Chapter 91 National Reform
As soon as Sima Yi's words fell, the entire court was in an uproar.
"Great victory in Eastern Xinjiang?"
"Could it be that the orc army invaded again and was repelled by the general?"
The officials exchanged their heads and whispered each other, they were very excited, and their words were full of pride.
"Read the war report. ”
Su Chen smiled and waved his hand.
"Wow. ”
Sima Yi nodded respectfully, unfolded the blood-stained battle report, and read it aloud: "Chen Silong, write this military report in Dongjiang, presenting the emperor! Last night, the million orc empire sneaked into the city, and the ministers laid an ambush, attacked inside and outside, killed more than 870,000 beast troops, captured 110,000 prisoners, and the rest took advantage of the chaos to escape out of the city......
The general's battle report has always been simple and clear.
There is no excessive rhetoric, and there is no meaning of praise and merit.
From this battle report, everyone seemed to see the resolute and meticulous general standing in the center of the court.
"Oh my God!"
"A million beast armies sneak into the city?"
"The Great General actually wiped out a million beast armies in one battle, which is the greatest military feat in more than 20 years!"
When Sima Yi's voice fell, everyone was shocked, and the civil and military officials exclaimed continuously.
More than 20 years ago, because Si Long wanted to take the initiative to attack the Orc Empire, the Orc Empire seized the opportunity to invade the Great Xia Dynasty.
That year, after the orc army went all the way deep into the hinterland of Great Xia, the national fortunes of the entire Great Xia suffered a great setback, and the subsequent Sijia army could only fight against the orc empire on the defensive.
Every time the Orc Empire sent a million troops to constantly attack the city and harass the eastern frontier, the generals adopted a prudent defensive strategy to ensure that the frontier was not lost.
Many people say that the battle of that year wiped out the general's sharpness.
The general didn't dare to fight, he almost lost his life because of that defeat, but now, Dongjiang proves it with a feat that shocked everyone!
The general has never changed, he is still the invincible god of war, but he is better at forbearance than he was twenty years ago, and he understands the temperament of the orc army better.
"Good!"
Su Chen smiled: "The first battle to pacify the army of millions of orcs, the battle is impressive, Si Long is worthy of being the pillar of Great Xia." ”
"Did he say, 'What reward?'
"Back to the emperor, the general only said that he begged the imperial capital to support the eastern frontier and rebuild the eastern defense line fortress, because of the battle seven days ago, the entire eastern frontier fortress city became dilapidated, and it was difficult to prevent the next offensive of the orc empire. ”
"Hmm. ”
Su Chen nodded: "Aiqing thinks, what should I do?"
The one who had the most secret contact with Dongjiang was Sima Yi, and Su Chen wanted to hear Sima Yi's opinion, because Su Chen could be very sure that things in Dongjiang were not so simple.
How could an army of millions of orcs casually enter the interior of a fortress? There must be a secret in it!
And there was something about Si Yu, and Si Long didn't give a clear answer.
Combining all kinds of things, Su Chen could guess that many things about the inside story of the great victory in Dongjiang could not be said on the bright side.
Sima Yi said in a deep voice: "The minister thinks that the most important thing now is to fully support the eastern frontier, repair the city, and guard against the next counterattack of the orc empire." ”
When the army of millions of orcs is destroyed, the orc empire must be furious.
For the orc empire, whose national strength is far superior to that of the Great Xia Dynasty, there are a lot of million troops, but it will not cripple them all at once, and the orc empire definitely has the ability to retaliate against Great Xia.
Moreover, everyone can guess that the next revenge of the Orc Empire will definitely be even more deadly!
For the current situation in Great Xia, Su Chen and Sima Yi are more inclined to focus on training troops and rectifying other domestic affairs, and after everything is stable in the country, they will focus on the issue of Eastern Xinjiang and whether to counterattack the Orc Empire.
Originally, Su Chen was thinking that if Si Long didn't give his strength, he would definitely send one of Bai Qi and Zhao Yun to guard the eastern frontier, no matter what, it was best not to start a full-scale war with the Orc Empire at this time.
Once the Great Xia Dynasty and the Orc Empire start a war, it will definitely drag the entire Great Xia Dynasty into the quagmire of war, seriously slowing down the improvement and development of national strength.
In the Eight Desolations Continent, under the situation of the chaos of all races, the entanglement between the Great Xia Dynasty and the Orc Empire will only go to the empires of other races.
In the face of absolute certainty, Su Chen will not take the initiative to start a war.
As an emperor, it's not as simple as shouting two voices: "The king is dead".
Su Chen needed to consider it from a different perspective, striving to maximize the interests of the Great Xia Dynasty.
On the whole, the Great Xia Dynasty, which had just experienced the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, is still seeking stability and development.
Only when a series of such things as sufficient resources, population, and troops, the increase in the average strength of non-commissioned officers, and the improvement of the education level of the common people are thoroughly implemented, will we be able to gain a tremendous advantage in future wars.
"Good. ”
After pondering for a moment, Su Chen nodded and said, "The Military Aircraft Pavilion can draw up a decree to mobilize all the baggage of the ten major counties to fully support the Eastern Frontier! At the same time, while recruiting new troops, we will also recruit a group of reservists for the Si Jiajun. ”
You can't just let the Si family army fight in the eastern Xinjiang, but don't replenish the troops, if the Si family army dies, it will be a big loss for the Great Xia Dynasty.
"In addition, this battle report will be announced to the world, so that the people of Great Xia will know that Dongjiang is worry-free. ”
Only a stable situation can enable the continuous and orderly and stable growth of national strength.
At present, the only elite armies in China that can match the Si Jiajun are the Great Xia Iron Army and the Great Xia Town Guard Cavalry, but the number of these two legions is not as good as the Sijia Army.
If you really want to go to war with the Orc Empire, the Great Xia Dynasty will definitely suffer in terms of troops!
But if it is useless to forcibly expand and increase the number of troops, because most of the soldiers of the Orc Empire are not weak, and if the Great Xia Dynasty wants to come up with the same elite or even more powerful army, it must involve the improvement of the strength of the soldiers and the civil and military education of the people.
Only when the education of all aspects of martial arts cultivation and military strategy for governing the country is improved, can a steady stream of talents emerge and more powerful soldiers can be recruited.
A country's military hard power is inseparable from its economy, agriculture, manufacturing, education, ideology, and so on.
"Wow. ”
Sima Yi nodded, he had the same idea as the emperor, let Si Long guard the frontier and develop desperately in the country.
Just wait for the time to be sufficient, and then raise the sword soldiers!
Su Chen raised his head and looked at the ministers of the Military Aircraft Pavilion.
Chen Qun realized in his heart, took the initiative to stand up, and bowed his hand and said: "Emperor, the minister has something to do." ”
The civil and military officials looked at it one after another, and they were still immersed in the shock and surprise brought by General Si Long, but the ministers of the Military Aircraft Pavilion had already considered the next step.
The smarter a person is, the more they can smell impending danger from a seemingly safe atmosphere and thus prepare for a rainy day.
"Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
"A few days ago, the Military Machine Pavilion made new adjustments to the official system of the ten major counties and major cities of the Great Xia Dynasty, as well as the taxation of farming, the taxation of merchants, the increase of military salaries, the expansion of the conditions for soldiers, and the formation of a new army..... With some superficial strategies, I hope that the emperor will accept it. ”
Chen Qun opened his mouth and said a series of words, then took out a thick piece of music from his arms, and respectfully handed it to the palace people around him, who trotted all the way up the white marble ladder and presented it to Su Chen.
The officials were dumbfounded, and it seemed that the ministers of the Military Cabinet had made up their minds and wanted to carry out a drastic national reform.
Whether it is the transfer of officials, the economy, or the people's livelihood, vigorous and resolute improvements have been made in all aspects, striving to stimulate the Great Xia Dynasty to enter a period of rapid development.
I have to say that the opportunity for the ministers of the Military Aircraft Pavilion to grasp the opportunity is to be accurate, the Rebellion of the Eight Kings has just ended, and at present, the power of the family lords in the country of the Great Xia Dynasty is at its lowest ebb, and they are simply unable to resist a series of policy arrangements from the imperial capital.
Just wait for the policy to be fully implemented, and the ten major counties are full of emperors, and it is too late for the family lords to resist.
"Good. ”
Su Chen simply glanced at the fold, nodded and said, "Just do it according to the meaning of the Military Machine Pavilion, and draw up the decree immediately after the dispersal of the dynasty." ”
Su Chen had already seen this recital, but now it was just a passing motion at the court meeting.
"Other Aiqing, do you have any objections?"
"Seconded. ”
"Seconded. ”
Hundreds of civil and military officials came out one after another to give up their approval.
None of the officials who can stand in the Taihe Hall are political idiots.
They can see that there is a great reshuffle of officials in various places, the treatment of the army is improved, and the status of businessmen is improved...... These are all things that Su Chen absolutely has to do.
Whoever dares to stop it will be against the emperor!
Nowadays, the imperial power is strong, the military power is in hand, and the centralized power is unprecedentedly strong.
There may have been a rebellion against the imperial power before, but now it will never happen.
"Good. ”
Su Chen nodded with satisfaction, what he wants is an obedient courtier, you work hard, don't play tricks.
Great Xia is strong, and everyone is good.
"Emperor Qi, the minister has a matter. ”
Guan Yiwu stepped forward.
Say. ”
Su Chen's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice.
When the officials saw the emperor's expression, they all felt a pang in their hearts and looked at Guan Yiwu.
They know that the highlight of today's court meeting is coming.
