Fu'an, the chief steward of the Imperial Palace, had no choice but to step forward and salute, "Your Majesty, the Prince Consort and the Prince Consort would like to see you."
Emperor Wei paused, relaxed his mood, and waved his hand, "Let them come in."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Fu'an saluted and then left the front hall.
Not long after.
Qin Yu and Xiao Nan walked from outside the palace, "See your Majesty (Father)."
Emperor Wei nodded, "Let's all sit down."
Xiao Nan couldn't wait to say: "Father, I heard that there is a rebellion in Yuanzhou?"
Xiao Nan was particularly concerned about the war, and felt that he and the Three Thousand Battalion would finally be put to use.
When Emperor Wei heard this, he became angry again and said angrily: "Isn't that right! These stinky people! The imperial court restructured and gathered the elites from various states and counties to the imperial court and joined the Twelve Guards. The remaining local armies were basically
There are not many left, and now that the internal environment of the Wei Dynasty has stabilized, there is no need to retain so many local armies, and we will begin to disband the local armies this year."
"But these stinky Qiuba are good. They insist on refusing to leave, especially those at the rank of captains who take the lead in making trouble and launching mutinies. I am really pissed off by them!"
Qin Yu raised his eyebrows slightly as he listened, probably understanding what Emperor Wei meant.
Originally, the military system of the Wei Dynasty was to lead the army in each locality. Although the imperial court had twelve guards, the number of troops was insufficient.
After Qin Yu proposed restructuring.
Emperor Wei gathered the elites from various states and counties into twelve guards: the left and right guards, the left and right military guards, the left and right mighty guards, the left and right Xiao guards, the left and right leading guards, and the left and right Jinwu guards.
Now basically the twelve guards of Jinling City control 70% of the troops of the Wei Dynasty, and they are all elite.
In addition to the Twelve Guards, there are several main forces including the Anbei Army of Jinling City, the Three Thousand Battalion of the East Palace, the Qingzhou Army under Miao Xiangyang, and the Yulin Guard of the Suwei Palace.
Among the twelve guards, the number of Qin Feng's Zuo Xiaowei has reached 200,000. The border line of the Saala Grassland that he mainly guards is too long.
Except for the Twelve Guards and these special armies.
Then there are the local troops from various states and counties that guard the areas, basically assisting local government offices in maintaining public security.
The targets of Emperor Wei's abolition were the officers and soldiers of these local armies.
Firstly, the internal stability of the Wei Dynasty gradually stabilized, and the states and counties did not need a large number of troops to guard against anyone. Secondly, it was to reduce military expenditures. After all, raising a soldier now costs a lot of money and food.
Therefore, Emperor Wei abolished the local army to avoid redundant troops.
But these soldiers must not be happy.
Now after the military reform of the Wei Dynasty, the welfare benefits of soldiers have been significantly improved, and there are also tax exemptions and other benefits for families. The key is that the training of the local army is not heavy and the food is good.
Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the local army were dissatisfied with this.
Qin Yu looked at Emperor Wei and asked: "Your Majesty, doesn't the reduction of the army provide some compensation to the soldiers?"
Emperor Wei glared and said angrily: "Why not? The disarmament will not be completed all at once. I promised to give them three years of salary! Although it is paid gradually, it is still money! They are from other states and counties.
The soldiers are all fine! It’s just the Changyu Army from Changyu County in Yuanzhou, they’re just feeding a bunch of unfamiliar wolf cubs!”
No one in the hall spoke.
Qin Yu felt a little strange.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
After all, the officers and soldiers of the local army of the Wei Dynasty are all fine, but Chang Yu's army is special, right?
Qin Yu asked again: "Your Majesty, is there no one to talk to?"
"Why didn't we talk about it!?"
Emperor Wei's eyes widened and he said angrily: "The prefect of Changyu County sent the chief official of Changyu County to kill a captain of the Changyu Army. It's so damn hateful! I've thought about it.
Don’t even talk about it, just let Zuo Wuwei and You Wuwei destroy Chang Yu’s army!”
Emperor Wei was really angry this time.
Qin Yu felt a little abnormal when he heard it.
He has always believed that seeing is believing and hearing is believing.
Especially in this era when communications are backward, transportation is inconvenient, and the mountains are high and the emperors are far away.
Because it's true that you're doing it in disguise, you really shouldn't have to do too much to deceive your superiors or hide your secrets from others.
Even the victims of the disaster can be suppressed as mobs, what else can't be done?
"Father, send your subordinates! Your subordinates went to destroy the rebels!"
Xiao Nan stood up and asked for a fight.
Although Qin Yu had doubts, he did not speak out.
Although he said that Emperor Wei would definitely believe him, if this matter changes from encirclement and suppression to inspection, and if there is really a ghost inside, he will definitely be alerted!
So Qin Yu was speechless and let Xiao Nan do his best.
Wait until he gets to the place to investigate, so that you can find out the truth of the matter.
Although Qin Yu is not sure yet, he feels that there must be something fishy about this matter.
Listen to Xiao Nan's words.
Emperor Wei thought for a moment, looked at Xiao Nan, and asked, "Are you sure you want to go?"
Xiao Nan puffed up his chest and said, "That's natural. My son and my brother-in-law took over this task."
Wei Huang said: "Okay, then you two will lead the team."
As he said that, he looked at Sun Zhenshan, the general of the left military guard, and Zhao Jing, the general of the right military guard. "You two will lead the left and right military guards and follow the prince and the prince. Everything must be obeyed by the prince and the prince."
Sun Zhenshan and Zhao Jing stood up, saluted and said: "The last general takes orders."
Xiao Nan is willing to go.
Emperor Wei also intended to test Qin Yu and Xiao Nan, and they hit it off immediately.
Emperor Wei's idea was very simple. It would be much better for the two of them to take over this matter than to hang around and listen to medicine all day long in Jinling City.
After this matter was agreed upon, the discussion ended.
Qin Yu also took away a roster of Chang Yu's army.
Since he was left to take charge of this matter, he had to get to the bottom of it.
...
At night, the bright moon is in the sky.
Prince Qin's Mansion.
Back garden, pavilion.
Qin Yu and Shen Binglan were sitting in the pavilion, flipping through the roster.
The proud elder sister Bai Ying stood on the stone bench and closed her eyes to relax.
Not long after.
Huo Wu and Liu Jinghe appeared outside the pavilion.
"See Prince Consort, Miss Shen." Huo and Wu stepped forward and bowed.
Qin Yu nodded slightly, "I asked you to come here so late. There is something I want you to do. Tomorrow, the prince and I will lead the Three Thousand Battalion and the left and right military guards to Changyu County to suppress the rebellion. But I feel that there is something wrong with this matter.
It’s strange, so I’ll ask you two to check it out.”
With that said, he handed Huo Wu the files about the rebellion in Changyu County.
Huo Wu and Liu Jinghe started reading through it.
The content of the file is not much, but it briefly talks about the rebellion of Chang Yu's army and the heinous crimes of the leading generals.
Since Changyu County borders Liangzhou, Changyu's army is considered to be relatively large in number among the local armies. There are about 20,000 soldiers. After 3,000 elite troops were transferred, there were only about 17,000 soldiers left.
.
One general, seven lieutenants, one chief official, six civil servants, and even more captains and captains.
