Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 1595 Huge harvest

   "Zi Hou, I asked you once last time. It has been more than a month. Now I will ask you again, how is your Zhejiang Army doing?"

Zhang Jing asked, he knew that it was a coincidence that Zhu Pingan led the Zhejiang army to destroy the Shangyu Japanese pirates. Zhu Pingan grasped the arrogance, arrogance, and conceited habits of the Shangyu Japanese pirates, and planned ahead of time, so that the Japanese pirates were hit by what is called a peacock tail Drug addicted, it was successfully wiped out.

   That is to say, this time the battle against the Japanese did not test the true level of the Zhejiang army, so I have this question.

   "My lord, after this period of training, the Zhejiang army also saw blood when they wiped out the Shangyu Japanese pirates. Although they have not yet become elite soldiers, they are already worthy of a battle." Zhu Pingan replied seriously and responsibly.

"It's worthy of a battle. It's not bad. I didn't expect Zihou to be good at training soldiers." Zhang Jing couldn't help but nodded. Worthy of a war" is not bad, it is a very pertinent evaluation.

  Actually, the four words "worthy of a battle" alone are much stronger than most guards.

  In recent years, how many guards and horses have fought against Japanese pirates, and they were defeated in World War I, and it can even be said that they were defeated at the touch of a finger.

"Your Excellency is absurd." Zhu Pingan replied modestly, "Ping An is also the first time for military training. Standing on the shoulders of the sages, with a passion, he crossed the river by feeling the stones. In fact, for so long, Ping An There are still many problems and confusions about military training, but I still have to ask the adults and veterans for advice."

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, Zihou, you have done a good job. As for asking for advice, I am good at using soldiers, but not good at training soldiers. I don't have any good experience to share with Zihou." Zhang Jing smiled slightly, and continued The voice changed, "However, after a while, Zihou, you don't have to worry about finding someone to hire a coach."

  Zhu Pingan understood the meaning of Zhang Jing's words. Zhang Jing had already put the dispatch of troops on the agenda. After a while, many veteran generals would arrive with orders, and he would not have to worry about finding someone to ask for advice.

   "Zi Hou, what are your plans next?" Zhang Jing asked again.

  Zhu Ping'an replied with a serious face: "Train troops and prepare for war, prepare your troops hard, and be ready to fight and kill Japanese at all times!"

   "Okay!" Zhang Jing nodded in satisfaction, "If everyone is like Zihou, why worry about the Japanese pirates' injustice."

   "Preparing for war is the fundamental function of a soldier. It is natural to serve as a soldier and lead soldiers to fight." Zhu Pingan said modestly.

"It's natural to be a soldier and fight a war. It's just and right to lead soldiers. Zihou said it well." Hearing Zhu Ping'an's answer, Zhang Jing couldn't help thinking about it, and then sighed, "But this is just and right. That's easy to do. Peace has passed for a long time, and the guards have been dismantled and retreated. There are many military households who have fled, and the soldiers and horses are rarely trained.

  Zhu Ping'an couldn't help sighing, alas, this is the current status of the guard system!

  Back then, Taizu said proudly, "I raise millions of soldiers, and don't spend a single grain of rice on the common people." If Taizu knew the current situation of the soldiers in the guards, it is estimated that the coffin board would not be able to hold it down.

   "My lord is saying that I have to admit that the current military system of the guards is really worrying. The soldiers and horses of the guards everywhere are not very good. I suggest that your lord should recruit troops to form a new army while dispatching troops."

   Zhu Ping'an suggested.

  Zhu Ping'an is familiar with history, and dispatching troops is a last resort at present. In fact, the situation of Japanese invasion has improved rapidly, and it has become better since Qi Jiguang and others recruited troops to form a new army to form combat effectiveness.

  So Zhu Ping'an put forward the suggestion of recruiting soldiers, just to speed up the process, recruiting soldiers earlier, and destroying the Japanese faster.

"Recruiting troops to form a new army is not so easy. Now our Ming Dynasty military system adheres to the unspoken rule of 'separation of soldiers and commanders'. If recruiting troops to form a new army, the cabinet must delegate military power to the generals, and the recruited new army will inevitably be marked. The stigma of generals, over time, will have the hidden danger that the imperial court will not be able to fully control military power, or become a force that individual generals can influence. This kind of hidden danger should not be underestimated."

  Zhang Jing shook his head slightly. How could he not know the current situation of the guards? He also wanted to recruit soldiers to form a new army, but now the Ming Dynasty implements the guard system, and recruiting soldiers to build an army is not so easy.

   "Uh" Zhu Ping'an couldn't help being taken aback.

"This is not alarmist. The Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty is an example. In the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Eastern Han Dynasty officers and soldiers were short of military resources and military expenditures, and their combat power was poor. The imperial court was unable to suppress the Yellow Turban Rebellion. To suppress the Yellow Turban Rebellion, these armed forces became powerful private soldiers. It is undeniable that they played a key role in suppressing the Yellow Turban Rebellion. I also know that the warlords separated and fought, and finally Wei, Shu and Wu divided the world into three parts, and the Eastern Han Dynasty was finally destroyed by Cao Pi. Therefore, it is not easy for the court to be cautious when recruiting troops to build an army." Zhang Jingchang sighed and cited the Eastern Han Dynasty. The example of warlord melee in the last years further demonstrated the hidden dangers of recruiting troops to build an army, indicating that the imperial court was very cautious about recruiting troops to build an army, and it was not easy to recruit troops to form a new army.

   Zhu Pingan nodded when he heard the words, but he didn't think so far. Indeed, there is such a hidden danger in the recruitment system. Recruiting soldiers is a double-edged sword. It is easy to overturn and become a separatist warlord, threatening the rule.

   Indeed, Daming is very cautious about recruiting soldiers. In history, the Jiajing Dynasty pacified the Japanese invasion, and only allowed a handful of people to recruit soldiers to build an army. Among them, the famous Qi Jiguang recruited soldiers to form the Qi Family Army, and Yu Dayou recruited soldiers to form the Yu Family Army. Moreover, the establishment of both is also limited, both in the thousands about.

"However, Zihou can recruit more soldiers and horses. The Holy Majesty has granted you the right to specialize in regiment training, but your recruitment and formation of regiments is justified. Well, let's see, Zihou is also good at troop training. With your quota of 1,200, you are allowed to recruit troops on your own to make up for the 2,000-man establishment of the Zhejiang Army. From this month onwards, I will pay your 2,000-man manpower on time every month. As long as I am on any day, I will never default In half a day, do you have the confidence to train two thousand Zhejiang troops well?" Zhang Jing changed the subject and looked at Zhu Pingan with burning eyes.

  Zhu Ping'an couldn't help breathing and became excited. He got up from the table and made a long bow, "Ping An will live up to your expectations."

"Okay, the Japanese officials will write the papers tomorrow, and you can choose a day to recruit soldiers." Zhang Jing patted Zhu Ping'an's shoulder with satisfaction, "The so-called hard work is for those who are able, and you will be good at recruiting and training soldiers. I will have important tasks in the future." Leave it to you."

   "My lord, please rest assured that Ping An and the Zhejiang Army will live up to your expectations!" Zhu Pingan said firmly.

  The previous hard work was not in vain, and this wine was not in vain, and the harvest was huge.
