He didn't expect this before, but now Datang is so rich, a big reason is because the government military system has saved Datang a lot of military spending.

Ordinary local armies, in the military government, because they are farmers in their spare time, so although they consume military spending, they are relatively small, and the military department is responsible for the food and salary of the forbidden army in Beijing, and if the reform of the military system can really be completed.

Then the household department's clamping power on the military will be greatly strengthened, and in this way, even if the power of the military department is slightly lost, it will not have much impact on the power of the civil ministers.

"Well, this is the old minister's negligence!"

Dai Zhide nodded, and his tone softened.

But Li Hong did not stop talking and continued.

"That's not all! The Royal Military Academy, although the father serves as the president, but in the final analysis, it is not an institution in the imperial court, and the generals born here have no official positions, and the power to confer officials is still in the hands of the military department. ”

Hearing this, Dai Zhide looked a little hesitant, paused, and spoke.

"Your Highness, having said that, the generals from the Royal Military Academy, after all, are protégés of the Son of Heaven, even if the right to confer officials is still in the military department, they will inevitably be subject to many constraints!"

Dai Zhide has been in the court for so many years, so he naturally knows that no matter where he is, he has to look at people's feelings, and people with backgrounds will be treated preferentially.

Just imagine, even if the emperor didn't say it explicitly, as a student of the emperor, he was a hard currency in itself, and what official would dare not give them an official title?

But what he didn't expect was that Li Hong suddenly asked with a straight face.

"Master Dai doesn't think that today's military department awards officers are really awarded based on merit?"

This sentence suddenly made Dai Zhide stunned in place.

Li Hong continued.

"As I have said before, for various reasons, the military generals of our dynasty have suffered, and most of them are concentrated in the family of military generals, so the result is that even if the military department is awarded officers, it is also awarded among the descendants of these military generals, so it makes no difference whether they graduate from the Royal Military Academy or not.

Because even if the Royal Military Academy is really opened, most of the first batch of cadets are these children with foundation! ”

Dai Zhide was silent for a moment, and had to admit that Li Hong was right.

Although the right to confer official positions in the military department is in the military department, in fact, the vast majority of candidates are the children of the generals' families......

But after a while, Dai Zhide's eyes lit up, and he vaguely understood something in his heart, and asked.

"What does Your Highness mean by the first batch?"

"Hehe, after all, there are only so many children in the general's family, so Lone plans to gradually select outstanding young adults from various states and counties, enter the Royal Military Academy after the test, and cultivate them together!"

Li Hong smiled indifferently.

This teacher is really a smart person, and he only showed a little bit of his tone before he noticed it.

As a matter of fact, to tell the truth, the establishment of the Royal Military Academy is beneficial to the development of the entire military, which will not only be able to adapt to the new military system, but will also inject a steady stream of fresh blood into the military, which will be of considerable benefit to the long-term development of the military's forces.

But on the contrary, it will have a serious impact on the power of the old military family, because once the Royal Military Academy is established, it means that the situation of the military general's family controlling the military will no longer exist, and on this basis, poor and excellent children will continue to emerge and encroach on the power that originally belonged to the family.

Even if these poor-born generals become new families in the future, if there are no outstanding characters, they will be quickly replaced by rising figures.

From this point of view, it is another heavy blow to the military forces!

So Li Hong's idea is actually a poisonous pie, which seems to be majestic with the name "Protégé of the Son of Heaven", but it is a piece of stuffing that is not very delicious.

This is also the reason why Li Hong did not elaborate on this matter just now, if he had said his plan at that time, Li Ji, the old fox, would definitely not agree to himself.

That is, only Li Hong and Dai Zhide are there at this moment, and Li Hong dares to say his plan without any scruples.

"Your Highness is wise!"

A smile appeared on Dai Zhide's face and he spoke.

He really didn't expect that Li Hong's mind would be so meticulous and think of so many joints in advance.

After all, no matter what, the power of the military department is still in the hands, and in the future, the conferral of officials is no longer limited to the children of the military generals, and its power has been enhanced.

After a pause, Dai Zhide spoke.

"But Your Highness still has to be careful, once these generals come from the same school, they may be connected in tandem, if they control the army, then things will be in trouble!"

Although it sounds a bit serious, in fact, Dai Zhide's tone is very relaxed.

Because although there is such a possibility, but the probability is too small, not to mention that the poor generals and the generals of the family are inherently opposites, even if there is no Royal Military Academy, today's military is still controlled by the family, and His Majesty the Emperor deliberately made the entire military self-contained, and the water was impenetrable.

Unexpectedly, Li Hong's eyes flashed and continued.

"Master Dai don't worry, Lone has also thought about this, so in the Royal Military Academy, the first thing to teach is loyalty and patriotism, and I'm afraid that Master Dai doesn't know, in Lone's imagination, most of the students can graduate after completing the basic courses and go to command ordinary armies in various places.

And this kind of general, the course is the same, and the method of training the army is naturally the same, so that even if the main general is replaced, it will not affect the original army! ”

This time, Dai Zhide really admired Li Hong.

It is true that in order to prevent the army from becoming the personal soldiers of some generals, almost every general who commands an army for a period of time will be transferred elsewhere.

However, in this way, the training methods and habits of each general are different, which will have a great impact on the combat effectiveness of the army.

If Li Hong's approach is adopted, this impact can indeed be minimized.

Since the courses studied are the same, the training methods must be the same, and after the reform of the military system, the local ordinary army does not need too good generals to command.

"As for the extremely outstanding generals, they can continue their studies and participate in various military exercises, so as to be ready to command the elite army and forbidden army of my Datang in the future, so that my Datang's combat power will not fall!"

After a pause, Li Hong continued to finish his thoughts.

Dai Zhide was amazed, but the old man was still a little worried, just looked at Li Hong's confident appearance, but he didn't say it.

Because in this way, it will indeed greatly improve the combat power of the Tang Dynasty, but at the same time, the pressure on Li Hong to implement it will also be great, on the one hand, Wenchen will not allow the reform of the military system to improve the military strength, but Li Hong cannot tell the real situation.

Even as long as Li Hong reveals his true meaning a little, he will be noticed by the military, and without the implementation of the military at that time, the reform of the military system will be really difficult to do!

But having said that, Dai Zhide did not continue, because he believed that since Li Hong had already laid out such a careful plan, he must have thought of the pressure he might face...... (To be continued.) )
