Chapter 88 Restructuring

In late August, Xu Ping was also in charge of the camp, and Yan Shu no longer took charge of military camp affairs. The news came out that the situation on Hebei Road suddenly became tense, and this appointment clearly stated that the war was coming.

A few days later, the Taigong Department was established in Daming Prefecture, which was the Dianqian Department, which was in charge of the Hebei Road and Jingdong Road. In fact, it was in charge of the reserves of the imperial guards and the volunteers of the rural soldiers. At this point, the local military system was completely clear, and the inspectors were the Central Secretariat, while the Volunteer Office was in charge of the Privy Council. The Volunteer Office completely served the imperial guards and did not serve local public security, and local officials had no right to govern.

The Privy Council sets up eleven pro-Royal Warriors across the country, and the troops of each state are divided into subordinates. Recruiting volunteers as village soldiers, and then selecting qualified ones from them as imperial guards. After half a year of training in the Volunteer Warriors, the Privy Council will arrange them uniformly and be assigned to each reorganized army. The reorganized imperial guards no longer implement a lifelong system. Ordinary soldiers will be decommissioned for five years in the army, and the small school will be limited to fifteen years and will return to the local area after decommissioned service. As an incentive, after the recommissioned service and the small school will return to the local area, they can give priority to serving public offices, and they will no longer serve in service or corvee for life. The Profitable Provy Council does not overlap with the existing Transportation Office, nor will they have relationships with other route-level supervisors, and will be managed vertically by the Privy Council through the Palace Front Office.

Wang Yi, the deputy envoy of the Sixun, was appointed as the commander of the Yiyong Department of Daming Prefecture, and Wang Yu, the deputy envoy of the Zuozangku, sent recruiting officers to Hebei Road and Jingdong Road to recruit soldiers. With a limit of three months, 30,000 soldiers were recruited to Daming Prefecture, and after training, they were added to the Imperial Army. There were about 180,000 volunteers on Hebei Road, and a little less than this number, so about one person was taken from the ten volunteers.

Accompanied by this, a larger scale of Northwest military officers were transferred to Hebei Road to enrich grassroots command. When the Zhongzuo Department was set up, thousands of grassroots officers from the Northwest military officers were transferred in. With this transfer, the scale was nearly 10,000.

With these middle and lower-level officers as the skeleton, the imperial guards on Hebei Road were reorganized on a large scale, and with Dingzhou as the center, several field corpses were formed. Sang Yi of Hejian Prefecture was roughly the core, and the three armies were reorganized and the Gaodaquan of Daizhou as the center, and the three armies were reorganized. The middle route was commanded by Xu Qian and Wang Kui, and the Yunjie Army and the Yunyi Army were reorganized. These eight armies were used for the offensive forces used for this battle, with about 300,000 people. The remaining imperial guards defended the places and prevented the Khitan cavalry from taking advantage of the straits.

The generals and soldiers eliminated from these eight armies were temporarily placed in Cizhou and Mingzhou as reserve forces. After the war was over, they would be reorganized into the River Patrol Army, and the River Matter was unified in command. In order to prevent people from turbulent, it was stipulated that the River Matter Army would be treated the same as the Imperial Army, and the salary would be paid according to the upper-class Imperial Army.

On August 26, the six-house envoy and the governor of Enzhou Zhao Xun was appointed as the military counselor of the army, and Wang Xuezhai was appointed as the supervisor of the army. Xu Ping officially took the matter to the army and summoned all generals.

The Ministry of the Ministry of the Imperial City was near Dong'anmen Square. It was a private house bought by the government. Yan Shushi had cleaned up a little, and the layout seemed quite chaotic. This was a temporary yamen, similar to the Longyou Protectorate before Xu Ping. When the emperor returned to Beijing, the Ministry of the Army of the Ministry of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Army was naturally cancelled. Strictly speaking, if Zhao Zhen did not personally fight, the Ministry of the Ministry of the Army of the Ministry of the Army was not responsible for external combat.

I met the generals who rushed over from the front lines of Hedong Road and Hebei Road in the official hall. Because the place in the official hall was cramped, Xu Ping asked them to sit in the yard. Drink a cup of tea, chat a few words, and then go to the palace to meet the emperor later. The camps were deployed in name to serve the emperor, and the real commander was the emperor himself. All the generals had to enter the palace to receive orders in etiquette.

The new deputy commander of the Rong army, Du Qi, who was a partner of tall, drank a bowl of tea. When Xu Ping came over, he said, "My husband, the army has eliminated soldiers and met with Cizhou and Mingzhou. Hedong Road is no less than hundreds of miles away, which is extremely troublesome and wastes food. Most of the people who have been eliminated are old and weak, or treacherous. It is better to impose the prefectures and counties, and place them well nearby and save countless efforts. In recent months, the army has a lot of affairs, so how can I arrange them?"

Xu Ping said: "As long as the army lists famous names and organizes escorts, they will arrange escorts along the road. From the date of handing over to the local area, these people will have nothing to do with the army and will not waste your energy."

Seeing Du Qi's expression, Xu Ping said: "Weichang, you are not used to many matters when you first entered the army. This is the normal person. I say to you, this time the system is changed. Don't push the system on people and look at the soldiers who have been eliminated. Otherwise, you will set a target for those who oppose the reform in the future, and there will be repeated."

Systems are systems, people are people, and people under the old system are also victims of the old system. Even if these eliminated people actually benefit from the old system, such as commanders at all levels, they are also victims. Affected by the environment, they can only adapt to the old system, and have no place to stand under the new system and lose their livelihood. This is their misfortune. The court changed the military system and reformed the system. These eliminated people should be treated equally, educated and transformed to adapt to the new life.

It is a fact that it is very difficult to turn around when distinguishing the system from people. In the process of reforming the military system, newly appointed officers often look down on eliminated officers, and some even make things difficult for them everywhere.

Xu Ping has always emphasized that it includes establishing a system for official documents and doing his best to eliminate these phenomena. Du Qi had just changed his military position, but his mind had not changed. It is normal for him to dislike this practice. Many of the eliminated officers committed crimes such as corruption and dereliction of duty. They were all punished in the past when changing the military system and were leniently dealt with. From the perspective of the Privy Council, they had to do this. Because some were eliminated, some were retained. Crimes such as corruption and dereliction of duty are common phenomena under the old system. If the eliminated person is investigated, should those who are retained be investigated? This matter cannot be concluded.

Turning the vulgar system reform into a struggle against people can indeed be decisive and efficient, but it will also cause countless mistakes and lay countless hidden dangers. One day, these mistakes and hidden dangers will break out, causing new harm, and even reversing the reform and failing great achievements. This is the reason why power and tricks should not be used unless they are absolutely necessary. After they are obtained, they will also lay hidden dangers. If the hidden dangers are not removed, they will break out at any time, and removing them will take much more energy.

Xu Ping's class struggle in his previous life was a typical example. The land revolution was originally an institutional revolution. The peasants were liberated, and it should be accompanied by the education and transformation of landlords. The suppression of landlords was the suppression of sinners in the class of landlords, rather than suppressing people in this class. Therefore, the land reform judged the landlords, and the crimes of the landlords were judged, rather than exploiting peasants by collecting rent and hiring. The vulgar system reform was turned into a downfall of people. It was simple and crude, and they would inevitably make mistakes, and there would definitely be landlords who were originally innocent but were suppressed by mistake. If it were not for the arrival of industrialization, this kind of reform would definitely be repeated.

Reform is a complex social project that must be carefully arranged and patient. Simplify and vulgarize the system, and turn the system into a struggle between people. Reform will inevitably not be thorough and will inevitably be repeated. Even if one is not bad, it will make the old system come back due to its own mistakes and eventually make the career fail.

Xu Ping was so serious and cautious about the reform of the imperial guards. This is because of this reason. He would rather put in more energy now and estimate the difficulties more than leave any major consequences.
