Chapter 5
"Brothers, I won't say much more than anything else, everyone must have a profound experience these days, that is, they have more than enough and not enough, although everyone wants to manage the border country well, but when it comes to the end, I don't know where to start, I believe that everyone's feelings are the same as mine, it is easy to fight the country, and it is difficult to defend the country. However, today I am fortunate to invite the old man Li Gui, who is the auxiliary of the former border country, and General Gil, the general of Zhennan of the former border country, with the guidance of their two elders, I believe that soon everyone will be able to be competent for their positions, and I am ready to let the old man Li Gui still serve as the complement of the border country and be responsible for the government affairs of the border country, and Jill is still the general of Zhennan, responsible for the defense of army training and management, everyone, do you think this arrangement is feasible?" Ying Xue said it simply and clearly, and everyone did not object after listening to it, because Ying Xue's words are everyone's voice, these days, everyone has a deep understanding that it is really not easy to be a good manager, it is indeed tired enough to choke everyone, and although they have made efforts, they have not seen much effect.
"Since you don't have any opinions, then please ask Li Xiangfu to re-divide everyone, and General Jill is responsible for the division of the major garrisons, I hope you will do what the two old men say, and I believe that the various contradictions we are currently facing will be properly resolved. Yingxue said confidently.
"Yes!" Wang Zhuo and the others saw that Yingxue believed in the two elders of Jill and Li Gui so much, and everyone had heard of Li Gui's name, and everyone was no stranger to Jil's name, especially Zhou Ming, so everyone stood up to express their welcome and respect for the two elders.
"Everyone, please take a seat. Thanks to your love, I can still look down on the old bones, I will make a long story short, in fact, I and Jill and His Majesty the King have discussed in detail the various difficulties we are currently facing from last night to today, in fact, we are now implementing the policy of reassuring the people in the three northern provinces is quite good, if it continues to develop like this, I think the future border country will be a pure land in the entire empty heaven and spirit world, although our border country is located in the border wilderness, but I believe that the border country in the future will make people rush to come here。 However, the biggest problem we are facing now is that we are too centralized, that is, we are not only generals of the army, but also have to take charge of local affairs. Therefore, the old man suggested that the duties of the local administrative officers should be completely separated from the duties of the garrison of the army, and that local administrative officials should be set up to manage the local affairs, so that the generals would have sufficient time to manage the army and not have to be distracted from the management of local affairs. Li Gui glanced at everyone and saw that everyone was listening carefully, so he continued: " After discussion with His Majesty, it was decided to set up three provinces and counties in the border country, from Kyoto to Saucer-shaped Pass as the first province and county, Saucer-shaped Pass to Tian as the second province and county, and Tianguan to the north as the third province and county, the commander of the first province and county is Lao Yu himself, and General Shan Tie assists Lao Yu in charge of specific local affairs, the commander of the second province and county is General Tang Bin, and General Liu Linfeng assists Tang Bin in charge of specific local affairs, and the commander of the third province and county is Marshal Wang Zhuo, and General Zheng Ti assists in taking charge of specific local affairs, and the strength of the whole country is divided into three army corps, each province and county has a corps, the corps commander is the supreme commander of each province, and the chief and deputy corps commanders are directly appointed by His Majesty the KingThe most important thing in the provinces and counties is to select a group of local officials, good magistrates can bring benefits to the people, and bad magistrates can force the people to rebel. Of course, these specific details will be drawn up, and I am only here to convey a general meaning, and if there are any shortcomings, I will ask General Gil to supplement them on his behalf. ”
When Jill saw that Lee Gyu asked him to speak, he was not polite, so he approached Lee Gyu's words and said, " Ladies and gentlemen, I am a soldier, soldiers are straight, I don't have to beat around the bush, I will be blunt, we all know that the army is the leader of a country, the strength of the army's combat effectiveness is directly related to the life and death of a country, now we are in a critical period, although the civil strife has been calmed, but it is not stable, and the country of Tianfeng is eyeing us, said at present, the strength of the army's combat effectiveness is related to the life and death of our border country. After consultation with His Majesty the King, it was decided to establish a military rank system, and I have fought with all of you, and it is true that you, as generals, are indeed the first to fight, brave in battle, and take great care of your subordinates, but this does not mean that the army you lead can always win undefeated, and now the war is fought by your personal prestige, which is not a long-term solution, because in this way, once the commander is defeated, the whole army will fall into a situation of no leader, and of course it will be defeated without a fight, which I believe all of you may be deeply aware of, based on this, it is necessary to establish a military rank system, and reward and promote those who have meritSevere punishment should be imposed on those who are greedy for life and fear of death, so that even in the absence of the commander-in-chief, the troops can fight alone and not fall into chaos, which, of course, requires the formulation of a series of military laws and regulations. Now I am ordered by His Majesty the King to announce the positions of the major legions. The first corps was under the responsibility of Zeng Zhaoli, Ma or, Liu Linfeng, and Zheng Ti, and was stationed in the Kyoto area, and another army of the forbidden army was set up, which was responsible for guarding the security of the palace, and was in charge of the commanders Zhang Peng and Zhong Liyun, and the second corps was under the responsibility of Zhou Ming, Li Li, Duan Daxiong, and Liang Yuanshan, and was stationed in the central region, and the third corps was under the responsibility of four commanders, Yang Yuhai, Xie Hao, Lu Qi, and Zhang Luo, and was stationed in the three northern provinces.
Ying Xue saw that Li Guiye and Jir had finished speaking, so she stood up and said to everyone: "The words of Li Xiangfu and General Ji just now are the result of our joint discussion, if anyone else has different opinions, you can put it forward now, everyone is a brother, there is nothing wrong with talking!"
"Very good, Yingxue, we have done everything, we don't have any opinions, so let's do it. Zeng Zhaoli shouted loudly.
"Yes, Yingxue, Li Xiangfu and General Ji have more experience than us, I think we have already done everything, as for some details, I think Li Xiangfu and General Ji will perfect them, I am a little worried now, I am afraid that we will not be able to do it and live up to your trust in us. Tang Bin said with some trepidation.
"Yes, Yingxue, I'm so worried!" Wang Zhuo is also a little worried, he is busier than anyone else these days, and he has learned to use less time to hate, which is really a bit of a feeling of Jiang Lang's talent.
"Don't worry, everyone, isn't this the same for everyone, I think as long as we do our best, we will definitely get through this difficulty, and with the guidance of Li Xiangfu and General Ji, what else do you need to worry about!"
"Yes, Yingxue is right, I think there is nothing difficult in the world, I am afraid of people with hearts, as long as everyone works hard, they will definitely be able to overcome the past. Yang Yuhai also said calmly that when he was sober, he was still more rational and calm.
"Yes, you have to have faith and believe in your own abilities. By the way, I still have one more thing to announce, I am going to teach the Heavenly Pulp Heart Method and the Five Spirit Footwork to all the military commanders here, and I am ready to set up a 'decisive battle tiger' in the major legions, distribute them with the most sophisticated equipment, and also train into a five-element battle formation like a special attack team to enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops, however, each legion is limited to three hundred places, so you must select the best elites to come to Kyoto for training, this matter is not in a hurry, now it is necessary to enhance the combat effectiveness of all of you here, otherwise, how to lead the troops to fight. Ying Xue said meaningfully.
"Five Elements Battle Array, isn't this the legendary set of formations in which the Heavenly Sage dominates the Sky Spirit Realm, could it be that the special attack team is using that set of invincible and invincible Five Elements Battle Formation, it's really incredible. This made Zheng Ti and the others feel a little surprised, although he had been with Yingxue and the others for so long, but he didn't expect Yingxue to hide so many secrets.
"What's this, Ying Xue is the master of the Tianyan Divine Sword, what is this, today we just got a border country, I believe that it won't be long before we can be like the Heavenly Sage back then, across the entire Empty Heaven Spirit Realm, leave a name in history, and be immortal!" Zeng Zhaoli said disdainfully, in his eyes, Zheng Ti and the others' behavior was really too much of a fuss, and he forgot that he was even more surprised than Zheng Ti and the others.
"Five Spirit Footwork! Could it be that Zhou Ming and Yingxue are using the Five Spirit Footwork, isn't this the secret of the Lingshan Country's Guardian Soul Clan, I heard that even the king of the Lingshan Country can't learn it, how can it be transmitted to our border country!"
"Yes, don't be too vocal after you learn it, so as not to arouse the covetousness of others, this Five Spirits Footwork, Heavenly Marrow Heart Method, Tang Bin, Yang Yuhai, Zhou Ming, Xie Hao, Liu Linfeng and Xie Hao will be, everyone will go back and ask them directly for advice, and the Five Elements Battle Formation, you have to wait until everyone puts ' The decisive battle array can only be contacted after being selected, because this five-element battle array can only be used by five people to cooperate with each other, so it is useless to learn it alone, however, the basis of the five-element battle array is the five-element footwork and the heavenly marrow heart method, as long as you practice these two things first, you can get twice the result with half the effort when you learn the five-element battle array. There is another point, please be sure to keep this matter a secret, so as not to cause a sensation and jealousy of other countries!" said Yingxue with a serious expression.
"Yes! I'll keep it a secret. Everyone said solemnly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have one more thing to emphasize, in view of Eagle Snow's special status, everyone must keep it secret, please remember that our king is called Long Ji, and everyone must remember this. Wang Zhuo's concerns are quite thorough.
"Yes!" replied the crowd happily, and with their relationship, of course, it was very harmonious, and they burst out laughing on the spot.
"Time is urgent, this is an extraordinary time, everyone please rush back as soon as possible to avoid accidents. I, His Majesty the King, and General Gill, will be touring the world in the near future. Li Gui frowned and said to everyone.
"Yes!" everyone left the palace in a hurry, and Li Gui frowned.
After everyone went back, Ying Xue saw that Li Gui was still standing there, as if there was something to discuss with him, Ying Xue saw this and said to him, "Grandpa Li, do you have anything else to tell me?"
After Li Gui and Ying Xue sat down face to face, Li Gui said to Ying Xue seriously: "Your Majesty, the minister does have something to tell you!"
"Grandpa Li, you and I are not outsiders, you can call me Yingxue, and if you have something, just say it. Ying Xue said indifferently.
Seeing Ying Xue's indifferent expression, Li Gui said to Ying Xue with a straight face: "Your Majesty, the so-called: there are no rules, there is no circle!" Your Majesty is now the lord of a country, and the identity of the past has been very different, after all, the monarch and the minister are different, since the king, there should be the dignity of the king, the so-called king's wrath, blood flowed thousands of miles, corpses are all over the field, this is the majesty of the king, but also the way of the king, and just now according to my observation, Your Majesty still has not changed the habits of the past, the monarch and the minister are too casual, there is no majesty of the king of a country, so there is no king and no ministers, there must be no distinction between the upper and lower dignity, over time, this generation must not put Your Majesty in the eyes, when its power is enough to threaten Your Majesty, there will be a heart to compete for the throne, this is not the blessing of the country, it will inevitably cause war。 ”
"Grandpa Li, what you said seems to be a little too serious, everyone is brothers, and we share weal and woe, not to mention that as long as among them, who has such a heart, I can give up the throne to him, why should I have the heart of fighting, anyway, I don't want to be the king for long, and besides, they pushed me up and forced me to be this king!"
"Your Majesty, this is a mistake! Li Gui glanced at Yingxue, who was full of doubts, and continued: "The king is an absolute authority, not only to be able to stand up, but also to control people. The so-called one will succeed in the bones, a word to prosper the country, a word to lose the state, to become a hegemon, must be in exchange for the lives of countless dead and wounded, in fact, the position of the king was originally sitting on the blood, I think you should be clear about this, in fact, this is only the first step of the king's way, after sacrificing countless people, in exchange for the king's position, does not mean to sit back and relax, inside, with you to fight the world, know your details, and as a king, the most taboo is to let people know your mind, know your weaknesses, and in their hearts, do not believe in you, may not dare to conflict with you head-on for a while, but once they are full-fledgedAfter all, the throne is covetous, and the affairs of the whole country are pressed on you, so you must be careful in your words and actions. If you are a little careless, you will go against the grain, cause the anger of the people, you will become the king of the country, and you will be infamous through the ages, even if you are diligent in government for the people, do your best, but after all, personal power is limited, and the king of a country, is the person who controls the life and death of the whole country, your every move is related to the life and death of a number of lives, a little careless, it will be a big mistake, the heavy pressure makes you worry about the country and the people all day long, such as walking on thin ice, although you are kind-hearted, but in the eyes of others you are not so, and you do not sit on this throne, the number of people who want to sit on this seat is countless, so the way of the king is really the most difficult thing in the world!”
"This, this, isn't it a little too alarmist, but these days I do have a deep understanding that the burden on the shoulders of the king is indeed not light, may I ask Grandpa Li, is there any good way to solve this problem? It is best to have the best of both worlds. Ying Xue was a little shocked when he heard this, it seemed that he didn't fully understand what Li Gui meant.
"All the real kings, after the founding of the country, must first kill the founding fathers, in order to prevent future troubles, one can prevent these people from plotting, the other can be prestigious, so that the whole country knows that the power of the king is inviolable, if not, at least these founding heroes, deprived of military power, put them on the shelf, abandoned, and closely monitored. In this way, you can truly establish the authority of the king and consolidate your throne. Therefore, the minister thinks that people with high prestige in the army, such as Wang Zhuo, Tang Bin, and Yang Yuhai, are all obstacles to you, and they are too casual between you, so you must get rid of them first, so as not to cause endless troubles in the future. How many brothers and subordinates have killed each other because of the competition for the throne throughout the ages, is there still a small precedent for this? As a king, you must make a decision on the spot in order to achieve great things!"
"No, no, how can I do this, these brothers share life and death with me, and we are in trouble with each other, I can have today is definitely what they sacrificed their lives in exchange, wouldn't I go to the house to draw ladders, unload the mill and kill donkeys! They are all my own brothers, Grandpa Li, this matter will not be mentioned again in the future, I, Ai Qi Yingxue, will never do such a thing inferior to beasts, even if I am not the king of this border country, it doesn't matter!" Yingxue said with a resolute face, how could he be willing to do such a thing!
"Alas, I knew that you would not listen to me, but you will slowly know in the future, although today you refuse to believe my words, but over time to see the hearts of the people, I hope you can keep it in mind, at least, you also have to have one more heart, the so-called defense of people is indispensable, I will not mention this matter again in the future, you be careful yourself! Li Gui looked a little sad, although Ying Xue's idea he also knew was right, kindness and sincerity are not a bad thing, Li Gui also hoped that Ying Xue would be kind and sincere, but sometimes life is like this, people are in their position, they have to seek their own politics and do their own things, this is also a last resort, Ying Xue is now the king, of course, some things must be dealt with immediately, so as not to cause trouble, now Ying Xue refuses to accept his opinion, Li Gui no longer insists, after speaking, he left the palace and returned to his residence.
