Chapter 041 The hereditary set must be abolished

After sitting for a while, everyone saw Chen Hai coming. Chen Hai was the head of everyone, but now he has been promoted to slaughter. Although Xu Xingxia and others don’t like him in their hearts, they have to stand up and salute due to their etiquette and superiors and subordinates.

Chen Hai's expression seemed a little strange, as if he was worried. Facing his former subordinates, he forced out some smiles and said to Xu Xingxia and others: "You sit for a while, and you will come up with the food and drinks for a while, and you are all waiting for the commander of the guard!"

Xu Xingxia said calmly: "Hasn't Mr. Deng returned to Ningxia City?"

Chen Hai said casually: "I heard that you wiped out the Tartars and he is back."

Xu Xingxia nodded thoughtfully and said nothing.

Chen Hai seemed very busy, so he bowed his farewell and left in a hurry. As soon as he walked not far, someone asked him about the banquet. It turned out that he was actually assigned to take charge of the kitchen. No wonder he was in such a bad mood. It was supposed to be the work of the women, but it was disturbed by the Tartars. Chen Hai was arrested and replaced when he was about to come. It would be strange if he could be in a good mood.

From this point of view, it can be seen that Chen Hai is not particularly popular in the mind of his superiors. In fact, how could he be the boss’s confidant when he was assigned to the Niujiao Dun? That is not a position with good fortune. On the contrary, it is a very dangerous position. Once the Tartars move south in a large scale, Niujiao Dun will definitely be pulled out.

Zhang Quanfu whispered: "Damn, when the Tartars came, they all ran away! Now the Tartars are gone, they all appeared one by one! What kind of world is this!"

Xu Xingxia looked around quietly and said in a low voice: "Lao Zhang, don't talk nonsense, be careful of the ears of the wall. If you have any complaints, I'll talk about it later when you go back."

Zhang Quanfu swallowed hard and retracted all the words behind him. To be honest, he really complained a lot, especially after shooting two Tartars with his own hands. He was very disgusted with those bosses who were incompetent and brave. Otherwise, when he was in Niujiaoduan, he would not have been unable to pee with Chen Hai.

The supreme leader attending the banquet had not arrived yet, so it was impossible for the food and drinks to come up. The table was empty. The four families looked at the empty table and didn't know what to say. On such occasions, it seemed that it was not appropriate to have sex. If they didn't have sex, they would be afraid of hearing the walls. After all, most military households were relatively brave and did not dare to offend their boss.

Dongzi and Niu Niu sat beside Xu Xingxia, holding their cheeks, not knowing what to do. They had nothing to eat and could not talk nonsense. For the two children, they were so depressed. The same was true for other children. Judging from their expressions, they knew that they were suffering. If they had known this, they would not have come.

Xu Xingxia looked around, stood up, and walked towards the kitchen. After a while, she happened to meet Chen Hai. Chen Hai was scolding the people in the kitchen and scolding several chefs who made temporary guest appearances. When he saw Xu Xingxia coming, he let go of those people. Xu Xingxia pretended not to see anything and said calmly: "Chen Zhenfu, are there any peanuts or something?"

Chen Hai knew that he wanted to give some food to a group of children, so he waved his hand and asked the people in the kitchen to send two plates of fried peanuts to Xu Xingxia and the others on each table. After Xu Xingxia thanked him, he returned to his seat and the children from each family happily ate peanuts. Xu Xingxia also picked up a peanut and chewed it slowly.

The commander of the guard Deng Rubai was slow to come, and there were a lot of customers in Qianhu's house. These people were basically all the families of officers who arrived in Weizhen Fort or Pinglu City. The military households of the guard station were all with their families, so it was absolutely impossible to separate too far. The families of the officers were naturally much more gorgeous than those of Xu Xingxia and the four families. They all subconsciously distanced themselves away from Xu Xingxia and others, as if they were afraid of defiling their clothes.

The one who likes to show off the most is probably the wife of Wang Shoulu of Baihu. Relying on his confidant of Peng Feng of Qianhu, Wang Shoulu often set his role as the deputy Qianhu. Naturally, his wife was the same. But this woman was tall and mighty, full of fat, and was a first-class fighter. She was famous for her fierceness in the circle of women. Tonight's military family was naturally led by her.

Since she appeared, everyone around Xu Xingxia was feeling like pins and needles. There was no way. In the past, this woman's tyranny was indeed too powerful. Wang and the others were not afraid. If Xu Xingxia had not seemed very calm, and on this special occasion, they would have been unable to help but give up.

Suddenly, there was another rapid sound of horse hooves outside, and hundreds of cavalrymen arrived. In a vague way, the screams of military households outside could be heard, and there was a sound of curses or two in the middle. It was probably not a good person who came. Sure enough, after a moment, someone dragged a long tone and shouted: "Chief Commander Deng arrived!"

It was indeed the commander of the guard Deng Rubai who arrived.

By the way, Deng Rubai was also unlucky. Not long after he returned to Ningxia City, he received a report that there were only thirty or forty Tatar cavalry. He regretted that he did not stay in Weizhen Fort and commanded him to guard there. There were only thirty or forty Tatars. He was a guard commander and ran away, and he was a military officer who was under him in vain.

Of course, the military households below were all ants, and their views were completely irrelevant. Even if they cursed him day and night behind him, they would not have any impact on him. However, the opinions from the superiors had to be carefully considered. As the commander of the guards, he was frightened by thirty or forty Tartars and ran away in a hurry. If the news spread, they would definitely be ridiculed by the people of the war system. If the general and the governor knew that if they were not done well, they would be more despised by the guards.

Although in Ningxia Town, no one expected the Guard Army to be able to fight, even the Ministry of War basically excluded the Guard Army when considering the war. However, as a member of the Guard Army, especially as the commander of the Guard Army, Deng Rubai did not want to be so many times? He was humiliated every time he met a general in the war. No one would like to taste this feeling often, right?

Moreover, this is seriously related to the issue of money and grain distribution next time. General Li Guozhen has been thinking of ways to deduct the money and grain of the guards and supplement the war soldiers. Governor Li Maohui's meaning is similar. If the governor and general say that if they don't do anything, they will need so much money and grain to do, it will be a tragedy. If there is not enough money and grain, he, the commander of the guard, is still under great pressure.

While hesitating, Deng Rubai received another news that the invading Tartars had been wiped out by Xu Xingxia and the others. Deng Rubai was overjoyed and thought about it carefully, thinking that he still had to go back to Weizhen Fort and wipe his butt clean. As long as he wiped his butt clean, everyone's attention would be focused on Xu Xingxia. At that time, he would use Xu Xingxia to make a fuss and humiliate the war soldiers system and earn more money and food from Li Guozhen with confidence.

Since he wanted to wipe his butt clean, Deng Rubai didn't mind making the momentum bigger. Not only did Deng Rubai go back, but the two commanders and commanders of the two guards, Jiang Junfei, Zhao Hanping, four guards, Pan Haihua, Zhou Yi'an, Qin Huiwen, Cao Shiyu and others also came. In other words, the senior management of Ningxia's avant-garde were all dispatched.

These commanders and commanders were older than Deng Rubai. Deng Rubai seemed to have no energy, but they were even worse than Deng Rubai. There was no way, the military households were hereditary. Soldiers were soldiers, and officers were officers. When they were born, they were destined to be officers, so they naturally would not train hard. They were basically just a waste of time every day. It seemed that Qi Jiguang, who was born as a commander, but had both civil and military affairs, was too few, and they were almost rare.

This is exactly what Xu Xingxia criticized the most.

You said, how can an army be stipulated like this? There is no incentive system at all! I am the commander of the Wei Dynasty. In the future, my own me, grandson, etc. will be all the commander of the Wei Dynasty. Such a system is simply a joke. Perhaps the founding country still knows how to fight, but when it comes to my own son and grandson, how can I still know how to fight?

If you don’t know how to fight, do you put him as an officer? You are not seeking death on purpose? Not only do you seek death on purpose, but you also have to take the entire garrison to seek death on purpose! I don’t know what Lao Zhu thought at the beginning, but he actually came up with such a perverted system.

The officers were occupied by hereditary military households. Even if they did not have any military achievements, they were all officers. Unless they made great mistakes, they would not be demoted. In this way, there would be no extra officer positions available. Even if they were vacant, they would be filled by their sons. How can those who have meritorious people be promoted? Those who have military achievements cannot be promoted, and those who have the ability cannot become high-ranking officials. Can the military army be defeated?

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the organization of the garrison. Organizations such as the small flag, the general flag, the hundred households, the thousand households, the guards, the chief officers, and the five armies can also be applied on the battlefield. In the era of cold weapons, there were indeed a lot of commanding ten people, which may not be fully estimated, but it is not completely impossible. The key is that officers of each level should have certain command capabilities and be able to assume corresponding responsibilities. In other words, officers of each level cannot have waste or just fill in the numbers.

Obviously, to achieve this, the hereditary system must be abolished. The incentive mechanism of the capable and the mediocre must be implemented. Simply put, it is to say that those with ability come up, and those who are not capable get out of it. It is even simpler to report it to the army. All positions must be mobile. Whoever has the ability will go up. Those who can fight will be promoted and make a fortune. Those who cannot fight will go home and hold their wives and children.
