Wu Jue has a heart, and what he thinks in his heart is very selfish, so naturally he can't escape the mind-reading technique given to Liu Xing by the fairy lock. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But after hearing Wu Jue's heart, Liu Xing was not only angry, but faintly happy.

Why don't you get angry and rejoice? That's because Liu Xing firmly believes that as long as he, Wu Jue, has such thoughts, then he can only be firmly tied to his chariot from now on, and he will never want to break free at any time.

As long as Wu Jue, his family, and the forces behind him are tied to his chariot, then even if the surging undercurrent really turns into stormy waves in the future, he can easily resist the stormy waves and turn evil into good fortune with the help of a powerful helping group such as the Wu Jue family and those forces behind him.

It is not terrible for people to have ambition, but it is terrible to have no ambition at all. As long as Wu Jue's ambition has always been within his acceptability and control, Liu Xing is even more convinced that his ambition and selfish thoughts are the strongest magic weapon for him to control......

With such joy in his heart, Liu Xing turned his head sideways and cast his gaze on the big map on the wall.

When I saw the country that Yang Yi pointed out by the Chinese side, suddenly a well-known and admirable thing in later generations, benefiting the country and the people, and enriching the country's capital came to mind.

As soon as that deed surfaced, Liu Xing immediately lowered his head and thought carefully.

When he looked up again, Liu Xing looked at Wu Jue and said, "Brother Wu family, do you think the disarmament and preparation I mentioned before can be implemented immediately?" ”

Disarmament and rearmament, Wu Jue returned to Bianjing by airship from Anhui, and the first thing he did when he met Liu Xing was to throw such a strategy to him and ask him to help with the details.

According to the strategy that Liu Xing told him before, every province in the Great Song Dynasty now has three or four, or even six or seven standing military levels, to allocate royal troops.

There are as many as 129 royal troops of military rank in the 27 provinces, with a total number of more than 9 million people.

If we include the royal forces that are fighting in Tibet, the Western Regions, the grasslands, and the northern part of the country, the total strength of the royal forces today actually exceeds 11 million.

The total number of households in the Great Song Dynasty is estimated to be 12 million, and the total number of households does not exceed 50 million. Eleven million men are all in the army, which should be a happy thing.

However, in the long run and from the perspective of development, although such a huge military force can make the surrounding states daunted without a fight, it is also greatly consuming the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty.

As the days go on, if something happens one day in the future, the army will be strong and the army will be strong. Sooner or later, the Great Song Dynasty would be dragged down by such a huge armament, and once civil strife broke out, it would be even more difficult to contain......

In view of these considerations, Liu Xing's disarmament strategy is to eliminate a large part of the existing standing units of the Royal Army.

Under the six governors, each of the governors under the yamen system only retains two corps of the Royal Army and one association of the Royal Air Force, and in principle, the standing strength of no more than 150,000 is retained.

Similarly, the establishment of the six prefectures under the system of the six prefectures to be established in the future will also be strictly determined, and each of them will not exceed the standing establishment of three armies, that is, each of them will not have more than 200,000 troops.

The basic customization, including the Royal Air Force and the Royal Naval Division, Liu Xing planned to reduce the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty, which is now too large and too depleting to national strength, to no more than four million within a year, that is, to cut half of the standing army......

At that time, as soon as they met, Liu Xing threw out such a disarmament and rearmament strategy that had eliminated more than half of them, and Wu Jue did not dare to immediately give his thoughts and answers.

Now that he heard Liu Xing ask about this again, Wu Jue had no choice but to say what he thought: "More than half of the layoffs will be unstable, and it will definitely affect the people's hearts." Eleven Lang, you should know that most of the power of faith condensed in you today is actually because the people have children who are soldiers and every family has children who follow the army. If you cut off more than half of the soldiers according to your decision, I am afraid that the condensation of your faith will also be weakened by more than half! ”

Yang Yizhong also suddenly opened his mouth at this time, staring at Liu Xingdao intently: "Taifu, you are more than half of the disarmament?" Why is that? There are grasslands in the north that have not been pacified, and in the west, the war in the Western Regions is in full swing, as well as the war of the Three Kingdoms of Tianzhu and the battle of Annam, which is about to start at any time. If you add to that King Kang, who you are bound to pacify, there are still many places for our dynasty to use troops, why do you want to disarm at this time? ”

"Yes, now is not the time to put knives and guns in storage and horses to put Nanshan." As soon as Yang Yizhong finished speaking, Wu Jue immediately added a sentence.

"Who said that if I want to disarm, I want to put swords and guns into storage and horses in Nanshan?" Seeing that the two of them seemed to be opposing their disarmament and preparation strategies, Liu Xingyi pouted and said: "I just want the elite generals to stay in the army, and the miscellaneous soldiers to return to the countryside." If you want to make the country strong for a long time, it is not feasible to disarm, why can't you two understand it? ”

Hearing this, Wu Jue smiled lightly: "Of course I know that you are thinking about the long-term prosperity of the country, otherwise I would not have spoken like this, and I would have directly scolded you for being a traitor who unloaded the mill and killed the donkey!" ”

"What's wrong with unloading the mill and killing the donkey? Unloading the mill and killing the donkey is a traitor? ”

As soon as he heard Wu Jue's words, Liu Xing pouted even more disdainfully: "Could it be that every family is supporting the old donkeys and old horses to the end, so that every household will be a righteous man and a gentleman to support those old donkeys and old horses for three years, and then be poor for three years after being dragged by them?" If you think that stupid respect for the old and love for the young is right, then I think it is wrong, and you will think that I am a traitor! ”

What is going on in the head of the evil mad Liu Xing, don't talk about Wu Jue, I'm afraid that no one in the world today can know.

However, the words are not rough, and Liu Xing's remarks are indeed true. For the sake of filial piety, many good young people buried their youth on the way to realize their parents' expectations, and for the stupid respect for the old and love for the young, many kind-hearted people were deceived and became victims.

Whether this kind of thing is in the Great Song Dynasty or in the future after a long time, it is a human farce that is staged every day on the land of the Central Plains.

Wu Jue knew very well in his heart that what Liu Xing said was the truth, and he really told the truth, and he had no choice but to smile bitterly.

On the contrary, Yang Yizhong, who had just sat next to him, didn't really understand the meaning of Liu Xing's words, he looked at Liu Xing and said in amazement: "Could it be that Taifu, you are going to lay off most of the soldiers, and then abandon those people and ignore them completely?" ”

"Who told you I'm going to ignore those people?"

Hearing this, Liu Xing pursed his lips for the third time: "You! The brain will never be able to keep up with the Wu family's brother! I didn't say that I would ignore them, on the contrary, I would give them a longer meal to do. As long as they do a good job, those soldiers who have been laid off will not only live a prosperous life for themselves, but also for future generations. (To be continued.) )
