He Sanlang slapped the table and said to the people around him: "Zhi Niang, I just want to learn how to manage food and grass! A few days ago, Lei Duota hit our military stick and remembered him all his life! I will take care of food and grass in the future, and see who dares to ask his subordinates to buy this and that!"

The thin man beside him said, "I don't want to learn anything. I just have no way to learn this. It's much more comfortable to practice under the sun outside. Besides, I have learned it. When I am no longer in the army, I can still do some small business when I go home. Isn't it just to manage the accounts?

"Yes, yes, my brother is smart, why didn't I expect it!" He Sanlang was very excited. "Learn these things, it will be of great use to go home! If we have a village in our village, we can do things there!"

After that day, various schools were opened in the army, and officers and soldiers could register. There were food and grass officials who were in charge of logistics, engineering officials who were in charge of road construction and bridge construction, staff officials who were in charge of discipline and regulations, and instructors who were in charge of training for soldiers. Of course, there were staff members who were in charge of paper work. The commander was higher, and there were special schools to learn military command.

The most important thing in specialization is not specialized talents, but power division, which divides power into professional departments. Generals no longer have their own authority, but special command departments, which only exercise leadership power on behalf of each department at the higher level. On this basis, cultivate professional talents and transfer power beyond command from generals to professional departments. They are more professional and should do better.

For the army, later generations were too persistent in professionalizing mercenaries or conscription systems, and ignored professionalization. The European army changed from a feudal army to a later army. Whether it was modernization or any name, it was good, and the most important specialization was strengthened step by step. In fact, where soldiers came from was not that important, and the most important thing was that officers had professional abilities.

To break the feudal pattern, the government uses professional bureaucrats, and the military should use professional officers. If professionals become professional, everything will be different from before. Even if the commander still manages everything, he is actually a professional commander, rather than a small lord who is divided into power at this level. Without following the operation of the professional department, professional officers with higher power at the next level are restricted by professional officers with higher power.

While the room was full of people, Du Zhongxiao walked in.

Someone saw it and hurriedly got up and crossed his hands to sing. As soon as they rose and fell, everyone stopped and stood up to salute.

Du Zhongxiao looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, from today on, the army has set up these schools and will select officers from you. If you have learned well, you can go to the army to be a deputy head and plan for food and grass. Unlike before, there is no accident. If you do well, you will be promoted from the capital to the camp, and still plan for food and grass. If you are promoted one level after another, you can still be promoted to the army without leading the army to fight. What is this called? This is called professionalism. In the past, the majors were all Confucians who said that they were dedicated to a certain scripture, and the army was for war, so it was naturally different."

After saying this, the people below felt extremely surprised. They originally thought that after learning these, they would become officials in the army, not officers. Unexpectedly, they would become officials, with a great future, and they could even do it by relying solely on food and grass.

In fact, Du Zhongxiao was just talking big here to inspire people. Not to mention them, in the entire sect and eunuch army, in addition to Liu Ji, Li Qi and Yue Zi, there are a few rampant officials. Only by truly implementing this system to the entire army in the world can this effect be achieved.

After seeing the expressions of everyone, Du Zhongxiao said, "Don't think that this is a small matter. Learning is useless. Before the army moves, food and grass will lead. Many times, war is about fighting money and food. Only when this matter is done well can the army be calm and the army can be worry-free during war. It is not easy to set up food and grass. First, we must ensure that the army is sufficient for food and grass, and second, we must ensure fairness. How much money is paid in the army and wherever it is used, there is a system, and you must ensure that it is implemented according to the system."

He Sanlang remembered the incident of being beaten with a military stick a few days ago, and asked with his hands crossed his hands: "The small matter is unknown. Although there is a system, what should the commander of the army be based on his own preferences and not according to the regulations? After all, the subordinates of the commander of the army should be obeyed."

Du Zhongxiao said: "If the system is violated, the food and grass officials must of course adhere to the system. Unlike before, now every level of the army has food and grass officials. The commanding officers are suppressed by power, and the food and grass officials at the next level will make the decision for you."

He Sanlang still didn't understand. Even if there were higher-level food and grass officials as the commander, what would he do if the commander of the army didn't listen? The commander in the army covered the sky with one hand, and the food and grass officials were still under their control. How could he restrain the commander?

Du Zhongxiao said: "In short, remember that your promotion in the army is decided by the food and grass officer at the next level. Rewards and punishments are determined by the superior and the commander at the same time. The commander at the same level has no right to punish you, so he can recommend the food and grass officer at the next level to deal with it. Your official position is generally at the same level as the commander at the lower level. You should understand this? Of course, you must learn well and pass the exam."

Only after hearing this did everyone understand that the commanding officers have no personnel power in the professional department and no management power, but only have ordinary leadership power and superior officers. Only these professional bureaucrats can gain a foothold in the army.

Du Zhongxiao said: "You start with the simplest mathematics and other things, first pass this subject, and decide to stay or leave. Later, you will learn how to plan for food and grass in the army and various regulations. You must also be trained with the Teaching and Escort Army. Remember, whether it is to plan for food and grass or other things, you are first and foremost a soldier."

After saying that, Du Zhongxiao tried to persuade him and left. Several students started school together. Du Zhongxiao of each school had to go and explain clearly what to do after studying and cheer them up.

It is difficult to change from a feudal army to a modern or modern army that later generations say, and it is easy to say. It is easy to say, because the core is professional management and professional officers. Not to mention officers at this time, even soldiers are professions, and this profession is forced for a lifetime, and there is no chance to change careers. It is difficult to say, first, it is difficult to train professional officers. Du Zhongxiao only has a concept. In the end, how many professional departments should be divided into in the army, the powers of each professional department, and how to execute them, everything must be started from scratch. Another thing is that professional management breaks the stubborn feudal tradition in the army, and there will be a rebound. It is good to say that Yingtianxiang Army is not a regular army, and it will be difficult to implement it to the imperial guards. Not only will officers at all levels oppose doing this, but the emperor's idea is even more difficult to say.

The power of the official team under professional management is in the hands of military bureaucrats, which is very different from before. The basis of the imperial power of the Song Dynasty was military power. It is difficult to say whether the emperor could adapt to this transformation and find a way to control military power again.

If the military management is professionalized and military officials are formed, the division of civil and military affairs will become more serious. At this time, the phenomenon of civil officials using troops as commanders has become the usual practice will lose the foundation, and civil officials will gradually lose the opportunity to lead troops, which may also cause civil officials to rebound.
