Chapter 178: The decision is finalized

(The starting point has finally taken action to crack down on piracy, congratulations!) In the middle of the night, ask for some subscriptions, even if it's a single chapter, a writer who doesn't want to be a god is not a good coder, and I'm just a keyboard warrior...... )

There was silence in the court, and no one raised any objections. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Seeing this, Yan Hua hurriedly added another fire, and said: "There are endless bandits in the world, and the people have a lot of complaints. Under the minister's reading, he was filled with grief and indignation, and he couldn't swallow it. In the past 100 years of my Great Shun Dynasty, the saints have been deeply benevolent and generous, and they have overflowed the Huan District. Fujian Road, Huainan Road, Liangzhejiang and Shandong Road bandits have been plagued for 16 or 7 years. The traitor is so arrogant, and the people and gods are angry. The city has rewards and no punishments, military discipline is not established, and the national law has been degraded. They will not be afraid of the law but the thief, and the soldiers will not be afraid of the law and will be afraid of war. Whenever the commander used the transfer of troops to benefit from the salary as a prevarication plan, the campers took the order to be serious for their own convenience, covering up the gaps, and delayed to this day, and the people are miserable. The minister was worried, but when he heard this, he was heartbroken. Thinking about this thief atmosphere, how dare you be silent? There are tens of thousands of brave soldiers in our box, but there are no less than 10 million, and they have not been able to damage the thief's hair, and they are still thieves like no one. How can such an army be of great use? The only way to do this is to order the forbidden army to replace the box army and go to suppress the bandits, or it may be able to make a contribution in one fell swoop! ”

Yan Hua's words directly hit the soft underbelly of the Dashun soldiers. If it weren't for Lu Chengqi's strict demand for strict training of the forbidden army, maybe even the forbidden army would be overwhelmed by now! In the official history, isn't this the case with the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty? The so-called "elite of the world" forbidden army in the Northern Song Dynasty claimed to be 800,000 people, but because it was mixed with too many old, weak, sick and disabled, coupled with the maladministration of redundant soldiers, the forbidden army had no combat effectiveness. Coupled with the decision-making mistakes of Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, they did not attack when it was time to attack, and the Jin people directly destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, and took away more than 3,000 emperors, concubines, and courtiers! Jing Kang shame, can't forget!

In addition to the perennial battles of the border army and the combat effectiveness of Dashun now, many forbidden troops are also recruits who have never seen blood. Not to mention, the Xiang army is equivalent to the militia of later generations, they are actually eating, and it is impossible to work. The first few times they were sent to suppress the bandits, before they got to the place where the bandits were suppressed, the thieves had already scattered as birds and beasts, and they ate a butt of ashes, and they couldn't even see the faces of the thieves. Several times like this, the thieves were not afraid of these soft-footed shrimps, and even dared to fight with the Xiang army, and every 100 people killed more than 1,000 people in the Xiang army and returned defeated. The frightened Xiang army, even if it received any orders to suppress bandits, resolutely did not fight. Even if he goes to war, he is guarding the big camp, where are the bandits who are here, obviously afraid that those thieves will be in their bones!

Lu Chengqi has long wanted to rectify these van troops, where is this army, even the peasant army that picks up a hoe to fight is not as good! It is no wonder that among all the Dashun armies, the Xiang army has the least salary, and there is basically no pension, which is equivalent to a miscellaneous army. There are no requirements for enlistment, you just need to be able to afford a weapon. If you are in the forbidden army, you are not five feet and an inch tall, don't want to enter the forbidden army. How tall is 5 feet 1 inch? It's probably about 1.6 meters in later generations, people in ancient times were not tall, and 1.6 meters was considered tall. In addition, there are also requirements for strength, and if you can't pull a stone bow, you resolutely don't. One stone bow is equivalent to ninety-two and a half catties, and it can be imagined that the forbidden soldiers are powerful.

But this is already a matter of Taizu Wenzong's time, and the current forbidden army, as long as it has a little relationship, can enter. After Lu Chengqi reformed the conscription conditions of the forbidden army, it was considered to have restored the strictness of the Wenzong period. At the same time, the old, weak, sick and disabled were eliminated, and the style of the entire forbidden army changed.

At the same time, Lu Chengqi abolished the 100-year-old forced conscription system and changed it to a conscription system. And made a provision that the only son in the family could not join the army. Because of the great increase in military salaries, many poor young people have been stimulated to join the army, and under the training of the new military training method, they can be regarded as gradually becoming a strong army.

However, the army in the world is too loose to gather and train. Lu Chengqi was already brewing the corps system, and it was not a method to spread the army in the east and west, not only was it easy to disturb the people, but it was too loose and could not form combat effectiveness.

Lu Chengqi thought a lot for a while, but unfortunately the civil and military officials should not accept it. Qian Zongfang, the right counselor, originally didn't want to step into this troubled water, but Yan Hua's bold suggestion made him tremble. As a counselor, he has the responsibility to remind Lu Chengqi how to govern, and immediately retorted: "Lord Yan said this, the minister does not dare to agree!" The forbidden army is the division that guards Gyeonggi, and if it is rashly transferred out of Jingzhao Mansion, I am afraid of disaster! Your Majesty, this is not feasible! The Xiang army is unbearable, and it is possible to recruit strong soldiers and prohibit the army from leaving Beijing, which is too risky and absolutely not feasible! ”

As soon as Yan Hua wanted to speak, Long Tu waited for Yu Rong to come out and said: "Lord Qian's words are wrong, if His Majesty hadn't asked more than 10,000 forbidden troops to reinforce Youzhou before, how would he have made immortal achievements?" The strength of the forbidden army is obvious to all. The erosion of the Xiang army is also a well-known thing. If only 20,000 forbidden troops were sent to suppress the bandits, the minister thought it was still feasible. And with the might of the forbidden army, the thief will flee from the wind. ”

Qian Zongfang was speechless, but Zuo Counsel Doctor Yun Feng said: "Although the forbidden army is an elite division, every time you use a sword soldier, how much does it cost millions?" The treasury has money left over today, and it is not used like this! ”

Yan Hua said righteously: "The thieves are harming the country and the people, if they are not eliminated as soon as possible, they will be very powerful, and if they want to be exterminated, the cost will probably be even greater!" There is a way to prevent the slightest, and do not hear the embankment of thousands of miles, and destroy it in the anthill? Although the thieves are not in the climate at the moment, if they become the climate, it is the people of Dashun who will suffer! Your Majesty, I implore Your Majesty to send troops to suppress bandits for the sake of the people of Dashun, and you can't let them sit big! ”

Yan Hua used a killer move, the left sentence is Dashun people, and there is a sentence of the people of the world, which directly occupies the name of righteousness. If anyone refutes again, Yan Hua will definitely be given a hat of ignoring the lives of the people. If Lu Chengqi investigates it, then he will have a sad life in the future.

Sure enough, no one dared to talk anymore. Lu Chengqi also seemed to be very touched, and asked slowly: "Zhu Qing thinks it is better to send someone to suppress the bandits?" ”

When the civil officials heard this, they "groaned" in their hearts, and secretly said that it was not good. These civil officials are extremely jealous of the military personnel, this jealousy is deep in the bone marrow, and they are extremely afraid that the military attaché will rob them of their position. At present, the position of civilian officials is generally higher than that of military attachés, and they can still be pressed by power. If the military attache climbs on their heads in the future, the officials are no bigger than them, and they can't beat others with their hands, it will be really sad. Even if these civil officials are dedicated to the country, they are not exempt from vulgarity at this moment.

If it weren't for Xu Chongguang's actual benefits, I'm afraid he wouldn't approve of sending troops to suppress bandits. Lu Chengqi naturally had some understanding of the crooked ways in the hearts of these officials, and reluctantly cut out some interests, so that he could be regarded as encircling Xu Chongguang and those officials under him.

The privy envoy Jiang Yu heard Lu Chengqi's question, and naturally wanted to promote Lu Chengqi's confidants, so he immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that General Wang Shaowang is suitable." ”

Wang Shao's prestige has now shocked the Khitan, and he can be regarded as a hot general in the Dashun Dynasty. Jiang Yu's recommendation of Wang Shao is naturally very suitable.

But Lu Chengqi didn't want Wang Shao to fight again, he was now studying at the Royal Military Academy, and his training ideas could not be unified with Lu Chengqi's, so naturally he couldn't easily use this famous general. (To be continued.) )
