Chapter 91 Generals of the second generation and the third generation
After some questioning, Li Zhiyun confirmed that this Xue Li was the Xue Rengui who "the general reached the Tianshan Mountains with three arrows, and the strong man entered Hanguan with a long song" in history!
He never expected that this general would appear before his eyes silently.
interesting.
"How did you get into Chang'an Middle School to observe?" Li Zhiyun picked up the fishing rod on the ground and cast a line to fish.
Xue Li was slightly startled, thinking that this teacher was indeed a newcomer. But what surprised him was how could this person's very plain words be filled with dignity?
He said honestly: "My uncle helped me."
"Who is your uncle?"
"Jiang Gong."
Xue Shou, no wonder.
Can't you write two characters "Xue" in one stroke?
Li Zhiyun knew that Xue Shou was from the west ancestral house of the Xue family in Hedong, while Xue Rengui was from the south ancestral house.
What made him sigh was that because he did not let Xue Shou die early, Xue Rengui followed Xue Shou's line and showed up early.
Otherwise, it would have been more than ten years before Xue Rengui was born.
For the next half hour, Li Zhiyun chatted with him about Datang's recent foreign wars in a casual manner.
Contrary to expectations, Xue Rengui's words were impressive. Although many of his ideas were not yet mature, it was clear that he had a certain talent for war.
very nice.
Seeing Xue Rengui, Li Zhiyun began to think about the issue of the new generation of generals. Although the generals in the court are currently at their peak, it is not a problem to defeat ten of them, let alone the Dinghai Shenzhen Li Jing.
But as an emperor, Li Zhiyun can never have too many talents.
Among the next generation of young generals, he is optimistic about many people.
Su Lie, Zhang Shigui, Cheng Mingzhen, Liu Rengui, Xu Shiji, etc. Li Zhiyun regarded these people as the successors of the first generation of generals in the empire. They were not called young men because of their youth, but because they did not have enough opportunities to make meritorious deeds.
And Li Zhiyun's deliberate neglect.
After all, the credit cannot be given to one generation, otherwise it will be difficult to handle the relationship between monarch and minister.
When the first-generation generals are gradually transferred back to the court, he will activate this group of generals, give them the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, and let them eliminate the influence of the older group of generals left in the army.
Doing this was not only the emperor's fear, but also to fulfill their feelings of monarch and minister. After all, sensible ministers like Li Jing were in the minority.
Most ministers will never think about the future when they are at their peak.
The new generation, or the generation of generals who have not yet grown up, belong to the boys who were born in generals.
They are like Qin Huaiyu, the son of Qin Qiong, Cheng Chumo, the son of Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Baolin, the son of Yuchi Gong, and others.
These children were born into generals, and with their father's words and deeds teaching them, their martial arts skills would definitely be good.
Moreover, it goes without saying much about loyalty.
Seeing Xue Rengui today, Li Zhiyun felt that maybe he should start paying attention to the generals ten years from now.
In his mind, the order of succession for the generals of the Tang Dynasty was roughly like this.
Those who followed him to conquer the world include Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Duan Zhixuan, Xie Shufang, Li Junxian, Li Jing and others.
Those who will expand the territory in the next ten years include Su Lie, Cheng Mingzhen, Xu Shiji, Liu Rengui, Xue Wanche and others.
The new generation twenty years later; Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chumo, Xue Rengui, Yuchi Baolin, and even Pei Xingjian, who is still a little kid, and others.
This is the most reasonable arrangement.
Of course, the premise is that these people are not permanently disabled.
In addition, the first- and second-generation generals do not have no chance to go out to fight. For example, in the next five years, he still needs to use the first-generation generals as commanders and lead the second-generation generals to grow.
After six or seven years, when the second generation of generals has fully grown up, the first generation of generals can announce their retirement, and then go to Pingkangfang every day with a cup of tea in hand.
The same is true for the training of three generations of generals.
One generation leads another.
As for whether factions will form in the military.
That's inevitable.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Where there are rivers and lakes, there must be people who stick together. This kind of thing is inevitable.
It would be naive to imagine that there are no factions in an army.
Before the Khitans were killed, several major governors were vying for the right to go on the expedition, which already showed that there was a mountain of talent in the army.
However, with Li Zhiyun's prestige, they can be abolished with just one edict.
Of course, there is no need. As an emperor who emerged from the chaos, he does not worry about the army.
Because those generals are all his loyal ministers.
In addition, to put it bluntly, the relationship between the several mountaintops in the army is not good.
Yuchi Gong and Qin Qiong were at odds with each other and never accepted each other.
Duan Zhixuan and Xie Shufang followed the emperor to raise troops in Jinyang, and they always regarded themselves as the emperor's most capable confidants.
Cheng Yaojin and others were born in Wagang.
There are many factions and the ingredients are very mixed.
Because of this, Li Zhiyun controlled the military power very tightly.
Gulu!
While Li Zhiyun was deep in thought, the fishing rod suddenly sank.
"Big fish!"
He suddenly lifted the rod, and a big fish flipped in the air.
"Here you go, use it to refresh your brain."
After saying that, Li Zhiyun led the people and left.
In fact, he has always had an idea in his mind, that is, to ask the generals in the government to serve as military lecturers in universities after they retire.
Unfortunately, due to natural disasters, not even a single brick of the university was built.
In the future, there will definitely be a chance in ten years!
Xue Rengui stared blankly at the big fish jumping on the ground, not quite understanding why the handsome man left as soon as he said so.
Also, what does it mean to replenish your brain?
Does it mean you are stupid?
But it doesn't matter, he doesn't worry about it.
Just as he was about to pick up the big fish, a crisp sound suddenly rang in his ears.
"wood!"
Hearing this, Xue Li looked up and saw a girl not far away, gently covering her lips, with a bright smile that was unique to her.
Xue Li's cheeks suddenly turned red and he bowed.
"See His Highness Yongning."
Li Shun'er raised her hand, "Oh, how many times have I told you not to salute when no one is around."
"yes."
Li Shun'er stepped forward and looked at the big fish jumping on the ground.
"Mumu, you finally caught a fish!"
"It wasn't me, it was a teacher who caught it." Xue Li scratched his head.
"Oh." Li Shun'er looked at Big Fish and then at Xue Li.
The latter looked very shy, lowered his head and pointed with two fingers.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, have you finished the exam?"
"Well, it's very simple." Li Shun'er said with confidence, "Let's go, today I will teach you the rules of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of Tang numbers within one hundred."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
On the other side, as the bell rang, the children handed in their papers one after another.
"It's over!"
Li Chengjing held her head and knocked it on the table. She felt very bad. He was completely different from his younger brothers and sisters. He was not particularly smart.
To put it simply, the eldest son of the emperor has an average intelligence. And his mother-in-law, Concubine Yin De, is a commoner who comes from a small family and does not know how to teach children. Therefore, Li Chengjing can keep up with his studies because of his hard work.
The result of hard work.
What others learn in one hour may take him two hours to master.
It was not surprising to see His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the Emperor, holding his head in distress. At the same time, he did not come forward to offer any comfort.
Because the powerful students who know the identity of the prince and princess have already been warned by their teachers that as long as they study in school, all students will be treated equally. Anyone who dares to form a small group or help the prince or princess in violation of regulations will be expelled.
Of course, there is no limit to the friendship between classmates in private.
