Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Three hundred and fifty balance

The sullen Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, seeing that the current Empress of the Tang Dynasty and the current Prince's Royal Highness did not agree that he sent troops to restore Persia, so he took a sip of tea, but his mind was involuntarily placed in the Liaodong area!

Anxi won't let me go, then Liaodong Headquarters, right? Today there is still a continuous battle there. Since this year's Datang Soldier, the battle has not been finished yet, so can I go to Liaodong?

Angrily glanced at the mother and son. Li Zhi thought about it, but first, he pressed his mind and asked Li Hongdao: "Today you are in the courtroom, and the papers given to me a few days ago are all How confident are you now about the recruitment of soldiers?"

Looking at Daddy Long who was no longer angry, Li Hong immediately came to his mind, so he asked how the Ministry of War will vigorously improve the treatment of the Datang Army next year, and how the Ministry of War will publicize the recruitment system, publicizing the generous treatment of the recruitment system for participating families, etc. Tell Li Zhi one by one. .

Li Zhi nodded his head after listening and looked at Li Hong with piercing eyes. This recruiting system was not adopted by the Tang Dynasty, but was limited to the Jinwuwei guards in Chang'an, and the rest were still using the army. system.

However, Li Zhi ignored the large consumption of white flowers, but it does not mean that Wu Mei can also ignore this important reason.

"How much money will the Ministry of War have to spend this year? Isn't the six to seven hundred thousand troops so easy to feed?" Wu Mei asked softly.

"Money is not a problem, the problem is that there is no money. Oh, it's not right, right? I have been used to wrangling with Hongyu Temple these past two days, and this sentence has become a conditioned reflection. Father, mother, queen, how much do I have now? Except for the fact that there are more soldiers, more money and more people, so the money is definitely not a problem, and it is normal to spend a little money on the soldiers and the important affairs of the country, right?" Li Hong said with a smile.

Currently, Datang has a total of 634 Zhechong Mansions, but in Guanzhong occupies 261, and the rest are scattered in other roads. Each Zhechong Mansion is divided into three classes according to their strength. , There are 1,200 people in Shangfu, one thousand in Zhongfu, and 800 in Xiafu. During the war, the forces of these Zhechong Mansion were concentrated and then fought. Each Zhechong Mansion was like a barracks.

It’s just that the soldiers will not really stay in Zhechong Mansion, but they need to work together like other people when there is no war. Only during war will Zhechong Mansion gather them and bring their own dry food. Going to fight on the front line, in this way, naturally saved Datang absolutely a lot of money.

According to Li Hong’s calculations, all Zhechong Mansion combined with Chang’an’s permanent troops, basically the number is around 700,000. Such a figure is enough to compare with the time when Grandpa Emperor was alive, the most prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty. Troops.

In recent years, with the continuous campaign, Zhechong Mansion has not been able to get enough supply of soldiers. The actual number has dropped to about 400,000, and the combat effectiveness is obviously incomparable to the original, but it is no problem to persist for a few years, so this This also resulted in the subsequent Datang's passive decision to change the military service system.

Young and middle-aged people between 20 and 30 are Li Hong’s recruiting range. Further up, according to Li Hong’s statement, after the age of 30, a lot of grandfathers are now in the prime of the Tang Dynasty. Prosperity, should not let the elderly continue to fight on the battlefield.

Li Zhi thought for a long time and asked: "Even if the Ministry of War can complete the recruitment system within three years, what about the people you choose from the army? Don't forget, although they are older , But his rich combat experience is sometimes far more threatening than recruits who have never been on the battlefield."

"Father, wise, you have come up with this question for a long time...Ouch." Li Hong scratched his head, this guy, after training, he is really strong and feels pain. All.

"Now I have the Imperial College, Hongwenguan, and Chongwenguan in Datang. After the Chinese New Year, Lantian County will also build the first specialized medical school in Datang. Regarding these elder soldiers, I think , It is entirely possible to build one or two military academies in other counties around Chang'an. Those who used to fight on the battlefield but are now infirm can give newcomers some knowledge of the battlefield. Does this not solve the problem of their talents being wasted? You can also ask them to serve as advisers in wartime... Oh, as an aide to assist the generals leading the war, they only have the right to make suggestions but no decision-making power, how about it?" Li Hong had thought about these issues a long time ago. Once again, it would be better if you could get the full support of Dragon Father and Dragon Mother.

"That..."

As soon as Li Zhi's eyes rolled, he heard his filial son say: "Shenjiying, don’t worry, you are still in charge. Just like Jinwuwei, the number has been controlled at 20,000, absolutely You won’t exceed this number. For every troop’s expedition, you can equip them with or without a sacred battalion according to the place of expedition. This is your business and has nothing to do with your minister.

Li Hong naturally knew in his heart that since their return to Chang'an, Father Long and Mother Long had not specifically asked themselves about the occurrence of so many thunders in Tubo, just waiting for them to call them out.

After all, Tianlei is now known as a god, and even according to the idea of ​​Dragon Father, he wants to fire a firecracker like later generations, thinking that he will throw a few sky thunders in the white food and Tocharo, and then they will surrender. , So it helped Belous to restore the country.

But how easy is the restoration of the country? Throughout history, has any country been able to successfully restore the country with few victory when the general situation is gone? Doesn't it seem? After all, the decline of a dynasty is not only about whether its soldiers are strong or not, but also whether it is stupid or not. It also depends on the people's will. If the people's will is gone, no matter how strong you are, it may be difficult for you to successfully restore the country.

Li Zhi and Wu Mei looked at each other. The knowing eyes Li Hong didn’t see. Shenjiying was too sensitive. If he was still holding it in his hand, between himself and Dragon Father and Dragon Mother , There will always be a trace of estrangement and defense. Since I have no ambition to usurp the throne, it is better to hand it over to let Dragon Father and Dragon Mother rest assured, and let ourselves relax, right?

And my current Shang Shuling, Anxi Daduhu, and Jingzhaofu Yin were actually handed over to Liu Rengui after Shenjiying returned from Anxi, and then Daddy Long and Long Ma really agreed. He gave himself a Shangshu Order without depriving him of other official positions.

One emperor and one empress, after learning about the appointment of the new Shangshu Provincial Shangshuling, after the reform of the Ministry of War did not make them too worried about misbehaving, they also let go of their hanging hearts and let them The two were delighted that the prince's open attitude towards Shenjiying made them feel relieved.

As for the reforms of other ministries, you can ask them slowly in the future, and help him to check, don't let him enter too rashly.

And both of them knew that from Li Hong’s reform of the Ministry of War and his usual actions, it was possible to analyze that every step of this little **** was actually carefully planned, and sometimes their Worry is a bit redundant.

The Ministry of War is the top priority for Li Zhi and Wu Mei. After learning about Li Hong's decision, they naturally stopped talking, but the two didn't know that Li Hong hadn't paid much attention to the Ministry of War.

His thoughts are all spent on the officials who have not touched them until now. As one of the six branches of Shangshu Province, he is in charge of the appointment and dismissal of officials from Tianxia. The reform of this organization is better than The Ministry of Defense is much more dangerous. After all, the most difficult thing to conquer and consider is the human heart.

"Okay, it looks like the New Year's Eve is here. As Shang Shuling, you are also very busy. And your Eastern Palace. Now there are a lot of people coming and going, and there are many people every day. Go back, this palace I won’t leave you to eat in my harem...No, what’s your expression, little bastard? Is your Donggong out of food?" Wu Mei squeezed a smile, so she looked at Li Hong, whose entire face collapsed, faintly. Said.

"Father and queen treat children like this..."

"Let’s go, if the queen talks about it, why don’t you leave now? What are you doing here? The harem is my harem~IndoMTL.com~ It’s not bad to let you in and out, let’s go, I will have dinner with your mother Li Zhi was relieved, and what he said was righteous, and it made someone more sad than the Queen's teasing.

Li Hong stared blankly at the two people who had killed the donkey, with a look of grief and anger but nowhere to vent, so the appointed salute said: "Yes, the child minister retires."

Just after someone dragged his sad back for two steps, he heard Wu Mei say behind him: "Wait a minute."

"Oh, let me just say it, the queen certainly won't let me go back like this. What are you eating for lunch today?" Li Hong was overjoyed, turning around and smiling immediately.

"Li Hong, you think too much, I just want to say, take Li Lingyue back to your east palace together."

"No, mother, I am in the court today. I didn't intend to **** off my father. You can't avenge your children so nakedly." Li Hong cried out.

"Huh? Who wants to retaliate against you? According to the Tang law, can the prince stay in the harem without problems? In addition to asking the emperor and empress, Tang law has regulations for you to stay in the harem? Look, let me see which one is so stipulated..."

"Okay, I won't go to court tomorrow, my son may feel cold and unwell, so I will ask for leave."

"What are you little **** doing? I can't tell you anymore? Are the wings stiff?" Li Zhi looked at Li Hong's decisive back, and finally smiled.

"Tomorrow, the minister is going to visit Xu Jingzong, but also to Taiyi City, Bai Chun’s parents, An Xiaohe’s mother, I haven’t seen yet. It’s the New Year, I have to go to Taiyi City too A circle." Li Hongjian's voice gradually weakened from a distance.

"Yeah... the emperor is awesome, I will go to Taiyi City with you tomorrow, okay..."
