Although the contradiction between Xu Liang and Zheyan is deepening day by day, and the two have gradually developed from the initial appearance to open confrontation, as Xu Wei thought, after all, the two of them are still ministers of the main battle faction, and although they are constantly dirty with each other, they still have a certain consensus on the major issue of right and wrong to resist Jin.

Both of them proposed a future military policy toward Kim, and the ministers debated about it, but one thing was certain. That is, to continue to build up armaments. How can armaments be strengthened? It is nothing more than the reorganization, training, and enrichment of grain, grass, and ordnance, and the selection of good generals and officers.

When it comes to reorganization, we cannot fail to mention the current situation of the Great Song army. As we all know, the saying that the Great Song Dynasty has 500,000 elite soldiers has been circulating for several years, but this is only a general situation, and no one knows what the details are. Especially how many troops the Western Army had, the imperial court has never known the exact number.

Moreover, the Song army in the south was reorganized in accordance with the instructions of the imperial court, and the Shenwu Front Army under the jurisdiction of the Zhe family, the Shenwu Left Army under the jurisdiction of the Liu family, the Shenwu Middle Army under the jurisdiction of Zhao Ding, and the Shenwu Rear Army under the jurisdiction of Han Yue.

Zhe Yanzhi proposed that it was advisable to order the Western Army to be reorganized into the Shenwu Right Army, and send personnel to the Western Army to assist in the reorganization, and bring back the military register. In fact, his intention was very clear, that is, how many troops he wanted to have in the Western Army, and how many catties and taels the Xu family army had. Of course, Xu Liu understood what he meant, but he couldn't object, all the armies in the south were reorganized, leaving only the number of the Shenwu Right Army, which was actually prepared for the Western Army.

At the beginning, the reason why the imperial court wanted to reorganize the whole ** team was to unify the order and let the army of the whole country obey the control of the imperial court. To this end, the "Imperial Camp Division" was specially set up as the highest military command organ in the country. However, this is not the case in practice. Both the Western Army and the Southern Army have their own historical origins and factions, and the commanders and commanders also have their own mountains, and it is not easy to integrate them. Moreover, these armies are stationed in various places, and once a war breaks out, how can the central government calmly move and arrange?

Therefore, the Imperial Camp Division was just an ornament, and later the position of "Imperial Camp Envoy" was simply vacant for a long time. At the same time as proposing the reorganization of the Western Army, he also suggested that the Imperial Camp Division be reorganized, and the word "Imperial Front" should be added in front of the numbers of the five armies to show that the army in the world is the king's division.

Regarding this opinion, Zhao Jin's attitude is very ambiguous. In his opinion, it is okay to get it or not, it is nothing more than to give the Western Army an official name. As for the Imperial Camp Division, what if you set it up? Most of the Xuanfu envoys have the right to "act cheaply", how can the Imperial Camp Division control the command?

However, there are quite a few ministers in the DPRK who agree with this proposal. In the eyes of these ministers, it is very timely for the minister to put forward this proposal at this time. Why? Because the world is gradually becoming peaceful, it is estimated that there is no big battle to be fought, and since there is no war, some expedient measures should be put in order. Let's make it clear, in the past, in order to resist gold, I had no choice but to expand the power of the military ministers and raise the status of the military ministers. Now that there is no war, shouldn't everything be back to the way it was?

They believed that King Lin's proposal was to prepare for the reorganization of the army and the elimination of privileges, so they strongly agreed. But there are also many opponents, who vigorously refute the argument that there will be no war in the future, not to mention the delicate relationship between Song and Jin, Song and Liao, and the threat of war still exists, just saying that Hebei is still under the occupation of the Jurchens, this war cannot be said to be over!

Note that what they oppose is that they think that "the world is peaceful," not that they oppose the reorganization of the army. And Xu Liang, as the second minister, is not easy to express his position on this matter, because the leader of the Western Army is his cousin. In the end, the matter was settled, because Xu Liu considered that it was just a change of number and counting the troops, and it would not affect Xu Wei anything.

It's just that the two prime ministers have a big difference on who to send to Sichuan and Shaanxi to convey the edict and assist in the inventory. Xu Liang planned to send Sun Shi of the Zhiyuan to go, Sun Shi was the original Wukang Zhi County, the Emperor Zhao Huan in the past years under the planning of Huang Qianshan and others, trying to restore, Xu Liang escaped from Geling all the way to the north, into Wukang County, with the help of this person, only to successfully arrive at Zhao Ding's Xuanfu Division. The situation subsided, and after Xu Liang was promoted, he was also promoted to him, and naturally, he became Xu Liang's person.

And Zhe Yanzhi planned to send Yang Fu, a member of the military department, Yang Fu was a military supervisor before, and the relationship was very good when Zhe Yanzhi was still a privy envoy, and King Lin worshiped the prime minister, and he naturally surrendered to his command.

The two sides were at loggerheads, and Xu Liang was going to give in, because it wasn't a big deal, it was nothing more than a trip to Xingyuan Mansion to convey an order. The ninth brother has been operating in Sichuan and Shaanxi for many years, what can you do even if you are a minister? Lao Jiu can still let you lead the nose?

On this day, after the dispersal of the dynasty, the emperor summoned the prime minister and the deputy prime minister to the "Qinzheng Hall", Xu Liang was about to propose to the emperor, so he sent Yang Fu, a member of the military department, to Sichuan and Shaanxi, but he heard the emperor say: "Recently, the court and the central government have been in dispute over sending personnel to Sichuan and Shaanxi to assist in the reorganization. It's just that the Zhiyuan Sun Shi xìng is upright, and it is inevitable that he will not be safe enough to handle things. This king of Taiyuan is a national cadre, if he is sent, in case there are any conflicts and misunderstandings in words, will there be trouble? ”

"Yang Fu, a member of the military department, was a military superintendent before, and he was familiar with military affairs, but his rank was too low, and if he was ordered to do so, he was afraid that the king of Taiyuan would be unhappy. After thinking about it, there is a candidate, how about the two Qing families? ”

When the two ministers heard this, they were suspicious in their hearts, and it was not easy to say it in person, so they both nodded and asked the emperor to show them.

"Fan Tong, a bachelor of Hanlin, is a jinshi during the Zhenghe period, and has been an envoy to the Jin country, with rich experience, calm and disciplined, send him to be successful." The Emperor laughed.

Fan Tong? As soon as he heard this name, the prime minister's heart brightened. Fan Tong was neither on Xu Liang's side, nor did he follow Zhe Yanzhi, but he was a steady official in the court, and he was repeatedly promoted, and he was still working in Taichang Temple before, and he became a bachelor of Hanlin in a blink of an eye.

This is thanks to the fact that he is on the right track. Back then, when Liu Yanqing was still alive, he used to be an envoy to the imperial camp, and Fan Tong was a staff member in his yamen at that time, so he was old. Later, the Liu family rose, and his market naturally rose. The emperor inexplicably proposed such a candidate, I am afraid it was not out of holy will, it is estimated that Empress Liu blew the wind on the pillow.

Xu Liu suddenly remembered that in order to argue whether the DPRK and China should suspend and reform the major policies, the swords and guns were put into storage, the horses were put in Nanshan, and the Jin State negotiated peace, and this Fan Tong once advocated peace.
