"Goodbye, Yangqu, but one day, I'll be back again!"

Li Jing rode on the tall horse, looked back at Yangqu City, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his own strength still can't fight with the imperial court after all!

The eunuch who came again brought a blank resignation for his subordinates, including the blank confession of the Yamen of the Shanxi Metropolitan Division, and allowed Li Jing to appoint himself to the position of general under the command of the chief military officer of Ningwu.

According to his letter to Zhang Zongheng, the imperial court issued an order to canonize Li Jing as the commander of the Shanxi capital and the commander of the Yamen, and led the deputy chief military officer of the town to guard the three passes.

Under him, Zhao Mosheng led the East Road Daizhou Assistant-Guarding General, Zheng Renbao led the West Road Deviation Assistant-Guarding General, Guo Sheng, Li Mao, and Tan Wu each had a garrison title, and the rest of the original generals were all called thousands of households, and the positions of hundreds of households were not equal.

What are you kidding, Zhenwuwei and Zhenxiwei are the numbers reserved by themselves to expand their armaments, if they can't accurately grasp these two armies, Li Jing is willing to keep these two establishments vacant, after all, the imperial court has no way, and if they don't free up their hands to destroy themselves, these two guards will not be able to rebuild one day.

Because they had already known Li Jing's willingness to appease in advance, everyone did not have much objection to this appeasement, but they were only a little dissatisfied with the silver given by the appeasement, Zhao Mosheng rode a horse to follow Li Jing at the moment, and he was even more blunt, "My lord, the court gave a mere 150,000 taels of silver, and asked us to collect the troops and never rebel again, and the price is also a little less." ”

It's just that he obviously didn't see the deep meaning in it, what Li Jing wanted was to constantly weaken the power of the imperial court, and at the same time not to ask to come to hinder his great cause, the five states of Daizhou, Baode, Yongning and Qilan, and Xinzhou in the north of Taiyuan Prefecture, he would never let it out again, and at the same time, the military attaché duties of these five states were all called in his own hands.

The magistrates of each county, although they do not have their own people and horses, but the officials under the head are all their own people, and the imperial court promised to exempt the taxes of dozens of counties in these five states within a year, with these buffers, no matter how hard they work to operate the trade routes, there are millions of taels of silver and materials and grain and grass looted, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers are in hand, are you still afraid of the imperial court?

Therefore, Li Jing just said calmly, "The situation is in me, this time and that time, we have now developed to a bottleneck, looking at the many people in each department, but the order can not be smooth, can not do their best to go into battle, armor and weapons can not be full, if the forced conquest continues, even if it wins for a while, it will become the death of the public, don't think that the imperial court has this strength at the moment, if we come with all our might, we will definitely not be able to resist it." ”

After saying this, Zhao Mosheng nodded approvingly, but he was still dissatisfied with the 500,000 silver and 300,000 grains proposed by his family, but the imperial court only gave 150,000 taels of silver, and the grain and grass were not given.

For this kind of thought, Li Jing can only patiently explain, "Even if the court can give it, I'm afraid Shanxi can't keep a point, do you think that thief, shouldn't you take advantage of the situation to sit big, then the trouble will be inextricable, the court will not have to send a large army into Jin, when the thief is defeated, the elite soldiers of the court, won't they also kill us with it?!" ”

"Okay, the ministries are allocated in accordance with the military order, Zheng Renbao takes the army to guard in the back, but there are too many materials to carry, I'm afraid it will take some time to return to Chunxian, the land of Xin County, the end is important, you must be heavily guarded, I want to order you to be the commander of the South Road, command the army stationed in Xin County, guard and monitor the imperial court, how are you going?"

Due to the agreement reached with the imperial court, Li Jing gave up the land of the Yangqu generation, and also gave up the newly occupied Pingding Prefecture, and ordered Tan Wu to gather all the people who were willing to follow, withdraw to Wutai through Meng County, and then wait for the follow-up order.

Zhao Mosheng thought for a while, thinking that he would follow Li Jing at home, until today, he actually achieved the rank of general of the imperial court, where is there anything not satisfied, "The lord's order, I dare not disobey, but stationed in Xin County, garrison Xinzhou, a few people, how to get along with the officials and troops in the south in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to choose for a while, and I also ask the lord to issue a charter, and his subordinates will use it as one." ”

Li Jing thought for a while, and felt that there were too many things backlogged in the army, whether it was the establishment of the whole army, or the setting up of military guidance, and the supervision officer to check and balance the military command, it needed to be carried out under a unified command, otherwise the yin and yang of the army would go against the yang, but I was afraid that there would be a way out, "In this way, first call the main army to be reorganized in Xinzhou, and then assign supervision and guidance to each army, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Mosheng thought about it for a while, and only felt that what Li Jing said before was that the authority given to the supervisor and instructor was too great, and he was simply the highest commander in the army in peacetime. "The supervision that the lord said involves things other than the army that should be in battle, whether it interferes with the whole military is too heavy, such as the front court supervising the army, I am afraid that it is quite constrained, and the first army will issue two orders!"

There is really no reason why he doesn't open his mouth to refute, if the supervisor is set according to Li Jing's actions, the general who will lead the troops will not have the slightest right to be independent, and besides, these supervisors can only act with Li Jing's might, doesn't it mean that all the armies are firmly controlled by Li Jing?

Although they are all loyal to Li Jing, none of them want someone around them to monitor everything and keep informing Li Jing.

Li Jing, who came from later generations, was deeply intoxicated with the kind of political commissar system, went deep into the grassroots, controlled the military power in hand, as long as he firmly controlled the political commissars at all levels, he would never have to worry about the chaos in the army, but he did not think it through, so he rashly withdrew from this system, and was naturally opposed by the generals, "Supervision is only the management of life, daily drills and battles, isn't it still commanded by you?" Why is there such resistance? ”

Zhao Mosheng was dumbfounded for a while, and he couldn't say it clearly, our military generals also want a certain degree of autonomy, Li Jing arranged a housekeeper mother-in-law who was comprehensive in all aspects, and no one could accept it safely, but if he wanted to say the right reason, he couldn't say anything, after all, the military judge had also served as part of the supervision before.

Thinking like this, he was speechless for a moment, just bowed his head and no longer answered, and even the first general under his command refused to promise support. (To be continued.) )
