In the General Office of the Hebei Xuanfu Office, there was a sound of jingling scabbards colliding. In the entire hall, there were new army generals wearing narrow-sleeved robes, black leather boots, nine-leather belts, and turbans. These warriors are now divided into old-school and new-school, each standing on the left and right of the hall, clearly distinguishing them.

The so-called old-fashioned warriors are those who have never studied in the new military academy. They are somewhat rude and savage, but they are very popular among civil servants and commanders. These rude warriors may not read much, but they know the reason why civil and noble martial arts are light. They don’t have so many romances in their belly, so it’s easy to fiddle with them.

The so-called new school is a professional student from the martial arts palace system. They have read more books! Although the Song Dynasty's officer training system is not as perfect as the Zhou State, the education level of the martial arts palace is not bad. Before the four years of professional education, there was still a preparatory education ranging from one to two years. The students who could enter the martial arts school were mostly generals and military generations, and most of them had received military education from their families. Therefore, they were all officers who had studied hard for more than ten years. Moreover, they read a lot more books than traditional Confucian scholars and officials! They also learned Confucian classics, empirical schools, and rational schools. They also memorized the traditional military strategy, and the new military learning copied from the Knights Academy was also compulsory. In addition, they all developed a lot of martial arts, and they immediately got rid of swords, swords, guns, and arrows, and all of them were able to understand.

Of course, such talents with both civil and military skills and good academic knowledge are highly regarded by themselves, look down on old and old, and look down on old-fashioned officers, and look down on the civil servants of the imperial examination. The most hateful thing is that they also like to compare with the new-style officers of the Zhou State.

The future treatment of new-style officers over there is excellent! Not only are they a manor and a status (citizen level), but they are also easy to get promoted. It is common to be a general in their thirties. After transferring to the reserve service, they can also find a good way out in the officialdom.

Among the members and senior officials at all levels of Zhou State, at least one-third are senior officers in the reserve service. This is not to be a vase! The Senate of Zhou State and the parliament at all levels have real power.

In addition, the Zhou Dynasty's franchise with a "killing license" license is also the way out for reserve officers, which is a place to grab a lot of money!

The officers of Zhou State did not earn much money when they were formally serving, but after being transferred to the reserve service, they had many opportunities to make a fortune.

Therefore, officers who have no property often apply for reserve service by themselves in their thirties, and then go to the franchise trader to find a job that is well-paid and can make money. Compared with corruption and bribery, this way to make money is the right way. Therefore, there is almost no corruption within the Zhou army. If they are expelled from the military for corruption and bribery, they will not be converted to a member of parliament, government officials and franchise trader to make money.

In contrast, the new-style officers in the Song State were suffering. First of all, it was difficult to rise. Most of the new-style officers who graduated from the Martial Arts Palace were only ranks of lieutenant (unless they had a good official position). The change of lieutenant should have been a matter of qualification for officers from professional schools. However, since the conflict between the new and old schools in the officialdom is all-round, the ministers from the imperial examination often regarded new-style officers as aliens, and made things difficult for them when they were transferred. The matter of changing their official positions became like fish jumping on the dragon gate!

At the same time, the military officers of the Song Dynasty had the tradition of "going up and down quickly". When they had military achievements, they rose up like flying, but once they made mistakes and had no backstage to rely on, they would be easily beaten to the end.

Therefore, new-style officers often rise slowly and rush quickly, and their future is far from as good as they imagined. Gradually, they have affected the enrollment of the Martial Arts Academy... As a last resort, Ji Yi and Zhang Shuye had to pay full lieutenant salary to the students and preparatory students in the Martial Arts Academy.

However, when it comes to promoting new military officers to become officials, Ji Yi and Zhang Shuye dare not overstepping their authority and paying money to military academy students. There is no way to pay money to military academy students. However, if you promote military academy students to become officials or paying extra money, it is suspected that they are formed in the army!

The censor's bullet stamp came over, and Ji Tsengxiang couldn't bear it.

However, after a long time, the new-style officers have a solution. Their countermeasure is to speak loudly before the war!

The so-called cannon fires, and it’s ten thousand taels of gold!

We need to send troops to fight, right? Then we should bring the official body first. Now we have to bring the official position to the master.

Otherwise, we will give up and will not fight hard!

In addition to officials, we have to give enough money! Everyone is so poor that they won’t make a fortune on the battlefield?

The opening fee is a sum, the salt and vegetable fee in wartime is a sum, and the reserve fund for rewards must be given enough. Otherwise, there will be no money to pay for the battle and no gods will be able to help them.

In short, a group of new army officers like wolves had nothing to discuss at this time, so they had to eat enough first!

I've been hungry for many years, can I not give it to you?

So the generals who came today, regardless of the new and old schools, led the army under the old schools. Otherwise, how would they command? How to train? The new army of the Song Dynasty, like the Republican Army of the Zhou Dynasty, paid great attention to standardization and precision. Arrays, formations, trenches, forts, and cannon arrangements must be carried out in accordance with the regulations. A lot of mathematical knowledge is required. The old-school officers cannot even understand the new formation diagram (drawn by Zhao Ji) and cannot draw. How to command the troops?

Therefore, it is one thing to suppress it in normal times. Now we have to give a lot of rewards. Otherwise, the army will not be able to enter the battlefield at all...

But how could the new Zhang Jun, Liu Ziyu and Liu Zihui know about this?

Before Lu Huiqing and Yao Gu came out, they saw the ten promotion lists and various bills submitted below, and they felt a little numb.

"What? There are more than 300 officials who have been transferred...How can you do this? You have started to be promoted before the battle has been fought?"

"There is too much money! One battalion costs 200,000 yuan... Fifty battalions cost 10 million yuan! This is too much!"

"If you don't give it, you can't fight? What's the rule? How can you do this? It's so unreasonable!"

The officers and deputy generals present all looked at each other after hearing this. Originally, the officers of Jiyisi were new, and they all helped the subordinates ask for money and officials. How could they get back the ticket? If Jiyisi and the new officers of Jiyisi were not wearing pairs of pants, how would they command in the future? Carry them on both sides!

Qu Duan, the first general of Xihe who made contributions in the Battle of Jiaozhi, was the leader of the new army officers in Hebei. Of course, he had to speak out at this time.

"Three military aircraft, the battalion officers and assistants below have worked hard to lead troops on weekdays, and it is very difficult to transfer officials. So many team leaders and battalion deputys who have been leading troops for many years have not had any official positions. Seeing that the army is about to set off, everyone doesn't know their life or death. Why do they have to send the documents and newspapers for the transfer officials to Kaifeng Prefecture? Otherwise, what morale will everyone have?

Of course, money cannot be less! The officials and officials want to be transferred to officials, but the soldiers below need to see money! Without money, they can’t even walk on the road, so why are they fighting?”

"A battalion costs 200,000?" Zhang Jun looked at Qu Duan angrily, "A battalion has only more than 900 people, so how dare you ask for 200,000? Are you crazy about money?"

"One person is only more than 200 people evenly distributed. What is enough?" Qu Duan shook his head, "And nowadays, wars are all about fortresses and chariots, which are forever. A war cannot be over in a few months. During this period, there may be many camps to be transferred, and every time they have to be rewarded, and once they go to battle, they have to be rewarded... If there is no 200,000 yuan, which camp will dare to take the troops out?"

Quduan's words certainly make sense. Now is an era when battalions, hard villages, car castles, artillery and heavy muskets (camel cannons) are popular.

The war mode is lasting!

It’s nothing to build a bastion for a few months, or to build a hard village for a taxi, a hard village for a few months.

Unless there is a generation difference between the two armies or one side makes obvious mistakes, it is impossible to decide the winner in the short term.

According to the "countermeasures" formulated by Yifang, a driver of the Xuanfu in Hebei, the Song army's ideas on the battlefield in Hebei were also a long-term confrontation. They relied on hard villages, stupid battles, and bastions, and relying on dangerous places to slowly consume with the Zhou State.

This kind of fighting style is of course feasible. With the combat effectiveness and equipment of the new army of the Song State, it is indeed difficult to fight against the Zhou army. The hard camp is useless in offensive operations! Their firepower is not enough and the cavalry has no advantage. You can't let the spearmen charge against the opponent's shotgun?

Besides, if the new army soldiers are finished quickly, who will be killed? Only by fighting can you ask for money and officials!

But Zhang Jun still felt that Qu Duan and others spoke loudly at the Lion and refused to report anything.

Just when the two sides were arguing, the sound of boots came from behind the screen. Then, the voice of Yao Gu, the commander of the Xuanfusi Division, was heard: "What are you quarrels about? The Xuan Shuai is here! You are standing in the shift, don't be rude in front of the army!"

It turns out that it is Lu Yihao who is here!

In the past few days, because General Lu Daxuan removed a group of new-style officers from Jiyi and replaced them with civil servants who were aware of the military, he was not worried about many of the original military affairs. The original military affairs represented the classmates below. Now, Jiyi was sheltering Lu Yihao from the wind and rain, so the effect was naturally different.

But that was normal, and now the war is right in front of you, so it is hard to say whether these civil servants can handle it.

The generals and Jiyi below stood by the grade and saw Lu Yihao walking into the generals with a stern face. The generals and Jiyi bowed and bowed, and they were a little respectful.

But Lu Yihao also knew that respect is superficial, and the game between the upper and lower levels is the best thing to deal with now.

Otherwise, the army would not know when it would be able to start the battlefield?

Lu Yihao smiled faintly at the generals under his command, "Everyone, I just received the urgent report of the gold medal. About 30,000 infantry and cavalry in the east have crossed the Yellow River between Qingzhou City and Diaoyuzhai Basin. They are currently building camps on the west bank of the Yellow River and approaching Qingzhou City with cavalry!

Now is the time for you to kill the enemy for the country! The emperor has raised you for a thousand days and spent countless money on the people, for the sake of this moment! All generals should be conscious of the military law, be cautious in their orders, and be diligent in their affairs!

As for rewarding the reincarnation of the official, I will fight for you and others!”
