Chapter 334: Military Reform

Under a huge map, Li Shimin looked at the generals in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Zhongqing, these days, I have been thinking about one thing, that is, the reform of my Tang military system!" ”

As soon as these words fell, Cheng Biting Jin said: "What to change, this military system has been used for so many years, and it must be changed?" ”

Cheng Yanjin's words were immediately approved by many military generals, and they all said: "That's it, Your Majesty, this government soldier is very easy to use, what do you want to do with him?" ”

Li Shimin heard these words, but waved his hand and said: "Actually, I have long wanted to change this military system, but I fought the Turks a few years ago, and recently I have beaten Tuyuhun, and I really can't find time to reform the system, and it has been delayed until now!" Speaking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh lightly, "But wow, this involves the whole body, I still hesitate slightly about this major event of military reform!" That's why I came to you to discuss! ”

Seeing that all the generals were silent, Li Shimin smiled and said: "You are all veterans with troops, if you have anything to say, you don't have to be formal!" ”

As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, Li Jing coughed lightly and said: "If Your Majesty wants to reform the military system, you must already have a draft in mind, and even have already formed a plan. ”

As soon as Li Jing spoke, the rest of the generals immediately did not speak, and they all looked at Li Jing.

Since breaking Tuguhun, Li Jing has closed his door and rarely seen people. It's rare to go to court once. However, whether it is Li Shimin or the ministers of the DPRK and China, they all regard him as the giant of the country, the pillar of the DPRK and the center, and the head of the military generals. Looking around the entire Tang Dynasty, the Xiaoliang regime entrenched in Jingxiang was destroyed by Li Xiaogong and him, the rebellious Fugong Yi was pacified by him, the Lingnan lands in the south of the Tang Dynasty were appeased by him, the Turks in the north of the Tang Dynasty were destroyed by his army, and the Tuyuhun in the west of the Tang Dynasty was defeated by his army. The Tang Dynasty borders on all sides, and three of them are flat by Li Jing. This kind of merit, such talent, is really admirable.

Li Shimin took a yellow book from the side: "Pharmacist, give!" ”

Li Jing took the piece and watched it slowly.

After a short time, Li Jing finished reading this recital, and while handing it to the military general beside him, he said: "The main content of this recital is to reform the current government military system. The first is to pluck the healthy ones among the governments and fill them with twelve guards, so that they can be recruited and responsible for war. The second is to reduce the military government in Guanzhong, Hedong, and Henan. Third, the twelve guards took turns to defend the border. Fourth, the Twelve Guards General is changed once a year. Well, that's roughly those four points, and a lot of the rest revolves around these four points! ”

Li Jing used the most concise language to roughly introduce the content of this concert, so that those generals who did not have time to see the concerto knew it.

When Li Jing said this, these generals immediately began to discuss, saying that the idea of establishing a conscription is not bad, and it is conducive to improving combat effectiveness. There is also something to say that the government soldiers are the foundation of the Tang Dynasty army and cannot be shaken. As for the reduction of the military government in Guanzhong, Hedong, and Henan, some people say that this is a weak policy and cannot be adopted.

Hearing the discussion of the generals, the hall was noisy, Li Shimin suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help coughing lightly.

Suddenly, the hall was silent, and you could hear the needle falling.

Li Shimin suddenly smiled: "Why don't you Aiqing talk about it?" Didn't you just say it, don't be formal, just say what you have to say! ”

Li Jing paused for a moment, and then asked Li Shimin: "Since Your Majesty has decided to reform the military, I don't know what prompted Your Majesty to make this decision?" ”

Li Shimin looked at Zhang Yunwen, who was sitting silently below, and after thinking for a while, he said: "The foundation of this military system is the rent adjustment system since the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the most basic requirement of this rent adjustment system is that each household has its own land. Coniferous has always been committed to making the cultivators have their fields, first developing Jiangnan with 200,000 Turkic people, and then attacking families, such as the Taiyuan Wang family, to suppress annexation. However, according to the data sent by the Ministry of Households, the trend of land annexation is difficult to suppress and is spreading. If it is merged, a large number of farmers will be filled into wealthy families as tenants and be blessed by them, then the source of our Tang Dynasty soldiers will definitely decrease sharply. Recruiting soldiers can prevent such things from happening! ”

When the words fell, Li Jing couldn't help but stroke his white beard and nodded slightly.

The rest of the generals reacted differently, some with their heads bowed, some with their heads shaken, some at a loss, and some confused.

"In this way, Your Majesty's strategy of changing the march is the result of careful consideration in all aspects, and the minister has nothing to say! However, this matter is very important, and I hope that Your Majesty can be open and honest and solicit opinions from the ministers! Li Jing said.

Seeing this, the rest of the generals also said: "I hope Your Majesty will be open and honest and accept opinions!" ”

Li Shimin nodded: "I came to you to discuss this matter because I want to see what you generals think about this matter. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" The generals shouted as usual.

Just when the generals were about to withdraw from the main hall, Li Shimin suddenly shouted: "Uh, that, Yunwen, you stay for a while!" ”

Zhang Yunwen suddenly stopped.

At this time, Li Jing walked up to Zhang Yunwen and said, "Hehe, Yunwen, I knew that the letter was written by you, and you came up with this idea!" Among the generals of the Tang Dynasty, there are very few who like to use recruiters like Yunwen! ”

After speaking, he chuckled and walked out of the main hall.

Zhang Yunwen looked at Li Jing's back as he went out, and also smiled slightly.

"Yunwen, to be honest, I really have to thank you!" As soon as the generals went out, Li Shimin showed a kind expression. Stretched out his finger and pointed to the stool on the side, "Come, sit, let's sit down and talk!" ”

"Your Majesty is serious, how can the ministers be virtuous, they have no merit and no merit, how can they get Your Majesty's gratitude!" Zhang Yunwen sat down and said with a smile.

"Who says you're worthless? You helped me train my son and daughter, and that's a credit! I've been training for almost two months now! I thought you would make them stronger, but I didn't expect that your training would make them change their mental outlook a lot! Especially Zhi'er, when I said a word before, he replied that something had happened, and he didn't dare to argue with me. Now, although there are still some promises, it is much better than before, and many times I dare to take my words! Shouldn't I thank you for such an achievement? ”

Zhang Yunwen hurriedly waved his hand and was modest.

Li Shimin said: "I have always rewarded and punished clearly, you have trained children for me, and you really deserve to reward you!" But ah, Yunwen, not long ago, there was a royal history impeachment against you, saying that you have no dignity, leading a group of princes and princesses to swagger through the market, and losing royal dignity, you have to pay attention to it! ”

Zhang Yunwen saw that Li Shimin had no intention of blaming, so he immediately bowed, and said disapprerovingly: "Son-in-law obeys!" ”

After saying this, Li Shimin picked up the yellow book just now: "Yunwen, this military reform was the first thing you suggested to me, and now that I want to implement it, do you have a good plan?" ”

Zhang Yunwen was silent for a moment, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen has no good strategy for the implementation of military reform, but he does have some new ideas for this military reform plan!" ”

When Li Shimin heard the first half of the sentence, he first showed disappointment, and when he heard the second half of the sentence, he immediately said happily: "What is the best plan?" ”

Zhang Yunwen smiled and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, these ideas are indeed a little vague, wait for the ministers to think about it, and write another piece of music to present to Your Majesty!" ”

"Good! I wonder when Yunwen will be presented? ”

"Three days later!" Zhang Yunwen estimated the time.
