Hearing Emperor Chongzhen's question, Wang Chengen was a little cautious, and did not say it immediately, but looked very solemn, holding the music chapter in both hands, and after putting it on the imperial case, he said seriously: "Long live the lord, this secret performance of the prince is really unheard of, and it opens the eyes of the slave maid!" ”

He didn't directly say whether he agreed or agreed, because the things played in the secret music were too involved, although he had already guessed the attitude of Emperor Chongzhen, but in the end he chose to be cautious.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen listened to his answer, couldn't help nodding, and said with a little emotion: "Yes, Mr.'s vision is that of people of our time, and it can't be compared!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Chengen had a bottom in his heart, so he said solemnly: "What the Lord said is very true, the Duke of the Kingdom is a gift from God to the Lord of the Long Live Lord, with the help of the Lord of the Kingdom, we can take a lot of crooked roads less!" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his interest suddenly increased, and he asked Wang Chengen: "What does the big companion mean, but also to agree with Mr.'s proposal to implement the innovation of the military system and improve the treatment of my Ming soldiers?" ”

Hearing the emperor ask again, Wang Chengen no longer dodged, and said calmly: "Other slaves and maids don't know, as far as the slaves and maids are concerned, if you really do what the prince said, the army of the Ming Dynasty is the army of the Long Live Lord, and there will definitely be no more changes in Zuo Liangyu!" ”

"Well, that's what I thought!" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his heart was settled, and he immediately smiled and said, "Sir, there is one more point, and what I said is also reasonable." If it was the Taiping period, or in the past, if you wanted to do this, there would definitely be a lot of resistance, but now that those selfish courtiers in the court have been cleaned up, it is the best time. After this time, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to do this again! ”

As he spoke, Emperor Chongzhen had already made a decision, and recalled Zhang Mingwei's secret music again in his heart, and digested it for his own use. When the day came, he held a grand court meeting.

Needless to say, at the court meeting, the theme was the great victory on the front line, and the siege was lifted. It can be said that the atmosphere at the court meeting has never been so relaxed.

Of course, there are many knowledgeable people. For example, the cabinet assistant minister Gu Yinxi, as well as Min Hongxue, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and others, all said that the main force of Li Thief was not damaged, and whether the siege of Kaifeng had been lifted or not had not yet been finally determined, and the enemy must not be underestimated.

Regarding their statement, without waiting for others to refute it, Emperor Chongzhen immediately affirmed it, which was the final word and set such a tone.

Subsequently, in order to calm the world as soon as possible, in order to calm the world as soon as possible, Emperor Chongzhen threw out Zhang Mingwei's suggestion, saying that it was necessary to improve the treatment of soldiers, set the deduction of military salaries as a felony, and give clear rules and regulations for the disability of soldiers, and give preferential treatment to retired soldiers.

As long as you are not a fool, hearing Emperor Chongzhen say something in such a detail, it means that Emperor Chongzhen already has an idea in his heart. Therefore, although there is opposition, it is not strong. After all, ordinary soldiers actually have little influence on the scholars and doctors in these temples. If Emperor Chongzhen was to improve the treatment of military generals, he would definitely be strongly opposed by these civil officials.

Among those who oppose it, there are two main versions.

The first theory is that there are millions of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, and if they are all given such preferential treatment, where will the money come from?

The second statement is that the Ming soldiers have such preferential treatment, so should the court officials also be given preferential treatment? If you want to talk about the importance, can the official yamen have fewer officials?

This second statement was not expected by Emperor Chongzhen, because Zhang Mingwei's secret music was not mentioned. However, for the first statement, Zhang Mingwei has a specific way to deal with it.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen announced: "Rest assured, Mr. has promised that the treasury will be very rich in the future." ”

As soon as he heard this, the hall was suddenly silent.

If this is said by someone else, then the people present will definitely spray. How much will it cost to settle millions of soldiers, and who can guarantee it?

However, if it was Xingguo Gong who guaranteed it, they wouldn't be able to spray. Because there really needs to be someone in this world who has the ability to ensure that the treasury has enough money, then there is absolutely no doubt about the rejuvenation of the country.

Not to mention anything else, just the two secret recipes that Xingguo Gong gave to the imperial court before, that is, two treasure plates. If Guogong has no other ideas to make money, will he give away the only two secret recipes in his hand? This is obviously impossible!

In addition, these people in the main hall also found from Emperor Chongzhen's words that the emperor's sudden mention of such a thing was definitely a recital of the Guogong, at least he discussed it with the Guogong first.

Thinking about this, there are even fewer opponents. They are not afraid of offending the emperor for a while, it is to brush up their prestige, and when they turn back, they will have their own time to recover. However, to offend the Xingguo Gong who is now in full swing, many people have no courage.

However, some people saw the opportunity and immediately proposed to Emperor Chongzhen that since the national government could ensure that the treasury had enough money, would it be better to give them a salary increase, and a salary increase, which is probably what it means. Among them, there are also people who say that they are given to the officials.

Seriously, it is not easy to reform, because it is often a matter that affects the whole body.

To their request, Emperor Chongzhen's reply was "reconsiderate".

Some people also suggested that if the soldiers were given higher treatment, would they be pampered and arrogant, after all, they were all martial artists and did things to disturb the people.

In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen took the opportunity to announce that he would send more supervisors to the level of 100 households in the army, responsible for teaching the soldiers to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country.

In this way, the question arises again, if the supervision army wants to reach the level of 100 households, the million army of the Ming Dynasty, how many supervision troops do you need, and whether this supervision army is sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate or sent by the factory and health department supervisors?

Not to mention the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Celebrant Supervisor, even if it is a factory guard, it is estimated that it will not be able to be sent, right? It's too much to ask for the number of superintendents.

If this situation is to be satisfied, then the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the celebrant and the factory guard may all have to work together to innovate, and what about the specific regulations?

At the beginning, Emperor Chongzhen could still talk eloquently in the face of the problems of these courtiers. Then, when it came to the end, it was beyond what Zhang Mingwei played in the secret recital, and it was beyond what Emperor Chongzhen himself had considered in advance, and suddenly, he couldn't answer it a little.

After all, these things are not something that can be decided with a pat on the head. There's a lot of stuff involved, and it's very important.

has been discussing for a whole day, and the more things are involved, the more and more they are involved, and in the end, Emperor Chongzhen's brain hurts, so he made an arbitrary decision and asked them to put the specific situation on the table and discuss it later. As for raising the treatment of soldiers, it was decided. The Cabinet and the six ministries will discuss and formulate specific regulations and report them as soon as possible.

Today's cabinet and six ministries are almost all recommended by Zhang Mingwei, and they are those civil officials who can do practical things. For what Emperor Chongzhen and Xingguo Gong have to do, and the reasons are reasonable, and they can also have a direct impact on the current things that have a direct impact on the current chaos in the world as soon as possible, they have no resistance, and Min Hongxue, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is the main to discuss the specific regulations.

For such a big matter, the celebrant who represented the emperor was naturally also involved. Wang Chengen interjected and asked for a few.

Clear-eyed people can see at a glance that this should be the emperor's meaning. What's more, this is actually the meaning of Guogong.

Wang Chengen watched, not to mention, it only took one day, the rules and regulations of the Ming Dynasty's registered soldiers, disability pensions and discharges were presented to the emperor, and after some discussion, they were reflected in the form of a system, and the edict was issued to the world.

………………

At this time, Zhang Mingwei's side has been preparing for war.

Fearing about the original history, Zhang Mingwei did not station his army under Kaifeng, but withdrew to the Yellow River, so as to prevent the Yellow River from being dammed and flooded.

The first grain to be shipped solved the food crisis in Kaifeng.

However, based on the current situation, many people in Kaifeng Prefecture, under the persuasion of the government, were also afraid of themselves, so those who had relatives and friends in the north went out of the city to seek refuge with relatives and friends, far away from the war zone.

With the road clear, the king of Zhou also went to Jingshi to meet the emperor and discuss matters related to the establishment of the domain of Luzon. Of course, it's still early. But at Zhang Mingwei's suggestion, this King of Zhou is a typical example. It is to let the vassal kings and squires everywhere know that it is very necessary to donate materials to strengthen the city defense.

On the basis of reducing the population of Kaifeng and alleviating the pressure on grain, the newly organized baggage battalions, together with the people organized by the government in various localities, are still transporting grain in a steady stream.

In addition, the troops stationed on the banks of the Yellow River are seizing the time to train every day to integrate the newly recruited 10,000 soldiers into the army.

Regarding this matter, Zhang Mingwei was already doing one thing without waiting for Jingshi's reply. It is to ask Zhu Yujiao, who is in charge of the morale of the army, to recruit those storytellers from Kaifeng City, go to the barracks, and tell them stories during the rest time between the training of the soldiers.

Of course, the stories told by storytellers are naturally stories of loyalty to the monarch and service to the country, and thieves to bring disaster to the world. It was checked by Zhang Mingwei, and even adapted by him himself.

In addition, he also asked the storyteller to read "Ming Pao", and also told the Ming army soldiers about some things in the court. It is mainly to punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials. Of course, because Zhang Mingwei led the troops to fight abroad, the "Ming Pao" he read was all from the past.

In addition, the military sand table is also being perfected to supplement Kaifeng Prefecture and surrounding state capitals.

In short, Zhang Mingwei can say that although he has won a big victory, he has no time to rest and has been busy.

The military meeting is held once a day, and the situation of the day is reported, and then the next day's affairs are decided. It seems that Zhang Mingwei has returned to the workplace of the future generation, and he has to hold regular meetings every day.

On this day, Chen Yongfu, the chief soldier of Kaifeng Mansion, asked Zhang Mingwei a question: "Guogong, there will be a question in the end, we are so prepared for war, what if the first-class thieves don't come?" ”
