Eight hundred and fifty-four chapters military reservation
It's late at night and everyone is quiet, Qianxian Hall (where the eldest grandson Wugu lives after Li).
Spring is warm, flowers are blooming, and the garden is full of spring colors.
"Forced by the situation, I will not stay here for too long. I will leave when the situation in our country stabilizes. You..."
Holding his arms around his eldest grandson Wugou, who was as soft as a bone, Wu Xin asked directly with emotion, but in the end it was a little hard to say.
At first, Wu Xin pursued Changsun Wugou for her reputation as the "Eternal Wise Queen". Later, they stayed together for a long time and fell in love with each other.
Among all the women, Wu Xin really had the deepest affection for Changsun Wugou, and he usually stayed in Changsun Wugou's palace.
“When you marry a chicken, follow the chicken; when you marry a dog, follow the dog; when you marry a monkey, you run all over the mountain…”
Smart people don't need to speak too clearly. Changsun Wugu lazily lay on Wu Xin and answered with a somewhat heavy tone.
"If I leave, only you can control the world! Others... I can't trust..."
Wu Xin tightened his arms and said politely.
"..."
Changsun Wugao was silent, lying quietly on Wu Xin's chest...
After a while, crystal-hot tears wet Wu Xin's chest...
Changsun Wugou's original intention was to leave with Wu Xin. However, the two of them could not leave together, otherwise no one would be able to control Li Guo.
It's not stated explicitly, but the fact is obvious.
Li's eldest grandson, Wugu, must stay in Li's country to take charge!
…
The next day.
King Li Wuxin did not go to court early until sunset, when Lieutenant Li Jing came to see him and handed over the list of all the generals who had surrendered their military power today.
"Even the Duke of Wei surrendered his military power?"
Wu Xin glanced through it briefly and asked with a frown.
Wu Xin still quite recognized the abilities of Wei Guogong Li Mi.
Originally, Wu Xin wanted to send Li Mi to conquer the foreign tribes. Success would be the best, and failure would not matter, as it would at least weaken the strength of both sides. Therefore, Wu Xin's idea of confiscating military power left some room.
Unexpectedly, Li Mi was so cowardly that he actually handed over the military power, which made Wu Xin somewhat difficult to handle!
"To inform my king, Wei Guogong handed it over in the morning and was the third person to come to handle the handover..."
Li Jing didn't know what Wu Xin meant, and didn't want to guess. He just answered meaningfully.
"The third one..." Wu Xin murmured in a low voice and didn't say much more.
It is a good thing that Li Mi can understand his interests, and there is no reason to force his ministers to death.
Wu Xin believed that as long as Li Guo remained strong, Li Mi would not and would not dare to cause trouble.
"My king, I don't know how to draw up this military register?"
When the point was made, Li Jing wisely did not say more, but changed the subject and asked for instructions.
Wu Xin thought for a while and quickly responded: "Now is indeed not the time for large-scale layoffs. Let's draw up a rough range based on age!"
"Twenty to fifty?" Li Jing asked tentatively.
Wu Xin nodded and responded: "Yes! If you have good talent or high cultivation level, you can also be transferred to a special department or legion, and the general level can also be appropriately increased in age!"
After all, there are many warriors who have lived for more than a hundred years, and many who have lived to be two or three hundred years old.
For example, Wei Xiaokuan, Changsun Zhi, Priest Dimo, and even top beings such as Yu Juluo, Ding Yanping, and Dugu Jialuo. They range from nearly a hundred years old to one or two hundred years old. It would be nonsense to ask them to retire!
"Understood! How should we decide on the establishment?" Li Jing nodded and asked for instructions again.
"What do you mean, Lieutenant?"
Wu Xin asked instead without answering. He knew that he was only suitable for controlling the general direction and making suggestions. If Wu Xin was asked to explain in detail, he was really not as good as Li Jing. He was not as professional as he was!
"This is what I have discussed with all the generals overnight. Please check it out, my king!"
Li Jing was prepared and took out a stack of documents from his arms and handed them over.
"The army of the five directions is stationed in the five directions of southeast, northwest, and central. It requires the seals of the king and the commander before it can be mobilized...
Imperial Guards... Xinwu Guards...
The twenty-four imperial armies are responsible for guarding major military cities and important strongholds in peacetime, and are responsible for conquests during war. The imperial army also needs two seals of Wang Shuai before it can be mobilized. In peacetime, the commanders of the major imperial armies can only mobilize their personal guards.
…
Based on the level of each city, there are armies with one million, five hundred thousand, one hundred thousand, fifty thousand, ten thousand, five thousand and so on, corresponding to Tiandu, giant city, big city, middle city, small city, stronghold, etc.
level……
The commanders of the Wufang Town Army and the Twenty-Four Imperial Army are randomly rotated after reporting their duties every year, and are strictly prohibited from serving in the same place for more than three years...
…”
Wu Xin glanced through it for a while, closed it, looked at Li Jing and commented:
"Yes, that's probably it! However, the rotation period is too short, just three years! And the imperial army...isn't the number too large? Does our country have so many military cities and important strongholds?"
What Wu Xin did not say clearly is that the Five-Fang Zhenjun and the Twenty-Four Imperial Army are relatively easy to feed tigers and turn into "princes who support their own troops and respect themselves", so they should be controlled as much as possible and the number should not be too large.
Of course, there are also restrictions on the documents given by Li Jing. Whether it is the town army or the imperial army, they need two kinds of seals from Wang Shuai before they can be mobilized. Otherwise, it will be an overstep of authority and the crime can be punishable by execution. Moreover, it is rotated every year, which is already a very short time.
When the deadline is over, a commander who is not capable enough will not even have time to control the army, and even the generals at all levels will not have time to get familiar with it!
"Yeah! Three years is fine..."
Li Jing replied thoughtfully, then smiled bitterly and continued:
"My King Mingjian, our country does have many important military cities and important strongholds. Originally, we planned to have 36 Tiangang, 72 Disha, and a total of 108 armies..."
"Ahem! Ahem! Okay, then let's have twenty-four imperial troops!"
Wu Xin coughed several times as if he was choked, and responded quickly.
If you think about it carefully, the twenty-four imperial troops are really not many. Just the mountains in the west, the important coastal areas, the Central Plains garrison, the northwest wasteland, the northern grasslands, the mountains and forests in the northeast, etc., need imperial troops to guard them, and the five-party town army is difficult to subdivide.
To various places.
Wu Xin has always known that the world is very big, so big that he can hardly imagine it.
I didn’t expect that Liguo’s territory would be so large!
If you think about it carefully, Wu Xin, who is the King of Li, has actually never been to most of the territory, including Lingnan, Nanman, Northwest, Northern Desert, Northeast and other regions. Wu Xin has never even seen the most important Burial Mountains with his own eyes.
It can be said that Li Wang Wuxin only conquered the areas near Jiangdu, Dongdu, Xidu, etc., mainly the three major heavenly capitals, and the rest were basically conquered by various ministers.
This emperor is...
Quite a failure!
Of course, Wu Xin was the founder of the country, and compared to other emperors, he had already visited many places.
According to historical records, many emperors never even left the imperial capital, and even some emperors never even left the forbidden palace.
This is where the famous absurd emperor allusion comes from...
When there was a famine in the world, the ministers reported to the emperor, and the emperor replied: If there is no rice to eat, don’t you know how to eat meat? Foolish people are stupid people!
Thinking of this, Wu Xin became more determined to go out. He didn't want to become that ridiculous emperor one day... (To be continued...)
