Chapter 970: It's a mule or a horse

When Chen Kaizhi said this, the hall was silent.

The 20th battalion of military horses, that is, 200,000 soldiers recruited, and the original million troops were all disbanded. Apart from leaving some strong men as soldiers and responsible for the guards of the states, almost no one was left.

If so, how many people will be cut off by this military officer?

It is almost conceivable that all the original military officers may have been disbanded because the new army is a completely unfamiliar existence for traditional military officers, and everyone knows nothing about the new army.

Chen Kaizhi said again: "For the sake of these 200,000 naval and army horses, I will order the Ministry of Revenue to start counting money and grain from now on. Every year, the military expenditure, from procurement to salary, and then to camp construction, is probably 30 million taels of silver per year. Fortunately, the layoff of a large number of military horses can make the court breathe a sigh of relief. Others, I am afraid that they will have to invest more from the Ministry of Revenue to barely maintain them."

Liu Aotian said worriedly: "But Your Majesty, if a large number of military officers are removed, I am afraid that the soldiers will not accept it."

Chen Kaizhi smiled faintly: "What's wrong with being dissatisfied? If those military officers are still young and can read the text, then I will allow them to study in the martial arts hall. If they can study in the martial arts hall, they will naturally be given military positions and awarded officers. If they are old, it is not difficult, allowing their sons to study in the martial arts hall. As long as they are willing to work hard and come out as usual, they will be officers. But if there are still people who are not convinced, Zhang Chang and others will be their fate. Now... I am becoming more and more urgent. If it is not difficult for me to restructure and make it look new, then there will be a second Zhang Chang and a third Zhang Chang. Today

Zhang Chang and others came to the palace with tens of thousands of people, but what the result is that my 1,000 warrior camp will prevent them from moving forward. I want to establish a new army of 200,000, so that all countries in the world will be terrified when they hear the Great Chen New Army. Even if they gather the strength of the whole country, they will not be able to compete with the new army of the three battalions. I must ensure that within two years, even if Yan, Shu, Yue, Liang, and Chu will be united with our Great Chen, and our Great Chen can block five routes, and we can do everything we can to annihilate the troops of the five countries. I also must ensure that the newly established navy can fight the Yang water thieves and... annihilate them in one fell swoop."

Chen Kaizhi said coldly: "This is the goal I want to achieve. In this process, if anyone stops and opposes me to achieve this goal, I will kick it away without hesitation and teach him to pieces. If you can share my worries, two years later, when I am extremely strong, are you still afraid that I will treat you badly in the future? Over the years, the endless internal friction of Chen has not only exhausted the people and damaged the money, but also made my Chen's national strength weak. Now, it is time for the monarch and ministers to work together."

Liu Aotian and others were shocked.

They can imagine the blueprint drawn by Chen Kaizhi, which can start wars against the five countries at the same time and win every way. This was a fantasy in the past, but now...

There are more than 10,000 people in the Warriors' camp. Who has never seen their combat power?

Maybe...this thing can be done.

Once it is completed, what will happen to Da Chen? At that time, will he really be a guest of the world and enter the extreme? Is it still afraid that it will be of no benefit to these heroes?

Liu Aotian thought for a while and gritted his teeth: "Your Majesty has made up his mind, and the old minister should follow him. If your Majesty wants to withdraw the vassal, then the vassal will be removed. The old minister's military town is the first to be abolished. Your Majesty wants to build a new army and set up a martial arts lecture hall. The old minister has several incompetent children and grandchildren who are willing to send them to the martial arts lecture hall. If your Majesty has no choice but to discipline them, the old minister will not understand everything. You will make everything according to Your Majesty's arrangement. After withdrawing the military town, the old minister is willing to move his family to Luoyang. When your Majesty is old, it is time to live up to his age. If your Majesty is useless, the old minister will spend his old age. But if your Majesty is useful, the old minister will still be willing to work hard for Your Majesty."

In fact... Liu Aotian is a bold and meticulous person. There are many things. When he knows that the general situation is irreversible, it will not only be beneficial, but will also cause disasters. Then, it is better to just keep calm and not worry about this. First of all, express this attitude. Your Majesty at least remember this kindness.

The other governors knew that the general situation was irreversible and could not hold on to it. They all said, "I am in a coincidence with Lord Liu. I am willing to move to Luoyang and recommend my children and grandchildren to school."

The governors and commanders who came to suppress the rebellion were also looking at each other. Even the governors obeyed the orders so much. Compared with the governors, they did not have so many benefits to give up, so they followed them one after another.

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but sigh: "Don't worry, I will never treat you badly. You are all heroes of my great Chen. In the future, I will still have some things to use you. Now, if you set an example, it will be easier for this matter."

Liu Aotian sighed, but couldn't help but say, "It's just that, Your Majesty, the old minister has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Chen Kaizhi helped him up, ordered the eunuch to ask him to sit, and said with a smile: "You might as well tell me."

Liu Aotian said: "Your Majesty believes that in the former military system, if the general rebelled, the officers and soldiers in the camp also rebelled, so they need to be guarded against it. But now a new army is established, how can we ensure that the new army will not mutiny? If once the mutiny is made, the new army has strong combat power, Your Majesty... this is even more of a disaster."

In fact, his words make sense. If it is just because the military officers in the past are unreliable and they need to innovate, then will the new army be reliable?

Chen Kaizhi smiled slightly: "The new army is completely different from the former army and horses. The new army is even more expensive. Not only that, the recruitment of the former military households is no longer the former military households, but are all good families. Not only that, the ones I want to choose are people who can read and read. Even if I cannot read and read, I will know the righteousness of them, and are by no means the confused military men in the past. Moreover, the new army's supply requirements are extremely high, and it is definitely not ordinary military horses. As long as you mutiny and plunder one or two granaries, you can occupy the mountain as king. If this new army does not have enough ammunition supply, the muskets in your hands will be different from the fire stick. Regarding these, I will constrain them. Now, I need you, the old family, and you need to take action to lay off the army and withdraw the horses. Otherwise, there will inevitably be some people who are dissatisfied. Please ask the ministers to comfort them on my behalf."

Liu Aotian and others were confused when they heard this, but they just smiled. Liu Aotian felt more or less disappointed in his heart, but he still said: "I obey the order, but... the old minister thinks that although I try my best to comfort me, there will be people who will not accept it..."

A cold look flashed through Chen Kaizhi's eyes: "If there are internal conflicts, some people are dissatisfied and some are unhappy, then maybe... I can borrow externally to resolve it. This will not only suppress the unjust intentions in the court, but also shock the morale of the military and civilians in the world. Xiliang has been dissatisfied with me for a long time. Over the years, they have colluded with Yang, and I have lost patience with them. Now, I have temporarily concluded an alliance with Yiyan, Yue, and Chu, so... it is time to take action against Xiliang to shake the people of the world."

Liu Aotian couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, isn't the Warriors Camp guarding against water thieves now?"
