, that is to say, do you have any opinions on other things?" Lu Zhaoci even smiled half-smilingly, but he had never thought that military reform could be so simple and so easy for all ministers to do.

It passed. Which reform in history was passed so simply? It must have gone through many bloody baptisms before it could be fully implemented in the country. Because every reform will involve this

Or is there such a conflict of interests that there will be compromises of one kind or another during the implementation process? The terms of these reforms are always completed in constant compromises. The military reforms of the Tang Dynasty involved the land system, military honors and titles

The arrangements for the court's taxation and other aspects are not simple matters. One move can affect the whole body. Even Lu Zhaoci has to be careful, for fear of destroying the good situation in front of him. Lu Zhaoci is His Majesty the Emperor, but

Faced with such a situation, we must also listen to the opinions of the ministers to see whether it is appropriate to carry out military reforms.

"Your Majesty, although the name of our country is called the Tang Dynasty, and there is Emperor Gaozu above you, in fact, your Majesty is the founding monarch, and the founding monarch has supreme majesty. What your Majesty said is originally a law.

Later generations of monarchs will obey. His Majesty once told ministers that history can serve as a guide to the rise and fall of dynasties. Today, the Holy Emperor is on the throne, and everyone in the world praises the Holy Emperor. Therefore, when the Holy Emperor gives an order, the world responds to it, and countless people join the army. On the battlefield.

Above, everyone bravely stepped forward to kill generals and perform meritorious service, hoping to achieve meritorious service and obtain land. Because of this, every time His Majesty launches a foreign war, many people are excited about it. The last battle of Shengzhou, fifty

An army of ten thousand was gathered in just one month. From this, it can be seen that the so-called army without people is a fallacy.

That Xue Rengui's worries are simply unnecessary." Master Cui Rengui showed a hint of disdain on his lips and said with a smile: "If he doesn't have other plans, it's just unfounded worries. I think there is no need to consider this kind of thing."

"The founding monarchs of previous dynasties were able to be founding monarchs, on the one hand, because they established the country, and on the other hand, because they set an example for their successors, that is, to be as wise and powerful as the founding monarchs. The founding monarchs not only had to serve

The dynasty he belongs to is responsible for and must consider this issue for his descendants." Lu Zhaoci said with a smile: "The Han Dynasty lasted more than 400 years, which can be regarded as a long-lived dynasty in the history of China, but

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was the Yellow Turban Rebellion. The reason for this was, of course, the corruption of the government, the treacherous ministers in power, and the constant natural disasters, but the more important point was the annexation of land. After the people lost their land, they had no food to eat.

, so they would rebel. At the beginning of the United Kingdom, this kind of problem would not have arisen, because on the one hand, they jointly attacked the powerful, and the aristocratic families in various places also cooperated quite a lot, so they had a lot of land in their hands, and they gave it to the common people, and to those who

The meritorious soldiers, on the other hand. The war in the late Sui Dynasty killed one-tenth of the world's population, and a large amount of unowned land was owned by the imperial court. But what about ten years later? In the peaceful and prosperous era, the population will surge.

By then, land annexation will be inevitable, and a large number of people will become slaves of the big landlord class. Not only will the court's taxes be reduced, but more importantly, as long as there is an opportunity, these people who have lost their land will

It will be like a spark, spread rapidly, and form the situation at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty will also disappear in the long river of history. Unlike Qin Shihuang, the Lian Dynasty tried to make himself

The imperial dynasty lasts for thousands of years, and even rules the whole of China forever. Lian has never thought about it this way. Cui Qing, among the aristocratic families in the world, there is a famous saying that there are only a thousand-year-old families, but no thousand-year dynasties. A dynasty does not have a thousand years.

, but I just want this dynasty to last longer. If you want to last longer, then all the systems must be complete. Only when the system is complete, future generations can follow the rules and act according to the rules.

.Talk about the Xuande Hall! Was there such a situation before the alliance? The power of the emperor and the power of the Xuande Hall check and balance each other. The Xuande Hall will first make a conclusion on the major events of the world. After adhering to the emperor, it can be promulgated to the world; the emperor's

The imperial edict was also discussed through the Xuande Hall before being promulgated to the world. The prime minister's power checks and balances each other within the Xuande Hall, the imperial power checks and balances the prime minister's power, and the prime minister's power affects the imperial power. In this way, even after the alliance, there are unfilial descendants who ignore the government affairs, or in other words, a

You are an ignorant and ignorant king, but as long as the institution of Xuande Hall exists, the various institutions of the empire can continue to operate." Lu Zhaoci's words are not unreasonable. Historically, this was the case for the special dynasty of the Ming Dynasty. How many emperors did the Jiajing Emperor do?

I haven't been in court for ten years, but the empire still continues to function. This is one of the examples.

Ju Wen and others heard the words but stopped talking. What else could they say? Lu Zhaoci clearly wanted to be a wise king who would succeed the world. What he did was not for himself, but for future kings.

Considering this, everyone was speechless, especially Master Cui Ren, who looked even more embarrassed. Although the saying "There is only a thousand-year-old family, there is no thousand-year dynasty" is very popular among the family, in fact, it is not

It's ironic that these aristocratic families always only consider the interests of the aristocratic family and forget the interests of the country at critical moments. And he, Cui, is one of them.

"Your Majesty, the population of our dynasty is still small now." While we continue to wage wars, we must take into account the farming season. If your majesty is too cunning and deploys a large number of standing troops, I am afraid that our dynasty will have a shortage of prime farmers, affecting the farming season and affecting our dynasty's development.

Grain reserves will have a huge impact, and they will also have a great impact on tax collection. If there is a famine or something in the coming year, it is more likely to affect our dynasty's income. The former Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty took this opportunity to make a government plan.

The military system ensures that both the war and the farming season are not delayed. Your Majesty, the army is placed in the farming season and the military and farming are integrated. In this way, not only the farming season can be delayed, but the war can also continue. Isn't it a strategy that has the best of both worlds? Why bother to set up a large-scale military system?

What about the size of the standing army?

"Xuan Ling's meaning, Lian has not not considered it," Lu Zhaoci said with a smile: "The imperial army system is advanced to a certain extent, and it has promoted the prosperity of the empire to a certain extent, but Xuan Ling, not

Do you know if you have done the math? Can this plan of the former Sui Emperor Wen be really implemented? For example, the Zhechong Mansion soldiers within 500 miles of the capital should be divided into five divisions according to the system. That is to say, each Mansion soldier has an average of 100 troops per year.

It is not enough to stay in the capital twice. Each trip lasts for one month, and there are an average of seventy and two days per year. This does not include the journey. The journey is calculated as walking fifty miles per day, and the two round-trip journeys require more than forty.

Days, in a year, the total time spent on the attack is nearly four months. In addition, it takes a certain amount of time for the army to attack Zhechongfu. This cannot not affect production. The so-called "three

It is difficult to farm at one time and teach war at the same time. From this point of view, there is a contradiction between farming and war within the government military system."

"This?" Fang Xuanling's expression changed. He didn't expect Lu Zhaoci to be able to do this. It hit his Achilles heel. Although Lu Zhaoci's move was a bit arrogant, he had to admit it.

, Lu Zhaoci knew the Fubing system better than he did. Take a look, just by saying it casually, he was speechless and directly pointed out the mistakes of the Fubing system.

According to Lu Zhaoci's analysis, the Fubing system contains idealistic meanings. This is wrong in itself, so how can it be passed down for eternity? Although Fang Xuanling is also a wise man, but in terms of

With his understanding of logical reasoning, how could he be Lu Zhaoci's opponent? His face turned red when he was told that, and he no longer dared to speak.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers of the government are scattered all over the country. They come and go as soon as they are called. After every victory in the war, the swords and guns are put into the treasury and the horses are released to Nanshan. This is an act of prosperity and will be passed down to all generations." Du Ruhui said with cupped hands.

: "The reason why this government soldier became a government soldier is because he served as a soldier in the state capital where he was located. When the war broke out, troops were sent out for a collective in the name of the state capital where he was located. For example, the Jinhe Army was named after Jinhe

Soldiers are composed of their own sons. In this way, the contribution of these soldiers on the battlefield is directly linked to the treatment enjoyed by their families. If there is a deserter, it will be easier to find the deserter's family and punish him. As for other military achievements, the pension will be settled.

It's also very easy. What's more important is that these people train in various places in their free time, which is very convenient. The only people who can train them are the captains of each county. Once the war breaks out, these captains will be the generals of the government.

The troops are brought to the battlefield and commanded by specialized generals. In this way, there will be no danger of generals seizing the troops as their own and becoming private soldiers. This can also maintain the stability of the army and the stability of the empire. If your Majesty follows

What I said is that it is easy to form generals and special forces, and it is easy to have an impact that is not conducive to the court. Please be aware that Du Ruhui did not say what he meant. But in fact, everyone here is smart. Why don't you understand?

The meaning is just to remain silent, everyone looked at Lu Zhaoci, waiting for Lu Zhaoci to speak.

Didn't Lu Zhaoci start his career with Zuo Huwei's army? He has achieved a career as an emperor. In the future, if elite soldiers are selected, this situation is not impossible. With these hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in hand,

It means that half of the empire is in the hands of generals who have trained troops. If they want to rebel, it is probably not a difficult thing.

"Anyone who dares to rebel will be punished by my troops." Lu Zhaoying on the side snorted coldly.

"The bravery of King Liang is unparalleled. What's more, with the Holy Emperor here today, who would dare to rebel? The world is so big, how many brave people can be as brave as King Liang?" Wei Ting said, lowering his head.

"Wei Ting, what do you mean?" Lu Zhaoying's expression changed when he heard this, he stood up, his eyes widened, and shouted angrily: "You mean that the monarchy of the Tang Dynasty is not as good as the previous generation." He only felt a murderous aura.

He burst out of the air and covered Wei Ting.

"I don't dare, I don't dare. Wei Ting turned pale with fright. To be honest, that's what he meant. You know, there are very few people as brave as Lu Zhaoying in the world. Like the children of the clan, because they are royal, they enjoy

After a few generations of endless glory and wealth, how can they still have the spirit of their ancestors' entrepreneurial days? Not to mention the bravery and bravery of Lu Zhaoying, even the blood and spirit of Lu Zhaoying are very few.

"Get up!" Lu Zhaoci said calmly: "Even among the people, there is a saying that wealth cannot last more than three generations, not to mention the emperor's family. After decades or hundreds of years, the children of the clan will have long been accustomed to living a life of wealth. How many people there are?

Disciples like Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu can remember how their ancestors overcame all obstacles to create the emperor's career today, not to mention that in the future there will be disciples of the clan who will fight hard on the battlefield. The Yan Emperor of the period is a good example. The former Sui Jianguo

It didn't take long before he was defeated by Yang Guang. Although what Wei Qing said was hard to hear, it was not unreasonable. "Get up."

"I thanked Your Majesty. Wei Ting turned pale with fright. He quickly thanked Lu Zhaoci and quietly retreated to the back of the crowd. He didn't have the energy to look for loopholes in the military reform. It was good to just save one life.

"The Alliance established a General Staff Headquarters at that time, with General Li Jing as its auxiliary. Over the years, the General, in his spare time, compiled a book called the Infantry Drill Code, and another book called the Cavalry Drill Code. Today the Lianhe

I brought it here and passed it on to you for a look." After saying this, Lu Zhaoci clapped his hands and saw Qin Jiudao leading several eunuchs, holding a tray in his hands, with several books placed on the tray, which could still be clearly seen.

I smell the aroma of ink in it.

"Take a look." Lu Zhaoci pointed to the books and said. The ministers did not dare to neglect, so they quickly took them over and flipped through them carefully. They saw that there were detailed instructions on how to practice, how to set up camp, and for command.

I took a closer look at the various flags. Although they are written in great detail and there is nothing special about them, they are easy to understand. It is a unified operating model. It can be said that following this operating model, one can indeed practice

An elite army can make all the armies in the country look the same. Of course, this is just the foundation of an elite army. If you want to become an elite army, you still have to go through the baptism of battlefield fire and have famous generals.

With proper training, you can quickly become an elite army.

"The most people who can train to control the army is just a captain, but the generals who command the army are appointed by the court. Generals do not specialize in troops. Soldiers are not constant. Generals have this unified operating model. Let them practice regularly so that they can become

With the foundation of elite soldiers, as long as war comes, these soldiers can adapt to a general's combat methods in just one month, and those generals can also become familiar with the soldiers under their command in a short period of time, so that they can quickly form combat effectiveness. Love you all.

Sir, I'm afraid that the time it takes to form combat effectiveness will not be faster than the time it takes for the imperial soldiers to gather!" Lu Zhaoci said with a smile.

Lu Zhaoci's move was based on the experience of the emperors of the Song Dynasty, but it was different from the Song Dynasty. In order to prevent generals from dedicating troops to troops, the Song Dynasty established a situation in which generals did not specialize in troops and soldiers did not specialize in generals, which separated generals and soldiers from each other.

If they are not familiar with each other, they will not be able to form private armies and avoid the existence of separatist regimes. Those armies are actually in the hands of the generals at the bottom, and there is no possibility of rebellion at all. Although Lu Zhaoci’s actions are inconsistent with this

The same, but it also has its own uniqueness, that is, it does not interfere with the general's combat strategy, and the training methods of armies across the country are actually similar. As long as the generals have been familiar with it for a period of time, there will not be much difficulty in commanding it.

After the war is over, military power is taken back or the leading generals are transferred, so that there is no possibility of the generals having exclusive power.

"I heard that some generals in our army beat the soldiers frequently in order to seize the belongings of the lower-level soldiers. Some even beat them to death and then annexed their belongings. Hey, now, our army is

It is a standing army. Everything about the officers and soldiers is issued by the imperial court. The discipline in the army is strict. Look at how those vicious generals record the low-level soldiers." Lu Zhaoci's eyes flashed with a coldness.

Li Wenwen and others looked at the books in their hands, with a look of inexplicable expression on their faces. Lu Zhaoci had thought everything through, even to avoid the situation where some generals had the potential to lose their power, and what else?

Is there anything that cannot be dealt with? Everyone looked at Feng Wenwen. Even Changsun Wuji glanced at Feng Wenwen as if nothing was happening. Now everyone has taken action and all kinds of excuses have been found, but

None of them impressed Lu Zhaoci. Emperor Zhenguan had obviously made up his mind to implement military reforms in order to continue his Lu family.

"Your Majesty has great talents and great strategies, and he is able to pacify the world and defeat the Turks because he has a powerful army. With this powerful army, we are what we are today. It is conceivable that in the future, Your Majesty will also conquer the Western Regions and pacify Goguryeo and even Silla.

These all require a strong army, so the idea of ​​establishing a standing army put forward by His Majesty is based on this." Feng Wenwen organized the language a little and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know if you have calculated how much it will cost to establish a standing army.

A large amount of money is needed every year to support this powerful army. There is a limit to the imperial court's annual taxation. It consumes a lot. To support such a huge army, Your Majesty, this will be a huge burden.

, As time goes by, I am afraid that as the number of soldiers increases, the imperial court will be so exhausted that even the Ministry of Household Affairs will not be able to support it! Your Majesty, please be careful.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this. He was indeed the wisest man in this dynasty. He got to the point right away. Setting up such a huge standing army requires money, but there is no money in the dynasty. If you don't have money, look at your majesty.

How to set up a standing army. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and had a smile on their faces.
