Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4473 Military Reform
For his own commander-in-chief, Gao Kan both supports and admires him. Since the commander-in-chief thinks it's okay to play like this, he can play whatever he wants. Anyway, except for a few princesses of the Tang Dynasty who are considered loyal and chaste, the rest are all profligate. There is no defense in the matter of men and women. If they are in love with each other, it is really common to raise a few faces and have fun occasionally...

He took out a roster from his bosom, and handed it to Fang Jun with both hands: "This is the list of generals and schools abolished in the army after the Zuo Tunwei was reorganized into the Left and Right Jinwu Guard, especially the Zuo Tunwei. Supplement suitable generals to enter, so as to facilitate the next round of reorganization and rotation training."

If the newly formed army wants to quickly form combat effectiveness, a large number of targeted high-intensity training is the top priority, and if the army is to maintain high morale and stabilize the morale under high-intensity training, the role of middle and lower officers Can not be ignored.

Right Tunwei has been under the control of the Chai family since the day it was established, and has almost completely become the private army of the Chai brothers for so many years. Now all the officers at all levels installed by the Chai brothers have been eliminated, and there are many people who need to be replenished.

And these places are bound to become the targets of coveted and contested by many parties.

Fang Jun took the roster, opened it and looked at it, saw that the first line read "I intend to recommend Gao Kan as the General of the Zuo Jinwu Guard", and said with a smile: "You are really recommending yourself."

Gao Kan was a little ashamed, rubbed his hands, and smiled apologetically: "The general himself feels embarrassed, but the general thinks he is qualified for this position, so he has the audacity to add his name on it, and I hope the commander will make it happen."

Who can not have a progressive heart?

Now that the king of Jin was defeated, the powerful families in the world suffered heavy losses, and the surrounding barbarians hibernated far away. In the foreseeable long period of time, there will be no major wars in the empire, and it is almost impossible to rely on military merits to advance.

Right now is the best opportunity, and Gao Kan thinks that his combat achievements in the past two years are enough for him to take up the position of General Zuo Jinwuwei. Even though his qualifications may be poor, as long as Fang Jun strongly recommends him, the position is almost certain.

Fang Jun shook his head and said, "Grinding."

"Here."

Gao Kan was a little flustered, and quickly got up to fetch the inkstone for grinding.

Fang Jun picked up a brush and dipped it in ink, crossed out the son of "Gao Kan" and added the name of "Cheng Wuting". Gao Kan's face darkened and he hesitated to speak.But Fang Jun didn't even look at him. At the beginning of this line, he re-wrote the words "I intend to recommend Gao Kan as the Great General of Youweiwei to be stationed in Jinling" in the gap.

Gao Kan's heart that sank into the abyss suddenly rode the clouds and fog straight to the peak of the clouds, his face was flushed with excitement, and his lips trembled a little: "This, this, this... Marshal, this..."

Fang Jun put down his brush, took a sip of tea, and said, "The imperial capital of Chang'an, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, is certainly able to get close to the water and towers and often enters His Majesty's eyes and ears, but there are too many constraints, which may not allow you to make great achievements. On the contrary, although Jinling is remote, it is a In the center of the south of the Yangtze River, garrisoning troops there tightly controls the waterways of the Yangtze River and controls the lifeline of the south of the Yangtze River, which can deter the entire south of the Yangtze River.

For Gao Kan, he has always been good.

This person is somewhat pedantic and rarely flexible, which is a shortcoming, but his temperament is tenacious, steady and steady, and he may not have the undue courage of Xue Rengui, or Pei Xingjian's ability to plan strategies, and he is even worse than Liu Rengui. Jun is relieved, but Gao Kan is the only one to count.

It's the kind of person that as long as you arrange things, there will be no accidents...

In the future, it may not be possible to be a general or a prime minister, but it is enough to lead an army and sit in a party.

After all, there is only one Xue Rengui and only one Pei Xingjian in this world...

Gao Kan blushed with excitement, got up and left his seat, then knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "Thank you for your cultivation, Commander! The final general will fulfill his mission, and only the Commander will follow!"

He is a member of Fang Jun, and he has been cultivated by Fang Junzhi, so he naturally regards himself as a party member.

But Fang Jun frowned, called Gao Kan to let him sit down, and said earnestly: "You are grateful to me, and you obey my orders. I am very moved, but this is what I have been worried about all along. You also Well, no matter Xue Rengui, or even including Su Dingfang, Pei Xingjian, Liu Rengui, etc., the reason why this commander spares no effort in cultivating you is because of your outstanding ability, and because of your loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, not because you want to recruit you and others under your command. Form your own faction. You are the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty and the generals of the empire, not the lackeys of some people! You should be loyal to the empire and His Majesty, and put the interests of the empire above everything else, but you cannot become warlords, let alone It has become a hidden danger to the security of the empire."

Whether it is the recruitment system or the military system, the lack of supplies often makes an army a subordinate of the commander, because the commander will receive the support of local forces.However, if the commander-in-chief is in charge of an army for a long time, it is inevitable that the whole army will be filled with henchmen and eagle dogs, which will reduce the national army to private armed forces and gradually evolve into warlords.

In any era, the birth of warlords is the beginning of chaos, or even a sign of annihilation...

"Here! The final general will keep in mind the teachings of the commander-in-chief, be loyal to the empire and the emperor, and be a soldier of the empire forever!"

"I hope you don't forget your original intention!"

*****
Entering the palace from the Xuanwu Gate, although the places along the way have been cleaned up, there are ruins everywhere, the gardens are messy, the palaces are ruined, and the sight is dilapidated. To restore the damage to the original state will definitely not take a year or two.

Although His Majesty has a lot of silver and gold in his internal funds, the entire Guanzhong, including the Taiji Palace, needs large-scale repairs and constructions, which puts a lot of pressure on Fang Jun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry...

Fortunately, Li Chengqian is not extravagant. Even though the palace is dilapidated like this, he never mentioned the words of moving the capital or going to Daxing Palace to live temporarily. He stayed in Taiji Palace honestly and presided over the restoration of the imperial center. .

On the south side of the Lizheng Hall near the Qianhua Gate, there is an inner warehouse, which is the place where food is stored in the palace. There is a guard house on the outside of the inner warehouse, which has not been affected by the war, so the Military Aircraft Department has temporarily moved here to handle official business.

When Fang Jun arrived, Li Ji, Li Jing, Li Xiaogong, Xue Wanche and others had already arrived one step ahead, Fang Jun hurriedly greeted them one by one, and then sat down.

The five people here are members of the new "Military Aircraft Division"...

Although Li Jing handed over the errands of the Six Commanders of the Eastern Palace and retired from his official position, His Majesty still called him into the "Military Aircraft Department" as a counselor for military affairs. After all, this master of military affairs known as the world's number one master of strategy is unparalleled. , even Li Ji is slightly inferior.

The same is true for Li Xiaogong, who no longer holds any military positions, but his merits, qualifications, and prestige are undoubtedly the first among the royal family, and his influence is huge.

Several people sat together and chatted for a while, drank a cup of tea, and Li Chengqian, who was wearing a bright yellow robe, came quickly.

Without too many pleasantries, Li Chengqian handed a memorial to Wang De, and asked him to pass it on to several ministers, saying: "This is the memorial submitted by the Ministry of War about the garrison of the sixteen guards scattered in various places. Let's see if you can agree."

After saying that, he took a sip from his teacup.

There were not many words in the memorial, and several people quickly circulated it, and then handed it over to Wang De, who put the memorial on the imperial case again.

Li Chengqian directly called the name: "Mr. Yue first talk about whether this is feasible."

"Here."

Fang Jun responded, and said slowly: "The Ministry of War asks you to disperse the sixteen guards all over the world. From the perspective of my humble minister, it is indeed feasible. Since the founding of the country, the sixteen guards have been stationed in Guanzhong most of the time except for fighting outside. , guarding the capital, this puts a huge pressure on the logistics supply of the entire Guanzhong to the army, and half of the grain transported to Guanzhong from all over the world every year is supplied to these troops. Huge damage has been caused to Guanzhong, and the powerful families in various places have also become weaker than ever before, leading to unrest and turmoil in the states, and the dispersal of the sixteen guards to various important places can deter all parties and is beneficial and harmless."

When the Guanlongmen Clan was in its heyday, the power was in the hands of the government, and even Emperor Taizong had scruples. Therefore, it was a helpless move to place the sixteen guards near Chang'an, so that they could support Chang'an nearby if there was any trouble.

Now that the Guanlongmen faction has completely collapsed, and there is only one breath left, which is not a concern, then the sixteen guards should be transferred away from Guanzhong to reduce the burden.

Moreover, once the counties and counties in the world start to measure the acres of land, there must be people who are unwilling to stir up trouble and send troops to various strategic locations, which will greatly enhance the deterrent power of the imperial court, so that they will not dare to act rashly and ensure the political situation. Stablize.

This book was the result of discussions between Fang Jun and Li Chengqian. Cui Dunli, Minister of the Ministry of War, handed over the memorial and handed it over to the Military Aircraft Department for discussion...

Li Chengqian looked at the rest of the people and asked, "What do you love dears think?"

Who can not know that this is His Majesty expressing his own meaning through Fang Jun?

Naturally, one cannot oppose the policy, but one cannot blindly go along with it either. After all, this policy is not without its disadvantages.

Li Xiaogong pondered: "This is feasible, but everything has advantages and disadvantages. While the sixteen guards are stationed in various places to deter the world, it will inevitably lead to a situation of weak and strong branches. Two consecutive mutinies, although the cause is the intention of the aristocratic family. To overthrow the imperial court is actually because the imperial court has insufficient control over the army, if the sixteen guards are stationed all over the world, will they be continuously infiltrated by various clans, leading to another mutiny?"

The place where the army is stationed will inevitably need the local supply and supply, and once the local government chokes off the supply of the army, it is tantamount to controlling the lifeline of the army, and it is difficult for the army to obey the orders of the imperial court.

The infiltration of the army by the aristocratic family is a traditional skill. In almost every coup in the past dynasties, there are figures of the aristocratic family behind the army, which is hard to guard against...
