After Lu Yijian finished speaking, Zhao Jun just laughed a few times and did not answer immediately.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Zhao Jun meant.
Zhao Zhen asked tentatively, "Well, Grandson, I also think you have such talent. What do you think?"
Zhao Jun thought for a moment and then said, "I have a question."
"you say."
Lu Yijian said.
"Can this department mobilize troops?"
Zhao Jun asked.
"this"
Everyone looked at each other, and Wang Zeng shook his head repeatedly and said, "No."
"If a country wants to develop, it's not just about the system and science; the military is equally important."
Zhao Jun frowned and said, "And reform is absolutely impossible without bloodshed. This is something I've emphasized time and again. Once large-scale political changes are made, the military will most likely be deployed. Without the military, how can reforms be carried out?"
"Isn't having the Imperial City Division enough?"
Wang Sui asked.
"not enough."
Zhao Jun shook his head and said, "The enemy is not only external, but also internal. A great man once said that we never fight a battle without preparation and confidence, nor do we fight a battle with preparation but no confidence. Governing a country is like fighting a war. How can we succeed without absolute power?"
"Forehead"
Everyone looked at Zhao Zhen.
The Song Dynasty's army was not in their hands, but in Zhao Zhen's hands.
Zhao Zhen was also dumbfounded and asked, "Is it necessary to have an army?"
Zhao Jun said: "It requires the support of the military. Some African leaders are visionary, such as Sankara, who is an idealist."
Speaking of Sankara, Zhao Jun couldn't help but pause, his thoughts drifting away. He put on a serious expression, looked up at the sky, and said, "Sankara is the light of Africa. He implemented land reform, cracked down on capital assets, punished corrupt officials, opposed colonialism, safeguarded national independence, and was determined to change Burkina Faso's backwardness. But what was the result?"
"What was the result?"
Zhao Zhen asked.
"He was betrayed by the people closest to him, stabbed in the back by the people he considered his brothers!"
Zhao Jun shook his head and said, "It was because he trusted the other party too much and handed the army to him that he suffered betrayal. Therefore, the gun is as important as the pen. Especially when carrying out major reforms, once the reforms affect the interests of the military, it is easy to be overthrown and become a military government. If you want to reform, you must hold military power in your hands."
Everyone fell silent.
Only Zhao Jun raised his head, looked up at the sky and said, "History is full of regrets. The Southern Song Dynasty had Yue Fei's helplessness and the tragic hero who jumped into the sea from Yashan. The Southern Ming Dynasty had the self-reliance of Emperor Longwu Zhu Youjian and the perseverance of Prince of Jin Li Dingguo. Africa also has such figures."
"Sankara was a gentleman, more so than anyone here. He rode his bicycle to get off work every day, unaccompanied by bodyguards. He clung to his ideals, never giving up, unwilling to compromise. His integrity and inner righteousness shamed his enemies. He was a true idealist."
"People like him include Che Guevara, Allende, Castro, Lumumba and so on. These people are like brilliant meteors streaking across the sky and are remembered by the world."
"When the whole world was oppressed and exploited by capitalism, they stood up and fought for it. People will never forget that these idealists stood up for the people, spoke out for the people, and brought light and hope to the people."
"Although I feel I have no ability or qualifications to compare with them, now that I have arrived in the Song Dynasty, in this land full of suffering, I also hope to hold on to my idealistic aspirations, wanting to make the Song Dynasty a better place and to make the people of the Song Dynasty live a better life."
“Ordinary people know who is good to them, and they also know who their enemies are and who their friends are.”
"The officials and landlords of the Song Dynasty often only care about their own selfish interests, forgetting that it is the country and the people who have given them the lives they have today, and forgetting that they have stepped on the heads of the country and the people to have their current lives."
"When the day comes when the people can no longer endure, they will rise up, raise the banner of resistance, and overthrow those who oppress them."
"If you still don't change your mindset and treat the people of the Song Dynasty as your friends and family, then sooner or later, they will treat you as their enemies, and the dynasty will fall, and history will once again fall into a cycle of reincarnation."
"So I need military power. I don't want to deal with the people of the Song Dynasty. I want to deal with those who oppress and exploit the people and bully them."
"They will be my enemies, and they will be your enemies. I need everyone to unite and work towards a common goal."
"The Song Dynasty is rotten, decayed from the root. We must tear down the rotten house and build a new one."
Zhao Jun retracted his gaze from the sky, looked around, and said solemnly and sincerely: "And the army is the assistant who helps tear down the rotten house!"
After the conversation ended, everyone lowered their heads. Some were in deep thought, some were frowning, and some were suddenly enlightened.
But what everyone had in common was that no one answered Zhao Jun's question.
It’s not that they don’t want to, but they can’t make the decision on this matter, nor do they dare to make the decision, because the military power of the Song Dynasty has always been in the hands of only one person.
That person is Zhao Zhen!
"how?"
Zhao Jun asked, "Can't you do it?"
“It’s a bit difficult.”
Lü Yijian thought of a compromise and turned to look at Zhao Zhen and said, "How about this: if we need to mobilize the army, we can ask the emperor for permission. If the emperor agrees, the army can be mobilized naturally."
