The king of Shu took advantage of the defeat in the Hanzhong War, and then the disobedience of the Shu army in Hanzhong, began to express dissatisfaction with the military system of the Shu army, and bluntly talked about the benefits of the Zhao army's military system, and asked his courtiers whether it was feasible for the Shu army to learn the excellent military system of the Zhao State, which dominated the world with strong soldiers.

Situ Che's words immediately shocked the civil and military ministers in the hall, and at this moment, whether it was the civil ministers or the military generals, they immediately understood that the reason for the king's anger before, the purpose was here. What complains about the influence and prestige of Feng Yanzhang in the army, this is simply paving the way for this matter.

The civil officials are fine, but the generals in the hall suddenly jumped in their hearts. As the generals of the Shu army, which one of them did not have no cronies, and which one did not use the power in their hands to seek 'private' interests for themselves? Coupled with the prevalence of the big clans in the jurisdiction of the Shu army, which of these leading generals did not bring the children of the family into their position and use them as their cronies? Of course, these families, these leading generals, they can't shake Stuart's rule. However, they do affect the development of the Shu army and the strength of the Shu army.

However, all this is from the perspective of the country, from the perspective of the monarch, that is, the king of Shu, Situ Che. For these leading generals, if they follow the system of the Zhao army, the power in their hands will be reduced by at least half. That's right, in addition to leading the army to fight and being responsible for the command of the battlefield, other powers with practical benefits, such as issuing military salaries, performance evaluations, pensions, and officer promotions, were all deprived by the King of Shu. Of course, what is deprived is only the power to do what they want to do not do. If you stand as an upright general, this does not affect his true power.

Where is the king thinking about the defeat of Hanzhong, and where is complaining about the disaster caused by the seal of Yanzhang, which is clearly to attack the Shu army. But can they refute it? The defeat of Hanzhong is a good example in front of us.

"What? Do you have any other comments? Seeing that no one answered, a cold light appeared in the corner of Situ Che's eyes, and then he said in a cold voice, "Or do you also have the same idea of sealing the Yan Zhang, and want to turn the army under your command into a 'private' army?" ”

As soon as Situ Che's words came out, the faces of many generals in the hall suddenly turned pale, especially those generals who had military power in their hands and had great power, and they were even more cold sweat on their foreheads, afraid that they would be accidentally dealt with by the king in this name. Although they have the support of the big clan behind them, if they want to go against the king, it will naturally not work. Besides, although they have power in their hands, the army will never obey their will and be hostile to the king.

"Li Mingzhan, you are in charge of everything in the army, what do you mean? Is there any truth to what this king says? Situ Che smiled and asked Sima Li Mingzhan, the marching officer of the Shu Palace.

Li Mingzhan already knew what Situ Che wanted to do, and he was also the person in charge of the conspiracy with Situ Che, so naturally there would be no difficulty. Immediately said in a deep voice: "Returning to the king, there are 10,000 ministers, and what the king said is very true." Zhao is strong, and the world sees it in his eyes. Zhao Jun is strong, and there is no one in the world who is incompetent, this is a thing that everyone in the world knows. The system of the Zhao army is worth learning from for all the princes, because this system is extremely beneficial to the country and the army. ”

After a pause, Li Mingzhan continued: "Of course, it is also very beneficial for the leading generals. At the very least, it allows them to concentrate on fighting with the leader, instead of putting their minds on other aspects, and finally harm the country, their family and themselves. Therefore, the minister thought that the king said, and our Shu army should be immediately restructured and implemented. ”

"Excellent! You can say that again! Situ Che stroked his palm and exclaimed. Immediately, Situ Che looked at Jiang Ruicheng in the military department of Shu State, Jiang Ruicheng was not only the military department of Shu State, but also the head of the Jiang family.

"Jiang Aiqing, what do you think? Seeing that you seem to have something to say, it seems that the king has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to speak! ”

Hearing Situ Che say this, Jiang Ruicheng's face tightened, and he became even more afraid of Situ Che in his heart. Jiang Ruicheng knew very well where he had something to say. He didn't dare to speak easily about Jiang Poyun's defeat in Hanzhong before, where would he take the initiative to speak about such things that involved many interests. However, Situ Che pulled him out, but he, Jiang Ruicheng, did not dare to object, and there was no reason to object. Because this matter is related to the defeat of Hanzhong, if he Jiang Ruicheng agrees with the meaning of the King of Shu, then the responsibility for the defeat of Hanzhong is naturally the responsibility of the Shu army in Hanzhong, because the military system of Shu is not good.

If he, Jiang Ruicheng, objected to this matter, then he was also explaining that the defeat of Hanzhong was not because the Hanzhong Shu army did not obey military orders, not because the Shu army system was wrong, but because he Jiang Poyun's ability was problematic. Then, the responsibility for the defeat of Hanzhong is naturally Jiang Poyun's. And Jiang Poyun's ability is not good, but he can become the general of Zhenbei, he has an inextricable guilt in the military department, is it because Jiang Poyun is a member of your Jiang clan, so you Jiang Ruicheng used the power in his hands to push Jiang Poyun to the position of general of Zhenbei?

As a result, he lost the war, and he, Jiang Ruicheng, a soldier in the army, could not escape responsibility. Jiang Ruicheng knew very well that everything the King of Shu did today had already been arranged. Although Jiang Ruicheng and Lord Xu both understood that Jiang Poyun served as the general of Zhenbei and went to Hanzhong to take over the position of Feng Yanzhang, it was not he Jiang Ruicheng who contributed, but was directly appointed by the King of Shu. But who would dare to put this responsibility on the king? Therefore, as long as someone brings up this matter, it will naturally be him Jiang Ruicheng. Even, even let the Jiang family be swept out of the Shu court. If that were the case, his Jiang clan would not have the ability to continue to survive in Chengdu Mansion. He believes that if the King of Shu hates it, there are not a few people who are afraid of falling into the well.

And Jiang Ruicheng knew very well that Situ Che could only say this in the main hall at the moment, so it was naturally arranged a long time ago. Look at what happened before and after, if there was no arrangement, he Jiang Ruicheng would not believe it. Therefore, among the officials, there must be people who know about the move of the King of Shu. If he does not agree, the next moment, he will be exposed for his 'private' use of power, and he will not know people, resulting in a crushing defeat of the army and the loss of the land of Hanzhong.

"What? What scruples does Jiang Aiqing have to worry about? Just open your mouth, and the king will take charge for you. Seeing that Jiang Ruicheng was a little stunned, Situ Che spoke again.

Jiang Ruicheng understood that the king was telling himself that if he agreed, then everything would be fine, and the king was still standing behind him Jiang Ruicheng. If he disagrees, it means that he, Jiang Ruicheng and the Jiang family, have nothing to do with the Shu Kingdom.

"Returning to the king, the minister has thought deeply, and also thinks that our Shu army can follow the example of the Zhao army system and reform the situation in the army, so as to avoid the recurrence of the defeat of Feng Yanzhang and Hanzhong. The Zhao army is strong, and if our Shu army wants to defeat the other party, it will not be a surprise move, but I am afraid that it will not be easy. Yes, the minister thought that the king's intention was feasible. ”

Hearing Jiang Ruicheng say this, Situ Che chuckled and said: "Jiang Aiqing is really familiar with military affairs, it seems that Jiang Aiqing will be there in the future, so you should worry about it." ”

Listening to the king's appreciation, Jiang Ruipin sighed secretly in his heart. As soon as he opened his mouth like this before, he had completely offended all the generals, especially the powerful generals and their families. Even if the king values it, it can't make him have the slightest excitement. He is not Li Mingzhan, not only from the Li family, but also Situ Che's cronies, and the core personnel of Shu power. He is a soldier in the Langzhong, and there is a 'waiter' Lang and a book on it. Even if there are vacancies in all the ministries of Shu now, this does not mean that this position does not exist. These levels have always existed. If he wants to sit in the military department, he has to go up two levels. But among them, they have to receive the hostility of other great clans and the hindrance of others.

Of course, what Jiang Ruicheng thinks at the moment is naturally not something Situ Che needs to consider. After asking Jiang Ruicheng to play, he turned to several other civil officials, and moreover, he had arranged it in advance, and there was no big family involved. After a while, many civil officials in the hall basically agreed or passively agreed with Situ Che's meaning. Even if a few people disagreed, they did not dare to oppose it directly, but suggested that Situ Che ask the military generals on the grounds that he was a civilian official and was not familiar with military affairs.

The reason why these officials dared to oppose Situ Che's proposal was not because they had high positions and great power in the Shu Kingdom, but because they were promoted by the big clan to raise objections, and they also wanted more officials to oppose it.

However, Situ Che didn't pay attention to these people at all, and he didn't give these people a chance. After the third official said this, Situ Che immediately said angrily: "Not familiar with military affairs? Nowadays, if there is a big 'chaos' today, the important affairs of the country are not out of military affairs. It's just that you're not familiar with military affairs, don't you even have eyes? Can't see the gap between our army and Zhao's army? Didn't see the reason why Zhao Guo was strong? Have you never cared about and paid attention to the general situation of my Shu Kingdom? ”

Without waiting for the official to defend, Situ Che shouted coldly: "Such an incompetent and talentless person, what does this king know what is the use?" What is the use of my Shu court? "Immediately he ordered that he should be stripped of all his duties and that he should never be recalled. Of course, the previous two were also implicated, and among them, there were many high-ranking officials in the ministry.

Situ Che's move suddenly made the officials in the hall who had other ideas and thoughts dare not have any objections, and Situ Che's next inquiry, almost all the civil officials expressed their support. Not supported? The previous officials are examples, and the punishment of depriving them of all their posts and never ending forever is not so easy to bear.

"Lin Aiqing, what do you think?" In the end, Situ Che directly asked Lin Shiwen, who he wanted to ignore him.

Lin Shiwen said with a smile: "What the king said is a great thing for my Shu army. If this happens, our Shu army will be reborn from the ashes, and only then will it have the ability to confront the Zhao army. The king's move, the Shu army is very fortunate, and it should be done! If King Yong is alive, he will also greatly praise the king's move. ”

Lin Shiwen said this, and suddenly in the main hall, it caused quite a stir. Although Lin Shiwen did not like Situ Che, his influence in Shu was no less than that of Situ Che. You must know that Lin Shiwen was one of the three important ministers under King Yong in the past, and he had a great influence in the Yongjun system. Although Situ Che has now turned the Yongjun system into the Shu army system, the Shu army is still changed from the Yongjun, and the foundation of it is still the Yongjun of the past.

Situ Che naturally understood the meaning of Lin Shiwen's opening, and he also knew that Lin Shiwen would definitely not refuse his move. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Lin Shiwen either. However, Lin Shiwen directly agreed, and everyone praised it, which really made Situ Che satisfied. To be honest, this is also the first time that Lin Shiwen has praised him so refreshingly. Because of this, Situ Che's feeling for Lin Shiwen suddenly became much better.

Well...... With the influence of Lin Shiwen, if this restructuring starts, apart from him, there is really no one more suitable than him to preside over this matter.

"General Zuo Gao Xin, what do you think?" Situ Che finally brought the topic to the generals, and moreover, the generals with real power, and asked them to express their views and support for the operation.

General Zuo Gao Xin couldn't help but smile bitterly, to say that he did not use the power in his hands to seek 'personal' interests for himself, it was naturally impossible. It would be impossible to say that he did not understand the impact of this move on the Shu army. Although he was a little unhappy with this move, at this moment, did he have a choice?

The minister also agreed with the king's intentions, and this move was ...... This move is a big benefit to our Shu army! Gao Xin, the general of the left, became the first powerful general to approve of this move. Of course, this is the only choice he can make. If he doesn't agree, then the guilt of wanting to turn the Shu army into a 'private' army and having bad intentions will come to him. You must know that this crime, but a capital crime, is different from the disapproval of civil officials. It will definitely not be solved by simply removing all official positions, that is to lose the head.

Subsequently, the right general Zhang Tong, the former general Xu Zizhen, and the later general Han Le, and many other powerful generals were asked by Situ Che one after another to make a choice. At this moment, where do they have any other choice, they have to speak, agreeing with what Situ Che said, changing the military system of the Shu army.

"Haha...... Very good! It seems that all the ministers are the ministers of the humerus who care about my Shu Kingdom, very good, this king is very happy! As Zuo Cheng said, this move is very beneficial to our Shu army, and all the ministers agree with this matter, so take this matter as the top priority of our Shu country. This is not something that can be said and done, but should be implemented immediately. Situ Che said with a smile.

"Lin Aiqing, this matter is related to the future of the Shu army, it is very important, and not ordinary people can be responsible. In my Shu army, there is no one more suitable to be in charge of this matter than you except you. Then this king will arrange manpower to cooperate with you and take full responsibility for this matter, I don't know if Lin Aiqing can take on this responsibility? Situ Che looked at Lin Shiwen and asked.

Lin Shiwen was stunned for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Minister, you will definitely live up to the king's trust!" ”

"Very good, the military system has been restructured, and the rest is not in a hurry for the time being. However, from this day onwards, all matters concerning the military of the various ministries and armies, such as military judges, logistics officers, merit record evaluations, and bereavement pensions, shall be directly arranged by you, and all the ministries shall be directly under the jurisdiction of the king, and the officers and generals of all ministries shall not interfere, nor shall they interfere in such matters from this day forward. On the spot, Situ Che took back a part of the rights that originally belonged to the generals of the various ministries into his own hands, even the military department, and he had no right to interfere.

Subsequently, Situ Che handed over the right to recruit new soldiers and train new soldiers to the Ministry of War, which was responsible for the unified responsibility of the Ministry of War and had no direct relationship with the generals of the various departments, and the appointment and dismissal of officers and colonels was also carried out by the Ministry of War and Lin Shiwen.

Originally, it was a matter of the Shu army fighting in Hanzhong, but as a result, it became the introduction of Situ Che to rectify the army and recover the authority of the leading general. At this moment, I don't know how many generals and officials are eager to kill those generals and colonels who surrendered to the Zhao army in Hanzhong hundreds of times. If it weren't for them, the Shu army would not have been defeated in Hanzhong, and if it weren't for the defeat of the Shu army in Hanzhong, the king of Shu would not have taken advantage of this matter to 'get' the restructured army. They don't even have a reason to refute it.

"Okay, the army is restructured, let's talk about it now. However, the defeat of Hanzhong had a profound impact on our Shu army. Situ Che's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "For the land of Hanzhong, our Shu army paid a lot of price, but we didn't get what we should have gotten. Moreover, the land of Hanzhong is located in the north of Chengdu, which affects the safety of our Shu country, and cannot be ignored. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that we have retreated from Hanzhong, the land of Hanzhong has fallen into the hands of the Zhao army, and I, Yizhou, have also received threats from the Zhao army. So, we can't stop there. What are your thoughts on the current situation? ”

Li Mingzhan, the right man, knew that his own king had not yet taken his mind back from the land of Hanzhong, but now that the Shu army had been defeated and retreated, it was indeed not suitable to continue to fight against the Zhao army. So, he said in a deep voice: "The king, the minister thinks that now our Shu army should be restructured and trained soldiers. As for the land of Hanzhong, we can no longer compete with the Zhao army now. Not only because we have lost our foothold in Hanzhong, but also because our army has not yet recovered from the previous battle with the Han army, and the armies of all walks of life are not ready for the big war. ”

Hearing Li Mingzhan say this, Situ Che couldn't help frowning, and said in a deep voice: "You mean, Hanzhong was defeated, and we will forget it like this?" How can this king not know what thou hast feared? However, the land of Hanzhong is too important to us. You must know that this land in Hanzhong is originally part of our Yizhou. If we occupy Hanzhong, then our Shu army and Zhao army will occupy a favorable side. Even if he can't go north to attack Zhao, it won't make it easy for the Zhao army to go south. ”

"But if Zhao Jun is allowed to stand firm in Hanzhong, then it will definitely be the biggest bad thing for our Shu Kingdom! With the foothold of Hanzhong, the Zhao army can hoard a large amount of grain and grass materials in Hanzhong, and can dispatch a large army from Hanzhong at any time to take an offensive against our Yizhou, so that our Shu army can only passively defend. ”
