Chapter 21 Old Man
In Qinzhou, Cao Cong deployed and recruited recruits along the border, without the management and comforting envoys. The establishment of the office was very different from that of Xu Ping. The establishment of the office was very different from that of Xu Ping. The establishment of the office of this route had greatly changed the organizational settings from before, and the establishment of the commander-in-chief's office was also expanded.
Before we knew it, it had been a month since Xu Ping arrived in Qinzhou. The northwest was later than the Central Plains. At this time, flowers were competing for beauty and peaches and plums were fragrant. When we first arrived, the nearby hills were still yellow and mixed with spots of green, and it was already green at this time.
On this day, the reconstruction of the General's Mansion was completed, and Xu Ping brought a group of subordinates to the new official office.
Qinzhou was the Jiedu Prefecture. Xu Ping's General's Office was officially established, including the General's Office, the Pacification Envoy, the General's Office, the General's Office and the Observation Envoy, which were called the Five Divisions of the General's Office, and followed the old system of the Tang Dynasty. The official officials of Jiedu and Observation had actually become officials of the Provincial Government, with only false names and their powers being incorporated into the other three departments, so the only ones in charge of the Five Divisions were actually in charge of the Three Divisions.
Xu Ping was nominally the deputy envoy of Shaanxi Road, and was just a branch in Qinfeng Road. Therefore, there were no deputy positions in the General Office and the Pacification Department. Only Sang Yi served as a deputy position in the department and was divided into departments. Xu Ping set up departments to be responsible for specific duties.
Jiyishu is in charge of information, and the transactions with neighboring foreign countries and the management of confidential documents with the court are handled by Jiyi Li Zhang. This is the most important department of the General Administration. All the secrets are here, and the general officials must use their own trusted institutions.
The Counselor Military Department, under the supervision of Qinzhou, is also in charge of the daily training of the army, the transfer and deployment of the army, the formulation of combat plans and the issuance of combat orders, and various affairs related to military operations. This is actually the headquarters of the Qinfeng Road garrison. As Xu Ping's military assistant, Wang Kai is directly responsible to Xu Ping, and is executing Xu Ping's will.
The reward and meritorious service is also in charge of the Qinzhou Tongzong Zhong Shiheng, who is responsible for the reward and punishment of Qinfeng Road military soldiers.
The Military Law Department is also in charge of Gan Zhaoji, the chief supervisor of Qinzhou, who is about to take office. The rewards are aimed at matters that do not involve violations of military laws and laws. If military laws are involved, the Military Law Department will be dealt with. Gan Zhaoji was transferred to Qinzhou by the inspectors of Ying and Shaozhou. As an eunuch, although he was named the Chief Supervisor, the imperial decree did not say what matters in the army were in charge of Qinzhou. In fact, he was the real military supervisor in Qinzhou. Xu Ping simply asked him to manage military laws, and the military supervisor would look like a military supervisor. The matter was put on the surface, so that everyone could suspect each other in private.
The Money, Grain and Package Department is also in charge of Wang Gongchen, the transfer commissioner of Qinfeng Road, and is responsible for the production, collection, transportation of military supplies.
The stimulus department was in charge of Tian Kuang, the judge of the sturdy department, and Liu San became deputy, responsible for inspiring the military's combat morale, daily entertainment, writing letters for soldiers, and other miscellaneous matters.
There is also a personal military officer, which is under the responsibility of Tan Hu. The responsibility is very simple, which is to ensure the safety of the generals' office. This is Xu Ping's privilege as a military governor, which is brought by his official position, not by his dispatch. After entering the Song Dynasty, given that the generals in the late Tang and Five Dynasties often chose brave and strong soldiers as the fangs, and followed him around and tried every means to attract them, causing endless troubles, Song Taizu strictly forbidden the generals of the army to place the fangs around him. In other words, the current generals are not protected by personal soldiers on the battlefield.
Because of this, when the war started with Dangxiang, the main general was killed and captured many times. If the general wanted to emerge in the war, he must be able to fight, otherwise he might have lost his life. During the Qingli period in history, Han Qi saw that this situation was too outrageous and suggested that the generals choose their own soldiers according to their level before they could change. At this time, the war had just begun and had not yet gone through a big battle. Xu Ping felt that it was wrong and could not make any suggestions to modify it. He had to fight and suffered several losses before someone could listen.
These duties cannot be said to be missing from the generals along the border, but their responsibilities are unclear and relatively chaotic. Xu Ping only organized the affairs of the generals and responsibilities were dedicated to special personnel. There are only so many things in the military training and war. In the major aspects, there are roughly different between ancient and modern times, and the difference is only the degree of professionalization and institutionalization.
If you encounter a combat plan and command of a war, the plan is not at all. The commanders and supervisors along the border often do not belong to each other. Whenever a spy comes to report the enemy's attack, they will rush over with people, fearing that they will be accused of being cowardly and not fighting. After a moment, so many people go out, but there is no plan. If you rush over, the enemy will disappear. Everyone is just busy. If you are caught, you will fight alone and be surrounded by the enemy's superior forces.
The same is true for logistics supplies. The transfer officers of the army transported money and goods to the commanders of the various garrisons and the supervisors, and they arranged the matter themselves. Without coordination or dispatch, it was a mess.
There are many people in the Shuaisi, but they are often just those who are held accountable afterwards, and the combat plan and command are basically inconsistent. As the same goes, the Song army did not have the ability to fight a big battle in terms of system and organizational structure. The battles that a chief officer and the chief supervisor can face can still be fought in a similar way. Once multiple armies are involved in coordination, no one can know what the outcome will be.
This time when we arrived at Qinfeng Road, Zhao Zhen gave Xu Ping a lot of power to act, including limited changes in the military system and the General Secretary’s organizational system. As long as the organizational structure and personnel arrangements are reported later, the Privy Council and the Political Affairs Hall will not interfere.
As for Sang Yi's Xuanwei Army and Gao Daquan's Guiming Shenwu Army, they were mobile troops directly under the command of the General Administration, and they also set up corresponding institutions to connect with the various departments of the General Administration. As commanders, they did not work part-time in the General Administration, nor could they work part-time here.
After sitting in the case of his new chief office, a group of bureaucrats carried out rituals. Xu Ping said a few ritually, and asked them to return to their own official office to get familiar with the new environment and their new subordinates.
Everyone left, Xu Ping picked up the official document on the desk and took a casual look. Putting it down, Xu Ping suddenly picked it up again, opened it and looked carefully, and couldn't help laughing.
A few days ago, he submitted a memorial to the court that in order to ensure the safety of Qishan Road from Sichuan to Longxi, he hoped that the court would send one person to serve as the inspector of Feng, Cheng and Jie. This official document was to reply to Xu Ping's request. The candidate had been decided, and he would go to Qinzhou to visit Xu Ping soon. What surprised Xu Ping was that this time he sent was an acquaintance, Zhao Zi, the right attendant in the imperial guards.
Xu Ping was still brewing wine in Zhongmu. This guy often went to his wine shop and had a little unhappy with him. However, although this guy was a little arrogant and pretty good. He was cold with Xu Ping, he had a good relationship with Sang Yi and Gao Daquan.
When Xu Ping met Zhao Zi, he was appointed as a rank shortly after his father died in battle. He was only in the third rank. After more than ten years, he was promoted to the right attendant and promoted to the third rank. The military ministers were investigated every five years, and they were promoted to the next level without any mistakes. It seems that he has been promoted in the past few years without any mistakes and has been promoted according to the conventional procedures. However, when they met at the Xu family wine shop in Baisha Town, Zhao Zi was already a small officer, and Xu Ping was still white and looked down on Xu Ping. More than ten years have passed, Xu Ping has become a military governor, a commander along the way, and Zhao Zi’s young envoy has not yet climbed up. The status of both sides is far different.
After reading the official documents in his hand carefully, Xu Ping smiled and shook his head. The past in Zhongmuzhuang more than ten years ago came to his heart, as if it had happened yesterday. In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed.
At this time, Xu Ping had already established a festival and reached the peak of the military minister. It was far from Zhao Zi's status. The unhappiness of the past was no longer meaningless. I just don't know what Zhao Zi would think, to be able to face Xu Ping now.
