Chapter 41 Military System Reform

"Have they already gone?"

Seeing that he raised his head, Xiao Feng's eyes were full of worry.

Duan Feng closed his head and replied, "That's right. I personally sent them out of Chang'an. And in order to ensure the smooth operation of this operation, they also selected ten people from each of the army as subordinates. Of course, they also have all the weapons they need, enough to deal with ordinary threats. ”

"That's good. ”

Xiao Feng breathed a sigh of relief, Junzhou was involved in the checkpoint within the Song Dynasty, and she didn't want anything to happen, otherwise why would she send all her right-hand men out

"It's just the lord"

The look of wanting to speak again made Xiao Feng frown again.

"Just what"

The puzzled tone made Duan Feng feel nervous, and he took a deep breath before he dared to raise his courage: "Please forgive me, my subordinates think this is too fast."

"It's too fast, why do you think that"

Xiao Feng put down the papers, put his hands on his chest, and just quietly looked at his henchman in front of him.

"Your lord, you also understand that since the beginning of the army, our dynasty has always had the difficulty of shortage of resources. Even after 30 years of development, grain, cloth and porcelain still had to be imported from the Song Dynasty. Many people have also profited greatly from this, and they have occupied high positions in our court. If they object, what and "

"And since we are courtiers of the Song Dynasty, we should naturally focus on the country, if we really raise troops, will we inevitably be criticized as chaotic ministers and thieves?"

Before Duan Feng could finish speaking, Xiao Feng said all his next words.

Hearing this, Duan Feng was immediately dumbfounded, and realized that his lord was not unaware.

Among them, especially Song Xin, Minister of Commerce, and Wang Xuan, a member of the Council Hall, not only frequently contacted those businessmen from Lin'an, but also vigorously promoted the integration strategy, hoping to abolish the checkpoints and promote the harmony between the two dynasties. Right?"

After saying this lightly, Xiao Feng mocked with a face: "It's just that he thinks that no one really knows about the careful thoughts he made?"

Duan Feng's heart was inexplicably tight, and when he remembered the Qingyun Gang before, he immediately became nervous: "Could it be that the lord is you?"

Since the Qingyun Gang incident, he thought that Xiao Feng would take this opportunity to completely purge the officials of the DPRK and China, but he only eliminated some parliamentarians, and there were not many people who were arrested, so it can be said that it was thunder and rain.

At that time, Duan Feng thought that Xiao Feng had changed his sex, and he was not as fierce as usual, but looking at today's appearance, he was afraid that he was just casting a long line to catch a big fish.

"In the past, when I was first established, I had no roots, so I naturally needed the support of the Song Dynasty, which made these people high. But at present, the Song Dynasty has long been decayed, it is completely a broken ship that will sink anytime and anywhere, and it is powerless to resist the Mongol invasion, but they want to continue to stand on it, hehe, do you say that these people are not blind, since they don't want to get off the ship, then when the ship sinks, don't think that I will lend a hand. ”

The words were still so sharp, Xiao Feng didn't hide his thoughts at all.

"It seems that this time, the lord is going to be serious?"

Duan Feng sighed in his heart, and then saw Xiao Feng take a document from the side.

"Of course. The rotten ship also has three-inch nails, and it is impossible to sink so quickly. But I have the patience to keep waiting. Xiao Feng chuckled, beckoned to Duan Feng, and instructed, "It's just that can you help me see this restructuring plan, is there anything else that needs to be added?"

"The lord of the army restructuring, you are"

With just a glance, Duan Feng was already frightened, and his eyes were full of astonishment.

To be honest, it has been thirty years since the Red Phoenix Army rebelled.

Among them, it has also undergone a lot of reforms, from the beginning of the rebel army, to the later Taiyuan reorganization, and even to the reorganization of the army after the Jinghai War, that is, after staying in Chang'an, it has also undergone several reorganizations, so that it has the scale of today's 100,000 regular army and 200,000 auxiliary army.

Duan Feng has experienced these reforms, but compared to the impact on him this time, they are too small.

Xiao Feng laughed and complained: "That's right, it's the army restructuring plan." After all, it's always the Red Phoenix Army and the Red Phoenix Army, and it doesn't sound very formal, so I want to change the name, for example, the name Huaxia Army is very good. Of course, this plan is only the first draft, and there are many places that are not very perfect. If you have any suggestions, you can add them as well."

"My lord, this reform can be, but when the reform is completed, after all, the Song Dynasty is still there, I'm afraid they won't agree. ”

Duan Feng was terrified in his heart, feeling that the Chinese piece in his hand was even hot, and he almost couldn't hold it.

There is no other reason, but it is because the content above is too shocking.

Because the reform proposed by Xiao Feng is not only the reform of the army, but also a comprehensive reform of the entire local government system, removing some institutions that have been determined to be eliminated, and then determining the regulations and bills that have been verified.

In other words, Xiao Feng now intends to sort out the entire Red Feng Army from beginning to end, and then clarify the functions and powers of the entire department.

In more layman's terms, that's statehood.

In this way, for the courtiers of the Song Dynasty, it was a naked provocation, and it was impossible to accept it.

Not to mention anything else, when the party established the country, it also frightened the ministers of the Song Dynasty and directly sent troops to conscript, although they were finally forced to admit it, but the war that lasted for a hundred years also made both sides pay a tragic price.

Duan Feng was really afraid that this situation would repeat again.

Duan Feng thought in his heart: "Sure enough, the lord's idea is not a day or two, it should have been premeditated." Fu persuaded again: "Although this is the case, but the Song Dynasty ministers are still there, if they oppose it, then what should we do?"

"Hmph. You've seen them too, because of these guys, the Northern Expedition that could have thwarted Mongolia in one fell swoop ended in a hurry. What strength do they have to resist" Xiao Feng sneered, and then said: "In my opinion, they will only turn a blind eye to this matter." ”

"That's just as well. ”

Duan Feng also felt that he was too nervous before, thinking that the Song Dynasty was still a huge empire that could confront the Mongols head-on.

But since the Northern Expedition, the entire vast empire has completely exposed its flaws.

The central government fought endlessly, and the local warlords did not rule each other, and they also fought with each other, even if there were hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops, they could not compete with the Mongols, and even because of oppression, local disasters continued.

More than a hundred years later, the ancient empire is decaying, its festering skin covering its body, its vain muscles devouring flesh and blood, its fragile bones struggling to support its massive body, and most importantly, its brain becoming more flawed and unable to make the right decisions.

This state of affairs could no longer sustain the Song Dynasty to continue, and the bureaucratic system that maintained the entire empire began to malfunction frequently, always committing unpardonable sins where it was impossible, and even the people at the bottom of it were complaining and fleeing from it to places where they could live in peace.

Such a country, which has lost its vitality, is doomed to perdition.

Thinking of all this, Duan Feng felt extremely embarrassed.

In the past, the huge and admirable empire is now like an old man, completely looking like the sunset, which makes people feel a lot of emotion.

Xiao Feng said again: "Of course." It's unrealistic to do it now, so I'm going to do it in five years. As for the beginning of everything, it naturally started with the Red Phoenix Army. Of course, it should not continue to be called the Red Phoenix Army now, but the Huaxia Army. ”

"I understand what the lord means, so I'll take it down and take a closer look to see if there's anything wrong with it. ”

Duan Feng listened, and he also felt excited.

Because he understands that the so-called restructuring is clearly the founding of the country, and if he can participate in it, it will be just glory and wealth, and the glory of leaving a name in history is really difficult to give up.

Since Duan Feng left, Xiao Feng's body loosened and allowed his body to sink into the seat.

Dealing with these things was too exhausting, and even though she had the cultivation of an earth immortal, she still felt tired.

"Sister, are you really planning to target the Song Dynasty?"

At this time, Xiao Xing quietly appeared, holding a plan board in his hand, which was full of dishes.

Because of his busy official duties, Xiao Feng often has no concept of time as soon as he gets up at work, and only when others bring the food to him does he realize that it is time to eat.

Xiao Feng looked stunned, and nodded again.

"Yes"

"Really, can't you stop?"

Xiao Xing neatly brought the food off the board and delivered it to Xiao Feng.

When Xiao Feng was about to take the chopsticks and start, the whole person was also stunned, and only then did he shake his head helplessly and complained: "It's really not good." You also know that although the Mongols were defeated by us, they have always been eyeing the enemy, and they have always been preparing for the southern expedition. Of course, this time they will probably learn to be obedient and not attack us. With Taiyuan in our hands, they can't achieve much. So this time, the target could only be the Song Dynasty. With the current situation of the Song Dynasty, do you think you can resist?"

"Can't"

Xiao Xing replied, convinced of this.

Meng Gong, Zhao Kui, and Yu Jie have died, such as Zhao Zengbo, Jiang Wanli, and Li Tingzhi have also been forced to stay away from the imperial court, and famous generals such as Xiang Shibi, Cao Yingxiong, and Gao Da have also died, and the most important thing is that Zhao Yun has also fallen.

When they were still alive, it was still difficult to fight against the Mongols, and when this group of people all died, how could the remaining group of mediocre people resist

"That's right. No, if that's the case, then I should have laid out the layout in advance. Otherwise, if we allow the Mongols to annex the Song Dynasty, then it will be difficult for us to live alone. Don't forget about the real threat for the sake of your safety. Do you know?" Xiao Feng warned.

If it were someone else, they could still be fascinated by the prosperity in front of them, but for Xiao Feng, they were walking on thin ice and trembling, for fear that one of their mistakes would lead to irreparable mistakes.

"Alas"

With a long sigh, Xiao Xing noticed that Xiao Feng's sideburns had turned white, and the passage of time was difficult to resist after all, and even Xiao Feng's body was also engraved with traces called old age.

"In that case, you should pay more attention to your physical condition, shouldn't you?"

Pushing the hot meal in front of Xiao Feng, Xiao Xing smiled at the corner of his mouth, since he didn't understand these things, then don't meddle in them, and give real trust to the person in front of him.

This is the only thing she can do.
