"Your Majesty will fight the country immediately, and now that he has just sat firmly in the world, he will be disarmed, is it cold."

"Fu Guogong is a person respected by His Majesty, and he must say a fair word for our martial artists, and don't forget the origin of the weak Song Dynasty in the first place."

"I think eighty percent of the traitors slandered in front of His Majesty, the Chinese Dynasty has only been a country for ten years, and it has fought more wars than the Ming Dynasty in two hundred years, so this is still disarming?"

...

Yan Yingyuan was on the road, and before he passed a place where the army was stationed, he was about to be surrounded by the local generals for a while.

Yan Yingyuan, who was tireless, could only travel lightly and rushed to Jinling by waterway without stopping, the water on both sides of the river slapped against the bluestone riverbank, and Yan Yingyuan's face sank like water.

He has been thinking about it for nearly two months on the way, almost every day, His Majesty's disarmament has its own reasons, but the grievances of the warriors cannot be ignored.

Why did Your Majesty disarm?

There was a half-round bright moon reflected on the surface of the river, and the cold wind blew through the neck and poured into the body, Yan Yingyuan was excited, tightened and smiled bitterly: "Old... Half a life, swallowing the wind and drinking snow, sleeping on the pillow, I couldn't stand the wind and cold. ”

The soldiers beside him smiled: "It is not easy for Grandpa Guo to be sixty years old and still so strong, and he has been born for more than 20 years, which is still not as strong as Guogong." ”

Yan Yingyuan suddenly blessed his soul and had an epiphany about the purpose of His Majesty's disarmament today, His Majesty was not worried that the martial artists would be too strong to threaten the crown prince.

Since ancient times, the founding emperor suppressed the generals who had made outstanding achievements, all for fear that their prestige would increase and threaten the heir, but today it is different.

He is too young, except for one Xia Wanchun, who fights with him, he is more than ten years or even dozens of years older than the emperor.

And Your Majesty is strong, even if everyone is a hundred years later, Your Majesty should be in the prime of life.

As long as Hou Xuanyan is still there, no military general has this prestige to surpass him, from Suzhou to the success of the Northern Expedition, all the decisive battles were fought by him personally.

The army was full of loyal supporters who were willing to fight to the death for the emperor, and his appeal among merchants was astonishing, and this kind of king was confident enough not to fear the usurpation of the throne.

Since this is the case, then Your Majesty's disarmament can only be for the sake of the national economy and the people's livelihood, and according to Your Majesty's temper, you will definitely not treat these old subordinates badly.

Thinking of this, Yan Yingyuan's brows finally expanded, disarmament is disarmament, the benefits of the elite army policy are in everyone's eyes, and it is famous to appropriately reduce the number of troops, because there is no need for so many soldiers now.

-----

The small town of Jiangning, on the school field of the Jinling garrison.

Hou Xuanyan took many generals stationed in other places who rushed over, and slowly inspected the Jinling Garrison Army, which is known as the elite army selected and transferred from all over the country.

The armor is distinct, the flag covers the sun, and the swords and guns are like a forest. The prosperity of the Chinese Dynasty can be seen from these thousands of people.

Behind him are Li Haoxian, Du Yinxi, Xia Wanchun, Yang Zhan, Qian Sule....

Hou Xuanyan is in a good mood, it is not easy for so many old generals to get together, and his words are not significantly more today.

"I have been sparse for a long time, I have not heard the drum horn and I have not seen Jingsheng for ten years, and today I suddenly seem to have returned to more than ten years ago, when Jingxiang was in full swing.

That battle still makes my heart boil when I think about it now, Wu Sangui, Kong Youde, Azig, Hauge, Lucke Dehun... I haven't forgotten any of them, now these people are all names in the history books, a statue in the Disaster Country Building, and they are all characters who can make me have nightmares when I think about it. ”

Du Yinxi felt the same way, nodded and said: "The others are okay, only this Luck Dehun, the situation in Huguang was almost ruined by this person." ”

Hou Xuanyan said in a deep voice: "Soldiers have always been murder weapons, and they cannot be used lightly. When Manchurian Jiannu entered the customs, the military power was great, and Li Zicheng lost his armor and abandoned his armor, Wu Sangui, Kong Youde and others, like hungry wolves and poisonous snakes, which could not be resisted. What will happen later? As long as the people work together and the soldiers use their lives, they are as strong as Hong Chengchou, and they are not going to commit suicide by throwing themselves into the river.

Now that the country is rich and the people are strong, and raising millions of male soldiers to increase the burden, it is better to return to the field and cultivate to support the family. ”

Everyone said in unison: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

At this time, as soon as he rode eastward and entered the outside of the camp, his retinue showed his waist card and was put into the camp.

Yan Yingyuan's tone was a little excited, he hadn't seen the saint for nearly ten years, ten years had passed in a flash, and the world had already changed.

"Where is Your Majesty?"

He was greeted by many generals outside the city, and everyone surrounded Yan Yingyuan and made noise, Yan Yingyuan was so annoyed that he heard that the emperor had arrived in the camp, so he threw off these people to face the saint.

The little soldier guarding the door pointed to it and said, "Your Majesty is in the school field." ”

Yan Yingyuan dismounted and rushed to the school with his own soldiers, and happened to meet Hou Xuanyan and others, and stepped forward and knelt down: "Long live the emperor Yan Yingyuan." ”

Hou Xuanyan gave a boost and said, "Hurry up, haha, I didn't expect you to come back so quickly." ”

"Back to Your Majesty, now that the northwest road is flat, and there are cars, horses and ships that are very convenient, the minister simply threw off the guard of honor and hurried on his own, and this is the early arrival."

Since the end of the Northern Expedition, these generals have also been separated for a long time, and their expressions are a little close and happy, and Hou Xuanyan saw that they were not resentful, so he was relieved.

"I asked the chefs in the army to cook a few small dishes, and today our monarchs and ministers will gather in the camp to drink, which can be regarded as picking up the wind and washing the dust for Liheng."

Li Haoxian said with a smile: "This is the Jinling garrison, under the command of Xu Yuanbao, this kid still owes me a pot of good wine, just let him pay it back, let's accompany Your Majesty to drink." ”

After a banquet in the army, news of the Fu Guogong's approval of His Majesty's disarmament spread far and wide, and gradually spread throughout Jinling.

Clear-eyed people know that this is the meaning of the top, otherwise this news will definitely not spread, and Yan Yingyuan did not come forward to deny it.

Yan Yingyuan, the Duke of the Auxiliary State, was the last hope of the generals, and it was also dashed, so that several bigwigs in the army were all in favor of His Majesty's disarmament, and the matter of disarmament became a sure thing.

Hou Xuanyan quickly formulated a generous discharge allowance and a preferential placement law, and the low-level soldiers did not complain at all.

On the contrary, these people have been away from home for too long and still miss their relatives very much.

The large-scale disarmament did not drag its feet at the very beginning, and the Jingbei Army lost 300,000 soldiers in half a month, leaving only 200,000 to garrison the border.

Eight out of ten soldiers were killed in various places, and in the vast territory of the Hua Dynasty, this number became astronomical.

Many military generals were arranged to teach in the martial arts hall, and some were assigned to various overseas colonies and territories.

The naval divisions are no exception, the Songjiang naval divisions and the Fujian naval divisions have disarmed a total of 100,000 people, and only Manchuria, Luzon, Java, Nanzhou and other places have increased the number of naval divisions.

The elixir once took the concerts from all over the place and reported to Hou Xuanyan: "My lord, we have laid off 800,000 soldiers and horses... This is more than the national army in the old days. ”

This year, countless soldiers in the land of the Hua Dynasty returned to their hometown to serve their father and mother with a generous resettlement money.

Swords and guns are put into storage, horses are put in Nanshan, and Haiyan River is clear!
