Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Li Ke's words made all the ministers extremely speechless. Is this exciting?This is fucking exciting!The problem is that they wanted to oppose some of Li Ke's previous measures, but the measures Li Ke proposed this time...they didn't want to oppose them.

Because it is also related to their own interests. Everyone has selfishness. Although these ministers are not all for their own selfishness, what is wrong with their own selfishness while ensuring the national interest?

At least in the current Tang Dynasty, there is no problem with this kind of atmosphere.

Li Ke is not prepared to change, or in other words, the ministers of this generation cannot be changed. If there are not enough descendants to replace them, this kind of court controlled by talents from aristocratic families will never change.

These people have been looking for a balance all their lives, a balance between their own interests and the interests of the country, and even most ministers put their own interests above the interests of the country.

This made Li Ke involuntarily think of an episode of a TV series in later generations. When He Shen was old, he discovered that his son Fengshen Yinde had embezzled money. As a result, the man who had been embezzling all his life almost had a heart attack, and then directly killed him. His son called the ancestral hall, and then asked for family law.

From this clip, it can be seen that He Shen doesn't understand the harm of silver?He understands better than anyone else, that's why he hopes that his son can be clean. Maybe at that time He Shen knew that his life would be over sooner or later, but he couldn't stop.

"By the way, all generals, please come to Liangyi Hall for a meeting later." Li Ke stood up and explained again. "If it's okay, I'll retreat to court. You can think about it when you go back."

Everyone: "..."

The more I think about this kind of thing, the more I can't refuse it.

Regarding Li Ke calling these military generals, these civil servants did not say much. The content of these meetings will definitely be released later. With so many people attending the meeting, it is impossible to keep it completely secret.

Of course, it's not absolute, it depends on how much temptation His Royal Highness Qin Wang gave them.

After coming out of the Hall of Taiji, Li Ke returned to the Hall of Liangyi. Later, Li Jing and others rushed here one after another. When Li Jing and the others came in, they were stunned.

Because at this moment, the table where Li Shimin originally worked in Liangyi Hall was surrounded by memorials, and a large pile of memorials was piled directly on the ground behind the desk, and a large pile of memorials was also piled up in front of the table.

Your Highness is too diligent.

Has your Highness finished reading this?Besides, where are there so many memorials?

"Look at the seat." Li Ke waved his hand, and naturally a little eunuch brought up the chairs next to him, making these generals sit down.

It should be mentioned here that when Li Ke supervised the country, there was a living man who followed him. He did not supervise the country, but if he supervised the country, he would follow a living man whenever he dealt with state affairs.

After everyone sat down, Li Ke said with a smile: "Everyone, you should have understood what happened to me in the court just now."

"Now, I'll just ask a question, and you give me an answer." Li Ke said with a smile.

"Please speak, Your Highness." Everyone said in succession.

"You are all generals. If one day I let you cut off from all the administration, that is to say, you will be pure soldiers from now on! You will no longer be responsible for any administrative affairs, such as the servant of the Ministry of punishment, etc., will you be willing?" Li Ke asked with a smile.

Li Jing and all the generals were stunned for a moment, cut off from the administration?Pure soldiers and generals?In fact, when they were generals, they still had many administrative positions. For example, Li Daozong's deputy governor actually had the right to handle administrative affairs.

It can be said that it was caught by the military and government.

"This...Your Highness, it's not that we oppose it, but how far we want to cut it? And is this really possible?" Li Shiji who was next to him hesitated and asked.

Li Shiji's current position is not obvious. Dr. Jin Ziguanglu is actually a casual official. He is in charge of consultants and has no specific affairs. But as a soldier, he definitely wants to make meritorious service.

"Let me put it this way, maybe it won't be long before the Tang Dynasty, and the military system will change from the current military system to professional soldiers." Li Ke thought for a while and said, Li Ke knows the advantages and disadvantages of the military system, and the advantages are beyond doubt. Sufficient soldiers, after a period of war, veterans can be seen almost everywhere, and there is almost no burden on the court tax, which can easily support a large number of soldiers.

But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, in the early days of the dynasty, the combat effectiveness of the government soldiers can be guaranteed, but in the middle and late stages of the dynasty, the combat effectiveness of the government soldiers will show a precipitous decline, because with the gradual prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, the government soldiers The corvee that can be exempted is not attractive to the common people.

Most people would rather pay taxes than serve, so the combat effectiveness of the government soldiers naturally declined. Secondly, there were many generals of ethnic minorities in Datang, such as Qibi Heli, etc. These generals were also very loyal to Datang.

But there is a shortcoming. Because of the military system, they will lead the soldiers within their own area of ​​rule, or within their own ethnic minorities. Once the military system collapses and turns into a recruiting system, these ethnic minorities will quickly have loyal troops, such as Anshi Rebellion.

The key to solving these problems naturally lies in the professional military system of later generations.

But the requirements of professional soldiers are also very high. Datang needs to have a strong tax guarantee. With sufficient food, Li Ke can play this point.It's just the plundering of resources. There are so many countries around Datang, enough plundering.

Another requirement for professional soldiers is that honor and responsibility must keep up.

In fact, the sense of honor of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty is very strong even in the military system, as can be seen from the white-haired army of later generations, but this is not enough.

The honor and responsibility of the soldiers are not only the soldiers themselves, but also go deep into every common people in Datang, this is the key!So Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng's first essay solicitation plan is one of the keys.

The second is the three sets of soldiers that Li Ke once mentioned to Li Chengqian. It is not an exaggeration to say that the improvement of the sense of honor, mission, and responsibility of soldiers is inevitable after the three sets.

At that time, the professional military system will have a basis for implementation. Serving as a soldier is no longer for not being hungry, not for making a living, but for the country, the nation, and the people.

The fighting power between the two is not the same.

In ancient times, an army that could destroy 1000% without collapsing was elite, but those martyrs after more than [-] years, [-]%?What kind of courage and belief is supporting the determination that only one person is left to fight to the end?That is a powerful force that future generations will never be able to empathize with!

Therefore, if the country wants to be strong all the time, this transformation is inevitable!
