The establishment of instructors at the corps, capital, battalion, compartment, and army levels is an issue that Li Jing has been considering and hesitating about during this time. One of the biggest characteristics of the army of the late Tang Dynasty is that there are many feudal towns, martial arts are in power, and there are countless large and small army heads. The commander of the feudal town is the largest army, and there is a Duzhi soldier and horse envoy below who is also the head of the army, and then there are soldiers and horses below who are smaller army leaders. The feudal town, which is composed of such a group of military leaders.

Li Jing is now also a big army leader, in Ziqing Town, in addition to the Pinglu Army, it is Li Jing's Zhendong Army that has the largest strength, with 25,000 soldiers. But it is precisely because he is the head of the army that Li Jing understands the horror of this kind of army leader more than others. Supporting the army and respecting themselves, or even standing on their own, and even killing the commander after the commander, is not uncommon in other towns. At the beginning of the Zhendong Army, Li Jing relied on the alliance with several major generals such as Lin Wei and Wang Zhong to stabilize his relationship.

However, there are more and more men and horses, and the strength is increasing, and now the Zhendong Army has 25,000 men and horses, which is no longer enough to fully control the Zhendong Army. Li Zhen once proposed to Li Jing to marry more women of the Li clan to the generals below, on the other hand, Li Jing could accept some generals' daughters or sisters as concubines, or let the Li family's brothers and nephews marry the generals, so as to weave a big net.

It's a strategy, but it's not enough.

Guo Chengan proposed that Li Jing take those middle-level generals in the Zhendong Army as his righteous sons and let them change their surnames to Li, so that they could do so. The patriarchal system controls the whole army. However, Li Jing is only twenty-one years old. And generals at the battalion level in the army. There is no one smaller than Li Jing. Accepting Yizi, Li Jing was reluctant to accept it. If you want to accept a group of subordinates who are much older than him and can even be his father's subordinates as righteous sons, Li Jing can't accept this. He was already reluctant to be Song Wei's righteous son, not to mention, it was not a good way to accept a righteous son. Just like himself, although he became Song Wei's righteous son, but actually. He didn't immediately have much of a change in his mind about Song Weike. No matter how many righteous sons are collected, the most important thing is the control of power.

After thinking about it, Li Jing felt that if he wanted to strengthen his control over the Zhendong Army, it would be good for the later Taizu's branch to be established on the side. Starting from the team level, a group of literati were appointed as teachers. The chief officer is in charge of the military, and the instructors are in charge of everything outside the military, and they are responsible for supervising the chief general and preventing the chief general from being autocratic.

Wen and Wu are inherently opposites, and the new teaching system Li Jing did not use Wu to hold this position in the future, but specially promoted a group of literati to take up this position. Essentially. The commanders at all levels then had the power to make military decisions, but were otherwise subject to the supervision of teaching. The Tang Dynasty also had a system of supervising the army. However, the prison is only the highest level of prison. Zhang Chengye is now the military envoy, and there are more than a dozen people below Zhang Chengye, including the deputy envoy of the supervising army, the junior envoy of the supervising army, and the judge of the supervising army. But the target of their supervision is Li Jing, not the lower levels.

Li Jing combined the military supervision system that existed in the Tang Dynasty itself, the system of controlling military force with literature in the Song Dynasty, and the political commissar system in later generations to create a new teaching system. However, there are some differences from the previous ones, the duty of teaching is to supervise, and cannot directly exceed the rights of the commanders, who have no right to command the troops and horses, and have the right to supervise and play. In addition, he is also responsible for ideological matters to help Li Jing control the army below.

In addition to instructors at the lowest team level, there are also instructors in the gang to exercise full control over the entire army.

In addition, in order to prevent accidents among military leaders, there is another regulation issued at the same time as the teaching system. That is, if the officers are promoted, they are not allowed to be promoted to their own ranks. The captain of team A is promoted to team officer and may not be promoted within the team, and the team leader of team A is promoted to team officer and may be transferred to team B. This is the case for the team to be promoted to the capital, the capital to be promoted to the battalion, and the battalion to be promoted. And even if they don't get promoted, all officers need to be transferred every three years. In addition, there is an important stipulation, that is, all officers are not allowed to have private soldiers, and the personal soldiers they have must be officers and soldiers in the battalion, and after the official position is transferred, the personal soldiers are not allowed to be taken away. Officers at the battalion level can enjoy the qualification of ten personal guards in peacetime, and the van level can have one team of personal guards.

Several successive regulations are all to avoid the appearance of military leaders after the team is large.

Especially the teaching system, Li Jing racked his brains to come up with it.

Since Li Jing took over Dengzhou, his various performances have not only been welcomed by the people, but also recognized and supported by the family. Represented by the Cui, Han, and Xiao families, many clans sent their children to join Li Jing's subordinates. Most of these few joined the army, most of them were still scholars, and many of them were even scribes who had passed the Jinshi. At the beginning, Li Jing arranged a lot to enter Dengzhou Prefecture and the four counties, and arranged some to enter the Zhendong Army and the second city of Liaodong. However, there were still many scribes who came to defect, and Li Jing simply let them enter the army to teach first.

Then, according to their academic ability, they were all appointed as instructors at all levels.

The military meeting of the Zhendong Army once every seven days was held in the military camp north of Dengzhou. In the military camp in the north of the city, there is Li Jing's military conference hall, as well as a living room and a study. After the discussion was over, Li Jing returned to the study, and as soon as he sat down, Wang Chong asked to see him outside.

Li Jing changed into civilian clothes under Tie Danzi's service, and Tie Danzi poured a glass of fruit wine for Li Jing and Wang Chong, and then retreated. After Wang Zhong waited for only two people to be left in the room, he cleared his throat and said very directly: "Ji Yu, aren't these things you have been doing recently?" The army is used to fight, and now you have a group of weak scholars who can't carry them on their shoulders and can't carry them in their hands into the camp, and they have all of a sudden served as assistant officers at all levels. Do you know that the brothers in the camps below are about to stir up the world. ”

"What did I do?" Li Jing smiled slightly, but he didn't get angry, "And you said that it's almost noisy down there now, who are the people arguing, what are they arguing about, why don't they come to me directly?" ”

"In short, using literature to control martial arts, this is nonsense."

Li Jing's tone aggravated a little, and he looked at Wang Chong, "What do you mean by using literature to control martial arts?" Am I not clear enough? The instructors are only responsible for assisting the commanders at all levels, and the military command remains in the hands of the commanders. To put it bluntly, the teachings are only the price I sent. As long as the lords at all levels are not afraid of crooked shadows, as long as they don't do anything out of the ordinary, what was the case before, and what is still the case. And they should be happy to have the instructors to share some other chores. Li Jing knew that Wang Chong was coming, and there must be many officers waiting to see the limelight.

Although Wang Zhong is his sworn brother and married a widowed sister-in-law, it can be said that he is close to each other. But the more this is the case, the more Li Jing has to focus on the matter today, completely dispelling the thoughts of those who are waiting and seeing.

"Let me tell you, the teaching system has not changed, and officers at all levels must be sent down if they agree, and they must be sent if they do not agree. And to put it bluntly, these teachings are the representatives of my Li Jing, and the prison army I sent. In the future, if anyone dares to make a little mess, when it is critical, the prison army has the right to deal with it on the spot. ”

"Fighting a war has always been a matter for the generals, and everyone has nothing to say about it. But now, a group of scholars were sent to ride on the head, and everyone was a little puzzled. Wang Chong came in today to say this, not because he didn't understand the reason, but because he knew that many generals wanted to say this in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it. He now ran to say that Li Jing had no problem scolding him, and he just showed the attitude of the military envoy to the whole army. "Many of the brothers below just feel that the military envoys are paying more and more attention to those literati, and the territory is our soldiers fighting with blood and life, and now these literati have no merit, so hundreds of people are inserted into the Zhendong Army at once, and many brothers are not convinced."

"What's not to be convinced? Soldiers regard obedience as their duty, what is there to disobey? Do you not even have room for one of my representatives now, what do you want to do? If you want to occupy the mountain as the king, or do you want to support the army and respect yourself, am I still not the envoy of the Zhendong army? ”

Li Jing's words were loud and loud, and the wall of the study couldn't block it, and it spread far away. More than a dozen generals stood there, listening with their ears pricked up. Hearing Li Jing's reprimand of Wang Chong so harshly, everyone was a little ugly. Wang Chongke is the master of the box, with 5,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and now he is still guarding Beisha City on behalf of Li Jing, which can be described as a feudal general. Even he, the righteous brother of the military envoy, was reprimanded in this way, which shows the great determination of the general to set up teaching.

And the words have already been said to this part, and if anyone dares to oppose it, it will really be doubted whether they have the heart of self-reliance.

Wang Zhong sat there and was severely reprimanded by Li Jing, and after Li Jing said for a long time, he hurriedly handed over the table. whispered: "It's almost enough, everyone has heard it." ”

Li Jing smiled, after being together for so long, the tacit understanding between the two is still good. This is a double reed, in order to show Li Jing's attitude. It's not appropriate to find other generals to come forward. It just so happens that Wang Chong's identity and status are enough, and the relationship between the two is more suitable.

Li Jing talked for a long time, and felt a little dry in his mouth, so he immediately took the fruit wine and moistened his throat.

"Is it really useful to use a group of literati as a teacher?" Wang Zhong asked with some confusion. Lately he has been stationed in Beisha City, and has only returned to Dengzhou once or twice a month. Although he also had some doubts in his heart that this literati should be taught, no matter what, his support for Li Jing was still unconditional.

"Whether it's useful or not, it's not something that can be seen in a day or two. But in any case, the Zhendong Army cannot be the same as the three towns of Hebei and other armies, we have to build a real new army. Li Jing put down the wine glass, and his eyes were bright. (To be continued......)
