Chapter 810 Can't take command of the general, but be the supervisor?
After painstaking efforts, he selected the Hedong Road, trained the victims of the disasters in various places, and also went through several trainings on the battlefield. The lieutenant generals in the army were either chosen by their own confidants or they were selected by themselves after careful consideration.
Army, but now Zhao Ji easily handed over the general power to other generals. Is this another case of "releasing military power over a glass of wine"?
What's more, although Liu Zhongwu is also a famous general in the Western Army, his subordinate Liu Qi also respects Xiao Tang and will definitely shine in the military in the future. However, Xiao Tang also knows very well about the relationship between Liu Zhongwu and Sanya Tai
The relationship between Wei, Gao and Qiu was mutually supportive. The military power of this unit that he had instilled in him and newly selected and trained has now temporarily fallen into the hands of Liu Zhongwu. Could it be that the old thief Gao Qiu was secretly obstructing it?
Although Xiao Tang could not help but feel unwilling and angry, on the surface he still saluted Zhao Ji respectfully and said: "The Holy Lord is considerate of my ministers. I obey the imperial edict, but I just listen to your majesty's orders."
Zhao Ji laughed when he heard this, and said: "Although we have a great victory in the Song Dynasty, the Xia Kingdom still has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, who are also good at riding and shooting. The battle lines are stretched in Xihe, Qinfeng, Yanyan, and Jingyuan.
For more than thousands of miles, the supervisors should not treat them lightly when dispatching military forces. I used Qing to conquer Poxia for the country, and wanted to appoint Cai Daizhi as the chief supervisor of the army, and Xiao Aiqing as the deputy supervisor of the army.
Audit of rewards and punishments for crimes committed by masters."
After hearing this, Xiao Tang's heart skipped a beat, and he thought that taking advantage of the war in the Western Frontier, Tong Guan was appointed as the supervisor of the army. Not only did Tong Guan lead the military affairs of the Privy Council, but he also gradually controlled the military power of the Western Army. Gao Qiu even used this to control the military power of the Western Army in a few years.
He has been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-General of the Third Government. In this way, Zhao Ji treats himself with sincerity and kindness, promising him a fat job where he can enjoy his meritorious service?
After all, most of the generals who command the troops in the side court are well aware of the world. They also know very well that the figures sent by the court to supervise and supervise the army during wars are either famous people around the officials or people working in the court.
In many cases, the powerful ministers who were dispatched by the supervisory army were only dispatched by the commander-in-chief of the frontier army, and arranged for troops to be stationed in the rear far away from the front line of the war. Although the blame for the defeat still fell to the commander-in-chief of the unified army.
However, when it comes to rewarding merits, ordinary generals will also do enough to be humane and write to the court to say that they have made meritorious service in supervising the army, supervising the formation and providing advice. In the future, there will be a noble person in the court to take care of them, just like the relationship between Gao Qiu and Liu Zhongwu.
However, he, the supervisor, was just a deputy, and the official supervisor was Cai Ji, who was sitting in front of Xiao Tang.
Although Cai Chi, the official of the Xuanhe Palace, was a civil servant who had never experienced war, he still wanted to be Zhao Ji's son-in-law. He was also the son of Cai Jing, the prime minister of the regime. At that time, Gao Ji was just a companion in Prince Duan's palace.
But he was promoted by Zhao Ji. He first went to the Privy Council and then moved with him. He was promoted to the rank of Taiwei of the Third Yamen in the name of supervising the northwest army. Cai Jing used some methods to teach Zhao Ji how to promote his fifth son, and at the same time he was
It is not surprising that he, the prospective son-in-law of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, could take advantage of the Northwest War to seek fame again.
However, what slightly surprised Xiao Tang was that Cai Jing had been working hard in the officialdom for forty or fifty years and had only been able to win the position of the top of the civilian political arena. Now the powerful prime minister actually had the idea of meddling in the country's military affairs.
?
However, Xiao Tang thought about it again. Among Cai Jing's sons, Cai You had learned a bit of his father's political skills, and he couldn't wait to compete with Cai Jing for power. Although Cai Jing also had to be reused, his political views were different from those of his father.
The eldest brothers are wavering between each other; Cai Sui has quite a bit of Cai Jing's style and talent, but according to his past reputation, he is more like a literati and poet; the others, such as Cai Jun, Cai Yun, Cai Jiu and others... are all...
These are some useless wealthy men. It seems that although this Cai Chi usually behaves in a reserved and low-key manner, after he married Emperor Roufu, he could only become a prince-in-law who was difficult to be promoted in the officialdom.
Instead of accepting the false title of Prince Consort and enjoying the blessings, it seems that Cai Jing also intends to teach his son to not only open up more relationships and connections in the army before marrying the emperor's concubine, but also to destroy the Xia Kingdom in one fell swoop in this battle.
By relieving the Song Dynasty's centuries-old troubles on the western frontier, Tong Guan was not only able to use his military exploits to gain greater power over the Western Army in Bianting, Cai Jing was also able to gain power in the court, and Xiao Tang was also able to get a share of the pie by being dispatched as deputy supervisor of the army.
However, the supervisory army also needs to be divided into Tong Guan, Qin Han and other figures who can lead troops in war, or Gao Qiu, who was clearly sent to the side court by the emperor to make money and earn favors. Zhao Ji actually planned to appoint Cai Chi, who knew nothing about military affairs.
I am afraid that by appointing a son of a powerful official as the supervisor, Xiao Tang wanted to protect Cai Chi's personal safety so that he could enjoy his military exploits in the rear of the battlefield without taking any risks.
For any other military attache who tries to curry favor with Zhao Ji and Cai Jing, this is undoubtedly a job with a good job, but this is obviously not the job Xiao Tang wants. To put it nicely, Zhao Ji intends to let Xiao Tang and Cai Jing
The future royal emperor and his son-in-law went to the side court together to pick up the ready-made military exploits. However, if the words were harsh, Zhao Ji and Cai Jing also knew that Xiao Tangli had gone through several wars and had some ability to command troops and generals, so they planned to let Xiao Tang take charge.
Just in case, he acts as a personal bodyguard for Cai Wei, the son of the powerful prime minister.
"As a lesson from your majesty, I have defeated the invaders many times after being favored by the imperial court, and my determination to contribute to the country has always been the same. Now that the Song Dynasty is about to conquer the Xia Dynasty, I am also willing to use my talents to make contributions and go to the battlefield in person to work with the soldiers of the Western Army.
, wipe out the bandits, I hope your majesty will do it!"
After only thinking for a moment, Xiao Tang suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart. He still made up his mind to tell Zhao Ji that he did not want to be a supervisory officer who just enjoyed his success, and of course he did not want to be a caretaker for the Cai family's children.
In the hospital, there were many military officers and generals in the front office of Bianjing Palace, including Xiao Tang. Even if Cai Jing would have some thoughts about him because of this incident, Xiao Tang said in his heart that after all, military aircraft are important matters.
Seriously, I can't continue to be manipulated by Cai Dang in the Bianjing court.
"This..." Zhao Ji was startled when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "I can naturally understand your beloved's thoughts, but soldiers are an ominous weapon. Fighting and fighting always involve the danger of life and death.
How can I have the heart to teach my beloved to go into danger many times? What’s more, my beloved is now an important minister in the Privy Council, so how can I act so lightly? In the past, your beloved has made many meritorious deeds and fought hard, but now there are three armies serving in the court, so why not?
As for teaching Xiao Aiqing to do everything herself?"
Hearing Xiao Tang's intention to politely refuse Zhao Ji's mission, Li Bangyan couldn't help but look at him with surprise. He couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: I heard that Xiao Tang is also good at figuring out the holy will. Thank you for being entrusted by the government with such a mission.
Even though I have received the Holy Grace, why can’t I clearly see the level of his features at this moment? Haha... Although this yellow-mouthed boy is a bit of a weirdo, he had no reason to have a grudge with the sophomore from Yuanshe in the past few years. It seems that
After all, he is just an unsophisticated and reckless man. Does this guy really think that he can please the officials by risking his life at the border? It’s in vain that I even planned to do some favors with this idiot!
On the other side, Cai Chi, who was being conferred by Zhao Ji as the Supervisor of the Conquering Xia Army, was quite powerful. Although he smiled and said nothing, he couldn't help but think in his heart: Zhimo Xiaotang relied on the favor of the officials, so he thought he had strong wings.
You don't have to look at the eyes of my Cai family anymore? Humph! To put it bluntly, you Wu Bian reckless men are just trying to protect your wives. As long as you don't get involved in state affairs and political struggles, and you obey the orders of the Chinese ministers and officials of the DPRK.
, as long as you can still use it, I, the Cai family, may not be able to reward you with fame and wealth, but if you really want to compete with my father, I'm afraid you will be thrown away like a piece of rag!
My father is determined to promote you, but he dares to shirk the imperial edict of Jinkou. Is it possible that this guy has some other thoughts? If so, Xiao Tang is now taught that he has become a meritorious minister, but he is not raising a tiger. Is this a problem? This matter must be reported to the father earlier...
