After hearing this, Zhao Bing didn't say anything, but his face was not very good. He knew that in the past, the generals were from generals, the grassroots, and the lower-level soldiers came to accumulate merits. The generals were not bad, and they could learn military skills through the words and deeds of their fathers and brothers. The other two types of military generals were either killed by their own bravery and shots, or the bandits who were recruited. Most of their troops were led by relying on personal experience and courage, and they had not systematically learned military knowledge.

The five imperial guards originally belonged to the Huguang Division were adapted from the imperial guards in front of the original palace, but the components were relatively complicated. The commander of the imperial guards in front of the palace in the Song court was murdered by Chen Yizhong. The main force either surrendered or dispersed in the battle against Mongolia, and almost lost all. Later, it was reorganized based on the rebel army led by Jiang Wanzai. At this time, the imperial guards in front of the palace were the children of the Jiang family as the backbone.

After that, during the protection of the imperial guards in the court, the imperial guards in front of the palace fought several fierce battles, and their troops were severely damaged. The children of the Jiang family, "Three Ancient Twelve Zhai", were also seriously injured and suffered heavy casualties. Empress Dowager Yang felt deeply loyal and righteousness of the Jiang family, and issued an order to release some of the Jiang family's children when the situation was most difficult to stop the Jiang family from being cut off, but the Jiang family's father and son were still headed.

The imperial guards in front of the back hall continued to fight and absorb the rebels of the Song army from all over the world and the scattered remnants of the Song army. Jiang Wanzai also died in order to rescue the young emperor Zhao Sheng who fell into the water, and the power to command the army was also handed over to the hands of the Jiang brothers. However, under the joint suppression of Chen Yizhong and Zhang Shijie, he was marginalized and his strength declined, and his strength was no longer as strong as that of the Huai Army led by Zhang Shijie.

After that, during Zhao Bing's succession, Jiang Jin still led his troops to support him to take office. After experiencing the Battle of Yashan, all the troops in the Chaozhou Dynasty suffered heavy losses and had to go to Qiongzhou. Zhao Bing took the opportunity to reorganize the armies and formed the guards in the front of the hall and the guards in the front of the hall based on the commander's army; all the remaining troops in the Chaozhou Dynasty were incorporated into the imperial guards in the front of the hall, and eliminated Zhang Shijie's power, and supplemented the rebel army, and still led by Jiang Jin.

This laid the structure of the New Song army, whether it was changing the military rank or expanding the integration, and it has been maintained to this day. The sixth, seventh, and eighth third troops participating in the war in Xiangyang are all affiliated with the imperial guards in front of the original palace. Although the three commanders are not children of the Jiang family, they are all their old generals:

Pan Niansuan, the commander of the Sixth Army, was born in a military family. His grandfather Pan Congyuan was proficient in martial arts and served as an instructor in Jizhou. His father Pan Tong was the top scholar in Chunyou and was promoted to the Grand Secretary of the Secretary-General. Pan Nian learned literature and practiced martial arts since childhood. After becoming an adult, he was both civil and military. He led Yi troops to Xiangshan to suppress the enemy and was appointed as the commander of Nan'ao, which was at the junction of Fujian and Guangdong, and was later incorporated into the imperial guards in front of the palace.

Wu Longqi, the commander of the Seventh Army, was a rural hero. When the Yuan army approached Taishan, he organized more than 8,000 volunteers from the countryside to transport 7,000 stones of food to Yashan, and raised an army to defend the country and serve the king. Later, he performed very well in the battle of Yashan, and followed him to Qiongzhou, and was assigned to the imperial guards in front of the hall, becoming one of the basic forces. Wu Longqi was entrusted as the leader, and he became the commander with more than ten years of expansion. However, although he had read a few days, he did not read much.

Zhang Ba, the commander of the Eighth Army, was the former subordinate of Zhang Shijie's Huai Army. He was once the commander of his commander and was his confidant. During the Battle of Yashan, many Huai Army generals either died in battle or surrendered to the enemy after repeated defeats. Zhang Ba survived by chance. After arriving in Qiongzhou, Zhang Shijie's military power was seized, and the remnants were incorporated into the imperial guards in front of the hall. He asked Zhao Bing to treat his subordinates well. He pardoned a group of rebel generals for his death, and Zhang Ba retained his official position. He accumulated merits from the lower-level soldiers and gave him no ink in his stomach.

The low quality of officers and lack of military literacy was also a common phenomenon in the military at that time. Therefore, before the Song army fully replaced firearms, Zhao Bing considered this issue. He knew that the alternation of hot and cold weapons was not just about the replacement of weapons, but also the comprehensive reform of the troops from the organization of the army to combat methods, military ideas and strategies, and tactics. Therefore, he formed a new training camp and various professional training classes, and organized middle and senior officials to participate in the training, so that they could adapt to the new situation as soon as possible.

In addition, Zhao Bing also re-compiled the "Cath Dictation" suitable for military generals at all levels. These manuals are distributed to officers of the corresponding level. They include guidance from how to organize training, combat, to marching, and camping, and how much place a soldier occupies when setting up a formation, how many meters a soldier should be, how many people a square array occupy, how much area a square array occupies, how much space between a square array and a square array, how to move when changing the formation to change the formation, etc.

"The Book of Cautions" is not static, because Zhao Bing is also exploring and summarizing experiences. He will recompile every year, delete and modify inappropriate clauses and add new content. And without any war, he asked officers at all levels to summarize, discuss gains and losses, write their experiences, select distinctive battle examples from them and compile them into volumes and distribute them to various departments. He will also hold short-term training classes in martial arts to organize learning in order to improve their command level.

The reason why Zhao Bing spent a lot of energy on this is because considering the uneven quality of the generals in the army, and the organization and command of the operations are inseparable from solid mathematical calculations, the various numbers involved are already tingling. Moreover, the battlefield situation changes rapidly, and it is really impossible to calculate these results under such a tense situation. Without superhuman psychological qualities, it is really impossible.

That's why Zhao Bing came up with a simple and easy-to-use "fool-style" method. Even if the military generals have poor foundations, they can get started quickly as long as they pay attention to their studies. And he also practiced it himself. Not only did he personally teach the guard camp around him to read and read, but he also required the soldiers of the imperial guards to also know the text and tell the basic arithmetic. After the General's Mansion Army had just settled down, he began to use the night school to open a night school, compile textbooks by himself, and teach the soldiers to learn basic knowledge.

Therefore, the imperial guards have always had a strong learning atmosphere, and the troops reorganized from the former commander's office have always maintained this tradition. After learning, many people can recognize texts, write military documents, and proficient in four calculations. They can recognize pictures and draw pictures. They have already possessed the basic qualities of becoming officers. This not only laid the foundation for cultivating reserve officers, but also improved the quality of the entire team...

If it is true as Sun Kai said now, then there are really problems with the divisions under the jurisdiction of the former Huguang Division. Senior officers do not pay attention to learning, and are still relying on their capital and not making progress. But officers are the soul of a unit. They are all scattered, and the soldiers at the bottom are not much better. I am afraid they only want to finish their service period and be able to go home quickly.

Now the army of Jiangdong has advanced rapidly, conquered important towns and even recovered Nanjing Yingtian Prefecture. However, they wandered in Xiangyang, with no hope of rewards and slim promotion, which will inevitably lead to a low morale. This will make middle and lower-level officers in various departments complain and feel that they have no hope. They want to be transferred back to Jiangdong for work, and some even apply to retire early.

"How did coach Jiang Zhi lead the team like this?" Zhao Bing sighed after being silent for a long time.

"Your Majesty, the war in Jingxiang is stalemate, and the generals are negative. Jiang Jie is unbearable, but he also has his own difficulties." Wang Yinglin said from the side.

"I have never lost their money and food, and the military equipment is allocated on time and in quantity, and the rewards are also as usual. Local matters are under his charge. As long as he submits it and never rejects it, what is his difficulty?" Zhao Bing said in a very puzzled manner when he heard this.

"It is precisely because of his favor that Jiang Zhishou became more and more frightened, fearing that he would let His Majesty down." Wang Yinglin replied.

"Oh, Your Majesty, I forgot something, let's go back and make some arrangements first!" Sun Kai was feeling uncomfortable when he heard the conversation between the king and his minister. He knew that this had already involved the struggle within the court, and that it was not something he could participate in or listen to, so he found an excuse to say.

"Well, you go!" Zhao Bing waved his hand indifferently.

"I'm leaving!" After Sun Kai saluted the emperor and Wang Xiang, he jumped out of the car without waiting for the car to stop. Without saying a word, he just nodded to Ni Liang, who was escorting the guards, and rode the war horse led by his personal soldiers.

"Can someone criticize it in the court?" Zhao Bing raised his eyes and looked at Wang Yinglin and frowned.

"It is indeed someone who privately talked about it, saying, 'Brother becomes the prime minister, I am the governor', this is a sign of civil turmoil in the country!" Wang Yinglin pondered for a moment.

"No, the three generations of the Jiang family are loyal and kind, how could they have the intention of rebellion? They should be punished!" Zhao Bing shouted angrily after hearing the attack on the case.

"His Majesty……"

"Who will Your Majesty kill? I will kill you in person!" Hearing the emperor slamming the table and cursing, Ni Liang immediately jumped into the car, lifted the curtain and looked at Wang Yinglin.

"I...I won't kill anyone now, you can retreat!" He suddenly came in, scared Zhao Bing and scolded with a smile.

"Yes!" Ni Liang responded and shrouded his knife and said to the coachman, "You guys go down, I'll drive!"

"Tong Ni is really loyal to Your Majesty!" Wang Yinglin was frightened and said in a daze that he wiped the sweat from his head and couldn't help but laugh.

"This foolish guy is nervous, which scared Wang Xiang!" Zhao Bing poured tea for Wang Yinglin and sighed softly and recalled, "When the emperor's brother passed away, I went alone to succeed the throne. Jiang Zhishuai just held a sword in his arms and guarded me day and night to prevent villains from harming me. It seems like he was right in front of me."

"When our dynasty was overthrown, the Jiang family went to the trouble, and more than a hundred people died in one family, and hundreds of people in the sect were loyal and righteous. This loyalty and righteousness have never been heard of in the ages." Zhao Bing took a sip of tea and calmed down his emotions, "Jiang Prime Minister was ordered by the Queen Mother to enter the palace and take on the responsibility of teaching. He was in danger of danger and was always in danger. He never left the enemy. He was the commander of the commander of Jiang to protect the lords. He led his troops to fight with the Mongol Yuan and spared his life to protect the safety of the dynasty. Then he led his troops to repel Qiongzhou several times, and marched into Jiangnan to lead his troops to recover Huguang and guard Jinghu, with outstanding achievements. If their brothers were to rebel, why should they wait until today!"
