Of course Chen Tieshan knew what Wang Buxu meant.

Chen Tieshan was also very grateful for this deep in his heart.

But Chen Tieshan also knew very well that he could not make this opening.

The Han Dynasty has been working on the separation of military and political affairs for several years, and everything is proceeding on the expected track.

If he accepts this token at this time, it will be tantamount to destroying the reputation that the big man has accumulated over the years.

Will Lingnan also be given military power by then?

Will military power still be given to the northern grasslands?

In this way, wouldn't it be true that the feudal officials who hold military and political power in their hands have truly become the representatives of the emperor who is high in the mountains and far away?

Therefore, Chen Tieshan did not want to destroy the order that had been established with great difficulty.

Indeed, holding the token can indeed make you feel more at ease.

But for the Han Empire, this was really not a good thing.

Maybe no one will say anything now, maybe no one will dare to mention the integration of military and political power in front of the emperor.

But what about the future?

Who can guarantee that every emperor of the Han Dynasty can have the prestige and power of Wang Buxu?

Once a rule is formed for a matter, if the emperor's prestige and ability cannot keep up in the future, the collapse of the country will not be far away.

Therefore, Chen Tieshan would rather hand over his own safety to the Fifth Army than accept the token.

Of course, he must take down Shang Fang's sword.

Just as Wang Buxu said, the mountains in the Western Region are high and the roads are far away, and correspondence takes half a year at a time. If we wait for the emperor to decide everything, it will be too late for the Qing Dynasty.

I really need such a privilege, the power to make decisions at a special moment.

And Shang Fang's sword is his best protection.

"Lu Wan!" Seeing that Chen Tieshan refused to accept the order, Wang Buxu had no choice but to focus on Lu Wan.

"The general is here!" Lu Wan, dressed in regular clothes, saluted Wang Buxu.

"The Fifth Army is somewhat different from other places. It is not only responsible for the security of the Han Dynasty's border areas, but also responsible for the garrison of the feudal countries. It is also responsible for the security of hundreds of cities in the Western Regions. Not long after the Western Regions joined the Han Dynasty, there are still some racial differences.

The population migration will not start until next year at the earliest, so before a large number of Han people migrate there, the burden on your shoulders is not light. No matter what happens in the Western Regions, the fifth group army's primary task is to protect Xingyang Marquis and all the people.

The safety of the Han people is the top priority." Wang Buxu directly explained the call.

The meaning is already obvious.

Until enough neutralized civilians migrate over, the Fifth Army's first priority is to protect these officials.

Chen Tieshan refused to take over the military power, so he naturally had to find other ways to ensure it.

We must not allow these people to have the military dare not move because they do not have authorization when they need military support the most.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, as long as the general is still breathing, he will never let the Han people suffer any harm in the Western Regions!" Lu Wan promised, patting her chest.

Although the master has changed, the development of this group of people has been very good.

Although some powers have been restricted, what should be available is still available.

There is nothing dissatisfied with Lu Wan now. He is still very satisfied with Lu Wan now.

The seven armies of the Han Dynasty were in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and Lu Wan was the only one among these seven.

Ten years ago, would he dare to believe that he was in such a position today?

Does he dare to think?

I wouldn't even dare to think about it.

Under Wang Buxu's personal practice, Chen Tieshan left Luoyang with more than a thousand officials and their families, supported by two armies, and headed west to start a new life in the Western Regions thousands of miles away.

.

I've sent you thousands of miles away, but you'll always be farewell.

Wang Buxu had been standing on the top of the city wall in Luoyang, watching the troops gradually retreating.

As people age, their mentality will also change.

At that time, Wang Buxu liked to brag, so he boasted about a Han Empire.

Now Wang Buxu also likes to brag.

But the way of bragging has changed.

He no longer does those things where he brags directly. He used to brag to others, but now he brags to himself.

He wants to use actual actions to fulfill what he has boasted about.

As for why Chen Tieshan should be given military power, doing so would destroy the order that the Han Dynasty had finally established.

Of course Wang Buxu knew this.

But what can we do if we know?

The separation of military and political affairs is not without its drawbacks. To weaken this drawback, a necessary condition is the increase of communication technology.

In this way, the imperial court can keep abreast of the situation on the front line at any time, and can mobilize troops to support at any time. At the same time, it can also effectively supervise and deter the army and the government.

This is what later generations did.

The transfer of the army, even if it is only one platoon, needs to be approved by the highest official.

Then some people may ask, if the transfer of dozens of people requires approval from the highest government, how much time will be wasted in the process? By the time the higher-ups approve it, won't everything be too late?

However, the reality is that you are wrong.

When it needs to be reported to the highest government for approval, it will definitely not be a trivial matter, and the amount of troops that need to be mobilized is definitely not something that a platoon, a company, or a battalion can handle.

What needs to be mobilized at this time is at least on a group basis.

In today's generation of advanced communication technology, the military has channels to directly contact the dedicated line, and through the dedicated line link, emergency authorization can be obtained in almost five minutes at the fastest.

Then there will be a meeting to discuss, learn more about the matter, and then decide whether to send additional troops.

And what should we do if there is a local problem before that?

An armed, fully militarized unit calling itself the police is about to assume temporary responsibility.

Although they also belong to the army, they are different from the army. The local government has the right to mobilize them.

However, every senior local official is the first political commissar of the local military region, and a senior official of a certain department is the first political commissar of another department. This arrangement is not unreasonable, but it gives the local government the power to

Temporarily mobilize troops to maintain stable power.

You can think of it as giving power to the military, but this power is limited. The maximum size of troops that can be mobilized is strictly limited.

But this set cannot be played now because of communication problems.

Once you play, if a brave person appears, he might actually dare to play with a flower for you.

Therefore, the court's current methods of controlling remote areas have not actually changed much.

It's nothing more than a combination of military and political affairs, placing scouts at different locations in their respective areas, and reporting any abnormalities immediately.

When the imperial court receives these reports, it will be extremely cautious and rarely wait until something goes wrong before dealing with it.
