"Your Majesty, the old and decrepit people, the crippled body, if you can defend the border for the country, the minister will die without regrets!" Yang Dan agreed again, and the others were so angry that their stomachs hurt.

This pig teammate, I really can't take it, I don't agree when I should agree, and when I shouldn't, I have to fill the garlic cloves and let you lead the troops to fight? Do you have a key? Do you deserve it?

Zhu Houxi doesn't care about these, the courtiers he likes are obedient first, and then ability, not to mention that Yang Dan's ability is not bad. And what Zhu Houxi thinks about is the defense of the nine sides, the safety of the capital, some people do not avoid dangers and obstacles, and take the lead bravely, and the Son of Heaven is not only happy, but also happy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you go to the side hall with me and discuss things together."

The conference is not as good as the small meeting, and many people can't tell things clearly.

Zhu Houxi, Wang Yue, as well as Yang Dan, Zhao Jian and more than 20 others, arrived at the side hall. When they came, there were three other ministers waiting here.

The first assistant Yang Yiqing, Wang Qiong, the secretary of the military department, and Zheng Gu, the governor of Shuntian.

Among the three ministers, Wang Qiong's physical condition was the worst, and he even had to be carried, but he still couldn't help but come.

Because what I'm going to discuss today is so important.

"Wang Bingbu, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

Wang Qiong nodded, his hands trembled, and he took out a long letter from his arms and handed it to Zhu Houxi.

"Your Majesty, this is a letter sent to me by Wang Shouren some time ago. We talked about border defense several times, and that's where his heart and soul lie. ”

Yang Minggong's insight!

Zhu Houxi hurriedly took out the letter, and while looking at it, he listened to Wang Qiong's explanation.

As a veteran, he has a deep understanding of the poor border defense situation of the Ming Dynasty.

"There are four places related to the life and death of the Ming Dynasty, and if one is lost, the world will be in turmoil and the court will be uneasy...... These four places are Xuanfu, Datong, Jizhen and Liaodong! Among these four towns, the situation of Ji Town is the most special, and there can be no mistakes......"

Wang Qiong said, Wang Yue asked people to bring a sand table, well, every traverser will probably get something, and he can't let it go!

With the sand table in front of you, it's much easier to speak.

The Ming Dynasty's Son of Heaven guarding the country is really not an empty word.

The capital is only 100 miles away from Juyong Pass, and Gubeikou is only 200 miles.

Directly threatens the heart of the Ming Dynasty.

As soon as Zhu Houxi ascended the throne, the Tartars came once.

Since then, the little pig has had a problem, almost sleepless at night, and when he hears about the side trouble, his head is big. Even if a lot of things have been tossed in the past two years, the authority of the Son of Heaven has increased greatly, and the country's financial resources are not so embarrassing.

But the bad form of border defense has not changed at all.

This is Zhu Houxi's biggest heart disease.

Today, it's time to treat the little emperor.

Wang Qiong analyzes the grim form of the nine sides...... One of the main problems is the loss of Daningwei.

The former Daning Wei was north of Jingshi and west of Liaodong Town, which was both a barrier and a connection between the two towns. With Daning Wei here, the capital has thousands of miles of in-depth defense line, and the capital is actually in the second line position, so there is no need to worry at all.

But without the protection of Daningwei, the passes north of the capital have all become a line, and a breakthrough will put the capital in danger.

Moreover, between Jizhen and Liaodong, there is still no echo and cannot cooperate in combat. The result of fighting separately is that they are controlled by others everywhere, and the entire front is like a pool of stagnant water, which can only be passively beaten.

If you look at the map of the Ming Dynasty, you will find that the head and body of the chicken in the Ming Dynasty are only connected by Shanhaiguan, which is outrageously weak.

Living in such a bad environment, it is strange that Zhu Houxi can feel at ease.

And since Chenghua, the power of Mongolia has continued to go south, filling up the original no-man's land and buffer zone, but the Ming Dynasty is unable to go north, and cannot expel the Tartars, resulting in Hongzhi and Zhengde, the form of border defense is becoming more and more severe day by day, and finally the bad luck has fallen on Zhu Houxi's head.

What to do?

Wang Yue took Wang Qiong's words and asked Lao Shangshu to take a break.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in fact, as early as a few years ago, Your Majesty laid out this matter...... First of all, why do you want to clear the acres of land in Shuntian, pay taxes evenly, and crack down on Haoqiang...... The reason is very simple, only in this way can we increase the local grain production in Suncheon, and be able to requisition more people, especially in the event of war, which is particularly crucial. If you want to protect the safety of the capital, you must use the people's financial resources around the capital. ”

Wang Yue said again: "The next second step is to open the sea in Tianjin!" After the opening of the sea in Tianjin, the materials were gathered and the fleet was thousands, so that the troops and materials of Shandong and Liaodong could be mobilized by sea to form a fist! If the Tartars enter the Kou, they can quickly send troops from the port of Tianjin to support the front line of the Great Wall and assist in the defense of the Beijing Division. ”

"There is a third step, which is to train the new army. The original military household system is no longer usable, and restoring military households and increasing the number of soldiers can only cure the symptoms, not the root cause. ”

"On the basis of re-approving the acres of land, the children of young good families will be requisitioned. With strict training, sophisticated equipment, and the call to defend Sangzi's hometown, we will stimulate everyone's military morale and enhance combat effectiveness. With this strong army as the foundation, there is the capital to fight against the Tartars! ”

……

Wang Yue's explanation has clearly sorted out one of the main lines of governance since Zhu Houxi ascended the throne.

This unlucky little pig is really a mess.

From the day he ascended the throne, Zhu Houxi began a difficult road to survival.

Internally, it is necessary to eradicate Yang Tinghe and the group, and externally, it is to constantly prepare for the strengthening of the army and the frontier, prevent the Tartars from moving south, and protect the safety of the Beijing division, which is something that Wang Yue and Zhu Houxi have long discussed.

They lay out step by step, step by step, carefully.

It's finally harvest time.

When Yang Dan and the others heard this, they were all frightened, my God, this young little emperor and the equally young Wang Yue actually have such deep intentions?

These two boys are terrible, aren't they?

After sighing, Yang Dan bowed down and said: "Your Majesty's far-sighted plan really makes people throw themselves to the ground. It's just that the minister still doesn't understand, what is the intention of letting Wenchen move to the nine sides next? ”

Zhu Houxi didn't speak, but continued to let Wang Yue reveal the secret.

"The new army is not a military household, nor is it a complete conscription, but a kind of compulsory military service for all civilians...... All the people who got the land after the Qing Dynasty were the source of the new army. With a wide range of soldiers, the number of years of service will be reduced. We must always ensure that we have a strong army that is young and capable of fighting. ”

When Wang Yue said this, he smiled indifferently, "Princess, do you say that if this is the case, do you still need the existence of military households?" ”

Yang Yiqing, the veteran military leader, sighed: "The hereditary military households, life after generation, although it was a very good arrangement at the beginning of the country, but after more than a hundred years, there are too many veterans in the army, and the children of the military households who are supplemented are uneven, and the shortage is serious, and it is difficult to even protect themselves, let alone take the initiative...... It would be a great idea to abolish military households and recruit soldiers from all households! ”

With the approval of Lord Shousuke, the whole situation is clear.

Yang Dan, Zhao Jian and others also understood their next task.

To put it bluntly, it is to turn those health centers into ordinary states and counties...... It is said that it is ordinary, but it is not ordinary, because these prefectures and counties are responsible for border defense tasks, and they must be evenly distributed and allocated, and these areas must be turned into military camps to provide a steady stream of strength for the security of encircling the capital.

It's like a play, singing to the most critical moment.

The front is all foreshadowing, whether it can change the entire nine sides, whether it can improve its combat power and protect the safety of the Beijing Division, this is the core of everything.

Zhu Houxi said: "The reason why I chose to start from Jizhen is because Jizhen surrounds Jingshi from east, north, west, and three sides. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Houxi actually said in a pleading tone: "Ladies and gentlemen, my safety has been entrusted to you, are you willing to serve me?" ”

Thump!

Someone knelt faster than Yang Dan, Zhao Jian cried bitterly and patted his chest, "Your Majesty, the ministers have been officials for decades, the country is declining, and the ministers are to blame." His Majesty does not hold the ministers accountable, but entrusts them with heavy responsibilities, and the ministers dare not bow down and die! ”

Zhu Houxi nodded with satisfaction and staged a standard play of monarchs and ministers.

It was only after sending these people away that Zhu Houxi took Wang Yue's hand, "The matter of rectifying Jizhen is the only one you can do, and my life is handed over to you!" ”
