When Jingwen collected the wishes of this military academy graduate, he took advantage of the fifteen-day court to prepare for the initiative to play to Emperor Li Shimin. However, someone is even faster than him, and it is obvious that he has long been eyeing these military academy graduates. This person is Jingwen's quasi-father-in-law, Cheng Biting Jin, and when he became Jingwen's real father-in-law in half a month, they actually stood in different positions.

"Your Majesty, Lao Cheng thinks that now that the graduates of the military academy have graduated, they will be assigned to various armies. That should be assigned to my Lao Cheng first, and give priority to the eight armies assigned to the center of the imperial court, so that the subordinates can enrich the center of the imperial court! Cheng Yanjin said.

And Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yanjin, and then turned his gaze to Jingwen, meaning to let Jingwen express his opinion, because Jingwen is essentially the person in charge of the military academy.

"Your Majesty, the cadets of the military academy all want to be assigned to the border guards, so please ask the emperor to meet their requirements!" Jingwen said.

"Oh?" Li Shimin asked.

Jingwen immediately explained: "Your Majesty, those military academy graduates are mainly young people, and they all hope to be able to go to the border battlefield to make contributions to the imperial court. When the time comes, he will be able to obtain military exploits and be crowned a wife and a son. Your Majesty, at that time, the Emperor will definitely be able to have a group of generals. ”

But Cheng Yanjin immediately said: "That should instead enrich our central army, our central army has not fought for a long time, and the soldiers are a little slack." Therefore, it is necessary to bring in these fresh officers, who are more motivated, so that they can turn the tide of our central armies, and they can maintain their combat effectiveness, and they can be able to overwhelm the Quartet. Therefore, Lao Cheng believes that these trainees should be assigned to the Central Army as a priority. ”

But Jingwen immediately retorted: "Then when the time comes, will the students lose their morale in those peaceful armies?" At that time, it will be more than worth the loss! ”

"What? Are you saying that my old Cheng has no way to lead the troops? Do you still want to marry my daughter? I tell you, if you don't agree, then don't think about marrying my daughter! Cheng Yanjin said with a blow of his beard and glaring.

Cheng Bites Jin, this is a threat. If you don't agree, then don't want to marry his daughter. Jingwen also had nothing to say, and took the initiative to look at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at it and said, "Well, new students need to get through guò actual combat to gain combat merits and learn experience." However, the central army also needs to maintain its combat effectiveness, what do you say? Don't you have a good way to get the best of both worlds? ”

Hearing that he was going to propose this best of both worlds, Jingwen immediately started to think about it. It is necessary not only to give new cadets the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in actual combat, but also to maintain the combat effectiveness of the central army. It's a bit difficult to get the best of both worlds. Li Shimin now hopes to have the best of both worlds, because the border guards are related to the security of the country, so they have to pay attention to it. However, the central army represents the center's deterrence of local powerful factions, and it is also extremely important. Therefore, Li Shimin does not intend to give up at either end.

"Your Majesty, didn't we set up an army position that would be adjusted every three years? We might as well exchange officers from the border guards and the Central Army with each other, and then exchange them every three years. In the past, there were only small changes in the transfer positions, but now we might as well expand them and transfer border guard officers with combat experience to the center. This will maintain the combat effectiveness of the army. And the officers in the center are also adjusted to the border guards, and then they can accumulate actual combat experience, so that we can also allow the officers to maintain their combat capability. Isn't this the best of both worlds? Jingwen said.

Li Shimin nodded, this method can also be said to be the best of both worlds. The generals of the Central Army and the generals of the border guards were cross-posted. This would further avoid so-called factionalism and would also allow for the maintenance of military and civilian combat effectiveness. In this way, all the officers in the army can maintain their combat effectiveness, so that they will not be out of battle for a long time, which is very terrible for the army. Once the whole has been sparse for a long time. The army will be utterly destroyed. And when the time comes, the Central Army will not be able to suppress those border guards with strong combat effectiveness, and that will not be a good thing for the country. The armed forces have always paid attention to the strong and the weak branches. This is the foundation for the stability of the country. If the central army is so comfortable for a long time, the combat effectiveness will decline, and that is the way for the local warlords to rise.

If the border guards are not able to mix sand into it continuously for a long time, it is also very easy to form a faction of border warlords. Historically, if an army is stationed on the border for a long time, I am afraid that the border guards will form a group of military attachés of warlord groups. To deal with this situation, one is to maintain the central combat effectiveness so that they do not dare to make mistakes. And the other is constantly mixed with sand, and Jingwen's mention of yì really made Li Shimin tempted.

Even, if it weren't for the poor level of transportation in ancient times, Li Shimin would have wanted those central armies to be able to frequently exchange with the border guards as a whole, so that the soldiers could experience the atmosphere of the battlefield. However, the current conditions do not allow it, and the resources consumed by the transfer of troops in ancient times are very large, and the country cannot always afford it. Therefore, this kind of transfer of officers is also not a way to go.

"Okay, in that case, let's settle it! These trainees were first assigned to the border guards, and then after three years, they were transferred back to the center, which also assigned a group of officers to serve in the border guards. Li Shimin set the tone.

And then, according to Jingwen's mention, now Datang's goal is to focus on the Western Silk Road, so about fifty percent of the cadets of the military academy have been assigned to the Western Army. And the next face of the Western Turks, as well as the possible rise of Tibet in the future, all need to be faced by the Western Army. Jingwen knew that the future Western Army could be said to be the army most likely to obtain military merits, so letting these students go to the Western Army was also a very good channel for meritorious service. And Gao Kan, Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian, and they all went to the Western Army, because the Western Army currently needs talents.

As for the other troops, only the remaining 50 percent will be distributed, because the pressure on the defense of other units is not great. The clown in the south is not a clown, and Tianzhu does not really border the Tang Dynasty, so there is not much pressure on the southern army. The Eastern Army mainly faced Goguryeo, although Goguryeo defeated the three attacks of the Sui Dynasty, but its own losses were also very large, and it was unable to attack the Tang Dynasty. As for the Northern Expeditionary Army, it was all some sporadic Turkic resistance forces, and it was not a climate. It can be said that in the future, the greatest feats that Datang can achieve are the Western Army, and those students who go to the Western Army are the most tested. (To be continued......)
