Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly, and he said in a deep voice: "Ah Shou, haven't you ever understood that this kind of soldiers are generals who only recognize the generals and not the court, and then garrison and settle in a place, and then occupy the local area?
The fields and industries will eventually become too big to be lost. From generals to soldiers, they will become a whole with interests, and then respond to a hundred responses, and they can start armies at any time to cause chaos. Is this the fundamental reason why our Jin Dynasty has been experiencing continuous civil strife and the weakness of the central government for hundreds of years?"
Liu Jingxuan was a little surprised. He had never exchanged these words with Liu Yu like this. He looked at Liu Yu and said: "But this is not only our Beifu Army, it has been formed even before the Jin Dynasty crossed south, even in the Soochow period.
It’s customized. Soldiers are settled in the garrison and serve in the army for generations. Even if it’s the Beifu Army, doesn’t it select soldiers from Jingkou? Is there something wrong with this model?”
Liu Yu sighed: "Although we are from Jingkou, there is a big problem with this model. The reason why there has never been a situation where the army dominated by Jingkou people rebelled and rebelled is because we Jingkou people join the army.
They are loyal to the imperial court. Every time they go to war, they only temporarily send generals to lead the troops. Usually, the head of a big family takes command as the general, and then selects a few generals who are former refugee commanders, or their own family generals to lead the troops. We Jingkou people
We are not familiar with these generals who are temporarily leading the army. They do not live in Jingkou and have no friendship with us. Even if they want to rebel, we will not follow them because the people of Jingkou know that it is the country and the court that can do it.
The commander can move us, not a temporary general."
"So before Xie Xuan formed the Beifu Army, we Jingkou Laotie formed an army and went on many expeditions, but it was because the generals who came to command were often not good enough, or simply came from a family like Xie Wan who had no knowledge of military affairs and regarded the soldiers as servants.
My son, as a result, the soldiers and generals will resent each other, just like Yu Yue did, and the battle will only end in defeat."
Liu Jingxuan laughed: "So it's Xie Xuanli who hired my father, who was in the Huaibei village and was fighting with the Hulu at that time, and other village leaders to serve as generals with their combat experience.
Then use the brothers in the village as junior officers at the grassroots level to strictly train the new recruits recruited from Jingkou, such as you and Xile. Of course, I can be regarded as re-enlisting in the army, but at first they said they wanted me to directly serve as my father's Chinese army guard.
Lieutenant, after hearing your name, I wanted to come to the recruit camp to see what the best guy in Jingkou is like."
Liu Yu nodded: "You have accumulated combat experience in Huaibei, while we have relied on the martial arts practice of the past generations in Jingkou, as well as the combat skills taught since childhood by veterans returning home from the army, plus the fighting in Jingkou
In the conference mode, we are ready for war at any time. It can be said that we are all elite soldiers who can be recruited and can fight. What we need is a general who can integrate everyone and exert combat effectiveness. Xie Xuan is a rare person in the family.
Generals, and your father, Uncle Zhong and the others are very good middle-level generals and can train soldiers who are as good as tigers and wolves, so that’s how the Beifu Army came into existence.”
"However, this model has hidden dangers. Although the previous Beifu Army had poor combat effectiveness because the soldiers and generals did not know each other, and the Northern Expedition often ended in disastrous defeats, at least there was no risk of warlord separatism. However, in Xie Xuan's era,
The Beifu Army has become the private property of the Xie family. Even I am taking orders from Xie Xuan, and you and your father are completely dependent on the Xie family. If it weren't for the mafia's mischief, they deliberately caused Xie Xuan to lose almost all his money during the Northern Expedition.
All veterans of the Beifu Army, I am afraid that the Xie family will soon use the Beifu Army to seize power, or even proclaim themselves emperor, because now we know that the Xie family is not so loyal to the country, and it can even be said that they have already formed an alliance with Tiandao at that time
, there is a deep connection.”
Liu Jingxuan gritted his teeth: "We used to think that the Xie family, Mr. Xie An, and Marshal Xie Xuan were all loyal ministers and good people who cared about the country and the people. Now that we think about it, we are all pawns for them to use!"
Liu Yu sighed: "They have always had power, but if they have great power and hold it for a long time, they will lament that life is short and want to have these powers for generations. This is why Xie Xuan, as a famous general of the generation, will eventually degenerate into
I am still not sure about the reason why Tiandao Alliance is the big devil, and Xie An’s relationship with Tiandao Alliance. I hope he just wants to make a difference in the mafia. However, even Xie An may want to form the Beifu Army.
He wanted to get rid of the restrictions and restraints imposed on him by the guards of the other three families, and he wanted to dominate the family, so he fell in love with your father. But in the end, he saw that your father also had power and ambition, so he turned to me."
Liu Jingxuan said sternly: "Because you sent slaves and devoted yourself to the country, and only wanted to go to the north to expel the Huru. You are the purest and noblest person. This is the person the Xie family wants to lead the army. Their nephews are not willing to join the army and endure hardships."
, risking their lives, so they have to find an agent like you who is obedient and easy to control. However, they made a mistake. That is, you, Liu Jinu, are devoted to the country, not to the Xie family, and to be the Xie family.
When they start to become an obstacle to your ideals, you will also become their enemy."
Liu Yu nodded: "So, in the end, I broke up with Xie Xuan. Even my fundamental purpose is to make the aristocratic family headed by the Xie family no longer able to ride on the heads of the people of the world for generations. I want to seize the world."
I don't allow it when I have great power but refuse to pay the corresponding responsibilities. Fortunately, Mrs. Xie and Miaoyin are still people who understand the righteousness well and cooperate with me. After our Jingkou Jianyi was successful, the family members lost their appearance.
However, my troubles now come more from within the Jingba brothers. Just like back then, after Xie Yan's defeat, the military power of the Beifu Army fell into the hands of your father."
Liu Jingxuan's eyes narrowed slightly: "But there are not many people from Jingkou that my father recruited back then. After the Northern Expedition, he was actually held accountable, deprived of his military position, and idle at home. It was Wang Gong who found him again
He came out of the mountain, made him a general, gave him money and food, and asked him to recruit people from the old army."
Liu Yu sighed: "That's it. Wang Gong is a son of a noble family, but he has ambitions and wants to follow the old path of the Xie family. He recruits troops for the generals himself, and then uses military power to seize power in the court and hold the emperor hostage to rule the world. He himself doesn't know how.
He didn't know anything about military affairs, so he asked your father to form an army. However, he didn't know that your father had been influenced by Xie Xuan, who was a cloak at this time. He wanted to join the mafia himself and take control of the power.
Then be driven by a member of a noble family like Wang Gong." (End of this chapter)
