The days when I was working in the West Factory

Chapter 462
"what?"

After being invited by Zhang Wei to enter the inner hall, Zhao Yu was shocked when he heard Zhang Wei's words.

"My lord, don't be surprised..."

Zhang Wei smiled lightly, then reached out to fill a cup of fragrant tea for Zhao Yu, and said softly: "The abolition of the guard system has been advocated by the old man from the very beginning!"

Who can believe that the leader in maintaining the Weisuo system is actually the first to propose to the new emperor to abolish the Weisuo system?
"The guard has been inherited for hundreds of years, there are very few soldiers capable of fighting, and the generals are slack in armaments, which has already become the biggest obstacle to the new dynasty's stable foundation.

This time, the barbarians from all directions invaded the Central Plains, among which the Tartars outside Liaobei and the barbarians in the southwest were all secretly colluded by old people.

And the purpose of doing this is to push the soldiers of the guards to the front. Since they don't want to be abolished, they have to prove the need for their existence! "

Listening to Zhang Wei's explanation, Zhao Yu slowly raised his head and asked, "So, the barbarians invaded the Central Plains, and it was also your handwriting, in order to clean up the guards?"

"good."

Zhang Wei nodded.Then he continued: "Although the Weisuo system is rotten, there are still millions of people on the register, and there are at least 160 million soldiers regardless of the empty salary.

And although it is difficult for these military soldiers to resist the enemy with their troops, their single-handed abolition will definitely provoke a mutiny. Master Zhao must be more aware of the consequences of being coerced by millions of people than the old man! "

Zhao Yu opened his mouth when he heard the words, but in the end he could only nod his head.

What Zhang Wei said is correct, although the soldiers in the current guard do not have the slightest combat effectiveness, that is only for the barbarians.

Once these people mutiny, the internal impact will definitely exceed everyone's imagination.

This is called, more success than failure!
"Aren't they clamoring to defend their home and country, so this old man will give them such a chance."

With that said, Zhang Wei got up, and took out a stack of thick booklets from a hidden compartment on the wall of the inner hall.

Putting the booklet in front of everyone, Zhang Wei said: "This is the guard book that the old man secretly consulted. It records the registered households of 370 million guard soldiers."

Looking at the thick books in front of him, Zhao Yu looked sideways.

As for this item, the amount of food and salaries allocated by the imperial court every year is an unimaginable figure.

The new dynasty is not stable, and disasters continue in the world, but Zhao Yu also understands that these people have made meritorious deeds of their ancestors, and if there is a shortage of money, they will definitely use their merits to make trouble.

Therefore, once the Ministry of Households distributes food and salaries, the first consideration is these guys who are lying on the credit books of their ancestors and waiting to die.

"With 370 million military soldiers, the vacancy has reached 210 million..."

Before Zhao Yu could figure out what was going on, Zhang Wei dropped another bombshell.

Among these people, nearly two-thirds are still empty, and all these things have fallen into the pockets of the generals made by the maintenance guards.

"As for the remaining 160 million guardsmen, I plan to divide them into four groups and send them to Fujian, Liaodong, Datong and Tongguan respectively!"

Zhang Wei took out a roll of geographical maps, pointed to the four directions above and said: "Among them, Tongguan has the least number of people, and only 50 people can be sent. After all, it is all about suppressing mobs, and the rest, every [-] all the way, the leading generals have already been selected."

As he said that, Zhang Wei once again gave a list of leading generals, no surprises, these people were carefully selected by Zhang Wei, the instigator.

"The remaining three routes are sent to Datong, Liaodong and Fujian..."

Zhao Yu looked at the three red lines drawn on the map, frowned slightly and asked Zhang Wei, "What about Tianjin Wei?"

In the past few days in the capital, Zhao Yu has already learned many things from An Jianqing.

"Tianjin Wei is different from other places. The Japanese pirates have already occupied Chaoyu, and they are now raising their troops. If the soldiers of the guards are sent to Tianjin Wei, there will be big mistakes. Therefore, what Tianjin Wei needs is serious soldiers who can fight. !"

Although Zhang Wei may be considered an old Confucian scholar, he has already mastered the analysis and grasp of war to the point of proficiency.

There is nothing wrong with Zhang Wei's saying that old people are monsters.

"A soldier who can fight? Who can take on this important task?"

Zhao Yu frowned slightly, he thought of the news that An Jianqing had told him.

When heading to Wushuang City, the new emperor ordered Juexin to accompany him, but after leaving the capital, this guy disappeared.

In the next few months, the Japanese pirates actually drove straight in, broke through Chaoyu, and directed their troops at the new Dynasty in the Central Plains!

You don't need to ask, you know, it must be this little brat who is playing tricks inside.

"Master of the Shenji Camp, Fu Lin!"

Zhang Wei glanced at Zhao Yu, and then said word by word.

"When the new emperor drove the Bing Zhansi out of the capital, you were already planning this step?"

Zhao Yu wasn't surprised at all, just looked at the map in front of him, and said lightly.

"Master Zhao is really amazing!"

Zhang Wei smiled slightly and nodded towards Zhao Yu.

"160 million people..."

But Zhao Yu didn't answer, but just looked up at the thick roster.

"This is also impossible."

Zhang Wei shook his head, and then explained softly: "Xinchao can't afford so many maggots, this seemingly life-and-death battle, for Xinchao and the soldiers of the guard, is a time to get rid of the dross and keep the essence process!"

"After the Fourth World War, anyone who can survive can be incorporated into the new army."

Zhang Wei stretched out his hand, poured out the herbal tea in front of Zhao Yu, and then poured another cup of Xinchao, and then said slowly: "The old man also said before that, if you don't want to go to the border to resist the enemy, you can go to the yamen where you are." As long as you cancel your Weisuo registration, you don’t need to go to the border.”

"It's just that in this way, the so-called hereditary replacement has no thought at all. In terms of emotion, reason and law, they have nothing to say..."

Yang conspiracy!

After Zhang Wei finished speaking, these two words suddenly appeared in Zhao Yu's mind.

Go, narrow escape.

If you don't go, the hereditary replacement will become a thing of the past.

"My lord Zhao, I've lived my life to this age with the help of the old and the old. It's just that the time is coming to an end. After all, I think it's absurd that a person should do one or two things that surprise others in one lifetime. That's fine..."

Zhang Wei picked up the teacup, with a slight smile on his face, but he said very seriously.

"Hehe, looking at the old Shoufu's posture, the abolition of the guard system seems to be just an appetizer!"

Zhao Yu could tell that the old man in front of him felt that his time was running out, and he had completely let himself go!

Once this kind of person starts, it is impossible to abolish this seemingly tricky but easy-to-handle guard!

"That's right, dismantling the guards is the first step, and the next step is to scare those nobles!"

The more Zhang Wei talked, the more excited he became.

In the end, seeing the old man with shining eyes made Zhao Yu feel cold in his heart.
