When he arrived at the official hall of the military camp here, Zhang Kang, who was in charge of this place, got the news and hurried over.

After taking a seat, Xu Ping looked at Han Qi and said to Zhang Kang: "Han Jingluo is newly handsomely on the original road of Shuaijing, where there are few major generals and lack of generals. Taking advantage of the fact that there was nothing to do in the past two days, let him go to the new barracks to have a look, and after returning to Jingyuan Road, he would not be at a loss about the military and didn't know where to start. ”

Zhang Kang looked at Han Qi and saw that he had been calm, and he probably guessed Han Qi's thoughts in his heart. Zhang Kang was also born as a Jinshi, although he changed his military position, he still had a friendship with Wenchen in the same year, and he was no stranger to the controversy between the DPRK and China about the military system in Qinzhou. Moreover, Zhang Kang himself did not think much of Xu Ping's military reform at first, but as a subordinate, he understood that he had to implement it, and if he didn't understand it, he had to implement it. It wasn't until the last two big victories that he turned his head and looked at the military reform again and had a different view.

After thinking about it, Zhang Kang said: "If you want to familiarize Han Jingluo with military affairs, it is better to stay in the general camp over there for two days." This is all about the training of new recruits, what does it mean to be handsome all the way? Generals and colonels are the foundation of the army, what they are learning and how to do things on weekdays, Han Jing has a glimpse of it and is of great use. ”

Xu Ping nodded: "That's what I said, the soldiers are training, and they can't do it in a hurry." If you take a look at the school camp, you will have a general idea of the affairs of the army, and you will have an organization for doing things in the future. - Well, Nakashi, it's not a day or two, so you'll stay in the camp for two days. You have been in charge of military affairs for more than ten years, and it will be beneficial for you to manage the army on Jingyuan Road to take a look there. In the past, many generals in the forbidden army could not read and write, and had to rely on officials for daily affairs. And the commander of the army, who is not familiar with the affairs of the army, has to be manipulated by his subordinate generals. Speaking of which, the military and the government are in charge of many people, and they are all gathered together, and it is more difficult to seriously govern than to manage the civil affairs. Such a difficult matter requires the generals of the unified army to know not only military affairs, but also civil affairs, all of which are indispensable. Only when the civil and military forces are combined can the army be cured. I here require all the lieutenant generals and colonels to study intensively, and everyone must be literate and hyphenated, be able to shoot a bow and arrow, and know how to march and fight. Wenchen commanded the army, it should be the same, and it was appropriate to go to the general's school camp to study for a few days. ”

Han Qi was reluctant to go, according to Xu Ping, the commander of the army wanted to Yunwen Yunwu, how easy is this? Wenchen has been reading and writing since elementary school, a sage classic, how can he open a bow with a hand that is used to holding a pen? The generals are even more so, they are used to knives and guns, and it is more difficult to let them pick up a hair awl to write than to let Wenchen shoot a bow. What's the point of forcing everyone to do something so difficult? The commander of an army knows how to deploy troops, or he doesn't need to go into battle to kill the enemy.

Seeing that Han Qi was silent, Xu Ping said again: "When Yizu was here, he once said that he wanted to let the world's martial artists study, and of course, Yizu also said that he wanted to let Wenchen know about martial arts. Wise and martial like an art ancestor, he has been in the army since he was a child, and he has fought countless battles, so this should not be said casually. At that time, the world was undecided, and it was troublesome to do, but now the world has been peaceful for a long time, and there are many civil and military generals, so it is not so difficult to do it again. ”

Seeing that Xu Ping brought out Taizu's words, where would Han Qi say anything more? He arched his hand and said: "What the scripture says is that you should be taught!" ”

Xu Ping nodded: "By the way, now Li Zhang is in charge of the marching operations and staff planning of the school camp, so Zhigui will go there and stay with Li Zhang for two days." Get a general idea so that you don't have a clue about the future. ”

Han Qi's face was expressionless, and he agreed.

Looking at Han Qi's expression, Xu Ping suddenly felt a little lost. According to the routine at this time, he didn't need to manage too much of the soldiers and horses on the Jingyuan Road by himself, as long as he handed over the military order to march and fight to them in wartime. If you complete the military order, you will naturally be rewarded, and if you can't complete it, you will be punished, so why bother to tell Han Qi this? Speaking of which, they still have no confidence in the current forbidden army, and are worried that when it is time to fight, they will mess up the situation they have worked so hard to manage. Another one, also because Han Qi is his own year, he sincerely wants to help him. But looking at Han Qi's appearance, it was obvious that he felt that this was a redundant move, and Xu Ping might be unhappy to keep him here for two days.

It's hard to worry about yourself, it's hard for strongmen, and for whom are you working hard and for whom?

The battalion of the general school is specially designed for the training of officers, and the source is the original general school, and the other is to select outstanding soldiers from among the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions in peacetime and wartime to train here. Only those who pass will be promoted, and if they do not even pass the assessment of their own level, they will be assigned to the box army or to the nearby fort to do inspections, and the field group will be eliminated. Xu Ping is not harsh, unless he makes a big mistake, he will not punish his subordinates at every turn, and he will not casually seize the official position and demote him. It's not suitable for a job here, just change to a place where you can do it, and if you can't do it, you can also be transferred to the state and county military attachés.

Xu Ping repeatedly stressed to his subordinates that marching and fighting is a more difficult government task than local affairs, and the generals and colonels who command operations naturally need to master more skills. Reading and literacy is a must, even military orders have to be read to others, documents need to be written with the help of others, and they can only draw flowers and press their handprints, and there are no such generals and colonels in the army. Jia Kui, who was newly transferred to the tall army, did not know a single word, but now he can write a military newspaper that looks like it, although he can't talk about it, he can at least explain one thing clearly. This is the most basic requirement in Xu Ping's army, and if he can't do this, he will have no chance with the officer, and no matter how much he makes military achievements, he can only get more rewards, not promotions.

In more than a year, the five armies have basically been able to meet this basic requirement, and some of them have been cut out of the army because they really can't learn, and they have been filled with military posts in various forts in Qinzhou. Many of them, after being dismissed from the army, continued their studies on their own and returned to the army after they arrived at the localities. With such a contingent of officers, there is a basis for the discussion of combat plans and the extensive discussion of various systems in the army. As a regular army of the imperial court, it is impossible to summon all the chiefs before the war like the illiterate army, and sit in a circle to discuss how to fight. There were also officials in the imperial court who wrote down this practice of the Fan army in a similar way and wrote to the imperial court, believing that it was one of the reasons why they were good at fighting. However, they did not know that regular warfare was originally required to be like this, and it was not only necessary for officers at all levels to discuss it, but also to write it down and summarize it in front of the commanders. The issuance of military orders is a very serious matter, and it is necessary to draw on the opinions of the people, and there is no doubt that the top and bottom of the army can make a decision.

After chatting for a while, Xu Ping stood up and called Han Qi to take a casual walk around the barracks.

At this time, it was noon, and the army began to eat, and Wang Kai commanded the preparation of the banquet.

The daily food in the barracks is very simple, according to Xu Ping's requirements, each person needs a big bowl of broth, a big bowl of rice or two large steamed buns, and a big bowl of vegetables at noon. Cattle and sheep are cheap here in the northwest, slaughtered every day in the army, the officers eat meat, and the remaining bones are boiled into soup for the soldiers to drink. Anyway, if there are more people, they will put more water, and if there are more people, they will drink a little thicker, and they will not be afraid of not enough.

Watching the soldiers come and go to fetch food and serve soup, Xu Ping said to Han Qi: "Zhigui, there is a sentence that I often say in the army, and now I will tell you again." Marching and fighting a war is a more complicated matter than local government affairs, and it must not be seen as simple. How is local government done? For example, if you want to build a bridge, the officials will first lead people to investigate, estimate the money, food, manpower, and time spent, and then organize it step by step, and finally there will be hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people working together. In the meantime, things depend on the clues, and how many officials and people are involved. It's the same with marching and fighting, planning before the war and commanding the battle, I don't know how much more things to take care of than building bridges and roads. As the commander of an army, we don't need to know how these things are done, and we can't be proficient in everything, but we at least know what to do. Yes and no? ”
