It is imperative to change the promotion system, but we should not be in too much of a hurry.

"General Li said it in time, after Prince Ben ascends the throne, he will definitely make such a change."

Hearing that he would have to wait until Li Yu ascended the throne to be able to carry out reforms, Li Jing showed a little disappointed, but thinking of Li Yu's current situation, it was indeed difficult to make changes immediately.

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has this determination, then the minister thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should take control of a strong army as soon as possible, because everything depends on strength, as long as your strength is strong enough and someone opposes it, what if you kill it."

Li Jing's words were domineering, but Li Yu thought it was true when he heard it, because he knew that in this world, he originally relied on strength to speak.

If you want people to listen to you, you can arrange how you want, then you have to have enough strength to overwhelm others.

It is inevitable to have an army of your own.

Of course, he has 10,000 soldiers and horses in Shuozhou, led by Wei Chigong, but it is only an army to encircle the border, and he needs to have an army that can send troops at any time to destroy all enemies.

"Ding, release the Huangtu hegemony task, establish a tiger and wolf army, the task is completed, the reward is 1000 gold coins, and the lottery is drawn."

came to the task, Li Yu smiled secretly, it seems that the establishment of an army is inevitable.

In today's Tang Kingdom, there are soldiers in the hands of the vassal kings, and some families also have soldiers in their hands, and their soldiers account for the majority, on the contrary, there are not many soldiers and horses in the capital.

Li Yu once calculated that there were about 100,000 soldiers and horses for the vassal kings in various places, about 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses for the families in various places, plus more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of some generals, and the soldiers and horses that were not very controlled by the Son of Heaven, there were almost 300,000.

On the side of the capital, there are two groups of soldiers and horses to defend the capital, the 10,000 Son of Heaven army led by Qin Shubao, which is directly defended in the capital, and the other is that there is also a dragon tooth army with about 40,000 soldiers and horses stationed outside the capital, and they are mainly responsible for the safety of the capital outside the city.

So on the side of the capital, there are only 50,000 soldiers and horses.

The entire Tang Kingdom combined, it was only thirty-five soldiers and horses.

This point of soldiers and horses is not much, it is said that it is a lot less, but it is not enough to use one place, but it cannot strengthen the strength of the Tang State.

In Tang Yu's view, the possession of soldiers and horses by the Tang vassal kings and families is a big trouble, and sooner or later they should be eliminated and the military system should be completely reformed.

Li Yu talked with Li Jing for a long time, and it was not over until it was almost noon when he was about to eat.

Li Yu and Su Rong had lunch at Li Jing's mansion before leaving.

The carriage walked from Li Jing's mansion to the East Palace, and Su Rong leaned on the carriage and looked at Tang Yu and asked, "What are you talking to General Li about, and you have been talking for so long?" ”

Su Rong was very curious, but Li Yu just smiled faintly, "It's nothing, just talk casually." ”

Changing the military system, now is not the time to tell Su Rong, Su Rong is Su Fu's daughter in the end, and the military system will definitely involve the Su family army at that time, so that the Su family knows too early, it is not very beneficial to him.

It's just that his words obviously can't satisfy Su Rong.

"I don't believe you two didn't talk about anything, tell me quickly, or I'll not finish with you?"

Suddenly, Su Rong stood up and was about to make a gesture to hit someone, but at this time, the carriage seemed to have rolled over something, and it was a little unstable, Su Rong's body suddenly tilted, and then the whole person fell into Li Yu's arms.

The cheeks of the two were against their cheeks, Su Rong suddenly blushed, and hurriedly pushed Li Yu away and sat back.

"You...... You still see ......"

Li Yu didn't seem to feel how embarrassing the situation was just now, and was still looking at Su Rong and smiling at this time, which made Su Rong angry.

"It's my people sooner or later, what are you shy?"

"You...... You'll talk about that later. ”

Before dusk, the weather in the capital was a little gloomy, as if a heavy rain was coming.

Li Yu has become the third day of the crown prince, and now he has begun to fully assist Li Yuan in governing the Tang Kingdom.

is different from being the crown prince before, although he was the prince before, Li Yuan rarely let him take care of things, and he didn't like to take care of things very much.

But now, because Li Yu has been identified, Li Yuan has handed over many things to Li Yu, and Li Yu has done a good job.

In the imperial study, the wind outside was still blowing.

"Father, the sons and daughters have checked the distribution of my Datang troops, and I feel that there is a big hidden danger."

Hearing the crown prince mention the distribution of troops, Li Yuan was a little curious and asked, "What hidden danger?" ”

Li Yu said, "Father, there are about thirty-five soldiers and horses in my Tang Kingdom, of which there are 50,000 in the capital, and there is naturally no problem with these 50,000 soldiers and horses surrounding the capital, but the premise is that when someone attacks the capital, other vassal kings can bring troops to help." ”

Li Yuan nodded, "Yes, in the entire Tang Kingdom, there are several vassal kings and generals, and among these vassal kings and generals, there will definitely be some people who will come to King Qin, so there is no danger." ”

After Li Yuan finished speaking, Li Yu shook his head, "No, father, in the eyes of Erchen, if there are really people attacking the capital, there are not many people who come to the rescue, my Tang Kingdom is surrounded by enemies, even if those vassal kings who guard the border first have the heart to rescue, they will definitely not have the strength to save them, in this case, how much is left?" ”

Li Yuan's expression moved slightly, and he asked, "What does the prince mean?" ”

"Father, the meaning of the son, here in the capital, we should increase the number of troops, so that the capital has sufficient troops, and it can defend the Beijing division nearby, and it can go anywhere to destroy thieves or defend the city, so it is more flexible."

Li Yu said this, Li Yuan raised his head slightly and glanced at Tang Yu, he didn't expect that his son would actually make fun of the idea of the army, as the Son of Heaven, this is the most taboo.

However, thinking that Li Yu is already the crown prince, the entire Tang Kingdom will be his sooner or later, and it is not impossible to give him military power now.

"There is some truth in what you said, but if you increase the number of soldiers and horses, it will be a lot of pressure on my Tang Kingdom, you know, if you want these soldiers to do things for you, you have to let them eat well, let them have military salaries, and the extra these, Tang Guo can support them?"

Li Yuan smiled lightly, in his opinion, it is good to have problems, but it depends on whether Li Yu can solve these problems, and he is about to come to see the ability of this prince.

"Father, in the eyes of the sons, the way to raise soldiers and horses, and not to increase the pressure is very simple, order the vassal kings everywhere, draw out one-fifth of the strong soldiers on their fiefdoms and send them to the capital, of course, those vassal generals who guard the border can continue to maintain soldiers and horses, but the inland must transfer troops to the capital, so that the capital is safe, and the Tang State is safe."

Li Yuan thought about it for a moment, and felt that if this matter was done, it was very likely to affect the stability of the Tang Kingdom, but if it was really done well, it would also be of great benefit to the Tang Kingdom.

"How about leaving this matter to the crown prince?" Li Yuan wanted to see Li Yu's ability.

"The sons and daughters will receive the order, and the sons and daughters will be the father and the emperor and build an army of tigers and wolves."
