In Chongzheng Hall, Zhao Zhen gave him a seat and gave him a tea soup. He said to several important officials: "From Hequ Road, he has won a great victory and performed martial arts in Chongzheng Hall. Officials have issued a letter to the court to re-train the imperial guards like the army on Hequ Road. Even the generals of the three yamen also gave a letter to the letter, and even volunteered to go to Hequ Road to serve. This matter is imperative. Today, we call you to discuss this matter."

Pang Ji held the scepter and said, "Your Majesty, Du Zhongxiao, the Hequ Road Strategic Envoy, wrote a few days ago to propose a military system. I don't know how to say it?"

Zhao Zhen said: "Du Taibao wrote thousands of words, and what he said was very complicated. I have not read it yet, so I will stay at home and not post it. You can speak freely. In a few days, Du Taibao's memorial will be sent. All officials will read it and make an agreement."

Pang Ji said: "I understand. Taiwei Han personally experienced the war in Hequ Road, which is beyond the reach of others. This matter can be presided over by the Privy Council and assisted by all officials."

Seeing Pang Ji pushing him cleanly, Zhao Zhen said to Han Qi: "What does Privy Council think?"

Han Qi could see that Zhao Zhen’s intention was to not let the Political Affairs Hall intervene, so he held the scepter to Zhao Zhen: “I think that Du Jingluo’s actions in Suizhou were the most important for several years. The military achievements of Hequ Road were the result, and the military training in Suizhou was the reason, and the consequences could not be reversed. The court used Du Jingluo as the governor of Chongxin Army, and also valued his actions in Suizhou. Your Majesty should designate civil and military ministers to discuss this matter together. First of all, we must understand what Du Jingluo did in Suizhou and do everything. According to this, we will have a look at the imperial guards. Lingnan has been pacified, so I asked Yang Ting to return to Beijing to participate in this matter.”

The Chongxin Army was the military quota of Suizhou, and it was indeed a glory to be named Du Zhongxiao as the governor of the Chongxin Army. However, the most important reason for this is that the newly occupied place is inappropriate, and there is no military quota in Shengzhou and Fengzhou. Du Zhongxiao's hometown Xuzhou has a very important position, and the Fengzhongwu Army has been too high as soon as he started.

Liang Shi, who was beside Pang Ji, heard this and said, "If this is the case, it's better to let Du Jinglei say it himself."

Han Qi said: "It's a bad thing to participate in politics. When Du Jingluo Suizhou was not sure how to train the army, he tried step by step. Some of the things he did on that day were right, some were wrong, and he made changes at the same time. Some of the things he had done were because he found a better way, and some were wrong. After many years, how could Du Jingluo remember all these? The so-called bystanders should be clear about this matter, and other officials should be used."

Di Qing was the Privy Councilor, and the most important supporter of the prime minister was Liang Shi. Pang Ji was the only prime minister, and the second prime minister was empty. Liang Shi thought about it for a long time. Originally, his plan was that Gao Ruonai was above him, and the second prime minister should be Gao Ruonai. As a military general, it was impossible for Di Qing to be the prime minister. He drove Gao Ruonai away and if he was the second prime minister, of course he should be himself. Unexpectedly, Hequ Road won a great victory, Di Qing replaced Wang Yiyong, and Han Qi was a waste of time and was full of complaints to Han Qi.

Liu Han and Wang Yaochen, deputy envoy of the Privy Councillor, sat upright, looked at Liang Shi's embarrassment and said nothing.

Pang Ji asked why Du Zhongxiao's memorial was not sent, and then he knew it, showing the prime minister's attitude. The meaning of each question and answer was very clear. Zhao Zhen did not want Du Zhongxiao to participate, and even his opinions were not wanted to let the ministers know now. Pang Ji's meaning, if Du Zhongxiao did not participate, it would be casual. The Political Affairs Hall did not express his opinions and pushed them to the Privy Council. Han Qi understood the meaning and clearly stated that it was not appropriate for Du Zhongxiao to participate, otherwise why would he have to go back to the capital? Only Liang Shi was thinking about being prime minister and not taking care of his main affairs. He was just trying to be a little thought, so how could he be Han Qi's opponent?

Seeing Zhao Zhen looking at him, Di Qing held the scepter: "I think that the imperial guards are completely different from the Hequ Road army. To change the imperial guards, we must first let the imperial guards understand how the Hequ Road army fights. You can command and train the generals in the capital to form an army, and select elite soldiers from Hequ Road as coaches to learn how to fight like them. I invite myself to join the army and learn with the generals! Generals will learn and go back to coach the officers and soldiers of the headquarters, so fast!"

Zhao Zhen said: "Supreme wishes to study together like soldiers, and be humble, why worry about this failure! Soldiers should not be ruthless and should not be proud of themselves. What Privy to those who say is sincere."

Han Qi looked around coldly and roughly guessed that Du Zhongxiao must have opposed Di Qing's approach. It was not that he had a scheming in his heart, and Zhao Zhen would not say this to Di Qing. Before the Battle of Hequ, the military general that Zhao Zhen was most satisfied with was Di Qing. His opinion only praised his attitude, which shows what he actually thought.

The method Di Qing said was in line with the facts of the Song Dynasty and was most acceptable to most people. Isn’t it just to give up on swords, guns and cannons? I just can’t learn it. Generals learned it, went back to coach soldiers, changed their weapons, everything was as usual, and the impact was the least.

Seeing that no one was talking for a moment, the Hanlin scholar Zeng Gongliang held the scepter: "Your Majesty, I think this matter cannot be too urgent. This time, the Taiwei Han returned to Beijing from Hequ Road and brought back some booklets for learning in the army there. I read a few books at a very detailed look. How the soldiers train soldiers and what knowledge should be learned, and what categories should be explained clearly in different categories. How the above team leads troops, how to command operations, how the squad trains to fight, and even the capital, camp, brigade, and division to the army are all different. There is a saying that I remember the most clearly, with the battalion as the division, one practice method, and one practice method above the battalion, and the other practice method. There is a big difference in learning between the two. It is better for Your Majesty to designate officials and organize these books first, and compile the imperial army with half the effort."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen nodded to Zeng Gongliang: "Nehan compiled the "Martial Jing Zongyao" with Gong Ding a few years ago. The military affairs were well known in detail, which was beyond the comparison of others. The matter was chaired by the Privy Council, and the two Privy Council participated, and the other officials were selected to clarify them together."

Han Qi said: "I obey the order! Please ask Zeng Gongliang and Yang Ting to participate, and the rest of the officials will be drafted later!"

Di Qing held the scepter while holding the scepter: "I obey the order. I am all just as Taiwei Han said."

Zhao Zhen sighed in his heart. Di Qing was originally the most optimistic general, but once Hequ Road won and the new military system came out, Di Qing obviously could not keep up with the situation. The most important thing in the Hequ Road Army was not muskets and cannons, but professionalism, and generals must have special knowledge. Zeng Gongliang saw the difference between the Hequ Road Army and the imperial guards. The above battalion commander was a special commander, and the most needed cultural learning expertise. As Di Qing said, let them compile and train them separately and let the instructor teach them how to use guns and cannons, isn’t they treat them as soldiers? When learning knowledge, many of these generals don’t know the word "man" so how do you learn it?

It is said that it was the head of the Privy Council, and the two Privy Councilors were the leader, but in fact it was Han Qi, and Di Qing obviously could not keep up with the rhythm.

Han Qi also said: "On the day, I read the booklets for the military learning and drills. Although the time was too short and I didn't know it deeply, I knew that the content was very practical. On that day, Du Jing briefly stated that these booklets were drafted and revised together during the training process. It was too simple. In the future, if there were too many wars, I should revise them. Zeng Gongliang once compiled the "Martial Jing Zongyao". I asked him to select people and organize these booklets first."

"This is an urgent task." Zhao Zhen turned to Zeng Gongliang, "Where do you think the right person to choose?"

Zeng Gongliang thought for a while and said, "I think that officials who have no duty in the museum can participate, and then select people from Hequ Road."

Why not select people from the Imperial Army generals? Many people are illiterate, so what are they choosing? This time, in addition to low-level generals, there will be many senior Imperial Army generals who are eliminated because they cannot learn new knowledge. The first thing Zhao Zhen had a headache about is how to make the eliminated people not feel resentful and how to let the selected officials know that they are eligible.

Zhao Zhen said: "Okay, let's follow what you said. In addition, the reorganization of the booklet is also a study. The palace examination has passed, and the Privy Council can order all those who fail the undergraduate degree to submit their letters and participate in this matter. If you do well, you can be incorporated into the army as a general."

Zeng Gongliang held the scepter and followed the order.

Zhao Zhen also said: "When training in Suizhou, the most important thing for the Yingtianxiang Army is to study. The soldiers are mainly trained, learn as the supplement, and generals are mainly learning as the main force, and training as the supplement. With the greatness of the world, it is difficult for the court to do this, so a specialized school should be set up. Artillery is the most difficult, and what is learned is extremely complicated, and only smart people cannot do this. You can order Yao Shouxin from Hequ Road to return to Beijing and set up a specialized school. Those who enter the school mainly lose the title. Those who fail in the past can also hold the guarantee of the chief official in the state and come to Beijing to enroll. Those who have completed the education, the low-level ones are the utility, and the high-level ones are the generals. Cavalry is second, and you can order Wu Song from Hequ Road to Beijing to recruit this matter, just like artillery set up a school. Those who choose knights and have good writing from the imperial guards to enroll, and become generals. A few years later, after the imperial guards are completed, these schools can recruit people from the world and pass the test."

"Infantry is different from artillery and cavalry. The soldiers are required to be simple and obedient. The officers have special knowledge and need to be independent. Yang Ting can take this matter and Dou Shunqing from Hequ Road assists him. First, teach low-level officers knowledge, and those who have completed their studies will be effective. Students can be selected from the imperial guards, and after they have completed their studies, they will be officers such as generals. Second, they will teach senior officers knowledge. Any commander and above in the imperial guards and above and all the squads must take turns to study in the school and teach military positions after they have completed their studies. If they cannot be completed, there will be other appointments."

The ministers followed the order together. It was obvious that this was the content of Du Zhongxiao's memorial. Others really couldn't explain it clearly. Zhao Zhen himself said it. Artillery is a technical army, and the most important thing is to learn knowledge, mainly for failing the exam. They are the most knowledgeable people. With Yao Shouxin's example, he will not be treated like other troops, have good treatment, high status, and are still very attractive. Cavalry and infantry are the same as Suizhou.

How can I do it like Du Zhongxiao did when he was in Suizhou? Each army selected his own people and learned by himself. After a military was trained, it became one of his own. There were no warlords everywhere. Du Zhongxiao paid great attention to avoiding suspicion, and no one dared to believe him. The situation was awkward, and others could not do it. He could only set up a military academies and allocate their destinations after he was completed to avoid the warlordization of the army.

The transfer of Yao Shouxin, Shisanlang and Dou Shunqing into Beijing was a test, and it was a test to see Du Zhongxiao's reaction. If Du Zhongxiao accepted it calmly, Zhao Zhen would have to make big moves on the troops on Hequ Road. If he didn't erase the label of Du Zhongxiao of that army, he would not be able to sleep as the emperor.

Cavalry and infantry students are actually divided into two levels. Those who come from low-level are utility. Students are equivalent to non-commissioned officers in later generations, and senior academic talents are officers. These schools do not include commanders above the battalion. Middle and senior officers pay equal attention to learning and actual combat, and do not include this.

In Du Zhongxiao's memorial, the setting of military academy is actually an irrelevant content, and Zhao Zhen doesn't mind saying it directly. However, the most complicated thing is that a large number of officers will face the embarrassing situation of having no position in the new army and need a new position. Otherwise, it would be a big turmoil. Du Zhongxiao's suggestion that if the military academy is run, then some specialized schools for industrial and commercial schools will be organized by the way, and the railways, camps, transportation, etc. will be organized into specialized corpses, and the officers and soldiers who were eliminated this time will be eliminated. Once the military academy is run, these schools will be run together, and personnel will inevitably be short of. Another result is that the status of technical personnel in the railway supervision and other places will be increased, and the government affairs hall needs to withdraw specialized officials as if the military system is changed.

The most core content of the memorial was also the reason why Zhao Zhen stayed at the Central Committee and the Three Yas. Under the new military system, how should the two reform, position themselves, and their mutual status involve the political structure of the court. After the reform, the army formed a military bureaucratic system, and the previous structure was completely broken. How to cooperate with the Three Yas and how to restrain it is related to the overall political affairs.
