The emperor was already thinking about the future military reform, and the ministers who accompanied him were still discussing practical issues.

Liu Yu's meaning is to hope that the imperial court can treat Dace Ling Dun Duobu with sincerity, and it is obvious that he is inclined to appease the quasi-minister.

But this appeasement is not the previous appeasement, but to make the quasi-ministry must be within those immutable frameworks.

The accompanying ministers also presented two very different opinions.

The quasi-part is like a flash in the pan, but after all, there is an example of the civil fort of the previous dynasty.

Liu Yu knows that the era of nomadic tribes has passed, and history can be used as a mirror, and no one dares to guarantee that these nomadic tribes will make a comeback, because the era of nomadic tribes has not yet passed in the "known history".

In the face of opposition, Li Gan was afraid that the discussion would not be intense enough, and said: "Zhuqing, be quiet, the so-called employment is not suspicious, and the suspicious person is not used." Since Dace Ling Dun Dobu revealed this intention, I would like to discuss it in detail and personally untie it in order to restrain him. Let him return to the quasi-ministry and convince Gardanze Zero. If this matter can be resolved in this way, it can be regarded as the virtue of God's good life, and it can also save the treasury millions of taels of military spending. ”

"Besides, if the Western Regions want to be stable in the future, the current balance cannot be interrupted. Liu Yu also said that the strength of the quasi-department, in addition to the military horses of the headquarters of the quasi-department, is more important than the Yarkand south of the Tianshan Mountains. There are oases, where food is grown, there is industry and commerce, and there are gold mines. ”

"In the battle of Lake Yamesh in the past, the Quasi-Department captured many Westerners. Westerners not only can cast cannons and open mines, but also spin wool. In Yarkand and other places, there are now many workshops that spin wool wool. In exchange for money, firearms are purchased. ”

"If the quasi-ministry is just nomadic, there is nothing to fear. If the quasi-ministry submits, then the Yarkand, Kazakh, Uzbek and other ministries will no longer obey the orders of the quasi-ministry. There are not many soldiers and horses in the headquarters of the quasi-department. Liu Shouchang can defeat it once, he can defeat it several times, the army is here, even if he lets it return, and has a rebellion, what is there to fear? ”

"Da Ce Ling Dun Dob, a famous general. Liu Shouchang, a fledgling junior. He takes military training as the top and the battle as the bottom, and if he can win, how can others not win? What are your concerns? ”

Li Gan was very inclined to Liu Yu's opinion, mainly because he was familiar with the Mongols, and the capital was very close to the Mongol tribes in southern Mo.

For those who are entangled in the White Mountain Sect and the Black Mountain Faction, they are very unfamiliar.

I asked the officers of the Hanaifei faction in the Shaanxi and Gansu regions, or some Jinshi officials of the Green Sect in the DPRK and China, and they did not have a good impression of those Baishan and Black Mountain factions.

After the ministers considered it, someone said: "The ministers think that although the Mongolian tribes are divided, they will eventually be united. The Khalkha Division, the Dzungar Division, the Southern Mongolia Division, and the Turghut Division in the Rakshasa in the west. If these parts are combined, the threat is the greatest. ”

"As for the Yarkand, Kazakh and other departments, although they are entangled and different from the customs of the Central Plains, they cannot be twisted into a rope after all. There is no need to worry about the reappearance of most of Mongolia across the Volga River, the Western Regions, Mobei, and Monan. ”

"If you think about it in the long run, it seems that it is still to exterminate the quasi-department, and introduce Yarkand, Kazakh, Bukhara and other departments to enrich the Western Regions. In this way, the Western Regions can be divided into balances, and Mongolia can be divided, making it difficult to become a climate. ”

"If the Western Regions are in my hands, Mongolia will not be able to become powerful. The Western Regions were always in danger in the hands of the Mongols. ”

Liu Yu's recital is extremely opposed to this, and there are many examples listed in it.

As for Mongolia, although there are concerns, it is also clear that the lesser of two evils is the lesser of two evils.

The Yellow Sect is always easier to control, and Buddhism has been introduced to the Central Plains for a long time, and it can always communicate.

Of course, there is a more extreme way, that is, the imperial court threw out tens of millions of taels of silver and immigrated from Huguang, Shandong, Henan and other places.

This is definitely better, but the imperial court can't come up with so much money, so this method is a fantasy, so it's better not to mention it.

The ministers are also old-fashioned, Li Gan thought about the four words that Liu Yu often said, "The times have changed", and said with a smile: "Zhuqing takes history as a mirror, but he doesn't know how to change the stars." ”

"The Western Regions that I want is not a feudal land, not a capital protectorate, but a province that will be immigrated to in the future. The Mongol tribes, Monan has been subjugated for a long time, and the Khalkha tribe has surrendered due to the threat of the quasi-tribe and the rakshasas. ”

"Since I allowed him to continue to believe in the Yellow Sect, and I have not made him believe in the Orthodox like the Rakshasas, and I have a reward every year, why don't I accept it if I don't accept it as the Rakshasa does to recruit the cavalry of the Turghut tribe to fight in Europa? What the rakshasa can give, I can give; What the rakshasa can't give, I can give. ”

"The affairs of Mongolia have not been Mongolian affairs since then, but between the dynasty and the Rakshasas. If the country is strong, Mongolia will be stable; If the country is weak, Mongolia may be in chaos. If the country is weak, why will Mongolia be in chaos? So it doesn't have to be considered. ”

Besides, even if they are not convinced, times have changed. If there are 20,000 Qingzhou troops, the Mongolian steppe will run rampant. Several fortresses have been repaired from the difficult river to the Altai Mountains, what else is there to fear? ”

If it was in the past, the opinions of the ministers, the emperor felt that it was still reasonable.

But now the Qingzhou Army has made a result that no one dares to believe, and the leader of the troops is still a chick who says that he is the best in training and the most in battle all day long, and he has always said that "the army with a system and the generals can be changed at will".

Judging from the battle report on the fold, this battle was also uneventful.

To sum up, Da Ce Ling Dun Dobu did not make any mistakes, and the strategic deception in the early stage, the tactical mobilization of troops, and the grasp of the timing of the assault can all be called superior.

However, if you can't break through the phalanx, what can you do?

This is like a child who has practiced countless techniques, facing a 200-pound strong man who has never learned martial arts, his eyes are full of flaws, but what is the use?

The emperor has the heart of military reform, and the future he envisages is also considered in terms of the strength after the military reform.

The Rakshasa people are poor and shabby, and the population is not large, they can occupy so many bitter cold lands and press the Turkut tribe, why can't the national dynasty?

With the fortress as the lock, the main road as the chain, and the pure firearms troops like the Qingzhou Army that can fight on foot and fast to maintain the absolute advantage of suppressing whoever is strong.

Rather than worrying about the re-emergence of Mongolia as a great threat across the Volga River to the Heilongjiang River, it is better to worry about the speed of missionary work after the balance of the Western Regions is upset.

After considering this, several ministers who supported this said, "The ministers seconded it. If His Majesty insists on this, it is not appropriate to use the Altai Mountains as the boundary between Khalkha and the Quasi-Ministry. If it is like a province under heaven, there shall be no natural obstacle as a provincial boundary. ”

"The Khalkha and the quasi-ministry have a long-standing grudge, and if the Altai Mountains are used as the boundary, the contradictions between the two sides will be reduced day by day, but they may become close after many years. If it is not bounded by the Altai Mountains, but some pastures are given to the north of the quasi-department, so that it will be intertwined with the canines of the Khalkha tribe and balance each other. ”

"In addition, build cities and reclaim in places such as the Buyantu River and the Kobdo River, and garrison three or two thousand soldiers who can fight, so as to make the boundary between Khalkha and Dzungaria."

Li Gan nodded and said, "This old man is planning for the country." In the past, it was difficult to harvest planting in that area. Now Liu Yu has visited those Rakshasa people and sorted out rye, oats and other crops that can survive and grow in the bitter cold land, which can be garrisoned and cultivated. ”

"The experience of the previous dynasty, this guard system, it is not possible to use it for war, and it will inevitably erode for a long time. If it is like the government soldiers of the Songhua River, Liu Yu also said that there is no government soldier who can fight for a hundred years. But it can be used to reclaim the land and defend the border. ”

"They don't need to fight, as long as they have some training. And the elite soldiers stationed there are rotated every five years. ”

"In the past, there were not enough elite soldiers, but now if the Qingzhou Army is fully exercised, there will be no shortage of elite soldiers. After the various Mongolian tribes were divided into feudalism, they could also pull out thousands of herdsmen, and the strength of one regiment was enough to suppress them. ”

"Zhuqing must remember that the northern border trouble of this dynasty is no longer Mongolia, but Rakshasa. Mongolia can't train the Qingzhou Army, but the Qingzhou Army is a division from Xiyi! The frontier must not be empty. Otherwise, it's the slave who does everything. ”

It cannot be bounded by the Altai Mountains, this is indeed something to consider.

The guard system of the previous dynasty does have a lot of experience to learn from.

It is definitely not possible to fight a war, but for example, it is very good to defend the border and reclaim the famine.

The problem with the guard system is that the soldiers have become serfs, and the soldiers have not been able to fight, but they have to be made into petty nobles. For example, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, the good family of the Han Dynasty, the old five battalions of Dashun, the most ordinary one has a few dozen acres of land, not to mention that it is far worse than the nobles or the squires economically.

But politically it is an aristocracy, the sons of the Han Liang family can be appointed officials, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can make military achievements, and they do not need to take the imperial examination, but have another shortcut outside the imperial examination, which is a privilege.

What Li Gan is considering is to open a school and expand the basic market and talent reserve, so that he can follow the example of the camp of the good family of Wuying.

It's just that the treatment is definitely much worse, that is, learning to read and count, reusing the three-rounding method, doing practical learning, and even saving fasting education, and it doesn't cost much money a year.

So that the frontier guard army also has a "shortcut" to become a Lang official, or a way to become an official outside the imperial examination.

Considering that Wuying Liangjiazi is the basic plate, this should also be done slowly.

Liu Yu's meaning is that officers of various branches such as artillery, navy, and engineer are still selected and filled by civilian children other than those of good families, and Wude Palace still has to retain enough places for good families to avoid too much opposition, and then slowly do it in the future.

Grass-roots officers should raise their salaries, so that an officer in charge of 100 people like the general guard can be regarded as a decent profession, rather than Qiu Ba, so that more jobs can be provided.

If there are many positions, there will be people who want to learn and want to be officials.

The merit system was changed to a military rank system, retaining some of the merchandise that soldiers could get, and taking out another part to change it to military rank, so that the treatment was linked to the military rank.

In this way, the officers above the regimental level are filled with sons of good families and noble children; The officers below the regimental level are mainly civilians, new guards, and government soldiers, which are infantry cavalry.

Artillery and sappers are mainly the children of civilians, and the best personnel are selected.

In the future, another discipline was opened, and some officials were selected, such as customs, etc., to slowly break the monopoly of the imperial examination, and to boil frogs in warm water, with the help of the existing gap in the Wude Palace, like a bursting, breaking open little by little.

Don't occupy the original turnip pit, dig a new turnip pit.

Dig a hole from the officer first, spend some money, and make being an officer also a decent career, not a contemptuous title like Qiu Ba.

In the future, there will be more talents, whether it is an inventory of acres or a strict inspection of taxes, this money will definitely be earned.

Just like now, if it can be solved smoothly, the military expenditure of the level can save several million taels. After the reform in the future, there will be fewer soldiers than before, and the money will still be the same, so the salary will also be raised.

This is a complete set of changes in the military system, and it is also the root cause of Li Gan's belief that it is completely acceptable to submit to the quasi-subordinates.

The Qingzhou Army has demonstrated its strength, which means that the military strength of the Central Plains and the frontier will become bigger and bigger in the future.

Since most of the Qingzhou Army was trained in two years, such "elite soldiers" can be mass-produced in the future, and the advantages of the Central Plains can only become bigger and bigger.

The best soldier is the one who produces energy.

And in order to save money, there can be no fewer soldiers, but not fewer officers.

As long as there are enough qualified officers and enough money, a large army can be pulled out in two years, and if Dashun is short of soldiers, then the countries of Europa will not have to fight.

Li Gan considered that the matter of the quasi-ministry should be resolved as soon as possible, so he took out some of the military expenses he had saved.

Part of it is to fulfill the promise made to Liu Yu at the beginning, invest a sum of money to try out a new school in Jiaodong, and invest a sum of money in the navy.

The rest can be used for immigration expenses.

Don't exterminate the quasi-tribe first, but keep them to balance the power of the Western Regions, and after ten or twenty years, there will be more immigrants, so there is no need to worry.

If you can smoothly transition this most dangerous decade, you can save a lot of money.

In this way, it seems that it is more cost-effective to make the quasi-subordinates surrender, and it is more beneficial in the long run, and it is more economical in the short term.

Who knows if the people of Yarkand and other departments will take the opportunity to rebel once the quasi-ministry dies.

They are not only against the Ministry of Quasi-Ministers, but against everyone in the Western Regions, Li Gan's mind is still sober.

After arguing for a while between the ministers who supported and opposed, someone finally revealed an "international vision", in view of the news brought back by the Rakshasa of Qi Guogong and the trip to France, as well as Liu Yu's brief examination of the countries of Europa, etc., he said: "The minister thinks that there is still a point of truth in His Majesty's idea of letting the quasi-subordinates submit so as not to break their muscles and bones. ”

"If the quasi-tribe dies, in addition to the Yarkand, Kazakh and other tribes, we must also consider the Turghut tribe far away in the Rakshasa. If he learns that the Quasi-Department has fallen, and the Rakshasa is oppressive and ruthless, and it is also the Warat Department, he may be able to come back. If it returns, it will be another quasi-department. ”

"Now if the quasi-ministry is here, it can not only ensure that the situation in the Western Regions will not be chaotic, but also balance the situation, and the garrison of the country and the DPRK can control it; It can also make it impossible for the Turks to return eastward, and see our court's 'magnanimous and broad' behavior, and in the future, the Rakshasa will suppress it very hard, and he can also turn his heart to me. ”

"Liu Shouchang fought in the Altai Mountains, and the Rakshasa people also accompanied him to observe. After this shock, although we did not dare to move lightly against our DPRK, and when the matter of the Polish throne was in a chaotic battle in Europa, the matter of the demarcation of the western front was definitely retreated. However, he can also see that the nomadic tribes are vulnerable, and they will inevitably be squeezed even more in the future, which is also beneficial to our dynasty. ”

"The rakshasa is a great calamity in the north, so that there are people within it who have the heart to worship me, and this is also a good thing."

Li Gan was greatly relieved and praised: "This sincere statement. In the Three Kingdoms, there are both Wuhou Qi's capture of Meng Shu, and I can also follow suit. ”

"Even if you can defeat it once, now that the army of the Western Road has come out of Luntai to build a city, and Liu Yu has crossed the Altai Mountains to seek opportunities in the Irtysh River, even if the Great Ce Ling Dundobu has changed his mind after returning, why should I be afraid?"

"The matter was decided. As soon as Dace Ling Dun Dobu came, he greeted him with courtesy and showed his sincerity. Untie him and make him return to Ili to persuade the quasi-department. ”

"We have to talk about ourselves, but we can't stop fighting."

In the end, the board was made, and the ministers who accompanied the car no longer refuted. According to the emperor's wishes, he prepared to meet and meet the alliances after the surrender of the quasi-troops in the future.

If it can't be done, sort out the charter first and prepare early.
