Chapter 1258 Big Sima
"In order to go down from the fifth rank of guerrilla general, King Xuan Ce of Jin was appointed as the general manager of the marching of Supi, and unified the 4,000 staging cavalry in one wing and escorting King Supi back to his country!"
In court.
Regarding the civil strife in Tubo, the prime ministers all believed that it should take this opportunity to weaken Tubo.
The emperor issued an edict to order Xiangxiong to take action against Tubo to help quell the rebellion, which was unanimously praised by everyone. Everyone knows that Xiangxiong had a tense relationship with Tubo. Originally, Tubo Zanpu had prepared for the Western sign Xiangxiong before his death. Now, Xiangxiong was asked to help enter Tubo to quell the rebellion. Isn’t this obvious that they took the opportunity to beat Tubo’s dogs?
But this result was exactly what the court wanted. The court said that it was to ask Xiangxiong to send troops to quell the rebellion. As for the result, Xiangxiong took advantage of the situation and robbed it, it was not a big mistake for the court to come.
And there was another person who sent troops to send Prince Subi back to restore the country, and no one objected.
The reason was that Tubo sent troops to annex Subi as an act of invasion. Because Subi once paid tribute to the Sui Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty that inherited the Sui Dynasty was naturally Subi's royal family and had the obligation to protect the vassal state.
Now let Subi restore the country, it is legitimate.
As for whether to take advantage of the situation, it is up to one's own opinion.
Almost at the same time, the emperor issued an edict to confer King Duomie as the Marquis of Yushu and the General of the Army. King Bailan was conferred as the Marquis of Dari and the General of the Army.
As a result, the Qiang in the east had been killed by the court, and the surrendered Qiang in the east had now been established, including Xishan Road, Dangxiang Qiang, Dongnuguo, Jialiangyi, Bailang Qiang, Misang, Chunsang and other Qiangyi tribes. Although there were still many Qiangyi in the corners of resistance, Xishan Road had been established. The court built several big cities and began to build fortress stations along the valleys, migrating Han people and immigrating, and fighting with the Qiang people to cross the mountains and valleys, many Qiang people had already surrendered.
Now, the three Qiang countries in the west, Duomei, Bailan and Supi, have now left Tubo and turned to the Qin Dynasty to pay tribute. The emperor did not set up a road directly like the West Mountain. Instead, considering the plateau terrain here and the vast land and sparse population, he only adopted the Three Kingdoms as vassals.
But no matter what, these were originally those who had already paid tribute to Tubo, but now they have turned to the Qin Dynasty, which is a huge change.
From north of the Gula Mountains in Nianqing to the upper reaches of the Lancang River, these are all Subi's territory. After Tubo seized Subi, he had pastures and war horses and salt-producing land. They were no longer limited to building an agricultural country in the Weizang River Valley.
It can be said that Subi was a key step for Tubo to become the overlord of the plateau in the future.
He took down Subi, then conquered Duomian and Bailan, and then captured Qinghai, which led to the later domination of the west for hundreds of years.
But now, the court has controlled Tuyuhun, pulled Supi and the three Qiangs over, and asked Xiangxiong to attack the fallen water dog. He also took the lead in the Qiangs in the east to set up a Xishan Road, and used the fortress city to advance, turning them into a fortress chain to block these Qiangs, so that they could no longer turn to Tubo, and also made Tubo no longer have the opportunity to expand to Yunnan and Sichuan like history.
The imperial court has not yet fought with this extra effort on the plateau, but in several directions, it has begun to block the Tubo people without any chance.
Some officials below did not understand strategy very well about these central decisions of the imperial court. The above statement said that the Three Feudals of the South of the Yangtze River have not yet been settled, but they have reached thousands of miles away. And Anton and Baekje Japan use troops, sent troops to Xishan, and sent troops to Subi, and the Western Regions have never stopped using troops. In addition, the imperial court has to take charge of Xueyantuo and Uighurs in the north of the Mo, so this is too much of it.
Some scholars even published their timely articles in newspapers, criticizing and discussing the government affairs.
"Ignorance scholar."
Qin Qiong, who had just returned from the northwest and was newly appointed as Minister of War by the emperor, shook his head and said.
Qin Qiong returned to the court and was appointed as the Minister of War. He was immediately appointed as the Minister of War and was appointed as the Prime Minister in the Political Affairs Hall.
This also caused a huge response in the court and the country. Nothing else, Qin Qiong was a pure military general. Although he was the emperor's cousin and was brave and good at fighting, this person did not have long had the experience of conquering the other side alone.
But the emperor made a contribution to the battle between Qin Qiong during the war last year and commanded the Helong war. This time, he suddenly transferred Qin Qiong to the court and appointed him as prime minister.
This was the first military general to be the prime minister after the Privy Council stopped worshipping him.
The former Minister of War was a civil servant.
The court and the government were amazed by the generals and prime ministers, combined with the previous several edicts issued to improve the status of soldiers. Many officials even wrote letters directly, believing that the emperor was too favorable to military personnel.
Some officials directly claimed that the emperor set up the Privy Council and set up three yamen, which greatly deprived the prime ministers of military power. Then the generals were in charge of the Privy Council and the Minister of War who was in charge of military orders should be the Minister of War, and the generals should not be allowed to enter the Political Affairs Hall again.
But the emperor let Qin Qiong be the Minister of War Jiapingzhang and directly became the prime minister.
When Qin Qiong first received the imperial edict, he refused several times.
But the emperor finally came directly to Qin Qiong's mansion and told him some great truths about the generals being prime ministers.
The ultimate goal of letting military generals be prime ministers is to maintain a balance between civil and military affairs, and not to respect civil and suppress military affairs.
Although the Privy Council is full of military generals, the Minister of War, the important position of governing the military power in the Political Affairs Hall, must be held by military generals who are good at war.
"It is not only about becoming generals and prime ministers, but even military generals are not just about serving military positions. As long as they are really talented, they can still serve as local prefects, governors, censors, etc. When the court employs people, they should be unconventional. It cannot be said that only from a literati can they serve as civil servants."
"I can't make this bad end, otherwise, two generations later, I'm afraid that the status of the Great Qin military man will be trampled on by the literati group. Then, how can the Great Qin maintain this great martial arts?"
"Shubao, being this prime minister is not only a reward for your contribution, but also a model for military men to become prime ministers and be a good example."
The imperial military system generally uses intermediate military generals of the fifth and sixth rank to command troops. Real senior generals drink tea in the third yamen during the war, and only a few generals can enter the Privy Council.
This will inevitably lead to the decline of the status of military generals, and fewer people will be willing to serve as generals in the future.
Therefore, Luo Chengcai specifically wanted to promote military generals, especially to allow advanced military generals to become ministers and set a precedent.
In this way, civil and military officials will no longer be so clear-cut, and military generals will not have a lower and lower status.
Only in this way can the empire's martial arts fortune last forever and the empire's martial arts always be famous.
Qin Qiong was the Grand Sima and Zhang Xutuo was the Grand Tutor. Both of them held military and political affairs and military orders, and the emperor had the power to select and transfer generals. It can be said that Luo Cheng's control in the current military is unparalleled.
"I fully support Your Majesty's strategy of intervening in the frontier and intervening as soon as possible. We cannot wait until the situation is bad, destroying regional stability and endangering the frontier of Qin. It will be too late at that time, and it will be several times or even ten times the price." Qin Qiong became a prime minister, and the military strategy of the court is highly consistent with the emperor. "As for the Three Feudatories, it is already in control. Just wait until the melon is ripe and the stems fall. There is no need to rush for a moment."
Luo Cheng was very pleased that Qin Qiong was able to agree with his own views.
"The court should avoid fighting big wars thousands of miles away, but it should not ignore them. Take action when it is time to take action. Intervention as early as possible is the best strategy and the lowest cost."
As for the Three Feudatories, it is only if you don’t take action. Once you take action, you will definitely succeed in one battle. Therefore, Luo Cheng is still accumulating strength and resting, and is not in a hurry to take action.
