Chapter 452 Supervision and Disarmament

"The rest is the issue of military supervision. The reason why everyone opposes the general is because the military supervision is like this. A good military supervisor will do his duty, that is, only supervise the general's words and deeds, and beware of his unjust intentions.

But the military supervisor often forgets his duties, always regards himself as a civil servant, and looks down on these military generals who fight to the death. He thinks that military generals are not good at this or that. Without their own kind of mountain and valley, they all have an unrealistic dream, thinking of giving guidance to the country, sitting in the high hall and winning thousands of miles away. While talking and laughing, the masts and oars are destroyed. So they begin to point fingers at the army, causing the insiders to guide the laymen.

The generals are afraid of the nature of civil servants and eunuchs, so they accommodate these military supervisors everywhere, and as a result, they make the whole thing mess up."

Everyone knows this thoroughly.

"But do you find a problem? A very serious problem."

Everyone remained silent, waiting for Zhao Xing's explanation.

"Our Ming Dynasty court seriously emphasizes culture over military affairs. This situation has reached the point of absolute despising military generals. But this emphasis on culture over military affairs is not inherent. This is also the degeneration of our military generals and has a direct relationship with the inability to produce decent military achievements. Every battle is defeated, how can you respect you?"

Zhang Zhiji muttered: "So it's not that our soldiers are not good at all. In this way, it is necessary to reduce the reorganization and train a tough army. As long as we win a battle, see who will come to show off in front of me. If they dare to pretend again, I will beat him up."

This is quite confident. The reason is that during the last Battle of Gyeonggi, Zhang Zhiji first fought Zunhua and won, then fought Yongdingmen and then won, and then attacked Nanyuan and still won.

These three victories not only stabilized the titles and official positions he inherited at a young age, but also gave him capital in front of the emperor. So now, a small group of three people, including the emperor, Zhao Xing, Zhang Zhi and the young. To outsiders, the three of them are so young, so capable and energetic, which is really enviable.

"There is another reason why I was despised by civil officials. To put it bluntly, that is, the emperor distrusts us."

Then he glanced at Cao Huachun quietly, and Cao Huachun smiled slightly: "You said so many disrespectful words in front of the emperor, and the emperor didn't do anything to you. Besides, do you have fewer disrespectful things to the emperor in front of others? Do you still need me, the one who passes the message? Don't be afraid, I have a choice and can't hear it clearly."

As soon as he said this, Zhao Xing didn't feel anything. Instead, everyone else here felt that this eunuch was indeed a good person.

"However, how can we let the emperor know our loyalty? How can we let the emperor truly know our situation? It is absolutely impossible to rely on the original civil servants and military supervisors, because civil servants like to point fingers and look down on military generals, and they prefer to steal our military merits. We expect them to tell the truth for us, then you have to see if the sow is on the tree."

When civil officials supervise the army, everyone is angry, especially when civil officials are learning from Yuan Chonghuan, they are capable of killing military generals and establishing their authority. All the supervised military generals are in danger. What's even more annoying is that, as Zhao Xing said, they love to command blindly, and do whatever they plan to make a plan and win a dream of winning thousands of miles. Under their blind command, it is often a good battle, and eventually they will be defeated. As a result, the civil officials will put their heads on the heads of military generals and let the generals take the blame. Once they win, they will proudly put all their contributions, not even a little soup, and take them in their arms, and their eating habits are quite bad and ugly.

Faced with such a situation, you have to endure it. Once you dare to fight, he will make a crime casually and make your head fall. First of all, the emperor doesn’t know, so he can only trust the civil servants’ reports. Even if the emperor knows that you are wronged and the civil servants protect each other, he can still save those bastards from the crime. The final outcome is that you will die in vain.

"In order to get rid of the situation where we are isolated from the truth by civil officials, I asked the eunuchs to supervise the army this time. But I have put forward the conditions for you to preach the emperor. First, eunuchs can only listen, not say, only watch, and are absolutely not allowed to be involved in military power, and there is no right to dispatch and command, and they do not even have the right to participate in decision-making."

Cao Huachun solemnly added: "Our family is responsible for the military eunuchs. They have the right to write secret comments, that is, to put your every move, arrange your battle, and command the whole process, and to make the emperor feel your abilities at any time and see your loyalty. You also have the right to defend your criticism, and then hand it over to our family, and then the Jinyiwei will investigate and ensure the truth. Once the eunuchs sent out violate the rules set by the commander, I will chop their heads. Please believe in our family and the commander."

If Zhao Xing really follows Zhao Xing's method, then sending the military supervisor to the generals would be a great thing. In this way, everyone has the opportunity to talk directly with the emperor and can directly reach the heavenly hearing what they think and what they have done, which is a great thing.

So, this matter was settled.

The rest is to brainstorm and calculate how many of the three million troops in the Ming Dynasty are now appropriate.

There are 3.36 million nominal ones, of which Guanning cannot be abolished, and Lao Sun even calls for insufficient troops. In addition, Dongjiang Town cannot be counted because they do not spend your money and do not eat your rice.

Zhang Shenyan of Yunnan and Guizhou cannot reduce his words. He is the critical moment of war, so it would be good if he did not increase his troops.

The Mu family in Yunnan cannot move because he not only needs to intimidate local chieftains, but also needs to intimidate the eleven vassal states in the south. The Beijing camp and the six guards in Beijing cannot be reduced because by the same token, the military pay and food in this area are spent by the emperor. Whether to cut or not is cut, the emperor has the final say.

Especially this army, defending the capital is one of their tasks, and they have another more critical task, which is to shock the armies everywhere.

The one in Nanjing is full of master soldiers, but it can be reduced by half.

The border army has a net worth of 870,000, and is now responsible for defending against the Mongols, and at the same time, it also needs to encircle and suppress the bandits in the northwest.

But according to Sun Chuanting's rectification and counting, there was actually 500,000 yuan, and there was no need to lay off employees. Just paying money and grain according to the current amount, which was half the amount.

But Sun Chuanting is a practical person. After careful calculations, in order to support Zhao Xing's military resentment operation, he boldly proposed that only 300,000 is enough.
