Zhong Jia is focused and undistracted. Apart from the battle, he rarely thinks about other things in the court. Even in the years in the martial arts hall, he has been studying more of the war cases of the officials.
However, he is not the only general of the Zhongja family in the court.
"What Di Shuai said is the ideal state expected by the officials. For example, the first batch of soldiers and captains in the old guard camp, when the officials were still in the East Palace, the reward for our meritorious service was the civil service rank."
Zhong Yi was the Zhong family member who had the most contact with the official family. After listening to Zhong Jia's retelling of Di Qing's words, he gave his brother a clear explanation.
"Reward from civil officials?"
"Yes, officials once said that war actually belongs to young adults, and the result of a lifetime of fighting is a lifetime of injuries. Therefore, whether it is a general or a soldier, the court should consider their final destination."
"With the improvement of military armaments, the role of generals is ultimately reflected in their ability to run the army. Running the army and running politics are intertwined. Those who can run the army will naturally be able to run politics. It is feasible to connect civil and military affairs."
"However, officials have also said that this cannot be achieved by thinking. It depends on the change of concepts, which cannot be achieved by the implementation of one or two systems."
"The official said that he would set a direction and slowly allow civil and military people to have a clear path. For example, when soldiers retire and scholars serve, the problem of not distinguishing between civil and military backgrounds is reflected in the resettlement."
"Officials once said that whether it is the scholar-bureaucrat class or the imperial cabinet, when discussing politics, they will focus on generals and ignore the rank of captain. Officials said that once grassroots politicians, scientific examination participants, etc. gradually have military experience,
It will change the status quo of the distinction between civil and military affairs between the country and the dynasty. Officials say it is still far away..."
Zhong Yi is telling the truth. It is impossible for Zhao Xi to risk the disapproval of the world and resist the entire scholar-bureaucrat class to merge civil and military affairs. It is unrealistic. Let’s not talk about the national policy of the country to control military affairs with civil society, let’s talk about the current state, prefectures and counties of the country.
The governors of the county are still mainly civil servants.
The sign of a wise king is not to act arbitrarily, but to reasonably balance the entire power class, and to be supported by the majority of his ministers when decisions are needed.
Similarly, the sign of a wise king is to have a cabinet that can handle various government affairs, rather than relying on one person to support a court.
Just like now, when Xixia sent a second wave of envoys to Bianliang because they failed to break through, it meant that the war was coming to an end. How to negotiate, how to achieve the goal of annihilating Xixia, and how to deal with the royal family and nobles of Xixia
, soldiers, herdsmen, Zhao Xi does not need to worry.
This is a cabinet matter.
"Based on Qingtang Tubo, the principle is remote control. Within the entire jurisdiction of the original Xixia, tribal nobles, especially those who can order one side to form an army, are not allowed to stay in the original jurisdiction."
"The eight surnames of the Dangxiang nobles are the Xifeng clan, the Feiting clan, the Quli clan, the Pochao clan, the Yeci clan, the Fangdang clan, the Mi Qin clan, and the Tuoba clan. Even the leaders who originally controlled three to five hundred households
, and are not allowed to permanently reside in their place of origin.”
"Most of the cavalry in Xixia are originally soldiers in war and for the people in leisure time. Some cavalry can be selected, whether they are to be instructors of the cavalry of the country or the cavalry, or they can be broken up and attached to the armies of the country and the court, in order to avoid the gathering of party members.
.”
"Dangxiang people who join the army must leave the northwest. The cabinet recommends that Hebei Province be used for good and reserve for the country to recover Yanyun..."
The cabinet's settlement of Xixia was a collective decision made after discussions. Fu Bi's report really made Zhao Xi feel that the cabinet was careful about these matters.
However, this is a big principle, or a long-term arrangement principle. The approach is a bit gentle, which somewhat shows the way of the sages and kings.
"Pay attention to the scale. If you kill the snake, you will be harmed by it. The conduct of the party members must be carefully considered by the cabinet, especially when it comes to the placement of the party's troops. Try to avoid future troubles as much as possible."
Xixia is like a baby, and there are still some things that need to be reminded. In view of the conduct of the foreign generals in the previous dynasty, I believe that the court officials can handle it well.
Thousands of nobles and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, even Zhao Xi couldn't make such a decision when it came to killing. The so-called royal way or overbearing, the focus is on the essence, not the surface. As for how to manipulate people, Zhao Xi still has a better understanding of the cabinet.
trust.
······
The war is over, this time it should be really over.
The Xingqing Prefecture sent envoys more and more frequently, and the Xixia officials who came to the front line were getting higher and higher in rank.
However, the troops on the front line of the Song Dynasty never relaxed. Even the imperial edict also required this: if the party members did not disarm, it meant that war would break out at any time; if the Xingqing Mansion did not enter Beijing, it would mean that
As long as Xixia still exists, the goal of the war has not been achieved.
"Enter Beijing? Surrender unconditionally?"
"Back at home, it's true. The cabinet has never entered into substantive negotiations with Xixia, and the envoys sent by the Ministry of Rites have been testing. The cabinet unanimously believes that the behavior of Xixia's envoys is unfair..."
To put it bluntly, it's just a matter of control, but I didn't expect that Xingqing Mansion would not be able to bear it. The cabinet members are indeed very good at this.
"The so-called war negotiations, when it comes to the current actual situation ahead, are already about how to reward the party members after the victory of the country. In order to avoid the unrealistic fantasies of the party members, in view of the current situation in Xingqing and Yinxia, the cabinet chose to delay·
·····”
Perhaps this method is the best at present.
Hundreds of thousands of troops were concentrated in the Xingqing and Yinxia areas. Xixia had several major grain-producing areas and grazing areas. The imperial court had completely captured them. The moment they decided to surrender, the fate of the entire Xixia was sealed...
····Let the Song Dynasty knead it.
There is no other way, and it goes without saying that we cannot win. At this point in the war, the party members have already had trouble keeping their mouths shut.
The depth of Xixia has been compressed by the state. Hundreds of thousands of generals and soldiers, plus the court composition of Xingqing Prefecture, aborigines, and the entire Xingqing Prefecture will not be able to maintain it even if the Song Army does not attack.
"Let the Ministry of Rites take care of it. The Xixia standing army will be disarmed on the spot and dealt with according to the established principles of the court. Those so-called string-controlling soldiers should be dealt with on the principle that there is no hidden danger."
Zhao Xi also has some headaches. With hundreds of thousands of people, resettlement is indeed a big problem.
"Officials, due to the problems of industrial development in various parts of the country, the number of employees in this dynasty can no longer meet the development needs of the industry. Some of the ministers have suggested whether the soldiers can be surrendered as slaves..."
Zhao Xi was a little stunned for a moment. There seems to be no concept of slave in Zhao Xi's concept, and there is no such thing as slave in this dynasty.
"Yes, let the cabinet draw up a plan."
There were no slaves in the Song Dynasty, but there were slaves in Xixia. In other words, some soldiers themselves were slaves. Zhao Xi thought about it and agreed. In a sense, being hired by the industrial owners of the country was a big deal for Party Xiang.
