Although Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng were stunned, they could sit still.

They have been up and down in the sea for many years, and they have never seen any scenes.

They were confident that they remembered what Kou Ji said.

Cao Wei and the others had a bad premonition in their hearts, but because of their face, they didn't ask for paper records.

After Kou Ji took everyone's expressions into his eyes, he said with a smile: "My Great Song military system is too complicated, so there will be many problems. So I consulted with many colleagues in the Privy Council, as well as the officials, and decided to keep the complexity simple.

First of all, the number of each department.

My Great Song Dynasty Soldiers and Horses are too complicated, which causes many people to remember incompletely, and thus makes a lot of jokes.

So after discussing with the officials, I felt that I could streamline the number of the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty.

After streamlining, the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army no longer used the previous number, but used the new number.

They are four towns, four yong, two tigers, and two stops.

The four towns are the east of the town, the south of the town, the north of the town, and the west of the town.

The four Yongs are Yong'an, Yongping, Yongding, and Yongxing.

Two tigers, namely Tiger Ben and Tiger Wei.

The two stoppers are static plugs and protective plugs.

The above numbers are all forbidden army numbers.

The number of soldiers was 50,000.

A total of 600,000 soldiers and horses.

They were stationed in the southeast, northwest, and four borders of our Great Song Dynasty.

Among them, the east of the town and the south of the town are all water armies.

Zhenbei, Huben, sit in the north.

Zhenxi, Huwei, sitting in the west.

Jingsai, Baosai, sitting on the border of Song and Liao.

The four armies of An, Ping, Ding, and Xing respectively guarded Xining, Taiyuan, Bozhou, and Yongzhou.

In addition to the above 600,000 forbidden troops, there are three other forbidden armies sitting in Bianjing.

They are the Dragon Guard, Tianwu, and the Sun.

Among them, the dragon guard, the full number of soldiers is 10,000.

Tianwu and Touji, the full number of soldiers is 50,000 each.

In order to prevent the Dragon Guard, Tianwu, and Zhuri from living in Bianjing City for a long time, it is a training, and it is difficult to defend the imperial city.

Every three years, 10,000 elite soldiers are drawn from the forbidden armies to supplement the Dragon Guard, and the original Dragon Guard 10,000 soldiers and horses are assigned to the armies to make up for the vacancies.

Every ten years, 100,000 elite soldiers are drawn from the forbidden armies to supplement the Tianwu and Japanese armies, and the soldiers and horses of the original Tianwu and Japanese armies are sent to the armies respectively to make up for the vacancies.

This move is to ensure that at any time, the garrison of Bianjing City, as well as the town troops in various places, will maintain excellent combat effectiveness. ”

At this point, Kouji paused.

Chong Shiheng didn't care about his face, and ordered the eunuch standing beside him to help him get a pen and paper.

Kou Ji's simple words gave more information than all the words he had said before.

Chong Shiheng's head can remember, but the military system that Kou Ji said has completely broken the inherent military system of the Great Song Dynasty, and the inherent knowledge in his brain is not enough for him to distinguish the rationality.

He had to write it down and analyze it sentence by sentence.

Then when we talk about it later, we have something to say.

Some people may think that what Kou Ji said is very simple, why does Shiheng think that there is a lot of information?

That's because everything Kou Ji said was based on the existing Great Song Dynasty soldier and horse system.

The new number, the new equipment of soldiers and horses, which involves the deployment of generals, soldiers and horses, and the deployment of soldiers and horses, all need to be taken into account.

What's more, the new military system proposed by Kou Ji only integrated 710,000 forbidden troops, and there are many more forbidden troops that have not been integrated, and how to settle these forbidden army soldiers is also a big problem.

Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng and the others were frowning and thinking to themselves.

They were analyzing Kou Ji's words sentence by sentence, their minds spinning rapidly, but they didn't mean to interject.

After a pause, Kou Ji continued: "After the forbidden army is reorganized, the three yas and the privy council will be combined into one, and there will be no three yayas in the future, only the privy council.

The Privy Council is in charge of the transfer of troops, and it is also in charge of the dispatch of generals. ”‘

As soon as Kou Ji's words came out, the people present, except for Zhao Zhen, almost frowned into a Sichuan character.

At the beginning of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the reason why the Sanya and the Privy Council were set up respectively to take charge of the troops and generals was that they were afraid that the power of the generals would fall into the hands of one person.

Now that the power of Kou Ji's generals to dispatch soldiers has been included in the Privy Council, they naturally feel uncomfortable.

Kou Ji looked at everyone and continued, "In the future, the Privy Council will only be in charge of the forbidden army. ”

When Lu Yijian and the others heard this, they looked dazed, and they didn't understand the meaning of Kou Ji's words.

Kou Ji said: "After the Privy Council takes over the Sanya, it will confiscate all the tiger talismans. In non-wartime, the deployment of the forbidden army must pass the Privy Council seal. The Privy Council military seal, one seal and two points, half of the official's palm, and half of the privy envoy's palm.

If it is necessary to transfer troops, it is necessary to combine the two seals and stamp the transfer documents before they can be dispatched.

During the war, the forbidden army was dispatched, and the officials would issue tiger charms at all levels. ”

Lu Yijian and the others widened their eyes one by one.

The final result of Kou Ji's move was that Zhao Zhen really got the military power in the world, and at the same time, Zhao Zhen and the Privy Council were in charge of the military power.

Today's privy envoy is Kou Ji, which means that Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji will share the power of the army.

What are they doing now?

Innovation!

What will you do in the future?

Completely revolutionize the Great Song!

Now that the two of them are reforming the military system, they firmly grasp the military power in their hands, what is their purpose?

Lu Yijian and others know it.

They are preparing their forces for the revolution that will follow.

Lü Yijian and the others were almost certain that Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji would definitely make concessions in terms of other military systems in the subsequent discussions.

But on this article, the two will definitely not make the slightest concession.

Kou Ji guessed the thoughts of Lu Yijian and the others through the reactions of Lu Yijian and the others, but he didn't explain much, he continued: "The above is the military system involving the Privy Council.

Now I will talk about the military system involved in the Ministry of War.

Once the new formation of the forbidden army is completed, there will inevitably be many soldiers of the forbidden army.

At that time, the remaining soldiers of the forbidden army will be incorporated into the various defenders.

The roads set up by our Great Song Dynasty have all set up a garrison.

Full quota of 10,000 people.

It is in the hands of the Ministry of War.

Military salaries are distributed by the Ministry of War.

All the chambers, feudal domains, ya, defending the city, and the soldiers and horses of the countryside were all abolished.

Each prefecture, prefecture, and county shall set up government soldiers, state soldiers, and county soldiers.

The number of government soldiers is 1,000, the number of state soldiers is 800, and the number of county soldiers is 500.

The above soldiers and horses are all under the jurisdiction of the yamen of each prefecture, prefecture and county, and each prefecture, prefecture and county yamen also has corresponding officials.

The nationality belongs to the Ministry of War, but the military salary is distributed by the Ministry of Households, and the salary is equivalent to the three classes of government service in each road.

After the establishment of the prefecture, prefecture, and county three levels of soldiers and horses, the remaining soldiers and horses were filled into the three classes of each government.

The number of the three classes of the county yamen was set at 30.

The state yamen, the number of people is set at ninety.

The number of people in the government yamen is also ninety.

After the replenishment of the three classes of government service, the remaining soldiers and horses were reinstated, and the soldiers were retired and returned to the peasants. ”

Lu Yijian and the others, when they heard this, they couldn't react at all, their brows were furrowed together, their minds were chaotic, and the more they thought about it, the more chaotic they became.

The proposal put forward by Kou Ji is very conflicting with the existing military system and official system, and it is very big.

Every conflict that collided in their minds could form a huge spark, and eventually the sparks joined together and turned into a sea of fire, burning their heads into a pulp.

"Help...... Help the old man get pen and ink and come over......"

Lu Yijian couldn't bear it anymore, so he beckoned the eunuchs around him and helped him get pen and ink.

Lu Yijian made a start, and the others no longer held on, and asked the eunuch for pen and ink.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji glanced at each other and smiled.

All of this was discussed between the two of them and the officials of the Privy Council.

The aim is to put all the soldiers and horses where they should be.

In the future, 710,000 soldiers and horses of the forbidden army, in addition to guarding the imperial city, will sit on the border and fight abroad.

Nothing else.

In the words of later generations, it belongs to the field army.

It can act as an expeditionary force when necessary.

The armies set up in each region were responsible for suppressing local rebellions, exterminating local bandits, suppressing major insurrections, and helping the provinces, prefectures, and counties to deal with some problems that were difficult for them to deal with in military affairs.

As for the soldiers and horses in various prefectures, prefectures, and counties, they are mainly to maintain local law and order, which is almost equivalent to being organized by foreign officials.

Somewhat similar to the later Vult.

Naturally, the officials don't need to say much.

According to common sense, in fact, when Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji were reforming the military system, there was no need to stuff people into the yamen in various places, which would only increase the consumption of some money.

They also did this in preparation for the reforms that followed.

A large part of the reason why the imperial power does not go to the countryside is due to the civil and military officials in the yamen at all levels, as well as the third-class officials.

Most of the civil and military officials in the yamen at all levels, as well as the third-class officials, are local wealthy families or the sons of local heroes.

Not only did they control the speech of the court, but they even controlled the local government.

Some officials who have not done anything have basically been in a state of being hollowed out by them since they took up their posts.

Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji did this just to mix sand inside.

The inherent sitting tiger, when he meets the dragon who has been assigned to various places, there will inevitably be conflicts in the distribution of interests, and the two sides will inevitably fight to the death.

The soldiers who were assigned to the localities were certainly not the opponents of the powerful in those places.

Therefore, when necessary, Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen will secretly instruct local soldiers and horses to participate.

All in all.

As the soldiers were assigned to the local government as government officials, the water of the Great Song Dynasty in terms of culture and governance would be completely muddyed.

At that time, it will be much more convenient for Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen to do things.

What's more, the two of them are behind the back, supporting the soldiers who have been assigned to the place, and those soldiers will naturally speak for the two of them.

The two of them can be regarded as having people in the place.

The local area will not be completely controlled by those powerful people.

Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen not only planned one ring after another when dealing with the emperor's relatives and Wu Xun, but also when reforming the military system.

Of course.

After the two of them agreed on this matter, they knew that the nail they had planted in the military system would definitely be discovered.

But the two of them were not worried that their military system would not be enforced.

All military reforms are carried out from the top down.

First arrange the forbidden army, stabilize the Quartet, and stabilize the entire Great Song Dynasty.

And then progress to implement roads, prefectures, states, and counties.

Little by little, the soldiers and horses were infiltrated.

Finally, the distribution of servants.

By the time of the distribution of government service, the soldiers and horses of the yamen at the road, government, prefecture, and county levels had been fully set up.

If the local tyrants resist this matter, the imperial court has enough reasons, and soldiers and horses at all levels will join in and suppress the local tyrants.

forced the local heroes to bow their heads and accept the soldiers into the yamen.

If the local heroes are in chaos, the pacification division at the road level can quickly gather the soldiers and horses in the territory, assemble a large army, and press towards the locality.

It can be said that this move is more conducive to maintaining local stability than one soldier and three auxiliaries in the military system of the Great Song Dynasty.

If it is a road-level yamen that can't deal with the local rebellion, you can also ask the nearby four Yongzitou forbidden troops to sit in the Quartet of the Great Song Dynasty.

Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen planted the four forbidden armies of Yongding, Yongping, Yongxing, and Yongan in Xining, Taiyuan, Bozhou, Yongzhou and other places.

It plays the role of a two-sided helper.

Internally, it can quickly rush to the aid of all roads, and externally it can quickly rush to the Quartet.

For internal ammunition pressure, the four forbidden armies with the prefix of Yongzi can quickly join forces with local soldiers and horses to assemble a force of no less than 70,000 soldiers and horses.

50,000 elite soldiers, leading more than 20,000 local soldiers, is enough to quickly suppress the local people's uprising.

Externally, the forbidden army with the prefix of four Yongzi can quickly rush to the aid of the forbidden army with the prefix of the four towns, as well as the forbidden army with two stopper characters.

Whether it is rushing to the Song-Liao border, the northern border, or the western border, they can quickly gather 150,000 elite soldiers.

150,000 elite soldiers, enough to deal with the enemy attack on either side.

What's more, if it is an expedition of the forbidden army with the prefix of the four towns, the forbidden army with the prefix of the four eternal characters can also quickly take over from them to take on the heavy task of defending the border.

All in all, in terms of troop deployment and troop allocation, Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen racked their brains to come up with a relatively sound and stable military system.

Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji racked their brains to come up with the deep meaning of the deployment of troops, and Lu Yijian and the others didn't think of that for the time being.

They were still quickly digesting what Koji had said.

Kou Ji didn't continue to speak when they sent someone to fetch pen and paper.

Although he had the idea of disgusting Lu Yijian and the others in his heart, he couldn't put it into action.

What we are talking about at the moment is a matter of state, not a child's play.

After they took the pen and paper, Kou Ji slowly spoke: "In terms of supervising the army, the supervision system is retained, but in the forbidden army, the supervision army is implemented at the battalion level at most.

At the local level, it can be implemented at the metropolitan level.

And the prison army is no longer filled by civil officials and eunuchs.

The official family is ready to revive the martial arts, and in the future, the supervisors in the army will be filled by the jinshi from the martial arts.

In the martial arts, in addition to the martial arts test, a part of the literary test will be added accordingly.

The supervising army is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War.

Abolish the temporary arbitrary power of the prison army. ”

"In terms of military duties, the complicated military positions are banned, everything is simplified, except for the Imperial Dragon Guard, the rest of the forbidden army is the chief general, awarded the rank of general, the left and right commanders, changed to the left and right generals, the head of the tenth army is changed to a general, the battalion is changed to a captain, and the head of the capital is still the head of the capital......

There are two generals and ten captains from all walks of life.

Each province has soldiers and horses, and there are two captains.

The soldiers and horses of each county shall not have official positions, but shall be dispatched, and the county lieutenants shall be in charge ......"

Kou Ji said very general in terms of martial arts, but Lu Yijian and the others generally knew what Kou Ji meant.

For example, the position of a general, it does not mean that a separate official position is listed, the imperial court has a corresponding official position, the general position, respectively, there are the auxiliary generals of the second grade, the general of the Zhenguo, the general of Huaihua of the third grade, and the champion general.

In the past, such official positions were only added to the ranks, but Kou Ji only turned the additions into real positions.

The general will list a few specific grades, and it will definitely be set according to the existing grades of the imperial court.

Left and right generals, generals, captains, etc., the imperial court also has corresponding official positions.

Except for the left and right generals, the rest are all dismissed.

Kou Ji is tantamount to abandoning cumbersome practical jobs and directly employing simple casual jobs.

The biggest benefit of this is that the titles of military attachés at all levels have become clearer, and the imperial court has thus saved a lot of money on cumbersome official positions.

After Wang Zeng heard this, he wrote it down.

Apparently he was very satisfied with the military system proposed by Koji.

Wang Zeng's attitude is very simple, as long as it can help the court save money, he agrees with it, and he thinks it is good.

After everyone had finished writing his words, Kou Ji continued: "In terms of recruitment, the military department will cooperate with the local yamen to jointly recruit troops, and the Privy Council will distribute them. ”

In the past, the imperial court was very casual in recruiting soldiers.

During the war, the imperial court would issue documents for the local yamen to recruit troops, and then distribute them nearby.

At the same time, when the armies are fighting, in order to make up the number of troops in time, they will also set up a school field to recruit troops, and some supervisors and pacification envoys can also recruit troops when necessary.

Some of them were simply drawn from other soldiers.

Others directly took prisoners and stabbed prisoners into the army.

In short, there were too many ways to recruit troops in the Great Song Dynasty, and the feudal officials such as the pacification envoy could draw soldiers and horses from other armies, which led to a very chaotic number of soldiers and horses in each army, which was also one of the reasons why the generals in the army dared to drink the blood of soldiers recklessly.

As long as someone helps issue an order, or someone endorses it, then the soldiers and horses under the rule of each army can be in their own camp today, and they can be in someone else's camp tomorrow.

Or there are only a few thousand men in the army, but they ask the court for tens of thousands of people.

The soldiers only receive a military salary, but the generals who lead the troops can get more benefits from this.

Some people in the army with backgrounds have made a fuss about this matter.

After Kou Ji finished talking about the recruitment method, he didn't speak again.

Lu Yijian and the others were slightly stunned.

Lu Yijian rubbed his eyebrows, stared at Kou Ji and said, "What else?" ”

Kou Ji said so much, he was also tired, and when he heard Lu Yijian's words, he said with a smile: "There is also the number of years of service in the soldiers and horses. ”

Speaking of this, Ko Ji paused for a moment and sighed: "We can't let the soldiers and horses die in the barracks anymore, that would be too cruel. Since they shed blood for my Great Song, they should not continue to shed tears.

When I was in the Northwest, I saw a battalion of veterans, a battalion of gray hair.

A lonely city for thousands of miles, full of white-haired soldiers.

Lu Xiang should have heard this allusion. ”

When Kou Ji mentioned 'a lonely city of thousands of miles, full of white-haired soldiers', the expressions of everyone present became a lot more solemn.

Lu Yijian sighed: "The old man naturally knows that there is a lonely city for thousands of miles, full of white-haired soldiers, and it is the story of Guo Xin, the nephew of Guo Ziyi, who was ordered by Tang Zhongshu. When Guo Xin was young, he went to Anxi to serve in the army. Civil strife broke out in the Tang Dynasty, and Guo Xin's Anxi Army lost contact with the Tang court.

He led his subordinates and horses to guard Anxi for more than ten years, and it was not until the civil strife in the Tang court was pacified that he got in touch with the Tang court.

At that time, the Tang court was already strong and strong, so it couldn't give Guo Xin any help, and he didn't recall him, but only gave Guo Xin the title of the king of Wuwei County, and promoted his soldiers to seven or eight ranks.

But it didn't help him or his men.

But even so, he and his soldiers were still happy and still helped the Tang court guard Anxi.

But once again, they lost contact with the Tang court.

This loss of contact is the eternal secret.

They have been guarding Anxi for forty-two years, and the young men of the past have also become gray-haired and decrepit.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, in forty-two years of war, only a few thousand remained.

In their last battle, they faced an army of 100,000 Tibetans.

After that battle, they all died in Anxi, and none of them survived. ”

In the end, Lu Yijian was very sad, and he was even reluctant to describe the tragic scene.

Kou Ji took a deep breath and said heavily: "Their heroism deserves to be remembered forever by the men of my Han family, but their stories can't happen."

We have the ability to let the gray hair in the army return to their hometowns and enjoy their old age in peace, so we must let them return to their hometowns to enjoy their old age in peace.

I know that even if they have gray hair, they will not regret when they rush to the battlefield to bathe the enemy in blood.

They have no regrets because they are not ashamed.

But if we let their stories reappear, we will be ashamed of them, and we will be ashamed of all the soldiers in the world.

Therefore, I can't watch the soldiers in the army die in the camp.

I can't watch them gray-haired, and I have to shed the last drop of blood for my Great Song.

This blood will be shed, and we will shed it, not them.

Not only do I want to set a number of years for them to serve, but I also want them to return to their hometowns when they have the strength to spare, let them marry and have children, and let them live the rest of their lives in abundance.

They deserve such favor from the imperial court, right?

Lu Gong? ”

"Ten years, then! Forbidden soldiers, enlisted in the army for ten years! After ten years, if he is willing to stay in the army, he will continue to stay in the army, and I will allow him to marry a wife in the army, and perhaps he will move his family to his side.

Soldiers who have returned home should be added to the third shift, or they should be assigned to the barracks of the yamen at all levels.

The court helped them get married.

If no one is willing to marry, I will bring someone to help them rob them.

This robber, Li Yuanhao did it, Yelu Longxu did it, and I also did it.

For my great Song Zhongyong, I am willing to be a robber once! ”

Zhao Zhen was infected by the words of Lu Yijian and Kou Ji, and the benevolence in his heart was troubled, and he opened his mouth to say these words.

In fact, when Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen first discussed, the time limit was fifteen years.

Zhao Zhen personally overturned the number of years set by him and Kou Ji.

Kou Ji thought about it for a moment, and did not refute Zhao Zhen's words.

If it had been before, he would naturally not approve of Zhao Zhen's proposal.

Because most of the soldiers were teenagers when they entered the camp, ten years later, it was when they were the most experienced and able to fight, and it was not of much benefit to the Great Song Dynasty to let them go home early.

But it's different now.

Muskets and artillery he made.

With muskets and artillery, soldiers could save a long time of martial arts training after entering the camp.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the officers and men will not decline sharply because they are discharged from the army early.

More importantly, Zhao Zhen sent the retired soldiers to the yamen at all levels to serve as garrison soldiers and horses, which is a bit of a hidden soldier for the people.

When it's really time for them to fight, they can be quickly assembled.

Therefore, Zhao Zhen's proposal is not good, Kou Ji can barely accept it.

Just because Koji can accept it doesn't mean that others can accept it.

Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng heard Zhao Zhen say that he was going to be a robber, and his jaw almost didn't drop.
