Approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, the city of Shengzhou is filled with the atmosphere of festivals. Du Zhongxiao specially ordered Chang Pingsi to purchase a large amount of pork and fruits from the capital to supply the festival market, one is to ensure the price of the market, and the other is to highlight the festive atmosphere.

On this day, Du Zhongxiao was in the official hall, checking with Li Fugui the festival food supplies of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The 160,000 troops on Hequ Road, plus nearly 200,000 troops in Yingtianxiang, are all big numbers for one person and one month, and they can't be sloppy at all. From what each person is given, to what the generals and soldiers eat, what wine they drink, and how much fruit they allocate during the festival, weigh them one by one.

At this moment, a soldier walked in quickly, and said with a forked hand: "Jie Shuai, the station is coming, and an hour later, the Anbei Army will command Zhang Yu and his party at Shengzhou Station." The official documents of the imperial court were sent over together, and the marshal was asked to take a look. ”

After speaking, he handed the official document to the guard on the side, and the guard put it on Du Zhongxiao's case.

Du Zhongxiao said to Li Fugui: "Let's do this matter." Don't be afraid to spend money, let the soldiers eat and drink well, and have a happy Mid-Autumn Festival. Most of them traveled far away from their hometowns, and the first Mid-Autumn Festival spent in other places was more lively. ”

Lee Fu-gyu promised. took the official document approved by Du Zhongxiao and went to the official hall on the side to use the seal.

Du Zhongxiao casually picked up the official document on the case, opened it, and unfolded it to watch. After a cursory look, I couldn't help frowning, not knowing whether I should laugh or be sad. Happily, Zhang Qi brought 1,000 recruits into Beijing, and compared with the soldiers who had been trained by the forbidden army in Beijing and the generals in the Beijing Military Academy, he was able to win a big victory. Compared with the results of Wenbi, the general of the Beijing Military Academy, Zhang Qi's results are in the middle. This result is not easy, there are a large number of fallen students in the Beijing Military Academy, learning the knowledge in books, and they have too much advantage over Zhang Qi. Among the general generals of the forbidden army, Zhang Qi's results were among the best, and he did not live up to Yang Wenguang's attentive teaching a month ago.

As a result of the soldiers' comparison of the military posture array, the recruits on Hequ Road were not inferior to the forbidden army in the capital, and the result set by the Privy Council was a draw. This was beyond Du Zhongxiao's expectations, originally he thought that the forbidden army in the capital was all elite soldiers, and it should be advantageous in this.

As a result of the most important combat drill between the two sides, Zhang Qi led the army to a complete victory. From the command to the quality of the soldiers, to the completion of various indicators, it comprehensively overwhelmed the forbidden army in the capital. The two sides faced each other, and the forbidden army in the capital was divided and surrounded by Zhang Qi, and even Du Zhongxiao was a little unconvinced.

In the end, the Privy Council informed Hequlu that in view of the defeat of the forbidden army in the capital of the exercise was too ugly, it was decided to exchange between the two places. The ministers of the DPRK and China who accompanied Zhang Qi to Hequ Road included the privy envoy Di Qing, the deputy envoy Sun Wei, the commander of Ma Jundu Wang Kai, the new commander of the Tianwu Sixiang Li Zhang, Liu Jianji of the Zhisan Ban Academy, and Wang Gongchen, a bachelor of Hanlin. The rest of the instructors of the Beijing Military Academy and more than 100 middle- and lower-ranking officers studying at the military academy came to Hequ Road with them to exchange with the instructors and cadets of the Hequ Road Military Academy, which was limited to half a year.

Ben Ru got a good result, of course, it was a happy event, but the next arrangement of the Privy Council was really not happy. With so many high-ranking officials and ministers coming at once, and the military academy exchanging instructors and cadets, what kind of happy event can it be?

Du Zhongxiao is not domineering, but he is the handsome man all the way, and he has the final say in everything, and he is used to being unrestrained. With so many people coming at once, life is not so comfortable.

Now that there is a railway, it is only a day or two away from a thousand miles, and the officials in the capital have slowly developed the habit of running around. At first, it was a few yamen led by the three divisions who did this, and soon the other yamen learned. There were big and suspicious cases in the locality, and the trial court and Dali Temple began to send people out to supervise the trial, no longer relying only on official documents. When the Yushitai got the news, he sometimes took the initiative to send officials down to investigate, and he no longer just relied on the music to scare people. The Privy Council was even more diligent, and sent people to the side of the road, saying that it was to understand the situation on the side.

The officials of the imperial court ran diligently, and the powers of the local magistrates were more or less deprived, and they secretly slandered themselves, but they did not dare to speak out. The Song Dynasty was highly centralized, almost all power was concentrated in the imperial court, and the magistrates had no capital to contend with. As a complete administrative hierarchy that changed from a feudal town, the prefect was only a governor of military affairs, and was nominally an official sent by the imperial court. In the local area, they say the same, but when they face the yamen of the DPRK and the central government, they can only obey their words.

A small official in the yamen of the capital can make a landlord official unable to eat and walk around. They go to local areas frequently, and it is inevitable that they will interfere in local affairs, solicit and accept bribes, and many other chaotic phenomena. This year, there was a fierce struggle in the imperial court, and it was requested to restrict the yamen in the capital from sending people to the localities, but all parties were fighting each other, and no results had yet come out.

These people who came to Hequ Road were even more terrible, they received a holy decree, took the privy order, and the privy envoy personally led the team, and several of them had higher official positions than Du Zhongxiao. With such a group of people here, how does Du Zhongxiao manage Hequ Road?

Throwing the official document on the case, Du Zhongxiao thought for a while and shook his head gently.

With so many people coming, the most likely thing is that the ministers in the court were stimulated by the results of this military exercise. Du Zhongxiao didn't know what the military academy in the capital was doing, and no one would come to report to him, and now that he thinks about it, he is afraid that many places are different from when he was in Suizhou.

Thinking about it, I was in the Suizhou training camp Tianxiang Army back then, I had no money, no equipment, no establishment, everything was rustic. Most of the officers are fake, regents, and they don't even have an establishment, and they are issued by the camp and the fields, and they are not according to the standards of the imperial court. The so-called teaching materials are all made up by a group of military generals and even soldiers who have little culture, and they practice while learning. The language used in the textbook is vulgar, if it sounds good, it is concise and clear, and if it is not good, it is a country saying. The compilation is a little bit of a trial in the study exercise, and finally groped out, and there is no historical origin, no upper-level top-level design.

These are used for teaching, in the eyes of the court officials, how can they be seen? From the bachelors of Hanlin to the scholars in the pavilion, who is not rich in learning, who knows astronomy and geography, how can they look at these things.

These things can't be looked down on, but the generals of Sanya feel that it is too difficult. This is not unusual, most of the generals who enter the military academy here on Hequ Road feel that the knowledge they learn is too difficult. Some people are too lazy to spend their brains, and would rather go to the camp Tianxiang Army, or change the military post to a military position, and go to the local area to be a patrol inspector rather than enter the military colonel. The text looks simple, but there is a lot of mathematics in the textbook, as well as some physics and chemistry, which can be accepted by military generals who are even proud of their illiteracy.

According to Du Zhongxiao's old routine of coming to the military academy, the civilian officials looked down on it, and they were not treated well by the generals, so it was not easy to come to Yang Jin. In the end, it must be a hodgepodge of opinions from all sides, who made Yang Jin's official position not high, and there was a group of people around him.

The ministers of the imperial court thought that after the perfection of so many officials, the Beijing Military Academy would definitely be much stronger than the meandering road. As a result, in the first drill between the two sides, Zhang Qi slapped him in the face, and he lost without even an excuse. If they don't react violently, they are afraid that they will not be able to explain to the emperor.

Thinking about Zhang Qi's sincere and frightened appearance before leaving, for fear of losing his prestige, Du Zhongxiao now feels that he can't cry or laugh. At that time, I comforted him not to take his grades too seriously, and not to be psychologically burdened, but now it seems that the comfort is not enough. It's better not to ask Yang Wenguang to help him, let him enter Beijing like that, maybe he won't make such a big deal.
