After thinking for a while, Xu Ping said, "Uncle, this kind of thing is extremely difficult to deal with. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info it is definitely not okay to leave it alone, because I don't know how many people die because of gambling, which will cause turmoil in the hearts of the military. It is not possible to manage it too quickly and strictly, the situation below is unknown, once the people and dogs who are investigated jump over the wall in a hurry, the army mutinies, and it cannot be cleaned up. Therefore, this matter needs to be carefully planned and succeeded in one fell swoop. According to the nephew, it is best to send a confidant to secretly investigate first, and when the time comes, he will severely defeat a group of gamblers. The key to this matter is not to involve the release of money, just prohibit gambling, and the gambling ban will naturally be gone. ”

Li Yonghe nodded: "This is also a way, but it is not easy to arrange manpower." They gamble, all in the barracks, and they can't make up for it at all. Another one, even if you grasp the handle, it's not easy to take people. ”

"It's best to get accurate information, and it's not appropriate to let others sue and take people, and Uncle is involved."

Li Yonghe nodded, but said, "I understand, think about it again and see if there is a proper way." ”

Theoretically, the transfer of a soldier must be ordered by the Privy Council and approved by the emperor. It is good to say that people who have a lot of authority in the army can say that once they have no prestige, it will be difficult to arrest people. The sergeants of the first battalion live and train together all day and night, and when they go to the barracks to arrest people, even the top bosses have to weigh them carefully.

Xu Ping said: "Uncle, according to the little nephew, if there is definite news, you can let Duyu Hou Fang Rong arrest it." ”

Li Yonghe's eyes lit up when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he nodded.

After a few more gossips, seeing that it was not early, Li Yonghe stood up and said goodbye, and said to Xu Ping: "Da Lang, you keep this matter in mind, and also help me think of a way to do it once and for all." ”

Sending Li Yonghe out of the door, Xu Ping returned to the living room and sat alone in a daze. When I opened a bank, I told everyone not to lend money to private people, because there will be endless troubles. Unexpectedly, in less than a year, this precept was broken, and according to what Li He said, it reached a very serious point.

What is the concept of gambling and lending in the military? In the final analysis, this is the money earned by low-level officers and ordinary non-commissioned officers. Their monthly rice and money are only enough to feed their families, and they are burdened with gambling debts, and it is difficult for their families to support them. This kind of money can't be delayed for a moment, and if you want to survive, you can only sell your wife and daughter.

The dignified Song Dynasty forbidden army, in the peaceful years, got the wives and daughters of the soldiers leaning on the door to laugh, it was really a shame.

Knowing that it won't work like this, but Xu Ping has no choice, the forbidden army is a rotten hedgehog with nowhere to speak, he can only see but not touch. According to the current military system, no matter what is done to the forbidden army, there is a lack of a grip. If the action is big, it is easy to cause turmoil in the morale of the military, and according to the habit passed down from five generations, it is not a great thing to operate the knife. If the action is small, the up and down will not pay attention to you at all. Fearing that the forbidden army would rebel, the imperial court would not allow any policy to stimulate them.

Xiuxiu came out of it with the child in her arms and said to Xu Ping: "It's cold, and I don't know how to make a charcoal fire." ”

Xu Ping said: "The child is still young, he can't smell the smell of fireworks, and he can't make fires." It's too cold outside, you just stay in the back room with your eldest brother, don't go out and walk around, it's not a trivial matter to provoke the cold. ”

Xiuxiu patted the child and said to Xu Ping: "It's not early, you can rest too, don't sit outside." ”

Xu Ping agreed and asked Xiuxiu to take the child back to the back room first. This small house is old, and it is full of wood, which is not easy to remodel. Only the back room is covered with a fire channel, and the charcoal is burned outside, which makes people feel that it is not cold, and there is nothing to be done in the other rooms. The child is only two or three months old, and he does not dare to burn coal, and even charcoal is not lit in the house.

Let Xiuxiu go back, Xu Ping sat in the living room, thinking about Li Yonghe, and only felt a splitting headache.

Many things, it is a feeling not to face them, and it is a feeling to really face them.

Xu Ping has been an official for many years, and he is very handy with both politics and economy in this era, but the forbidden army makes him feel powerless. If it is in the locality, the power of the Economic Strategy Division, the Metropolitan Deployment Division, etc., is concentrated and managed by the Forbidden Army, and the Forbidden Army in the capital cannot be thought of.

Why do you insist on compiling the military system of the dynasty? It was Xu Ping who felt that the current military system of the forbidden army was too strange, and he wanted to take the opportunity of compiling the military system of the dynasty to point out a different direction and carry out reforms.

In the late Tang Dynasty, Huangchao rebelled, and took the opportunity of suppression to annex each other, forming the prototype of the later five dynasties. At that time, Zhu Wen occupied Bianzhou, Li Keyong occupied Hedong, and the two sides confronted each other. Zhu Wen destroyed the Tang Dynasty and became independent, it was for the Later Liang, and Li Keyong's descendants destroyed Zhu Wen for the Later Tang Dynasty, thus opening the chaotic five generations.

Li Keyong was born in the Shatuo tribe, which itself is a microcosm of the Huhua in North China in the Tang Dynasty. The Hu-Han dispute in the Tang Dynasty can be divided into two phases. From the fourth year of Zhenguan by the "Tian Khan" to the Anshi Rebellion, a large number of Hu people were supported by the government to enter North China, and many Han people became Hu, and the style of Hu people even became a fashion. After the Anshi Rebellion, the Han people began to change their attitude towards the Hu people, from the Hu people to the Hu people, and many Hu people moved to Hedong and Youyan and merged into a new Hu group. And this group is centered on the Shatuo clan and built by Li Keyong.

In addition to the earliest Zhu Wen's Houliang, three generations of the five dynasties are the Shatuo regime, and the remaining one is also based on the Shatuo armed group. Including the forbidden army that Zhao Kuangyin relied on to establish the Song Dynasty, it is also this foundation.

Xu Ping has always felt a strong Hu style from the forbidden army, and it is not without reason, this forbidden army was originally established on the basis of the military strength of the Hu people. After entering the Song Dynasty, due to various reasons, the forbidden army has not carried out major reforms, and this pattern has been maintained, as if it is parasitic on the Han regime of the Great Song Dynasty. And the strange thing is that since the Later Tang Dynasty, due to the rise of the Khitan and other ethnic groups in the north, the Shatuo people themselves have long considered themselves to be Han Chinese, and even other Hu ethnic groups also think so. The forbidden army is a monster with many factors mixed together, and there is disharmony everywhere.

Why does Wenchen look down on military generals? This is not only a civil and military dispute, but also a shadow of Hu-Han contradictions.

The military system of the forbidden army is not only different from the early Tang Dynasty, but also different from the previous Han and other dynasties, with a strong tribal ethnic Hu style. The command and management system is extremely rudimentary, even worse than that of the Khitan and other Hu regimes, which makes people scratch their heads.

At this time, the three yamen were in charge of all military and political affairs, but there were no subordinate officials, and each yamen only had thirty-nine public officials. Basically, every command is independent, and the affairs are always the commander-in-chief. It is impossible for those thirty-nine public officials to manage the affairs of the army, and they can't even handle the relevant documents, so their power can only sink.

Xu Ping felt that at this time, the forbidden army of each battalion was a small tribe, and these small tribes relied on extremely rudimentary organizational relationships to unite and form a huge forbidden army force. Who would dare to move such an organizational structure? The Hu regime on the grass beard kills and kills two heads in three days to change leaders, and it is an overriding political task to make the forbidden army stay honest.
