.,

Zhu Houzhao was taken aback.

He never expected that Fang Jifan had already had a 'plan'.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Fang Jifan said modestly: "I am still young, although I have a bad idea, I think your Majesty is wise, and the two elders in the cabinet are even more experienced in seeking the country. I think I have already made plans in my heart. I should be more humble." .”

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang were silent, anyway, no matter what Fang Jifan said, they no longer cared.

Zhu Houzhao said anxiously: "Speak quickly."

"There is only one way." Fang Jifan said: "Temporarily disband the First Army."

"What……"

All of a sudden, everyone was dumbfounded.

When everyone looked at him with wide eyes in shock, Fang Jifan said: "The military officer will stay temporarily, and the rest of the soldiers will be dismissed."

"Disbanded?" Zhu Houzhao came back to his senses, frowned and said, "Old Fang, are you crazy?"

Fang Jifan was particularly serious: "This is the fastest way, of course... There is another faster way, that is, the court will provide more money and treatment, but your majesty also knows that the people we will recruit in the future , It’s tens of millions. The current treatment is already a huge burden for the imperial court. If there is more, I am afraid that the imperial court will not be able to bear it. Therefore... the minister said that it is best to dismiss the first army. way."

Liu Jian also frowned: "How can the establishment of a standing army be changed from day to day? This is a national policy. Recruit today and dismiss tomorrow. What's the point?"

Fang Jifan had already prepared the draft, and said: "I don't mean to change the order overnight, but to let the First Army retire early, and all the backbones will be left behind. Only the soldiers will be discharged, so it is not a change in the order."

Li Dongyang couldn't help asking: "What does Qi Guogong mean by this?"

Fang Jifan said: "This is for the sake of the standing army. It is too difficult to change people's ideas. It is as difficult as climbing to the sky..."

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "No, Lao Fang, no matter what your idea is, I will never allow you to do this. These are the soldiers I have painstakingly trained, and they are my hard work."

Suddenly, the emperor stood with Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, and Fang Jifan became the target of public criticism.

Now, they only have one thought, Fang Jifan has a brain disorder.

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, please listen to the minister's explanation."

"Don't listen!" Zhu Houzhao said: "No matter what you name a flower, I will not allow you to mess around."

Fang Jifan gritted his teeth: "Your Majesty, how do you recruit the standing army? The Ministry of War is already as anxious as ants in a hot pot."

Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to say, "I'll think about it again."

Fang Jifan said: "There is no time to waste. How about a bet?"

Zhu Houzhao sternly said: "No delay, and you are not allowed to bet... what?"

Fang Jifan sighed in his heart, well, he still understands Zhu Houzhao's virtues!

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang never imagined that major national events would end in a child's play...

Fang Jifan said: "Three months, give me three months to dismiss these thousands of people, and I will bring one hundred thousand good family sons to Your Majesty! Not only that, if the soldiers who were dismissed before are willing to come back, they can still be sent back to the team .Your Majesty, if you don’t dare to gamble, let it go.”

"Why don't you dare?" Zhu Houzhao stared at him and said, "Did you lose?"

"Xishan is willing to pay three million taels of military expenses." Fang Jifan said without guilt at all.

All of a sudden...even Liu Jian and Li Dongyang's heart beat.

Zhu Houzhao was amused: "I want your money so badly."

Fang Jifan said lightly: "Forget it."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, and immediately said: "If you have made a bet, how can you say it? A gentleman has no jokes, and a man spits a nail."

"What if Your Majesty loses?" Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao calmly.

Zhu Houzhao said: "For so many years, warriors have indeed been suppressed. How can I, Ming Dynasty, think about expanding the territory and spreading grace and power to the world, and let the soldiers be regarded as pariahs? They want to fight for the Ming Dynasty. , Those who bleed for the imperial court, and those who bleed are treated so contemptuously, don’t say it’s unreasonable, even if it’s not good for the country. If it can make people enter the army and become a matter of honor, then...Soldiers Your situation can be greatly improved, this is a great achievement, if I don't reward you, how can I say it, if it succeeds, I will give you an official title and nobility for the first time, and I will not be stingy."

Fang Jifan did the math, three million taels of silver, in exchange for a black gauze cap and title, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like a good deal!

But...he seemed to be sure of winning the paper: "Since that's the case, within three months, His Majesty will not get involved, and must obey his ministers."

"It's up to you." Zhu Houzhao laughed.

No matter what, he is not at a loss!

…………

Soon, a decree came out from the palace, and then arrived at the First Army.

With a decree, everyone in the army was stunned.

They never expected that the well-behaved First Army would suddenly be disbanded.

As soon as the news came out, the entire army was in mourning.

When we first entered the camp, everyone felt bitter and wanted to leave quickly.

But now... Gradually getting used to here, being able to eat and drink enough every day, in their eyes, training has gradually become a matter of leisure.

After staying together for a long time, they supported each other like relatives, but now they had to leave suddenly, and everyone was about to return to their hometown. This...not only came suddenly, but also...almost everyone was reluctant to part with it.

According to the decree, they can only stay here for one night, and the severance fee will be paid the next day, and they will leave immediately.

Zhou Yi felt that his mind was blank, and he was insane. Like everyone else, he was silent and did not speak. Everyone lowered their heads and packed their bags.

During dinner in the evening, some people sobbed softly while eating.

As the night passed, everyone's hearts were complicated. When they were about to leave the camp to say goodbye, the emotions that were suppressed in their hearts burst out suddenly under the emotion of being about to part ways.

Zhou Yi suddenly burst into tears at the gate of the camp, and some robes who accompanied him day and night also hugged their heads and wept.

The relationship between the army and classmates is slightly different, especially in the first army, everyone practiced together under the scorching sun, crawled in the mud, shoulder to shoulder with each other in combat, experienced the test of life and death, and surpassed ordinary people's honing time and time again. For individuals, it is suffering.

And after countless hardships and the torment of life and death, only Pao Ze, who ate and slept together, and stayed together all day, became the reliance of mutual comfort.

But now... everything is back to the original point.

Zhou Yi desperately wiped his red eyes, and finally... boarded the pick-up carriage. He got into the carriage with a few fellow villagers, and looked through the glass window at the distant gate, the familiar banner, and the There are those familiar faces, as if... cut off a part of my life all of a sudden.

The decree came ruthlessly, and the dismissal process was also very quick, because... these soldiers were already used to obeying, even if they were reluctant to give up in every possible way, they all packed their bags and set off on their way home.

…………

Jingli heard the news.

Suddenly there was an uproar.

The First Army was fine before, so why was it suddenly withdrawn?

In fact, Beijing and China have a good impression of the First Army.

The First Army has almost no disturbance to the people, and...the discipline is strict, and it once put down the Jiang Bin Rebellion.

Such an army and horses would break up as soon as they said they would, which is really unexpected.

On this day, Zhu Houzhao brought Fang Jifan, Liu Jian, Liu Jin, Wang Shouren and others to a teahouse.

They were wearing casual clothes, although they looked strange as a group of people, but... not many people paid attention to them.

In the teahouse, people were discussing enthusiastically, and countless words filled Zhu Houzhao's ears.

Zhu Houzhao is like a quiet listener, holding a teacup, drinking tea slowly.

"It's a pity for the First Army. I thought that with them, the capital would be safe. We ordinary people feel at ease. How could we have thought that...the court will change when it says it will."

"Yes, yes, but... I heard that many soldiers cried to death when they left the camp."

"It's all right after crying. It's a good thing for them, but whoever is a soldier who has a little bit of promise? Look, how many soldiers' families are looking for a matchmaker to get married, but which serious family Will his daughter marry them? If this soldier continues to do so, he will have no descendants."

"That's the truth. Nine out of ten people who join the army are not good people. What good can they do if they join the army? It's good to leave. Afterwards, the military households will be canceled and they will be good people."

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao was about to lose his temper again, and wanted to drop the teacup in his hand, taking advantage of the situation.

Fang Jifan knew Zhu Houzhao best, he pressed Zhu Houzhao's hand in a hurry, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty... What are you doing arguing with others? What if you win?"

Zhu Houzhao knew that Fang Jifan's words were right, but he was still holding his breath, so he put down the teacup, but suddenly said loudly: "Not at all. Without these soldiers, can we be safe and sound? You guys are talking nonsense."

He said so loudly.

Several people who were talking about it suddenly lowered their voices and looked at Zhu Houzhao in astonishment. Unexpectedly, someone came to argue with him at this time.

But when they saw Zhu Houzhao's young appearance, they immediately showed a meaningful look, and then looked at Zhu Houzhao with a look of caring for the mentally retarded.

"Little brother... the old man is from the past, so you don't understand now. Joining the army is not a nice word. You young people are ignorant, and you will know it in the future."

The others burst into laughter, thinking that it was the young master of some merchant who ran out to talk nonsense.

"In the future, if my little brother has a daughter, he will know a saying that a woman would rather die than marry a soldier. People who join the army have been called bandits in the army in all dynasties. They are criminals who have committed crimes. They should be exiled and sent to the army." You just went to the army, let me tell you, what good can this do?"
