"There is no problem with military exercises, but the cost will be huge."
"Isn't this a bit of a fuss?"
An old minister said with some doubts.
After all, as long as the army goes on an expedition, it will be accompanied by countless logistical matters.
Not only the current situation, but also in the past, just like before, Zhang Bao and the others encountered a shortage of food and grass when they went on an expedition to the grassland.
Almost died on the grassland.
As for a normal deterrence military exercise, if fewer troops and horses are dispatched, it will naturally not have any deterrent effect. If more troops and horses are dispatched, it will also be a large expense.
In the current Daxia, everything requires money.
Such a large-scale operation naturally requires caution.
"The purpose of military exercises is not just to intimidate."
"For now, we no longer have any large-scale battles in Daxia. What we were doing before was also a reduction in troop strength."
"Deploy most of the troops on the periphery of Daxia, but with the gradual stabilization and prosperity of business here in Daxia, the soldiers and horses on these borders no longer play the role of guards as they did before."
"Once the soldiers and horses relax, it will be difficult to measure them by their previous combat effectiveness."
"So this military exercise is more like a large-scale military training. All soldiers and horses are divided into two parts, one for offense and one for defense. This approach is also very suitable for the wilderness in the northwest region."
"Those who win can switch defenses and choose jurisdictions at will, but those who lose will not have an easy life."
"Follow this for now."
Zhang Bao explained to everyone.
"As for the cost issue you mentioned, it does exist."
"But we should be prepared for danger in times of peace. We cannot not do what we should do because of the cost. Otherwise, when something does happen, the situation we face will be even more dangerous."
"At that time, it was no longer a matter of such a small cost."
Shen San said to those people.
After hearing what Shen San said, everyone nodded.
"In that case, I will make arrangements."
"In fact, if we really want to train troops, we might as well try it out with real swords and guns. Let's just say that there are very real horse bandits or wandering bandits in the northwest."
"It's just a good time to try out the coordination relationship between the various departments in the imperial court."
A minister said.
For the current Daxia court, the blood exchange during this period has basically replaced half of the original courtiers.
Many key positions are occupied by people who have never participated in this kind of war planning.
For those veterans, although there are problems in various aspects, at least they have come through this war process.
They all have their own experiences.
This kind of experience, no matter how they tell it or teach it, there is no way to run it in well.
This can only be accomplished through personal experience.
To be honest, for these veterans, making this kind of suggestion may not be their willingness to delegate power to these young officials and give them the opportunity to gain experience.
on the contrary.
Compared with these young officials, apart from their experience in dispatching, they really have no other abilities.
So they want to reflect their value in this way.
They want to use this method to reflect their previous abilities when the battle is ahead and the chaos is behind them.
I want to compare the upcoming chaos with the previous orderly situation to show that Zhang Bao is still somewhat unwise in the matter of substitutions.
Listening to this man's words, Zhang Bao didn't care at all.
For the current situation.
In fact, Zhang Bao has already done everything he should do.
For the current young officials, if they want to truly fit the functions of this position, they must go through all this.
Perhaps there will be mistakes, confusion, and shame in this process.
But this is also a stage they must go through.
And Zhang Bao also believes that the efficiency and vitality of young officials like them in doing some things, even if they are not very familiar with them, can make up for it through this efficiency.
And this kind of chaos will only become smoother and smoother as they become more familiar with the process, and the gaps in the process will become smaller and smaller.
And once these people actually adapt to this process, there will really be no place for these veterans.
These veterans cannot understand this kind of thing. They just think that they can make these people look bad in a relatively short period of time. However, the actual situation seems to be something that is difficult for them to know.
The situation in this process is of no benefit to them.
And if they, the veterans, can use the processes and experiences they are familiar with before to help these young ministers reduce the friction in this process, maybe they will still have a place in the future, but At least it seems difficult for now.
What they generally see and think about is that they want to get involved in this process and not see others living better than themselves.
They all hope to bring others down.
What they don't know is that even if they can pull this situation off, they will probably lose all the environment in the whole process.
When this environment continues to change, the path for all of them will be completely cut off.
History repeats itself many times.
But for them, it did not attract enough attention.
"Since that's what you all mean, then just do what you want. I hope you can see the final result."
Zhang Bao nodded when he heard that everyone meant this.
Of course, here, it may not be ruled out that some people really did not consider this aspect.
And indeed, it is through this method of military training that new opportunities are given to those young officials.
For Zhang Bao, the idea of training troops in peacetime is naturally something in his consciousness. Training troops is not for active aggression, but to have the ability to protect oneself when others take action.
Otherwise, just like in the late Qing Dynasty, after a period of peace, the top to bottom people were not very sensitive to war and had insufficient reserves for war.
During this process, when a war actually breaks out, all military supplies cannot be used directly, and all soldiers have long lost their basic combat capabilities.
If that time comes, it will be far beyond what the cost can make up for.
