Meng Tian went home to change his homework...... Well, after changing the book, Meng Yi finally relieved his anger after catching up with his son with a sword and hair in the back garden and beating him, and after washing and changing clothes, he wrote a few letters and arranged for the servants to send them out quickly.

If you want to completely remove the eldest brother Meng Tian from this matter, it is not enough to rely on the Montessori alone, under the suppression of the two important ministers of the right minister Feng Quji and the imperial history of Cheng Feng Zai, the first emperor will definitely not last long before he will start to deal with the Western army, and the Montessori must find enough helpers.

And as a difficult brother, Di Daohou Li Xin and Yinshan Hou Jianghu's clansmen are Meng Yi's first choice, and there are some other generals who serve in the Western Army, such as the principal, Shi Shi, etc., are also involved, although these people's families are not as prominent as their Meng's family, but there are still a few ancestral military generals and children of the Hou family, and they can be called together to discuss countermeasures.

The letter sent by Meng Yi was quickly answered, and the families of several Western Army generals were already uneasy after learning about today's news from the court, so after seeing the letter sent by Meng Yi, they felt like they had grasped a life-saving straw, and they were ready to go straight to Chunfang Garden.

Since Li Xin knew Chen Xu's intentions, he was still in a very calm mood recently, but after all, Chen Xu was not in Xianyang, and the affairs of the court were beyond his control, so today it was reported in the court that Feng Quji, Feng Zheng and more than a dozen important officials asked for a thorough investigation of the Western Army's punishment of soldiers, which also made Li Xin uneasy, so after receiving Meng Yi's letter, he did not hesitate too much, and rode straight to Chunfangyuan with a few guards, and met Cheng Jiangpu, who was also thinking about it, at the gate of Chunfangyuan.

Regarding the situation of sympathy with the Jiang family, Li Xin and Jiang Pu chatted together and went to a separate small courtyard under the leadership of a steward of Chunfangyuan, and when they came in, there were already five or six family members who also had clansmen in the Western Army who held official positions such as generals and principals in the Western Army, and they were basically a bit of a figure of face and status in Xianyang.

When a group of people met, they naturally saluted and greeted each other, and soon after, Meng Yi, who was dressed in a brocade robe and wore a jade crown and a neat hair, strode over, accompanied by Neishi Ling Qi Tang and Jiancheng Hou Zhaohai.

"Forgive your sins, forgive your sins, it's too late!"

Meng Yi bowed his hands left and right to apologize when he entered the door, Zhao Hai and Qi Tang also smiled and sat down separately after bowing hands with everyone, and soon there were maids pouring tea and water to serve the left and right, and the steward of Chunfangyuan soon arranged for a group of singers and dancers who were proficient in musical instruments to accompany the dance.

Everyone drank tea and watched the dance quietly, but in fact, most of them were restless, but Meng Yi didn't speak, everyone could only continue to watch, after two songs and dances in a row, Zhao Hai found that the atmosphere in the whole room was very depressed, so he smiled and said after retiring the singer and dancer: "You came to Chunfangyuan to listen to the music and watch the dance, why are you all worried?" Could it be that Benhou is not well entertained? ”

A general's clan was about to speak, but Li Xin smiled and said: "I just returned to Xianyang, I heard that Jiancheng Hou and Qinghe Hou had a big gamble called stud for a famous singer named Lin Xian'er, and as a result, Jiancheng Hou narrowly won Lin Xian'er. ”

"Haha, Di Daohou laughed, it's not that Ben Hou is reluctant to come to the banquet, but there are a few nobles in the chess and card room next door, and the fairy girl was invited to be a dealer! Ben Hou has already arranged, and when the game is over, Xian'er will come to cheer up Di Daohou and you. Zhao Hai explained with a smile.

"That's good, I went back to Xianyang for a few days, and I only heard how this Lin Xian'er sang and danced and was amorous, and I must take a good look at it today!" Li Xin nodded happily.

"Di Daohou will definitely not be disappointed after seeing it, this Lin Xian'er has a good voice, and the poems and songs are all good!" A stout middle-aged man laughed.

"Are you Brother Cheng Duwei?" Li Xin looked at this product with some familiarity.

"It is exactly, in the next Cheng Tao, the younger brother Cheng Pei is working under the Hou account of Yinshan, before the younger brother's family book also mentioned the matter of conquest of the Xiongnu Yue clan with Hou Ye, Tao admired Hou Ye inexplicably...... "The middle-aged man hurriedly gave up.

"Hehe, there is no need to be polite, Cheng Duwei is strong in martial arts, and he is also very brave in battle, when he followed me and the Marquis of Yinshan to fight against the Huns, he seemed to be a hundred generals, and he was promoted to the rank of captain in just a few years, which is really good!"

"Thank you Hou Ye for your praise, my brother can have today, thanks to the appreciation and promotion of the general and the two Hou Ye, but what is the matter of reselling enamel this time, will my brother be implicated......" Cheng Tao asked in a worried low voice.

Li Xin shook his head slightly, then gently pouted at Meng Yi and whispered: "Don't be too anxious, this matter is too involved, not one person can carry it, we can only work together, since Dr. Meng invited me and others to come to discuss, there must be a plan......

"Yes, yes, thank you for the reminder!" Cheng Tao suddenly came to his senses, but the anxiety in his heart instantly calmed down.

Several other family representatives who came to discuss also exchanged their heads with each other, their expressions were different, Zhao Hai and Meng Yi said a few words before standing up and saying goodbye, saying that they would arrange a banquet, and then the atmosphere in the room quickly became solemn.

"You are gathered here today, so why you should be very clear in your hearts, the Western Army generals stealing and selling enamel equipment have a bad impact, the emperor is angry, if you can't explain this matter clearly, you want to come and dismiss the official and seize the title is in front of you, whether it is my Mengshi, Jiang or you, your reputation will be damaged and the family will be affected, the reason Your Majesty has been hesitant is not that you can't punish the generals of the Western Army, but that you are worried that it will involve too much and cause the army's morale to be turbulent and the people's hearts unstable......"

Meng Yi sat cross-legged on the mat and roughly explained the reason for today's treat.

"Please also ask Dr. Meng for guidance, we will definitely follow it!" A half-hundred-year-old man with gray hair couldn't help but stand up and arch his hand.

"Since it is a maze, naturally there is no way to point out, the old man's brother Jingwuhou was also dragged into it by you and others, and suffered from this unwarranted disaster, Di Daohou, you know this matter best, have you ever had anything to do with my brother from beginning to end?" Meng Tian looked at Li Xin with a very unhappy face.

Li Xin blushed embarrassedly and arched his hand: "This matter really has nothing to do with Jingwu Hou, it is the front-line soldiers who steal and sell equipment in private, and when we know about it, there are huge numbers that cannot be stopped, and the generals of the low-level supervision army are involved, the number of people is too much, and there is nothing to be done even if it is the main general!" ”

"All race to be greedy, and are not tired of seeking. Qu Zi sighed that the state of Chu is in danger, the people's hearts start from greed, you think you know about the theft, but you also forge a military letter to ask for supplementation, if it is not repeated, how can there be the current ending, alas, the matter has come to this, it is useless to say more......"

Meng Yi sighed and shook his head, his eyes swept over the faces of Li Xin, Jiang Pu and others one by one, and finally gently knocked on the desk with his hand and muttered for a long time before speaking again: "This matter is too involved, if there is no sufficient reason for Your Majesty to accept it, the officials of the three provinces and six ministries will inevitably continue to impeach until Your Majesty is determined to punish the generals of the Western Army, but if this matter is all on my brother and you, it is not completely reasonable, the old man and my brother have discussed this matter for a long time, and I feel that the resale of equipment and even armaments may occur in the future, It's just a matter of time, and the root cause of this kind of thing is not military discipline and military law, but ...... military system."

"Sure enough!" Li Xin's eyes lit up, and his heart instantly lit up.

"I don't know what Dr. Meng means by the military system?" An elegant-looking old man asked.

"The military system is naturally the structure and structure of my Great Qin army, involving military service, military discipline, military lords and other aspects, although the old man has also led the troops to fight, but after all, he is not a front-line soldier, and now my Great Qin's armament is completely different from the time when the princes were fighting more than ten years ago, and the most clear about the current Great Qin armament accumulation should be Di Daohou, if you don't understand, please Di Daohou explain it?"

The old man, including Jiang Pu, seven or eight family representatives, all turned their heads to look at Li Xin, Li Xin nodded slightly and sat upright, and then coughed lightly and said: "Doctor Meng is right, at present, my Great Qin military system is indeed accumulating and deepening, in the past, the conquest of the Six Kingdoms, the military service is running non-stop all year round, and the food and soldiers and ordnance are always accumulating and training, and the soldiers can also obtain military merit knights in this big war one after another, and get real estate and grain fields. Although the casualties of my Great Qin soldiers are large but they are as brave as tigers and wolves, they swept away the six countries in just ten years, but the military service law has not changed after the six countries are one, and the perennial military service operation has consumed a great deal of people's power. The system of change of service has existed in name only, and now the northwest battalion is all horse pawns, and riding horses to fight requires strict training, so the two armies in the northwest totaled more than 90,000 people, all of whom have served for more than six consecutive years, most of these people can neither have military merits, nor can they retire, and the two armies of Benhou and Yinshan Hou are stationed in the Western Regions Pass of the wind, sand and bitter cold, thousands of miles away from our Daqin, not only it takes half a year to go back and forth, but the replenishment of grain, grass, ordnance and armament is also very slow, and many soldiers can not even be replenished in time when the bow and crossbow sword are damagedAs for eating, drinking, sleeping and sleeping, it is even more rudimentary, and this time, we have been in the Western Regions for three years, and we have hardly fought a battle in these three years......"

Li Xin let out a long sigh faintly, his eyes were sad, and he looked up gloomily and swept over everyone in the room.

"There has been no war for three years, the armament is insufficient, the diet in the bitter cold land is not adjusted, the snow cover is several feet in the winter, and you can only hide in the simple barracks to gnaw on the cold and hard pot helmets, many soldiers have frozen and starved to death because of lack of medical treatment and medicine, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are not clothed and hungry, you are eating food and drinking wine in Xianyang, and singing songs at night are peaceful and peaceful, but who has ever cared about our Western Army officers and soldiers......"

"The generals of the Western Army have difficulty in the operation of food and salary, so they can only steal and sell some enamel equipment to get some money, and only then can they spare some leisure to buy some wine, food and clothing from those Hu merchants, and play dice to spend time, Ben Hou is the main general, even if he knows what, those soldiers who are far away from their homeland are also people, how can Ben Hou be ruthlessly punished, and the upper and lower generals are involved, Ben Hou can only turn a blind eye ......"

After Li Xin finished speaking, the whole room was unusually quiet, and after being silent for a long time, Jiang Pu spoke: "What Di Daohou said should be true, the old man's cousin Chutian also mentioned the daily life of the military camp in his family letter before, and the horse pawns on the border because they can't be replaced by normal shifts, so they are irritable and slack, so the barracks brawls happen from time to time, Your Majesty doesn't know these things, but the generals in the barracks have experienced, if you want to completely solve this kind of malpractice, you have to start with the military system, and change the military system......

"Hiss~" Several sounds like toothaches sounded in the room in an instant.

"Master Jiang, changing the military system is not something we can do with our beaks!" An old man said with a pale face.

"Yes, yes, my Great Qin military system has been in place for hundreds of years and has never been changed, and only His Majesty can speak on this matter!" Several other family representatives nodded in agreement.

"It is indeed not easy to reform the military system, but what the old man said today is just to remind you that if you want to get rid of this matter, you must persuade Your Majesty and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, otherwise the consequences are still unpredictable, since the Great Qin military system has accumulated so many shortcomings, we will naturally use this to exonerate the soldiers of the Western Army, the old man and brother have written a book to prepare to go to the court three days later to dedicate to Your Majesty, what is said is the accumulation of shortcomings in the Western Army and some military reforms, I hope you will not sit and wait for Your Majesty and many imperial history to open grace, Regardless of whether the military reform is successful or not, at least let His Majesty know that the military system has reached the point where it must be changed, and let the Manchu clerks know the difficulties and hardships of the Western Army now......"

When Meng Yi said this, everyone not only nodded secretly, but after discussion, they decided to go back and contact some more officials in the court.

As the saying goes, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, except for Kai Mengyi, Li Xin and Jiang Pu, there are almost no high-ranking officials here, but after all, these people have lived in Xianyang for a long time, and their family status is not bad.

These people have such a high title, the family will naturally rise with the tide, there are food estates and fiefs, as the aristocratic class is also nobles and officials, they can't help with the reform of the military system, but it is not too much of a problem to find some people to help wave the flag and shout.

Meng Yi also did this out of desperation.

His identity is different from Chen Xufeng's illness, he is in charge of the supervision province, what he does is to supervise the officials of the world, and in order to ensure his integrity and fairness, Meng Yi also comes and goes with the officials of the supervision province and the supervision history of various places, and the officials of Shangshu Province and other prefectures in Zhongshu Province basically do not deal with each other, so when this kind of major event happens, Meng Yi feels a little alone.

Li Xin and Meng Tian are even more so, the two generals are away all the year round, and their eyes are black on the affairs of the court, it is okay if there is no one in the court to help, if there is no one in the court to help, it will definitely be in an uproar in an instant.

Therefore, the generals who fought abroad were the most difficult to manage since ancient times, not only rebelled, but also were wrongfully killed, which belonged to a thankless situation on both sides.

There was originally a character who could help them resolve this crisis, but he had already run away with his pants up, and he also threw a big iron pot at them.

The meaning is very simple, you first set up the pot, prepare the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar ingredients and seasonings, and Ben Hou finally stir-fry the dishes.

For Chen Xu's level of stir-frying, Meng Tian and Meng Yi and Li Xin are very clear.

As long as Chen Xu is willing to intervene in this matter, the final outcome will not be too ugly.

The problem is that this is off to a smooth start, and if the military reform is not fully prepared and the military reform cannot gain enough interest from the First Emperor, Chen Xu may still not smear mud on himself.

What's more, if Montessori is not willing to come out this time, I am afraid that Chen Xu will not be very happy to see Montessori in the future.

If a family does not take responsibility, all partners will retreat.

What's more, if the military reform is successful this time, Montessori and Li Xin, as well as many generals and schools, will not only get rid of this matter, but also benefit from it.

This is also the reason why Meng Yi had to come forward in person.

If the military reform is formally implemented, the Western Army will bear the brunt, and Meng Tian and the generals and soldiers of the Western Army will have to fully cooperate with the reform, otherwise they may be greeted by the next pot, which is not impossible for the First Emperor, after all, there are only 20,000 people, which is far from the point where Daqin is broken.

However, in order to convince the First Emperor and the Manchu civil and military forces on the grounds of the disadvantages of the military system, and to accept the strategy of military reform, it is necessary to have enough support in the court.

And the army has always been the king's taboo, firmly controlled by no one can be contaminated, and no minister dares to stretch out his hand indiscriminately.

Including the Qinghe Marquis, who was so keen on all kinds of reforms, the left prime minister was reluctant to touch it first.

And now that it has reached the stage where the Meng clan has to touch it, what Meng Yi and Meng Tian are worried about is Feng Quji, the right minister of Great Qin.

Just a free money would make Feng Qu jump up to stop it.

Moreover, the restructuring will also disrupt the current entire military service system, from the decree to the court to the local counties and counties, all of which will have to be overturned and rebuilt, not to mention that ordinary people are illiterate, and all laws and regulations need to be explained to every village and town.
