Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

After clarifying the key points, you know what to do next, and it should be said that everything is smooth, but the next point of view put forward by Li Rupei shocked everyone, Li Rupei clearly demanded the separation of the military and the government, that is, the army and the local government are completely separated, belonging to two different systems, the army is not allowed to interfere in local government affairs, and local officials are not allowed to interfere in military affairs.

This caused an uproar, and almost everyone was against it.

The system of the Tang Dynasty is completely different from after a thousand years, starting from the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, after hundreds of years of changes, the military and government are basically integrated, taking the Jiedu as an example, the Jiedu makes the power very large, there is land, there are people, there are soldiers, there are taxes, in fact, it is the military and political brain of one side, the Jiedu makes the following civil and military positions, and the Jiedu enables the following officials to be directly appointed, the reason for the formation of this qiē, or the reason why the Jiedu makes it possible to have a lot of power, and even disobey the orders of the imperial court, forming a feudal town, It is the army that is relied upon.

Feeding the army requires silver and food, so the army is inseparable from the locality, and many things in the local area are basically controlled by the army, for example, local public security, basically the army is responsible, and the state and county where the county is stationed are directly responsible for the tooth army, and the rest of the states and counties, the tooth army is responsible, and individual local town soldiers are responsible. There is trouble everywhere, and the patrol house is helpless, not to mention that it is to arrest the bandits, and he can't even defeat the bandits.

Not only is the Jiedu envoy directly in charge of the army, but also in charge of the army in some places, and the assassin himself is the supreme person in charge of the army, in principle, the county order rarely controls the army, but if there are special circumstances, it is also possible to dispatch the foreign army or the soldiers from other towns in the station.

Li Rupei's mention of yì actually negates the system implemented by the imperial court, and it is normal for everyone to be difficult to understand for a while.

Although everyone was against it, Li Rupei's attitude was very resolute.

"There is nothing strange about the separation of military and political affairs, and you all oppose it, but you don't need to discuss this matter, you have already made up your mind, and it will definitely be implemented, and from now on, it will be implemented."

"All the expenses of the Predator Army shall be borne by the government, and in principle shall be paid from taxes, and the money, grain, and grass seized by the Predator Army shall be handed over to the government treasury after each battle, and shall be allocated according to the expenses actually needed, and it shall not be allowed to hide gold, silver, grain and grass without permission, and no matter what the circumstances, the Predators shall not be allowed to harass the people, nor be allowed to plunder, and shall violate military law."

"The officials of the state and county yamen are responsible for local security, and the patrol house must bear heavy responsibilities, unless there are bandits and other matters, the patrol and arrest room is within the scope of its ability, and the iron-blooded army is responsible for extermination, and the rest of the matters are all local responsibility."

"The most important matter is that the assassin and the county order and other officials are not allowed to transfer and take charge of the Iron Army, and the officers and sergeants of the Iron Blood Army are not allowed to interfere in local government affairs.

At this point, the meaning of Li Rupei's words is already very clear.

In fact, this is the need for centralization.

In the future, with the growth of the Iron Army, with the expansion of the territory, if the assassin and even the county order can be in charge of the army, there will be a feudal town within the Iron Army, and there will be a secession regime, and slowly the feudal town will expand and expand, and at a certain time it will begin to cause chaos, endangering the stability of the regime, and even directly overthrowing the imperial court and establishing a new regime, thousands of years of history have proved this truth.

The army and the localities are separated, each is a different system, only the top leader can directly control the army, the officers in the army, absolutely not to serve as officials at the local level, such a management model, is conducive to the stability of the government, from the perspective of historical exhibition, such a model is also affirmed, the effect is very good.

However, the separation of military and political is also a very dangerous attempt, after the Qin Dynasty unified the Central Plains, it adopted the mode of military and political separation, and the power of the imperial court was greatly consolidated, but the local management was weakened, which was an important reason for the fall of the Qin Dynasty in just a few decades. The reason for this is that when the Qin Dynasty implemented the separation of military and government, it overcorrected and there were too many drawbacks.

Li Rupei has a purpose in doing things, from the beginning, it is necessary to clarify a lot of rules, he can think of a way to strengthen the local patrol and capture house force, so that the local will not be too weak, as for the determination of the rules, it is the most important, the rules are determined, everyone abides by them, and forms a habit, so that it will be much easier to do in the future.

As for the mode of separating the military from the government, he is fully confident that he can control it, and with his thousand-year-old understanding, it is not too difficult to do this well.

Everyone was lost in thought, trying to figure out what it meant.

The separation of military and political is quite controversial, the separation of military and political in the Qin Dynasty once led to the fall of the zhì regime, so this model was abandoned, from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the military and the government are basically blended together, I can't imagine that Li Lang suddenly proposed the separation of military and political affairs, everyone must think seriously, they have felt that every decision made by Li Lang is by no means temporary and hasty, it is all deliberate, and it is related to every step in the future.

It was Qian Shiqu who spoke first.

After all, Qian Shiqu has been a staff member, his thinking is not so orthodox, the focus of doing things is to achieve the goal as the core, and he doesn't completely care about what means to take, compared with Yu Chenghui and Tan Mingxiao, who hold orthodox concepts, his conspiracy must be more.

When Li Lang proposed the separation of the military and the government, Qian Shiqu thought about it seriously, he thought about it from a negative perspective, why Li Lang made such a decision, and soon he thought of the lesson of the rebellion in the feudal town, such a lesson abounds everywhere in the Tang Dynasty. After further thinking, Qian Shiqu suddenly understood that Li Lang was building a future regime, and at the same time determined the rules for this regime, such as saying that the people take food as the sky, such as separating the military from the government, such as saying that the army is absolutely not allowed to harass and plunder the people, and so on. Li Lang's ideas were completely different from those feudal towns, and such premeditated and planned thinking and decisions showed great ambition and brilliant wisdom. This kind of foresight is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

After thoroughly understanding this, Qian Shiqu was really glad for himself, although he didn't know Li Lang's true identity, Yu Chenghui and Tan Mingxiao were willing to obey Li Lang, proving that Li Lang's identity was by no means simple.

Qian Shiqu was very happy, since the beginning of the expedition of the Iron and Blood Army, he followed Li Lang's side, that is the real elder, and the future in the future is not ordinary.

"I think the separation of military and political affairs is necessary."

After Qian Shiqu said this, he attracted more attention, everyone looked at Qian Shiqu, their eyes were different, they all wanted to hear the reason, if Qian Shiqu said this in order to praise and please Li Lang, it would be a matter of character.

"A certain has been in Liangzhou for a long time, during which he has also been to other states and counties, the Ya Army, the Yawai Army and the Waizhen soldiers of Shannan West Road, a certain is barely familiar, and a certain has the deepest feeling, the combat effectiveness of the Ya Army is the strongest, the Tooth Outside Army is the second, and the Waizhen Soldiers are the worst, there are many reasons for this, most of them think that because the Tooth Army is an army directly controlled by the Jiedu Envoy, the garrison is different, and the food and salary are sufficient, so the combat effectiveness is different."

"But there are some different opinions, to say that the treatment of the Yawai army and the foreign town soldiers, it is true that it cannot be compared with the Ya army, but they are stationed in the locality, and many things they have done are not flattering, and it is common to exploit the people, and the local officials do not dare to say much at all, and sometimes they even directly rob and kill the good and take the merits, which abound, and this kind of income is calculated, the actual military salary of the Yawai army and the foreign town soldiers is not very low."

"However, the combat effectiveness of the Yawai army and the foreign town soldiers is still not able to be improved, and their plundering behavior has harassed the local area and made the common people unpeaceful.

"To solve these problems, it is good to adopt the method of separating the military from the government, the government guarantees the expenses of the army, and the army is not allowed to meddle in and interfere in local affairs, so that the two sides can be at peace and the people can be safe."

"The second is conducive to local governance, a certain has always believed that governing a good place requires extraordinary ability, Li Lang put forward a clear request, the requirements for the state and county governments are very strict, which also leads to the history of the assassination, the county order needs to spend more energy to govern the place, if the county order of the assassination is still distracted to manage the army, the pressure is too great, I am afraid it will affect the governance."

"The last reason is that the main responsibility of the army is to fight and fight, and the focus is different, which is different from governing the locality.

"Combined with these reasons, a certain believes that the separation of military and political is completely necessary, but it is necessary to set clear rules."

Qian Shiqu's analysis made everyone suddenly enlightened, in fact, the separation of military and political affairs, centralization is the most important reason, but no one will say this directly, Li Lang insisted on the separation of military and political affairs, his attitude was very resolute, and it seemed that the consideration was very clear.

The next thing is to discuss how to improve the separation of military and political affairs.

Li Rupei is satisfied, in fact, this is the embodiment of his majesty, discussing the establishment of relevant systems, it is very important, to do anything, first clear and perfect the rules, in the future, will follow a benign road, whether the political power can be stable, whether the army can be strong, and the definition and improvement of the rules has a decisive relationship.
