Seeing that everyone was excited about the new artifacts and the new army, I smiled slightly, cleared my throat, and everyone suddenly fell silent.

"I have one more matter, you will listen quietly."

"Zhang Han, you will tell the generals about the supervision of the army."

Zhang Han got up and said, "Obey." ”

Later, the role of the overseer and the way of stationing were given to everyone in the temple.

Listening and listening, the smiles on everyone's faces gradually converged.

By the time Zhang Han finished speaking, the hall was already full of needle drops.

I was not in a hurry to speak, this matter needs to be digested by them, after all, even in the armies of later generations, this kind of prison army is not easy to accept by military commanders and ordinary soldiers.

After being silent for a long time, Ying Yan took the lead in getting up and said, "The minister agrees with His Majesty to set up a prison in the camp. ”

I nodded, Ying Yan is a member of the Ying clan, and it is impossible for him to oppose me.

"Okay, sit down."

Nei Shi Han glanced at Ying, and the second one got up and said, "The minister also agrees with His Majesty's position of supervising the army in the camp. ”

Now it's my turn to be curious.

"Oh? General Neshi said why he agreed? ”

Nei Shi Han bowed his hand and said, "The minister has been in the Bashu camp for a long time. Since the land of Bashu returned to Qin, except for a few rebellions, almost no rebels have appeared, and rebellions outside Bashu rarely mobilize the soldiers of the Bashu battalion. This led to the fact that the soldiers in Shu would not fight again, and they were often slack. ”

"In the long run, the Qin army of the Bashu battalion may have become a weak army that is sluggish and timid, and the minister has been worrying about how to change this situation. I just heard what the Lord Protector said, this prison army can play a morale-boosting role. This is why the minister approved of His Majesty's establishment of a prison army. ”

I smiled and nodded: "Yes, the prison army has been in the army for a long time, and it will become the spiritual pillar of this army, which is also the most important role of me in setting up the prison army." The defeat of the army is not terrible, but the terrible thing is that it will be defeated as soon as it is defeated. With the presence of the prison army, even if the battle is lost, the prison army can quickly rekindle the morale of the army. This was the most important thing for the Qin army. ”

After Neishi Han sat down, Sun Wuhe immediately got up and said, "The minister also agrees with Your Majesty, and the reason is different from that of General Neishi. ”

"And tell me why?" I'm interested.

I didn't expect three of the five generals to agree, which is not quite what I imagined, and I thought they would all oppose it.

Sun Wuhe continued: "The army of Guanzhong often needed to go to various places to fight before. Not to mention, in last year's Surabaya rebellion, the Chaoyi battalion sent 30,000 troops to quell the rebellion. You must know that among the rebels, there are many armed with farm tools and even unarmed leaders. ”

"Let the well-equipped Qin army fight against such a rebel army, and it is inevitable that some soldiers will show sympathy, which will lead to an unfavorable war. But a rebel is a rebel, and from the position of a soldier, it should be his duty to defeat the enemy. However, the minister's energy is limited, and he cannot give orders to every soldier. The minister thought that the prison army could play such a role, so he agreed with His Majesty. ”

"Good!" It seems that it is not unreasonable for Sun Wuhe to be the chief general of the Guanzhong army, and he looks at the problem from the perspective of a general. Fortunately, I went to the Chaoyi camp last time to warn Zhang Han, and now the relationship between the two is much better.

"What General Sun said is very reasonable, the enemy is the enemy, as long as he picks up his arms and stands on the opposite side of Great Qin, he should go forward and defeat them. Very good! ”

Sun Wuhe bowed deeply: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

The internal army has expressed its position, and I looked at the two border army generals, but still did not take the initiative to ask questions.

Meng Tian pondered for a long time, got up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Your Majesty to set up a prison army. However, the minister has a question, and I hope His Majesty will make it clear. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to talk about it." I looked at Meng Tiandao.

Meng Tian continued: "The minister just heard what the guards said that once this prison army enters the army, they are not allowed to leave the camp without an edict. However, if there is a problem with the prison army, who should supervise it? Doesn't it mean that once the prison is appointed, there is no worry about losing office? In this way, the minister was worried that the superintendent army would be slack, or that he would do evil in the army, and the lord would not be able to check and balance. ”

I waved my hand and said, "General Meng's concern is not unreasonable. However, I have ordered the Protector Commander to set up a separate Qin Army Inspectorate. The supervising army is not subject to the supervision and assessment of the imperial history, but is supervised by the Qin military supervision envoy. ”

"The role of the inspector includes not only supervising the supervising army, but also supervising all the officers and men of the Qin army. The status of soldiers is special, different from ordinary people, if they violate the law, whether it is the "Qin Military Law" or other laws, they will be dealt with by the Qin Army Supervision Envoy in accordance with the law. ”

To put it bluntly, it's a military court!

Meng Tian arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty is thoughtful, and the minister is undoubtedly thoughtful!" ”

There was only one person left, and I looked at Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo was entangled in heaven and man at this time.

'I led the army of Baiyue, and except for the edicts that were not issued a few times a year, basically no one could control me. Although the imperial history sent by the imperial court to Lingnan was changed at least once every three years because of the long distance, they basically returned home without knowing the situation. ’

'Now that the prison army has been staying in the army without receiving His Majesty's edict, is this not a nail in my heart?' But if you don't agree, the other four people agree, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get out of Xianyang Palace. Alas, what a good way to be! ’

I smiled slightly, the army of the five battalions of Great Qin, which belonged to Zhao Tuo's Baiyue army, was the most out of my control, and I naturally knew what he was thinking.

"General Zhao, in fact, this prison army is mainly set up for you!"

Zhao Tuo looked up in amazement, is His Majesty targeting the ground so obvious? Even if I'm the most uneasy for you, I won't say it directly.

"Your Majesty forgives your sins, the minister is stupid, what does Your Majesty mean?"

I spoke slowly and said, "There are three reasons. ”

"First, at present, the army of Baiyue has really become a half-peasant and half-army army of Tunbian. In this case, if the soldiers only want to be comfortable, how can they march south again? If the soldiers attach too much importance to their own identity, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no bullying of the leader. The supervision of the army in charge of military life can play a role in balancing the two; ”

"Second, although the supervising army does not directly obey the orders of the commander-in-chief, it obeys the orders of a battalion supervising the army. As a commander-in-chief, you should be confident that the first battalion of overseers will be on your side, right? If your lieutenants and the like deceive you, the overseers can report to a battalion of overseers, and a battalion of overseers will report to you, so that you can control the army; ”

"Third, my plan for the land of Baiyue is not just about that place, I will be of great use in the future, but now there are more things, and I can't take care of it for the time being, but I think about it soon. At that time, having the prison army to help you will be of great benefit to you and the court. ”

"With these three, isn't it tailored for you?"

Zhao Tuo thought about it, and it seemed to make some sense.

In my heart, I secretly said: 'Your Majesty can explain so much for me, and it seems that it is indeed more beneficial to me, if you don't say anything again......

Hurriedly got up and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for solving the minister's doubts, and the minister also agrees!" ”

I got up and picked up the wine glass, and said with a smile: "You can understand my heart, and I am very comforted, drink this cup together!" ”

Li Si and Feng Zheng were also relieved to see that they were safe, if His Majesty really pinched these lords, the consequences would be unimaginable......

Then I handed over the follow-up handling of things such as iron knives, spirits, and the prison army to Zhang Han, and asked Zhang Han to discuss the specific details with them. Not only the weapons, but also the number of the prison army cannot satisfy all the Qin troops at one time, there must be a priority.

After this matter was resolved, I began to concentrate on the matter of the Hexi Corridor and the Silk Road, and trade with the Western Regions was too important to Great Qin.
