Chapter 315 Others have begun to colonize, but you are still feudal!
Zhao Kai's happy and short holiday had to end early because of the news that Li Renxiao, the governor of Hexi, was preparing to rebel.
After Li Xiaozhong's memorial arrived, Zhao Kai immediately issued an order to summon the ministers of the two prefectures, the six ministers, the commander of the cavalry, infantry and artillery armies, and all the Hanlin scholars came to the Zhenguan Palace to discuss matters.
Among them, there are four ministers in the two prefectures, namely the left and right prime ministers of the Zhengshi Hall and the left and right Privy Council envoys of the Privy Council.
Currently, the left prime minister in the Luoyang court is Lu Yihao, while the right prime minister is Chen Ji, who just entered the dynasty from Sichuan not long ago, who replaced Zong Ze, who had retired from military service.
The left and right Privy Council of the Privy Council are He Guan and Wang Yuan respectively.
The six ministers are Chen Dong, the Minister of Personnel, Wang Bing, the Minister of War, Zhao Kai, the Minister of Revenue, Mi Youren, the Minister of Rites, Wang Shu, the Minister of Works, and Du Chong, the Minister of Punishment.
As for the three commanders of the three armies of the horse, infantry and artillery, they were new positions established by Zhao Kai on his way to the northwest to return to the court. These three positions were the heads of the Ma Army Commander's Office, the Infantry Commander's Office and the Artillery Commander's Office.
These three commander-in-chief departments are in charge of each infantry general, horse general and artillery general with each military commander--according to the current Song Dynasty military system, the troops under the commander-in-chief department will not change only if the direct commander-in-chief department is in place. The infantry general, cavalry general and artillery general under the commander-in-chief department must be rotated regularly in the commander-in-chief department as a unit, so as to avoid excessive force of each military commander-in-chief department.
At the same time, this rotation mechanism can also give the generals of the three cavalry and artillery armies the opportunity to appear under the command of Zhao Kai, a warlike official, so that Zhao Kai can effectively urge the generals to strengthen their training and combat preparations.
In addition, this mechanism is also conducive to breaking the boundaries between the border army and the central imperial guards, so as to avoid some troops suffering from war, while the other troops live a peaceful and peaceful life.
Currently, the commanders of the three armies of horse, infantry and artillery are Xiang Ke, Qu Duan and Yue Fei.
Among them, Yue Fei also served as the head of the Artillery Army Academy in Xuanwu City and the supervisor of the artillery factory in Xuanwu City. It can be said that those who are capable work harder.
The Shangyang Palace Horse and Shenduyuan Infantry Academy are also under preparation. After the official opening, the leaders of the two schools will also be held by the commander of the horse army and the commander of the infantry army.
These three schools, plus one of the Luoyang Science Hall, which began to be prepared after the second year of Hongwu, is Zhao Kai's other golden finger - the Technical School!
However, Zhao Kai was just a sophomore in his previous life. He was educated himself, so he really had no idea what to do with education.
So I can only organize the math, physics and chemistry knowledge I learned in my previous life, and first teach it simply - not a transcendence, but first pass it on to my own female class, and then with their help, I will write this knowledge out of the textbook in a language that the Song people could understand.
Then it is slowly passed to the teachers of the Cannon Academy and Science Hall (some of them are the Hanlin Bachelor’s Scholars next to Zhao Kai). After teaching the teacher, the school will be opened. First, the Cannon Academy and the Science Hall, and then the graduates of these two schools will go to the Cavalry Academy, the Infantry Academy or other schools to teach.
As for the level of these schools...that is, the ancient military science and various craftsmanship combined with some elementary schools, junior and senior high school level (up to the second year of high school), there are at most several technical schools, right?
Four priests, six ministers, three governors, and several Hanlin people on duty (responsible for recording and drafting edicts) were quickly summoned. In the Zhenguan Hall, a seat fell around a map platform. Zhao Kai himself sat on the top of the map platform, looking at the map platform that had just pounced on the Hexi map and frowned.
Zhu Fengying and Guo Tiannu were also in the Zhenguan Hall. Both were wearing female squad uniforms. Guo Tiannu stood behind Zhao Kai with a sword. Zhu Fengying pulled a chair next to Zhao Kai and sat listlessly. She was not without the government office. Zhao Kai often led troops outside, so she attended the government office more than once.
However, she was very "efficient" in handling government affairs (how much time would it take to get a lot?), so she had a short time to listen to government affairs. But today's meeting seemed to be held... Just when Zhu Fengying tried not to let herself fall asleep in the court meeting, the ministers were already talking and talking.
"Officials, since the Hexi Army is about to rebel, the court cannot sit idly by and must send troops to conquer!"
"Isn't it a trap for sending troops to conquer the Jin thieves? They designed to trap Richard and helped Li Renli to take power. Isn't it just to lead us to the Western Expedition? When we were in the Western Expedition, they could take the opportunity to rest!"
"Yes! Officials, we can't fall into the trap of the Golden Thieves! As long as we can restore Hebei and Jingdong's lost territory, it's not easy to deal with the Western Thieves?"
"The Western thieves will become bigger by then... Moreover, Hexi is vast and has a strong custom. He has been unwilling to accept Wang Hua for a long time. If the Western thieves have gained a firm foothold there and then eaten the former land of Anxi, it will be a great country that spans thousands of miles away. How can it be so easy to pacify?"
"Where is the old place in Anxi so easy to eat? The Hexi army has only hundreds of thousands of Dangxiang, and the most capable soldiers can fight is 100,000. How can we eat Uighurs and Turks?"
"But it is not easy for us to fight the west... The people in the Hexi Corridor are fierce and thalassinated. It is difficult to replenish the supply of large troops, and it is difficult to send too few troops. And after winning, how to occupy the territory is also a problem! If you can't occupy it, what's the point of fighting?"
Finally someone has come to the point!
When Zhao Kai saw that man, it turned out to be the right prime minister Chen Ji. He had been a transshipment envoy in Sichuan for two years and had outstanding political achievements! He received a large amount of Shu brocade, tea and rice for the court. The Shu brocade he received from Sichuan strongly supported the issuance and redemption of cloth tickets. In the past two years, the court has not lost trust on cloth tickets. Therefore, merchants in Luoyang, Ruyang, Xiangyang, Hanyang and other places have gradually recognized the credibility of cloth tickets. The exchange price comparison between cloth tickets and copper coins has also remained stable.
"Remember it," Zhao Kai said, "What you are worried about is exactly what I am worried about. It is not difficult to win with troops in Hexi, but the difficult thing is long-term stability. If you take Hexi but cannot be cured, it is better not to take it! Because we cannot cure it, it will cause the Uighurs to invade the east... and destroy the Dangxiang and lead the Uighurs, which is not worth the loss!"
"Official family," Chen Ji said carefully, "I have a way to govern Hexi, but..."
Chen Ji probably stayed in Sichuan for a long time and was a little distant from Zhao Kai, the emperor's brother. Although he still calls himself "a brother" now, he calls Zhao Kai the "official family".
"Just say anything!" Zhao Kai smiled, "My court discussion is to make people speak!"
"Official family, then my brother said." Chen Ji said, "If you want to make Hexi and even Anxi lands last for a long time, you can restore the positions of Hexi Jiedu and Anxi Dadu Protector. Grant the Hexi Jiedu Protector to fully manage the army and the people, and allow them to recruit troops, act cheaply, appease the foreign tribes, and interact with the states of the Western Regions."
Zhao Kai did not comment, and looked at the left prime minister Lu Yihao again. Lu Yihao stood up and replied: "Although the official family is an official appointed by the court, the governors of various states under the governor may also be appointed by the court. However, the governors' policies are actually feudal policies. Your Majesty should think twice before doing it!"
Lu Yihao, the husband, is not "water" at all. Although he is a civil servant, he is both civil and military. He also lived with his elders on the front line of the northwest when he was a teenager. He is very familiar with the complex situation of the military and the northwest.
It seems that he also knew the issue of the governor of the Tang Dynasty very well, so he came to the point and talked about the essence.
The Jiedushi was nominally a liberated official, but at the root it was feudal!
In other words, the Jiedu system was ruled by officials at the upper level, but was a feudal warrior at the grassroots level.
The upper level officials can go out to generals and ministers, or be transferred to other places, but what about the middle and lower levels of warriors? They cannot be transferred to the position with the Jiedu, otherwise what kind of Jiedu system will be implemented?
Moreover, the underground army of the Jiedushi cannot use the mainland government soldiers... The road is too far! It takes a few months to go back and forth, so why do you still serve in military service?
Usually, the army of the Jiedushi was recruited by the Jiedushi himself, and these people might have "worked" at the beginning, but over time, they would inevitably evolve into a samurai group!
Because no matter where these recruits come from, they will start families and prosper in their garrison. The descendants of these recruits have no way out in the border areas. They are nothing more than occupying land and joining the army to fight... While occupying land and joining the army to fight, aren’t they just warriors?
Under normal circumstances, the court would not transfer these border troops that had taken root on the border to other places... The cost is too high! Moreover, those border warriors would not be happy. Who would move well?
Over time, the border warrior group appeared!
In addition, in order to make contributions or seek stability, the governor appointed by the court will definitely compromise with the border warriors in various policies, allowing them to continue to grow and occupy more land and wealth. Seizing land and wealth has become the driving force for the border warriors to fight.
If the central court's military power is strong enough, these border warriors will fight outside and steal others. Otherwise... it will be Yuyang's agitated person!
Of course, the Jiedu system also has advantages. In fact, since the Tang Dynasty, the effective method of the Han dynasty in the Central Plains to control the Hexi Corridor, Ningxia Plain, Liaodong Peninsula, and Daibei Grassland is that the Jiedu or similar Dusi, General, and King Sai, are actually similar.
Lu Yihao sighed and said, "Although there are many shortcomings in the Jiedu system, the official family wants to collect remote and wild lands, and there is no other good law. If the official family wants to collect Hexi, then please implement the Jiedu system..."
There is no other way... Zhao Kai thought about it, but there is indeed no other way!
Unless you don’t want Hexi!
This is true. Colonialism was launched in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Zhao Kai, the Northern Song Dynasty ruled by time travelers, was still feudal there!
Moreover, the feudal elements are getting more and more...
