Section 420 Military System Reform
PS: Watch the exclusive story behind "I Want to Be an Emperor", listen to your more suggestions for the novel, pay attention to the starting point Chinese network public account (WeChat add friends - add public account - enter ddxiaoshuo), quietly tell me!
The meeting with Shaofu Ling Cen Mai and Uncle Nei Shi Tian lasted until nearly noon.
Although the things we talk about are trivial, they are a great challenge to people's energy.
Especially Uncle Tian is almost eighty years old this year, so after the meeting ended, he barely walked out of the Xuanshu Hall with the support of the eunuchs.
Liu Che personally sent this old courtier to the door of the Xuanshu Palace, and seeing the other party disappear into the distance, Liu Che lowered his head and muttered: "I have to consider Uncle Tian's successor!" β
This matter is not only clear to Liu Che, the emperor.
The aristocratic ministers of the Manchu Dynasty also knew it, and in private, they didn't know how many people were waiting to take over Uncle Tian's internal history position.
Among the nine kings of the Han Dynasty, the most fertile oil and water is the internal history.
Not to mention, as an internal history, as long as you gently raise your fingers, you can get tens of millions or even tens of thousands of oil and water.
Therefore, there are not too many people who have the idea of internal history.
However, so far, there is no candidate who meets Liu Che's wishes.
"I'm in a hurry, so I'll transfer Zhang Tang back from Xinfeng to be an inner historian!" Liu Che thought to himself.
Last time, Zhang Tang, Ji Di and Yan Yi's Xinfeng Ling battle, and it was Zhang Tang who won.
After all, in terms of being a pro-people official, Zhang Tang's advantage is too great.
He is a native of Guanzhong, familiar with folk customs, and has also worked as a Xu official. is also from a grassroots official family, and there are a lot of people who give him advice.
Therefore. The copywriting handed over by Zhang Tang is close to reality, and it is more manipulative and practical.
Compare it to. Yan Yi's recital emphasizes the rule of virtue too much, and to put it simply, it is a gossip article.
It's okay, it's just a little pedantic.
Therefore, the ultimate winner is Zhang Tang.
According to Liu Che's original plan, Zhang Tang would have to stay down for at least three years before he would be transferred back to his side.
However, if he really encountered the risk that the internal history yamen might be paralyzed, Liu Che would not stick to the rules.
With Zhang Tang's qualifications and rank. Now, it may be a bit reluctant to serve as an internal history, but there is no pressure to be an internal history.
In the Han Dynasty, it is not uncommon for deputies such as Cheng and Wei to override their bosses.
As long as the backer is hard enough, it is not surprising that the ministers such as Changshi, Sima, and the Lord Bo have put the dignified county guard in the air!
For example, in history, Xiao Zhu did something that made Shangshu, Langzhong, and Shizhong of the Inner Dynasty empty the entire Three Princes and Nine Qings. Even, the dignified prime minister has been turned into an eraser!
With Liu Che's current prestige, it is unlikely that he wants to do something like a little pig. But he bowed his head and obeyed the Yamen of the Inner History, but he didn't even need to say anything, he just needed to give Zhang Tang an edict of 'acting cheaply'.
Of course. To do so would be to break the rules of the game. As a last resort, there is really no chess to go. Liu Che wouldn't do that.
Now, judging from Uncle Tian's health condition, it should still be possible to hold on for another two or three years.
Therefore, Liu Che also revealed this.
"Majesty!" A waiter came over and reminded Liu Che: "Captain Yidu and Captain Drama are here!" β
Liu Che came back to his senses and ordered, "Let them go to the Qingliang Hall and wait!" In addition, the order goes down, and I don't have to record my conversation with the two captains this time! β
After saying this, Liu Che walked back to the Xuanshu Palace.
In the hall, Shaofu Ling Cen Mai still maintained the appearance of the previous play, and waited for Liu Che's arrival.
"Cen Gong ......" Liu Che sat back on the dragon throne and asked, "Shaofu's expenditures in the past six months, please make a brief report to me!" β
"No!" Cen Mai bowed, he had been prepared for this matter.
The Shaofu controlled more than half of the financial revenue of the Han Dynasty, as well as almost all the large-scale engineering and ordnance manufacturing projects. The daily expenses of the two palaces are all the accounts of the Shaofu.
If the Son of Heaven does not care about this, it can only show that the Son of Heaven is an irresponsible ruler.
However, Cen Mai knew in his heart that Shaofu had too many bad debts and too many shady expenditures.
Therefore, he also knows what he can and cannot talk about in his heart.
After sorting out his thoughts a little, Cen Mai reported: "Back to His Majesty, since His Majesty ascended, the ministers and colleagues in the Shaofu have been edicted, sincerely united, and excavated the 'Longshou Canal', and this project has been spent by the Shaofu for ......."
"Chang'an-Xiaoguan Rail Carriage Project, Shaofu Spent ......"
"His Majesty rewarded the world's widows and ministers and nobles, and the young government was edicted, and the ...... was spent"
Liu Che closed his eyes and listened to the huge expenditure figures reported by Cen Mai, of course he knew in his heart that there must be moisture in these figures.
However, Shaofu has accumulated disadvantages for a long time, and freezing three feet is not a day's cold, in which the joints are intertwined, and Liu Che is powerless about it at present.
I can only comfort myself with the excuse that 'if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the water is holy, there will be no disciples'.
Liu Che knew that if he wanted to move the hands of Shaofu and cut off those black hands that stretched out to Shaofu, at least, he had to wait until the Empress Dowager of the East Palace returned to heaven.
Before that, Shaofu was a hedgehog, and he would pierce flesh and blood when he moved, although his life was not in danger, but it would hurt for a few days, and even lose an arm.
After listening to Cen Mai's report, Liu Che roughly estimated in his heart that he had spent about 100,000 yuan of Shaofu savings in half a year after he took the throne.
In the history of the Han Dynasty, he can be regarded as the fastest spending emperor in history!
At the current rate, Liu Che has successfully done it, allowing Shaofu to spend money faster than he can amass wealth.
However, the 100,000 dollars are worth it!
Not to mention anything else, it is the Longshou Canal and the Railroad Carriage Project, both of which did not levy even a single peasant, and all of them adopted the model of subcontracting and hiring workers.
Although among them, there must be collusion between officials and businessmen, false reporting of expenditures, and their own hands. Greedy for ink.
But, at least. These two projects are there.
In particular, the Longshou Canal has now begun to irrigate the farmland near Linjin.
That's all. It can benefit nearly 10,000 farmers and nearly 100,000 people.
After the completion of the second phase of the Longshou Canal project, it will extend to Linjiang and surrounding towns, irrigating nearly one million acres of fields and benefiting 50,000 households.
After the completion of the rail-drawn carriage project, not only the national defense of the Han dynasty has been greatly consolidated, but also the circulation of commerce and logistics can be promoted.
As for other Shaofu projects, such as hydraulic forging technology and waterwheel technology, it is a good thing for future generations.
Therefore. It's worth the money!
At least it's more cost-effective than building the Zhang Palace, building the Mingguang Palace, or asking the immortals to ask for alchemy and gold!
While reporting these expenditures, Cen Mai in the audience secretly admired and admired the selfless governance attitude of the current prince in his heart.
In the history of the Han Dynasty, there has never been such a king.
Like the Son of Heaven in previous dynasties, he was quite frugal in his own life, and in the six months since he ascended the throne, he has hardly touched half a piece of tiles, all palace gardens and playgrounds in Weiyang Palace. They are all repaired if they can be repaired, but if they can't, they will consider funding for renovation.
However, for people's livelihood projects and various water conservancy construction projects. He was very generous.
Not a single copper coin was spent from the state treasury for the Longshou Canal, the railroad project, and the Baochu Road project, which had already begun construction. It's all out of this emperor's own pocket.
It is precisely because of this that public opinion in the government and the opposition will praise this son of heaven, right?
Cen Mai had heard of it. Now some people regard today's son as the successor of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen. Another Ming Jun of the Han Dynasty.
Some people have even shouted the slogan of 'the rule of the Han family is close at hand'.
Thinking so, Cen Mai lowered his head, he looked at his body that was no longer young, quite sad.
For Cen Mai, the saddest thing is that the Holy Monarch is in the court, but he is already dying.
"May I be able to see your virtue by the world, the phoenix bird to the ceremony, and the grand occasion of Heluo's picture!" Cen Mai thought in his heart.
For a traditional scholar like him, a son of heaven like Liu Che is indeed a lord worthy of allegiance and death.
Liu Che didn't know Cen Mai's thoughts, after listening to Cen Mai's report, he knocked his fingers, stood up, and said: "Cen Gong, I have been on the throne for half a year, according to the system, I will raise the mausoleum, please Cen Gong go back, gather the ministers of the Shaofu, inspect the surrounding landforms of Chang'an, and select a few alternative areas that are beneficial to the descendants of Sheji, I will come and see it in person!" β
The mausoleum system is the foundation of the Han dynasty.
Without the mausoleum system, the forced migration of local tycoons and wealthy merchants year after year, it would be difficult for the current Han dynasty to have today's stability.
Therefore, even in the hands of the little pig in later generations, who was a fool who longed for immortality, the Han family did not relax the mausoleum system.
Even, throughout the life of the little pig, the scale of Maoling is constantly expanding.
Liu Che has been on the throne for half a year, so naturally he will start to choose his resting place after death.
This is one of the things that every emperor of the Han family must do during his reign.
The emperor of the Han family never shy away from talking about death.
For example, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen's edict begins with the words: I heard that the germination of all things in the world is immortal, the reason of heaven and earth for the dead, and the nature of things, how sad is it?
Such an ideological consciousness, let alone the emperor of this feudal dynasty, I am afraid that the 'proletarian revolutionaries' of the Celestial Dynasty in later generations are nothing more than that.
Although Liu Che does not have such a calm ideological consciousness, as a traverser, he knows that even the sun will go out one day, let alone people?
As an emperor, it is enough for him to live a wonderful and fulfilling life.
Only when the brain is dead will you want to pursue immortality......
This is not the world of Xianxia!
When Cen Mai heard this, he bowed his head and said, "No! Abide by the system of His Majesty! β
Choosing a place for the Son of Heaven to lay ground is one of the most important tasks of Shaofu.
Sent Cen Mai away, Liu Che immediately drove the Qingliang Palace.
At this time, in the Qingliang Palace, according to Liu Che's order, there were no outsiders except for his close confidants.
Yi Zong and Drama Meng Ying stepped forward to greet him: "Your Majesty! β
Liu Che waved his hand and said, "No need to be formal!" β
He sat on the royal couch of the Qingliang Hall with a golden sword, and commanded to the left and right: "Give a seat to the two captains!" β
After Yizong and Ju Meng sat down, Liu Che asked, "A month ago, I ordered the matter, two Aiqing." How's it going? β
Yi Zong and Ju Meng immediately came out and bowed: "Back to ......Your Majesty, since the edict was given." Didn't dare to relax for a day, now. It's already paying off! β
"I ordered the numbers and training patterns of the two guards of Yulin and Tiger Ben, and the soldiers have learned it?" Liu Che asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, I have basically mastered it!" Yizong replied.
Drama Meng also bowed: "The same is true of the minister!" β
"Good!" Liu Che stroked his palms and laughed when he heard this.
Compared with the examination, Yulin and Tiger Ben are his real test fields.
For Liu Che, the bureaucrats who are selected are still old-style bureaucrats, although they have the aura of eclectic talent reduction on the surface, but in essence, the way of doing things of the selected officials. The way of thinking and the way of thinking about problems is still the same as in the past.
It is possible to rely on these bureaucrats to strengthen the centralization of power and strengthen the control of the localities.
But to expect them to make any earth-shaking changes and bring the pinnacle of creation to this pre-century world is to dream!
In order to start the industrial revolution, there must be a new school of thought and political power that can understand the industrial revolution.
Liu Che chose to put this new incubation room of ideological factions and political forces on the newly established Yulin and Huben two of his guards.
Because, the members of Yu Lin Wei and Hu Benwei are all from reliable families above the middle class. Even if someone is not, their rich experience and experience are enough to make up for their origins.
In other words, these two guards were the Han army's highest Chinese Cheng dΓΉ. The army with the highest literacy rate.
Yu Linwei even achieved full literacy! There is no illiteracy!
That's amazing!
As for the officers of Yulin and Huben, even if they are a captain, they also have a cultural quality above the level line.
Talking to people about poetry may not be good. But the ability to read and write, at least passed.
More critically. The average age of Yu Linwei is 21 years old, and Hu Benwei is 23 years old.
Young people are undoubtedly more receptive to new knowledge and ideas than other age groups!
Yes. Yu Linwei and Hu Benwei are not only the descendants of Liu Che to test new weapons, but also the experimental fields for him to transform the Han army.
These two guards, which add up to only about 3,000 people, carry Liu Che's mission of modernizing and reforming the Han army.
At the same time, these people are also the balancers used by Liu Che to balance the civil and official system, so as not to have nervous attacks and self-abolish martial arts.
As the sages said: The country is so great that if you are warlike, you will die, and if you forget to fight, you will be in danger!
Of course, like everything, Liu Che never expected to be in place in one step, so that the pre-Yuan Chinese people could understand the thoughts of later generations at once.
Therefore, at this beginning, Liu Che adopted a strategy of slowly infiltrating and imperceptibly changing the thinking of soldiers, or brainwashing.
After Yu Linwei and Hu Benwei were on the right path, Liu Che only gave them one task, in addition to letting Yi Zong and Ju Meng firmly control these two armiesβto teach all the soldiers the Arabic numerals of later generations and the methods of high school military training.
1234567890 these ten Arabic numerals can be said to be the ones that changed the history of later generations.
Without these Arabic numerals, it is difficult to imagine the path that the development of mathematics would have taken in the future.
At least, Liu Che was very uncomfortable with the mathematical calculation method of the Han family.
With these Arabic numerals, many of the mathematical knowledge that only the children of nobles or official families could grasp through diligent study and hard work could quickly popularize.
Whether it is Arabic numerals or a type of military training method, it is not too difficult, and even pigs can learn it in a month!
Of course, for Liu Che, what is more important is that the special nature of the army, especially his personal guards, is able to eliminate all interference from the outside world.
It was hard for him to imagine the scene where he took out the Arabic numerals and gave them to the hundreds of schools of thought to learn to use.
Even if Liu Che finally succeeds in popularizing it by coercive means, I am afraid that the time it will take will take at least several years!
Moreover, the resistance encountered in it will be beyond imagination.
The aristocracy and the bureaucracy will definitely get in the way!
Just as the church in medieval Europa prevented printing technology from spreading.
The aristocracy and the bureaucracy would never tolerate the prevalence of a mathematical method that could be mastered by the Riba and the mud legs.
Only put in the army, through the guΓ² army to popularize.
Moreover, soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, and in the army, no matter how unreasonable it is, no matter how much someone questions something, as long as the boss strongly pushes it, under military law, no one dares to chirp crookedly.
Now it seems that Liu Che made the right move.
Liu Che took out a booklet bound on white paper from his body, asked people to take it to Yizong and Ju Meng, and instructed: "Next, the two Aiqing will reorganize the two guards of Yulin and Huben according to the method on this book!" β
Yi Zong and Ji Meng took the booklet and flipped through it roughly.
The hearts of the two of them suddenly set off a monstrous wave.
"Your Majesty, this is to reform the military system!" Yi Zong and Drama Meng thought in unison.
Liu Che looked at the two of them, and said to himself: "The military system of my Han family, inheriting the military system of the Qin Dynasty, is based on the system of Shiwu, but the world has changed, with the popularization of cavalry and the update of new weapons, Qin's army organization method, I feel that it is time to reform!" β
"After the two Aiqing go back, according to the grouping method in the book, the two guards of Yulin and Huben will be regrouped, understand?" Liu Che said undoubtedly.
The army formation method of the Qin Dynasty has been passed down to this day, and it has proved that it has gradually become obsolete.
The new development trend of the army and the change in the mode of operation have made the Shiwu system no longer like in the Qin Dynasty, which can maximize the combat effectiveness of the army.
This is the same as in later generations, when the machine gun appeared, the queue to shoot immediately faced elimination.
Now, in the army of the Han Dynasty, the number of chariots is negligible.
Cavalry, taking the place of chariots, became the new king of war.
Moreover, the ironization of military weapons will inevitably bring about changes in the mode of warfare.
Then the corresponding army organization should also be re-explored and discussed.
The pamphlet that Liu Che is now sending out has not made much changes in its establishment, but has only made some adjustments to the structure of the army according to the organization of the army of Huo Quai's illness in his previous life.
The biggest change is that the establishment and responsibilities of operational staff officers have been clarified.
In this booklet, Liu Che ordered that among the two guards of Yulin and Huben, select those officers with outstanding military qualities to form a staff group of six to ten people, and the main responsibility of the staff group is to formulate combat plans for the commander-in-chief, clarify strategic objectives and tactical objectives, and assign tactical tasks to junior officers.
Another important task in the booklet is Liu Che's order that all officers above the rank of commander of Yulinwei and Hu Benwei should all begin to study "The Art of War", "Sun Bin Art of War", "Sima Xiang and the Art of War", "Liutao" and other military books.
Liu Che's purpose is very simple, that is, to reform and reorganize the entire Han army in the future with the backbone of Yulin and Hu Benwei, so that the Han army can keep up with the development trend of the times.
As for the reform of the army and the direction of the new grouping, Liu Che can only explore and explore step by step.
After all, he is not a retired special soldier - even if it is, modern military knowledge does not have much effect on the cold weapon army before the Western Yuan Dynasty.
After all, in the era of cold weapons, the army relied on chopping.
And the modern army fights with machine guns, artillery and airplanes.
