Chapter 181 Inexplicably such and such taboos
It's not that I don't understand many things, it's just that no one wants to change them. In other words, those who hope for some change are restrained everywhere, and those thoughts can only be suffocated in the bottom of their hearts.
Although the new dynasty did not kill scholars, most of those who mentioned these taboos were exiled to the wild land of Baiyue, and for those scholars who were committed to defending the country, it was even more sad to be ambitious than killing them.
Under the prosperity of the new dynasty, there is no longer the posture of the founding of the country, and some things have rotted to the bones. The so-called "born in sorrow and died in peace" is not really taken to heart in the eyes of most scholars.
The imperial power, the scholar class, and the landlords and gentry, these factors that determined the fate of the new dynasty have been confused and confused in the long entanglement and distortion.
People who really stand at the top can also see this, know the truth of affecting the whole body, and think about the possible results after rash changes, even today's officials are not able to bear it. And those who clamore for change are actually mostly just cynical so-called talents, which are inferior to Zhao Kuo, who talks on paper, so how can we talk about change?
As a Beijing official, Xu Hui understands better than anyone how deep the water behind these things is, although he is as worried as Du Cong in his heart, but he does not dare to make any evaluation, even if the new dynasty does not prohibit speech. It's one thing to say something, it's another thing to say it.
To put it selfishly, he is afraid of getting into trouble, and he is more righteous and awe-inspiring, that is, he wants to keep a useful body, and when he can speak in the future, he will realize his current ambitions.
Xu Hui knows Du Cong's temperament very well, and also knows that although he is accepted by the civilian official group, he still considers it from the perspective of a military general, and Du Cong is a person who leads troops to fight all year round compared to his civilian status.
Even in the relationship between Du Cong and Wu Shengjun, the court can be said to have made a great "innovation", in order to prevent the generals from having different intentions, the military system implemented by the new dynasty often caused an embarrassing situation of "the generals do not know the soldiers, the soldiers do not know the generals", so that the army can not get good training, not to mention, but also make there is no trust between the generals and the soldiers, which directly leads to the war.
When the general's military order is issued, the generals at all levels under his command are half-hearted or deal with the matter, and the combat effectiveness cannot be brought into full play at all, and often the enemy is frightened by a round of charge, or a look at the face, or even just hearing the sound of the enemy, and turns around and runs, let alone rush up to meet the battle.
Therefore, after Du Cong took charge of the Wusheng Army, the imperial court released a lot of power, and basically it can be said that everything that can be released has been released, and it is Du Cong who can pull the Wusheng Army up.
In the current situation, no one is confident that Wu Shengjun, who has lived on the border for a long time, will be able to survive for a long time in a gentle township like Jiangning, even if there is Du Cong's prestige there, I am afraid it will only be a little longer.
What's more, up to now, Du Congquan knows Jiangning, at least within three years of office, it is impossible for him to leave Jiangning, unless the north fights again, he has a little possibility of temporary transfer, but the new dynasty is trying its best to curry favor with the north, and it is also impossible to start a big war in a short period of time.
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Wu Shengjun has his bullet pressure, three years is enough time for those warriors in Jiangning to stretch their hands inside, Du Cong has no confidence that one day when Wu Shengjun goes to the battlefield again, he can still have his current combat effectiveness.
"Personally, I prefer Yang Wenhuan to take the role." Du Cong slowly opened his mouth, looked at Xu Hui next to him, and said with a positive color.
Xu Hui's eyes changed slightly, and a trace of shock in his eyes was well hidden, and he quickly covered up the past: "The Yang family has been in the army for several generations, and Kejing has served in the border army all the year round, but he is also a good candidate."
Du Cong listened to Xu Hui's tone, pursed his lips and smiled, looking expected, and then said: "But most people in the DPRK don't want him to be the commander of the Wusheng army?" Chung Du looked at Xu Hui with a slight look in his eyes. 110 eBooks
Xu Hui smiled and covered up the past.
Du Cong sighed: "The truth, not to mention it, I can save it, it's just that some people are worried that it will be difficult to control after giving these Jiangmen children too much authority, and I also know that since the founding of the People's Republic of China, several generations of ministers in the imperial court have adhered to the intention of suppressing Jiangmen, and they also know that the unwritten rule will definitely decline after three generations."
Du Cong looked at Xu Hui deeply and said it word by word.
Xu Hui looked a little embarrassed next to him, and said with a haha: "Zihui laughed, laughed."
Du Cong shook his head and said, "Ning Zhi is not in the army, I don't know the reason...... At present, although the new dynasty claims to be a million army, less than 100,000 can be pulled out, and there are so many generals in the army, but there are very few who can take charge alone. The reason for this situation is that the warriors are too contemptuous, and at the same time, there are too many restrictions on the generals in the army. ”
"Speaking of this post of superintendent alone, in my opinion, it should be abolished at all. I have been waiting for the cold window for ten years, reading at night, how many military books have I read? Even if you read it, how can you really understand the true meaning? When we really encounter a war, you and I boast that we are full of wealth, and we can really make the right judgment? ”
Du Cong paused: "Even if you can, how about Zhao Kuo who talks on paper?" Ning Zhi, when Fan Gong was the Xuanfu envoy of the Northwest, I performed my duties in the Ningwu Army, and I was fortunate to have worked under Fan Gong......"
He looked at Xu Hui, his eyes were full of remembrance, "Fan Gong's strategy of the art of war is beyond our reach, but when encountering a war, when Fan Gong discusses with the generals, he never lies, Fan Gong has always given great trust and support to those who lead the troops......"
"Zihui, I've said it." Xu Hui interrupted Du Cong, his face was slightly gloomy, how could he not know these things, his family knew how good he was, but these things should not have been brought to the table.
Even though they have an excellent relationship with each other, while worrying about the friends in front of them, Xu Hui also feels heavy about this trust.
"Zihui, you and I are courtiers, and it is disrespectful to talk about the government in vain." Xu Hui had a dark face and arrived solemnly.
Du Cong smiled, seemed to listen to Xu Hui's words, and sighed: "How can this be a vain discussion of the government."
Xu Hui patted Du Cong's shoulder and raised his voice: "Don't talk to others about this in the future."
Du Cong bowed his head helplessly, and then said: "I am going to write a letter and ask for Yang Wenhuan to be awarded the deputy commander of the Wusheng Army."
Xu Hui was stunned for a moment, and said worriedly: "Zihui, you are committing a taboo!"
Du Chung said: "Now everything has become a taboo, everyone is afraid of this and that, many things are not easy to do, I Du Cong is not talented, what if I touch this taboo?" Let alone...... Since Duke Du became the right minister, the official decree implemented the new law, and some lengthy things should also be removed at the opportunity. ”
Xu Hui looked at Du Cong worriedly, and said after a while: "Zihui, you ...... You can't go down this road. ”
