Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 341 Changing the Military System
Zhang Jun looked at everyone in Ruanjiazhuang, Caikou Town, and said, "I just came back from Caizhou, and I met the new Xie Zhizhou. Xie Zhizhou said, observing Junzhi, ordered us to destroy it within two months and now occupy Beiwu Town. Feng Hui and others. Xie Zhizhou believes that it doesn’t take as long as two months, but only one and a half months to accomplish this. One and a half months, we don’t have much time.”

Liu Jingdao: "Xie Zhizhou is so incomprehensible! We are close to Chenzhou here, and we have to cross the county to Beiwu Town. It is a lot of trouble! It will be completed in one and a half months, isn't it deliberately embarrassing us?"

Zhang Jun glanced at Liu Jing sideways, and said: "I advise you, don't speak strange things behind Xie Zhizhou's back in the future. Xie Zhizhou is not as easy-talking as Wang Zhizhou. And he is very small-minded and likes to hold grudges. I offended him." , You forgot, he still keeps a small account! In the past, when I first joined the army, I didn’t know Xie Zhizhou’s temperament, and I offended him with a sentence in front of me. I would turn around and ignore such trivial matters. I remember. How did I know, hehe, almost a year later, when Yang Jin was wiped out, he ordered me to lead a few people to scout out the enemy’s situation and deliberately harmed me. Fortunately, my grandfather was lucky and survived, and he was still alive. The credit comes back. I remembered that time, I would rather offend the observer than offend him!"

Several people listened, you looked at me, I looked at you, and looked at Zhang Jun together.Asked, "If so, what should we do?"

Zhang Jundao: "What can be done? As long as there is an order from Xiezhizhou, it must be done honestly. Outside, be careful and don't be as ostentatious as before. I reckon that the observation is also because I am afraid of Xiezhizhou, so I specially sent him Come to Caizhou. Everyone, be careful about everything that can be passed back! I have a different identity, and I have a name in front of me. I am not much worse than Xie Zhizhou. If I really committed a crime, Xie Zhizhou may not be able to get me. As for you, you can only lament your own bad luck if you were killed by Xie Zhizhou!"

Among Wang Xiaolie's first few generals, Shao Ling and Xie Linong had the highest military literacy, followed by Cao Zhiyan, and Yu Huan again.Because Xie Linong is small-minded and cruel, Wang Xiaolie dare not put him in a particularly important position.Cao Zhiyan is slightly inferior in military affairs, but he is loyal, honest and cautious, and his status is actually more important.

But as long as he doesn't make a big mistake, Wang Xiaolie will still use them.With Zhang Jun's temperament, only Xie Linong can deal with him.

Everyone discussed for a while, and asked Zhang Jun together: "What should we do?"

Zhang Jundao: "Use three days to arrange the rear affairs. Three days later, set off for Yancheng, and prepare to work in Beiwu Town. Ten days later, Xie Zhizhou will go to Yancheng to direct the matter in person. So I advise you, this time This time, we must be careful not to mess with Zhizhou! This year, both Shao Tongzhi and Niu Tongzhi have become generals, and their authority has become more and more serious. Xie Zhizhou is unconvinced in his eyes. This time, he wants to make some contributions and let the observers see At first glance, he is actually not bad. If you have done meritorious service, it is naturally good. Once something goes wrong, Xie Zhizhou will not spare you!"

Everyone nodded together.Zhang Jun has a lawless temperament, and he is so cautious, which shows that Xie Zhizhou really cannot be offended.

Xiangyang Wang Xiaolie's pacification envoy, Si Yamen, and the staff office to the west, gathered a large number of high-ranking officials.

Wang Xiaolie said to Wang Ruohai: "The Zhenfu Division is now separated from the military and administration. The east is in charge of civil affairs, and the west is in charge of military administration. From now on, the yamen in the west will be under the control of the Senate. The east will be under the control of Chen Qiudao, and another office will be set up for the one under Chen Yuyi's control. .”

Wang Ruohai wondered: "Aside from military and civil affairs, what else is there? We need to set up a separate hall."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Supervision. Whether it's the army or the civilians, since there are officials, there must be supervision. In the past, it was a transfer envoy, but now there is no supervisor under the emissary, so we have to appoint another official."

Chen Yuyi said: "I have been in charge of the west for many days, and the governor has been dissatisfied, so I had to ask Councilor Wang to come back. I am ashamed to say it!"

Wang Xiaolie shook his head with a smile: "You can't think like this. Each of us has something suitable for us to do, and we are not qualified for any position. I asked you to manage the west government office for a few months. It's my fault that I didn't check what you are suitable for. For the government, supervision is extremely important, and I can't emphasize it enough. I will build a government office for you in a few days, and take care of this matter."

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaolie said again: "Actually, I still want to build an official hall, but I haven't thought about it for a while. I will talk about it in a few days."

Chen Qiudao asked: "What kind of official office is needed? Now the Zhenfu Shi is like a military town, and is in charge of one side. It is right to set up three official offices of military administration, civil affairs, and supervisors like the imperial court, just like the political affairs hall, the Privy Council, and the imperial censor. What's the point of setting up another hall?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Of course we are in charge of all of us. In the court, there are not only the Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Council and the Yushitai, but also the Ming Hall, and the Heaven and Earth Altar. We obey the orders of the court, so we don't need to set up these, but similar institutions There should still be."

Chen Qiudao waved his hands again and again: "This is an arrogance, absolutely not!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "So I haven't figured out how to set it up for the time being, I'll talk about it later. I will guard one side, and I will not do anything that is presumptuous."

Chen Qiudao thought about it, but shook his head.Obviously disagree with what Wang Xiaolie said.

Wang Xiaolie smiled and didn't say anything more about it.

Niu Gao asked: "I don't know what the investigation called us for today? I thought there was something important, but I didn't find anything when I came in and talked about it. It's really puzzling."

Wang Xiaolie said: "One is that Wang Sensui returned to Xiangyang, and we will not accept him. Another one is that Liu Yu proclaims himself emperor in the Daming Mansion. Many things will be different next, and everyone needs to discuss it."

Chen Qiudao clapped his hands: "Liu Yu is such a shameless traitor, he is really insane! He obeys the golden man, has he forgotten Zhang Bangchang!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "As soon as the Jin man left, Zhang Bangchang immediately returned to the Queen Mother Meng. The official can order death, but Liu Yu can't do it. With Zhang Bangchang's lesson, the Jin man will definitely not be the same as before. So I Say, let’s discuss it.”

A few people sat outside the staff hall, and the soldiers behind were busy cleaning up.

Looking at Wang Ruohai, Wang Xiaolie said: "When the councilor comes back, he is mainly in charge of the staff office behind me. Most of the rest of the yamen in the west are subordinate to the staff office. Compared with before, I have changed the yamen here again. The Jiyi Office is directly subordinate to the General Staff Office, and Jiyi is written as a member of the Senate, and no other yamen will be set up. The Ordnance Office will remain unchanged, and will be in charge of the military staff. At the same time, it is in charge of mobilization under the rule. In addition, a logistics office will be added to be in charge of food, roads and other matters. In addition to this, there is also a combat office, which is directly under the staff office together with the opportunity office, and there is no separate yamen. It is necessary to set up a training department, which is in charge of the daily training of the army, the formulation and inspection of military affairs, etc. The staff office is formed by the machine and operations office, plus the staff of other agencies in the staff office. In addition, ordnance, logistics, mobilization, training, etc. Together with the Yamen, it is the headquarters of the Zhenfu Envoy. In addition, there are also officials, security and medical bureaus here, which I will directly manage."

Wang Ruohai was stunned when he heard this.When I returned to Xiangyang to work, I never expected that the following would be so complicated.After thinking for a while, he asked: "Zhenfu, there are so many yamen, but it's different from before."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Of course it is different. We want to build a new army, an army that can fight, and an army that is closely connected with the people. This army is not only different from the previous Forbidden Army, but also different from other armies different."

"Why?" Wang Ruohai asked.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Because since Emperor Daojun, apart from his military achievements in the west, facing Khitan and Jurchen, the imperial army has been defeated one after another, and they can't even fight! How can we get rid of the Jinlu without major changes!"

Chen Qiudao said: "I shouldn't have said anything about the arrangement of the governor. It's just that the changes are too big, and I'm afraid it won't go well for a while. Moreover, the number of officers will increase too much. The increased salary is worse than recruiting more soldiers."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Whether there are many officers or not depends on whether these officers are useful, not how many people there are and how much money they spent. Let's settle this matter first. After a year, we will see if these officers are useful. Bar."

Returning to Ruzhou this time, Wang Xiaolie finally figured it out and got out of his own ideological predicament.Many things, which were cautious before, are now drastic.Not only the military system needs to be changed, but the political system also needs to be changed this time.It's not because I'm bold, but because I finally understand what I want to do and how to do it.
