Chapter 158 Third Division of the Army

The problem of three redundancies is already very serious, no one dares to despise it, and no one dares to operate on this aspect.

Now that the Jin army is moving south, 800,000 forbidden troops have perished, 300,000 western troops have been destroyed, and the regular troops of the Song Dynasty have almost been wiped out. This is certainly a catastrophe, but it also means that huge military expenses are saved, and only the cost of preparing a new army and building a city needs to be paid.

This also objectively solves the problem of redundant troops.

Bianliang was breached, and a large number of officials were arrested, which in turn saved money on officials' salaries. This objectively solves the problem of redundant officials.

As the Jin army went south, disasters were suffering everywhere, and the welfare of officials could also be appropriately reduced, which objectively solved the problem of redundancy.

"It's really a strange problem, the three redundancies have led to poverty and weakness, and the poverty and weakness have led to the Jin army going south, and the Jin army going south has objectively solved the problem of three redundancies!" Suddenly, Zhao Pu felt that the opportunity to change the law had come.

At the moment of social stability, it is most difficult to change the law, and it is also bound to fail; And at the moment of the country's survival, the change of law is the easiest to succeed.

Historically, Shang Ying's reform was successful, because the Qin State was repeatedly defeated in battles with the Wei State, and suffered heavy losses. The reforms of Fan Zhongyan and Wang Anshi, although there was a social crisis at that time, the Song Dynasty still did not fall into the crisis of destroying the country, at most it was financial difficulties.

At this time, the Jin army went south, and the Song Dynasty faced an unprecedented crisis, and the pressure to change the law was minimal at this time.

From an economic point of view, the problem of three redundancies has been alleviated, and this has made the finances abundant, and with the funds for changing the law, the reform may not necessarily succeed if there is money, but without money, the reform will inevitably be full of difficulties.

"Paralyzed, the big opportunity is in front of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu almost missed the opportunity and threw it away, woo!" Zhao Pu was excited and afraid, he was really a political novice, and his political consciousness was too low. Missed too much time and didn't use it to change the law.

Thankfully, too much time was missed, but not too late, and there was still a chance to make up for it.

At this time, the best time to change the law, if anyone prevents the change, Lao Tzu will be buckled to the fornication of the Jin Army, the hat of selling the lord to seek glory, and the girl will let your old boy stink for 10,000 years!

At this time, Wang Wuyue, who was on the side, was nervous again, His Majesty the Emperor wouldn't be stunned again!

At this time, Zhao Pu's mood gradually calmed down, and the danger of changing the law at this time was still not small, but it was much more likely than Wang Anshi and Fan Zhongyan. As the so-called Xu Xu Tuzhi, boiling a frog in warm water, he will succeed sooner or later if he works slowly, he is only seventeen years old, and he can live for forty or fifty years, so he has enough time to change the law and reform slowly.

The way to change the law is to sneak into the village and don't shoot guns.

Before the world knew it, it had already done everything that needed to be done. When the world realizes that it is too late to stop it.

………………

Soon a decree came out.

The new army should set up "three divisions," namely, the Military Propaganda Department, the Military Justice Department, and the Military Intelligence Department. The Military Propaganda Department is responsible for the army's propaganda and propaganda of the anti-gold proposition; Military law, which is responsible for supervising military law and supervising the wrongdoing of the army army; The Department of Military Intelligence is responsible for military intelligence investigations and information dissemination.

When it was reported that the army had set up the "three divisions," some of the bigwigs in the DPRK and China only made a few general sweeps and issued this order, without paying much attention. These three divisions are different from the other three divisions.

In the court, the Song Dynasty set up the Zhongshu, the Privy Council, and the three divisions to be in charge of the government, the military, and the three major affairs, and the power of the prime minister was divided by the privy envoy and the three secretaries. The three divisions manage the world's wealth, and the three divisions are also known as "counting". It can be said that the position is high and the power is important.

It's just that this newly established "Third Military Division" is a bit nondescript......

the Department of Military Propaganda, which is responsible for propaganda and is insignificant;

the Department of Military Intelligence, which investigates military intelligence, which many agencies have;

As for the Department of Military Justice, it is responsible for military law, which is nothing more than an expansion of the military supervision system.

The only difference is that the Third Military Division is not under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council, but is directly subordinate to the emperor. The reason is that in today's war, it is directly subordinate, eliminating intermediate links, and is conducive to command.

After hearing this, the court bigwigs didn't pay much attention to it.

But Zhao Pu was ecstatic in his heart, the reform started from the army, the army started from the pro-guard army, and the reform of the pro-guard army began with military law, military intelligence, and military propaganda.

Outsiders think that the "Third Military Division" is irrelevant, but Zhao Pu knows that this is the key to reform.

The combat effectiveness of an army comes from military discipline, and the military discipline of the Song Dynasty has always been bad. In order to improve military discipline, there was a military supervision system. The system of supervising the army itself is to supervise the illegal acts of the army and to achieve checks and balances between the supervising army and the generals.

However, because the quality of the supervising army was too low, many eunuchs were appointed as supervising the army, and they also abused their power and gave blind command, which caused many armed forces to complain about the system of supervising the army.

In the early days of the Bazi Army, he established a system of supervising the army, but most of the officers within the Bazi Army were appointed, because they were too familiar with each other, resulting in some supervision being a mere formality, which made the military discipline of the Bazi Army almost collapse.

This revelation shows that the power of the supervising military should not be abused, and the power of the supervising military should be restrained, and at the same time, the integrity of the supervising military is very important and should not be too familiar.

Therefore, the establishment of the Military Judge Advocate General's Department is imperative.

The Department of Judge Advocate General, which can be said to be the cradle of the "political commissar", is mainly responsible for cultivating qualified military supervisors.

As a supervising army, the rank is equal to that of the general, but it is controlled by the general, and is mainly responsible for the daily training records of the whole army, when to go out, training content, food, leave, etc., to be recorded in a book, and finally to be archived. These records must be true and reliable, without the slightest hint of falsity. If it is false, it will be dismissed at least and never hired.

Second, the salaries of the soldiers who are responsible for the payment must be paid in full, and there must be no deductions in the slightest, and the monthly military food expenses must be announced and supervised.

Thirdly, it is military punishment, and when a sergeant violates military law, he can be punished.

The supervising army must not interfere with the normal command of the general, as long as it is less talking, less interference, more records, and everything must be truthful. If a soldier in the army feels that the supervision of the army is unfair, he can report it to the higher authorities and report it. If this is true, the prison will be severely punished.

In terms of the selection of the prison army, Zhao Pu decisively gave up the eunuch as the prison army, and instead chose some scholars who landed on the ground, or those who were not subject to important Hanlin, etc., it was better to use hard work than to use it, and it was better to use it if it had a relationship. It doesn't matter, it's easier to control than the relational; A down-and-out scholar is easier to control than a scholar on the ground.

In terms of the selection of the prison army, Zhao Pu gave priority to nerds.

Nerds have 10,000 disadvantages, but one advantage is that they are too stupid to make mistakes of principle. Nerds are also the easiest to brainwash, and once brainwashed, they are also the least easy to change, and it can be said that nine cows can't pull it.

Like what; Zhang Dong and Ouyang Che, typical angry youths, plus nerds, always criticize current affairs, saying that this is not good, that is not good.

Zhao Pu also had a headache, and it was too much to cut the two of them, but if he didn't cut them, it was too troublesome, and finally he was simply sent to the Military Justice Department.

I am not afraid that these two goods have a stinky mouth, and they have been tortured in the army for several months in a row, knowing that the march is hard, and they will talk nonsense everywhere and at will. The reason why these two people talk about it is because their limbs are not diligent, they work too little, and they are too energetic.

After a brief instruction, the various supervisors of the Judge Advocate General's Division began to take their places.

…………

The Military Propaganda Department is specifically responsible for brainwashing the army, constantly instilling in the army the idea of hating the Jin people, telling the characteristics of the Jin Army, the characteristics of each general, and the combat style. At the same time, through the Military Propaganda Division, the army was loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.

Military propaganda is extremely important in later generations, and once you master military propaganda, it can be said that you control half of the army. It's a pity that in this era, no one sees the importance of army propaganda, and when fighting a war, it is only senior generals who mobilize each other, and the soldiers often don't know why they are fighting, and what they are fighting for.

Because, the view of this era is that the general is wise, and the soldier is foolish.

The way to train soldiers is to make generals smarter and soldiers more and more ignorant. The general is wise, he can command Ruo Ding, and he can anticipate things like a god; If the soldiers are ignorant, they can move forward bravely and not be afraid of death.

But the reality is that the generals are indeed getting smarter and smarter, commanding remotely for hundreds of miles, and once they lose the battle, they will be the first to run away; The soldiers are also becoming more and more ignorant, and when they win battles, they are all moving forward, and when they lose battles, they run faster than anyone else.

Zhao Pu has already abandoned this kind of extensive military training, and now his capital is limited, and he should pay as little as possible if he can pay less tuition, and if he can preserve a little more strength, he must preserve a little more strength, and he must follow the strategy of being a crack soldier and a strategy of strengthening the army.

ps: Some people say that the plot of this book is too slow, but in fact, it is not slow, just more than 150 chapters, involving three years, three large-scale battles between Song and Jin, and it exposes the shortcomings and advantages between Song and Jin.

Some people say that the plot of this book is flooded and pasted too much, but in fact, some analysis and some information cannot be found on Baidu at all.

The real shame of Jingkang has become too strong and has lost its historical authenticity.

The plot will be more exciting next.
