"Literati learn martial arts! Nonsense! ”

"We are the children of saints, how can we fight like a vulgar martial artist!"

"There is a specialization in the art industry, the literati are officials, and the warriors are generals, this is a custom since ancient times, if the literati are allowed to join the army, it is simply a big joke in the world."

………………………………

The officials of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar and reprimanded Fan Zheng angrily.

In their opinion, Fan Zheng's move is simply a scoundrel.

It's like saying that you literati don't use literature to control force, in that case, just let your literati go out on their own.

Even Zhao Xu couldn't help but sigh, he knew that as long as Fan Zheng was allowed to come out, there would definitely be an evil party.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "Fan is not talking nonsense, nor is it referring to Sang scolding Huai, General Di Qingdi made a lot of contributions back then, but it is far from the treatment of Han Qi, who has equal merits. ”

The officials were silent, because what Fan Zheng said was the truth, and the civil officials were so excluded from Di Qing back then.

"If the warriors are mediocre, they can't defend the country, and the warriors fight bravely to kill the enemy, they are suspicious of the imperial court, and the imperial court wants to make the army invincible, and on the other hand, it is a paradox that it is impossible to achieve." Fan Zheng shook his head and said.

Su Song sighed slightly, he understood that what Fan Zheng said was the key point of the Great Song Dynasty, but how outrageous it was for literati to practice martial arts.

"A scholar has no power to restrain the chicken, how to fight the enemy, this strategy will not work at all!" Zhao Xu shook his head and said.

Fan Zheng said in another way: "I will let the military generals learn literature, so that the military generals will understand the way of the saints and will naturally be loyal to the imperial court." ”

The officials of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but say with disdain: "The military generals are vulgar, how can they understand the learning of the saints." ”

Fan Zheng spread his hands and said: "Since Wenchen does not understand martial arts, and military generals do not understand the way of saints, Fan proposed that the essence of the two can be taken from the two to remove their dross, so as to completely solve the disadvantages of the Great Song Dynasty's emphasis on literature and light on martial arts." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhao Xu asked.

"Wechen once served as the supervisor of Pingxia City, specializing in the audit of merit and crime, rewards and punishments, and found that the superintendent army is often sent temporarily, and the pre-war dispatch and post-war departure time are short, but they are indispensable, and Wechen believes that the role of supervising the army can be greater, such as stationing the superintendent army in the permanent army." Fan Zheng said solemnly.

"In the Permanent Garrison of the Overseers!"

The officials of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but be stunned, they didn't expect Fan Zheng to make such an incredible suggestion.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "The DPRK and China believe that civilian officials are loyal and military generals are good at fighting, so if they form a two-officer system in the army, there are permanent positions of general and supervisor in the army, the general is held by the military, and the supervisor of the army is held by the literati, and the two are on an equal footing." ”

"No, there are no two days, there are no two masters of the army, if the military orders are not consistent, it will definitely cause a catastrophe." Zeng Bu was the first to object.

Other literati also frowned, although they believed in the use of literature to control the military, but they also knew that fighting was not child's play, and if there were two masters in the army, it would definitely cause disputes.

Fan Zheng explained: "Of course, it is not that there are two masters in the army, although the general and the supervising army are of the same rank, but their division of labor is different, the general is naturally the head of the army, mainly responsible for combat deployment and planning, as well as training soldiers; The task of the supervising army is to be responsible for military life, cultivate the fighting spirit of the soldiers, declare the loyalty of the soldiers to the official family, protect the family and defend the country, and the rewards and punishments in the army, so as to ensure that the army has strong combat effectiveness and is under the control of the court. ”

When the officials of the court heard this, they couldn't help but talk about it, and discussed the role of the permanent supervision army one after another.

However, after a long discussion, it was discovered that this may be the only way to solve the disadvantages of using civilian forces to control force.

"What if there is a disagreement between the overseer and the general?" Lu Dafang frowned.

"It's easy! As long as it is the military aspect, it is the general's responsibility, and the other aspects are responsible for the supervising army. Fan was straightforward.

The other officials brought the questions in their hearts one by one, and Fan Zhengjun answered them one by one.

"Maybe it works!" Su Song took the lead and nodded in agreement.

If the army has a permanent superintendent and a dual official system with the general, it is enough to limit the rebellion of the generals to the greatest extent and ensure the strength of the army.

Other officials are also excited, all along, the prison army has been held by eunuchs in the palace, if it can be replaced by civilian officials, it will naturally make the power of civil officials go further.

However, Fan Zheng continued: "However, what Fan said about the literati practicing martial arts is not empty words, if you want to supervise the army and let the soldiers of the whole army return to the imperial court, it is not enough to rely on literary talent alone, you must be both civil and military, know martial arts, understand the art of war, and train with soldiers in peacetime, otherwise you will have no power to restrain the chicken, how to serve the public!" ”

"In times of war, the prison army must also lead by example and serve the court to the death. Avoid a situation in which the main general is killed in battle and the whole army collapses. ”

Fan Zheng said solemnly.

Zhao Xu's eyes lit up, during the war, the role of the chief general can be said to be the backbone of the whole army, in history, the main general was killed, and the whole army was defeated.

"In addition, the study of military generals can also go hand in hand, the Great Song Dynasty needs both heroic and warlike generals, and naturally also needs loyal and patriotic handsome talents, Weichen suggested expanding the scale of martial arts and attaching importance to martial arts!" Fan Zheng proposed.

"Pay attention to martial arts!"

The Manchu Dynasty hundred officials couldn't help but condense, the Great Song Dynasty was not without martial arts, but under the idea of using literature to control martial arts, most of the martial arts were mostly based on the art of war, and the military force was secondary.

And Fan Zheng proposed the position of permanent superintendent, so that Wuju could be used.

"In addition, it is also necessary to promote outstanding young soldiers from the army, send them to martial arts to learn the art of war, learn to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, and in the future, all the generals in the army will come from martial arts and martial arts, and the generals will be both civil and military, which is the cornerstone of my Great Song Dynasty's conquest of the Quartet."

Fan Zheng said proudly.

"Both civil and military!"

Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel excited, and at this moment, he finally understood what Fan Zheng meant by the integration of civil and military.

At the same time, there is also a system of generals and military supervisors, supervising and cooperating with each other, so that the drawbacks of using civil and military forces to control military force will be completely cured.

"Do you think it's feasible at this moment?"

Zhao Xu looked around at the ministers and asked loudly.

"You can give it a try!" Zhang Dian said solemnly.

He knew that this time the change of military law was more important than the previous law of protecting the armor and the art of war, and the law of protecting the armor and the art of war were only minor repairs to the military system of the Great Song Dynasty, and the establishment of a supervising army and the integration of civil and military affairs of the generals would greatly affect the national policy of the imperial court of emphasizing literature and light on military force.

The ministers glanced at each other and nodded slowly.

Zhao Xu waved his hand at the moment and said: "Spread the decree, the imperial court will open the martial arts again, recruit the talents of both civil and military, and order Qingtang, let Yao Xiong garrison Qingtang, and lead the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions in this battle to come to Kaifeng to learn martial arts." ”

"The official is wise!"

Fan Zhenggong said.

The court has changed from suppressing the generals of Pu Yaoxiong to making the generals enter the martial arts for further study, and has changed from the combination of civil and military to the integration of civil and military, which will be a big leap for the Great Song Dynasty to change the pattern of the weak Song Dynasty.
