Chapter Breaking the Rules

As he tossed and turned, Zhao Bing suddenly thought of running a military academy, cultivating professional officers, abolishing the lifelong military service system, and allowing retired officers to enter the administrative system, which is equivalent to breaking the boundaries between civil and military affairs, at least blurring the difference between civil and military affairs. Is it the way of turning back without distinction between civil and military affairs?

However, Zhao Bing soon felt relieved again. The teaching methods of the military academy he runs adopt modern and modern systems, which is still different from the martial arts of the past.

First of all, the current martial arts aims to cultivate military command officers and professional officers, and at the same time educate them on patriotic ideological ideas to change their past behaviors and ways of thinking, and instead abandon the past as just a way to advance and support their families. Instead, they regard joining the army as an ideal of defending the country, resisting foreign humiliation, and loyalty to the emperor and the people.

Secondly, the current martial arts teaching method has changed the past model of cultivating "generalists" with paper talk or developed limbs, but has become more refined and professional. While improving the combat effectiveness of the army, it can also cultivate general talents such as baggage, military doctors, and Yuhou, so that they can transfer funds into the administrative system even if they retire, and even those who are professional in command can engage in the law enforcement system.

In addition, Zhao Bing changed the enrollment method, not only increasing the number of students, but also increasing the enrollment sources. Each period has more than a thousand students, and the source of students is not limited to the outstanding soldiers who are active, but is also open to social personnel. In this way, no matter whether you are from a farmer, a businessman, a family of officials, or even a scholar who has passed the provincial examination, you can apply for the examination.

The trainees trained in martial arts will become grassroots officers in the army. They break the structure of officers in the past and will have a profound impact on the military system, allowing poor families to have channels to enter the government, thus breaking the monopoly of aristocratic families and wealthy families, and then changing the social structure, improving the mobility of the upper and lower classes, and curbing the corruption of the bureaucratic system.

Especially now, the army's good treatment and smooth promotion methods have attracted many Confucian scholars and scholars to join. You should know that the imperial examination every three years can only be awarded the imperial examination at most hundreds of people, which is hundreds of times more difficult than the modern civil examination.

Although these scholars and Confucian scholars join the army with a pen is utilitarian, they will inevitably improve the quality of the army and command level. They will also change the composition structure of the officers. Even Confucian scholars who pass the provincial examination and provincial examination are considered to be among the sages. Do you think they are born into literati or become martial artists after entering martial arts?

Therefore, it can be said that the entry of scholars into the professional military system is equivalent to blurring the boundaries between civil and military personnel and breaking the thousand-year shackles between the two. According to the current system, these scholars who became professional military officers encountered promotion bottlenecks when they expired during their service. One of them will turn into the administrative agency and integrate into the civil officials system.

So in ten or twenty years later, the bureaucratic system of the Song Dynasty could no longer distinguish between civil and military affairs by its origins, and formed a situation where you have me and I have you, and in the future, they could only be defined by their current positions. This would make the integration of civil and military affairs, and the tradition of emphasizing civil and military affairs would be broken, and it would be difficult to distinguish between each other...

The next day, Zhao Bing was woken up by the military call and quickly got up to wash and change clothes. It was not yet dawn. Because he stayed in the military camp overnight, he did not have the trouble of staying in the wilderness overnight, and he also avoided the trouble of building and dismantling tents. By the time he left the house, the departments had already packed up and prepared to start meals.

During the meal, Chen Shishi and Xu Hong reported to His Majesty the arrangements today. The spies from the Affairs Bureau reported that when they entered the city yesterday, a girl from the Jiaofangsi opened the curtains and attracted the attention of pedestrians. They could not rule out that there were enemy spies. The appearance of so many female members in a transport team would cause many speculations, so a journey would not be too easy.

Xu Hong also contacted the Neiqiu generals and found out that the road ahead was passing through the mountains. There were still a small group of Mongolian Yuan remnants who could not escape deep in the mountains, as well as bandits who occupied the mountains and became kings. They were mostly connected with the wealthy and evil gentry in the city. After the king's army occupied Neiqiu, the powerful and evil gentry were worried about being suppressed, so they fled into the mountains to join the enemy remnants. The bandits often went down the mountain to rob our army's baggage and business brigades.

Due to the limited troops, the local garrison had to guard the county towns and surrounding towns. The bandits hid in the mountains and relied on the familiar terrain to go without a trace, so they could not wipe out all of them for a while. Therefore, they had to travel early, walk out of the mountain area before dark, and camp at the next inn to ensure safety.

In order to prevent attacks in the mountains, Xu Hong not only sent scouts to explore the way, but also mixed the two teams of troops. The vans and precious goods carried by the guild gui in the central army and were escorted by the main force of the guard camp. Unsurprisingly, the team led by the emperor was also organized into it.

In addition, since the convoy of the Transport Department carries a large amount of ammunition, in order to prevent accidents during attack, the vehicles carrying comforting troops from being placed in intervals with them, placed in front and back teams separately to avoid explosions and annihilation of the entire army. The front army is guarded by the guard battalion in the front, and the rear army is guarded by the state army, and has stipulated signals of mutual communication and formulated a response plan for accidents.

In addition, in order to stop fighting on the way, we will send dry food and drinking water to everyone, marching and eating. As for urination, whether it is military soldiers or husbands, they can solve it themselves in secluded places. The trouble is that those singers can only send a toilet bucket in each car, and eating, drinking, defecation and urination in one place will definitely be uncomfortable, but in such conditions, they will only feel wronged for a while.

Since the arrangements were clearly made, and they were all for their own good, Zhao Bing naturally had no objection. After eating, he put on his swords and guns, and then went to the Fire Army to collect his dry food. He found that there were more jerky meat and the portion was larger than others. It was obviously Lao Hu who added ingredients to him.

It was dawn, and the team had already lined up and went out to the east gate in turn. It was not until the Yin hour that time, and there was no contact with the curfew. The streets were empty, with only the crisp "knock" sound of horse hooves hitting the stone road covered with frosty and snow, and the sour "knock" sound of the axle being overwhelmed.

When he reached the city, the city gate had already opened. The guards checked the signs and immediately withdrew from the horse and let them go. Zhao Bing left the city gate. After a while, he looked back and saw Liao Dong standing on the top of the city like a javelin, serking military salute. His face was red by the rising sun. He pulled his horse and turned around and drew his sword to return the salute, and waved his hand to say goodbye to him.

After walking eastward from the city, the convoy turned north to the main road. After walking for a few miles, the road was narrow and the mountains were looking at it, and gradually entered the mountain road. The road was twisting and twisting with the mountains, and they were ups and downs. They left the city early, but they avoided each other's avoidance on the road. The convoy was slow or fast, and they continued all the way.

If it is spring and summer, it is pleasant to walk between the green mountains and green waters. But in this season, the surroundings are withered and yellow, the streams are frozen, and only the mountain wind is howling. The bleak scene makes Zhao Bing feel lost soon.

However, Zhao Bing also always observed the surrounding terrain and mountains. There were not without garrison guarding along the way. There were forts and troops stationed in villages and towns and transportation hubs. Outposts were also arranged at the commanding heights where the terrain was dangerous, and beacons were built. Once the enemy was discovered, the beacon fire would be ignited and the surrounding garrisons would notify the surrounding garrisons to arrive.

Zhao Bing was very familiar with this arrangement. When he first arrived in Qiongzhou, in order to force Zhu Li to surrender, he used a combination of blocking roads and building fortresses to trap Zhu Li in the mountains. However, as Liao Dong said, due to the limitation of military strength, they could only adopt the strategy of key defense. On the long traffic line, the small roads and ravines were intertwined, and omissions would also occur.

Along the way, they also met the convoy of the opposite carriage and asked if the future was stable and there were no bandits, but everyone still did not dare to be careless. They were unsheathed, and the guns were kept, and the whistle probes were constantly. By noon, they walked twenty miles, but on the mountain road, the people and horses were very tired, especially those servants who relied on their legs to rush on the road and had to take care of the carriages and horses. They couldn't help but complain as they marched continuously.

So Zhu Yu and Xu Hong discussed that the trip was halfway through and the road ahead was down, so they would definitely be able to arrive at the camp before dark. The carriage-pulling horse was too hard to go up the slope, and after many days of marching, they were tired. If they didn't take a break, they would be exhausted and would delay the trip.

Xu Hong knew that horse-riding was chosen by horse farms and was not suitable for horses to be eliminated by war horses, and his physical strength was much worse than that of war horses. He looked at the fur of those horse-riding horses being wet with sweat, his nostrils were wide and hot, and he was in a low spirit. He knew that what he said was true, so he chose a relatively wide and flat river beach to rest for a while.

Although his vision was relatively wide, Xu Hong did not dare to relax his vigilance, so he set up a lookout post at the commanding heights, and did not allow the horse to be unloaded, the pack horses were not allowed to unload goods, and the war horses were not allowed to unload saddles, so as to prevent any changes. The convoy had just been placed, and the servants quickly dug ice to get water to drink the horses, and took out the forage to feed the horses. They also seized the time to eat and rest for a while.

Zhao Bing naturally couldn't neglect it. He knew that if you didn't serve the war horse well at this moment, it wouldn't serve you well after it was finished. So he quickly drank the horse and put the feed bag full of essence on the horse's mouth to feed it. He also took out the dough cake from the dry food bag that he had been holding in his arms and ate it with dried meat. As for hot water, don't think about it. There is no thermos in the past, and in order to prevent the water from freezing, wine is mixed in it, and the taste is also strange.

"I have hot soup here, do you use some?" Just as Zhao Bing was eating and drinking in the cold wind, the curtain of the van parked next to him was lifted open, and a keen singer poked his head and asked shyly.

"I don't understand the rules!" Zhao Bing was stunned when he heard the sound. He looked around and realized that he was talking to him. But before he could answer, a female inspector scolded him first, pulled down the curtain, and bowed to him softly, "Your Majesty atones for his sins, shocked the Holy Lord..."
