The royal power controls the military power, and without the royal power, Yingzheng naturally has no military power.

If you want to mobilize the army, you need not only the king's order, but also the tiger talisman as proof, and almost all the tiger talismans are in the hands of Lü Buwei.

However, although Lü Buwei held the power and the tiger talisman, he could not mobilize the army privately, and not all military power was in his hands. The private soldiers of the state capitals are controlled by the feudal officials.

Ordinary combat operations and daily drills and management are also completed by generals at all levels under the command of the general, who is the actual manager of the army. It can be said that except for foreign attacks, military power is actually still in the hands of generals, but it cannot be transferred privately.

And Meng Fu himself controls the Tiger Fu, and the Meng family army is not controlled by Lu Buwei at all, and can be mobilized at will.

"What does the old general mean?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Stay for a few days, the old minister's spirit will recover a little, and he will go to the court to beat him." Meng Fu said, "It is said that the old minister is old and frail, sick, and can no longer lead the army to fight. Now I am willing to disarm and return to the field, return the military power to the king, and choose another good general to lead this department. And the king said that for the time being, he could not find a suitable subordinate who would lead the old minister for decades, so that the military power of the old minister would be directly controlled by the king. ”

Ginger is still old and spicy. This move by Meng Fu can be described as not unwise. It is true that he is old and frail and cannot lead troops, so he can naturally hand over military power to Yingzheng, and even if Lü Buwei wants to oppose it, he can't find a reason.

At the same time, Meng Fu also made his loyalty and position very clear to Yingzheng, that is, what Li Si said, both loyal to the king and finally the country.

In fact, the Meng family is not without successors, Meng Wu is the most suitable candidate, but Meng Fu gave up the core interests of the entire Meng family in order to help Ying Zheng, how can this not make Ying Zheng feel admired and moved.

"Old general, this ......" Ying Zheng wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

"Your Majesty, don't worry about anything, just rely on the old minister." Meng Fu looked at Yingzheng, and the words were true, "Several former kings have been kind to the old ministers, and the old ministers have nothing to repay, and the king has the talent of the emperor, and what the old ministers have done is what they do." What's more, this military power is originally the king's, but the old minister returned it to the king. ”

It seems that there is no excuse, and Ying Zheng has another plan in his heart.

"In that case, then according to the old general's wishes." Yingzheng's eyes were shining, "But the widow still has something to ask for." ”

"The old minister also has something to trust, cough cough." Meng Fu coughed twice and said, "Then please speak first." ”

"The widow wants to reuse the Montessori clan to fulfill the old general's wish in his life." Ying Zheng said sincerely.

"Hahaha, the old minister's entrustment is also to invite the king to be useful, don't forget the Montessori descendants, cough cough." Meng Fu coughed as soon as he was happy.

"That's very good." Ying Zheng was overjoyed and said, "No matter where the military power of the Meng family belongs, it will be led and drilled by the Meng family." ”

"Thank you, the king." Meng Fu is also worried that if the Meng family army that he has worked hard to build all his life is controlled by others, he is afraid that he will not be brave in the future.

The tacit understanding between each other has increased the trust and understanding between each other, and many things no longer need to be deliberately expressed.

Ying Zheng saw that Meng Fu began to cough again, and was also worried about Meng Fu's body, so he said: "General Meng Lao is resting, and other details will be discussed in the next day, and the widow will go to see if the medicinal materials have been retrieved." ”

Meng Fu knew that he couldn't keep a good state for a long time, so he nodded to Yingzheng, and the two reached an agreement.

"I also bothered the king to let the dog come over, and the old minister asked a few words." Meng Fu said.

Ying Zheng also nodded, covered Meng Fu with a quilt, and turned around and went out.

In the other room, the Mongolian family is waiting here.

Seeing Yingzheng enter the house, everyone got up and saluted.

"Your Majesty." Meng Wu arched his hand and said.

"General Meng, General Meng still has a few words to say to you." Ying Zheng said, "You go in first." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Wait here, Your Majesty. Meng Wu turned to look at Lady Meng and said, "You must not be lazy in serving the king here. ”

"Yes." Mrs. Meng said.

Meng Wu did not take a concubine, only Mrs. Meng had a wife, which shows that the relationship between the two is very good. Mrs. Meng is naturally the only housewife in the family.

Meng Wu went to Meng Fu's bedroom, leaving the family and Ying Zheng to wait for Imperial Doctor Song to return.

In fact, Ying Zheng said that it was false to wait for Zhao Gao to come back from the medicine, his real purpose was to talk to Meng Tian and Meng Yi brothers, after all, there are not many opportunities to come to Mengfu, and if the two are summoned on weekdays, I am afraid that it will be too obvious. So seize the moment.

"Your Majesty, please have tea." Mrs. Meng personally made tea for Ying Zheng.

"Mrs. Meng, don't be polite, you all go and get busy, the widow wants to talk to the Meng brothers." Ying Zheng looked at Mrs. Meng and said in a soft tone.

"Do as the king commands." Mrs. Meng looked at her two sons and said, "Tian'er, Yi'er, accompany the king here, don't make mistakes, whatever the king commands, just do it." ”

"Yes, Mother." The two brothers, Meng Tian and Meng Yi, said in unison.

After saying that, Mrs. Meng bowed to Ying Zheng and said goodbye, and everyone else also bowed at the same time and followed Mrs. Meng out of the house.

There were only three people left in the room, Ying Zheng, Meng Tian, and Meng Yi.

"It's just the three of us, so don't be restrained." Ying Zheng smiled and spoke.

"Hehe, your majesty, my father and mother are here, and I don't dare to come out, for fear of saying something wrong." Meng Tian said.

"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a few days, have you made any progress in kung fu? Or, compare and compare. Meng Yi made a gesture, but put it down again, and then said, "Forget it, this is in the mansion." If there is anything new in the palace these days, tell us about it. ”

When Ying Zheng returned to Qin, the first king selected several sons of powerful ministers for Ying Zheng to accompany Ying Zheng to study and practice martial arts, in addition to the Meng brothers, there were Li Xin, the son of Li Yao, the Marquis of Di Dao, and Wang Ben, the son of the general Wang Qian.

Several young people are often together on weekdays, but now that there are no elders by their side, they don't have to worry about any monarch and courtesy, and they immediately switched to brother mode.

"These days, there are really a lot of new things." Ying Zheng said with a relaxed face, "Let's pick the important ones first." ”

The two brothers of the Meng family came over curiously.

"The widow's crown ceremony has been postponed, and the plan we agreed before to let you lead the general to fight seems to have to be postponed." Ying Zheng's expression was faint, without a hint of anger.

"Who is so bold?" When Meng Yi heard that he couldn't be a general, he asked angrily.

"Who else can there be, Lu Xiangbang." Meng Tian was so calm that he was the oldest.

"In this matter, it doesn't matter if the widow is there, and the widow will not bow until he is fully prepared. On the other hand, even if he asks the widow to perform the crown salute, the widow may not agree. Ying Zheng smiled and said.

"Oh, that's right." Meng Tian nodded, as if he heard something.

Meng Yi seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but he also nodded.

"Do you know what happened to Old Man Meng looking for a widow?" Ying Zheng asked.

"I wanted to ask just now, but my father was beside me, so I didn't talk much." Meng Tian said.

"Old Man Meng is worried that if he is gone, the widow will be killed by traitors, and the Great Qin River will be taken away by outsiders. Therefore, I want to return military power to the widow on the grounds of old age and physical age, just in case. Ying Zheng only said the key points of his conversation with Meng Fu, and Meng Fu knew that time was running out, but he couldn't say it.

"Oh, that's right." The brothers' reactions were very flat, and they didn't have the slightest feeling that their things were being taken by someone else.

"In fact, the widow can't directly manage the army, and your father has to do it for you." Ying Zheng said, "And the two of you, the widow has other arrangements. ”

"Your Majesty, I want to lead the troops." When Meng Tian heard that there were other arrangements, he hurriedly said.

"I will also lead the troops and go into battle to kill the enemy." Meng Yi also said.

"Kill whom, Lü Buwei? Or is it an enemy country? Ying Zheng asked rhetorically.

"Kill ......" Meng Yi didn't know how to answer.

Kill Lü Buwei? With his current strength, he can't kill him, and besides, Lu Buwei has not committed a crime, and he has not shown any dissent so far. Kill the enemy country? There must be war, and even if troops are sent to fight, it is not Meng Yi's turn.

Although these two brothers both had military affairs in the Mengjia army, they still lacked experience in battle.

Ying Zheng smiled and changed the topic: "I'll talk about the matter of commanding the army later, the widow recently invited a gentleman named Li Si, this person is full of talent, and he is a rare talent." ”

Ying Zheng briefly told the Meng brothers the content of the conversation with Li Si in the past few days, as well as his evaluation of Li Si.

""Destroying the Six Kingdoms"?" Meng Yi asked, "Is it very different from the "Six Kingdoms Policy"? ”

"If you look at the tactics alone, there is not much difference." Ying Zheng said, "But the revelation it gives to the widow is not small." In the war between countries, the stakes should be the destruction of the country, not a few cities. What can support the war of annihilation is sufficient grain and grass, as well as new combat weapons and siege equipment. The years of winning wars by relying on the number of troops should be over. ”

The two brothers, Meng Tian and Meng Yi, listened attentively, thinking attentively, and changed their views on the war.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if I can lend this book to our two brothers for study." Meng Tian said.

"Haha, no problem, I'll ask Zhao Gao to send it when I return to the palace." Yingzheng is not afraid of him borrowing, but he is afraid that he will not borrow.

Ying Zheng needs the selected people to be like-minded and have the same goals as him, so as to grasp the hearts of the people more firmly and achieve the goal more quickly.

"The king said that there are other arrangements for my two brothers, but it is ......," Meng Tian said.

"The widow wants you to put you in charge of the Military Affairs Department." Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Meng Tian is in charge of the Ordnance Department and is responsible for the production, development, and allocation of weapons. In the future, if there is a war, our army's weapons will be superior to the enemy's, and we will have a great advantage, and we will also be able to reduce the number of casualties. ”

"Well, the subordinate understands." Meng Tian knew that Yingzheng was already planning for the whole situation, and what was given to him was an important factor in winning the war.

Ying Zheng looked at Meng Yi again and said, "Meng Yi, you are responsible for the reserve and allocation of military rations. As for the control of the treasury, it is currently in the hands of Lu Xiangbang, and the widow will definitely get it back as soon as possible. In the future, the widow will also mobilize an army to produce food and increase reserves. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Meng Yi's answer was even firmer, he regarded Yingzheng as a brother, and he was absolutely obedient.

"As for the official position, the widow thinks it's better to keep a low profile for now." Ying Zheng said, "The widow will canonize your father, General Mengwu, and put him in charge of the Military Affairs Department, and you will assist him, but the actual power is in your hands." ”

"The subordinate understands." The two brothers said in unison.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, very light, it should be a woman.
