The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Thank you all for your support for another year. I wish you a happy New Year and all the best!!!

Zhao Qi's thoughts were simple and made it clear, but the two tasks of simplifying military and government were not going well, and the progress was very slow. He saw it and was anxious in his heart. The reason why he used Li Gang as prime minister was that he was upright and dared to do it.

Dare to take responsibility; second, be brave enough to do things, dare to set a precedent in history, and build a strong leadership group. But things are not as simple as he thought. There are still undercurrents in the court to block changes. They use the opportunity of reducing their staff and officials to incite some

Those who are touched find various excuses to confront the New Deal.

Nowadays, there are a large number of hiking enemies entrenched in the Jianghuai area, Shandong and the Two Rivers. They robbed their families, captured states and palaces, and robbed the gang ships. They have affected the country's economy and regime stability, but the court officials are constantly arguing about whether to suppress or slap, and even some even have some

People concealed the truth from Zhao Qiong, but they didn't know that Zhao Qiong had an efficient and efficient intelligence system hidden in the dark, so what could be hidden from his eyes and ears?

There was a detailed information about the Yougang members on Zhao Qiong's case. Zhao Qi looked carefully and saw that after the turmoil, there were several types of citizens composed of the bandits:

The civil anti-Jin armed forces, these people were once the backbone of local rural soldiers before going to the sea. They had the impressive resume of serving the kings of Kaifeng Prefecture. After the city was broken, they formed groups to become bandits of the rivers and lakes that gathered in the mountains and forests. They were also fighting against the Jin soldiers.

Tens of thousands of regular soldiers who were defeated came to change jobs together, and they took off their military uniforms and became bandits.

After the Jin army invaded, a large number of people moved south, forming a huge group of refugees. Because of the loss of land, they became alternative residents who were blindly circulating from their normal life trajectory. As a high-risk group that affects social security and stability, these people took risks to survive.

In the mild case, the wrong way is to play the edge ball without hindering the public, and simply solve the problem of food and clothing. In the severe case, the more you become bandits who are willing to revenge, eat meat in large pieces, and share gold in large scales.

There are also ordinary people who are coerced by the bandits. Whenever the bandits capture a place, they often use the method of catching strong men to force local young men to join the army to strengthen their momentum. Although it is suspected of being a substitute, they can often play a role.

The short-term effect of coaxing. Wherever they go, they plunder the people, the old and the weak kill them, and the strong are exiled to the army. They actually follow the Jurchens, and when they face the enemy, they drive militias in front, called the "Death Army".

Although the war between the Song and Jin dynasties and the decline in national power were the main reasons for the blooming of soldiers and bandits, the improper early comfort and wrong measures undoubtedly helped fuel the fire. Some people had the dream of becoming state cadres. Joined everywhere

Militia organizations and people who have worked hard in the battle to defend Tokyo.

Because these people had experience as "gangsters", they were regarded as marginal people in social security and were not allowed to do so by the Song court. They were dismissed early and had to lead their troops south to seek life, sometimes accepting peace. Sometimes they re-enter their old careers and have been defending their territory.

The quasi-revolutionary soldier who was responsible became You Kou, who was a common occurrence in changing jobs.

Li Gang advocated the use of suppression and pacification, and quickly quelled the bandits, while some people in the court used these people to contribute to the country. They could not suppress and could only challenge them to challenge them. Li Gang had a flaw of admitting his truth, so he insisted on talking about it.

He distinguishes himself from others and argues with the truth. But he hits the minds of some people so well, but he ends up talking nonsense in the court, and the Yougang still makes trouble, but things are undecided for a long time...

The problem of elite soldiers also encountered difficulties. The military officers of the Song Dynasty may be called martial arts, martial arts, martial arts, etc. The sequence and classification of military officers have a development and evolution process. Military officers, modern marshals, and generals have at least lieutenants and other military ranks. Some similarities, but there are also major differences. Modern military ranks are only used to distinguish the ranks of military personnel within the army, but the military officers of the Song Dynasty cannot be equated with soldiers. Most military officers were through the West Court and the Third Class before the Yuanfeng Reform. The reorganized Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Minister of the Secretariat were widely granted various civil affairs dispatches. In modern sense, such military officers were of course not considered military officers.

"The official is to share the position and to describe the position" is a false title; "The chief of the palace is called military position" is a real position. The chief of the three yamen and the commander of the four wings of the capital, the generals of the capital, and the commander of the four wings of the capital, were the generals of the Yuhou. , the bureau, the custodian, etc. are all military positions. Military positions can be regarded as a type of dispatch. Military officers who are granted military positions can be regarded as military officers in a modern sense. From a legal perspective, officials who are awarded military merits can be regarded as military officers. The number of people is limited, but military positions are often subject to the quota limit, so it is impossible to set up and grant indiscriminately. Military officers are used as additional ranks for military positions and gradually combined, and the military officer series is gradually integrated into the army, which is divided and integrated with military positions. Made more complicated.

In the army, the official position and military position should be equivalent, but there are also disproportionate situations. Sometimes the soldiers of the army have two-level envoys, two-level envoys, or three-level envoys, and three-level envoys, which is exactly the case. The difference between official positions and military positions. The so-called "officials" refer to low-level military officers, such as envoys, who act as warriors. In wartime, strong people can use "requests" to escape the battle formation by using the "requests"; and in peacetime, Even if "selecting" is implemented, it cannot be eliminated, but instead doubles the soldiers and "use money and money". Due to the complex number of military ranks, etc., the complexity of military relocation and replenishment of military positions is also increased. sex.

Everyone knows the disadvantages, but once they are involved in their own interests, they are all wronged. If one job is less, one salary will be less. The gap between civil and military officials also makes some military officers reluctant to give up their civil service. They are slow to go, After many court discussions, the problem could not be solved, so Zhao Qi became anxious.

Zhao Qiong had already urged the establishment of martial arts several times, but they were all discussed but not decided, and finally they were left unresolved. Zhao Qiong knew that under the style of worshipping culture and suppressing martial arts, the Song Dynasty did not pay attention to the culture of military generals. Many military squads and those who came from military merits were born. , can be ignorant of the eyes. Liu Guangshi is still the son of the general, but he cannot even write. Han Shizhong cannot write or write, but Yue Feinu?p>

The foundation is that the previous emperors were very suspicious of military generals. In fact, they regarded this behavior as a general's ambition. Although they set up martial arts and martial arts, they were not intended to be used to seriously cultivate military talents. Zhao Qiong I don’t want to be bothered with them. Since the Ministry of War is unwilling to do it, I will seize your power. He immediately appointed Zhao Li as the official of the Privy Council to expand the military academy based on the Datong Military Academy.

Zhao Li immediately took action and built a staff school, infantry school, cavalry school, baggage school, military medical school and veterinary school in Xijing Luoyang in just over a month. He also planned a naval school in Dengzhou and began to work in various armies. The middle school recruits students and prepares for the start of school after the New Year. Of course, Zhao Qiong strongly supported it, wrote the school name separately and allocated special funds to authorize him to select teachers and students from the entire army. Graduated students are equivalent to Imperial College. Those with excellent grades can directly teach official.

On the issue of military reorganization, Li Gang held several special meetings and finally reached a unified opinion. However, the result made Zhao Qi very dissatisfied and criticized the word "farting" and sent it back to the Shangshu Province for reproducibility. These people followed the past

The practices of previous dynasties believed that cavalry spend too much and their combat effectiveness were low, so the development of infantry should be given priority.

Zhao Qi's move immediately aroused dissatisfaction among the court officials, and wrote letters to quote classics and debated with him, but he never left Fan Zhongyan's "Cabinets may not be profitable since ancient times", "The horses along the border were hundreds of millions of brigades, and the soldiers were eliminated after being dismissed.

If you do it, you will trap China." Shen Kuo's "thinked that the Khitan horse was born, and the people were practicing cavalry warfare", but the Song Dynasty "benefited from the powerful crossbow" and "spend my skills and could barely be able to fight against his natural property. It has never been heard of

It can defeat others."

As Song Qi said, "The horse will damage the horse and make the steps more", "I believe that the court and the enemy will attack each other, and will not pursue them in depth, and beat them away. When they reach the situation, they will stop, but they will not wait for the horse, and the steps will be available."

In addition to the cost of a large amount of money, from the Five Dynasties to the Song Dynasty, "the cost of a knight can be calculated, and five infantrymen can be supported", or "one horse in the border town is given, and three infantrymen are used as one infantrymen". It is natural to form and train cavalrymen.

A huge investment. These have become an important reason why many scholars and officials opposed strengthening cavalry construction.

The ministers in the court did not advocate the development of cavalry, but only reflected the short-sightedness of the literati and officials, and did not attach importance to cavalry construction. It happened to be a part of the traditional passive defense strategy of the Song Dynasty. I thought that there was "a few horses in the Song Dynasty, but people were not accustomed to riding"

The shortcomings of the thief came, "whenever the thief came, the court often used the enemy's strengths to defeat him. Therefore, ten battles and ten losses were lost, and there was little reason to win." These certainly had some truth at that time.

Zhao Qi immediately criticized him for his bad luck in riding and shooting, and he could improve through training and war. When Liao, Xixia, Jin and others held large-scale battles, they often concentrated tens of thousands or even more than one hundred thousand cavalry, while infantry were only responsible for transportation.

, trenches and other tasks. Cavalry as assault troops, can be used in a concentrated manner and can exert great power. Emperor Wu of Han sent Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and others to compete with the Huns, and it was precisely the strategy of forming and concentrated use of large cavalry forces that could penetrate into Hexi.

He drove far away from the north of the Mo and achieved combat effectiveness that was impossible to achieve in the past with infantry combat.

However, it was the Song people who had long adopted the traditional strategy of infantry as the main one, and did not understand the importance of forming large cavalry troops and concentrated use, and scattered cavalry on various battlefields and units as vassals of infantry. Although overall, it was a vassal of infantry.

In terms of total number, the cavalry of the Song Dynasty did not necessarily have to be at a disadvantage or absolute disadvantage, but in various battlefields or battles, they generally have to be at a disadvantage or absolute disadvantage. The so-called "the enemy's strengths are short of what they want, so ten losses are rare in ten battles and ten losses.

"Really, it actually refers to the situation where cavalry is used scattered on the battlefield or in battles.

In short, it is precisely because of the lack of horses, poor cavalry training, and the dispersed use during combat that have become one of the important factors that determine the military fortune of the Song Empire. Nowadays, Yunzhou and the rivers are all places where horses are produced, and buying a lot of money has become

In the past, the series of victories achieved by the ZTE army were a powerful refutation of their nonsense...

"Is it because I'm lenient?" Zhao Qiong was very angry at the work style of the court, and Li Gang was helpless when he was held up everywhere. He wanted to make a smooth transition, but it was difficult step by step. He couldn't help but think...
