Domineering Daming

What he is talking about now are all local plans, and they seem to be clear and clear, but in fact they don't involve any specific methods.

Zhu Xu could understand Sun Chengzong's worries and worries, his expression remained unchanged, he looked at the others with a smile, and said, "You all talk about your ideas, no matter what it is, you have to say something, just follow, Lu Shilang, you come first."

Lu Xiangsheng was going to be transferred to be the chief officer of the Southern Theater Command, but he is now the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, and he has also participated in most of the "military reform". He heard that he was about to stand up, but sat down again after Zhu Xu pressed his hand and said Said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the 'military reform' is well thought out and there are no major flaws. As long as we act cautiously in the future and work together, it can be completed in at most two years. This time the 'military reform' is a review of the past military system. Just at the right time, it must be advanced quickly, without delay, and completed as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams, give Xiao a small excuse, and cause trouble..."

Lu Xiangsheng didn't say anything. What he said seemed to be very important, but when he thought about it carefully, there was no content at all.

Zhu Xu probably understood what he meant, and after nodding, he looked at Shen Yongmao beside him, and said, "Shen Shangshu?"

Shen Yongmao has been in the Ministry of War for many years, and he is a veteran minister among the six departments. He has put a lot of effort into the current military system and military regulations of the Ming Dynasty. He is also the main participant in the "military reform". The reform of the local military system is still in the initial stage, and it needs to be observed and improved, but the reform is imperative, and the "military reform" of the officials and others is not finalized, and it is necessary to look at three steps step by step, and gradually plan..."

Shen Yongmao said something useful, Zhu Xu's eyes turned to Guo Guangxin, the right servant of the Ministry of War.

Guo Guangxin is a newcomer. The reason why he came to power was because of the need for the cabinet to centralize power. He and Bi Zisu, Bi Ziyan's younger brother, were colleagues and were recommended.

Guo Guangxin hesitated, and said: "Your Majesty, the local army must not only be able to deal with various rebellions, but also obtain effective restraint, so as to prevent it from becoming big, forming a feudal town, and threatening the country. Therefore, it is necessary not only to strictly control the local armies , the major battalions must not slack off..."

Guo Guangxin's words were quite straightforward, and many of the commanders' faces were slightly condensed, and they bowed their heads in silence.

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, without comment, looked at Qin Liangyu, and said, "General Qin."

Qin Liangyu was sitting among a group of men, looking rather abrupt. This should be the first female general in the history of Ming Dynasty, and also the first woman who can be listed in the imperial court.

Everyone didn't feel that there was anything wrong. This old general was over 60 years old, and he was regarded as the elder of most people here.

Qin Liangyu bowed and said: "I would like to obey the orders of the emperor and the imperial court, and never dare to contradict them in the slightest."

Zhu Xu was taken aback, but he didn't expect Qin Liangyu to answer so simply. He smiled, turned his eyes around and landed on Jin Guoqi, and said, "President Jin?"

Jin Guoqi is the general soldier of Tianjin Guards, the original chief officer of the Jingdong camp, he said: "Back to the emperor, I think that the local 'military reform' is indeed necessary, and some bad governance needs to be sorted out. However, for the guards of the capital Still can't slack off, I ask you to re-establish the two camps in the east and west to ensure the safety of the capital!"

Zhu Xu glanced at him approvingly, then turned his gaze to Cao Wenzhao, and said, "General Cao?"

Cao Wenzhao is also well aware of the "military reform" this time. Now he only talks about the place, ponders for a while, and said: "Back to the emperor, I think that the local general army is too fixed and not flexible enough. Please set up three more cavalry and two infantry. The pawns, similar to the Shenji Battalion, are directly subject to the emperor's dispatch and are ready to respond to emergencies across the country at any time..."

As soon as Cao Wenzhao finished speaking, the expressions of Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao and the general soldiers changed slightly, and they immediately became thoughtful.

Cao Wenzhao is currently training a special army in Shanxi. His idea obviously comes from his identity, and it should also be the emperor's mind.

But Sun Chengzong and others think more, if there are such a few armies, they can indeed effectively deal with the crisis, and more importantly, they can also deter the local people enough to curb the delusions of some ambitious people!

But another disadvantage is that an army that is not controlled by the court is equivalent to the emperor's personal soldiers-this will be even more terrifying.

Not to mention the matter of Yingzong, just saying that there will be another Emperor Wuzong will make them terrified!

Everyone was silent and did not immediately refute.

The reason why Zhu Xu asked Cao Wenzhao to train a "quick reaction" army was mainly to open a window for the Ming army to gradually break away from the old military system, so that the dead tree can be reborn in spring.

Originally, he didn't think more, but Cao Wenzhao's words reminded him.

While thinking, Zhu Xu searched the crowd, landed on Yang Zhaoji, and said, "Mr. Yang?"

Yang Zhaoji is the chief soldier of Zhejiang Province. He used to suppress bandits in Shaanxi.

Hearing this, he leaned forward and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the 'military reform' should be prioritized, the coastal provinces should be prioritized, the southern provinces should follow suit, Liaodong needs to be cautious, and the Shaanxi, Gansu and Sichuan provinces need to be cautious. The civil chaos there is the worst and has never been extinguished. We should take it slowly and not rush it. The specific steps and methods must be carefully considered, so as not to lead to disasters..."

Zhu Xu nodded. Yang Zhaoji's words were also good. He turned his eyes and nodded to a few more people. What they said was based on their own standpoints. To zoom in, there are very few who really have a national perspective or a global perspective.

Not far away, there are three internal eunuchs, quietly writing.

It wasn't just Zhu Xu who was listening, Sun Chengzong, Lu Xiangsheng, Qin Liangyu and others were also thinking. They had never heard many things before, and they really spoke freely.

Half an hour later, Zhu Xu reached out to take the teacup, and just about to drink, he looked up at the crowd and said, "Don't be restrained, just pick up the tea and cakes around you, and eat whatever you want. It will be noon soon, so let's eat something." , I don’t know when we’re going to talk about it.”

Everyone looked at each other, Cao Wenzhao made the move first, followed by Sun Chengzong, the others looked at it, and followed one after another, all cautious, not daring to make a sound.

Chapter 1017 Top-Level Design

Zhu Xu smiled, and put the teacup to little Ciye's mouth. The little guy was drowsy, opened his eyes, looked up at Zhu Xu, opened his mouth, took a few sips, then pursed his mouth, never don't drink.

Zhu Xu chuckled, took a sip from his teacup, and looked up at the crowd.

Although everyone is eating, it is actually a buffer to prepare for the next topic.

Next - is the layout of the Grand Marshal's Mansion.

After a while, Sun Chengzong ate a piece of pastry, took a sip of tea, cleared his throat a little, and said, "Your Majesty, I have seen the design draft of the Grand Marshal's Mansion and basically have no comments. After the 'Military Reform' meeting, we can do it." Commencement. The plan of the ministers and others for the Grand Marshal's Mansion is: the Grand Marshal's Mansion is responsible for formulating the military system, military laws, and military regulations, has the right to dispatch, and has a combat department, a staff department, an intelligence department, an inspection department, a logistics department, and an equipment department. There are nine divisions and two bureaus, with eleven principals who are in the same position as the third rank, one general and eight generals, who are in charge of the general's mansion...the Ministry of War has the power to command the troops and is responsible for handling daily military affairs..."

What Sun Chengzong said was the top-level design planned by him and the Ministry of War.

What I'm talking about now is also very general, without specifics. Of course, if I want to talk about the details, I can't finish it in one or two hours.

Everyone was listening quietly, these were very important to the local generals like them, and no one dared to be careless.

Zhu Xu held Xiao Ciye in his arms, listening carefully and thinking.

Although Sun Chengzong promoted the "military reform" according to his intention, his purpose was completely different.

What he wants is to establish a huge military management organization with strong combat power, unrivaled, and even all the people are soldiers. In the next ten years, it will be the peak period of colonizing the entire earth, and Ming's army or colonial power will spread all over the world Every corner!In the Ming Dynasty at that time, these foreign court officials could not control the army.

The "Grand Marshal's Mansion" he wants is not only to compete with the cabinet, but even to overpower the cabinet. It should be quite "barbaric" in terms of military power in the army.

This institution will be the sharp sword in his hand, piercing through all obstacles and sweeping across this planet!

Zhu Xu couldn't say these words, otherwise these general soldiers would have to blow up their nests.Sun Chengzong's "military reform" strategy is actually a "stability" word. While ensuring that these troops will not threaten the Ming Dynasty, they can also guard one side and stabilize the world.

This order is the voice of almost all officials of the Ming Dynasty. The iron law is that if the army of a country is too strong, it will be prosperous and then decline, and the country will be subjugated!The civil servants of the outer court will never allow it!

Although Zhu Xu did not express his thoughts, Sun Chengzong and others knew that he had other thoughts and was trying his best to "evade", hoping that the "military reform" plan they had formulated could become an "established fact" as soon as possible. , so that Zhu Xu can not change.

Everyone here has their own thoughts, Zhu Xu hugged Xiao Ciye, looked at the group of people, smiled and said: "Come, everyone, talk about your ideas and speak freely."

According to the sequence just now, Lu Xiangsheng was the first to speak, and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the 'Grand Marshal's Mansion' can only be used temporarily, and the name needs to be changed when it is official. Clearly, how to operate, especially the commander-in-chief must have an explanation..."

Lu Xiangsheng got to the point, about the person in charge of the "Grand Marshal's Mansion", how it works, etc., even Sun Chengzong didn't explain the details, because he couldn't hold Zhu Xu's thoughts, so he could only leave it to Zhu Xu to add and discuss .

Zhu Xu didn't say much, wrapped a blanket on the drowsy little Ciye, looked at Shen Yongmao, and said, "Shen Shangshu."

Shen Yongmao immediately said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the Grand Marshal's Mansion must have a clear plan and goal, and the intention of reform must be clearly explained to the court and all people in the world..."

Zhu Xu's eyes brightened slightly, and he nodded secretly. After all, Shen Yongmao is the Minister of the Ministry of War. This sensitivity is very good.

"Guo Aiqing." Zhu Xu turned to Guo Guangxin again.

Guo Guangxin said: "My minister believes that the 'Grand Marshal's Mansion' still needs a clear position. What kind of position is it in the imperial court? This is not a matter of authority. In the 'New Deal', there is no 'Grand Marshal's Mansion' arrangement. ..."

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled without saying a word.This Guo Guangxin was a little smarter, and hit on something he had been ambiguous about.Naturally, it cannot be said that if the military power is too heavy, let alone the foreign court, the leaders in front of them would not dare to agree.
