Of course, in order to prevent military generals from promoting private individuals and forming small groups, Zhao Bing had other measures. For example, recruiting new recruits is the responsibility of the Ministry of War, and receiving half a year of basic military training and professional training at each new training base, and then transferring them according to the lack of staff in each department. Grassroots officers come from talents and scholars selected by each department, but they all need to study martial arts. After completing the study, they will be disbanded and assigned to each department to avoid "inbreeding" in each department.

Zhao Bing is also very cautious in the appointment of intermediate officers as the backbone of the army. In addition to selecting officers from the imperial guards to "mix sand" to various departments in the name of communication. From junior officers to intermediate officers, the primary officers are also required to leave the post and conduct promotion training for half a year to one year in martial arts. Although there is a saying that there is a way to go, it is generally not the chief officer of the original unit, but cross-serving within the scope of the headquarters.

For the division, the power of promotion and transfer of senior officers above the brigade commander is said to be in the Ministry of War, but in fact the power of nomination is in the Privy Council, the power of investigation is in the Ministry of War, and the power of confirmation is in the hands of Zhao Bing. The appointment of senior generals of the army above the brigade commander is completely controlled by the emperor, and even the prime minister of the dynasty cannot interfere, let alone the Ministry of Personnel. At most, they only have the power to constituents and leave names on the decree.

Although the division and brigade level have the power to select and appoint sergeants and allocate officers below the head of the head, it also needs to sign together with the Du Yuhou and report to the superiors. The military-level troops have the power to appoint and punish officers below the commander, and must also file with the Ministry of War. Of course, during wartime, their power will be relaxed to supplement the damage to the war and deal with illegal acts, but they must also promptly explain the reasons to the superiors afterwards and obtain confirmation.

Therefore, the system formulated by Zhao Bing avoided civil officials interfering in the military's personnel power to a certain extent, and made it difficult for each department to take advantage of the relationship between the people and colleagues to form interest groups, resulting in a large-scale situation, which made it impossible for them to take all the troops away if they wanted to rebel or surrender to the enemy.

In addition, the separation of military and political affairs also makes the two systems of civil and military clear. Local officials will not be controlled by the military without orders, and the military will not have the right to interfere in local affairs. Moreover, all military expenditure comes from the court, so that the military will not be controlled by the local government because of food and money. This makes the possibility of colluding with each other and separating the other party to the minimum. In addition, local officials also have the state army in their hands, which has a certain degree of ambition to curb the military's independence.

Therefore, it is very difficult for Jiang Jin, a banist who is in charge of local military and political power to form a separatist force. They are afraid that the news will reach the court as soon as there are signs. As long as their food and supplies are cut off, they will have no food in their stomachs, and the firearms in their hands will become fire sticks. No one will follow them if they have no money or food to rebel...

"Your Majesty, the military report of the Tianfu!"

"Okay!" Zhao Bing stopped his activities, took the military newspaper submitted by Ni Liang, and finished reading the paper in a glance. Zhao Mengjin reported that after they left Yingtian Prefecture, the Mongolian Yuan peace delegation arrived at Yingtian Prefecture from Kaifeng. According to the plan formulated before, they allowed them to transit to Lin'an to negotiate peace. In order to show their sincerity in peacekeeping, the navy troops who were still waiting in Qingzhou returned to Jiangdong to garrison. In order to ensure the safety of the Mongolian Yuan delegation, they ordered them to travel with the escorts along the way.

"Does Your Majesty have a decree to turn it back? If there is nothing to do, you will surrender!" Seeing that Your Majesty had finished reading, the person who sent the book bowed and asked for instructions.

"Hey, aren't you Xu Wunan? Why did you follow me here?" Zhao Bing raised his eyes and saw that the sender was the officer of the Third Division who asked the third division when he was preaching in Yingshan that day. He pointed at him in surprise.

"The last general is right. When you leave Yingshan, the last general will receive an order and temporarily go to His Majesty to obey the order!" Xu Wunan stood attentively and saluted and reported.

"Is this a matter?" Zhao Bing thought for a while and did not order the transfer, so he turned to Ni Liang and asked.

"Your Majesty, after the owner of the manor sent His Majesty to pass the three passes, he would meet Xuzhou to take office. Before leaving, he proposed to General Sun Xu to General Sun in the name of the Imperial Front Office. He thought that the Imperial Front Office was short of staff, and he wanted to transfer it out, and that Your Majesty could not be without people to serve him. Seeing that the talent was rare, he would be the leader to transfer Xu Wunan to the Imperial Front Office to the Military Affairs Office to share his worries for Your Majesty." At this time, Ni Liang was indeed clear and reported.

"Sanshilang has always been keen on his wise eyes. Since it is his arrangement, please stay!" Zhao Bing felt sad when he heard this. In fact, he was reluctant to leave Duke Zhuang since he left the imperial office. As early as Qiongzhou, their brothers were with him. When the imperial office was established, they served as the head of the second room. Later, Lin Zhiwu, Cai Qiao, Cai Ruoshui and others left one after another. He presided over the imperial office and managed all the affairs in an orderly manner, treating them as their left and right hands.

Although Chen Shishi, Ma Duanlin, Ying Xi and others were added, they had less than two years of entry into the imperial court and had no problem dealing with general affairs, but they were not as easy as Duke Zhuang. However, the imperial court was in a high position and low position, so he could not always keep him around. So when Wang Yinglin tried his own reality and proposed to take charge of Yingtian Mansion, he arranged him as the prefect of Xuzhou as the prefect.

After knowing that he was determined to conquer Xiangyang in person, Duke Zhuang, from the thought of walking all the way on the edge of the enemy and our war zone, he postponed his post and traveled thousands of miles to escort him to Xiangyang. He quietly returned to Xuzhou to take office until he passed the three passes and left the enemy territory. He knew that after Zhao Bing left, Ying Xi, who had to take on the task of assisting the emperor in formulating military strategies and tactics, but his talent was far inferior to his father and he was not qualified for this position.

So Duke Zhuang has been paying attention to this matter but has never found a suitable person. He found Xu Wunan in Yingshan to be flexible and agile, and has unique insights in military strategy and tactics. He secretly inquired with Wu Feng and others, and fully understood all aspects of him, thinking that this person was available. He was worried that His Majesty would not want to weaken the basic command power, so he made an arrangement privately for the first time and the last time he acted as the head of the imperial office.

"I'm not grateful yet!" Seeing Xu Wunan still stunned, Ni Liang lowered his voice.

"I thank Your Majesty for yourselves!" Xu Wunan realized that His Majesty had promised him to join the imperial office. This was a position that countless people envied. It hit him like a pie that fell on his head today. He saluted overjoyed.

"Don't be too happy too early. I ordered you to assist the Chief of the Imperial Office in the Fifth Office, specializing in military affairs. Now we will formulate a candidate plan first, the team must be competent, and the number of people must be controlled at about twenty. The personnel are required to have practical experience, have served as regiment commander or above, and have the position of division and brigade commander, be proficient in staff business, and can formulate combat plans based on the outline I set. In addition, we have good analytical skills and determine the enemy's strategic trends based on intelligence... It is best to be a versatile, just that for the time being!" Zhao Bing pondered for a moment.

He considered that he was worried about more and more matters now, and the four departments in the imperial front office did not have special military departments. In the past, several departments temporarily handled military affairs. Moreover, the few people are not proficient in military affairs and need to rely on Tan Fei to assist. Therefore, setting up a special business department has become an urgent task.

"Yes, I will obey the order!" Xu Wu's expression changed slightly after hearing the slightest change, but it was also fleeting in the blink of an eye. He stood attentively and saluted.

"Well, if you do your job well, you will stay; if you don't do it well, you will go back and forth wherever you go. This period will not affect normal official duties, otherwise you will get out of here. If you don't understand, you can ask the other officials!" Zhao Bing raised his hand and pointed at him in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Xu Wunan felt that he had just joined the company and must do some errands first. He would only participate in specific affairs after he got familiar with the procedures and working methods of the imperial office, and then stayed after passing the inspection. Unexpectedly, before his own people were recognized, His Majesty suppressed such a strong courage to participate in the establishment of a new department when he came up. This caught him off guard, but he still gritted his teeth and responded.

"This kid is good!" Ni Liang suddenly said as he watched Xu Wunan leave.

"Oh, how can I see it!" Ni Liang knew that his position in the emperor's heart would be basically satisfied as long as he said it. In order to avoid suspicion, he rarely praised others in front of him. It is rare to see him praise others today, and he spoke seriously, Zhao Bing asked curiously.

"Your Majesty's request is too high. The files of the military officials are in the Ministry of War. Now they are far away from the capital, so it is difficult to choose from them. Moreover, he is familiar with the people around him. His Majesty asked him to find someone. But this kid only showed some difficulty, but he agreed immediately, which shows that he is still a little brave." Ni Liang said with a smile as a silly smile.

"Haha, this is not a bad name. At first I thought he would shirk his words, or would make some requirements after he responded, or ask for some grace. But he said nothing. If he could really put together a team of people for me, as long as it was not too ugly, it would be considered as passing the test." Zhao Bing also smiled.

"The owner of the village is cautious in his work and will not recommend him to his Majesty easily. Now he can take the initiative to transfer people to the imperial front before leaving, which shows that he is also eye-catching." Ni Liang did not take the credit and only expressed that he believed in Duke Zhuang's vision.

"It's just a mule or a horse that will take it out for a walk!" Zhao Bing looked at Ni Liang with fun.

In the following days, the driving was still hiking at night. He only stopped for a short while in Suizhou and headed towards Xiangyang along Suizao Road. However, Zhao Bing found that the rain began to increase, and the water level of the river passing by soared, which caused a lot of trouble for them to cross the river. He had to re-strengthen the floating bridge and sent the engineering camp to repair the roads along the way.

A few days later, the army had just arrived in Baishui and the advance group that had crossed the river first discovered the Yuan army, which indicated that they had entered the Xiangyang battlefield, but did not see any Song army coming to pick them up...
