In the Song Dynasty, the policy of emphasizing literature over military force made many educated and relatively talented people enter the bureaucratic system through the imperial examination, and excluded the military collective; The military collective could not command the army well, and it was fashionable and able to deal with it well in small-scale operations, but it was often difficult to avoid difficulties in large-scale battles, which was more obvious in the previous large and small battles of the Song Dynasty.

The army is the pillar of a country, and in order to maintain a stable team, there is no other way to do so. And the simplest benefit is naturally a high salary and reward, the Song Dynasty suppressed the status of martial artists, and the salary for ordinary soldiers was very low, but it was very generous to give military generals a lot of money, basically the salary standard of military generals with a little grade was a hundred enemies, and one of them was worth the salary of hundreds of small soldiers.

After the restructuring of Yuanfeng, it was also the official title of Wupin, and the monthly salary of the civil official Zhongfeng Doctor was forty-five guan, and the defense envoy of the military general was two hundred. In addition, when the envoy can also participate in the return of trade on the border, the owner of this public fund will be free to use it as entertainment expenses, arrange for relatives to eat idle meals, or reimburse some white slips, which the emperor does not consider to be corruption.

As a result, the salaries of low-level civil servants are only considered to be middle-class, and there are still many relatives in the family to take care of, and under the premise of the tense economic situation, some civil officials are still willing to transfer to military attachés. But in the eyes of the scholars of the Song Dynasty, this is a turbid current, which is despised by the entire class, or a desperate way for the scholars to be promoted.

In the Renzong Dynasty, the Western Xia War broke out, Fan Zhongyan was appointed as the deputy envoy of Shaanxi Jingluo to pacify, and Han Qi dealt with the military affairs of the Northwest together.

When Fan Zhongyan was in the household department, the monthly material was thirty-five guan, and he was forcibly transferred to the military duty observer envoy by Renzong, and this position, like the privy envoy, was originally the position of the top eunuch in the Tang Dynasty, and his monthly material money suddenly rose to two hundred, which was equivalent to the prime minister. In addition, he has 20,000 yuan of "return" money every year on the northwest frontier. However, he still resolutely resigned and refused to change to a military position, so the attraction of high salaries to scholars who paid attention to reputation was still limited, and there were many ways for civil officials to make money.

The second is promotion, although the promotion of civil officials in the Song Dynasty is far stronger than that of military attaches in terms of time and procedure, but in wartime military attaches can enter the fast lane of promotion at different levels, and many civilian officials who are familiar with military books hope to transfer to military attaches when their careers are hopeless. The most typical example of this is the Chong family, which was originally a civil official family, but in the generation of Chong Shiheng, he joined the army, relying on the head of the party and became a famous general.

Chong Shiheng's sons Seed Doctor, Seed Diagnosis, and Seed Tree originally had civil positions such as Dianzhongcheng and Dr. Guozi, and Lu Gongbi and others also saw the genetic talent of the breeder for cutting people, and recommended them to enter the military world. The brothers also proved that they deserved to be the "seeds" of murder, and established the glory of the breeders in the northwest. In the Water Margin that we are familiar with, Lu Zhishen and Wang Jin and other heroes admired the old species and the small species were originally civil officials, and they were first civil officials and then became generals. Of course, in order to ensure the insurance period, many civilian officials still retain their civilian status when they transfer to military posts, as long as the military attaché is dispatched.

The world is diverse, and there are also alternative heroes who love to change jobs among the civil officials of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin likes the civil officials who are good at hands-on the most, and he has done the palace test to let the jinshi wrestle and grab the champion, and also let the champions learn how to calm the place, hoping that the civil officials will take a penny to "work two jobs" to achieve the best cost performance.

Zhao Guangyi is not at ease with the generals left behind by his brother, and trusts his relatives and the old people of the mansion the most. During the reign of Zhao Guangyi, the generals were very depressed, but it was easy for the civil officials to change to military generals, as long as they were recommended by the bigwigs. This made many civilian officials with martial arts habits take advantage of the loopholes. Wang Sizong is the champion selected by Zhao Kuangyin, but he also has the temper and kung fu of a military general, and he often scolds and even fights with his colleagues.

During the period of Zhao Guangyi, he liked to participate in military affairs, and after Song Zhenzong came to power, he simply transferred to Yaozhou as an observer. After Wang Zhuangyuan's transfer, it was smooth sailing, not only did he get more salary, but he was also promoted to the deputy privy envoy and the envoy of the festival, but he was still bullied by the then prime minister Kou Laoxi, and finally retired as a lieutenant.

Although the Song Dynasty produced many Confucian generals such as Di Qing, Yue Fei and Meng Hui, they were not born as scholars, or marched in the army, or became generals, and grew up step by step with their own abilities, and their fame can also be said to have been created in a special historical period. In this way, they were inevitably discriminated against politically, were suspicious of the emperor, and the suppression and suppression of the civil servants did not reverse the low status of the warriors.

Zhao Yu took over such a mess, and he made great efforts to change the state of the army. For example, night schools were set up in the army to teach soldiers to read and write, and to improve their cultural literacy. At the same time, martial arts were restored, and cultural and computing courses were set up to train reserve military talents. In addition, when recruiting soldiers, literacy will be given priority recruitment, and will be used as the training object of grassroots officers.

On the other hand, Zhao Yu also gave special treatment to the soldiers who joined the army, and those who were outstanding could be directly sent to martial arts to study and be awarded official positions. However, these tasks were carried out very hard, and he even hit the idea on the scholars who failed in the imperial examination, but most of the people who were recruited were those who had no food and clothing, and there was no hope for the imperial examination again, and more unsuccessful scholars would rather choose to stay in the temple and study hard than from Rong.

Therefore, the current training of officers is more self-training, and soldiers with excellent performance are selected to enter the junior class to learn culture and military affairs at the same time, and then enter the intermediate class after selection. Such a training model inevitably leads to the extension of the training cycle, and junior and junior officers are the backbone and backbone of the army, the greatest demand, and the greatest loss in battle, but it is difficult to replenish the army in batches, which has become a headache for Zhao Hao.

When Zhao Yu implemented the separation of military and political affairs, he took the military as the secretary of the military department, but he also used the civilian official as the marquis of the army to take charge of the government order. In addition to deliberately improving the status of the warrior in the army, he also has his helplessness. Civilian officials are reluctant to transfer to the military, so they can only use this compromise to strike a balance, hoping to have more effective control over the army. Through this, the intention is to enable the soldiers to understand the army better and be willing to serve in the army.

In addition, Zhao Yu is also implementing the same rank of civil and military at the same time, so as to improve the status of martial artists and ensure the smooth promotion channels. At the same time, it ensures the adequacy of military spending and improves the material treatment of military personnel, which in turn makes it more attractive to join the army. While these measures are beginning to bear fruit, there is still a long way to go to change the mindset that has been ingrained for centuries.

Now that Wang Yinglin proposed to let Xie Ming be transferred to a military position, Zhao Yu thought that it would be a good strategy under the current situation, that is, it would be conducive to stabilizing the morale of the Eighth Army and maintaining combat effectiveness. However, there is no precedent for the conversion of high-ranking civil officials to military positions in this dynasty, not because they do not want to, but because no one wants to. And to forcibly transfer Xie Ming, he believes that Xie Ming will do what he is told, but this will be regarded as a bad example by civilian officials, which in turn will trigger a greater backlash......

Zhao Yu thought about it for a while, and discussed it after meeting, and under the current situation, he personally went to Dengcheng to raise the army, but it seemed that there was something wrong with it. Of course, he was not worried that his safety was not guaranteed, but it was a bit of a bargain for him to let him wipe Zhang Ba's ass in person, so he ordered Zhang Ba to lead the officials above the commander of the Eighth Army to Fancheng to meet him, and the officers and soldiers stayed in Dengcheng for the time being.

Later, Zhao Yu ordered the move to Fancheng. The big war in the city was settled, and the people were panicked, so he naturally saved the ceremony of forcing the old people and gentry in the city to lead the people to eat pots and wine. Instead, under the escort of the army, he entered the city by the middle gate, and at this time the city head had been replaced with the Great Song Dragon Banner, and although the city was under martial law, the people were not forced to go to the streets, after all, the people still had to live, and they would only starve if they stayed at home.

"Greetings to Your Majesty......"

"Wang Shibei is back, God bless the Great Song!"

Driving slowly on the street, Zhao Yu pulled the curtain to look at each other, from time to time someone knelt on the side of the road and shouted long live, some old people cried in grief on the ground, some Confucians sighed, and some walkers looked at each other indifferently, and there were more naughty children chasing and frolicking. Such a scene made him have mixed tastes, Xiangfan has only been lost for more than ten years, but it has changed beyond recognition, but the people who have been through the war for a long time do not know how many hearts are still towards the Great Song Dynasty, and how many people have resentment against the imperial court.

Wage war and expand your territory. It is regarded as a monument to himself by the emperors, and is regarded as a great achievement by countless famous generals and ministers, and how many heroes have risen to step into the court since then. But the change of Wang Qi seems to have only death and suffering for the people, and they only care about whether the family is safe tomorrow, whether they can fill their stomachs, whether they can keep their meager property and wealth, and they are not so concerned about who is in power.

Zhao Yu did not intend to blame the people's 'lack of affection', but felt that he was really guilty as the king of a country, his arrival did not bring stability and wealth to the people, but brought killing, blood and fire, how can he force their allegiance and love. But he could not stop the war, because he understood that only war can eliminate war, only short-term suffering can bring long-term peace and stability, and the sacrifice of a generation can be exchanged for peace in the future.

Thinking of this, the trace of loosening in Zhao Hao's heart became strong again, he couldn't mistake the country and harm future generations because of a moment of weakness. We can't let go of the rule breakers and block our own progress because of a momentary soft-heartedness. As for personal honor and disgrace, it is the most insignificant, and the merits and demerits also have their own posterity to comment, he only needs to tell future generations that he has come and changed the world, and what is the meaning of false fame for a dead person......
