In the back garden of the Daming Palace, Zhao Zhen set up a banquet and invited Xu Ping and Ming Hao to drink with several officers from the northwest.

When Xu Ping was training the army in the northwest, many middle and lower-level officers were selected by Zhao Zhen from the palace. After several years of training in the northwest, Zhao Zhen now trained the Hebei imperial guards, and Zhao Zhen transferred another group of people back. This is the aura of the newly formed imperial guards. With this aura and the enriched system, the transformation of the old imperial guards in Hebei was finally completed.

Zhao Zhen sent two most important generals to the northwest, Xu Qian and Wang Kui, both returned. Xu Qian had been designated as the commander of the Yunjie Army, and Wang Kui was designated as the commander of the Yunyi Army. The two commanders of the two armies completed the reorganization first.

The Yunjie Army used Daming Prefecture as its base, and the commanders previously distributed in several prefectures in Hebei were either transferred back to Daming Prefecture, or changed their numbers and were reorganized. The Yunyi Army also began to gather and reorganize it with Cizhou and Mingzhou as its bases.

Xu Ping did not participate in the reorganization of the imperial guards, and Zhao Zhen himself took charge of it. With Wang Kai and Li Zhang, the organization and system were basically based on the training methods of the Longyou Army that year. The Yunjie Army stationed in Daming Prefecture was temporarily designated as Zhao Zhen's escort army, and Wang Xuezhai served as deputy commander, which was considered a personal army. The 100,000 imperial guards brought out of Kaifeng Prefecture were sent to the front-line states, and most of them were reorganized into the Yunjie and Yunyi armies.

When the Hebei Road Imperial Army was reorganized, there were many officials who needed to be reorganized, and many civil officials asked to change their posts to join the army. With several civil officials from the Longyou Army who changed their posts to military affairs as examples, the meaning of changing their posts to military affairs was different from before. Hebei Road was the front line of fighting with the Khitan. In the war, the military achievements were much greater than those in the northwest, and there were quite a few officials who were keen on this matter.

At this time, there was also a Jinshi Wang Kui, a third year in Tianxi. He had already decided to change his military position and was about to go to Daming Mansion to participate in the general training of Zhongzuosi. Xu Ping didn't know why he liked to use the word Kui in this era. There were many names, and there were several Wang Kui. Others such as Jia Kui and Li Kui, and there were many in the army. Or because of the word "在" that can make up for the shortcomings of the five elements? According to the current habit, when there is a duplicate name, it is very troublesome to distinguish the name of the state first, and then use the father and grandfather to divide the same state. Xu Ping thought about whether to add the number when he sorted out the household registration again, just like the ID number in his previous life.

After drinking a few tours of wine, Zhao Zhen said: "According to the Longyou Army system, I have been unable to control how the three yamen will deal with after the training of the imperial guards. If you have nothing to do with the left and right, it is better to discuss it. How to deal with the three yamen is the best."

The reorganized army is integrated with infantry and cavalry, and is also equipped with auxiliary troops such as transportation, bridges, equipment, and medical care. It is a complete field group. The hall has infantry and cavalry, and there is no problem with the subordinates. The Cavalry and Infantry Division are no longer able to do it, and there is no absolute infantry and cavalry division. The new management system of the three imperial guards is difficult to adapt and must be changed. It is not appropriate to abolish the three imperial guards and all the imperial guards under the Privy Council. Without checks and balances, the military and political orders must be separated.

Ming Hao said: "The three yamen should not be abandoned, but they can't be like this now. The Ma Jun and the Infantry Department are easier to handle. It is possible to manage military weapons and train troops, but the Palace Front Office is a little troublesome."

Wang Kai said: "It is better to put the troops stationed in the four capitals under the Palace Front Division? Just like the imperial guards in Beijing now."

Zhao Zhen shook his head: "Why should the army change? After the reform, each army formed its own unity and was under the jurisdiction of the court. It was not a war camp or a magistrate's palace, but there was only a Privy Council above the army, so how could it be set up a yamen? If the matters under the Palace Front Office were to be taken into consideration again."

The Five Dynasties were integrated with military, political and military orders. Zhou Shizong set up the commander and inspector of the front hall. One was to select elite soldiers and generals to strengthen the combat power of the main force of the imperial guards, and the other was to put military power under his own control. The Song Dynasty continued this system and also continued this process of concentrated military power. For decades, the Palace Front Office has continuously collected the military power of elite troops from the Guards' Personal Army.

With the strengthening of the military power of the Privy Council, the imperial guards were reorganized into field groups, and the status of the Sanya would inevitably be embarrassing. In history, the regular army of the Southern Song Dynasty became the main army of garrisons, and the Sanya would be in name only, just one of a few large armies. According to Xu Ping's plan for the military system, the Sanya should become a affairs yamen, in charge of military affairs. The Ma Junsi and the Infantry yamen have specific military affairs to manage. The Palace Front Office, the yamen where the emperor seized the power of the Guards and the Personal Military Office, could not find the direction.

After discussing for a while, Xu Ping said: "If this is not the case, the Lieutenant General of the Army is from Zhongzuo, and Your Majesty personally takes charge. What about the newly recruited soldiers in the army? According to the current system, all new recruits who have entered the army should have half a year of training and can be under the Palace Front Office."

The new military system must completely remove the influence of old feudal habits, break up the groups of families, clans, and village parties in the army, and break the bad habits of soldiers and generals. Zhongzuo Shi trained military officers in order to prevent generals from going out in the future. Then there should be a yamen, and the Hall Front Office is suitable. As the affairs office that is responsible for military affairs, the Cavalry Office is in charge of cavalry, the Infantry Office is in charge of infantry, and the Hall Front Office is in charge of new recruits. Like Zhongzuo Shi, the Hall Front Office is in charge of the emperor's personal guard, which is in line with the principle that military power belongs to the emperor. The Privy Council party and military power, but the power of personnel in the army is tilted towards the emperor, which is also a balance.

Several people discussed for a while and felt that what Xu Ping said was feasible, so that the three yamen completed the function transformation.

Xu Qian said: "Young Master, it's just not clear at all. If the new soldiers in the frontier of the Palace will be in charge of the army, will the new soldiers from all over the country come to Kaifeng Prefecture? In the past, it was not easy to recruit soldiers from the border three routes and the capital. Now, how can we recruit soldiers from all over the country? We can't let the new soldiers be divided into the world, which will be a lot of inconvenience."

Xu Ping said: "It is naturally inconvenient to divide the world into several states, so it is still unhindered. Choose a few major states in the world, and let the front office of the hall set up a yamen, and coach the new recruits are the ones. The instructors of each department rotate according to year, which is also convenient for understanding the geographical and people's conditions."

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and nodded, "It's okay to do this. Not only the Palace Front Office, but also the Ma Jun Office and the Infantry Office want to take charge of the military and political affairs of the world, but also have to set up yamen in the Dazhou, otherwise how can we manage it?"

After thinking about it, this is indeed a solution, especially when it is related to the administrative settings of roads and prefectures, it is clearer. Each army is equivalent to a state with real power, while the dispatched agencies of the three yamen are similar to the route-level supervisory department and implement comprehensive management of sections.

Wang Kai said: "In this way, the Military and Justice Department can also set up yamen outside, just like the three yamen."

Zhao Zhen nodded repeatedly, the Military and Justice Department is more important than the Three Yas. For the court, whether it is controlling the local area or the army, supervision is more important than administration. In order to improve administrative efficiency, it is necessary to delegate power in administration. Once power is delegated, it is easy to lose control. At this time, supervision is crucial. A strong supervision system is the guarantee of administrative delegation. Delegation without strict supervision is to dig a grave. The Privy Council realizes control of each army through the functional management of the military and the military and legal system. Through the direct management of the military and political affairs, and the supervision of the Military and Justice Department, the three Yas jointly form the court's management of each army.

People often say that people do not doubt when employing people, and people do not doubt when using them. That is for personnel. In terms of system, it is important to check and balance each other and prevent disadvantages. Personnel cannot be confused with the system, and personnel must obey the system. The checks and balances of the system are not for decentralization of power, nor for weakening the power of the ruling party, but for preventing disadvantages. Only when the system is complete can there be a foundation for people to be unquestioned.
