No matter what the result is, Wenyuan has to do something to show the people of Jingjiang Prefecture.

He was considered an old man in the court and understood that if an official fails to do anything, it is a kind of guilt.

As Wen Zheyan's brother, he came to Jingjiang Prefecture with doubts and needed to work greater than others and do more things in order to gain the trust of the people.

Time passes slowly.

It was mid-February in a blink of an eye.

All the ice and snow outside Changsha City have melted, and even some slightly impatient green buds are emerging from the top of the tree.

There is spring.

The new imperial examination in the first year of Dingchang also officially sounded the drums and drums at this time.

Zhao Dongting appeared in Yuelu Academy on the first day of the imperial examination, cheering the students.

Although there are imperial examinations this year, there are no more top scorers, and no one else, and other people who can just pass the exam and become well-known to everyone in the world. However, although these students, literary talent, debate, etc. that were born under the new type of education are probably far inferior to those of the previous top scorers, second scorers, etc., when it comes to politics, they are definitely not comparable to those of the previous scholars.

The knowledge they learned in the institution is too targeted.

Yue Peng, Su Quandang, Liu Zhuwen, Liu Hongyi and Shi Kaiji also arrived in Changsha a few days ago.

Because the northern border is still confronting the Yuan army, they arrived in Changsha this year quietly, no longer causing a stir as in previous years.

Liu Hongyi was the last one to come because Wen Zheyan and others were delayed.

Before him, Yue Peng and others had already made the previous jobs in front of Zhao Dongting.

Overall, the imperial guards and defenders of the Song Dynasty have now had a stable system.

The imperial guards are still the main combat power of the Song Dynasty. Although they are deployed in various places, they can quickly go to the front line as long as there is war.

The garrison and the garrison are considered the backbone.

With them, we can probably guarantee that there will be no excessive turmoil in the Song Dynasty.

In the Western Xia and northern borders, many soldiers were killed in the imperial guards. Nowadays, most of them have selected soldiers from the garrison troops to fill and improve them.

It can be said that as long as there is sufficient logistics supply, it can deal with any war at any time.

After Liu Hongyi finished reporting his work at the imperial study room, Zhao Dongting asked Zhang Polu to pass the imperial examination to procure Su Quandang, Yue Peng and others into the imperial study room.

Of course, there are also ministers of the Ministry of War such as Su Liuyi and Zhong Jian.

Even Zhang Jue, who retired as the deputy head of the Military and Television Cabinet, is also listed here.

This should be said to be the first time since the establishment of the Song Dynasty Military Academy Cabinet, all important personnel gathered together.

After the ministers arrived at the Imperial Study, they all bowed to Zhao Dongting, "Long live the emperor!"

When Zhao Dongting faced these familiar faces that were too familiar to the point, his face was filled with smiles, "You are dear friends."

Then Zhang Polu and the others were asked to give seats to Wen Tianxiang and others.

These people here are all the backbone of the Song Dynasty army. Apart from Zhong Jian, the rest have made great contributions in the confrontation between the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, Dali and other countries.

After everyone sat down, Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "Today, all the ministers of our Grand Song Military and Mechanical Cabinet have arrived. I have two things to discuss with you."

As he said that, he looked at Wen Tianxiang, "First, I intend to let the military order return to Changsha to take charge of major military affairs with Deputy Military Order Su. The military order has agreed to this matter. I want to ask my dear friends now. You think, among the generals in the jurisdiction of Xingguo Military Region, who is the most suitable to take over the post of the marshal of the Xingguo Military Region?"

After saying that, he waved to Zhang Polu.

Zhang Polu took the pen and ink prepared early and handed it to Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Jue and others in turn.

Zhao Dongting said: "You can just write down the person you like most on paper."

Except for Wen Tianxiang who had long known about this and hurriedly picked up his pen to write, Zhang Jue, Yue Peng and others all thought about it slightly.

They had just learned about this, so naturally they had never thought about who was the most suitable person to take over as the marshal of Xingguo Military Region.

And this matter can definitely be said to be of great importance to the Song Dynasty.

After all, the marshals of various military regions can be said to be one of the most powerful people in the Song Dynasty.

While everyone was thinking about it, Zhao Dongting slowly talked about the second thing, "As for the second thing, it is about attacking the Yuan Dynasty. It has been more than ten years since the beginning of the Qingzhou. Now our Song Dynasty has finally had the ability to compete with the Yuan Dynasty. If they bully for so many years, it is time to divide the gap with them. I intend to launch an attack on the Yuan Dynasty next year. Before that, all the marshals have told me about the current situation of the military region."

"Our Song Dynasty imperial guards of 400,000, of which the local imperial guards need to be Zhennanhai and Japan, and I am afraid that they will not be able to participate in the battle against the Yuan Dynasty. Now I also want to discuss with you. Once an attack on the Yuan Dynasty is launched, how many troops can the major military regions be dispatched at most. The Yuan Dynasty now also has Shenlong guns, grenade launchers and other objects, so it cannot be underestimated. If we do not do our best, it is probably not so easy to defeat them. According to my opinion, if it is necessary, the garrison troops of the lords must participate in the war."

When he said these words, his speech was very slow. He didn't speak long, but it took a few minutes from the opening to the end.

At this time, Yue Peng and others also wrote the names of the people who felt that they were most suitable to take over as the marshal of Xingguo Military Region on paper.

Zhang Polu took back the papers one by one and put them on the desk in front of Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting looked at it one by one with a smile.

Then his eyes swept across everyone's faces and said in surprise: "Can you have discussed this matter before you come to this imperial study?"

Yue Peng laughed and said, "Master, are we all the Huang Hua pacifiers who wrote about it?"

Zhao Dongting nodded and said, "Since you all think that Huang Hua's pacification envoy is most suitable to serve as the marshal of Xingguo Military Region, then this matter has been decided."

He was really a little surprised. He didn't expect that Yue Peng and the others would have the same opinions on this matter. However, this also reassured him.

He himself also tends to let Huang Hua take over as the marshal of Xingguo Military Region. Now Su Liuyi, Zhang Jue, Yue Peng and others all think so, so this appointment should not be wrong.

Huang Hua must be capable, qualified, and prestige, and should be competent for the position of marshal of Xingguo Military Region.

He moved the paper to the side and said, "Then let's discuss the second thing next!"

After saying that, he turned his head to look at Zhang Tingen, "Tingen, offer tea."

He did not intend to end the first discussion of the military police department cabinet soon. In Zhao Dongting's mind, the significance of this matter was even greater than the selection of the marshal of the Xingguo Military Region.

He wants to make the discussion of the military and provincial cabinet the norm.

Zhang Tingen walked out of the house.

No one in the room was in a hurry to speak.

Zhao Dongting also let them think, until Zhang Tingen came in with tea, he said to Yue Peng: "Yue Peng, you tell me first!"

Yue Peng bowed to Zhao Dongting and said, "Emperor, our Xianglong Military Region is ready to go to war with the Yuan Dynasty. Currently, there are Dengzhou, Tangzhou and Caizhou. I am waiting for your order. I think that the Xiangyang Prefecture, Kuizhou Prefecture and Changde Prefecture garrisons can all be put into the northern front line. On Nanjing Road, our Xianglong Military Region's six imperial guards can reach Kaifeng Prefecture, and the Yuan army on Jingzhao Prefecture has a total of 60,000 garrisons. It should be more than enough to defeat the Yuan army. Even if the front line fails, we can still mobilize the defenders of each city. I have been urging the defenders of each city to practice diligently over the years. Although they are not as good as the garrisons and imperial guards, they will never be weaker than the Yuan army when they are pulled on the battlefield."

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly and turned his head to look at Su Quandang, "Su Quandang, where is your Jiankang Military Region?"

To the north of the Song Dynasty, the Jiankang Military Region and the Xianglong Military Region were the most brutal to the Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, he asked first about Yue Peng and Su Quandang.

Su Quandang also bowed and smiled and said, "Emperor, although our Jiankang Military Region only occupies Sizhou now, since the war with the Yuan Dynasty, my six imperial guards have been stationed around Zhucheng around Jiankang Mansion. I think that if the war begins, I can lead my army and Marshal Yue to break through Kaifeng Mansion. In addition, there are Jiankang Mansion and Lin'an Mansion garrison soldiers, they can attack Shandong East Road along the coast. It only depends on how much troops the Yuan Dynasty is willing to use to deal with it. In short, I think that our Song Dynasty is not afraid of fighting now. The defenders, the garrisons and the imperial guards have more than one million soldiers. I am very confident in fighting the Yuan Dynasty."
