Chapter 0761: The Future of the Army
Li Yi had previously told himself that Li Hui planned to resign from the position of governor of the capital.
The reason is that the body can't support it.
Later, Zhang Xingyi also analyzed a wave with himself.
In the end, it was concluded that no matter whether Li Hui's health was really bad or not, in the next two or three years, the replacement of the governor of Nanzhong was almost a foregone conclusion.
The reason is also very simple: in order to better govern Nanzhong.
Li Hui was originally a person from Jianning, and now he is both the governor of Nanzhong and the Taishou of Jianning, which has violated the principle that local people in Dahan are not allowed to serve in their hometowns.
It's just that at that time, Nanzhong was newly determined, and the prime minister of the Han Dynasty made an exception for the sake of Annanzhong's heart of Hanyi.
Now Nanzhong has not only settled down, but even has output.
The stakes are becoming more and more significant.
The copper mines and sugar alone were enough for the imperial court to strengthen its control over Nanzhong.
"Li Dudu's body, what happened?"
Feng Yong asked with concern.
Interests belong to interests, even if there are no interests, Li Hui, as the adult of Li Yi, Feng Yong is supposed to call Uncle Li.
More importantly, Li Hui, as one of the main contributors to the pacification of Nanzhong, also helped the Han Dynasty stabilize Nanzhong after the war, and also actively helped raise a lot of military funds during the Northern Expedition.
In the past few years, the Xinghan Society has been able to expand smoothly in Nanzhong, and Li Hui has helped a lot in the middle.
In terms of affection and reason, public and private, Feng Yong has to express his concern for this great Han hero.
"Over the years, my lord has been entangled in military affairs, fighting non-stop, and he has tried his best to govern Nanzhong, and his energy has become increasingly unstoppable."
Li Yi's voice was a little low, and the worry on his face was finally no longer concealed.
"When I went back to visit my lord, he told me that he had been sick twice this year, which was unprecedented, and that he had been feeling weaker and weaker recently."
Feng Yong nodded, "Governor Li has worked hard for the country for so many years, not only to fight, but also to consider pacifying Nanzhong, which is very hard. ”
"Exhaustion of the heart is the most consuming of people's spirit and blood, dragging down the body, and the south is hot and humid, and there are many miasma, and the disease is easy to invade the body."
When people reach old age, they usually look mentally healthy, but they must not get sick, because if they get sick, they are likely to collapse quickly.
What's more, the medical and nutritional conditions in this era are really poor.
"Since Governor Li feels that his body can't support it, it is a good choice to resign from the post of Governor and do his best to do his mundane affairs to support his life."
When Feng Yong said this, he couldn't help but glance at Li Qiu.
At that time, Siniang analyzed and told herself that Li Dudu's resignation may not have been discussed with the prime minister in advance.
Now it seems that she has indeed been right.
Li Qiu can become the Taishou of Jincheng, in addition to considering that the captain of Huqiang is himself, I am afraid that the prime minister will also compensate Li Hui.
So this move can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
The careful calculation of this prime minister of the Han Dynasty is really the same as always, and it has never changed.
Li Yikou said: "What my brother said is very true, the water and soil in Nanzhong are indeed not suitable for raising people, and my brother is not in harmony with adults at this point. ”
"So I want to move to Hanzhong to recuperate after my resignation."
Feng Yong raised his eyebrows.
Well? Hanzhong? Not Jincheng?
After retiring, the important ministers of the Han Dynasty either returned to their hometowns because of the kindness of the countryside.
Either stay in Jincheng, after all, you have never been far from the political center.
Li Hui took the initiative to move to Hanzhong, which is a little strange.
Feng Yong instinctively felt that something was not right, but he couldn't think of anything wrong.
Where's my concubine?
Thinking of Siniang, who was far away in Pingxiang, Feng Junhou had to ask, "Why Hanzhong?" ”
"Maybe the adults plan to put the focus of our Li family on Hanzhong?"
Li Yi said with some hesitation.
His own family is now prominent, and Li Yi also has a mirror in his heart.
In his opinion, in addition to the physical reasons, there may also be the meaning of retreating bravely.
In the coming years, it is likely that there will be some turmoil in Nanzhong.
Although it was not as unstable as a few years ago, the strengthening of the imperial court's control over Nanzhong was bound to cause some people to be uneasy.
The adults put their focus on Hanzhong, just in case.
Li Yi can say this to this point, which can be regarded as his extreme trust in Feng Yong.
As for Zhao Guang being able to hear this, it was purely to see Feng Yong's face.
Hearing Li Yi's conjecture, Feng Yong bowed: "It makes sense." ”
However, it can also be seen from Li Yi's words that Li Hui did not explain everything to Li Yi at all.
Li Hui resigned, and it was true that his body couldn't support it.
But he wants to go to Hanzhong to recuperate, and Feng Yong is not sure if there is any cat in it.
After all, the old demon Zhuge is in Hanzhong.
But if you can't figure it out for the time being, you don't want to, Feng Yong's eyes fell on Li Yi and Li Qiu.
The second-generation figures of the Li family in Nanzhong are all close to him, and it is impossible for Li Hui to harm his own son and nephew.
So I don't have to worry too much about it.
Thinking that Li Hui was going to Hanzhong, Feng Yong suddenly smiled again, "It's good that Li Dudu goes to Hanzhong to recuperate, but it also saves me a worry." ”
Looking at the questioning glances cast by the three of them, Feng Yong explained:
"Actually, I already had a plan, that is, to build a martial arts hall. Pick out some talented young soldiers from the army, as well as academy students who are interested in joining the army. ”
"Let experienced sergeants train them, and invite some veterans to give lectures."
"After these students come out of the lecture hall, they can directly fill in the tun chief sequence of the Huqiang School Governor's Mansion as a backup."
"This martial arts hall, at the beginning, I planned to build it in Nanxiang, and last year the Huqiang School Governor's Mansion was set in Pingxiang, so I wanted to build it in Pingxiang."
"I've been wavering for this, but now it's finally settled, let's build it in Nanxiang."
Feng Yong looked at Li Yi with a smile, "The climate in Nanxiang is better than that of Longyou, and it can also allow those veterans in the army to get better rest." ”
When Li Yi heard Feng Yong's words, his heart jumped: "Brother wants to make adults ......"
"Yes! Li Dudu guarded Nanzhong, had many military exploits, and was a rare general in the army. ”
Feng Yong first praised it, and then continued, "Besides, there is a medical school in Nanxiang, which is the best place for recuperation in Dahan. ”
"Li Dudu went to Nanxiang, you can get the best recuperation, if you have time, or if you are in the mood, you can go to the martial arts hall to give a lecture."
"It's also great to talk to those students about the conquest of the year, and have someone to chat with them, and feel a lot more comfortable."
Li Yi said gratefully, "Brother has a heart. ”
Because my brother said this very sweetly.
Heroes are not allowed to see white heads, for fear of being lonely and unknown.
I went back to see the adults this time, and between the words of the adults, there were already many sighs of emotion.
It would be a good thing if you could recuperate and have someone to chat with you and untie your knots.
"I'm selfish." Feng Yong waved his hand, "I'm just Tu Li Dudu, I can mention those students." ”
Li Yi smiled, "My lord is just looking for someone to chat with and talk about his past war, and I think I must be willing." ”
Listen to what my brother means, and the students who come out of the martial arts hall in the future will not start low in the army.
Then it will naturally be easier to get ahead than others.
These people, no matter what, will inherit a love from adults.
That's enough.
Anyway, the adults didn't plan to write a military book, and then hide it in the family and not pass it on to the world.
It's just that Li Yi still has one last question in his heart: "Brother, will the imperial court agree to this martial arts hall?" ”
In fact, what he wanted to ask more was, did the prime minister agree?
Feng Yong smiled slightly.
"Wen Xuan, the position of captain of the Qiang Guard, has the right to command the army alone, and he also commands all matters of Yongliang Qiang Hu, which can be described as a high power."
"And I was only twenty-two last year, and I was able to hold this position, do you know why?"
Li Yi opened his mouth, and then frowned again.
"Naturally, my brother has worked hard and served the public, and he has a great prestige among the tribes of the Longyou Hu people."
Zhao Guang said without hesitation on the side.
Feng Yong glanced at Zhao Guang.
How can I answer what you say?
Should I do it, or should I not?
If you should be, will you be thick-skinned?
"Brother thinks, is there another reason?"
Li Yi just opened his mouth, in fact, he also wanted to say this.
"Yes." Feng Yong nodded, "The prime minister also talked to me at that time. ”
"The prime minister said that in the past ten years, the Han Dynasty has lost generals and ministers, not to mention Qu Chang, Tun generals, etc., there are nearly 1,000 people, all of whom are elite."
The loss of Jingzhou and the defeat of Yiling really almost drained all the vitality of the Han Dynasty.
"The battle of Longyou, although it is said that the soldiers used their lives, but it is also a Tianzuo man, so there is such a big victory."
Although there was a big victory for Longyou, Feng Yong knew one thing, that is, Zhuge Old Demon was not very satisfied with the Northern Expedition soldiers in private.
The reason is very simple, except for the Hubu Army led by him personally, as well as the Nanxiang Army led by himself.
The remaining soldiers, from top to bottom, were far from meeting the requirements of the military order.
Ma Yan, Li Sheng, Huang Xi and others are among the representatives.
Military discipline and orders are not clear, generals are inexperienced, and officers and men are prone to a complete rout at critical moments, and so on, the problems are extremely prominent.
Li Sheng defended the city and fled without a fight, and Ma Jian led the army, which was crushed at the first touch.
More importantly, after a defeat, the soldiers will no longer record each other, the soldiers will not see the generals, they will not see the soldiers, and they will all compete for their lives.
Therefore, after the end of the Northern Expedition, Zhuge Lao Demon vigorously promoted a group of generals who performed well in the Northern Expedition, such as Jiang Wei, Liu Yin, etc.
At the same time, it has also stepped up the training of non-commissioned soldiers, vigorously trained soldiers in martial arts, and strictly enforced military discipline.
In addition to the credit, part of the reason why he was able to open a government and lead the army at such a young age was because of the fault and shortage of generals in the Han Army.
"In this Northern Expedition, many generals in the army have been promoted."
Speaking of this, Feng Yong glanced at Zhao Guang coldly again.
Zhao Guang shrunk his neck.
He was ready to be scolded by his brother.
But the elder brother didn't mention him: "But the elite in the army can't become an army overnight." ”
"In the past, it was only through constant conquest that the elite could be selected from the pile of dead. But in the two battles of Longguan and Jieting, I proved to the prime minister that there is actually another way to train elite soldiers. ”
Li Yu and the others all knew what the method Feng Yong was talking about.
"But brother, this method is extremely expensive, even if the big man has the heart, I'm afraid he can't afford it."
"Elite, how can the cost not be high?" Feng Yong sighed, "No one dares to expect that the Great Han Army is full of elites. ”
"So this martial arts hall, the prime minister only gave a name, which is under the jurisdiction of the general, but the cost is up to the Captain of Huqiang to figure it out."
After all, the students who came out were all enrolled in the army of the Captain of Huqiang School, and the expenses must be paid by themselves.
"General? It seems that there is no one in the position of general in Dahan now, right? ”
Zhao Guang muttered.
Feng Yong couldn't help but glared at Zhao Guang.
Do you think if I don't scold you, you can start jumping?
Zhao Guang retracted into his chair again.
It's just that his words reminded the other two.
Not to mention Li Yi, it's Li Qiu, hearing Zhao Guang's words, his heart jumped suddenly!
General?
What does it mean that the prime minister let the lecture hall belong to the name of the general?
The special status of the general is not something they can think about too much.
It stands to reason that the Tai Lieutenant among the three dukes of the Han Dynasty was the supreme military commander of the Han Dynasty and was in charge of the military affairs of the Quartet.
Responsible for the assessment of all ** officials, at the end of each year, the evaluation rank, and the emperor, as the basis for the promotion and demotion of officers.
However, after Emperor Guangwu reduced his power, the three dukes of the Han Dynasty: Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong, although nominally the highest official position, had no real power.
Above the three princes, there was originally a prince and a prince, who was the prince's teacher.
After the crown prince ascended the throne, most of the princes would record Shangshu affairs, which was regarded as the actual prime minister.
It's just that after the middle of the Later Han Dynasty, the Empress Dowager was in charge of the system, and most of her relatives were ruled by generals, so Taifu gradually became an honorary position.
So up to now, the three positions with real power are: General, Great Sima, and Prime Minister.
Now there is no one in the Han Dynasty to serve as the Great Sima or the Great General, and there is only one Prime Minister.
"Ahem! Let's talk about Wutang," Feng Yong coughed, interrupting the thoughts of several people.
"Who is in charge of the martial arts, that is something that the prime minister has to consider. But the prime minister has indeed promised to open a martial arts hall in Nanxiang. ”
It doesn't really matter whose name the martial arts belong to.
The most typical ones are like the official positions of Shizhong, Shangshu, and Yushi, which nominally belong to the Shaofu, but in fact they are court officials.
In particular, the Zhongshu Decree of the Former Han Dynasty and the Shangshutai of the Later Han Dynasty were the central and powerful institutions that handled government affairs.
Although it is under the name of Shaofu, in fact, it is directly under the emperor, or the ministers who hold real power must receive Shangshu.
"Since the elder brother has already arranged it, the younger brother will naturally try his best to persuade the adults to give more lectures in the martial arts hall, which can be regarded as doing his last modest contribution for the big man."
Li Yi hurriedly said.
The lecture hall under the name of the general, and its students are in the army led by the elder brother, do you still need to hesitate about such things?
Seeing that his brother had finished talking to Li Yi, Zhao Guang said with a little twist: "Brother, little brother...... The younger brother actually has one thing to ask for. ”
"Want to lead troops?" Feng Yong squinted at him and asked.
"My brother still knows my heart!"
Zhao Guangda said happily.
Scold!
Feng Yong sneered.
I can know how many fancy intestines you have in your stomach, and I need to know your heart?
What's more, you don't even have a fancy intestine, just a special rectum!
"You were the first to follow me, how many things have I taught you? How many times have you been reminded? Well? ”
"Look at Liu Hun, they are all marquis, what about you? I can't even keep a general's number! Now you still have the face to tell me that you want to lead the troops? ”
Zhao Guang shrunk into a ball.
This scolding, after all, still can't escape.
Looking at his appearance, Feng Yong wanted to make a move.
It seems that it is not for nothing that Old Man Zhao likes to teach his son with sticks.
Feng Yong gritted his teeth and said, "Let me ask you, when I asked you to learn more from General Zhao and General Ma, how much did you learn?" ”
"Learn ...... I learned a little, but in the past few months, I have been preparing to get married, so I delayed it a little. ”
Zhao Guang said hesitantly.
Seeing him like this, Feng Yong finally couldn't help but get started.
"How dare you delay! Do you know that Old General Zhao has said that he is going to teach Liu Hun the tactics of cavalry warfare! ”
Feng Yong hit his head and face, punched and kicked, beat and scolded, "You are the son of the old general, do you want to lose to an outsider!" ”
Zhao Guang whined and cried out aggrieved: "Adults have never loved me!" ”
"You don't care if he loves you or not, you have to love him! If you don't love him, how can you learn to ride the army? ”
Feng Yong hated that iron could not become steel.
The news came from Nanzhong and Pingxiang, and Huang Yueying, a national-level technician, finally made the water drain reappear.
Water drains and blowers for iron smelting, the quality and quantity of refined iron will rise explosively.
Armored riding is no longer a dream.
But now that he doesn't even have a cavalry general on hand, how can Feng Yong not be anxious?
Liu Hun is always going to be transferred back to the Longyou Governor's Mansion.
And Feng Junhou was not so generous, and gave the armored horse he had spent a lot of money to others to use.
The only thing that can be counted on is Zhao Guang.
"It's okay to lead the troops, Lao Tzu only has cavalry at hand now, do you want it?"
Feng Yong asked angrily.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Zhao Guang hurriedly agreed.
"When will you learn to lead the cavalry?"
"When the little brother returns to Pingxiang, he will learn immediately, and he will definitely let the adults teach me!"
"If you can't learn, don't even think about leading troops!"
Zhao Guang let out an "ah", his face full of resentment: "My brother doesn't love me anymore?" ”
"Get out of here!"
