Chapter 149: Digging a Pit

"Your Highness is extremely worried, and it is extremely risky to rush into reorganization, so this matter can only be put aside for the time being, and it will be done again in the future." Ying Jie listened to Zhao Hao's explanation, and his mood was quite heavy, but he also understood that things were not in a hurry. The things they faced were encountered by the two emperors Taizu and Gaozong back then, and it took a lot of energy and years of effort to complete the reorganization of the army, take back the military power, and rebuild the forbidden army.

"Just give up so easily? If the forces of all parties are allowed to sit on the throne, it will be more difficult to solve it in the coming day, and if it is not done well, there will be endless disasters. Deng Guangjian didn't want to give up his opinion, so he stood up and said.

"Zhongfu, it's not that you don't do it, but the time has not come, and if you act rashly, you will only destroy the Great Wall, and if you miss the society, we will be sinners for the ages!" Ying Jieyan asked him to sit down and said solemnly. He knew what Deng Guang meant, which was to prevent the generals of various armies from using their personal connections to attract their subordinates to gather strength, only knowing the chief officials, not the imperial court, and once they were dissatisfied, they would start a rebellion and coerce the emperor.

"Then there is no solution to this matter?" Deng Guangjian sat down and sighed after hearing this. Knowing that there are endless troubles in this way, and he can't change it, but he is full of economy but helpless, which makes him unwilling and feels powerless.

"If there is a good strategy, why take the risk, now we can only wait and see what happens, but if there is a sign, it will be suppressed as soon as possible!" Ying Jie Yan couldn't think of a good way for a while, and all he could do was to wait passively.

"I have a plan, but it needs to be honest and fair, and the actions of iron-faced and selfless people can be effective!" Zhao Yu, who was listening to the two arguing on the side, suddenly said leisurely.

"Oh, Your Highness, speak quickly!" Deng Guangjian listened to it and said urgently.

"......" should be strict but not in a hurry. He knew that His Highness loved to pretend and like to clench his fists to make people guess, but whoever guessed was unlucky. You are a lesson from the past. When he was in Jiazi Town, he was curious, and he wanted to know what His Highness wanted, and he couldn't get out of the trap after being introduced into the trap step by step. In the year of the sixtieth year, he followed him to this wild place to suffer, so he didn't rush to inquire, but wanted to find out first.

"Soldiers are afraid of officers, and officers and soldiers are afraid of the law!" Zhao Yu said word by word.

"Your Highness, what do you mean?" Ying Jieyan seemed to be a little inappropriate when he heard this, and asked.

The implication is that a good soldier should be much more afraid of his commander than he is of the enemy. And the officers and soldiers feared the law more than life and death. Zhao Yu said, and then made a brief explanation, that is, to improve the rules and regulations and reward regulations, and these not only involve the matter of battle, but also go deep into the daily activities, so that every move of the officers and soldiers is restricted. Of course, there are rules that must be strictly enforced, and eventually the mandatory implementation becomes habitual observance.

"His Royal Highness's intention is to follow Yue Wumu's method of training soldiers, so that the soldiers are afraid of the law like tigers, and they dare not commit it even if they die!" Deng Guangjian's eyes lit up and said.

"Not bad. That's exactly what it means! Zhao Yu nodded. In fact, it is not only Yue Fei who is like this, but also the training of famous generals in the past dynasties.

However, what he admired most was Zeng Guofan, who was just a man of letters, and in the troubled times of the late Qing Dynasty, he governed the Hunan army into a very effective army. And the method is very simple, he thinks that the peasants come out to fight the war is nothing more than to be promoted to become rich, and to those who want to be officials: to fight small victories and become petty officials, and to win big battles and become big officials; For those who want to get rich: make a small fortune by winning a small battle, and make a big fortune by winning a big battle. Linking the victory or defeat of a war with the promotion and wealth of a soldier. This injects vitality and vitality into this army.

Zeng Guofan's concept of governing the army is also because he has thoroughly understood what the ancients often said: 'Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men; Reward and punishment are clear. The true meaning of the phrase'. It's just that these words are too white, Zhao Yu didn't dare to say it explicitly, otherwise he would inevitably be reprimanded again, and he could only borrow the most famous aphorism in the ancient Roman army, 'A good soldier should be far more afraid of his commander than he is afraid of the enemy', but this also shows that strict military discipline in both China and the West is the only way to improve combat effectiveness, and it is impossible for these two great Confucians in front of me not to understand.

"Your Highness's meaning is to govern the army according to law. So that the whole army acts according to the law, so that those who want to cause chaos do not dare to act because they are afraid of the law, and those who follow do not dare to follow. That's a good idea! Ying Jieyan nodded and said, agreeing with what His Highness said.

And he also has a deeper understanding of His Highness's methods, and he secretly has the Office in his hands as his eyes and ears. If there is a police officer in the army, it will be detected early; Ming's pro-guards, although their number is small, but they are the elite of the Marshal's Army, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, and Ni Liang is loyal to His Highness, no matter who wants to be unfavorable to His Highness, he will suppress it mercilessly. Now His Highness has formed a new army to prepare for a decisive battle at sea to defend against the enemy, and after careful consideration, it cannot but be said that there is also a sense of contingency.

But even if His Highness was prepared, it was inevitable that there would be an eventuality, but he still attached importance to the overall situation of resisting the enemy, and still did not rashly reorganize the armies to maintain his combat effectiveness. At the same time, we should find another way to solve the problem, and strict military discipline can be said to be the best choice at present, and it is also a way that can be accepted by all parties. It's just that this errand is the most offensive, and no one wants to take it.

"Alas, but it's easier said than done. The executor must not only understand the righteousness and not be afraid of the powerful, but also have the skill to govern the army with iron and blood, and the government is afraid that it will be difficult to choose such a person. There is a suitable person for the gentleman, and I am willing to hire him at any cost! Zhao Yu looked at Ying Jieyan and asked.

"This ......" Ying Jieyan just wanted to speak, but suddenly saw His Royal Highness secretly glaring at him, the corners of his mouth turned downward, and suddenly he woke up, "The old man also thinks so, the responsibility of purging military discipline is heavy, and it is not for ordinary people, and there is no suitable choice at the moment." However, Zhao Dutong is known for his prestige and does things vigorously and resolutely, so if he presides over this matter for the time being, would it be good? ”

"No, Zhao Du is the head of all armies, and his actions must be biased in favor of his subordinates, and it is difficult to keep justice, so he must not preside over this matter!" Deng Guangjian didn't wait for His Highness to express his position, so he gave it no first.

"Well, Zhongfu's words are also reasonable, Mr. Ruizhou is fair, his official reputation is also good, he has nothing to do with everyone when he just arrived in the house, so there should be no problem for him to preside." Ying Jie Yan pondered for a while, and it seemed that it was inappropriate, and recommended Chen Zeweng.

"No, it is precisely because he has no position in the palace that he will be despised by everyone, and his actions will inevitably be tied, so it will not be a mistake!" Deng Guangjian also immediately vetoed it.

"Is it feasible to transship the river? As His Majesty's personal envoy to Guangnan West Road, and as the palace Yishan, with His Royal Highness and Lord Chaozhongjiang as his master, it will be implemented smoothly. ”

"Jiang Yishan is responsible for the heavy task of raising military funds, how can he be distracted, and besides, there are many old friends in the army with Master Jiang, even if he acts fairly, it will inevitably cause gossip and hurt His Highness's face." Deng Guangjian still shook his head and said...... (To be continued.) )
