Chapter 15 The blood stains in front of the Xuanwu Gate have not dried (add one more for the alliance leader)

As soon as Wei Chigong's words fell, Chen Ying was dressed in civilian clothes and slowly needed to enter. This reform of Fang Xuanling's policy has touched the interests of too many people, and the first is the military.

Li Jiancheng's core descendants are quite large, and the 150,000 troops of the 12th Guard Army in Guanzhong account for only one-fifth.

Now all the guards and armies are watching, counting on the old department of the East Palace to jump out and Li Jiancheng sing against the stage.

In fact, Chen Ying very much agreed with the reform of the rule of officials, because in the early days of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, including Li Xiuning, and Li Yuan all had the power to appoint officials, so some prefectures and counties did not have chief officials, while some prefectures and counties mostly had two or even three sets of administrative teams.

In the past, when Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were in the same situation, the officials appointed by the Qin Palace, and the officials appointed by the East Palace were all-for-tat and did not give in to each other. Now that Li Jiancheng has ascended the throne and Li Shimin has fled, although the East Palace and the Qin Palace's palace are no longer fighting, the officials appointed by Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and the officials appointed by Li Yuan still exist.

The factional struggle has only shifted from the bright side to the dark place, and not only has it not been eliminated, but it has intensified.

According to the past practice, when the autumn was crisp and the weeds were golden, it was the time for the Turks to use troops, and now the information from all sides shows that the Andong Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo, Buyeo, Silla, Baekje, Xi and Khitan are all ready to move.

A large number of Lites, Great Qin people (i.e., the Byzantine Empire), Greeks, and Great Cannibals were also found in the Anxi Imperial Palace. Jiannandao also found that the Tubo, Baiyue, Difang, Nanban and other tribes were abnormally mobilized, and they were building weapons and stockpiling food.

Although Li Shimin failed, in history, Jieli Khan led 200,000 cavalry to attack Guanzhong and the soldiers came to the city of Chang'an, Chen Ying did not dare to forget.

However, as a commander who has led the army for many years. Chen Ying knew very well that the more troops the better, the more troops meant that the logistics pressure was extremely great, 100,000 stone would need to eat a full 300 stone of grain a day, plus the mules and horses in the 100,000 army, this number would exceed 1,000 stones.

There are still many roads in Datang that are impassable for four-wheeled carriages, and transportation still relies on such two-wheeled carriages, which means that more than 200 vehicles are needed for one day of grain consumption, and more than 20,000 vehicles are needed for one hundred days.

At this time, Chen Ying was happy to see the dismissal of the old and weak, the selection of elite soldiers, the strengthening of training, and the creation of elites, but he was only too sensitive to ask this question before.

Now that Fang Xuanling proposed to lay off the soldiers, Chen Ying was very happy.

Of course, willing to be willing, but the dissatisfaction in the army also needs to be appeased. After all, some of these soldiers have been working for Datang since the first year of Wude, and they are covered with bruises, and they will definitely have complaints if they leave the army because of physical problems.

Seeing Chen Ying's arrival, Wei Chigong, Feng Li, Wei Wenzhong, Xue Wanche and others hurriedly greeted him and said, "General Chen, you came just in time, look at Fang Xuanling, the remnant of the Qin Palace, what bad idea did he give His Majesty!" ”

Chen Ying walked to the back of the main case, sat down slowly, and said slowly: "This copy, General Ben has already read it, and General Ben thinks it is feasible!" ”

When Xue Wanche heard this, he said even more anxiously: "General, you must not be bewitched by Fang Xuanling, a thief......

Chen Ying didn't explain, looked at Ashina Simo outside and said, "Drum and gather generals!" ”

Ashina Simo nodded: "Obey!" ”

With Chen Ying's order, the twelve guards beat the drums one after another.

Suddenly, the entire Chang'an drum sounded and was murderous.

Chen Ying then issued a second military order: "This hussar general order, all guards, all armies, all armed, go to Longshouyuan!" ”

With that, Chen Ying got up and walked towards the dragon head with his personal guards.

Wei Chigong, Xue Wanche, Wei Wenzhong, Feng Li and other generals had no choice but to follow Chen Ying to Longshouyuan.

The so-called Longshou Yuan is actually Longshou Mountain. It is also the dividing line between Chang'an in the Han Dynasty and Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty. The Han Dynasty Chang'an City was in the area north of Longshou Mountain, while the Tang Dynasty Chang'an City was in the area south of Longshou Mountain.

However, Chang'an City is Taiji Palace. Naturally, ordinary troops are not allowed to cross, and the troops in Chang'an City, if they want to reach Longshouyuan, must pass through the city along Anhua Gate, Xuancheng Gate, Qingming Gate, Bacheng Gate or Zhicheng Gate.

Chen Ying had made calculations, arriving at Longshouyuan from the city gates, the nearest was to garrison the Zuowu Houwei Mansion near the Zhicheng Gate, and their distance was the shortest, about twenty-five miles. The farthest is the left and right guards, because they are directly stationed in the south palace of Taiji Palace, separated by a wall from the south ya, but they cannot directly pass through the palace and pass through the Luocheng Gate, so they must go out of the Cheng'an Gate Palace, and then arrive at the Qingming Gate along the Fang Road, bypass Chang'an City, and arrive at Longshou Mountain.

The distance between the left and right armies is the farthest, and it takes about sixty miles to complete the journey.

Chen Ying and his cavalry went to Longshou Plain, the speed was faster, and about two quarters of an hour, everyone arrived at the assembled Longshou Mountain wasteland.

Chen Ying's personal guards began to arrange the camp of the Chinese army, as well as the point general's platform.

It was still early, and the troops had not yet arrived.

Chen Ying drank tea leisurely.

Feng Li frowned and said, "General, this is not fair!" ”

Chen Ying said coldly: "Will our enemies tell us where they are attacking from?" ”

"This ......"

Feng Li was speechless.

Chen Ying's voice suddenly raised an octave, and he looked at the generals and said: "The enemy will not tell us where they are attacking from, nor will they tell them where their virtual troops are, where is their key breakthrough, no matter whether they attack or defend, we must strike first, and then strike at others, let me see now, what is the quality of the troops you are reluctant to dismantle." ”

It's not long, about half an hour. The ten training mansions of Wuhou Wei on the left and right all arrived in Longshouyuan.

The left and right guards who arrived at Longshouyuan consciously lined up in a huge phalanx of fifty by three hundred, with a strict array, spears like a forest, and horizontal knives like walls.

This is the army that Chen Ying has fed with strict military discipline, cruel training, and generous treatment since he took over the left and right military guards! They may not be able to defeat an enemy who is too strong, but they will not be afraid of any enemy!

As the saying goes, there is no harm if there is no comparison, after waiting for a full quarter of an hour, the Zuo Xiaowei army began to arrive in Longshouyuan, but at this time, the Zuo Xiaowei army was not only scattered, but also almost all the soldiers were disheveled.

The equipment of the Tang Dynasty army was superb-class at this time, they were equipped with the best steel armor and used the best equipment, but the weight was not light. For example, the armor of the spearmen was about eighteen pounds, their bags were about fourteen pounds, and with the blades and water bottles, each of them carried nearly fifty pounds.

Thanks to the good physique of the soldiers at this time, otherwise I am afraid that the team will be miserable.

When the sun was setting, the army of the Twelve Guards finally arrived at Longshouyuan. But looking at the elite army of the Twelve Guards who were loose and collapsed in Longshouyuan, Xue Wanche let out a helpless cry in his heart: "How is this possible? ”

Xue Wanche was born in Jiangmen, and his father was Xue Shixiong, the former general of the Sui Left Imperial Guard, and Zhuojun stayed behind. At the age of seventeen, he led the army with his father, and he thought that his understanding of military affairs was very difficult.

The Twelve Wei Army was the elite of the Tang Dynasty, even much more elite than the Jingzhou Army he led before. However, the farthest distance of this temporary training is only 60 miles. I ran for a whole day. Even if the training of the Jingzhou army is not as good as that of the 12 guards, it is not particularly difficult to force 500 miles in three days

However, with such a low-intensity march, nearly one-third of the Twelve Guards Army was on the verge of collapse.

Xue Wanche never refused to admit that the Twelve Guards Army would be so weak, but the facts were in front of him.

The best performance was precisely the left and right guard army with the farthest marching distance, their marching distance was nearly sixty miles, and they all rushed to Longshouyuan in two hours. Although they looked tired, judging from the formation, this team of people showed no signs of collapse, but showed a firmer will.

"How is this possible?" Wei Chigong was also silent, since he defected to the Tang Dynasty, he was not staying in the East Palace Zuo Yurate, but following Li Shimin's Xuanjia Army, what he saw were the few elites in the Tang Dynasty, and he saw Xue Wanche's solemn expression, which can also be said to be ugly.

There are those who lose their armor and abandon their armor, there are those who are out of breath, there are soldiers who run in the wrong direction and run into other armies, and the most outrageous is a Zhichong Mansion of the Right Xiaowei, and I don't know what the leader of the army thinks about it, and he actually brought the troops to Qujiangyuan and came to a different place.

If this is not practiced, if it is a war, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Wei Chigong's face became very ugly at this time.

Chen Ying had already been mentally prepared for the performance of the Twelve Guards Army. After all, man is a lazy animal, and once life is too comfortable, he will lose his enterprising spirit.

For example, Lao Cheng was sedentary for a long time, and his weight increased by 100 pounds in just five years.

Chen Ying looked at the soldiers and said with an indignant face: "You can see clearly, this is the most elite Twelve Guards army in the Tang Dynasty, the absolute strength of Gongwei Pass, you say, can you still fight?" ”

Hearing Chen Ying's words, the generals leading the troops, including Wei Chigong and Feng Li, were silent.

"General Ben is very disappointed!" Chen Ying looked at the generals and shouted, "Can such an army protect the fathers and villagers in Guanzhong?" Isn't it right to abolish the old and the weak? ”

Xue Wanche didn't dwell on this at this time, but said stubbornly: "General Mingjian, the last general does not agree to dismiss the old and weak, but how to dismantle, the imperial court must come up with a one-way way, and they can't let them get out of a single order!" ”

The generals also chimed in.

After all, in this era, there were no perfect regulations for the retirement of the troops in later generations, and there was no so-called discharge settlement fee. Once a soldier is old and weak, or disabled, and no longer goes to the battlefield, he is generally dismissed, and only a sum of money is issued. Depending on the distance of the soldier's hometown, the court will give a consistent or several entanglement.

These dishes are eaten until they go home, and there is basically nothing left.

Therefore, some soldiers, who had no land and no families, were at a loss when they heard that their troops were going to be dismantled.

Chen Ying had actually been prepared for a long time, and Chen Ying had been involved in large-scale domestic forums to have heated discussions on the real reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty. Netizens put forward the "theory of natural disasters" and "man-made disasters" for the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and what else are the "theories of the Donglin Party misleading the country" and "the theory of traitors betraying the country"...... And so on all kinds of remarks flying all over the sky.

However, Chen Ying agreed with Huang Renyu's point of view, Huang Renyu believed that an important reason for the death of the Ming Dynasty was financial bankruptcy, and the reason for the financial bankruptcy was that the national policy of the early Ming Dynasty was greatly regressed, and the government did not let the government take more responsibility, but only counted on the countryside to take care of itself.

The Ming Dynasty died in rudeness.

The national policy of the Ming Dynasty was that pro-people officials were not allowed to disturb the countryside, and they were not even allowed to go out of the county seat. That is to say, under the county seat, almost the state of anarchy was dealt with, and all were governed by the gentry and local clans.

The things of the past life do not forget the teachers of the future.

Is the reason for the demise of the Tang Dynasty in history really the scourge of the feudal towns?

Of course, it is a fact that the imperial court does not strictly control the localities, and in fact, in the case of more serious crises, the imperial court does not carry out detailed control of the localities from the beginning to the end.

The clan gate lords were exempt from taxes, but the imperial court demanded taxes to keep the country running. However, after the financial crisis, the Tang Dynasty no longer had the land and financial resources to support the more than 200,000 soldiers in Guanzhong during the Tang Xuanzong period.

In this case, Tang Xuanzong hit the idea on the naturalized Hu people outside the Guan, because the Hu people are all soldiers, do not need training, do not need food, every time they fight, they will be rewarded for settlement, forming a mercenary nature, so the Tang Dynasty has turned from prosperity to decline.

Chen Ying insisted that Datang should add an effective management system. Just like the pilot he did in Lingzhou, a guarantee system was set up, so that the imperial court could directly manage the local security system.

Use retired veterans to act as even a chief, security chief, or town mayor.

Usually joint security, responsible for the security of the township. As soon as the need arises, military mobilization forces can be quickly formed.

Although these veterans do not support strenuous exercise, they have rich combat experience, and what is even more rare is their incomparable love for Datang.

Chen Ying planned to implement the armor protection system, and in the county, there were 10 households with a chief, 10 households with a chief, and 10 with a town mayor.

Ordinary soldiers who retire from military service can serve as a captain and enjoy 50 acres of land.

The captain and the officer of the rank of the captain of the team can serve as the chief of the security guard. Enjoy the treatment of 100 acres of professional land, and enjoy the treatment of the imperial court from the ninth rank to accompany the lieutenant.

The mayor of the town needs to be filled by retired officers at the brigade rate or captain level, and is allocated 200 acres of professional land, and enjoys the treatment of the imperial court Zhengjiupin Renyong Lieutenant.

For the states and counties that have established the armor protection system, the border states also give priority. Outside the customs first. Taking 4,000 households in a county as an example, this requires 400 chiefs, 40 chiefs, and 400 town chiefs.

If the main and secondary matches are adopted, then seven or eight hundred retired soldiers can be arranged.

Looking at the regulations on the retirement system issued by Chen Ying, Wei Chigong said excitedly: "If 30,000 old and weak people are abolished, hundreds of counties will need to be resettled (there are also lower counties, less than 4,000 households). Are there so many counties? ”

Chen Ying laughed and said: "The Anxi Protectorate has nineteen states and more than one hundred and fifty counties, which is enough to resettle. Moreover, where the chief of the armor is located, the general can promise that the chief can get three main rooms and four wings at the most, as well as all the acres of Dingkou, the chief can get four main rooms and five wings, and the mayor can get five main rooms and six wings! ”

Feng Li laughed and said, "The last general wants to retire from the army!" ”

Chen Ying said solemnly: "This retrenchment, in line with the principle of voluntariness, voluntary discharge, the same level can be given priority placement, if not discharged, in the future to carry out high-intensity training, once every ten years, within a month, thirty years of assessment, all the last position, must be forced to discharge!" ”

Xue Wanche groaned: "The skills are not as good as others, and no one can complain about others!" ”

Chen Ying was also immigrating in disguise at this time, after all, almost ninety percent of the Twelve Guards Army were from Guanzhong, and they were going to work thousands of miles away, and they were bound to drag their families with them, and 30,000 old soldiers were 30,000 households, hundreds of thousands of people, and they migrated out unconsciously.

……

Chang'an City Huai'an Palace. A group of disciples of the Li family clan surrounded Li Shentong and scolded and said: "According to Fang Xuanling's strategy, our clan will all reduce the title." ”

Another disciple of the clan also said: "No matter what you say, we are also your Majesty's flesh and blood relatives, how can we have our own family and calculate the truth of our own family?" ”

Li Xiaochang, the king of Yi'an County, sneered with a sneer on his face: "King Zhao Junwang must be fine!" ”

Li Shentong's face was depressed.

"King Zhao is the highest in our clan, how could he be reduced to a knighthood?"

Li Xiaochang swore and said: "The one sitting in the Xiande Hall has never been a character who cares about family affection, how do you know that King Zhao Jun can avoid this?" Don't forget, in front of the Xuanwu Gate, the blood stains have not dried! ”
