Chapter 432: Convocation Order

Yang Congyi's faintly fluttering mind immediately stabilized.

I immediately blamed myself in my heart, he came to do things, not just to be an official, if he was obsessed with being an official at this time, I was afraid that he would immediately lose the fighting spirit to move forward.

"You go find some pen, ink, paper, and inkstone first."

"Yes, sir."

Li Hu left in response.

Yang Congyi got up, it should be time to work hard, how can he have that comfortable mind.

As his mind turned, he moved aside the chair behind him, which was very comfortable to sit on, and took an ordinary chair and placed it behind the bookcase.

Comfort often starts with daily sitting and lying, if you feel comfortable, who will easily come out of comfort?

Li Hu quickly found the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that Yang Congyi needed, and then stood aside and waited.

Yang Congyi has already thought a lot about the selection of generals, how to start and how to implement, he has a general idea.

So he immediately began to write a convocation order for the selection of generals, and soon after it was to be sent to the forbidden army stationed in various places outside Lin'an.

There is a lot of information to be conveyed in the summoning order, first of all, to explain the significance of the selection of generals, then to talk about the honors and benefits that will be given after being selected, and then to write down the qualifications required to lead the generals, and what kind of preparations the commanders and soldiers who are to be elected need to be made, and finally to tell them the place of gathering, the requirements for marching discipline, rewards and punishments, and the deadline for reaching the selection camp.

In order to write the convening order simply and clearly, and those rough people in the army can understand it at a glance, Yang Congyi spent a lot of effort, after all, it is really not easy to fully express so much information in a single convening order.

After Yang Congyi finished writing, read it carefully several times, and after confirming that there was no problem, he handed it over to Li Hu.

"Captain Li, you take a look at this summoning order first."

"Yes, sir."

Li Hu took the last revised summoning order and read it word by word.

A quarter of an hour later, Yang Congyi asked, "Do you have any questions?" ”

Li Hu frowned and asked, "My lord, if the forbidden army where the last general belongs has several generals and schools with qualifications, what should I do?" ”

Yang Congyi said: "Look at how it is written in the convening order, it is very clear that each forbidden army can only have one team to participate in the selection of generals, one general and one commander soldiers, as for how they choose themselves, who to send to participate is their internal affairs, and they have to deal with it themselves." It is also written in the convening order that after the election is over, the whole army will be punished, including the commander and commander. With this clause, they can ensure that they themselves send the best generals, otherwise the whole army will be punished. ”

Li Hu said: "My lord, isn't this a bit complicated, what if they are afraid that the performance is too bad and no one comes?" ”

Yang Congyi said: "There are more than forty forbidden armies in the front division of the palace, and the generals who want to get ahead will not come, after all, this is an opportunity, and there is a chance to be summoned by the emperor, what a great honor it is!" How could it not come. ”

Li Hu said: "What if the commanders and commanders of the various armies get in the way and don't send people to participate?" ”

Yang Congyi was slightly stunned, will this really happen?

So I couldn't help asking: "It's a good thing to choose, why should they get in the way?" ”

Li Hu said in a low voice: "My lord doesn't know, our selection of generals is only for young generals, and the benefits are also given to young people, and it has nothing to do with those commanders and commanders, not only do they have to pay for food, grass and salaries, but if they don't perform well, they will be affected, adults think about whether they are willing." ”

Yang Congyi was shocked, he really didn't expect this question, all he was thinking about was the young generals, telling them what the benefits of participating in the election would be, as long as they are aspiring young people, who doesn't want to seize this opportunity to fight and get ahead, but what about those commanders and leaders? What's in it for them? There is really no benefit in the slightest, except for adding trouble and wasting money that originally belonged to them, so why should they support it?

Tell them that the election will be related to the future of the Great Song Dynasty and the Jiangshan Society? If they would take care of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, they would not flee from the battle when they started a war, but in fact, once a war was fought, not many generals were willing to rush forward, because most of them wanted to save their lives, reunite with their wives and children, and enjoy a comfortable life.

With Song Yilai, I don't know how many battles have been fought, and there are very few armies that can really advance and retreat with life and death.

The entire army of the Southern Song Dynasty, since the Song and Jin peace discussions ten years ago, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Liu Qi and other generals died and retreated, and the people in the army were scattered, all of them only cared about making money through various methods, and only cared about their own safety and enjoyment.

Now the commanders and commanders of all armies are all old men in the army, who has not experienced the battle with the Jin State more than ten or twenty years ago, who does not know the reputation of those generals, and who does not know their fate and ending?

At this time, those leaders and rulers may care about their own interests, what does the country and the people have to do with them? The affairs of the family and the country are considered by the people of the imperial court, and all they have to do is to put down their swords and guns and enjoy peace.

Therefore, once they do more things without their benefit, but have to take money and food from their pockets, such a huge cost of election event, I am afraid that few people really support it.

Yang Congyi had to carefully consider this issue, and the idea of the commander and commander of various armies had to be taken into account.

"Other than that, what other questions?"

Li Hu said: "My lord, it is said here that to participate in the election of generals, it must be a full command of soldiers, but as far as the last general knows, it is impossible to be full in each army, no matter what kind of army, including the elite forbidden army, where can they find the full commanders, if several commanders and troops are together enough to command the full number of commanders, then how to distribute the rewards for the success of the selection?" What if there is a contradiction between the various commanders and the combined forces make trouble? ”

"The first question, to win a good ranking, the reward is naturally distributed to the soldiers who participate in the selection of generals, the second question, if there are soldiers who make trouble, the commander of the army can choose to enforce military discipline, if the military discipline is lax, can not achieve good results, the whole army will be punished. The question of soldiers and generals is considered by each army for itself, whether the selection of generals is not involved, the rewards for good performance, the punishment for poor performance, and how to behave are all up to them. ”

Li Hu looked at the summoning order and thought about it again, and said: "The marching route is set by yourself, some garrisons are far away from Wuzhou, what if you run to the wrong place?" There is also no one to eat and drink on the march, this is too difficult for the garrison, let them solve it themselves, it is estimated that something will happen. ”

Yang Congyi said: "When marching to fight, if you can't even find the location of the enemy, then what kind of battle are they fighting, they run wrong, they miss the deadline, no wonder others, they know that they want to go to Wuzhou, they don't set the marching route in advance, and they can only blame themselves if they run wrong." As for the issue of eating and drinking on the road, of course, they also need to plan and prepare in advance, and if they violate military discipline on the march due to insufficient preparation of food and grass, the punishment for them is to be eliminated directly, and they are not allowed to continue to participate in the selection of generals. ”

Seeing that Li Hu could understand the convening order and couldn't ask any decent questions, Yang Congyi withdrew the convening order, and some places still had to be changed so that the selection of generals could be carried out smoothly.

The revised convening order has added an implicit reward for the forbidden army participating in the selection of generals, and the forbidden army participating in the selection of generals will be subsidized by the selection of generals by the division of 5,000 yuan, as long as they arrive at the selection camp and officially participate in the selection of generals, they will be issued to each army selection subsidy.

The 5,000 yuan is at the disposal of each forbidden army itself, to put it bluntly, it is given to the commanders or commanders of the various armies, although the money is not a lot, but it is also their money for many years, for the 5,000 yuan, it is worth spending some effort, after all, who will not get along with the money?

With this article, we should be able to solve the problem of insufficient motivation for the commanders and commanders of various armed forces to participate in the selection of generals.

After the revision was completed and looked at it several times, and there was no problem, Yang Congyi took the transcripted summoning order and went to meet the commander of the capital.

The matter of selecting the generals, although it is handled by Yang Congyi specifically, is also in charge of him, but after all, this is a major event related to the future of the palace and the Great Song Dynasty, as the commander and the general of the general department, he must participate in the decision-making of major matters, and he must also know about small things, after all, Yang Congyi is a newcomer, and the lower the posture, the better, how can it be said that let him be the master, he will really have full power to call the shots.

Yang Cunzhong was very surprised when he received the summoning order, and praised Yang Congyi for his quick and clean work.

After carefully reading the content of the convening order, my heart was warm, and I was very pleased, and I instantly felt that I was very accurate in seeing people, and I was entrusted with the right person.

What seems to be missing from the complete charter, he made some additions in the convening order, which immediately made it possible for the entire charter to be implemented, and the provisions and rewards and punishments in the convening order are all in line with the implicit expression of the charter.

Looking at the convening order, although Yang Cunzhong didn't ask anyone, he could already be sure that the entire charter was written by Yang Congyi, otherwise he would not have made such a suitable supplement to the charter.

Yang Cunzhong took the convening order, and he was very happy in his heart, the young man is really more reliable and easy to use than the old guy, and it seems that the matter of selecting the general can be assured.

He immediately praised the convening order written by Yang Congyi, and even praised it with the charter. Subsequently, however, he made his own recommendations on the convening order.

He thought that there must be brave men under the heavy reward, since it was to subsidize the reward and encourage all armies to actively participate in the selection of generals, then he could give more subsidies, give enough money at one time, and adjust the subsidy from 5,000 to 10,000, and if it exceeded the budget of the selection of generals, he would find a way to ask the imperial court for it.

With this remark, Yang Congyi is naturally happy, and if there are more subsidies, the enthusiasm of all armies to participate will inevitably be higher, and the quality of the generals and soldiers who come to participate in the selection of generals will also be better.

He gladly accepted the suggestion of the commander of the capital and changed the subsidy of 5,000 guan to 10,000.

Except for the subsidy, Yang Cunzhong did not make any other suggestions, and all the contents of the convening order were agreed to, and they were all according to Yang Congyi's intentions.

After Yang Congyi went back to revise, he ordered Li Hu to find a scribe to transcribe more than 40 copies of the special documents of the front division of the palace, stamped the seal of the selected general division and the front secretary of the palace, and then went to the Privy Council to approve the red seal, sealed properly, and the forbidden army soldiers were distributed to the forbidden troops stationed in various places through the post station.
