Chapter 295 Martial Arts and Martial Arts!
"Literati learn martial arts! It's nonsense!"

"We are the disciples of saints, how can we fight like vulgar warriors!"

"There are specialists in art, and literati are officials, and warriors are generals. This has been a custom since ancient times. If literati are allowed to join the army, it will be a big joke in the world."

....................................

All the officials in the court were in an uproar, and they all angrily criticized Fan Zheng.

From their point of view, Fan Zheng's actions were simply scoundrels.

It's like saying, you literati don't use literature to control martial arts. If that's the case, let you literati go out on their own.

Even Zhao Xu couldn't help touching his forehead and sighing, 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 he referring to Sang and Huai. General Di Qingdi made a lot of contributions back then, but his treatment is far from that of Mr. Han Qi who has made equal contributions. Dear."

All the officials were silent, because what Fan Zheng said was true. Back then, the civil servants excluded Di Qing like this.

"If a warrior is mediocre, he will not be able to protect his family and country. If a warrior is brave enough to kill the enemy, he will be jealous of the court. The court wants to make the army invincible, but at the same time it will crowd out the generals. This is a paradox and is impossible to achieve." Fan Zheng shook his head and said. .

Su Song sighed slightly, he understood that what Fan Zheng said hit the key point of the Great Song Dynasty, but how the literati practiced martial arts sounded outrageous.

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

Fan Zheng put it another way: "I'll let the generals learn literature. In this way, the generals will understand the way of saints and will be loyal to the court."

All the officials of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but sneered: "The military general is vulgar, how can he understand the learning of the sage."

Fan Zheng spread his hands and said: "Since civil servants don't understand martial arts, and generals don't understand the way of sages, Fan suggested that we can take the best of the two and discard the dross, so as to completely solve the shortcomings of the Great Song Dynasty's emphasizing literature over martial arts."

"How do you say that?" Zhao Xu asked.

"Weichen once served as the supervisor of Pingxia City, specializing in the audit of merits, crimes, rewards and punishments. He found that supervisors are often dispatched temporarily. Although they are dispatched before the war and leave after the war, they are short-lived, but they are indispensable. Weichen thinks it can The role of the supervisory army can be greater, for example, the supervisory army can be permanently stationed in the army." Fan Zheng said solemnly.

"The supervisory army is permanently stationed in the army!"

All the officials in the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help being taken aback, they didn't expect Fan Zheng to come up with such an incredible suggestion.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "The court believes that civil servants are loyal and military generals are good at fighting. If it is better to form a dual-officer system in the army, there will always be a general and a military supervisor in the army. The general is a military man, and the military supervisor is a literati. Sit on an equal footing."

"No, there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the army. If the military orders are inconsistent, it will definitely lead to disaster." Zeng Bu was the first to object.

Other literati also frowned. Although they believe in using literature to control military forces, they also know that fighting is not a child's play. If there are two masters in the army, it will 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 at the same level, their division of labor is different. The general is naturally the leader of the army, and is mainly responsible for combat deployment and planning, as well as training soldiers; The task of the army is to be responsible for military life, to cultivate the fighting spirit of the soldiers, to declare the loyalty of the soldiers to the officials, to defend the family and the country, and to reward and punish the army, so as to ensure that the army has a strong combat effectiveness and is in the court. Under control."

All the court officials heard the words and couldn't help discussing, whispering to each other about the role of the permanent supervisory army.

However, after discussing for a long time, they found that this may be the only way to solve the disadvantages of using words to control weapons.

"What if the supervisor and the general disagree?" Lu Dafang frowned.

"It's very simple! As long as it's military matters, everyone listens to the general, and the supervisor is responsible for other matters." Fan Zheng said straightforwardly.

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

"Maybe this strategy is feasible!" Su Song nodded in agreement first.

The Song Dynasty pursued the use of literature to control military forces, because it was afraid of generals rebelling. If there is a permanent supervisor in the army and a dual-official system is formed with the generals, it is enough to limit the rebellion of generals to the greatest extent and ensure the military force.

The other officials were also moved. All along, the eunuchs in the palace have been in charge of supervising the army. If they can be replaced by civil officials, then the power of civil officials will naturally be further improved.

However, Fan Zheng continued: "However, what Fan said about literati practicing martial arts is not empty talk. If you want to supervise the army and let the entire army submit to the court, it is not enough to rely on literature alone. You must have both civil and military skills, know martial arts, and understand the art of war. Train together, otherwise you will have no strength to restrain the chicken, how will you convince the crowd!"

"In times of war, the supervising army must also set an example and serve the court with all their lives. If the general dies in battle, the supervising army will be on top! Avoid the situation where the main general dies 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 entire army. In history, there are many cases where the general was killed and the whole army was defeated. With the existence of the supervising army, the army has double insurance .

"Besides, generals' learning and writing can go hand in hand. The Great Song Dynasty not only needs heroes who are brave and good at fighting, but naturally also needs handsome talents who are loyal to the emperor and patriotism. I suggest expanding the scale of martial arts and focusing on martial arts!" Fan Zheng suggested.

"Pay attention to martial arts!"

All the officials in the dynasty couldn't help but froze. The Song Dynasty was not without military examinations. However, under the idea of ​​using civility to control military affairs, most of the military examinations were to test the art of war, and force was second. For a long time, the military examinations were almost abandoned, and the army There is a huge gap between the Chinese heroes.

And Fan Zheng proposed to establish a permanent post of military supervisor, so that martial arts can be used.

"In addition, we need to promote outstanding young soldiers from the army, and send them to martial arts to learn the art of war and strategy, and learn to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism. In the future, all generals in the army will come from martial arts and martial arts. The cornerstone of the Song Dynasty's conquest of the Quartet."

Fan Zheng said proudly.

"Both civil and military!"

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

The generals in the army are both civil and military. They can fight south and north, and they are also loyal to the emperor and patriotic. At the same time, there is a system of generals and military superintendents who supervise and cooperate with each other.

"Do you think it is feasible at this moment?"

Zhao Xu looked around at the ministers and asked loudly.

"You can try it!" Zhang Dun said solemnly.

He knew that the military reform this time was even more important than the previous Baojia Law and General Military Law. Affect the imperial court's national policy of emphasizing literature over military affairs.

The ministers looked at each other and nodded slowly.

Zhao Xu immediately waved his hand and said: "Decree, the imperial court will open the martial arts envoy again, recruit talents with both civil and military skills, order Qingtang to let Yao Xiong garrison Qingtang, and Zhong Pu will lead the soldiers who have made great achievements in this battle to come to Kaifeng to study martial arts."

"The officials are wise!"

Fan Zhenggong said.

The court has changed from suppressing the generals who planted Pu Yaoxiong to ordering the generals to study martial arts. It has changed from using literature to control military affairs to integrating civil and military affairs. This will be a big leap for the Great Song Dynasty to change the weak Song Dynasty. .
