Li Jing is actually a difficult old fox, although Li Jing has been in the army all the year round, but if he really plays tricks, these people in the Shi family dare not deal with it so easily.

But since he came to Jiaozhou, Li Jing set up a separate yamen and stationed it here with the military department and other officials.

He was constantly busy with the military reform every day, and even Li Chengqian had very little contact, and almost all of them stayed at home, and the intensity of the military reform was always very strong.

That's why the Shi family dared to play like this, but they were quite curious, could it be that the emperor was so relieved of Li Chengqian? also deliberately ordered not to let Li Jing intervene?

Although the young prince is the prince, his heart and means are still too immature, and there are not no people who can play with the Shi family at this age, Li Yuanjing is one.

Although they didn't fight much last time, Li Yuanjing still brought huge pressure to the Shi family and the entire Lingnan.

But this time they didn't have this feeling, and Li Chengqian gave people the intuitive feeling that he was a bit of a tiger, not scheming, immature in means, and indecisive.

Such a person may be a good person, but he will definitely not become a good prince and a good emperor!

However, today Li Chengqian revealed that the eldest grandson Wuji will come over after a while, so the eldest grandson Wuji will not ignore it like Li Jing.

Therefore, this gave the Shi family a clearer goal.

They will never be able to play the eldest grandson Wuji, there is no doubt about this, not to mention the identity of others, in terms of other people's means, they are not comparable.

The Shi family was not arrogant enough to think that they could fool the eldest grandson Wuji, so they wisely chose a time to do something, and at the same time decided not to make things happen without a place for relaxation.

Force Li Chengqian in advance, and wait until the eldest grandson Wuji has just arrived, and before the whole thing is settled, he will take action to solve it.

The first is not to give the eldest grandson Wuji a chance to play, the second is to let Li Chengqian feel the goodwill of the Shi family, and the third is to facilitate future negotiations.

Therefore, Li Chengqian felt tremendous pressure next.

Every once in a while, someone came to tell him that the retrenched soldiers began to feel a little emotionally unstable, and some of the retrenched soldiers ran away from home because they could not stand the ridicule of others when they returned home, and even committed suicide.

More and more unfavorable news was spread to Li Chengqian's ears, which also made Li Chengqian's heart more and more pressure.

"Uncle Wang, you can't sit idly by like this anymore, the rumors outside are intensifying, if you don't make a move, I'm afraid of a change!" Li Chengqian finally couldn't help but find Li Yuanjing.

A woman's kindness?

Perhaps, but Li Chengqian can't accept this status quo, and some people have lost their families because of this, which is not their original intention.

Li Chengqian always remembers the sentence of not forgetting his original intention, his original intention is to let the people of the entire Tang Dynasty live a stable life and live a prosperous life!

"You are the crown prince, you make your own decisions on this matter!" Li Yuanjing didn't look at Li Chengqian, but the depths of his words were full of disappointment, a strong sense of disappointment.

"Pass on the order of the main palace, select soldiers under the age of forty, and those who pass will sign a two-year contract and be assigned to the baggage camp!" Li Chengqian immediately commanded outside.

In the past few days, Li Chengqian has also been thinking about this question, are these people really useless?

Not necessarily, these people are familiar with the environment here, they are familiar with everything here, and no one is better suited to do these things than them.

A few days ago, news also came from Guangzhou, and the troops transferred over more or less had some problems adapting to the water and soil, and although everything was within the controllable range, there was no need to count on it in a short period of time.

All kinds of factors added up, so that Li Chengqian finally made this decision, looking at the silent Li Yuanjing, Li Chengqian pouted, and continued: "Uncle Wang, I am the crown prince, I can't ignore the requests of tens of thousands of people without emotion, let alone ignore their life and death, and placing them in this way is good for the army and the locality, this is my decision after careful consideration!" ”

"Hmm!" Li Yuanjing nodded slowly and did not make any comments.

……

Lingnan Military Reform Office, this is a temporary sign hung up by Li Jing, announcing to the outside world that all orders on military reform are issued from here.

The military reform has been carried out very smoothly, but it is not without problems, and the selection of personnel and the signing of contracts have taken a huge amount of energy, and as for the newly replenished troops, they will not be able to reach it in half a year.

Because a new problem was discovered in Guangzhou, Li Jing decided to let the troops entering Lingnan first undergo a two-month preliminary training and adaptation in Guangzhou, and then set off for Jiaozhou after this time.

Anyway, there is no expectation that the military reform will be completely completed within a year, this is a long-term task, and according to the plan of the imperial court, it will be completed in the next five years.

The first two years are just to complete the reform of the existing troops, the third year begins to enter pure new recruits, and five years later, the troops that have completed the reform this year will have people who will retire and leave, and then a complete circular ecology will appear.

Of course, there are other measures in addition, such as the recall regulations, starting from the decommissioning, in the next 10 years, if there is a war or when there is a need for troops, veterans with a retirement period of 10 years will be the priority to recall.

Ten years is enough time for two rounds of personnel replacement in the troops, do not underestimate this system, divide this decade into two stages, the first five years of retired veterans recall after emergency training, although the retirement time is longer, it will take a while to go to the battlefield, but it is no problem to take over the defense station.

The existence of these people ensures that all active troops can leave their stations and go to the battlefield, what is this concept? If the government soldiers can have this system, Datang will not be short of soldiers at all, six or seven hundred thousand government soldiers appear on the battlefield, who in this world is not trembling?

Moreover, the second five-year retired soldiers, because the retirement time is relatively close, will be carried out in batches and sections, and these people will be trained for three months, and at most half a year will be able to be pulled into the battlefield.

That is, hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line only need to be on top for three months to half a year, and the number of troops appearing on the front line will be doubled.

If this is nothing, then the training period for recruits after the military reform is one year, and through one year of uninterrupted training, they can already go to the battlefield in the second year, and in case of emergency, even half a year of training can be pulled.

Theoretically speaking, as long as Datang has enough school-age population, it can explode troops without restrictions, and it is this guarantee system that has completely strengthened Li Shimin's confidence in launching military reform.

It is foreseeable that after 20 years, the doubling of the population of Datang is not a problem, and if it develops according to expectations, after 20 years, theoretically Datang will be able to explode to the point of 20 million people at most.

Because this batch of population policies to encourage childbirth will usher in the first dividend period in 20 years.

"Nonsense!" After receiving Li Chengqian's order, Li Jing was angry and instantly put the order on the table, and scolded loudly.

Previously, Li Chengqian privately changed the upper age limit from 30 to 35 years old, and he admitted it, but now it is getting more and more excessive, so he simply does not cut it off alone, and can directly accept all the orders.

Do you really think that this upper age limit is determined by the heat of the brain? This is all precisely calculated, are decided according to the ten-year recall period, according to the maximum age to calculate, thirty years old to enlist, thirty-five years old, if the theoretical maximum recall age is forty-five, the physical function at this age has seriously declined, and it is even difficult to adapt to the front-line battle.

This is already the maximum acceptable upper limit after the Ministry of War's calculation, Li Chengqian's change means that the maximum age of the recall is 50 years old, and 50-year-old people are still fighting a fart battle? They are not generals, and letting these people follow the troops for thousands of miles is already tired and hiccupping, what kind of battle are they fighting?

Good!

You're the prince, you have the final say, but what the hell are you forty years old again?

Li Jing's temper is not bad, and he belongs to the good-tempered category among these generals, but now Li Jing is also angry at the moment when he is also engaged by Li Chengqian.

"This is not allowed to be done in advance, and the old man went to find Zhao ...... The prince asked clearly! ”
