Chapter 427 The Great Song Lectures on Martial Arts
It seems that the Zhengshitang has not been separated from the several opinions of the ministers and workers of the court.
"The rules and regulations of the guard camp are strict. As long as the laws are strict, the generals of the Imperial Guard are like mud. After being remelted in the guard camp, they can be turned into steel!"
Wen Yanbo's words...haven't the political hall ever reached a consensus? Or are they just for their own sake? Or are they simply unable to reach a consensus?
Judging from Fu Bi's meaning, it seems that there is no consensus below.
Zhao Xi couldn't explain clearly, and it didn't matter. He just needed such a procedure. No matter who persuaded anyone, it would not affect his decision.
It now appears that Han Qi and Wen Yanbo prefer the escort camp as a training base for captains, while Ouyang Xiu and Sima Guang suggest maintaining the status quo.
Fu Bi only talked about the current situation...
"Officials, gentlemen, there is an article in the new military regulations that stipulates obedience to superior and subordinate officials. It requires that subordinates must obey their superiors when there is no obvious harm to the interests of the country and the dynasty."
"In today's escort battalion, the person with the highest rank is Chen Huan, and the highest rank in the Fangzhi Army is only the battalion commander. Is it possible that the escort battalion trains all commanders in rotation? Ten generals and military leaders are trained in rotation?"
"If the escort battalion still trains these low-level generals, how is it different from this kind of selection of soldiers?"
Can this also be used as a reason? It is a reason to use it now. It seems that Sima Junshi has really carefully studied the regulations of the guard camp.
"Look at these again..."
Zhao Xi did not let them continue arguing, but just handed over the memorial about Di Qing from the Yushitai channel.
There are not many such memorials, only a dozen or so, which are nothing more than a review of some of Di Qing's background, and a refutation of his re-activation and entrustment of important tasks after he became an official.
It's irrelevant! This is a meeting on the functions of the guard camp. What does Hanchen mean by mentioning it?
I don't even understand what the officials mean.
Di Qing was demoted and sent abroad for the first time. On the surface, it was Ouyang Xiu who led the impeachment of Di Qing, or he led Di Qing's move abroad.
But Ouyang Xiuzhen didn't want to depose Di Qing, he wanted to use that method to protect Di Qing.
At this time, someone once again used his previous memorial as an excuse...~ This made the old man very uncomfortable.
"Officials, this is nonsense! Although Di Hanchen controlled the new troops of the Western Army, the imperial court used his reputation in the Western Army to coordinate the armies of Yan, Linfu, Huanqing, Qinzhou and Huichuan."
"Di Hanchen is in the northwest and does not directly command the army. He is controlled by the Han Prefect of Qinzhou Road. How can he harbor evil intentions?"
Famous generals and commanders, if they really reach the level of Di Qing, their effect of shock is greater than their effect of combat.
It has been almost two years since the truce with Xixia, but due to the urgent situation of the late emperor, there was no detailed negotiation on the border.
The officials also left the front line in a hurry, and there are still small-scale conflicts on the northwest border. Ouyang Xiu believes that Di Qing's role in Qinzhou is irreplaceable.
He didn't consider the connection between the secrets Zhao Xi came up with and the security camp, and simply started with the memorial to impeach Di Qing.
"The official family is asking Di Hanchen to return to the court?"
"If there is unrest on the border, Hanchen must not return to the court!"
Sima Guang interrupted Fu Bi again, which was a direct attempt to deny Zhao Xi's wishes.
"In recent years, at least within three to five years, Xixia has not dared to invade our border. Unless they find a way to deal with gunpowder bombs, this cannot be done in a short time. Even if there is a method, the war horses still need to adapt."
"Besides, generals need to grow, and more importantly, they need to present new generals who can intimidate the Xixia people. Whether Di Hanchen is in the northwest or in Bianliang depends on the needs of the court. As for these memorials, it is what it is.
.”
"In view of the current disputes over the campsite and functions of the guard camp, it might be a good idea to transfer Di Hanchen back to Bianliang."
There was a lot of information in Zhao Xi's words. The most clear thing is: the memorials of the ministers and where Di Qing is placed are only based on the needs of the court, not just the shouts of the ministers.
It's just that sometimes I need the excuse of a memorial.
Of course, whether you can realize this level depends on each person's understanding.
"In the official family, what is Di Hanchen's title when he returns to the court?"
Zhao Xi looked at Wen Yanbo... You and Han Qi are in the Privy Council. If Di Qing is put in the Privy Council again, will he be outrun by you two?
The old man is loyal to the country, but he has been threatened by you again and again. Forget it, Di Hanchen is a treasure, and I have no intention of letting him be angered by you again in the sixth year of his life.
"Di Hanchen's return to the court is related to solving the function of the guard camp."
Indeed, with Di Qing's rank, there is really no one in the dynasty who can compare with him except for the military honors of the aristocratic families at the beginning of the dynasty. This solves the problem that Sima Junshi mentioned that there are no high-grade military officers in the guard camp.
Similarly, Di Hanchen's current title, given to the chief officer of a guard camp, seems more like a demotion...
Is it possible that the officials believed that Di Hanchen had evil intentions?
No one said anything. At this moment, Di Qing was in the Privy Council. Whether it was Han Qi or Wen Yanbo, they could run against him, contact his ministers to impeach him, and find trouble at will.
But if Di Qing is separated from the court, everyone knows that that person is nothing to worry about. If the officials suspect him again, there is no need to add insult to injury.
"Guan family, Di Hanchen..."
A gentleman is a gentleman, and Ouyang Xiu took Di Qing's place to complain.
"Listen to me... Since the court officials intend to change the functions of the escort battalion, then we will change it."
"Move all the workshops attached to the guard camp out of the guard camp and move them to Gongfang City. Expand the scale of the guard camp and prepare to build the Great Song Dynasty Martial Arts Lecture Hall."
"The main function of the Military Academy is to cultivate and train generals of the country and the dynasty. It must be both civil and military, a two-pronged approach, and both hands must be strong."
"The martial arts hall has Dean Wen and Dean Wu, who are respectively responsible for the military training of generals, the implementation of doctrines and regulations, and the improvement of cultural levels."
"I will personally serve as the dean of the Martial Arts Hall to improve the standards of the Martial Arts Hall. In this way, there will not be the problem of Di Hanchen being in a high position and being underused."
"Di Hanchen was appointed as the first martial arts dean of Jiangwu Hall, while Dean Wen was appointed by Tongzhi Privy Councilor Lu Gongzhu. The martial arts dean of Jiangwu Hall must be a famous general who has experienced many wars, and Dean Wen
They must be civil servants who have experience in teaching martial arts and have experience in leading troops, and they must also serve as colleagues in the Privy Council."
"The martial arts hall has a general class, a school captain class and a soldier class. The general class trains generals above the military level in rotation, and the school captain class trains generals below the camp level in rotation, while the soldier class continues to implement the military selection method."
"The term of the martial arts hall lasts for three years. Those who have completed the three-year study and passed the evaluation will be assigned to serve in the military. If they fail to pass the evaluation, it will be postponed for one year. Those who still fail to pass will be demoted and appointed."
"Generals who have a higher rank than the Military Chamber are required to serve as lecturers in the Military Academy every year to explain military strategies. Professors from the Imperial College must also serve as civilian lecturers in the Military Academy and teach in the Military Academy as needed. The Minister of Political Affairs should also be in the Military Academy
Teaching.”
"The general class is evaluated by the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council, the captain class is evaluated by the Privy Council, and the soldier class is evaluated by the Wu Jiang Hall."
"The general structure is like this. Please ask the Political Council and the Privy Council to formulate the specific details, taking the current training content and regulations of the guard camp as a reference."
Zhao Xi had finished speaking and didn't care about the shock of his husband.
