Early the next morning, when Liang Xing hurried to Liu Xing, Liu Xing smiled bitterly after listening to his report.

Sighing lightly and shaking his head, Liu Xing said helplessly: "It's really not enough to swallow an elephant!" A bell in the east, a flamboyant in the west! Aren't these two guys stupid? I actually want to think about rebelling against me and making trouble with me when the master is about to completely kill the Jurchens! ”

"The stupidest thing is still that Zhang Heizi."

Before Liu Xing's words fell, Liang Xing said indignantly: "If he hadn't tolerated Taifu for his rebellion last time, he wouldn't even have a chance to take down the Yongli Prison, and he would definitely be killed directly by you." This time he came to plot a rebellion again, and I think he is tired of living and looking for death. ”

People want to rebel, Liu Xing actually said that people were stupid, and when he said it, it was completely like it was just a game, which made Zhao Jinzhu, who was sitting in the same carriage as Liu Xing, couldn't help but look sideways at the two and pouted.

"Brother Liu, the generals rebelled and brought disaster to the country and the people. But how do I see that you seem to be completely unaware, as if you had foreseen it? ”

opened his mouth to ask, and Zhao Jinzhu immediately said: "The rules set by the ancestors do not allow the generals to run the army alone, and you will break the system of the literati running the army." Now it is good, and there is a rebellion. Brother Liu, do you think it's time to restore the system of the ancestors? ”

Hearing what he said, Liu Xing turned his head to look at her and smiled slightly: "It is inevitable that the military generals will rebel when they hold military power, but it is a minority." Your Royal Highness the Princess, if it is only because of one or two people, I will return the Great Song Dynasty to the weak state of military strength before the shame of Jingkang, do you think that even those ministers in the court will be willing to obey today? ”

As soon as these words fell, Liu Xing seemed to become a teacher. Change to a careful didactic tone. He explained to Zhao Jinzhu the reasons and reasons why he would never re-implement the rules set by the so-called Great Song ancestors.

First of all, Liu Xing said to her. It is why the dignified Great Song Dynasty was repeatedly harassed by those nomads, and finally the Jurchens went straight to Bianliang City, ruining the century-old foundation of the Great Song Dynasty.

Liu Xing, who started Song Taizu, did not say it explicitly, but implicitly and euphemistically explained the reason why Song Taizu established the system of literati in charge of the army and military generals governing the army.

That was Zhao Kuangyin, who himself had a sense of distrust of the generals from the bottom of his heart, so he derived the matter of "releasing military power with a glass of wine".

Then all the most elite troops were incorporated into the forbidden army, and the local only the box army with combat effectiveness was low, so it led to many times that the border troubles easily reached the interior.

Secondly, in order to check and balance the military generals, the Song Dynasty adopted the system of civilian officials in charge of the army, when the procedures for the transfer of troops were complicated, and it was easy to delay the fighters.

At the same time, it is also organically given into the bag. The battle plan will be given to the general before the battle, and some battle generals are guilty of not fighting according to the plan and winning. The phenomenon of fighting according to the bag and being happy to lose made the army of the Great Song Dynasty in the past insufficient.

Finally, because the Song Dynasty's army was not strong in combat, it led to the political idea of seeking peace when it was invaded, so it had been paying separate tributes to the surrounding minority regimes for many years, and "giving" annual tributes and annual gifts, which seriously affected the national strength.

After elaborating on these comprehensive arguments, Liu Xingcai regained his smile and looked at Zhao Jinzhu playfully: "The princess said that military generals will inevitably rebel when they hold military power, but for decades, there has been the Yang family army in the north first, and then the Zhejia army. And then there's your sister's family army. Taizu said that the military generals in charge of the army must oppose that theory, has it been overthrown in the bodies of those three families? ”

Hear this. Zhao Jinzhu frowned and thought about it, but immediately tilted his head and said: "Yang Lao Linggong is an example, the Zhe family has been favored by my Great Song Emperor for generations, so he will live in Lin Mansion for a long time and not want to rebel." As for the planters, the envoys of the plantation are civil officials, so it's a different matter, right? ”

What Zhao Jinzhu said was Chong Shiheng, the founder of the Seed Army, and the person who pushed Leopard Forest Valley to the peak of the nine major sects in the world.

When he was young, he advocated integrity, and if there were brothers who wanted to share his assets, he gave all of them and only took books. At first, because of his uncle's planting, he was appointed as the chief secretary of the prison, and later promoted to the prince's middle house many times.

Chong Shiheng once served as the magistrate of Jingyang County, and Wang Zhiqian's illegal use of illegal means to obtain benefits was exposed, and he should be sentenced to prison in accordance with the law, and Wang Zhiqian fled.

When the suburb pardon was approaching, Wang Zhiqian took the initiative to surrender to the government, and Chong Shiheng said: "Send Wang Zhiqian to the state capital and you will be pardoned." ”

He struck the king on the back of the back with a rod and pleaded guilty to the state government, and the prefect Li Xianshang exonerated him.

said that he was born as a civil official, and at this point, what the Second Saint Ancestor of the Leopard Forest had done by himself was already fully demonstrated. Because if the military general encounters the same thing, he will never think of leaving room for himself if he does not directly kill him on the spot.

Later, Chong Shihengtong sentenced Fengzhou, and Wang Meng, the general of Fengzhou at that time, was the in-law of Queen Liu of Zhangxian, and his actions did not abide by the law and discipline.

He once asked Chong Shiheng for personal gain, but Chong Shiheng did not listen, and Wang Mengzheng was very angry. So he induced Wang Zhiqian to complain and secretly help him. As a result, Chong Shiheng was exiled to Douzhou and later moved to Ruzhou.

Subsequently, the Three Holy Ancestors of the Leopard Forest Valley sent an official position to atone for the sins of Chong Shiheng, and Chong Shiheng was reactivated and appointed as the Sima of Mengzhou by the Song Dynasty court.

After a long time, Li Hong, a direct scholar of Longtu Pavilion, defended Chong Shiheng, Song Shou and Di Di spoke for him one after another, and Chong Shiheng was appointed as the Cheng of Weiwei Temple. Later, he successively served as the supervisor of wine in Suizhou, the signing of books in the same state, and the judge of Yanzhou.

What do those past events say? All show that before Zhong Shiheng was middle-aged, he was actually a traditional literati. He also used to drill camps, and he also participated in some of the previous party struggles in the Great Song Dynasty.

said that he was a little disrespectful in the camp, but Wang Meng, who framed him, was an authentic queen henchman, and the ministers such as Li Hong, Song Shou, and Di Di who later spoke well for him were also successful people in the Wenchen party struggle.

If he hadn't been in camp, why would they come to his aid? You must know that the original Chong Shiheng had not yet become a person who held military power, and he actually did not make much contribution to the Great Song Dynasty.

And he is still a person who will never use bribery and gifts to ask others to help him. Therefore, the most reasonable explanation is that Shiheng actually drilled the camp at the beginning, and it was still the party system of the literati dynasty.

Chong Shiheng really began to establish meritorious services for the Great Song Dynasty, which was the only way he could go down in history and be remembered by the world, and it also made future generations not remember that he was once a literati who was good at drilling camps and was good at calculation.

At the time when he first arrived in Western Xinjiang, the Western Army had in fact withered since the Yang Jiajun. At that time, the western frontier was understaffed and garrisoned. (To be continued.) )
