Chapter 260: The army must be reorganized first
Since you are preparing to refresh the rule of officials, you must first stabilize the army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
A few days later, Wei Shuo summoned Wang Maide, Li Wei, Duan Ye, Jiang Fei, Wang Zhongde, Fuqu Nancheng, Xu Zhao, Qi Ganali, Bald Wei Tan and other generals to discuss the matter, intending to reorganize the army before refreshing the rule of officials.
Although the generals are in Hexi, it is difficult for them to have the opportunity to get together because of their different responsibilities.
Therefore, while the majority of the protectors had not yet arrived, everyone exchanged heads and ears with each other, and the familiar ones also made jokes, which was very lively for a while.
At this time, Wei Shuo, accompanied by Liu Muzhi, Wang Zhenxi, Kang Long, Fuqu Mengxun and others, walked into the hall.
Seeing that Wei Shuo's face was serious, it was very different from usual, and they all felt that something big might happen at today's gathering, so they hurriedly underwent plastic surgery.
Wei Shuo's eyes widened, glanced back and forth at the generals a few times, and waved his hand to signal Frustrated Meng Xun to step forward.
"Meng Xun, you come to read the military order."
"No."
Fuqu Mengxun took the military order, stretched out his hands, and read aloud: "General Zhenxi's order: From now on, all units of the Hexi Army will enter the training in an all-round way, except for the necessary vigilance troops. ”
"During the training period, no one shall be ordered, and no one has the right to mobilize a single soldier."
As soon as the military order was issued, there was an uproar at the scene, and everyone did not understand the purpose of the Dadu Protector's move.
Could it be that there is a big problem in Hexi, and the army has lost the trust of most of the protectors? Otherwise, you can't explain what is in front of you.
"Quiet, all quiet, listen to the speech."
Under Kang Long's reprimand, the generals gradually calmed down, and they all looked at Wei Shuo with blank eyes.
"Don't panic, don't think nonsense, the whole army training is the only way for the Hexi Army to develop to the present stage."
Although it is a normal measure for Wei Shuo to repeatedly adjust the army, the generals are still inevitably panicked.
Some of the people who are smart-minded are worried about the whole thing, but as a result, the army has not been able to put things in order, but has been rectified in disguise.
Li Wei hesitated for a moment and asked a question tactfully.
"Dadu Hu, the last general does not object to the whole army's training, but how to ensure that the training will not become a whole person?"
"If you are used by Xiaoxiao, won't it ruin the original intention of most of the capital?"
"Xuansheng's worries are indeed worrying!"
"However, we should not stop eating because of choking, and we believe that as long as the measures are taken properly, everyone can work together to prevent various risks."
After calming everyone a few words, Wei Shuo waved his hands and looked categorical.
"The purpose of this training is to promote the standardization of the army, which is related to the development and growth of Hexi in the future, so it is imperative."
"During the whole training period, generals at all levels should take the lead in studying various rules and regulations, and they should further establish the idea of separating civil and military personnel."
"Here, I would like to tell you in advance that the focus of this training is to crack down on the phenomenon of interfering in politics with force."
"As long as someone is found to defy the law, the army will be dismissed at the least, and beheaded at the worst to set an example."
At this moment, the generals didn't know that most of them had made up their minds, so they didn't dare to dissuade them, but their hearts were cloudy.
Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was solemn, Wei Shuo was worried that it would backfire, so when he spoke again, he couldn't help but ease his breath.
"Shuo understands why people are so anxious that something bad is coming."
"For this reason, Shuo assures everyone that during the training period, except for the relevant personnel of the Military Judge Advocate Office and the Military Supervision Department, no other generals have the right to intervene."
"And in order to prevent someone from slandering indiscriminately, Shuo will personally be in charge of the training."
"If a general or above commits a crime, he must have a document signed by Shuo himself to be convicted."
"If you are below the commander, you must be reviewed by Xu Zhao, the envoy of the prison army, and report to me for inspection before the punishment can be carried out."
"In this way, it will ensure that most people will not be treated unfairly, so what is there to worry about?"
Hearing that the majority of the guards were personally in charge of the training, it suddenly made the generals present feel a lot more at ease.
In particular, the Hu generals led by Qi Gan Ali and Fuqu Nancheng breathed a long sigh of relief.
Don't look at Hexi's constant propaganda of Hu and Han equality, in fact, the phenomenon of internal Hu and Han bullying has never been extinct, and the contradiction between Hu and Han has always existed.
It's just that most of the guards are fair and have always been impartial.
In addition, Hexi made another effort to implement the strategy of turning Hu into summer, which suppressed all kinds of Hu and Han contradictions.
In normal times, it may be nothing, but now when it comes to a sensitive period such as the whole training, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will take the opportunity to 'communiqué personal vendetta'.
Fortunately, Dadu Hu said that he would personally sit in charge, which finally put these Hu generals at ease.
Not to mention that the generals under his command have different thoughts, just saying that Wei Shuo proposed to organize the army at this time, in addition to cooperating with the rectification of the rule of officials, it is also the need of the situation.
After taking Longyou Qinzhou, Hexi's strength suddenly expanded a lot, and at the same time, the internal situation was much more complicated than before.
Especially with the return of the family that fled south that year, the power of the family in Hexi swelled suddenly.
Even though it has only been half a year, the power of the family has begun to infiltrate all aspects.
Wei Shuo has always liked to plan ahead, and since he has found clues, of course there is no reason to let it develop.
Otherwise, when the families complete the layout, it may be a hundred times more difficult for him to clear it than now, and the harm caused will be greater.
And this is only the Longyou family, and in a few years, Wei Shuo will face a more powerful Guanzhong family and Shandong family.
If you don't lay a solid foundation first, how can you subdue other families in the future?
Therefore, he will take advantage of the fact that the Longyou family has just surrendered, with the help of the reorganization of the army and the rectification of the rule of officials, and comprehensively implement the new ideas such as the separation of civil and military affairs and the solemn ceremony and the law, and strive to build the four states under his rule into a solid whole, so as to lay the foundation for the future east into Guanzhong and the unification of the north.
However, Wei Shuo also knew that if he wanted to successfully complete the training of the whole army, he could not do without the support of the generals.
But seeing that the generals looked reluctant, I think everyone has not yet realized the importance of the whole army, and it seems that they have made a big move.
Thinking of this, Wei Shuo beckoned to Fuqu Mengxun again, ordering him to distribute the information that had been investigated in advance to everyone.
"This is the result of a secret investigation by the Pondu Protector, and even if no one has been found to interfere with politics with force, all kinds of small problems have emerged one after another."
"First of all, the phenomenon of forming gangs and factions in the army is becoming more and more serious."
"Originally, they were all relatives of the Hexi family, and the soldiers did not distinguish each other."
"But now, out of personal grievances, many soldiers have actually connected with each other, connected with the township party, and formed gangs with each other, and the relationship is seriously antagonistic."
"If we don't punish them severely, we will come to the battlefield in the future, and if someone has selfish intentions and dies in the face of the danger of friendly forces, will we miss a big thing?"
Originally, everyone didn't think so, but they took the document handed over by Frustrated Qu Mengxun, opened it and took a cursory look, only to find that the matter was far more serious than they imagined.
The above is only the situation of the garrison around Guzang, but one-seventh of the battalions have problems.
Duan Ye, the new governor of Liangzhou, was in a cold sweat at this time, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee to ask Wei Shuo for his guilt.
"The last general is not strict in governing the army, and he is willing to be punished by the protection of the capital."
"Changxu, you get up first, is this your fault? If you really want to investigate it, even Bendu will not escape the blame. ”
"I will uncover this problem, not to go over old accounts and hold everyone accountable."
"I want to tell everyone that there is something wrong with the Hexi Army and it must be rectified."
"The last general is willing to listen to the dispatch of the metropolitan protector and cooperate with the Judge Advocate General's Office and the Military Supervision Administration to complete the training task."
"Well, that's right!" Wei Shuo nodded with satisfaction.
"It's not everyone's fault that something went wrong with the Hexi Army."
"But the environment has changed, and it is inevitable that some people can't resist the temptation and forget the fine traditions of the Hexi Army, so they embark on the road of no return."
"In the past, Hexi was weak, and those rich and powerful families all ran to praise Lu Guang, Begging for Qiangui, Yao Chang and others to stinky feet, and no one was optimistic about Hexi."
"And you have followed Shuo all the way to today, and after hard work, you have finally created a foundation."
"Today, Hexi Bo has a prestige, and many businessmen and families have been eyeing everyone like hungry wolves."
"Suddenly, beautiful women, money, etc., temptations that I couldn't think of before came one after another."
"Even Shuo sometimes thinks, if he continues to let it go, will the Hexi Army become the private army of some local tyrants?"
As soon as these words came out, all the people present bowed their heads in shame.
As Wei Shuo said just now, almost all of them have experienced it.
If it weren't for the fact that he was in a high position and his every move attracted people's attention, he didn't dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool, I am afraid that someone would have fallen.
Even high-ranking generals are like this, let alone other middle- and low-level generals? It can be seen that Wei Shuo's words are not without purpose.
In fact, this situation is inevitable, and those families are not stupid, and they have done this in all dynasties.
What they have in their hands is money, as long as they pull the local garrison generals and officials into the water, even if Hexi strikes at Haoqiang again, they can still do whatever they want.
In the end, Wei Shuo said categorically: "Hexi must reorganize the army, otherwise the enemy has not defeated us, and we ourselves have already fallen!" ”
With the order of the Dadu Protector, before the rectification of the officials, a large-scale army reorganization operation kicked off.
