Chapter 639: Each Performs His Duties

"There is no curtain hanging in the deep courtyard, and the jade and green feathers are bright and fragrant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe colors in the world are difficult to be similar, and the light moon is not falling. Zhao Yu looked up at the wooden plaque, although it was a little mottled, but it was well preserved, obviously someone often wiped it, and it was left here as a treasure, he groaned softly.

"Li Xiang is not only honest and honest in the official, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, this style is also excellent, a few words not only fit the occasion, but also a portrayal of the current mood, although he is degraded here, he is still worried about national affairs." Liu Huang touched his beard and said with some emotion.

"Yes! Let's take a look at what the next one says: The ice jade style shines on the throne, and the Yan side meets and is wide. Silk clothes with life aspirations, mindfulness of the ghost Shang Suguan. Xu Zongren nodded and said, "Li Xiang is borrowing flowers to Yongzhi, although he has been relegated thousands of miles away, he still does not forget his original intention!" ”

"Blocking the whale wave robbers, the Central Plains looked back. There is no place to clear the sorrow, and there are flowers to comfort the guests. "Ying Jieyan recited the third word one by one, "Li Xiang not only did not resent the king, but he was not disheartened after arriving in Qiong, on the contrary, he was ready to live on this island for a long time, and Mr. Dongpo, who was open-minded than Mr. Dongpo, did not let Sumeru!" ”

"Alas, Li Xiang's fate is good, and he was pardoned and returned after only a few days, but I have been here for three years, and the day of return is far away!" Zhao Yu doesn't have such a good cultivation, it is difficult to understand the artistic conception in it, and he only sighs that he was born at the wrong time.

"Your Majesty, don't be discouraged, this year I have won a series of battles, and I have gotten rid of the dilemma of panic at the beginning, and next year will only be better!" Liu Huang didn't expect the little emperor to say such frustrating words, so he hurriedly comforted.

"Maybe!" Zhao Hao cried and laughed, "For several years, I have been trembling and trembling, and I dare not relax in the slightest, lest I lose the last place of the Great Song Dynasty, but the Tartars are powerful, and the foundation will become deeper and deeper." However, we are struggling, and the day of our return to China is indefinite, which makes me feel helpless and tired. ”

"Your Majesty also said that the restoration of the country is not an overnight thing, and it is necessary to accumulate strength in Taoguang, and then launch a large-scale counterattack when the army is strong and strong, how can you say this today!" Ying Jieyan frowned.

"The governor should be serious, Your Majesty is still in the year of the general horn, but he has been in power for several years, leading the army to fight on the battlefield and fight for this powerful land. I think you are still in the process of enlightenment at such an age, and I just feel a little emotional when I read Li Xiangliu's book today! Liu Huang listened to Ying Yan's words, as if he had a sense of reproach, and immediately answered and defended the little emperor.

"Yes, although the governor is an emperor, he should not be too harsh. This year, His Majesty conquered Quanzhou, quelled the chaos, defeated Ali The Hague, and sent troops to the north, which is not an earth-shattering thing. Although I did not go to the battlefield in person, I was always anxious, and His Majesty personally planned several battles, and I must personally dispatch every battle, and the pressure was too great for us to bear, so what was the point of complaining a few words! Xu Zongren also spoke up.

"You...... Thus I have become a wicked man! Ying Jieyan couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, but thinking that His Majesty was only nine years old after the New Year, he and His Majesty got along day and night to discuss military affairs, but ignored his age and ability to bear it, and pointed at the two of them embarrassedly and scolded with a smile.

"Your Majesty, are you too tired these days, and you heard that Your Majesty wants to form a new army?" Liu Huang looked at the little emperor with swollen eyes and said.

"Yes, but it's not always like that!" Zhao Hao sighed.

"What else is there to worry about Your Majesty?" Xu Zongren then asked.

"It's mainly a matter in the army, there are too many drawbacks, and it's difficult to solve it for a while, and now that the war is frequent, I'm worried that the fighter will be delayed!" Zhao Yu pinched his forehead with a melancholy face and said.

"Oh, can Your Majesty talk to your ministers, maybe it can help Your Majesty?" Liu Huang said.

"It's okay, I'm a little tired from leaving, just looking for a place to rest!" Zhao Hao thought for a moment, he felt that this was also an opportunity, just to see their reactions......

Military reform has been brewing in Zhao Yu's mind for a long time, and he knows very well that with the gradual increase in the use of firearms, it will inevitably bring about a military change, and he is faced not only with the reduction and replacement of old equipment, but also with changes in the military and arms, the refinement of training, and changes in the way officers are selected and appointed. The old military management and command system of the Great Song Dynasty was not suitable for the current situation, and when the dynasty had not yet arrived, he could act at will, but now he can't, and it is time to change.

Zhao Yu knew that he could train reserve officers and reserve personnel by forming a new army, but it was still difficult to change the problems existing in the system. At present, the most conspicuous problem of the Song Army is the irrational division of services and arms, which eventually leads to an irrational ratio of combat units to non-combat troops, an irrational ratio of combatants to non-combatants, and an irrational ratio of officers and soldiers, resulting in an irrational distribution of resources, which affects the formation of combat effectiveness.

In addition, in the current command structure, there are not only the problems of multiple command levels and long chain of command, but also the conspicuous problems of difficulty in joint command, joint training, and joint support. However, the management situation of the armed forces is rather special, and most of the military exercises and logistics management projects are carried out in peacetime, but once they enter wartime, they immediately enter the operational state of management, which can make it easy for multiple departments to interfere with each other, resulting in low efficiency.

In addition, Zhao Yu has always been worried about the serious regional phenomenon of the troops, and in the early days of its establishment, the formation of fellow villagers in the same unit was conducive to unity, and the offense and defense were hand in hand, and there would be no problems. However, he was worried that as he grew stronger, the phenomenon of cronyism would easily arise, which would lead to the formation of new military blocs, and the problems of difficulty in implementing government decrees, disobedience to management, and even collective corruption and mutual cover-up. And if there is a problem, it will be like Lu Wenhuan's downgrading, which will lead to the collapse of the entire front.

There is another question, although it seems to be far away, but Zhao Yujue's people have no long-term worries. However, once the war for the restoration of the country is launched, it will inevitably be divided into several military groups and march separately, and it will be difficult for him to personally command, so it will be necessary to set up an organization to command the troops in the area where he is located, and conduct comprehensive, effective, and coordinated operations. Now the old has failed, the new has not yet been established, and there will be chaos.

Zhao Hao knew very well that the existence of these problems was mainly due to the insuitability of the current military leadership and command system, and the main role of the army was to fight wars, but a military unit must always have its administrative management system, but if this system had to manage administration and operations, I am afraid it would not be too busy. Therefore, it can be divided into two parts: military and political and military orders, which are simply 'military and political training, and military orders and main battles'. And this can be divided into the mode of separating military orders and military administration, the mixed mode and the mode of integrating military and political and military orders.

In modern times, military powers mostly adopt the mode of separating military orders and military administration. That is, directing and fighting wars is separated from raising troops in peacetime. Those who are in charge of commanding wars do not care about matters such as the construction of services and arms; Those who manage and raise soldiers are not to participate in wartime operational command. For example, the US military's high-level leadership and management system, that is, the military-political system, has its main function of "raising troops," and the head of state and the secretary of defense are in charge of army building through the departments of the various services, including formulating national defense policies, national defense budgets, and troop force planning, and being responsible for the administrative management, combat readiness training, and procurement of weapons and equipment.

In the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Yu of course did not act rashly, strictly speaking, it was not a reform, but a reform was more appropriate. People know that the army of the Song Dynasty lost many victories in foreign wars, and accumulated serious drawbacks, but this is not the case in the system, it should be said that it is ahead of this era, and even in later generations, it is not backward, and it is useless.

"A glass of wine releases military power" is a well-known allusion, but everyone also knows that if only those veteran generals are deprived of their military rights, and there is no system construction, there will still be new military generals who support their own troops. As a result, Song Taizu began to reform the military system, separating the power to transfer troops and command troops, and those who transferred troops could not command troops, and those who commanded troops could not transfer troops, so as to effectively eliminate the situation of self-arrogance and chaos in the past feudal towns.

"The talisman is out of the privy, and not in the command of the multitude; The soldiers are subordinate to the Sanya, and they are not allowed to dictate it. "That is to say, the Privy Council and the Zhongshu Province divide power and control the military charms;" "Sanya" - the front of the palace is in command of the envoys, the guards are in command of the horses, and the guards are in command of the infantry troops, respectively commanding the forbidden army, cavalry, and infantry; And the military department is the most pitiful, only responsible for logistics affairs and managing the local army.

Under this system, the Privy Council had the power to transfer troops, but not the army; Sanya is in charge of the army, but has no right to transfer troops; In the event of war, the emperor appointed ministers to lead the troops, thus realizing the separation of "the right to send troops" and "the weight of holding troops". In this way, Zhao Kuangyin strengthened the power of the Privy Council, which was used to divide the power of the military department - that is, to weaken the power of the prime minister and ensure the emperor's complete control over the army.

Of course, the Song Dynasty did not say that there was nothing wrong with this military system, but at the expense of efficiency, the Song Dynasty implemented a change of military law, stipulating that the army regularly changed its station, and the generals did not transfer with the army, and the management of the army did not directly lead the troops to fight, resulting in "the generals do not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals". In the traditional battlefield, which is dominated by manpower and cold weapons, it is impossible to bring troops, or even to command, and such a separation of military and government orders actually weakens the army's combat effectiveness. Therefore, Zhao Yu also thought for a long time, considering whether to fully implement the modern system of strict separation of military and government and military orders, or to centralize power in a single way.

But after a few battles, Zhao Hao also had some experience, in fact, there is no certain rule which model is more reasonable. Whether or not the military, the government, and military orders are separated is aimed at whether or not the army can command swiftly and flexibly, lead and manage the army scientifically, efficiently, and multi-competently, and provide effective combat support. A model that suits the military's weaponry, operational command, and management level is a good model. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the differences in national conditions and military conditions, and the separation of military and government and military orders is not to be put in place all at once, but also to consider the degree of separation of military and government and military orders in light of the level and needs of economic development......

Xiao Shami found a clean room for the emperor, and prepared tea, everyone sat on the ground, Zhao Yuping retreated, leaving only Wang De and Su Lan to wait, Ni Liang led the guards to guard outside.

"Hehe......" Just sat down, Zhao Yu looked left and right, and suddenly smiled.

"Why is Your Majesty laughing?" Xu Zongren also followed and looked, but didn't find anything wrong, and asked strangely.

"Hehe, I'm afraid I won't be able to become a Buddha in my life!" Zhao Yu smiled again.

"Why did Your Majesty say that?" Xu Zongren was even more strange when he heard this, and asked again.

"Xu Shangshu, this is a pure place for Buddhism, and the Buddha is watching there, but we want to talk about killing here, won't it make the Buddha unhappy!" Zhao Yu pointed to the portrait of Sakyamuni hanging on the wall behind him and sighed, and everyone laughed when they heard the portrait.

"Your Majesty, what my emperor did was to eliminate the tyrannical yuan, save all the people from fire and water, and purify all sentient beings, how could the Buddha blame, and he will definitely bless His Majesty to achieve the great cause of restoring the country!" Xu Zongren waved his hand again and again.

"What Xu Shangshu said is extremely true, Your Majesty is the body of the Son of Heaven, and it is a righteous thing, how can the Buddha blame!" Ying Jie Yan smiled and stroked his beard and said.

"With a few auspicious words, I will discuss this matter with you to see if it is feasible!" Zhao Yu arched his hand.

"Your Majesty, please speak, and the ministers will listen to you!" The three of them saluted.

"You are all veterans of the court, we have defeated the enemy army several times, and we know that the navy army has made great contributions, but our navy army is still not independent as an army, it is still under the control of the infantry army, and the war is controlled by it, I don't think it is appropriate!" Zhao Yu said, but he also knows that the subordination of the navy to the infantry army is also determined by historical conditions, the world at this time is limited to the underdevelopment of science and technology, it is difficult to develop and utilize the ocean, so it still belongs to the era of land power, and the competition is for the resources on the land, resulting in the navy is not valued, so it is in a subordinate position, and it is more used as a means of transportation.

"Well, what Your Majesty said is good, our army can hold the Qiongzhou Navy to account for eighty percent of the credit!" Ying Jieyan nodded.

"All these years of traveling to the sea, it is all relying on the navy to defeat the enemy, so that it will not be lost!" Xu Zongren also thinks that this is the case.

"Your Majesty means that you want to justify the name of the navy?" Liu Huang asked thoughtfully.

"Exactly, I want to change the command of the three yas to two ya, abolish the cavalry and merge it into the infantry army. At the same time, the powers of the two yamen will be expanded, and they will not only assume the power of raising troops, but also assume the responsibilities of training, assessment, selection of military generals, daily management, and baggage support! Zhao Yu nodded.

"Your Majesty has made such a big change, will it encroach on the power of the Privy Council and make the power of the two government too great?" Ying Jieyan frowned and asked.

"The Privy Council's right to transfer troops will not be usurped, on the contrary, they can specialize in combat, formulate battle plans in peacetime, study strategies and tactics, and together they can command the infantry and naval armies to fight together. The two yamen are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, so that the military and the government and the military orders are separated, each performing its own duties, each in charge of its own affairs, and avoiding excessive concentration of power! Zhao Yu explained.

"Well, in this way, the responsibility of the military department is strengthened, and the authority of the three yamen is confirmed, so that the Privy Council can concentrate on the war!" Liu Di looked at the other two and nodded......
