"Greetings to Your Majesty!" Hundreds of people bowed down at the same time.

"Everyone, please take a seat!" Qin Shi Huang sat down on the dragon chair with his big sleeves.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After a slight bustle, the civil and military officials and the princes and princes who had been invited to come all sat down, and then looked at the emperor who was sitting on the top of the nine steps.

Qin Shi Huang's face was majestic, his eyes slowly swept over the entire hall and finally landed on Chen Xu, his face relaxed and nodded slightly before speaking.

"Today, I summoned all of you Aiqing to come to the court to discuss politics, just for the matter of Jiang Bu, the chief of the great minister, who proposed the abolition of the Northwest Army half a month ago......"

The court was extremely quiet, and only the emperor's plain and majestic voice could be heard.

"The Northwest Army is the most elite army of my Great Qin, fighting against Hun Hu to protect the Central Plains, is the cornerstone of ensuring the stability of my Great Qin, once it is dismantled, it will shake the hearts of the people of my Great Qin, but as Di Daohou and Yinshan Marquis said, now that Hu Hu has been appeased, there will be no war in the northwest within 100 years, leaving these 300,000 troops to waste money and food, so I have been thinking about it for more than ten days, but there is still no way to do both. It is necessary not only to ensure the proper resettlement of the 300,000 soldiers in the northwest under the condition that the people's minds are stable, but also to ensure the stability of our northwest border, so as not to lead to another disaster in the Hungarian-Hu rebellion! ”

Hearing the emperor's words, the faces of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty twitched.

Is this disarmament or non-disarmament?

The ministers of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and the princes and princes who were invited to come all looked at each other with their colleagues around them, smiled bitterly and exchanged glances while beginning to whisper to each other.

It is not troublesome to ensure the security of the northwest, and there are still 40,000 elite horsemen at present, this army that conquered the Xiongnu and Donghu must be enough to protect the security of the northwest border, and also has enough deterrent power for the Huns to surrender slaves.

The most difficult thing is that there are nearly 300,000 old-fashioned generals left, these are the key points to be dealt with carefully, and it is these people who have a headache for the emperor.

It is easy to dismantle, but it is difficult to replace.

These soldiers who have made great contributions to Daqin are not the millions of soldiers from the six countries at the beginning, they will be dismissed when they are dismissed, and they need to be properly resettled, once they are discharged from the army, they must distribute land and real estate according to the size of their military merits, and make up for the money during the enlistment, and this money, Daqin has been owed for many years and cannot afford to distribute it.

An ordinary soldier has a pound of food a day.

The first-class knighthood, both the public servant, in addition to the grain, each has a set of clothes in winter and summer, and there is also fifty stone corn every year.

As the rank of the title increases, each level of Yulu increases by 50 stone of grain, and there are other rules and rewards for land and real estate slaves.

Although military merit is difficult to get, but the 300,000 army are all soldiers who have participated in the battle of the Six Kingdoms, and at least half of them have knights, so in addition to the ordinary soldiers without knights can be sent some money and property to send back home like the soldiers of the Six Kingdoms, the generals with knights must be properly settled, the fields are good to say, and after returning home, there are naturally local officials who distribute according to military merits, but Yulu and slaves are a big problem, although Daqin is proud of military merits, but in fact, the fulfillment of soldiers' military merits is not complete, and the arrears are very serious, This also laid a great hidden danger for the later collapse of Daqin, and it can even be said to be a bane.

Because after the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, the domestic economic situation was in a mess, and the construction of the Great Wall and the Mausoleum consumed a lot of people's power, resulting in a shortage of various materials, and Great Qin could not fulfill so many military achievements at all.

This matter was not only understood by the Manchu civil and military, but also by the emperor.

However, as long as the soldiers are still in the army and still have military status, then these military exploits can be dragged on forever, but if they are disarmed, these military exploits must be fulfilled, otherwise I am afraid that these generals will have resentment and cause trouble.

At the beginning, the division and dismissal of millions of soldiers from the six countries, the civil and military officials above the court also had a trouble, all of them thought that the dismissal was unsafe, it was better to kill the pit to prevent future troubles, of course, in the end, the emperor still adopted Chen Xu's strategy, divided into several parts of the dismissal, now more than a year has passed, the million soldiers have long since disappeared, Daqin not only did not have the slightest chaos, but is more stable, from all over the country from the news of the song and Xuanwu Wei investigation, the dismissed millions of soldiers are honest, most people are even grateful to the emperor and the Marquis of Qinghe.

Therefore, after nearly a year of attention and surveillance, the emperor now does not care much about the subordinate who made him worry about dismissal in the first place.

Most of these soldiers are just ordinary people.

They also just want to eat, many of them are forced to be conscripted into the army to fight, they can live a peaceful life, and no one wants to rebel with their heads up.

And the same is true of the 300,000 troops in the northwest at the moment, many of whom have been forcibly conscripted.

Although Daqin is glorious for military merits, after all, it is necessary to die on the battlefield, and the laws and regulations in the army are extremely strict, and the punishment is also extremely severe.

After the ten-year war in the Central Plains, the Great Qin suffered no less than one million casualties, you must know that ten years ago, the population of the entire Qin State was less than five million, and the ten-year war, nearly one-third of the population was killed or wounded, and the rest were the old, weak, sick and disabled, orphans and widows.

Even if he got military merits on the battlefield, if he died in battle, the fields allocated by the family were useless, the orphans and widows could not plant, and the land could not build houses, and after a few years, he fell into the situation of the original Chen Jiang family.

Therefore, as Li Xin said, since there is no war, disarming and returning to the fields to enjoy peace is the best reward for these generals.

After Jiang Bu proposed the disarmament proclamation at that time, the emperor did instantly feel a bloody anger, thinking that Jiang Bu wanted to shake the foundation of Great Qin and destroy his country, but he soon calmed down.

The proposal for disarmament by the three generals who had just taken part in the conquest of Hun Hu may seem unreasonable, but in fact it is quite reasonable, because they are very familiar with the situation in the northwestern military camp.

In the two wars against Hun Hu and Donghu in the Spring and Autumn of last year, the main combat forces were all new-style horse pawns, and the remaining nearly 300,000 troops that were originally the cornerstone of Daqin's stability basically did not play any role, at most they went to receive the spoils of war after the end of the war, and in fact became an auxiliary and logistics force in disguise, which was not much different from the people.

With the elite troops of the new horse pawns, is it still necessary to retain these 300,000 ordinary soldiers?

Therefore, after the dispersal of the dynasty, Qin Shi Huang returned to the Zichen Hall and thought carefully for a few hours, and suddenly realized that disarmament was actually a very good strategy, as long as a well-equipped and well-trained new-style horse pawn was retained, it was enough to ensure the stability of the northwest, and at the same time, the pressure on the imperial court in terms of money and grain should be reduced by at least half.

And most importantly, a few days before Jiang Bu proposed disarmament, Chen Xu sent the emperor a map of the world and a globe.

This globe has already made the emperor's eyes look tens of thousands of miles away, and he can't look at the two scum scum Hu Man who have been crippled.

The world is vast, and if you sit in a well and watch the sky, you will continue to focus on the small place of Huaxia, which is not enough to reflect the majesty of the emperors in the world, let alone the ambition of the way of the emperor.

Where the sun and the moon shine, it is Qin soil, and where the rivers go, it is Qin Chen.

The words that Chen Xu said when he first entered Xianyang suddenly churned from Qin Shi Huang's mind like a magic spell, boiling his burning blood like a raging fire.

Therefore, the emperor eagerly summoned the princes and princes to discuss the matter of disarmament, and his mood was extremely urgent.

But none of the princes dared to take a stand on the matter of disarmament.

Support disarmament, once the turmoil in Daqin in the future will become the culprit of the top pot.

However, he did not support disarmament, and judging from the emperor's eager actions, there were already very clear signs of this matter, and he could not share the emperor's worries, which was also a manifestation of an unqualified courtier.

Therefore, under the premise that the emperor has already made a decision on the matter of disarmament and things are beginning to become clear, all the ministers are a little uneasy.

And the reason why the emperor was still hesitant was how to place the dismissed soldiers.

After all, the military merit reward system is the premise of the great Qin soldiers' bravery, once the accumulated military merit rewards cannot be cashed, the emperor's prestige will be greatly reduced in the minds of the soldiers, which is the result that Qin Shi Huang is very unwilling to see.

And staring at the rotating globe every day, Qin Shi Huang also seemed to guess that there was Chen Xu's shadow behind this matter, and he felt a little mustard in his heart.

If it was really Chen Xu who asked Jiang Bu and Jiang Hu and Li Xin to propose a disarmament policy, why didn't the Marquis of Qinghe enter the palace and play it directly?

In the end, the emperor did not guess Chen Xu's intentions, so he never summoned him to the palace to discuss disarmament.

With less than 300,000 generals, Qin Shi Huang believed that he could solve this somewhat hot problem by working together above the court.

So there is today's court assembly, which includes all the princes and ministers.

And Chen Xu naturally didn't care about the emperor's arrangement.

He can't play the disarmament matter directly, after all, he is not the three princes and nine kings, nor is he the general who leads the army, and stretching his hand too long will inevitably make the Manchu civil and military dissatisfied with him, and even there will be a rift between him and the emperor.

This is like two good friends, one knows that the other wife's wife is cuckolding a good friend, but it is not good to tell each other bluntly, directly speaking, it is inevitable that the two good friends will not be able to do it in the future, because it is obviously too wide, and the good friend will definitely guess whether he and his wife also have a leg when they know it, otherwise why would it be so clear, but if you don't say it, you always can't bear it in your heart, after all, you are good friends, so you can only send a green hat icon to remind you vaguely.

"Brother, I have a good friend who bought a hat, is it good?"

If good friends are awake enough, they will inevitably have an understanding, and after the problem is solved, they will still drink together and brag and pretend not to know, and they can continue to be good friends tacitly.

The same thing can be achieved through different methods and strategies, but the resulting outcome varies greatly.

Therefore, even if the emperor finally knew that it was Chen Xu's intention to propose disarmament, he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb and didn't know that the two were still a harmonious monarch and minister, or Weng Son-in-law, who had a good relationship.

And if Chen Xu played disarmament in person, Qin Shi Huang might turn his face on the spot before he understood the benefits and necessity of disarmament, and once this situation occurred, there would be a rift between the monarch and the minister, even if the emperor understood it in the future, this rift could not be eliminated.

Asking the emperor to bow his head and admit his mistake was done by a man with his head tied to the waistband of his trousers.

And it may also backfire, in order to show the majesty of his Ninety-Five, the emperor not only does not disarm, but on the contrary, he may again recruit an army to deal with the countries of the Western Regions.

This worst-case outcome is not impossible, but according to Qin Shi Huang's temperament, it is very likely.
