The personnel changes proposed by Ye Yu directly affected eight main army corps, twenty-three regular army corps, and indirectly affected several local armies. If approved, it would mean that 70% of Nan Yan's military strength would be under the direct control of the royal family.
The Ye family controls these powers, which are the foundation of their livelihood and the embodiment of their status. Muying can only be jealous when she looks at them.
But once these powers fall into the hands of Yanqueluo, their meaning will be completely different. The ownership of the army means imperial power!
When the time comes, even if Yan Que Luo cannot touch Mu Ying for the time being, with the support of the army, she can chip away at Mu Ying's authority bit by bit and firmly control the court.
Muying would rather maintain the status quo than let the royal family control the military.
But before today, he had never thought of this possibility. Now that Hong Wu has expressed his stance, he can feel a little relieved.
"What General Hongwu said is absolutely true." Mu Ying said eloquently: "If such people are mobilized at once, the army will definitely be in turmoil."
"There are more than so many people." Ye Yu interrupted Mu Ying, took out a roster, and said calmly: "There are also some deputy army commanders, division commanders, and some middle and lower-level officers. Because there are many people, I will not list them all.
Once explained."
**!
Looking at the thick roster in Ye Yu's hand, Mu Ying couldn't hold back her breath. Even if it means handing over power, you don't have to go so far.
"General Hongwu, look at it, look at it..." Muying could only place her hope on Hongwu and said angrily: "You can't let him act like this."
Hong Wu replied lukewarmly: "It's not your turn, Mr. Mu, to dictate military affairs."
Muying was choked for a moment, and just as she was about to have an attack, Hongwu continued: "However, there is something wrong with these transfer orders proposed by the marshal."
Muying swallowed another breath, secretly hating in her heart that she will deal with you one by one in the future, but today I will watch you dog bite dog.
Ye Yu glanced at Hong Wu and said coldly: "General Hong, why don't you tell me what's wrong with my commander's transfer order?"
Hong Wu's expression remained normal and he said calmly: "There are still three main legions and fourteen regular legions. The marshal did not say anything."
Ye Yu and Yan Que Luo were startled at the same time, and Mu Ying had a bad premonition in her heart.
"The General Staff Headquarters has recently received reliable news that the major tribes of barbarians are moving frequently, and there may be major actions." Hong Wu said: "Under this situation, I believe that the scope of the marshal's adjustment is too small. The remaining three main forces
The legions and the fourteen regular legions should also undergo changes. The military staff and some local legions also need to be adjusted..."
Just listening to the previous words, one might have thought that Hong Wu was speaking sarcastically. But when Hong Wu, like Mu Ying, proposed the candidates for transfer and succession, everyone was completely dumbfounded. Mu Ying was even more angry and shaking all over. This is the real
What a big blood change.
Hongwu not only mentioned the major legions dedicated to combat, but also included the local legions responsible for internal defense. The Mu family has never really penetrated into the army. Even the commanders of the legions who claimed to have taken refuge in Mu Ying followed the trend.
Go. Therefore, the Mu family has always invested a lot of energy in the local army.
Hongwu wanted to completely eliminate the Mu family's influence in the army.
**, Hong Wu and Ye Yu are actually wearing a pair of pants. Are their brains wet?!
Muying was furious and said loudly: "Since the barbarians are ready to move, it is even more inappropriate to make adjustments. The generals under Marshal Ye have rich experience in fighting the enemy. How can they deal with the barbarians if they make such a large-scale adjustment at once and the morale of the army is unstable.
"
What Muying thinks about now is no longer fighting for power, but maintaining the current situation and allowing Yeyu to retain power.
Under Mu Ying's instruction, the ministers of the Mu family faction also began to speak frequently, arguing tit for tat with Ye Yu and Hong Wu.
However, these adjustments are ultimately a matter of the military. Muying and others can speak, but they cannot interfere. With the combination of Ye Yu and Hong Wu, the military finally gained the upper hand.
Seeing that the fire was almost done, Yanqueluo pressed her hands and signaled everyone to be silent, and then said: "Marshal Yeyu and General Hongwu are loyal to the empire for the sake of the empire. But as Mr. Mu said, such adjustments can easily weaken the morale of the military.
It’s floating, but there’s something wrong with it.”
Muying was stunned. What was going on today? Why did Yanqueluo speak for me instead?
Yan Queluo continued: "Although Yan Qingchen and others are capable, they lack experience in fighting the enemy. Therefore, I suggest that the original commanders of the major legions should stay in their posts, and Yan Qingchen and others serve as deputy positions. Can they be the commanders of the legions in the future?
It depends on their performance. When the time comes, Marshal Ye and General Hong will have to worry about it.
As for the middle and lower-level officers, they are the foundation of the army, so it is best if they can stay put. Of course, if someone really needs to be transferred, special cases can be made. After retiring, they can serve in local legions..."
Ye Yu and Hong Wu glanced at each other in unison, and both saw a strange look in each other's eyes.
These two people are indeed ready to hand over power, but they are not without more care. Such large-scale adjustments are extremely rare in the history of the empire. If Yanqueluo looks ugly, I really want to swallow it all in one mouthful. It will definitely be unbearable. Yanqueluo is like this
The arrangements were made so that the power of the two men was not greatly weakened, but instead strengthened in other aspects. In a few words, they extended their tentacles to the local army. With these words as a foreshadowing, it was a foregone conclusion that the Mu family's influence would be eliminated from the military.
Yanqueluo's show of kindness was expected by the two of them. However, the large scale and high skill made both military bosses a little surprised.
As for Muying, she was already like a toad, bulging with anger but helpless.
Subsequently, Yan Queluo took the lead, Ye Yu and Hong Wu cooperated, and the appointment and dismissal of the military was quickly agreed upon. The Mu family's faction was almost completely eliminated.
After it was over, Muying, with an almost swollen face, handed over the transfer roster that she had prepared earlier. Then, she stared at Yanqueluo with a look like if you don't pass, I will fight with you endlessly.
Yan Queluo ignored Mu Ying's disrespectful behavior, flipped through a few pages, and said with a smile: "Master Mu's suggestion is very good, there is no problem."
Muying's face finally looked better and she said: "Then please let Her Royal Highness the Princess rule."
Yan Queluo smiled slightly, turned to a middle-aged general standing behind and said, "Luo Hao, you do have the idea of resigning as the army commander, don't you?"
Luo Hao, the commander of the Second Legion, was stunned for a moment and didn't understand why Yanqueluo suddenly asked him this. He glanced at Ye Yu hesitantly and said, "I am an only son. My parents are weak and sick. I really want to return home."
Luo Hao is one of the army commanders Muying contacted. He is a brave general who has led troops abroad for many years and stationed at the border to fight against the barbarians. However, he has long wanted to return home, and was scolded by Ye Yu for this. Because of this,
Only then was he taken advantage of by Mu Ying.
Yanqueluo smiled and said: "In that case, you can go back to your hometown and become a governor. Master Mu just mentioned that the original governor had bad conduct and it is time to replace him."
Muying was dumbfounded and Luo Hao was stunned. Neither of them responded for a moment. Ye Yu quickly urged: "Luo Hao, you haven't thanked Her Royal Highness the Princess for her kindness."
"Oh." Luo Hao nodded and bowed: "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess."
For Luo Hao, Ye Yu was not reluctant to let him go. It was just that Luo Hao's parents were unwilling to leave their hometown. Luo Haogui was the commander of the army and had the title of earl. If he didn't find a good position after returning, he would have no choice but to retire directly. From the bottom of his heart,
Ye Yu hopes that his brother will find a good home.
At this time, Muying also reacted and said anxiously: "Your Highness, I didn't mean that..."
"Didn't you propose the substitution?" Yanqueluo asked strangely, "Is there any other intention?"
"I..." Mu Yingzhen's teeth were almost broken.
The original governor was a member of the Mu family, but Mu Ying noticed that the guy was getting restless, so she wanted to give him a beating. The original intention was that the governor's position would be left empty first, and then he would be brought up after beating him. Unexpectedly, he was caught by Yanqueluo.
The gap was directly sealed to Luo Hao.
In the past, Mu Ying would have had to fight hard. But now that the military is united, Yan Queluo takes advantage of the situation. If he does not let Luo Hao be the governor, he will definitely receive a strong backlash. Moreover, the commander of the city guard in Luo Hao's hometown
, seems to have just been replaced by someone from the military.
However, Muying's troubles were not over yet. Yanqueluo found several loopholes in Muying's roster, either inserting people from the Ye family or inserting people from Hongwu. There were others.
Yanqueluo quietly made adjustments to some positions, using neutral factions such as the Black Mountain Family to erode the Mu Family's authority.
Ye Yu and Hong Wu's influence in the military was indeed weakened, but it was strengthened locally. Yan Queluo's move made it seem that the two of them were not at a disadvantage, and at the same time dispersed their strength.
Ye Yu and Hong Wu looked calm on the surface, but the waves in their hearts never stopped for a moment.
Her Majesty the Queen's mind and skills are probably not much worse than those of the Northern Frost Iron-Blooded Emperor Romenus.
Mu Ying was naturally opposed to Yanqueluo's arrangement. But not only the neutral factions, but also the ministers who were originally loyal to the Mu family also supported Yanqueluo. Some people were driven by interests and acted according to the prevailing situation;
At first glance, it was premeditated.
However, Yanqueluo was able to dismantle the Mu family so easily. The root cause was the attitude of Ye Yu and Hong Wu, and the support of the neutral faction represented by the Black Mountain family.
And the root of all this is a seemingly unrelated young man.
Yeze...
An idea suddenly came to Ye Yu.
If he becomes the head of the Ye family, what height will the Ye family reach in the future?
Hongwu also thought of Yeze.
At the beginning, he didn't think very highly of Ye Ze. At most, he was a knight-errant with both wisdom and courage.
Hongwu had already considered supporting Yanqueluo. If he didn't want to be led by the Ye family or the Mu family, the easiest way was to stand on the side of the royal family. Yeze's conversation with a hidden threat finally prompted him to do it.
The straw of decision.
But now, Hong Wu felt that Ye Ze was not as simple as he thought.
Everyone else had their own thoughts, but Muying's mind could no longer care about anything else and went blank.
At first they were arguing hoarsely, but later, Muying almost stopped arguing. He couldn't hear a word Yanqueluo said or what others said clearly.
The tide is over.
Muying's eyes were empty and lifeless, and she felt extremely lonely. But deep in her eyes, there was a looming look of madness and violence. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Piaotian Literature Register Member to recommend this article.
