() Xi Jian no longer knew that this was the first time he was shocked today. What was the difference between such an emperor and a puppet? However, when he came back to his senses and thought about it carefully, he was fundamentally different from puppets like Sima.

The emperor had no decision-making power at all, and Yunfeng's plan was to limit the emperor's power within a framework. He would still have considerable power if he did not exceed the framework.

Xi Jian couldn't help but meditate. The more he savored it, the more he realized the beauty of it. His eyes shot towards Yunfeng with a strange light, and his heart was full of admiration. You know, it is easy to seize power but difficult to delegate it. Even if

Even if the ancient Yao and Shun were reincarnated, it would be impossible for them to be so thorough!

After a long time, Xi Jian's thoughts gradually recovered, but he frowned slightly, and another question came to his mind, so he asked: "The King of Qin suddenly disliked me for being wordy. Since ancient times, there have been countless people who violated laws and regulations with strong soldiers. How about strong soldiers?"

A powerful king can do whatever he wants because he holds military power. If I mean, if one day the Senate disagrees with you and you can't bear it and use the army, wouldn't that mean that the Senate is worthless?"

Military power is the foundation of a political power. Xi Jian's words pointed out the core issue...

Yunfeng said without hesitation: "This is a good question from Shangshu Ling. I already have a preliminary plan, which is to nationalize the army!"

"Huh?" Xi Jian asked quickly: "What is the nationalization of the military?"

Yunfeng explained: "After the world is unified, in principle, Gu will no longer lead the army on expeditions, unless it is a major battle related to the life and death of the country, but this must be authorized by the Senate! And any troop movement of more than 500 people must be authorized by the emperor.

Only a seal issued jointly with the Senate can be effective. The Senate must obtain a majority of more than 60% to issue a seal. Both are indispensable. Otherwise, the leading general will be charged with treason!

Another problem is the personal guard. It is still the unification of the world. The Guhui will reorganize the personal guard, including the personal troops of generals at all levels, and select the best to establish the Guard Department. Some of the former personal guards will be assigned to Rusi Li School.

Hold positions such as captaincy.

As for Gu, only two thousand male and female personal guards were left to guard the clan. At the same time, generals were not allowed to have any more personal soldiers. All personal soldiers belonged to the Guards Department, and the court issued salaries and weapons and equipment, and were stationed according to their levels.

To the generals, no more than twenty people can be allowed during leisure time, and no more than two hundred people can be employed during wartime!"

In fact, Yunfeng took the initiative to reorganize the most powerful personal guards and thought about it for a long time. This was completely a helpless move in line with the development of the times. He did not really give up on the personal guards he had built, at least it was difficult to accept it emotionally. The personal guards

They are all his most caring and loyal warriors!

However, with the popularization and application of long-range high-power weapons and the continuous improvement of weapons and equipment in the foreseeable future, relying on personal bravery to fight is both costly and of limited effectiveness. The overwhelming advantage of personal guards over ordinary soldiers is gradually being lost.

This is a new situation that Yunfeng only realized when he annihilated Han Yong. It is conceivable that if the bodyguards of pure cavalry are fighting against the ballista formation, the result will be to recreate the tragic and tragic situation when Seng Gelinqin of the Qing Dynasty used cavalry to attack the British and French allied forces.

The situation can only end in the annihilation of the entire army.

What's more, if the bodyguard is too large, it will bring luck to future generations. They may rely on the bodyguard to control the capital and forcibly kill members of the Senate, or future members of the House of Nobles and the House of Citizens, causing Qin to return to feudalism*

In the * era, Yunfeng could not accept it at any cost to ruin his own efforts for civilization. He could restrain himself, but he could not guarantee that he would be able to restrain future generations.

Another point is that if the guards are not punished, a special interest group may be formed. They are closest to the emperor. It is not unreasonable to worry about holding the emperor hostage for personal gain. For example, in the Ottoman Turkish Empire, at least for a hundred years, the guards

The army has complete control of Sudan. As long as Sudan makes any reform moves, they will depose, assassinate and other means.

Use extreme measures. The first sultan deposed by the Janissaries was Selim III. Due to the complete defeat of the Battle of Vienna in 1683, he studied France and the advanced political system of Western Europe, but was accused by the Janissaries of violating living habits.

After being deposed, in fact, the only result Selim III achieved was to establish a modern printing workshop in Constantinople, and that was all!

Instead of doing this, it is better to let the personal guards return to their original duties, that is, special operations, small-scale surprise operations, and intelligence gathering. In addition to keeping some of the female Rakshasa, Yunfeng will arrange some of them to enrich the grassroots women's federation.

Those who fight for the cause of women's liberation will join special posts like the male bodyguards.

I have to say that this is an extremely reluctant decision. Yunfeng has feelings for every female Rakshasa like a sister.

‘I hope they can find a good home and at least live a normal life!’ Yunfeng sighed secretly.

Xi Jian saw Yunfeng's determination in dismissing his personal guards, and he couldn't help but be moved. The nationalization of the army was obviously a strange and effective method. He understood that if Yunfeng could really implement it,

If so, nobles like him will participate in the management and operation of the country in a new capacity, and in addition, unnecessary political disputes and internal strife can be reduced. At the same time, he also agrees with Yunfeng's conclusion that this is a

A difficult and tortuous process.

Xi Jian saluted again: "Since the King of Qin cares about the people of the world, how dare Jian not follow him? I will risk my life to see what the Qin State will become in the future. From today on, the entrance of Jingkou will be like a sea gate, and all the soldiers and civilians under his command will obey his orders.

To the King of Qin!"

Yun Feng hurriedly responded with a gift: "Shang Shu ordered the public to be loyal to the country. His history books will definitely be recorded in history. Let you and I join hands to create an unprecedented prosperous age!"

"Hahahaha~~" Xi Jian couldn't help stroking his beard and laughing wildly. His laughter was full of high spirits. Since the chaos in Yongjia, Xi Jian's life in the north was not satisfactory. He led his tribe to survive in the difficult times of Wang Jun, Liu Kun,

Caught between many forces such as Wang Yue in the East China Sea, he later crossed the river with caution.

, although it is suspected of being cunning, it is actually a helpless move to preserve the clan. In fact, no matter how scheming people are, they all have their own ideals. Xi Jian's ideal is to maintain political stability and prevent one family from becoming powerful.

And what Yunfeng did is the best way to maintain political stability!

Although Yunfeng was also laughing along with him, he was secretly thinking about it. He believed that before the army was nationalized, it was necessary to write appropriate protection and clearing grass into the basic national policy, make it normal and regular, and send troops regularly.

To rob the surrounding "good neighbors, good friends and good partners!" and not give them any chance to develop and grow.

The small study room was filled with laughter. At this moment, Xi Xuan, Jin Yuehua, and Su Qizhen walked in. They were all startled. Xi Xuan quickly breathed a sigh of relief. The good atmosphere showed that the progress was going very smoothly.

.

Xi Xuan quickly asked: "Father, what are you and King Qin laughing at? Can your little daughter also listen?"

“Oh?”

Xi Xuan said angrily: "Father, why don't you look at the sky? The banquet has been prepared, and my daughter is here to invite you to the banquet with King Qin!"

"Ah? Look, I just forgot about this!" Xi Jian smiled awkwardly and said, "Come on, please invite the King of Qin and the Princess!"

Yunfeng waved his hand: "Why is Shangshu Ling doing this? Just go together!" After saying that, he pulled Xi Jian and walked out together.

This banquet was a private sex banquet. Since Yunfeng brought Jin Yuehua and Su Qizhen to attend, as a sign of courtesy, Xi Jian also summoned his wife and two sons, Xi Min and Xi Tan, one of whom was thirteen years old.

A six year old.

Arranged by seniority and relationship with Wang Xizhi and Xi Xuan, Yunfeng could only talk about brotherhood with them. This was similar to Xun Guanniang's two younger brothers, which made Xi Jian feel a little proud and a little embarrassed.

After the commotion, everyone sat down casually. Xi Jian raised his glass and said, "Today's visit by the King of Qin is really a great event for our Xi family and the soldiers and people of Jingkou. Come, let's all pay homage to the King of Qin!"

"There is no need to be polite, Minister!" Yunfeng did not refuse and drank it all in one gulp. Everyone drank the wine in succession. Xi Xuan asked again: "Father, what were you and King Qin laughing at just now? My little girl, look at you all.

Very happy!"

"This" Xi Jian looked embarrassed and cast his inquiring gaze on Yunfeng.

Yun Feng chuckled nonchalantly and said: "It doesn't matter what the Order says. In addition to the need to keep secrets related to the army for the time being, other aspects must be relied on to spread the Order to the outside world, so that everyone in the world can understand Gu's thoughts and let everyone judge.

, is it possible?”

Xi Jian couldn't help but exclaimed. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Yunfeng's political platform was beneficial to the people all over the world. It also made full concessions to the southern gentry and northern wealthy families. Most people would not object, but some

This premise can only be implemented after the unification of the world. This makes the people of the world, especially the common people, eagerly await the unification of the world by Qin. In the future, it is very likely that the Qin army will sweep across the country and open cities and surrender wherever it passes!

After Xi Jian took a deep look at Yunfeng, he told everything about the conversation just now. The surprise in the eyes of the girls became more and more intense, but Jin Yuehua showed a trace of worry. Yunfeng winked at her, indicating that she would turn around and talk again.

explain.

Xi Xuan asked again: "Father, if you act righteously anyway, Liu Kun will probably become angry. Although he can't do anything to you for the time being, Murong Xin still has 60,000 troops and horses in Luoyang. If my daughter is right, Liu Kun will

It may make Murong Xian abandon Luoyang and mobilize troops to

Jiangdong! After all, Luoyang is sandwiched between Shi Le and Qin, which is equivalent to a useless existence. In this way, he will have a hundred thousand troops, and he should send troops to attack Jingkou. Moreover, Wu County has defected to Liu Kun, and he will be attacked from both sides.

, what should you do?"

Xi Jian's eyebrows twitched and he hesitated: "The navy of Qin is invincible in the world. I wonder if it is possible to block the river and prevent Murong Xin from crossing the river?"

Yunfeng refused without thinking: "That's not appropriate! Let him come over!"

"Huh?" Xi Jian and his daughter exchanged puzzled looks. They didn't think that Yun Feng had any intention of borrowing a knife to kill someone, but they just couldn't figure out the man's intention for the moment.

Yunfeng smiled slightly and said: "How can Liu Kun dare to carry out the task of replacing Zen with only 40,000 troops and horses? But with 100,000 troops in hand, it is very different, so Gu will not stop him from crossing the river! As for safety, Shangshu

Don't worry, I will stay in Jiankang until the 20,000 elite cavalry are stationed in Jingkou, and there will be naval forces as support. If Liu Kun dares to come, he will teach Shi Yu and return!"

Xi Jian and his daughter immediately understood Yunfeng's intention. After all, no matter what the reason was, seizing the Sima family was always unfair and would always be stigmatized, but taking it from Liu Kun was different.

, I can’t help but secretly shout for wisdom!

Xi Jian raised his glass again and laughed loudly and said: "In that case, I am relieved. Come, King Qin invites you!" (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
