An emperor is an emperor, no matter how weak he is, he is still the decision-maker and the one who makes the final decision.
A minister is still a minister, no matter how fierce he yells, he just wants to persuade the emperor to adopt his opinion.
This also leads to the difference between a wise minister and a traitor, a cowardly king and a wise king. Each role is indispensable.
If in a court, all measures are initiated and decided by the emperor, and even the execution is interfered with, even if the emperor is full of iron, he will not be able to drive many nails.
Zhao Xi understands this truth and hopes to have such a minister who can express his thoughts for him. He also knows that this is too difficult, after all, there is a thousand years of experience gap.
Therefore, Zhao Xi had to set up some pits overtly or covertly for his ministers to enter unknowingly, and then guide and inspire them to finally achieve the results he wanted.
Zhao Xi has been doing this since he got involved in government affairs, whether it was in the East Palace or after he took the throne.
But this time, the matter of guarding the camp gave him a surprise, and it seemed like a natural progression.
Human potential is unlimited, especially when self-interest is involved.
This time it is.
Whether it is the comments of later generations or the real feelings now, the country promotes culture and suppresses military force. This is indeed the meaning.
However, Zhao Xi prefers another theory: the civil servants and the Wu Xun family jointly suppressed the rising military generals.
Di Qinglao was impeached. Even though he is far away in the border states now and still plays a role that does not directly lead the army, there are still people who want to cause trouble for him from time to time.
As for Gao Zunyu, including those from Zhonge and Zhejia, even if they often provoked Xixia in their free time, few people would say anything wrong about them.
Not to mention that it turned out that the Fourth Army of Bianliang was turned into useless people after being trained by noble families. No one said anything about this.
The emergence of the escort battalion seems to be breaking this foundation.
The two campaigns of the new army of the Kuomintang and Chao Dynasty were overwhelming victories, whether against Xixia or Dali.
This indicates that the future of the country will definitely be dominated by the New Army, and all the middle and lower-level generals of the New Army came from the escort battalion. The performance of the New Guard Battalion in Dali also indicates that the subsequent expansion of the New Army will also
These people will definitely be in charge.
Most of these people were born without heels.
This is a sign that the grassroots will make a difference. How is this possible?
In the hearts of all the civil servants, there could be more farming and studying families, but as for martial arts, the martial arts that had been established at the beginning of the dynasty could only gradually fade away, rather than adding new military commanders to inherit the family.
Hence, the early debate.
The guard camp has taken shape and even has a solid foundation. It is basically impossible to abolish it. What to do? The only way is to get involved and turn the guard camp into a place to suppress the grassroots.
Zhao Xi did not express his position in the morning meeting, and even left the meeting with a sullen face. It was just pretending at first, but when he really wanted to understand what was going on, his sullen face became real.
But they can all climb along the pole...
Zhao Xi also knows that in the current army of the imperial dynasty, except for the new army, all the other imperial armies, as long as their official rank reaches the level of military wing commander, there are very few who are not following.
The country has been at peace for nearly a hundred years. Except for the promotion of the Western Army, which is related to military merit, most of the generals in other places should be nepotism.
Now, due to the continuous expansion of the new army, we only select people from the army and then establish a new team system. As a result, those generals who already have grades will eventually be eliminated without passing the threshold of the guard camp...
"According to the memorial, check the relationship between these ministers and generals... Forget it!"
Zhao Xi thought about it, but still didn't really investigate. There were not many civil servants who could speak out in court, but there were too many generals involved. It might even be because of many twists and turns, there was no way to investigate, investigate
There is no way to get out.
Stay the same in the face of all changes. As long as you grasp the standards for entering the guard camp, maintain the discipline and style of the guard camp, and put an end to favoritism and malpractice, the result will be what it should be.
In the next few days, there were more and more memorials about the adjustment of the functions of the escort camp, and there were many things to say.
Let the guard camp be abolished. Because the crown prince has not been established yet, the Sixth Command of the East Palace has been abolished. The guard camp is only a temporary institution, and there is no need to continue to keep it.
Allowing the escort battalion to undertake the training of the National and Imperial College Lieutenant Bases was the most punished. After all, the expansion of the Imperial and Imperial New Army, and the dominance of the New Army in the future was already a trend that was difficult to change.
It would be better to send the captains of the imperial army to the guard camp to recuperate, and then return to the original team to train the soldiers. This can solve the problem of the soldiers in the guard camp not being able to undertake the training function, and it can also speed up the replacement of the new army of the dynasty and the imperial army.
There are also those who keep the guard battalions as they are. The guard battalions are selected from the best, and each one is an elite. As long as the guard battalion model is maintained, the country will not worry about the low-level captains. If this training continues, the new army training model in the early stage will continue.
.Although it may take longer, it is definitely the safest approach.
There are also suggestions to shorten the training time for soldiers in the guard camp. For example, you can directly disperse the new soldiers in the guard camp into the army, and then re-select soldiers...～
There are memorials with various tendencies, which also shows that the ministers and workers of the country have their own ideas, but they are still determined to solve the problem.
It should be almost done. I guess the courtiers' requests have all been sorted out, and the princes should also have a record.
"My lords, please tell me what you think about the training of the guard camp. After all, it is a matter that the court is paying more attention to now."
Zhao Xi did not make direct decisions. Whether it was the convention of the collective discussion system or the screening of the inclinations of the princes, Zhao Xi needed this collective discussion process.
"Officials, this kind of memorial only needs to be kept but not issued, so let's do whatever it takes!"
"I agree with what Sima Xianggong said!"
These two... well, they are indeed gentlemen, and they have not been involved in any entanglements of interest. Likewise, they have no idea of changing the status quo of the country. It seems that maintaining the best status is the best.
Perhaps he saw the possibility that the guard camp might be destroyed, so he refused to change.
It is said that Sima Junshi and Ouyang Yongshu were also advocates of the New Deal during the Qingli Year, so why are they conservative now?
"The soldiers of the old guard battalion are scattered among the army, and the soldiers of the new guard battalion cannot take over, which will inevitably affect the progress of the replacement of the new army of the country."
"Not long after an official takes the throne, if the guard battalion still assumes the responsibility of the East Palace's personal troops, the time limit is too long and it is a waste of these elite troops."
"If we follow the established rules, every time the guard battalion participates in a battle, the soldiers will definitely be upgraded. Eventually, the guard battalion will become a gathering place for generals..."
"From this point of view, it would be better to make some changes to the functions of the escort battalion."
Fu Bi was the prime minister, and he focused more on reconciling the courtiers with the emperor, and the courtiers with the courtiers.
Therefore, we only analyzed the actual situation and did not provide specific measures.
"Change the functions of the guard battalion and let the guard battalion take on the task of training generals. This can speed up the replacement of new troops and promote the application of firearms in the imperial army of the country and Korea."
"It is well known how the Imperial Guards are, and the generals of the Imperial Guards are also well known. Just as Mr. Han said, the new army will eventually become the Imperial Guards!"
Han Qi didn't know if he had finished speaking, but Ouyang Xiu interrupted him directly.
