Seeing Guan Yi coming in, Zu Wan'er said goodbye and left. Li Xiao and Guan Yi sat at the table with guests and guests.

"Mr. Li, the student is here today. I really have something to hold in my heart, like a thorn in my throat, and I can't spit it out loud." Guan Yi's male duck voice shouted again.

Li Xiao looked at the so-called eternal strategy of scholar who had proposed to him that day to challenge the Tartars to fight against the bandits, so that the Ming Dynasty could not help but think in his heart, this guy would have thought of something strange and stunning, and that he would have offered treasures from him.

Li Xiao waved his hand and signaled that he didn't need to say so loudly. Then he asked kindly: "What do you have to say to me? It's okay to say it to me."

Guan Yi blinked his round bull eyes, and he lowered his voice and said, "Sir, although the rebellion of the general is a kind person, it is still appropriate to deal with this matter of rebellion. But the students were thinking that if our army still continued like this and there was no change, then generals like Jiang Zun who would retaliate against the benefactor will not be the first or the last one."

"Guan Yi, what do you mean?"

The smile on Li Xiao's face suddenly disappeared. He looked at Guan Yi opposite him with complicated eyes, wondering how this bold guy said such words.

"Sir, the student wants to ask, what should I do if there are any more detailed actions like Cui Yu in the future and use money or female sex to win over our generals to rebel?" Guan Yi's words were sharp and direct, which made Li Xiao stunned.

It's really strange. What's the point of this person coming to talk to him about such a topic so late?

"This, I believe that, first, we must strengthen the selection of generals, and only those with strong moral character can take responsibility. Second, we must strengthen the secret control of the Security Department. If abnormal movements are found, we can deal with them in time." Li Xiao replied calmly.

Unexpectedly, after Li Xiao finished speaking, Guan Yi shook his head repeatedly.

"What, what I said is wrong?" Li Xiao asked.

"Sir, what you said does have certain prevention and control effects. But from the bottom of the question, if you only deal with this way, it is probably not enough."

"Oh, why did you say this?"

"Mr. Li, to be honest, the scale and momentum of Jiang Zun and others are too small, so the adults can quickly suppress and quell. Moreover, the adults can control the situation so quickly, one is because they are planning chaos under the adults' nose, and the other is because the activities of rebels are all within the scope of the surveillance and control of the security department. Students say that if our army develops in the future, the general who is determined to rebel will lead his troops to other places, and the Security Department will find it difficult to supervise it for a while. If this general ignores his family and wants to rebel, what can he do to counterattack?"

Li Xiao's heart tightened, but he was speechless.

"Sir, don't rely on others or betray me, but rely on me not to betray me!"

Seeing Li Xiao remained silent, Guan Yi replied with a bright look, which made Li Xiao’s eyes lit up.

"You can continue to explain in detail."

"It is human nature to be a general who has hidden selfishness. Even if people who are good now will be bribed with others in the future, it is difficult to know. Adult's strategy can have a certain preventive effect, but if the fundamental purpose is to be controlled, students believe that it lies in decentralization."

“Decentralization?”

"Sir, students believe that if you want to restrict the general, the most important point is to control his power in the army, so that he only has the right to lead troops to fight, but he has no chance to be arrogant!" Guan Yi said in a deep voice.

"Um."

"If a general wants to rebel, if only one of his own strength is enough, the courage of an ordinary man will be limited even if he wants to cause chaos. If his subordinates are in trouble, they will even cause chaos, or even divide the city and rebel against the enemy, it will be very bad." Guan Yi said with a sincere face.

When Li Xiao heard this, he nodded secretly.

Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, the general mentioned by Guan Yi, are a typical example.

Kong Youde threatened the elite troops built by the court with a large amount of money to occupy Dengzhou and cause rebellion. After two years, it was suppressed, making the entire Shandong ruined. Then Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming led the troops, carrying a large number of gold, silver and treasures and artillery technology, crossed the sea to defect to the Later Jin, making the Later Jin a tiger like a tiger, and eventually became a nightmare that the Ming Empire could no longer get rid of.

Li Xiao sighed in his heart. When this Guan Yi thought he was just an exaggerated person who talked about the war on paper, he did not expect that this person's plan was still so profound.

I despise him a little.

"In your opinion, what should I do?"

Guan Yi did not answer Li Xiao directly. He looked out the window with his eyes, but said inadvertently: "Sir, the student wants to ask, why has the emperor been sending military supervisors to various military towns since the previous year?"

Li Xiao was stunned again when he heard this.

Guan Yi is right. Chongzhen is indeed sending military supervisors everywhere.

The records in "History of Ming Dynasty" read in Li Xiao's previous life immediately jumped out of his mind:

"In November of the fifth year of Chongzhen, eunuch Li Qimao monitored Shaanxi, Liu Yunzhong monitored Shanxi, Wang Yingchao monitored Guanning, and Wu Zhi monitored landing on the island..."

"In the summer of the sixth year of Chongzhen, eunuchs Chen Dajin, Yan Siyin, Xie Wenju, and Sun Maolin were the inner army, and they all came to the camps of Cao Wenzhao and Zuo Liangyu..."

"In June of the sixth year of Chongzhen, the eunuch Gao Qiqian ordered the eunuch to monitor Ning, Jin, and Zhang Guoyuan to monitor Shanxi, Shitang and other roads, supervise their generals and schools, and comprehensively evacuate military salaries..."

"Sir, do you know why the emperor sent out military supervisors one after another?"

Seeing that Li Xiao was silent, Guan Yi asked again.

Li Xiao looked at Guan Yi with complicated eyes, and then slowly replied: "It's just that the official army is not fighting effectively. The emperor is worried that the generals will not do their best, so he sent the supervisor to various military towns to urge the generals to do their best to serve the country with the supervision and supervision."

Guan Yi smiled and replied in a low voice: "Sir, the student thinks that you are just right. The student is thinking that the more important reason why the emperor does this is that in order to prevent the general from communicating with the Tartars or bandits in private, deceiving the court, losing control, or even stolen the enemy, he had to send a military supervisor to secretly restrain the use of surveillance."

"oh."

Li Xiao was suddenly shocked, but he could not refute for a moment.

"Sir, "Han Feizi" once said that no matter how good the shoes look, they can only be stepped on their feet. No matter how old the hat is, they must be worn on their heads. The king, heaven, minister, earth, superiors and inferiors, and the level is different. This is the order of the country and must not be reversed. If the general cannot control and let them do it, then it will naturally lose control of the army under the general."

Guan Yi said this with a serious look on his face.

"Guan Yi, although the emperor dispatched military supervision in this way to facilitate the control of the court, the military towns below all secretly resisted and suffered a great internal friction. So that such as Yuan Jixian, the assistant minister of Shanxi's academician, Zhuang Ao, the deputy envoy of the Ministry of Revenue, and He Zijing, the deputy envoy of Shaanxi Censor, all wrote letters to oppose the dispatch of military supervision in the army, why?" Li Xiao asked.

"Mr. Li, according to the students' opinion, the reason why the emperor sent eunuchs as military supervisors was because he was a close confidant around him. The emperor was good in the deep palace and got along with eunuchs day and night. Therefore, he believed that eunuchs had no selfishness and could do their jobs in a solid manner after being sent to various military towns. He only sighed that the emperor's original intention was good, but it was actually a big mistake!"

Guan Yi paused and continued: "The emperor thought that sending eunuchs to the army as eyes and ears can prevent the deception and rebellion of civil and military officials, but he never thought that when these people arrived at the local level, this positive effect would be far from offsetting the harm they brought. You should know that eunuchs are all people who are loyal to the country. Although a small number of people who are loyal to the country, most of them are only good at tricking their words and sexual intercourse to deceive the emperor's trust, and use them to recruit power and bribes, and secretly seek personal gain. Such people, the so-called "supervision and merits and demerits" are just to provide them with an opportunity to make money outside. These eunuchs sent to the local level often only exploit corruption, which is very harmful, and even the army is resentful and angry, and their positive effects on the generals' restraining and surveillance are offset by most of them. This is also the reason why Yuan Jixian and others strongly oppose the dispatch of military supervision."

After hearing this, Li Xiao fell into deep thoughts.

Guan Yi’s words are actually quite reasonable. According to the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen himself was so intertwined with the necessity and harm of sending eunuchs, and he was often entangled in the pain of whether or not the faction was, so that the matter of sending eunuchs was settled and retreated, and then retreated and settled. After repeated repeated many times, he was exhausted and unable to bear the fatigue.

"Mingtongjian" records that in June this year, Chongzhen explained his difficulties in sending eunuchs and military supervision to the court officials. He said in his decree: "At the beginning of the throne, I retreated to the inner town and entrusted all the affairs of the world to all the ministers and officials. However, the more people are private, they are ignorant and careless, and those who are honest and cautious are also tragic and uninformed. This is the fault of the scholars and officials. I have no choice but to use the example of Chengzu's surveillance and dispatch various towns to monitor. This is a temporary expediency. I want all the ministers to know and reflect on themselves and believe in my original intention."

It is a pity that Chongzhen's personal complaints did not impress the civil and military officials of the court, but also made him accused of being a bad reputation of valuing internal prisons by historians.

An emperor who vigorously attacked the eunuch party at the beginning of his ascension, and an emperor who later valued eunuchs as his confidants, was actually the same person. This historical paradox made future generations sigh and speechless.

"Then Guan Yi, what do you mean is that I, Li Xiao's army, will also send a military supervisor?" At this time, Li Xiao seemed to have heard something.

"Sir, students believe that taking the essence and removing the dross and supervising the military model is actually very useful. If you improve it intact, you can not only restrain the surveillance of generals, but also prevent it from poisoning the local area and harming the military and civilians. This is the most suitable way." Guan Yi replied with a smile.

Li Xiao suddenly felt like Mao Han suddenly opened his mind.

This model mentioned by Guan Yi is very similar to the model of the generals and political commissars of the later generations leading the army.

This model of the Communist Army, generals in charge of military wars, and political commissar in charge of review and supervision, perfectly realizing the mutual combination of war training and political control, so that their own army can defeat the national army of the same era in terms of organization. This is also the reason why a large number of generals often lead their troops to rebel and surrender to the Communist Party, but few generals can lead their troops to surrender to the Communist Party.

This is a model that I can learn from.

Although Guan Yi was suspected of making big talks on paper when it came up with advice, he did not expect that he was quite unique in the issue of military control and management of this type.

This person can be reused.

"Guan Yi, what I said about improving the military supervision model is really good. I am thinking, how about changing it to the following method in my Li Xiao army?"

"Students would like to listen to the great opinions of adults."

"In the future, in our Li Xiao army, in order to be different from the military supervisor established by the court, the position of the Supervisor Office was specially established to be responsible for the distribution of military soldiers' salaries, review of military merits, teach soldiers, monitor and assist generals, report military dynamics, etc. The general can only be responsible for leading troops to fight, training and discipline. In this way, the generals and the Supervisor have their own duties and clear division of labor, which will not affect the military marches, but will also make the general lose the foundation for the captains because they cannot give their subordinates. In this case, even if the general has a different intention, he will be powerless."

Guan Yi nodded repeatedly: "The adults are a talented person. I will give you an opinion and the adults can implement it like this. Students really admire him."

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Guan Yi, then the position of the Chief of the Supervisor Department will be temporarily held by me. You will be the Deputy Director of the Supervisor Department. In the future, you will report your work directly to me. You will be responsible for all the supervisors below. From now on, each team of military troops will be set up with one supervisor, three shield soldiers will be set up with three, six gust soldiers will be set up with six, one Xuanhu cavalry and Feijiazi will be set up with one artillery force, one musket team will be set up with one naval division. In this case, in addition to you, 14 additional supervisors will be required. During this period, I will go to various places to recruit scholars and recruit suitable people, and immediately join the army."

Guan Yi was overjoyed and stood up and bowed. "Students should obey the adult's orders."

(Note: To be honest, these two chapters are written more heavy and darker, which is a very unpleasant way of writing. It can be seen from the rapid decline in recommendation votes in the past two days. But the author really wants to write some of his own thoughts and opinions. After all, history itself is heavy and serious and can make people think deeply. If it is just a routine writing of cool articles, farming and violent soldiers pushing the world's harem, there are already a lot of people on the Internet, and there is really no shortage of this author's clumsy work.
