Domineering Daming

"Decree, Qin Liangyu is the commander-in-chief of Sichuan, Lu Xiang is promoted to the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi, Xiong Tingbi is the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, Cao Wenzhao is the commander-in-chief of Shandong, and Zhao Ledjiao is the commander-in-chief of Shanxi... Mangui leads the tiger wolf guards, stationed in Tumu Fortress, and more Dorgon is the chief soldier of the Chijin Guard, temporarily stationed in the Jingdong camp..."

"Food, from now on all the troops will not distribute food, and they will be exchanged with silver bills. The silver bills paid by the Ministry of War are all in cash at Huitong Commercial Bank, and you can withdraw the silver with the bills."

"The flags, clothing, and weapons of all the troops of the Ming Dynasty will be unified. The military rank is above the general army, plus generals, generals, and marshals..."

Zhu Xu listened silently. These were all finalized after repeated consideration. Even so, they had to watch carefully from now on. Once they found something wrong, they had to change it immediately.

The army is no small matter!

"About supervising the army..." Sun Chengzong paused at this point, glanced at Zhu Xu, saw that he had no special reaction, and said: "The emperor decided not to set up a supervising army, and at the same time will strictly order the eunuchs not to leave Beijing at will... "

This also relieved the generals. This matter is very sensitive, and the emperor has never had an attitude. Now that he heard Sun Chengzong's words, he quietly put his heart back in his stomach.

Zhu Xu sat there, listening quietly.Regarding the Supervising Army, he has always hesitated, but finally gave up. He has enough confidence and ability to contain anyone's rebellion!

"The Hall of Soldiers is in charge of training, and the Ministry of War is in charge of dispatching..."

Although Sun Chengzong has tried his best to be concise, but speaking, it is still not short, and he is quite eloquent.

Everyone listened carefully. This is the emperor. The imperial court's strict establishment of military power marked the formation of Ming's military system.The army is the foundation of a country's stability, and no one will care about it.

Zhu Youjian and others are listening, but the others are fine, but Zhu Youjian feels that the military power given to these generals is too great, and there is no supervision of the army, which is too dangerous!

But this was obviously not a unilateral decision by the emperor or the Ministry of War, but the way most generals agreed. He gritted his teeth secretly and did not make a sound.

"Navy, the tentative establishment is [-], the chief soldier Xiong Wencan, four deputy chief soldiers, and the artillery of the Ordnance Bureau will be given priority..."

"The emperor is the supreme commander of the three armies. He establishes the three armies and possesses all immutable powers..."

"Your Majesty." Cao Huachun walked in quickly and handed two pieces of paper to Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu glanced at him, opened it calmly, and then narrowed his eyes, and the corner of Er Er's mouth was half a smile.

Sun Chengzong stopped talking, thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, that's about it. All the generals don't have any opinions. Can you order the cabinet to draw up an imperial edict, seal it, and send it to the world?"

Zhu Xu could see that Sun Chengzong was a little anxious. This matter really should be done sooner rather than later. It took too long for the provincial commanders to leave the station, and no one was sure if there would be any changes.

Zhu Xu didn't speak, but pushed the two pieces of paper forward.

Sun Chengzong sat back, looked down, his expression was moved, he looked at Zhu Xu and said: "Your Majesty, do you want to call Tiger Wolf Guards for reinforcements?"

Shen Yongmao also saw it at this time. The content of the two notes was one: Horqin soldiers committed Chahar.Two: Huang Taiji led his army to appear thirty miles away from Shenyang City.

Shen Yongmao's heart skipped a beat, Jiannu came to commit crimes at this time, is it because of the "emptiness" of the general soldiers from all over the place, or is it really going to make a comeback?

In fact, the Ming Dynasty had no good way to deal with the cavalry. Chahar could say that he would withdraw to the Great Wall at most, but Liaodong was different. There were no passes to defend, and the cavalry came and went freely!No matter how ugly it is, even if Huang Taiji hits North Korea, he can return safely!

After reading it, Shen Yongmao pushed towards Cao Wenzhao who was beside him.

Cao Wenzhao glanced over, his eyes were like round bells, he stood up and said to Zhu Xu in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I request you to go north and go out of the Great Wall to fight Jiannu!"

Others also saw it one after another. Qin Liangyu sat in the front row and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please build a city on the grassland!"

Zhu Xu's eyes lit up, he looked at Qin Liangyu and said, "Continue."

Qin Liangyu's voice was clear and firm, and he said: "Your Majesty, there are many cavalry in the prairie, and there are many invincibles in our court. If three big cities are erected on the prairie, with each other as horns, guarding each other with artillery, sufficient food and grass, connected by cavalry, it will be enough." Shock the entire grassland!"

Zhu Xu's heart skipped a beat. This idea is really good. He also thought about it, but it's easier said than done. Building a city in the grassland is not an easy task!

However, Huang Taiji is provocative at this time, Zhu Xu must give him a little bit of power!

Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the table, and said indifferently: "Pass the decree to King Shunping, and order him to summon the tribes of Mongolia and ancient times to attack Horqin in the name of my Ming Dynasty, and then pass the decree to Sun Chuanting. If Huang Taiji has not yet Let's go, open the gate of Shenyang, and see if Huang Taiji dares to enter!"

King Shunping is the title of Lin Dan Khan.

Sun Chengzong heaved a sigh of relief, fearing that the emperor would really listen to Cao Wenzhao's rhetoric under his prestige. If the Ming Dynasty really marched into the grassland, it would definitely be more terrifying than Sarhu.

"According to the order!"

Cao Huachun responded and walked out quickly.

Cao Wenzhao and Qin Liangyu looked at each other and sat down.

Zhu Xu concluded in his heart that Huang Taiji was just bluffing. If he really wanted to start a war, he would never fight on both sides. They didn't have the capital!

Sun Chengzong and Shen Yongmao looked at each other, and said: "Your Majesty, Jiannu, Horqin's threat is not in sight, we still need to complete the reform of the military system as soon as possible."

Zhu Xu calmly said, "Well, let's go on, with me here, they can't make any waves."

Many people are still eager to move, thinking that building slaves is just a remnant of evil, which should be eliminated as soon as possible. With the current military strength of Ming Dynasty and the cannon, it will definitely be able to do it!

But Zhu Xu knew in his heart that although the Jiannu were different from Mongolia, they could also become nomads. The Ming army couldn't go deep into the huge grassland, and it was just a good wish to completely cut them off.

Sun Chengzong quickly changed the topic and continued the topic of military reform.

Chapter 541 Rough

"For all the troops of Ming Dynasty, there will be a strict assessment, the survival of the fittest, better troops and simpler administration..."

Sun Chengzong's voice was a little louder to divert the thoughts of the generals present.

Jiannu threatened Liaodong for nearly a hundred years, and the Ming Dynasty won less and lost more.Since the current emperor came to the throne, Daming has never had a defeat, and his reputation is in full swing, so the generals are naturally full of fighting spirit.

Sun Chengzong is a rare calm person, and his voice is getting louder.

Zhu Xu scoffed at Huang Taiji's action. Liaodong is the coldest time, that is, demonstrations. How can we fight?What's more, if he can't win Shenyang, he doesn't even have a foundation. With the current population of Jiannu, even if Horqin is added, the foundation is shallow. Every battle is a loss, but replenishment will be extremely slow.If you are smart, you can only fight, annex, and grow on the Mongolian grassland.

Qin Liangyu's face was somewhat hesitant to speak, and Zhu Xu could guess her thoughts. In her opinion, even if Jiannu couldn't be wiped out in a single battle, he had to suppress it gradually, and find a suitable opportunity to kill him in one fell swoop. He couldn't be indulged like this.

Zhu Xu didn't explain, this year is the beginning of the real disaster, it will become more and more serious, and it will continue for more than ten years, life will be very difficult for Daming, relatively, it will be even more difficult on the grassland!Without Daming's output, they would be in pain!

At that time, the cavalry of Ming Dynasty should be worthy of entering the grassland for a battle, right? !

Zhu Xu squinted, interrupted Sun Chengzong's words suddenly, and said: "There are too many war zones, so let's divide them into five, according to the geographical location. In addition, safety zones should be demarcated at sea, and the navy patrols regularly. , the protection of fishermen, the safety of merchant ships, and if there is a suitable opportunity, naval bases can also be established overseas..."

Sun Chengzong was stunned, and thought for a while: "What the emperor said is that I will discuss it later. In addition, I suggest that the standing army in each province be expanded to [-], and recruits will be recruited at the same time. Veterans will retire in three years, and the rotation will continue."

The corners of Zhu Xu's lips curled up slightly. This is the reserve service. These veterans have undergone strict training. Once a war breaks out and the troops are insufficient, as long as they are called back, they can be sent to the battlefield with a little training.

Others also think this method is very good, but this is a "digression", which belongs to Sun Chengzong's temporary play.

When his words fell, Cao Wenzhao hurriedly continued: "Your Majesty, I have another suggestion. Set up a special team in each army station, only responsible for teaching soldiers to read, read, and learn the art of war. It is best not to care about other things." He is a talented person..."

Cao Wenzhao's proposal made everyone's eyes light up, hiding generals, this is a good way!

Zhu Xu smiled and said nothing, this was what he said in a chat with Cao Wenzhao before, but unexpectedly he remembered it.

As soon as Cao Wenzhao opened his mouth, Qin Liangyu also said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the method of garrisoning fields should also be applied now, and that the standing armies in various places should have a piece of land for farming. Two hundred hectares are enough to meet the food and grass needs of an army of [-] for a year. "
