After Xu Ping finished speaking, he looked at Gao Daquan and Jingtai and said, "What do you think about this matter?" ”

Jingtai thought about it for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Don't hide it from the marshal, the lower officials feel that this matter is not easy to do." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Of course it's not easy! If you think about the benefits of everything, you think of ten points, and if you can do six or seven points, you should be very satisfied. ”

Of course, Xu Ping would not think that if he said it, find someone to write a few slogans, and the matter would be done. If it's that simple, a person can be a famous general. But again, as long as you don't hope for a whim, but are willing to bury your body and do it steadfastly, things will always develop in a good direction. As long as you keep persevering, maybe one day, when you turn around, you will see that what you thought was difficult at that time has really become something in the sweat of your hard work.

The military system must be reformed, and if it cannot be changed in one month, it will be used for one year, and if it cannot be changed in one year, it will be used for three years. If the military system is not changed, even if the war is won by luck for a while, future generations will still face the same dilemma.

In fact, before the war in the northwest started, Xia Zhu took ten strategies, several of which involved the ineffective operation of the Eastern Army.

However, it is one thing to realize that it will not work, there are more people who can guide the country and talk about it, and it is another thing to know how to change it after realizing that it does not work. The countermeasures proposed by Xia Zhu are nothing more than repeating the same old tune, the generals want to be autocratic, and the northwest should use less of the forbidden army in the capital, but more from the local recruitment. The locals are familiar with geography and people, and their homes are there, they know how to fight, and they also have the initiative to fight. Of course, there is an even greater benefit, the local recruitment of the forbidden army is much cheaper, which can greatly reduce the financial pressure. The cost of the forbidden army in the capital is high, and after moving to the northwest, there are family members in the army, and the cost is naturally high.

After knowing how to change, there are very few people who are willing to bury their bodies and work hard. The most common mistake that scholars make is to think that it is a great thing to come up with ideas, and he is the smartest in the world, as long as others get a word of guidance from him, he will be invincible. But I don't know that things are done after all, not said with my mouth, and the most important thing in the world is the person who comes up with ideas. The three stinkers, the top Zhuge Liang, are not better than others because the scholar has read a few more books and his ideas can quote scriptures. It still has to be practiced, and what practice proves is a good idea.

Even if he has more than a thousand years of knowledge, what Xu Ping wants to do may not be only what he thinks of, what he is better than others is that he is willing to do it steadfastly. As long as you recognize it and prove it, you will be indomitable.

The practice of military reform is nothing more than fighting a war, and as long as there are a few big victories, all kinds of noisy voices should disappear. However, before that, what is needed is for these leaders in the army to unite closely, agree with Xu Ping's ideas, work hard in one place, and implement the combat effectiveness brought about by the reform of the military system in a down-to-earth manner. Military reform is not the goal, but enhancing combat effectiveness is the goal.

Gao Daquan said: "What the marshal said makes sense, but the most difficult thing now is that there are not many literate people in the army." Most of the things arranged by the marshal require the soldiers to read and hyphenation, where can they be done in a hurry? Another one, the newly recruited Wu Ju and others can only be arranged to the capital level - even to the capital level, and it is difficult to talk about the uniforms of the subordinate generals. Also, there are these people at the first level, so what about the people who are lacking in command above? What should I do if there is a shortage of people at the top of the military rank? Now in the army, although there are Jing deputy commanders, there is still a lack of wingmen, where do these people come from? ”

Jingtai agreed with what Gao Daquan said, and even Li Zhang nodded again and again. The establishment of functional institutions, the people who need it will not fall from the sky, there is nowhere else to adjust, and it takes time to cultivate oneself, and it is not something that can be completed in a short time.

Xu Ping sighed: "Indeed, it is a big problem that no one is available. In the past few days, I have also been thinking about how to replenish the manpower needed in the army. Originally, the military reform began in the capital, and now there should be an eyebrow, but it is a pity that those time were wasted. Literate people don't have to worry too much, the three people from the company under the third division came to Qin Fenglu, and there are many literate people among them, so they can be recruited. And when I was in Xijing before, the company recruited people to teach people to read, what books to use, how to teach, they all have ready-made rules and regulations, which can be used. To be able to read military orders and comprehend the intentions of the supervisor, it doesn't take many words, as long as you learn a thousand words, it is enough. According to the company's experience in teaching people to read and write, as long as the teaching method is successful, you can know hundreds of words in about half a year, keep accounts and settle accounts, and the daily application is barely enough. If you keep going, you will be able to read some simple books on your own, read letters, and be able to study on your own in about a year. ”

In his previous life, when Xu Ping was in college, there was a classmate in the same dormitory who was from the Yimeng Mountains, because he often referred to female classmates as "literacy classes", which aroused Xu Ping's interest. Only after learning about it did I know that during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the old Yimeng area had extensively organized a mass literacy campaign, and those who went to learn literacy were called literacy classes. At that time, men went to the front line to fight against the Japanese, and most of the rear were women, and the literacy class was dominated by women. The local young women studied the most seriously, the best results, and persevered the longest, and this name later became the name of the local unmarried women's surname, which is a kind of historical relic.

Of course, the organizational strength of the society today cannot be compared with that time, and even the army is not comparable to the rural areas at that time, even if the villages were full of old and weak women and children at that time. But that kind of practice can still be learned, and the effect is poor, which is better than nothing. The company under the three divisions of Xijing took the lead in eradicating the illiteracy of the recruited workers, and there was no way, it was difficult to adapt to factory production without culture. Their experience at that time can now be used as a reference in the army, and it is not necessary for all non-commissioned officers to be able to read books and newspapers, as long as a few percent of the people can read military orders and understand various policies, it is enough to support the military reform that Xu Ping is going to carry out now.

Sighing, Xu Ping said again: "In fact, the most difficult thing is the lack of suitable talents at all levels. To do these ministries well, it is not enough to be able to read and write. In order to manage the affairs of the army well, they must be able to settle accounts, they must be able to read the map, they must be able to calculate the distance and time of the march from the map, and many other skills, which cannot be easily learned from books. It is to recruit literate people to the army, and to teach them the same, and not to teach them. In this way, in ten days, you will choose from your army those who are faithful and reliable, who can read and write. - As long as you can read and write, you don't need to read Confucian classics, poems and songs - report to the Shuaifu in a unified manner. The Marshal's Office selects personnel to teach, and in accordance with the principle of selecting one of the three, selects outstanding personnel from among these scholars to fill the vacant positions. They cannot suddenly ascend to high positions, and in the name of authority, they will first fill in the missing ministries. In the beginning, the authority of these assistants should not be too high, and they mainly did their part. Wait until the future to do things slowly, those who are capable will be promoted, and those who can't be eliminated will be eliminated. When there is a war, it will naturally be promoted according to military merits. We should practice while studying, fighting while training, and change the army little by little in the course of studying, fighting, and training. ”

Without waiting for Gao Daquan and Jingtai to promise, Xu Ping said: "In addition, military commanders at all levels must learn the same. For the time being, according to this principle, one of the three is still drawn from the three, reported to the Shuaifu, and the Shuaifu will unify the coach. The rest of the ones that have not been drawn for the time being will take out two hours a day to study specifically, and the Shuai Mansion will send someone to teach. Those who stayed in the military middle school were of course also literate, as well as learn military orders, edicts, and what they needed in their daily lives. It can no longer be the same as the previous forbidden army, the commander of the army is illiterate, how can he lead the troops to fight? There are even some generals who have made it, but they still can't read and write, and they all rely on their subordinates, and something will happen. Yang Yanzhao, the former defense envoy of Baozhou, suffered from being illiterate, and his daily military orders and government affairs all relied on the small official Zhou Zheng, who was deceived by him. Don't forget the past, the teacher of the future, this kind of thing is not allowed to appear in our army in the future! ”
