After drinking a sip of tea, Du Zhongxiao said: "The world's chaos is nothing but two sides, one is cultural governance and the other is martial arts. The most martial arts of all dynasties are nothing better than those of the Han Dynasty. In the four seas, everyone is in charge. Even if the Han Dynasty is about to perish, the four barbarians are still afraid of it. The most civilized rule is—"

Speaking of this, Du Zhongxiao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "After reading history books, I am afraid that there are only the three dynasties in the legend. However, legends are legends after all, and they don't know whether they are true or not."

Wang Gongchen said: "The rule of the three generations is passed down by historical books and praised by sages. Naturally, there will be no falsehood. As long as our descendants do their best to the country and the people, why worry about not being able to reappear in the prosperous era of the three generations."

Du Zhongxiao laughed when he heard this: "Although I was a Jinshi, I became a civil servant when I became an official. When it comes to civil governance, I am actually not good at it-"

Wang Gongchen said: "Jingshuai was modest. He was the magistrate of Yongcheng and had the first place in the management of the country. Later, Bingzhou, Volcano Army, and Jingxi Road officials all remained in the local area. If Jishuai said that he had no management of the country, how many officials in the world would have the management of the country."

Du Zhongxiao thought for a while and nodded: "Nehan said this, and when you think about it carefully, it seems okay?"

Wang Gongchen smiled and said, "It's not just okay. But the general of Jie's military achievements are too great. He just feels that his past achievements are not worthy of military achievements."

Du Zhong said: "If you don't talk about these, you will talk about martial arts. The Han Dynasty was a thousand years ago. Besides, it is not appropriate to be a minister within the world. Now it should be said that at least, you can restore your hometown to the lowest level. The four barbarians are afraid of submission and can barely be considered the martial arts of the Song Dynasty. To establish martial arts, you must have an invincible army. I just said what nature this army should be. If you have established the nature of the army, it will determine the foundation of the army. Such an army cannot be idle, and even more so, and all soldiers and generals must be good families. The imperial guards must follow this principle when they conduct training and screening soldiers. If they do this, the imperial guards cannot be transformed."

Wang Gongchen nodded without saying a word. After confirming the nature of the army, the source of troops was determined, and major changes were required, without further ado.

Du Zhongxiao said: "I've finished talking about these fundamentals, let's talk about some details. Starting from the Yingtianxiang Army, the army I brought was composed by reference to the civil service system. All the ministers in the court should be able to see it."

Wang Gongchen said: "Most of them have seen it, so the court officials have no objection since the Taiwei Han Dynasty."

Du Zhongxiao nodded. The organizational structure and personnel appointment of the Hequ Road army are actually based on the current civil servant system. It is precisely because of this characteristic that Han Qi had no objection when he was on Hequ Road. The imperial court trained the imperial guards according to the Hequ Road model, and the civil servants fully supported it.

Du Zhongxiao also said: "The characteristic of the civil service system is that power lies in officials and officials, which is roughly the case. Of course, the separation between officials and officials is not so clear now, especially low-level officials, who are often confused with officials. Some officials do official affairs, and some officials do official affairs. What are officials? Of course, it is determined by the court. But there are at least three rules, and only those who meet them are officials."

Wang Gongchen was curious after hearing this: "I dare to ask about the handsome guys in the festival, I wonder which three items can be considered an official?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "Actually, it was decided by the court, but it was just that there was no clear three. The first of the official status is that an official is a vassal official and must have a term of office. Unless the people request and the emperor's grace is approved, it will not be postponed. He must be transferred when it expires."

Wang Gongchen nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed the case now. All the officials who can be granted the postponement are capable ministers."

Du Zhongxiao also said: "The second article is that all officials must follow the law of avoidance. In the place, they are themselves, their families, relatives, and all kinds of old friends, they are not allowed to establish property. Whether they are not in the state, or three hundred miles away from their hometown, eight hundred miles away, or officials on their own roads, they are subject to the prescribed standards of the court. Anyway, they cannot be an official in their hometown. In the capital, there must be no relatives, friends, old friends, and subordinates in the yamen. "

Wang Gongchen nodded. This is also implemented now, not only that, but also includes the prime minister and censors who need to avoid it. If they become prime ministers, those who have relationships cannot be censors and must resign. If they conceal or not, they will be punished. Wang Dan, the prime minister of the previous dynasty, had many in-laws. When Wang Su was the censor, he was demoted to the post because the new prime minister took office and concealed his in-laws relationship.

"Article 3: Officials have the right to recommend subordinate officials, but do not have the power to promote or dismiss. The power of personnel is in the Court of Justice, in the Ministers of the Two Prefectures, and in the Lords. If this is not the case, it is inevitable that a party will become a great disaster."

This is also the system being implemented, but it is not as clear as Du Zhongxiao said. Officials are promoted, there are officials, officials, special orders, demotions, impeachment, unqualified performance, poor governance, etc. In other words, officials do not have the power to promote officials, nor do they have the power to suppress officials' promotion, but some have the power to supervise. Officials can promote officials and dismiss officials. This is the organizational principle of the power in officials and officials. These are the systems implemented in this era, but Du Zhongxiao has made it clear and proposed as principles.

Seeing that Wang Gongchen had no objection, Du Zhongxiao said again: "The generals in the army also borrowed these systems of officials. However, the army is different from the local area, with fewer officials and more officials. Many local officials do things, and the military is done by officials. This is also the reason why the proportion of officers in the Hequ Road Army is much larger than that of the imperial guards. But if it is an official, it must comply with the above three principles. Officials must be promoted to one of them. They cannot be promoted at the headquarters, and both upper and lower levels must be avoided. It is only the unit of the avoidance, which is unified by the court. Other officers have the power to recommend supervision but have no human rights, and are all the same as officials. Of course, if it is in war, some powers can be temporarily granted."

Wang Gongchen nodded: "I understand what Jishuai means. From now on, the soldiers will no longer be owned by the generals, but will be owned by the court."

"That's true. Commanders and commoners have already mentioned earlier. The army is a war, and the commander's status is higher, which is naturally the right thing to do. That is, in the army, the commander forms a system, and unless it is special, the general officer of other systems cannot be a commander. Conversely, the commander can be a general officer. In other words, the commander has a higher requirement and a higher status."

Wang Gongchen heard this and said, "So that's it. In the Hequ Road Army, other officials, including the military supervisor, have never been allowed to be in command. Even if the military supervisor can change generals in the last battle, they can only replace commanders with a higher level. This is why the ministers in the court complained about this, believing that in wartime, they may obey commanders who are lower than their official positions, and cause chaos."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Because of the old class law in the army, the whole country will be confused. If the class law in the Hequlu army is not professional, of course this is the case. The commander has its own system and the general officials will be in charge of the system."

These are actually the organizational principles of the civil service system at that time. Du Zhongxiao only classified professionally. The general categories of officers were divided into commanders and commoners. Commanders formed their own systems, training and promotion, and there were separate channels. Correspondingly, a large number of non-command powers were divided into the commoners system. These two systems correspond to the Privy Council and the Three Yas. The Privy Council took the commander system as the core, while the Three Yas took the commoners system as the core. That is, the commander, extending from the commander along the way to each level.

Such organizational principles have little to do with combat effectiveness, but are for stability, facilitate the control of the army by the court, and make the commander's power less disturbed. The organizational principles remain unchanged, and can maintain combat effectiveness for a long time, at least maintain a relatively low combat effectiveness lower limit. When stimulated, even if the combat effectiveness decreases temporarily, it can recover quickly.

In history, armies with strong combat effectiveness may not have the nature of a rebel army, nor may they have any political principles, nor may they have organizational principles. There is nothing strange about robbers who can sweep the world together because of various reasons.

The Mongols who destroyed the Song Dynasty had their iron cavalry traversed tens of thousands of miles, and the gods blocked the gods and the Buddhas blocked the Buddhas. Their martial arts were rare in ancient and modern times. When foreigners were rampant in the world, they were not civilized teachers, or even filthy places, as long as the enemy could not defeat them.

However, without political principles and cultural foundations, thousands of years later, the Mongols were left to sing and dance. They maintained a narrow territory, but the two great powers were not willing to get too close, and the gifts of others. The British Empire, which once claimed that the sun never set, and several other small European countries that were rampant for a while, were vomited out after hundreds of years, and even their own land could not be integrated.
