Borrow the day to change the day

() Sun Chengzong smiled "hehe", and then saw that there were only the two of them in the big tent, as well as the two people in the East Factory. He had never thought of hiding anything from the emperor, so he had no worries, and gave Zhong Jinwei a careful analysis. : "The reasons are indeed more complicated, the old man will tell you one by one."

Zhong Jinwei nodded and listened carefully to Sun Chengzong's analysis.

"Prefect Lu himself is a civil servant, and he doesn't lead troops on weekdays. This time King Qin, he temporarily recruited military households, strong men, and yamen servants from Daming Mansion to form King Qin's army. The other generals of King Qin are all military generals. They are also their usual subordinates. This is the first difference."

Zhong Jinwei nodded in agreement.

Sun Chengzong continued to analyze: "Prefect Lu brought so many people out, and the government affairs of the Daming Mansion are probably going to be paralyzed. It is good to say that when the king is eager to serve, now the Jianlu will no longer attack the capital, and the emperor is safe. Even if the emperor does not ask for disarmament, Lu The magistrate must also repatriate some people. The other generals are all sergeants, which have little influence on the local civil affairs. Moreover, fighting is their duty. Therefore, it is impossible to repatriate the soldiers. Same as Prefect Lu."

Zhong Jinwei didn't understand now, and now it's not about simply reducing the army. If it's just that, then it can be said that Lu Xiangsheng can lay off, but other generals can't.

But now we are weeding out weak soldiers, whether it is for their generals to win the battle or to help the court reduce the logistical pressure, it is good.

The reasons Sun Chengzong said just now are not any special reasons, and they cannot explain why they don't want to eliminate weak soldiers.

Zhong Jinwei said honestly: "This reason doesn't seem to explain why they don't want to weed out the weak and keep the strong."

Seeing Zhong Jinwei's honest look, Sun Chengzong laughed a little, and then said to Zhong Jinwei: "Okay, I won't talk about the secondary reasons. I will tell you the real reason directly."

Seeing Sun Chengzong's smiling face, Zhong Jinwei suddenly had the urge to hit someone, the old man was just kidding me.However, Zhong Jinwei was just thinking about it, but he didn't dare to take it seriously. He sincerely said to Sun Chengzong: "Please teach me, Mr. Sun."

"This, we have to start from the source. It's hard to explain in one word. This old man will pick up the most important point and tell you."

Zhong Jinwei nodded.

"The main reason is that Prefect Lu won't drink the blood of soldiers and risk his salary. And other generals are doing this."

Could it be that Sun Chengzong is old and loves nagging, and he talked so much before he got to the point.

As long as Sun Chengzong said this earlier, he would have understood at once, Zhong Jinwei slandered in his heart.

In fact, Zhong Jinwei should have thought of this reason a long time ago. In later generations, he had seen these generals in the late Ming Dynasty on the Internet, eating nothing and drinking blood to support their own servants.It's just because I was in the game, I didn't react at once.

Zhong Jinwei frowned, and said in a deep voice: "How can this be done? We have to find out how many soldiers they have."

Sun Chengzong shook his head: "They are not fools. On the way to King Qin, I don't know how many people were arrested to replace them."

Hearing what Sun Chengzong said, Zhong Jinwei thought of the soldiers he saw, and estimated that nine out of ten were ordinary people who were captured to replace them.

"Then let's forcefully stipulate a method of weeding out the weak and retaining the strong, and let them follow this method." Zhong Jinwei thought for a while and said again.

"How?" Sun Chengzong looked at Zhong Jinwei who was a little anxious, and asked with a smile.

"Just like Lu Xiangsheng's method, weightlifting, all those who can't lift will be eliminated." Zhong Jinwei said what he thought in advance.In this way, those old and young soldiers should be able to be screened out.

"I tried it, and all the generals objected. And all of them spoke plausibly." Sun Chengzong sighed, boy, things are not as simple as you imagined.

Zhong Jinwei was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "What reason do they use to object?"

"Those generals who say they can't lift are not necessarily weak soldiers. Those who are weak may be good at spying on the enemy, or they may be musketeers, or they may be good at firing cannons, or they may be good at other things, etc. .”

Damn, if those old people and children in the barracks can defeat Jianlu, I will take his surname.Zhong Jinwei was furious, these people are really shameless.

Immediately said: "It's up to them, just force them to cut it off."

Sun Chengzong smiled wryly, and then said to Zhong Jinwei: "Uncle Zhongxing, it would be nice if it was that easy. Don't look at the barracks as a whole, but the soldiers that I can manage are just a few people in the Zhongjun tent. The rest are all those generals. They are reluctant to listen to me now because of the emperor's order and because of this thin face of the old man."

"So what?" Zhong Jinwei asked.

"When they are in a hurry, they will learn from Zu Dashou." Sun Chengzong is really embarrassed to say it. After all, Zu Dashou's Guan Ning Army was his subordinate back then.

Zhong Jinwei was really speechless, now that it's time to speak, he really can't force them.If you want to learn from Zu Dashou, the one who should laugh is Jianlu.

No, there must be a strong army to deter these warlords, and the military system must be reformed as soon as possible.When we go back, we must persuade Emperor Chongzhen to turn the Beijing camp into a strong army. Without force in hand, everything is just a cloud.

Seeing that Zhong Jinwei didn't speak, Sun Chengzong said again: "This is what the old man told you when the generals were gathered. This group of generals can only be coaxed. They are late, and the old man dare not serve them in the military law."

Zhong Jinwei wanted to comfort Sun Chengzong, but he didn't know where to start.

The big tent fell silent, and Gu Baichuan and Wang Peng stood behind Zhong Jinwei, looked at each other, and dared not speak.

After a while, Zhong Jinwei was still unwilling, and asked, "Isn't there a good way to deal with them?"

Sun Chengzong looked up at the top of the big tent, sighed and said, "It would be great if it was Marshal Qi."

When Zhong Jinwei heard Sun Chengzong mention Qi Jiguang, he thought of his rigorous military management, and he couldn't help agreeing: "Yes, General Qi's soldiers strictly observe military discipline. All the soldiers have gone to hide from the rain, but Marshal Qi's troops stood motionless in the rain."

Having said that, Zhong Jinwei's mind suddenly brightened, and he thought of an idea, and hurriedly said to Sun Chengzong: "Master Sun, I thought of an idea, so that the group of warlords have nothing to say, and can help them weed out the weak and retain the strong."

When Sun Chengzong heard it, he was also excited. What, there is a way. The old man thought about pulling out his beard a lot, but he didn't come up with a good idea.

So, Sun Chengzong said with a feeling: "Quick, tell the old man."

Zhong Jinwei analyzed to Sun Chengzong: "Master Sun, didn't those warlords say that weak soldiers may also be strong soldiers, and strong soldiers who are not required for strength?"

Sun Chengzong nodded and said: "They really stumped the old man for this reason."

"Then strong soldiers with strong strength and their so-called weak strong soldiers have one thing in common. We just need to eliminate the weak and keep the strong according to this common point." Zhong Jinwei said proudly.

Sun Chengzong really wanted to beat Zhong Jinwei up, so he acted in front of the old man. He didn't know that the old man had failed the entrustment of the sage, so he was so anxious.But he forgot that he was still going around in circles with Zhong Jinwei just now, not to mention the main point, now it's retribution.

Sun Chengzong raised his voice and shouted: "Uncle Zhongxing, don't talk about it, talk about your idea quickly. Don't be such a useless bad idea, tell me quickly and let the old man weigh in and see if it is feasible."

Gu Baichuan and Wang Peng looked at each other again, and then looked at Zhong Jinwei to see what his idea was.The two of them were also very curious. They were secretly thinking about it just now, but they didn't come up with any good ideas.

Zhong Jinwei's ears were buzzing, why is this old man's voice so loud!I still said it quickly.
