The most difficult thing to reform the military system is actually not the system, but where the inappropriate people go. Under the new system, many of the original generals and school soldiers are not suitable. The most difficult thing is to learn about their transformation and follow-up arrangements.

Xu Ping finally figured out that the current situation of the Imperial Guards cannot be attributed to the mistakes of a certain person or the mistakes of a group of people. He must fully realize that the generals and soldiers of the Imperial Guards are also victims of the old system and military culture. This idea is the basis for the comprehensive implementation of the Imperial Guards' reform. It is inappropriate to attribute the current situation of the Imperial Guards to the mistakes of the Imperial Guards, and thus kick them away and start a new fire. Doing so is irresponsible also shows that the people in power have no political responsibility and ultimately endless troubles. The governor turns political reasons to people, and does not regard these people as their own people, and let them take the blame for their political behavior. Perhaps it can solve the problem for a while, but it also plant the root of disaster. If you don't treat others as human beings, then they will take it for granted that they are a hater. It is light to scold them, and it is natural to force them to die together.

Systems are systems that govern people, culture is the culture expressed by people. The backwardness of systems and culture is expressed by specific groups, but the mistakes should not be borne by these specific groups. Realizing that the current imperial guards are also victims of backward systems and culture, the rulers should love them and not sweep them aside as garbage. They cannot adapt to new systems and cultures. The court should find a way out for them so that they can start a new life. Only by reforming the system and culture, and at the same time completing the transformation of people can the reform of the military system be finally completed.

The original upper-level generals of the Imperial Guards were not capable enough, and they were already accustomed to the original management system. The new system requires high culture and professional knowledge and high coordination and organizational skills. The simple and crude management method in the past is not feasible. A large number of people cannot change, and even if they organize learning, only a few people can change, and most people will eventually be eliminated. This is a fact. Those in power have no power to complain. They should give new life to those who have been transformed, and they should give another life to those who have not been transformed. Bury the old culture and system and liberate people from that system and culture.

The soldiers at the bottom also had the same problem. Under the old system and culture of the imperial guards, they were not proactive, had low enthusiasm, had low sense of responsibility, and paid too much attention to economic interests. Their transformation was also very difficult. We must be fully prepared. If the military reform was fully rolled out, we may face the problem of a large number of old soldiers being decommissioned and a way out. This is different from the transformation of the old warlord army in New China in history. At that time, most of the soldiers of the warlord troops had not been in the army for a long time, and less than a generation. The current imperial guards have had a military family of one or two hundred years, and there were quite a few. It is very difficult to adapt to the new military system and culture. They were uncomfortable and difficult, and the army could not bear to struggle. It would be better not to find a way out.

Several of the most important figures in the army gathered together, and the most discussed issue was the old soldiers' way out. There were already a large number of soldiers in the country with more than 200,000 wings, and they could no longer add a large number of personnel to it. The eliminated old soldiers eventually left the army.

The biggest place to go is nothing more than the field affairs under the Ministry of the Three Division. The field affairs are not bad, but the Ministry of the Three Division is unwilling to accept these people. It is difficult to manage, unwilling to work, and is used to being idle and free, and is not suitable for factory.

Ming Hao said: "I sent official documents from the capital after the previous schedule. The three departments have moved 600,000 ounces of cash to resettle soldiers of the military service. But the Secretary of the Central Committee has not decided where these people are going, and it is really difficult to deal with."

Xu Ping said: "Most of the imperial guards in Hebei are from their own country, so they are unwilling to leave their hometowns. The Secretariat and the Privy Council have asked several times before, and they only had less than 10,000 people to recruit people to the northwest, which was just a drop in the bucket. To resettle them, it would be better to find a way from Hebei Road first. When they leave the barracks, get used to it slowly, and then persuade them to go to the other routes."

"It is not impossible to stay on Hebei Road. Due to the breaking of the Yellow River, there are many flooded areas to the east of Daming Prefecture. This year, the river has receded and returned to the new river channel. There is a lot of land to be reclaimed. The Sansi can build several field camps in this area and attract some de-service soldiers. According to the people who have been resettled, they are still willing to go to field camps and manage."

Du Yan supervised and arranged the return of refugees from Hebei Road, and learned a lot about this. People were affected by disasters and went to other prefectures and counties to rush to famine, and not everyone would come back. There are always people who stayed in other places and did not return to their hometowns, and there were many idle fields. As long as the three officials were willing to take out money and buy land, it was not difficult to build a land camp. The land camp camp camp was managed semi-military and life was guaranteed. Although it was not as free as local areas, many imperial guards liked it, and they were used to this kind of life.

According to the resettlement standards, every soldier who is decommissioned to the field business will be divided into three rooms for each family, and another 30 stakes are used as settlement fee. This standard is not low, which is equivalent to a medium-sized household. The production materials for field business, such as fields, oxen, plows and other farm tools are owned by the field business, and no farmers need to do it themselves. The decommissioned soldiers who are decommissioned to the field business basically take money and greet them, so that they can start a new life with their families. This resettlement method is relatively smooth.

However, the number of people who can accept the land service is limited. The entire Hebei Road can only receive 50,000 or 60,000 people, and even if it is hard to plug it into it, it cannot exceed 100,000 people. One person in the imperial guards can reach a place, and one household is equivalent to a large province, which is not easy.

Speaking of arranging the imperial soldiers to the camp, Xu Ping couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "The most difficult thing now is that the soldiers who want to enter the camp are mostly those who want to stay in the army. Those who are willing to farm and live, are so loyal and honest. Which officer doesn't want to keep these people? On the contrary, those who are not suitable for being in the military camp are unwilling to leave no matter how they persuade them. It is the most troublesome."

Several people have a deep feeling. Those who are willing to work want everything, and those in the army want to stay. The real gods hate ghosts, those who are used to being idle, the place does not want, and the army does not want either, but they do not want it. In the military camp, there is a fixed ration, no matter what, it may not be possible when they go outside. Whether it is the field affairs of the camp or the field affairs of the three departments, or the vast majority of the people, they all have a common characteristic: more work is more, less work is less, and those who do not farm or crops are not allowed to eat.

Seeing a few people, Zhao Zhen was a little anxious and said, "The soldiers in the army are all the same. There are actually idle and lazy people who are lazy and greedy. After all, these people should also arrange their places to go, and never be careless. It is absolutely impossible to stay in the army to harm them, otherwise the reform of the army will become empty talk. It is even more impossible to drive out of the army without giving a way out!"

Xu Ping and others smiled bitterly. The emperor ignored the difficulties of the ministers of the foreign court. He had to keep his prestige and win over the hearts of these people. There were quite a lot of idle men in the imperial guards, especially the imperial guards stationed in Kaifeng City, and Zhao Zhen also knew very clearly. After the transformation into the new imperial guards, these people were never allowed to stay in the army. Zhao Zhen understood this very well. He drove them out of the military camp and must be properly placed, otherwise it would not be possible to cause trouble. How to arrange it is not the emperor's concern.

Finally, Xu Ping said: "It's better to do this. If you don't get rid of these people who are not suitable for the army and have nowhere to go, don't get rid of their military status. From below Huazhou, the silt of the Yellow River has accumulated year by year. Now the river channel is already higher than the two sides of the river, how can you break the dam downstream? The new river channel was sent by the Secretariat to investigate, and the silt and sand have begun to accumulate in the sea. I'm afraid it will not be stable for a few years. The army that was not organized will be cleaned up, so let them clean the Yellow River waterway and not cause any disaster. Think about the specific method in the future, let the three departments take out some money to raise these people first."

As long as the upstream mud and sand are constantly in the process, the Yellow River will not be able to be managed once and for all. We must be prepared for a protracted war. Let the soldiers of the imperial guards who have nowhere to go to do this first and solve the problem in decades. When these people and their descendants get used to local life and slowly guide them to other places. At that time, the governance of the Yellow River will be handed over to the local area. The only problem is that the Sansi will compile a large amount of river management funds every year in the next few decades.

After thinking for a while, Du Yan said, "It's not impossible to do this. No matter how much money is spent on river management, can it be more than raising troops? Then, from Mengzhou to Hekou, he organized a large army to govern rivers, set up officials to place imperial soldiers who had nowhere to go."

Zhao Zhen said: "This is feasible. If the three corpses have difficulty in money and food, you can help some from the inner treasury."

After saying that, Zhao Zhen looked at the several ministers eagerly, wanting them to thank him. However, he didn't expect Xu Jie, and the few people didn't say anything. It was meaningless.

If people were separated from the imperial guards and used to govern the river, it would naturally become the Xiang army. The treatment of the Xiang army was worse than that of the imperial guards, but in order to appease the hearts of the people, the Secretariat would not reduce their salary. The money of the Sansi was not saved. The real money was that they would not have to give them rewards from then on. What was saved was the money of Zhao Zhen's inner treasury. The evil people were done by the priests and saved Zhao Zhen's money. It was natural for him to use the money of the inner treasury to help the Sansi, so why should I thank him?

Zhao Zhen himself understood this truth, smiled awkwardly, and did not mention it again, saying: "The important officials must be appointed as the river affairs. Who in the court can take this position?"

Du Yan said: "Wang Yan once went to visit Luo and Gongshu Zhaowen to Bian. He might have made some minor mistakes at that time, but he was an expert at this time.

Speaking of Wang Yan, including Zhao Zhen, we looked at Xu Ping together. The two of them explored the river together, and there were many conflicts, but in the end, Wang Yan became a mess. Now Xu Ping has become the prime minister, and I don’t know how to look at this old enemy back then.

Xu Ping smiled: "One time and another time, Wang Yan first went to Lingnan and then to the northwest, and there was a political reputation wherever he went. He could call him back to the court. If he was really familiar with the rivers and canals, he could use it himself."
