When the matter of Taifu Temple broke out, Zhu Houxi first became furious and wanted to kill people...... But soon, he became frightened, and even could not sleep well, as if it was the day when he had been married to the Tartar again.

Soldiers and horses...... In a way, horses are even more important than people.

The situation of the forbidden army in Beijing has shocked Zhu Houxi, but in fact, the real terrible thing is Ma Zheng!

In any case, the Ming Dynasty can still pull out 100,000 people.

But can the imperial court get 10,000 elite cavalry?

Zhu Houxi was scared, frightened, and uneasy.

As soon as you close your eyes, you can see thousands of Tartars, riding on war horses and brandishing scimitars, slaughtering into the capital, first chopping Wang Yue into pulp, then rushing up, and then cutting off his head...... No, it's terrifying!

I must find a way to protect the capital first and take care of my own life...... Zhu Houxi thought about it all night, and as soon as it was dawn, he called the four people into the Qianqing Palace.

Wang Yangming, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Qiong, who had just taken over as the Ministry of War, Yang Yiqing, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, plus the unlucky Wang Yue who was stabbed for him in his dream.

Brought out from the quilt in the morning, Wang Yue sighed, and his face was dissatisfied. Zhu Houxi's goods are really difficult to serve, I have found money for you, you are honestly married, why bother people's dreams!

Wang Yue was thinking, and suddenly an old man ran over in small steps, with a smile on his face.

"You're Lord Xiao Wang, right? The old man has heard of your name for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was really a young hero, and his name was well deserved! ”

Wang Yue looked at it carefully for a long time, and finally said, "You...... It's Wang Qiong, right? ”

The old man immediately smiled, "That's right, it's the old man, I heard that he was going to face the saint with Lord Xiao Wang, and the old man specially waited at the gate of the palace, just to see the demeanor of Lord Xiao Wang." ”

Wang Yue rolled his eyelids, even Yang Yiqing would not wait for him, no matter what happened in private, the old man still had to save face. But this Wang Qiong is really surprising!

"Lord Wang, this time Your Majesty is going to ask about military affairs and horse politics, you are always an expert, and you can only listen to your ears in your later life."

Wang Qiong waved his hand, "Don't say that, Lord Xiao Wang is the confidant of the Son of Heaven, the number one celebrity in front of His Majesty, you say a word, it is more effective than saying 10,000 words to the old man." The old man all listened to Lord Xiao Wang...... What are your plans, the old man is willing to second. All in all, it will not be wrong for the old man to follow Lord Xiao Wang! ”

Wang Qiong smiled flatteringly, that demeanor, even fought with Jia Yongyou, so anxious to express his position, there won't be another lackey, right?

Wang Yue suddenly remembered Yang Minggong's reminder, he finally understood, no wonder he can get along well with Wang Qiong, dare to love this old man is not to love to carry his juniors, but to be talented but not virtuous!

Whoever is favored, who can speak, he will stutter to whom, and he doesn't care about his identity at all.

Wang Yue couldn't laugh or cry, this court is really everyone.

In this way, Wang Yue entered the palace with Wang Qiong, and the dignified member of the first rank, the veteran of the four dynasties who was in charge of the military department, deliberately staggered half of his body and let Wang Yue walk in front.

Wang Yue doesn't even know what to say, you can be a little reserved.

In the midst of Wang Yue's constant slander, the two of them entered the palace, and Wang Yangming and Yang Yiqing also came.

Zhu Houxi's eyes were red, and he nodded at a few people.

"I checked the situation of the Taifu Temple and found that the disadvantages of horse politics are far more than 10,000 times that of the military system, and the imperial court has not received many war horses over the years. At present, I can't even form an elite cavalry, and I can't sleep at night...... Several of them are important ministers who are familiar with military affairs, and I would like to ask you, how to restore Ma Zheng? ”

These people looked at each other, Yang Minggong's qualifications were far lower than Yang Yiqing and Wang Qiong, so he didn't speak.

Yang Yiqing pondered again and again, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the lack of horses in the army is a well-known thing, and what people don't know is that there is a shortage of generals in the army who can lead the cavalry to fight. Now there are not many generals in the army who dare to fight, and even fewer can lead cavalry into battle. ”

"The old minister thinks that if Your Majesty wants to restore the cavalry, I am afraid that it will not be so easy."

When Yang Yiqing handed over the power in his hand to Wang Yue, the old man also regained his true character as a minister, and he was old, so tell the truth!

Cavalry is not just a horse for a man.

Like the cavalry of the Han Dynasty, they were selected from among the teenagers, concentrated people in Shanglinyuan, raised horses and practiced soldiers, and did nothing else all day long, just learning to ride and shoot.

The Xiongnu grew on horseback, and the Han people could also grow on horseback! Moreover, the Han people have more offerings and more sufficient supplies, as long as they concentrate and think about winning the war.

Only then can there be an iron horse that sweeps the desert, and Huo Qubing can run rampant and kill the Huns like cutting vegetables.

Look at the current Ming Dynasty, there is a lack of cavalry, a lack of war horses, a lack of generals, and a lack of training grounds...... All the conditions for the resumption of cavalry, not a single one.

The situation was already a headache, and after Yang Yiqing said this, Zhu Houxi's head became bigger three times.

He looked at several ministers as if asking for help, especially Wang Yangming, who had achieved a great victory.

"What do you think, sir?"

Wang Yangming said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the difficulty is indeed very great, but as long as you have the heart, it may not be impossible!" The minister has an idea here, that is, in Liaodong and other places, expand the horse farm, concentrate the country's good horses and horses, carefully breed and select, raise horses, raise soldiers, as long as the imperial court continues to invest, ten years later, maybe there can be a fighting cavalry! ”

"Ten years!" Zhu Houxi cried, "How long does it take?" ”

Wang Yangming said helplessly: "Your Majesty, if you can recover the shortcomings accumulated in a hundred years, it is already very good." ”

Zhu Houxi is really in a predicament, ten years, it's been too long, and the state of the soldier makes him wonder, can he afford to wait?

Just after everyone fell silent, Wang Yue suddenly spoke faintly, "Your Majesty, the minister has an idea, since it is so difficult to restore the cavalry, then simply not recover." ”

Zhu Houxi was so angry that he changed color, and said angrily: "Wang Yue, it's not your character to retreat in the face of difficulties!" ”

Wang Yue said without fear: "Your Majesty, although the minister does not understand military affairs, I expect that back then, when the great grandfather raised the army, I was afraid that there would not be many war horses, and I would not be able to compete with the Tartars." But Taizu still laid a splendid Ming Dynasty. The minister thought that as long as he learned the method of Taizu, he would be able to get a fighting army! ”

"Taizu's law? What do you mean? ”

"Your Majesty! Let's develop firearms and battle formations! Wang Yue said excitedly: "The minister has consulted the actual record of Taizu, and in the thirteenth year of Hongwu, Taizu dismissed the military quartermaster warehouse, placed the Ordnance Bureau, and used the military weapons. There are 100 households in the army, 10 mills, 20 swords, 30 bows and arrows, and 40 guns. In other words, one out of ten people uses a firebolt...... Since then, the number of firearms in the army has been continuously increased, and the number has increased. With sophisticated firearms and a well-organized military formation, it may not be impossible to break the enemy! ”

After Wang Yue finished speaking, he was a little floating.

I'm a genius!

The development of firearms, that is what any of the predecessors of the crossing would like to do, they have to brag about how many firearms are good...... Only when you get to yourself, the cavalry can't get it, so you can replace it with firearms, is this progress or regression?

Wang Yue couldn't figure it out, but at this moment, both of them frowned, Yang Yiqing and Wang Yangming were both bigwigs in the army...... They were even more desperate for Daming's firearms.

If there was any hope for the cavalry to recover, then the firearms were completely abandoned by these two men. At present, the fire gun in the army is not as good as burning the fire stick!

When Wang Yangming was suppressing bandits, the army still used firearms left over from the Xuande period.

As for the ones made after Chenghua, no one dared to use them at all.

I don't know if I can beat the enemy, but whoever uses it is unlucky, the light one is burned, and the heavy one can blow up both hands, and the small life will go to the sky. The soldiers were not at all interested in this kind of artifact that killed 800 enemies and damaged 120,000 themselves!

Wang Yue, this kid is smart, but he doesn't know everything, so he came up with an idea that stinks so much that it can't be stinky anymore.

Yang Yiqing and Wang Yangming both had the intention to protect Wang Yue, so they considered the words and wanted to make the truth clear.

Who knew that Wang Qiong actually rushed to his knees and smiled!

"Your Majesty! What Lord Xiao Wang said just now really woke up the dreamer with a word! That's a great solution! To fight a war, it is necessary to make use of our strong points and avoid our weaknesses and take them by surprise. Raising horses and archery is not the strength of my Han family, and I am a master of countless skilled craftsmen. The firearms made are unparalleled in sharpness, rare in the world, and just able to restrain the Tartars. ”

Wang Qiongxing rushed and said: "What the great grandfather could do back then, with His Majesty's wisdom and divine martial arts, he can also do it." Moreover, Yang Tianguan said that he said that the generals in the army, the old minister thought otherwise, there was a young hero like Lord Xiaowang, and sooner or later he would become a pillar of the court, and the old minister congratulated Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty! ”

Wang Qiong jumped out to support, making everyone a little confused...... Yang Yiqing and Wang Yangming are not easy to speak.

Zhu Houxi didn't know the inside story, and thought that Wang Yue really had a good idea!

This Wang Qiong is Wang Yangming's benefactor, his old man has been in the army for a long time, has made many military exploits, is familiar with military affairs, and he is always reliable when he speaks.

Thinking of this, Zhu Houxi smiled, "Wang Yue, I really didn't expect that you still understand military affairs...... Then follow your idea and organize a firearms battalion. Do you have any comments from the Ministry of War? ”

Wang Qiong immediately said: "No, the old minister is willing to do his best to assist Lord Xiao Wang, Your Majesty just waits for the good news." ”
