Chapter 148: Love has to be done

In response to the strict lesson, although Zhao Yu agreed, he did not fully agree, what he did was a big thing to change the world with science and technology, how could it be a small way, he did not deny the role of conspiracy, but he was still uncomfortable when he was said so. But he also knew that arguing with the two gentlemen might be self-inflicted, so he skipped this topic and continued to discuss the reorganization of the Shuaifu army.

Zhao Yu's opinion on the new annex army is to maintain the status quo, enough for a commander to be organized into a command, enough for a team to still be organized into a team, even if it is incorporated into the army, the original establishment will be maintained, unless there are special skills or needs. For example, the Tan soldiers, who are familiar with the sea conditions of the South China Sea and are good at maneuvering boats and making tides, have to be assigned to each ship as a boat master or helmsman; The criminal army and the surrendered army are the objects of supervision, and it is easy to cause trouble when put together, so they have to be broken up and incorporated into the armies.

However, Deng Guangjian believed that it was just the right opportunity to carry out a major reorganization of the whole army and reorganize the ranks, so as to prevent the generals from knowing the soldiers and the soldiers, so as to avoid chaos among those who were not subservient, and also to make some generals and servants threaten each other, so as to ensure that the whole army respected His Royal Highness and that the military and political instructions were accessible. Although Ying Jieyan did not express his attitude, his words were also inclined to what he said.

Zhao Hao was silent for a while. He knew that Deng Guang's point of view originated from his 'old ancestor''s theory of governing the country with literature and martial arts, and strengthening cadres and weak branches. This is also one of the most criticized national policies in the previous generations, thinking that it was the rulers of the Song Dynasty who regarded this as a guideline, which led to the Song Dynasty's wealth and weakness, resulting in defeat in previous foreign wars and finally dying in foreign invasions. He did not deny that this policy had a great effect on the stability of the Song Dynasty, that is, the civilian government in modern society is also the mainstream of all countries in the world, which is the best interpretation of the subordination of war to politics.

But Zhao Yu thought that this was also a time, when the world was peaceful and the country and the people were safe, it was understandable to implement it like this, and there would be no big chaos; But if it is a time of war, it is not only a matter of defeat, but if you don't get it right, you will have to destroy the country and destroy the species. And now is the best example. At present, the great enemy is present, and what the army wants is combat effectiveness, and if we still talk about using civil culture to govern military force and divide and rule, it will only weaken the army's combat effectiveness. The result was still that Qiongzhou was lost, and he continued to find a way to escape, and everything was in vain.

In modern times, any military enthusiast, even one who cares about military affairs, knows that there are various prerequisites for the cultivation of a country's army's combat effectiveness, such as the popularization of national education, the perfection of the military service system, the perfection of the logistical supply system, the production and replenishment of weapons, and so on.

Although the army of the Song Dynasty 800 years ago established the earliest professional soldier system, national education was also the most popular in all dynasties, and the production of weapons formed a perfect system, which should be the closest to the model of the modern army. However, the officers and men of the army were busy receiving food, carrying goods, and collecting firewood on weekdays. Even smuggling to do business, every year does not catch up with the school review rare training. Even when Zhao Hao vigorously emphasized strengthening training after forming the Shuaifu Army, and officers at all levels also obeyed orders, thirty percent of the soldiers in the first battalion were often engaged in miscellaneous work, and it was impossible to conduct systematic training at all.

However, these untrained volunteers and local troops, in the previous battles of King Qin, armed with rudimentary weapons, fought very well, although they suffered heavy casualties, they did not retreat, and they had stronger combat effectiveness than the forbidden army. It follows that the combat effectiveness of an army does not necessarily depend entirely on those prerequisites, and factors such as the ability and morale of officers are equally important. Of course, this does not deny the role of the modern system, without which it is impossible to guarantee the long-term combat effectiveness or even maintain the existence of an army.

Now the Great Song Dynasty has basically come to the verge of extinction, and the Shuaifu army is financially tight. It has always been to the extent that it is barely enough to eat well, and the protection that the imperial court could give in the past has been lost, and all kinds of laws and policies have not been able to play their functions, but it has been able to maintain until now. can also obey his own orders and follow him to Qiongzhou, which everyone regards as a daunting path. Zhao Yu thought that in addition to the national righteousness, there was only the relationship between him and the officers and soldiers. The role of relationships has replaced institutions.

And Zhao Yu was thinking about how to save his life, and he also vigorously promoted his cronies, and the first people who followed him were basically in high positions. Needless to say, Zhao Mengjin, Cai Wanyi, Liu Zhu and others have some skills, and Ni Liang, who is a fool in the eyes of everyone, is in charge of the guards, and Zhou Xiang, who is timid and afraid of death, has become the head of the first bureau, but Zhuang Shilin and the businessmen have mastered the financial power of the house. Most of them were just ordinary village men or penniless soldiers in the army, and they were only promoted because they had received less than two months of training from the prince.

In this cultural atmosphere of human affection, each ****** naturally hopes to appoint people who have a relationship with him in order to do things; When rewarding and punishing, it is natural to favor one's own people. As for those subordinates and colleagues who have no relationship, they must try to cultivate affection and trust, and with emotion and trust, they can do things well and be united. Zhao Yu also worked hard to create a family atmosphere in the group, giving favors and receiving merit, and trying his best to win over the leaders of all parties. In this case, the system can only be replaced by "relationship". In addition to replacing standard orders with warrants, the appointment of middle- and lower-level personnel must also be personally summoned by him for ringing.

If the reorganization is carried out according to the opinions of the two masters, the interpersonal network between the members of the army will be destroyed, and the combat strength of their units will be immediately affected; If there is a change in the central character in the network, the impact on combat power will be greater. Reckless forcible action will inevitably lead to resistance from the local military departments, causing serious turmoil and unrest, and even the army of the commander will disintegrate.

And Zhao Yu didn't realize that the 'bane' he planted would cause trouble and trouble in the future. Only those officers who have suddenly attained high positions have little experience in commanding and honing the command of large armies, or even none at all, and they will certainly not be able to have the experience of senior commanders in a short period of time, let alone the means of warfare other than offensive and defensive warfare. However, junior officers who are rapidly promoted from the ranks of soldiers not only lack experience at the grassroots level, but also have the ambition of young people, so they are naturally prone to become arrogant and complacent and do not seek progress.

However, the situation is like this, so Zhao Yu is not unable to do military reform, but he is unable to do it, and he cannot do it for the time being. In addition to uniting all parties with the general interests of the nation, Zhao Hao's openness and honesty to all parties and his example have enabled everyone to obey the orders of the marshal's government at least superficially, maintain formal unity, and be able to unite against the enemy......
