"The Qi Family Army is one of the few elites in our Ming Dynasty. In terms of combat power, from its establishment to the sacrifice of the entire army in the bloody battle of Hunhe River, it ranks first in combat power in our Ming Dynasty. It is one of the few ever-victorious armies in our Ming Dynasty.
Professional training level and strict military discipline are the keys to his constant victory.
But this is also the source of their misfortune.
"In ancient times, there were countless troops who came in, armed with heavy troops, and kept the emperor's orders, and there were even a few troops who directly rebelled.
In November of the fourteenth year of Tianbao's reign (755), An Lushan rebelled from Fan Yang. He falsely claimed that he was ordered by Tang Xuandi to lead troops to attack the rebellious minister Yang Guozhong. It directly led to the decline of the Tang Dynasty and its demise.
What is ridiculous is that after An Lushan died, he and Shi Siming were regarded as saints by the old generals and soldiers of Heshuo. An Lushan tribe general Tian Chengsi surrendered to the Tang court and sent Shi Chaoyi's mother and wife to the court. The Tang Dynasty named Wei Bo Jiedu envoy. In order to calm the hearts of the people in the north, he built shrines for An Lushan, An Qingxu, Shi Siming and Shi Chaoyi. Known as the "Four Saints".
Tian Chengsi asked the court to become the prime minister. Sun Zhigu, the internal servant of the Tang Dynasty sect, asked him to destroy the ancestral hall of the "Four Saints of Anshi". Tian Chengsi destroyed it. The Tang court praised him and awarded him Tongping Zhangshi.
During the Changqing period of Emperor Muzong of the Tang Dynasty, the old generals and soldiers of Heshuo called Anlushan and Shi Siming the two saints. In order to change this trend, Zhang Hongjing, the then Lulong Festival Envoy, ordered Anlushan's tomb to be opened and his coffin destroyed. , causing displeasure among the old generals and soldiers of Heshuo.
Following the ten kingdoms, many generals controlled the army and rebelled.
The emperor said he was superior, but in fact, if he did not control the army, he would be a poor man in a cage.
You expect everyone to speak the truth in front of the emperor, which is simply impossible.
And those civilian officials saw this exactly, so they restricted the development of generals everywhere.
Even if you become a slave to the country's subjugation, you don't want to say it anymore.
Except for those young emperors who were promoted by civil servants, the other emperors were not fools, so how could they not see the problem?
But so what if you knew?
This place is 400 miles away from the capital. I want to come here once. It costs at least 5,000 silver coins.
If you go further away, it will cost more.
Therefore, civil servants always use the waste of people and money and national affairs as reasons for not letting me come down and take a look.
If you don't come down and take a look, what do you think a group of people who have not experienced the storm would think about the Anlushan rebellion in front of the emperor? What would you do?”
"I will definitely always worry about the rebellion of the generals below, and always think about weakening the influence of the generals on the army."
Soon the following responded with the clever soldiers from Jizhou Town.
"Yes, that's it."
"The tragedy of Qi Jiajun is, to put it bluntly, the tragedy of the current political system. But many times the emperor really has no choice, because the emperor is also a human being, and he cannot see everyone's thoughts, so Qi Shaobao, relying on Zhang Juzheng, is doomed to fail.
I have nothing to say about this, but I can guarantee that this kind of problem will never happen again in the future. The first month of all soldiers. Training will be conducted in eight military regions in the future.
Once the training is completed, they will be sent to qualified units for regular training.
The generals no longer have private soldiers, and all the guards are dispatched by me.
After that, political commissars at all levels, in addition to paying salaries and teaching the army's ideology, also had the responsibility of supervising the army. ".
