"Your Majesty, the army should be led by civil servants when going on an expedition!"
In Zhao Xi's concept, war has nothing to do with civil servants, so the entire war arrangement is all about generals...
How can this be done? As soon as the official finished speaking, Han Qi started shouting.
Except for Lu Gong's attempt to appease Hebei, the civil servants did not even stick to each other during the entire battle. This is definitely not possible.
In the past, there was also the term "transshipment envoy", but now due to the emergence of rail carriages, all logistical transportation is undertaken by the Workshop City.
How does this make these princes feel embarrassed? The key is that this battle is very likely to be the biggest victory in a century.
I originally had the main course, but now not only can I not get a share of the soup, but I can't even drink the soup. What's the difference?
"Prime Minister Han, this is also an issue that I have wanted to discuss with you for a long time. The correct answer is to govern the country and bring peace to the country, and to govern the country with civility and military security. Let professional people do professional things and each perform their duties. This is the normal state of a court."
"Don't mention the laws of our ancestors. Now and then, the times are different, and the situations we face are also different. The general principle of using culture to control military force can be applied to the court, but it should not and cannot be applied to war."
"I do not deny that civil servants have the ability to command armies, but they are not pure generals after all. My original intention, that is, the original intention of setting up civil and military officials, is to hope that one day there will be capable ministers with both civil and military skills. But now the matter is urgent, and the country The dynasty does not have ministers who can truly lead the army to a decisive victory."
"You sirs have such ability, but when you go abroad to lead the troops, what will happen to the court? The chaos in the court is no easier than the battlefield."
It's a bit against my will, but I have to say, wear a hat, rephrase the previous sentence, and make your ears comfortable first, and only then can your heart feel smooth as well.
"As for the shortcomings of military generals commanding troops...~Now they are commanding the new army. Let alone the loyalty of the generals, even if they have different intentions, it is impossible to achieve success in the new army. No one can shake the loyalty of the new army!"
The brainwashing and formatted training of later generations cannot be fooled by just a few words. Zhao Xi is still sure of this.
After all, the ones who truly control and command the soldiers are the soldiers of the guard camp whom he has trained himself. They are his absolute confidants and close soldiers.
"The so-called self-respect of the troops and surrendering to the enemy and treason will never happen in the new army! In addition, the West Route Army will be supervised by Li Xian, the East Route Army will be supervised by Shi Deyi, and the prince, the main force of the Middle Route, will accompany the army..."
"Your Majesty, this must not be done..."
What are you playing at? With such a huge formation, why did you ask the prince to go to the central army? Isn't this adding chaos?
"Dear ministers, the prince has turned fifteen years old in a blink of an eye. At this age, I will accompany Di Hanchen on the southern expedition... I can go to the barbaric land of Lingnan, but now it is only the Hedong Road. Why can't the prince go with the army?"
"The matter is settled like this! The inner palace cannot breed talented people. A king who controls such a huge empire should not only belong to the inner garden!"
I don’t know what tricks the son used to persuade Tao Niang to allow him to study abroad and take the exam.
Zhao Xi agreed very much and made it a permanent rule for the prince to leave the palace at the age of fifteen.
He is not his father. Now he has seven sons and five girls. This is still the result of not accepting a harem.
It may be a little unkind to say it, but that's the truth... You don't have to worry about what happens to your son and your inheritance is cut off.
The matter was settled like this. In fact, Fu Bi and others also understood that starting from the official expedition, the country's several great victories in foreign battles were almost all led by military generals.
Even if it was the Second Southern Expedition, even though Lu Gongzhu was named, during the actual campaign, it was entirely due to some kind of combat staff system set up by the officials. It was said that Lu Gongzhu was commanding the army, rather than the entire collective of generals. of wisdom.
How many civil servants are there who might be able to adapt to the staff system set up by the government? Except for those civil servants who came from the guard camp, which civil servant can tolerate a group of Qiuba gesticulating in front of them?
Maybe, that is to say, perhaps, it is really time to select civil servants to attend the martial arts training hall, otherwise it is very likely that there will be no trace of civil servants in the future wars of the country.
Wen Zuo Guan? I’m afraid the prerequisite for setting up Wen Zuo Guan in the government should be to participate in training at the martial arts hall? It’s always like this to promote some things step by step.
Indeed, this is what Zhao Xi meant. To put it bluntly, the civil service officer is to allow the civil service group to mix sand into the military. At the same time, it is also a way for the civil and military personnel to understand and communicate with each other.
The strategy is set, but there are still many troublesome matters to be busy with.
Putting aside disputes and fighting, the political affairs ministers are indeed good at handling government affairs.
Daily report, Zhao Xi can see that everything is proceeding in an orderly manner...
The biggest problem in the entire strategy is how to allow the Liao-Xia coalition forces to enter Yanmen Pass without arousing suspicion?
Let’s not talk about the criticism from the courtiers for humiliating the Congress due to the loss of a teacher...~ Zhao Xi is not prepared to let Di Qing take the blame when he takes office. Even if Di Qing is prepared, Zhao Xi still has to consider the consequences.
…
"Your Majesty, the red feathers are urgently delivered. Yanmen Pass has been captured, and nearly a thousand soldiers have been killed or injured..."
The moment Zhao Xi heard the battle report, he was overjoyed. He suppressed the emotion that he shouldn't have and took the report from the Imperial City Division handed over by Wang Zhongzheng...~
"The princes of Xuanzhengshitang and Han Zhen and Su Song of Gongfangcheng came to the meeting hall to discuss matters!"
Those who should go to war have already gone to war, and Zhao Xi did not play with the generals or anything. In Zhao Xi's view, the war is only a matter for the military, and there is no need to make it known to everyone. The key is not to let the tension of the war continue.
From the overall situation, the loss of Yanmen Pass was just what he wanted. However, from the report, Zhao Xi could feel the unwillingness, helplessness and frustration of the Yanmen Pass defenders, and he could also feel the changes in the battle to defend Yanmen Pass.
After the Liao-Xia coalition forces failed to receive information from the permanent envoy in Bianliang, they began to launch a fierce siege of Yanmen Pass.
Nearly two hundred thousand troops took turns attacking the entire defensive camp group at Yanmen Pass.
In the past ten days, five thousand soldiers have resisted the attack of two hundred thousand troops for ten days... Whether it is Yeluqi of Xijing Road or the brave military commander of the left wing of the Wu Zang family, they are all acting.
Although the Yanmen Pass defenders have always assured Daizhou Zhizhou that as long as the firearms continue, with the intensity of Liao Xia's attack, their Yanmen Pass defenders will never abandon Yanmen Pass.
However, the magistrate of Daizhou still began to move the people to the mountains and evacuate southward... because the imperial edict he received was such that the area from Daizhou to Xinxian County must be fortified and the country cleared.
However, the situation of the battle was not changed by the courage of the soldiers.
The Liao-Xia coalition, even with 200,000 troops, still used despicable methods...
They mixed the entire area around Yanmen Pass, as well as the people of Lin Prefecture and the two prefectures held hostage by the Xixia Zuoxiang Army Division, with the Han army on the Xijing Road in Northern Liao Dynasty, and approached the Yanmen Pass wall step by step...
That is to say, the guard general of Yanmen Pass was from the old guard camp. He was taught that if you save people and lose land, you will gain both people and land, so he chose to abandon the pass at the first opportunity!
And let the soldiers who were injured and unable to enter the mountains to carry out the battlefield behind enemy lines choose, leaving behind dead soldiers...
After the defenders retreated from Yanmen Pass and the Liao-Xia coalition entered Yanmen Pass, the ammunition depot at Yanmen Pass exploded.
The battle at Yanmen Pass was just like what had been discussed with the imperial court.
