After reporting what happened in Yingyang, Zhang Jun suddenly became a little embarrassed. He said to Wang Xiaolie: "Zhenfu, I have been following you since I was young, and I have made some achievements consciously. But now there are many generals under Zhenfu, and their respective responsibilities are clear.

I feel like what I am doing now will make it difficult for me to get promoted."

Wang Xiaolie smiled: "How do you know it is difficult to get promoted? If you are doing well now, your contribution is no less than that of Du Tong and Yu Hou."

Zhang Jun said: "Don't coax me, the governor. The people you arranged on the enemy's side are mainly to collect intelligence. What you need is to be bold and careful, and to be able to endure loneliness. I can be bold and careful, but how can I endure loneliness?"

?The white knife goes in and the red knife comes out. What I want is a happy life!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "If it is not necessary, things like Ding Jin will rarely happen in the future. After getting rid of Ding Jin, Liu Yu will not only take precautions, but also strictly investigate the people around him. Even Zhai Xing, Jie Qian and Chen Gui around him will

, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep well for a long time. I have withdrawn some key people a few days ago. For the next time, I will leave the people who collect intelligence outside.”

Zhang Jun said: "I think so. If you get rid of Ding Jin so easily, who among the others won't be afraid?"

Wang Xiaolie sighed: "Yes. Because of this, I have always advocated sending people as much as possible to collect intelligence and not do other things. Once I take action, everyone will be wary, and even intelligence will be difficult to collect. Sun Tzu said, know yourself and your enemy.

, You can fight a hundred battles without danger. If you are not careful, how can you know the enemy? If you get rid of one Ding Jin, the entire intelligence system will be greatly affected, and the price is really not small."

After saying that, seeing Zhang Jun's twitchy expression, Wang Xiao said with a smile: "If you have any ideas, just say it. You have been with me for three years and you know my temper. No matter what you say, it doesn't matter."

Zhang Jun couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Zhenfu doesn't care about what we say. But when we mention things that we shouldn't do, Zhenfu also resolutely doesn't do them. Fortunately, I have self-awareness and won't mention excessive things."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Jun said solemnly: "I think, looking at the current situation, if you want to be promoted, you have to lead troops to fight. But I have never led troops since I joined the army. How can I do this? Now we are building

I entered the military academy, which specializes in training officers. I thought that if the governor agreed, he would let me study in the military academy for one or two years. Once I learn well, I can become a military commander."

"Okay, okay, it's best if you bring this matter up yourself." Wang Xiaolie couldn't help but nodded after hearing this. "You're right. You are in the military. If you want to be promoted, it is best to rely on military merit. Now you do

It is not easy to achieve military success in matters involving military affairs. You may make mistakes if you are not careful."

Zhang Jun was overjoyed after hearing this. As long as Wang Xiaolie agreed, there would be no more difficulties. With his own intelligence, others could learn it in the military academy, how could he not learn it?

He said hurriedly: "Does Zhen Fu think so too? I'm afraid Zhen Fu won't agree!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "It's a good thing that you want to make progress, how could I disagree! Regarding Ding Jin, we have to live quietly on the enemy's side for a while. The army has produced artillery, and the defense of the city is even better.

Easy. During this period, I want to occupy Yingchang Prefecture and build a military city in each of Changshe, Changge and Yanling counties, forming a horn shape. In this way, Chenzhou, Caizhou, and Yingzhou will be all for me

All the previously established guerrilla zones were pushed forward to Kaifeng Prefecture, Yingtian Prefecture and Bozhou. These places are closer to Liu Yu, so you can no longer be as blatant as before."

Zhang Jun said: "The Zhenfu is wise! After Liu Yu took over power, he had to clean up the internal affairs for a while. The forces have not entered Kaifeng Mansion for the time being. If the Zhenfu does not take the opportunity to go out, he will miss a great opportunity."

Wang Xiaolie said: "The opportunity was created by us, not given by the enemy. With artillery, we can defend the city without being tied up like before. That area is the ancient Central Plains, thousands of miles of fertile soil, unmatched by other places.

In the second year of Jianyan, after Du Chong crossed the Yellow River, the water from the river took over the Qing River and flowed southward, forming a flooded area. Within two or three years, it would be very difficult to advance from the east of Chenzhou."

Du Chong defeated the Yellow River, and the Jin army was raging. Now Kaifeng Prefecture and Yingkai Prefecture are thousands of miles away from people. Without a strong rear, it is impossible to cross there to fight a war. Liu Yu's foundation is based on Daming Prefecture and Dongping Prefecture.

The core area. Kaifeng Mansion and Yingtian Mansion, the most prosperous areas in the Song Dynasty, are now basically wastelands.

Zhang Jun said: "Zhenfu, although I have never led a soldier, I still have a certain status in the army. If I enter the military academy, I can't be the same as ordinary students, right? If I enter the military academy, the past will be wiped out, and it will not count in the future.

Who dares to go in?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Of course. Do you think you are the only one who enters the military academy? Old officers in the army who have not attended the military academy must take turns to attend the military academy. You will be grouped separately and have special instructors.

, the time is also relatively short.”

Zhang Jun asked curiously: "The middle and senior generals in the army have never been to a military academy. What should they do?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "The same goes for officials above the level of control. However, their time is precious and will be shorter. Of course, the teaching is slightly simpler. But I don't recommend you do this. These people are teachers all year round.

Soldiers are very familiar with tactics. You are different. You have never led a soldier before and many things are unclear. If you are lazy now, you will suffer in the future."

Zhang Jun said with a smile: "I heard that ordinary students in the military academy are taught battalion and first-level affairs. These things can be done by the subordinates. Why do generals above the command level need to learn?"

After hearing this, Wang Xiaolie shook his head. He said sternly to Zhang Jun: "Don't think like this! Our current army is very different from the previous Forbidden Army. Different establishments, not only have different numbers, but also the same organization and command.

It’s different. If you are not familiar with the affairs of the battalion and general level, it will be difficult for more senior generals to do well. Mid-level and senior generals do not need to be familiar with the affairs of soldiers, and they may not be good soldiers in battle. But they must be familiar with the affairs of the battalion and general level.

I will definitely be a good commander and commander of first-level affairs."

Zhang Jun said: "What's the difference?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "We have millions of imperial troops in the Great Song Dynasty. We cannot win against the Khitan, we cannot win against the Xixia, and we cannot win against the Jurchens even more. Why? There are many opinions and many reasons. But

The most fundamental thing I think is that the imperial court’s positioning of the army was incorrect, the organizational structure was extremely disorganized, the appointment of generals was haphazard, and the command on the battlefield was chaotic. In the battle of Sanchuankou, the general was captured, and 70% of the troops did not participate in the battle!

It’s really a strange thing in the world! Is the war fought like this? The army is a tightly organized group, but the Forbidden Army doesn’t look like an army at all!”

Zhang Jun nodded: "Our army is indeed very different from the imperial imperial army."

Wang Xiaolie said: "I can't explain why the army has become like this. What I can say clearly is that such an army is not good. The general has no military knowledge and does not know how to lead troops. In the army,

How can this be done when officials are required to appoint officials for all matters large and small? Therefore, I require my generals to understand military knowledge and know how to command the army. Army command must be learned from the capital and camp. This is not just the starting point for the officer level.

It is also the starting point of their military command. Our army is the most basic battlefield command unit. How to set up formations on the battlefield, how to command, and how to fight must start from the beginning. When we reach the camp, we also need to add how to march.

, how to camp, and many things. Only when you are familiar with these can you become a higher-level officer. Don't regard the Duhe Camp as the class of officers and think that as long as you have served as an official of the same level, you can move up. That won't work.

You must have really served as an officer at these two levels before you can be promoted. Of course, when the system was first established, there was no way to do it in the past. So now there are many short-term trainings so that officers who have not attended military academies can also learn the corresponding knowledge.

.”

Zhang Jun was stunned for a while before he figured out what Wang Xiaolie meant and nodded.

Why can't the imperial army fight? Zhang Jun couldn't explain clearly, so how could Wang Xiaolie explain it clearly? It can be said that the imperial court's positioning of the army was inappropriate, which gave rise to various problems. But what exactly are the problems?

Can list them one by one.

In his previous life, he had a profound influence on Wang Xiaolie because of his belief in valuing civility over military affairs. After he actually led the army, he realized that this statement was not reliable at all. It may be overstated to say that valuing civility over military affairs has nothing to do with the combat effectiveness of the army, but it is said that it has any significant impact.

, is even more wrong. Some people say that in the past, military commanders were all generals and prime ministers. In the Song Dynasty, military generals could no longer serve as prime ministers, and the generals had no goals to strive for, and the army's combat effectiveness was simply not good. This statement gives people a very strange feeling.

Similar to this, officials cannot take the imperial examination, and it is difficult to become officials, which also affects the efficiency of government governance. This may seem reasonable at first glance, but in fact it is completely imagined.

If you can't be a prime minister, then the generals will have no motivation? Why don't you say that if you can't be an emperor, then you will have no motivation? Not to mention being a prime minister, how many soldiers can become officers? After becoming officers, how many can be promoted? The whole story

An army would have no power!

How could this be the case?

Wang Xiaolie's attitude towards the army is that he can't explain why the imperial army cannot defeat him, so he won't go into it. How an army can defeat it, from the memory of the past life to the current practice, is still generally reasonable. As long as it is down-to-earth,
