"Jingwen, I know that the management method you have set up in the Snow Shame Army is very good. However, the entire army of my Datang has been limited by the management methods of the past. You say, how can we change that? Especially talent, those veterans of the past are going to be eliminated, and the next step should be to adopt the methods you have set up. In this way, even if we form a standing army, there will be no problems. But how can we get the relevant talents as much as possible? If they all rely on self-study, then it won't work! Li Shimin said.

Li Shimin understands very well that he needs to find a way to improve the management mode of the army, so that the army of Datang can rest easy. In the past, the government military system was not actually a model of a standing army, at most it was a reserve. However, although this method can prevent generals from embracing their own troops, it will also cause the army to be ignorant of its generals and generals, and ultimately the army's combat effectiveness will be weakened. And Li Shimin, as a general on horseback, of course knew the consequences of a weak army. And Jingwen's new management model made Li Shimin's eyes shine. If China's management model in the past was based on the idea that people are not suspicious and suspicious, this new management model is actually based on the use of doubtful and suspicious people. With this method, it is possible to control the army as much as possible. In this way, even if a standing army is formed, the influence of the chief general will be greatly weakened, because the people who actually handle affairs are just that group of staff officers.

But now Li Shimin has one of the most important problems, that is, the problem of talent. The thinking of the army is the idea that the main generals of the past have absolute authority, and this is actually not good. If it continues like this, then even if it is reformed, it will only be a dead letter. Therefore, it is necessary to correct the thinking of the entire army, so that it can be regarded as a real reform. Many reforms are not just an order from above, but more importantly, they need more support from more people. If there is no more support, then the reform is a sham. The Wuxu change of the Qing Dynasty in later generations is a joke.

"Your Majesty, let's establish a military academy!" Jingwen said.

"Military Academy?" Li Shimin obviously didn't quite understand.

Jingwen immediately explained: "Your Majesty, my school in the Tang Dynasty has schools in various prefectures and counties, and the center also has Hongwen Pavilion, Guozijian, Taixue, and so many schools in the four schools. However, the knowledge of leading troops into battle. But there is no place to learn. And the role of military generals is no less than that of civilian officials, where can this be ignored? Under the inheritance of civil officials from generation to generation, the more they learn, the more refined they become, and finally they can start from a high starting point. And if it is a military general, there are only a few who can have a family inheritance. The vast majority of generals are fought from the battlefield with a knife and a gun, and this is very cruel. The ancients said that one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither. If an ordinary military general is allowed to become famous, how many people will be killed and injured. However, these casualties are necessary, because a military general wants to grow. This is the price to pay. ”

"But if all the officers at the grassroots level can learn all kinds of knowledge of leading troops to fight, it will be different. They have learned the knowledge of leading troops to fight, so they don't have to explore it on the battlefield, just practice it directly. And with these learnings. Then there will be a lot fewer soldiers sacrificed in my Tang Dynasty. When the time comes, won't my Datang be able to let more soldiers survive? In this way, my Datang army can become bigger and stronger. ”

"That's right! If the soldiers have learned the knowledge of leading troops to fight. Since then, my Datang army has become bigger and stronger, and it doesn't have to be no longer progressive! Li Shimin also exclaimed.

Li Shimin obviously also understood what Jingwen meant, that is, to let the grassroots officers of the army be able to go through the education of the military academy and have the foundation to lead the troops to fight, so that they can start from a higher starting point. For an ordinary soldier to become a general, the price to pay is very large. But if he starts from a higher starting point, won't he be able to save a lot of "lives"?

What is more important is that when the time comes, military academies can directly train officers with these new ideas and gradually replace those veterans. Those veterans may also have to retire gradually, so as to ensure that the army can rest easy. Although these veterans don't have any bad thoughts, there are some things that you must watch out for as an emperor. Therefore, it is imperative to reform the armed forces. However, if you want to accumulate talent for reform, you must establish a military academy. In this way, it will be of great benefit to the maintenance of the combat effectiveness of the army in the future.

"Your Majesty, it's not just that. We can also teach future officers to be loyal to my Datang and die for my Datang, so that most of the low-level officers are loyal to my Datang, isn't that very effective for my Datang court to control the army? Jingwen said.

Li Shimin is even more eye-catching, and this method is not bad. Because this method makes the low-level officers loyal to Datang, even if the high-level officers want to rebel, it will not work. Because once they reveal their intention to rebel, the low-level officers will probably have to cut off their heads to receive the reward. This is the bottom-up control, which is completely different from the past method. In the past, the emperor begged those high-ranking officers to do things. But now it is those high-ranking officers who like to do it or not, because the people below are loyal to the emperor, so if you don't do it, naturally some people are willing to do it. This is two realms, which is of great benefit to the stability of the imperial power, and those high-ranking officials do not dare to be too arrogant, because there are people below who are not loyal to you!

"Okay, this military school has to be run, and it has to be done as much as possible! As for the doctor's degree and various instructors of the school, they can all be served by people from your Snow Shame Army. When the time comes, you can serve as the sacrificial wine of this military school. Li Shimin said.

Hearing the emperor's entrance ceremony, Jingwen immediately said: "Thank you for the emperor's trust!" It's not impossible to let the minister serve as this sacrificial wine, but the emperor had better hang the name of a military academy chief, otherwise I won't be at ease! ”

The so-called mountain chief is also the title of the principal of the ancient school.

"Hahahaha, you kid understands things!" Li Shimin said.

Li Shimin understood what Jingwen meant, that is, the officers trained after this military academy, I am afraid that they are all the students who sacrifice wine. Therefore, in order to avoid suspicion, Jingwen still proposed to let Li Shimin personally serve as the "mountain chief", so that the emperor is also the mentor of these students, although only in name. But at least it's a lot more stable.

"Okay, let a few prime ministers come over and discuss the matter of military reform together!" (To be continued......)
