Chapter 261: Teacher
None of the people here are stupid, although Li Hong did not say it explicitly, but they can all see the meaning behind this Royal Military Academy.
For a while, Dai Zhide was a little stunned, it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really going to play a big game this time.
You know, this so-called Royal Military Academy is not just a school, and nothing else, the students who graduated from this school, the dean is His Majesty the Emperor, and the teachers are all famous generals in the world, can they be allowed to have nothing to do after graduation?
Definitely not!
These people must all be arranged in the military!
But in this way, another important issue is involved, and the selection of military attachés is now controlled by the Ministry of War, and although the Ministry of War sounds like a department of the military, it is actually one of the six departments and is part of the civilian forces.
Once this royal military academy is established, it will inevitably encroach on the power of some of the military departments, and at the same time, the military will be the same in the future, the cohesion will be greatly strengthened, and the position in the court will become more and more important.
This is a great gift from Li Hong to Li Ji!
But since they can all see it, how could Dai Zhide not see it, the old man frowned, his lips squirmed for a moment, but he didn't speak.
Because he knows that for the current Li Hong, he really needs support from the military......
And after Li Ji listened, he was first overjoyed, and then his brows furrowed.
How could he not understand Li Hong's thoughts, this is to borrow the strength of the entire military to help him complete the reform of the military system in one fell swoop.
After all, this matter is too big, and I am afraid it will be difficult to complete it with Li Hong's strength alone.
In fact, if you want to carry out the reform of the military system, it is not only Li Hong who is not enough, even if Li Zhi comes in person, I am afraid that it will be extremely tricky.
Because there are so many aspects touched on here, and it involves the interests of all parties, it is really difficult to do.
That's why Li Ji was hesitant, but he really couldn't give up the temptation of the Royal Military Academy.
After all, the military is getting worse day by day, and even the logistics of the Western Expedition army need to be personally presented by an old man like him to be able to guarantee it!
Even if Pei Xingjian returned with a big victory this time, it would be difficult to recover the decline of the military.
However, Li Hong's method solves this problem from the root.
You know, theoretically speaking, the cadets who graduated from the Royal Military Academy are all students of the emperor, so how can the emperor not trust them?
However, the thought of the resistance he might encounter gave Li Ji a headache.
"Your Highness, this matter is very important, and it is difficult for the old minister to decide for a while, please forgive me!"
After a while, Li Ji smiled bitterly and said in a deep voice.
This matter is really too important, so important that Li Ji, who has always been decisive and resolute, is a little hesitant.
What's more, although the military is nominally under his command, it is also full of factions, and it is impossible for Li Ji to make a judgment on such a major matter, and he must discuss it with others before deciding.
"Hehe, the British Duke doesn't have to worry, the matter of the military system, no matter what, it must wait until the matter of Ashina Fu Nian is resolved, and it can only be put on the agenda, and a detailed note will be drawn up and sent to Li Shi's mansion in the near future, and the British Duke can think about it carefully and then reply!"
Li Hong raised his eyebrows and said softly.
Indeed, this matter has too much to do with it, so Li Hong doesn't expect Li Ji to give him an answer for a while, and today is just revealing the meaning to each other.
And the problem now is indeed Ashinafu, if the frontier can't be at peace, the reform of the military system will naturally be just empty talk!
Li Hong doesn't think that his sixth brother will stay in peace after failing once!
After sending away Li Ji and Pei Xingjian, who had a sad face, Li Hong returned to the front hall, only to find Dai Zhide waiting for him in place with a serious face.
"Master Dai?"
Li Hong smiled bitterly and spoke softly.
He knew that his teacher would not let go so easily, and if he didn't explain it clearly today, he might not be able to be at peace.
"Does Your Highness really want to meddle in the affairs of the army like this?"
Now in addition to the two of them in the main hall, there are only a few Li Hong's henchmen left, and Dai Zhide has a little less consideration between speaking, and he said straightforwardly.
In fact, from the very beginning, Dai Zhide has always opposed Li Hong's excessive involvement in the military, and even when Li Hong wanted to establish the East Palace, Dai Zhide was opposed.
You must know that in the center, Dai Zhide has seen far more than others, but because of this, he is more vigilant about this matter.
With so many years of experience, Dai Zhide knows that for the current emperor, the most untouchable thing is the red line of the army.
Even Empress Wu never intervened in military affairs.
On the other hand, Li Hong, after returning to Chang'an from the Eastern Capital, first set up the East Palace Six Rates, and then befriended the British Duke Li Ji and the general Pei Xingjian, whether he had the intention or not, his relationship with the military was not shallow.
In addition, at the last court meeting, Li Hong saved Pei Xingjian with a clear banner, which was even more suspicious.
I believe that Li Zhi can also see this, so he will warn Li Hong.
And this military matter is completely a military matter, if Li Hong comes forward, I am afraid that Li Zhi will be even more suspicious!
What's more, this move will bring considerable benefits to the military, there is no doubt that once the Royal Military Academy is established, the military will inevitably inherit Li Hong's favors, and the relationship between the East Palace and the military will really be incompatible.
If it was normal, it would be fine, but now there is still His Royal Highness King Yongwang watching from the sidelines, but Li Hong still insists on wanting to meddle in military affairs.
I really can't help but let Dai Zhide worry about him.
"Master Dai rest assured, the matter of military reform, Lone will be handed over to the British public to preside, and will not interfere too much, and Lone is still measured in military affairs."
Li Hong smiled slightly and said.
"......"
Dai Zhide was still frowning, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Li Hong.
"Lone knows what Master Dai is worried about, his father has always had a very strict control over military power, even if he is the queen mother, he has never interfered in military affairs, this is very clear in Lone's heart, but as Lone just said, it is indeed difficult for the government military system to adapt to the Tang Dynasty, if it continues for a long time, my Datang army will inevitably be exhausted.
Since Lone is in the East Palace, how can he not distinguish between his own gains and losses? ”
Li Hong's tone was not heavy, but with a touch of majesty, which made Dai Zhide stunned, but he smiled bitterly in his heart, this Royal Highness the Prince, after all, is no longer the student who obeyed him in everything when he was a child.
For a moment, his expression couldn't help but be a little gloomy, but there was a hint of relief in the gloom.
For the way of the king, how can you obey your subordinates in everything?
And Li Hong also sighed quietly in his heart, it wasn't that he wanted to hurt this teacher's heart, it was really not appropriate to talk to Old Man Dai about this matter, so he was also a little helpless in this way...... (To be continued.) )
