Chapter 733: The Disarmament Controversy
"This is a court discussion, not a crowd brawl in the city, quiet!" The emperor spoke.
"Your Majesty forgives your sins!" The Manchu Dynasty civil and military officers bowed their hands at the same time, and then sat down after glaring at Jiang Bu one by one.
Jiang Bu was already soaked in cold sweat at this time, and the ground in front of him was already dripping with sweat, he looked at the emperor tremblingly, took a few deep breaths, and stammered: "Your Majesty...... The abolition of the Northwest Army, the minister is not a rebellious heart, but for the future of my Great Qin, now the Huns and Hu are all destroyed, the northwest will be free of war for decades or even hundreds of years, and hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed in the northwest border pass, there is no point in consuming money and food every day, the reduction of these soldiers is beneficial and harmless, this is the minister's loyal words, the minister is just a martial artist, so it is also simple, if there is anything wrong, please forgive your majesty, if your majesty thinks that the minister is wrong, the minister is willing to accept any punishment! ”
At this time, Jiang Bu could only go all the way to the black, stretching out his head and shrinking his head with a knife, it had already been said, as for the result, it could only depend on the emperor's mood.
"It is not advisable to dismiss the Northwest Army, please think twice!" Lees stood up again and bowed.
"Li Xiang's words are reasonable, we will second, please think twice!"
Almost all the civil and military ministers in the entire court stood up together, and Jiang Hu's soul almost collapsed with a uniform voice.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say about the dismissal of the Northwest Army!" After the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty sat down, Jiang Hu, who had been lowering his head and wiping his sweat, stood up and gave up his hand.
"Yinshan Hou, please speak!" Qin Shi Huang nodded slightly.
"The minister thinks that it is the right time to dismantle the Northwest Army, so the minister also thinks that what the chief said is reasonable......"
"Fourth brother, don't talk nonsense~"
Before Jiang Hu's words were finished, Jiang Pu, the general of the official department in the same hall, couldn't help but change his face, and hurriedly scolded in a low voice, although the voice was small, but he heard it clearly above the court, causing the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to turn their heads to look at it almost at the same time.
Jiang Pu used to be the Taiyuan County Shou, because Jiang Hu made meritorious service and Jiang Beiting and Jiang Heng were transferred to other places after being investigated, so the emperor in order to make up for the merits of the Jiang family, specially transferred him from the Taiyuan County Shou to the Ministry of Officials Lang General, although the rank has not changed, but the power has increased more than ten times out of thin air, and now he is responsible for managing the transfer and appointment of officials in the world, which can be called a high authority, but even so, he still has to look at the face of Shen Gongyan, and he has to be suppressed by Feng Quji, Li Si, Meng Yi and many high-level officials in the three provinces and six ministries, Standing on top of the court and living cautiously every day is far less comfortable than being a county guard covering the sky with one hand.
You must know that being a county guard is basically equivalent to the emperor of the soil, and the dozens of counties under the jurisdiction of the entire county are under his control, and standing on top of the court, if you don't say a word, you will be grabbed by the pigtails, and managing local government affairs are completely different things, with a high position and power but walking on thin ice.
And his fourth brother Jiang Hu suddenly stood up to support Jiang Bu's disarmament recital without greeting him at all, once he was framed as a rebellion, the Jiang clan under the emperor's anger will be affected and punished, and the three clans will be punished at the worst, and the lighter one will be sent to the border wasteland, so he can't help but be anxious and frightened.
"Your Majesty, the minister participated in the battle against Hun Hu twice last year, and personally experienced the convenience and sharpness of the new horse pawn equipment and weapons, the Hun Hu that has disturbed my Central Plains for hundreds of years is as vulnerable as rotten wood and dung in front of my Great Qin Iron Cavalry, in addition to the tens of thousands of horse pawns selected in these two wars, the remaining hundreds of thousands of soldiers are almost ornamental, and it is useless to stay, the minister thinks that after the 300,000 soldiers stationed in the northwest are removed, tens of thousands of elite horse pawns will be formed, so that the combat effectiveness of my Great Qin will only increase and will not weaken, Because there is no risk of shaking at all, it is only said that the words of the chief of the great concubine are even more plightful, the chief of the great concubine killed dozens of Hun warriors when he raided Hebei, not only suffered several heavy injuries, but also chased more than ten miles alone to kill Shan Yu Touman, this battle eliminated the great disaster of the Huns, Jiang Bu should be the first meritorious, we and other soldiers fought for life and death on the battlefield, fought for Your Majesty, fought for the safety of the Central Plains for hundreds of years, how to rebel? I Daqin take military exploits as glory, and the soldiers have fought with their lives on the battlefield with blood, how can they be convicted because of a word of loyalty to the country, our soldiers do not seek to die in their homeland, but they also do not want someone to maliciously slander, and the minister asks His Majesty to govern the party before maliciously framing Jiang Bu's rebellion for the crime of reviting! Jiang Hu's expression was serious, and his voice sounded particularly cold in the quiet court, and after finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at the most ferocious Wenchen who had just rolled up his sleeves and danced, and there was a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Many ministers who were swept by Jiang Hu couldn't help but shrink their necks and bow their heads, and cold sweat broke out slightly on their backs.
Jiang Hu and Jiang Bu's identities are naturally different, not only different, but one in the sky and one underground.
Jiang Hu is a marquis of Wu, and the title can be hereditary, as long as Daqin does not fall, the descendants will inevitably always be nobles, plus the Jiang family is a high-ranking official of Daqin, Jiang Pu is a three-grade official deployment Cheng, high power, the former Zhongche Mansion ordered Jiang Heng is now transferred to Huiji County as the county guard, Jiangbei Pavilion is the county commander of Pei County, plus the marriage relationship between the wife and uncle clan and the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military intertwined, this force can no longer be underestimated, even if Meng Yi Li Si wants to move the Jiang family, he must carefully weigh the consequences.
The most important thing is that I heard that the relationship between the Jiang family and the Marquis of Qinghe is irreversible.
If there is no conflict between life and death, no one wants to go to such a wealthy nobleman.
It's just a recital, and it's not worth turning your face with Jiang
Moreover, it is the emperor's family affair to disarm or not.
So in the face of Jiang Hu, a newly rising marquis, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were silent, and the entire court was very quiet, even Li Si, who was the first to jump out and scold Jiang Bu, did not make any movement.
If you want to casually accuse Jiang Hu of conspiring against him, not to mention that no one believes it at the moment, even the emperor will inevitably be angry.
Jiang Bu is a soft persimmon, and anyone in the Manchu Dynasty dares to jump out and pinch it.
But Jiang Hu is a hard walnut, not only can't pinch it, but also knock his teeth.
"The Marquis of Yinshan is reasonable, the chief Jiang Bu has made outstanding achievements, and he is a rare fierce general in my Great Qin, who dares to say that he is a rebel in the future, I will be judged to be guilty of recoiling, the court is not a place in the market, and you Aiqing are not a person in the market, how can you casually abuse and attack the general who has made meritorious contributions to me, Feng Xiang ......"
"The minister is here!" Feng Qujian stood up.
"Aiqing also has to carefully restrain the court officials not to maliciously slander their colleagues above the court in the future, let alone open their mouths to insult and insult, rebellion is a serious crime of the three clans, how can it be added at will!"
"Obey the order!" Feng Quji's face jumped slightly, bowed and sat down.
"Meng Qing!"
"The minister is here!" Meng Yi stood up expressionlessly.
"Punish the elders who maliciously slandered the elders according to the law to set an example!"
"Obey the order!" Meng Yi sat down.
The group of people who had just made the most troublesome suddenly went down like mourners.
Since it is a punishment, it will definitely not be too serious, at most it will be a punishment, but today this face is a big loss, and it will inevitably cause many people to laugh at it, and it seems that it will have to be restrained in the future.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were silent at this time, and Jiang Bu finally let out a long breath.
is not a marquis, there are always ants above the court.
"The master has written it down, as long as you bear this catastrophe, you will inevitably make a contribution to the feudal marquis in the future, and you bastards will have to be pinched and exploded by the master to get out of this evil breath!" Jiang Bu clenched his fists and was ruthless in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a play!" Seeing that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had been suppressed by Jiang Hu with momentum, and the emperor had already begun to support his beloved generals, Li Xin stood up.
"Di Daohou, please speak!" Qin Shi Huang nodded slightly.
"Your Majesty, General Jiang proposed to dismantle the Northwest Army, and the minister also thought it was very necessary, now that the six countries are all peaceful, the threat of Hun and Hu has been swept away, and only the land of Baiyue in the south has not been swept at home and abroad, but according to the encroachment strategy proposed by the Marquis of Qinghe, the war outside the Wuling is going very smoothly, and the land of Baiyue will inevitably be incorporated into the territory of our Great Qin in three or five years at most, and there will be no threat to the north and south since then. It is no less than 600,000 troops, if it is not dismantled, it will need a lot of money and grain to support, and the annual expenditure is more than one million stones, and these grains and grass have to be transported from the granary of the Central Plains for a long distance, which not only consumes the people's power but also delays the agricultural time, so at such a huge price to support the soldiers who have no great use, in fact, it is not beneficial to the country and the people, so the minister also thinks that it is necessary to remove the soldiers of several large battalions in the northwest, and according to the military merits, the land and real estate are returned to the family for farming, and these soldiers who have been fighting in the outside of the country all the year round can be reunited with their families. After more than ten years of war, many soldiers are already old and tired, and they need to be like ordinary people, enjoy the rewards and rewards they deserve, enjoy the peace and happiness of their reunion with their wives and children, and enjoy peace and tranquility when they return to the fields, which is the best reward that His Majesty should give them! ”
When Li Xin said this, many generals in the court couldn't help but nod, and many Wenchen also showed hidden compassion on their faces.
Qin Shi Huang's originally calm face also changed slightly, and he rubbed his beard and bowed his head slightly: "What Di Daohou said is reasonable, but the Northwest Army is the foundation of my Great Qin's stability, and it cannot be changed easily. ”
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty stood up together, holding the wat board and arching their hands, and Qin Shi Huang stood up with his big sleeves and strode towards the apse.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the matter of disarmament soon spread in Xianyang, and it was almost a household name in less than two hours.
Disarmament is a very sensitive topic, and it has a far-reaching impact on both the court and the people.
Great Qin has never had a disarmament strategy, because Great Qin has been constantly fighting, fighting with dogs in the Spring and Autumn Period, almost everyone in the country is a soldier, and even the royal family has to participate in the war, so there is the gradual rise of the Qin State.
By the Warring States Period, the Qin State swallowed the Bashu and destroyed the Yiqu, and quickly grew into a giant empire, and together with the Eastern Power Qi State, jointly proclaimed the emperor, although the act of claiming the emperor was forced to cancel by the joint pressure of the other five countries, but it showed the ambition of the Qin State.
Qin Wangzheng succeeded to the throne, swept the ground for the soldiers and finally annexed the six countries with the strength of the whole country, unified China and took the Zhou Dynasty, and consumed millions of troops in ten years, and the dead and wounded were all adult men between the ages of fifteen and sixty...... Conscription...... Re-conscription, while the expansion of Daqin's troops, brought about a situation where the people were miserable.
The world is unified, but what is left to Daqin is a situation of internal and external difficulties.
There are worries about the restoration of the nobles of the six kings and grandchildren.
Outside, there is the difficulty of Hun Hu Baiyue attacking and harassing.
In this situation of internal and external difficulties, an adequate army is the cornerstone of protecting the stability of Great Qin.
Therefore, from the emperor to the court to the people, no one has ever thought of the word disarmament.
Not to mention that the emperor will not agree, even the common people feel unsafe, especially the old Qin people, once disarmed, the foundation of the Great Qin will be shaken, if the nobles of the six countries secretly make trouble, how can the safety of the country be guaranteed?
Therefore, as soon as the news of disarmament came out of the court, the whole Xianyang began to boil like a pot of hot water, whether it was the prince or the peddler's pawn, they discussed this topic with a serious face, and even the Dongfang Road concrete project, which is the hottest topic on weekdays, also took a back seat.
This matter is related to the life and death and future of Great Qin, and no one does not care.
Most people believe that disarmament is a policy that must not be pursued.
A handful of Six Nations rebels were ecstatic.
There are still a very few people of insight who believe that disarmament is justified, that all Huns and Huns will be destroyed, and that the reduction of the Northwest Army can reduce the pressure on the imperial court and save a lot of money and grain for the development of people's livelihood.
Of course, there are some people who think that this is the emperor's family matter, and that disarmament or non-disarmament has nothing to do with themselves, and it is not their business to live their own low-key life. (https:)
