After Xu Ping finished speaking, he looked at Gao Daquan and Jingtai and said, "What do you think about this?"

Jingtai thought for a while and said with a wry smile: "I don't hide it from the truth, but the official thinks that this matter is not easy."

"Of course it's not easy! Thinking about the benefits of everything, thinking about tens of tens of them, and being able to achieve six or seven points, you should be very satisfied."

Of course, Xu Ping would not think that if he said something, he would write a few slogans, things would be done. If it was so simple, he could be a famous general. But the same thing was said, as long as you don’t rely on a sudden idea in everything, but are willing to bury your body and do it steadily, things will always develop in a good direction. As long as you keep persevering, maybe one day, you turn around and look at it, and the things you thought were difficult at that time would really be achieved in the sweat you worked hard.

The military system must be reformed. If it fails to change it in a month, it will take one year. If it fails to do so, it will take three years. If it cannot be completed before the war, then it will be changed at the same time. If the military system is not changed, even if it is lucky enough to win, the future generations will still face the same dilemma.

In this era, it was not that no one realized that the current military system of the imperial guards was not suitable for war. In fact, before the war in the northwest began, Xia Shu took ten strategies, and a few of them involved the ineffective combat of the Eastern Army.

However, it is one thing to realize that it is not possible. There are more people who can give advice and talk big. It is another thing to know how to change it after realizing that it is not possible. The countermeasures proposed by Xia Shu are nothing more than the old tune. Generals should be authoritarian, and the northwest use less imperial guards in the capital, but more recruited from the local area. Locals are familiar with geographical and human relations, and their families are there. They know how to fight and have the initiative to fight. Of course, there is another greater advantage. The local recruitment of imperial guards is much cheaper, which can greatly reduce financial pressure. The salary of imperial guards in the capital is high, and after moving to the northwest, there is naturally a high cost.

After knowing how to make changes, there are very few people who are willing to work hard. The most common problem for scholars to talk about war is that they think that it is a great thing to come up with ideas. He is the smartest in the world. As long as others get a guide, they will be invincible from now on. But they don’t know that things are done after all, not with their mouths. The most in the world is the people who come up with ideas. Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang because the scholar reads a few more books and the ideas they come up with can quote scriptures and classics. It still has to be practiced, and practice proves that good ideas are good ideas.

Even with a thousand years of experience, Xu Ping may not have thought of what he wanted to do. The thing he was better than others was his willingness to do it steadily. As long as he knew it, the facts proved, he would be indomitable.

The practice of military reform is nothing more than war. As long as you win a few big victories, all kinds of noises should disappear. However, before this, what is needed is that the leaders in the army must unite closely, agree with Xu Ping's ideas, and work hard to implement the combat effectiveness brought by military system reform. Military reform is not the goal, but the goal is to improve combat effectiveness.

Gao Daquan said: "Jing Zheng said everything makes sense, but the most difficult thing now is that there are not many people who can read in the army. The things arranged by Ji Zheng mostly require soldiers to read and write, and where can they do it in a hurry? Another thing, the newly recruited Wu Ju and others can only be arranged to go to Du level, that is, it is difficult to say that the soldiers are not convinced by the soldiers. Also, if they have these people at Du level, what should they do if the command is lacking above? What should they do if the army is lacking at the top? Although there are deputy commanders in the army now, the subordinates are still lacking, where do these people come from?"

Jingtai agreed with what Gao Daquan said, and even Li Zhang nodded repeatedly. Establishing a functional organization will not fall from the sky, and there is no place to adjust other places. It takes time for oneself to cultivate, and it cannot be completed in a short time.

Xu Ping sighed: "Indeed, no one is available is a big problem. I have also been thinking about how to make up for the staff needed in the army these days. I originally started military reform in the capital, but now I should have a look, but unfortunately the time is wasted. People who are literate don't have to worry too much. Three people from the three companies have drawn Qin Fenglu, and there are many people who are literate among them, and they can recruit. Moreover, when I was in Xijing, when the company recruited people, they would teach people to recognize words. What books and how to teach them, they all have ready-made rules and can be used. Being able to understand military orders and understand the intentions of the supervisor does not require many words. As long as you learn a thousand words, you will be enough. According to the company's experience in teaching people to recognize words, as long as you have learned the teaching method, you can recognize hundreds of words in about half a year, keep accounts and settle accounts, and use them for daily applications. If you persist, you can read some simple books by yourself for about a year, understand letters, and learn by yourself."

When Xu Ping was in college in his previous life, a classmate in the same dormitory came from the Yimeng Mountains because he often called female classmates "literacy classes", which aroused Xu Ping's interest. After understanding it, he realized that during the Anti-Japanese War, the old Yimeng district had widely organized literacy campaigns for the masses, and those who went to learn to recognize words were called literacy classes. At that time, men went to the front line to fight against Japan, and most of the women were women in the back. The literacy classes were mainly women. The young local women studied the most seriously, had the best results, and persisted for the longest time. This name later became the name of the local unmarried woman's surname, which is a kind of historical relics.

Of course, the organizational strength of society today cannot be compared with that time. Even the army is not as good as the rural areas at that time. Even the villages were all elderly, weak, women and children at that time. But that kind of approach can still be learned, and the effect is worse than not. The companies under the Three Departments of Xijing were the first to literate the workers recruited. There is no way, and it is difficult to adapt to factory production without culture. Their experience at that time can be learned from the army now, and no soldiers are required to read books and newspapers. As long as a few hundred people can understand military orders and understand various policies, it is enough to support the military reform that Xu Ping is going to carry out now.

Sighing, Xu Ping said again: "In fact, the most difficult thing is that the lack of talents for all levels of staff. If you want to do these tasks well, it is not enough to be able to read and recognize words. You must be able to settle accounts, understand maps, calculate the distance and time of marching from the map, and many other skills are not simply learned from books. Even if you recruit literate people to the army, you must teach them, and you will not be able to teach them after teaching them. In this way, in ten days, you can choose loyal and reliable people from your army who can read and recognize words. As long as you can read and write, you don't need to

You have to read Confucian classics, and report to the General Mansion to the General Mansion. The General Mansion will draw out personnel to teach and select excellent supplementary positions from these people who have learned. They cannot suddenly reach a high position, and they will first make up for the missing positions in the name of power. At the beginning, the authority of these assistants cannot be given too high, mainly to do things within their own positions. When they do things slowly, those who can do their jobs will be promoted, and those who cannot do cannot be eliminated. When there is war, they will naturally be promoted according to their military merits. They will learn and practice while fighting, and change the army bit by bit during learning and fighting."

Without waiting for Gao Daquan and Jingtai to promise, Xu Ping said: "In addition, the commanders at all levels should also learn. According to this principle, one of the three people should be drawn, and the commanders will be uniformly coached by the commanders. The rest of the remaining ones are not drawn for the time being, and two hours a day will be taken to study specifically. The commanders will send people to teach. Those who stay in the middle school of the army will of course recognize words, and also learn military orders, imperial edicts, and what they need in daily life. They can no longer be like the previous imperial guards. The commanders do not recognize words, so how can they lead troops to fight? Some even have great generals who do not recognize words, but rely entirely on their subordinates, and something will happen. Yang Yanzhao, the former defense envoy of Baozhou, suffered a loss because they were illiterate. The daily military orders and government affairs depended on Zhou Zheng, the minor official, who was deceived by him. He did not forget the past and the subsequent affairs of the army. Such things will not be allowed to appear in our army in the future!"
