Chapter five hundred and thirty seventh thieves and slaves meet

Qin Liangyu naturally knew the purpose of this visit to Beijing. Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao and others had talked about it many times.

She also knew the emperor's attention to the southwestern provinces, and thought for a while: "Return to the six provinces of Shaanxi, Xi, Sichuan, Guizhou, Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai, and Hai, with a total of nearly 200,000 troops, and there are nearly 200,000 provincial troops. The morale is energetic and the sufficient silver and grain. The Ministry of War has a comprehensive plan. I also have this careful deployment. The governors and governors from all over the country are very attentive. I believe that the affairs of Governor Li in the southwest should be an accident..."

Zhu Xu could hear that Qin Liangyu was very confident, which made him feel a little relieved about the Southwest. However, Li Jingbai’s affairs must have been not an accident. Even the Jinyiwei couldn’t find out, but I was afraid that there was really a master behind him planning.

Zhu Xu has read Qin Liangyu's memorial several times, thought about it, and changed the topic and said, "What do you think about military reform?"

Qin Liangyu looked at Zhu Xu without hiding it, and said directly, "Emperor, I think my Ming Guard was in chaos and my combat power was sluggish, so I should make some innovations. The military guards promoted by the Ministry of War, I think it is OK to remove the old disadvantages and remove the dilemma. Only then can the army have stronger combat power and protect the safety of our Ming Dynasty..."

Zhu Xu listened to the constant head of the jaw, the military guard system, the infantry was the main body, and the cavalry was complementary. This should be an attitude of the Ming military.

According to Zhu Xu's idea, he also wanted to equip each army with a heavy artillery battalion, but the artillery cannons cannot be fought in the field, so they can only be released first.

After Qin Liangyu stopped, Zhu Xucai tapped the table with his fingers and said in a plain tone: "Well, since the veteran General Qin can agree, there should be no problem for others... In addition, there are some voices. I hope I will send the military supervisor to the military supervisors in various places. What do you think?"

Qin Liangyu frowned. She hated the inner prisoner very much. Although the inner prisoner has been recalled to the palace since the emperor ascended the throne, and there are very few internal prisoners sent out, but few people really like the "evil dogs" that have been released from the Wanli period.

But this also involves the emperor's control over the army, and the court's fear of local generals. Even Qin Liangyu must answer with caution and caution.

Qin Liangyu was silent. This question was difficult to answer. If he agreed, it would be of no benefit to the reform of the Ming army. If he did not agree or was vague, it would not only be the emperor, but he would be afraid that he would offend the Ministry of War to death, which would be counterproductive.

Zhu Xu understood and nodded, "I understand. I will not agree to sending the inner prisoner out of the palace. Do you have other ways to dispel the doubts of the Ministry of War and the court?"

Qin Liangyu's expression was slow, and after hearing this, he thought for a while, he looked up and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that you can send people from the nobles who understand military tactics into each army and serve as deputy generals."

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect this.

This nobleman is noble and prominent, but in fact his status is only a little less embarrassing than the royal family, and he cannot advance or retreat. If he is sent to be the "military supervisor", he will neither have the strong halo of internal supervisors nor the basis for commanding troops to control one side, he is indeed a very suitable candidate.

However, this is only Zhu Xu's opinion that the court officials may not be willing. In their opinion, this may make the foreign relatives overwhelmed and do not conform to the "ancestral system" of the Ming Dynasty.

From the perspective of the original intention, Zhu Xu did not agree with this "military supervision" approach, which would make the generals in the leadership of the army feel uncomfortable, and they were afraid of doing things, which was not a means to strengthen the army.

"Is there anything else to be played?" Zhu Xu pressed and changed the subject.

Qin Liangyu raised his hand and said, "Emperor, all ethnic groups in the southwest live in a complex situation. I believe that the court's governance needs to be taken into account and must not make blind decisions."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly and said, "This is very good. I will order the six ministries to discuss and give the governor of the six southwestern provinces the right to be cheaper."

Qin Liangyu's heart moved slightly again. The emperor in front of him was smart and wise, able to accept loyal advice, and he was truly a wise ruler!

Zhu Xu asked a few more questions, and finally asked Cao Huachun to lead him to meet Concubine Liu.

Zhu Xu sat on the dragon chaise, tapping his fingers on the table, and said to himself, "It seems that Sun Chengzong and Shen Yongmao have really taken a lot of effort. Qin Liangyu basically agrees, and others should not have much opinion..."

"Who is below?" Zhu Xu turned to look at Liu Shimin.

Liu Shimin turned around and said, "Your Majesty, it's Yang Sichang, he is already waiting outside the palace."

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and then said, "Tell him to come in."

Yang Sichang, Zhu Xu, is very appreciative of this person, has the ability and means, and has a very high strategic vision. In history, Yang Sichang's "Ten-Side Net" was indeed very powerful. The direct result was that Zhang Xianzhong surrendered, and Li Zicheng only had eighteen cavalry hiding and did not dare to leave. In other words, when Huang Taiji entered the pass and the troops entered the capital, Chongzhen urgently transferred troops back to the capital to guard the capital, giving them a chance, otherwise Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong would find it difficult to get up again.

Yang Sichang walked in from outside, wearing a third-rank court uniform, with soft facial features and calm expressions, like a middle-aged Confucian scholar, without any military appearance, with bright eyes, raised his hand and bowed, "Since Yang Sichang, see the emperor!"

Zhu Xu knew it, but Yang Sichang still thought he was a civil servant. He smiled and said, "Pingsheng, Yang Qing, I have been in the capital for a long time, but what do you think?"

Yang Sichang was calm and felt quite nervous. The emperor in front of him was not Wanli, nor Tianqi. He looked up and said cautiously: "Go back to the emperor, the atmosphere in the capital has changed, and it is no longer the quagmire of the past, all rely on the emperor's wise wisdom."

Zhu Xu blinked. He had just praised the word "Mud" and Yang Sichang was flattering in a blink of an eye, and he was still so naked.

Zhu Xu looked unmoved and said directly: "What do you think about the military palace?"

The so-called military hall is basically to decompose the military power of the Ministry of War. The current Ministry of War is in charge of the world's military, recruiting soldiers, personnel, and dispatching, and a real one-stop. The power and responsibility are too great, and it really needs to be decomposed and checked and balanced.

Yang Sichang has been in Beijing for a long time and has learned a detailed understanding of the Military Palace. In fact, it is roughly equivalent to the past Five Armies Protectorate. Seeing the emperor asking so directly, he organized a speech and said: "Emperor, I believe that the generals of each province need to be transferred from another place, and each province must not exceed five years. The general can be recommended by the Ministry of War, and the deputy general should be recommended by the Military Palace. The Military Palace is responsible for commanding and training, and the Ministry of War is responsible for dispatching..."

As soon as Yang Sichang opened his mouth, he was like he was talking, and he said a stick of incense before he stopped.

Zhu Xu heard a lot of fresh and practical methods from his words and said with appreciation: "I'm very inspired. Well, what do you think are the southwestern provinces need to deal with it?"

Yang Sichang did not hesitate this time and said directly: "I believe that the chaos in the southwest lies in the disaster situation, and the difficulty of the imperial court lies in the whip. The imperial court should be prepared for both ways. On the one hand, vigorously provide disaster relief and on the other hand, it sets up networks to trap the rioters in a corner, so as not to be large, gather and annihilate them."

This should be a rough version of "Shimian Zhangwang", Zhu Xu said: "Are there any other ideas?"

Yang Sichang couldn't understand Zhu Xu's purpose, pondered for a while, raised his hand and said aloud: "Emperor, I think the capital, especially the court, is too relieved about Liaodong."

Zhu Xu's expression moved slightly and said, "What do you mean?"

Yang Sichang knew that his words might offend the emperor or the adults in the court, but he still said with a bright look: "Emperor, the thief slaves merged with Korqin, with more than 60,000 troops. Going south can force the Great Wall, Ningxia, Yulin and other towns are threatened, and advancing east can force Shenyang. No matter what, it is still a danger that cannot be underestimated for our Ming Dynasty to examine. I believe that the emperor and the court should not be taken lightly. We should try to completely cut it off to ensure the safety of the whole world..."

Zhu Xu showed a hint of praise on his face and said, "You probably haven't finished speaking yet, continue talking."

Seeing that the emperor was not displeased, Yang Sichang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, the situation in Jiannu is over. It is difficult to make a comeback, unless there is another force to help, or... I will be defeated by the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Xu's eyes were slightly deeper and his expression remained motionless.

Yang Sichang looked at Zhu Xu and said, "I am worried that Jiannu may be provoking civil unrest, and the slaves and enemies will join forces to make a comeback."

Zhu Xu's eyes twitched, his fingers slowly tapped the tabletop, his eyes flashed slightly.

The restoration of Liaodong was a heart-boosting agent for the Ming Dynasty, which greatly encouraged the decadent morale of the Ming Dynasty. What Yang Sichang said earlier was not that the court or that he was careless, but that he did it deliberately, and did not want to suffocate the motivation for the Ming Dynasty's reform and progress.

The four words "Nu Kou are in harmony" were pounded hard in Zhu Xu's heart.

Nu refers to Jiannu, Huang Taiji. Kou refers to the bandits who are in chaos and turmoil.

Zhu Xu almost subconsciously opposed the two and could not unite, but Yang Sichang's words woke him up. History is already very different, and such possibilities are constantly increasing. Li Jingbai's affairs may be really not that simple!

When Yang Sichang saw that the emperor did not speak for a long time, he felt uneasy. He didn't know whether the emperor could accept this "vote to be appointed" emperor. If the emperor did not accept it, he would probably have to go home before he took office.

After a while, Zhu Xu turned to Yang Sichang and said, "You are reminding me that after you arrive at the Military Information Department, you need to plan in detail, deduce, make reasonable arrangements and arrangements... Also, you can come to see me at any time."

Yang Sichang fell to his heart and raised his hand and said, "I obey the order!"

After talking for a while, Zhu Xu watched Yang Sichang leave the imperial study room, and the Military Intelligence Department, the General Staff Department, changed its name. He hoped that Yang Sichang could train a group of qualified and outstanding officers to deal with the new situation that the Ming Dynasty was about to face.

"The one below is gone,"

Zhu Xu took a sip of tea and said, "Tell me, Prince Jing, come."

Liu Shimin responded and said, "Yes."

Zhu Xu looked outside the door every day, and the sky was clear.

Zhu Xu has always been concerned about the Governor's Office. In the past, the Censorate was a powerful weapon for party struggles in the capital. If the local government did this, the party struggles in the court would be gone. I am afraid that the local government would not stop and would fall into internal friction.
