"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 350
"The thieves train their troops in battle. Although the imperial guards are all newly recruited soldiers, as long as they go to the battlefield to fight a few times, they may not be inferior to the thieves."
After hearing Hu Ziyang's words, Prime Minister Liu Zhao couldn't help expressing his thoughts.
"The imperial guards are responsible for the safety of the capital, so they should not be transferred easily."
? Prime Minister Zuo Wang Huchen knew the situation of the imperial guards well, and he mobilized troops several times to suppress the thieves, causing considerable losses.
Most of the soldiers of the Imperial Guard are newly recruited. Not to mention their weak combat effectiveness, they still have the important task of guarding the capital.
Even if, as the right prime minister Liu Zhao said, the imperial guards were dispatched to the battlefield to practice, but the price would be paid in blood.
The rebel army fought repeatedly, even though they suffered a lot of losses on the battlefield, they were able to quickly replenish a large number of soldiers from the refugees who could not survive.
But the Imperial Guard is different. The newly recruited soldiers of the Imperial Guard are all selected from good families. Once the losses are huge, who would dare to serve as a soldier in the Imperial Guard?
Prime Minister Zuo Wang Huchen was unwilling to use the Imperial Guards and rebels to fight such a meaningless war of attrition.
"There are still 50,000 black cavalry troops, why not transfer them to Luyang province to wipe out Chen Ziang's bandit army." The wrinkled general Liu Zhengshan said.
"Although the black cavalry army is powerful in combat, news came back from Luyang province that this time it was a black cavalry army that defected before the battle, which led to the disastrous defeat of the army. The black cavalry army is no longer credible." The prince shook his head.
The Black Cavalry can be regarded as a light cavalry unit with strong combat effectiveness in the Far Eastern Dynasty. They have repeatedly made meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion and suppressing the rebel army.
It's just that the Black Cavalry Army has always been loyal to the old emperor. The prince replaced a group of generals of the Black Cavalry Army, which caused extreme instability within the Black Cavalry Army.
Now there are black cavalry troops on the front line who have surrendered to the rebel army, and the only remaining black cavalry army, he naturally dare not send them to the front line until they have fully won their allegiance.
The Praetorian Guards are filled with a large number of recruits who are vulnerable to a fight, and the Black Cavalry with strong mobility is unreliable again.
Neither of the two ace troops in the dynasty's central army sequence can be sent out to conquer the Qinghe army, so that the prince and the others are in a situation where they have no soldiers to use.
It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. Facing the difficulty of having no soldiers to use, Wang Huchen and others also frowned, feeling that things were a bit tricky.
Now all the local provinces are in a hurry, and the local provincial garrison and garrison are overwhelmed by the successive uprisings.
The central government of the dynasty could not mobilize capable troops to conquer the rebel army, and these important ministers who held great power were also helpless.
"The thieves are arrogant, and it is difficult to wipe them out only by relying on the local provincial guards and garrison troops. It is better to dispatch a strong frontier army to wipe them out."
When everyone was frowning, Hu Ziyang, a general from the frontier army, put forward his own suggestion.
Hu Ziyang, a great general, was born in the frontier army, and was later transferred to the imperial guards as a battalion general for many years.
Now because he hugged the prince's thigh, he made his way to the top and became one of the four generals.
Hu Ziyang is no longer a gloomy general, he is now considered a powerful figure in the dynasty.
There are no eggs under the overturned nest. Once the dynasty perishes, the fate of his high-ranking general will not be much better.
Because of the different standpoints, Hu Ziyang, who used to be indifferent to the wars in various places, has now become the prince's right-hand man, actively making suggestions, and always thinking about the Far East Dynasty.
After hearing Hu Ziyang's words, everyone's eyes lit up when they were frowning. Why didn't they think of the powerful frontier army?
Now the Far Eastern Dynasty has four major frontier army systems, including the Northern Army, the Southern Army, the Zhenxi Army and the Zhendong Army.
These four border troops guarded the border area all the year round, and from time to time they clashed and fought with the enemy troops who crossed the border.
"I think it is feasible to transfer frontier troops."
The combat effectiveness of the frontier army is recognized. After all, the northern army has been fighting the enemy wolf cavalry all year round, and the Zhenxi army has been fighting with barbarians all year round. If they are sent back to wipe out the rebels everywhere, it will be just around the corner.
"Now the surrounding countries are ready to move, border conflicts are becoming more frequent, and the border troops are under great pressure. They have reported several times and asked for more troops on the border. If we send them back to suppress thieves, wouldn't it be an opportunity for other countries to take advantage of it?machine? "
Prime Minister Zuo Wang Huchen is still sober, and the surrounding countries are all ambitious and want to take advantage of the fire.
Once they weaken the troops in the border area and the surrounding countries see the weakness of the dynasty, then they may cross the border and invade the dynasty.
Now the dynasty is only facing internal troubles. Once the border areas show weakness and the enemy invades, it will be internal troubles and foreign troubles. Even if they have great abilities, they may not be able to withstand it.
"Not only can the frontier troops not be transferred, but we also need to increase troops on the border, so as to deter the surrounding countries and prevent our army from fighting on two fronts." Wang Huchen said with firm eyes.
After the prince heard Wang Huchen's words, he also frowned, because he knew that Wang Huchen's words were also reasonable.
Once they weaken the strength of the border areas, those ambitious countries will pounce on them and bite them hard.
Now that there are powerful troops in the border area, if they want to come up to take advantage of it, I'm afraid they have to think carefully.
"If the frontier army is not dispatched to suppress the thieves, is there any other way for Prime Minister Zuo?" The prince turned his eyes to Prime Minister Zuo Wang Huchen for help.
Wang Huchen looked at the crowd, and then replied: "The bandit army is suppressing more and more. I think we need to change the way we deal with the bandit army. We must use both suppression and appeasement to divide and disintegrate."
Wang Huchen is naturally very clear that the reason for the uprisings in various places lies in the land.
The powerful families from all over the world, relying on the annexation of land for hundreds of years, have almost controlled 80% of the land of the dynasty.
A large number of people lost their land and their source of livelihood, and they had to be tenants of aristocratic families.
However, the aristocratic families are greedy and greedy. They continue to exploit these common people, forcing them to stand up and resist until they can't survive.
Although Wang Huchen knew these reasons, he also knew that the imperial court needed the support of these aristocratic families, and they could not be pushed to the opposite side.
?After weighing the balance, Wang Huchen had to come up with a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, that is to use both suppression and appeasement to divide and dissolve the various insurgents.
"For those thieves who are willing to submit to the court, the court can recruit them and then send them to deal with other thieves, which can greatly relieve the pressure on the court."
After hearing this method, everyone couldn't help nodding. This can indeed relieve some pressure on the court.
Moreover, the surrendered troops are sent to continue to suppress other rebels, which is tantamount to letting the rebels fight each other, and they can reap the benefits of the fisherman.
"I heard that there are rich and squires in various provinces forming camps to protect themselves, killing and injuring countless thieves. I suggest that the rich and powerful families be allowed to form private troops to assist the provincial troops to help suppress those stubborn thieves."
In addition to proposing to suppress and appease the rebels and divide and disintegrate the rebel army, Wang Huchen also suggested the formation of private troops.
The squires of all major families have their own private soldiers, which are also the supporting force for them to annex land everywhere. The court has always turned a blind eye to these nobles.
Now the imperial court allows them to expand their private soldiers to suppress thieves, which seems to have made their troops public, but in fact it is Wang Huchen who wants to kill people with a knife, trying to let the rebel army consume these private soldiers.
