Chapter Seventy-Seven: The End (Part II)
Clearance...... It was already expected by Xiang Jingwu, but it was strange! Unless these paper readers are desperate for their whole family's lives, and the black pot of "betraying the country" and Liu Fan will die together, they can only compromise. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although he had expected it, Xiang Jingwu still let out a long breath when he heard the confirmed news, and said to Zhang Kang with a smile: "I almost lost to you, it seems that I finally didn't see the wrong person." ”
Zhang Kang smiled bitterly in his heart, and couldn't help but think: Will Your Majesty lose? Even if you lose, it is still a win, the slave and His Majesty bet, how can there be any reason not to lose? Zhang Kang said with a bitter face: "Zhao Feng didn't enter the first class, it was the slave who lost, and the slave was convinced." ”
Xiang Jingwu waved his hand and said flatly: "This palace test is not over yet, if Liu Fan does not win the champion, then it will not be considered as a loss, let's go, set up the Baohe Palace, I want to meet these protégés of mine." ”
Xiang Jingwu drove to the Baohe Palace, which caused a lot of commotion in the Baohe Palace, and the people here, in addition to the inner attendants, there were eight volume readers and ten tribute students, everyone obeyed the rules, bowed down together, and shouted: "Long live my emperor." ”
Xiang Jingwu looked energetic, with one hand on his back waist, and the other hand supporting everyone, domineering and leaking: "Let's all be flat, what, Zhuqing, there are only these few people left?" ”
Liu Xi was so ashamed that he didn't dare to speak, and Du Xiang replied: "Back to Your Majesty's words, there are one hundred and eleven tributes this year, and after a round of strategy, ten people have passed. ”
Xiang Jingwu nodded and said, "Read it." ”
Du Xiang knew the rules, and said to the ten tributes: "The official points to the Mao, and the point to the Mao." ”
"Liu Fan."
Liu Fan stood up, looked at Xiang Jingwu, the emperor's uncle, and smiled at Xiang Jingwu, but did not say hello, and said with a clear eye: "The student is here." ”
"Xu Changqing ......"
"Students in ......"
………………
Xiang Jingwu looked at these tribute students one by one, and couldn't help laughing: "Bring the rolls made by my protégé to me to see." ”
Some eunuchs had already received the papers of these ten people and hurriedly presented them.
Xiang Jingwu sat on the royal chair, looked at it seriously, when he saw the strategy proposed by Liu Fan, he was thoughtful, it can be said that several points of Liu Fan's control of barbarism are deeply in line with his wishes, and Xiang Jingwu's strategy is through the long-term staff planning of the ministers, which is the crystallization of the wisdom of some henchmen and Xiang Jingwu, but Liu Fan is still a scholar who does not listen to things outside the window in the eyes of outsiders, and it is particularly rare to be able to detect so many points so old-fashioned, and to be able to prescribe the right medicine, which makes Xiang Jingwu have some kind of illusion, feels that this Liu Fan is simply an old fritter who has been in politics for decades.
For example, Liu Fan's first article is to propose that the barbarians attack and disturb several provinces, and it is not possible to rely on the governors of each province to fight for themselves, and the Turks are wandering criminals, today in Gansu, tomorrow they may go to Shanxi, if each province does its own thing, it is easy to be led by their noses, so Liu Fan proposed to set up a governor of the north, control the soldiers and horses in the north, and specialize in controlling the barbarians, so that this kind of unclear responsibility and power can be avoided.
At the same time, Liu Fan raised some concerns about the guards and troops in the north, the country and the Turks have been in dispute for a long time, and the soldiers and horses in the north have always lost more and won less, since this is the case, then it is necessary to reorganize several autocratic Turkic armies, Liu Fan also put forward a few suggestions in this regard, and they are also deeply in line with Xiang Jingwu's intentions.
Xiang Jingwu continued to read, other people's strategies made him feel passable, although a little naïve and even absurd, but after all, it was made by scholars who stayed at home, these people did not have too much experience, it was enough to be able to reach this level, but now it looks like Liu Fan has clearly listed this strategy to deal with barbarians in detail, not only putting forward the weaknesses and strengths of the Turks, but also putting forward some disadvantages and advantages of the Great Chu official army, and finally making a summary, not only let the reader know at a glance, several of the suggestions, It is also refreshing, where can a reader write, I am afraid that the governors of the provinces in the north do not have such a clear understanding and insight.
Of course, whether this thing is good or not depends on the people who see it, just like the noble Liu Xi, who thinks that this kind of strategy is inferior, but for Xiang Jingwu, it is like a treasure, in the final analysis, it is still the wise who see the wise, and the benevolent see the benevolent.
The more Xiang Jingwu looked at it, the deeper his eyes became, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: If it weren't for Xuanyu being Concubine Shu's beloved nephew, and I watched him grow up, I was afraid that I wouldn't believe that this was a strategy he made, this is the real way of the world. ”
How did he know that Liu Fan's proposals were all seen in his previous life, and later generations also set up assumptions about resisting aggression, such as the setting of governors, such as no longer relying on the military service system, but turning to a limited recruitment system, and so on.
Liu Fan stood on the shoulders of future generations and combined with what he saw and heard in this era, polished with super high writing, and finally wrote the article in one go, and the high vision was not comparable to that of the same year.
The tens of thousands of words of policy theory sprinkled with excitement made Xiang Jingwu's heart surge, and there were not only many things that resonated with him in his heart, but also gave Xiang Jingwu a lot of inspiration and thinking.
For example, recruitment, how to recruit soldiers? How do soldiers train? This has always been the weakness of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War is a civilian yamen, acting too generally, they are mainly responsible for the promotion and merit examination of military attachés, as well as the allocation of grain and grass, although there are also methods of drilling, but the civil officials and masters emphasize teaching but not art, thinking that as long as how it is, the soldiers will be how they will be, in fact, they are all fake and empty, fooling people.
However, Liu Fan summed up a set of methods for training troops, that is, the so-called soldiers are expensive but not too expensive, and if there are many soldiers, they are scattered, and it is easy to cause chaos; in fact, they no longer give food to train the troops, but give them silver to train the troops, which greatly increases the enthusiasm of the officers and men and greatly simplifies the outdated rules in the army, such as day and night drills, and so on.
This kind of military training method is available in ancient and modern China and abroad, in fact, it is nothing, but for the princes of the DPRK and China, this thing is obviously not very suitable for their appetite, but Xiang Jingwu is favored, and feels quite reasonable, he is a very realistic person, a realistic person of course knows that a few empty words are useless to Qiu Ba, and if you don't give enough protection, just a few words of national righteousness, a few words of benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith want people to sell your life. It's a joke!
Liu Fan's strategy paper is very detailed, and some subtleties also take a lot of pen and ink. Xiang Jingwu nodded secretly, and when he looked at other people's policies, he already tasted like chewing wax, in his opinion, Liu Fan's strategy was real, compared with it, other people's policies were too false, and they were all too wild, what edict to tell the world to condemn Turkic crimes, and what kind of soldiers must be brave, and everyone is vying to be the first. To put it bluntly, this is empty talk, clichés, Emperor Xuanzhi and Emperor Hongwen will believe it, but Emperor Chu Gaozu and people like Xiang Jingwu will never believe it. Of course, Emperor Chu Gaozu and Xiang Jingwu are different, Chu Gaozu does not believe it, but he will also advocate, this is the so-called doing ** while building a memorial arch. Advocating this kind of so-called empty talk is for political purposes, but what should we do or how we should do it is based on reality. But when it came to Xiang Jingwu Dynasty, the situation was different. The reason why Emperor Gaozu of Chu can advocate it is because in the early days of the Chu Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of the Chu army has been maintained at its peak, so even if it is advocated, it will not hurt, but in Xiang Jingwu's Ming Wu Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of the Chu army has been unbearable and has been eroded to the bones, so to a certain extent, it is necessary to set things right, otherwise the Chu Dynasty will be one step closer to the death dynasty!
