Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

"Brother Imperial, are you really not going to intervene in the mutiny and civil unrest in Lulong, Qian'an and other places?" In a courtyard where the imperial commander was stationed, Zhu Youjian followed Zhu Youxiao, frowning slightly.

"My brother did not question Zhou Yuji's intention. If Sun Zushou, the chief military officer of Jizhou Town, wants to lead the troops to guard Zunhua City, then Zhou Yuji and the others alone are responsible for the suppression. There is no guarantee that there will be mistakes. After all, they are responsible for the suppression. Our understanding of Lulong, Qian'an and other places is limited to the urgent deliveries from various places and what Sun Zushou told us."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhu Yujian, who was at the side, followed closely and said: "Although I have never commanded an army or fought in a war, I also know that if you want to fight every battle well, you must know the topography and landforms of the place you pass and what the people's mood is like under your rule. That’s all something you need to understand, otherwise you won’t be able to fight this battle at all.”

"Whether it's Zhou Yuji's group of generals or Shen Tingyang's group of study ministers, they still know too little about the situation in Lulong, Qian'an and other places. If there is a place they are not familiar with, if the gang of traitors incited the mutiny, We happen to be ambushing soldiers and horses in a dangerous place, I'm afraid..."

"You're probably going to get hit hard, right?"

Zhu Youxiao stopped, looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "Don't I know this? I know exactly that, so I asked Zhou Yuji and the others, together with Shen Tingyang and the others, to summarize the current situation in Lulong, Qian'an and other places. , how to fight this battle, we must first make the expectations clear. "

"Like you, I have never unified an army and have never fought a war. So if I intervene directly, Zhou Yuji and Shen Tingyang will inevitably give up their opinions, just because of what I said, and thus abandon what they hold on to. That’s why I brought them together.”

"Another one, Sun Zushou cannot leave Zunhua, he needs to guard Xixie 4th Road under the jurisdiction of Jizhou Town, but don't forget that Sun Zushou is familiar with and understands Lulong, Qian'an and other places. "

"So I asked him to participate in it. As for this large-scale counter-insurgency war, I definitely have a favorite candidate, but I can't mention it yet. I have to wait until he comes to Zunhua. "

besides?

Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian looked at each other after hearing this, with expressions of astonishment on their faces. They really did not expect that after Zhou Yuji commanded the Four Guards Camp, Yongwei Camp, and Warriors Camp arrived in Zunhua, their royal brother/ The emperor actually arranged for someone else to come to Zunhua.

"Brother Emperor, are there still troops coming to Zunhua?"

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian calmed down and looked at his royal brother and said, "If this is really the case, how should the food and salary supply of these armies be solved?"

"There is no army, only one person comes to Zunhua."

Zhu Youxiao stood with his hands behind his hands and said with a slightly sad expression: "It is precisely because of the food and salary supply for the counter-rebellion army that I summoned the Four Guards Battalion, the Yongwei Battalion, and the Warriors Battalion to rush to Zunhua urgently. Otherwise, I would definitely We will call in more troops to counter the rebellion this time. It is said to be a counter-insurgency, but it is actually a deterrent, and more importantly, a tempering!"

"The income from the previous confiscation of homes in Sanhe, Jizhou and other places, as well as the income from the confiscation of homes this time in Zunhua, the remaining food and salary are enough to support the Siwei Camp, Yongwei Camp, and Warrior Camp in the early stages of countering the rebellion. As long as they can follow up, Suppress the mutiny and civil unrest, and arrest all the young people who instigated this farce. The proceeds from the seizures in their names will be enough to provide food and salary for the above armies. "

A person?

When Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian heard this, they were even more shocked. What kind of people could be worth thousands of troops?

Who is this person?

Zhu Youxiao could see the surprise and suspicion of the two, but he had no intention of telling them who the person he was waiting for was.

It is said that a thousand armies are easy to get but a general is hard to find. To be honest, Zhu Youxiao did not panic at all when mutinies and civil unrest occurred in Lulong, Qian'an and other places, because he had too many trump cards in his planning.

Even for the above chaos, Zhu Youxiao still hopes to see it. Although such a farce will inevitably affect many people and even lead to tragic deaths, for the entire Ming Dynasty, especially for his emperor Personally speaking, Zhu Youxiao needed such a turmoil. Before the war in Liaodong started, he would first hone a group of troops and let a group of people come from behind the scenes to the stage!

Zhu Youxiao knew that Zhou Yuji and the others had abilities, which had been confirmed in historical materials, but their abilities and fame had not yet been revealed.

Ability is part of it.

Performance is part of it.

If you have ability but can't show it, then who will really value you?

In such a complex and ever-changing world, it is precisely because nothing is static, so we must work hard to learn to adapt to this world, otherwise no matter how visionary and capable we are, we will eventually be eliminated by the world! !

"I hope that if this counter-insurgency war continues, some of the deadlock can be broken."

Under the gaze of the two men, Zhu Youxiao was a little emotional, "The prerequisite for Ming Dynasty to make changes is to realize the separation of civil and military affairs. Civilians will take care of what civilians should take care of, and military generals will take care of what military generals should take care of." , Wen Guo is inferior to military officials, and it is not necessary to be civilized or military superior. Only the combination of civilized and military forces is the foundation for ruling the world at one time! "

This……

Zhu Youjian was a little frightened when he heard this. He never thought that his royal brother would have such thoughts.

It is easy to say it is both civil and military, but it is too difficult to implement.

After all, there is an essential difference between military generals and civil servants. Looking at the past dynasties that aspired to the throne of China, apart from being able to do both civil and military affairs in the early days, in other periods, they all did the same thing without exception.

That is to weaken the authority and status of generals.

There is no way, there are too many troops under the command of military generals. If there are no checks and balances, there will inevitably be a situation where the troops are self-reliant, or even the feudal towns will be separatist.

Today's Ming Dynasty is more or less in this situation.

If the status and situation of generals were to be changed under such circumstances, no one could say whether it would be good or bad for the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that Zhu Youjian never thought that Zhu Youxiao had already made a complete set of strategic reforms for generals and the army. As long as the battle of Liaodong could be won, the subsequent plans and deployments could be implemented in an orderly manner.

As long as it can be implemented and form a virtuous cycle, Zhu Youxiao will have enough confidence to completely change the existing structure of the Ming Dynasty, including the military! !

So for Zhu Youxiao, he is now making a big gamble. Let's see who can win the final victory under this big gamble, or who...
