I'm a marquis in Datang

In all the Chinese dynasties, the Song Dynasty suppressed the army the most, and the generals had the least status.Although Da Song's economy is extremely developed, Da Song was the worst beaten and suppressed everywhere.

Du Qi didn't want to see this happen.

As Du Qi's confidant, Liu Zhengxi heard Du Qi's words and understood Du Qi's intentions, but he didn't care about Du Qi's thoughts, and said directly: "Your Majesty, once the power of the general in the army increases, it is very likely to threaten Xia. The safety of the country!"

Du Qidao: "Oh, what are the examples in the past dynasties?"

Liu Zhengxi said: "For example, in the late Han Dynasty, local officials controlled the army, causing chaos in the local area. Therefore, we must be cautious when dealing with the army, and we must not let our guard down."

Du Qi said in a deep voice: "You just said that it was the local officials who controlled the army. At the end of the Han Dynasty, even though the world was in chaos, the court was full of traitors, eunuchs were in power, and the emperor had no way."

"Actually, the reason for the chaos is that the imperial court used state shepherds to control the military and political power, which made the local area bigger. In the final analysis, this is not a problem with the army. It is the civilian officials who control the army and have ambitions."

"So this point, your argument is completely untenable. Liu Shangshu, the generals in the army are extremely hard, especially on the battlefield, they risk their lives. It is not easy for them, so we must be considerate of them."

Du Qidao: "Don't blame everything on them."

At this moment, Du Qi's tone was very serious.

Soldiers, it's not easy.

Soldiers, even in the eyes of civilian officials, are like mud legs.Du Qi didn't want Xia Guo to fall into such a situation, and he should protect these difficult soldiers.

Liu Zhengxi and the others frowned, because Du Qi's attitude was very firm. Under such a premise, it was not easy for them to suppress the army.

Du Qi said in a deep voice: "Of course, there will be some reforms regarding the army."

Liu Zhengxi took advantage of the situation and said, "Please show me, Your Majesty."

The rest of the people also looked at Du Qi.

In today's Xia Kingdom, Du Qi can settle all affairs in the court with one word, because Du Qi has enough prestige and influence.Generally speaking, the founding kings are like this, that is, at the end of the dynasty, the power of the courtiers rises, the influence of the courtiers increases, and the imperial power weakens, only then will the courtiers block the emperor.

Du Qi said slowly: "Xia Kingdom's territory is extremely vast, far stronger than the Han and Tang Dynasties. If all the troops were collected near the imperial capital, once there was chaos in the area, the consequences would be disastrous when the army arrived. So the most fundamental thing is to have troops stationed there.

Tie everywhere.Only the presence of troops can ensure the safety of various places.If I withdraw from Liaodong Road, Cui Yongli has been arranged to garrison Liaodong Road to ensure the safety of Liaodong Road. "

After a pause, Du Qi continued: "This time I withdrew from Chang'an and returned, leaving Xiao Yuanqi in Chang'an to ensure the safety of Chang'an and even the rest of the country."

Liu Zhengxi said: "Your Majesty, there are still certain risks in such an arrangement."

Du Qidao: "What risk?"

Chapter 1403 Division of Districts

Districts

Since it was going to involve the adjustment of the army, Du Qi also talked to everyone carefully, explaining the army's affairs thoroughly, then the army will form a customary rule in the future, and there will be no big fluctuations.

In fact, the reason for the chaos in the past dynasties, such as the situation in which the Han Dynasty fell by force, was because of the establishment of state pastors, which led to the rise of local princes.If the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, it was also because of the emergence of Jiedu Envoys in the local area who took over the military and political power.

As for the collapse of other dynasties, it may not be all because of the army.

It is more likely that the emperor is stunned and the courtiers rebel.

So it's not necessarily true how much of a threat the army is.

In Liu Zhengxi's heart, he felt that the army was a threat. After all, literati naturally believed that 'warriority will surely lead to death', so he thought it was inappropriate for the army to have too much power, and the chief general in the army should be weakened.

Liu Zhengxi said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the army is stationed in various places. What if there is chaos in the local area? The army rebelled and swept all over the place, and the consequences would be disastrous. The local government cannot control the army, so once the army is in chaos, it will be a heinous chaos."

Du Qi said: "Liu Shangshu, the army is not so easy to mess up."

Liu Zhengxi said: "No matter what, since there is such a problem, the danger must be eliminated, and the possible problem must be killed in the cradle."

Du Qidao: "Army must be set up in various places. Only in this way can there be an army that can directly suppress the chaos when there is chaos in the local area."

As soon as these words came out, everyone knew Du Qi's attitude.

It is already imperative.

Liu Zhengxi also frowned.

Because he said so many things back and forth, but Du Qi still insisted on strengthening the army.

Guo Xiaozheng took the words, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty wants to strengthen the army, and even put the army in place. Then, what is your majesty's consideration, please tell your majesty, let me take a look at it."

Du Qi said in a deep voice: "My preliminary plan for the division of the army is to set up eight military regions within the entire Great Xia Kingdom to guard all parts of the country."

Guo Xiaozheng said: "Your Majesty, where are the eight major military regions established?"

Du Qidao: "Today, with the Imperial Capital City as the center, the First Military Region has been established, which is responsible for the jurisdiction of the states north of the Imperial Capital City, that is, Gandhara State and other places, all of which are under the jurisdiction of the First Army."

"In the area where Nanzhu Road is located, set up a second military region to be responsible for the jurisdiction of the states south of the Imperial City."

The so-called Nanzhu Road is actually the area where the Chalouqi Dynasty was located in the past.

These areas are transformed into a road, and the states are set up below.

Du Qi continued: "In Gaochang Prefecture, the third military region was established to be responsible for the stability of the states in the Western Regions. The fourth military region was established in Chang'an to be responsible for the stability of the entire Guanlong and even the entire Northwest region."

"Set up the Fifth Military Region in Qianzhong Road, responsible for the stability of Shu, Guizhou, and Lingnan regions; set up the Sixth Military Region in Jiangdu, responsible for the stability of the entire Jiangnan region; set up the Seventh Army in Zhuo County, responsible for Henan Road and Hebei Road Wait for the northeast region."

Du Qi finally said: "As for the Eighth Army, it is set up on Liaodong Road and sits on Liaodong Road."

Du Qi has considered the eight military regions.

On the way back from Chang'an, Du Qi had been thinking about it.Originally, Du Qi called the people under his command to discuss and arrange something, but he didn't expect that the civil servants headed by Liu Zhengxi would have such a big reaction.

In desperation, Du Qi could only make a direct decision.

Du Qi glanced over the crowd, and he could see the worry on their faces.In fact, for most civil servants in this era, that is such a fear, so Du Qi arranged the army to the local area, and everyone was worried.

Du Qi was not in a hurry, and said neither in a hurry nor in a hurry: "The purpose of the establishment of the eight major military regions is to control the localities and play a role in assisting the localities. However, the generals of the military regions will not intervene in local government affairs or participate in local governance."

After a pause, Du Qi said again: "The generals of the military region are only in charge of the training and other matters of the army, and the adjustment of the generals of the army should be in charge of the imperial court. This responsible department is placed under the staff department, which governs all military affairs. , belongs directly to me, and reports directly to me."

"Your Majesty!"

Liu Zhengxi spoke directly.

He stood up quickly, and said directly: "Your Majesty, the establishment of a military region is nothing more than that. The military affairs of the major military regions are also the affairs of the court. How can they be directly assigned to the staff department? This matter is not appropriate!"

Guo Xiaozheng also said: "Your Majesty, I also think something is wrong."

The rest, Yuan Yin, Yi Fusheng and others expressed their opinions one after another.

However, Yu Deshui, the bad handsome man, Jin Wuque, the imperial censor, Wang Ji, the prince of the state offering wine, and Zhang Jingping, the minister of the Dali Temple, never made a statement.
