Better to live forever [Rebirth]

In the 27th year of Zhenyuan, it was April Xiaoman.

While fighting on the border was fierce, the Luojing Center was also in full swing. The cause was a series of measures reported by the Ministry of War to rectify the military affairs of Neizhou.

Chang Shouan, Minister of the Ministry of War, read out the rectification measures in the early court, and his determination to disarm and rectify is not weak.

First, half a year after the war, the imperial court conducted military inspections on all the garrisons in Neizhou, and those who failed to pass the test were abolished and released.For such cuts, ten taels of silver will be given.

Second, one year after the war, the generals and supervisors from all over the court jointly reported the disarmament list, and the wounded and sick were given ten taels of silver and released. Anyone with bad deeds was given five taels of silver and reported to the local government for supervision. Serious cases will be dealt with according to the Dajing Criminal Law.

Thirdly, after the disarmament, the armies will be divided into one or two according to the situation of each army. Every year around the winter solstice, the army will carry out a large-scale military exercise. The winner will be rewarded, and the loser will be punished. , it is proposed that the losers will be dismissed according to the rules.

"The atmosphere in the Neizhou army is poor because there is no battle or danger, the morale of the army is relaxed, and the army is tired and lazy, which breeds bad deeds. Even if there is ambition, there is nowhere to display it. Therefore, the Ministry of War recommends that the Neizhou army send a quota of [-] elite troops to the border every year. , honor and reward, so that the Neizhou Army will advance bravely. In addition, the Neizhou Army has too many soldiers, and excessive disarmament will damage the foundation of our Dajing. Therefore, the Ministry of War has been thinking hard about how to deploy the surplus troops. Now there is a way to appeal to the hearing .”

After promulgating three tough measures to implement disarmament, Chang Shouan continued to read.

All the officials raised their hearts. The first three resolutions seemed rigid, but in fact they were vague.If the imperial envoys and military supervising generals are to implement these decrees, there is a lot of room for maneuvering. There is still room for fighting for those who should be dismissed.They didn't believe that the Ministry of War made such a fuss with such a big fanfare, but now that they heard Chang Shouan's slow talk, they all knew that the main event was coming.

"We all know that Xianbei Mansion was originally the residence of various tribes in Xianbei. It was once as lowly civilized as the Xiongnu and Qiang, but with tyrannical force and strong physique. Although the number was small, the individual soldiers were strong, so that it became a big problem for our Dajing Army. Can't get rid of it. Now, our government is setting up a government in Xianbei, promoting administrative orders, and emigrating people into the government, but the people are still living in misery, thin muscles and bones, and weak physique. After the original Neizhou garrison moved in, they did nothing. Instead Because of the difficult conditions, rebelliousness breeds. The military department thought carefully about the huge difference between the former Xianbei and our Dajing Xianbei people, and they all mourned. The Xianbei Mansion was supposed to complete the Dajing strong army, but how did it become a place of decline?"

"The bitter cold in Xianbei Mansion is a place to exercise soldiers' minds. The diet of cattle, sheep and horses can also strengthen the soldiers' physique. The military department thought about it. After this battle, the agriculture and business in Xianbei Mansion were ruined. Countless people were killed and injured. Eight years of hard work We all need to start all over again. That being the case, why not let the land of Xianbei be used for what it should be used for? Soldiers will be replaced by migrants and moved into the Xianbei mansion, Xu Yiliang will be replaced every five years, and the soldiers will be trained hard."

"This order can serve multiple purposes. It can kill the dilemma that our Dajing Neizhou Army has nowhere to go. It can also strengthen our Dajing army to deter our strong neighbors. Train troops to prepare for war, and stop wasting military pay to support useless troops. Soldiers, the military strength is strong, the military spirit is clear, and the environment is safe and the people are protected.”

Before Chang Shou'an finished speaking, the whispered voices of all the officials mixed together, with disbelief on his face.

After the statement from the Ministry of War was finished, one person couldn't help but came forward and said, "Your Majesty has something to say, I don't know if it should be said or not."

"Speak."

Emperor Zhenyuan had to close his eyes, and his indifferent appearance made many officials who had different thoughts about this proposal not sure what he was thinking.

The person who appeared on the list was He Xianyi, the left servant of the household department. Among the six departments of the disarmament, the most able to speak was the household department in charge of military pay except the military department.After thanking him, he bowed to Chang Shou'an of the Ministry of War, and said: "May I ask Chang Shangshu, if this order is implemented, what will happen to the Zhu family's army stationed in Xianbei Mansion?"

Chang Shouan knew that this problem was unavoidable, but he didn't have enough weight to decide on this matter, so he said: "Zhu's army has been guarding our Dajing northern border for many years, and it does not conflict with Xianbei's training and relocation. What to do, there is also the responsibility of His Majesty." Judge, please be at ease, Minister He."

He Xianyi's next words were stuck in his throat, so he could only back away embarrassingly.

All the officials actually knew in their hearts that if the Ministry of War could read out the remonstrance in the morning, then this memorial must have passed the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor and the Military Aircraft Department, and it can only be discussed in the court if they at least acquiesce.

But this move is too bold, not to mention other things, how should the half of Zhu's army in Xianbei Mansion deal with it?

Can the Neizhou military transfer in the past support the overall situation in the northern border?If they can't stand on their feet, Zhu's army can't be mobilized at will, but let Zhu's army live with these strong soldiers, isn't it... too much hidden danger?

Everyone was wondering what the emperor was thinking, and at this time a third-rank minister came out to hold the wat and said: "Your Majesty, He Dingqi, head of the Ministry of Rites, the Minister of Rites, since the Xianbei Mansion has entered our Dajing territory, it is convenient to promote enlightenment and order the government of Confucianism. If it is still treated as a barren land, and the people drink blood, and the people are arrogant, otherwise, how can the land be counted as my Dajing? Please be careful with the Ministry of War."

"I seconded the proposal." Another person came out and said, "Zhang Tianqi, the right servant of the Ministry of Ministers and Officials, told His Majesty that the Xianbei government was finally established in Xianbei Mansion after untold hardships. There are less than a million people. If the huge Xianbei Mansion does not inject our Dajing migrants, but instead all move into the soldiers, how should we govern afterwards? Everyone knows that our Dajing civil servants will not interfere with the affairs of the army. If Xianbei Mansion becomes an army In Wuzhi, should the officials withdraw from Xianbei Mansion? Then how to control Xianbei? Is it possible to let these rough soldiers run amok in Xianbei Mansion? The Ministry of War, please think twice."

"The minister agrees..."

"Wei Chen seconded the proposal..."

Successive Ministry of Punishment and Ministry of Industry also appeared on the list.

Positioning Xianbei Mansion as a place to train soldiers is a great thing in terms of Dajing's military strength and national strength, and it can purge the Neizhou military style to the greatest extent.But there is also a great risk to be taken. The governance problem of Xianbei Mansion is a big problem at the top.

To manage a state capital, in addition to force to deter and ensure peace, more important is the administration of officials and laws.

Dajing has a clear distinction between civil and military affairs, and Xianbei Mansion has become a place for military camps, which means that the government is weak, and the law has to be relegated to military regulations and military laws, and the agriculture that the Ministry of Industry has cultivated in Dajing for so many years will also be abolished. The running water is also unsatisfactory.

All of a sudden, the hundreds of officials in the morning court were arguing endlessly, and this excitement quickly spread in Luojing City, and everyone talked about it.

In Zhenbeihou's mansion, just after lunch, the brothers from the Lou family, Qin Xi and Jia Jiaming came one after another.

Among the four, except for Qin Xi who strongly supported and supported the establishment of Xianbei Mansion as a military academy, the other three had concerns.

Lou Ankang said: "Although this will make the Xianbei Mansion useful, and can effectively restrain and promote the Neizhou Army, if His Majesty really does this, how will the Zhu Family Army deal with it? Wait for the first batch of people to train in three to five years." After coming out, I'm afraid they will all move back to the Liangzhou resident, right?"

He doubted that the Neizhou army could be trained into elite soldiers, and he was also dissatisfied with His Majesty's actions against Zhu's army's killing of donkeys—yes, Young Master Lou was almost sure that the emperor would not let this great opportunity go.

Xianbei Mansion and Liangzhou Mansion are the two most important border passes in Dajing, and they are now in the hands of Zhu Jiajun.

When the border crisis is imminent, His Majesty the Emperor can tolerate the Zhu family's army holding Dajing's safety, but when there is peace, it is not appropriate for the Zhu family's army to dominate these two places.Although Lou Ankang knew that in order to check and balance, Zhu's army would have to be included in Xianbei or a certain border of Dajing sooner or later, but he still felt a little bit aggrieved.

Lou Anning understands his brother's thoughts, but he is more worried about another aspect: "If there is no Zhu family army, who can deter these soldiers? The soldiers from Neizhou are no better at fighting than the frontier army, but they have a lot of crooked thoughts. Who knows that one day they will raise tigers to bite us back?"

Transferring Zhu Jiajun away, if what he guessed happens, it will be really dangerous.

Qin Xi argued: "Should we just let the Neizhou Army go on like this? It is said that wealth and wealth are sought in danger, so how can we not dare to take risks if we want to do big things! Besides, since we want to do this, of course we have to think of a way first Controlling these migratory troops will always have more advantages than disadvantages, and this move has great feasibility."

"Oh, stupid, things are not as simple as you think. Is it useful to show your bravery? You don't know if we have the ability to bear losses if something happens."

Lou Anning choked.

Qin Xi slapped the table and said: "Only you will think, what's the use of thinking so much, don't you need to do the thing in front of you? It's not started yet, just worrying about this and that, what can you expect to do if you are like you?" thing?"

"you--"

Jia Jiaming hurriedly stopped Lou Anning, glanced at Zhu Dingbei who was not too serious about the excitement, and couldn't help sighing: "The difficulty on Bingwu's side is easy to solve, but on the official side it's difficult. The land of Xianbei is encircled. Of course, the imperial court has to implement an administrative order to look forward to Dajing’s kindness. The current situation is that the previous efforts have been wasted, but it is impossible for civil servants to give up their actions on this land. They will not stand idly by when the army enters Xianbei. "

Those who serve as soldiers pursue military merits, while those who pursue literature pay attention to political achievements.

The Xianbei Mansion was included in the territory of Dajing, and the soldiers should have retreated to the Wenzhi, so that the civil servants could show their talents.

If you can make a contribution in Xianbei Mansion, it will be an achievement that will last forever for civil servants. How many people have worked hard for this. If it weren't for the crime of the former Xianbei State Shepherd Sima Yuqi, Xianbei Mansion has already been ruled by civil servants. Where can we go? Today's situation.

But no matter how difficult it is, the temptation of political achievements is too great, and civil servants will never give up this piece of land.

This is no longer an internal matter of rectifying the military affairs of Neizhou, but a civil and military dispute that has never happened in a hundred years in the Dajing Dynasty.
