As soon as he entered the villa, Ning Hongtao ordered his servants to hold a banquet, and because Yun Zheng had just said that he was concerned about food recently, he even explained it to them, and then took Yun Zheng's hand into the central hall.
It was okay if he didn't pull. As soon as he pulled Yun Zheng's hand, Ning Hongtao's expression changed. He suddenly turned back: "Zheng'er, why are you injured?"
Yun Zheng smiled nonchalantly: "Yesterday in Yangzhou, I was injured by two little old men. The problem is not big. I estimate that I will recover in a few days. But don't worry, uncle."
"How can I rest assured!" Ning Hongtao looked serious: "You were actually injured in this three-acre land in Jiangnan. If your mother knew about it, how could I, the elder brother, explain it to you? Tell me, those two elders
Who is this kid?" When he said this, before Yun Zheng could answer, he suddenly realized something: "Could he be someone from the Qinglong Sect?"
"Uncle is uncle. I can see at a glance that the key is the people from the Qinglong Sect, called Wuyi Erguai. These two old guys are quite capable of poisonous palms." Yun Zheng smiled, not seeming to be angry at all.
Ning Hongtao felt a little strange. In his impression, although Yunzheng was excellent and polite in dealing with others, his inner character was quite proud. Now he was hurt by others and he didn't even get angry. It seemed that he had made great progress in the past few years.
Ah, how did he know that this Yunzheng is actually not that Yunzheng? The time-traveling young man at the moment has not developed a proud mentality like the real Yunzheng. Although he is very satisfied with his family background and this body, he has not inherited it.
That kind of noble pride
Ning Hongtao said in surprise: "The two Wuyi monsters? Those are two of the three elders of the Qinglong Sect. These two monsters have been famous for more than thirty years and have few rivals. They are extremely famous in the southern martial arts world. How can you deal with them, Zheng'er?"
Got it?"
Li Mo opened his mouth to say, "This happened because of me, the young commander just saved me," but Yun Zheng interrupted and said, "It's a long story...Uncle, Tingshui Villa has nothing to do with the Qinglong Sect?
"
Ning Hongtao nodded: "Of course not. How can Tingshui Villa have anything to do with such a cult that confuses the public? Besides..." He glanced at Li Mo and hesitated, but Yun Zheng nodded slightly to indicate that it was okay. Ning Hongtao
Then he continued: "Besides, your mother sent a letter not long ago, telling me to pay close attention to the Qinglong Sect here. I knew at that time that the Qinglong Sect was probably not the same as us."
Yunzheng nodded slightly: "The Qinglong Sect is definitely not the same as us. My nephew can be sure of this, and we must not have any relationship with the Qinglong Sect - except hostility. Because this Qinglong cult is likely to become the mortal enemy of the imperial court in the future. My uncle understands.
What do you mean?"
"Are you saying that the imperial court is going to ban the Qinglong Sect?" Ning Hongtao was a little surprised: "But the Qinglong Sect now has hundreds of thousands of followers. What if..."
Yunzheng interrupted: "It is precisely because the Qinglong Sect has hundreds of thousands of followers and is well-organized within the sect, and it also preaches the so-called prophecy that 'the Yellow Dragon is dead and the Qinglong will rise', so...the imperial court will inevitably react,
However, the Qinglong Sect has become a powerful force. It is like an arrow on the string and has to be fired. How can it give up midway? If so, it will inevitably raise troops to rebel. At that time, the Qinglong Sect will be a rebel, and any individual or group related to the Qinglong Sect will definitely be punished.
Implicated... Tingshui Villa must not wade into this muddy water."
Ning Hongtao took a breath of air-conditioning, but he couldn't believe it: "How brave is the Qinglong Sect? We have millions of soldiers in the Wei Dynasty, but the Qinglong Sect's hundreds of thousands of rabble-rousers still dare to rebel?"
"A million soldiers?" Yun Zheng chuckled.
Ning Hongtao asked: "Isn't it?"
"These millions of powerful soldiers... Hehe, there is no problem in terms of numbers." Yun Zheng smiled brightly and said: "It's just that among these millions of powerful soldiers, my Yun family has 200,000 to guard against the Liao Kingdom;
The Zhou family has 150,000 to guard against Xixia; the Leng family has 120,000 to guard against Tubo; the Jiang family has 100,000 to guard against Dali... This leaves 570,000 troops. The imperial court's own troops are thirty-six guards in Guandong and thirty-six in Jiangdong.
Guards, Jingchu thirty-six guards, a total of one hundred and eight guards, 604,800 people, these 600,000 people... Of course, it is still enough to be called a large army, but uncle, you have to know that this army is like
Just like a sword, once it is kept flat for too long, it will rust, and once it rusts, it will become useless.”
Ning Hongtao frowned and said: "What Zheng'er means is that the imperial army is nothing but gold and jade, with nothing but crumbs? Oh, uncle, I don't understand the war. Since you said that, I think it must be true. It's just that I think it's true."
No matter how bad the imperial army is, it is always well-equipped. Compared with your border troops who have been fighting for a long time, it may be a lot worse, but it shouldn't be a problem to suppress some rebellions?"
Ning Hongtao's words really came from his heart. His opinion was that the Yan Yunwei of the Yun family were known as the most powerful in the world, so it was normal for the master of this army to look down on the army in the hands of the imperial court that had not been on the battlefield for many years.
, but no matter how much he thought about it, he never thought that even if he really started an uprising, he would be able to defeat the regular army of the imperial court. This is really false.
After Yun Zheng listened, he said to himself that equipment is of course extremely important in future generations with extremely high technological content. However, it is still a completely cold weapon era. Of course, the difference in equipment also affects combat effectiveness, but the most critical thing is not it.
Thinking about the Ming Dynasty in my own history, didn't the advanced firearms army simply lose to the pitiful 100,000 horse archers and cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty? Although there were many reasons for the defeat of the Ming Dynasty, the problem with the military system was
The most important thing is that if there is a problem with the system, then problems will arise with the people in this system. As a guy studying law, Yunzheng firmly believes that an excellent system is far better than just one or two, even if he has learned it in a rut and is incomplete.
great man
The system of the Wei Dynasty is very problematic in Yun Zheng's view: this history began to change during the Anshi Rebellion, so Yun Zheng estimates that the founding emperor of the Wei Dynasty was probably a time traveler, especially since he insisted and constantly emphasized that
Several "modern" views such as "Don't Tell the Sinner" are further evidence for Yun Zheng. However, Yun Zheng can't figure out why a time traveler would seal off four border army systems. In Yun Zheng's opinion, this is
Similar to the enfeoffment system, it was simply a step backwards in history. However, when he looked at the records carefully later, he discovered that the frontier army did not have such great power at the beginning. For example, the Yun family could only command the Yan Yunwei, their direct descendants.
The other two armies in Hebei and Shanxi, the Zhending Guard and the Taiyuan Guard, are directly controlled by the imperial court. As now, all military power is in the hands of the border towns, and the border towns can also arrange local officials, so that they are almost in a semi-independent state.
But the story of what happened sixty or seventy years ago was very complicated. The short story is that there was civil strife in the imperial court, and then the four major border armies sent troops to help the imperial court quell the chaos. After the chaos was settled, trouble also emerged. Originally, one-third of the military power in the border town was in
In the hands of the border town chiefs, two-thirds were under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court. After that incident, the imperial court not only lost the two-thirds of the military power in the border town, but also lost most of the power to appoint and remove officials in the border town provinces.
, resulting in a situation in which the central government was weak
However, although this situation is a bit bad, the total military strength of the imperial court is still stronger than that of the four border towns combined. However, the imperial court made another mistake, a mistake similar to the "existence fleet" in later generations, that is, regardless of the resistance of the border towns
No matter how difficult the invasion of foreign tribes on the border was, the imperial court was reluctant to send out the Central Army to fight, lest the losses of the Central Army would be too great to deter the four sides.
The results are self-evident: the border town army became stronger and stronger as they fought, and the central army became weaker and weaker. In the hands of Emperor Wanchang, he finally thought of a way to train the new army. But this man also had many concerns. He knew that if the central army
If he started to train the new army without giving some establishment to the border towns, the four major border towns would definitely rebound, so he had to allocate some shares to each border town; in order to suppress the shortcomings of the border towns in order to play their own strengths, Wanchang would
It can be said that the emperor Yun Zheng, as the young commander of the Yun family, has a headache when he comes up with a way that the treasury does not care about military pay, but he has to admit that his conspiracy is very powerful.
However, Yunzheng firmly believes that even if Wanchang does this, it is still not enough.
In order to ensure that no new border towns would appear in the current Central Army, the imperial court ordered the commanders of the three generals of the Guandong Guard, Jiangdong Guard, and Jingchu Guard to rotate every three years.
If the commanders have done all the work once, they cannot continue to rotate. They can only transfer the center of the imperial court internally.
In Yunzheng's view, this system would not be a problem at all if it were placed in later generations, because the armies of later generations have modern military systems such as a complete military rank system and a non-commissioned officer system. They do not have to worry about the general's lack of knowledge of soldiers affecting their combat effectiveness. However, in the Great Wei Dynasty
Is there such an advanced military system? Absolutely not! So this rotation system was extremely bad. For three years, as soon as I learned the actual situation of these thirty-six guards and the level of each guard commander, they were transferred to other guards and waited for transfer.
After three times, they simply refused to lead the troops and transferred them directly to the center to enjoy the blessings. If the defense ministers were like guarding against thieves, the army would not have much combat effectiveness!
Yun Zheng doesn't know if the Qinglong Sect can really start an uprising. Yun Zheng doesn't know if the Qinglong Sect's uprising can become a spark. However, Yun Zheng just feels that if the Qinglong Sect really rebels, even if the imperial army can extinguish the rebellion.
Thief, I'm afraid he will have to pay a heavy price
But Yun Zheng still didn't intend to remind the court that he was neither a good person who cared about the suffering of the people, nor a loyal lackey of the court. This boy was currently a typical monk who hit the clock for a day. He was the young marshal of the Yun family, so let him
The butt determines the head, and he is dedicated to the interests of the Yun family. As long as Chinese civilization does not suffer setbacks, Yun Zheng does not intend to think too much about the death of a few people - and he does not have the ability.
Yun Zheng said calmly: "Whether the imperial court wants to ban the Qinglong Sect, whether the Qinglong Church will rebel, whether the imperial court can easily exterminate the rebels... none of these things can be decided by us." He looked at Ning Hongtao and said: "What we have to do
Yes, just... laugh and watch the storm."
"Laughing at the storm?" Ning Hongtao was a little confused.
Yunzheng nodded: "The imperial court transferred the Qin Wang of the four major border towns more than sixty years ago. As a result, the authority of the central battle center was weakened. So if this happens again, the imperial court will definitely support it and will never let our border troops intervene unless it is absolutely necessary.
Among them, so we have to watch from the side... But then again, when we watch, we can't just look at it stupidly. We have to see the right moment and see clearly the pros and cons... The right time means that if the court really can't hold on,
Come on, we still have to save people. We must not let the chaotic party develop to the point where it can easily stir up trouble in the world. Otherwise, wouldn’t we have indirectly killed innocent people? As for discerning the good and the bad, that means fighting against the chaotic party in the court.
We must find the weak points of the rebellious party when the government is in danger, so that if the imperial court is in danger and we need to send troops to quell the chaos, we can launch a thunderous blow and completely destroy the rebellious party."
Ning Hongtao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "Zheng'er, you are looking too far ahead. My uncle doesn't have that vision. I don't think this matter is that mysterious... Anyway, everything depends on the court and the Qinglong Sect."
How did things develop? It's meaningless to talk about so many things now. In short, Zheng'er, if you said you don't want to have anything to do with the Qinglong Sect, then my uncle will completely ignore them. Anyway, we have nothing to do with them now.
Uncle will pay attention to this matter... Let’s not talk about it for now. The banquet is ready. You have traveled for such a long time, so let’s eat something first.”
Yunzheng nodded and said with a smile: "What uncle said is not unreasonable. Then my nephew will taste the delicious food in Suzhou first, haha."
Ning Hongtao smiled and said: "Come on, come on, Zheng'er, nephew Li Xian, come inside."
Several people walked towards Tingshui Villa with laughter and joy. Yun Zheng was admiring the scenery of the garden when he noticed that Ning Pengxuan beside him gently pulled Yun Zheng's sleeve.
Yun Zheng was a little strange. He turned around and saw Ning Pengxuan looking at him with longing. He asked in a low voice: "Brother Feng, are you really going to fight?"
Yun Zheng was slightly startled and said with a smile: "It's still uncertain, what?"
Ning Pengxuan said: "If there is really going to be a war, Brother Feng, will you fight?"
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "If the imperial court really needs the Yun family to fight, I will naturally fight. I am the crown prince. If I don't fight, who will?"
Ning Pengxuan was overjoyed: "Brother Feng, if you go into battle, can you take Pengxuan with you?"
Yunzheng was stunned for a moment: "You want to fight with me?"
Ning Pengxuan puffed up his chest: "A man of course has to fight on the battlefield, and living a life of fighting and fighting is the most interesting thing!"
Yunzheng's smile froze, and he thought to himself, "Really?" Why didn't I think that was very interesting? I looked at a group of grown men walking around, and when the battle started, their broken legs and arms flew away, and their intestines and brains were the same color.
, it means fart, it’s disgusting to death. I still think it’s more comfortable to live a life of pretending to be a smart guy and picking up girls...
"Ahem, regarding this issue... firstly, you are still young, so it would be inconvenient for me to take you in the army, and your father would not agree; secondly, you have not yet mastered martial arts, and you are blind on the battlefield. If anything happens,
If Brother Feng fails to take good care of you and hurts you, how do you think I can explain it to your father? Sanlai, there is no battle to fight right now..."
"It doesn't matter, Brother Feng. I can wait for the ceremony before entering the military camp, and I promise to practice my martial arts well. As for dad... If I have done the first two points, dad will not refuse... It's really not possible, Brother Feng
If you say a few nice things to me, dad will definitely agree! Then I can go to war!"
Yun Zheng was a little stunned, why does this kid yearn for war so much? Could it be that there is a war maniac in Shuishan Villa?
