"Your Majesty, the minister has something to start." Li Junxian announced at the imperial court.

"Speak!" Li Shimin said.

Li Junxian immediately said: "Your Majesty, the ministers ask the emperor for approval to set up a military academy in the Tang Dynasty." ”

Li Shimin asked knowingly; "What is a military school?"

Li Junxian replied: "The military academy is a place responsible for teaching Tang officers and soldiers various military techniques, as well as training various combat command abilities. He is similar to the Guozijian of the Tang Dynasty and various schools, except that the military academy is responsible for teaching sergeants, not for the purpose of teaching scriptures. ”

Li Junxian's statement once again made everyone talk about it, because this is a big problem. If in the past, the imperial court commanded wars and relied on the Guanlong Wufu Group, then now Li Shimin's method can be said to be to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle! As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how could Li Shimin not see that although the Guanlong Wufu Group contributed a lot when it fought the world, it later mastered a large amount of military power?

As an emperor, Li Shimin certainly would not be assured of the huge influence of such a group in the army. Li Shimin urgently needed to build a group of officers who were loyal to him, so that he could maintain the rule of his Li family. In fact, the army is the lifeblood of the country, so the struggle for military power has always been one of the important games of the feudal dynasty.

And those generals, especially Li Jing, who was born in the Guanlong Wufu Group, and Hou Junji, obviously frowned. None of them are fools, and of course they know the significance of this military school. That is, their grassroots influence is gradually extracted and replaced by new personnel. But they wanted to object, but Li Shimin glared back.

Now Li Shimin is the founding emperor of the country, and his authority is very heavy. Moreover, Li Shimin's Li family is one of the leaders of the traditional Guanlong Wufu Group, and its status is much stronger than Li Jing and Hou Junji, the "younger generations" of the Guanlong Wufu Group. Therefore, Li Jing and Hou Junji didn't dare to do anything unusual for a while.

Strictly speaking, Li Shimin's Li family is the most powerful faction of the Guanlong Wufu group, and it can even overwhelm many factions, so they can be emperors. Now Li Shimin wants to gradually clean up the Guanlong Wufu group, this is a normal idea. If even the royal family can't completely control the power of the army. Then I'm afraid what other guarantees does the state have?

"Your Majesty, the ministers thought that all the people present were famous generals of the imperial court, and their family history was very deep. The minister proposed that those with titles could be allowed to send their children to study in the military academy, and then continue to serve the emperor. Li Junxian said.

After hearing this, those people from the Guanlong Wufu Group immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Li Shimin is beating a stick and giving a sweet date! Although we will gradually take away everyone's military power, why do we have military power now? The war system of the Tang Dynasty was like this, usually those high-ranking generals were relatively idle, and the so-called Wei generals were not responsible for specific affairs, and they were all high-status pensioners. Soldiers were concentrated only in wartime. Temporary generals were sent to command. Therefore, in fact, the generals present have no military power. They only relied on their influence in the army to control the army, but this also made the emperor feel uneasy.

Now let them give up their influence in exchange for the opportunity for their descendants to enter the army, and that will still be earned. As long as his descendants can enter the military academy, to a certain extent, he has entered the emperor's system. Although it is not possible to influence the military as it used to, it can get a better future. When the time comes, they can use the influence of their fathers to make them rise in the army faster.

Li Shimin is actually looking at the future of the younger generations, in exchange for the consent of these generals to establish this military academy. And as long as this military school is successfully established. Then the relationship between the descendants of the Guanlong Group and Li Shimin's Li family has completely changed. Originally, to a certain extent, the officers of the Guanlong Group and Li Shimin's Li family were only in a cooperative relationship, but once this military academy was established, the Guanlong Wufu Group and Li Shimin's Li family became dependent, and the Guanlong Wufu Group could only rely on Li Shimin. Li Shimin to judge their future.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's okay!" Li Jing said first.

And Li Jing's apprentice Hou Junji also immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal!" ”

"Minister, second!" Li Ji also said.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" "The minister seconded" "The minister seconded! ”……

The generals agreed. Because they know that if they don't agree, I'm afraid that it won't be long before they have to add an axe, which is not fun. Li Shimin made it clear that he wanted to collect military power. If they dare to disagree, it will be a dead end. This battle for military power is all bloody, and there is no warmth to talk about. If you are obedient, you can also give your descendants a future at that time, but if you are not obedient, then you are afraid that you will be a burden to your family and relatives.

"Well, in that case, that's the end of the military academy issue. The military academy is to be established, and this military academy is called the Tang Royal Military Academy. Jun Xian, this military school will be handed over to you to be responsible. I hope you can educate a group of elite officers for me, and then serve me allegially, fight bravely for my Tang Dynasty, and expand the territory. Li Shimin said.

Li Junxian hurriedly assured, saying: "Your Majesty, the ministers must live up to the emperor's trust, and they must lead the military academy well, so that the military academy will become the cradle of my Tang general." In addition, the minister proposed that in the future, before officers are promoted to a certain rank, they should come to the military academy for further study to assess whether they are competent for their duties, and then conduct ideological education. Educate them to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty and the idea of being loyal to the country. ”

Li Junxian's meaning is obvious, that is, to brainwash those officers so that they can effectively be loyal to the country. And Li Shimin also agreed, because Li Shimin's Li family and the country are integrated, and it is not an era of division of the family and the country, but an era of unity of the family and the country. Therefore, being loyal to the country is finally Li Shimin's Li family.

"Your Majesty, the minister hopes that the emperor will personally serve as the principal of the school, so that the students can bathe in the emperor's grace." Li Junxian said.

When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately realized that this was an important issue. If outsiders are allowed to hold the position of this military academy for a long time, I am afraid that even if Li Shimin is generous, he will be suspicious. And the emperor himself concurrently serves as the principal of the military academy, so that the students of the military academy can become the emperor's protégé, and the students of the military academy are not more loyal?

"Jun Xian's proposal is very good, and I agreed. I am the principal of the Tang Royal Military Academy, and you are the one who serves as the sacrificial wine. Li Shimin said. (To be continued......)
