CHAPTER XXII. Military Reform 1

readx;?Great Song Dynasty Divine Doctor Chapter 22 Military Reform (1)

The 100th anniversary of the founding of the Song Dynasty. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info. qΒ5 has one of the most basic national policies, which has not changed from the time of Song Taizu to the extinction. This most basic national policy is to suppress the army and promote literature.

The so-called suppression of the army and the promotion of literature is to limit the promotion of Gao Wenchen. In the Song Dynasty, there was even a saying that the emperor and the scholars shared the world. It can be seen that there are many bits in the text. At the same time as the infinite elevation of the position of Wenchen. Infinitely suppress the power and position of military generals. The generals of the Song Dynasty basically did not have any military power. All the right to transfer troops and horses was in the hands of the ministers. Most generals are puppets. And most of the Song Dynasty's wars commanded the army of Wenchen. The value of military generals was suppressed to the extreme in the Song Dynasty. Under such circumstances, how could the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty be strong.

The throne of the Song Dynasty did not come. Song Taizu ascended to the throne by bullying Zhou Taizong's orphans and widows. And the relationship between Zhou Taizong and Song Taizu is so good that they are brothers. However, it is Song Taizu, the brother, who is the country of the Chai family. And the biggest reason why Taizu was able to usurp the Chai family. It is because Song Taizu has military power.

There is a way to go up and down. Since Taizu was able to usurp the Chai family's country with a clear conscience. The old Zhao family is also afraid that someone will ignore their conscience and usurp the old Zhao family's country. So Song Taizu thought about it all his life. In the end, a conclusion was made that the warriors were not credible. It directly affected the fate of the warriors of the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years. The military weakness of the Great Song Dynasty is really speechless. Although Zhao led the soldiers and horses to fight many victories, he knew in his heart that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and horses was very worrying. Even with the help of sharp firearms, what can you do? Gao Shiyao, a military idiot, can destroy 50,000 forbidden troops and put on a lot of firearms. The Great Song military idiots are not one or two. The advent of firearms has made war even more brutal. If not improve the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty in a short time. Those exposed firearms will be able to destroy the Great Song Dynasty tomorrow.

So Zhao resolutely decided to reform the military. Although doing so will be taboo for officials.

……………………………

Zhao's recital in the Imperial Hall made the court silent. All the officials looked at Zhao in amazement. The heart said that Zhao Sanshi was crazy. And the official Zhao Zhen sitting on the dragon chair. began to look at Zhao with suspicion. "Gao Shiyao was defeated - thousands of soldiers were killed. 20,000 people were taken prisoner. 20,000 people fled. Only three thousand people returned. The 20,000 captured soldiers soon surrendered to the rebellious Zhigao. The soldiers who escaped would rather fall into the grass than return to Bianjing to continue to serve as soldiers. It can be seen that the army of the imperial court no longer has any cohesion and centripetal force. The imperial army had reached the point where it needed to be reformed, so the ministers asked for a stronger army. Zhao was not afraid of the suspicious gaze of the official Zhao Zhen. Yi Langsheng said. The official Zhao Zhenhu's suspicious eyes changed, but he opened Zhao's words. However, he asked with interest: "How can Ai Qingjue's army reform in order to strengthen the army?" ”

The official Zhao Zhenzhong has already made up his mind to pay attention to the general, as long as Zhao proposes to divide power. immediately demoted Zhao Sanshi to the people. Go to the sea with Lu.

Zhao wanted to reform the army. He is not a fool, he will definitely not touch the bottom line of the official family and hundreds of officials, and he has been prepared for a long time, and he put forward his first reform request.

"Qi Qi Guan's house. Coats's defeat reminds us that the commander of the army must be aware of the war. If the civil servants who command the army do not know anything about military affairs. It is equivalent to burying the army with your own hands. Therefore, the minister proposed to build the Great Song Military Academy. and sent Wenchen into the academy to learn the art of war and military formation strategy. Only Wenchen who graduated from the Great Song Military Academy could lead the army. In this way, the terrible consequences of the commanders of the army and the civil servants who are not familiar with military affairs can be avoided. "Zhao is smart. First, the demand for reform pointed out that he had no intention of raising the rank of military general. There is no intention of letting military generals hold military power. It's just to strengthen the ability of civil servants to command troops.

Zhao's words made the official Zhao Zhen feel relieved. That's what the heart said. That's a good idea. Let Wenchen learn to command the army. It can reduce the role of generals even more. Why didn't you think of such a good way sooner! The official Zhao Zhen thought with a smile on his face. Sure enough, he's a smart man! The Privy Councillor Pang Ji was startled at first. Only then did Zhao's true purpose appear. I began to appreciate the thought in my heart.

The minister agreed with Lord Zhao's view. Gao Shiyao's defeat was because of the military. If only every commander of the army could be proficient in military affairs. Why worry that the military of the Great Song Dynasty is not strong! The privy envoy Wu Yu pondered it. Jue Zhao's proposal is really wonderful. Ma stood up in support of Zhao and said.

"Zhao Aiqing's mention is good. Now that Wu Aiqing has agreed. Let's get ready! Let the powers of the three divisions and the Privy Council be coordinated. Of course, Guan Zhaozhen agrees with this opinion. Immediately made a decision to say.

"The minister asked the official family to personally assume the position of the head of the Great Song Military Academy. And the dean of the Great Song Military Academy must be held by the emperor. Zhao made a second request at this time and said. This Zhao Sanshi is too ghostly. This kind of attention can be thought of! Prime Minister Jia Changchao was originally planning to plan the dean of the Great Song Military Academy. And in doing so, we can expand our impact. Unexpectedly, Zhao's proposal blocked this influential official position. Who dares to compete with the emperor! So I immediately extinguished the heart of planning.

The dean of the Great Song Military Academy is equal to all the teachers who study Wenchen. The position is delicate and hot. It's okay for a year or two. Ten years eight

,。 This dean's position has become very influential in the army. The words of the official Zhao Zhen. Immediately understand the key. Smiled and agreed to take on this position. He also decreed that the dean of the Great Song Military Academy could only be held by the emperors of previous dynasties.

After the grand principles are finalized. The court began to discuss the details of the Great Song Military Academy. Argued for a day. It wasn't until late that the discussion ended. As for the counterinsurgency high thing. I can only leave it for tomorrow to decide.

This night. Hundreds of courtiers in Bianjing began to join forces. Keep running through the door. Began to run for the upcoming construction of the Great Song Military Academy. Whether it is a teacher, a student, or a college administrator. A new yamen will form a new right. How this right is distributed. It depends on the wrestling between the courtiers.

………………………………

Zhao didn't plan to get involved in the Great Song Military Academy. With Zhao Sanshi's reputation. There must be one of him in the teacher's seat in the Great Song Military Academy. And he also has a lot of say in the other teacher seats. Sometimes it's good to fight for power. If you go too far, you will be suspicious.

Sleep beautifully. On the second day, Zhao Jing walked into the Imperial Palace vigorously. The reform ideas to be put forward today are even more important. It may provoke a rebuttal. Zhao, who had been prepared for a long time, of course, had to keep up his spirit to deal with what Qianfu pointed out

The Great Song Military Academy's scriptures were erected. The details and trivial matters are naturally handled by the officials below. If anything is done by the courtiers themselves. I'm afraid it will tire a lot of people to death. Therefore, the hundreds of courtiers in the Imperial Palace are only responsible for major policies and policies. They're not going to do anything else.

There was silence in the Imperial Palace. Regardless of whether the official Zhao Zhen was a hundred officials in the palace, he did not speak. looked at Zhao with a blank eye. No, what can anyone say today?

Under the vision of more than 100 pairs of eyes. Zhao smiled slightly. Walking out of the queue, Lang said: "The minister followed yesterday's recital." It is hoped that the official family and the imperial court can improve the treatment of soldiers. Reach the root of a strong army. And the soldiers were divided into three classes. To show justice. ”

Zhao finished speaking. Begin to describe the idea of reform. In his eyes. Today's soldiers, society, and economic income are too low. As a result, no one wants to join the army at all. Half of the million-strong forbidden army was from military households. The other half are from prisoner backgrounds. Under the position of the military household. And there are too many old and weak. And the prisoner did not have the slightest sense of national honor. When a war is lost, there will be a race to surrender. Therefore, the reform of the armed forces is urgent.

Zhao Yiban pointed out the most serious problem of the Great Song army at present. The official Zhao Zhen listened to Zhao's words. Actually sit up straight. Seriously began to listen to Zhao's next words.

"There are more than a million troops. But the most elite is still the 800,000 forbidden army in Bianjing. However, among the 800,000, how many of them are old and weak from military families. The adults of the Privy Council know best. The military household is loyal and commendable, but the combat effectiveness is not strong. The prisoner was young and strong, but he had little loyalty to speak of. A defeat by Gao Shiyao exposed these problems to the imperial court. The most important thing for the imperial court now. It's about solving these problems-

Think twice. I don't think these problems are difficult to solve. First of all, there is the problem of the old and weak military households. The army can completely eliminate the old and weak..."Zhao just said here. Someone immediately asked.

"Lord Zhao. How many years are there in the Great Song Army? How many physical disabilities. You really know how frail and sick you are. If these people are all eliminated from the army. At least 200,000 people will be culled. How these 200,000 people are settled. How to fill the gap left behind! A Privy Council Governor stood up and asked.

200,000 old, weak, sick and disabled! The courtiers, who had not served in the Privy Council, were shocked to hear this number. The heart said that it was no wonder that the court elder defeated the battle. There are so many old, weak, sick and disabled people in this army. The combat effectiveness of these people is almost negligible. There is so much lack of fighting power. It's no wonder if you don't lose the battle.

"These people, who are unaware of the officials, must be resettled. All the old and weak known to this officer are from the military household. All military households have their own tuntian. Life is not a problem at all. If you are not a military household, you must serve. I'm afraid these old and weak have long since left the army. Why do you have to be placed! Could it be that the military households have no tuntian? It was embezzled by the officers of the Privy Council. "Zhao has decided to reform the army. Of course, we have to mobilize those tyrants in the army. So the language asked mercilessly and coldly.

Zhao's words made many people hate their teeth! The laws of the Great Song Dynasty stipulate. Each military household has five acres of high-grade fertile land and five acres of low-grade poor land. A total of ten acres of soil. These lands are not bought or sold and are not taxed. It is completely the private land of military households. However, the Great Song Dynasty, which was founded for a hundred years, completely rotted in this regard. Nowadays, most of the military households' tuntian fields are privately swallowed by the powerful. These old and weak families from military families all live on a meager income. Therefore, even the old, weak, sick and disabled refused to leave the army. Because once you leave the army, the whole family loses their livelihood security. Now Zhao has uncovered this scar. It made many officials start to hate and fear at the same time. If the imperial court wants to investigate this matter thoroughly. I don't know how many officials will throw away their black hats!
