Chapter 2187 Civil and Military Generals

To be honest, why should a dynasty take action against those heroes who made great contributions after its founding? And why will a dynasty enter a path of emphasizing culture and suppressing martial arts when it reaches its peak?

It was all because the emperor knew very well that the threat to rule the country was much more terrifying than the civil servants.

To put it bluntly, the establishment of a regime is based on military basis.

Changing dynasties and changing generations is against Tiangang. When did it happen to kill blood and kill the old system and the old dynasty to establish a new regime?

The generals who lead the troops naturally have this strength.

Therefore, most emperors have been doing one thing throughout their lives to weaken the real power of military generals.

Li Chen is no exception.

This kind of containment must be implemented from the beginning. You cannot wait until the situation is out of control and the end is too big to take action. At that time, it will be too late.

Take the Qin Empire as an example. After Taizu founded the country, he first killed a group of old brothers who had followed him to fight the world for many years, and killed those heroes who rose from the underworld and had great prestige in the army, ensuring the stability and stability of the imperial power transfer after the founding emperor, and then strangled the generals to the possibility of excessive real power in the system.

All military generals in the Gyeonggi area are responsible for military training, defense and other work on weekdays, but the general's personnel appointment power is directly under the central government's direct control, the Ministry of War, and the former Five Army Governor's Office nodded. Military transfers of more than a thousand households must be personally recognized by the emperor. No matter what the reason is, no matter how big the general is, if you want to transfer more than 300 soldiers in the Gyeonggi area, if you don't have the tiger talisman given by the emperor, whoever moves will rebel.

Even in the garrisons across the country, the power of the commander is extremely limited. If the garrisons in counties and counties want to mobilize troops, they must obtain the approval of the provincial government-level garrison. Then, the provincial government reports to the Ministry of War for filing at the first level to mobilize no more than 3,000 troops to be mobilized. Any action must be reviewed by the superior agency at least at least level. The purpose of how many troops to be used is, routes, food, and so on must be signed and held accountable by the person in charge of the superior military department. A series of procedures can only be carried out after the process is completed.

However, there is never a perfect system in the world. Although this whole system ensures that the generals of the Great Qin Empire have almost no way to threaten the regime for more than 300 years, it also destined that the military system of the Great Qin Empire is extremely rigid and rigid. If it is a peaceful and prosperous era, it would be fine. Once there are problems within the country, such as rebellions, or even larger bandits, and other local reports to the court for help, the corresponding local garrisons will complete the process of sending troops, and the daylily will be fucked.

The most outrageous time was that the bandits in the southwest caused chaos. They massacred several villages at one time and robbed passers-by merchants. But when the court finished the process, the troops of the garrison passed by, and it was already two years later. The bosses of the local bandits had changed twice...

Li Chen wanted to move this system, but this system has existed for more than 300 years and has been deeply rooted. It is not easy to move. Once it moves, the general must be given greater autonomy. In this way, it will point directly to a core. Under greater autonomy, the real power of the general will expand. It is better if the emperor is strong enough, but what if the emperor is not strong enough for one day? Or the general is too strong?

A military general gains power, but it is much more terrifying than a civil servant.
