"This old slave is confused."

Qian Dafu scratched his head, really puzzled.

Xiao Ming explained indifferently: "Getting together to drink in broad daylight shows that they are open-minded, have no scruples, and have no entanglements of interests, if they are like strangers, it will be difficult to guess." ”

"The emperor's words make sense, so the old man Fei Ge has a ghost in his heart, General Luo Quan came back this time, and he didn't even go to visit." Qian Dafu placed another telegram on the table.

"He is naturally weak-hearted, his nephew's family wants to marry Luo Hong, if he doesn't give him advice, who will believe it?" Xiao Ming pursed his lips, in the former Great Chongqing Kingdom, it was almost customary for gate lords to intermarry with each other.

The Fei family can stand tall, on the one hand, because the Fei family does not participate in party disputes, and on the other hand, because the Fei family has some vision in marriage, which is enough to see from Fiji's insistence on marrying his daughter to him.

It's just that even maintaining neutrality requires strength, and it is clear that Fiji is constantly strengthening the power network of the Fiji family, and it can be said that this is a habit inherited from the Fiji family.

As for the marriage between his subordinates, he naturally can't manage it as an emperor, after all, this is a family affair of other people, and forcibly intervening will only cause dissatisfaction, and no emperor in any dynasty has done this.

"This is also a helpless thing, and Pang Shoufu is not exempt from vulgarity, after all, this cause is all right." Qian Dafu said with a smile.

Xiao Ming nodded slightly, in fact, he has now accepted this fact, standing on a high place, he can see the changes of the times more clearly.

The demise of one generation of princes and generals is only exchanged for another generation of princes and generals, and the end of history is always the same.

Since the birth of private ownership, the imbalance of wealth has made equality impossible, and the so-called change of dynasties is nothing more than the redistribution of benefits after the serious inequality between the rich and the poor.

Now the people of the empire can support him so much because he has made most of them get the benefits they want.

But as he developed, he understood that wealth would inevitably become unbalanced again, something that no one could change.

And this also made him understand more and more how difficult it is to maintain a country, and the people who once fought with him can become the enemies who destroy the country in the blink of an eye, and he is becoming more and more like a loner.

After reviewing the entire content of the telegram, Xiao Ming basically grasped the repercussions caused by the military reform.

Among them, Luo Hong was naturally the most dissatisfied with his decision, which he expected in advance, but governing the country cannot consider whose interests are harmed, and can only consider the most beneficial side for the stability of the country.

Luo Hong was dissatisfied, the generals under his command were naturally angry from one nostril, after all, most of these generals had followed him since Chang'an.

In response to this problem, he decided to adopt a strategy of division, promoting some and suppressing some of them, so as to minimize the impact of this military reform.

Thinking of this, he drew up a list, and whoever was promoted and who fell was on this list.

After preparing for a day, Xiao Ming came to the Zhengda Guangming Hall early the next day, and there were no civil officials in the court today, only generals from all over the empire.

In addition to the matter of military reform, he also has to announce the tasks of military reform to the army.

At eight o'clock, three hundred and twenty generals in green uniforms arrived one after another, which were the main generals in the empire's current army.

Among them, standing at the front on the left is the commander of the six military regions, and the six people at the front on the right are the commander of the military region.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

With Qian Dafu announcing the official start of the court meeting, a group of generals shouted three times Long live.

"Excuse me!"

Xiao Ming's eyes swept over the generals, and he continued: "Today, the mainstay of the imperial generals has gathered together, and everything must be clear, with all kinds of weapons put into the battlefield, the line soldiers have become a thing of the past, in order to adapt to the next tactics, I am determined to change the army to improve the combat effectiveness of the imperial army, including the six major military regions......

In the face of a group of generals, General Xiao Ming divided the district, and the appointees were all announced on the spot, and then waited for the reaction of the generals.

As soon as his words fell, a general bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the other five major military region generals have no objections, but only the commander of the Eastern Military Region, the last general, is really not convinced, and most of the generals listed in the court today have followed the emperor twelve years ago to fight in the south and the north, and many of them were lieutenants and governors at that time, and Zhu Sansi was just an ordinary soldier at that time, not to mention that he did not have many military exploits, even if he was ranked by seniority, it was not Zhu Sansi's turn, and the last general really couldn't figure it out." ”

Xiao Ming looked at the generals who came out of the ranks, this general was no stranger to him, his name was Ma Xudong, and he was also the earliest batch of generals in the Qingzhou Army, and when Zhu Sansi joined the army, he was a captain.

"The last general seconded it!"

"The last general seconded it!"

“……”

As soon as Ma Xudong's voice fell, more than 30 generals in a row came out to agree with Ma Xudong's statement, including generals from various armies.

Xiao Ming had already expected such a result, Lu Fei and others had deep qualifications, and no one dared to trespass, but Zhu Sansi's prestige was too low, so the commander of the Eastern Military Region became the only position that could be leveraged, who didn't want to get a little sweetness in this military reform.

The crowd, a smile appeared on the corner of Luo Hong's mouth, he looked at Zhu Sansi, and saw how he would accept today?

Zhu Sansi, who was standing in the first row, looked a little embarrassed, and he took the initiative to say: "The emperor is very kind, let the last general serve as the commander of the east, but the last general thinks that his qualifications are shallow, how can He De hold a secondary position, and I hope that the emperor will take back his life." ”

Xiao Ming's expression was always as calm as water, he didn't mean to blame these generals, sometimes it was much better to vent his dissatisfaction than to hold it back.

After a deep sigh, he said: "In this case, you will first listen to what this Eastern Military Region is, and then it is not too late, Lu Fei, Luo Xin, Lei Ming, Qi Guangyi, and Ye Qingyun's five major military regions have basically divided all the current troops belonging to the Great Chongqing State, and the extra Eastern Military Region basically has no troops, saying that Zhu Sansi is a commander, but in fact he is just a division commander, and besides, there are central army garrisons in the six states of Qingzhou and the coast, so why do you need an Eastern Military Region?" Therefore, the Eastern Military District is divided according to its responsibilities, and the main purpose after its establishment is to expedition to Alaska and open up colonies in North America for the empire along Alaska. “

"Ah, North America......"

"So far away, is that different from exile?"

"No wonder it's handed over to Zhu Sansi, and the others are not happy."

“……”

The generals talked about it, and the generals who came out of the ranks couldn't wait to retract, they didn't want to be a bare-bones commander and go so far away.
