Chapter Forty-Eight: The End of the Year-End Pilgrimage
Shi Ang Sachang, the Grand Emperor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, stood up and said with a solemn expression:
"Your Majesty, the Inspectorate has set up an Inspectorate in the eight counties, and the ministers have arranged to supervise the imperial history, inspect the counties, and inspect officials in various places. So far, officials everywhere have barely performed well. However, the ministers will continue to monitor. As long as someone is corrupted, then the minister will not show mercy. โ
Aung Sachang said his last few words with a categorical verdict that proved his resolve.
Gao Yang Yajun nodded in agreement:
"Yes, officials can have shortcomings, but they can't make mistakes that violate the law of the land."
When Wenchen finished speaking, Jinyi Wei commanded An Xuan to stand up and clench his fists and said:
"Since most of the civil servants have finished speaking, then I will report to the military attache first."
Gao Yang Yajun and the military attachรฉs nodded in agreement, and An Xuan continued:
"Your Majesty, the Jinyi Guard under the command of the minister has spread all over the country in eight counties. Most of the spies abroad are located in Poland, Great Moravia, and Pomerania, three countries allied with our prime minister. โ
An Xuan took a sip of tea, narrowed his eyes and continued:
"And the Bulgarian kingdom and the Byzantine Empire of Eastern Rome that believed in Orthodox Christianity, the Khazar Khanate that believed in Judaism, and the Abbasid dynasty that believed in the Sunni religion also had a small number of spies of my Jinyiwei."
Gao Yang Yajun explained:
"Okay, An Qing, you should also arrange for some brocade guards to go to the Carolingian dynasty in the west to arrange them in advance."
An Xuan nodded and said:
"Your Majesty, in the areas ruled by the Nagarolingian dynasty in the west, the ministers are already arranging manpower."
Gao Yang Yajun nodded, waved his hand and said:
"Well, that's fine. An Qing, sit down. โ
After An Xuan sat down, Lin An, the general of Zhenguo, stood up and said:
"Tell the king, the minister has trained 20,000 Zhenguo troops, and the Zhenguo army can form a phalanx with Mo swords in hand to fight against cavalry."
Gao Yang Yajun laughed heartily and said:
"Yes, yes."
The Zhenguo army is all tall and well-equipped elite soldiers. Only 20,000 people suitable for the Zhenguo Army can be found in the eight counties of the country.
Yuxu General Mei Dingguo stood up and said:
"Tell the king, the various units of the Zhongtian Ziwei Army are all over the country, and they will also help escort the students to school. At present, there are 20,000 cavalry, heavy cavalry and light cavalry of the Zhongtian Ziwei Army, and 40,000 crossbow cavalry, totaling 80,000. โ
Mei Dingguo paused and continued:
"The infantry consisted of 25,000 spearmen, 20,000 archers, 30,000 crossbowmen, 25,000 swordmen, and 30,000 shieldmen, a total of 130,000 men. The two armies totaled 210,000 men. โ
After Mei Dingguo's report, Liu Lin, the general of Zhengxi, stood up and clenched his fists and said:
"Your Majesty, there are 20,000 cavalry and 20,000 field troops under the command of the minister, totaling 40,000 people."
Zhengnan General Mu En then clenched his fists and said:
"Tell the king that there are 30,000 cavalry and 10,000 spearmen under the command of the king, a total of 40,000 people."
Zhengdong General Meng Lionheart stood up and clenched his fists and said:
"Next is me, the Eastern Army under my command has no infantry, it is all cavalry. There were 20,000 heavy cavalry, 15,000 light cavalry, and 25,000 crossbow cavalry, for a total of 60,000 men. โ
It was the turn of Zhao Yuanan, the general of Zhengbei, who stood up elegantly and said:
"Your Majesty, your ministers have requisitioned 40,000 people from all over the country to form a naval division, and there are thirty-five warships."
At this time, it was the turn of the head of the military attachรฉ, the sea and land general Yi Yu stood up. ไผๅฎไฝๆฏ says:
"Tell the king, our central army has a total of 410,000 people, and it is an elite division. As for the local army, there are 30,000 in Anping County, 10,000 in Anding County, 20,000 in Anmin County, 25,000 in Anxin County, 30,000 in Anjia County, 20,000 in Anguo County, 25,000 in Qixin County, and 20,000 in Qimin County. There are 150,000 troops in total, and they are the troops guarding our country. โ
At this time, a fat black man stood up and asked:
"Lord Yi, so my country needs to raise 560,000 troops in the land of eight counties? You must know that the people of our country are only 1.72 million yuan, and this army already accounts for one-third of our country's population. โ
Yi Yu asked:
"Lord Long Yaru, what do you mean?"
Long Yaru ignored Yi Yu, but knelt directly towards Gao Yang Yajun, who was sitting on the throne, and said:
"Your Majesty, your ministers propose disarmament. Cut the local armies in half. โ
Gao Yang Yajun asked:
"Lord Dragon, can you explain it to the widow?"
"Your Majesty, you should know that the Tang Dynasty in the east was precisely because the local army was too strong, which led to the division of the various knots. At present, the generals' offices of various counties in our country are similar to the envoys of military towns, and the generals of the generals' mansions control the military affairs of each county. โ
Gao Yang Yajun looked at Long Yaru and asked:
"Oh? Lord Long, that's why you're proposing disarmament? โ
Long Yaru nodded heavily and said:
"Yes, Your Majesty. Disarm first, and then the imperial court will take back the military power from them step by step. โ
Yi Yu narrowed her eyes and looked at Long Yaru and asked:
"Oh? What does Lord Long mean is that the military power of the counties is not in the hands of the imperial court? โ
้พไบๆฑ says:
"Of course it's still there, but what about later?"
Mei Dingguo stood up and looked at Long Yaru and asked:
"Lord Long, I would like to ask you, my Huaxia country is surrounded by national tribes, with Finns and Norse in the north, Rus and some nomads in the east and south, and Norse, Polish, and Pomeranian in the west. If the army of the counties is dismissed, what will our country rely on to defend them, will it depend on your mouth, Lord Li? โ
Long Yaru also looked directly at Mei Dingguo and said:
"Master Mei, don't change your concept, I'm just saying that we will disarm first, and then take back the military power step by step. If it is enough to defend various countries and tribes by setting up military towns in border counties, why bother that all counties are under the jurisdiction of the general's office. โ
Mei Dingguo went on to say:
"My Zhongtian Ziwei Army of 200,000 is also all over the country, and in addition to my Zhongtian Ziwei Army, there are also 180,000 troops of four generals in the east, west, north and south."
Long Yaru said angrily:
"It was the same with Datang back then, but what happened later? It's not a feudal town yet. โ
Li Xueru couldn't sit still when he heard Long Yaru mention Datang, so he stood up and shouted:
"Shut up, Long Yaru, get back for me. Datang is Datang, my Huaxia is Huaxia, how can the two be compared? โ
"How ใใใใใใ"
Long Yaru was also about to continue, but Li Xueru directly took two officials from the Ministry of Rites to pull Long Yaru back.
Li Xueru apologized to Mei Dingguo and Yi Yu and said:
"I'm sorry, two adults. It's because I didn't discipline this kid well. โ
Gao Yang Yajun looked at the farce below, she actually knew that it was not good to set up generals' mansions in various counties. But she had no choice but to arrange it first.
Gao Yang Yajun was afraid that the tail would not fall, so he raised an army of 410,000 again.
้ซ้ณ้ ๅ says:
"A few people, now is the time for the country to develop, so we are arranging for the General's Mansion to deal with local military and political affairs, and wait until the Quartet is stable before relieving the military power."
When several people heard Gao Yang Yajun say this, they could only sit back in their seats.
In fact, Gao Yang Yajun sees it very clearly, this is the competition of various forces.
At present, the biggest force is the local people of Meimel, who started with the first king, followed by the Tang people who came here with Li Xueru, and finally the general's mansion sitting in various counties.
However, this is complicated, such as the military attachรฉs headed by Yi Yu and Mei Dingguo, and the Wenchen Fang led by Prime Minister Mei Andao and several Shangshu.
After all, where there are people, there are disputes, and this will never change.
Gao Yang Yajun looked at Prime Minister Mei Andao and said:
"Minister, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve. And the adults are very satisfied with the performance of the adults this year, so the prime minister will announce it, which is also a heart of the adults from the lonely. โ
Mei Andao nodded, stood up and proclaimed:
"You Aiqing for the country and the people, and on the occasion of the Spring Festival, Lone here gives you six sheep, six stone noodles, six pieces of cloth, two stone rice, two jars of rice wine, and a pair of Spring Festival couplets. In addition, I wish you all a happy New Year! โ
Everyone hurriedly said:
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Gao Yang Yajun waved his hand and said:
"These orphans have also been given to the generals of the counties, and the time should be almost up."
Although this court meeting was a little unpleasant by Long Yaru, it ended in a joyful atmosphere.
When the court meeting ended, the generals of each county also received gifts from Gaoyang Masajun.
They said in the direction of Mei Jing:
"Minister, thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
