Chapter 170: Philip's Gamble
,
"Never!!"
Hearing the turtle say this, Dodoro and Sharpa were just stunned, but Philip shouted directly, looking at Char with a frightened expression on his face, and his expression was shocked.
Dodoro and Sharpa were a little dazed, and glanced at Philip - Philip was originally an outsider, and after careful calculation, he and Char still had some grudges, so although Sharba didn't have much of a good face towards Philip along the way, even Dodora was polite on his face, and he was secretly wary of the former head of the Silver Python Warrior Regiment in his heart.
At this moment, Char spoke, Philip immediately refuted to his face, and Sharpa was the first to be unhappy, and said angrily: "I don't think there is anything wrong with it! This peasant and military system is originally a mess, and when he was in the army in the early years, General Adric also said that this peasant and military system is not good, I think, just abolish it!"
Although Tatara didn't say anything, he looked at the god Sè and didn't think so.
Philip sighed, Sharpa's questioning, the tone was very unkind, and the eyes that looked at him were also quite unfriendly, his eyes flashed, he hesitated slightly, looked at Char, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, I know that you and several others have prejudices against me, but I am already a waste person now, I have no intention of harming you anymore, only you are willing to protect me at this moment, how can I do anything to harm you? If you fall, where can I find a big tree to rely on?"
Char didn't move, touching Char and staring at Philip: "Tell me, what does it mean." ”
Philip exhaled, looking at Char's expressionless face, but suddenly a little fear became in his heart, and then a trace of evil thought suddenly arose in his heart: Why should I break this truth to him? He abolished my hands, if I don't break him, take the opportunity to encourage him to make such a mess, maybe I can cause him a big disaster, and when the disaster comes, won't I also take revenge?
But this thought only flashed in Philip's heart, remembering that he was now a half-crippled person, and there were many enemies over the years, although Char had abolished himself at the beginning, but he also ambushed him before himself. Moreover, some rìzi was chased and killed by traitors a few days ago, and if it wasn't for Char's shot, he would have died a long time ago. People have experienced so many things, and their mentality is very different from before, and the evil thoughts in his heart have gradually dissipated, but he has recovered a little bit of his conscience.
At the moment, he groaned slightly, his eyes were honest, and he said slowly: "My lord, you are right, this peasant and military system is indeed not good, and it can even be said to be a rotten sore on our Byzantine Empire, if this rotten sore is not cut, it will slowly suck the blood of the empire, and the heavy burden and waste of armaments will crush our country little by little." If I want to say that it is abolished, if I put it in my heart, I will naturally agree with it wholeheartedly......! You can't do that!"
"Why. Char was not happy or angry, and asked lightly.
More than 100 years ago, the empire set up the 'Tema system,' and the two most fundamental systems of this system were: peasants and soldiers, and military districts!
The foundation of the peasant army lies in the tuntian, and the land used for the cantonment is divided from the territory of the empire, so that the peasants and soldiers can cultivate the land on the spot and use the tuntian to raise the soldiers, so that they can be self-sufficient! They are peasants in their leisure time and soldiers in wartime -- this is the foundation of the peasant and soldier system. On the other hand, on the basis of the peasant and military system, a military region system was formed, and as a result, a number of military regions appeared in the empire, and the military regions had governors, and the peasants and soldiers and tuntian land in the areas under their jurisdiction could be said to be in the hands of the financial, military, and political powers...... In the end, the fifty-four groups of governors of the empire were formed, which formed today...... Well, saying a taboo thing has formed today's pattern of the military department and the royal family faintly fighting each other. ”
Char's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding, and he said in a deep voice: "Go on." ”
"Yes. Philip wiped his sweat: "So, the peasant and military system is the military district system, and the military district system is equal to the peasant and soldier system!" Speaking of this, Philip plucked up his courage and looked at Char with blazing eyes: "I dare to ask my lord, after you abolished the peasant and military system in Moore County, what should you do with these lands that were originally turned into tuntian?"
"Naturally, the land is owned by the county, and it is distributed to local farmers on the spot, and it is distributed according to the state rent. Char said quickly.
"Okay! This is nothing, the land, it used to be cultivated by peasants, and it is obvious that they have left their identities as peasants and soldiers to cultivate as pure farmers, in fact, it has not changed much. When Philip said this, Sharba next to him was dissatisfied: "There is no change, isn't it just a change of name, I think those mud-legged guys are not any 'soldiers' at all, they are just a group of farmers." ”
"It's just a change of name...... Philip sneered, he saw that Char seemed to attach great importance to what he said, and in the face of Sharpa's accusation, he also had the courage to be hard topped, and said slowly: "But do you know that sometimes, it's just a 'name', which is the key to everyone's fight for their heads!"
After he retorted to Sharpa, he looked at Char, sat on his horse and bent down to salute: "My lord, as I just said, the peasant and soldier system is the military district system, and the military district system is the peasant and soldier system! The peasant soldiers were disbanded, and the land was returned to the state...... If there is no land and no peasants and soldiers, then there seems to be no need for the military region to exist! Since the military region can also be disbanded, can the families of those governors and generals who have inherited the inheritance of the times also be removed from their posts and go back to retire?"
Char was stunned, lowered his head and frowned, thoughtful.
Dodoro on the side suddenly interjected: "But we just abolished the peasant and military system in Moore County, and Moore County is not a military region, but an administrative region directly under the jurisdiction of the empire, and there is no military governor here, and the abolition is just our own business in one county." ”
Philip shook his head and looked at Tataro with some disdain: "This is a mouth." ”
He simply looked directly at Char's face and took a deep breath: "My lord, if you don't believe me, then please think about the simplest question!"
"What's the problem?"
"You have seen the disadvantages of the peasant and military system, and the others are not all blind! I think that the Prime Minister of the Empire, His Majesty the Emperor today, and the wise man Lord Cavihir next to His Majesty the Emperor, are not uninformed people. Philip said coldly: "Don't they want to dig up this rotten sore?, if the matter is so simple: just abolish the peasant and military system in the administrative regions of the empire, and do not jeopardize the position of the governor of the military district...... Isn't it really harmful?"
Char was speechless.
Is it really harmless? Is it really okay?
I'm afraid that even a three-year-old child understands the xìng quality in it.
Everything is difficult at the beginning! But once everything has a beginning, there will be a follow-up! This is an opening, and once the opening for the abolition of the peasant and military system is opened, what does it mean for the huge warlord henchmen? It means that the royal family has finally opened a knife on them!
That's a "nominal" problem!
Since the peasant and military system can be abolished, then there is a possibility that the military district system can be abolished!
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the warlords to allow the royal family to agree to the abolition of the peasant and military system, even if only in a small remote county!
What if Char is really brutal?
If he really did this and forcibly abolished the peasant and military system in Moor, then the emperor of Dìdū must have woken up laughing from sleep, and he must have loved this turtle who helped him take the lead in his heart.
But then, Char will definitely become the public enemy of the warlord's henchmen! In the past, he was quite unpopular with the military department, but he only looked at him unpleasantly, and occasionally gave him a small shoe to wear. But if he dares to defy the world and abolish the peasant and military system, it will be tantamount to digging up the roots of the warlords' henchmen!
From now on, Char will be an enemy of life and death in the eyes of the warlord henchmen of the 54 Tema Military Region of the empire who have hundreds of thousands of soldiers!
Even, if Char really did this, perhaps the emperor would not be grateful to him, but would think that he had stabbed himself in a hornet's nest! Once a strong counterattack by the warlord party was provoked, it might trigger a rebellion! This is definitely not an impossible thing!
Char pondered for a while, and Dora's cold voice came from his head: "This guy is right, you turtle boy, you should also use your brain more!"
"So what should I do. Char frowned: "I thought it was a beauty difference, but before I took office, I found that there were thousands of mouths waiting to be fed here, and I didn't want to lose my net worth." ”
He didn't ask Philip what he said, but subconsciously asked Dora in his mind, and after saying it, Char realized that he had made a mistake, Philip saw Char asking, thinking that Char had finally paid attention to his opinion and asked for advice from himself, he hesitated slightly, looked left and right, there was no one in the wilderness, and lowered his voice and said: "My lord, since it can't be abolished...... Why not learn what the governors of those military districts do? ”
※※※※ This is a complete heart-wrenching speech!
When Philip said this, although his face was calm, but cold sweat was dripping from his back, he was taking a risk, that is, to win Char's attention to himself! Since he had already made up his mind to take refuge in Char's protective umbrella, he was a wasted person, and his martial arts were naturally of little value, so the only thing he could still do was the knowledge and experience he had accumulated as the head of the Silver Python Warrior Regiment for many years, as well as a cunning mind.
Learn from the Governor of the Military Region, learn from those warlord parties, and this is a blatant attempt to sow discord between Char and the royal family!
When he said this, Philip was also short of breath, for fear that in the next moment, the old man in front of him suddenly pulled out his sword and shouted: "I am a loyal minister of the empire, you dare to provoke my loyalty to the empire!" and then slashed himself under the sword with a sword...... If someone else changed, he didn't dare to say such a thing when he killed Philip, but he secretly observed along the way, and it seemed that he ...... This Char-sama doesn't seem to have much respect and loyalty to the empire.
Philip: This is a bet!
If he wins the bet, Char will look at himself differently in the future, at least as if he were half of his own.
If you lose your bet...... Hmph, if you are a crippled person, what else can you not afford to lose!
