The Privy Council, Du Zhongxiao and Tian Guo summoned the deputy envoys to meet with the newly arrived Zhao Zi and others to discuss follow-up matters.

After everyone finished the salute, they sat down, and Du Zhongxiao said: "The training of the forbidden army has officially started today. Under the Privy Council, in addition to the Yamen directly under the Chengzhi Yuan, there are four divisions below. They are the Military Orders Division, which is headed by Zhao Zi. This is a newly established division, which is in charge of the world's military orders and manages all the commanders outside. The forbidden army was deployed as a whole, defended internally and externally, and fought against the enemy, all under its control. There is also the Ji Yi Division, which is in charge of the military situation inside and outside the world, the secret affairs of the military and the geographical surveying and mapping of the country, the customs and customs of foreign countries, the political affairs of the court, and various geographical surveying and mapping, all of which are in charge of it. This division is headed by Li Zhang. There is also the Logistics Department, which is in charge of the money and food of the whole army. The allocation of money and the movement and transportation of grain and grass are all under its control. Here I will say that the wine storehouse that used to belong to the Privy Council and all kinds of things to return to the book were all allocated to the Zhongshu. The Privy Council only spends money, regardless of making money, and the money and food are allocated by the Chinese book every year. The logistics department was headed by Li Fugui, who was in charge of the army's money and grain when he was in Suizhou, and had been in charge of the river's meandering road for many years. The last division is the reward of merit, which is headed by Chen Xu. ”

Everyone crossed their hands together and said yes. Fu Bi said: "Sanya has a military justice department, and the Privy Council has a meritorious department, what are the similarities and differences?" ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "The simplest way to put it, one is a punishment, and the other is a reward. Of course, if you really do it, there will be a punishment for rewarding merit. The Judge Advocate Advocate General's Department is used to maintain day-to-day military discipline, while the Meritorious Service Division is used to bind wartime discipline in wartime. In fighting the enemy, those who have made meritorious contributions must be written down, and those who have made meritorious contributions must be rewarded. If there is a mistake, it must also be written down, so that if there is a mistake, it will be punished. This is what the meritorious priest has to do. As for the military horses in peacetime, they are not in their charge. ”

Everyone nodded, and finally understood why the Privy Council should set up another meritorious department when Sanya had a military justice department. The Meritorious Service Division was originally set up for wartime, so it was under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council. Of course, if there is military merit in peacetime, it should also be rewarded.

Several of the newly appointed directors of various departments, Zhao Zi, Li Zhang, Li Fugui and Chen Xu, got up and met several privy envoys and deputies. Their status is roughly equivalent to that of the previous generals in charge of the army, and the status of Yu Hou of the Three Yadu. The etiquette of the imperial court, these people are located in the four compartments of the sun and the martial arts, and the three yamen are all under the waiting. Of course, after the training, the original position of managing the army has been abolished, leaving only the name and treatment.

Sitting down again, Du Zhongxiao said: "Captain Zhao has been in the army for many years, and the affairs of this department don't need to be said by others, you can handle it yourself." Li Fugui has been in charge of grain and grass in Hequ Road for many years, and now he is in charge of the money and grain in the army, although there are many different places, there are always rules to follow. These days, I have more contact with the officials of the yamen who are in charge of money and grain, and I am familiar with them early in accordance with the rules and regulations. As for rewarding merits, the imperial court used to have a charter, and Chen Xu looked at it more, and combined with the wars in the past few years, it was redetermined. The newly established Department of Intelligence, which is the most important department of the Privy Council, apart from the Military Orders Department. Taiwei Li has been in the forbidden army for many years, and he should know about Jiyi writing. These days, I have more contact with the generals and officials transferred from various armies to get acquainted with them as soon as possible. ”

All the officials said yes together.

Zhang Sheng said: "They all have something to do, what are we going to do these days?" After the change, the affairs are bound to be different. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "The subordinate divisions have something to report." Each department can decide what to do, and what needs to be reported, and there is a preliminary charter. When they do things, we also have to learn from them. There are also the settings of the following divisions, and the envoys and deputies should pay more attention. The Privy Council reform is not yet familiar, and the deputies are not yet familiar with the following affairs. Another point is how much the yamen does, how many people they use, what kind of rules and regulations they use, and how much work they need to do. When the restructuring is completed, there will be regulations to come out. ”

This is the characteristic of the official system of the Song Dynasty, except for the army, generally each yamen and localities are not a single chief system, but multiple chiefs. There are prime ministers and governors under the Zhongshu Gate, there are privy envoys and deputy envoys in the Privy Council, and there are governors and general judges in the local areas, and there is a division of labor and containment between them. It has become a common habit to prevent one person from exercising too much power and to check and fill in the gaps.

In this restructuring, the Privy Council has set up four new departments, all of which are in high positions. Above them, there were still two privy envoys, and three deputy envoys. In addition to these four divisions, there are also independent yamen such as the Yintai Division, the Chengzhi Division, and the Inspection Office, which are set up according to the matter. However, compared with the four divisions, the official positions of these yamen are not high, and their positions are not so important.

After the introduction, Du Zhongxiao said: "With the establishment of four new divisions, plus other matters, the number of officials in the Privy Council will be greatly increased. The current cardinal palace is a little small, and the Holy Lord has specially decreed to expand the cardinal palace in the west of the middle book. This matter was collected by Zhang Sheng and Zeng Gongliang, and when they needed money and goods, they made a book for Zhongshu, and they allocated money. In addition to the official yamen, a place was selected in the vicinity to build a residence for officials. Many of the officials who came to Beijing did not have a place to live, so let them rent a house, and some of them had no money, so they had a place to stay. ”

Zhang Sheng arched his hand: "Taiwei, every inch of land in the capital is expensive, where is there idle land?" ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Around the cardinal mansion, there are still some vacant land, not private houses. In addition, you can ask for land from Zhongshu and Kaifeng Mansion, and there are many private houses under their shop. These were originally rented to households, and there was nothing to use to build houses. ”

Zhang Sheng and Zeng Gongliang said yes, muttering in their hearts, feeling that this matter was not easy to handle. Ask Zhongshu for money for everything, Zhongshu is so easy to talk to? It is not easy to build a residence, and the Privy Council is already in the west of the book, in the imperial city, where there is vacant land. As soon as you get out of the imperial city, it is a commercial treasure with every inch of land, which will be easily given to you.

Looking at the faces of the two, Du Zhongxiao knew their thoughts, and said: "This military reform is the Shengshang's painful determination to gather the strength of the whole country, and the Chinese book will not be difficult for you." There are too many generals and officials who have entered Beijing this time, and the lack of accommodation is inevitable, and the construction of houses is determined by the imperial court, and Kaifeng Mansion should cooperate. There are not many houses to be built in our Privy Council, and the three government members have to be combined and so many officials have been added, and they have to build a lot. ”

Zhang Sheng and Zeng Gongliang think about it, the three yamen are originally three yamen, and they are far away from each other. In the future, it will be a yamen, of course, it will be necessary to work together, and it must be close to the imperial city, and it is not easy to choose a place to build in the capital.

As for the places, one is the shop housework, these houses are officially rented to the people to make money, and it is nothing to demolish them to make a yamen. The other is the provincial military camps, which are all over Beijing and have a lot of territory. After the training, the military camps in the capital will be more concentrated, and many places will be vacated. The permanent forbidden army in the capital will be more distributed outside the city. They switched to guns, and it was not convenient for training in the city.

Du Zhongxiao smiled: "The preparation of the regulations and regulations, as well as more than 300,000 troops in the capital and 300,000 troops in Hedong, Hebei Province need to be trained, and the next days will not be easy." Be prepared, for this year will be busy, and it will not be the same as before. ”

Tian said: "In this training of the whole army, because the Sanya was almost formed from scratch, we not only have to manage the Privy Council, but also have many affairs to do. Taiwei Du said that one year, one year can be roughly done, which is already a great thing. You all know in your hearts that after doing a good job this time, the benefits will be endless, and if you don't do it well, you will be severely punished! ”

Du Zhongxiao nodded: "Yes, this training, the saint is watching it closely." Which one does well and which one does not do well is in the Sacred Heart. I hope that by the end of this year, all the shelves that the yamen should have been erected, all the personnel will be there, and the regulations will be clear. Three years later, the whole army completed its training. At that time, the imperial court had an army of 800,000, and the army went north to restore Yanyun. Only those of us who have made a complete merit can we do a good job. ”

What will it be like then? Du Zhongxiao didn't know, in short, it would be the beginning of a new era. Restoring Yanyun is just a more modest statement, at that time, the Song army was definitely stronger than the Khitan, how could it be so willing?
