Walking in the military camp with Du Zhongxiao and Yao Shouxin, Shi Quanbin has been considering the military system of the Yingtianxiang Army. He came from a family of eunuchs and has been with the emperor in the palace since the Five Dynasties. He is well-informed. He was adopted by the Shi family when he was young and followed his father. He is not only familiar with the allusions in the palace, but also reads and reads many books. He has started step by step since the little yellow gate. He has held power in the palace, served official positions outside, and has led thousands of troops along the border. His knowledge is beyond ordinary people.

After thinking for a long time, Shi Quanbin suddenly remembered that Du Zhongxiao's approach to Yingtianxiang Army was similar to the county and state soldiers of the Han Dynasty? It was precisely because it was similar to the county and state soldiers, and the prefectural commander was in charge of the military list, how could it be that it was not important to it? Compared with other armies under his rule, these people are more reliable.

However, unlike the soldiers of the county and state, after being removed from service, these people only brought a village soldier, and did not have any teachings in the Spring and Autumn Period. However, as long as the armored guardhouse in the state is present, this is a potential military force that can compete with other armies.

After understanding this, Shi Quanbin understood why Du Zhongxiao emphasized that the military order was in charge of the military order. Later generations often said that at this time, officials at this time were to take up the horse and control the people. In fact, only the magistrates were magistrates. The magistrates were not all civil officials, and most important places were military officials. The chief officials at the prefecture level were not only magistrates, but also governors who directly used military generals. The magistrates did not control the military, and the magistrates who were not officials in the capital were county magistrates, and they belonged to the civil servants.

At this time, the prefect was not a prince of the Han Dynasty. His power had long been divided, and his additional power would not make people think about it. He only had a reliable force in his hands and was less restricted by the magistrate and the supervisor. If the prefect wanted to have the power of the county magistrate during the Han Dynasty, he had to add a lot of entrusted positions. For example, the commander of the commander had a long list of part-time jobs, which was simply called the commander of the commander. Without part-time jobs, the power of the prefect was greatly restricted. He was not the lord of the same party, but only an official position attached to the court.

For example, Shi Quanbin is the envoy of the Lingzhou Tuanjian. If he really goes to Lingzhou to return to his town, he will be the chief official of that state and will not be appointed. If the court adds a word that does not sign the affairs of the state, he will be a free official, and there will be a magistrate and corresponding officials. The prefecture is originally a vassal state, a military governor, a defense, a delegation, a governor, an observation and other seals. Only in rare cases, these vassal state officials will be allowed to be appointed, which is a special honor. When the vassal state officials are actually appointed, their power is far greater than that of the magistrate, and all the officials in the court are responsible for him. In name, they are no longer a foreigner in the court.

The Song Dynasty reduced the vassal states, not because there were no vassal states, but the vast majority only had no names, and the vassal states were still there. Usually, the seals of the vassal states were divided by officials in the state, and many government and military affairs were still issued in the name of the vassal states.

Shi Quanbin knew very well about this. The military system was closer to the military system and the Han dynasties, which was also a direction for military system reform. As long as the affairs of the state were the governors, not the governors, defense censors, regiments, and governors, the court did not have to worry.

After thinking through everything, Shi Quanbin realized that he had underestimated Yingtianxiangjun and Du Zhongxiao. He set up Yingtianxiangjun and added Yingtianxiangjun. Du Zhongxiao actually tried two system reforms at the same time. One is that the fields were newly reclaimed, and the households belonging to Yingtianyuan were similar to equal fields. The fields of each family were similar to those of the rich and poor. Depending on the Yingtianyuan system, Yingtianxiangjun was similar to the soldiers of the county and state, and was selected from the good families through schools. Their treatment and military merits were shared by the local government.

All good families were used to join the army, and the officers and soldiers were all civilians in the local area. The Yingtian Xiang Army was completely different from the imperial guards and Xiang Army at this time. It favored the selection system of county and state soldiers, which also made it different from the archers, even the Baojia, which had signs of signs of foreign soldiers, and also from the palace soldiers in the Tang Dynasty.

The Yingtianxiang Army was selected and did not rely particularly on the local area. All military supplies were supplied by the army. The officers were professionalized, while the soldiers were semi-professional. The combat effectiveness of the army did not rely on the local land system, and other places could be the same. The treatment was exempted from service. When joining the army, the main household and the customer were the same. As long as there were families and no assets, the registered household could join the army.

What should I do if the equal fields of Yingtianjiao are destroyed now? Destruction will not affect Yingtianxiangjun, that is not Du Zhongxiao's business. What the Yingtianxiangjun needs is local stability, and households and people are allocated, and all they need is manpower, not material resources.

If such a military system is implemented, Shi Quanbin is not sure whether many places in the army that are different from those in the imperial guards will affect their combat effectiveness. After Zhao Yu came here a few days ago, he praised the Yingtianxiang Army. Especially the artillery, Zhao Yu concluded that it would become an important force that will affect the outcome of the war in the future. No army in the world uses artillery more than the Yingtianxiang Army. This matter attracted the attention of the emperor and the prime minister, so he specially sent Shi Quanbin to evaluate the combat effectiveness of the Yingtianxiang Army. He went to Guangnan for thousands of miles and was the Xiang army sequence. If he could not win the battle, this joke would be a big deal. It would be fine to use the local Xiang army, but to send the Xiang army from Jingxi Road thousands of miles away to be the main force.

Shi Quanbin had not seen the combat effectiveness of Yingtian Xiangjun, and the military system alone gave him a headache. Except for the imperial guards in the capital, the imperial guards and Xiangjun outside were led by local officials and the three yamen, mainly local officials. Du Zhongxiao had the power to reform the army, as long as this reform was within the scope of permission. Now it is only the Xiangjun that has the dual nature of imperial guards and rural soldiers, and it is not out of the way.

Just as Shi Quanbin was thinking about his concern, he suddenly heard a horn sound, and the military camp became lively.

Shi Quanbin was shocked and asked Du Zhongxiao beside him: "Why did the horn suddenly ring? Could it be that there is military information?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "The regiment training is just to tell the officers and soldiers in the army that after the lunch break, they should quickly reorganize the army. The officers have to give a lecture and do their own arrangements. In the military camp, everything is disciplined, and food, clothing, housing and transportation must be followed."

Shi Quanbin nodded and then realized that in ordinary military camps, when the horns sounded, there was emergency military information, but I didn't expect that this place would be so casual.

Seeing the army officers and soldiers gathering teams nearby from time to time, Shi Quanbin said: "He lifted up, the army is blowing horns so frequently, and everyone is tight. What if we encounter enemy situations during war? We can't stop blowing horns when it's time to war."

Du Zhongxiao said: "The military orders are the same as everyday, but it is another way to wartime. The horns are different, and the golden drums and flags used in the military have different uses and tunes. The soldiers in the military are trained and must distinguish the differences and differences."

Shi Quanbin nodded: "So, the trumpet blowers in the army are also experienced people, and they are not something that ordinary people can do."

"That's natural. Advocating is an order from the army, so how can you do it at will? Anyone who applauds and praises is a call to the crowd."

The military horn commonly used in later generations had not yet been introduced to the Central Plains, and occasionally saw it was regarded as a rare matter. The daily use of the golden drum horn is difficult to have a clear tune, and there are only a few simple sounds, mainly used for gathering and scheming. Du Zhongxiao wanted to use the military horn, but that thing looked simple, and for those who were not familiar with music, it would be difficult to make it.

Looking at the teams that left after the entire team, Shi Quanbin said: "Although there is no solemnity in the army, the army is strict and the discipline is clear, which is not comparable to that of weak brigades. The difficulty of training the army lies in order, and the second is formation. Looking at the army in the middle of the army, every move is commanding and uniform, it is not easy."

Du Zhongxiao was most proud of the army he trained in was discipline. After hearing this, he said to Shi Quanbin: "Look at the team training, the teams in the military camp are not just neat, they walk in the same pace. The steps each person takes are almost the same, and they will not be messed up even if they walk far away."

Shi Quanbin looked carefully and it was true. The marching soldiers did not pay special attention to their feet, but the distance they walked at every step was almost the same. Even the foot was about the same. After walking far, the team was still neat. This was obviously only possible after a long period of training, and there were fixed standards. It was very clear how far they took and how many steps they took were one slate.

Being able to maintain a neat marching appearance is already the standard for strengthening the army. If you want to reach the level of the Yingtianxiang Army, even the Imperial Army will not be able to join the Fourth Army.

Curious for a moment, Shi Quanbin asked Du Zhongxiao: "It will definitely take countless efforts to practice this kind of sternly. I wonder what the use is?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "The benefits of neat military appearance to the morale of military discipline are not mentioned, but the actual use of it in the war. We use muskets, requiring them to advance and retreat together, and shoot together. The more neat the orderly they are, the greater the power, and the greater the damage they will cause to the enemy. They are used to this in their usual manner. They do not need to command special orders when they are in the battle, but can move forward and backward neatly and charge medicine and fire guns. The drum beats are just reminders and inspiring people, and they do not rely entirely on the drum beats to command."
