Great Qin's son-in-law

Wang Ben said with tears in his eyes:
"The minister is incompetent and cannot help His Majesty."

"I am ashamed to trust His Majesty!"

Ying Zheng shook his head.

Shen said:
"I have only one order for you."

"Live well."

"If that day really comes in the future, Daqin may still rely on you."

Wang Ben nodded repeatedly and said:
"The minister obeys the order."

Ying Zheng looked at Wang Ben, didn't say much about it, changed the subject, and asked, "Did Wang Li tell you about today's court meeting?"

Wang Ben said:
"Go back to Your Majesty."

"I have indeed heard about the affairs of the court."

Ying Zheng said: "Since you know, what do you think of Ying Sinian's proposal?"

Wang Ben frowned.

He lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly at Shi Huang.

Shen said:
"I think what the ten sons said is reasonable."

"The South China Sea strategy back then, because the world was unified, could only use the old Qin people to quickly pacify the border barbarians. Today, the country has been established for several years, and the strategy set back then is no longer applicable."

"The ten sons proposed to change the source of troops, and I think it is indeed for the sake of the country."

"As for the leading generals."

"Young Master Ten is also very considerate."

"Lishan Guard Zhang Han has been doing things in an orderly manner since he took over Lishan, and he has not made any major mistakes. Whether it is running the army or managing prisoners' corvee, he can be said to be watertight, and most of the Lishan prisoners are disobedient. Zhang Han Being able to govern like this is enough to show his talent."

"also."

"If you really change the source of troops."

"That is to say, when a large number of Chu people and Baiyue people are recruited into the army, there must be a mixed army. If the main general is not carefully selected, there may be serious problems. Compared with other generals, Zhang Han does have unique advantages. is the best choice."

"I agree with Zhang Han as the general!"

Wang Ben lowered his head, his face full of awe.

Ying Zheng stared at Wang Ben coldly, and said coldly: "Wang Ben, you know, this is not what I asked you, you have known me for so many years, and I have always trusted you, at this moment, why Do you need to hide like this?"

Wang Ben trembled.

Trembling voice:
"Dare to ask Your Majesty to speak frankly."

"Chenchen really doesn't know."

Wang Ben didn't dare to look up at all.

Ying Zheng withdrew his gaze and stood with his hands behind his back.

Indifferently said:
"you know!"

"You just don't want to talk."

"Because Ying Sinian's proposal for the position of 'Army Sima' will definitely change drastically once it is put into practice, and if you are like you, the situation that you will not accept the orders of the emperor will be greatly reduced. , and the authority of generals will be further weakened.”

"You know everything."

"In fact, you have already seen the way."

"You just dare not say it."

"Because you are the biggest beneficiary of the existing military system."

"Am i right?"

"Wang Ben!"

Ying Zheng stared at Wang Ben coldly.

Wang Ben's face turned pale suddenly, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

With a wry smile:
"I never think so."

"The health of the minister is worrisome, and his surviving life depends on His Majesty's kindness, and the descendants of the Wang clan have long since withered, so it is difficult for him to take on important responsibilities. How delusional are you, dare to resist such a major national event?"

"The Wang family has been with Qin for generations, and has never had a different heart."

"Your Majesty, please be aware!"

talking room.

Wang Ben turned over and tried to kneel down to defend himself.

Ying Zheng stopped it.

Shen said:
"I know Mrs. Wang has no dissent."

"I also know that you, Wang Ben, are loyal, otherwise, why would I ask you? I came here today to ask your opinion on this matter, and if I allow the establishment of a 'military commander' in the army, what will happen to the army?" What's the impact."

"I trust you so much, don't let me down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust." Wang Ben gasped, trying to calm himself down, and after taking a short breath, he said, "I don't know what the intention of the 'Jun Sima' set up by the ten princes is, but once the Jun Sima is established , the impact on the army will be very obvious."

"Since ancient times, the requirements for soldiers in all dynasties, or princes, are actually very simple, that is, to be able to 'listen only to the golden drum, and only to see the banner'. It's a senior soldier."

"If orders and prohibitions can be enforced, they will already be counted as elites in the world. If they are equipped with excellent weapons and suitable battle formations, such soldiers are enough to fight against ten or even more. However, if you look at China for thousands of years, There are very few who can achieve this effect.”

"Since the Zhou Dynasty, only a few people such as Sun Wu, Sima Rangju, Sun Bin, Wu Qi, Zhao She, and Bai Qi have been able to do it. Even so, they are almost unrivaled in the current world."

""Sun Tzu Military Struggle" says: The man who drums the golden clan flag is the eyes and ears of one person; since a person is single-minded, the brave cannot advance alone, and the timid cannot retreat alone. This is the method of using the crowd."

"This is to say that those who use soldiers well can unify the orders of the entire army, so leading the whole army in battle is like carrying one person. Therefore, Sun Tzu clarified a way to use soldiers."

"That's 'one'!"

"The military strategists of later generations all recognize this very much."

"There is nothing better than one way of using soldiers."

"However, since the Zhou Dynasty, "one" has gradually been considered by the military strategists to mean that the whole army has the same will and actions, that is, the leading generals have unified command over the army. .”

"The Yellow Emperor once said: 'One, the level is based on the Tao, the level is based on the gods, and the use depends on the opportunity.

"The 'one' of the army should come from the 'jun'."

"It's just that no one thought of a solution in the past, so it has always been the personal will of the generals that has become the will of the entire army, not all from the 'jun', but the suggestion put forward by the ten sons today may change what the Yellow Emperor said back then. The 'one' of the word, one by one realized."

"which is"

Wang Ben paused.

continued:
"From now on, the general will only be responsible for leading the troops to fight. All his command power will come from the 'king', and the soldiers will gradually not care who the general is, because when they are training, the will they receive will come from the 'king', the king Absolute control over the military."

"Even if the general has a different heart in the future and wants to lead the troops to rebel, there may be a situation where the general does not command the soldiers and the soldiers do not obey orders. Just wanting to do this may greatly increase the authority of the army commander."

"It is about to divide the general function into two."

"Generals are only responsible for leading troops to fight, while military commanders are responsible for the thinking of the army."

"In the long run, there may be a situation."

"A military commander has the power to deploy and train troops, but he doesn't necessarily know how to fight. Generals know how to fight, but they don't have the power to dispatch and send troops, so that the army is always under the control of the 'king'."

"only."

"This approach places high demands on soldiers."

"If the quality of the soldiers is not enough, there may be a situation where the soldiers don't know the generals, and the generals don't know the soldiers. At that time, there will be big problems in the command. Not only can the combat power not be improved, but the combat power will be greatly reduced."

"It's hard for me to judge good or bad for a while."

Wang Ben spoke out what was on his mind.

Ying Zheng listened quietly.

After thinking about it, Ying Zheng asked: "As you said, how can we improve the quality of soldiers? If it is extended to the entire army, what is the difficulty?"

Wang Ben showed hesitation.

Shen said:
"If you want the soldiers to obey orders and prohibit them without knowing the generals, the only way is to conduct a lot of training, so that the soldiers can be proficient in knowing all kinds of battle formations and military flags, and at the same time know what they should do, so that they can be as commanding as they are on the battlefield. .”

"But it's not easy to achieve these things."

"Furthermore, the existing military system of Daqin does not support it. Unless the soldiers of the army can stay in the army for a long time for training, otherwise the effect will not be very satisfactory."

"The most suitable thing now is actually what the tenth son said."

"That is, after the soldiers are recruited, they will be trained for a certain period of time, and their thinking will be integrated during the training, so as to improve the soldiers' sense of identity and increase their combat effectiveness."

heard.

Ying Zheng frowned slightly.

He's obviously not happy with that.

But Ying Zheng also knew that what Wang Ben said was true.

If you insist on it blindly, not only will you fail to achieve your goal, but it will also greatly reduce the strength of the army.

This is actually not worth the candle.

Yingzheng's expression returned to normal, and he said calmly: "As you said, can the army Sima really have the effect of integrating soldiers and strengthening unified thinking?"

Wang Ben said: "It does have this effect."

Ying Zheng nodded and said:
"So, I'm relieved."

"The matter in the South China Sea has indeed dragged on for too long, and it should be resolved."

"If we can use this to ease the local hostility towards the Qin land, and let the local area more deeply integrate into the Great Qin and understand the laws of Qin, it is also a good suggestion."

Wang Ben said:
"What the ten sons say is for the country and the people."

"The minister thinks it is a great good!"

Ying Zheng shook his head.

Said: "This kid usually relies on his little cleverness. If he knows that you have such a high opinion of him, I don't know how he will be so proud."

Wang Ben said in a deep voice:
"How can my humble opinion come into my eyes?"

"It's just the opinion of ten sons, it's indeed the best policy."

Ying Zheng turned around.

He opened his mouth and said:

"It's getting late, you have a good rest."

"I'll go back first."

Done.

Ying Zheng looked at Wang Ben and said teasingly, "Ying Sinian thinks highly of you, but I really want to know what other plans he has in mind."

"Haha."

Ying Zheng laughed, turned and left.

Wang Li cupped his hands and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, go slowly."

When Yingzheng walked away, Wang Ben slumped on the recliner and let out a sigh of relief. He had already expected that the first emperor would come, and he had already expected what the first emperor would ask, but he did not expect that the first emperor would come. So forthright and without suspicion.

He also faintly felt it.

His Majesty may really appoint Ying Sinian as his reserve.

Otherwise, with His Majesty's heart, why accept it completely?And without making any changes?What's more, the matter also involved the army.

To know.

Your Majesty has a firm grip on military power.

There is no chance for outsiders to get involved at all.

But this time, His Majesty let go.

Which means.

How could he not see it?
The reason why he didn't say anything earlier was because the tenth prince was involved at this time, he was worried that his opening up would create a rift between the first emperor and the tenth prince, but His Majesty didn't seem to care at all.

This made him heave a sigh of relief.
