"Can't you see something in that?"

The above is the supervision system of the Song Dynasty in another time and space, Liang Xu just wants to learn from it, but he will not copy it, the Divine Domain cannot become the Song Dynasty, in that case, the Divine Domain will soon be defeated in the future.

"Young God Lord, this is not an instruction, but let us refer to it. ”

Zhou Tianci expressed his opinion, he is a civil official, he feels that the thing of the young god lord is too shocking, and it is restrained at all levels, and the final power is all concentrated in the hands of the god lord, so what power do they have in the future.

But it is indeed a good thing for the Divine Domain, at least there will be fewer officials who do evil in the Divine Domain in the future.

"This is something that has happened, so you should think about it, this is for the sake of our God's Domain for thousands of years. ”

The Divine Domain does not seem to be a country at all, but rather the Zhou Dynasty in Chinese history, the Zhou Dynasty is the suzerain, and the other surrounding countries are vassal states, they are nominally subordinate to the Great Zhou Dynasty, but they have a lot of independence, maybe when the Divine City will become theirs.

Many city lords don't listen to greetings at all, they can do whatever they want on their own territory, how can this work!

First of all, a set of supervision systems must be established, of course, Liang Xu just asked them to sort out a set of such things, and they will implement them in the future anyway.

An old prime minister was the most suitable candidate, because he had been restricting the power of officials, and even wrote to Liang Poyu to ask him to take a way to replace those city lords who had too much power.

And the people here are all picked up by Zhou Tianci, and Zhou Tianci has the same mind, when they are people, Liang Xu will not think that they will be loyal, but he knows that they can't say it casually to outsiders, otherwise they will die.

"Zhou Xiang, a few of you are the people my father values the most, so this matter is not known to outsiders, you must carefully discuss and work out a charter, this is related to the future of the God Domain, please be careful!"

These words made Zhou Tianci and several of his subordinates feel more energetic, and what Liang Xu said touched them too much, after all, these are all of them.

"Don't worry, we will live up to the expectations of the Lord and you. ”

Liang XuSome people can give them money, some people need to give them names, and some people just need to give them respect.

For example, Zhou Tian gave them these people, fame, fame and fortune, ordinary things can't make them willing at all, but it's okay to show respect.

For example, no one else knows about this, but it was secretly handed over to you?

Why is that?

That's respect!

Everyone else is not as good as you, you see that no one else knows, Dan Dan told you, you said, doesn't this mean anything?

So the first genius they are now full of confidence.

Liang Xu left, he still needs to meet someone else, this person is his grandfather.

"Grandpa and uncle, what are you doing here, hurry up. ”

Seeing Liang Xu and a few people hurriedly saluting, they were also people who had been outside, but now they have become so pedantic.

"Etiquette can't be abolished, this is the Divine Domain, not the outside, the old man can't control what is going on outside, but if you are in the Divine Domain, you can't ignore all of these!"

All right!

Liang Xu didn't know what to tell them, this is their insistence, some people you don't understand, because this is the insistence in their hearts.

I think that some people watch revolutionary films now, and they don't understand why many of their ancestors would rather die than give in, and what they are for.

For the belief in the heart, these things are incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Of course, the belief of his grandfather and uncle is to be loyal to the Divine Domain all his life, and the person in front of them is not only his grandson (nephew), but also the Young God Lord of the Divine Domain, and the education they have received since childhood is loyalty.

The object of their salute was not Liang Xu, but his identity.

"Okay, you're also people who have been outside, why are you so troublesome!"

"Xu'er can't talk nonsense, that's outside, the old man is only kneeling for the young god master, this is what your Liang family deserves, so you don't have any worries, and this is faith, once faith collapses, then is there any need for the existence of the divine domain?"

Well, Liang Xu didn't think about this, if his faith collapsed, it was indeed a more serious matter

"Okay, Grandpa and Uncle, I asked you to come here to discuss, how to take over the military power from the city lords from all over the country, this matter is very important, there are no outsiders here now, I want to hear your opinions. ”

Previously it was for the restriction of officials, but now it is for the sake of military power.

"The god lord also said about this matter, Xu'er, you know how the Song Dynasty implemented highly centralized military power outside, right?"

Grandpa asked.

Liang Xu nodded.

In 960 A.D., Zhao Kuangyin was inspected in front of the palace of the Later Zhou Dynasty to establish the Great Song Dynasty, and after Zhao Kuangyin became emperor, in view of the recurrence of the situation of the five generations of warlords in the late Tang Dynasty, in order to prevent the Zhao and Song regimes he had just established from becoming the sixth short-lived dynasty after the five dynasties, he took measures to strengthen the centralization of power.

He adopted the suggestion of his adviser Zhao Pu and formulated the policy of "seizing his power slightly, controlling his money valley, and collecting his elite soldiers, so that the world will be at peace", and implemented a series of strategies from the central court to the local government, which finally stabilized the situation of the nascent Great Song Dynasty.

In particular, Zhao Kuangyin himself was born as a military general, so when he implemented centralized power, he attached great importance to military power, prevented military generals from supporting their own troops, and cut off the military power of local envoys, making envoys a kind of title, and successfully prevented and eliminated the threat of military generals to the new regime.

How did Zhao Kuangyin concentrate military power, which is mainly divided into the following aspects

Zhao Kuangyin was born in the forbidden army and was the supreme commander of the forbidden army, and he was also worried that the people below would follow suit, so he decided to remove the military power of those forbidden army generals, which is the famous cup of wine to release the military power.

"History of the Song Dynasty" Emperor (Zhao Kuangyin) said, "I am not as good as Cao, but I am the Son of Heaven, but if I am happy for the festival, I have not tasted the rest of the night." "Trustworthy and waiting, he said, "Today's fate has been decided, who dares to have different intentions, why did Your Majesty say this?"

The emperor said, "Who doesn't want to be rich and noble?" Once you have a yellow robe and your body, although you don't want to do it, you can get it?"

Trustworthy and other Xie said, "The minister is not as foolish as this, but His Majesty mourns." "The emperor said" Life is too good to leave children and grandchildren in the field house of the city, and the singers and dancers to live all the time. There is no suspicion between the monarch and the minister, and it is not also good. ”

Trustworthy Xie said, "Your Majesty thinks of this, the so-called life and death are flesh and bones." "Tomorrow, they will all call themselves sick, beg for military power, and the emperor will obey them. ”

Zhao Kuangyin coaxed and frightened these generals in this way, and relieved them of their military powers, gave them a festival to make them retire, and the forbidden army was firmly in the hands of the emperor by him, and the position of the palace was no longer set up.

The Song Dynasty divided the whole team into four parts: the forbidden army, the box soldiers, the village soldiers and the Fan soldiers. The township soldiers and the Fan soldiers are similar to the militia, and the box soldiers and the forbidden army are the regular army, but the forbidden army is the main military force of the Song Dynasty, the elite of the elite, and the forbidden army is responsible for guarding the Beijing division

The mission of defending the Son of Heaven and going out to fight. Both the Forbidden Army and the Xiang Army were recruited, but the Forbidden Army had the right of first choice.

The Song Dynasty also attached great importance to the forbidden army, and implemented the policy of "guarding the inside and outside, and controlling the internal and external aspects" for the forbidden army, stationing half of the central army and half of the local station, so that the central government could be diligent when there was something to do, and the central government could calmly quell the rebellion if there was something in the locality, but in fact, more than half of the forbidden army was stationed in the center.

The forbidden army was large in number and well equipped, and the soldiers were better paid. The combat effectiveness was also stronger than that of the local army, which made the Great Song Dynasty have a strong army.

Establishment of the Privy Council

Zhao Kuangyin served as the front of the palace inspection, after becoming the emperor, this position is not set up, the commander of the forbidden army, divided into three, the front of the palace is the commander of the guards, the pro-army, the horse army is commanded, and the guards are the commander of the pro-army and the infantry army (respectively called the palace marshal, the horse handsome, the step marshal, collectively known as the "three marshals"), respectively.

The power of the commander of the forbidden army was divided, and the "three marshals" were three-legged, and some people with relatively shallow qualifications and easy to control were used to serve them. Moreover, a Privy Council was set up, and the three commanders were only responsible for the management and training of the forbidden army, and had the right to command the army but not the right to transfer troops.

The right to mobilize the forbidden army belongs to the Privy Council, which has the right to transfer troops, but does not have the right to command troops. They are not subordinate to each other, they are responsible to the emperor respectively, and everything is under the emperor's orders. In this way, power is once again concentrated in the hands of the emperor!

Zhao Kuangyin strictly ordered that "the battalions of the world, vertical and horizontal interaction, transfer and stationing, do not always be in one place, so it is bad for its murderous scheme." ”

Under the pretext of Xi's hard work and rest, the Beijing division and the garrisons in other places were stationed at different locations. Generals were also frequently mobilized to form a situation in which "generals do not know soldiers, soldiers do not know generals", and "soldiers are impermanent and handsome, and commanders are impermanent", and they can no longer form the soil for the formation of five generations of warlords, and can only obey the orders of the imperial court in the end.

The art of raising war "can benefit hundreds of generations, but only soldiers." Fang is hungry and hungry, there are rebels but no rebels, and unfortunately there are rebels but no rebels. ”

Zhao Kuangyin's words directly set the tone for the Northern Song Dynasty, raising soldiers is conducive to the country, especially in the year of famine, the imperial court went to the disaster and famine, recruited those young and strong people as soldiers, and the rest were almost all old and weak women and children.

In the year of the harvest, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and even if there was a mutiny in the army, they could only be isolated. Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin said that the strategy of raising soldiers is a good thing for a hundred years.

Zhao Kuangyin and his later rulers practiced a highly centralized military power, firmly holding the military power in the hands of the imperial court, which was undoubtedly a good thing for the imperial court, eliminating the military base formed by the local warlords, removing the threat of military generals to the imperial court, and the imperial power was proudly stable.

It also maintained the rule of the Song Dynasty to a certain extent, maintained social stability, and strengthened its military strength.

Of course, there is a downside to this

Maintaining a large army and surging military spending has caused great financial difficulties for the government.

The number of forbidden troops was about 1.93 million at the time of Zhao Kuangyin, 3.58 million at the time of Zhao Guangyi, 4.31 million at the time of Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, and 8.26 million at the time of Renzong, and the box army also increased from 1.85 million at the time of Zhao Kuangyin to 4.33 million at the time of Renzong. The surge of the army has brought financial pressure.

As a result, the burden on the state is getting bigger and bigger, and the people are getting poorer and poorer.

"When used at the age of one, the cost of raising soldiers is always six or seven, so that one-sixth of the world's things, five points for raising soldiers, and one point for the suburban temples, how can the country not be poor, and the people will not be poor. ”

The army's combat effectiveness has declined, and military power has been excessively concentrated, resulting in the alienation of officers and men, the low combat effectiveness of soldiers, the lack of effective training for soldiers in peacetime, and the fact that the local army cannot be used for combat purposes at all, while the forbidden army, because of its superior conditions, has prompted it to be rapid.

As a result, this army that was able to fight well in the founding place of the Song Dynasty gradually lost its combat effectiveness, and it was repeatedly defeated in foreign wars.

In order to make up for the serious deficit in fiscal revenues and expenditures, huge expenses were passed on to the common people under the pretext of raising taxes, which forced the peasants to revolt.

Although the policy of raising troops and the strict prevention of peasant uprisings did not form a large-scale peasant uprising on a national scale at that time, compared with the previous dynasties, the peasant uprisings of the Northern Song Dynasty were not only numerous and wide, but also ran through the entire dynasty, such as the Fangla Songjiang Uprising.

Therefore, strengthening military power is only a measure to strengthen the centralization of power in the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin's original intention is good, but in his time, it is also necessary to centralize military power, which is determined by the surname

However, the monarch of later generations has been consistent with this policy, which has caused all kinds of drawbacks, caused consequences in the eyes of redundant soldiers, and even finally dealt a devastating blow to the military of the Great Song Dynasty, which seems to have done more harm than good.

Therefore, the centralization of military power in the Northern Song Dynasty did more harm than good or outweighed the losses, and it was indeed beneficial to the rule of the Zhao and Song dynasties at that time, but for a long time afterward, it had a negative impact on the entire Northern Song Dynasty.

These Liang Xu knew very well that this was also an important means for the Song Dynasty to end the division of feudal towns, and since then there have been no more powerful local generals, because they have no way to control military power.

The current Divine Domain is very similar to that before the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, and the city lords in various places hold the military and political power, which is similar to the festival envoys at that time, so this is still of reference significance.

"The strategy implemented by the Great Song Dynasty is good, but we must learn the lessons from it, and we can't repeat the mistakes of the past, but the city lords in various places can no longer control the military power. ”

Taking history as a mirror, this is the most important function of history, history can provide a reference, so that future generations can learn lessons from it, this is the moment!

The measures implemented by the Song Dynasty were good, but the release of military power with a glass of wine did not work here.

Could it be that Liang Poyu directly invited them to drink could make them voluntarily give up power?

If this was really the case, it would have been done a long time ago, and it would have been necessary to wait until now, so the situation here is even more difficult than that of the Great Song Dynasty at that time, but it still has to be done.

If you don't do it now, it will be even more troublesome in the future, Medical Immortal City has already handed over all the power to Divine City, and now it's up to everyone else.
