Chapter Fifty-Two: Old and Crafty

"Your Majesty, please don't misinterpret my meaning. This will affect your life. You can't report everything to His Majesty, right?"

Ning Guogong's tone also became colder and he refused to give in at all.

"My lord, please don't continue to lie. Everything in the army is sanctioned by His Majesty! Daxia has thirty-six articles of military law, all of which are established by His Majesty. If your military orders are not respected, does it mean that your troops are disrespectful?"

Is there any reason for military law?"

He slammed the cup down and the tea spilled out.

Ning Guogong didn't reply and still drank tea calmly.

"You, the Northern Army, set up private checkpoints on official roads to accept bribes, colluded with officials to buy and sell military rations near the garrison, and there were many incidents of drinking and soliciting prostitutes in the army. Do you really think that I don't know this?"

"Of course the prince knows that you have secret guards in your hands, and you have successfully mastered the power of the royal guards. You naturally know this."

Drink to soothe your throat.

"But your Majesty doesn't really want to relinquish the military power of us people just like this, right? When His Majesty does it, he always has to find someone who is disobedient and disrespectful to do it."

When Li Lin heard that Duke Ning Guo even knew that he had secret guards, he really couldn't sit still. He just wanted to solve this problem as soon as possible and then see how he knew this.

"Then it was His Majesty's mistake. Violating military discipline is a serious crime. He chose to tolerate the traitor, which led to the current situation. As a veteran on the battlefield, Ning Guogong, isn't this clear to you?"

Li Lin immediately retorted that he had learned a lot about the current situation of Daxia's army on the road during this period, and he had a more thorough understanding of the problems within the army and a better understanding of the seriousness of the current problems.

"Of course I know this, but... Your Majesty, how are you going to change it?"

"The military judge in the capital can implement it smoothly because you, the regent, have a notorious reputation for evil. Although you still have a bad reputation at the border, everyone knows that you are beyond the reach of the whip."

Li Lin opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Ning Guogong.

"I know, you want to say "kill". If you kill more, you will naturally understand the rules. But this is for ordinary soldiers, but what about generals? Kill too? Kill until Daxia, no one can lead the troops.

What?"

Li Lin was dumbfounded. As a time traveler, he was quite aware of the consequences of unknown canonical punishment, but he had not thought of this.

It is natural for those at the bottom to be punished with a canonical sentence, but the higher the interest groups, the larger the group is, especially at the border far away from the center. If one is punished with a canonical sentence, it will easily trigger a backlash, and the consequences are self-evident.

But Li Lin also saw that this Ning Guogong was not here to oppose him, but was on his side.

"Is there anything Mr. Ning Guo can do?"

"Mingzheng canon punishment must be implemented, and the prince's military judge system is the best way to implement it. But some preparations are needed in the early stage to make it seem logical and for the generals to accept it without resisting."

"To make the other party not resist, either make the other party grateful or make him afraid. Gratitude is very difficult. You need the prince to do it slowly. I believe the prince can do it himself. The main reason is this fear. Killing the chicken and waiting for it is the biggest deterrent and hurts

Minimum.”]

Li Lin understood it as soon as he heard it. Going directly to the opponent to kill would naturally make the opponent afraid, but with the butcher's knife on his neck, no one would be able to catch him without mercy. But if you show him first, what is on the knife holder?

Which ones die and live comfortably, then fighting to the death becomes option B.

"I have also thought about this, but who will do this..."

Li Lin indeed knew this method, but who would be the "chicken" became the biggest difficulty at present. But when he thought that this was proposed by Ning Guogong himself, he said that it would appear to everyone that he was diverting trouble and could be framed.

, only one person is not like this.

"Hahahahaha, Your Majesty, I am getting old. When Your Majesty wanted to relinquish my military power, I no longer had any nostalgia, but thanks to the care of my colleagues, I was saved."

Ning Guogong himself has no greed for power. The constraints that the old emperor suffered at the time were only organized by the military generals. Firstly, they were reluctant to part with their own commander-in-chief. Secondly, their commander-in-chief was dismissed and replaced with someone with a lower position. Compared with others,

Aren’t the three armies weaker, and aren’t our own side’s right to speak also much weaker?

Li Lin quickly found out based on what he knew and the results of secret investigations, and also knew how he learned about this matter. The Forbidden Army. The Forbidden Army had seen the secret guards. At first, they only cleaned up some parts with Li Yi.

The rebels were planning to rebel, but there were still a few left on duty. It must be these people who spread the news.

"My lord, if you have any request, just tell me."

At this time, Li Lin was no longer in a hurry, and his tone was calm. If there was some talk, it would be settled.

"Your Highness has met my son Ning Yun, right? My request is very simple. I want my son Ning Yun to be the Duke of the Kingdom, but he will be the military judge commander who directly interfaces with you instead of the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army!"

Hiss~ Li Lin secretly took a breath of air-conditioning. The old man has a very sharp eye. He saw the future of this military judge, and he also saw that he would never give up on this system, so he came up with this trick to remove the salary from the bottom.

But there is really no other way at this time. Ning Yun himself also has a certain understanding. He is loyal and values ​​friendship. He is really a good candidate.

"The old general is really cruel. I have agreed to ask the old general to relinquish his military power when my squadron returns to Beijing."

"Haha, I would like to thank the regent first!"

After saying this, he saluted again, and this time Li Lin accepted the salute without stopping.

Later, Li Lin, accompanied by Ning Guogong, attended the banquet hosted by the Northern Army. Another 50,000 people were ordered by Ning Yun to march with Li Lin to the Kingdom of Jin.

In less than half a day, we saw the first city in the southern part of Jin Kingdom, Xia Zhi City.

The city is very large, but the walls are not very tall or thick.

Because although the jurisdiction of Daxia and Jin State cannot be said to be the same as wearing a pair of trousers, wars rarely occur, and Daxia is not like Beixue who will use the army to intimidate Jin State.

In fact, Jinhui will consciously send money to several big countries around it, but Beixue wants too much, so it uses this method.

There were officials from the Kingdom of Jin waiting in front of the city gate, waiting for Daxia's army, because the brother and sister Jin Pingchuan and Jin Mingzhu rushed back to the Kingdom of Jin in advance, and there were arrangements along the way.

"My lord, Jin Fang, the prefect of Xia Zhi, would like to see His Highness the Regent of Daxia."

The army made a way, and the officials of Jin State walked towards the Chinese army. They stopped in front of Li Lin's carriage and bent down to salute.

"Excuse me, has Governor Jin prepared the place where my army will camp?"

"We have prepared everything according to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's instructions. You can go there at any time."

"Then Master Lao will lead the way."

Half a day later, the army settled on the east side of Xia Zhi City, and Li Lin followed Jin Fang to stay in the prefect's mansion.

"Jin Kingdom is indeed rich. The prefect's mansion is comparable to the official residences of Jincheng's first-rank officials."

The pavilions, pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings are so gorgeous.

"How awesome, how awesome. Fortunately, I caught them early." Thinking of the series of American plans that he and Jin Pingchuan had discussed before, he couldn't help but feel excited.

"Your Majesty, we have prepared the map that the Prince gave us before. When will you go and take a look?"

"I'm not going. You send someone to send a message to our army, asking the cartographer to go with you. Just take them with you. They know what to do." After saying that, he took out one of his jade pendants as a token and gave it to Jinfang.

"Master Taishou, Daxia's army is fighting with our city defense army!"

At this time, a panic-looking man ran over quickly, panting and talking.
