The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

From then on, the contempt of Nurhachi and the Jurchens in the Ming Dynasty can be seen.

It can be said that in the Ming Dynasty, the only one who can see Nurhachi and Jurchen clearly and threaten the Ming Dynasty is Yan Song!

But how can this reason convince the entire Ming court?

Fortunately, Yan Song didn't need to be persuaded!

Since the crown prince and Wu Xun's family were all beheaded by Yan Song, Yan Song no longer has too much constraint in the court, and without a powerful political opponent who can compete with him for a long time, Yan Song can let go.

But during the six months of the prince's rebellion, it was just this short half year. Due to the prince's civil strife, Yan Song was involved too much energy, and the situation of (bdde) countries around the Ming Dynasty had undergone tremendous changes.

Within half a year, Oda Nobunaga defeated Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin, and Miyoshi Changqing, controlled the shogun, became Japan's number one man in the world, and launched a war of aggression against Korea.

Within half a year, Nurhachi rose strongly, unified the Jurchen tribes, and launched a war of annexation of Mongolia.

It can be said that in the past six months, Yan Song has been busy solving the confidant's troubled prince, which has created a political vacuum in Ming Dynasty, and caused extremely sinister changes in the political environment around Ming Dynasty.

Perhaps it was the appearance of Yan Song that changed history, leading to a butterfly effect and a chain reaction in history. Many historical events that should have happened 50 years after Wanli's rule were all greatly advanced.

But instead of feeling scared, Yan Song was pleasantly surprised!

I'm not afraid of you making trouble, but I'm afraid it's not a big deal!

As long as there is an incident or a crisis, domestic conflicts can be temporarily suppressed, and Jiajing will trust him in every possible way.

Another advantage is that if guys like Oda Nobunaga and Nurhachi are wretched and developed, and they are stable, Yan Song can't find a reason to attack them.

Although he is now firmly under one person and above ten thousand people, but with Jiajing's lazy temperament that one thing is worse than one thing less, he must be persuaded to launch the Jiajing Three Great Marches to solve many hidden scourges such as Hou Jin, North Korea, Japan, etc. Trouble, it's really not easy.

But now, Nurhachi, Oda Nobunaga and other historical kings are all self-inflated and feel too good, so they jumped out one after another, which gave Yan Song an excellent opportunity to solve them.

However, the aftermath of the prince's rebellion has not been completely eliminated.

What about Mao?

Because of the civil strife in Ming Dynasty, the consumption is not small.

Although Yan Song has tried his best to defeat the prince as soon as possible, he has minimized the hidden dangers and losses of the prince's civil strife.However, as a ruler who usurped the throne for a generation, the prince still caused irreparable losses to the strength of Ming Dynasty.

For example, the three major battalions of the capital.

The three major battalions of the capital, as the elite guarding the capital of the Ming Dynasty, were basically following the prince to rebel, and were wiped out by Yan Song in the battle to attack the capital.

Even if they weren't all finished, Yan Song would absolutely despise the rest of the rubbish troops that had been dominated by the Wu Xun family for a long time, and the rest of them.

He simply invited Jiajing, and on the grounds of participating in the rebellion, completely disbanded the original three major battalions of the capital—Sanqian Battalion, Wujun Battalion, and Shenji Battalion.

A bunch of useless and weak chickens, all get out of here!Go home and farm!

As a result, the important task of rebuilding the three major battalions of the capital fell into the hands of Yan Song.

Chapter 1704 Force the king to fight for hegemony, I am the strongest king [5]

Yan Song got Jiajing's will, and finally he was able to rebuild the three major battalions of the capital by recruiting troops in accordance with the new military system. He planned to make this weak rookie army that had been squatting in the gentle countryside of the capital for a long time to make soy sauce into a rival to the frontier army and the Qi family army. , Ma Jiajun and other elite powerful legions.

But it all takes time and commitment.

Although Yan Song seized hundreds of millions of money from the family of Wu Xun, the funds will not be a problem, and he has also transferred a large number of low-level officers from elite troops such as the Qi family army and the Ma family army, as the backbone to enrich the three new battalions. It still takes time to build an army to guard the capital.

Yan Song dared to use troops against Mongolia before the three major battalions of the capital had not formed a reliable combat capability?

Elites such as Ma Jiajun and Qi Jiajun can be sent out to fight the wild boar Pihorqin, but what if the Beijing Division is empty?

Continue to draw troops from the south?

Not to mention that Japan is still ready to move, even if there is no Japan, in order to guard against the pressure of the Spanish Empire's Armada, Yan Song would not dare to mobilize the elite southeast soldiers too much.

Southeast is the lifeblood of Daming's economy. Daming's entire life is given by Southeast!

What if the Spanish Armada and thousands of modern warships suddenly appeared in the South China Sea of ​​Da Ming when the battle was raging in the north, threatening the richest southeast region, what would Da Ming do?

Yan Song couldn't help feeling a headache.

Although his internal confidant enemy has been killed now, the external situation he faces is also complicated and severe.

"Paralysis, how come there are so many strong people in this era?" Yan Song was sometimes helpless: "Philip II, Nurhachi, Oda Nobunaga, and Salim of the Mughal Empire are all vying to come out one by one, why? Can't you come one by one?"

Complaints are nothing but complaints, Yan Song is still very excited in the face of so many historically powerful enemies, the king of pretentiousness.

To force the king to fight for hegemony, I am the most forceful king.

The problem he has to face now is how to steadily promote Daming's external expansion bit by bit, and solve Daming's confidantes one by one.

"How is the reform of the military system and the reconstruction of the three major battalions of the capital going?" Yan Song asked Qi Jiguang.

He was not satisfied with Zhang Siwei, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and wanted to change Qi Jiguang as the Minister of the Ministry of War.

Qi Jiguang is absolutely a talent.

He is not only good at fighting, but also has a good strategic vision to lead the overall situation.

Just by reading the [Military System Reform Strategy] written by him, Yan Song knew that apart from being afraid of his wife, raising a concubine secretly outside, and having illegitimate children, Yan Song had also worked hard on the military system.

(That's right, Qi Jiguang recently raised his concubine secretly outside and had an illegitimate child. I will write about this scandal later)

Qi Jiguang said in a deep voice: "Master Yuanfu, you ordered me to take the lead. After rebuilding the three major battalions of the capital, I have recruited warriors in the capital and the whole country. But the recruitment work is not going well. The standards we require are relatively high. Gao, most of the warriors who come to apply for the job are unqualified, and the pass rate is only 3000%. Only [-] people have been recruited so far."
