The system of changing the commander remains unchanged, but after hearing Liu Xing's decision, the planter can only smile heartily, but he can't have any objections.

Compared with the people who held great power in the Song Dynasty, Liu Xing was already a person who was supreme in sentiment and morality. However, the nobility of sentiment and morality does not mean that there are no means of self-protection and self-defense.

The system of changing the generals was originally set up by the ancestors of the Zhao family in order to prevent the rebellion of the generals, and Liu Xing inherited it in order to prevent internal turmoil in the world of the Northern Dynasties in the future, which is understandable.

However, after the seed master smiled, Liu Xing immediately said something that he couldn't think of: "Placing a provincial place and changing the general is a routine for four years." Outside the province, three years is the system of restricting the change of line. The newly crowned lords are not allowed to serve as civil officials of the fifth rank or above, and military generals of the seventh rank or above. ”

When the new feudal lords were not allowed to serve as civil officials of the fifth rank or above and military generals of the seventh rank or above, the seed master heard this, and he couldn't help but speculate in his heart: The previous council has issued a formal canonization regulation for those merchant groups and military lands, according to which the standard of not taking households as feuds but changing to territories.

The idea of not sealing the fief was put forward by Liu Xing, which shows that he actually used those merchant army and did not dare to fully believe it.

According to the new rules set by the council, when those merchant regiments were knighted in the future, they would be the cloud cavalry captains of the land of thirty li, fifty li, and hundred li, the captains of the cavalry of the two hundred, three hundred, and five hundred li, and the barons of the fiefs of six hundred, eight hundred li, and thousand li.

Yun Cavalry Lieutenant and Cavalry Captain, their titles themselves are the titles of the seventh rank and below, and Liu Xing's words are obviously not aimed at the group of people who are sure to have the largest number of foreign lords in the future.

So who is Liu Xing targeting? For the barons who have more than 600 li fiefs in the future, as well as the viscounts of 2,000, 3,000, and 5,000 li fiefs, and the counts of 6,000, 8,000, and 10,000 li fiefs.

The barons rank from 5th to 6th rank, and they may have a standing army that can be led by 7th rank generals in the future. The rank of the viscount is from the fourth to the fifth, and the number of troops that group can control in the future. It should be equal to a four-rank military general in the imperial court. The earl is a second-rank and third-rank knighthood, and the people targeted by Liu Xing's words must be them......

Knowing the crowd that Liu Xing was mainly targeting, the seed master smiled coldly and said: "The knighthood is not closed, and the name is not given power." Well, at this point you have a good relationship with your husband! But with such a method of recovering power, how can you make those foreign lords feel at ease to govern their land in the future? ”

"There is no ghost in the heart, and it is natural."

Hearing the words of the seed master, Liu Xing also smiled coldly and said: "If he doesn't have the heart to rebel and be self-reliant. The actual military power and political power of the imperial court were not at all harmless and beneficial to it. Only those who have planned self-reliance and rebellion from the beginning will have a disturbed heart. Moreover, Mr. Hu is preparing a set of foreign lords official system according to my proposal, and as long as that official system is formed, there will be no objections from those foreign lords in the future. ”

If it weren't for the people who thought from the beginning that they were not simply going to the territory but plotting rebellion and self-reliance, they would not complain too much in the face of any kind of system given by the imperial court.

With a knighthood, it is to glorify the ancestors. With a fief, even if there is no population, as long as it uses snacks. It can also become a new capital for the heirloom and the rich party.

Since the imperial court has given enough to make the proprietors of those merchant armies glorify their ancestors, enrich their ancestors, and pass on their families for several generations, if they want the right to appoint and dismiss civil and military generals, it is obviously a manifestation of insufficient people's hearts.

In front of a person like Liu Xing, who is crazy and more ambitious, the planters believe that they will definitely dare to be ambitious, and they will be destroyed......

"As the old saying goes, 'governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh', okay! How do I feel that you seem to be trying to cook all the proprietors of the merchant army as umami-filled ingredients and put them on the big steamer of the imperial court. I guessed Liu Xing's true intentions from the bottom of my heart. The seed master also became a smirk, and said first.

After a slight pause, he turned to laugh loudly and continued, "Haha. I don't know how the proprietors of the merchant army who are still using their fortunes to recruit knights and outcasts will react after learning about your new restrictions, and whether they will be disappointed and not continue to recruit troops to expand their territory! ”

"The merchant class has reached a bottleneck in order to gain greater power, and the only way out is to continue to respond to the recruitment order of the merchant army." Hearing that the seed master said this, Liu Xing's face sank and became solemn, but he was still a little gloomy.

As he spoke, he looked out the window again, and Liu Xingjier said: "Businessmen are not trustworthy for profit, but they must not be trusted, because there are dross in any group of people, and there must be elites. Through the foreign lord system, consider the true state of mind of those who have ambitions to make their families nobles and get rid of business status. Maybe I will be able to find some good talents for the court who can take on great responsibilities in the future, and this is the ultimate goal of my great effort. ”

He stopped talking again, moved his gaze back to the planter, and the topic was brought back to the original theme: "Uncle Shi, the matter of the Lord will be customized by the Council." You'll know what I want. Now we need you to do a good job, the first thing is to deeply reform the military system, and I will tell you all about my thoughts first, and if there are any deficiencies, you can supplement them and discuss and correct them. ”

At this point, Liu Xing took the document back into his hand and began to talk about the overall plan.

According to Liu Xing's conception, although the military system of the Northern Dynasties of the Great Song Dynasty is already very advanced, the army of the Northern Dynasties has surpassed the Southern Dynasties and surrounding countries in terms of allocation methods and systems, in fact, it is hundreds of years ahead of the times.

But this is not good enough, not perfect enough, because Liu Xing in the Hunter Valley originally put forward a request to Yelu Bashen on the ordnance "two years and three generations of replacement and promotion, and the subdivision of the navy, land and air force", and now under the leadership of which Khitan Shangshu, the Ministry of Industry has fully prepared for the production of the third generation of ordnance.

As long as Liu Xing gives an order at any time, the system is unified, the arms are subdivided and equipped, and the new third-generation and Shenwu three-type firearms can be mass-produced at any time and then distributed to various armies.

In this situation of ready ordnance, if you want to bring the third generation of ordnance off the assembly line and distribute it in the future, it is obvious that its power can be brought into full play, and today's military system has obviously become a constraint.

Why is the current military system a constraint? Because of the current military system, in fact, Liu Xing relied on the little memory of his "history fan" and completely structured it according to the military establishment of a certain dynasty two hundred years later. Although it is leading, it is not really advanced. (To be continued.) )
