The easiest way to quickly form the organizational strength and cohesion of the team is undoubtedly to work and study. Work and study while learning, and be familiar with each other and cooperate with each other in work and study, and everyone turns from strangers to close comrades. This effect cannot be achieved through small etiquette and small favors, and small groups can never form the joint force of the entire team.

What Xu Ping really wanted to do was to train middle and lower-level officers in the form of a teaching team, but now there are even middle and senior officers in the army, and even instructors are missing, so the teaching team cannot organize them.

The proportion of officers and soldiers in the army should have a reasonable range. If it is too high, the financial pressure will be great, and the management will be chaotic. If it is too low, it will not be able to manage many things that should be managed. Both are equally harmful and have a significant impact on combat effectiveness.

The management methods of the imperial guards are only considered officers at the top level, but they are not qualified and can only be considered regular officers at the commander's level. The proportion of officers and soldiers has reached an astonishing level.

Later generations often talked about the "three redundant" of the Song Dynasty, generally speaking "redundant officials", "redundant soldiers", and "redundant expenses". In fact, the three redundant in this era was not like this. For example, the three redundant that Song Qi said was "no box office officials, wing army and monks and Taoists. The original meaning of the word "redundant" is first of all, and the second is more, and the most is secondary, and useless is harmful. The three redundant that Song Qi said was obviously truly grasping the original meaning of the word "redundant". Later generations always talked about the material from the perspective of "longundant", and they were already out of the topic and were confused.

At least in the era when Xu Ping lived, officials were far from being said to the proportion of officials and civilians, officials and soldiers, and the proportion of officials and soldiers. The harm was redundant, that is, there were too many people who did not manage the affairs. On the one hand, a large number of officials paid their salaries and did not do anything, and on the other hand, a large number of affairs were not managed by anyone, so they could only let them go or to the minor officials. This was a redundant official.

In the past, Xu Ping's solution to redundant officials was to add new positions in newly established economic institutions such as banks, sugar services, farms and companies, so that officials without boxes could do anything. Now for the army, this method is useless, because there are not many officials in the army, but too few. The salary distribution and logistics supply depend on local prefectures and county officials. In the capital, the three departments should also be ordered by the officers and soldiers, otherwise they would not even know where to take the food. Military training, organizational discipline, equipment maintenance, intelligence collection, etc., all matters that are critical to the army that are life-and-death, and they can't control them at all. They can only let them go. It is said that the discipline of the imperial guards is relaxed, they are not trained enough, and they cannot fight the battle. The board cannot only hit the commanders. They are not three heads and six arms, and one person can control the food, drink, defecation and ideological discipline of hundreds of people.

The biggest problem facing Xu Ping for this army was the lack of officers and extremely scarce. In his previous life, Xu Ping remembered that a great man said that the most precious thing about the army is cadres. As long as the skeleton of the cadre is still there, the army can be formed quickly. And the current imperial guards have been removed, which seems huge, but are actually powerless.

The selection and training of officials of the liaozuo officials is to add professional personnel to the army and supplement the functions that were missing before. The general training of low-level officers is to allow them to adapt to the new organizational structure and prepare for war. After the liaozuo officials enter the army, a large number of affairs are no longer left behind, and the role of commanding officers is no longer to maintain the team, but to learn to fight, especially to fight big wars. What the imperial guards lack most now is the ability to fight big wars.

There were many foreign lands under Qinzhou, and the situation was complicated, but since the founding of the country, it has maintained a good situation. Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, the court has always firmly controlled the situation. Of course, there are many reasons, but the most important point is that although there are many foreign lands under the rule, they all act independently. Even if there is a rebellion, it is also a small-scale battle. Small-scale battles are the best for the imperial guards. Facing the small-scale battles under Qinzhou, they have almost never been defeated in decades. Compared with the imperial guards facing Dangxiang, they are almost two worlds. It is not that the army has different combat power, but that they face different enemies.

If Xu Ping wants to explore the outside world, it is not possible to rely solely on small-scale battles. He must have the ability to fight big battles. If he still follows the previous organizational structure, no matter how much effort Xu Ping puts in, it will be difficult to meet this requirement.

War is a highly complex action that has high requirements for the participants' organizational ability and discipline. Scientific decision-making is based on a large amount of intelligence collection and experience accumulation, rather than a sudden idea after reading military books. To complete such a complex injury, a large number of professional talents will inevitably be involved. This is why Xu Ping wants to add to the army.

Xu Ping thoughtfully to the generals under his command, but how could the change of concepts be so easy? Although they firmly implemented Xu Ping's order, they still didn't understand it very much, and even disagreed. If they supplemented the officers, they would have to pay more money. Isn't it better to have this money to recruit more soldiers? But they didn't know that if they could not achieve the command ability, no matter how many soldiers they recruit, it would be useless. Useless soldiers are redundant soldiers. Not only is it useless, but it is harmful.

Look at Gao Daquan, then Jingtai, Xu Ping said: "Since you arrived in Qinzhou, you have been in the military camp, and you may feel a little bored. Let me tell you, don't have this idea, you must endure the loneliness of this period. The most important thing is that from you to everyone in the army, you must know what to do now. Staying in the military camp now is not nothing to do, on the contrary, there are too many things to do, and a few months are not enough, and time is not enough!"

Gao Daquan said: "Jiang Zheng said this very much. Nowadays, there are many people in the army who think so. From the capital to here, they have traveled thousands of miles away. They have gone through so much hardships in the operation and abandoned their wives and children. They all think that they want to advance wars here. As a result, after arriving at the place, they have been in the military camp. In addition to practicing archery and horse arrays, they are building houses and learning to read, which has nothing to do with the war. If this continues, the morale of the army will inevitably fluctuate."

Xu Ping said to Jingtai: "Zhou Qing, you are the deputy commander. I once made it clear that the deputy commander in the army no longer only does the backup of the commander as before. Everything is decided by the military leader alone. All the money, food, discipline, people's hearts and even military achievements, promotions, rewards, etc. in the army must participate, especially the first few items, which must be controlled by the deputy commander. People's hearts are unstable, which is exactly what you should take care of. Why should the supplementary assistants be able to read and read? It is because they can understand military orders and know the truth of people's hearts well. The subordinate generals and soldiers have doubts about what they are going to do now, so you have to organize people to explain it clearly to them."

Jingtai hesitated for a moment before saying, "I will remember what Jieshuai said, but how do you want to talk about it? This is a bit difficult to do."

"Do you think it's hard to do? It's okay, after a few days, there are some clues on the side of the Sang Deployment. Go and see how they do it. For example, when I entered the military camp, there were many wooden boards on the side of the road, with some words and sentences written on it. So, do people in the army, including the grooms and kids, know what the words and meaning are written on it? Why do you write these? What do you want to learn when you see it? Have you organized people to preach? This is the simplest thing. To be more complicated, do you organize people to do military laws and military laws?

Discuss to generals and soldiers at all levels? Can they understand the words of military law? Do they know what it means? Do they know what things should be done in the army and what things should not be done? Do they know what things should be rewarded and what things should be punished? You see, it’s not that there is no thing to do, but that there are too many things to do and that they can’t do it at all. Therefore, there are still too few generals and generals in the army, and they can only waste many things they should do. These things seem to be insignificant, but in fact the military combat power is gone little by little."
