Chapter 42 Iron must be hardened by itself
The clouds are thick, and the winter morning is like night.
Cushman & Wakefield announced:
"Langya King Gao Yan led the troops to rebel, this crime is not forgiven, but the Queen Mother pleaded, Langya King Gao Yan deprived the prince, demoted to a concubine, and banned Langya Wangfu for life, without an edict, he was not allowed to go out without an edict, let alone meet outsiders in private, and if he violated the order, he was immediately executed."
"Thinking of the New Year's Festival, it is not advisable to kill too much, from the high to the rebels, the colonel and above, all beheaded, the male in the clan is more than twelve years old, the rest of the family is degraded as slaves, sergeants in the army, those who are not involved in this matter can be pardoned, and those who rebel with the same official are beheaded!"
Everyone was moved, not because the punishment was too severe, on the contrary, the punishment was too light.
According to the convention, the lightest rebellion is to raze the three clans, and the highest can destroy the nine clans, and today's rebellion formation, the Northern Qi Dynasty has never had it before, whether it is a civil official or a martial artist, he has been ready for the emperor to liquidate the bloodshed, but I didn't expect that the emperor's solution is to only investigate the first evil, and the rest of the people are degraded as slaves, that's all.
The kings were also dumbfounded, even if they were just outsiders, but they had personally experienced the whole process of rebellion and then suppression, and their hearts were pounding! They obviously found that the emperor was extremely angry, and the fact that he killed 4,000 people in front of the Taiji Hall was proof of this, but now why did they let it go gently, not only the king of Langya could live, but even the lords did not harm their families, which is really incomprehensible.
can't help but make people wonder, is this emperor still a child of the old Gao family?
However, it is a good thing for everyone that the emperor kills less.
On the side of the lords, the atmosphere that had been silent began to come alive.
Obviously, it was touched by Cushman & Wakefield's will, and it seems that the emperor had no intention of pursuing the implication.
This made them feel a little more comfortable, they originally thought that the emperor would definitely take this opportunity to wipe out the Xunchen group, but it turned out to be like this.
It seems that the emperor's heart is still more or less biased towards them.
Either way, it moved them to tears.
However, the facts show that they really think too much, because then Cushman and Wakefield issued another edict:
"After reflection, there are two reasons for today's disaster, one is that King Langya has been planning for a long time, forming a party for personal gain, and arson is a disaster."
"Second, the lords raised their own troops and ignored the laws of the imperial court. I have decided that from now on, the garrisons in all parts of the country will be changed every two years, and generals above the sixth rank shall not lead an army alone for more than six years, and shall not lead this army again after six years. ”
There was an uproar.
Gao Wei continued: "The duke of the duke shall not raise more than 100 private soldiers, and the private soldiers below the duke shall not exceed 50 in the family. The dismissed private soldiers are sent to the patrol battalion, which is uniformly dispatched. ”
"Your Majesty, dare to ask the first one, what do you mean?" Tang Yong was a little confused.
Gao Wei glanced at him, "I take the King of Lanling as an example, the King of Lanling is stationed in the northern camp, with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and he will soon change his guard and be transferred from Yecheng to Luoyang, Shuozhou, or Jinyang. ”
"On the contrary, one of the defenders he transferred was transferred to Yecheng, and the Beida Battalion was transferred, and the second year was the transfer of the West Battalion, and in another year, the army of the Beida Battalion was transferred again, and teams from other places were drawn to replace the Beida Battalion that was transferred."
"After a year, it will be changed again, the location is not fixed, and it can be changed on the territory of Daqi."
"After the king of Lanling has been in charge of the Beida camp for six years, this army will be distributed by the Privy Council, reorganized into an army, transferred to various states, and the Privy Council will draw an army from it to the king of Lanling, in this way, do you understand?"
Although Tang Yong is a scholar, he also knows soldiers, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood what Gao Wei meant, and he found that this was really a good idea.
Not only can it prevent the authority of the commander-in-chief from being too great and erase the private imprint in the army, but it can also play a role in training troops, which is simply watertight.
It's just that......
Tang Yong frowned, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, although this strategy is good, but it is really difficult to dispatch the soldiers and horses from all over the country, first, the uneven distribution of soldiers and horses, most of the soldiers and horses of my dynasty are gathered in Jinyang and Luoyang, if according to this scheduling, there will inevitably be no troops in some places, so that the soldiers and horses on the Jinyang side cannot be mobilized from other states and counties, and if Jinyang is insufficient, I am afraid that the Northern Zhou will attack." Second, the scope of the troop transfer mentioned by His Majesty is too large, and if the distance is too far, it will also cause the city to be left without troops to defend in a short period of time, so we must not worry about it......"
Gao Wei's eyes were bright, this Tang Yong was really a ghost, he understood what Gao Wei said at once, and drew inferences from one another, these Gao Wei had also imagined, and now he has the answer, he originally wanted to explain it to the Privy Council later, but he still wanted to hear what Tang Yong said.
"So, according to Aiqing, how should this soldier and horse complete the change of defense?"
Tang Yong pondered for a moment, and said: "The minister thinks that the exchange of soldiers and horses is feasible, but it is necessary to distinguish and exchange, the military town is transferred with another neighboring military town, and other states and counties are exchanged with another neighboring state and county, and it is divided into periods, the minister thinks that the exchange of two years is too hasty, and the cost is not small, it is better to extend some time, the military town is transferred every three years, and other states and counties are exchanged every six years, or it may work." ”
This Hu Luxian was not willing to be lonely, and said: "The minister thinks this plan is very good, but there is another point, the soldiers and horses from all over the country can not be transferred too much, according to the proportion, in batches, a batch of a year, taking Jinyang as an example, Jinyang has more than 200,000 troops in our dynasty, we divide the Jinyang army into three batches to change the defense, and then divide this batch into multiple batches, disperse and change the defense to other military towns, and then transfer troops and horses to change the defense according to the right proportion, and uniformly transfer to Jinyang. However, as Tang Shangshu said, we should pay attention to regionality, and if the distance is too far, it is not appropriate to change guards with each other. According to this assumption, the soldiers and horses of other surrounding states and counties can still be transferred to the important town, and the important town will not have to worry about the situation of reducing the number of troops and facing the situation of no troops to adjust......"
The color of appreciation in Cushman Wakefield's heart was almost uncontrollable. I couldn't help but praise it: "This is a great goodness! ”
"According to the performance of the two Aiqing, after the two of them go back, they will consider it again and jointly draft a specific charter for me."
Gao Wei looked at Tang Yong again and said, "Yi Zhen thinks that Tang Qing's talent in governing the army is more outstanding than that in governing politics, is Aiqing willing to jump to the Privy Council to be a deputy privy?" ”
"......" Tang Yong barely understood that Gao Wei asked him to be the deputy privy secretary, but what the hell is changing jobs?
"Oh, changing jobs, it's a different department, how about it, Aiqing is willing to be a deputy privy secretary?"
Tang Yong thanked him happily and said, "I want to do what I want." ”
Not only the nobles, but the kings looked at each other, this plan was not only for the nobles, but they also faintly smelled some other smells......
The army has changed its defense, and it is the national army's change of defense, doesn't that mean that their fiefdom will also face the transfer of troops?
Most of them have their own fiefs and armies, although the territory is not large, the army is not much, but they are also the emperor of one side, and the military and political power is grasped, and they are also the masters of their own acres and thirds of land.
Once the army changes guards, the former troops are no longer under their control, and whether the new arrivals are willing to listen to them is another matter.
Isn't there a force in his fiefdom that disobeys them?
What does Your Majesty mean by this?
Could it be that you want to cut the domain?
They muttered in their hearts.
If they had been against it in the past, they would have tried to protect their power, but there were too many things happening today, and the impact was too great, Your Majesty had just suppressed a rebellion, and now they are angry.
They looked at each other, hoping that someone would stand up and oppose it first, but after waiting for a long time, there was no ......
Gao Wei looked at Zhao Yanshen again and asked, "How did I handle the things I explained last month?" ”
Zhao Yanshen came out of the queue and replied solemnly: "Your Majesty, all the money, food and materials have been raised. We have already allocated a group of people last month to disperse the victims, and then we can start the next step......"
Gao Wei nodded and said, "Okay, the cabinet must keep an eye on this matter." This is very important for us in Daqi. ”
"Yes."
Gao Wei attaches great importance to this matter, whether the famine caused by drought and waterlogging can be completely solved within this year, which determines whether the Northern Qi can recover its vitality and wholeheartedly attack the Northern Zhou and Southern Chen.
If there is a problem within the state apparatus, no matter how strong the destructive power is, it is useless. Because it can stop turning far at any time due to insufficient energy supply.
He wants to make up for the inherent shortcomings of Northern Qi as soon as possible!
The Northern Zhou Dynasty took Bashu, and there was no need to worry about the grain and grass. And what about them Northern Qi? In this regard, it is far inferior to the Northern Zhou. This is the main thing.
The army of the Northern Qi Dynasty is very capable of fighting, but every time it is limited by grain and grass and cannot further expand the results, which is very helpless, but it is the reality of the Northern Qi Dynasty today.
Now Gao Wei has to slowly replenish the nutrition and piece together the flesh and blood for the hungry and weak giant of Northern Qi.
Expecting the traverser to reverse a country's long-accumulated decline with a shock is a complete fool's dream!
Fortunately, he still has time......
