To this day, Li Tong has come into contact with many times, and all kinds of people in the world are included. However, only when communicating with Wang Xiaojie, he often feels speechless. This is probably Wang Xiaojie's innate talent.

Your personal anger is worth mentioning. Then after you return to the capital, you stay at home and don’t leave? Finally, you come to the palace to see you, crying and making noise. Could it be that I forced you to say it?

Although Wang Xiaojie is often speechless, Li Tong has a bad impression of him. He was able to survive the Wu Zhou Dynasty and made great contributions. Of course, Wang Xiaojie is not stupid, but his occasionally shrewdness and clumsy spirit that he showed was not disgusting.

At least compared with most old ministers who survived from Wu Zhou, Li Tong was quite happy to get along with Wang Xiaojie. Unlike other old ministers who were cunning and had no feelings of joy and anger, at least they didn't have to think too much when communicating with Wang Xiaojie. Occasionally, he was happy to see this guy as a child of more than 200 pounds, Li Tong's mood would become much happier.

Seeing that the saint did not answer, Wang Xiaojie hurriedly said, "Is it related to Tubo when summoned by the saint? At the beginning of the year, I also heard that if the saint wanted to take this opportunity to discuss martial arts with the saint, I would not dare to quit my work! Hebei has worked hard but failed, and if he was given the order to use martial arts in Qinghai, he would definitely..."

"The affairs of the foreign countries have been sent to the special envoy. Now we call the King General to come, so we have something else to ask about."

Before Wang Xiaojie finished speaking, Li Tong raised his hand to interrupt, and then said: "Earlier, General Wang was in the Zhidongdu Political Affairs Hall, and was responsible for the relationship between the two guards. Now the military in the court is innovating, but I still want to hear the general's views on this old story."

When Wang Xiaojie heard this, he first showed a little disappointment on his face, and then he felt a little nervous after a while: "The saint asked this question, is it possible that the disaster between the two yamen still has other problems?"

Wang Xiaojie still has basic political awareness. He was the prime minister earlier and was responsible for military relations between the two yamen. That was what happened when the Prime Minister was a country. Although he was grateful to the Prime Minister for promoting him as a border general to prime minister, he also paid the price for this gratitude, so he naturally did not want to talk about this resume.

Moreover, after the saints have finally made great efforts to reform the central guard system, and the old systems of the two yamen have been abandoned. Now, when they suddenly ask such a question, Wang Xiaojie is naturally very alert.

Looking at Wang Xiaojie's nervous expression, Li Tong couldn't help but feel happy again. Although this guy was not good at hiding his emotions earlier, at least he had a curly beard on his face, but now his face was like a black and white letter to reveal his emotions directly.

"It's not a problem. I just read my old books recently and found that General Wang is quite rigorous and considerable. Although the court is committed to resting, the foundation of the country is the foundation of the country. If you forget to fight, you will be worried. Therefore, I also want to discuss with the general how to finish some of the original matters of the Guard."

Li Tong no longer deliberately kept him indifferently. Although he was quite funny when he saw Wang Xiaojie's uncovered expression change, his face was really impatient to look closely, so he directly explained his meaning.

Although the two yamen guard system has been abandoned, there are still many things to follow. After all, this is also a military system that has been maintained for nearly a hundred years. Moreover, the Beiya was still in a state of rapid development before the Shendu turmoil. The personnel issues involved are extremely widespread and need to be handled with caution.

Not to mention anything else, just how the soldiers and members of the original two yamen system should be placed is a headache. After all, these people are very professional military personnel. Once they cannot be used by the court and are trapped in the wild, it is an unstable factor in itself. If they are absorbed and gathered by some ambitious people, it will be a disaster that must be prevented.

Therefore, during this period, Li Tong has been sorting out the remains of the personnel of the two yamen with the scholars of Jiying Pavilion. This is why he discovered that the information on the documents and materials currently in the court, only Wang Xiaojie was the most detailed and referenceable during the period when he was prime minister.

Before the stable recruitment system was formed, although the foundation of the government military system no longer existed, it was still the most well-documented method for the imperial court to manage military ranks.

During the period when Li Tong and his fourth uncle were in charge of the country, although military and political affairs were messed up, as the military threat brought by the Taiwan Strait became more and more serious, a certain degree of military review was carried out, and Wang Xiaojie was the main person in charge of this series of affairs.

Since the operation of the military system, there were more than 600 Zhechong Prefectures in the world at its most prosperous moment. However, among the previously approved accounting points by Wang Xiaojie, only more than 300 soldiers have been promoted to the guards in recent years. Others have been explicitly ordered to be abolished, while some have been in name only.

The number of military officials was directly lost by more than half, and the Zhechong Mansion, which still has ten deeds, had a very serious vacancies. Originally, the full amount of troops in the palace should be between 1,200 and 1,500, but now it is good to have three or five hundred people.

However, since the reign of Emperor Gaozong, the Long March athletes began to be recruited. Although Gaozong was released from a group of people during the reign of Bintian, there were many conscripts in several years. In addition to guarding the borders, most of the remaining military ranks were also allocated to the two yamen and became registered military households, but they were different from the previous government soldiers.

Now the power of the imperial court's guards is still based on the original Taiwan army, and the acceptance of the original military personnel of the two yamen is not high enough.

In addition, when Li Tong entered the eastern capital Luoyang last year, the original military command system of the two yamen had basically collapsed. Although the court also issued edicts during the Yasukuni period and called on the officers of the various governments to return military registration, the results were somewhat poor.

After all, the original soldiers of the palace were at least supported by the Zhechong Mansion and the disabled equal-field system, but the athletes who had been recruiting for years almost did not enjoy any privileges brought by military service. In addition, the court was in a new chaos at that time, and the border situation in the north was severe, so how could the scattered soldiers take the initiative to return?

According to the military information compiled by Wang Xiaojie, on the eve of the war with the Turks the previous year, the Nanya still had nearly 90,000 soldiers. Some of this group of soldiers were sent to Youzhou, while others were assigned to Hedong Road to march north to fight against the Turks, but in addition to these, more than 50,000 A-lists were still missing.

In the past period, the Ministry of War has carefully calculated these old information. After combing them layer by layer, it has only sorted out more than 20,000 military records that can match the actual personnel. However, there are still more than 30,000 soldiers, but there are still more than 30,000 soldiers, but they are just missing the voices and corpses, and they are completely lost contact. The court has lost control of this group of soldiers.

Li Tong was not worried that this group of soldiers might gather to cause trouble. After all, according to the list, although this group of soldiers is large in number, its components are extremely complex. There are both original military soldiers and athletes recruited year by year. Their recruitment spans for 20 or 30 years, and their hometowns are also distributed in various states in the world.

Even the court, which had restored its administrative organization and dispatch capabilities, could not effectively re-incorporate these soldiers into control. If there were any opposition people who could do this, Li Tong would not only not suppress it strongly, but instead invited such talents to the court for reuse.

How much organizational and coordination skills are needed to accomplish something that a central court cannot do!

But then again, the more than 30,000 people who have disappeared were all veterans who have received regular military training and have had experience in war. They are left to be scattered in the wild. If there is still a chance of life, it would be fine. But once they are forced to make a living and become a bandit and a disaster for the sake of the people, ordinary villagers and even ordinary security personnel in the prefectures and counties may not be their opponents.

But the court could not distribute large troops for this local disturbance, constantly inspecting the prefectures and counties to set chaos, and dared not easily strengthen the military organization capabilities of local governments.

Therefore, how to effectively re-incorporate these people into the court's control is also a headache. So Li Tong wanted to understand how the original Luoyang court planned to rectify the military, hoping to be inspired and borrowed.

But unfortunately, most of the officials in charge of related matters in the Luoyang court have been killed or executed. After all, those who can take on such important tasks must be the former nobles and confidants of the prime minister. Wang Xiaojie, as the main person in charge, became one of the few survivors.

When Wang Xiaojie heard the saint asking about this question, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then he pondered and said: "It is not a short time since the military equipment of the Southern Yamen was abandoned. The old military expansion was mainly the people of the Betel Guards who were recruited after the Tianshu. Within five years, there were the names of Betel Guards, the heads of the government, the lifting of the ranks of the Ministry of War, the detailed rules of the inspection of the Ministry of War, the equipment of the Taifu and the military horse envoys, and the more than 97,600 troops of the Nan Yamen who were recruited..."

Li Tong had already understood the relevant matters, but after hearing Wang Xiaojie's statement, he nodded. This statistical method is quite scientific and comprehensive. Although the Ministry of War and the Ministry of War have both retained their household registrations, it is because the old household registration is already very watery, so the new household registration needs to be expanded. This expansion organized by Wang Xiaojie is formed by adopting the summary of information from all parties, and it is relatively more authoritative.

Of course, the so-called Nanya army had only 97,000 people, which did not mean that the Tang Dynasty had only such a little regular army at that time. The forces controlled by Xingtai at that time had exceeded 200,000. However, they did not disclose each other's military operations. Li Tong was not clear about the military management process of the court at that time, so the court naturally found it difficult for the court to obtain the military secrets of Shaanxi Road.

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaojie paused first, and then said: "After the new book was determined, there were more than 50,000 out of the family, and the court also discussed how to summon the deceased to the Wei Mansion. The Prime Minister wanted to send the governors of all routes to expand the search for the states, but because of the power of the governor, he did not dare to do it lightly. At that time, the minister of the disciple Di Renjie suggested that the military envoys be set up in major prefectures and hold the registration for the long term. However, if there were old military officials who could gather 300 deceased soldiers to return to the palace, they would reward each other, but they would not do it because they were slow to see merits and demerits..."

When Li Tong heard this, he couldn't help but sigh. His fourth uncle was too superstitious about the rule and appeal of the court, so he hoped to quickly solve the problem through the upper structure. Di Renjie was more realistic, hoping to mobilize the organizational strength of the middle and lower levels, but it was obvious that this opinion was a bit out of place. At that time, the military of Taiwan had grown stronger, and the court urgently needed to strengthen its strength and it was difficult to have the patience to accumulate merit slowly.

"I also have a deep plan here. I was born in a military and knew the suffering of the garrison soldiers. If I live as an enemy, I would have no support for my back. Therefore, the soldiers were tired of war, not because they were unfaithful to the country, but because they were worried that their families would be unsafe. But they could declare the rewards and place the lands to support the orphans and widows. For example, the old clothes club created by a saint earlier, why did the soldiers flock to the government? It was just because of the warmth of survival and reliance! "

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaojie couldn't help but sigh: "But if you make merits in killing the enemy, your family will not lose rewards. Who is willing to hide in the countryside, resist the enlistment, and survive in a miserable state? The cold soldiers may not know the general, but they will not lose their judgment of interests. As long as the reward is clear and the land is ten acres, they will be tired in the year. It is better to be brave and form a formation. After a turn of merit, the court will be in trouble!"

When Li Tong heard Wang Xiaojie's sigh, he felt speechless for a moment. The reason is this, but it is so difficult to do it. The most fundamental logic of the fateful rise and fall of the feudal dynasty is land annexation. The system of government troops was abolished, and the high cost of the recruitment system was another heavy burden.

However, Wang Xiaojie's remarks also made Li Tong realize again that the fundamental reason for strengthening the military and the country is the economic foundation. If the horse wants to run away, it must make the horse eat enough. If this premise cannot be met, even the exquisite system construction may be fooled for a while, it will eventually face backlash.

The reason why the Tang Dynasty collapsed in later generations was that there were many vassal states. Rather than saying that the governors were domineering and domineering, it was better to say that the lower will counterattacked. The brilliant martial arts were already out of touch with the interests and survival needs of the general public.

The reason why a regime can exist in a stable and stable manner is that it can represent the common interests of the vast majority of people in the region. If this cannot be done, it will inevitably lead to collapse.

The reason why Li Tong was so anxious to summon Wang Xiaojie was not only worried that the more than 30,000 lost Nanyawei soldiers might cause trouble, but also wanted to strengthen their strength as soon as possible. Although the current opinion with Tubo was to temporarily focus on diplomatic negotiations, if the conflict really intensified, the stronger the troops controlled by the court, the more strategic choices they would naturally have.

Considering the special geographical situation in Tubo, recruiting the original old soldiers naturally could form combat effectiveness faster than re-recruiting new soldiers. Therefore, re-suming the 30,000 scattered soldiers could not only avoid local riots, but also significantly increase the imperial court's military strength in the short term.

However, Wang Xiaojie's words made Li Tong's idea shake. He was not reluctant to reward and recruit scattered soldiers, but this would undoubtedly set a costly precedent for the expansion of the imperial recruitment system, and the local prefectures and counties may not be prepared to provide supporting facilities for supporting the army.

After pondering for a moment, Li Tongcai said again: "Since the military affairs of the two yamen have been rectified, it is unnecessary to leave the household registration book to force the people. The soldiers were naturalized in their early years and had the desire to serve the country. The reason why the disciples were destroyed was that the court's political unjust was the first political unjust. From this day on, the military vacant quota before Kaiyuan will no longer be pursued. All the soldiers who lost their families can go to the prefectures and counties to register their household registration for the people, and give them land in oral terms!"

"The saint is very kind and kind. I don't know how many strong men can protect their innocence and make a living with peace of mind!"

When Wang Xiaojie heard the saint say this, he was moved for a moment and bowed to the ground and shouted loudly. However, after flattering, he looked up and asked: "But if many deceased soldiers are spared, the court will inevitably lack military strength. If the border quarrels regenerate, should I still use it as a jump?"
