Batu's words were too wide-ranging, and it can be said that they offended the officials of the entire civil service system, like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the ministers immediately attacked him in groups, and one after another came out to say that Batu's "is not".

Later, Zhong Hui also came out and said: "General Batu's words are inappropriate, although it is very dangerous for you generals to fight abroad, and you are indispensable for guarding the territory and expanding the territory, but our colleagues who are engaged in civilian work are not easy, without us people, what will the empire look like?" We have to take care of you soldiers, but also take care of the people's eating, drinking, and Lazar, don't think that we are easy, if we have your ability, we will also directly lead the troops to fight, if you have our ability, you don't have to go to war, but help the emperor to rule the world! ”

Qin Dong saw that this court meeting was about to become a battle between civil officials and military attachés, and immediately stopped it: "Enough, now is not the time for you to fight here for the role of civil officials and military attachés, a country, whether it is a civilian official or a military general, is very important, and it is impossible to lose either party, this topic will end here, it is forbidden for anyone to argue about this topic in the future, if you violate it, you will be severely punished all the way!" Let's move on to the barbarian invasion! ”

Seeing that Qin Dong had affirmed that civil officials and military generals were on an equal footing, and forbade them to talk about this pointless argument in the future, the ministers stopped talking and shifted the discussion to the matter of the barbarian invasion.

Then the ministers divided into several factions, each of which expounded his own views, and the group represented by Pethius, the prime minister, believed that the country was created in a hastily manner, and everything was abandoned and left to be done. The entire empire is on the road of rapid development, and the main energy should be focused on development, and it is not appropriate to use troops in a short period of time.

A group of officials, represented by Felton, the chief deputy prime minister, were the main battle faction. They thought that they should take this opportunity to teach those barbarians in the west a hard lesson, so that they could understand that although the Hu Empire had changed its name, it had not changed in essence, and it was already very good not to bully others, and they would never allow others to bully them.

A group of officials represented by Zhong Hui, the imperial historian of the left capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, believed that the harassment of the barbarians in the west could not be turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear, and that the imperial court must respond as quickly as possible, but it was not appropriate to use force on a large scale. Even if it is necessary to use force, it can only be carried out on a small scale and on a local scale, because large-scale use of force requires huge military expenditures, and if it is used on a small scale. Military spending will be much smaller, and the imperial court can fully afford it, and it will not affect the development and construction of the country. At the same time, Zhong Hui also believes that the border garrison should be delegated. Generals who are allowed to garrison the border can make decisions on the fly. Mobilize troops to deal with the invasion of enemy troops, and also allow border garrisons to freely leave the country to fight in hostile countries without consulting the imperial court, as long as they send a report to the imperial court afterwards.

Qin Dong disagrees with the views of Prime Minister Peteaus's faction, everyone has been slapped in the face, if they still endure it, they will definitely gain an inch, the key is that this is a great damage to the dignity of the country. Whether you win or not is one thing, and whether you dare to fight is another. Even if you can't win. As long as you dare to fight, it means that this country is still dignified, it is still bloody, and everyone has bullied their families, if they don't declare war, then what dignity can they talk about? Sometimes a person can be without dignity, but a country cannot be without dignity, otherwise there is no hope for the country.

Qin Dong also disagrees with the views of the faction of the Chief Deputy Prime Minister Felton, according to their opinions, it should be a big fight, if it can directly destroy those barbarians, it is the best, but Qin Dong knows that if it is really according to their point of view, it will be necessary to carry out a large-scale war, after all, the Germanic people have a lot of power in Western Europe, although they are divided into many scattered tribes and scattered all over the place, but once they unite, their military strength is definitely very strong, and the wider this war is involved, the longer the time will drag, This is definitely more than worth the loss for the Hu Empire, which has just been established not long ago.

Each of these three factions has its own point of view and its own reasons, and the reasons are so good that others cannot find a good breakthrough even if they want to refute them.

Qin Dong agrees with the view of Zhong Hui's faction, we must respond as quickly as possible, and we can't let those barbarians continue to loot on the border, and if we don't react, the majesty of the empire will be lost, but it is not suitable to use force on a large scale, and we can't draw too many troops to fight in a short period of time, so we can only conduct small-scale operations, and the area where we choose to fight must be the area where the barbarians make the most trouble, and strive to wipe out those barbarians as quickly as possible or drive them to the south, and if you want to fight, you must fight harder, It is necessary to be more ruthless than the Huns before, and to make those Germanic barbarians frightened.

This court meeting lasted from morning to afternoon, and the views of the ministers were all spoken, and many centrist officials gave a lot of good suggestions, but no matter what Cheng dù was discussed, the final decision still had to be made by Qin Dong.

"Things have come to this point, if we don't fight, it won't work, if we don't fight, it means that we will endure, it means that we are cowardly, and those barbarians will become even more fierce in the future, so this battle must be fought. However, we must control the scale of this battle, not involve all the barbarians in the west, and choose the two Germanic barbarians who are the most ferocious, and beat their arrogance down, so as to play the role of killing chickens and monkeys! ”

At this point in Qin Dong's words, the ministers just knew what Qin Dong's decision was, and the views of Zhong Hui's faction were supported by the emperor.

Qin Dong then said: "Now the most ferocious people are the Franks and Burgundians, so the targets we choose to fight are the Franks and Burgundians, as for the other Germanic barbarians, we will ignore them for the time being, but we can't let them continue to make trouble, and the border garrison should strengthen patrols." Spread my will, allow the generals of the border garrison to send combat units at the regimental level to fight in enemy areas, and allow the generals of the border garrison to arbitrarily transfer combat units at the battalion level to quell rebellions and attacks in their own garrison areas and defend against the invasion of barbarian armies, but the transfer of all combat units involving the border garrison must be approved by me personally! ”

In the past, the border garrison was not allowed to cross the border line and enter other countries to fight without the permission of the imperial court, nor was it allowed to transfer combat units above the battalion level without the order of the imperial court.

After this barbarian invasion, Qin Dong also saw that the restrictions on the troops stationed in the local area were too great in terms of military regulations and regulations, and the restrictions on the leading generals were too great, which was not conducive to the flexible command of the army generals. Therefore, the generals of the border garrisons will be allowed to freely send combat units at and below the regimental level to fight outside the country from now on, but this object must be a hostile country, not a friendly country, and the generals of the garrisons will also be allowed to mobilize battalion-level combat units at will to help quell the rebellion and attack and defend the enemy army in the Zhazha area.

From then on, no matter whether there is a war or not, as long as the opposite side of the border line is a hostile country, the general of the border garrison can send a regiment-level unit of combat units out of the country to fight, whether it is to fight in the grass valley or plunder, in short, you can go out of the country to fight, no need to ask the imperial court again, as long as the ground reports the battle situation to the imperial court, even if the spoils of war are handed over, but for any general who gives the order to go out of the battle must be responsible for the victory or defeat of the war, and the victory is rewarded by the imperial courtIn addition, please also stipulate that the adjutant general in charge of the political and ideological aspects of the border garrison has half of the right to speak on the issue of going out to fight, so as to check and balance the military commander, so as not to act arbitrarily or disregard the lives of the soldiers for personal gain, this provision makes the military commander must think clearly before he wants to send the army out of the country to fight, and only with full certainty can he do so, otherwise the adjutant general will not agree, and he will be held responsible if the battle fails.

This provision is equivalent to the same as the previous Huns, and the border garrison can go south to fight the grass valley at any time, which is of great benefit to restore the prestige of the imperial army of the Hu people.

In the end, Qin Dong said again: "Since Sambus returned to the imperial court, I haven't gone to his territory to take a look, take this opportunity, I want to go and have a look, and by the way, I will clean up those barbarians ........"

Before Qin Dong's words were finished, Prime Minister Peteus hurriedly went out of class and said: "Your Majesty is not allowed, Your Majesty is the supreme of a country, how can you leave the capital and go to the frontier lightly?" If a major event happens in the imperial court, His Majesty will not be in the capital, and the ministers are really worried that they will not be able to deal with it! ”

"Yes, yes, for the sake of safety, your majesty should not leave Saidika!" The ministers came out one after another to dissuade Qin Dong.

"That's it!" Qin Dong loudly stopped the ministers from gossiping, "I am only twenty-four years old this year, and I am not old enough to get on a war horse, and I am not yet afraid of being killed by others!" During my foreign wars, the general state affairs were handled by the Prime Minister Lord Peteaus, and the court meeting every five days was also presided over by the Prime Minister Lord Peteaus, and the recitals written by the ministers were sent to my palace once every five days to be sent 800 li urgently, and the Imperial Shi Zhonghui of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate supervised the country, and the Military Aircraft Institute and the Ministry of War wanted to ensure that the military logistics were sent to the combat area, so it was decided, and the court retreated! ”

Before the ministers could react, Qin Dong had already left His Majesty Dan and walked out of the small door in the northeast corner of the palace. (To be continued......)
