Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

What's more, North Korea is destroyed, and there are not a few people who miss their homeland and rebel for revenge.

If Hou Jinliao Town wants North Korea to be used by them completely, it will not be done in a short time.

When they try their best to smooth out North Korea, he should also be able to smooth out Daming. At that time, troops will go out of the mountains and seas to pacify Liaodong, take over a North Korea that has been smoothed out after Jinliao Town, and then take advantage of the situation , bringing it into Ming Dynasty rule.

In this way, barely can be regarded as the best of both worlds!

"But... the royal family of Korea, you can't stay..."

At this point in his thoughts, Li Xiu whispered a word, which completely sealed the fate of North Korea.

Immediately, Li Xiu turned around abruptly, writing vigorously, a secret order issued to Shanhaiguan and boarded, and finally it was stamped with the seal of Duke Qin.

"Come on!"

"The end is here!"

Immediately, a personal guard pushed the door and entered, half kneeling on the ground.

"Immediately send someone to send this secret letter to the Superintendent of Shanhaiguan within [-] miles."

"Also, let Jin Yiwei Commander Li Ruolian come over!"

"The last will obey!"

The personal guards led away, Li Xiu turned around slowly, and looked at North Korea on the map again, deep in his eyes, there was a faint flash of agitation.

Thousands of years of the central dynasty, to step into this magnificent era.

The first step starts with North Korea!

Chapter 323 Few Consistent Purposes

"My lord, Dorgon has already captured Anzhou, the governor of North Korea, Nan Yixing, set himself on fire and died, and the army of Daishan has also broken Yishan Mountain. Ling Han, North Korea has lost consecutive battles..."

In the government office of Dengzhou, the night does not accept the proven information, and it is also reported on the basis of this military discussion.

The map hangs high in the hall, and Denglai Governor Lu Xiangsheng and the generals of the Denglai Navy stand in front of the map.

"If we continue to lose like this, in a few days, the army of slaves will probably approach the city of Pyongyang."

"North Korea is also muddy and can't support the wall. We also supported a batch of ordnance for them before, but it didn't work. It is estimated that they were seized by Jiannu."

"Dorgon is still a young boy, I remember, before in Monan, that boy ran very fast. At the time, Master Xu personally led people to chase him, but he couldn't catch up..."

"This time we have to teach Hou Jin a lesson. After fighting for so long, we haven't caught a few key people..."

"Catch Yuan Chonghuan or Daishan, at least one earl will have to run away, and when the time comes, you will have to call us uncle!"

Hahahaha...

All the generals in the hall, it was you talking to each other and yelling at each other, but even though the battle situation was rotten, the generals didn't show any fear at all, on the contrary, they all looked eager to try.

Since the establishment of the Denglai Navy, they have grown stronger in the war with Houjin, and they have no fear of Houjin Liao Town.

Only in war can there be meritorious deeds!

They are eager for war!

In their view, as long as they give an order, they will send troops to support, and they will surely save themselves from danger again just like the last Korean War.

What is missing now is only an order to send troops.

"Don't be too happy."

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly poured a basin of cold water.

"The group of wolves and ambitions in Monan Mongolia have already betrayed their promises. Shanhaiguan has lost a lot this time. We came here. Although there was no loss, we also dispatched one to Jiangnan. Moreover, Dongjiang Mao Wenlong just left. The big stall in Dongjiang hasn’t been smoothed out yet.”

"This battle is not so easy to fight!"

At this point, Lu Xiangsheng was about to say something more. At this time, outside the hall, several soldiers came in a hurry. One of them, carrying the command flag, was full of dust.

"Duke Qin's order is here!"

All the generals' eyes lit up immediately, and the messenger quickly walked into the hall, and then handed over the secret order to Lu Xiangsheng.

And the fiery gazes of all the generals who arrived immediately focused on the military order in Lu Xiangsheng's hand.

Feeling the hot eyes of the generals, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth. The reward had just passed, and the energy had obviously not dissipated. They all wanted to fight and make meritorious deeds, although it was a good thing.

But today's Denglai Navy can be said to be the only mobile force that can be used in Liaodong, so we must be cautious.

While thinking, Lu Xiangsheng opened the envelope. When he saw the order on the letter paper, Lu Xiangsheng was also taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly fixed on the seal of Duke Qin on the lower side of the letter paper.

Looking at this unbelievable order, if it weren't for the unquestionable Duke Qin's seal, he would even have thought he was hallucinating!

"Is this military order really issued by Duke Qin?"

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the messenger who hadn't left yet, and couldn't help asking.

"The subordinate personally took it out from Duke Qin's mansion, and rushed to come day and night, without any mistakes!"

The messenger immediately promised to speak up.

Hearing Lu Xiangsheng's words, all the generals in the hall, no matter how nervous they were, undoubtedly sensed the abnormal atmosphere, and all of them looked at Lu Xiangsheng quite suspiciously.

"Okay, I understand, you go down and rest first!"

Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand, his expression still a little dazed.

"My lord, what did the military order say, why does it look like this?"

Finally, a general couldn't help asking.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng came back to his senses, glanced at the corrupted North Korean situation on the map, and then handed the military order to the general who asked.

And the general who was still excited, after seeing the military order, his originally excited expression also suddenly froze, his face full of disbelief.

And with the circulation of this military order, there was a sudden silence, which was still eager to try. After a while, only the general couldn't help but say: "If we are just putting on a show, I am afraid that it will not be long before North Korea has to perished!"

"Why, Duke Qin's military orders, you want to disobey?"

Lu Xiangsheng frowned and asked.

"The last will not dare!"

These words made the general turn pale with fright, defying the military order, this is not just joking, if the hat is put on, it's over!

"Mr. Qin's military order has been issued, and I will just follow it."

"You go on and prepare. Tomorrow's expedition, put on a stance, let the North Korean soldiers and civilians know that Daming is powerless, not just sitting idly by!"

When the military order was issued, all the generals responded immediately, whether they wanted it or not, after the military order was issued, they had to be united and consistent, and there was no other choice!

At this time, at the Dengzhou Wharf, more than a hundred guards in brocade clothes were already disguised and boarded a merchant ship. Their destination seemed to be the precarious North Korea under the vanguard of Houjinliao Town!

As for Jin Yiwei's detailed operation network in North Korea, after the order from the capital arrived, it also started to operate, and its goal seemed to be the current North Korean royal family.

This country, which treats Daming like a father, would never have imagined that the sovereign father of Daming, who has always been gracious to it and rescued it from danger many times, has now quietly opened his fangs to it.

Just like the Houjin Liaozhen Bingfeng who broke through the North Korean land today, although the means are different, the purpose is rarely the same.

That is, the destruction of North Korea.

Not a demise in name, but a total demise in fact.

History has long been bifurcated. In history, Hou Jin could not care about the North Korea behind it, and at most let it surrender. That is because what Hou Jin looked at was the vast Central Plains.

But now, the existence of Qin Guogong is like a towering mountain, suppressing Houjin, shattering Houjin's dreams time and time again.

In the Ming Dynasty, this fat piece of meat could not be eaten, but in North Korea, no matter how small the mosquito was, it was still meat, and Houjin had no choice.

In the capital, the North Korean envoys who were like ants on a hot pot, after a court meeting in the Ming Dynasty, heard Qin Gong's promise that they would send troops to support North Korea, and their original panic disappeared suddenly.

The princes of the Manchu Dynasty obviously didn't care too much about this. North Korea was invaded by Houjin Liao Town. In their view, sending troops to support it was also a matter of course.

After all, North Korea was also a part of Duke Qin’s strategic plan for Houjin. Moreover, even if there was no such strategic plan, no matter how you look at it, Houjin cannot be allowed to annex North Korea, gain North Korea’s manpower and material resources, and have a breathing space opportunity.

Everything is expected and within reason.

As for whether it will be defeated...

It seems that since the success of Duke Qin, the courtiers have never worried about wars.

Due to such various factors, the resurgent chaos in Liaodong did not cause the slightest fluctuation in the center of the capital. Even if the North Korean envoy hadn't come to the palace to meet, few ministers would have paid attention to this matter.

Today, the courtiers are all focusing on Duke Qin. Everyone knows that Duke Qin, who started this reform with one hand and suppressed the internal and external troubles brought about by the reform with one hand, will definitely continue this reform.

This is the highlight of the Great Ming Center.

Chapter 324 reform strategy.

The major policy of reform is already an established policy. In fact, even when the power of the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil, the promotion of reform never stopped.

However, after the Shaanxi Rebellion was put down, the first south and then the north also became the north and the south, and even completely reversed the first north and then the south!

Now that Li Xiu has returned to Beijing, the reorganization and restructuring of the Ming military system is naturally in full swing.

In fact, looking at the past dynasties, it is difficult to find a country whose military system can be as chaotic and corrupt as Ming Dynasty.

Throughout the dynasties, the military service system is nothing more than the guard system or the government soldier system and the recruiting system. Most of them choose one path. If the two coexist, they should be used in combination. At the same time, the ratio of the guard system to the recruiting system should be based on the military and economic situation. and make reasonable adjustments to the structure.

But this was not the case in the Ming Dynasty. During the Jiajing period, when recruiting soldiers accounted for more than two-thirds of the army's personnel, there was still no general adjustment to the Weisuo system.

Without reducing military households and military farms, and without reforming the guards, the imperial court repeatedly increased recruitment to deal with the increasingly frequent peasant uprisings and foreign invasions. Hemintian taxes are used to pay for recruiting soldiers.

In this way, a vicious circle is naturally formed.

The guards are unusable, recruit soldiers, lack of money, increase taxes, peasant uprising, recruit soldiers, lack of money, and increase taxes...

There is no doubt that if this vicious circle becomes successful, it must be on the road to national subjugation.

What Li Xiu is going to do now is naturally impossible to abolish the Weisuo system all at once, and it is impossible to do this in a short period of time.

What can be done is to grasp the balance between guards and recruits, and adjust a healthy military ecology.

Li Xiu never expected that Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang said that he could raise millions of troops without spending a grain of rice in the world.

The reason for the formation of the Weisuo system is also the integration of soldiers and farmers, which solved the problem of insufficient productivity during the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.

As the saying goes, as much as you pay, you can get as much as you give. There is always a direct ratio between giving and receiving, and he always thinks so.

The guard system, the integration of military and civilians, in other words, is a system of military reclamation.

Once any army is involved in other sidelines that are not part of war, it will inevitably be difficult to form effective combat power.

It's like, how can you still have the time and energy to practice warfare after a whole day? What's more, long-term military settlements will inevitably bring about lax discipline. It's all about form and superficiality, so let alone combat power.

In this way, although the guard system is retained, in Li Xiu's plan, it is more regarded as a self-sufficient garrison force, a reserve force, and it is just to improve the supervision measures as much as possible to improve the social status of soldiers , to ensure that the combat effectiveness is not lost too quickly.

After all, in any era, a professional army is extremely costly.

The guard system can be seen as a combination of the reclamation corps, the militia system, and the armed police in later generations. It serves as a supplement to the professional army and reduces the pressure on the professional army.

The recruitment is the main battle force, a lean and strong recruit main battle force reserved within the spare financial resources, trained by the martial arts academy to improve the quality of Ming soldiers, and if the scale of the war expands, soldiers from various guards can also be quickly dispatched. The recruited soldiers will be the backbone, and the guards will be the branches to complete the short-term expansion.

Of course, retaining the guard system is also a helpless move limited by national strength. After all, with the vast territory of Ming Dynasty, if the guard system is suddenly eliminated, then, let alone how to arrange the millions of military households, it is the pressure of national defense. It must be brought about by a surge in military investment.

Even if the fiscal and taxation reform is completed in the future, it will inevitably be a huge burden on Daming's finances.

What's more, in the future of Ming Dynasty, the center of gravity will also gradually shift to the sea, and establish a powerful navy to expand the territory.

The consumption of financial resources must be a huge hole.

Of course, if in the future the Ming Dynasty exploits the oceans, plunders overseas wealth, and its national strength rises dramatically, it will be fine to establish a complete national defense system and the guard system will gradually withdraw from the stage of history.

Before this point is achieved in the future, the corrupt guard system, after being repaired and perfected, must continue to play its historical role and continue to shine for the Ming Dynasty.

Under such circumstances, the basic board of the guard must be preserved, and the focus of reform is also above the guard.

As for the recruits, or battalions, that exist in various parts of Ming Dynasty today, they are naturally reformed and trained to survive the fittest.

Obviously, how to arrange pensions for the eliminated generals is also a big problem.

Therefore, even if it is just the reform of the military system, it has already involved all aspects of this country. What is needed is not only Li Xiu, Duke of Qin, but the cooperation of the entire court center and even the entire ruling class of Ming Dynasty. .

Fortunately, now that Ming's internal and external troubles are temporarily suppressed, Li Xiu also has enough time and energy to focus on this aspect.

Of course, reforms are in full swing, and wars have never stopped.

The civil unrest and mutiny in northern Xinjiang are not limited to Shaanxi. The reason why Shaanxi is settled and the world is safe is because Shaanxi is the most serious and the most noisy.

In Sichuan, Shandong and other northern provinces, civil unrest and mutiny are still spreading, large or small, but now the victory is glorious, and everything is temporarily covered under this glory.

As the leader of everything, Li Xiu will naturally not be fooled by this so-called brilliance.
