Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

"Brother Emperor, am I too incompetent?"

Zhu Youxiao, who was staring at the map and thinking, frowned and turned around when he heard Zhu Youjian's low voice, and saw frustration in Zhu Youjian's eyebrows.

Obviously, the conversation just now involving military affairs had a big impact on Zhu Youjian.

"Why does the emperor think so?"

Zhu Youxiao looked calm, looked at Zhu Youjian and said.

"The country is facing such difficulties, and the emperor is also solving various long-standing shortcomings."

Zhu Youjian lowered his head and said with a low voice: "My brother has come to Qianqing Palace to study. The emperor often teaches me and even tells me many things. But when it comes to some important matters, my brother The idea is..."

"No one is born with this."

Zhu Youxiao smiled, stepped forward and patted Zhu Youjian on the shoulder, "No matter what happens, don't rush to deny yourself in your heart. Just because the emperor can't help me solve my problems now, doesn't mean that he can't help me solve my problems in the future."

"Everyone is immature sometimes, even me, but I am different from the emperor's brother. None of us can make mistakes. Do you know why?"

Zhu Youjian raised his head. Although he didn't ask, the expression he showed was that he wanted to know why.

"When others make mistakes, there may be room for mediation, and the impact may even be very small, but I am different!"

Zhu Youxiao suppressed his smile and said resolutely: "I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The heavy burden passed down by my ancestors will always be carried on my shoulders. If I make a mistake, no matter how small it is, It will also be magnified infinitely, and if it is not saved in time, it will affect the whole world!"

"In visible and invisible places, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at me. As long as I make a mistake, they will continue to bite me."

"In the same way, the same goes for you, my dear brother, because you are my biological brother, and more importantly, my great Mingxin King. I let you live in the Forbidden City because I don't want you to experience this prematurely. Human hearts..."

When talking about this, Zhu Youxiao showed a bit of sadness.

Zhu Youxiao always kept in mind the idea that no mistakes could be made.

Perhaps Zhu Youjian's character is flawed, but his identity is destined to keep him by his side and try to open his eyes so that he can see more and experience more. This is not just for overseas migration. The vassal vassal was for the purpose of consolidating the imperial power!

In the same way, the reason why the unborn Zhu Cijiong was handed over to Zhang Yan to raise after he was born was because Zhu Youxiao wanted Zhu Cijiong to survive!

The emperor's heirs are few, or even the emperor's heirs cannot grow up. This means that the foundation is not solid, which will lead some people to have thoughts that they should not think.

Not to mention that what Zhu Youxiao is doing now has touched the interests of many people. A disobedient emperor is a threat to many people.

Even though the palace city and the imperial city are now completely under the control of the Royal Forbidden Army, even though the inner court has been completely purged, you still have to be vigilant!

"Brother Emperor, you and Yuan Keli are discussing the defense within the pass, and even want to set up a special military aircraft department, including all the things you have done before. Do you want to launch an offensive against Jianlu?"

While Zhu Youxiao was thinking, Zhu Youjian hesitated for a moment, but still said what he was thinking.

"Yes."

Zhu Youxiao raised his sword eyebrows, looked at the map in front of him, and said in a low tone: "The battle with Jianlu must be fought, and it must be won. Otherwise, it will be too difficult for me to solve the long-standing shortcomings and cancers of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"But have you ever thought about it, Brother Huang?"

Zhu Youjian stepped forward and said: "If you launch this war, how will the money and food be settled during the war? What do the DPRK and China think about this matter? If they object, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight this war. "

"So I have to plan ahead."

Zhu Youxiao stood with his hands behind his back, "I have been making preparations since I pardoned Xiong Tingbi and took office as the assistant manager of the military affairs of the capital, and I have given more thought to it."

"If the centrally controlled army really wants to be effective on the battlefield, drills alone are not enough. The key is to make them see blood before the battle. Otherwise, no matter how well they drill, they will collapse when they encounter a strong enemy on the battlefield. If you lose, there is absolutely no other possibility except defeat."

At this moment, Zhu Youjian remembered something.

Use suppression to promote change!

Huang Degong, who was specially promoted by his imperial brother, now led his soldiers, and even the tomb guards stationed in Tianshou Mountain, to launch an encirclement and suppression of the large and small bandits in the northern Zhili territory.

Perhaps these bandit forces cannot compare with the brave and capable Jianlu Eight Banners, but if they frequently participate in encirclement and suppression campaigns and continuously kill the perpetrators during this period, they are ultimately better than the new recruits who have never seen blood.

"Go and familiarize me with all the important passes and dangerous places along the way to Beizhili. In addition, starting from the Battle of Saarhu, the Ming Dynasty experienced many wars in Liaodong, and also familiarized me with the corresponding memorials and archives."

While Zhu Youjian was thinking about it, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and said: "I don't expect you to be proficient in military affairs and know how to march and fight, but at least you must know what fighting is like, and what preparations are needed after a battle is won. From now on, the courses you study in Qianqing Palace will include military affairs, and I will test you regularly."

"My brother obeys the order."

Zhu Youjian immediately bowed and bowed.

Zhu Youxiao didn't have high hopes for cultivating Zhu Youjian's military talents, but he still needed to understand what he should know. At least, don't be like most civilian officials who clearly don't understand military affairs but just give random orders and interfere!

The Ming Dynasty was harmed by these mediocre people in the past.

They are not even as good as Zhao Kuo!

At least Zhao Kuo was very good at talking about military affairs on paper, which means that Zhao Kuo's military quality was very strong, but it was not well combined with practice.

Zhu Youxiao's idea of ​​​​saving Daming is very clear.

Civil servants do what civil servants do.

A general does what a general does.

Clarify the overall direction of both civil and military affairs. No matter what problems we encounter in the future, we will punish whoever needs to be punished, gradually eliminate mediocrity and waste, and promote capable talents to the top!

"I don't know how far Huang Degong and the others have advanced in suppressing bandits in Beizhili." Looking at Zhu Youjian's leaving back, Zhu Youxiao murmured to himself.

"Now that all the generals and generals are basically in place, the only thing we need to focus on is a strong army that can fight. Without a reliable army to support us, even if we go to Liaodong, the subsequent battle will not be easy."

It was clear that he wanted to promote the Liao strategy, but as time went by, Zhu Youxiao found that there were too many problems to solve. Even if the military adjustment has been carried out until now, it has basically been implemented, but there are still problems involved with it. There are too many things to solve, such as the supply of grain and grass, the replacement of military supplies, etc. If these cannot be solved effectively, then it will be difficult to fight the war with Jianlu! !
