Chapter 317: Top Secret
Killing his brother and killing the king is to bear the infamy of the ages, which makes King Kang Zhao Gou very big, but he knows that there is no turning back when he opens the bow, since he wants to inherit the unification and turn the tide, then it is worth paying no matter how big the price is.
King Kang said in a firm tone: "I am willing to get rid of Zhao Huan." ”
"It's not that simple, Zhao Huan gave the Emperor Taishang a chronic poison, and the Emperor Taishang will die in a year at most. Once you ascend the throne, I'm afraid you won't be able to run away from this notoriety. ”
Liu Zhenglong will not let Zhao Gou comfortably ascend the throne, to let this guy endure the most unbearable torment, whether this guy can be the emperor depends on this level.
Princess Kang was possessed by others on the night of candles in the cave room, this shame and shame, King Kang endured it, and King Kang also took the charge of killing his brother and killing the king. But the crime of killing the monarch's father is too heavy, and King Kang Zhao Gou really can't afford it.
Liu Zhenglong was not in a hurry at all, he looked coldly at King Kang who was kneeling on the ground, and said unhurriedly: "I have gone to rest, I hope that when we meet tomorrow, you can have a final answer." ”
King Kang knew that King Han went to Princess Kang's room, and when he thought of that kind of thing, his heart was like a knife. This kind of shame and humiliation made Zhao Gou feel the urge to die, but when he died, there was nothing left, so there was no need to report his sorrow.
The crime of killing the monarch's father is not a pit dug by the King of Han. Now that the Emperor Taishang is not yet fifty years old, it can be said that once he dies, conspiracy theories from the outside world will skyrocket. By the time Emperor Taishang died, the official Zhao Huan had been dead for a long time, and it was obvious that Zhao Huan would not carry this black pot. As for King Han, he will not be able to carry the black cauldron, the black cauldron is destined to be carried by someone, and it is obvious that Zhao Gou is this person.
Who is more suitable to carry this black cauldron? Zhao Gou was reluctant to carry it, he knew that tonight, he had to find a scapegoat, otherwise he would carry this black cauldron by himself.
After struggling for a night, King Kang Zhao Gou finally made up his mind.
When the curtain of the war will open, the King of Han is not sure, but he can confirm one thing, that is, as long as the Han does not send troops, the Jin State will not take the initiative to provoke the war, as for the affairs of the capital, since it is handed over to Wu to manage, then there is no need to pay attention to it.
Looking at the map, Liu Zhenglong fell into deep thought, when the Jin State set out to conquer the Song State, where should the Han army start? Once the Han army makes a move, it must be fast and accurate, and it must occupy a key position before the Jin army starts a full-scale war against the Han State, otherwise the Han-Jin War will be quite passive.
Military meeting, on the nineteenth day of the first month of the fourth year of Jingkang, the imperial capital, Longteng Palace, the top secret military meeting of the Han Empire was officially held.
This time, the commanders of the four major infantry groups, the Longxiang Corps, the Longwei Corps, the Longzhan Corps, and the Longzhen Corps, were all in place, and the mystery was finally revealed. The commanders of the cavalry also attended, this battle is related to the future national fortune of the Han Dynasty, and the important generals of the Han military are here, and everyone is waiting for this important historical moment.
The commander of the Longxiang Corps is Cao Chai, a son of the Cao family, who has not been conspicuous, but he is a first-class infantry commander, good at siege warfare, which is indeed a rare talent in the Han army. It can also be regarded as the most capable talent of the Cao family, the first meritorious family of the Great Song Dynasty.
The commander of the Longwei Corps was Pan Jing, the uncle of Queen Pan Yun and the father of Pan Concubine Pan Jin, who was the only right guard general of the Great Song Dynasty in the Han army.
Pan Jing became the commander of the Longwei Corps not because he was the national ruler, nor because he was the general of the Right Guard. But Pan Jing is indeed a qualified military commander, of course, what he is good at is not leading the army to fight, but staying at home.
The 50,000 infantry of the Longwei Corps and 10,000 cavalry of the Han Dynasty constituted the defense of the imperial capital, and Pan Jing's task was to defend the safety of the imperial capital. On the expedition, Pan Jing does have a lot of shortcomings, but Gongwei Dijing, then he is indeed first-class.
The commander of the Dragon Combat Corps is Gao Chen's younger brother, Gao Qi, the father of the spear, and it is difficult for the infantry to fight in the field, after all, the infantry suffers a lot when encountering the cavalry, but Gao Qi is one of the few field masters. You must know that there is a very special agreement in the Han military system, that is, the offensive is mainly cavalry, supplemented by infantry, and the defense is mainly infantry and supplemented by cavalry. Moreover, the rank of the corps commander is higher than that of the cavalry, and in the field, Gao Qi can command the cavalry to fight together.
The head of the Long Zhen Corps, Shi Zhi, is the younger brother of Shi Yi, the head of the Shi family, and among the four major corps, only the Long Zhen Corps has a flame army of 10,000 people, equipped with the most advanced firearms.
After a series of wars, Liu Zhenglong found that firearms were not very mature now, and the power of equipping cavalry was very small, so the Flame Army became infantry. As for when the cavalry flame army will be equipped, it depends on the situation of the firearms, if the conditions are not ripe, the cavalry will never form a flame army in the future.
Everyone was whispering below, although there was no clear news of the war, but everyone also knew that such an important military meeting would definitely have something big. Everyone is a soldier, and they are eager to throw their heads for the Han Kingdom, spill their blood, and expand the territory for the Han Dynasty, hoping that they can tear the soil and become the king.
When Liu Zhenglong, the king of Han, attended, everyone worshipped.
"Zhongqing's family is flat, please come today as long as you talk about three things."
The domineering spirit on Liu Zhenglong, the king of Han, is getting stronger and stronger, and that kind of royal atmosphere makes the generals below enthusiastic, and they can't wait to kill the battlefield immediately.
After Liu Zhenglong, the king of Han, saw that the generals were seated, he said straight to the point: "The Jin State invaded the Central Plains and almost caused the fall of the Great Song Dynasty. In the final analysis, it is still the embodiment of the evil consequences of the release of military power in the early Song Dynasty. Di Qing, the god of war, died depressed, and it was still on the stage of Emperor Renzong, the Holy Monarch of the Ages. If it is in the hands of today's son, scruples are that death will be infamous. Why do I say this today, I just want to make a promise to everyone, the big Han will not release the military power with a glass of wine, and he will not let the next Han god die depressed. ”
"Long live my lord."
The people present are all military generals, of course, they understand what the lord means by this, and attribute the weakness of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army to the release of military power with a glass of wine, what does it show, everyone knows better, at this time, one by one, as if they had beaten chicken blood, their blood was boiling, and they couldn't wait to go into battle to kill the enemy immediately.
After everyone quieted down, Liu Zhenglong, the king of Han, said: "That's just an appetizer, let's not get to the point, the first thing we talk about today is that the Great Song Dynasty is about to usher in drastic changes, and King Kang and Zhao Gou will control the court with the support of Emperor Taishang." Regardless of whether Zhao Gou will seek to usurp the throne, the Great Song Dynasty will usher in drastic changes, and this upheaval is very important for our Han Dynasty, so we must make corresponding adjustments. ”
After all, everyone was still a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty before, how could they not care about the drastic changes in the Song court, after all, it was closely related to themselves.
"The drastic changes in the Great Song Dynasty indicate that the Jin army will go south again, and the war will begin. I don't know if the Jin army has the courage to launch a war against the Han Dynasty, but I know one thing, that is, we will resist the Jin army southward for the Song State, so we are the main force in the Jin and Song wars, and our Han army will carry the powerful Jin army head-on, do you have the confidence to defeat the Jin army? ”
"The Han army is invincible and sweeps the world, and the Han army is invincible and sweeps the world."
The generals kept shouting, the Han army was invincible, swept the world, and finally began to shout slogans such as long live the king of Han, long live the Han army.
Liu Zhenglong made a gesture of pressing his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and he then said: "I know that it is a bit difficult for you to fight for the Song Kingdom, which makes you uncomfortable. But I want to tell you that the people of Song are also my people, so how can I allow them to suffer from the flames of war? You are not fighting for the Zhao family, but for our nation. Today, everyone can speak freely, what thoughts and concerns they have, and after they leave here, today's meeting will become a top secret, and anyone who leaks it will be pushed to the Ministry of Military Justice. ”
Speaking of the Ministry of Military Justice, Liu Zhenglong explained: "The Department of Military Justice is a department that will be established, so officers who violate military discipline and soldiers will be sent to the Military Justice Department to determine whether they are guilty or not and how they should be punished." This is a department that is separated from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, and is only for the army. ”
There is no such department as the Ministry of Military Justice in all dynasties, whether it is the Tang Dynasty, which is divided into feudal towns, or the Great Song Dynasty, which is in power by civilian officials, there is no department dedicated to the military, and the establishment of the Ministry of Military Justice this time is a good thing for the generals, at least after there is a problem, it will not be handed over to the civilian officials to deal with.
The generals have not yet realized the significance of the Ministry of Military Justice, but they just think that it is an internal matter of the army, so everyone raises their hands in favor, and then everyone will understand that the Ministry of Military Justice is the mantra on the heads of the generals.
Seeing that the generals were very supportive of the Ministry of Military Justice, King Han's face showed a satisfied smile, and he continued: "The Intelligence Department, the Logistics Department, and the Equipment Department will be established next. The ministers of these four departments are equivalent to the Shangshu of the Tang Dynasty's three-province six-ministry system, but the name is minister, do you understand? ”
"Understood." The generals have long been accustomed to the official system of the Han Kingdom, that is, a chief is directly added to the back of the department, so that it is catchy and convenient for the people below to carry out the orders of the chief.
The Shangshu of the three provinces and the six-ministry system are all members of the imperial court of the second grade, and they have always been the specialists of civil officials, and now all of a sudden the ministers are military generals, which makes the following generals enthusiastic, although they know that such an important position will not fall on their heads, but at least it shows that the Han Dynasty established the country with military force, and the generals have a status far beyond that of civilian officials.
The generals are gearing up one by one, just waiting for the arrival of the big war, the ministers of the four departments will not fall on their heads, but there is a rush, as long as they accumulate military merits, sooner or later there will be opportunities, the positions of these four ministers are reserved for the generals, indicating that those present have a chance.
It's no wonder that the King of Han would do this, there are too few civil officials in the Han Dynasty, and now is not the time to settle the country and secure the country, it is an extraordinary period of war, and the establishment of the military and the country is the foundation of the Han Dynasty, so it is understandable to do so.
King Han said: "The four heads of the Ministry of Military Justice, the Ministry of Intelligence, the Ministry of Logistics, and the Ministry of Equipment are concurrently served by the families of the four major families, the Pan family is in charge of the Ministry of Military Justice, the Cao family is in charge of the Intelligence Department, the Gao family is in charge of the Logistics Department, and the Shi family is in charge of the Equipment Department. The deputy ministers were appointed by Mu Hong, Gongsun Sheng, Tao Zongwang, and Lei Lingzhen, respectively. ”
The top commanders of the four most important departments of the army are in charge of the four major families, which was agreed between the King of Han and the four major families, and it was also a matter of last resort. If you want to achieve great things, you can't do without the four major families, and if you want the horses to run fast, you must feed the grass well, otherwise there will be chaos. Marriage alone will not sustain a long-term relationship, and interests are crucial. The four major families can be said to have put their lives on the line, how can they be driven without interests?
Moreover, the King of Han said that he would not release the military power with a glass of wine, it must not be a slogan, it must be implemented, and the meritorious group is not allowed to meddle in administrative affairs, and the army has become the self-reserved land of the four major families, of course, the four major families are indeed full of talents, not relying on the King of Han to take care of the upper position, but more of their own strength.
did not block Mu Hong defected to the King of Han very early, and he and his younger brother Mu Chun went all out to recruit and train the new army for many years, and has always been known for his iron-faced selflessness, so it is very suitable to serve as the deputy minister of the Ministry of Military Justice.
After Mu Hong came out of the ranks, he said angrily: "The lord trusts the minister, let the minister serve as the deputy minister of the Ministry of Military Justice, the minister is very honored, today I will briefly introduce to you the terms of reference of the Ministry of Military Justice, from the soldiers below to the generals above are in the Ministry of Military Justice's review, management scope, within the scope of military law, just one sentence: the prince violates the law, and the common people are guilty of the same crime. ”
The scope of the Ministry of Military Justice is too wide, although it is brief, Mu Hong also talked for a full quarter of an hour, he was very tired, after all, this is not a martial artist's specialty, it is normal to be tired. The generals listened to it like they were sitting on pins and needles, like mangs on their backs. At this time, everyone knows that the Ministry of Military Justice is a tight spell on the top of your head, even if you are the Monkey King who makes a lot of trouble in the sky and has a tight spell, you don't want to do anything wrong.
Those generals who came from Liangshan understood that the Han Kingdom was not Liangshan, and the Han King was not Songjiang. In the Han Kingdom, there is no empty slogan for heaven, no violence, no so-called brotherhood. Liangshan is a plate of loose sand, to put it bluntly, it is a group of grass robbers without constraints. If you want to gain a foothold in the Han Kingdom, you must act in accordance with the constraints of the Ministry of Military Justice, and you must not act recklessly or violate military law, which is not only a mantra but also a life-saving talisman.
"Your Minister, Lord Longen, will take military law as the code of conduct in the future, and if you violate it, you will be willing to accept punishment."
Gongsun Sheng, Wu Yong, Zhu Wu, Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, Mu Hong, Mu Chun, Tao Zongwang, Yan Shun, Yan Qing, Li Jun, Ruan Sanxiong, Zhang two brothers and other dozens of generals who came down from Liangshan knelt on the ground, knelt three times and knocked nine times, bit off their middle fingers and made a blood oath, swore to obey military law to the death, and were willing to accept punishment if they violated.
There is no doubt that the establishment of the Ministry of Military Justice is very important to this group of generals in Liangshan, and it can be said that it is very meaningful to their lives.
