When Li Junxian got up the next day, Mulan helped Li Junxian get dressed. "Jun Xian, I'm afraid that the emperor will announce the establishment of the General Staff today. As for Li Jing serving as the chief of staff, there will be no problem. But if I serve as Zuo's deputy commander, this may cause a lot of trouble! Those other people may They will stop me because I am a woman, so what should I do?" Mulan asked. Li Junxian thought for a moment and said, "You have to prove your ability. Now it's just the emperor who supports you, but if you don't prove your ability, I'm afraid others won't convince you. But the General Staff has just been established. I¡¯m afraid you don¡¯t have a chance to prove your ability. In this case, you should take the initiative to propose a proposal so that everyone can see that you have real materials. This proposal must be big enough and sensational enough, so that they can recognize you.¡± Li Junxian actually guessed Li Shimin's idea, which was to make Mulan the deputy chief of the General Staff. In fact, this position was given to Li Junxian. Although Li Junxian was already qualified, he took on the responsibility of teaching and educating people and training reserve officers for the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, this position can only be placed on Mulan for the time being, so that Li Junxian can display his talents, and it can also be regarded as a favor to Li Junxian's family. Moreover, this can be said to be rising and falling secretly. The special guards used to have superior combat effectiveness, but now they have been transferred to the General Staff as deputy chiefs, which means that the military power is relieved. Li Shimin also had some thoughts of compensation, so Mulan was able to become the deputy chief of the General Staff. "Then what motion should I propose?" Mulan asked. "I'll give it to you!" Li Junxian said. Since you are a husband, how can you not help your wife when she is in trouble? Although Mulan is actually much stronger than Li Junxian in specific combat aspects, Li Junxian is much more far-sighted than Mulan in terms of military insights. Moreover, Mulan is also relatively poor politically, so she needs Li Junxianla's help to make up for this. This is the difference. Husbands and wives need to complement each other, and Li Junxian and Mulan can currently complement each other. And Dugu Yiren just made up for Li Junxian's economic thinking. As for Zheng Liwan. The level of political struggle is much stronger than that of Li Junxian, which is also a redeeming aspect. Soon, a plan on military establishment was completed, and Mulan and Li Junxian came to the palace. "I announce that the Tang Dynasty will establish a general staff, which will be responsible for researching and formulating the military development program of the Tang Dynasty, and commanding the army during war. It will also be responsible for formulating combat plans for imaginary enemies." Li Shimin said. "Your Majesty is wise!" Everyone knows that the General Staff must be established, and at that time Li Junxian's special guard relied on the staff to help fight, and everything went smoothly. Now Datang is also setting up a general staff. That would be considered a significant contribution to Datang. "The General Staff of the Tang Dynasty has set up a chief, who is responsible for commanding the General Staff, and is directly responsible to me. I appointed Li Jing as the chief of the General Staff, a third-rank official." Li Shimin said. Next, a chorus of praises rang out, obviously praising Li Shimin for his wisdom and praising Li Jing, the newly appointed "Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces." The general staff is actually not much different from the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Although he is only an indirect commander, his status is not low. And Li Jing is well-deserved for his position. No one has any opinions. Now everyone is concerned about who will be Li Jing¡¯s deputy? According to convention, every yamen has a chief officer, so naturally there must be an adjutant. Such people were called auxiliary officers in ancient times. It is also a very important position. And this deputy probably has a lot of real power, so everyone is keeping an eye on him! "There are two deputy chiefs under this General Staff, namely the left and right deputy chiefs. The left deputy chief is from the third rank. The right deputy chief is about the fourth rank. As for the right deputy chief, Liu Hongji should be the one!" Li Shimin said. Liu Hongji can be said to be a veteran of Li Tang, and now he is serving as Wei Qing. But this real power is very small. Now that he has been transferred to serve as the right deputy chief of the General Staff, it can be said that he was promoted openly and secretly, and most people would not have any objections. But what everyone is more concerned about is the deputy commander Zuo, which is almost equivalent to the position of deputy commander-in-chief. Although his rank is not high, his real power is considerable, so everyone is very concerned about him. Li Shimin looked at the ministers, and then said: "As for the deputy minister Zuo, I plan to let Wei Mulan, Duke of Liang, take the position!" "What?" "How is this possible?" "Your Majesty, what is going on?" A large group of people began to exclaim. Apparently Li Shimin's behavior surprised them too much. Mulan was previously made a duke of the country, which had already surprised everyone. Mulan can be said to be the first person to obtain the title of Duke as a woman, and now she is actually serving as the deputy chief of the general staff again. This is almost a historical precedent again. ?Mulan was also the first woman to serve as deputy commander-in-chief of the army. And if this is done, how can Mulan establish her majesty? A deputy commander without his own prestige may be a bit unreliable! But they had no idea that what Li Shimin needed was a deputy commander without prestige, and Mulan fit Li Shimin's idea exactly. Although he has the ability, he cannot gain much prestige due to his gender, so he can only carry out his work by relying on Li Jing's authorization. Isn¡¯t this a very suitable person? That's why Li Shimin was so supportive. "Your Majesty, I don't believe it!" Liu Hongji said first. Although Liu Hongji is also the deputy chief, he is the junior right deputy chief. If Deputy Chief Zuo was someone else, I'm afraid Liu Hongji would recognize him. But it was Mulan, a woman, so he couldn't accept it. I am suppressed by a woman. I am afraid not everyone can understand this. However, Mulan took the initiative and said, "Your Majesty, I have a proposal, please discuss it with the experts." "Speak!" Li Shimin said. Li Shimin knew that this was probably Li Junxian supporting his wife, so he came up with a bill. Mulan is Li Junxian's representative in front of the stage, and Li Junxian goes to teach and educate people, and is relieved of military power. This is a very good method, which does not allow Li Junxian to directly control the army, but also allows Li Junxian to display his talents. Now that Li Junxian wants to help Mulan establish her prestige, Li Shimin, as the emperor, will naturally support her. "Your Majesty, my proposal is to unite the guards into the army." Mulan said.
