"Don't you think it's bad for my father?" Liu Chan said with a smile.

Liu Chan couldn't help but be a little heart-wrenching when he asked this, Kong Ming had no other thoughts, but even so, he couldn't help but feel cold about His Majesty's plan, caring about the lives of soldiers and studying their culture, which is all superficial phenomena, in fact, the most important thing is nothing more than starting from the soldiers and doing ideological work, and in Kong Ming's view, this can be described as both clever and ruthless.

In ancient times, there were often rebellions, but what was the root of the rebellion? Everyone knows that rebellion is to be killed! Are they all forced by life? Oppressed by heavy taxes, it is not true, many of these rebellions are the competition for the interests of the superiors, as a later generation, Liu Chan carefully counts the history, there are still many emperors through not glorious means, even improper means to ascend to the throne.

Then here's the problem! Why did these rebellions that used the army work, and why were the people in the army willing to be used as tools in the struggle for power?

Judging from Liu Chan's view of historical changes, he believes that the reason why this is the case is that in ancient times, he was a soldier in order to be able to manage food and clothing, and he was mixed up to find an official position, and he did not have to worry about food and clothing. Hehe, how many people can afford to read? How many can afford to read and get in? Instead of betting on the slim or even negligible odds, go and sell some strength in the army and kill a few enemies!

Under this general trend, being a soldier is more for a livelihood, as for those patriotic feelings, defending the family and the country, etc., after all, it is a minority, it is a special case, this is one of them, and second, there is another phenomenon in ancient times, that is, whoever has a military charm (tiger charm), who can mobilize the army, this is a big disaster in Liu Chan's opinion!

The power of the army is actually pinned on that small piece of copper, thinking of this, Liu Chan can't help but feel a lot sad, and the reason why he has to rely on the military talisman is mainly to authenticate his identity and read the holy decree? That's not reliable, this thing is often published, for example, decades ago, Cao Cao used Jiaozhao to summon the princes of the Eighteen Roads to crusade against Dong Zhuo.

In addition to these, there is another strange thing in ancient times, that is, the soldiers and horses in the world do not know the king! Except for the founding emperor who led the troops to fight the world, most of the emperors stayed in the palace, basically staying at home, except for the forbidden army guarding the royal city, who has seen the emperor in other parts of the world? Even the magistrates everywhere have never seen the emperor in their lives, so there is a situation where the emperor will not be recognized for a private visit.

And this is also the backwardness of communication facilities, in Liu Chan's era, the leaders went out on patrol, that is to pull up the banner, raise the flagpole, prepare for a long time, warm welcome, in the end only for that short moment of the scene, and for these leaders, the people can almost recognize, why? In addition to the advanced communication conditions, more is the infiltration and indoctrination of culture.

To what extent is it indoctrinated? At the very least, let you understand who the leader is, who you should follow, whose command you obey, and even who you can serve!

Liu Chan set up the Military and Political Department, the purpose is to be like the army of Liu Chan's era, with a political commissar responsible for all matters other than military activities, but here this Military and Political Department pays more attention to thinking control, after all, this is a zero start, first of all, it is necessary to instill in the soldiers, who are you fighting for, who is the emperor, and even what the emperor looks like.

Once the mind is controlled for a long time, if someone with a different heart wants to rebel, it will not be easy, after all, you know who Your Majesty is? Who would rebel easily? And at the same time, this point is also suitable for the Qiang Qiang Department, after all, the Qiang people's riding skills are not weak, if they can get it, it is tantamount to an extra powerful cavalry, and the cavalry is a treasure in ancient times!

Liu Chan didn't expect that the first selection of Juxian Pavilion would bring him such a big surprise, first Mo Cheng's invention, then Wang Shuang's innate divine power, and finally the literary test and picked up a Pingqiang strategy, which can indeed be regarded as killing three birds with one stone.

Waving a feather fan, Kong Ming opened his mouth after a while: "Your Majesty means to implement a new military system first, and then seek to pacify Qiang?" ”

"You can do both at the same time, can't you? Father? The corners of Liu Chan's mouth raised slightly, and then he smiled.

"The reform of the military system is a major system, how can it be brought about overnight!"

Looking directly at Kong Ming, Liu Chan said slowly: "Father Xiang, don't worry, I know that changing the military system is indeed a big matter, but as long as Father Xiang agrees, it can be promoted overnight!" ”

"Don't hide it from my father, after this Juxian Pavilion competition, I have the idea of implementing this move in the Dragoon Forbidden Army, the Dragoon is my closest troops, and it is the strongest force in my eyes, for them, I need to let them know that I am the lord of Shu, and I am the supreme!"

Hearing this, Kong Ming's action of holding the feather fan in his hand couldn't help but be a little stiff, and his hands couldn't help clenching tightly, is Your Majesty hinting at something? Kong Ming, who was already suspicious and thoughtful, had some guesses at this moment.

Fortunately, this was just a small episode, and the two didn't argue too much about it, but something was planted unconsciously.

"Since the Pingqiang strategy is feasible and belongs to the next strategic plan of our army, then whether the first place in the Tongwen Pavilion assessment should be attributed to Fa Miao, it can also be regarded as a consolation to the spirit of filial piety in the sky!" Kong Ming asked for advice.

"It is precisely because Fa Miao is the son of the former Shang Shuling that this matter is even more difficult to handle!" Liu Chan thought for a moment.

"Why?"

"Fa Miao is the son of the former Shangshu Ling Fazheng, and he is neither a cold family nor a Jingzhou faction, it stands to reason that he should take the first name, but it is easy to cause some misunderstandings!"

Kong Ming frowned, and said in real confusion: "Misunderstanding? ”

"Tongwenguan examination, not only to select useful talents, but also to find some good policies for governing the country, just like Pingqiang a policy, but because of this, the content of the test paper is absolutely not allowed to be disclosed to the public, and the content of this test paper of Fa Miao can not be made public, it is talented, but the identity is too special, the son of the former Shang Shuling, there is no test paper to testify, and he is the first name, what will others think? People are terrible, and it will be difficult to select them in the future! ”

"Although there is some truth, but it is always an illusory speculation, Fa Miao has this peaceful strategy, if it can't win the first place, then I'm afraid it's unfair!" Kong Ming's attitude is a bit hard-walled, and he is deeply loved by him for his peaceful strategy, and he will never allow the person who proposes this strategy to be treated unfairly!

"With this peaceful strategy, the first name is a must!"

Hearing this, Kong Ming was puzzled and said, "That'...... Could it be ......."

Looking at it like this, Kong Ming was afraid that he had already guessed it, so Liu Chan didn't sell anything, and said bluntly: "That's right, it's a tie!" Tie for the top three, all for the first place! ”

"Three?!"
