Chapter 962: To Each His Own (3)
"Son-in-law, traitor, bastard ......"
As soon as Hongqing left, Emperor Chengde's originally reluctant smile immediately collapsed, and he picked up the tea bowl on a few sons with a pale face, and fell heavily to the ground, roaring angrily in his mouth, and that kind of madness was like a mad dog.
"Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry."
As soon as Emperor Chengde broke out like this, Li Dequan, who was waiting outside the study, couldn't hold it back, and hurriedly rushed into the study, hurriedly rushed to the front, kowtowing while begging bitterly.
"Anger? You call me to calm my anger, hmph, this rebel has been deceived to my head, how can I calm my anger, the rebel has no virtue, dare to treat me like this, I, I ......, just go, call Fang Bao and Li Minquan to me! ”
Li Dequan is loyal, but Emperor Chengde's anger is so easy to dissipate, but seeing that he is like an angry lion roaring and roaring in the study, but even if he is already very angry, he didn't dare to say words like killing Hongqing, and it is obvious that he is already afraid of Hongqing in his heart.
"Wow!"
Hearing Emperor Chengde's instructions, Li Dequan didn't dare to delay a little, hurriedly and respectfully agreed, and hurriedly withdrew from the study.
"Your Majesty."
Yesterday, such a big change happened, and all the ministers of military aircraft failed to sleep well, Fang and Li were no exception, and they had to rush into the palace early this morning, and they couldn't help but be a little tired, and the voice of the salute inevitably revealed a thick tiredness.
"Look, give me a good look, that rebel deceives me too much, I, I ......, alas, ......"
After waiting for Fang and Li to finish their salutes, Emperor Chengde was already furious and threw Hongqing's fold in front of the two, scolding and lamenting, as if he had been greatly wronged.
The excerpt is very long, thousands of words, but there are not too many falsehoods, and even the detailed rules are rarely involved, most of them are framework clauses, and the meaning is expressed very clearly, that is, to carry out a thorough reform of the military and political affairs of the whole country, abolish the military juju, in addition to the existing military academy in Beijing, and then set up two army command colleges in Jinling and Xi'an, and set up the Central Military Academy in Beijing to train middle and senior generals, and all newly promoted officers are taken up by military cadets; Second, reform the mechanism of the military department, and set up a staff headquarters, a logistics headquarters, a branch of the armed forces and other institutions, so as to improve the structure of the armed forces; Third, carry out a thorough reform of the existing army system, divide the army into three categories: border defense forces, main group armies, and local garrison troops, and set up eight main force group armies, each of which consists of three infantry divisions, one cavalry division, and one artillery division, with a total strength of more than 55,000 troops, stationed in Jinling, Xi'an, Chengdu, Jinan, Jingshi, Shengjing, Guangzhou, and Kunming. The northeastern frontier army was expanded to 50,000, while the local garrison troops were completely reduced, and garrison battalions were no longer set up in each county, and only one battalion of 500 garrisons was retained in a prefecture, equipped with light weapons, for the purpose of local law and order, and all responsibilities for suppressing bandits and appeasing the localities were fully transferred to the main group armies. Fourth, the military rank system was implemented, the original military system was abolished, the military uniforms were updated, and military uniforms at all levels were added to the military rank display to facilitate the identification of officers and soldiers.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is too big and has a lot at stake, so it is really not appropriate to act suddenly, otherwise, I am afraid that there is a risk of Tai'a holding on to it, so you must not be careless."
Although the excerpt is long, but after all, when it comes to reading it, Fang and Li are both quick-minded people, and when they look at the text, they can almost see ten lines at a glance, even if they kneel together to read it, it didn't take much time to go through the excerpts, but the performance is very different Fang Bao was silent, but Li Minquan said in a loud voice.
"Well, Zicheng's words are the way to seek the country, and I also think about it, what does Mr. Linggao think?"
If you really implement military reform according to Hongqing's excerpt, there is only one consequence, that is, not only will the military power be completely grasped by Hongqing, but all places will also be under Hongqing's monitoring, not to mention that it is difficult for others to shake Hongqing, even Emperor Chengde is afraid that he has to look at Hongqing's face to act, so it is a little difficult to say who is the emperor in the end, there is no doubt that Emperor Chengde is naturally unwilling to do so, and he hopes that the ministers will stand up against this chapter, of course, Emperor Chengde did not intend to explain the relationship between Hongqing's withdrawal and this chapter, and it was clear that he wanted to mislead the judgment of Fang and Li.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is not good at military affairs, so I really don't dare to talk about it."
As for Emperor Chengde's little trick, it's really just an axe in the banmen, how can he hide it from Fang, Li and the two Hongqing just played a trick on the side of the Qingjun yesterday, and entered the palace early this morning to take out such an excerpt of military changes, not so much to discuss the military aircraft with Emperor Chengde, but to give an ultimatum, such a simple way, if you can't see through, it will be in vain to call the wise, of course, Li Minquan has already stood on the opposite side of Hongqing, how can he make Emperor Chengde happy? But Fang Bao didn't plan to go through such troubled waters, and vague words became Fang Bao's best choice.
"Well...... Mr. Linggao is too modest, so let's put it this way, I intend to slow down the regulations of this change, but I am afraid that there will be changes in the Fengtai camp, what can Mr. Linggao teach me?"
was blocked by Fang Bao like this, and Emperor Chengde's face that had just eased down immediately became a little unpleasant, but at this moment, it was the time to employ people, but it was really not good to lose his temper with Fang Bao, and in desperation, he could only grit his teeth and tell the true intention of summoning Fang and Li to come.
“……”
As soon as Emperor Chengde's such a difficult request came out, not only was he speechless, but Li Minquan, who was full of satisfaction to please Emperor Chengde, also closed his mouth, no side, Hongqing now has an army of more than 100,000 people, and there are many supporters in the government and the opposition, if you can't give Hongqing a satisfactory answer, there is obviously only one consequence, that is, the old incident of Xuanwumen is repeated, at this time, if anyone dares to make a big deal about the military and political reform, it will be just if it is not spread, but if Hongqing is informed, the end is only worrying.
"What? It's all dumb, huh! Zicheng, come on! ”
Emperor Chengde waited for a while, but he didn't see Fang Bao say anything, and his heart suddenly became angry, and after snorting heavily, he named Li Minquan again.
"Your Majesty is angry, the minister is still the previous opinion, this charter must not be done, however, the matter is serious, Your Majesty is indeed not suitable to come forward to oppose it, it should be dealt with by the court, the minister has a strategy, or can untie this knot, when ......"
Li Minquan's mind was very smart, although he didn't say anything before, but in his heart, he had already stopped thinking about it, and when he heard Emperor Chengde call him, he didn't panic, and calmly told his thoughts.
"Well, then let's do it first, and if there is anything to discuss later, it's all about it."
Emperor Chengde was not a person with great opinions, but when he heard Li Minquan's suggestion, his brows wrinkled slightly, and after thinking about it for a while, he felt that he should be somewhat sure, so he didn't say more, let alone ask Fang Bao's opinion again, and Qiankun made a final decision arbitrarily.
"The ministers are leaving."
As soon as they heard Emperor Chengde's instructions, Fang and Li didn't dare to stay any longer, so they bowed and saluted together, and each of them exited the study, their faces were exactly the same calm, but their eyes were completely different, Fang Bao's eyes were obviously full of worry, and Li Minquan's eyes were full of excitement that could not be concealed......
"No more!"
In the study of Prince Yong's mansion, in the face of the situation that has not been formed, the fourth master's original annoyance suddenly became a little more annoying, a handful of the plate was disturbed, Huo Erqi, impetuous pace back and forth in the study, the face was so gloomy that it could almost drip water, there was no other, they were all troubled by yesterday's Fengtai battalion mutiny, under the sleepless night, the liver fire was already big, I thought that playing chess could change my mind, but I never thought that I lost again, and the fourth master's mood can be good.
"Huh."
The fourth master was already in a hurry, but Wu Sidao didn't take it to heart at all, even if the fourth master was wandering back and forth like an ant on a hot pot, Wu Sidao just laughed, and the wind and clouds were light, as if there was nothing to do.
"Sir, what do you think will happen to the Fengtai camp?"
After pacing back and forth for a while, the fourth master not only did not calm down, but became a little more anxious, and the tone of the question was full of confusion and impatience.
"Don't worry, the news will be there, and wait for yourself."
The fourth master was in a hurry, but Wu Sidao was not in a hurry at all, there was no side, only knew that Hongqing entered the palace early in the morning, Wu Sidao had already grasped Hongqing's attitude towards this mutiny, although it is not yet known how it will achieve a compromise balance with Emperor Chengde, but there is one, Wu Sidao is clear, that is, Emperor Chengde will definitely not be willing to be suppressed, there will be no doubt that there will be waves again, and this is the opportunity that Wu Sidao has to wait, and now, the time is not yet ripe, Wu Sidao does not plan to rush to explain the strange, It's just a suggestion that doesn't matter.
"Hmmm......"
Seeing Wu Sidao didn't want to say, even if the fourth master was in a hurry, he had nothing to do, so he could only breathe out of the air sullenly, bury his head and continue pacing, and was extremely upset, but when he heard a rush of footsteps, the sweaty Hongli had already turned out from behind the screen, and when he saw it in such a hurry, the fourth master's brows immediately frowned, but he never scolded, just glared at Hongli fiercely with displeased eyes......
