Chapter nine hundred and sixty seventh arrangement

The grass grows and the birds fly, and the plums and rains continue.

Logically speaking, such weather is not suitable for war, and for the emperor, it is not suitable for the rule of law.

In such a centralized era, the emperor was almost a symbol of the whole world. If he was defeated in power, he would almost damage the prestige of the entire court, which was really unsuccessful.

However, it is now the Five Dynasties, which are different from the past and later dynasties. This is an era when the monarchy is declining and the military is strong.

In other words, in the Battle of Xiangzhou, Li Jia was worried about handing over so many imperial camp troops to one of her commands, and she didn't want to make herself staggered in the Battle to Destroy Song.

If it is absent, it will hurt the emperor's prestige and will further encourage the general's prestige.

For example, with Guo Rong's great talent and strategy, he participated in the expeditions of Huainan, the Northern Han and Yan Yun, and personally fought. Except for the four prefectures of Qin and Feng, he participated in almost every war in the Later Zhou Dynasty.

The centralization and prestige of the court in the Later Zhou Dynasty were actually based on Guo Rong's battles in the south and north, and almost every year was the battle.

It was not that there were no famous generals in the Later Zhou Dynasty. Nowadays, the generals and officers of the Northern Song Dynasty were all left behind by the Later Zhou Dynasty. Instead, Guo Zong wanted to remove the firewood from the cauldron. In other words, he snatched the military achievements with the generals, thus preventing the appearance of warlord leaders in the imperial guards.

Obviously, he succeeded.

After he died of hard work, no one could have great prestige, and the imperial guards were in a mess.

However, Zhao Kuangyin was unique.

He was not as prestige alone, so he united a group of brothers to form an offensive and defensive alliance to jointly seek to seize the country, which is the famous "Ten Brothers of Yishe" in history.

The ten people combined together mean half of the imperial guards and have the power to subvert the Later Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin saw the reproducibility of this situation, released military power with a cup of wine, and drove all the imperial guards to the place, either balancing the vassal states or resisting enemies, such as the Northern Han, Dangxiang, and Khitan.

Zhao Kuangyin's case is too terrible, and Li Jia is still scared.

Therefore, he made the imperial guards more fragmented.

There is a large battalion for every 10,000 people, with two deputy admirals and commanders. One battalion has four armies in front, back, left and right, and each army has only more than two thousand people.

There are military police departments for rewards and punishments, and there are supplies and supplies. The power of generals should be reduced as much as possible.

However, the army is different from the officialdom. To some extent, it is more closed, conservative, or more important in emotions and loyalty. The soldiers respect and obey the generals who lead them to victory. When their prestige reaches a certain level, they will crush the rules.

Li Jia thought in his mind that if the Imperial Camp, led by Pan Chongche, captured Xiangzhou, and then marched into Luoyang, joined Zhang Weiqing in Guanzhong, and headed east to Bianliang.

The great prestige of destroying the country was acquired by Pan Chongche. What will happen to him as an emperor?

The Northern Song Dynasty was not Shu Kingdom, the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the Wu Yue Kingdom. This was the final decisive battle, and Li Jia did not want to deal with others.

The prime ministers looked at each other, and the emperor compared himself to Guo Rong, but you may not have the ability of Guo Rong!

But due to the sensibility, everyone could only think twice and dare not speak much.

"I understand what you mean!"

Li Jia shook her head and said, "Pretending to understand if you don't know, I'll be blindly commanding in the last days. I'll just sit in Jingmen and boost morale."

When everyone heard the emperor's self-knowledge, they breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, what should these memorials from the court?

Or let a prince supervise the country.

Damn, isn’t this just worrying that I will become a new emperor?

Although he knew it was a legitimate word, Li Jia still disliked and said, "You can let the queen supervise the country, be virtuous and kind, and have been in charge for many years. I think there is nothing wrong with it."

Unexpectedly, the prime ministers reacted more fiercely. They expressed their opposition sincerely, and even vaguely mentioned the name of Empress Wu, hoping that the emperor would be afraid of it.

The old minister Sun Guangxian was old and was not afraid of the future. He directly said: "The harem interferes in politics, this is the way to cause disaster, and you must not do it!"

Of course, Li Jia knew in her heart that with the enthusiasm of Queen Zhou Yinger to love books and stay at girls, she would definitely not be able to do it as Wu Zetian. But she was afraid of everything, and women were emotional and often had a lot of scheming in crisis.

Therefore, in order to ensure the stability of the rear, Li Jia bluntly said: "I am in Jiangling, not far from Changsha. Military and national affairs can be directly passed on to me. Other small matters should be decided by the Political Affairs Hall!"

"No--" Zhao Cheng agreed happily, he, the prime minister, has the most responsibilities.

"However, the most important thing for the imperial court is to ensure the supply of military rations. When summer is received, it is also necessary to ensure the collection of summer rations."

"Yes--" All the prime ministers responded.

Soon, the Ministry of War issued an order to transfer, and with the emperor's decree, the Imperial Camp immediately followed the commander of the 50,000 troops and sent 40,000 people to the north to accompany the imperial guards.

The Imperial Camp Command is responsible for the daily training of the Imperial Camp Forces, while the local government is the Military Metropolitan Division, but none of them have the power to dispatch troops. The dispatch of more than a hundred people requires approval from the Ministry of War, and the local government needs the nod of the prefecture and county officials.

Then, from the three prefectures of Lingnan, 10,000 people were dispatched north to guard Changsha.

As a result, the capital was shocked.

The emperor has been in Changsha for five or six years, and he left the command of his troops for the first time. Everyone knows that this is the turning point of the war.

Of course, after these daily reports, good news was announced but bad news, and worries were turned into good news. All the people in the capital believed that the Tang Dynasty won the victory.

Some people who were so sarcastic in their hearts were thinking that the emperor was trying to seize the merits.

The capital city has a profound impact. The imperial camp has all been released, so it is naturally necessary to appease the people's hearts.

The emperor directly took out 400,000 guan of money and silk cloth from his inner treasury to inspire the morale of the army.

Now, the families of 40,000 soldiers in the Imperial Camp had a large sum of money, and the market was rare and abnormal and prosperous, and they bought a lot of goods.

This is still the folk. Li Jia's harem and more than a dozen concubines also need to be comforted one by one. Even if two or three thousand do it for a night, it will take seven days.

At this time, the supplies had arrived, and the Imperial Camp also took leave in batches and everything was ready.

The emperor met all the concubines in person.

Now, it was so messy and crying.

There are about seven or eight princes and princesses who can walk, but there are about ten people who cry and eat, and they are held by steamed buns. When they meet their father before going to war, Li Jiaze's brain hurts.

There are too many princes and princesses, and he can't recognize which one it is at all, and even naming a name is a difficult problem.

This is not because the royal family has become weaker. Love has boundaries and many people are divided. His full fatherly love is completely inseparable for these children.

"It will be easier to distinguish when you grow up, look different and have different personalities."
