352: Military Reform

"All the members of the Qing family are indeed loyal to the emperor and love the court."

The emperor saw those civil servants pinching their noses in recognition, nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Lux: "Then please send the reform outline to all your ministers."

Then, the emperor looked at Kruse and Liu Xilin.

Last night, Guo Yi specially took Kruse and Liu Xilin to see the emperor, just to discuss the military reform with the emperor in private.

For the emperor, the reform of the administrative system can only be regarded as the icing on the cake...

If Guo Yi had not provided the telegram, provided some tax reforms and some administrative advantages for later generations, and had not further concentrated imperial power, the emperor would have been really reluctant to reform the administrative system.

It's not like the previous administrative system couldn't be used.

Besides, no matter how advanced the administrative system is, it is still people who implement it.

As long as you are human, you will play word games and exploit loopholes.

Nothing is perfect in the world!

This is also the reason why Lux only has an outline and no more detailed content.

More detailed things need to be supplemented and modified by the emperor and the ministers themselves, and Guo Yi and others cannot interfere.

But military reform is different...

The gap between an emperor with military power and an emperor without military power is literally hundreds of millions of points.

And the emperor who has a powerful army, and the emperor who has an army of old, weak, sick and disabled, are a few hundred million points in size.

However, the military reform plan Liu Xilin and Kruse gave the emperor was to use the emperor's military power, but also to cultivate the strongest army on land for the emperor.

It didn't directly affect the emperor's military power, but indirectly...

The people's soldiers are really the people's soldiers, not the private soldiers of certain people or groups of people.

It is their duty to defend their home and country, sacrificing themselves for others.

But he wants to commit a personal mutiny and use the army to provoke a civil war...

Believe them, whoever dares to do this will definitely kill his soldiers on the spot!

Unless someone cleanses the minds of the army from top to bottom.

However, how strong is an army that has lost its corresponding thoughts?

Please refer to the ending of a certain bald man...

At the same time, this cannot be washed away overnight...

As for the strongest army on land...

Everyone knows it!

Therefore, the emperor's military power was greatly reduced to a certain extent.

If the emperor betrays the army's ideas, he will really die!

However, there are advantages to this...

As long as they do not betray the people, there is no need to worry about mutiny no matter how stupid the emperors of later generations are.

Even those ministers did not dare to manipulate the emperor wantonly.

The interest classes they represent are completely opposite.

Once a mutiny occurs, the emperor only needs to push them out, and they will definitely die.

Even if the future emperors have the same brain as the current emperor...

Those civil servants are simply more honest than the honest middle-aged social beasts, such as framing others and diverting misfortune to others!

Essentially speaking, this is still a feudal monarchy!

Golden words are more trustworthy than any law!

Therefore, if Guo Yi did not negotiate with the emperor in advance and directly spoke on this occasion, the emperor would probably have some rift with Guo Yi.

It is more likely that the emperor took the lead in rejecting military reforms.

There are many hidden relationships here.

After Liu Xilin finished explaining the entire military reform plan, as expected, the ministers all looked at the emperor in disbelief.

The ministers' rights were dispersed and the imperial power was centralized, but military power restricted the abuse of imperial power to a certain extent...

Will the emperor accept it?

"Two princes and governors, what do you think?"

The emperor looked at the military leaders with an unchanging expression and said calmly: "If you have any opinions, please feel free to raise them."

What is the opinion of the Ministry of War?

The Ministry of War is an administrative department belonging to the civil service system. After the structural reform, there is no such department as the Ministry of War.

Therefore, the emperor looked at the military attachés quietly, without any change in their expressions, let alone any hints...

Therefore, the generals looked at Guo Yi and Liu Xilin in confusion, then looked at the emperor and fell silent.

If you don't guess the emperor's thoughts, you will die!

"Li Guogong, do you have any opinions?"

The emperor waited for a while and found that all the generals lowered their heads and said nothing, and said slightly disappointedly: "So hesitant, is this how you become the left commander of the Central Army?

On the battlefield, as you are, can you seize the opportunity and defeat the enemy?"

The emperor became more and more angry. He slapped the table, stood up and shouted at the generals: "As a governor, I don't even dare to say my true thoughts!

So what do I need you for?

What's the use of having the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army?

Afraid of life and death, dare not speak out, and this is military service...

I am so angry!"

Having said this, the emperor picked up the pen on the imperial desk and smashed it directly on Li Guogong's head: "Look at Zhijinhua, look at Bai Shixue, look at Xia He, look at Lux just now!

Look at yourselves again!

You generals are not even as good as a female figure!

As you are now, how can I believe that you can help me guard this world and protect my people?"

"minister……"

Li Guogong was slapped by the emperor, and when he saw that the emperor was really angry, he gritted his teeth and went straight out of the queue and said: "I don't understand something. I hope Mr. Liu can clarify my confusion for me."

"Hmph~"

The emperor glared at Li Guogong angrily, and then nodded to Liu Xilin: "Liu Xilin, please excuse me."

"..."

Liu Xilin and Cruze nodded, and then Cruze came up behind him with a smile and said calmly: "You can ask."

"First of all, what is the meaning of professionalization of soldiers?"

"Professional soldiers refer to..."

"How to ensure food?"

"We will provide a variety of high-yielding grain seeds and meat-eating breeding animals..."

"What should a son do if he inherits his father's legacy?"

"Joining the army is not the only way out..."

"How to solve the problem of troop supply?"

"Voluntarily join the army, compulsory soldiers..."

“What to do with retired veterans?”

"Change of career..."

"..."

Following Li Guogong, Liu Xilin and Kruse's questions and answers, the ministers' understanding of the military reform became clearer.

At the same time, as the question and answer continued, the general's mood also sank.

After such reforms, if future generations are unfilial, the so-called nobility will be a complete joke!

When you join the army, you must hide your name and climb up from the bottom, and go to other places...

It doesn’t matter whether you can climb up or not, the key point is whether you can survive!

On the battlefield, those who survive are not the strongest or the worst, but the ones with the best luck!

Only with luck can you live, and only by living can you make progress!

"I have no doubts anymore."

After the question-and-answer game ended, Li Guogong exchanged words with the emperor with a bitter look on his face: "Your Majesty, I agree with Master Liu's military reform."

"Where are your noble families?"

The emperor and Li Guogong nodded, and then looked at the other generals: "Is there anyone else in the Qing family who has any questions?"

The other generals glanced at Li Guogong and sighed secretly: "I have no objection, my ministers."

If they couldn't understand before, then after the exchange between Li Guogong and Liu Xilin, they also understood: the emperor supports military reform.

Since the emperor supports it, whoever opposes it will be seeking death.

"Since all of you have agreed, let's start now."
