The Great Song Dynasty eliminated almost all of the Xiang army, but there were still more than one million troops and nearly two million troops. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThere are 800,000 forbidden troops in the capital area alone.

These 800,000 yuan did not all belong to the jurisdiction of Gao Yu, the Taiwei of the Sanya, at least 100,000 of them belonged to the jurisdiction of the Nanya, which managed the security of the capital on a day-to-day basis, and was under the management and command of the royal guard, the founding noble.

The Beijing army is all young and strong men selected from all over the country, and they are at least not lacking in strength, and they should be the strongest army of the country and the last steel defense line of national defense, but they were scrapped by Gao Yu and others, and they have nothing to do.

There are thousands of generals in the Beijing army, most of them have some real skills, ride inferior horses, shoot arrows, look full of spirit and bravery, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are thousands of generals, but most of them occupy positions in vain and waste national wealth, rarely train the army, the only thing that must be done well is to obey the call of powerful bosses such as Gao Yu at any time, and some officers are idle and have nothing to do. Like Zhao Yue, when Chen Liqing, the father of Chen Liqing, a troublesome little girl who had a headache when he saw it, was an officer in the Beijing army, he only appeared when he received money and food every month, and almost no one cared about it at ordinary times, so that he had left the capital for a long time, and no one came to receive money and food. It can be seen from this that the discipline of the Beijing army has been abandoned to what extent, and it is light to say that it is full of loopholes. How can such a defense of the capital be tough and difficult to break, that is, there are many soldiers who can scare the gangsters who can't make a climate.

The Great Song bureaucracy was the most bloated of all dynasties, with an astonishingly inefficient public service, unclear terms of reference, and so many and complex checks that even the emperor himself could not figure out the doorway. If you are an official of the Great Song Dynasty, if you don't mix for a few years or ten years first, you won't be able to figure out what to do with your work. Officials are lazy, inactive, chaotic/acting, and beneficial things, and suddenly many officials pour out, this can interfere, and that one has the right to participate; It's not profitable, you push me, I push him. You are here to do something with a certain functional department, if you don't know much about the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, you often can't figure out who to deal with this matter. Something happened, he had to take responsibility, and no one admitted that he had anything to do with him. These are all perfectly normal.

There is a joke that there was a leader of craftsmen under the official command of the Great Song Dynasty who went to apply for a nail and went to the direct leader of the general to approve it.

The leader said that this matter is not under my control, and I don't have the authority to approve it. You go to that other person.

I found that other person, that person didn't go to work, it is said that I haven't seen anyone for a long time, and I don't know if he was addicted to drinking flowers and wine and couldn't get up every day, or he died early, but the case was not closed, and the yamen didn't know, that person's family was still receiving money and food in the name of that person every month.

Someone pointed out the maze and said, "Whoever can take care of this matter."

The craftsman hurried to find it, fortunately the official was there, explained for a long time, begged for a long time, the official put down the teacup and said that he was off work, this matter is not in a hurry, and he will talk about it tomorrow.

The next day, the man asked for leave and did not come.

A few days later, the official finally showed up, but forgot about it. The craftsman had to explain the plea again. The official said slowly, saying that he remembered or understood the reason for the craftsman's statement, and said that this matter is very complicated, you don't understand, this needs to be agreed with the leaders of other competent departments, and you can't be in a hurry.

I filled out the application form first, and after a few days passed, there was no movement, and the craftsman hurriedly used nails and ran to ask for the results.

The official said that he had transferred the application to whoever he was, and it was not the official's business, so you should go to him.

The craftsman hurried to find it. Then who was confused for a long time, and finally patted his head and said that your application form was unqualified, and you have to go back and start again.

In fact, he lost the watch somewhere.

The craftsman had no choice but to go back and fill it in again, and then wait to go to the other person.

I did not lose the watch this time.

A few days later, when I went to find it, who said that this matter is not something I can say, and I have to coordinate. Go to whomever you want, and I will already give it to him. The craftsman had to continue to look for ....... and coordinate with whom, continue to turn around, and look for .......

I finally completed the procedure in this department, and the list was handed over to the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, and then I waited to go through the procedure and took the approved list to get the nail.

Half a year later, the Ministry of Industry came to notify me and said that it was approved, so you can go and get the list.

The craftsman jokingly asked the official of the Ministry of Works, "You can come and inform me of the list of a nail in one piece, can't you bring the list directly?" ”

The officer replied very seriously: "Do you know the rules?" That's not my business. ”

The craftsman playfully asked, "Okay, that's not your business." So the villain asks for advice, this list has been approved, who should apply to get this nail from? ”

The clerk took it for granted, but in fact he said indifferently: "Of course, I applied to the leader in charge of this matter." You don't understand this, and you still ask me? It's a shame that you're still the head of the artisans, and you've been here for so long. ”

The craftsman was not annoyed, and nodded with a smile: "You are really right. That's the reason. ”

Then, he ran around every day to get the nail, looking for the official in charge who would allow him to get it. Three years later, I finally got this interesting nail. After so long, the application list is about to rot.

The craftsman was very happy, not because he finally got the nails, which were no longer needed, but because he didn't have to work for three years, but he still received his salary, and he lived a leisurely and happy life.

The sluggishness and slowness of the efficiency of the Great Song Dynasty's public affairs can be described as the world's highest, unprecedented. Even if it is rotten thoroughly, dragging China not to advance but retreating, and the Manchu slave braided dynasty that has pitted the Chinese miserably, there is no such low office efficiency.

When it came to replenishing the Zizhou officers, the stale and sluggish office efficiency of the Great Song Dynasty showed the tip of the iceberg. Because there were no high-ranking officers of the Beijing army who were willing to take the initiative to apply to be the soldiers and horses in that dangerous place, it was up to the competent authorities to select the right people from among the many officers.

The Dongtai privy envoy acted quickly and instructed: The matter should be handed over to the Yamen of the Ministry of War for speed.

The Yamen Shangshu of the Ministry of War also acted very quickly, and the instructions were given to the relevant departments to hurry up and handle it.

This sentence is very normal 'relevant departments', and it is troublesome. Generals are transferred from the Beijing army, and the functional departments of the military department itself, the military department, the relevant functional departments of Gao Yuna, the three yatai lieutenants' mansions, and the functional departments of the Nanya forbidden army, can be managed, but they don't care or say that they need to reach a consensus.

However, Gao Yu Niu is very blistered and does not take the military department seriously.

The military department of the Great Song Dynasty is indeed a signboard yamen, with a high level and a large shelf, but it has no real power, and it seems that everything involving the army is under its control, and in fact it does not count anything, it is a coordination department, and to put it bluntly, if there is trouble in the military, it can be pushed to the military department. The military department is lowly and begging for help, specializing in troublesome and wiping the buttocks, and is usually equivalent to an army logistics support department at most.

Gao Yu, the emperor's super favorite, is indeed qualified not to be a bird soldier. He, a rising star in the military circles, also has no deal with the founding heroes and generals who contain and divide his military power. It is impossible to let go of the noble and arrogant figure, and compromise and retreat with the noble and unrelated people and things.

That's interesting.

The military department is optimistic about a certain officer in the southern yazhong. The head of the Nanya was very happy and said okay. But Gao Yu frowned and disagreed. He can take care of that, too. If you don't agree, you can't pull it.

All right.

The military department also transferred the subordinate officers to which Gao Yu belonged. Gao Yu is also very happy. But Nanya's side can also take care of this matter, and he doesn't agree.

…….

Sun Fu Sun Zhizhou fought a battle, was seriously injured by an arrow and injured his shoulder blade, and escaped back to Fucheng to recuperate.

He is really dedicated, he is still summing up lessons and lessons while recuperating from his injuries, he is very puzzled, and he keeps pondering a question: Why can Zhao Gonglian quickly reorganize the overwhelmed army of ruffians into a strong army that even the Liao army cannot defeat? I can't?

As a civil official, the governor of a state, like Zhao Gonglian, put down the shelf, did not hesitate to be with Qiu Ba, personally participated in the training, trained the army hard and seriously, trained the elite soldiers, and I also went into battle in person, but I couldn't even defeat the bandit rebels, the battlefield was a little unexpected, and it was easily defeated, why is this?

I haven't heard that Zhao Gonglian has any tricks for governing the army that mortals can't think of?

Training and governing the army, aren't the left and right those things that the ancestors summed up earlier?

If he wants to break his head, he won't understand that Zhao Gonglian trained the soldiers, first of all, he worked the physical and mental strength of the soldiers, and engaged in fairness, so that the soldiers could eat strongly, have dignity and hope. In other words, Zhao Gonglian gave the soldiers warmth and strong support.

Warmth and solidity are what everyone needs most, especially in the backward and unjust feudal period.

Therefore, the soldiers trusted Zhao Gonglian, and felt that if they worked hard to obey the words of the Hou Ye and work hard to serve the Hou Ye, they could rely on the Hou Ye, and for the family to live a good life promised by the Hou Ye, and for the sake of being a soldier to fight the war worthwhile, they were willing to fight desperately.

Only by strengthening the military quality and effective combat methods, and constantly running in small-scale friction and actual combat with the Liao army can we accumulate confidence and experience in winning battles, so as to form a prototype of a new type of truly strong army that is not easy to defeat and will not easily collapse and flee without the command of important generals.

Sun Fu, a traditional feudal bureaucratic and scholar, could not give fairness and dignity to the soldiers in the first place.

He himself despised martial artists from the bottom of his bones, and he didn't pay attention to the generals, and regarded him as a lackey and thug of civilian officials, how could he think of giving dignity and warmth to ordinary soldiers;

Secondly, the so-called poetry and calligraphy talents of the sages who are full of sage words and righteousness, grasping the economy, and getting rid of poverty and curing the rich are almost black-eyed, and it is not bad to be able to maintain the peace of mind of the local people and carry out the development of the spontaneous natural small-scale peasant economy, and it is not bad to be able to play the efficient development of the new economy under the rule, and it is impossible to provide strong financial and material resources to provide strong logistical support for the army, still less to give the army and their families a good life and a new way out, and cannot bring practical benefits and hope to the soldiers and soldiers. Officers and men at all levels continued to deduct their salaries, did not eat well, and were physically deficient, unable to support high-intensity training and warfare. The family continues to be deprived of light and is poor and miserable. died in battle, and the already small pension had to be deducted three or five times, and one life was only exchanged for a few eldest sons, and it was too worthless to die.

In short, how can a group of weak troops, without military spirit, without the desire to fight, and without the will to fight, become truly strong?

The soldiers did not trust or rely on Sun Fu, how could they be willing to fight to the death for Sun Fu?

The decline of the Western Army is also the main reason for this.

The door decays. The officers and men of the Western Army no longer feel that it is worthwhile to fight hard, and they have no motivation and passion.

Sun Fu was puzzled, but gritted his teeth and vowed to take revenge, live up to the emperor's high expectations, and eradicate the rebels in Snake Horn Ridge.

He can't wait to replenish and retrain the army immediately before going to clear it.

In addition, the army was defeated, the casualties were not light, the bloodshed was fruitless, the long-awaited reward was disappointed, the soldiers were depressed and irritable, there was a lack of competent officials, and there was a danger of getting out of control. It was necessary to quickly bring in the capital supervisor and supporting officers to control the army.

But looking left and right, the officers needed are nowhere to be seen.

He has been an official in Beijing for many years, and he also knows that the official affairs of the Great Song Dynasty are seriously procrastinated, so he has to repeatedly send people to the capital to inquire and urge, but the effect is almost none.

In the end, Sun Fu was angry and sent someone to the military department to threaten: "If you don't send any more people who are lacking, don't blame Emperor Shen Yier for neglecting his duties and despising state affairs." ”

The head of the functional department of the military department was very aggrieved and said that he was really trying his best to do it. But this matter is not up to him, it will come, and he shirks the responsibility on behalf of his own leaders, and it doesn't count if he says that the secretary of the military department says. There are many people who can take care of it. If you love ginseng, just participate casually.

However, the people who can manage, such as Gao Yu, have enough fighting spirit, and this matter has finally been solved.

An officer named Han Cui, who was drunk and played bull B and offended Shangguan, was finally transferred to serve as the supervisor of soldiers and horses at the end of Song Jiang's rectification of Shejiaoling. Other officers who need to be supplemented have also come over, and more than 20 have become generals and other generals of the Zizhou Army, all of whom are roles that no one cares about and no one pays attention to.

After Han Cui and other officers arrived, they disagreed with Sun Fu's active plan to encircle and suppress Shejiaoling, and said in his heart: "You have been defeated once, and it should be very clear that it is impossible for the Zizhou army to break the cottage and exterminate the rebel bandits." If you want to achieve the goal, at least it is possible to work together in Zi and Bo Erzhou. ”

They passively carried out the task of training troops and strengthening the army, and they were used to being comfortable and casual in the capital, so how could they be willing to set an example and endure that hardship, and their eyes were staring at the military salary. Officers and men who have suffered a defeat or loss are not willing to endure hardships and training before going to war and risk.

As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break your muscles and bones. What's more, in this era of backward nutrition and medical technology. Sun Fu's shoulder injury has not been healed, and he can no longer personally lead the team to train like last time. If the army can't take care of the whole training, it will be yellow.

Zhao Yue discussed with Gongsun Sheng some things about the situation in Qingzhou and Erlong Mountain. Gongsun Sheng took Dai Xiuming back to the cottage.

Huang Gai has won a real famous doctor, and he is still a famous doctor who can participate in the war with the army, his temperament and actions are chivalrous and refreshing, and he is very happy with his spleen and stomach.

Now there is no need to worry about the brothers on the mountain, who are seriously ill and strangely ill, and there is no one to treat them. It can be said that it solves a big problem that is extremely annoying and helpless.

Good things come in pairs.

Chao Gai surprises one after another, just with the help of a famous doctor, and in a blink of an eye received a letter from Song Jiang's virtuous brother, the soldiers and horses of Shejiaoling and the many heroes recruited by Song Jiang are finally coming, and the letter does not want the Erlongshan people to answer, Song Jiang wants to lead the team to wear the territory of the Zizhou army whose strength and confidence have been lost, bypass the area where the Qingzhou army is convenient to intercept halfway, and then turn into Qingzhou, and go straight to Erlongshan Juyi.
