In the Qinzheng Hall, Zhao Ziliang was quickly reviewing the memorial.
The eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, General He Zhenghe from the Military Discipline Investigation Department of the Military Academy is asking for an audience outside the hall."
"Xuan" "yes" After a while, a lieutenant general came in, clasped his fists and saluted: "Greetings, your Majesty."
"No gift."
Zhao Ziliang looked up, quickly wrote a few words and then put down the brush.
"Thank you, Your Majesty" He Zheng took out a memorial and said, "Your Majesty, this is the result of the investigation into Bai Xiaode and Ma Lin's unauthorized recruitment of soldiers."
Zhao Ziliang asked: "So the two of them really recruited soldiers without permission."
He Zhengdao: "Yes, Your Majesty, but this matter cannot be completely characterized as recruiting soldiers without authorization, because they only provided the recruits with three meals a day, and did not pay resettlement expenses and military wages, and they were receiving the order from Your Majesty."
After the order, the more than 4,000 people recruited were immediately disbanded."
"Oh" Zhao Ziliang stood up and walked down and asked: "Who took the lead in this matter, Bai Xiaode or Ma Lin, or both of them took the lead in this matter?"
"It was Ma Lin's suggestion, but he repeatedly insisted on waiting for Xinjing's reply before proceeding.
Bai Xiaode believed that there was no need to stick to the rules and decided to report for instructions while recruiting with the power of the general."
Zhao Ziliang took the memorial from He Zheng and read it.
After reading it, he asked: "How do you think this matter should be handled?"
He Zhengdao: "Your Majesty, although this matter cannot be characterized as a complete illegal case of the general recruiting soldiers without authorization, they have violated military regulations after all.
The opinion of the Military Aircraft Investigation Department is to punish them to serve as a warning to others."
Zhao Ziliang walked up and down the hall with his hands behind his back.
After a few minutes, he returned to the throne, picked up a red pen and wrote two lines on the memorial.
After finishing writing, he closed it and handed the memorial to He Zhengdao: "With the Military Discipline Investigation Department, In the name of a formal written reprimand, Bai Xiaode and Ma Lin were severely reprimanded for recruiting soldiers without authorization.
Since the circumstances were relatively minor and they had shown remorse, they were only given a serious warning and would not be treated lightly if they did it again.
"Rao" "Yes, Your Majesty," He Zheng said after taking the approved memorial and exited.
This was just a punishment in terms of military discipline.
Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment and told Gao Shang, who was working next to him: "According to the king's decree, the commander of the Eastern Expedition Army, Bai Xiaode, was demoted to deputy general, and deputy general Ma Lin was promoted to chief general.
Each of them was demoted one rank and fined Salary for half a year" "Yes, Your Majesty."
Gao Shang agreed immediately and asked the minister waiting for the edict to draft the edict quickly.
After writing it, Gao Shang polished it, showed it to Zhao Ziliang, and sent it out with his seal.
After the edict was sent, the eunuch came to inform Wang Can that he wanted to see him.
Zhao Ziliang waved: "Let him come in."
"Yes, Your Majesty" Wang Can walked in and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, there is news from the Food Country."
"You go to the side hall and wait a moment."
"yes" Zhao Ziliang finished reviewing all the memorials and asked Gao Shang to send them to various yamen for execution.
He came to the side hall, where Wang Can was waiting.
"Let's talk."
Zhao Ziliang walked to the wall map and stood there.
Wang Can walked to the map and pointed at it and said: "The Boslavan faction was defeated by the Great Food Army.
Mansur sent his 100,000 Guards to Khorasan Province to quell the rebellion.
The Boslawan faction Gureres led 60,000 people to fight with the Dashi Guards fifty miles southwest of Mulu City.
Due to the lack of training of Gureres's troops and his own mediocre ability to command on the battlefield, it was difficult to command tens of thousands of people.
As soon as the two sides fought, Gureres's troops were in chaos.
He himself panicked and made repeated mistakes in command, so that he missed the opportunity to fight and was defeated by the Taishi Guards.
Gureres was completely defeated and only brought with him The remnant army was defeated and more than 10,000 people retreated to the Mashhad and Guchang areas.
In their current situation, if he is not allowed to lead his troops to retreat to the territory of Khwarizm, they will be in danger of being completely annihilated."
Zhao Ziliang had no expression.
He was not dissatisfied with Guderesi's poor performance.
Guderesi was the candidate chosen by Dongchang.

This kind of agent should not be too talented but also have certain ambitions.
Talent is easy to control.
If you find someone who is too talented and ambitious, it will be difficult to control.
Zhao Ziliang put Gudres aside and asked: "Where is Salad from the Sinbad faction?"
Wang Can said: "Salad has made great progress.
Since the Eastern Roman Empire's army is coming from the northwest, Mansour can only send troops to resist the Eastern Roman army first and has no time to take care of Salad.
Now Salad It has captured major cities in Syria such as Homs, Beirut and Damascus.
It can be said that His current territory covers more than half of the entire Syria, but his situation is not optimistic.
Mansour has deployed troops from Egypt and Jerusalem, preparing to attack from south to north to eliminate Salad.
We are trying to find ways to make the east The Roman Empire cooperated with Salad to unite them against Mansur.”
Zhao Ziliang shook his head when he heard this and said: "It is unlikely for them to cooperate.
On our side, there is a saying that enemies of enemies are friends, but on their side, people who are either of the same faith are heretics.
Under the circumstances, it is basically impossible for two people with different beliefs to cooperate.
There is no fight between them.
Now that they are very friendly, Dongchang should not waste time on this aspect and should think more about ways to increase Salad's strength.
I'm afraid this person is not easy to control.
Dongchang must bury his secret hand as soon as possible to avoid it when the time comes.
After her strength increases to a certain level and we lose control of her, things will get out of hand."
Wang Can cupped his fists and agreed, "Yes."
Zhao Ziliang asked again: "Where are Constantine V's troops and horses now?"
"In the upper reaches of the Mesopotamia, here is Qamishli.
It can be seen that Constantine V's offensive route deliberately avoided Salad's sphere of influence, allowing Salad to concentrate on attacking other parts of Syria. area, thereby causing greater trouble for Mansur.
The more serious the damage caused by the two forces in the country, it will be beneficial to the Eastern Roman Empire, so he will not be stupid enough to fight for it. sa Ladd's territory.
The Eastern Roman Empire currently has about 60,000 troops in the Kingdom of Cathay.
The Kingdom of Cathay has 100,000 troops in the north, but they are deployed in various cities and it is difficult to gather them in a short time.
Wait for the opportunity to gather them.
The Eastern Roman Empire would capture more cities, and the Great Food Kingdom could only barely muster 50,000 troops to fight Constantine V for more than a month.
Both sides won and lost, and both sides are currently resting and confronting."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "If Gudres cannot withstand the attack of the Great Food Army, let him lead the remaining troops to retreat into the territory of Khwarezm.
Later, I will send a letter to the Khwarizm Abahan, asking him to He allowed Guderes to enter his territory for temporary refuge.”
"yes" After Wang Can left, Zhao Ziliang walked back and forth in the hall.
He already felt that Western Qin urgently needed to expand its army.
The standing army must be doubled to meet the needs of territorial area and foreign wars.
Although the standing army doubled, military expenditures would increase.
It will rise significantly, but Western Qin's finances are more than enough to bear it.
With the support of Tianzhu, a large granary and a prosperous land, adding a standing army of 150,000 is just a trivial matter.
Three days later, Zhao Ziliang summoned the ministers and generals of the Military Academy to discuss the expansion of the army.
In Qinzheng Hall, Zhao Ziliang sat on the throne and took out a somewhat old memorial and said to Chu Ge, Li Siye and others: "Last year, a memorial was played at the Military Academy recommending increasing the standing army.
At that time, I felt that the time was not ripe, so I The court postponed the matter for further processing, and the memorial was left undiscovered during the military expansion.
The opportunity has matured.
If we do not expand our army, we will not be able to protect the security of trade routes and safeguard the interests of Western Qin.
Two days ago, I have solicited opinions from the Government Affairs Council.
They said that there is no problem in terms of financial support for the increased military spending.
Please tell me how the Military Aircraft Academy will consider how to expand its military."
Li Siye stood up and clasped his fists at Zhao Ziliang and said: "Your Majesty, judging from the current external situation in Western Qin, if we want to have sufficient self-protection capabilities, we need at least two legions of troops.

If we want to go to war, more troops will be needed.
The number of troops depends on who the target of the conquest is.
If the target of the conquest is the Great Food Country, then our standing army must be doubled in order to be able to wage war against the Great Food Country while ensuring domestic security."
Zhao Ziliang asked: "To double the military strength, how to expand it?
Should we directly increase the number of legions, or expand the establishment on the basis of the existing legions?"
Chu Ge stood up and said: "Your Majesty, we propose to directly expand the establishment based on the existing legions, because if we increase the number of legions, on the one hand, we do not have so many qualified and talented generals; on the other hand, With the current size of the legion, there is no If the strength of a legion reaches 30,000, it can fully undertake the war mission against a country.
If the enemy country is stronger, two or more legions can conduct joint operations.
At that time, The king needs to appoint another general to be the commander."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a long time and said: "Then expand the establishment based on the original ten standing legions.
The number of troops in each legion will be expanded to 30,000.
The slave legion itself has 30,000 people.
There is no need to expand it further.
The First Army Corps was expanded to the Ninth Army Corps, and the departmental establishment under the Corps was renamed as a division.
The divisions were divided into battalions, regiments, brigades, teams, and so on.
One division had 3,000 people.
Ten divisions form a corps; one division has ten battalions; one battalion has five regiments; one regiment has two brigades, one brigade has two teams, and one team has five teams.
This is basically the same as the original organization.
The big difference is that the name of the ministry-level establishment has been changed to division-level establishment, and the original four divisions have been increased to ten divisions.
If you have no other opinions or additions, just follow this."
Everyone said: "Yes, Your Majesty":
