Children are long, and whoever says that they must be heroic and short-breathed.

Liu Xing is not the kind of person who has a gentle township and is destined to turn that gentle township into a hero's grave.

As soon as he left Yang Ling'er's medical hospital, Liu Xing immediately changed careers and rushed to the Heavenly Academy.

Strengthening the army is only the first means to ensure the hard-won fruits of victory.

really wanted to prevent the fruits of this victory from being taken away by the golden dog again, Liu Xing knew very well that he must now immediately launch an action to comprehensively consolidate all this.

Therefore, when Zong Ze and Zhang Suo, who had just returned from Daizhou City with their soldiers and horses, sat down in the Tianshu Pavilion with Wang Gao, Ye Mengde and Ma Kuo, Liu Xing immediately put the plan for reorganizing the armies that had already been written in front of everyone.

After looking down at it hastily, Zong Ze looked up at Liu Xing: "Mrs. Liu wants to cut out all the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty, is this out of place?" You must know that although our army has defeated the Golden Dog, it has not welcomed back the Second Saint and completely defeated the Golden Dog. ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Suo also answered immediately when Zong Ze's voice fell, looked at Liu Xing and said: "Even if Taifu can really smash the Yellow Dragon and destroy the Golden Dog one day, there are still party items in the west and barbarians in the south, all of which require my Great Song Dynasty to have strong soldiers standing up." ”

Seeing the two old marshals who were really good at leading the troops say this, Liu Xing smiled indifferently: "The two old marshals still don't understand, right?" I want to reduce the number of people, but I don't want to reduce the combat power of my Great Song soldiers and horses. Soldiers are more valuable than fine, I believe the two old marshals also know it, right? ”

"There's nothing wrong with a soldier being more valuable than a soldier."

Zong Ze spoke again first, and his eyes became a little suspicious: "But according to Taifu's thoughts, it is not only me and Zhang Taibao, but also Wu Jue of Xishu who will also be laid off. Isn't Taifu afraid that Wu Jue feels that you are taking the opportunity to exclude dissidents. Did it cause his displeasure? ”

Troubles. This incident that Zong Ze said. Liu Xing naturally knew what he meant.

This kind of incident really can't be born now, because once Wu Jue rebels, he will only choose to serve King Kang Zhao Gou first. That will only be a disadvantage for the court of King Xin, and there will be endless troubles.

What's more, once Wu Jue really reverses, then Wu Luan, who is in western Beijing, will inevitably follow his brother Ma Shou. Once Wu Lan also rebelled in western Beijing, it would inevitably have a great impact on the general trend of the entire world.

Of course, Liu Xing also understood one thing, which Zong Ze and Zhang Suo might not have thought of now. That is, Liu Xing does not want to use force against those who have supported him and supported him at any time.

Just like the publicity of the day, Liu Xing will only be the first to be proud of his soldiers and stimulate his ambition. Take the first person when he is not ready. With the least amount of damage, to deal with those who dare to rebel against themselves.

That's not a woman's kindness, it's just that Liu Xing thinks that even if a person who was once like-minded betrays his original intention, sooner or later that person's nature determines that he will eventually return to his true nature.

Give people a chance to turn back, but also leave a chance for themselves. With such thoughts, Liu Xingcai didn't want Wu Jue to really rebel one day......

"Your Excellency, I'm worried a lot, how can I, Wu Jue, be the kind of person who has a small belly and chicken intestines and is prone to rebellion." Just when Zong Ze's words fell, Liu Xing didn't wait to speak again, and suddenly a laugh came from outside the Tianshu Pavilion.

Amidst the laughter, a military general in his thirties, dressed in battle armor, walked quickly into the Tianshu Pavilion.

As soon as you enter the pavilion. The military general first bowed to Liu Xing and clenched his fists.

Then he saluted Zong Ze and the others one by one, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen. Wu Jue received Mrs. Liu's secret letter, hurried all the way, and finally arrived in time. I also hope that you adults will not blame Wu Jue for coming directly to see you without changing her clothes, it is really too heartfelt for you to see your adults! ”

Surprised to see Wu Jue coming to him, Zong Ze immediately got up, stepped forward and grabbed his hands tightly and said, "Jue'er, it's great that you can come to Wutai in a hurry." ”

"Zong Shuai also makes me miss it so much!"

Wu Jue looked back and held Zong Ze's hand tightly, and looked extremely excited when he spoke: "I heard that Zong Shuai has been fighting against gold to the death, which makes me really admire." I had no choice but to lead the troops to leave Jingyuan, and I had no one to defend the city anymore, so I could only stay in Jingyuan. It wasn't until Liu Qi wrote to invite me to serve the king that I had the opportunity to meet today. ”

Liu Qi was originally the envoy of Jingyuan Road, and Wu Jie was originally the deputy manager of Jingyuan Road.

In terms of position, Jing is slightly higher than the deputy director, which is also a key to Liu Qi's ability to let Wu Jue attract the whole territory of Bashu to vote for a letter......

After Wu Jue's words were finished, the old marshal frowned and said, "You just said that it was Mrs. Liu who invited you to come quickly. So, you already know Mrs. Liu's military strategy? ”

Nodding slightly, Wu Jue said: "Yes, when the secret letter arrived, Mrs. Liu attached the strategy of the whole army at the same time, and also asked Liu Jingluo to write a letter to tell me the details of the battle between the recovery of Taiyuan, the destruction of the enemy in Daizhou and the battle of Dongxia Pass." Only then did I know that Mrs. Liu had made such sharp firearms and failed miserably as a golden dog. Haha, it's really happy, it's happy! ”

Wu Jue shouted and laughed happily, but Zong Ze turned his gaze sideways and glanced at Zhang Suo.

After Zhang Suo saw Zong Ze's gaze, he immediately understood what he meant.

When Wu Jue's laughter fell, Zhang Suo stood up and hugged his fists at Liu Xing and said, "Mrs. Liu, although General Wu Jue will not object." But I wonder how the soldiers who have been laid off will be accommodated. ”

This is a key question, Liu Xing answered, and first stepped forward to let Wu Jue sit aside.

Then he looked at Zhang Suo first, then at Zong Ze, and Liu Xingdao: "I know what the two marshals are worried about, it is that those soldiers who were laid off originally joined the army for the purpose of resisting Jin. Once my strategy for the whole army is launched, there will certainly be a lot of soldiers who will be eliminated. You are afraid that they will fight for their kingdom and in the end they will get nothing. ”

As soon as the words stopped, Liu Xing waved his hand to signal Zong Ze, who was about to answer, not to interrupt him, and continued: "Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest, this is the law of heaven, and no one can change it without authorization for their own selfishness and own thoughts. But I will not let those soldiers who have fought bloodily to protect my rivers and mountains really have nothing. The soldiers who were laid off, and those who were still strong enough to fight, were assigned to the patrol battalions of various prefectures and counties. ”

After being obedient again, Liu Xing took out another document from his sleeve and handed it to Zong Ze: "If you are unable to fight again and are older than I require, you will give each of them thirty acres of land in the state capital where the people were slaughtered by the golden dog." Those who have military merits will be given more according to their military merits and qualifications. These fields are free of government rent for three years, and all the needs for the first year of cultivation are provided by the local government. ”

Seeing that Zhang Suo was about to interrupt himself when he heard this, Liu Xing waved at him again to stop him, and then said: "One year is the official rent is just a basic benefit, and those veterans can go to the local government-run medical clinic to see a doctor when they are sick in the future." When they are old, they will receive pension rations every month at the Fujun Divisions that I will soon set up in various places. In short, although they have now launched the army, they fought to protect our rivers and mountains, and I will never forget it. The birth is supported and the old are dependent, so that everything in the future can rely on us, the new court. ”

Liu Xing's plan and perfection have been perfected to what the future of those veterans should be.

According to Liu Xing's strategy for the whole army, only those soldiers between the ages of 16 and 30 were retained in the army. After the rest withdraw, Liu Xing will let them worry about the future.

In the future, when soldiers were recruited, Liu Xing's strategy clearly stated that as long as the students had studied and graduated from the military academy and the official school run by the county government. Don't if you haven't read a book, don't be under the age of 17,

That is to say, it is equivalent to telling Zong Ze, Zhang Suo and others that the kind of people who have not formally participated in the military preparation academy and are illiterate have even closed the door to join the army.

Isn't there a saying among the people, called "A good man is not a soldier, and a good iron is not a nail"? Liu Xing's strategy is to completely change the thinking of the people. In the future, all good men will be soldiers, and good iron will be used to build an iron army.

Although Liu Xing's meaning was seen from the strategy, when Liu Xing finished speaking.

Zhang Suo still hesitated, and said: "But the entire Great Song Dynasty only has so many soldiers and horses left, is it really enough to deal with external and internal troubles?" Also, the elimination of soldiers and horses will inevitably involve all levels of military ranks, isn't Mrs. Liu planning to cut even those middle and low-level officers in the army? ”

"How's it going?"

This time, without waiting for Liu Xing to answer, Wu Jue, who was sitting on the side, just took a sip of tea and put down the tea bowl, and hurriedly answered: "Those officials who have been sealed by various martial arts ranks are not less than tens of thousands of people, right?" But when the Great Song Dynasty was in danger, how many of them really stood up and fought to the death for the country? If you want me to say, you should cut some more, starting with me. ”

Zong Ze and Zhang Suo were in a hurry, and they didn't really understand Liu Xing's strategy.

On the way here, Wu Jue pondered carefully whenever he had free time, and he had fully understood Liu Xing's intentions.

This time, it was not only necessary to lay out those soldiers who did not meet the requirements, Wu Jue knew that even those shady martial officers would also be cut.

At the beginning in the city of Taiyuan, Yao Jiayanei fought against Liu Xing with his own martial rank, and when Wu Jue was young, he was not often bullied by those martial and literary people who were sealed because of Lao Tzu's meritorious service.

Therefore, after he understood that Liu Xing's strategy for reorganizing the army and abolishing the shadow seal, he was the first to stand up and shout for Liu Xing.

Zhang Suo and Zong Ze are now considered ministers, and Wu Jue is the minister who controls this heavy army outside.

With the firm support of such a foreign minister, Liu Xing waited for him to finish speaking, and immediately said: "Yes, abolish the civil and military class, and in the future, I will not raise those prodigal sons who have a vain name." On this point, it is useless for the two old marshals to oppose it, which the officials have already agreed. (To be continued......)
