However, Wangfu is still of great use to him. When necessary, he will naturally block the sword for him. He said: "This move is disrespectful to the majesty of the Han Dynasty. I will question him and discuss other matters."
stop!"
"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong!" The person who spoke was Taiwei Zhang Wen. Ever since he inherited the position of Taiwei Qiao Xuan, Zhang Wen has been in charge of the military affairs of the Han Dynasty. However, he is cold and cold, and is rare among the temples.
Speaking, he actually refuted the emperor today. Many ministers secretly rejoiced. Even such a cold minister as Wang Fu and Zhang Wen couldn't stand it anymore. It was really a punishment from God!
Zhang Wen did not interact with these ministers on weekdays and rarely spoke. Of course, this was the reason why he was able to become a Taiwei. After the emperor saw him speaking, he frowned slightly. He did not want the ministers to except
Even though they agreed on anything other than loyalty, the emperor still smiled, looked at the usually cold-hearted Taiwei, and asked, "I wonder what the Taiwei has to say?"
After Zhang Taiwei entered the court, he only spoke once. That time, he asked Your Majesty to recruit new soldiers. After getting the emperor's permission, he actually recruited 50,000 soldiers. He was opposed by the ministers, especially Wen Renxi.
, the imperial court simply cannot afford to support so many soldiers. In addition, there is no need to expand the army like this. The Northern and Southern Army already has 50,000 soldiers.
Fifty thousand elites are enough to defeat any enemy. If we recruit another fifty thousand, wouldn't that put the man who has rarely become rich into financial crisis again?
Despite the full opposition of the ministers, the Taiwei continued to be aggressive. Finally, the emperor spoke. He only recruited 30,000 new soldiers. Even 30,000 was not a small number, which made the ministers a little angry at Zhang Wen.
I thought he was a traitor who ignored the people for the sake of military exploits, just like Duan Xi.
He frowned, and the emperor had never seen him open his brows. Even He Xiu would show his gentleness when facing the little fat man. Only Captain Zhang Wen never seemed to be so gentle.
Knowing what a smile was, his expression seemed to have solidified. He looked at the emperor, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, why do you want to punish the king?"
"kindness?"
"What if the Han Dynasty governor kills a few barbarians?" Zhang Wen raised his head and said proudly. The emperor looked at him in surprise. The ministers were stunned. The emperor coughed and said: "The Han Dynasty is a country of etiquette and a country of saints.
, It is against etiquette to bully the weak with the strong!" The other ministers still looked at Zhang Wen blankly. Just now, they thought that the captain wanted to share the same enemy with them. How could this happen?
Zhang Wen continued: "Hosting guests with courtesy, why treat enemies with courtesy?"
"Enemy? These people just paid tribute to the Han Dynasty last year, wrote the national document, and showed special respect to the emperor. How is this a courtesy?! It is unreasonable to hold Wang Fu like this. I have never seen such a vicious thief in my life!" Xun Jian was a little angry.
said.
"I, a big man, have the destiny to spread the words of the saint to the world!" He raised his head, looked at the emperor, and said solemnly: "Please allow your majesty, I am willing to lead 30,000 new troops to rush there. Within three months, the country will be destroyed."
Destroy the country, cut off the heads of its traitor chiefs, and send them to the king!"
The emperor seemed to have gotten to know the captain again. He was also a ruthless man. He had just trained a new army and wanted to conquer everywhere. The emperor coughed and said: "You can't raise an unknown army, let alone an army."
"This is a major matter for the country, so I hope the captain will be cautious!"
Zhang Wen then resigned helplessly, and Yuan Feng continued: "Your Majesty, Wang Fu also asked the surrounding countries to pay tribute to the Han Dynasty. If the country is not destroyed...he intends to cause war..."
"Oh, it is their blessing to be able to pay tribute to the Han Dynasty. Your Majesty, if there is a war, I am willing to lead 30,000 new kings. Within two months, the country will be destroyed and the heads of its robber chiefs will be cut off.
Send it to the king..." Zhang Wen said from the side again. Yuan Feng was furious, but did not refute. He looked at the emperor with some worry. The emperor was a wise man, but he was a little overjoyed. This is a common problem of a wise king.
He was worried that the emperor would conquer all corners of the country in order to expand his territory and raise unknown armies. This was not morally right at all!
At this moment, the lieutenant's threat in the hearts of the ministers had reached a point where it was slightly inferior to Wang Fu, and was no different from Wen Renxi. The emperor was also a little helpless, and he wanted to cut off his head if he opened his mouth before.
Yang Qiu, and now there is Zhang Wen who wants to chop off other people's heads. Not many of my ministers are normal at all!
"I will ask Wang Fu about this matter first and then discuss it!"
The emperor suppressed the matter forcefully, then raised his head, looked at everyone, and asked: "What should we do about the Northern and Southern Army?" He turned to look at Duan Xi. Duan Xi stood up and said: "Your Majesty,
Hezhou, on the side of Xinzhou, although there are many foreign enemies, none dares to invade the Han Dynasty. What's more, Dong Zhuo is still guarding Youzhou, Wuhuan, and the Xiongnu soldiers are still there, so the Northern and Southern armies should retreat..."
The most elite troops of the Han Dynasty stayed outside for three full years. This was a rare situation in the history of the Han Dynasty. Duan Xi proposed that the army return and recuperate in Luoyang, which was also a wise choice. The emperor nodded and agreed.
Taiwei Zhang Wen stood up again and said, "Your Majesty, how can we relax in military matters?"
"What do you think, Taiwei?"
"Four armies should be set up and filled with new troops to guard the four sides as standing troops. Instead of garrison soldiers, we should replace garrison soldiers!" As soon as Zhang Wen said this, no matter it was the emperor, Duan Xi, or hundreds of people in the court,
The expressions of the officials all changed greatly, and Duan Xi hurriedly said: "This is not possible. If the border guards are scattered, hundreds of thousands of Han soldiers will rebel, and the people will not need to practice in autumn, which will not be beneficial to the country."
"The four armies are recruited from the common people, rotated every four years, and the common people continue to train in the autumn!"
"With 50,000 soldiers, 10,000 will guard Hezhou, 10,000 will guard the Western Regions, 10,000 will guard Yuyang, 10,000 will guard Cangwu, and 10,000 will guard Jianwei! If there is trouble from outside, attack it with elite soldiers and behead the thieves.
Level up and send it to the king." Zhang Wen said categorically, and he explained his plan in detail. He did not want to abolish the border guard army.
He wanted to turn the border garrison into military garrison, and carry out military garrison around the Han Dynasty. There was no need to practice against the enemy. He wanted to separate military affairs from civil affairs, so that the border garrison could go to garrison with peace of mind, and military affairs would be left to the new army.
Do it. After he finished speaking, he handed the written memorial to the emperor. The emperor looked at his memorial and it seemed that he had already planned this matter.
Duan Xi became a little deep in thought. He was wondering whether Zhang Wen's suggestion was feasible. The ministers rose up to oppose it. Almost no ministers were willing to support Zhang Wen, especially after he showed an extremely strong desire for expansion. These ministers
They were even more opposed. They could not tolerate such a meritorious and warlike Taiwei to carry out his own plans.
They don't know whether these 50,000 standing soldiers guarding the four sides are to guard the borders or to conquer the four sides. If this move arouses the emperor's desire for expansion, it will be a disaster for the Han Dynasty. War-loving people will perish. Hope
