The two masters visited in tandem, Zhao Yu was not surprised, and it was time to calculate that the time had come. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Of course, all this stems from the military reform plan, some of which are too sensitive, that is, about the blank collar badge on his collar, of course, this is also the most difficult part, this is not only to change the situation of the dynasty, but also to change the tradition of the Great Song Dynasty that has lasted for three hundred years, but he still changed into a sailor uniform before coming out to meet the guests again.

"Your Majesty, what kind of clothes is this?" Ying Jieyan looked at Zhao Yu wearing such clothes and walked over, and said in some surprise.

"Sir, is it pretty?" Zhao Hao asked with a grin.

"This ...... It looks like Your Majesty has lost some weight! Ying Jieyan squinted his eyes and looked up and down, frowning.

"Really? What does Mr. Jiang think? Zhao Yu touched his belly and was indeed a little smaller, but he felt that he was tired and had nothing to do with the military uniform, so he asked Jiang Xuan again.

"It looks good, is this made by His Majesty himself?" Jiang Xuan tilted his neck and nodded, praised and asked. He knew that except for the little emperor, he was afraid that no one in the entire dynasty would be able to come up with such a thing that was incompatible with the world's style, but it was indeed beautiful in his heart.

"Jiang Shangshu, this is the navy uniform designed by His Majesty for the new army!" Wang De sent tea and said.

"Oh, Your Majesty still has such a will to be idle!" Jiang Xuan and Ying Jieyan looked at each other with some amusement.

"Jiang Shangshu's words are wrong, what Your Majesty is doing is not frolic, but meaningful......" Su Lan was upset for His Majesty when she heard this, and told the two of them about the function that His Majesty said just now.

"Hehe, Your Majesty is really exhaustive, even a military uniform can be so thoughtful, why is he so hasty in major matters?" After listening to Su Lan's words, Ying Jieyan's gaze stayed on his face for a moment, and then turned to the little emperor.

"Sir, why do you say this, this Chinese New Year is not just for reprimanding me, is it?" Zhao Yu saw the old man smiling with bad intentions, and asked vigilantly.

"The minister doesn't dare, tomorrow is the Shangyuan Festival, Zuo Xiang and Xu Shangshu have no time to separate in preparing for the Lantern Festival, so I specially ordered the two of us to tell Your Majesty something that should be informed!" Strict etiquette should be given.

"Hehe, this kind of thing is that the two of Zuo Xiang can't take care of it, and it should be Governor Liu's coming, but it is too strange to bother Mr. Lao and the military department Shangshu to talk to me about etiquette?" Zhao Yu looked at the two and said with a smile.

"Ahem......" Ying Jieyan, who was drinking tea, choked on it, and hurriedly covered his face with his sleeves and coughed.

"Hurry up and help Mr. thump his back!" Zhao Yu saw it and hurriedly ordered Wang Dedao.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Ying Jieyan coughed a few times and waved his hand repeatedly.

"The two gentlemen must have come for the military reform, if you have something to say, just say it, there is no need to detour around the bush." Zhao Yu said.

"Governor, look ......" Jiang Xuan's face was also red, and he said with his sleeves strict.

"The old man said that he would discuss it after the New Year, you have to pull the old man here!" Ying Jieyan flicked down his sleeves and glared at Jiang Xuan.

"Okay, okay, I'm anxious about this matter, but ......" Jiang Xuan said helplessly after hearing this.

"Did the two gentlemen disagree on the plan? If there is a discussion between our master and apprentice, what is not easy to say, there are no outsiders here! Zhao Hao saw the appearance of the two of them, and he already understood most of them.

He knew that the military department that benefited the most from the military reform program was the military department, whose functions and powers were expanded, and it was no longer a dispensable place for leisure, but an important department that could be shared with the household department after it became the official department. Jiang Xuan, as Shangshu, is of course the biggest beneficiary, as long as he does this well, he will be half a step away from the phase. However, he should be strict and old, and understand that the military reform will inevitably infringe on the interests of some people, so he naturally has reservations about the sensitive issues, and even opposes them, and the disagreement between the two will lead to a dispute, so he has come to himself for an explanation.

"Since Your Majesty said so, the governor doesn't have to hesitate anymore!" Jiang Xuan listened to this, and immediately turned to Ying Jieyan Dao.

"Zongbao, why are you still so frizzy, if the old man is still there, he will definitely scold!" Jiang Xuan's words made Ying Jieyan a little embarrassed, and pointed at his words.

"The visit of the two gentlemen, in my opinion, should be a matter of military reform, which is related to the division of the military branches and the abolition of the three ya, and the reorganization of the various armies, etc., the battalion will not cause much opposition in the DPRK and China!" Zhao Yu didn't want to tease them anymore, so he got straight to the point, and when he saw the two of them, he nodded and said, "As for strengthening the military department and presiding over the military and political affairs, I think that although there will be opposition, it will not become an obstacle." The difficult thing is the change of class and the transfer of civil and military capital, and I also have doubts about this, so I asked the two gentlemen to review it first! ”

"Your Majesty is right, and the old man also thinks so, if you readjust the class and break the boundary between civil and military, it will not only violate the law of the ancestors, but also make the scholars dissatisfied. If it is forcibly advanced, I am afraid that it will cause a shock in the imperial court. Ying Jieyan nodded.

"Sir, I thought that although there would be resistance to this matter, but the current war is continuous, and it is the time for the warriors to contribute, if it is still blindly suppressed, it is not conducive to the great cause of restoring the country. His Majesty put the Ministry of War in charge of military affairs, and the Privy Council was only responsible for the war, which was better than the previous law. Jiang Xuan then also expressed the differences between the two, obviously holding a supportive attitude.

"Zongbao, you have to know that Taizu and Taizong were able to reverse the disadvantages of the tyranny of the martial arts with the strength of the two dynasties, and to protect my Great Song Dynasty for three hundred years, there has been no rebellion in the feudal towns of the previous dynasty, although there are drawbacks, but it is not the case......" Ying Jieyan retorted, but he was silent when he spoke, and he obviously knew the drawbacks of it.

"Both gentlemen are well-educated people, and they must know the rise and fall of each dynasty, and they know the checks and balances between civil and military. But it should also be known that the distinction between civil and military was not actually before the Han Dynasty, and it was common for civil ministers to lead troops to fight, and it was common for warriors to occupy the phase; Even in the Tang Dynasty, the warriors managed the place, and the scholars led the troops to expand the territory. Although these two dynasties were destroyed by the military ministers, they also established the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties, until the Taizu of our dynasty knew the disadvantages of it, so that the civil and military became more and more estranged...... "Since we talk about history, Zhao Yu also said his own point of view.

He knew that the Two Song Dynasty were another period in which China moved from division to unification. It reversed the situation of the decline of the central power and the incessant social warfare in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, and brought the centralized power of feudal absolutism to a new peak. "The origin of political affairs is greater than the official system", the reason why the feudal autocracy and centralization of power in the Song Dynasty can be maintained for 300 years is that the administrative management system laid down in the early Northern Song Dynasty has indeed played a great role.

The Zhao and Song dynasties, which were established through a military coup, did not touch the bureaucracy of the Later Zhou Dynasty in order to stabilize people's minds and reduce the threat of the old forces to the new dynasty; In the process of the unification war of "first the south and then the north" between the two dynasties of Taizu and Taizong, the method of "pseudo-signing and still being" was also adopted. However, this is nothing more than a strategy. They punished the late Tang Dynasty and the five dynasties for the malpractices of "weak monarchs and strong ministers", "division of feudal towns", and "arbitrary power of military ministers", and added new institutions next to the old institutions.

However, the official system formulated by the old two is not only for warriors, but also for scholars. For example, next to the door of the Chinese book, there are three divisions; Next to the officials and military departments, there are also inquisitors in the east and west courts, three class courtyards, and liunequan; Next to the Criminal Department, a criminal court was established; Next to Taichang Temple, another Taichang Rite Temple is built; On the side of the secretary province, there are three other secret cabinets, etc., to divide the power of the minister and the power of the provincial ministry and the temple supervisor, so that a large number of old officials who are retained can not grasp the real power, but also make them involved with each other, so that the emperor can control and manipulate.

At the same time, in order to combat the arrogance of the warriors, the Song court also formulated a variety of systems to restrict the military ministers, such as setting more ranks for the military attachés, and obliging them to make side merits. At the same time, step by step, he appointed a talented provincial Taisi supervisor Wenchen Jing Dynasty official to serve as the governor of the prefecture and the county, so as to take over the power of the places held by the military ministers such as the Jiedu envoy and the regimental training envoy. The military attaché who was originally sitting in the local area was given a generous salary, and his power was stripped away, so that he became a noble rank for the transfer of military ministers.

"What Your Majesty said is good, Taizu ruled the world with scholars back then, but he weakened the power of the prime minister and suppressed the power of the warriors, which really meant to establish the imperial power alone!" Ying Jieyan had to admit that Taizu's national policy in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China was to use scholars to contain the warriors and prevent the recurrence of the division of feudal towns.

"I think that Taizu's strategy is to invade the two powers, not to subordinate the martial arts to the people, but the literary style after Renzong is becoming more and more prosperous, and the status of the martial arts is becoming more and more inferior, and the strategy of using literature to control the martial arts. As a result, there were few victories in the battles of Khitan and Western Xia, and the subsequent battles against Jin and Mongolia, and the reason for this is that I think the two gentlemen also know ......," Zhao said.

He divided the Northern Song Dynasty into two periods, before and after, based on the time of Song Zhenzong and Renzong, and made a comparative analysis of the changes in the status of those who came from the military positions of the cardinal government. In the later period, the official system has become more and more strict on martial artists, and if a soldier accumulates military merits and is promoted, then he will not affect the discrimination of others against him because of the change of status. The alternative Wang Deyong and Di Qing, their encounters in the Privy Council are almost the same as the endings of Ma Zhijie and Cao Wei in the past.

Especially during the period of Song Renzong, the second governor of Xifu, who was born as a military general, was despised as a mediocre person; or if you have a small military achievement, you will be suspicious and attacked, and you will almost become an ornament. After arriving in Jiayou, the Privy Council actually became the domination of the civil ministers, and the military generals were almost wiped out, and the phenomenon of the Privy Council being the seat of the Privy Council with the cowardly military ministers was really ridiculous, and it confirmed the name of the weak Song Dynasty.

"What Your Majesty said is good, but it is a little biased, but this policy has protected the Great Song Dynasty for three hundred years, and it is not contemptuous to give generous gifts to the martial artists!" Ying Jieyan listened to the little emperor's big argument, and his heart was not very happy. He is well aware of the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty, and scholars also have an unshirkable responsibility. And his opinion of His Majesty has also changed, and his heart is not good at this child's historical studies, but the way of this holy king is clear.

"Mr. said this a little reluctantly, the contemporary Zhang Yan once commented: The Song Dynasty treated the military ministers well, and they were generous and courteous." Zhao Yu smiled and distinguished, "Zai Zhifu Bi is even dissatisfied, saying: The privy envoy is in charge of the world's military handle, and the martial power of the Son of Heaven, like Xia Shouyun, who has neither a clear name nor a lack of talent, will be ridiculed by the people of the world." You must know that! ”

"This ...... The minister knows, but the minister thinks that His Majesty will change the official system of the military man, parallel to the civil minister, so as to transfer capital, and he needs to be cautious! Ying Jieyan had to admit that the strategy of using literature to control the military was played bad by the scholars, and there was a suspicion of overkill, but he was still cautious about His Majesty's change of the official system.

"What Mr. said is good, but if this drawback is not removed, I am afraid that it will be difficult for soldiers to use their lives, and it is even more empty talk to restore the country!" Zhao Yu frowned after hearing this, although he agreed with what he said that there would be resistance to changing the official system, but what he said later could not be said to be serious.

Zhao Hao waited for several years to understand the low status of the warriors of the Song Dynasty, which was not only manifested in the distribution of power, but also suppressed in promotion. And these are not only the extreme embodiment of the policy of "controlling military force with literature" at that time, but also the product of conservative politics during the curtain period of Empress Dowager Liu, it seems that only in this way can the status of military generals be pressed to the extreme.

The military attachés of the Song Dynasty were distinguished from their rank and military ranks. Martial rank officer is a fictitious title that indicates the rank of the official, determines the grade and the rank without the actual position, and the military rank is promoted at the same time as the rank officer is also said to be promoted to the corresponding grade, but this has also become a tool for the scholars to suppress the warriors. In the early period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the official products of the Tang Dynasty were always 30 ranks, and the official products and titles were basically in accordance with the "Tang Official Products Order". There are 29 levels of civil and military officials, except for the lack of a regular rank, since the first rank is below the first rank, there is no difference in determining the uniforms of civil and military officials.

Things changed in the year of Zhenghe, with the "Edict on the Election of Officials by Changing the Military Force" as the boundary, which was divided into two stages: the old name in the early stage and the new official name in the later stage. However, regardless of the old and new names, the military rank is composed of several levels of high and low levels: the main official, the remote county official, the rampant official, the chief envoy of the division, the deputy envoy of the division, the ambassador minister, the small envoy, and the miscellaneous rank below the palace attendant who has no quality and is not tied to the grinding and investigation. The characteristic of the new name change is that the different levels of military ranks have been integrated into 52 ranks from Taiwei to Chengxinlang, but the official ranks of civil and military officials have not changed, forming a different system of civil and military affairs.

In the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, further adjustments were made, and the Zhulang was moved under the doctor, and the second rank of Wupin's martial rank Jinyong lieutenant and Shouque Jinyong lieutenant were added, so that the miscellaneous rank was increased to eight ranks; plus the fifty-two ranks of the product, a total of sixty ranks, and the military ministers and the chamberlain are universal. The most direct impact of this is that it leads to a long way for the warriors to be promoted.

As a modern person, Zhao Yu certainly knows that promotion is linked to salary, and if there is no hope for promotion, the first choice is often to fire the leader's squid. But the Great Song Dynasty soldiers are lifelong, and if they want to leave, unless they are dead, disabled or retired, then there is no hope of promotion and salary increase, and it is difficult to leave, the first choice is to become a mess, how to be comfortable. What is the condition of an army that has no motivation and no morale, everyone can probably think of it with their feet, and when they go to the battlefield, they are afraid that if they don't run, they are already worthy of the skin on their bodies, and they must be expected to win the battle unless they are saints......
