Chapter 959 Everyone Gets Its Place ([-])

"Sinister, traitor, bastard..."

As soon as Hong Qing left, Emperor Chengde's reluctant smile immediately collapsed, and he picked up the tea bowl on the table with a livid face, and threw it heavily on the ground, roaring furiously in his mouth, that When you are in a state of madness, you are just like a mad dog.

"Your Majesty, rest your anger, Your Majesty, rest your anger."

When Emperor Chengde erupted like this, Li Dequan, who had been waiting outside the study room, couldn't hold his own. He rushed into the study room in a hurry, rushed to the front, kowtowed and begged bitterly.

"Calm your anger? You tell me to calm my anger, hum, this rebellious son has already bullied me, how can you tell me how to calm my anger, a rebellious son has no virtue, how dare you treat me like this, I, I..., that's all, go, general Fang Bao and Li Minquan are called for me!"

Li Dequan is loyal, but Emperor Chengde's anger is so easy to dispel, but seeing him roaring and roaring in the study like a raging lion, even if he is extremely angry, he is stunned. He didn't dare to say that he wanted to kill Hong Qing, and it was obvious that he was extremely afraid of Hong Qing in his heart. No, cursing, cursing, the more he scolded, the less he wanted, and in the end, he waved helplessly. Start, and gave a command in a bleak tone.

"twitter!"

Hearing Emperor Chengde's order, Li Dequan didn't dare to delay any longer, he hurriedly and respectfully agreed, and hurriedly left the study, and after a short while, he accompanied Fang and Li around the screen again come out.

"I'll wait to meet your Majesty."

Such a big change happened yesterday, and all the ministers of military affairs failed to get a good night's sleep. Fang and Li were no exception. Today, they had to rush back to the palace early in the morning, which was inevitable. They were all a little depressed, and it was inevitable that there was a deep sense of tiredness in the voices of the ceremony.

"Look, give me a good look, that rebellious son bullied me too much, I, I..., oh..."

Before Fang and Li could finish their ceremony, Emperor Chengde threw Hongqing's booklet in front of them in a rage, cursing and lamenting, as if he had been greatly wronged.

The brochure is very long, with thousands of words, but there are not many false words, and even the detailed rules are seldom mentioned. Most of them are framework clauses, and the meaning is expressed very clearly. Thorough reform of the military administration——[-]. Abolition of martial arts. In addition to the existing military academy in the capital, two army command academies in Jinling and Xi'an were established, and a central military academy was set up in the capital to train middle and senior generals. All newly promoted officers One is to be undertaken by military students; second, reform the mechanism of the Ministry of War, set up the staff headquarters, logistics command, arms command and other institutions, and improve the organizational system of the army; third, carry out a thorough reform of the existing army system and divide the army into border defense Army, main group army, and local garrison. Eight main group armies were established. Each group army consisted of three infantry divisions, one cavalry division, and one artillery division. , Chengdu, Jinan, Jingshi, Shengjing, Guangzhou, and Kunming, all group armies are directly under the imperial court and are not subject to local restraint. They vigorously expanded the existing frontier defense forces. As for the local garrison, it will be reduced in an all-round way. Each county will no longer set up garrison battalions. A government will only retain a battalion of [-] garrison troops at most, equipped with light weapons, for the purpose of local security. Hand over to the main group armies; Fourth, implement the military rank system, cancel the original military job system, update the military uniforms, and add military ranks to the military uniforms at all levels to facilitate the identification of officers and soldiers.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter involves too much and has a lot to do with it. It is really not appropriate to do it suddenly. If not, there may be danger of Tai Ah's backlash. You must not be careless."

Although the booklet was long, it was finally time to finish reading it. Both Fang and Li were quick-witted people, and they could almost read ten lines at a glance. Even if they knelt together to read it, it didn't take much time. After going through the scriptures again, the performance was quite different - Fang Bao remained silent, while Li Minquan remonstrated loudly.

"Well, what Zicheng said is an old way of seeking the country, and I also think so, what do you think, Mr. Linggao?"

If the military reforms were carried out according to Hongqing's instructions, there would be only one consequence, that is, not only the military power would be completely controlled by Hongqing, but all the places would be under Hongqing's surveillance, not to mention that it would be difficult for others to shake Hongqing, Even Emperor Chengde would have to act according to Hongqing's face. In this way, it is hard to say who is the emperor. Undoubtedly, Emperor Chengde is naturally unwilling to do this, and he is really looking forward to it. All the officials stood up to oppose this chapter. Of course, Emperor Chengde did not intend to explain the relationship between Hong Qing's withdrawal of troops and this chapter. He made it clear that he wanted to mislead Fang and Li's judgment.

"Your Majesty clearly learned that the old minister is not good at military affairs, so I really dare not speak rashly about it."

As for Emperor Chengde's little trick, it was really just playing with an ax at the door of the class, how could it be possible to hide it from Fang and Li - Hong Qing just played a trick on Qing Jun yesterday, and today he entered the palace early in the morning and took it out. Such a memorandum of military reform is not so much for discussing military plans with Emperor Chengde as it is for issuing an ultimatum. If you can’t understand such a simple way, you will be called a wise man in vain, of course. , Li Minquan had already stood on the opposite side of Hongqing, so how could he make Emperor Chengde happy? But Fang Bao didn't intend to get into such muddy water, and his vague words became Fang Bao's dissatisfaction. Two choices.

"Well... Mr. Linggao is too modest. Let's put it this way, I intend to delay the reform, but I am afraid that Fengtai camp will change. What can Mr. Linggao teach me?"

Being blocked by Fang Bao, Emperor Chengde's face that had just calmed down just now looked a little uncomfortable again, but it was just a matter of saying that it was just a time for employing people, but it was really not good to lose his temper at Fang Bao, helpless Under the circumstances, he could only grit his teeth and tell the true intention of Zhao Fang and Li.

"..."

As soon as Emperor Chengde made such a difficult request, not only Fang Bao was speechless, but Li Minquan, who was full of satisfaction and wanted to please Emperor Chengde, also shut his mouth tightly. There are so many supporters in the world, if Hongqing can't give a satisfactory answer, there is obviously only one consequence, that is, the old incident of Xuanwumen will repeat itself. That's all, but if Hong Qing finds out, the end will be worrying.

"What? I'm all dumb, hum! Zicheng, tell me!"

Emperor Chengde waited for a long time, but Fang Bao didn't say anything, so his heart arose immediately, and after a heavy snort, he called Li Minquan's name again.

"Your Majesty, calm down. I still agree with the previous opinion. This regulation must not be done. However, this is a big matter. It is really not appropriate for Your Majesty to come forward to oppose it. It should be dealt with by the court. I have a plan to untie this knot. When... ..."

Li Minquan's mind was very active, although he didn't say anything before, but he had already made up his mind. Now that Emperor Chengde called his name, he didn't panic, and calmly narrated the strategy he was thinking about .

"Well, let's do this first. If there is anything else, we can discuss it later. It's exhausting."

Emperor Chengde was not a person with big opinions. Hearing Li Minquan's suggestion, his brows were slightly frowned. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that he was somewhat sure of it, so there was no more. Hey, and never asked Fang Bao's opinion again, Qiankun made his final decision arbitrarily.

"I'm waiting to retire."

Upon hearing Emperor Chengde's order, Fang and Li dared not stay any longer. They both bowed and saluted, and each exited the study. Their faces were exactly the same calm, but their eyes were completely different— —Fang Bao's eyes clearly showed deep worry, but Li Minquan's eyes were full of unconcealable excitement...

"No more!"

In the study room of Prince Yong's Mansion, facing the situation that was no longer formed, Fourth Master's already disturbed heart suddenly became even more troubled. He messed up the board, got up suddenly, and paced back and forth in the study room impetuously Stepping forward, his face was so gloomy that water dripped out, nothing else, it was all caused by the mutiny of the Fengtai camp yesterday, after a sleepless night, his anger was already high, and he thought that playing chess would change his mind, But he never thought that he lost again, it's no wonder that Fourth Master is in a good mood.

"Ah."

The fourth master was already in a hurry to get angry, but Wu Sidao didn't take it to heart at all, even if the fourth master was wandering around like ants on a hot pot, Wu Sidao just laughed it off, that kind of The wind is light and the clouds are calm, just like a person who has nothing to do.

"Sir, what do you think will happen to the Fengtai Daying incident?"

After fourth master paced back and forth for a while, not only did his mood not calm down, but he became a little more anxious, and the tone of his question was full of confusion and impatience.

"My lord, don't worry, there will be news, just wait."

The fourth master is in a hurry, but Wu Sidao is not in a hurry at all, nothing else, just knowing that Hong Qing entered the palace early in the morning, Wu Sidao has already grasped Hong Qing's attitude towards this mutiny, even though he still doesn't know how he will deal with it Emperor Chengde achieved a balance of compromise, but there is one thing that Wu Sidao is clear about, that is, Emperor Chengde will definitely not be reconciled to being suppressed, there will be no doubt that there will be another wave, and this is exactly the opportunity Wu Sidao is waiting for, now? , the time is not yet ripe, Wu Sidao naturally did not intend to rush to explain the strangeness, so he just gave a suggestion indifferently.

"Um……"

Seeing Wu Sidao this time, he didn't want to say anything, no matter how anxious Fourth Master was in his heart, there was nothing he could do about it, he could only let out a sigh of relief, buried his head and continued to pace, and was extremely upset when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps , Hongli, who was sweating all over his head, turned quickly from behind the screen. Seeing his haste, Fourth Master frowned immediately, but he never said anything to reprimand him, but just looked at him with displeasure. He gave Hongli a hard look...
