"A scholar cannot be without great perseverance. The road ahead is long and arduous."
"United forces can make great achievements, and people's hearts can move together." The emperor said: "How to unite people's hearts is a great question. The reason why I ordered the Imperial Academy to preach enlightenment in the army is not only to make people harmonious with the doctrine, but also to make people harmonious.
What’s more important is that they know that being a soldier is not only about making ends meet, nor is it about making achievements, but also about protecting the country and the people. Food and clothing are all provided by the people, so how can soldiers not show mercy to the people?
difficult?"
Gao Shun gradually became a little confused as he listened. He was just a captain and he generally understood these principles, but he didn't understand why the emperor had to tell him so much.
The emperor had always intended to promote Gao Shun, otherwise he would not have placed him in the position of captain of the middle base. It was obvious that he planned to let him take over Wang Bin's class, so he paused and continued: "
I have issued an edict earlier that after the officers and soldiers of the Northern and Southern armies retire from the army when they are old, they can be selected as thieves catchers, five sense officers, or pavilion chiefs according to their military positions at that time. Those who have learned scientific laws and regulations can directly follow them.
Merit will be awarded according to the position, and those who have not learned it will be assigned after they have studied science for a period of time."
The thieves arresting bureau and the five sense organs bureau are both departmental officials in counties and counties who are responsible for arresting criminals and handling thieves. They are similar to the criminal investigation in later generations. The pavilion chief is also the grassroots unit responsible for managing local security and thieves. They are served by retired soldiers.
The local chief of security can not only prevent soldiers who are accustomed to licking blood from their swords and being unable to accept the hard work of farming after returning home, and thus being recruited as thugs by powerful men to disrupt public order, but they can also strengthen grassroots public security management and protect the emperor's policies and laws to a certain extent.
Can be accessed up and down.
Not only do soldiers not have to go back to farming after they retire, but they can also get an official position. All the benefits from joining the army to being discharged from the army are given by the emperor. The grassroots officials who were transformed from retired soldiers will naturally have an attitude towards the emperor.
Loyalty and support that he did not have. When this system forms a good cycle and operates, the emperor will never worry that his policies will be violated by the people below him. This will strengthen the central government's control over the local grassroots and ensure that imperial power is sent to the countryside.
This is the system of military retirement and military transfer to the police copied and modified by the emperor based on the experience of later generations. He told Gao Shun this without bothering to explain, but in fact he had high hopes for Gao Shun: "This time in the expedition to Hedong, the Northern and Southern armies will not be able to meet each other."
If any soldiers are reduced or killed in battle, they will be treated according to the pension regulations of the Forbidden Army. They will be given money, land, exempted from taxes, and their children and orphans will be accepted into the army to study. If there are those who are disabled due to injuries and can no longer join the army, then
It will be handled in accordance with the discharge regulations."
The emperor looked at Gao Shun who was listening attentively, and looked at his innocent and upright appearance. He suddenly remembered his uncle Wang Bin's old yet loyal demeanor. He sighed for no reason and said to Gao Shun in front of everyone: "Uncle
He's old. As a lieutenant, you have to shoulder all the trivial matters in the army for him."
The emperor's words directly sealed Gao Shun's future. If nothing unexpected happens, after Wang Bin steps down, Gao Shun will be the next Lieutenant Commander of the Northern Army and will be in charge of the Northern Army for the emperor.
The last person who was entrusted with such trust by the emperor was General Gaishun. Unfortunately, his future was bleak because of a wrong trip. There are lessons from the past. Most other people should be cautious when encountering this kind of thing. No matter what,
I had to say a few words of humility, so that I wouldn't suffer too badly if I promised to do it but couldn't do it. This is the correct way to be an official and a human being. But Gao Shun didn't hesitate and agreed without hesitation.
, Jinran was ordered to say: "Wei! In the end, the general will use all his wisdom and loyalty to fill the ravines for Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty has such a good general, why worry about the world being unjust and the Han Dynasty not prospering?" Jia Xu from the side smiled and interjected at the right time: "I would like to congratulate your Majesty."
He was followed by people such as Xun You, the minister, Fu Xun, the minister, and Lang Fazheng, the secretary who had come to gain experience. They all agreed. The emperor chose a person who in his eyes was more suitable and equally trustworthy than Wang Bin.
After the Northern Army, Wang Bin, who has long been responsible for the political task of controlling the Northern Army for the emperor, will no longer be bound by the position of Lieutenant Colonel of the Northern Army. What position will he be assigned in the future? What will happen to the situation in the DPRK?
What kind of role and impact it will have are all things that they and the stakeholders behind it need to consider.
Compared with people like Xun You who remained calm and had calculations in their minds, the group of generals guarding the left and right, such as Yulin Zhonglang General Xu Rong, Infantry Colonel Wei Jie, Tunqi Colonel Jiang Xuan and others, mostly wrote down their thoughts.
It's superficial. Colonel Shesheng Jujun has a strong and upright character, and he is very close to Gao Shun. Seeing Gao Shun at this time, he is already in the emperor's heart. In addition to envy, it is more of an encouragement to him.
Wei Jie, the most senior infantry captain in the Northern Army, was unwilling. He could not accept that Gao Shun, who had only been in the Northern Army for a few days, would climb over him so quickly.
The look he looked at Gao Shun was more complicated, rather like a person who has been through it looking at someone who has come after him and is filled with emotion.
The emperor smiled calmly and took in the expressions of these people. Then he looked into the distance and suddenly changed the subject and said: "I don't know if Zhang Meng has chased Cheng Yin. If the leader of the thief is captured, Hedong will be half even."
"Cheng Yin had at least ten thousand remnant troops. Even if the Hou Xuan who besieged Pi Shi returned with ten thousand of his men in time to help, even if they had a chance to escape and finally joined forces to defend, they would not be the enemy of the combined forces of the Northern and Southern armies." Xun You.
Said slowly.
His prediction was accurate, and as expected, it didn't take long before he saw Captain Zhang Meng of Changshui returning in disgrace with a group of Hu cavalry.
Since the incident of Wang Chang's appropriation of military honors, although this incident was not deliberately publicized, the emperor still found other opportunities to severely clean up the atmosphere of the Northern and Southern armies. Therefore, even if Zhang Meng was defeated, he would not dare to cheat because he knew that he
It doesn't matter if he loses, but concealing it is a serious crime, so when he truthfully reported the battle situation with a guilty conscience, the emperor was indeed angry, but he did not make any move that would make Zhang Meng feel the worst.
"You took advantage of the victory to attack and pursue death in the north. It was originally a smooth battle, but why didn't you know to be more careful!" The emperor stared at Zhang Meng on horseback, who was kneeling on the ground with one leg, and said sternly:
"If you had noticed something was wrong earlier and taken precautions in advance, would Cheng Yin and the others have been able to escape? As the commander of the first battalion, you were careless and fell short of success. What can I say to you?"
Before the emperor finished speaking, Zhang Meng was already ashamed and ashamed. He claimed to be a famous general of the Northern Army, but he did not expect to make such a low-level mistake. How should he face Zhang Liao who had been secretly competing with him in the future? He
He looked at the emperor with a very aggrieved look and replied in a trembling voice: "The general did not do his job well and allowed Cheng Yin, the leader of the thieves, to take the opportunity to escape. I have no excuses. I only ask that your majesty punish the crime and serve as a warning to the three armies!"
"The mistake has been made, what's the use of punishing you?" After the emperor finished speaking, he stopped looking at him and said to Xun You, Jia Xu and others: "Now we should discuss quickly where Cheng Yin will escape to.
There must be someone behind this ambush, regardless of the situation or the deployment of troops and horses. Otherwise, with the talents of Cheng Yin and others, it would never have happened. If he had not been captured, Hedong might not have been able to capture him so smoothly.
