394, reorganization of the Snow Shame Army (I)

After going through the court, Jingwen successfully asked for the so-called impeachment and went back. However, Li Shimin summoned several prime ministers from the political affairs hall and several generals in the imperial court to meet with him. This meeting was unusually heavy.

"Several Qing families, you are all the people I trust the most, what do you say this Snow Shame Army should do?" Li Shimin asked.

When Li Shimin asked this, everyone's brains turned, obviously trying to understand what Emperor Li Shimin meant by this. The Snow Shame Army is the hero of this time and should be rewarded, but why is the emperor jealous? Could it be that Jingwen wants to rebel, it's a bit ridiculous to think about it.

"Your Majesty, isn't the Snow Shame Army a great hero? They defeated the Turks, so they should be rewarded! Cheng Yanjin said.

Because Jing Wen, the commander of the Snow Shame Army, is about to become Cheng Yanjin's son-in-law, of course Cheng Yanjin took the initiative to help Jingwen speak, and wanted to ask for a reward!

"Cheng Biting Jin, don't pretend to be garlic, my meaning is obvious! The Snow Shame Army is too strong, and it's uncontrollable! Li Shimin said.

Li Shimin's words immediately silenced everyone, because Li Shimin used five words to describe the Snow Shame Army. Too strong, uncontrollable, it is these five words that can summarize the current situation of the Snow Shame Army. The combat effectiveness of the Snow Shame Army is obvious to all, otherwise they would not have been able to destroy the five most powerful tribes of the Turks. Such a powerful army, what a powerful combat power! If it is an ordinary emperor, he likes it very much that he has such an army under his subordinates, which can keep his country stable and peaceful.

However, the problem is that there are three words behind it: uncontrollable. Although the emperor likes a strong army, it does not mean that he wants a strong army that is not controlled by himself. If the army is not controlled by itself, the stronger it is, the more dangerous it is. Therefore, Li Shimin said that it was uncontrollable, so everyone immediately began to be silent. Because, the Snow Shame Army is indeed uncontrollable and is not under the absolute control of the imperial court.

The Disgrace Army was initially made up of returning Turkic slaves. And their self-esteem was hit a lot at the beginning, and the imperial court was not ready for a while, so they chose Zhang Shigui as the commander. At first, there was a mutiny, and in the end, Jingwen was helplessly chosen as the target of bombing. After that, although Li Shimin wanted to take Jingwen away, Jingwen still sat in a secure position. In fact, Li Shimin also wanted to see Jingwen's management model at the beginning, so as to make a reference for the reform of the army in the future. But this has also caused Ejingwen's prestige in the Snow Shame Army to become more and more prestigious. Jingwen is not only the lifesaver of those people, but also the commander of this army, and Jingwen's prestige is incomparable. As for the emperor, the emperor was too far away from them. On the contrary, it is not possible to control it effectively.

Now, if it weren't for the fact that some grain, grass and ordnance needed to be supplied by the imperial court, I am afraid that this army would have become Jingwen's private army. Strictly speaking, Jingwen is currently in a warlord state. Because he has an army that can be absolutely subordinate to him, this is a warlord. According to the previous system of the Tang Dynasty, it was impossible to produce warlords, because there was no standing army under the big family

According to the rules before the Tang Dynasty, except for the left and right prison guards and the left and right Qianniu guards, the other twelve guards are all leading the soldiers of the world. But this kind of leadership. It's just that Yao is leading, but in fact, General Wei does not have a real standing army under him. After the war in the Tang Dynasty, they were all temporarily transferred from various parts of the country, and then formed a large army. As for the generals. It is also a temporary assignment, and it will not allow the general to directly manage some soldiers for a long time. This system has resulted in the inability to produce warlords. In the late Tang Dynasty, warlords were born only after the collapse of the Juntian system and the government military system.

However, due to various reasons, the Snow Shame Army had a special result at that time. The Snow Shame Army is now directly controlled by Jingwen alone. And the imperial court can't control much. If the Snow Shame Army is not strong in combat, then it can be so-so. But now the combat effectiveness of the Snow Shame Army is too strong, so if it is not controlled by the imperial court. That's going to be dangerous. Although Li Shimin installed some people in the Snow Shame Army, these people were not enough for the imperial court to completely control the Snow Shame Army. An army that is so uncontrolled by itself, and unusually strong, is probably something that any emperor should be afraid of.

"Your Majesty, do you suspect that Jingwen wants to rebel?" Fang Xuanling asked.

Li Shimin shook his head and said: "Rebellion, I lent Jingwen a few dares, but he didn't dare." However, if you are so uncontrolled, you are really just worried about ......"

Li Shimin didn't say anything, what Li Shimin meant was that if this problem was not solved for a long time, then Datang might really be in danger next. Therefore, we must do our best to solve the problem of the Snow Shame Army, otherwise it will become a drag sooner or later in the future. And if this army is also so loyal to Jingwen's descendants, isn't that encouraging Jingwen to become a warlord for generations? So, as an emperor, you have to weed out any possibility of becoming a warlord.

"The emperor is going to ...... Jingwen," Prime Minister Wang Qi made a gesture to wipe his neck.

Li Shimin shook his head and said; "That's not enough, I just want to take back the Snow Shame Army."

Everyone began to fall silent, because they thought that it should not be easy to take back the Snow Shame Army. Because now the Snow Shame Army only admits Jingwen, and it doesn't seem to admit other officers very much! And in the eyes of many people, is it a little difficult to get a general who controls a large army to give up his military power? Therefore, the army is searching their stomachs and thinking about how to take back the Snow Shame Army. And the emperor didn't want to kill Jingwen. Because once you really want to kill, I'm afraid you can't do it. Jingwen did not make any rebellious moves, and Li Shimin also believed that Jingwen would not rebel. Jingwen only inadvertently possessed such a huge military power. But now it's a little difficult to get it back.

"Your Majesty, in fact, do we think things are a little complicated? Actually, things should be very simple. Du Ruhui said suddenly.

"Do we think it's complicated? What do you mean? Li Shimin didn't understand the meaning.

Du Ruhui then said something, and then everyone was a little surprised, as if they really thought a little complicated.

"Maybe it really is! One simple thing, but we people make it complicated! I'll get you ready right away. Li Shimin nodded and said. (To be continued......)
