Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

"The guilty minister dares to ask for remonstrance!"

Xiong Tingbi's eyes were firm and his heart was filled with anger. He knelt down on the ground and bowed to the emperor. "If your majesty still trusts the guilty minister, then the guilty minister is willing to perform meritorious service. The corruption of the Liao Dynasty is a disaster for the country. The Ming Dynasty cannot afford to delay it." Well, if we continue to stalemate with Jianlu like this, the country will be dragged down!!"

"Ha ha!!"

Hearing what Xiong Tingbi said, Zhu Youxiao laughed.

The truth may be hard to hear, but it is the truth.

If we can't find a way to break the situation in Liaodong and extract Ming Dynasty from the vortex of war as soon as possible, then Ming Dynasty will be dragged down abruptly!

"According to your wishes, I want to depose Sun Chengzong's governor of Liaodong and let you take over the position?" Zhu Youxiao stood up slowly and looked down at Xiong Tingbi and said.

"No!"

Xiong Tingbi heard this but said: "It is a taboo for military strategists to change commanders before the battle. What's more, Sun Chengzong started to build the Guanning defense line several years before he left to control Liao Dynasty. The position of governor of Liaodong must not be changed lightly."

"If we want to get rid of the predicament in Liaodong, the Ningqian defense line must be stable, so that the important areas in Gyeonggi can be stable. Without this foundation, it is empty talk."

"If Your Majesty still trusts the guilty minister, the guilty minister is willing to take over the position of governor of Denglai with his body, try to strengthen the naval divisions of the two towns of Denglai, support the troops of Dongjiang Town, and if the maritime power can be consolidated, they can cooperate with Ninglai The former ministries launched an offensive against Jianlu, and then weakened Jianlu’s power.”

"Can you bear to ask Xiong Tingbi to be a kid for others?"

Zhu Youxiao smiled half-heartedly, looked at Xiong Tingbi and said, "Don't think about the position of governor of Denglai anymore."

It seems that there is no escape from death.

When Xiong Tingbi heard this, the hope that arose in his heart was shattered in an instant.

Originally he thought he could get out of prison by discussing Liao affairs, but now it seems that he had overthought everything.

The emperor never wanted to let him go.

Who wants to die if he can live?

"I plan to ask you to assist in the military affairs of the capital."

Under such a situation, Xiong Tingbi, who was heartbroken, suddenly heard what the emperor said and raised his head in disbelief. Xiong Tingbi suspected that he had heard wrongly.

"What? After several years in prison, you have lost all your courage?"

Seeing Xiong Tingbi like this, Zhu Youxiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

"No, no."

Xiong Tingbi stuttered a little.

The position of co-managing the military affairs of the Beijing camp was an errand that he never dared to think of. As the name suggests, this position was to assist in the training of the Beijing camp.

The three major battalions that guard the capital city and the capital are nominally under the military and political jurisdiction of the admiral. Generally, the person who holds this position is a distinguished person in the capital. If this position was placed in the early Ming Dynasty, it would definitely be a very prominent and important position, not the emperor's. Trustworthy ministers cannot be obtained.

However, after the Tumubao Incident, the Ming Dynasty nobles suffered heavy losses, and their voice in the government continued to be reduced. Even the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army was turned into an empty shell. All powers related to the military were relegated to the Ministry of War, which is controlled by civilian officials. in hand.

For the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, they did not allow other groups to have too much say in the government, so they gradually built a new system through hard work.

For example, the Jingying camp that guards the capital is nominally led by the Admiral Jingying Rongzheng, but the actual commander is the Assistant Manager Jingying Rongzheng, who is usually concurrently held by the Minister of War, and of course is also led by important ministers in the court. It is also called Rongzheng. Shangshu.

Therefore, it is not easy to assist in the military affairs of the capital!

"It's good that you're not scared to death. I want to use your knife now to properly organize the lower camp in Beijing."

Under Xiong Tingbi's gaze, Zhu Youxiao knelt down and said with sharp eyes: "I sent you to the Heavenly Prison earlier just to suppress your temper, but what did you do when you entered the Heavenly Prison? Could it be that I wanted you to suppress your temper? Do you really think I don’t know?”

"The sinner..."

Xiong Tingbi was speechless for a moment.

"I don't want to talk about the past anymore."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and interrupted: "Whether it is the loss of the Liaozuo and Liaonan guards, or the loss of the Liaoxi guards, you, Xiong Tingbi, have an unshirkable responsibility.

Don't think I have wronged you!

As long as you guard the Liaozuo front line, you can control your fiery temper, don't offend so many people, don't say anything that the Liao people can't use, and think about submitting secret reports to me, then there won't be so many people. They colluded openly and secretly to impeach you, causing Yuan Yingtai, a mediocre person, to take over as the Liaodong manager.

Whenever the imperial court appoints you again, if you can control your fiery temper and don't get angry with Wang Huazhen, a loser, which will delay the opportunity of fighting and allow Jianlu to take advantage, then the Liaoxi guards will not be able to lose it. "

Xiong Tingbi lowered his head.

It is not true at all to say that the Donglin Party harmed the country and the people. If nothing else, it is said that they interfered with the Liao affairs. One Yuan Yingtai and one Wang Huazhen caused heavy losses to the Ming Dynasty!

The despicable problems of messing around and giving random orders are not only shared by the Donglin Party members, but also among the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty!

What Zhu Youxiao has to do now is to actually control part of the military power and not let the civil servants get involved, so that he can do what he wants to do.

"Do you think you are the only one in the world who can see clearly?"

Zhu Youxiao continued: "Don't I know that there are signs of general influence in Liao? Don't I know that there are abnormal contacts between the DPRK and Liao? Why did I know this before but didn't take action to rectify it?"

Because of the Donglin Party.

Xiong Tingbi sighed in his heart. Even though he didn't want to admit it, the Donglin Party's power to incite certain things was really too strong.

"Originally I wanted to wait, but now I don't want to wait anymore!"

Zhu Youxiao said in a sonorous tone: "What you just said, I have thought about it before. If we want to solve the Jianlu rebellion and make Liao land return to the Ming Dynasty, it is not enough to go all the way to Ningqian. The Ming Dynasty must achieve coordination between sea and land. Fight in order to continuously reduce the war potential of the rebels."

"However, for this strategy against Liao, it is not enough to rely on Liaoqian, Tianjin, Denglai and other places alone. The center must have the attitude and actions of the center."

"I want to get rid of the cancer of Liaodong Generals, but if I want to get rid of them, I must have enough confidence, and this confidence is Jingying!!"

When discussing the strategy against Liao with Xiong Tingbi, Zhu Youxiao had already thought about how to deal with Jianlu in his mind. In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, although Jianlu was very strong, it was not so strong that he could not face it head-on.

It depends on how to solve it.

The Ming Dynasty is not a strong general who failed to fight. Although many were tricked to death before, God bless the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty's army, there are still many generals who can fight.

As long as he can manage to suppress the civil servants, as long as he can solve the problem of money and food supply, Zhu Youxiao will have a way to solve the pre-Liao predicament and gradually reverse the situation!

"What does Your Majesty want me to do?"

Xiong Tingbi calmed down his mind, faced Zhu Youxiao's gaze, and said with a sonorous tone.

"I want you to take over the post of Assistant Manager of the Military and Political Affairs of the Beijing Camp. I will give you the Royal Order Flag. I will give you one month to implement the reduction of soldiers and pay in the Beijing Camp, promote useful talents, and put an end to those who eat empty pay and drink the soldiers' blood. Bad government will bring out all the rats and bugs."

Zhu Youxiao's eyes were firm and he said: "I don't care how many people you want to kill during the rectification of the Beijing camp, but there is one thing that cannot cause chaos in the capital and the capital, and there cannot be mutiny in the three major camps. If you dare to make any mistakes in this matter, then I will I want to punish you because this proves that I have misjudged the person."

Xiong Tingbi's Adam's apple moved up and down.

This pressure is not great.

In one month, there are so many things to be done to organize the three major battalions. If there is any omission during this period, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Of course I also know that this is difficult, so I will provide you with a list."

Zhu Youxiao continued: "Reorganizing the capital camp is just the beginning. When all the waste is cleared out of the capital camp, the next thing to do is to recruit people who dare to fight to join the army!"

"The Beijing Camp should not be a ragtag group of people who look down on others but have no use for it. The Beijing Camp should be a strong army that dares to fight. This responsibility is not light. Do you, Xiong Tingbi, dare to take it?"

Organizing the capital camp is an offending job, and not everyone has the courage to take it on.

"Does your Majesty trust me?"

Xiong Tingbi pondered for a moment, looked at Zhu Youxiao and asked.

"If you don't trust me, will I see you?"

Zhu Youxiao said with a half-smile.

"Then I dare...to make some requests to His Majesty."

Xiong Tingbi bowed and bowed.

"Say!"

Zhu You's speech is concise and concise.

Since he has decided to re-appoint Xiong Tingbi, Zhu Youxiao will not be suspicious of people without using them. Under this situation, there is not much time to waste.

"I sincerely request your Majesty to withdraw the internal officials stationed in the capital to the palace!" Xiong Tingbi's heart beat rapidly, but he still said what he was thinking: "I..."

"Yes."

However, Zhu Youxiao interrupted: "Even if you don't mention this, I will still do it. If Beijing Camp wants to make a complete change, there is only one voice."

Ok?

Xiong Tingbi was stunned when he heard this. He did not expect that the emperor would be so decisive. After all, the eunuchs of the inner court were stationed in the capital camp more for checks and balances and supervision. But how could Xiong Tingbi know that Zhu Youxiao would gradually improve the status of military commanders and clarify the division of civil and military affairs in the future? The concept of governance.

It is sheer nonsense to rely on a group of eunuchs and eunuchs who do not understand military affairs to protect the so-called military power. Instead of reusing eunuchs, it is better to remove loyal and reliable generals, try to improve their status, and innovate and improve the military system of the Ming Dynasty. , as long as these problems can be solved, the hidden dangers of military commanders relying on themselves or separatism can be effectively eliminated.

Eunuchs and eunuchs can be used, but it depends on where they are used.

Ming Dynasty can't stand any trouble.

"There is one more thing. I would like to ask your Majesty to allocate a military salary."

Xiong Tingbi calmed down and bowed again and said: "If you want to rectify the capital camp, you must cut the knot with a sharp knife. This matter must not be delayed. If you delay it, there will be risks. With this direct allocation of military pay, I dare to ask you Your Majesty has issued a military order. If there is a mutiny in the capital camp, which may lead to instability in the capital and the capital, I am willing to die to apologize!"

"Okay, then I will allocate military pay to you, directly from the internal funds. When the time comes, I will send someone to escort and disburse it."

Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly and said, "If you have any other requests, just tell them."

"Gone."

Xiong Tingbi shook his head.

"In that case, then Xiong Qing will take up his post immediately."

Zhu Youxiao stood up and said, "I will send Wei Zhongxian to go with you. I will issue the imperial edict and take office. I will hand over the capital camp to the Qing family. When it comes to rectification, everything will be decided by the Qing family. I will be in Qianqing Palace. Good news."
