Long Xiaotian praised Yunxiao, and all the officials nodded, even if Wan An was a mediocre person at this time, he felt that Yunxiao had a little sense. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info praised by everyone, but Long Feiyu saw that Yunxiao was in the limelight here, and he was jealous and hateful in private!

"What you said about the combination of grace and power is true. Then how to use the combination of kings and tyrants you just said?" asked Wynne.

Yunxiao said: "It's easy to use both external grace and power, but the difficult thing is to use both internal kings and tyrants!"

Zhou Hongmo asked: "What is the difficulty of using the inner king and tyrant?"

Yunxiao shook his head and sighed: "What I mean is to use both the inner king, to do the royal way to the subjects, to the traitorous ministers and the ministers, so that all the people in the world are rich, and the people's hearts are sacred, so that the traitorous ministers are deposed, and the court is innocent, so that the country is rich and the people are strong, how dare the Tatars come to covet our court." But in the current situation of the imperial court, this move is difficult!"

In fact, everyone knows that the current emperor is obsessed with Buddhism, and the Wanwang Party is powerful and controls the government, so Yunxiao said that it is difficult to do this. All the officials here are also aware of the current situation, and they are only sighing when they hear this!

Chu Haoran bowed his head and said: "What you said is reasonable, and the internal and external propositions are not bad, but if you can't use this king, do you have another way?"

Yunxiao originally felt that he had refuted Wan An impulsively just now, and he was afraid that Chu Haoran would be surprised, but now it seems that not only did he not blame himself, but asked himself for advice, and his respect for Chu Haoran in his heart was deeper.

Yunxiao bowed deeply to Chu Haoran and said, "In my opinion, although the situation in the imperial court cannot be changed, if some new policies can be implemented within the sake of all the adults, so as to enrich the people and strengthen the army, there may be some results in a few years!"

Long Xiaotian was originally the governor of the army, and he held great power, but when he heard that the people were rich and the army was strong, he was immediately interested, and asked urgently: "How to make the people rich and the army strong?"

Yunxiao also admired Long Xiaotian's bold atmosphere, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Before answering this question, I want to ask Master Hou first, why am I not rich in Da Mingmin, and why are the soldiers not strong?"

Long Xiaotian groaned for a moment and sighed: "The people are not rich, firstly, because the traitorous ministers are in power, corrupt officials are rampant, and the people's fat and ointment are seriously looted; second, because the wind and rain are not smooth in recent years, the people's harvest is not good, so that the civilians are displaced and the people are not able to make a living!"

Yunxiao's face was bitter, but he still nodded in agreement.

Long Xiaotian said again: "As for why this soldier is not strong, I know it best in the army. Since the Civil Revolution, our dynasty has declined, and the imperial court has always been guarding against the Mongol invasion, so it has raised a huge number of soldiers, although the annual allocation of military funds is not a small amount, but as far as I know, a lot of money has not been used at all. The cost of distributing to each soldier is also very small, and this money and food are insufficient, so naturally the morale of the army is also unstable!"

He paused and continued: "The training of the soldiers is also much lazier, although I am serious about the training of the army, but the low-level generals under me often do not do their best. With the passage of time, this has created the current situation in which there are many soldiers but they are not proficient, there are many soldiers but they are not brave, and there are many troops but they are not strong! Judging from this, if the Tatars really attack rashly, we will have no chance of winning!"

Many officials who did not know the situation were very anxious when they heard the governor in charge of the army say this, and Zhou Hongmo worried: "Then what should we do? We can't win the battle, so we can't sit still and wait for death!"

Chu Haoran, Long Xiaotian, Huai En and the others were also worried, but Wan An seemed to have nothing to do with him, and there was nothing unusual.

Long Xiaotian said again: "I have also done many ways to do this, but none of them have worked, and I have mentioned this matter to my emperor many times, but ...... Alas......"

He didn't say anything more, just sighed! But even if he didn't say anything, it was already clear to everyone that the emperor was not in charge of anything. Chu Qingyan and Long Feiyu, you look at me, I look at you, and they also looked at each other and shook their heads and sighed lightly.

"So little brother, you already know everything in our army, I want to ask you how to strengthen the army?" Long Xiaotian humbly asked Yunxiao for advice.

Yunxiao did not hide his clumsiness, he said lightly: "The soldiers are fine but not many! My lord, I think that the first step to strengthening the army should be disarmed!"

Long Xiaotianhu said suspiciously: "Oh, disarmament? Is it feasible? Since ancient times, wars have always been fought with a large number of soldiers to deter the enemy! For example, in the Battle of Chibi, Cao's army was only 200,000 but claimed to be 800,000 troops, and before the Battle of Weishui, the Qin army was only a few hundred thousand but claimed to be a million male soldiers.

Yunxiao asked rhetorically: "Then who won and who lost in the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Weishui?"

Before Long Xiaotian could answer, Wan An had already rushed to say: "Of course, the battle of Chibi is Sun Liu Sheng, and the battle of Weishui is of course won by the Eastern Jin Dynasty!"

Yunxiao said: "Yes! But as we all know, the Sun-Liu coalition army is only 50,000, while the Eastern Jin Dynasty army is only 80,000! Therefore, although there are few generals, they are fine, and they can still win in the face of a strong enemy that is several times or even dozens of times stronger than themselves!"

Long Xiaotian shook his head and replied: "I don't dare to agree with this, although these two battles were won by the weak side, the commanders of the weak side are not general, like Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang, Xie An, Xie Xuan, these people are all generals who have not met in a century. What's more, Sun Liu and the Eastern Jin Dynasty did not have so many generals available at that time, not that no one did not. The other is the Battle of Chibi, when Cao's army was not accustomed to water warfare, and before the Battle of Weishui, Qin Fujian committed a single cavalry and advanced lightly, and rashly went deep alone. Improper employment of personnel leads to the leakage of secrets. The commander underestimated the enemy and feared the enemy, and fled from the battle, causing the army to lose its command.

Long Xiaotian is worthy of being a generation of famous generals, and he has studied the reasons for the success or failure of ancient wars, and Yunxiao admires it very much, but he still insists on his own point of view, and said: "What you said is indeed so, there are many factors for the success and failure of a thing, such as the right time, place, and people. But in order to succeed in one thing, I think one thing must be possessed, and that is to adapt to the situation. In today's situation, a strong army must first be disarmed, and there is a reason for this, and listen to me!"

Yunxiao paused, and said: "Since ancient times, all kinds of battles, the side that can win, especially the example of winning more with less, why can the soldiers be one when they are ten and one hundred, in addition to morale, there is no doubt that the soldiers will be fine. The essence of the soldier lies in two points, one is the essence of the soldier's martial arts, and the other is the essence of the soldier's equipment. The essence of martial arts can be cultivated through strict and correct training, and the essence of equipment can be built from reliable and sophisticated. ”

Yunxiao looked at Long Xiaotian, who was listening with relish, and said: "As you said just now, the key to the soldier's reluctance to train with all his heart is the issue of military salary, and it takes a lot of military spending to build excellent equipment. If disarmament reduces the number of troops, then a huge amount of military spending will be saved, and they will be put to good use for these two points, and it will not be expected to train our army into a strong army?"

When Long Xiaotian heard this, he suddenly realized, and suddenly thought: "No matter how many troops there are, it is useless without combat effectiveness, but this kid's method is promising." ”

Yunxiao added: "Although it is disarmament, the specific amount of reduction must be analyzed in detail, and it can be kept within a reasonable range, which can ensure that the number of soldiers is reasonable, and at the same time, it can solve the problem of increasing the salary of soldiers and soldiers and the cost of building sophisticated equipment, so that the military can be effective." ”

"Hehe, what the little brother said is very reasonable! It's just that strengthening the army is a matter of national security, so you should be cautious, I will consider your opinions, and you can try it out first after you are enlightened to the Holy Lord. Hahaha!" Long Xiaotian admired this servant boy very much, and his words were full of politeness.

Yunxiao smiled heartily at him and nodded his head to show his appreciation for his appreciation!
