"The generals are really idle......" Holding the report of the embroidered guard, Liu Che chuckled lightly, and shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

From Zhidu to Yizong, they are all impatient to start a war and obtain martial arts.

This reveals the current mentality of the Han family.

This terrible war machine can't be stopped.

Even Liu Che felt the hand holding the reins a little painful.

There is no way, it is not a certain person or a few people who are instigating and agitating, or even one or two interest groups are doing something.

This is the appeal of the entire army.

To be precise, the voice of the entire ruling group.

If you think about it, you can understand why.

Since the fourth year of Yuande, with the continuous military victories, Liu Che, the emperor, has gradually monopolized the power and gained the authority of his father and ancestor who is almost comparable to that of Emperor Gao.

But instead of enjoying himself or indulging in beauty, he wielded a butcher's knife and turned it on the nobles and bureaucrats.

This knife cut down, and the princes, nobles, bureaucrats, and even princes and kings were all covered in bruises.

The princes and kings of GG Smecta alone are already as many as five.

As for the princes and bureaucrats who died in various accidents and cases, there are countless people.

In the case of Chang'an, in today's Chang'an officialdom, more than half of the old bureaucrats have disappeared.

What's even more terrifying is that even the founding princes, Emperor Hui and Wenjing have also suffered heavy blows.

From the first year of Yuande to the present, in less than eight years, Liu Che killed hundreds of liehou families, and countless famous ministers were beaten into dust, and the old ministers turned into today's commoners.

Although all this seems to be calm, it can even be said to be calm.

But beneath the surface, there is a surge.

The demise of the old bureaucracy and the old aristocracy led to the rise of the new military aristocracy and the new bureaucracy.

The new aristocrats and new bureaucrats, who are desperately following Liu Che, the king, and sweeping those old aristocrats and old bureaucrats into the garbage heap of history, are they just loyal to the monarch and patriotic?

There may be such people, but there are definitely not many.

What's more, Liu Che did not allow the bureaucrats to be corrupt and bend the law, let alone the princes to bully men and women, and prey on the common people.

Whoever commits it dies.

Under such circumstances, the generals, liehous, and bureaucrats still followed Liu Che with all their hearts.

Isn't it because Liu Che painted a big cake for them?

Isn't it for the sake of gaining meritorious service on the battlefield, sealing his wife and children, and glorifying his ancestors?

Isn't it to lead your clan, relatives, friends, and subordinates to the pinnacle of life?

It's an irreversible process!

Even though Liu Che knew that the country needed to recuperate and accumulate strength, even though the generals understood that the treasury could not come up with money to support the war, the people were already exhausted and could no longer support them to victory as they had done in the past.

However, the generals below, the middle and lower-level officers, don't care about this.

They only know that without war, there will be no martial arts, and without martial honors, there will be no promotion.

In particular, the group of middle- and lower-ranking officers who enlisted in the army between the first and fourth years of Yuande were as eager for war as the arid land longed for the moisture of rain and dew.

Under such circumstances, the generals and princes were involuntarily dominated by the people below, and even Liu Che, the emperor, had to consider the demands and voices of these people.

To use a simple analogy.

Today's Han Empire is a listed company.

As the chairman of the board, although Liu Che holds a controlling stake, the voices of the majority of small and medium-sized shareholders cannot but be considered.

In particular, when these small and medium-sized shareholders are still the specific executors and managers of the key departments of Dahan Group, even the chairman of the board of directors must carefully and carefully consider their requirements in front of these people.

Even if these people's demands are a bit excessive.

Because you have to prevent them from picking on or even jumping to the side of a competitor!

That's the way it is now.

The middle and lower levels pushed the high-level generals and princes to issue a motion for war, and the generals and princes, in order to appease them, could only take a bone out and comfort them first.

What else can they do?

A leader who cannot bring benefits to those below is unlikely to be supported by those below.

What's more, they themselves are also eager to move.

Moreover, their motion is actually not excessive, and it can even be said to be reasonable.

Recruits really need a battlefield of medium and low intensity to sharpen and temper.

It's just that......

"Once the war starts, its scale cannot be controlled......" Liu Che sighed in his heart.

He knew all too well the twists and turns.

Zhidu, the Flying Fox Army, and the Juzhu Army were engaged in actual combat drills in the south of the Munan, and this matter could still be controlled.

But Yizong wants to open up a new battlefield in Juyanze, but it is something that he can't control.

Because, the general will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected.

Liu Che doesn't think that once the generals take Ju Yanze, they will still be able to suppress their inner desire for Qilian Mountain?

I'm afraid that when the time comes, a certain general will rush to Qilian Mountain with his army roaring.

Then, the other units will immediately follow under the banner of 'rescue' and 'support'.

At that time, what will the court do? What should Liu Che do?

Pinching your nose to recognize it? Then the power of the monarchy and the control of the state over the army will be gone.

From then on, the military will unscrupulously override the state, kidnap the country in various ways, and go it alone.

Perhaps, there will be military groups with big tails.

It would be even more difficult to veto or even impose sanctions outright.

The generals of the army are sincere, for the country and the society, charging into battle, looking back, your emperor and the country are beaten down with a stick, and the heroes instantly become criminal ministers, not afraid of chilling the hearts of the soldiers and the people of the world?

Liu Che was about to become Zhao Gaozong immediately, and the courtiers automatically matched Qin Yu's role.

Rubbing his temples, Liu Che sat on the throne in distress, thinking about how to deal with this matter.

Undoubtedly, this is a tricky question.

Whether he agrees or not, for Liu Che, there is a great risk.

There is no doubt that this is the most difficult problem that Liu Che has encountered since he took the throne.

One mishandled can lead to great upheaval.

This is also a problem that will inevitably be faced under the current Han system.

The power of the army is not controlled by the expansion, but the state is constantly tightening the restrictions on the aristocracy and bureaucracy, which is not allowed, and that is not allowed.

That would only lead the entire ruling group to the path of constant expansion and conquest.

Otherwise, you will not allow them to bully men and women, prey on the common people, nor allow them to break the law and discipline, bend the law for bribes, or even allow them to eat and wait for death, and now you will deprive them of even the joy of war.

Then they will be helpless.

When the time comes, they'll just let you die.

This was the current state of the Han Empire.

The militaristic system, which has developed to its peak, automatically pushes the country into war.

The will of the individual cannot be reversed at all.

Unless, Liu Che supported Confucianism, and was the worst Confucian landlord bureaucracy, suppressed the military generals, and turned them into corrupt and incompetent generals like Song Ming.

Otherwise, the problem is unsolvable.

"I thought that I could cultivate for a few years......" Liu Che sighed in his heart.

His original plan was to recuperate for three years, rebuild his strength, and at the same time settle down, make every effort to solve internal affairs, and digest the fruits of victory.

According to his original plan, three years later, the Han family, which had consumed the dividends of the war, would leap to a whole new realm.

At that time, the treasury was abundant, the soldiers were wide, the Han army from Shunde out of Junji Mountain, from Yulin out of Heli Mountain, two lines in parallel, in one fell swoop to solve the Hexi Corridor of the West Xiongnu small regime, and then raised 100,000 troops Qilian Mountain, Yuema Western Regions Loulan State.

Now it seems that this cultivation time can only be shortened.

Because, the people below can't wait so long.

Nor would the generals have had the patience to farm within the Wall.

They only want to conquer the world now!

Thinking about it carefully, in fact, Liu Che can also understand the anxious mood of the generals and the military.

After all, the officers who enlisted in the army four years ago occupy the main position in the current Han army.

Especially the middle and lower classes, especially the vast number of officers below Sima.

In the past wars, through their own efforts, they have changed the fate of them and their families.

However, this is not enough.

They are still in the lower middle class, and they are still unable to decide and control their own destiny.

And the new generation is growing.

The young people of the Yuande generation are already launching a strong challenge.

They are younger, stronger, smarter, and braver.

Compared with the new generation, these officers, who were born and grew up in the era of Taizong and the first emperor, are obviously outdated.

And, over time, they grow old.

To their horror, they also fell into the doom of elimination.

Young people are growing up at a breakneck pace, and sooner or later these young people will be eliminated from them.

Just as they once weeded out the old nobles and the officers of the older generation.

In the midst of such anxiety, who can keep their hearts? Who can hold back the fear in their hearts?

No one wants to be eliminated, and no one wants to be eliminated in this big era.

They can only choose, while they are still young, to make more meritorious contributions and make more meritorious deeds.

And with these feats and deeds, we will leave a rich legacy for future generations.

As later generations said, give it a go, and the bicycle becomes a motorcycle.

Don't take advantage of the fact that today's social class is not solidified and the upper and lower passages are unobstructed.

Do you want to watch yourself grow old while the young people whizz past you?

From this point of view, Liu Che is actually quite pleased.

Because, his country and nation are now vigorous and full of vitality.

The ruling class is very motivated and aggressive.

It's a great time to do something big!

So, although there are some regrets, although there may be some problems.

But Liu Che still had to decide now to end the era of peace ahead of schedule. After all, taking the initiative to go to war and being dragged into the war by the army, under the balance between the two, there is no need to think about how to choose.

He snapped his fingers in his heart and counted the time.

"The Weihe River transportation project can be completed before spring and ...... March."

"If we hurry up and do a good job, we should be able to complete most of the projects by next spring......"

In this pre-AD era, the canal project did not need to be as large as later generations.

As long as the main project can be like words, it will be fine.

As for other things, you can slowly make small repairs in the future and improve them little by little.

"In addition, the track project to Taiyuan can be completed in the second half of this year...... Liu Che made a calculation in his heart: "Maybe we can start the track project from Taiyuan to Yunzhong now, and at the same time establish a forward base in the Hetao area......

If the army wants to go on an expedition, it cannot fail to consider the problem of supply.

At present, the light cavalry units of the Han army are equipped to fight outside for a month with only their own dry rations, cheese, and jerky under the condition of being separated from supply and logistics.

Counting the captures on the road, the combat radius has reached two thousand miles.

But the worst-case scenario must always be considered in everything, so that the army should stop marching and retreat to the starting point at about 1,500 miles.

Calculated in this way, Liu Che has already decided to launch the Hexi Campaign in the second half of next year to eliminate the small regime of the Western Xiongnu and open up the road to the Western Regions.

But the problem of money has become a big problem.

At present, the main budget of the Han treasury has basically been allocated to infrastructure construction.

The Kunming Pond Project, the Weihe River Water Transport Project, the Gap Project, the reconstruction of large rivers, the maintenance of embankments, the construction of embankments in the Yangtze River basin and the maintenance of the Huai River, and then the renovation of straight roads, the construction of tracks, and large and small water conservancy projects in various places.

The treasury is already poor and has to run on rats.

The courtiers have pinched their noses, and even the commercial tax has been raised.

Originally, if Liu Che's plan had started the war three years later, there would have been no financial problems.

Because, by that time, the early investment will already be able to see dividends.

The fake livestock policy and the fake farming tool policy will also usher in a peak period of returns.

Counting Anton's deportation of the central government's fiscal and taxation and the industrial and commercial taxes of various localities, the Han family's fiscal revenue is likely to reach a new height of 600,000 or even 700,000 yuan.

At that time, the circulation of five-baht coins will be further increased, and the golden five-baht will also be popularized in the market.

The state will not worry about money.

But not now.

Even next year, the treasury and the inner treasury will still not be able to come up with much money.

"The only way to do this is to implement the gold standard policy in advance, announce the nationalization of gold, and prohibit private gold trading...... Liu Che pondered in his heart.

There is no way, the Han Empire is now in a money shortage.

Lacking enough coins, Liu Che can't turn it into five baht coins even if he opens it.

The only solution is to replace it with five baht.

"It's just right, take this opportunity to force the world to agree to the gold standard policy......" Liu Che played with the Heshi Bi on his waist and laughed in his heart.

You're going to war, aren't you?

That first agreed to the policy of nationalization of gold, agreed to the policy of the gold standard.

Otherwise, listen to me.

This kind of trick has been tried and tested again and again.
