At the end of the time, the night was a little deeper, but the third master did not go to rest, still in the study with Chen, Li The two major strategists had a ride or not, seemingly casual, but in fact, the eyes were aimed at the screen at the door from time to time, and the color of expectation in his eyes was really thick, and the person who could make the third master wait like this was naturally only one, and that was Hongqing.

The third master is indeed a little anxious, there is no side, Hongqing has been going for more than two hours, and he has not seen a turnaround, before he can't figure out the details of the old thirteen, the discussion is really not negotiable, it can only be nonsense, the third master is too concerned at this time, and how can he have any idle thoughts at all, just humming unwillingly, he was irritable, and suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, and then saw that Hongqing, who was dressed in green clothes, had turned out from behind the screen, The third master's eyes immediately lit up after following the prestige, fortunately, the qi cultivation kung fu was still home, and he was not in a hurry to ask, but his slightly flushed face had clearly expressed the desire in the third master's heart.

"The child has seen his father, his master, and Mr. Li."

The longing expression on the third master's face was so obvious, it was impossible for Hongqing not to see it, and it was inevitable that a burst of amusement rolled in his heart, but he didn't dare to bring it to his face, so he could only hold back and grab the front, and saluted respectfully.

"Well, Qing'er is back, sit down and talk."

Although the third master was anxious, he was not so anxious that he was rude, so he just raised his hand and gave him a seat kindly.

"Thank you for your father's throne."

Hongqing has always been a well-behaved person in front of the third master, and of course there will be no exception at this time, but after seeing him thank him respectfully, he slowly walked behind a few people, lifted the hem of his robe, and sat down, but he was not in a hurry to speak, but bowed slightly and posed as a deputy to listen to the instructions.

"What did your thirteenth uncle say?"

The third master was very satisfied with Hongqing's humble behavior, but he didn't have any words of approval, he just nodded, and went straight to the point.

"So that my father will know that Uncle Thirteen has decided to compete with Uncle Fourteen tomorrow, and the child has already read this chapter, which is more secure and feasible than that of Uncle Fourteen."

Since the third master asked, Hongqing would not hide anything, so he first gave a programmatic conclusion.

"Oh?"

The third master is not concerned about whether the old thirteen will be on the book, but wants to know what the connotation of this chapter is, no side, military power has always been the foundation of the society, if the old thirteen took the opportunity of the whole army to control the army, for the third master, it is obviously not a good thing, but this is not easy to say clearly, the third master can only be noncommittal softly, with his eyes signaling Hongqing and then going down in detail.

"Father Wang Mingjian, the thirteenth uncle's excerpt is nearly 10,000 words, not only involving the renewal of armaments, but also not only the reorganization of the army, but also involving the institutional reform of the Ministry of War, in short, it is to promote the reorganization of the army with institutional innovation, and the renewal of armaments is moved with the first two, specifically, under the structure of the Ministry of War, the establishment of the General Staff Headquarters, the Logistics Headquarters, the Commanders of the Arms of the Armed Forces, and the establishment of military academies at all levels, so as to realize the professionalization of military education, comprehensively improve the command ability of generals at all levels, and provide basic officers for the new army, In order to achieve the purpose of military innovation, if we can really follow this line, the combat power of our Qing army can be increased by more than ten times, this is the blessing of the community, and my Qing Dynasty foundation will be forever secure! ”

The excerpt was originally written by Hongqing, and if I want to say it at this time, I can naturally recite it in full, but Hongqing didn't do it, but just elaborated the central idea of the excerpt.

"Well...... military affairs are so innovative, the movement is inevitably too big, if there is something big that can't be dropped, I'm afraid it's not appropriate?"

The third master doesn't understand the military affairs of the new army at all, even if Hongqing says it clearly, he is still confused, of course, the third master actually doesn't care about whether the military innovation can be successful, what he is really worried about is whether the old thirteen will rise because of this, because of this, the third master is unreasonably satisfied with Hongqing's answer, but it is not good to ask directly, so he can only nod in a deep voice, and ask what he is worried about.

"Back to the words of the father, the child has also been in the new army, and is not a stranger to the affairs of the new army, looking at the thirteenth uncle's change, just to protect the combat strength of the army at the same time, reasonably avoid the possibility of unscrupulous people supporting the army and self-respect, there is no other, from the structure of the military department, although it has the right to organize the army, but there is no power to transfer troops, and the country is divided into eight military regions, led by the eight governors respectively, each has a number of new military brigades, with 10,000 people as a unit, the formation of a division-level system, each division commander and the governor are four years in office, The rotation system ensures that the military regions and divisions will not be easily manipulated by ambitious people, and the existence of the military academy system also avoids to the greatest extent the possibility of relying on the close relatives of generals at all levels to reproduce, and at the same time, the configuration of the main forces and divisions is basically the same, even if the chief officer is rotated, it can also ensure that the successor can be familiar with the military in the shortest possible time, and will not affect the combat strength of the army. ”

The matter of military innovation is very cumbersome, and it is naturally impossible to explain it clearly in a few words, and the third master and Chen and Li are not very proficient in this way, Hongqing can only pick up the important aspects, even if so, it is also a long talk, but in the end, it gave the third master a clear answer.

"The thirteenth brother is really courageous, such a huge change, if you want to pass the court, I'm afraid it's not so easy, besides, it involves such a huge amount of business, and it is difficult to achieve it without a few years of operation, I am afraid that it is difficult to achieve it.

The third master still has great trust in Hongqing, although he himself can't figure out the connotation of this kind of military reform for a while, but Hongqing has made a guarantee, and the third master believes it, but he doesn't think that the old thirteen's change excerpt can easily pass the court discussion.

"Father's concern is very much, such a huge change can not be in place at one time, after all, you have to walk one step to go, the thirteenth uncle also wrote this article in the excerpt, according to what he said, the military academy is the core of this change, if this matter can be carried out, then everything can be done around it, as for the whole world military equipment update, you can slowly figure it, first take Zhili as a pilot, the results can be seen within more than a year, and when the Zhili army is complete, it is not too late to promote it to the whole world, if so, Don't worry about big things can't be done. ”

Hongqing has long considered all aspects of military reform, and has already had relevant countermeasures to the problems that the third master is worried about.

"Well, then let's wait for the old thirteen to go to the book, and then it depends on the situation, Master, Zicheng, do you two have any advice on this?"

As long as the military changes of the old thirteen will not affect the status of his own "prince", the third master is indispensable, of course, compared to the ambitious political enemy of the old fourteen, the third master is more inclined to neutral the old thirteen, but he does not intend to fully support it, in general, there is still a calculation of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, but because of the big stake, although the third master has made a decision in his heart, he is not in a hurry to say it, but threw the problem to Chen and Li.

"Wang Ye Mingjian, according to the subordinates, the dispute between the two elder brothers of the Ministry of War is certainly the better policy of the Thirteenth Master, however, the Lord is not suitable to help the Thirteenth Master, it is not a matter of justice, only in the Sacred Heart, therefore, the subordinates think that the road can support the policy of the Thirteenth Master, but in the specific implementation, but two points must be scored, and I think that the Thirteenth Master will go to the construction of military academies and the training of the new army, and the Fourteenth Master will manage the change of the structure of the Ministry of War, or the two are appropriate.

After so many years of experience, although Li Minquan's intellectual arithmetic ability is not as good as that of Old Master Chen, the difference is not big, although he has not been mentioned by Hongqing in advance, but his suggestions are to the key point of the matter, and this kind of balanced means is also extraordinarily slippery.

"Zicheng is very good, if this is the case, the emperor and Ama should be inaccurate, does the master think so?"

As soon as he heard Li Minquan's suggestion, the third master's eyes immediately lit up, no side, the fourteenth master has been operating in the military department for many years, deep-rooted, and it is appropriate for him to come forward to integrate the reform of the relevant institutions of the military department, of course, after the reform, the power of the old fourteenth in the military department will not only not increase, but will become smaller and smaller, there is no other, and the ear is constrained - whether it is the adjustment of the staff headquarters or the headquarters of various services, it is necessary to fall into the officers with combat experience from the outside, and the only one who can have combat experience in the new army is the 10,000 new troops in the Fengtai battalion. The general inside is either Hongqing's person or the old thirteen's person, no matter how the old fourteen adjusts, he can't get around this hurdle, so the third master also justifiably put his hand into the military department, like such a good thing, how can the third master disapprove, but for the sake of prudence, the third master still asked the old master Chen's opinion.

"What does the little prince think about this?"

Old Master Chen did not echo the words of the third master, nor did he comment on Li Minquan's suggestion, but changed hands and threw the problem to Hongqing, as soon as this remark came out, the eyes of the third master and Li Minquan immediately focused on Hongqing's body.

"Returning to the master's words, the student thinks that this matter can indeed be handled in this way, but he must not be in a hurry to express his position, after all, he must wait for the uproar of the court to do so, and then go to the book, or he can get its benefits."

Hongqing obviously didn't expect Old Master Chen to suddenly throw the question over, and couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't dare to slack off a little, and hurriedly put forward his own opinion.

"Yes, that's exactly how it should be!"

As soon as Hongqing's words came out, the third master didn't express his position immediately, but peeked at Old Master Chen, until he saw Old Master Chen nodding in approval, then he high-fived, and his tone was set excitedly......
