Chapter 285: Privy Council Military Division
"Good, good! What a Mr. Murong! Hahaha......"
There was a rare hearty laughter in the Chongzheng Palace, this was a somewhat serious official Zhao Xu laughing, a rare thing, but the important ministers in the hall were not surprised at all, in fact, they also wanted to laugh. Because the two problems that plagued them - training troops and rectifying the east and west roads of Hebei were all solved by Murong Wang, the "reincarnation Zhang Liang" invited by Wu Haogu from Liao, with clever strategies.
It seems that this Liao Confucian and Jinshi are really knowledgeable! It's a pity that he was not reincarnated in the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise the Western Xia would have been destroyed long ago, and Yanyun would have probably recovered.
But fortunately, such a character has been idle and scattered for many years on the side of Liao, otherwise this Liao country would be prosperous and powerful.
Speaking of which, God bless the Great Song!
Zhao Xu had already suppressed his laughter at this time, and said to Zhang Dun, who was sitting on the pestle: "This Mr. Murong has come thousands of miles to invest and offered such a wonderful plan, I must not treat him badly...... Zhang Qing, what official position do you say should be given to him? ”
"Your Majesty," Zhang Dian replied, "Mr. Murong is a Jinshi of the Liao State, and he is also the companion of the late Prince Zhaohuai, and he is a famous Confucian in the Liao State. ”
Jinshi or something, it is more of an honor for the magnates of the Liao State, and if you really want to be a big official, you have to rely on your ability to reincarnate. However, for the literati of the Song Dynasty, it was a coveted identity. Therefore, it is a great favor to give the Jinshi (Zhengju Mingjinshi) - of course, this kind of grace is not needed for Zhang Dan, a genius who is a jinshi and playful.
The emperor smiled and nodded: "Yes, he should be given a jinshi." And he was originally a Jinshi of the Liao Kingdom, if he was born in our dynasty, he would definitely be able to be admitted to the Jinshi. ”
Zhang Dian then said: "In addition to giving Jinshi, the minister suggested that Your Majesty should give Mr. Murong another Wensan official among the eldest doctors. ”
The middle doctor is a literary and prose official from the fourth grade, and the official rank is not small. However, for Murong Wangwu, it is just an official title of receiving Yulu. Because although he was given the background of Jinshi, after all, he was a Liao Nantou, and it was impossible to really send a powerful one.
"But it's also ......," Zhao Xu thought for a while, "and then give a founding son, 400 households, give the captain of the light car, and praise the heroes." ”
The founding son is a knighthood, and according to the "Yuan Yu Official Character Order", it belongs to the ninth class of the tenth-class titles, which is only one level older than the founding man. The food is distributed with the title, depending on the number of households, but there is no actual benefit, it is a false name. Only the number of "actual seals" added after the number of households in the "food district" is truly meaningful. For example, 200 households in "400 households in the food district, 200 households in the actual seal" is a bit meaningful. One household is actually sealed, and the monthly income is increased to 25 yuan, and 200 households can receive an extra 5,000 copper coins every month, and an extra 60,000 yuan a year, which is about 80 yuan.
As for the "Light Car Captain", it is a title from the fourth grade, and it is also a fictitious title, which has neither a ministry nor a salary.
And the Zanzhi Hero is a meritorious number, which is useless except that it can be recorded in the history of the country.
"Give him another mansion," Zhao Xu thought for a while, "just find a mansion for him in the west wing of the city." ”
It is a good reward to give a mansion, a mansion commensurate with the official position of the middle doctor, even if it is in the outer city, there is no one hundred and twenty thousand who can't take it! At the beginning of the country, there were many heroes who were able to receive the bestowal, but now it is very difficult.
"As for the sending...... Zhang Qing, do you want to give one? Zhao Xu asked again.
Zhang Dian said: "I should give a send, Mr. Murong is a great talent, and the Liao Kingdom does not need it, how can I be idle and scattered in my dynasty?" ”
Zhao Xu nodded, Yelu Hongji didn't need Murong to forget his worries because he was mediocre, he was a Ming Jun, how could he let Murong forget his worries and eat idle dinner? Doesn't that make him look as dull as Jeluhomchi?
"What should he do?"
Zhang Dian said: "The minister thought that he should add a position to Mr. Murong. ”
"What's the job you want?"
Zhang Dian said: "Add martial arts studies. ”
Martial arts was a basically low yamen in the Song Dynasty, under the jurisdiction of Guozijian, under the jurisdiction of the doctor of martial arts, and there was no such dispatch as "judging martial arts" or "knowing martial arts".
"Judging martial arts?" As soon as Zhao Xu heard this, he knew that Zhang Xuan wanted to reform martial arts, "Does Zhang Qing want to reform martial arts?" ”
"Exactly," said Zhang, "if you want to train elite soldiers, you must first choose good generals, and it is better to choose generals than to educate them." The establishment of martial arts was originally to select and breed good generals for the imperial court, but for more than 20 years, it has not been heard that good generals come from martial arts, so it needs to be greatly improved before it can be successful. ”
Zhao Xu nodded lightly, the core idea of the training method offered by Murong Wangwu is "the captain is a small package", and the training team is correct, and at the same time summarizing the method of formation, training and application of one team and one department, is the core of the core. And the most suitable office to undertake the main mission of the training team is naturally martial arts.
However, it has been more than 20 years and almost 30 years since the martial arts school supervised by Guozi has been opened, but it has not cultivated a useful military attaché, and it is completely a yamen with a corpse vegetarian meal.
For this reason, Zhang Dian had long wanted to reform it, but he didn't know how to reform it, so he put martial arts aside.
Now that Murong Wangwu (actually Wu Haogu) gave him the idea of "students teaching teachers", it suddenly solved the embarrassment that martial arts could not teach officers, and the reform of martial arts was naturally on the agenda.
"How does Zhang Qing want to reform martial arts?" Zhao Xu asked with interest.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Privy Council should first govern martial arts." Zhang Dian said, "Otherwise, the general warriors of the Western Army will be recruited into martial arts, and the Guozijian will not be able to discipline them." ”
Wuxue is a military academy, and it is inappropriate for it to be supervised by a national sub-school similar to the Ministry of Education. Most of the civil officials who are the supervisors of the country or the supervisors of the country are well-educated, but they often don't know anything about military affairs, so they are naturally not good at martial arts.
In contrast, the officials who served as privy envoys and knew the affairs of the Privy Council in the Song Dynasty were more or less knowledgeable soldiers, even if they were civil officials.
In addition, the Privy Council itself is in charge of the army, and only the Privy Council has the means to gather four or five hundred students who can fight to teach teachers...... Guozijian has nowhere to find so many little warriors to study. Even if it is found by the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, a group of Confucians in the Guozijian can't control it.
Guozijian can't even manage the dead students who are studying now, if there is another group of military attaches who kill people and set fires, then how can they get it?
But the Privy Council is different, those petty military attachés who dare not listen to the Privy Council can be killed! Whose head can the Guozijian kill? And you can't give Guozijian such power, otherwise the samurai can be killed? What about too many students? What about the students of the country? These are all dignified doctors! How can you kill your head?
Therefore, if the martial arts school wants to recruit real warriors, it must be managed by a yamen such as the Privy Council or the Ministry of War - it should be like this, and I don't know how the brains of a group of civil officials in the Song Dynasty were opened, and they actually let Guozijian run a military school......
"That makes sense," Zhao Xu glanced at the privy envoy Zeng Bu, "what does Zeng Qing think?" ”
Zeng Bu replied, "Your Majesty, I think it is feasible for the Privy Council to have jurisdiction over the affairs of the generals. It's just that at present, the doctors, officials, and martial arts students in the martial arts are not in the military, nor are they martial artists, so they are not suitable for the management of the Privy Council. ”
Zhao Xu knew that Zeng Bu was unwilling to take over the mess of the existing martial arts, but wanted to start another one.
"What about the existing martial arts and martial arts?"
"Martial arts should be maintained as it is," Zeng Bu said, "After the martial arts students who have already enrolled in the school have completed their studies, the martial arts should be suspended, but the martial arts should remain unchanged." ”
"No change?" Zhao Xu was a little puzzled, "Isn't the martial arts of our dynasty the same as martial arts, and has never cited a good general, why should it remain unchanged?" ”
"Your Majesty, martial arts, like Wenju, are both methods of the imperial court to select scholars, and they are also the way for the promotion of scholars in the world, so it should not be closed."
It's useless, but it has to be on......
Zhao Xu looked at Zhang Xuan again, and Zhang Xuan said: "The minister also thinks that martial arts and martial arts can remain unchanged for the time being. A military academy department can be set up under the Privy Council to train military officers at the level of team chief and general. The students can be recommended by the generals and lieutenants of the forbidden army of each department, as well as the pacification envoys of various departments. The recommended person must be coarse in writing, have a military combat experience, have the rank of a miscellaneous military minister, and be under 25 years old. After completing the study, you can be awarded the official position of the third class of borrowed, and serve as the head of the new training forbidden army. ”
The third class was borrowed from a military attache from the ninth rank and was the smallest military attaché. The team of the general forbidden army is usually served by miscellaneous military ministers, and sometimes the generals can be served by miscellaneous military ministers.
Therefore, the future of teaching the third class to borrow and serve as a team leader is not attractive to the vast majority of scholars. This "Military Science Division" seems to be just "gilding" for the warriors who were born in the army.
"Since Zhang Qing also thinks so, let's set up a Privy Council Military Science Department." Zhao Xu thought for a while, and then said, "Let Murong forget to be the secretary of military science, and at the same time, select a soldier from the Western Army to serve as the secretary of military science." ”
"Commandment."
After Zhao Xu finished saying this, he thought of Wu Haogu again, so he asked, "How should that Wu Haogu be rewarded?" ”
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Wu Haogu has made a great contribution to this trip, and it is appropriate to transfer to the seventh official and appoint him as the deputy envoy of the Qipin East Gate."
The answer to this question was the privy deputy envoy Cai Jing, Wu Haogu visited Cai's mansion again last night, and did not see Cai Jing, but he met Cai You, and also sent some "native products" of Liao. Therefore, Cai Jing promoted Wu Haogu today and made him the second youngest deputy envoy of Dongshang Gate among the ambassadors.
"There aren't many turns." Zhao Xu also approved Cai Jing's suggestion, the military attachés of the Song Dynasty could be promoted for meritorious service, and they could be pushed to the end if they made mistakes, so it was not without precedent to follow for the transfer of the seventh official. "And what about his sending? It's time to reward him for a dispatch this time, and that's it. ”
