Chapter thirty-seven, lie down
The rumor just spread, and the list of external releases was not yet decided, and the imperial guards were in trouble first. The protests, the relationships, and the jobs were changed, and the jobs were changed. For a moment, the demons were dancing around.
Unfortunately, these performances were in vain in the end. Under the pressure of the emperor, Duke Tang did not dare to favor personal gains at all. To be precise, he could not favor personal gains.
All the officers are related households. As long as he dares to open the back door, everyone will have a way to leave. Everyone runs to other yamen, so they can even let a ghost go.
If these guys are not sent to the local area, who is responsible for suppressing the rebellion and stabilizing the local situation?
Could it be that if we continue to rely on those army of rebellions that will continue to make good news and rebellion all day long, we will ask for money?
The more rebels suppressed the rebels, the more financial income of the court was getting smaller and smaller. Everyone knows what was going on. The lid has not been lifted because there is no better choice.
Although the Great Zhou Empire had a large number of rebels, the rebels that could move hundreds of thousands and millions did not exist. Because of the lack of high-end force, once the rebels grew, they would be beheaded by the court.
Even though they know that they can't stop it, the rebels are not stupid. Rebels with a little knowledge will limit their size to avoid attracting a thunderous attack from the court.
For large-scale rebellions, you can ask the Grandmaster of Jindan in the court, or even the primordial spirit to worship, and there is nothing you can do about it.
The master is not a cabbage, but the Great Zhou Empire is so vast that it is unreasonable that only a limited number of masters in the court can’t take care of it.
Under this background, what you need most is not an awesome commander, but countless middle-level officers with certain command capabilities.
Ninety-nine percent of the rebels, a thousand households and hundreds of elite soldiers, can handle them. Only less than one percent of the rebels are left, and tens of thousands of troops need to be dispatched to encircle and suppress them.
Although the abilities of officers in the Imperial Army are not very good, it depends on who they compare with. Perhaps there is a certain gap between them and elite troops, but they are definitely more than most local troops.
In theory, sending these people out of Beijing to suppress the rebellion is definitely the best choice now. Whether it will work in the end depends on whether everyone is willing to work hard.
It would be fine if the nobles were named in vain, but the power of the family was all subject to the court, so they dare not make any noise. However, the children of the princes who were actually enfeoffed were different. If they were anxious, they would just hang their seals.
...
There was a lot of controversy outside, but the two of them recovered from injuries were like nothing at home. They should eat and drink, and did not take the upcoming outgoing release seriously.
Seeing the two younger brothers lying on the rocking chair, Li Liang said with regret: "You two are so leisurely!
Do you know that the military camp is in chaos. Everyone is busy with activities and wants to stay in Beijing. You two are actually here..."
He couldn't even say anything at the end of his mouth, and Li Liang was obviously furious. As a well-mannered and mature and steady child, he really tolerated this kind of behavior of lying straight.
Seeing that the sixth brother was really concerned, Li Mu comforted him: "Liu Brother, don't be anxious! We don't need to do more in this matter at all, and the ending was actually already destined.
If the court is determined to solve the endless rebellion problems in the local area, it is only a matter of time before we can be transferred out of the capital.
The arms cannot force the thighs. It does not involve core interests. As long as the court is willing to show enough goodwill, the noble group will not force the emperor on this issue.
If the court's position is not firm enough, it will be just a test. As long as other people make trouble, the bureaucrats will give up.
Moreover, leaving Beijing now may not be a good thing. Next, the capital is destined to be a battlefield for reformists and conservatives. It is easy for us to stay here to be involved and be cannon fodder."
It’s not that the noble group is cowardly, but mainly because there are many relatives in the imperial guards, but few heirs. Most of them are sons with some ability at home, or sons who are favored.
The true inheritance was held in the six ministries, or to help the emperor and the cabinet, and to learn the experience of court struggles. The military camp training session was basically completed in the private army.
Since they are not heirs, they may trade them for the sake of family interests. Anyway, being exiled as an official may only affect your future career and will not take their lives.
In Li Mu's opinion, as long as the court does not use them as cannon fodder, the family will probably be happy to see it. Why not use the opportunity to train generals for their own family if they have the opportunity to use the court's hands?
Although we are officials of the court now, we will eventually go back in the future. There is no saying that the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty will die. At most, they must resign after seventy or eighty years of perseverance.
For local princes, unless their children can open up another fiefdom to further strengthen the power of the family, no matter how high they climb in the court, they will not be able to go back with all their abilities.
The fiefdom is not easy to get involved, and the emperor is not a fool. How could he enfeoff his territory unlimited?
Back then, the feudal system was played because the land area was too large and it could not be ruled at all. It had no choice but to rely on the feudal aristocrats to rule.
Even the royal family members do not want to obtain fiefdom now. Unless aristocrats in a certain fiefdom collapse, others have the opportunity to replace them.
This kind of opportunity is slim and requires the right time, place and people. If there is a slight problem with one link, all previous efforts will be wasted in the end.
This is also one of the reasons for the depravity of the Great Zhou bureaucrats. After all, if you don’t get any more benefits during your tenure, you will have no chance after you retire and return home.
Especially for beings like Li Mu who yearn for immortality, they must gain benefits. It is inevitable to dig out the corners of the Great Zhou Empire.
Li Liang was completely speechless about his thirteenth brother. He clearly had a lot of skills, but he became a playboy and became a salty fish without any fighting spirit.
In addition, the salted fish next to him were two salted fish. His brother was affected and he actually felt that his thirteenth brother made sense for the first time.
He rubbed his forehead and said with a suffocation: "You can't watch it either? Even if you are an official, you have to look at the place.
If you don’t go to Shangguan to move, what if you throw us into a remote countryside or a place where chaos is gathered, wouldn’t it be..."
Before Li Liang could finish his words, Li Mu interrupted directly: "No! Unless you offended people in the military camp these few days, we will never be worn by people.
The court not only wanted to choose a place that was acceptable for us, but also put us three brothers together. Not only were we three, but the children of the princes who were released were treated with preferential treatment.
The face of the princes is worth this treatment. If the emperor wants to continue the reform, he must show goodwill to the princes in various places.
Neither the reformists nor the conservatives in the court would provoke the princes at this time. Whoever is confused at this time will lose his life."
Whether they are willing to admit it or not, the vassal groups distributed all over the world now have the strongest military force in the world.
Perhaps a single prince cannot compare with the court, but the total amount is definitely not comparable to this ragged court.
The final analysis is that the princes from all directions have a sense of crisis, worried that they will be replaced, and dare not relax the development of their own strength, but the Great Zhou Empire was released for nine thousand years.
Strength is the right to speak. The call for the reduction of the vassal states has appeared in the court since the establishment of the Great Zhou Empire. It has been shouted that there has been no actual action until now, which is enough to illustrate many problems.
With such a huge armed team under his rule, if it weren't for the national destiny link and he was sure that the princes would not rebel, he would probably not have the intention to sleep.
Glazed at Li Mu, Li Liang said helplessly: "I can't tell you. Anyway, you can do it. Don't regret it if someone wears his shoes.
Although I haven't offended anyone outside, don't forget that there is another young master in our family who causes trouble.
I thought you two were the ones that could be the most troublesome, but I didn’t expect that if you compared them with him, they would be completely different.
It is said that the matter this time was proposed by him to the emperor. The specific situation is not clear yet. Anyway, I know that many people are unhappy with him.
Although we have never contacted each other in Beijing, it is not difficult for those who are interested to find out that he is from the Marquis' Mansion.
If I had known that he could do so much, I wouldn't have let him out of the house at the beginning, nor would I have been so passive now."
There is everything in the world, but there is no medicine for regret. But if you want to encircle the protagonist, you are dreaming in the daytime.
If you release the house, you are just trying to do something outside. Most of the unlucky ones are others. If you stay at home, it is purely your own family’s unlucky ones.
For example: The unlucky scholar who was sacrificed was a typical example of not knowing himself. He was obviously limited in his own strength and dared to go to be a master for the protagonist, but it turned out to be a cold.
After a little thought, Li Mu shook his head as if nothing had happened: "If this is the case, then there is no need to worry about it."
There are many people who are unhappy about him, and there are also many people who are willing to sell his face. The commander of the imperial guards, Duke Tang, happened to be a reformist, and he had to leave some face to his own people.
But in this way, our brothers will probably have a hard time going on. Not only will they appear on the first wave of external releases, but they may also be used as a typical example for publicity."
Frankly speaking, Li Mu really wanted to say to his cheap ninth brother: He did a pretty job. Just as he was thinking about leaving Beijing, the opportunity came to him.
Although it may be targeted by public criticism, high risks will lead to high returns. Once it becomes a typical example of the imperial propaganda, at least it will be promoted to two levels and get the position of a sixth-rank captain.
If you are lucky, you might be able to go to a small county to serve as a county lieutenant from the fifth rank, or a local garrison officer of the same rank.
The higher the starting point, the more convenient it will be for the next step. It is worth offending his colleagues for this. Anyway, the Great Zhou Empire is so huge that it is unlikely that everyone will encounter it when they arrive in the local area.
