If the martial arts of the Five Military Mansions want to succeed, then there must be one person who can't avoid the people who want to contact him.

That is Zhu Di, the king of Yan in Nanjing.

Beijing is not far from Nanjing, and Zhu Di soon received a letter from his eldest brother.

And after getting this letter, in the face of Xu Huizu's request in the letter that Zhu Di could come forward to Beijing, Zhu Di just sneered.

He laughed at his eldest brother for being stupid.

Even now you still have illusions about the emperor?

"How can he be so naïve to think that this petition is just Xu Buji's idea?"

In Zhu Di's mansion, dozens of generals gathered for a while, most of these generals were commanded by the capitals of the provinces south of the Yangtze River, and they also received Xu Huizu's letter.

"Lone has retreated, you can go by yourself, don't ask Lone."

At this time, Zhu Di was in no mood to get involved at all, he directly drove away all the generals who came to the door to tempt, without the slightest intention of interfering, and after driving away these people, he wrote a letter to Zhu Gaoxu.

"Daddy wants you to be a pure, clean soldier."

Be a pure, clean military man!

This is Zhu Di's only message to his son.

The mission of a soldier is to defend the country and make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and it is also the only way to realize the value of life.

"People's hearts are dissatisfied, be careful when you want to be unfilled, there is a group of officers and soldiers under your command who urgently need to realize their ambitions in life."

This admonition is enough to make Zhu Gaoxu wake up.

He is already the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Theater of Operations, what else does he want to worry about?

This sentence is already very clear, there are hundreds of thousands of troops in the entire Northeast Theater, how many people want to be the commander-in-chief?

As long as they want to do it, they will be unwavering royalists, loyal fans of Zhu Yunwen, and will never be Zhu Gaoxu's private army.

Xu Huizu has fallen into a misunderstanding, believing that their officials are high and powerful, and only if they support the emperor can the emperor rule stably.

Let the nobles be royalists, the emperor's authority will never be stable, and only by letting the middle and lower classes who aspire to be nobles be royalists, the emperor's authority can not be easy for eternity.

Those who want to make trouble are just a group of high-ranking officials who seem to be bluffing, but in fact they are just a group of old men who are old and powerless, and this country is mostly ordinary soldiers in their twenties who are in their prime and eager to be generals and marshals.

They will not follow Xu Huizu and others to confront the imperial power, they will only tie up those who oppose the imperial power and exchange them for their own entry steps.

This is the reality that cannot be denied.

Unless one day, when this emperor is no longer worth mentioning in the eyes of middle and lower-class soldiers, there will be a so-called situation of turning the national army into a private army, of course, you must be able to afford these ordinary soldiers who need to rely on military salaries to support their families.

Zhu Di warned Zhu Gaoxu, and at the same time in Jiangxi, at the end of the New Year, Yang Shiqi saw Yang Ji, the son of the political envoy of Zuobu in Henan, who had returned to his hometown for the New Year.

For his father, Yang Ji has a lot of things he wants to ask.

"Your Majesty has always wanted to expand the territory, but at this time, the interests of using martial arts will not affect the enthusiasm of the military? Isn't this a bit unreasonable? ”

"Childish!"

Reprimanded mercilessly, Yang Shiqi taught: "Do you think this is the cabinet seizing power, this is the central government centralizing power." It is His Majesty who is purifying the military power and making the army completely become a national army, and not branding the name of a certain general with so-called military merits and prestige.

The reason why the Five Military Offices made such a big fuss this time was because they thought that they had been fighting for decades and had a merit to this country, and they should reach out to this country to demand the rewards they deserved.

And in fact, those who really give the most precious thing for this country no longer have the opportunity to ask for anything from the country, because those people pay with their lives!

Your Majesty will definitely take this opportunity to strip away all the interests belonging to the noble class, and then disperse them to every soldier in the whole army, and the military power will also be highly concentrated in the hands of Your Majesty.

Those marshals and generals who annihilated hundreds of thousands of enemies in a single battle on the battlefield, do they really think that they are brave and invincible? It was the result of the three armies' hard work and the advantage of artillery fire, not their own knife.

To deny their achievements is in fact to affirm the merits of the officers and men at the grassroots level, and to sacrifice a small part of the hearts of the generals in exchange for the military morale of the whole army, and those who will be generals in the future must be pure and clean soldiers, not a power-wielding tiger who is full of selfish interests and is always worried about whether he can use the military power in his hands to gain personal interests for himself and his family. ”

There are always different choices in each era, if the current Ming Dynasty does not have sharp artillery and guns, or the era of cold weapons, then an excellent marshal is of course very important.

It's like at the beginning of the crossing, Zhu Yunwen naturally had to accommodate Zhu Di for the sake of this country and forgive Zhu Di's rebellion.

In today's era, a famous general is still important, but it is no longer indispensable.

Li Yunlong led an independent regiment with light and heavy machine guns, and the 3,000-strong army of 3,000 Han Xin could win a complete victory, and everyone knew that Li Yunlong would definitely win.

But who would say that Li Yunlong was a better military commander than Han Shin?

It was because of the progress of the times that Zhu Yunwen had to start purifying the army's mind.

When Ma Dajun was in class, Zhu Yunwen had already released this signal.

He didn't go dozens of miles out of the city to pick him up, he didn't have a large banquet to entertain, and he didn't have an edict to boast about.

It's just an appointment of the edict, so that some people know that Ma Dajun is the new chief of the general staff.

Gradually reducing the influence of military personnel in this country is never a bad thing for a country.

Zhu Yunwen is only reducing the risk of military interference in politics that may occur in the future, and he is by no means talking about suppressing the status of military personnel and emphasizing literature and suppressing military force.

The salaries, subsidies, food, and rewards for military exploits of ordinary officers and men are getting higher and higher year by year, and being a soldier is certainly hard, but it is also more than earning more than working and farming, and it is also being treated favorably.

"Where is the military attache engaged in politics as His Majesty's opponent? They always feel how great they are, but they don't know that when they get together and discuss how to defend their rightful power by the means they think they rightfully have, it is the real betrayal.

It's not that Your Majesty has cut himself off from the military, but that they have cut himself off from the whole ** people! Because they shamelessly put the credit of all the soldiers in their bloody battles on themselves, and proudly said that it was the reward of heaven for them to achieve success, which is the same paradox as Xu Buji's father's sentence that if the water is clear, there will be no fish.

Look at it, this matter will be troubled for many years, but the final result must be that Your Majesty will take this opportunity to highly unify the military spirit and military power of the whole country, Your Majesty is a human being, and has been taught by his father for many years, a group of ignorant and ignorant people, and they also vainly try to use their arms as a car, but they don't know that they are all sons of the chessboard, and every step is within Your Majesty's expectations. ”

How easy is it to break the seemingly extremely powerful deterrent military power?

It is enough to send an edict to the whole army and tell those soldiers, officers, and generals that their annual salaries will rise.

Xu Huizu will not betray their class, so will ordinary soldiers betray their own class?

The human heart is also the simplest.

Egoism!

Whoever can feed them, give them honor, and give them room for promotion, then they will definitely support someone and die for it.

And these three points, in the whole world, who else can give it except Zhu Yunwen?

It's a pity that Yang Shiqi can see through such a simple and easy-to-understand truth at a glance, but Xu Huizu and others, who are in the whirlpool, can't see through it.

They are still waiting for the support of the provinces to echo and for the military generals at or above the command level of the major military regions to echo them.

Waiting for the clouds to move in the world, they are going further, completely defeating Xu Buji.

Preserve your hard-earned power.
