Chapter 732 Pathfinder Stone

"Come here, help me send these three letters to Marquis Di Dao, Marquis Yinshan and Marquis of the Great Sect and Chief Jiang Bu's mansion!"

After returning to the backyard, Chen Xu quickly wrote three letters in the study, sealed them with his own stamp, and asked the butler to arrange for someone to send them out.

Since the emperor had seen the world map and even accepted that the earth might be in the shape of a ball, some of the news might be revealed in the court in the next few days, at least in the court's agenda for matters about the Western Regions countries to discuss the conquest strategy.

When eating steak today, Chen Xu clearly reminded the emperor that the Western Regions are different from the Central Plains, the situation of the Qiang, Rong, Hu and Man is mixed with complex conditions, and the land is wide and the population is sparse to conquer. In addition, it is still slowly eroding the Baiyue, so the current development of the Qin Dynasty should be focused on the domestic development. First, solve the old and young people in the six countries and develop people's livelihood. While accumulating strength, you can send soldiers to slowly advance to the Western Regions.

This time is the same as dealing with Baiyue. There is no need to worry. Use the strategy of training to continuously penetrate into the Western Regions. It may take eight or ten years. Once all the countries in the Western Regions are conquered, the Qin Dynasty will also obtain a powerful army of battles. When facing powerful Western countries in the future, it will have sufficient experience and strong combat power.

Since we are going to start to manage the Western Regions, the disarmament is imminent, and the problem of staying and leaving 300,000 soldiers in the northwest needs to be resolved in advance.

Only by constantly getting rid of the heavy burden can Daqin go into battle lightly.

Jiang Hu, Li Xin and Jiang Bu are the way to explore Chen Xu's disarmament.

No matter what the emperor thought, disarmament reform must be promoted. If it cannot be pushed, the Qin army will become more and more bloated, and the people will be under greater pressure. It can be said that improving people's livelihood and developing the economy will be difficult.

Chen Xu, the army that was dismissed, had roughly some arrangements.

The elderly, weak, sick and disabled must be the first to be discharged and sent back to their original homeland and real estate to become civilians based on military merits. Moreover, most of the 300,000 soldiers were old Qin people, and their original homes were in the Guanzhong area of ​​the northwest, and they basically had no effect, but they could still become an important force in maintaining rural stability.

The second is young and strong people, who can be divided into several parts.

After the construction of Dongfang Road is completed, a highway police force will be formed to patrol and maintain the safety of the entire Dongfang Road. It is also responsible for protecting the logistics market and service stations. A police station is set up in each place to manage the safety of business travel between Dongfang Road. It can also assist local government offices to inspect and hunt criminals, and its positions are equivalent to those of later traffic police.

Of course, Dongfang Road is just a road after all, and the number of people that can be arranged is very limited, estimated to be only two or three thousand. Therefore, more people will be dispersed to the grassroots level of the county and county in the Qin Dynasty to enrich the security forces at the grassroots level, set up police forces at the county and township levels, and redeploy the positions of county magistrates and county magistrates to distinguish the security affairs that were originally required to be in charge of everything. County magistrates and county magistrates only need to take charge of soldiers and be responsible for suppressing ill-gods such as large-scale riots and rebellion. More security tasks are handed over to the police, and the township vassals will be changed into grassroots police stations, no longer participate in military tasks, and they will be divided into county magistrates or county magistrates directly to be directly controlled to separate from the army, so that they will not be vague in responsibilities and powers.

This part of the country can accommodate at least 100,000 people. As the territory of the Qin Dynasty continues to grow, more people will be needed in the future. Now the Qin Dynasty has changed from 36 counties to 38 counties, with more than 30 counties. Moreover, as the territory that erodes Baiyue becomes larger and larger, the number of counties set up in the future will increase by at least 100 counties. Even if a county only plans to build 200 soldiers and 100 policemen, the number of people needed nationwide will be more than 200,000.

Although the soldiers who were laid off seem to be still consuming food and pay, they are no longer the same as the army that specializes in garrison. At least the food and pay for these people have been solved in local counties and towns, and there is no process of transportation or consumption. Moreover, after these people are arranged, they will also have to distribute land and real estate in the local area. They are in the semi-cultural farming model, and they can both have food and pay and farming. Moreover, they will gradually integrate with the local people and become a super powerful force to stabilize the grassroots.

In the end, some young and brave soldiers and veterans with rich combat experience will be formed into several new troops, under the jurisdiction of the Northwest Military Camp, with horses and pawns as the main ones, infantry as the auxiliary ones, and assisted in the border defense, and at the same time, they can also manage the surrendered Hungarian and Hu tribes.

Chen Xu's idea was that the Northwest military camp only needed to retain less than 50,000 troops at most. To make those who really stayed, they were brave and good at fighting soldiers and generals. There was no need to defend the Northwest. The important thing was to prevent domestic changes.

As for the troops that were conquering the Western Regions, Chen Xu, according to the current situation, only less than 20,000 people were needed at most. With the equipment of stirrups, saddles, strong bows, crossbows and steel weapons, the combat effectiveness of 20,000 people on the grassland was definitely more than 200,000 infantry. With the assembly and charge, there is no army of any country on the entire earth to stop it. It can be called a god block, killing gods, Buddhas, and crushing all races without consent.

Chen Xu sat in the study and wrote down his strategies for disarmament and preparation for the new army in detail.

As long as Jiang Hu and Li Xin and others proposed disarmament in the court, it would inevitably cause an uproar. Almost all civil and military officials in the court would not and dare not support their proposals. However, the significance of disarmament is not without merit, because Chen Xu had told Jiang Hu and Jiang Bu and Li Xin through two conversations and letters that Jiang Hu and Jiang Bu and Li Xin had each proposed very sufficient reasons for disarmament. The emperor could not completely ignore it and would definitely convene the royal family and the dependent princes and princes and ministers to discuss.

Chen Xu is also a very important consultant.

Moreover, based on the emperor's keen intuition and control, it is inevitable that this disarmament matter is related to Chen Xu, so he will naturally invite him to discuss it.

Sure enough, two days later, after discussing the affairs of the three provinces and six ministries, Jiang Bu was the first to stand up to propose a memorial to abolish the Northwest Army.

The memorial immediately ignited the court like a fire, causing a violent turmoil. In particular, the left prime minister Li Si directly stood up for reprimanding Jiang Bu for his sinister intentions and disregarding the safety of the Qin Dynasty. Many princes and ministers also stood up to accuse the disarmament of the army. Some officials from the Ministry of War directly impeached Jiang Bu in the court with bad intentions and shaken the foundation of the country, demanding that Jiang Bu be taken away from his title of chief of the great prince to be demoted to a commoner to face the hearing.

Although Jiang Bu is only one step away from the marquis, this step is almost indefinitely. At present, there are dozens of marquis among the civil and military officials in the court, and there are more than a hundred high-ranking masters above Zuo Shuchang and above. Therefore, Jiang Bu, the newly rising guy, did not even see the military general. Although he felt inexplicably the fatal memorial suddenly proposed by Jiang Bu, the young man, but he sat on the chair to watch the ending with a happy attitude, but all the civil officials were instantly as if they were furious.

The current civil officials in the Qin Dynasty were different from those in later generations. They thought they were all counselors and retainers of the emperor. Naturally, all the starting point was to rule the Qin Dynasty for the emperor. Although they also fought for power and profit, they had not yet reached the point of excluding military generals and suppressing the army to improve their power, because many civil officials could actually lead troops to fight, such as Meng Yi, Li Si, and Feng Jie, who once led the army to kill the enemy. Just like the disciples of the Hundred Schools of the Qin and Han Dynasties, they were also martial and very barbaric.

Therefore, in response to the disarmament memorial requested by Jiang Bu, almost all officials from the three provinces and six ministries in the court jumped up and scolded Jiang Bu. There were even many people rolled up their sleeves and waved their tablets to beat Jiang Bu and killed this traitor of the Qin Dynasty hidden in the court. Some even began to dig out the family history of Jiang Bu. It was confirmed from the eight generations of ancestors that Jiang Bu was actually an evil person among the first six countries. The purpose was to overthrow the Qin Dynasty and to rebel. They had to first break the car and then cook it in a pot. From the body to the spirit, they had to completely crush the anger of the civil and military officials in the court and the people of the world.

Looking at the dozens of officials who were rushing toward each other with turbulent feelings, and looking at the curses and rebukes that were so ferocious that they fell down like rain, Jiang Bu was so scared that both of them were trembling constantly, and his face was pale at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne.

Qin Shihuang held the armrests of the dragon chaise tightly with his hands, his face so serious that it was chilling.

Jiang Bu felt desperate in his heart in an instant.

I thought it was just a very simple memorial, but I didn't expect it to be like poking a hornet's nest.

Moreover, this proposal seemed to make the emperor angry, because the eyes staring at him seemed to be burning with flames. Jiang Bu felt that his soul was about to be scorched by the flames.

The court is so terrible, even more terrifying than facing the Hun army with tens of thousands of strong soldiers and horses.

Facing the barbaric Hun army, as long as you are strong enough, brave enough, and sharp enough, you will definitely become the winner after laughing.

But in the court, there are only a group of ministers who seem to be powerless and an emperor who seems to be calm on weekdays. However, any of these people may completely kill him with just one sentence, and then crush him into dust like a crusher.

The beads of sweat the size of soybeans on Jiang Bu's forehead rolled down his slightly trembling cheeks and fell to the ground with crackling sounds.

The official title that I had worked hard and finally exchanged for with my life seemed to be completely ruined.

He even began to regret that he shouldn't have been wading through this muddy water with Qinghehou.

But at this time the words have been spoken, and it is impossible to take them back.

Jiang Bu secretly turned his head and looked at Li Xin and Jiang Hu, and found that they were also secretly wiping the sweat on their foreheads.

"It's over, I'm going to die today!" Jiang Hu wailed in his heart, and instantly felt like his soul fell into an ice cave, and he had even smelled the breath of death.

The court was hustle and bustle, but the emperor sitting on the dragon throne did not lose his mind because of his anger. As the quarrels and scolding became more and more fierce, Jiang Bu stood in front of his seat and his head became lower and lower. The emotions on Qin Shihuang's face slowly calmed down, and then he picked up a piece of agarwood and gently knocked on the imperial desk.
