Chapter 1585 Candidates

Especially recently they knew the truth about the vein of gods and demons, which made them feel even more painful. Because His Majesty wanted to let the Sima of Tunqi, the Sima of Yueqi and the Sima of Changshui lead the troops into the [Hanlong Palace]!

What made He Jin even more distressed was that the commander was not him, but the dismissed Yang Ci!

Without the three schools at once, his core military power was greatly challenged.

You know, Zhu Jun took a part of the Northern Army with him when he went to war. In addition to the troops defending the eight major pass cities, the troops he had were very few! No, it should be unprecedentedly few.

This made He Jin's heart, which already felt insecure, instantly reduce a few more senses of security.

"It seems that it's time to win over and cultivate military power outside of Sili!" He Jin silently made a decision in his heart, but it was this decision that brought the Han Dynasty to its doomsday!

"Your Majesty, I agree with your expansion. However, the expansion of the Xiyuan Army and the Beixiao Five Armies should also be expanded!" After pondering for a while, He Jin decided to seek benefits with Liu Hong.

Liu Hong and the officials raised their eyebrows when they heard this. When did He Jin, the butcher, become so smart!

Especially Liu Hong, of course he was happy to hear that He Jin, his brother-in-law, was going to make trouble with him!

You are originally from my Liu family. If you expand and I expand, doesn't that mean suppressing the power of the gentry... Otherwise, why would I promote you...

If you are strong and I am strong, we can suppress these arrogant gentry, let them be at ease, and listen to the orders of the Han court authority. Isn't this good!

In fact, everything Liu Hong does is reasonable and well-founded. First, there was the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and he used it to promote He Jin to the position of general, control military power, and check the gentry; then there was the Nangong Fire, he burned many gentry, and by the way, he sacrificed the eight major lieutenants of Xiyuan as a chess piece... The purpose was to control military power.

He, Liu Hong, dared to sell the position of prefect, the position of nine ministers, and even the position of Taiwei, Situ, and Sangong, but he dared not sell the position of military power.

"It seems that Queen He's dissuasion is still effective." Liu Hong was slightly happy in his heart. He really hoped that the Nangong Fire could wake up He Jin this time!

Liu Hong was happy, but other officials of the gentry were not happy. At this moment, even neutral officials such as Xun Shuang were a little agitated.

Your Majesty expanded the Xiyuan Army, which we can accept, after all, His Majesty the Emperor personally paid for it (actually using their money), not using the money of the treasury, but now you are expanding the five schools of the Northern Army, can you not use the money of the treasury?

Officials of the great aristocratic families have always tried their best to suppress the expansion of military power, and use the great principles of benevolence, Confucianism, etc. to restrict its expansion. After all, military officers will greatly affect the living space of civil officials.

Otherwise, with so many heroic deeds on the border, how could there be no waves? !

The Han Dynasty had military pay. For every ordinary soldier of a foreign race killed, a thousand copper coins were received, for every military general of a foreign race killed, ten gold coins were received, and for every tribal leader killed, the official was promoted by one level...

These are all in regulations, but unfortunately, they have never been implemented!

If they were really implemented, how many fierce generals like Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun would be created!

How many heroes were buried in the land of China and the Han Dynasty! !

Anyway, no matter what, it is still the interests that are at work!

Military power can stabilize the country, and culture can stabilize the country!

The current Han Dynasty does not need to stabilize the country, but needs to stabilize the country! Then the culture should flourish!

This is the fundamental interest of the aristocratic family!

"Your Majesty, I agree with the general's proposal! The rebellion in Xiliang has reached a blaze. We cannot give up Liangzhou and the tens of millions of people there!"

"Of course, I also have a proposal, which is to hope that Your Majesty can select talents and set up the General's Office of the Western Expedition General!" Lin Mu said in a sonorous and powerful voice.

Lin Mu, the General of the Eastern Expedition, actually stood up to agree. Not only did he agree, but he also wanted to stir up a big fire.

The General's Office of the Eastern Expedition General was built not long ago... Now you are building the General's Office of the Western Expedition General, where do you put us, the nobles!

Xun Shuang, Cai Yong and others were also shocked when they heard Lin Mu's words. Lin Mu had not discussed this with them, and it might be that Lin Mu had a sudden idea. After all, He Jin's suggestion should also be a sudden idea.

"Your Majesty, no! No! This is a warmongering move, a poisonous plot to drag down our Han Dynasty. General Lin Mu, the Eastern Expeditionary General, has a wolfish ambition!!"

"That's right! General Lin Mu's words are the source of chaos and cannot be accepted! Expanding the army not only consumes the country's foundation, but also cultivates the existence of threats to the country's weapons. I am willing to die as a promise. Your Majesty cannot agree to it!"

"Your Majesty, this move is tantamount to treason!!"

"Your Majesty, please kill Lin Mu, the traitor who harms the country!"

"Your Majesty, kill Lin Mu, and the country will be safe!"

The officials of the aristocratic camp panicked and stood up to refute one by one.

Many players who had just used their connections to go to the court were quite surprised to hear these lewd words. They are fighting now? They also want to kill Lin Mu? Damn, if Lin Mu can be killed so easily, then... countless players will be happy!

And Lin Mu himself, sitting on the Diaoyutai, like an outsider, did not make any movement at all.

Hearing the "heartfelt words" of the ministers in the court, Liu Hong sat on the dragon couch, watching and listening expressionlessly.

In fact, Lin Mu proposed to set up the General's Mansion of the Western Expedition, and Liu Hong was very pleased. He even wanted to set up the Four Towns and Four Expeditions!

In that case, he would have the authority to wipe out the gentry. At that time, he could thoroughly investigate the gentry and the aliens... Maybe he could realize the proposal of Shuangxun!

Unfortunately, this step not only touched the bottom line of the gentry, but also endangered their survival. It was impossible to achieve! Many people in the gentry were very smart and knew that if this step happened, it would be difficult for them to retire and return home!

As for the words of killing Lin Mu, he seemed to have not heard them at all, and they went in one ear and out the other.

"Your Majesty, the suggestion of General Lin Mu of the Eastern Expedition is not acceptable. The martial vein of our Han Dynasty has already dried up due to special reasons and cannot be restored to its peak. We should not add any more burden to it!" He Jin stood up again to dissuade him.

Xiyuan and Beixiao are already the limit. What are you going to do by running out to Sizheng? ! !

Fortunately, those people in the gentry camp did not criticize Beixiao, otherwise it would be bad.

After all, expanding the army requires a lot of things, and there are many officials involved, most of whom are officials from the gentry. If they make things difficult for you, even if everyone in the court agrees to expand the army, there are countermeasures for each policy. If they delay you for half a month here and three to five months there, can you bear it?

This is also the reason why Liu Hong has to legitimately do the Eight Great Captains of Xiyuan! If it weren't for these people, he would have used eunuchs to do it long ago!

After that, the court began to "burn fire" again! Even some officials became more and more excited, and they burned the fire on Xunshuang and Cai Yong...

However, these fires have always been burning on Lin Mu and He Jin, and the Eight Great Captains of Xiyuan were not involved at all, that is to say, everyone acquiesced to its establishment.

"Damn it! If it weren't for Lin Mu, this man, who suddenly intervened, my Beixiao Army could have been expanded smoothly!"

Except for occasional rebuttals, Lin Mu has been listening silently to the officials' quotations from classics.

After arguing for quite some time, under the auspices of Liu Hong, the expansion of the army of the eight lieutenants of Xiyuan and the army of Beixiao became a foregone conclusion.

However, the Northern Army can only be expanded by 600,000, while the eight lieutenants of Xiyuan each command 500,000 troops!

The organization of the Northern Army belongs to General He Jin, so the commander of the expanded army is appointed by General He Jin.

This is the same as the organization of the General's Mansion of the Eastern Expedition. Lin Mu's General's Mansion of the Eastern Expedition is an independent command system. To open a mansion and build a ya is to establish a command system.

Now, the most fundamental problem begins!

Who will be the eight lieutenants of Xiyuan?

At the critical moment of the Nangong incident, you expand the army, and we are guilty, so we will not obstruct it, but we have to compete for the candidate.

In this way, the market-style court discussion began again!

The first to take action was Cao Cao's father Cao Song!

This Grand Minister of Agriculture Cao Song, it is not entirely true that he is from the aristocratic camp, and it is also controversial to say that he is from the eunuch camp. Therefore, Cao Song, who is one of the Nine Ministers, is like an invisible man and does not say much.

And now he stands up for Cao Cao!

Listening to Cao Song's generous and constant words of how powerful and good Cao Cao is and how great his military exploits are, Lin Mu was very moved. Boss Cao is still so sharp. He wants to compete for the eight major lieutenants of Xiyuan. He knows the importance of this position!

However, what makes Lin Mu happy is that Liu Bei, Sun Jian and other princes did not come to compete, otherwise I don’t know what will happen...

After that, the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea showed their magical powers, and the major officials began to recommend.

Unfortunately, Xun Shuang and Cai Yong, etc., have no relatives with outstanding commanders, so they can’t recommend them. However, they fully support Gongsun Zan!

In this way, more than fifty candidates appeared in Liu Hong's hands. However, Liu Hong just pretended to glance at them.

He had already prepared the candidates for these lieutenants. If there are any changes, it will only be one or two. That is to block the benefits of some people!

Of course, the list cannot be announced so quickly, it has to be set on fire.

Moreover, the construction of the Eight Great Commanders of Xiyuan is not a matter of one day or one night. It will take at least one or two years to formally form combat power!

Therefore, it is possible that the real Eight Great Commanders of Xiyuan were officially completed and announced in 188!

This court meeting ends here.
