Chapter 1124: It turns out he wanted to move the general
A great battle with the Japanese.
It made Li Chengqian see a lot of things clearly.
It also inspired Li Chengqian's desire to completely change this era.
Now that firearms have appeared in the world, we might as well let the rhythm of history be faster and let the wheels of history turn further forward.
But at the beginning, artillery, an ordnance battalion, and a recruitment system made the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty so resistant.
The road he has to take next will obviously not be easy.
But how could Li Chengqian's decision be delayed because of these small difficulties?
Stand up early in the morning.
Li Chengqian stands at the head of the hundred officials, behind him are Li Tai and Li Zhi who have been allowed to serve in the court. .??.??
This was also the first time Li Zhi saw Li Chengqian after he came back, so he seemed very excited.
"Brother Imperial, I heard that you won another great victory?"
Li Zhi said like a curious baby: "How is it? Have those Japanese soldiers been so frightened by the reputation of the emperor that they peed their pants?"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian smiled.
Children, they just like to ask these questions.
Li Chengqian turned around, straightened Li Zhi's clothes, and said: "Pheasant slave, brother will tell you a truth today. You must remember that you should never underestimate your opponent in this life."
"What if the Japanese army is so frightened that they wet their pants when they hear your brother's name?"
"Didn't our heroes who died on the battlefield all die in vain?"
Hearing this, Li Zhi was startled.
Although he is young, he can feel his brother's teachings to him.
At the moment, Li Chengqian said bluntly: "You can praise me all you want, but you must respect the heroes and our opponents."
Li Zhi is still young and seems to understand some of this.
At this time, Changsun Wuji, who was behind him, said directly: "What Gan'er said is right."
"Zhi'er, you must understand that no one in this world can be looked down upon, and no one can be ignored."
"You may not understand this now, but you will understand it in the future .”
After saying that, Changsun Wuji looked directly at Li Chengqian and said, "Qian'er, I heard that you are going to make a big move in the court today?"
"It's not that big."
"It's just bringing up old things again."
"Only this time..."
Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes and said, "It's no longer a test."
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji was stunned and said: "Then did you expect the result?"
"certainly."
Li Chengqian smiled slightly and said: "It's nothing more than standing on the opposite side of everyone."
"As long as you understand."
Changsun Wuji also smiled, and then said: "But don't worry, I will always be on your side."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian's eyes moved, but in the end he said nothing more.
Not long after, the palace door of Taiji Palace was opened.
As Eunuch Zhou shouted: "Hundred officials come to court!"
Li Chengqian took the lead and walked up the stairs and walked straight into the Tai Chi Hall.
At this moment, Li Shimin was already in place, sitting behind the dragon case, looking at the officials.
"My dear friends, if there is something going on, you will come to court, but if there is nothing, you will retreat."
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian took the lead to stand up before anyone else could speak.
"My son, I have something to report."
Following the words, Li Chengqian stepped out of the queue.
"Father, although our army won a complete victory in this battle, it also highlighted several problems of our army."
"The reason why the Japanese army was able to capture nearly half of the cities and territories in Henan Province in such a short period of time."
"It's simply because our troops are slow to assemble, slow to respond, and the local generals have insufficient command skills."
"That's why our army suffered such huge losses in the early stages of the war."
"If the team had assembled quickly and responded quickly,
Being able to respond as soon as the war starts."
"The result after that will definitely not be like this."
Li Chengqian cupped his hands towards Li Shimin and said, "That's why I suggest that we make major changes to the military system of our dynasty."
"From government troops to recruiting troops, when we deploy troops in the future, we no longer need to use such-and-such place or such-and-such army to indicate the number."
"In addition, generals from all over the country, regardless of official rank, must be divided into batches to come to Chang'an City for another assessment."
"Those who pass the assessment can use it."
"Those who fail the assessment will be dismissed."
After saying these words, Li Chengqian cupped his hands towards Li Shimin and said, "I hope my father will give me permission."
Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar.
Rectify the military system? Also dismiss all generals across the country?
You know, this is no small matter.
The army has been an important weapon of the country since ancient times, and it is also a great danger to the country.
If it is not handled well, it will cause chaos in the world.
At that moment, a censor stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that although His Highness's words are reasonable, they are a bit too alarmist."
"Looking at all dynasties, our military system is already the most advanced."
"Not only can the military and civilians be integrated and the common people understand the hard work of the soldiers, but it can also completely bind the relationship between the common people and the court."
"And even if we put aside these things, let's just talk about the military recruitment system implemented by His Royal Highness the last time."
The censor continued: "If I remember correctly, when the recruitment system was implemented in Liangzhou, the effect was very little."
"From front to back, the total number of registered soldiers did not exceed 20,000."
"I even made a joke about it."
"For example, when the Liangzhou Army was ordered to go out on an expedition, the local people didn't know whether they were soldiers from the government or soldiers recruited by the imperial court..."
"Furthermore, what the military talents value is not just to lead the troops to fight, but also to protect the country and the people." "Now that everything is going smoothly and peacefully across the country, why would His Highness the Crown Prince cause unnecessary disputes again?"
What he said are all facts.
It also caused a lot of discussion in the court for a while.
Li Shimin also fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he slowly said: "Qian'er, what else do you have to say about this?"
"History moves forward, not backward, so reforming the military system is inevitable."
"Today's Datang has reached this point where it cannot do anything without changing."
"After all, the current battle situation can explain everything."
"If the soldiers and horses had gathered faster, how could the Japanese army have caused trouble in the Tang Dynasty for half a year?"
Li Chengqian continued: "Furthermore, there is the problem that the gentleman mentioned just now."
"He said that the most important thing for talents in the army is not to lead the troops to fight, but to protect the country and the people."
"The following words, I admit, make sense."
"But the previous sentence is pure fart."
Li Chengqian tilted his head, looked at the generals and said, "Let me ask, among the generals around my father, is there any one of them who is not a fierce general who is accustomed to fighting?"
“What’s the use of having generals if they don’t put war first?”
"Why not just find a civil servant to go there, and still be able to protect the country and the people."
Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded.
"Well, you are right."
"But it sounds like you want to change the country's generals."
To be honest, Li Shimin thought about the military system, and Li Chengqian himself admitted it.
However, Li Shimin really did not expect that Li Chengqian would talk about abolishing the generals across the country.
As mentioned before, this is not a trivial matter, and it may cause chaos in the world.
And it was only at this time that he understood what Li Chengqian meant by the chaos that was no less than the chaos of the family...
