When he arrived at the official hall of the military camp here, Zhang Kang, who was in charge of this place, received the news and rushed over.

After sitting down, Xu Ping looked at Han Qi and said to Zhang Kang: "Han Jingluo was recently in Jingyuan Road. There were few major generals and lacked generals. When the autumn was over, there would inevitably be many difficulties. Taking advantage of the past two days, he would go to the recruit camp to take a look. After returning to Jingyuan Road, he would not be confused about military affairs and would not know where to start."

Zhang Kang looked at Han Qi and saw that he had a calm face, he probably guessed Han Qi's thoughts in his heart. Zhang Kang was also a Jinshi. Although he had transferred his military position, he still had friendship with civil officials of the same year. He was familiar with the debate about the Qinzhou military system in the court. Moreover, Zhang Kang himself disagreed with Xu Ping's military reform at the beginning. He was just a subordinate, and he understood and implemented it, but he did not understand it. It was not until the last two major victories that he turned around and looked at the military reform again, and he had a different view.

After thinking about it, Zhang Kang said, "If you want to make Han Jinglei familiar with military affairs, it is better to stay in the generals and school camp there for two days. This is the training of new recruits. What does the generals and school officials seem to be of great use? Generals and school are the foundation of the army. Han Jinglei will see what they learn on weekdays and how to do things."

Xu Ping nodded: "That's right, the soldiers are trained and cannot be done urgently. When you look at the school camp, you will have a general idea of ​​military affairs and your work will be organized in the future. So, Zhigui, it is not a day or two, and you will live in the school camp for two days. You have been in office for more than ten years and have never been in charge of military affairs. When you go there, you will be good for you to manage the army on the Jingyuan Road. In the past, many generals in the imperial guards could not read the text and dictate the words, and they had to rely on officials for daily affairs. However, civil officials were in charge of military affairs, but they did not do so.

If you are familiar with it, you will still be tricked by the generals under your subordinates. Speaking of which, many people are in charge of military affairs, and they are gathered together. Serious governance is more difficult than civil affairs. For such a difficult matter, you must require the generals who command the army to not only know the military affairs, but also know the civil affairs. Only when civil and military affairs are involved can we cure the army well. I hereby require all generals and officers to concentrate on learning, and everyone must know the words of literature and stats, be able to shoot arrows, and know how to march and fight. The same should be true for civil officials to command the army. It is appropriate to go to the general camp to study for a few days."

Han Qi was unwilling to go. According to Xu Ping, how easy is it for the generals who commanded the army to be allowed to be civil and military? Since elementary school, I have been reading and writing, and the classics of saints. How can the hand who is used to holding a pen be able to drive a bow? This is even more so for military generals. They are used to being swords and guns, and letting them pick up awls to write is more difficult than letting civil officials draw a bow. What is the meaning of such a difficult thing to do? The commander of a army knows how to dispatch troops and generals, and does it take him to kill the enemy if he needs to go into battle.

Seeing Han Qi silent, Xu Ping said again: "When Yizu was there, he said that he wanted all the martial artists in the world to study. Of course, Yizu also said that he wanted all the civil officials to know about martial arts. He was wise and divine martial arts like Yizu. He joined the army since he was a child and fought countless wars. This should not be said casually. At that time, the world was not determined, and it was troublesome to do it. Now the world has been peaceful for a long time, and there are many civil officials and military generals, so it would not be so difficult to do it again."

Seeing that Xu Ping brought out Taizu's words, Han Qi was so lucky that he would say anything else? He bowed and said, "What the wise man said is, I'm sure to be taught!"

Xu Ping nodded: "By the way, now Li Zhang is in charge of the marching and combat in the general camp, so Zhigui will stay with Li Zhang for two days. Let's have a rough understanding of it so that he won't be confused in the future."

Han Qi had no expression on his face and bowed his hands to agree.

Looking at Han Qi's expression, Xu Ping suddenly felt a little disappointed. According to the rules at this time, he also controlled the troops of Jingyuan Road. In fact, he didn't need to pay too much attention. As long as it was time to war, he would give them the military orders for marching and fighting. If the military order was completed, he would naturally be rewarded, and if he could not complete it, he would be punished. Why should he talk to Han Qi with all his heart? After all, he still had no confidence in the current imperial guards and was worried that when the battle was time, they would mess up the situation of their hard-working management. Another thing was that Han Qi was his same year and really wanted to help him. But looking at Han Qi's appearance, he obviously felt that this was an unnecessary move. Xu Ping would leave him here for two days, and maybe he was still unhappy.

I have to worry about it and make others difficult, but who are you working hard for and who are you busy for?

The generals and school camps are specially trained for officers. The first is the original generals and school, and the other ones selected excellent ones from the strokes who made meritorious service in peacetime and during wartime, and came here to train. Only those who pass will be promoted. If they fail the assessment at their own level, they will be assigned to the wing army or nearby fortresses for patrol and remove from the field group. Xu Ping is not harsh. Unless he makes a big mistake, he will not punish his subordinates at all, and he will not easily get rid of his official position. If he is not suitable here, he can change his place to be able to do it. If he really doesn't work, he can be transferred to military officers from prefectures and counties.

Xu Ping repeatedly emphasized to his subordinates that marching and fighting is a government affairs that is more complicated than local affairs, and generals and school commanders naturally require more skills. Reading and literacy is necessary. Even military orders are required to be read to others. The documents need to be written by others, and they only know how to draw mocks and press their handprints. There are no such generals and school in the army. Jia Kui, who was transferred to Gaodaquan's army, could not read a large word, but now he can write a similar military newspaper. Although his literary talent is not enough, he can at least explain one thing clearly. This is the most basic requirement in Xu Ping's army. If he cannot do this, he will not be able to get a chance with the officer. No matter how many military achievements he has made, he will only get more rewards and will not be promoted.

In more than a year, the Five Armies have basically met this basic requirement. Some of them were eliminated from the army because they really couldn't learn it and were replaced by military positions in various fortresses in Qinzhou. Many of them, after being eliminated from the army, continued to study and returned to the army. With such a team of officers, the discussion of combat plans, and the various systems in the army have been widely adopted, they have a foundation. As a regular army of the imperial court, it is impossible to follow the illiterate foreign army.

Similarly, before the war, they recruited chiefs and sat in a circle to discuss how to fight. The court also had officials who wrote down the practice of the foreign army in an almost identical manner and wrote a letter to the court, believing that it was one of the reasons why they were good at fighting. However, they did not know that formal combat was originally required. Not only did officers at all levels discuss it, but they also wrote it in words and summarized it in front of the commanders. The issuance of military orders is a very serious matter. It must be widely accepted, and the army will undoubtedly discuss it, and the top and bottom can make decisions together.

After chatting for a while, Xu Ping stood up and called Han Qi to walk around the military camp.

It was noon and the army began to have dinner, and Wang Kai was instructing the preparation of the banquet.

The daily meals in the military camp are very simple. According to Xu Ping's requirements, each person will have a large bowl of broth, a large bowl of rice or two large steamed buns, and a large bowl of vegetables at noon. The cattle and sheep are cheap here in the northwest. The army is slaughtered every day. The officers eat meat, and the remaining bones are boiled for the soldiers to drink. Anyway, if there are too many people, they will release more water. If there are too many people, they will drink thicker, so they are not afraid of not being enough.

Watching the soldiers coming and going to pick up food and serve soup, Xu Ping said to Han Qi: "Zhigui, there is a saying that I often say in the army, and now I will tell you. Marines and wars are more difficult than local government affairs, and it must not be simple. How do local government affairs be done? For example, to build a bridge, officials will first lead people to investigate, estimate the money, grain, manpower and time spent, and then organize them step by step. In the end, the fewer ones are hundreds, the most are tens of thousands, and even hundreds of thousands of people do things together. The matters in the meantime depend on the problems, how many officials and the people are involved in it. The same is true for marching and war. Before the war, planning and commanding before the war are not known how much more than building bridges and roads. As the commander of the army, we do not need to know how these things are done. If the manpower is exhausted, it is impossible to be proficient in everything, but at least we need to know what to do. Isn't it?"
