I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 733 Discussion on First Merit
At the last moment, it is necessary for the court to give key instructions.No one objected to this, and no one even raised objections on the spot to the official statement that there is no first and second merit.

However, this is only temporary, how can there be no first victory in a great war?It is nothing more than that in this war, the criteria for evaluating the first victory will change. In other words, the court did this to avoid the last step. The generals from all walks of life competed for the first victory, and the grand scheme fell short.

"The war of destroying the country, this is a great achievement that needs to be sacrificed to the Taimiao, to tell the ancestors, and to write an article on the stele..."

What Fu Bi said was very subtle. In fact, he was stating a fact to the officials. For such a big war, the records in the credit book all have relevant procedures. Primary and secondary.

The edict that should be issued must be issued, but the final reward for meritorious deeds is also necessary.

"Oh, this is indeed what it should be, so let's go together. All the courtiers, generals, etc. who participated in this battle should be heroes that will shine through in the annals of history."

It seems that the official said it very casually... Fu Bi was a little confused about the official's intention.Judging from the past of the officials, it seems that they don't care much about these ceremonies. Whether it is to conquer Xixia and win the battle of Haoshuichuan, or defeat the Liaoxia coalition forces in the battle of Hedong, it is enough to sue the Taimiao.

However, it has never happened once, and the generals who went to the battle just believed in the officials. No one had any objections, and even courtiers refused when they had suggestions.

Usually, it can be said that it is to protect the generals and try to keep a low profile to avoid being impeached by courtiers.But this time, the officials are also publicizing this battle. In fact, the courtiers basically agree with the current military system. Restricted to generals.

At this time, even if the imperial court commends the generals, I believe that the courtiers will rarely criticize them.

"Officials and veterans think that the merits of destroying the country cannot be buried..."

"Oh, Fu Xiang, I would like to ask, what do you think in the cabinet, who should be the first person in this war? Don't mention the first person to enter the Xixia Palace, or the first team to attack the Xingqing Mansion. No more In the early stage of the attack of various armies, no team can directly attack Huanglong."

"I also think that the merits of destroying the country should not be buried. The problem is, do you elders think that naming that general as the hero of destroying the country is worthy of the name and will not cause dissatisfaction among other generals?"

"Whether people in the world are smart or ignorant, they have one thing in common. They don't worry about scarcity but inequality!"

This... it is true.As the officials said, this great battle is indeed a war of destroying the country, but whoever can do his part can take the lead, it seems that no general is qualified.

Gao Zunyu's department was deeply trapped in the territory of Xixia, played the role of bait to the fullest, and fought hard for half a year...
But what about Wang Shaobu?More than a year of preparation and operation, thousands of miles away, successively attacked the cities of Xixia, and won the strategic location of the entire Hexi Corridor...

When the war really entered a critical stage, the Di Qing, Zhongja, and Guo Kui's overwhelming attacks on Xixia were all the heavy responsibilities of these main combat teams...

To put it more profoundly, the reason for the complete victory of this war is the improvement and supply of the workshop city's armaments, which cannot be ignored.The most important thing is that the entire cabinet and officials have drawn up an almost impeccable conspiracy!

Who can take the lead in the war of destroying the country?The answer is no, not any team, nor any general, or servant, can take it for granted that he is the chief minister in this battle!

Fu Bi suddenly thought of a term called collective, which often appeared in official theories.Perhaps when the officials were preparing for this war a few years ago, they had already positioned this war as the collective contribution of the entire court.

Collective, what a fitting noun, maybe this is the only way for all the court officials and generals who led the army involved in this war, including the ministers and workers who assisted in the war, to give a satisfactory explanation.

Looking at the expressions of the cabinet members, Fu Bi understood that this should be a way that suits everyone's wishes.

From the initial strategic planning, the division of labor among the various armies is very clear. What each team does and what role it plays at what stage is very clear in the entire grand plan.

Di Qing is clear, Zhong Zhi is clear, and Guo Kui is also clear.Gao Zunyu didn't know it at first, but when he was eager for quick success and quick profit, he went deep into the Xixia territory and was surrounded. Armaments to make up for his mistakes... It seems that his greed and aggressiveness caused the court to be so mediocre.

The reason why Wang Shao is not clear is because at the beginning of the war, the imperial court did not have much hope for crossing the Dangjin Mountain.When the Pianshi arrived in Suzhou, a big conspiracy was formed, and Wang Shao also understood it, but found that the role of the Pianshi was only peripheral...
At the same time, after moving thousands of miles away, in the campaign to encircle and suppress the Weifu Army Division in Heishan, he and Li Xianbu did not succeed immediately in the encirclement and suppression campaign, which led to the delay of the entire general offensive...
In the end, Gao Zunyu's department and Wang Shao's department, who contributed the most, inevitably had flaws, and there were omissions that were criticized by others...
The real main combat team seems to have no sense of existence in the early stage of the entire war, and they are all playing a supporting role. When the general offensive begins and all the encirclement and suppression teams are in place, even if the main combat team has played a role, it will be difficult for the entire war. The role in the middle will never be lifted to the position of the first work.

The big plan is to plan to destroy Xixia, but it inevitably involves all the generals, and all the factors such as the personality, combat style, role, and possible problems of the generals are all included. It's all taken into consideration.In the end, a war of annihilating the country without the first victory was formed.

There is no trace of everything, and the official style is consistent. Only when the plaque is finally unveiled, can all those who are in it really discover the ins and outs of the whole incident...

"Officials, inscriptions, and writers all need to have a list, and this war in the country is also a major event that needs to be recorded in the history books since the founding of the Song Dynasty..."

Fu Bi's meaning is very clear, offering sacrifices to the Taimiao and suing the ancestors is a must, and it is also a must to pass on the achievements to future generations.How to record, there must be a charter.

"Fu Xiang, open up some ideas, such as the classification of civil and military, for example, referring to the model of Jinshi imperial list, commending by grades and levels, and at the same time increasing the form of commendation and rewards based on the collective merit of the team, and can even be implemented in combat units such as Xiang and Du. .”
