No one here would have thought that ten years later in history, the Qing Dynasty invaded the pass, the Ming Dynasty was exhausted and could not resist, the country changed its ownership, the artifact fell, and the people cried out.

Zhu Xu didn't care whether they could understand the emotions hidden in his words. His eyes were calm and his tone was three-pointer, and he said, "I have several requirements for the 'military reform'. First, the 'military reform' is to achieve the established goals. You can't hesitate at all. All the calculations in your heart are put aside. Second, I want efficiency. My Ming army must be as important as an arm, and the first priority is efficiency. Kill the targets of the checks and balances. Third, the Grand Marshal's Mansion, the emperor serves as the Grand Marshal, and customize it. Fourth, our Ming Dynasty must implement a compulsory military service system. All those who are of the right age must be enlisted, without exception, with a limit of three years..."

When Sun Chengzong and others listened to Zhu Xu's words, many people looked solemn.

Obviously, the emperor was not satisfied with their "military reform" plan, especially the part involving "checks and balances", which was exactly what they valued the most and was important.

“Brain the mind and bring innovation.”

Zhu Xu looked at the group of people and said calmly: "What you said just now is that Master Sun and the Ministry of War will think carefully. The meeting will be held again. I will give you two days. The new "military reform" should be submitted as soon as possible, and it should fully reflect the ideas and my intentions. The grand proposal is scheduled to be held in three days. All kinds of officials should be selected as soon as possible and take their seats. Wucheng Pavilion will be temporarily sent to the Marshal's Mansion for use..."

Sun Chengzong and everyone knew that this was the final decision. They all stood up and raised their hands and said, "I will obey the order."

Just as these people were about to leave, Zhu Xu said again: "By the way, when you start the discussion, the cabinet, the six ministers and ministers, attended the audience."

Sun Chengzong looked slightly and looked at Zhu Xu. He was a little uncertain about Zhu Xu's meaning for a moment. After a moment, he raised his hand and said, "I obey the order."

Zhu Xu put Xiao Ciye who was asleep again aside, stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll have dinner in the palace today. I've already prepared the imperial kitchen."

Many people present had dinner with Zhu Xu, but their faces were calm, but most of them were still very excited. It was hard to see the emperor, so it was a great honor to be able to eat together.

At the wine table, more than 20 people were present, without any cups. Under Zhu Xu's comfort, all they said were real family matters. Today, this one gave birth to a son, that one had a grandson, this one took a concubine, that one reunited, how about the son, the daughter was going to get married again, and so on.

Sun Chengzong and other old people also talked and laughed, and talked about interesting things at home. However, the king and his subjects were harmonious and the wine table was harmonious.

Most of the hour later, Sun Chengzong and a group of people left the Qianqing Palace one after another, whispering in groups of three or three.

"The emperor is still very close, not so... arbitrary and disobeying advice..."

"Yes, you have less contact. If you have more contact, the emperor is still very easy..."

"Actually, I think what the emperor said is right. The ward system should have been abolished long ago. My Ming army system has to start over. The emperor did the right thing!"

"My Ming Dynasty needs to be rebuilt more than just a military system. There are so many people outside shouting, but what did I do to my Ming Dynasty? I am still thinking about continuing to fight for power and profit and surviving..."

"It's okay for us to have a 'military reform'. You didn't see the 'new policy'. It was delayed for more than two months. It's still on the surface. The inner-level things have not been involved yet..."

"Well, we still have to go ahead. Let's talk to Sun Ge Lao tomorrow, the Ministry of War. The 'military reform' must be decided as soon as possible. We cannot rob the civil servants of the first..."

"That's right, now the military posts and military ranks are new, so we might be able to go further..."

"Yes, I almost forgot this. Let's go and ask Master Sun how the officials from the Grand Marshal's Mansion came from, and see if they could get a job with a single official position!"

A group of generals left the palace in groups of three or five, and rushed to the Ministry of War with alcohol.

However, Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao and others did not return to the Ministry of War, but turned to the cabinet and sat down in Sun Chengzong's class room.

Shen Yongmao was worried and said, "Gei Master, the emperor's meaning is already very clear. What should I do if the Grand Marshal's Mansion is not subject to restraint?"

Sun Chengzong was also worried about this. The meaning of the Ganqing Palace was very clear. The army must be like an arm-powered man, without so many constraints. However, this does not conform to the tradition of the Central Plains dynasty's emphasis on culture and suppressing military affairs. Moreover, there are real threats here. The Ming Dynasty began with the post of Chengzu and looked extremely important to military power. No matter what the situation, there will be no good results.

Therefore, this military power must not be without restraint!

The key to the problem is that no matter how they object, the emperor can bypass them and even kick them aside completely.

By that time, the emperor who is completely unrestrained will act even more unscrupulously.

Sun Chengzong frowned and thought, and suddenly looked up at Shen Yongmao and said, "Have you chosen the people from the Grand Marshal's Mansion?"

Shen Yongmao did not expect that Sun Chengzong suddenly changed the subject and thought, "Everyone, the bureau chiefs are experienced civil servants working in the army in various places. They have already planned it and sent it to the Supervisor for review. As for the Eight Generals, it depends on the emperor's thoughts."

Sun Chengzong shook his head and said, "I left these eight generals to those local generals. I have no real power. I will leave it alone. I will urge the Supervisor's Office to release it as soon as possible. No matter what, first form the Grand Marshal's Office. As long as I am in one day, things will not get out of control."

Shen Yongmao was slightly stunned, and then realized something and said, "Okay, I will do it as soon as possible. What Cao Wenzhao said was that several troops under the command of the emperor would be set up, how should we deal with this?"

Cao Wenzhao was Zhu Xu's absolute confidant, and everyone knew it very well. It was rumored that he was the candidate to replace Sun Chengzong. What he said openly in the Ganqing Palace was clearly a message to everyone for Zhu Xu.

The arm could not resist his thighs, Sun Chengzong murmured and said, "The Chijin Guard, Taining Guard and Cao Wenzhao are training fast-resisting camps. These three branches, no, there are Dorgon's 20,000 Jiannu cavalry, we won't touch these four branches, and leave them to the emperor."

Shen Yongmao frowned and immediately let go. Over the years, there have been more than once or twice such things, and their ability to accept has been trained.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't care much about these things, saying, "So from the second half of the year, I will stabilize the southern provinces first, start from the Shandong and other places, first solve the coastal provinces, and then gradually advance into the inside. No, Sun Ge Lao and Lord Shen must leave Beijing. It is best to lead the army in the name of drills and shock some slutty and unscrupulous hearts!"

The things in front of me have been compromised under Zhu Xu's pressure, and it has basically come to an end, so I have to consider actual actions.

Sun Chengzong took a deep breath, his face firmly said, "Well, the plan is decided first, and give the local area some buffering time. Let's start solving Chahar first, and then we can go south with confidence and do our best to deal with the 'military reform' matter."
