"There is no curtain hanging in the deep courtyard, and the jade and green feathers are brilliant and fragrant branches. The colors in the world are hard to resemble. When the light moon is at the beginning and has not fallen." Zhao Bing looked up at the wooden plaque. Although it was a little mottled, it was still well preserved. Obviously, people often wiped it and kept it here as a treasure. He chanted softly.

"Li Xiang is not only honest and honest in the officialdom, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and his writing skills are also excellent. A few words not only meet the situation, but also a portrayal of his current mood. Although he was demoted to this, he was still worried about national affairs." Liu Fu touched his beard and sighed.

"Yes! Look at the first words again: the ice jade looks at the seat, the Yan Fang meets each other and is broad. She wears a white dress and wears a lifelong ambition, and her righteous thoughts are still simple." Xu Zongren nodded and chanted, "Li Xiang is celebrating his ambition through flowers. Although he was demoted thousands of miles away, he still did not forget his original intention!"

"Stop the whale waves and bandits, and the Central Plains looked back and shed tears. There was no place to lose the clear sorrow, and there was no place to relieve the guests." Ying Jieyan finished the third sentence, "Not only did Li Xiang not be demoted and resented the king, but he was not discouraged after arriving in Qiong. On the contrary, he was ready to live on this island for a long time. His open-minded mind was as good as Mr. Dongpo, and he would not let Sumeru!"

"Oh, Li Xiang's fate is good. He was pardoned after only a few days. But I have been here for three years, and the day I return is far away!" Zhao Bing did not have such good cultivation, and it was difficult to comprehend the artistic conception. He only sighed that he was born at the wrong time.

"Your Majesty, don't be depressed. This year, our court won consecutive battles and has already gotten rid of the dilemma of being anxious all day long. Next year will only be better!" Liu Fu did not expect that the little emperor would say such despairing words and quickly comforted him.

"Maybe!" Zhao Bing said with a smile and cry. "For several years, I have been trembling and dared not relax at all, for fear of losing the last place where the Song Dynasty is. However, the Tartars are powerful and their foundation will become increasingly deep. But we are struggling and have no hope of restoring the country, which makes me feel helpless and exhausted."

"Your Majesty also said that restoring the country is not a matter of one day or one night. You need to keep your strength and accumulate strength. When the troops are strong and the horse is strong, then launch a large-scale counterattack. How could you say this today!" Ying Jieyan frowned and said.

"You should be aware of the matter. Your Majesty is still in the prime minister, but he has been in power for several years. He led the army to fight for the battlefield and fought for this place of power. I think you are still in enlightenment at this age. Today I read Li Xiangliu's book and felt a little emotional!" Liu Fu seemed to be blamed in Ying Jieyan's words, and immediately followed the words and defended the little emperor.

"Yes, although the governor is an imperial tutor, don't be too harsh. This year, Your Majesty conquers Quanzhou, quells the rebellion, defeats Ali Hague, and sends troops to fight north. Nothing is shocking. Although I have not gone to the battlefield in person, I am always anxious. Besides, Your Majesty personally plans several battles, and he will personally dispatch every battle. The pressure is beyond our ability to bear. What's the harm in complaining!" Xu Zongren also spoke up and defended.

"You...you, I have become a villain like this!" Ying Jieyan couldn't help but feel funny when he heard this. But thinking that His Majesty was only nine years old, he and His Majesty spent time together to discuss military and politics. Instead, he ignored his age and ability to bear, and pointed at the two of them in awkwardly and cursed.

"Your Majesty, are you too tired these days? I heard that Your Majesty wants to form a new army?" Liu Fu said lovingly at the swollen little emperor with his eyes.

"Yes, but not all!" Zhao Bing sighed.

"What else is there to worry about Your Majesty?" Xu Zongren continued.

"The main thing is the military affairs. There are too many disadvantages and it is difficult to solve for a while. Now that wars are frequent, I am worried that it will miss the opportunity!" Zhao Bing said with a melancholy face and pinched his forehead.

"Oh, can Your Majesty talk to me and others, maybe it will be helpful to Your Majesty?" Liu Fu said.

"Okay, I'm a little tired after leaving. I'm just looking for a place to rest!" Zhao Bing thought for a moment. He thought this was also an opportunity, and he could see their reaction...

The military reform has been brewing in Zhao Bing's mind for a long time. He knew very well that with the gradual increase in the use of firearms, it would inevitably lead to a military change. He faced not only cutting down and replacing old equipment, but also involving changes in the army and military branches, training refinement, and selection of officers, and appointment methods. However, the old military management and command system of the Song Dynasty was not adapted to the current situation. Before the presidency, he could do whatever he wanted, but now it was not possible. It was time for some change.

Zhao Bing knew that his formation of a new army could cultivate reserve officers and reserve talents, but it was still difficult to change the institutional problems. The most prominent problem of the Song army at present was that the division of services and services was unreasonable, which ultimately led to the unreasonable proportion of combat troops and non-combat troops, the unreasonable proportion of combat personnel to non-combat personnel, and the unreasonable proportion of officers and soldiers, which led to the unreasonable allocation of resources, which affected the formation of combat effectiveness.

In addition, the current command system not only has the problems of many command levels and long command chains, but also has the prominent problems of difficulty in joint command, difficulty in joint training, and difficulty in joint support. The management of the army is relatively special. Usually, military drills, logistics management and other projects are carried out in peacetime. Once it enters wartime, it immediately enters the state of combat management, which can make it easy for multiple doors to interfere with each other and cause inefficiency.

Another thing is that Zhao Bing has always been worried about the regional phenomenon of troops. In the early days of the establishment, the grouping of fellow townsmen in the same unit was conducive to unity and joint offense and defense, and there would be no problems. However, he was worried that as he grew, the phenomenon of nepotism was likely to occur, leading to the formation of new military groups, causing difficulties in the implementation of government orders, disobeying management, and even collective corruption, and mutual shelter. If a problem arises, it will lead to the collapse of the entire front like Lu Wenhuan surrendering to the Yuan Dynasty.

There is another problem that seems far away, but Zhao Bingjue's people will have immediate worries without long-term thinking. The current territory currently controlled by the dynasty is only an island like Qiongzhou, which is difficult to distinguish between the front and the rear. He can personally dispatch it. However, once the battle to restore the country is launched, it will inevitably be divided into several military groups and advance their own troops. It will be difficult for him to command the troops in his area. He needs to set up an organization to command the troops in his area to conduct comprehensive, effective and coordinated operations. The old ones have failed at the moment, and the new ones have not been established, which will cause chaos.

Zhao Bing knew that the existence of these problems was mainly due to the inappropriateness of the current military leadership and command system. The main function of the army is to fight, but an army must always have its administrative management system. However, if this system is to manage administration and operations, it may be too busy. Therefore, it can be divided into two parts: military and political and military orders. Simply put, it is "military and political leaders are responsible for training, military orders are responsible for war". This can be divided into military orders, military and political division, mixed model, and military orders are integrated.

In modern and modern military powers, most military and political powers adopt the model of military orders and separation of military and political systems. That is, commanding wars is separated from maintaining military troops in peacetime. Those who control wars do not care about military military construction and other matters; those who manage military troops do not participate in wartime combat command. For example, the senior leadership and management system of the US military, that is, the military and political system, the main function is to "maintain troops". The head of state and the secretary of defense shall control military construction through the military department, including formulating national defense policies, national defense budgets, military strength planning, responsible for the administrative management of the troops, combat readiness training, weapon and equipment procurement, etc.

When the military reform was carried out in the Song Dynasty, Zhao Bing certainly did not act rashly. Strictly speaking, it was not considered reform, but improvement was more appropriate. People all know that the Song Dynasty's army defeated more and won less in foreign wars, and had serious problems, but this was not the case in the system. It should be said that it was ahead of this era, and even in later generations, it was not considered backward and useless.

"Releasing military power with a glass of wine" is a well-known allusion, but everyone knows that if the military power of those old generals was only deprived of the military power without the construction of the system, there would still be new military generals who would respect themselves. Therefore, Song Taizu began to reform the military system, and the power of the military command was separated. Those who mobilized troops could not lead the troops, and those who commanded the troops could not transfer troops. This effectively eliminated the situation of the past vassal states being arrogant and chaotic.

"The military talisman comes from the Privy Council, but cannot be governed by the people; the military talisman is under the Three Yas, but cannot be governed by the three Yas." That is to say, the Privy Council and the Secretariat have divided power and controlled the military talisman; "Three Yas" - the command commander of the Palace Front, the commander of the Cavalry and the Commander of the Cavalry and the Commander of the Infantry Department, commanding the three branches of the Imperial Army, cavalry and infantry respectively; the Ministry of War is the most pitiful, and it is only responsible for logistics affairs and managing the local wing army.

Under this system, the Privy Council had the power to mobilize troops, but did not control the army; the three yamen were in charge of the army, but did not control the army; in the event of war, the emperor appointed ministers to lead troops to fight, thus achieving the separation of "the power to send troops" and "the importance of holding troops". In this way, Zhao Kuangyin strengthened the power of the Privy Council and used it to divide the power of the Ministry of War - that is, weakened the power of the prime minister and ensured the emperor's complete control of the army.

Of course, the military system in the Song Dynasty was not a problem, but at the expense of efficiency. The Song Dynasty implemented the law of re-garrison, which stipulated that the army would change its garrison regularly, and the generals did not transfer with the army, and those who managed the army did not directly lead troops to fight, resulting in "generals did not know the soldiers, and soldiers did not know the generals." On the traditional battlefield where manpower and cold weapons were the main force, they could not lead troops, or even command. Such separation of military and political orders actually weakened the combat effectiveness of the army. Therefore, Zhao Bing also thought about it for a long time, considering whether to fully implement modern military and political systems, strictly separate military orders, or a single centralized power.

However, after several wars, Zhao Bing also had some experience. In fact, there is no certain rule for which model is more reasonable. Whether the military and military orders are separated is to achieve rapid and flexible command of the army, scientific, efficient and capable leadership and management, and strong combat support. A model that fits the military's weapons and equipment, combat command and management levels is a good model. At the same time, the differences in national conditions, military conditions, etc. must be considered, and the separation of military and military orders does not need to be done at once. It also needs to consider the degree of separation of military and military orders based on the level of economic development and needs...

The little novice monk found a clean room for the emperor and prepared tea. Everyone sat on the ground. Zhao Bing stepped back and left only Wang De and Su Lan to serve him. Ni Liang led the guards outside to guard him.

"Hehe..." Zhao Bing just sat down and looked around and suddenly laughed.

"Why is Your Majesty laughing?" Xu Zongren also looked at it, but did not find anything wrong, so he asked strangely.

"Haha, I'm afraid I will never become a Buddha in my life!" Zhao Bing smiled again.

"Why did Your Majesty say this?" Xu Zongren even more surprised when he heard this and asked again.

"Shangshu Xu, this is a pure place for Buddhism. The Buddha is watching there, but we are talking about killing here. Wouldn't it make the Buddha unhappy!" Zhao Bing pointed to the portrait of Sakyamuni hanging on the wall behind him and sighed. Everyone laughed after hearing this.

"Your Majesty is a mistake. What my emperor is doing is to eliminate the Yuan Yuan, save all people from water and fire, and save all sentient beings. How could the Buddha blame him? He will definitely bless His Majesty to achieve the great cause of restoring the country!" Xu Zongren waved his hands and said seriously.

"What Secretary Xu said is very true. Your Majesty is the body of the emperor and is also a matter of righteousness. How could the Buddha blame him?" Ying Jieyan smiled and stroked his beard and said.

"I will discuss this matter with you to see if it is feasible!" Zhao Bing bowed.

"Your Majesty, please speak, please listen carefully!" the three of them said.

"You are all old ministers in the court. We have defeated the enemy several times. We should know that the navy has made great contributions. However, our navy still has not been independent in the army and is still under the jurisdiction of the infantry. The war is controlled by its own moderation. Zhao Bing said, but he also knew that the navy's subordinate to the infantry was also determined by historical conditions. At this time, the world was limited to the underdeveloped technology and it was difficult to develop and utilize the ocean. Therefore, it still belongs to the land power era. The competition for resources on the land, which led to the navy being not valued and thus being in a subordinate position, and is more used as a means of transportation.

"Well, Your Majesty is right. Our army will have 80% of the contribution to defending the Qiongzhou naval army!" Ying Jieyan nodded.

"In recent years, I have been traveling to the sea, and I have relied on the navy to defeat the enemy, so I can repay you without losing it!" Xu Zongren also believes that this is exactly the case.

"Your Majesty meant to justify the navy?" Liu Fu asked thoughtfully after hearing this.

"That's right, I want to change the three yamen to the two yamen, abolish the cavalry and merge them into the infantry. At the same time, expand the power of the two yamen, not only assume the power of supporting soldiers, but also undertake the responsibilities of training, assessment, selection of military generals, daily management, and baggage support!" Zhao Bing nodded and said.

"Will Your Majesty take such a big change in the Privy Council and make the two yamen too powerful?" Ying Jieyan asked with a frown.

"The power of the Privy Council to mobilize troops will not be taken away. On the contrary, they can specialize in fighting, formulate combat plans, study strategies, tactics, and wars. They can command the infantry and navy to fight together. The two yamen are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. In this way, the military and political orders will be separated, each performs its duties, and each is in charge of its affairs, so as to avoid excessive concentration of power!" Zhao Bing explained.
