Datang is now implementing the strategy of younger troops, and young people mean that young people win.

And for the army, this means combat effectiveness, a force full of young people, as long as the training can keep up, the combat effectiveness will naturally not be bad.

Do you really think that the age limit of 18-20-30 was coined by a hot brain?

No, it's the result of two months of discussion between the three provinces and six ministries.

The younger army needs more people to support, and now Datang has this foundation, but young people have gone to join the army, what will happen in the future?

Young men are going to join the army, and who will carry out the plan to encourage childbearing? Let the wives of the soldiers who are widows at home make their own people?

This was unrealistic, so after two months of discussion, there was such a relatively acceptable restriction.

Those who join the army between the ages of eighteen and twenty must have an afterlife, and the military contract stipulates that it is five years, and if you join the army at the age of eighteen, you will come back at the age of twenty-three after five years.

If you join the army at the age of 30, according to this age, you generally have three or four children, or even more, and when you come back, you will only be 35 years old.

Moreover, in order to encourage childbirth, the imperial court also tried its best, but the professionalization of the army also limited the problem of childbirth to a certain extent.

Therefore, the imperial court also promulgated another regulation that made people laugh and cry, and those who used family visit leave to make a successful person during the service period will be given a monthly subsidy of ten yuan before the child is ten years old.

Ten dollars doesn't seem like much, but for ordinary people, considering the current prices, it is equivalent to this child raised by the court for you.

As for why the imperial court is so wealthy, of course, there is a lot of gold and silver, and it has confidence......

And this plan is only for active soldiers, which to a certain extent also greatly encourages the mood to join the army, not to mention that the soldier can earn money, during this period there are children and the court is still raised until the age of ten, where to find this kind of good thing?

It's nothing more than leaving home for five years to go somewhere else, is this a problem for the poor people who are used to living a hard life? Struggle for five years to make the family's life better, and the fool will not go.

This is a complete grand plan, that is, to ensure the strongest combat effectiveness of the army, and at the same time to not affect fertility as much as possible.

But now, all this has changed, and the imperial court will not only have to pay for this, but also break the goal of strengthening the army planned by the imperial court, and break the age structure of the army, in other words, once Li Chengqian's decision is implemented, the combat effectiveness of the troops will directly drop by a step.

After all, you can't expect a forty-year-old man who trains hard to compete with a twenty-year-old man for endurance and physical strength, although they do have excellent experience in terms of experience, but the experience of those veteran oils is no longer suitable for the current army.

……

Half a month later!

Li Jing still adhered to his own principles, and never issued an order for the selection of retired veterans between the ages of 35 and 40.

Li Chengqian, on the other hand, announced the news shortly after passing the order to Li Jing, and made it very clear to everyone that an announcement would be made in the next few days, so that they could wait for a while.

As a result, after waiting for ten days in a row, they could not wait for the announcement of the military reform yamen, and those veterans who had rekindled their hopes came to the door again to inquire about the results.

As a result, the military reform yamen directly didn't know a word, and sent this group of people back without receiving an order.

Then, the veteran who realized that he had been deceived instantly stopped doing it and directly surrounded the prince's mansion.

If you don't want to receive it, you don't want to receive it, and they didn't have much hope, but then you said that the matter was done, let you wait for the notice, but so many days have passed, but the military reform yamen said that they didn't know, and they didn't notice.

Even if you directly reject these people, you won't have such a big grievance, but you are so blatantly deceitful, and you are not even willing to collude with the military reform yamen, how much does this look down on people?

The response of the military reform yamen was regarded as a hornet's nest, and Li Chengqian, who learned of the situation, was instantly stunned, and then there was a strong sense of anger.

"General Li, this palace needs an explanation!" Li Chengqian, who was furious, directly killed the military reform yamen.

He knew Li Yuanjing's attitude, although he didn't know whether Li Yuanjing was involved behind this matter, but he knew that Li Jing had met Li Yuanjing shortly after receiving the news.

But Li Yuanjing is his uncle, and he has the power given by Li Shimin, so he didn't dare to go to Li Yuanjing to ask for an explanation, so he found Li Jing, who was specifically responsible.

"Has Your Highness ever thought about the consequences of doing this?" When Li Jing made this decision, he expected today's events, so he was not surprised that Li Chengqian came to the door to ask for an explanation.

"This palace only knows, and now this palace is being said to be untrustworthy outside, one thing in front of you and one thing behind your back!" Li Chengqian roared angrily.

"This matter is related to the military reform of the entire Tang Dynasty, please forgive Your Highness for not being able to obey the old minister!"

"Don't think that with King Zhao supporting you, this palace can't help you!" Listening to Li Jing's words, Li Chengqian was instantly furious, if there was no Li Yuanjing's instruction behind him, would he Li Jing dare to be so arrogant?

"Isn't this palace doing this also for the sake of Datang? After the military reform, there will be no conscription for labor, the army needs its own baggage battalions, and these retired veterans are still not up to this task? Do you have to go and bring in those soldiers who can fight well to be baggage?

You are a long-famous general, and the palace is ashamed to be inferior to you in terms of military affairs, but in terms of the overall situation, the palace must consider, and the requests of tens of thousands of people, the palace has to pay attention to it, I hope you will do it yourself! Li Chengqian continued.

"In fact, His Royal Highness King Zhao previously persuaded the ministers to carry out His Highness's orders, but the ministers refused, and the ministers couldn't do it, knowing that it was wrong to do so, but they still had to continue to carry it out, and the ministers would not do it. Li Jing's face did not change his course.

Li Chengqian's face changed, and he was furious: "Do you think this palace will not dare to withdraw you?" Well, since this is what you requested, then this palace is as proud as you! ”

Li Chengqian looked left and right, and then pointed to a military general with a low official rank and said: "Now that you are the general of the Lingnan Military Reform, you can handle this matter!" ”

The military general who was pointed out was instantly frightened and trembled, why did Li Jing hold it down? Of course, it wasn't Li Yuanjing who was in the way, but this matter really couldn't be done.

Although his level is not high, because he has always been involved in it, he knows the harm of doing this, and he knows what kind of impact this will have on Datang.

"Your Highness, humble ...... I can't do it......"

Although General Lingnan is mighty, he also has to consider whether he has the life to do it, his level is not enough, and he dares to think of directly surpassing the fifth or sixth level?

Now it's majestic, but after something happens in the future, he will be the first to be unlucky, and it is foreseeable that something will definitely happen if he does this.

And don't say it's him today, one of those present is counted as one, and those who are not present are also counted in, who dares to take this matter is tantamount to directly offending Li Jing to death.

Even if they are with the emperor, they may not be able to please, and when the prince is reprimanded by the emperor in the future, they will inevitably not be able to raise their heads in front of the prince.

"Good, good! You're all good! Li Chengqian's teeth itched with hatred, but he hated this group of people.
