When Liu Che walked down the tower, he felt somewhat lonely.n∈
Among the four alternative successors recommended by Wei Shang, Xu Jin is considered one of the better ones.
He understands military affairs, can lead troops, has a reliable background and is loyal.
only……
"Lack of overall perspective!" Liu Che lamented.
Good generals have been rare since ancient times, and Liu Che also knew that he could not set too high standards!
After all, in this era where generals basically rely on personal talent and continuous training, it is a luxury to want to be like the later generations and buy ten or eight Wei Qing and Huo Qubing like cabbage on the street!
But the position in the cloud is really important!
When you open the map, you can clearly see that Yunzhong County is directly facing the Xiongnu tribe in the Hetao area.
It can be said that if the Xiongnu invaded, Yunzhong would be the invasion channel they would definitely take!
And if Yunzhong is lost, then the Huns cavalry can drive straight in, bypassing the strong defense line of the Great Wall, and go straight to Xiao Pass.
A more realistic consideration is that at present, the Han and Huns will generally maintain a peaceful situation in the next few years, and the two countries will trade with each other. In this peace agreement, the customs clearance market promised by the Han Dynasty to the Huns is basically located in Yunzhong County.
near the Great Wall defense line.
In this case, the governor of Yunzhong County is required not only to have rich military fighting skills, but also to have a keen sense of smell and tactful means.
In other words, the Yunzhong County Governor Liu Che wants to choose is a strong man who can fight on horseback, can calm the people when dismounted, and is both civil and military!
Even in the history of the Han Dynasty, there were very few talents with such qualities.
To be honest, even the current Prime Minister Zhou Yafu may not meet the conditions!
"It seems that I have to start the military academy plan!" Liu Che thought in his heart.
Through contact with many mid-level and senior officers of the Northern and Southern armies in the past six months, Liu Che probably understood that these generals basically have some abilities even if they are not capable!
However, limited by the times and their own cultural level, the vast majority of these generals can only be captains and commanders throughout their lives. If they go up further, they will be beyond their capabilities!
The reason is of course very simple.
In this era when knowledge is monopolized and military writings are considered taboo by the state.
The vast majority of generals actually rely on their own experience and past traditions to do their jobs.
Under such circumstances, you can imagine the talents who can become self-taught.
Look at the current famous generals!
Zhou Yafu's father is the famous Zhou Bo, Li Ji's father is Li Shang, and Han Dadang is not simple. His father is Han Wangxin. Let's not talk about Wei Shang. He and Uncle Tian are old brothers. The famous Zhao Guosan back then
One of the gentlemen.
Basically, now, all the famous generals and generals are honourable ministers, second generation generals or simply first generation generals.
From this, Liu Che saw a fact: in the army, the heroes and princes had the path to advancement.
These guys monopolized the knowledge of military art works. The generals and generals of the Han Dynasty to this day are basically selected from their circle.
However, most of the middle and lower-level officers, because they do not have access to more advanced military knowledge, can only spend their entire lives as top soldiers.
Later history also proved this!
Look at the Li Guang family!
Li Guang, Li Cai, Li Danghu, Li Gan, Li Ling!
And Huo Guang from the Huo Qubing family!
In other words, it is not the middle- and lower-level officers who are incompetent.
Look at the old ministers that Emperor Taizong Xiaowen brought to Chang'an from Dai!
Zhang Wu, Song Chang and even the dead Zhihou Bo Zhao.
In the beginning, they were just generals worth about a thousand stones. Once they arrived in Chang'an, in just three to five years, they transformed into generals who could command the imperial army and even command tens of thousands of troops to go on an expedition!
What is the reason for these people's success?
The answer is simple, knowledge and experience!
Huo Qubing is a good example. He was raised by Xiaozhu since he was a child. All the military books in Shiqu Pavilion are open to him.
Historical records record that after Huo Qubing died, Xiaozhu adopted his posthumous son and raised him with his own hands, hoping to create another champion. Unfortunately, the champion died on the way to Mount Tai with Xiaozhu. Otherwise, there would still be Huo Guang behind him.
What's up?
The facts of later generations also proved that famous generals can be manufactured in batches!
Whampoa Military Academy and West Point Military Academy are both the cradle of famous generals.
But Liu Che has never dared to put this idea into practice!
The reason is also very simple.
When he conducted examinations, he did not touch the interests of the princes, nobles, and ministers. On the contrary, he tried his best to accommodate their demands.
Engaging in scientific research in the Shaofu is his private domain as an emperor and will not harm the interests of any noble relatives.
But, it’s different when you’re in a military academy!
This is to break the monopoly of the feudal princes and ministers on the army. If you are not careful, these princes with guns may stage a Xuanwu Gate or seize the gate.
Don't think that the princes dare not!
At that time, Lu also thought that these guys didn't dare.
As a result, the entire Lu family died!
The Han Dynasty has been in the Han Dynasty for more than fifty years, and there are many talents among the princes who dare to challenge the emperor!
Historically, Xiaozhu dared to touch these guys because the Weihuo military relatives group had completely replaced them and completely took the gun in their hands.
As for now?
Liu Che lowered his head and thought for a while.
What he really has in hand is the Yulin Guards and the Tiger Ben Guards, plus the Weiyang Palace's own palace guards, which totals about ten to twenty thousand people.
It can be said that there is no problem with his own safety.
"It's time!" Liu Che thought in his heart.
He had also done a lot of preparatory work. For example, he once asked Luan Bu to write a book on Peng Yue's military strategy, and he also tested Li Ji and Han Daodang. None of these three generals had any objection to Liu Che's request, and even
, and once showed a very enthusiastic attitude.
In addition, Zhou Yafu and Liu Che also tried it out. Zhou Yafu is very supportive of cultivating new people.
Liu Che calculated in his mind that with the support of these generals, he basically controlled 60% of the Han army.
In Chinese history, if any emperor has controlled more than 60% of the army's guns, others can only kneel down and shout long live. Even if someone is unwilling, the wheels of history will crush him mercilessly.
into pieces!
What's more important is that after this examination, when these elected officials take control of local administrative power, even if the nobles and ministers want to take action, they may have to be corrected before they can connect with each other.
, the pavilion chief and the men were suppressed!
After thinking this, Liu Che made up his mind and told Wang Dao beside him: "In the evening, please invite the Prime Minister to the palace to discuss matters!"
On this matter, Liu Che decided to test Zhou Yafu again to make sure nothing goes wrong! (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
