In terms of military achievements, he certainly cannot compare with Zhang Kang and Di Qing, but this guy has exaggerated qualifications. He fought in the Battle of Chanzhou when he was young.

So he also holds the rank of general and the Dragon Flag Medal of the Chinese Song Empire.

After the musketeers came the generals' phalanx.

That’s all.

Because the generals' formation was actually Cao Cong, Li Yonghe, and Li Zhaoliang, with more than one hundred major generals sitting in more than thirty chariots of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

It is easy to say about General Zhu Shao, and even Cao Cong is acceptable. After all, like Wang Deyong, he also participated in the early Song-Xia War and the Song-Liao War. Although he did not have any achievements, he at least participated in these two wars.

But Li Yonghe and Li Zhaoliang were in an awkward position. They were both close relatives of the emperor's wife and were nominally the highest generals of the three yamen, but in fact they had no military achievements. So even Zhao Zhen was embarrassed to say too much about them. He just said that their ancestors had made great contributions and passed it over without saying anything else.

Afterwards, Zhao Zhen awarded them the rank of general. Except for Cao Cong, who was awarded the first-class medal for defeating the enemy and the first-class medal for defending the country for killing several people in the battle, the other two only had the rank of general without any other honors.

On the contrary, among those major generals, several people such as Yang Wenguang, Zhou Mei, Guo Zun, and Wang Zhongbao fought bravely and were awarded special merit or combat heroes.

After the generals' phalanx passed, it was the rest of the phalanxes led by Lieutenant Generals Ge Huaimin, Ren Fu, Gao Jixuan, etc., such as the artillery phalanx, vanguard phalanx, assaulter phalanx, naval phalanx, etc.

It is worth mentioning.

There were also two people in the navy who were awarded the rank of major general, one was Hu Yanshouyong, the former commander of the Dengzhou Pinghai Navy, and the other was Wang Kui, the former commander of the Binzhou Dinghai Navy.

In the Song Dynasty, the navy was not a separate military branch, but a vassal of the army and did not have the power to fight alone.

They have few personnel and troops, so the rank of the chief officers is not high. For example, after the establishment of the seven navies, the commanders can only be regarded as middle and lower-level officers, with only 5,000 soldiers and horses, which is far from comparable to the army.

However, Zhao Jun is now also slowly developing his naval power and plans to build more ironclad ships so that the navy can produce as many as possible.

After all, the Eastern Army is now invincible and should dominate the ocean.

Therefore, increasing the weight of the navy is inevitable.

Huyan Shouyong and Wang Kui followed Di Qing in the Battle of Shanhaiguan and made great contributions. Now they have been promoted to deputy chief of the navy with the rank of major general. When the navy becomes more powerful and has more troops, it is only a matter of time before the navy is listed separately.

By then, I'm afraid that the situation will not be like it is now, where the Song army has six generals, more than ten lieutenant generals, and more than one hundred major generals, all of whom are army generals except Huyan Shouyong and Wang Kui.

The appearance of admirals and vice admirals should also be a matter of course.
