Chang'an City.

Anguo Mansion.

Main Hall.

Li Shanxing, the Duke of Anguo, sat on the Taishi chair, his vicissitudes of life did not have any expression, his deep eyes looked around, and said leisurely: "What do you think of Qian Haonan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, recruiting new troops everywhere?" ”

The voice fell.

The martial artists present all looked at each other.

A moment later.

An Pingbo opened his mouth and said: "The old man thinks that there is nothing wrong with recruiting the new army, but some of the positions should be held by the children of Wu Xun, otherwise it will become a private soldier of some people." ”

Side.

Luo Nanhou echoed: "An Pingbo's words are reasonable, my army has been led by Wu Xun since ancient times, why is it that after the establishment of the new army, it will be handed over to a group of chickens and dogs to command?" It's not in order! ”

Since the founding of the country, the generals of the various Zhichong prefectures have all been appointed by the sons of Wuxun, and only when the number of people is insufficient, the military attaches selected by the military department will be appointed.

In the beginning, Wu Xun served as a general in a certain Ochichong Mansion until his death.

All of them were later proposed by civil officials.

The generals of Ochichong Province change their garrisons every three years.

The implication is that the soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers, so as to prevent the martial arts from supporting the soldiers and respecting themselves.

Out of many considerations, the warriors accepted this approach.

Today, although the control of the military commanders has decreased significantly.

But in any case, the vast majority of Zhichong generals are allowed to serve as Wu Xun, which is acceptable.

But.

The military department recruits new troops, and the situation is different.

All the generals of the new army were military attaches selected by the military department, and none of them came from the military honor group.

Even the main general is a nobody who came out of nowhere.

That Qi Jiguang is not even an earl!

He can be the commander of a new army with 10,000 people!

It's a ridiculous joke!

The nobles have long been dissatisfied with this, but they have not mentioned it in the court for three reasons.

First, the money for the creation of the new army did not come from the treasury, but from Prime Minister Fang Xiu.

This means that this new army cannot develop too large, at most it is only a small fight, and it will not affect the status of the nobles.

Second, the new army was not equipped with weapons, and there were no weapons in the training subjects on weekdays, so it could not form combat effectiveness in a short period of time, and there was not much threat to the Folding Prefecture.

Third, the Wuxun Group has no grievances or enmity with the Fang Party.

Even, in the past ten years, in order to expand its influence in the court, the Fang Party often used various means to bribe several national dukes.

Therefore, the Wuxun did not believe that the Fang Party created the new army in order to weaken Wuxun's power.

Today, however, is different.

The new army, which originally consisted of only 10,000 men, has grown to 30,000 after several months of expansion!

You must know that the forbidden army stationed near the Beijing Division is only 30,000 people combined!

And!

During this time, the size of the new army was still expanding!

Qian Haonan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, even issued a notice half a month ago to continue to recruit new troops, and the number of people is not limited! No limit to status!

Even the soldiers of the Forbidden Army and the Zhichong Mansion can join the new army as long as they meet the conditions.

This is tantamount to fighting for power from them!

Who can tolerate it!

"Yesterday, the eldest son of the old man wrote a letter to the old man, saying that in just half a month, more than 200 people in Nan'an Zhichong Mansion signed up to join the new army!

Two hundred, it doesn't sound like much, but they are all the elites of Nan'an Zhichong Mansion!

If the new army robs people like this again, in less than a year, there will only be a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people left in Zhichong Prefecture everywhere! ”

"Not only Zhichong Mansion, but also the forbidden army, a few days ago, the Marquis of Japan counted that since the creation of the new army, the loss of soldiers on the left and right Xiaowei has reached more than 1,000 people!

For this reason, Ben Hou also went to the Yamen of the Ministry of War yesterday to inquire about this, do you know how Qian Haonan replied to Ben Hou? ”

"How?"

"He actually said that the new army, like the forbidden army, is fighting for the imperial court, there is no distinction between high and low, and the soldiers choose to join the new army, it is their own idea, and he can't interfere!"

When Luo Nanhou, who served as the general of Zuo Xiaowei, said this, his face showed indignation.

When An Pingbo heard this, he was also annoyed, and he said angrily:

"You should have asked him then! What if a soldier of the new army joins the forbidden army! ”

As soon as this remark came out.

The martial artists subconsciously glanced at each other and fell silent.

They know it in their hearts.

If it was a hundred years ago, the military households still had their own fields, and they might still consider it in the face of the new army's reward of two taels of silver a month.

But now, the vast majority of military households are alone, how can they resist the temptation of two taels of silver.

Even if you can't think about it anymore, you won't leave the new army and join the forbidden army.

I saw that the atmosphere in the room fell silent.

An Guogong on the first seat coughed twice, and said solemnly:

"Everyone here should know something about the situation of the new army, so there is no need to say more."

"It's all about how we respond."

After a pause, seeing that no one spoke, he continued:

"The old man has already discussed with the Duke of Wei and the Duke of Dingguo yesterday."

"Tomorrow's court meeting, choose one of you from among you, and impeach Qian Haonan on the grounds of raising private soldiers!"

"If the rest of the Fang Party defends Qian Haonan, the old man and the other two Guogongs will stand up and refute it."

"Your Majesty will definitely seize this opportunity to weaken the power of the Fang Party when he sees our attitude."

"At this time, even if Fang Xiu goes out in person, I'm afraid it won't help."

"After that, you wait to make a suggestion, the new army can be retained, but the main general must be the three princes!"

"Of course, in order to dispel His Majesty's concerns, the chief general of the new army can also be changed every three years, just like General Zhichong, this year by the old man, and then by Dingguo Gong after three years."

The voice fell.

The martial artists present all showed thoughtful expressions.

They don't have much of an opinion on this one.

The question is, who will lead the impeachment of Qian Haonan......

You must know that although the Fang Party is only a part of the civilian clique, it has great influence in the court.

After this incident, there will be revenge on those who came out.

They don't want to be targeted by this bunch of guys who eat people and don't spit out bones.

Minutes and seconds passed.

I don't know how long it took.

Someone suddenly stood up.

Everyone was shocked, and they all looked at Luo Nanhou who stood up, and said in their hearts: Someone is finally going to stand up!

Luo Nanhou looked solemn, looked around, and said in a deep voice:

"Tomorrow's play, the responsibility is heavy, and those who are not calm and solemn cannot do it!"

"Ben Hou thinks that among us, An Pingbo is the oldest! The character is also the most calm! ”

"The matter of playing is none other than An Pingbo!"

As soon as this remark came out.

The crowd was stunned.

I thought that Luo Nanhou was going to sacrifice himself to fulfill everyone, but I didn't expect that An Pingbo was pushed out.

At this moment.

The most confused is An Pingbo.

He looked at Luo Nanhou and scolded his mother in his heart.

After being silent for a while, he also stood up and said loudly: "The old man is old, his mouth can't keep up with his brain, and when the time comes, he will definitely fall behind in the face of those talkative Wenchen."

Luo Nanhou is in his prime, and he has sharp teeth, standing up and playing, just right! ”

Luo Nanhou said: "This is a bad statement, Ben Hou is fifty in his Chinese New Year's Eve this year, and with Anping Bobi, his knowledge is shallow after all, and when he arrives in the court, I am afraid that he does not know how to speak at all."

When it comes to playing, you are more suitable for Anpingbo! ”

An Pingbo waved his hand and said, "According to the old man, it is still suitable for Luo Nanhou." ”

"An Pingbo is suitable."

"Luo Nanhou is suitable."

The two tugged at each other for a long time.

Not far away, a strange woman's voice suddenly sounded.

"If you two can't do it, I'll play it tomorrow!"

As soon as this remark came out.

The entire main hall fell silent in an instant.

The martial artists frowned slightly and looked at the position of the door.

There, a white-clothed man stood in place, holding a folding fan in his hand and his eyes cold.

An Pingbo looked at her, frowned, and said coldly:

"Who are you?"

Shangguan Haitang was expressionless, and said coldly:

"It doesn't matter."

"The important thing is that you don't gather here."

As soon as this remark came out.

The martial arts frowned even tighter, and there was more vigilance in the eyes of Shangguan Haitang.

On the first seat.

An Guogong looked at the white clothes not far away, and suddenly thought of something, and his eyes showed a touch of surprise.

Immediately, the old face screwed together.

"You're from the first village?"

Shangguan Haitang looked at him and didn't answer, but just said to himself:

"On the orders of the Prime Minister, during this time, please rest and recuperate in the Anguo Mansion."

"The nearby forbidden army and Zhichong Mansion don't bother you to ask, and the prime minister will send someone to take over!"

The voice fell.

The warriors were shocked.

At this moment, they just reacted that they were actually under house arrest by Prime Minister Fang Xiu!

"Bold! He Fang Xiu is just a prime minister, what qualifications does he have to put me under house arrest! ”

"We are great nobles, and we have a knighthood! Even Your Majesty, you don't dare to do anything with us! Where did he get the bear-hearted leopard guts to dare to attack us! ”

"The new army is only more than 30,000 people, and the forbidden army and the various places together are no less than 500,000! Fang Xiu is not afraid that I will wait for the army to be on the side of the Qing Monarch! ”

"Fang Xiu is doing this to rebel!"

The martial artists looked extremely angry and pointed at Shangguan Haitang.

Shangguan Haitang was still expressionless, as if he was too lazy to say more to them, and said coldly:

"I advise you to be honest, otherwise ...... Hugh blames the sword for being ruthless! ”

The voice fell.

A peacock feather flew out of her sleeve and stabbed like lightning into the pillar next to An Pingbo, nailing it deeply!

When the martial artists saw this scene, they were all shocked, and they all fell silent in an instant.

Shangguan Haitang looked around, snorted coldly, said no more, and turned to leave.

Seeing this, the martial artists wanted to say something.

Before I could open my mouth, I saw a crowd of people outside the door.

One by one, the swordsmen shrouded in black robes and holding strange scimitars in their hands stood everywhere.

There was a cold glow in his eyes.

Moment.

The warriors were all silent.

When they look at each other, they can see the trance and panic in each other's eyes.

Until this moment.

They just realized.

It turned out that Fang Xiu's dog thing was really so bold!

Dare to risk the world's condemnation and put Wu Xun under house arrest!

I just don't know.

Tomorrow's Pilgrimage.

How will His Majesty and the civil officials react when they see that none of the martial artists have come to court?

But.

Since Fang Xiu dared to do this, he was probably ready to rebel!

If nothing else.

Daqian is about to fall into turmoil, just like Zhou Guo.

Thinking of this, the martial artists felt extremely complicated.

Either sorrowful, angry, or depressed......

They sighed.

"Hey......"

"There is this traitor! What a misfortune for the Great Dry! ”
