Chapter 368: Soldiers Are the Root of the Army

"Haha, I'm really happy today, we can finally be unconstrained, and now we can rest assured that we can implement our plan to unify the world, Zhao Pu, what do you think?"

Zhao Kuangyin's mouth has never been closed since the early dynasty, he is grinning like a water scoop, and now he is really in power. ()

He finally knew why so many people liked to be this emperor, and why so many people liked power.

This kind of feeling of being in power is really a fork in the type!

So he left Zhao Pu behind when he went to the next court, of course, it couldn't be just the two of them.

Zhao Xu is naturally here, and there is also Miao Xun among them, and now Miao Xun has almost become Zhao Kuangyin's henchman.

is often called into the palace by Zhao Kuangyin, talking about the situation of the country with Zhao Kuangyin, and giving advice when he has time.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that now is not the time, now that we have just withdrawn the military power, and we have not yet educated all the soldiers below to be loyal to the imperial court, we are more at ease."

Zhao Pu considered that now the military power has been withdrawn, but it does not mean that all people are loyal to the imperial court.

Now we still have to instill in them the idea of loyalty and patriotism, so that we can rest assured.

"To the emperor, Lord Zhao is right, the emperor is not the time to implement these now, the time we need."

Miao Xun also spoke.

"Oh, what is your opinion, sir?" Zhao Kuangyin still attaches great importance to Miao Xun's opinion.

Miao Xun arched his hand and said:

"Actually, Lord Zhao has already said part of the reason just now, and this is also an important part of the reason, the army must be absolutely loyal to the imperial court."

"This is the most basic guarantee, to make the army a sharp weapon of the country, not a certain person or a tool of a few people, otherwise there will be a division since the end of the Tang Dynasty."

Miao Xun's words were agreed by everyone, and Zhao Xu couldn't help nodding, which was also what he was thinking about now.

"Father, what Lord Zhao and Mr. Zhao said is very right, the most important thing now is to firmly control these armies in our hands."

"Oh, I've put you in charge of the military, now what do you think, tell me about it!"

In the early dynasties, Zhao Kuangyin had already appointed Zhao Xu to be in charge of the military with full powers, which had bypassed the Privy Council.

It is not under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council at all, and Wei Renpu, who is in charge of the Privy Council as the prime minister, has not said anything.

Originally, the Ministry of War and the Privy Council restrained each other to prevent one from becoming dominant and threatening the emperor's rule, so these two institutions served the imperial power.

However, now the emperor has put the crown prince in full charge, which means that the Privy Council and the Ministry of War have no power to intervene.

The official Shangshu asked a question and before he finished speaking, he was refuted by the emperor, you don't need to say it.

The crown prince is my son, the future heir of the Great Song Dynasty, I don't believe who else he believes, you are just my courtier, and he is my son.

Everyone can understand what the emperor means, but no one is silent, Zhang Zhao is a lesson from the past, and if you don't get it right, you will make the emperor disgusted, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Now Zhao Kuangyin is right, let me let you tell me your opinion, didn't I let you take full responsibility for the military?

What do you want to say, let's talk about Zhao Kuangyin not only to let Zhao Xu talk about his opinion, but also to hear what he thinks, or to assess him a little.

Zhao Pu and Miao Xun can see this, they all knew that Zhao Xu led his troops to fight and charged into battle.

But now it's not about the charge, it's about looking at the talent of management, and how well you grasp the army as a whole.

Zhao Xu also knew, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, he really couldn't say this thing if he wanted to say it himself.

However, he came from the future, and he still has these theoretical knowledge, and there is a lot of it, and there was no mature regulatory system in the Song Dynasty.

When the army goes out to fight, the imperial court will send a capital supervisor to supervise it, but the general effect is not good.

If it's an upright eunuch, it's still good, but if it's a eunuch who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, it will cause the generals to not cooperate.

These systems are extremely unreasonable, and they are okay when a dynasty is stable, but if they are in troubled times, they will not work.

In order to strengthen the absolute control of the imperial court over the army, Zhao Xu already had a brilliant idea in his heart, and this idea was not something he thought of himself.

This was proven in later generations, and the system led to the rapid growth and rapid growth of the weak army of the time.

Zhao Xu clearly remembers that this system is called "The branch is built on the company!" ”

However, at this time, Zhao Xu must not say the word "Lian", but they can change it.

"Father, sir, Lord Zhao, I want to ask what is the military establishment of our Great Song Dynasty?"

"It's such a prince, in addition to the forbidden army and the guards in our court, its establishment is four levels: compartment, army, battalion, and capital."

Zhao Pu said that the carriage is in charge of the army, the army is in charge of five battalions, and the battalion is in charge of five capitals, each with 100 people.

"Then what are these officers of Lord Zhao?" Zhao Xu asked such a question again.

"Their generals at all levels are called in turn: Xiangdu Commander; The commander of the military capital, the military capital is waiting, the commander is the commander, the deputy commander; The head of the capital, the deputy head. There are also Wu Chang Shi Chang and the like. ”

"Okay, what Lord Zhao said just now is already very detailed, I can understand it this way, the army of my Song Dynasty is basically based on the capital as the basic unit, although when we participated in the war, it was calculated according to the battalion."

"I think that if you want the whole army to be loyal, you have to solve the problem basically, so I want to strengthen control in this city."

"Oh, there are a hundred people in this one, how can you control them, they are all lower-level soldiers, what's the use of their loyalty, as long as the general who leads the troops is loyal, can the people below still turn against the sky?"

Zhao Kuangyin is not the only one who attaches importance to generals, throughout the ancient feudal dynasties, they all attached importance to generals, where did they pay attention to soldiers.

"That's not what my father said, no matter how good a general is, what's the use of not having soldiers, can he kill the enemy directly, so I said that it is not the generals but the soldiers who decide the victory."

"Prince Weichen doesn't dare to agree, if an army has no generals, isn't it a group of dragons without a leader?"

Zhao Pu also disagreed with Zhao Xu's statement.

It seems that we must give them a good lesson, and we must pay attention to the soldiers at the bottom thoroughly, these are the foundation of an army, far more important than an excellent general.

Soldiers are the foundation of the army, the foundation of the army!
