Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 667: Restructure, focus—follow me!
Huo Qubing's practice lasted for two hours, and the energy in his body was flowing vigorously.

The secret patterns of the military characters that he comprehended, and the two original slips of Shang Shangce in the sea of ​​consciousness, were all drawing the aura of heaven and earth and integrating them into his whole body.

In the process of practice, Huo Qubing broke through the appearance of heaven and earth, entered the real world, tried to get closer to the 'source', and tried to touch that realm breakthrough that countless people dream of.

At dawn, Huo Qubing opened his mouth to receive Qi, as if the power of the stars had been absorbed into his belly.

He then turned to exhaling again.

In one breath, the practice is over.

The level of the Semi-Saint Summit is like a 'water cup' that is overflowing and cannot hold any more water at this stage.

Huo Qubing currently has two directions in which he can continue to increase his practice and break through to become a saint.

One is to expand the meridians after a period of accumulation, so that the 'cup' can accommodate more and more abundant energy of heaven and earth, thus breaking through the existing realm and entering another new world.

Another method is to draw the spiritual energy deeper in the real world, that is, to raise the quality of 'water' to a new level.

Both require time to accumulate until they come naturally.

Huo Qubing thought for a moment, his thoughts sank into the sea of ​​consciousness, and he blessed the several existing middle strategies with the war symbols rising from the ancient well, promoting them to the best strategies.

He counted his own military strategies and magical powers. If he knew all the magical military strategies contained in the book of sea warfare, there would be 36 strategies.Then there are seven strategies that have not yet been developed: throwing bricks to attract jade, hiding swords in smiles, pointing out mulberry trees and scolding locust trees, blooming on trees, stealing beams and replacing pillars, surrounding Wei to save Zhao, and falsely attacking Guo.

There are 29 military strategies that have been opened, of which [-] are the best.

"If you can open the next few military strategies and obtain all strategic magical powers of the Military Book, it will lead to the final changes of the Shihai Military Book."

In the sea of ​​​​consciousness, Gui Guzi suddenly said: "So far, the military strategist lineage can develop 29 military strategies, and you should be the first."

Huo Qubing smiled: "Too many tactics may not be a good thing, and more is worse than finesse. If it hadn't been for the military manual pushed out by Youshihai Gujing, I would not have tried to activate so many military strategies."

Then he asked: "What is the final change in the full opening of the Sea of ​​Knowledge and Military Art?"

"No one in the past has achieved the magical power of a military strategist. I just relied on my spiritual thoughts and the ancient well to deduce the conclusion through practice. It is probably related to the most core military strategist's edge and energy in the world!" Guiguzi explained.

Huo Qubing nodded slightly, stood up and left Jingxiu's study.

After practicing to his level, you can clearly feel that your inner world and the real world outside are influencing each other all the time.

He seemed to be a part of heaven and earth, yet independent from heaven and earth.

This is the state described in Taoist books, where the Tao is the Tao of heaven and earth first, and the Tao of heaven and earth is not.

The individual and the external world complement each other. Every time you practice, you will feel one step closer to the 'source' of the real world.

Twilight.

Huo Qubing came to Weiyang Palace to attend court, and after leaving the court, he walked to the government office belonging to Da Sima.

Although he has resigned from the post of Lang Zhongling, Da Sima is the top military general who has overall military power.

Horse, martial arts, general military affairs.

In the past, when he served as Lang Zhongling, Wei Qing was in charge of military affairs.

Huo Qubing will stay in the Forbidden Army Hall as a director.

Now that he has resigned as Lang Zhongling, and Wei Qing is not here, it is the first time he comes to the side of the front hall of Weiyang Palace, where the Grand Sima Gong, who is equivalent to the Third Duke, sits in the hall.

The Grand Sima Hall is adjacent to the Grand General Hall.

It is a palace with a square shape and a rather majestic appearance.

The general's office, the Grand Sima's office, and the prime minister's office, the head of the civil service, surround the main hall of Weiyang Palace in the east and west, symbolizing the civil and military accompaniment to protect the imperial power.

In the absence of Wei Qing, all military affairs related to the Han Dynasty must be sent to Huo Qubing for review.

The morning passed by in a hurry.

At noon, Huo Qubing looked at the bright sun outside the palace.

There are still piles of various memorials on the desk.

These include the output of gold and iron in various parts of the Han Dynasty in the first half of the year, how many war weapons, spears and armor can be produced, military expenditures, etc.

These are important matters directly related to the combat effectiveness of the Han army, and they must be brought to him for review and seal.

If neither he nor Wei Qing were here, the emperor would personally take over this part of the authority.

Because of the continuous war, we dare not be careless in terms of military preparations.

Huo Qubing stretched his waist and continued to deal with various official duties.

He came to the palace to sit on the board of directors, and the emperor was a little more relaxed.

By noon, Liu Che had finished approving the memorial early.

It happened that Dong Zhongshu, Taichang Zhou Ping and others came to start the performance.

The emperor smiled and said: "The chamberlain came to tell me early in the morning that Qu Bing has been the Grand Sima for three years, and today it is the first time for me to sit in the main office and review the affairs of the entire army.

I have been calculating all morning. I am missing about one-third of the martial arts here. Da Sima seems to be very efficient. You can come with me to have a look. "

It was rare that the emperor was interested, so everyone stood up and followed the emperor out of the study.

The emperor promoted the national destiny, concealed the aura of the group, and sneaked close to Da Sima's military office.

Huo Qubing's voice could be heard in the distance.

In the Grand Sima Hall, the doctor ordered Li Gan, the generals of the Forbidden Army, Fu Luzhi, Zhao Anji, Zhao Ponu and others stood in a row to accept questioning.

"The pension for the fallen generals under our imperial army is fifty dan higher than that for the frontier army. It was decided by Li Ganqian after he became the commander-in-chief."

"Yes... the general thinks that the Imperial Guards are the emperor's elite and are superior to the border troops in everything, so they should get more pensions." Li Gan glanced at his superior.

Huo Qubing was also looking at Li Gan.

"You have to feel that you are a Forbidden Army, superior to others, and compete for the first place on the battlefield, in military skills, and in combat effectiveness. Rather than occupying more casualty pensions, all those who died are Han soldiers, and pensions must be treated equally.

The Forbidden Army's life is important, but not the border army's? "

Huo Qubing's prestige accumulated in the army in the past few years was unattainable. He spoke calmly, but Li Gan felt cold sweat break out on his spine and repeatedly agreed: "The general has written it down. The general made a mistake in this matter." , I will ask for three months' salary as punishment when I get back." Huo Qubing hummed, then lowered his head and looked at the other memorial in his hand.

"Some places asked for more troops to be stationed, and the clan also sent me information. They wanted to send more Han troops to various imperial villages as guards, but they were all rejected. Not only were they not given additional troops, but the clan's authority to manage private soldiers was also reduced.

This matter must be strictly controlled, including the system of raising soldiers. I will inform Your Majesty later that it is not advisable to raise soldiers privately.

Why do the clans need so many soldiers and horses stationed there? "

Huo Qubing said solemnly: "Which branch of the clan will hand over any information about recruiting more troops? I will ignore it. If there are any problems, let them come to me."

Li Gan took a step forward and said with a grimace:

"Da Sima, I was the one who made the mistake. They didn't dare to come to you, so they came to me. They couldn't push this matter to the end, so they wrote the secret and presented it to you."

Huo Qubing raised his eyes: "Why don't you dare to come to me? I'm an unreasonable person?"

Li Gan, Zhao Ponu, Zhao Anji and others nodded together. After thinking about it for a while, they felt something was wrong and shook their heads together.

Li Gan made a gesture of wiping his neck with a knife, which meant that Da Sima, you turned your back and dared to kill the clan. The key is that it will be fine after it is over. If it were us, it would be over.

This cannot be said clearly, so the gestures need to be understood.

Huo Qubing waved his hand: "I will send someone to send this to the clan, so don't worry about it.

I asked you to come here because I have something to say about the arrangements for old soldiers and wounded soldiers after they are discharged.

Our army has been fighting for years, and pensions for soldiers who have been injured, injured, retired, and died have continued to increase. The national treasury has been burdened year after year, and military expenditures have doubled every year.The first report I read in the morning was the increase in military spending in recent years.

It was Li Xiang, Zhang Yushi, Sang Hongyang and several others who knew that I was coming to sit in court, so they signed it and had it given to me for viewing.

The problem of growing military expenditures and pensions has reached a point that must be solved. If we continue to hoard it, big problems will arise. "

He added: "My opinion is that the local army that has never been on the battlefield should be abolished in large numbers. At the same time, an internal army should be established to supplement it.

The so-called internal army is mostly composed of veterans on the battlefield who go to serve in local areas after retirement.

The original local army was composed of young and middle-aged people who worked hard and went home to farm, and were recruited into the reserve army during wartime. "

"This not only solves the problem of resettlement of old soldiers, reduces the burden on the national treasury, but also adds a group of strong laborers. The huge local military system that has been eliminated can be used to engage in production and strengthen our strong men."

What Huo Qubing was talking about was the direction of military reform, which was something he had been thinking about in recent years.

Replacing a group of local troops with veterans to work on agriculture is a combination of the military recruitment system and the government military system that is suitable for the feudal social system.

The advantage of this is that it curbs the shortcomings of recruiting purely professional soldiers to cause rebellion and unrest. At the same time, it does not have the problem of half-soldiers and half-peasants being part of the government army. If things go on like this, the problems of arms readiness will be slack and combat effectiveness will decline.

After the local army is dismantled, they will obtain land and become "small landowners". Many people will be very happy and readily agree, so it will not cause turmoil.

This also solved the problem of years of fighting and a vast territory with sparsely populated areas.

Of course, there are disadvantages, but weighing the pros and cons, it is still the best possible approach.

The DPRK and China have also been studying this matter recently, weighing the pros and cons.

The solution proposed by Huo Qubing is most suitable for the current Han army.

This is related to the fact that he was in charge of the Han army and had a better understanding of the Han army system.

What's more important is relying on the knowledge and experience from thousands of years later.

After he said it, it felt like the window paper was pierced. It sounded very simple.

In fact, the recruitment system and the government military system are the two general directions of the evolution and reform of the ancient army for thousands of years. Without the experience perspective of later generations, it is absolutely difficult to propose such large-scale reforms in the military system.

Huo Qubing proposed many military adjustment plans in succession in the palace and discussed them with the generals.

The emperor was listening outside, the corners of his mouth slowly raised, and he spoke to the left and right:

"Reducing the local army and relocating veterans who have been on the battlefield can enhance the cohesion between the DPRK and China.

The local army was dismantled and the land was distributed to calm the people. Everyone was happy.What the DPRK has gained is more stable public sentiment and public opinion.

Veteran soldiers can be properly resettled after retirement, and soldiers should serve more bravely on the battlefield. "

While analyzing, the emperor made the most important summary: "The ability to cure diseases and cure the army is with me. I have taught him this since he was a child."

Highlights - follow me!
The benefits listed above are to promote this last sentence.

Dong Zhongshu was an old admonisher and said with a smile: "The veteran thought about the meaning and found that the strategy proposed by the Champion King is indeed in line with His Majesty's method of governing affairs. It balances left and right and chooses the best. It is very similar to what His Majesty does and thinks. "

The emperor almost laughed out loud, turned around and walked back: "Go back, Da Sima has a lot to do, so I won't go in and disturb him."

Zhou Ping beat his chest secretly, Dong Zhongshu misunderstood me and stole my words. I was still thinking about what to say, but this old master spoke first.

A group of people followed the emperor back.

The emperor asked: "How are the preparations for the Zen ceremony being made when people from all over the country come to court?"

This is the scope of Taichang's authority. Zhou Ping said hurriedly: "My Han Dynasty belongs to 99 counties. There are more than [-] clans in various places. In the south, there are more than [-] tribes in Shendu. In the north, there are more than [-] tribes. In the west, there are the Mediterranean, Romans, and Germans. Macedonia and other vassal countries will come to court.

The farthest Germans have already set off, and they will arrive in Chang'an before the ceremony. "

"At that time, all the people of Chang'an will celebrate together and offer sacrifices to heaven and earth. It will be a grand event that has not been seen in thousands of years. Your Majesty knows it clearly!"

The emperor nodded happily and looked far away, as if he was looking at the mountains and rivers thousands of miles away from Chang'an.

In this land of China, under my rule, the civil and martial arts have reached their peak in thousands of years.

Who can match the achievements of the emperor in front of me? !
For a period of time that followed, the world was bustling, everyone came under the emperor's orders, and Chang'an became increasingly lively.

The grand occasion of congratulations from hundreds of countries is beginning to take shape.

At the Champion Palace, in the evening, Dong Zhongshu, Ru Bohu and others gathered.

"The Xi clan has placed people in my big man, including people around me. I couldn't separate myself before, so I gave the clues to Xiu Yi to see who was hiding in the dark. Is there any news?" Huo Qubing asked.

Ru Bohu said: "I came here just to talk about this matter. Do you know who I found?"

"All? It seems that many people have been found?"
