Before he could finish speaking, the soldier served the food. Li Fugui said loudly: "Fried fish pieces!" Yellow River carp, soybean oil—"

Di Qing raised his hand violently and said to Du Zhongxiao: "Jinglu, you just have a light meal, and these etiquettes will be saved." ”

Du Zhongxiao nodded, and Li Fu said in a loud voice: "Privy Counsellor Junzhi, everyone serve the food as soon as possible, and the guests can enjoy some wine and rice." Unnecessary false courtesy, just save it. ”

The soldier who was serving the food responded with a promise, and the speed was significantly faster.

Wang Gongchen watched the soldier put a plate of sauced beef on the table, and said curiously to Li Fugui who came over: "Shuai Si usually eats, is it like this?" ”

Li Fugui said: "Back to Nehan, of course not. We eat mostly in the cafeteria, and drink tea after meals instead of dinner, otherwise it will be too restrictive. ”

Wang Gongchen listened and said curiously: "You yourself know that it is not good to be restrained during meals, why do you still do this today." After a good meal, I didn't dare to raise my glass and put down my chopsticks when you talked about it there. ”

Li Fugui said: "You are all ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee, privy councillors and privy deputies, bachelors of Hanlin, and generals of the army, which are unusual and comparable. In order to show solemnity, I have ordered everything today to follow the regulations, and those who dare to commit it will be severely punished! ”

When Wang Gongchen heard this, he shook his head: "Hey, don't you just let us eat and drink well!" ”

Li Fugui said: "Neihan misunderstood, and Jingluo never had this intention. Since he ascended to the throne, he has been an official outside, and he does not know the rules of the capital, so he is afraid of neglecting you, so he orders everything to be in accordance with the regulations. Nehan knows that as soon as he says that according to the regulations, then all military law will be conducted, who dares to mess around! ”

Wang Gongchen nodded, and said to Sun Wei beside him: "I heard the meaning of this, but I still don't let us eat well." ”

Looking at the cold dishes, Di Qing raised his glass and said: "From the capital to Hequ Road, thousands of miles away, it is inevitable to work hard. Xie Du Jing prepared a wine feast for us and others, and I was very grateful for his hospitality. Let's have a drink, thank you! ”

Everyone raised their wine glasses together, thanked Du Zhongxiao, and drank it all. After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere was somewhat relaxed.

Wang Kai said to Du Zhongxiao: "Jingluo, why don't you see your generals tonight?" Without them, the table would have been a little deserted. ”

This is an acquaintance he knew when he was in the Volcano Army, Du Zhongxiao's face relaxed slightly, and said: "The Ningshuo army has commanded Yang Wenguang to be stationed in Shazhou, and recently the Khitan has mobilized troops and horses, and he does not dare to leave without permission in case of accidents. The Dingyuan army commanded Zhao Zi to lead troops to be stationed in Heishui City, where the new party item was obtained, and it was too far away from here, so he would not come to Shengzhou. Zhang Qi took the soldiers back to the barracks, and they had to settle down before they could come to drink with you. ”

Sun Wei said: "Zhang Sheng, the deputy envoy of the Economic Strategy, and Tian Jing, the Economic Judge, are not in Shengzhou for some reason. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Zhang Sheng and Tian Jing are in Fengzhou, building Fengzhou City, and they will not be able to come back in a few days." It snowed in August, and now it is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it will snow in a few days. They had to hurry to build the city so that the army could have a place to live before they could return to Shengzhou. ”

When Sun Wei was in the northwest, he and Zhang Sheng were colleagues, and Tian Jing was his subordinate, so he originally wanted to meet these two acquaintances, but it was unfortunate that he didn't want to.

Di Qing said to Du Zhongxiao: "Jinglu, this time we were ordered by the court to come to Hequ Road, mainly to see what the military academy here is like. In this military exercise in Beijing, Zhang Du commanded the army to win a complete victory, and the saint was extremely dissatisfied with the military academy in the capital. We have seen that, if necessary, we will send people from the military academy there to come here to learn from the practices of the Hequlu Military Academy and listen to the teachings of the scriptures. ”

Du Zhongxiao didn't dare, thought about it, and said: "The soldiers on Hequ Road and the forbidden army in the capital are tied, and there is no big difference in soldiers. I lost the exercise, and it seems that the study of officers at all levels in the capital has not yet begun. - For the drill, in fact, I don't care about the victory or defeat, it was like this when I was in Suizhou before, the key is what the participants learn from it. However, this time in the capital, the defeat of the forbidden army in the capital was too exaggerated, and I don't know what to say if I want to be modest. The two armies fought, the victory and defeat were commonplace, the defeat had been revealed, and it was really impossible to win. was unexpectedly surrounded by Zhang Qi, this is the annihilation of the whole army! The commander of this battle—"

Speaking of this, Du Zhongxiao shook his head again and again, he really didn't know what to say.

Whether it is in Suizhou or Hequ Road, the two armies are exercising, and Du Zhongxiao has not encountered the annihilation of one party. The requirements of Hequlu for his subordinate generals, the battlefield commander must always have a clear understanding of the battlefield, and organize a retreat in time when the war is unfavorable. The kind of general who doesn't care about the battle situation and has to fight to the death with the other party with his neck, no matter how brave he is, he will not be promoted to the position of commander.

Du Zhongxiao is not a conceited person, this time in the capital, he really wanted to be modest to Di Qing and others, but he really couldn't be modest. I have led the troops for so many years, and I have never seen it, Zhang Qi actually fought in the capital, which is really speechless. I don't know which general commanded it at that time, and whether he came today. If he comes, Du Zhongxiao really wants to get to know each other.

In fact, the results of the exercises between the two sides in the capital were even more exaggerated than Du Zhongxiao had imagined. The commander was the general of the army, and in the end, he carried the black cauldron, and Li Zhang replaced him as the commander of the four compartments of the day, Tianwu. During the battle, it was not only the general in charge of the army who commanded, but also many outstanding students of the Beijing School who served as staff officers by his side, which can be said to have concentrated the wisdom of the Beijing Military Academy. Unexpectedly, in the end, Zhang Qi completed the division and surroundment, and the same forces were completely annihilated.

Sighing, Du Zhongxiao said: "I don't know anything about the situation in the capital, so I'll ask General Zhang afterwards." Since the captain brought the ministers here for the military academy, then live in the military academy, okay? ”

Di Qing nodded: "That's how it should be!" All the personnel who came this time, if convenient, will be arranged to live in the military academy. ”

Du Zhongxiao called Li Fugui and said to him: "The privy lieutenant instructed that all the people who came from the capital this time live in the military academy, and you go and arrange it." It's too late today, so I'll spend the night in the city first, and tomorrow it's all over. ”

Li Fugui agreed and hurriedly arranged to go.

Watching Li Fugui leave, Di Qingqi said: "Jingluo, the military academy on Hequ Road is not in Shengzhou?" ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Of course, it's in Shengzhou." However, the military academy is special, not in the city, but twenty miles away from the city, do not build a military city. ”

Di Qing listened and nodded: "I see." I don't know why it's so arranged? ”

Du Zhongxiao was stunned for a moment, he hadn't even thought about this problem. At that time, the intuition was to arrange it this way, where there was a why. After thinking about it, he said: "Captain, for a military school, the emphasis is on strict discipline, learning knowledge, and having no distractions. If it is placed in the city, the market is complicated, and the people inside will inevitably be distracted. Moreover, the military academy is not as good as the garrison, and many of them are generals, so it is difficult to manage them too strictly. In the city, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts with the localities, and the officials are particularly tricky to deal with. ”

Di Qing nodded. Du Zhongxiao said: "In fact, the most important thing is that in the city, it is difficult to have a battlefield atmosphere, it is really the same as a school." ”

Di Qing suddenly realized when he heard this: "It is set up outside the city, so that the generals and soldiers inside are always like they are on the battlefield, so it is!" ”

Du Zhongxiao nodded. In fact, when it was set up, I didn't have so many ideas, I just felt that it was inappropriate in the city, and as for how many places were not suitable, where could I list them one by one. When I was in Suizhou, a place similar to a military academy was on the edge of the camp field, and I also practiced it.

However, the current Hequ Road is different from the time when it followed the state, when a large number of people were recruited and a large number of people were eliminated, and the surrounding environment of the school was not important. Now it is different, the quality of the soldiers is far from being comparable to that time, but there are no conditions for mass elimination. The transferred soldiers are all forbidden troops, and the generals and non-commissioned officers have official military status, unless it turns out that they are really unsuitable for joining the army, it will be troublesome to eliminate everyone.

Sun Wei listened to Di Qing and Du Zhongxiao's speeches, and interjected: "After a while, I think that the defeat of the Wujing Military Academy this time is because the generals can't study at home?" The generals of the Beijing Military Academy not only have generals in the army, but also the ones who have fallen into the first place this year, all of which have been carefully selected. The knowledge learned is also based on the booklet of the army, how can it be so poor. ”

Du Zhongxiao thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen this matter in person, so I really can't say it." ”

Sun Wei said: "Now, not only the strategy, but also the generals and ministers of the DPRK and China can't say why, and the saint is extremely angry. If there is no improvement this time, can we only let Jing Luo enter Beijing and preside over this matter? ”

Du Zhongxiao smiled: "If only one person can do this kind of thing, what's the use of setting up a military academy!" ”

Sun Wei sighed: "What Jing Luo said is true. ”

If a military academy can only be run by Du Zhongxiao, then what is the purpose of setting up a military academy. The purpose of establishing military academies is to train qualified soldiers and generals in accordance with a fixed procedure. If you can't achieve this goal, you might as well keep pumping people from the river meandering road.

In fact, before Zhang Qi, who went to Hequ Road, practiced, the ministers in the imperial court, including the emperor and the prime minister, were very satisfied with the Beijing Military Academy. Since its establishment, the emperor and his ministers have visited many times, and the emperor has constantly sent his ministers to reward and condole. Before the drill, the generals and soldiers of the Beijing Military Academy demonstrated the military formation to the courtiers many times, and also reproduced the content of the military exercise of the Hequ Road army in the Chongzheng Palace, and the ministers applauded. At that time, the DPRK and China unanimously agreed that with such a strong army of hundreds of thousands, it would be easy to dominate the world. As long as there is a year or two for the whole army to complete its training, all the party items and the Khitan will be like chickens and dogs. It is easy to go north to restore Youyan.

As a result, as soon as the soldiers arrived at the Hequ Road, they were stunned by Zhang Qi's palm.

The forbidden army in Beijing has better talents and better soldiers, so why can't it be done according to Du Zhongxiao's training back then? The people in the military academy couldn't raise their heads, the ministers of the DPRK and the central government wanted to break their heads, and the generals of the three yas felt that they couldn't raise their heads.
