On the contrary, what Li Hong didn't expect was that it would be Dai Zhide who stood up against it this time.

And Dai Zhide also said straightforwardly.

"Your Highness's law can indeed improve the military strength, and the military expenditure must also be borne by the imperial court, but the old minister still has a question, according to His Highness's method, it is indeed possible to hide troops from the people, and if there is a war, the advantages of the recruitment system can also be reflected, but has His Highness ever considered the impact of this move on local stability?"

To tell the truth, although Dai Zhide is well-versed in the past and present, he is a literati after all, but he is not very familiar with the way of the military formation, so he can only consider this matter from the perspective of government affairs.

Military spending is one thing, and on the other hand, what worries Dai Zhide the most is the problem of local tranquility.

You must know that no matter how inferior the combat strength of these ordinary armies is compared with the elite armies, they are after all trained soldiers, and if they are released back to the countryside in five years, then the factors of local instability will greatly increase.

Moreover, the increasing force of the soldiers will also disobey the jurisdiction, which will cause considerable trouble to the local officials.

This is what Dai Zhide is most worried about.

"Master Dai is worried that the soldiers will make the local uneasy and breed strong people?"

Li Hong pondered for a moment and asked.

After Dai Zhide nodded slightly, Li Hong's brows were also furrowed, this is indeed a difficult problem to solve.

After a pause, Li Hong turned to Pei Xingjian and said.

"General Pei, Lone has always had a doubt, and I want to ask General Pei! Why is it that in the same Tang Dynasty army, only some soldiers are well-disciplined and disciplined, while some have become deserters, and even worse, they have become ruffians who dare to confront Shangguan? ”

In fact, Li Hong has long had doubts about this.

At the beginning, although his Donggong Sixth Rate was transferred from the forbidden army, he was actually a group of ruffians, if Li Hong hadn't used various means to subdue him, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so smooth now.

But on the contrary, Li Hong has seen the drills of the forbidden army, these soldiers of the forbidden army guarding the imperial city, even though they have never experienced real battlefield fighting, but their combat power is superhuman, especially worth mentioning is that the military discipline is strict, and no one dares to violate the law and discipline.

I have to say that the gap between the two is so big that it doesn't look like a character from the army.

Pei Xingjian was stunned, and then smiled bitterly.

"Your Highness doesn't know, but all the spirit of the soldiers is gathered in the general's body, if the general's rewards and punishments are clear, and the military law is strict, the soldiers under his command must be strict in military discipline and uphold righteousness, but if it is the opposite, the generals are incompetent and incompetent, hesitating, and even more deducting food and salary, filling their own pockets, then the soldiers under their command will be slippery and difficult to take on heavy responsibilities!"

In fact, this is a secret that is not a secret in the army, and a general is the soul of an army, but for some reason, the emperor generally does not let a chief general lead an army for too long to avoid the formation of a complete descendant army.

However, this can certainly ensure the control of the imperial power over the army to the greatest extent, but at the same time, the quality of an army becomes uneven.

And if they encounter a mediocre and incompetent commander, the soldiers will quickly become ruffians, and it will be difficult to turn back again.

Pei Xingjian knew this in his heart, but he was helpless, because it was far beyond his ability.

Unexpectedly, after listening to Pei Xingjian's words, Li Hong's face showed a smile and he spoke.

"What Dai Shi is worried about is nothing more than that these soldiers are not well managed, and they will eventually become ruffians, and after they are released from service, they will be a disaster to the township and breed strong people.

However, General Pei also said that the essence of an army lies in the generals, and he believes that if the army is led by General Pei himself, the military discipline will be strict, and even if the soldiers are returned to their hometowns, it will not become the cause of local instability, but will be of great benefit to local security! ”

As soon as the words came out, Dai Zhide was also slightly silent.

After all, he doesn't know much about military affairs, but since Pei Xingjian said so, he must not be wrong.

The old man frowned and continued.

"Even so, Your Highness must understand that there are only a few people who are as strict as General Pei and have excellent strategies, and if they really follow His Highness's law, there will still be many soldiers and heroes, how to solve this matter?"

This time, Dai Zhide's tone softened a little, but he still frowned, looking distressed.

On the contrary, Li Hong smiled slightly and cast his gaze in the direction of Li Ji, making the latter a little confused for a while.

"It's up to the British Princess!"

Li Ji looked stunned, he didn't understand why something suddenly happened to him, but the old fox's intuition made him feel that Li Hong must not be well-intentioned.

Therefore, as soon as Li Ji's vigilance came up, his tone became much lighter.

"Your Highness looks down on the old minister, the old minister is already old and frail, I'm afraid he won't be able to help much!"

As he spoke, Li Ji's originally straight waist instantly stiffened down, and he coughed twice to show that he was really "embarrassed by the heavy responsibility"!

It made Li Hong a little crying and laughing, this old fox is still so cunning.

But this time he came prepared, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face, which suddenly made Li Ji's heart even more uneasy.

Immediately after, he saw Dai Zhide turn around, bow down, and speak.

What does the British public mean by this? In today's court, the generals are all headed by the British duke, and Li Shinian is highly virtuous, which is the pillar of the country, how can he say it lightly! What's more, if the reform of the military system is not led by the boss, who can have such prestige to carry it out? Although he is not talented, he is ashamed to be in the position of the chief assistant of the political hall, please don't shirk this matter! ”

After speaking, Dai Zhide arched his hand and solemnly saluted Li Ji, but it made Li Ji smile bitterly.

I couldn't help but scold Li Hong as a little fox in my heart!

He could refuse Li Hong's proposal, but if Dai Zhide asked him so solemnly, he would have to think about it seriously.

Although for him, Dai Zhide is a junior, but I have to say that in today's court, Dai Zhide is in the political hall and has deep authority, plus he is the prince's teacher, he will inevitably have a bright future in the future, and Li Ji also has to think about the future of the military.

And no matter what, he can see that Dai Zhide is a person who really worries about the country, and he can play a scoundrel with Li Hong, but he can't do this in front of such a righteous gentleman.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Ji couldn't help but bite it, this little fox must have done it on purpose!

However, he smiled bitterly and spoke.

"What is Dai Xiang talking about, if the court needs an old man, the old man must do his best!"

It's a pity that as soon as he finished saying this, Li Ji saw a smile flashing on Li Hong's face, and his heart sank.

Then I heard it, Li Hong said with a smile.

"Then Gu is here to thank the British Duke for the future generals!" (To be continued.) )
