Chapter 270: Tang Royal Military Academy
"Dad, what's evil, you say, if you keep being tired and half-dead every day, someone keeps telling you the words of loyalty and patriotism, one to three years, and also gives you a chance to change your fate, you say, such people, will they be loyal to you, and there are more such people, then are they the mainstay of my Tang Army" Li Chengqian looked at his father and said.
"What do you do, of course you can cultivate a group of soldiers who are loyal to you, but as a father, I still don't understand, why do you do this" Li Shimin agreed with what Li Chengqian said, but he still didn't understand why he did it.
"My father, doing this, there are many benefits, you see, after such people go out of the military university, go to various guards, as low-level officers, then they have a group of subordinates, although there are not many, but these people eat and live with their soldiers, then their thoughts will also affect the thoughts of their soldiers, so that they also become loyal and patriotic, then you say, all the soldiers of the guards in the Tang Dynasty are like this, so is there still a mutiny? Especially these people are rising to high positions with military merits, and the soldiers below are slowly rising, so can you imagine that more than ten years later, will these soldiers rebel because of a general? After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he looked at his father and asked.
"This, this, according to what you say, what kind of rebellion is there, maybe the people above want to rebel, but before this rebellion is made, they were tied up by the soldiers below, if this is really like that, then ......" The more Li Shimin said this, the more incredible he felt, and at the same time he was deeply shocked.
"That's right, no one will rebel, because the soldiers below won't listen to them, of course if you want to do this, then we, the people in power, must be able to guarantee the interests of these soldiers at the beginning, such as their salaries, compensation for their death or wounded, these are what we want to give them, and in the future, I will also implement the military discharge system, that is, after they have served in the army for ten years, let them leave the army, and give a certain reward for merit, these can be money, It can also be arranged for them to enter the yamen to serve as errands, and even those low-level officers will be allowed to retire after a certain period of time in the army, of course, it is impossible and unrealistic to do this now, but wait for more than ten years, then this policy can be a fact, and there are ........."
"Gao Ming, wait a minute, you let these veterans who have been through a hundred battles leave the army, aren't you cutting off your siblings?" Li Shimin asked puzzled.
"Dad, I said it, this is more than ten years later, what are you worried about, and how can this be self-cutting, you think, with the official school, as well as the establishment of the patent department, as well as the improvement of the status of craftsmen and businessmen, then more than ten years later, my Tang Dynasty's taxes, scholars, will be more and more, as well as the emergence of various craftsmen invented magic weapons, the status of the military will not be better and better, at that time in the implementation of the government military system, it is not very suitable, then we will get the retirement system, retired a batch, we will recruit a group, And these retired soldiers will also play a good role in the stability of Datang, because these veterans from the army are a group of strong-willed, loyal and patriotic people, they return to their hometowns, and they can stabilize a region one by one, and even if there is a war in the future, or when the country is in danger, they are the last trump card in our hands" Li Chengqian finished speaking, and he was also excited.
It's just that Li Shimin is still a little worried and puzzled and stares at Li Chengqian.
"Dad, do you think there is something wrong with this, I think so, the soldiers in the future, will be taught the language by those who go out of the military university, this common people can also read and write when they see entering the army, and they can also have a good development, and participate in the imperial examination, you say, after more than ten years, the implementation of the retirement system, is it no problem" Li Chengqian saw that his father was still a little uneasy, he said again.
"Gao Ming, what you said, my father really can't understand it, you better tell me what's going on with this military university!" Li Shimin was still at a loss at the moment, and he said that his eldest son had said too many things to himself today, and he couldn't accept it now, and even said that in his heart, it would be a little too early to say it in the past ten years.
Hearing his father's words, Li Chengqian also understood, this is too advanced things, not something that his father can understand and accept now, and he also feels that he is a little too hasty.
"Daddy, I'll talk about this later, as for this military university! I think so, like Uncle Qin, these famous generals, they have fought on the battlefield all their lives, this is old, and they can't go to the battlefield, so why not let them teach their skills, so that they have heirs, but also for me Datang, train more generals, based on this idea, I have the plan to establish a military university, and the benefits of starting a military university, I have also told you before" Li Chengqian finished speaking, looking at his father helplessly.
"This is good, this is good, as for what you just said, it's not bad to be a father, but after all, that's too long-term and a little unrealistic, but this is to train more generals for the Tang Dynasty, this is good, what kind of reform of the military system, then wait for later, you ascend the throne, you are doing it!" Hearing this, Li Shimin smiled happily and said excitedly.
"That father, the dean and name of this military university, you always think about it, who will be the dean, and what is the name" Seeing this, Li Chengqian didn't say much, so he could only follow his father's ideas.
"That's the name! It's called the Datang Royal Military Academy, as for the dean, it must be done by our royal people, and you said before, they go out from here, they are the mainstay of the Tang Army, for the father means that you will be the dean, you will be the dean, then after they graduate from the military academy, they will have a teacher-student relationship with you, which will be good for you to inherit the throne in the future, and even every future dean of the Datang Royal Military Academy will be served by the heir to the throne" Li Shimin finished speaking, looking at his eldest son.
After listening to his father's words, Li Chengqian was shocked, he never thought that his father already knew the importance of this position, and he still wanted to let himself take it, instead of him coming personally.
"Dad, you are still so young, why don't you take the position yourself, but let me come" Li Chengqian finally asked puzzled.
"Then there are so many whys, my father thinks you are suitable, and you will inherit the throne of your father in the future, you don't deserve to be anyone, or are you a stinky boy, and you are still thinking about shirking your responsibilities for me" Li Shimin finished speaking, glaring, and beating you if you dare to say a word.
