Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

"What to beat with?"

When Yuan Keli hesitated, Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhu Youjian with sharp eyes and asked: "If all the elites stationed in the key passes in the pass are removed, who should guard the key points on the border?"

Zhu Youjian: "..."

Seeing his royal brother like this, Zhu Youjian's mind went blank.

"Answer me!"

Zhu Youxiao continued.

"Soldiers can be drawn from the guards in Northern Zhili, or elites can be selected from the Beijing camp." Zhu Youjian saw this, and after hesitating for a long time, he said what he was thinking.

Zhu Youxiao frowned and said: "Then have you ever thought about whether the Dongtumote, Karaqin, Neikalkha and other tribes adjacent to the northern Zhili border will take the opportunity to go south when our army leaves the border?"

"They are all paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty, why would they dare to do this?"

Zhu Youjian's confidence was somewhat lacking.

"You don't dare to pay tribute?"

Zhu Youxiao sneered and said: "Brother Emperor, you view the problem too simply. From our dynasty's disastrous defeat in the Battle of Sarhu, to the successive fall of Liaozuo, Liaonan and other places, our dynasty's prestige in the grasslands has declined. They were trampled on the ground severely, and the prerequisite for asking them to pay tribute is that my Ming Dynasty is strong enough!!"

When talking about this, Zhu Youxiao's eyes turned cold and stern.

The reason why he wanted to formulate a strategy for the Liao Dynasty and determined to personally conquer the Liao Dynasty was that what he wanted to solve was not just the establishment of the captives. He also wanted to solve the long-standing shortcomings before the Liao Dynasty and even raise the Ming power again. In this way, we can take the initiative in the future, otherwise we will be dragged to death and exhausted.

Hit a punch, lest a hundred punches come!

Zhu Youxiao certainly knew that there were many risks in the Liao strategy. If any part of it went wrong, the consequences would be extremely serious.

But he has no choice!

The battle with Jianlu must be fought.

And this battle must be won.

The most critical point is that this victory must be led by him, the Ming Emperor.

It was precisely because of this that Zhu Youxiao flashed his knife in the center. He didn't have so much time to waste.

"His Royal Highness King Xin, you have to understand something."

Seeing that Zhu Youjian was in a low mood, Yuan Keli stepped forward and said: "Our army can choose to go out and besiege Jianlu, but there will be more issues to consider. In addition to what His Majesty just mentioned, there are also military supplies for the army and military reports. Urgent delivery, etc., these must be solved.”

"But when leaving the pass from various places within the pass, the terrain along the way is steep and difficult, and it is even a desperate situation in many places. If anything goes wrong during this period, the morale of all the troops leaving the pass will be greatly reduced, and mutiny will occur. If you close all the ministries, the entire army may be annihilated.”

War is not a child's play, there are too many things involved in it, and whether a person knows how to fight can be seen through some of the views he tells.

Even though Yuan Keli was a civil servant, he knew a lot about military strategy.

From now on, we must prevent civil servants who do not understand military strategy from interfering in major military affairs. Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty's generals and athletes will be tricked to death.

After listening to what Yuan Keli said, Zhu Youxiao secretly made up his mind. He only knew a little bit about marching and fighting. Maybe the strategy he proposed was very advanced and novel, but when it came to specific tactical arrangements, then It requires professionals.

Zhu Youxiao has always believed that professional matters should be handled by professionals. As long as you give them absolute trust and support, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

"Yuan Qing, before the end of this year, can the Yichuan restructuring involving Northern Zhili, Shandong, Liaodong and other places be implemented?"

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao looked at Yuan Keli and said: "The more I know about military affairs, the more I feel the importance of Yi Chuan, especially when it comes to urgent military information. If anything goes wrong during this period, That would have a huge impact on the court.”

"Your Majesty, do your best."

Different from when he first took office, the more Yuan Keli found out, the more uneasy he felt, because he found that there were too many problems hidden in Yichuan, and if possible, he would have to leave Beijing and travel to various places to promote reforms.

But if this happens, it will be difficult for him to take care of other matters of the Ministry of War.

Especially when it comes to the implementation of the Liao strategy, he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to help the emperor effectively promote it.

"Will the Qing family leave Beijing in the future?"

Zhu Youxiao saw Yuan Keli's concerns.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I will have to leave the capital for a long time."

Yuan Keli bowed and bowed.

"Then we'll do what the Qing family wants."

Zhu Youxiao said without thinking: "No matter what is involved in the Yi Chuan restructuring, the Qing family will just handle it, but before leaving Beijing, the Ministry of War must make arrangements."

"The minister obeys the order."

Yuan Keli bowed again.

It is not that Zhu Youxiao has not thought about Yuan Keli's departure from Beijing. After all, Yi Chuan has had many internal flaws and cancers since its spread. This is not just about shouting a few slogans in the center and letting the people below do what they say. When it comes to reform, nothing is bloodless.

When interests are involved, there will be confrontation!

"In view of the changeable situation in the current court, I have an idea. I wonder what the Qing family thinks?" While Yuan Keli was thinking about it, Zhu Youxiao turned and walked towards the imperial case, picked up a document and handed it to the follower. Yuan Ke stood in front of him.

"Military aircraft?"

When Yuan Keli took the document, he saw what was written on the cover and read it subconsciously, with some doubts on his brows.

"Yes."

Zhu Youxiao lifted up his robe sleeves and said: "I plan to set up a special military aircraft office to take charge of the important tasks of counterinsurgency and suppressing military aircraft. The Ministry of War currently has too many things to sort out, which has tied up a lot of the energy of the Qing family."

"But the important matters involving our military aircraft must be dealt with urgently. Otherwise, if the war situation changes, it will have a great impact on the imperial court."

Listening to what the emperor said, Yuan Keli flipped through the documents in his hand, but the more he looked at him, the more frightened he became. The power of this military aircraft department is not small!

"Your Majesty, you should think twice."

Yuan Keli suppressed his surprise, raised his hands and bowed: "Once this matter spreads in the court, I am afraid it will cause a big disturbance and will be opposed by many courtiers."

For Yuan Keli, the establishment of the Military Aircraft Department may usurp some of the powers of the Ministry of War, but his first consideration is not these, but the court situation.

The current situation in the court is in such chaos, but if it continues to be in chaos, it will cause great losses to the court.

"They object, is it useful?"

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, "Relying on those mediocre people who are in their positions and not seeking their duties, when can the problems faced by the court be solved one by one?"

"There was a Jianlu rebellion in Liaodong, a chieftain rebellion in the southwest, and there were some civil unrest during this period. If I continue to hold court meetings for everything as before, the delay will be long."

Yuan Keli was silent.

What the Emperor said is all true. But if military matters are important, a court meeting will inevitably be held, and the ministers participating in the court meeting all have different ideas. It is normal for them to quarrel, but this is the case. If urgent tasks are delayed for one day, the impact on the front line will be different.

"Let's not talk about the impact that the special establishment of the Military Aircraft Department will have on the court." Zhu Youxiao picked up a list and handed it to Yuan Keli. He said with a serious expression: "The Qing family will first take a look at the list I drafted. Is it feasible for them to go to the aircraft office and help me solve the important military aircraft tasks?"

Zhu Youxiao respected Yuan Keli.

After all, this person is very talented.

If he wanted to promote the strategy against Liao, he could not do without Yuan Keli's assistance. Zhu Youxiao did not want this matter to cause any knot in the heart of this pillar who was loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

"Ministers of the Military Aircraft Department Wang Zaijin, Liu Hongxun, Li Banghua, Wang Qia, and Xiong Wencan." After seeing the list, Yuan Keli subconsciously said: "Counsellors of the Military Aircraft Department Chen Xinjia, Yang Wenyue, Ding Qirui, Yang Sichang..."

Yuan Keli is familiar with some of the people on this list.

That is, when he saw this list, Yuan Keli suddenly felt that the emperor's special military aircraft department was not necessarily a bad thing. After all, many of the above-mentioned people are proficient in military strategy. The key is that many of them have a high reputation in officialdom. ah! !

"What do the Qing family think?"

Zhu Youxiao stood with his hands behind his hands, looked at Yuan Keli and asked.

"Your Majesty, I think it is feasible."

Yuan Keli's eyes were determined, and he nodded heavily and said: "With their assistance to Your Majesty, in the future, when important military matters are involved, the imperial court will be able to make clear arrangements as soon as possible to avoid changes in the frontline battle situation."

"With the words of the Qing family, I feel relieved."

Zhu Youxiao showed a smile and said: "In this way, our monarchs and ministers will each take charge of their own business. I will implement all the plans one by one. The Qing family will sit in the Ministry of War and clarify all the previously agreed matters as soon as possible. I believe that there will be help from the Qing family to advise me. If the government declines, it will be swept away!!"
