Chapter 182 Military Standardization
"Hmph, it's too much, the three generations of the Yang family are generals, all of them are generals, I have also heard of that Yang Huaiyu, I heard that he grew up in the army since he was a child, and he has already made military exploits when he was a teenager, and he is likely to succeed General Yang as the pillar of the generals in the future, but I didn't expect such a talent to be deliberately hidden, can't I even tolerate such a talent in the Great Song Dynasty?" After listening to what happened to Yang Huaiyu, the young and vigorous Zhao Xian snorted coldly and said, he also knew that Jiangmen was suppressed by civil officials before, but he didn't expect it to be suppressed so badly, no wonder the talents of Jiangmen have withered over the years.
However, compared to Zhao Shu's impatience, although Zhao Shu's face also showed a little dissatisfaction, he did not speak immediately, but was silent for a long time, and then sighed and said: "When Taizu released the military power with a cup of wine, he originally set the pattern of governing the country with literature, and the military generals were naturally suppressed, and the boy of the Yang family was a talent, and I also had the intention to promote it last time, so I asked him to lead a team of guards to guard the third brother's mansion, but I didn't expect it to end up like this." β
Hearing the meaning of Zhao Shu's words, although it is a pity that Yang Huaiyu is a talent, he doesn't seem to have any intention of presiding over justice for the other party, which made Zhao Ji and Zhao Yan stunned, and then Zhao Ji said anxiously: "Daddy, Yang Huaiyu is a great general, and now I have two strong enemies in the Great Song Dynasty, Western Xia and Northern Liao, and I need a talent like Yang Huaiyu, and my father must preside over justice for him!" β
I saw that after Zhao Shu heard Zhao Ji's words, he shook his head slightly, and sighed: "Ying'er, what you think is too simple, suppressing Yang Huaiyu is not a decision made by a certain civil official, but a tacit move by the entire civil official group. Even in their opinion, this has formed a rule and tradition, only by maintaining such a tradition, can the civil official group control the government for a long time, if someone dares to destroy this tradition, then it is the enemy of the entire civil official group, even if the father is the emperor, it is also not because of Yang Huaiyu alone, and destroy this tradition, because this will cause big trouble to the father! β
Heard Zhao Shu's words. Zhao Ji was a little unconvinced at first. However, although his personality is a little impatient, he is not an ordinary person after all, and he quickly figured out the joints, which made him sigh heavily in the end. looked at the sand table in front of him and stopped talking. It's just that he is still very unwilling in his heart. Especially when he thought that when he succeeded to the throne in the future, he would also be constrained by the civil officials, which made him even more unwilling.
Seeing Zhao Ji's unwilling appearance. Looking at Zhao Shu's appearance although he was calm on the surface, but he was also quite dissatisfied in his heart, Zhao Yan suddenly smiled at this time and said: "Daddy and eldest brother, you don't have to worry about Brother Huaiyu's affairs, he has now found something more suitable for him to do, and it is no worse than serving in the army!" β
Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Zhao Shu and Zhao Ji were both stunned, and then Zhao Wei eagerly asked: "Third brother, what do you mean by what you say, isn't Yang Huaiyu thrown to you now and no one cares, how can it be worse than serving in the army?" β
"Hehe, after Brother Huaiyu was deliberately hidden, the whole person was a little discouraged, so I went to comfort him, and then helped him find another important thing to do, if this matter is done well, it is definitely more important than him being a general directly!" Zhao Yan deliberately sold a Guan Zidao again.
"Yan'er, what did Yang Huaiyu do by you, could it be that there is a more suitable place for him in this world than the army?" At this time, Zhao Shu couldn't help it, and asked immediately.
"Hehe, didn't my eldest brother send me a lot of people who lost weight a few days ago, plus the previous ones, there are nearly two hundred people together, I plan to hand over these people to Yang Huaiyu and let him practice hard to help those people lose weight!" Zhao Yan said with a smile, but he deliberately did not mention the matter of the military school.
Zhao Shu and Zhao Ji also felt a little crying and laughing when they heard that Zhao Yan was just a person who asked Yang Huaiyu to help him train to lose weight, in their opinion, Yang Huaiyu was such a great general, and finally became a person who helped people lose weight, this is simply a very sad thing, how can it be compared to being a general?
Seeing Zhao Shu and Zhao Ji's disappointed looks, Zhao Yan smiled again and said: "Daddy and eldest brother, don't underestimate the matter of losing weight, originally at the beginning, I just wanted Yang Huaiyu to use the method of training to increase the amount of exercise for those who lose weight, but Yang Huaiyu is a very serious person, he thinks that since he wants to train soldiers, he must train an elite soldier, it just so happens that most of those who lose weight are generals, and naturally they can't be left behind." β
When he said this, Zhao Yan paused for a moment and then said: "When I heard Yang Huaiyu's words, my heart suddenly moved, and I thought of another thing, that is, in order to prevent the rebellion of the generals at the end of the Tang Dynasty, I in the Great Song Dynasty separated the generals from the army. After all, the temporarily appointed generals are not familiar with the local army, and the low-level generals of the army are also not convinced by the generals transferred from above. β
Hearing Zhao Yan suddenly analyze the weakness of the Great Song army, Zhao Shu and Zhao Ji were a little surprised, only to see them look at each other, and then Zhao Shu spoke: "Yan'er, what you said is right, my Great Song army does have such weaknesses, but this problem is almost unsolvable, if the general is allowed to master an army for a long time, he can indeed wield the true strength of this army on the battlefield, but it will bring risks to the imperial court, so he can only implement the system of separating the generals and soldiers. It is also the credit of this set of generals and soldiers. β
"Daddy is wrong, this problem is not impossible to solve, Erchen just has a way here that can maintain the separation system of soldiers and generals, and at the same time can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of my Great Song army!" Zhao Yan said with a smile again at this time.
"What's the solution?" Zhao Ji said eagerly at this time, as the quasi-prince of the Great Song Dynasty, no one is more eager to change the status quo of the Great Song army than him.
"Big brother, don't worry, you listen to me first!" Seeing Zhao Yan's anxious look, Zhao Yan smiled slightly, "Now I am serving as the consultant of the Ordnance Superintendent, isn't it also during this period of time, there is a big problem with the weapons produced by the Ordnance Superintendent, for example, taking my Ming ballista as an example, the most critical thing is the torsion spring on the two crossbow arms, this kind of spring is generally made in pairs, and it is also the easiest to break, but if one of the springs is damaged, the craftsmen will often remove the other good spring, and then replace it with a new pair of springs, This is because the ballista requires the strength of the two torsion springs to be equal, and the craftsmen do not have a standard when producing torsion springs, so there is a certain difference in the strength of each pair of springs, which also makes the spring as long as one is broken, and the other one is useless, resulting in a lot of waste. β
When Zhao Yan said this, he deliberately stopped and glanced at Zhao Shu and Zhao Ji, but now both of them had confused expressions, and they didn't seem to understand why Zhao Yan said this?
Seeing this, Zhao Yan had to continue to speak: "After this problem, I put forward a request to Shen Kuo and Su Shi, that is, let them be divided into three models according to the shooting and shooting of ballistas: large, medium and small, among which the torque springs produced by the same model must have strict materials and steps to ensure that the torque springs of this model can be universal, which not only speeds up the production of torque springs, but also reduces waste, which is the standardization of military production, which can not only be used in torque springs, It can also be used in the production of other weapons, and even in the construction of armies! β
Hearing Zhao Yan's last sentence, Zhao Shu and Zhao Ji were both shocked, and vaguely guessed what Zhao Yan meant. I saw Zhao Shu ponder for a long time, and finally said slowly: "Yan'er, I understand what you mean, you want to train the army with a standard, so that the army of the whole country is the same, so that in the future, no matter which general commands the army, he can get familiar with the army in the fastest time, and then swing the strength of this army." β
However, as soon as Zhao Shu's words fell, Zhao Ji frowned and said: "Third brother, your idea is a little too naΓ―ve, the army is composed of soldiers and generals, everyone has their own thoughts and likes and dislikes, how can they be trained with a standard?" β
When he said this, Zhao Ji paused for a moment and then said: "In addition, if you take a step back, even if you train the whole country's army into one place, you can't guarantee that you can send a random general, so that those troops can obediently obey the command, especially the middle and lower level generals of those armies, they are most familiar with their own army, if the generals sent are unknown, I am afraid that they will not be able to suppress them to obey the command, this kind of thing is not a new thing in my Great Song army." β
"Of course it's possible, big brother, you also said that the army is composed of generals and soldiers, of which generals at all levels are the skeleton of the army, and the non-commissioned officers are the flesh and blood on the skeleton, as long as the skeleton is built, then the remaining flesh and blood will naturally grow up on the skeleton, and then it will grow into the shape we need, so we only need to train a group of generals with the same ideas and the same goals. The rejection between them is naturally much smaller, and as long as the generals sent out are not incompetent, there is naturally a way to subdue the hearts of the military in the shortest possible time. Zhao Yan said very confidently at this time, the topic is finally going to turn to the military academy. (To be continued!)
