Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 267 Military Academy
After resting overnight, Qin Zi's spirit was obviously much better.After breakfast, invite Wang Xiaolie and Chen Qiudao to the official hall to discuss matters.

After saluting, Wang Xiaolie and Chen Qiudao took their seats respectively.

Qin Zi said: "At the beginning of the month, Fan Xianggong was the prime minister, and he suggested that the generals should divide the towns into different places, so this edict came. This is a study of the law of the Tang Dynasty, so that the generals guard the place, and the country has no worries about foreign enemies. Wang Guan has made two contributions this year. He is a rare general. Some people suggested that you should recruit observers to go to the line, and there is no appointment. Fan Xianggong said that the capitals of the western capitals now depend on the guard of the army of observers, and they should not be moved lightly."

Wang Xiaolie cupped his hands and saluted: "Fan Xianggong said so."

Qin Zi said: "Fan Xianggong is from Xiangyang, and there are family members in his hometown. I heard that they want to join Xianggong. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Yes. A few days ago, I went to the Lumen Temple to hold a ceremony for the soldiers who died in battle. There are many northern scholars and officials who fled in the temple, among them are members of Fan Xianggong's clan."

Qin Zi nodded.Said: "Before I left, Fan Xianggong entrusted me to take care of the clansmen. If anyone wants to go south but the road is impassable, try to help them. Since they are in Lumen Temple, it will be easy to handle. You can send people to Liangzhe for observation. Dedicated to Xianggong."

Wang Xiaolie said yes.

Fan Zongyin was born in Dengcheng, Xiangyang, and was a Jinshi during the Xuanhe period.The Jin people went south to encircle Kaifeng, and Fan Zongyin was an important official of the peace sect.The Jin people captured the two emperors and returned to the north. Zhang Bangchang was established, and Fan Zongyin was the right admonition doctor.Sent by Zhang Bangchang, he went to Yingtianfu in Nanjing as an envoy to urge Zhao Gou to take the throne.Because Fan Zongyin insisted on negotiating peace with the Jin people and opposed Li Gang as prime minister, he was demoted from the court.Last year, he was called to the office of Zhongshu Sheren, and was soon promoted to Yushi Zhongcheng and participated in politics.Lu Yihao was kicked out of the imperial court earlier this month, and Fan Zongyin, at the age of 31, is the youngest prime minister in the dynasty.

It can be seen from Fan Zongyin's experience that Zhao Gou has been looking for a prime minister of the peace faction to assist in handling the government affairs.When Qin Hui returned to the court, he and Zhao Gou could be said to be on good terms.Now that Qin Hui has not returned to the country, it is the time when Fan Zongyin is full of ambition.

After a few gossips, Qin Zi said: "From Dengzhou to Luoyang, I remember passing through Lushan Pass and passing through Ruzhou. Zhai observes Fengniu Shanzhai in Yiyang County, should he also go through Lushan Pass? The road is peaceful. ?”

Wang Xiaolie said: "You can go to Fengniu Village from Tangchi in Lushan County, but the distance is long and the mountain road is difficult. The most convenient way is to go from Neixiang County to Luanchuan County via the mountain road and then to Fengniu Village. It’s the same way to exchange official documents with Zhai.”

Qin Zi nodded and thought for a while.Luanchuan no longer belongs to Jingxi Road, but belongs to Guozhou on Shaanxi Road.At the beginning of the year, Wang Xiao hunted and rescued Shanzhou, and he was familiar with this road, but he didn't know if it was suitable for him.

Zhai Xing was in Fengniu Village, threatening Luoyang in Xijing, which was a very big threat to the Jin army.Especially when Zhao Gou went south and was defeated everywhere in the world, the brothers of the Zhai family made many meritorious deeds, and their status in the court was very important.So this time when Qin Zi came to the north, Zhao Gou asked him to meet Zhai Xing in person and reward him face to face.The rewards given are actually more than Wang Xiaolie.

After asking about the geography of the neighborhood in detail, and when Wang Ruohai would arrive in Xiangyang, Wang Xiaolie and Chen Qiudao left.

After leaving the official hall, Chen Qiudao said: "Looking at the appearance of Editor Qin, he doesn't care too much about whether we accept the imperial edict or how to deal with it."

Wang Xiaolie said: "The envoy is like a feudal town. The imperial decree also specifically mentions that great achievements can be hereditary. How many people are willing to give up such a good condition? In the eyes of the imperial court, I am afraid that everyone is vying to be the first."

Chen Qiudao nodded, then shook his head again.According to the practice of the Song Dynasty, and from the perspective of the person who gave the gift, I am afraid that this matter will not go so smoothly.Not to mention, since it is analogous to feudal towns, killings between feudal towns are indispensable.Without an army in hand, this official position is really meaningless.

Qin Zi returned to his residence, sat at the table, and couldn't help sighing.Along the way, it can't be seen that the officials are not very interested in Feng's pacifier.Unlike the officials who went to Huainan and southern Hubei, on my journey, except for Wang Xiaolie, I mainly faced former government officials.These people are politically sensitive, so they naturally understand that it is not a good thing to seal off the township envoy, and many people are even unhappy.

The place where the Fushi was sealed off was either on the front line or was beaten to death by the Jin army, and the court was beyond its power for a while.It's a good thing, why didn't the important officials of the imperial court seal the Fushi?Why didn't the imperial court seal the township envoys in places controlled by the imperial court?

From yesterday to today, Qin Zi could tell that both Wang Xiaolie and Chen Qiudao were relatively indifferent to this matter.Even judging from what Chen Qiudao said, he didn't want to go to Fuzhou.As an imperial envoy, Qin Zi didn't want to intervene, nor did he have the energy to intervene.As long as I send the imperial decree, what I do next has nothing to do with me.

Entering De'an Mansion, Qin Zi found that it was different from other places.Compared with Ezhou and other places, De'an Prefecture is more stable, and the people's lives are peaceful.After entering Suizhou, this feeling is even stronger.When I arrived in Xiangyang, I realized that this place is stable and prosperous, and there is no place in Zhejiang and Zhejiang that can compare with this place.Within hundreds of miles centered on Xiangyang, Qin Zi felt that there was no need to set up a township envoy.

Thinking of this, Qin Zi shook his head helplessly.How can a policy take care of everything?

Wang Xiaolie returned to the study, sat by the desk and lost his mind for a while.He ordered the soldiers to call Chen Yuyi over.

Chen Yuyi entered the study room to salute.Wang Xiaolie told him to sit aside.

Tea was served.Chen Yuyi said: "The observation called the subordinate officials, what orders do you have?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Emissary Chen Yun doesn't want to go to Fuzhou to serve as the governor, so there is no serious problem. There is no need to spend your thoughts on it. The most important thing now is to rectify the army. To formally establish a military academy."

"Military school? What is this?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "When we expand the army, we require recruits to enter the new barracks, and officers need to be trained. This place for training officers will be called a military academy in the future. Why is it called a military academy? In fact, it is an academy for years before school, with additional disciplines. specially trained officers."

Chen Yuyi nodded.He asked again: "The training of generals in the army has always been selected from the army, so why set up a special school?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "The officers we are selecting now are actually from civilians. If you don't teach them, how will they know how to lead troops? In the past, the imperial court also had a bow and horse institute for children, and there were squadrons in front of the palace. It was a certain type of military academy. Discussion, the schools we set up are different from the previous state schools and county schools. We need to select special teachers for special knowledge and provide teaching assistance. After learning from the school, you basically have to do something. For example Once you get out of the military academy, you can be a basic officer.”

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaolie emphasized his tone: "The school is different from the previous teaching. This must be understood by the students and the teachers. In the past, the imperial court selected talents. It is useless. There are many reasons, but the most important one is that the imperial examination is not suitable for the selection of military officers. Once the military academy is established, the military examination will be cancelled, and all officers will come from here in the future.”

Chen Yuyi said: "If soldiers have made meritorious service on the battlefield, how can they be promoted?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "As long as there is an opportunity, you must send it to the military academy to study. Only after you have completed your studies can you be promoted to an officer. If not, you will only be credited with meritorious service and rewarded for your meritorious service, but you cannot be promoted to an officer!"

Chen Yuyi was stunned for a moment, and wanted to refute, but he didn't know what to refute.

Wang Xiaolie said: "The next reorganization of the whole army is an important item. You have to arrange it in advance."

Chen Yuyi promised.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Actually, it's not just military academies, many other technical fields can also set up specialized schools. That's all, we will discuss this matter in detail after the meeting is released."

After the issuance and meeting, and the establishment of a bank, social development will slowly enter the right track.In Wang Xiaolie's plan, various schools should also be put on the agenda.Make sure that as long as you are willing to learn, you can enter the school.If you do well in school, you will have a job.
