Domineering Daming

Yang Sichang listened silently, as the Minister of the Military Department in charge of the Military Intelligence Department, he had to figure out every detail of what they said.

The other generals also started whispering and discussing in low voices.

Qin Liangyu's suggestion is not uncommon, and it can even be said to be normal. The imperial court already had military land, and Sun Chengzong also reclaimed thousands of acres of land in Liaodong.

Of course, what Qin Liangyu said now is different from the past. She is actually making reasonable suggestions, and this is not "self-raising".

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, and at the same time felt emotionally, [-] hectares can feed [-] troops, a prince often sits on tens of thousands of hectares, and every day he yells that he doesn't have enough food and drink, so he reaches out to the court.

Cao Wenzhao saw that Zhu Xu didn't speak, his heart moved, and he said, "There are records here, you adults can speak freely, as long as it is beneficial to the court, the emperor will accept it."

After Cao Wenzhao finished speaking, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but said directly: "Your Majesty, I believe that the compensation for the generals and soldiers who died in battle should be clarified, and it should not be issued after the court discusses."

Just as Zhu Xu was about to nod his head, Mao Wenlong, who knew well that he would not be liked by civil and military officials at court, finally seized the opportunity and said to Zhu Xu, "Your Majesty, I think that we should build mausoleums for the military generals who died in battle, so as to promote the hearts of the soldiers for the country!"

Zhu Xu's eyes lit up, this is indeed a good way.

"Your Majesty." Zhao Lijiao also said loudly: "The famous Lingyan Pavilion in the Tang Dynasty has been passed down to future generations, and I ask the emperor to re-establish the Lingyan Pavilion!"

Zhu Xu nodded approvingly at Zhao Ratejiao, this idea is very good.

As several people spoke one after another, especially the emperor's satisfied face, a group of generals rushed to speak out, breaking up the situation that Sun Chengzong had worked so hard to arrange, almost out of control.

Zhu Xu liked such a scene very much, this was the atmosphere for discussing affairs.

Sun Chengzong secretly felt a headache. He was afraid that these people would not know how to measure and would make some seemingly reasonable but actually dangerous demands.Almost all of Ming's civil and military officials and high-level officials are here. If it is really brought up, will the emperor agree or not?

Fortunately, these "reckless men" still have a sense of propriety, and did not make any excessive demands. Sun Chengzong ordered someone to record it, and discuss it here. He will discuss it with the Ministry of War later, and then report it to the emperor.

This discussion was quite unexpected. The generals discussed the war zone planning, the scope of operations, methods, and even how to coordinate, from the soldiers' compensation to the general's meritorious deeds. It was a "fierce" debate.Among them, Qin Liangyu was the most "dominant". She proposed many "tactics". Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao, and even Yang Sichang and others all refuted it, turning this meeting into a "tactical tea party".

Sun Chengzong and Shen Yongmao looked at each other, and they both shook their heads and smiled wryly. They should have thought of it earlier, but the emperor seemed to be deliberately trying to make these people speak, and they couldn't stop them even if they wanted to.

Zhu Xu sat, smiled and listened quietly.

Open and honest discussions often have unexpected benefits. After today, I believe everyone here will gain something.

Zhu Youjian and other members of the "civilian department" did not speak up. They were asked to "observe" and not "involve".The courtier Goulian, who holds a heavy army, is very sensitive. Under the eyes of the emperor, naturally no one dares to intervene at will.

This meeting lasted for nearly three hours, and it was only the first half. As the general soldiers spoke, the things that had been ordered before were also mentioned a lot. They all wanted to "supplement" and "perfect" ".

Zhu Xu had been listening quietly the whole time, seeing that everyone was tired, he stood up and smiled and said, "Okay, what you said is good, let's rest for half an hour and have dinner in the palace, Cao Huachun, let the imperial dining room prepare the meal." .”

Only then did everyone suddenly come to their senses, stood up one after another, raised their hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Xu came out of Wucheng Pavilion and breathed a sigh of relief. This was only the first half.

Cao Huachun and Liu Shimin followed Zhu Xu with strange expressions.

In the past court meetings, courtiers accused and attacked each other, and sometimes they even wanted to kill each other on the spot.Cao Huachun has never seen such an unsteady "discussing the matter as it stands".

Sun Chengzong and Shen Yongmao chased after him. Sun Chengzong frowned and said, "Your Majesty, we can't continue, otherwise we will lose control."

Shen Yongmao also said: "Your Majesty, let me, Mr. Sun Ge, communicate with the commanders in private, and then gather them together and report to the Emperor."

Zhu Xu can understand the worries of the two. The generals of the Ming Dynasty have always had a low status. In addition to the prevalence of party disputes these years, everyone lives cautiously. Now that the emperor emphasizes military merits, they naturally want to obtain a more "fair" identity and status. If such a request Openly proclaiming it will put the court and the emperor in an embarrassing situation.

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't worry so much, how about it, let King Xin take all the civil servants back, and change the meeting in the afternoon to focus on the theater first, let them choose a team leader, and report the results of the discussion Come up, you can discuss with the team leader again, which ones are listed as topics, and those that are no longer listed should not be discussed..."

Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and said: "Yes, I will do it after waiting."

Zhu Xu walked out of Huiji Gate, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you guys should eat something first, today won't be over for now."

Sun Chengzong and the two of them also saw that these generals had something to say.

Zhu Xu went back to the Imperial Study Room, while eating, he called out all the information about Liaodong.

Although he was very calm and dismissive of Huang Taiji and Horqin's changes in front of the officials, he was still extremely vigilant in his heart.

His confrontation with Huang Taiji was based on foresight, preparations, and surprises to win every step of the way. But now that the situation has changed, he has to be 1 careful!

Huang Taiji is extraordinary!

Cao Huachun took out the information booklet recorded, flipped through the pages and handed it to Zhu Xu, who respectfully stood aside.

Zhu Xu flipped through the pages quietly, even though he had already read it once, he still carefully scrutinized each word, trying to find unusual information from it, so as to deduce the purpose of Huang Taiji's sudden action this time.

After a while, Zhu Xu frowned slightly. He didn't find any clues, and he couldn't see the reason and purpose of Huang Taiji's mobilization this time.

"Could it be that I just called all the generals back to Beijing for a demonstration? To show off our strength?" Zhu Xu squinted his eyes and whispered softly.Being vigilant does not mean being afraid. Now the general trend is in his hands. Huang Taiji wants to make a comeback. There is only one sentence: wishful thinking!

"Your Majesty, let's eat." Liu Shimin walked in and called in a low voice.

Zhu Xu raised his head and glanced at him, and then saw a palace maid behind Liu Shimin coming in with a tray, bowing her body to salute.

Immediately, Zhu Xu felt his stomach growling, closed the booklet and said: "Okay, by the way, send someone to check on those grown-ups, don't be negligent, the food should not be good, it's quite satisfactory, you know?"

Liu Shimin knew that the emperor always disliked luxury and advocated frugality, which also had a great impact on the atmosphere of the capital. Civil and military officials seldom flaunted their wealth in luxury.

"Yes." Liu Shimin responded and asked the maid to put the food on the table, and then he turned and went to Wucheng Pavilion.

As soon as Liu Shimin left, Zhu Xu looked at Cao Huachun and said, "Send the information on Liaodong to the Military Intelligence Department, let them analyze it carefully, and report back to me."

Cao Huachun turned sideways and said, "Yes."

Including Qin Liangyu, it was the first time for a group of generals to encounter this kind of situation. They "brutally" discussed the matter without involving individuals or attacking each other, and they were all in a particularly excited mood.

Cao Wenzhao took a few chances during the meal, leaned close to Mao Wenlong, and said in a low voice, "Mao Shilang, I heard that the logistics base jointly established by the six ministries will be expanded again?"

Although Mao Wenlong was in the military hall, but the military hall was just established, and he was a man with his tail between his legs, so he didn't know much about it, but he couldn't afford to offend this person in front of him. After thinking about it seriously, he glanced around and said Said: "To tell the truth, Mr. Cao, there is a plan to expand, but... now that the generals want to farm, the plan will change."

Cao Wenzhao nodded thoughtfully, he naturally wanted to get more benefits for his Huben Army, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Minister Mao, let's drink together tonight!"

Mao Wenlong was eager to make friends with the emperor's number one confidant, so he agreed repeatedly.

Not only Cao Wenzhao, but other people are also walking around, hoping to benefit their army in this military system reform, so as to build a strong army. With a strong army, military achievements will not be far away. Which general does not desire Galloping the battlefield, making great achievements in battle, and then becoming famous all over the world, and being named a prince and prime minister?

This military reform meeting, which was destined to shock future generations, lasted for two days. Before the group of generals who guarded the world left Beijing, the imperial edicts drafted by the cabinet were also promulgated one after another.

At the same time, the Chaobao sent out the news simultaneously in eighteen provinces.

The military reform has roughly three contents:

One is to establish the Jingzheng Dynasty and the later Ming military system.The second is the transfer of personnel and the division of theaters.Third, it clarifies the training, development and war direction of the Ming army.

Although it seems simple, it involves extremely complicated things. Zhu Xu also prepared for a long time before completing this series of arrangements.
