Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 584
Chapter 585: Deng Han and Deng Yu Command the Army

The first governors of the newly established Shandong Dao and Xuzhou Dao were appointed under Deng Sheng's dominance. Yu Yunwen, prefect of Yingchuan, was promoted to governor of Shandong Dao, and Huo Guang, governor of Danyang, was promoted to governor of Xuzhou Dao.

"Masters, since the positions of Inspectors of Shandong Province and Xuzhou Province have been decided, let's discuss the issue of the garrison. Now that the border of my Great Deng has been pushed to the line of the Yellow River, the world is very ten, and my Great Deng is the sixth. The army of the twenty guards may not be able to catch up, and expanding the army is already an imperative, but what is the specific amount of the expansion, what do you think?" Deng Sheng said.

When everyone heard the words, they all thought about it. The expansion of the army is not just a matter of talk. There are many interests mixed in. There is a general in one guard, four generals and one guard division. There are tens of thousands of Deng Guozhan generals. It is impossible to satisfy everyone. It is also necessary to carefully consider who can and who cannot.

"Yue Qing, you are the General of the Governor's Mansion, and you know most about military affairs. What do you think?" Deng Sheng saw that no one spoke.He just clicked on Yue Fei's name. As the General of the Governor's Mansion, Yue Fei is duty-bound to this matter.

Yue Fei came out and said: "Your Majesty, now our Great Deng's territory is unprecedentedly vast. The previous twenty guards and 80 elites are no longer enough. I think that at least 20 soldiers and horses should be expanded to increase the number of soldiers and horses in our country. One million, so that we can form an overwhelming advantage over Qin and Zhao, and when we confront Qin and Zhao in the future, we will not fall into the embarrassing situation of having no soldiers to use."

Deng Guo has always implemented a policy of streamlining troops and simplifying administration. Except when Deng Sheng came to the throne, under the threat of Wei, Han, Wu, Jing and other countries, there was a phenomenon of one out of ten. The number of domestic troops was controlled, firstly to reduce the financial burden, and secondly, because the newly merged land, the people did not have a strong sense of belonging to Deng, and forced recruitment might be detrimental to the war, so it was not a big deal. Scale increase.

Now Deng has occupied six-tenths of the world, and the domestic population has exceeded 3000 million. 80 soldiers and horses are no longer enough to suppress the world, and increasing the number of troops to one million is barely enough.

However, too many additional troops is not a good thing for Deng Guo. After all, there are too many recruits, and the burden on money and food is also great. However, it will take some time before it can be transformed into strength. An increase of 20 troops is the most ideal.

Deng Sheng nodded and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then we will increase the number of troops by 20. As for the soldiers, before the start of the Central Plains War, in order to support the Central Plains war at any time, I ordered the General Dudu's Mansion to recruit 20 strong soldiers from all over the country." In Wancheng, the Habayashi guards are responsible for the training. These elites are more suitable than ordinary people. Then divide these 20 people into four guards. Among the four guards, we need to select four generals, ten The six generals and the four military advisers, and the candidates for Zhonglang, Pian, Pi, and Lieutenant in the army also need to be carefully selected. Today, we will first appoint these four generals. What advice does the government have?"

This time, the three giants who came to Qianyang Palace from the Governor's Mansion, General Yue Fei, General Yang Yanzhao of Hussars, and General Chang Yuchun of Chariots.

The three of them were carefully considering the candidates, and after a long time, Yang Yanzhao came out and said: "Your Majesty, all the generals in the army are good generals of the country, and there are many people who have the qualifications and ability to be the generals of any guard, but this time In the battle of the Central Plains, I also found two good talents, in terms of ability, they did not belong to any generals in the army, and I thought they were competent."

"Oh? I don't know who Yang Qing recommended?" Deng Sheng was also very interested. Yang Yanzhao has always been wise and safe, and he rarely admires others so much. The person who can make Yang Yanzhao take the initiative to recommend must have the talent to stabilize the country.

Yang Yanzhao said: "Your Majesty, the minister recommended none other than His Highness King Jin and King Wei. During the Battle of the Central Plains, the two Highnesses performed very well and were deeply loved by the generals. , led the partial division to the north alone, advanced and retreated well, and showed the style of a general, I think that the two highnesses are more than enough to serve as the generals of Yiwei, and please learn from your majesty!"

As soon as Yang Yanzhao said this, everyone present was shocked. They did not expect that Yang Yanzhao would recommend Deng Sheng's two sons, Deng Han and Deng Yu. Indeed, Deng Sheng's sons were all dragons and phoenixes. No matter where they are placed, they are outstanding. If they are just generals in the army, with such abilities, it is of course no problem to be the generals of Yiwei, but they are the sons of Deng Sheng, so it is different.

Now that the reserve position of Deng Guo has been determined, Deng Hao's position as the crown prince can be said to be very stable. Unless there are some major changes, the other princes will have no chance, but if Deng Han and Deng Yu are in control If Deng Han and Deng Yu make great contributions to the war between Qin and Zhao in the future, the military It is difficult for the soldiers in the army to guarantee that they will not support them, which is very detrimental to the inheritance of Deng Guo.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Deng Hao. Sure enough, Deng Hao's face became extremely ugly. Deng Sheng had five sons in his life. Under the guidance of Deng Sheng and the concubines in the harem, the brothers also had a very good relationship. As the elder brother, Deng Hao also loves his younger brothers very much, and takes the initiative to undertake everything, and the younger brothers also respect him very much.

But this is only on the premise that these younger brothers have no threat to their status. In the past, although Deng Han and Deng Yu had outstanding talents, they didn't have much room to display them. In addition, the mother clan did not have any great influence. , so Deng Hao didn't think too much about the two of them. As for Deng Zun, who was loved by Deng Sheng and Cai Yan the most, because of his young age, Deng Hao also felt that he was not a big threat for the time being, and Deng Hao had been the prince for so many years. , coupled with the supervision of the country in the past few years, has already formed its own power in the court.

But once Deng Han and Deng Yu become the generals of the First Guard and hold heavy soldiers, it is inevitable that they will not have other ideas. Maybe there will be no problems now. After all, Deng Sheng is still there. As long as Deng Sheng is still there, Deng Han He and Deng Yu didn't dare to make any changes, but if Deng Sheng was gone, Deng Hao wouldn't dare to imagine what the two of them would do, but Deng Hao couldn't speak out against it. If he himself spoke up against it, Didn't he tell Deng Sheng that he was afraid of Deng Han and Deng Yu?This will definitely cause Deng Sheng's displeasure, so Deng Hao dare not and cannot object.

But Deng Hao can think of this level, and those ministers must also be able to think that once Deng Han and Deng Yu take charge of the army, it will be detrimental to the stability of the country, which is not something these ministers can see. Assuming a high position, he will definitely rely more on the generals in the army, which is unacceptable to the civilian group.

So Cui Hao was the first to object and said: "Your Majesty, absolutely not, His Royal Highness Jin Wang and Wei Wang are still young, and their prestige in the army is not high. The people in the army are convinced, besides, the prince is in charge of the army, which has never happened in ancient times, please think twice, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, please think again!" All the civil servants agreed.

Seeing that his proposal was unanimously opposed by the civil society, Yang Yanzhao panicked. Yang Yanzhao was just a pure soldier and didn't have too many ideas. He recommended Deng Han and Deng Yu only because he thought these two people could be made. He is not inferior to the generals of the guards, but he didn't think too much about it. Seeing so many people objecting, he quickly turned his attention to Yue Fei and Chang Yuchun, hoping that they could speak for themselves.

Yue Fei and Chang Yuchun are also frowning. There are natural conflicts between civil servants and generals, and this has existed for thousands of years. Although Deng Guo is now working hard for the unification of the world, it is not There is no contradiction, but it has not been put on the table. Now that the civil service group is unanimously opposed to Yang Yanzhao, they naturally have to help one or two.

"Everyone, matters in the army are decided by His Majesty and the General's Governor's Mansion. You are civil servants. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to interfere in military affairs like this?" Yue Fei still restrained himself, but Chang Yuchun couldn't help it. Well, now Yang Yanzhao just made a recommendation, but he didn't make a final decision, so he was collectively opposed by the civil servants. If they were allowed to succeed easily, wouldn't they die on the necks of generals like them in the future?
"Chang Cheqi's words are wrong. Whether it is military or political affairs, it is my Great Deng's business. As the ministers of Great Deng, we are the so-called eating the king's salary and worrying about the king. If there is something wrong, no matter it is Whether it is government affairs or military affairs, we should also point out, why should there be a distinction between civil and military affairs? I often ride like this, do you think that military affairs have nothing to do with our civil officials?" The civil servants did not show any weakness, and only Zhang Bin came out directly Said.

"You..." Chang Yuchun didn't expect Zhang Bin to go online like this. When it comes to fighting on the battlefield, Chang Yuchun looks down on Zhang Bin, but when it comes to flirting, even ten Chang Yuchun are not one Zhang Bin. Bin's opponent.

"Ms. Zhang is serious!" At this time, Yue Fei, who was No.1 in the army, came out and said: "Yang Huanqi and Chang Cheqi are both thinking about Deng, and recommending the two highnesses is also because the two highnesses are worthy. The position of General Yiwei has no selfishness, so why should you be aggressive, as for the qualifications of the two Highnesses, it is up to His Majesty to decide, so why do you adults do it for you?"

"Okay, stop arguing!" At this moment, Deng Sheng stopped the quarrel, and then asked Deng Hao beside him, "Hao'er, what do you think about Yang Qing recommending your two younger brothers?"

Deng Hao said: "Returning to my father, the second and third younger brothers are both dragons and phoenixes, and they are also quite accomplished in military affairs. Teacher Huangfu and Teacher Murong also highly respected the two younger brothers before they were alive. It is not impossible for the third brother to be the general of Yiwei."

Deng Hao also expressed his thoughts. Although he really didn't want to see Deng Han and Deng Yu become generals of the first guard, he had to admit that Deng Han and Deng Yu had military accomplishments. To be honest, if Deng Han He and Deng Yu are not his own younger brothers, and being in charge of the army will threaten his status, and Deng Hao is also happy to see it succeed.

Deng Sheng could tell that Deng Hao was also insincere. That's right. As a prince, the future king of a country, how could Deng Hao tolerate existence that threatened his status?How can it be that as Deng Sheng's son, he is qualified to inherit Deng Sheng's position. Although there are some distinctions between concubine and concubines, don't forget that Deng Sheng is not the son or eldest son of Deng Sheng. inside?

But Deng Sheng has his own ideas. Both Deng Han and Deng Yu have been implanted by Deng Sheng with the potential of historical giants. If they are not given a space to display their potential, these potentials will never be transformed into strength, and the brothers Deng Han and Deng Yu Both of them hope to realize their ambitions in the army, if they can't realize it because of their identities, I'm afraid they will feel resentment in the future, and Deng Sheng doesn't want them to be abandoned.

So I thought about it.In the end, he followed Yang Yanzhao's suggestion and said: "The new four guards, I named them Qianniuwei, An Guowei, Feipengwei, and Taishanwei. Jin Wang Deng Han will be the general of Qianniuwei, and Wei Wang Dengyu will be the general of Anguowei. General!"

"Your Majesty, think twice, this is the way to create chaos, absolutely not!" Cui Hao and the others were shocked when they heard this, they never expected that Deng Sheng would actually appoint Deng Han and Deng Yu as Generals of the Guards, Feeling bad, he hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him. Even Deng Hao, who was at the side, had an unnatural expression.

But Deng Sheng has made up his mind, and how can he change it so easily, so he said: "Stop talking, I have made up my mind. As for the candidates for Feipengwei and Taishanwei, Hao'er, it's up to you and the general." The general and the governor's office will make a decision together."

Deng Sheng also knew that this matter was a little sorry for Deng Hao, so he simply handed over the candidates for the generals of Feipengwei and Taishanwei to Deng Hao, which was also to cultivate power in the army for Deng Hao. Facing a few brothers is not without confidence.

"Here!" Deng Hao also knew that this was Deng Sheng's compensation to him, but since there was no way to change Deng Sheng's mind, then it was up to him to choose the candidates for the generals of Feipengwei and Taishanwei. Sheng is handing Feipengwei and Taishanwei to himself. As long as he can hold Feipengwei and Taishanwei tightly in his hands, then Deng Han and Deng Han, who will hold heavy opponents against each other in the future, will have no choice.

Seeing that Deng Hao also compromised, a group of ministers had no choice but to give up, but they had already made up their minds, they must help Deng Hao control Feipengwei and Taishanwei, and at the same time help Deng Hao win over the generals in the army, so as not to In the future, if Deng Han and Deng Yu really have bad ideas, they will be at a loss.
