In the public hall of the Hebei Xuanfu Division, there was a sound of clanging scabbards colliding. In the entire hall, there were new army generals wearing narrow-sleeved robes, black leather boots, nine leather belts, and turbans. These warriors are now divided into old and new factions, each standing on the left and right of the hall, and there is a clear distinction.

The so-called old school is those traditional martial artists who have not studied in a new military school, which is somewhat rude and barbaric, but it is very favored by civilian officials and marshals. These rude martial artists may not read much, but they know the truth of being noble and martial, and there are not so many flowers in their stomachs, and it is easy to fiddle with.

And the so-called new school is a student from the martial arts palace system. They've read so much! Although the officer training system of the Song Dynasty was not as perfect as that of the Zhou State. However, the education standard of the Martial Arts Academy is not bad, and before the four-year class education, there is also a preparatory education ranging from one to two years. And most of the students who can enter the preparatory department of the martial arts hall are generals, menzi and military N generations, and most of them have received military education from their families. So they are all officers who have studied hard for more than ten years. And they read a lot more books than traditional Confucian scholars! They also learned the classics of Confucianism, and they also understood the new learning of positivism and rationalism. They memorized the traditional art of war, and the new military science copied from the Knight Academy was also compulsory. In addition, these people also boiled out their martial arts, immediately got off the horse, danced knives, guns and archery, and knew everything.

Such talents who are both civil and military, and who have learned from the old and the new, of course, think very highly of themselves, and look down on the old-school officers, nor on the Wenchen Shuai who was born in the imperial examination. The most hateful thing is that he still likes to compare with the new-style officers of the Zhou State.

The future and treatment of the new-style officers over there are excellent! Not only does it have a manor and status (citizen rank), but it is also easy to get promoted, and it is not uncommon to be a general in your thirties. After being transferred to the reserves, you can still find a good way out in officialdom.

At least one-third of Zhou's parliamentarians and senior political officials at all levels are senior officers in the reserve - this is not to be a vase! The Senate and the parliaments at all levels of the Zhou State were really powerful.

In addition, the kind of chartered trade chamber of commerce in Zhou that has a "murder and arson license" is also the way out for reserve officers, which is a place to grab a lot of money!

The officers of the Zhou State did not earn much when they were officially in service, but after they were transferred to the reserves, they had many opportunities to make a fortune.

Therefore, officers who do not have much money often apply for reserve service on their own in their thirties, and then go to the chartered trade association to find a job that pays well and can make money. Compared with corruption and bribery, this way to get rich is the right way. As a result, there was little corruption within the Zhou army – if he was expelled from the military for embezzlement and bribery, he would have no chance of becoming a parliamentarian, a political officer, or a chartered trader to make money.

In contrast, the new-style officers of the Song State were bitter. First of all, it is difficult to rise, and most of the new-style officers who graduated from the Martial Arts Palace are only with the rank of captain (unless there is an official body of Yin Supplement). And the change of lieutenant to officer should have been a matter of seniority for an officer from a professional class. However, because the conflict between the new and old factions in the officialdom is all-round, the ministers who came from the imperial examination often regard the new-style officers as outliers, and they make it difficult in every possible way when they are transferred to officials. Let the matter of turning an official body become like a fish leaping into the dragon gate!

At the same time, the military attachés of the Song Dynasty had a tradition of "going up and down quickly". When there are military merits to be fished, it is the same as flying, but once you make a mistake and you have no backstage to rely on, you will be easily pushed to the end.

Therefore, new-style officers tend to rise slowly and move quickly, and their prospects are far from being as good as they imagined. Gradually, it has affected the enrollment of the Martial Arts Palace...... As a last resort, Ji Yi and Zhang Shuye had no choice but to give the students and preparatory students of the Martial Arts Academy the full amount of the school captain's salary.

But on the issue of promoting officers of the New Army to be officers, Ji Yi and Zhang Shuye did not dare to overstep their authority - there was no way to give money to military academy students, and no one came. However, if you promote military cadets to be officers or give extra money, you will be suspected of forming a party in the army!

The bullet of the imperial history smashed over, and Ji Traitor had to walk around without eating.

However, the new-style officers have been mixed up for a long time, and they also have countermeasures. Their countermeasure is to open their mouths before the battle!

As soon as the so-called cannon goes off, there are 10,000 taels of gold!

Do you want us to send troops to fight? Then bring the official body first, and the official who usually presses and does not let him turn has to be brought to the master now.

Otherwise, we will break the tank and swear!

In addition to the officials, the money must also be sufficient! Everyone is poor to death, don't you get a handful of hairy battlefields?

The opening fee is a lump sum, the wartime salt vegetable fee is a lump sum, and the reserve fund for the reward must also be sufficient. Otherwise, there will be no money to give for the fight, and the gods will not be able to move.

In short, a group of wolf-like officers of the New Army have nothing to discuss at this time, and they have to eat and get enough first!

How many years have you been hungry, can you not give it?

Therefore, the generals who came today, regardless of the new school or the old school, all carried the account book - the old school led the troops and the new officers! How else would they command? How to train? The New Army of the Song Dynasty, like the Republican Army of the Zhou State, was an army that paid great attention to standardization and precision. Formations, formations, trenches, carriage forts, and artillery arrangements must all be carried out in accordance with regulations. It requires a lot of mathematical knowledge, and the old-school officers can't even understand the new formation diagram (drawn by Zhao Ji), and they can't draw it. How to command the troops?

Therefore, how to suppress it in ordinary times is one thing, but now it is impossible not to give a lot of rewards. Otherwise, the army would not have been able to go to the battlefield at all......

But how do the newcomers Zhang Jun, Liu Ziyu and Liu Zihui know this set?

didn't wait for Lu Huiqing and Yao Gu to come out, and when they saw the promotion list and various bills that were about to be submitted below, their scalps were a little numb.

"What? There are more than 300 of them...... How can there be such a thing? Before the battle was fought, he began to be promoted? ”

"It's too much money! One battalion costs 200,000 yuan...... Fifty battalions for ten million! That's too much! ”

"If you don't give, you can't fight? What are the rules? How can this be? It's so unbelievable! ”

When the adjutant generals present heard this, they all looked at each other. Originally, the officers of the Jiyi Division were also new, and they all asked for money and officials from the subordinates. How can there be a return ticket? If Ji Yisi and the new army officers below don't wear a pair of pants, how will they command in the future? Carry it on both sides!

The first general of Xihe, who made contributions in the Battle of Pingjiaozhi, was the head of the officers of the Hebei New Army, and of course he had to speak at this time.

"The three military aircraft, the battalion officers below work hard to lead the troops on weekdays, and it is not easy to change officers, so that many team leaders and battalion deputies who have led the troops for many years do not have an official body. Seeing that the army is about to be pulled out, the big guy doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, so why do you have to report the documents for transferring officials to Kaifeng Mansion, right? Otherwise, what morale does the big guy have?

Of course, money is even more indispensable! The official is going to be transferred to the official, and the following recruits are going to see the money! If you don't have money, you can't walk the road, so what else can you fight? ”

"200,000 for a battalion?" Zhang Jun looked at Qu Duan angrily, "There are only more than 900 people in a battalion, so you dare to ask for 200,000?" Thinking about money and going crazy, right? ”

"It's only more than 200 per person, what is enough?" Qu Duan shook his head, "And now the war is all about hardening the village, encircling the car fort, paying attention to longevity, and a big war can't be finished in a few months." During this period, there may be many camps and transfers, and each time you have to give a reward, and you have to give a reward once you go into battle...... Without 200,000 ready, which battalion will dare to take the soldiers and horses out? ”

Of course, Qu Duan's words make sense. It was the time when bastions, hard forts, car forts, artillery and heavy muskets (camel guns) were popular.

War mode is all about longevity!

It's nothing to fight a fortress for a few months, and to fight a car fort for a month.

Unless there is a generational gap between the two armies, or there is a clear mistake on the part of one side, it is simply impossible to distinguish the winner in the short term.

According to the "countermeasures" formulated by Yifang, the driver of Xuanfu in Hebei, the Song army's thinking on the battlefield in Hebei is also a long-lasting confrontation. Relying on hard villages, dumb battles, and fortresses, relying on dangerous places to slowly fight with the Zhou State.

Of course, this style of play is feasible, and with the combat effectiveness and equipment of the new army of the Song State, it is indeed difficult to fight against the Zhou army - Chebao and hard village are useless in offensive operations! They don't have enough firepower, and the cavalry doesn't have an advantage, so they can't let the pikemen charge against the opponent's shotguns, right?

Besides, if Mali is finished, who will the soldiers of the new army slaughter? Only by fighting can you ask for money and officials!

But Zhang Jun still felt that Qu Duan and the others were opening their mouths in the lion's mouth, and they didn't agree to report anything.

Just as the two sides were arguing, the sound of boots came from behind the screen. Then I heard the voice of Yao Gu, the commander of the Xuanfu Division: "What are you arguing about? Xuan Shuai has arrived! Stand on duty, don't be rude in front of the army! ”

It turned out that Lu Yihao was here!

These days, Lu Daxuanshuai has removed a group of new-style military officers and replaced them with civilian officials who know the soldiers, so he has a lot less trouble - the original military Jiyi represents the classmates below, and now the Jiyi is sheltering Lu Yihao, and the effect is naturally different.

However, that was peacetime, and now that the war is just around the corner, it is difficult to say whether these civilian officials can cope with it.

The generals and Jiyi at the bottom stood according to their ranks, and saw Lu Yihao walking into the public hall with a straight face. The generals and the witsons bowed one after another, but they were also a little respectful.

But Lu Yihao also knows that respect is superficial, and the game up and down is a good thing to deal with at the moment.

Otherwise, the army doesn't know when it will be ready to go to the battlefield?

Lu Yihao smiled faintly at the generals under his command, "Ladies and gentlemen, this official has just received an urgent report of the gold medal, and the eastern thief has crossed the Yellow River between Qingzhou City and Diaoyu Zhai Fortress with about 30,000 cavalry, and is currently building a camp on the west bank of the Yellow River, and approaching Qingzhou City with cavalry!"

Now is the time for the generals to kill the enemy! The Son of Heaven has raised a thousand days and spent countless amounts of people's fat and anointing, just for this moment! The generals should be sacred, afraid of military discipline, be cautious in their orders, and be diligent in their work!

As for rewarding the officer, the official will fight for you! ”
