Looking at Wang Gongchen's confused look, Du Zhongxiao said: "Nehan, this time the martial arts performance in the capital city has won a great victory. In fact, I am more embarrassed than the ministers in the court. It is already suspicious that the imperial court set up a military academy in the capital city and trained another strong army. I will slowly replace all the generals and soldiers in the old Hequ army. I will become an isolated minister, so I will feel at ease in the court."

After hearing this, Wang Gongchen hurriedly said, "Jing Shuai is loyal and has a proper position since he entered the officialdom. Hequ Road's military achievements are unparalleled, and he is not proud of his achievements. He always has no doubts about the loyalty of the court. The emperor has no doubts about the loyalty of the court, and no one in the court's ministers have no suspicion!"

Du Zhongxiao said: "Even so, what can I do? If others cannot train a strong army, I am not at ease. The more I cannot train a strong army, the more I will have other thoughts. The trust of the emperor will disappear sooner or later. For me, the best thing now is to leave the army, be a civil servant, not hold military power, and stay here, one is to shock the surrounding area. With me in the previous few wars, Khitan and Dangxiang dare not fight. Another thing is to wait for another general to lead a strong army and shock foreign enemies? What I am most afraid of now is that the suspicion of the court is only my future. I am also afraid that once I leave the army, this army will be short-lived, except for using guns and cannons, it is still the same as before. When the strong enemies around me also learn to use guns and cannons, they still cannot defeat them. This is the real terrible thing!"

Wang Gongchen nodded: "I understand what Jishuai said, I understand. This time I return to Beijing, I will reply to the emperor."

Du Zhongxiao sighed: "Now, it can reassure the court and make me feel at ease. There is one thing that can be done barely. When entering Hequ Road, Wang Quanbin was the deputy, but in fact he was the military supervisor by my side. After the war, Wang Quanbin was promoted and replaced by Zhang Sheng. Although he was the deputy envoy of the government, Zhang Sheng was really the deputy, no longer the military supervisor. Nehan returned to Beijing and reported to the emperor, and sent another military supervisor. Now the eunuch is not suitable, otherwise the two governments must have something to say. He would send a minister to the local jurisprudence, which is based on the previous practices of Wang Quanbin when he was in the army."

Wang Gongchen thought for a while and said, "I can report back to the emperor, but the success is determined by the holy intention. - Jishou, this time is different from when I first entered Hequ Road. This military supervisor is not easy to choose. It has a low status and is useless. It has a high status, so it is difficult to be inferior to Jishou."

Du Zhongxiao said: "There are always some ministers in the court. Last year, the Khitan wanted to seize Tanglong Town. The court ordered me to take the army of 30,000, so I came here without saying a word. It would be much easier for people who are dedicated to national affairs and loyal and reliable to do this."

Wang Gongchen nodded silently. The current situation is clear. Many arrangements are to prevent Du Zhongxiao from being too powerful in military power. What is loyal, before the Emperor Taizu put on his robe, he was also loyal. There was no arrangement to restrict Du Zhongxiao's military power, and they would inevitably be suspicious of each other. The court was afraid that Du Zhongxiao would rebel, and Du Zhongxiao was afraid that the court would plot against him, and the balance was very fragile. In fact, Du Zhongxiao had no intention of rebellion and had no conditions for rebellion.

Now the world is peaceful, and the logistics of Hequlu is all in the Central Plains. Isn’t it because of rebellion that he is seeking death? The rebellion of An Lushan in the middle Tang Dynasty left a deep impression on future generations. Anyone with any signs of it will easily be attacked and suspicious. In fact, the Anshi Rebellion was mixed with various contradictions. There were contradictions between the court and the local government, the contradictions between Anlushan and the prime minister, and ethnic contradictions. One of the three was missing, and it would not cause such serious consequences. The various reasons in later generations, without mentioning ethnic contradictions or even forcibly distinguishing between insignificant ones is not in line with the facts. After the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty began to slander Hu, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty gave up the title of Tiankang. The people of the Tang Dynasty themselves understood things, and later generations insisted that there was no one, which meant that the people at that time were stupid?

The Anshi Rebellion ignited the ethnic conflicts of the Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty was still suffering. On one side was the Khitan and on the other side was Dangxiang. Dangxiang really became a big problem, not Zhao Jipang's personal ambition, nor was it the problem of several states that seemed to be weak on paper, but the huge number of Dangxiang people and the vast territory occupied. Du Zhongxiao entered Hequ Road, nominally received from the Khitan, but in fact it was the territory of the Dangxiang people, and Dangxiang people accounted for the majority. The Khitan and Dangxiang started a war because the people here were Dangxiang tribes. And these Dangxiang people were all moved from the Hequ land to the west. The Tang Dynasty's military farming achievements in Hequ were all ended by their own disasters and took the initiative to give them to Dangxiang people.

Under the pressure of Du Zhongxiao, Yelu Renxian voluntarily withdrew from these states. One of the reasons was that this place was not Khitan territory.

Pour tea for Wang Gongchen, Du Zhongxiao said, "Nehan, the most troublesome thing now is whether the military academy in the capital is OK? The most important thing, I have explained clearly, that is, what kind of army to train? Is it a rebel army that wins the hearts of the world, or a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk and a hawk

Wang Gongchen said, "In my opinion, the reason why the ministers in the court do not know the greatness of this matter is that they do not know the greatness of this matter. Since the general Jie has asked for it clearly, the matter will be easier to handle. The army silences the people and punish the people, and the people are slaughtering the censorship to welcome them. Isn't it exactly what the court wants? Those who oppose this will definitely not allow it, and the ministers will definitely distinguish the matter. After I return to the capital, I will report to the emperor and re-arrange the military academy in the capital."

Du Zhongxiao said: "In fact, there are many generals in the army who understand right and wrong. For example, in the previous battle against Nong Zhigao in the south, when General Sun Jie died in the battle in front of the formation, Jia Kui was not on standby and finally won a complete victory. Taiwei Di ordered him to take over the treasures left by Nong Zhigao, but Jia Kui did not take any of them. If he was just a minion of a hawk or dog, Jia Kui was so stupid. He would not put his treasures in front of him, because he had a family and country in his heart. A strong family and country was the foundation of the rebel army."

Wang Gongchen said: "In the battle of the Southern Expedition, the emperor admired Jia Kui very much and was about to make great use. Before I came, the emperor intended to use Jia Kui as the manager of the military affairs of Goulin Mansion, and transferred from Hedong Road to Hequ Road to the commander of the Hequ Road."

Du Zhongxiao was stunned. He really didn't know that there was this arrangement. The three states of Hewai on Linfu Road were not in close contact with Hedong Road, and Dangxiang was in great influence, so it was used as a cover for Hedong Road. Now Dangxiang has retracted and transferred to Hequ Road, which is normal. Of course, Du Zhongxiao doesn't know what is going on.

The name of family and country is because the nature of a state-owned family is different from other groups. This is the tradition of unification. In the middle, clans and nations have feudal nature, reflecting oppressiveness to the lower families and confrontationality to the upper countries.

After thinking about it, Du Zhongxiao said, "Since we have mentioned here, there is one thing, let me explain it to Nehan clearly. The generals of the Imperial Army rely on class law to command the army, and the so-called generals must be authoritarian. The army on Hequlu is different from this. The commander is the commander, and the management of common affairs is far from this. The commander inquire about guidance on common affairs, but cannot be authoritarian."

Wang Gongchen said: "Everyone knows this matter, and the officials in the capital have had many discussions. Although they have their own opinions, most of them still think that what Jishuai said makes sense. This matter is not urgent, and we must make corrections step by step."

Du Zhongxiao said, "When it comes to this matter, it is not inevitable to talk about deputy positions. Deputy positions in Hequ Road Army, who go to supervise the army in wartime and cooperate with the generals in daily life. I heard people in the capital, why not manage the lower yamen, and save many officers. This point must be made clear. The generals in the army have their own yamen, and the yamen has their own chief officials. Isn't it equivalent to setting up a yamen in the yamen? Any deputy positions cannot be divided, otherwise the yamen will be established directly. The general will grasp the overall situation. The deputy positions will be rotated by the deputy positions, and the general will be signed by the general after the letter. In this way, the chief officials will not seize the power of each yamen, and the yamen will not do their own affairs, so that there will be no chaos."

Wang Gongchen nodded. This is the current system of the government affairs hall. The prime ministers are taking turns to serve on duty and are required to participate in political affairs. However, the system of the Hequ Army in the army requires joint signatures, but they can be signed on the top and disagree with the general. Such a system is a general rule, that is, no matter the chief official, no matter the chief officer, the chief deputy, has no specific responsibility, and all subordinates are under their jurisdiction. On the contrary, it is a division of governance. Several chief officials and deputy officials are in charge of one stake. It was proposed by Fan Zhongyan during the Qingli period and was abolished in a short period of trial. Dividing governance is easy to form power and feudalism, and the prime minister and the political affairs hall each control several areas. It is equivalent to a yamen setting up a yamen in the yamen, and the above yamen in the yamen management no longer exists. In fact, on one side, the prime minister is abolished, and on the other side, the power of the yamen is expanded.
