Tyrant, your vest fell off

Chapter 109 – A Military Uniform

At this time, Zhan Ying was also dressed in military uniform, carrying her luggage, and rushed to Prince Shun's mansion.

The military headquarters of the Gale Empire has never had a tradition that women are not allowed to join the army, and even the founding queen is a heroine.

During this Northern Expedition, Zhanjia specially won the opportunity for her to participate in the war. Heroes have been born in troubled times since ancient times.

The Zhan family also hoped that she would use her true skills on the battlefield to make unworldly contributions and win glory for the family.

From her mouth, Li Qingmei had a better understanding of Dafeng's military affairs.

For hundreds of years, the Gale Empire has prioritized civility over military affairs, and the rulers of the empire have carried out military deployments in accordance with the policy of "guarding the inside and ignoring the outside".

Half of the imperial army was stationed in the capital and its vicinity, and the rest were stationed in various key areas of the country. The main purpose was to suppress the people and consolidate the imperial rule.

The leading organization of the military department is divided into Dianqian Ya and Shiwei Ya, which are respectively commanded by the Dianqian Du Commander, the Infantry Du Commander, and the Horse Army Du Commander.

However, the commander-in-chief of the third division has no right to send troops.

The empire also set up a Privy Council at the center to be responsible for military affairs.

The Privy Council is directly responsible to the emperor, and no other officials are allowed to intervene.

Although the Privy Council can send troops, it cannot directly command the army, which leads to the separation of the power to command troops and the power to dispatch troops.

The generals of Sanya are appointed by people with less seniority and easy to control, and they are often mobilized.

Although these generals command the army, the deployment of the army and the transfer of defense must be ordered by the Privy Council.

The location of the army's garrison is changed every few years, but the generals do not change accordingly, making "the soldiers are not always handsome, and the commander is not always handsome", preventing the army from being privately owned by the generals.

At the same time, the Gale Empire often changes its generals to prevent personal forces from appearing in the army.

The deployment of the empire's troops can be described as "strong stems and weak branches", "guarding the inside and leaving the outside".

Only a small number of forbidden troops were stationed on the border, and they gradually adopted a passive defense policy against Tianzhao, Xingye, and Dayan.

Dafeng Taizu Sikongye once said:
If a country has no external worries, it must have internal troubles.

External worries are nothing but side affairs, all of which can be prevented; but treachery has no shape, and if it is an internal trouble, it is deeply to be feared.

With such a centralized military administration, it is no wonder that Emperor Jianzhang dared to order Sikong Que to be the supervisor of the army, but if he was not careful, he would embrace his own self-respect and plot against him.

"Hearing the bad news that Dayan invaded and slaughtered Loulan County, His Majesty was extremely furious. The harem has been spreading wildly. His Majesty seems to be so angry that he vomited blood!"

"In this Northern Expedition blocking battle, His Majesty must be determined to promote my national prestige, but the talent of the empire's generals has been faulted in the past few years!"

"Speaking of it, it goes back to the case of Guan Shihou's treason case. Almost two-thirds of the top military officials were implicated!"

"Otherwise, how could His Majesty order old General Tu Shan to be in command!"

"Lian Po is old, I don't know if he can still fight?"

"Hey, he had eight sons in total, and seven of them died in battle. It can be said that he is a loyal family!"

"Even the only surviving son, General Tu Shanyi, died for the country in the Loulan defense battle a few days ago..."

Zhan Ying sighed lightly and said regretfully.

"The beast Yangou actually took off the skull of General Tu Shanyi and used it as a sacrificial wine cup. It is really inhumane!"

At this time, Sikong Que had also changed into a black armor, the style was black, and even the imperial flag of the empire was a black gold pan dragon that looked down on the deep.

It was the first time for Li Qingmei to see her prince in military uniform, and felt that his usual elegant and handsome aura was gone.

And Li Qingmei went out with the army as a military doctor, and she was also dressed in black at this time, and she and Sikong Que seemed to be in a couple's attire, which seemed very suitable.
