Li Jing stroked the beard under his chin, with a calm expression, calmly said: "The old minister is old, he doesn't care what these people say, he just cares about what he says and does. Besides, the old minister always says something, Tell the truth."
"When it comes to the vastness of the territory, the Xia Kingdom far exceeds the Qin and Han Dynasties. In the past, the Tang Dynasty served all directions, and the territory was considered vast. But compared with the Xia Kingdom today, it is not a star and a half. The area of ??Tianzhu in the past has become the Xia Kingdom. Part of it is the achievements far surpassing those of the Three Sovereigns and Five Sovereigns."
"The territory of Xia Kingdom is the largest in history."
"Of course, although the territory is vast, there is still a long way to go to make everyone recognize Xia Guo, think that they are Xia Guo people, and recognize themselves from the bottom of their hearts. It will not be completed overnight."
Li Jing continued: "Especially Xia's weapons are the best in history. No country can compare to Xia's today. To put it bluntly, His Majesty's current weapons are enough to sweep past dynasties."
"In addition, scholars can read and write, and scholars, farmers, and businessmen will improve by then. The lives of the people will be better than before. They will not worry about food and clothing, and the tillers will have their fields. This is even more progress."
"These are all the achievements of His Majesty."
"So the old ministers are all telling the truth. If anyone objects, the old ministers can refute them one by one without any fear. These words can be said with confidence, and even more so, they can make people speechless."
Having said this, Li Jing changed the subject and said, "Come back to business, Your Majesty has summoned the old ministers to the palace, but is there anything you want to order?"
Du Qi said: "There is indeed something, and it is a matter of the staff department."
Hearing this, Li Jing frowned slightly.
When it comes to the affairs of the staff department, he was indeed involved, especially the position of the head of the staff department, which is no less than six ministers, is extremely suitable for Li Jing. But these years, Li Jing has been preaching and teaching in the imperial capital, teaching scholars to study.
He didn't care about the affairs of the staff department at all.
The staff department is also equivalent to a fake.
Therefore, in Li Jing's heart, he actually regarded the chief of the staff department as an idle job, and he didn't take it to heart at all. Now when he heard Du Qi's words, it was obvious that Du Qi wanted to make further adjustments.
Li Jing said calmly: "Is Your Majesty planning to adjust the staff department? If His Majesty wants to adjust it, just arrange it. After all, the veteran is in the staff department, even if he is idle, he has not performed his duties."
Speaking of this, Li Jing continued: "Here, the old minister is even willing to resign from his official position and concentrate on dealing with the affairs of the Daxia Military Academy. After all, there are many things in the academy, and he is too busy every day."
Du Qi smiled and said: "Mr. Yaoshi, you are worrying too much. I invited you, not to make you resign. To Xia Guo, you are like a Dinghai magic needle. If you are here, then Xia Guo will be prosperous Scholars are constantly being cultivated. Moreover, although the General Staff Department has been false before, and even the General Staff Department has been falsely established again and again, but now, it is really going to be used."
Li Jing said: "Please show me, Your Majesty."
Du Qi said: "The General Staff Department is now responsible for the management of the army. The assessment, promotion, and even adjustment of all generals in the army belong to the General Staff Department. Even the food, weapons, and salaries of the army are under the Staff Department. Ministry."
brush!
Li Jing's complexion changed slightly when he heard the words.
Even though Li Jing has lived for sixty or seventy years, he is already old and has seen too many storms and waves, but at this moment when he heard Du Qi's words, the expression on his face inevitably fluctuated.
He was frightened by Du Qi's words.
The authority of the staff department is too great, and it governs the entire army.
When Li Jing's expression changed, and his mind was even fluctuating, Du Qi continued: "The General Staff Department is independent of the imperial court system, directly belongs to me, and accepts my jurisdiction. The officials of the six ministries of the court, and even the cabinet, if there is no approval from me Article, no right to mobilize the army. The staff and even the army belong directly to me."
Boom! ! !
After Li Jing heard it, his mind seemed to explode.
The face was even more shocked.
What Du Qi did was too bold.
?It can be called the first time since the beginning of the world, because the army has not been divided in this way in all dynasties. The army has always belonged to the stronger side when fighting against the country. But once the world is in peace, the army will be suppressed, and even the status of the military generals will begin to decline. Compared with the prime ministers in the court, or compared with the court princes, they are all first-class.
The so-called mud legs are to describe the generals in the army.
?Although Jing Jing is a member of the army, he is actually a Confucian general with both civil and military skills. Such a person is not considered a real general. But even so, Li Jing can understand the general, and he knows more about the status of the general.
Li Jing took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions, and he said again: "Your Majesty, your adjustment is naturally excellent. Especially the generals in the army, I am afraid that they will be happy when they hear your arrangement. .Countless generals will treat His Majesty like a god. Because Your Majesty truly treats generals as human beings."
His words came from the heart.
Military generals, most people think, are vulgar people.
As for the real generals, such as the so-called Han Xin and Wei Qing, no one regards them as real generals.
Du Qi smiled and said: "When I act, I only ask my heart and whether it is beneficial to Xia Guo."
Li Jing regained his composure, narrowed his eyes slightly, stroked the beard under his chin, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, although it is a good thing to set up the General Staff Department, but once this matter is arranged in the court, Come on, especially when the civil servants hear the news, there will probably be huge waves. At that time, His Majesty will bear great pressure."
As a person who has experienced the Great Sui, Great Tang, and now Great Xia, Li Jing is well aware of the situation in the court.
So he was worried in his heart.
Du Qi said: "You don't have to worry about this, I have already arranged it. The officials from the six ministries of the court, as well as the other departments, have no objections. This is a confirmed matter. I have notified you, just to tell you That's all the news."
"Your Majesty is holy!"
At this time, Li Jing stood up directly.
He walked to the center of the hall, put his hands together, and bowed to Du Qi, and even after bowing, he knelt down again, saluted Du Qi, and said solemnly: "This move of your majesty can be said to be meritorious." The benefit of the present age will last forever. Countless generals and soldiers will be grateful for His Majesty's kindness. Because of His Majesty's arrangement, the people in the army have a real foothold. It is not to say that only the imperial examination is the only way out. There is a way out."
Du Qi waved his hands and said, "Master Yaoshi, you don't have to do this, get up and talk."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Jing stood up and sat down again.
Du Qi continued: "The establishment of the General Staff Department is because there are too many things to manage. Leaving aside, just talking about the assessment and promotion of soldiers across the country is not a simple matter. In addition, there are weapons and equipment, soldiers' salaries and supplies. , and logistics supplies, etc., after all the things are done, it will be a big project. To put it bluntly, I am afraid that there will be another small six department to ensure the internal operation. "
Li Jing said: "Your Majesty, you really need too many talents to deal with this matter. Especially the most important point, that is, the arrangement of the army is also extremely important. Now the army gathered in the imperial capital, how many There are too many to count. With so many troops gathered together, it is not easy to arrange these properly."
Du Qi took advantage of the situation and talked about the eight major military regions. After making arrangements for the adjustment of the eight major military regions, Du Qi said: "The adjustment of the eight major military regions has also been approved by the six ministries. All the officials of the six ministries agree. Now we need to make adjustments and make sure." Yes, that is the chief general of the eight major military regions, and all arrangements need to be made."
Li Jing said: "Your Majesty, please show me how to arrange it? The old minister will start to arrange it next." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
