Chapter 30: In the Palace of the Guards

Zhu Qizhen stood on the high platform and said: "After you are all heroes of the Ming Dynasty, whether your ancestors followed Emperor Taizu, expelled the Tartars, and restored China, or followed Emperor Taizong deep into the desert and chased the north. ”

"But the guards in various places, repeatedly lost the hope of the imperial court, there was the Songpan Rebellion before, the savages let me Ming Songpanwei was forced to relocate, and there was the Northwest Rebellion, there were less than 10,000 Tartars, so that more than a dozen guards in the Northwest had to send the Beijing battalion to fight."

"The military department is becoming more and more unaccustomed to attacking the military generals, and Wang Ji, the secretary of the military department, said to me that the guards are no longer enough, and even Pingluchuan should use more Tusi soldiers instead of the guards soldiers."

Wang Ji really said this, but his main purpose was not to say that the guards could not fight, but to recruit Tusi soldiers and spend less money.

Listening to Zhu Qizhen's words, many of the students below were a little ashamed.

Zhu Qizhen is not good at fighting.

But he has a deep understanding of words and feelings.

Zhu Qizhen swept his eyes and knew that the shame of these people was not pretended.

"I know that I am ashamed, and I am saved." Zhu Qizhen said secretly in his heart: "If there is no sense of shame, I really don't know what to do." ”

There is a shortage of more than 1.2 million guards, and after this figure was reported, Zhu Qizhen knew that there was a big problem with the Ming guard's system.

But how to solve this problem.

Zhu Qizhen thought about a lot of ideas, but the more he thought about it, the more he didn't dare to act rashly.

Because this is a major event that shakes the foundation of his Zhu Qizhen's rule.

The more he studied, the more he understood.

What is the core of the Zhu family's rule over the Ming Dynasty? At least from the founding of the country to the present, it has never been the local gentry, but more than 300 guards in the Ming Dynasty, and it is still a hereditary family in these guards. And on top of this Xungui group. There are also the vast number of yeoman farmers in the Ming Dynasty. These two are the foundation of the Ming royal family.

And these people, represented by Xungui, are more important than the yeoman farmers, because the yeoman farmers have few political spokesmen.

Because they are too closely connected to the royal family.

To use knives against these people, civil officials are absolutely willing, because if they are cut off, the emperor will lose his support, an emperor who is high up and has no basic plate, is definitely not Emperor Taizong, this kind of casual can stuff the minister into the edict.

Zhu Qizhen only felt that he was in a dilemma, if he used a knife against them, he would damage his foundation, and if he didn't use a knife against them, they would rot day by day, and the positive effect on Daming would not be as good as the negative effect.

It's just that today's floods, droughts, locust plagues, and the Luchuan war have asked Zhu Qizhen to put this matter aside first.

However, Zhu Qizhen knew that no matter how he used the knife, it would be impossible for him to beat everyone in the Weisuo army to death with a stick. So from it

The people who can be used are what he has been doing.

Zhu Qizhen looked at the attitude of these students, and knew that at least the guards were not rotten to the bones now, even if the guards were rotten to the bones in later generations, famous generals like Qi Long and Yuhu could be born.

Therefore, no matter how unbearable the systemic corruption is at the top and bottom of the health center. None of them can come hard.

Zhu Qizhen said: "I never believed that my Ming Dynasty swept the world's army, and when I came here, I couldn't do it." You are all the elite in the army, I have high hopes, in recent years, the Ming Dynasty famous generals withered, from the Xuande period to the present, there are more than a dozen old generals who have passed away, all of them are the generals of Taizong's hundred battles, leaving them for future generations. ”

"This is a great misfortune for this dynasty, but it is a great prosperity for you, the court is the time to employ people, as long as you have the ability, within a few years, you will be crowned a marquis and worship the generals, and you will be listed in the ranks of the lords, it will depend on you."

Zhu Qizhen said: "Give you a token, if you have any grievances, you can hold on to Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei will be in love, even if you violate military law, before the Ming canonical punishment, you must also eliminate the martial arts student status." Reclaim the tokens. I hope you cherish this identity. ”

When Zhang Fu heard this, he was slightly shocked, and said secretly in his heart: "Where is this martial arts, it is clearly a jinshi." ”

The Ming Jinshi is the most noble and has many privileges, for example, the judiciary cannot punish crimes, and if you want to punish crimes, you must first eliminate your student status. At the local level, local officials can be met directly.

Wait a minute.

It's just that a lot of their power is based on convention, but martial arts students are directly given by the emperor.

In this way, even many generals who are already on duty in the army want to compete for a martial arts degree.

Zhang Fu is very cautious politically, but caution does not mean that he cannot understand. At this moment, following Zhu Qizhen's train of thought, he pondered carefully, and suddenly his breath tightened. Secretly said: "Opportunity." ”

If Zhang Fu had been before, he might not have cared about this opportunity.

But Zhang Fu at this moment is different from before.

Because Zhang Funa's concubine seems to be pregnant.

What makes Zhang Fu very happy, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest. Zhang Fu always thought that he was going to be the heir, and he was not very interested in many things.

But that's no longer the case.

He had to prepare for his future son.

But he knew that he would never survive to see his son grow up. No matter how famous he is now, people go to tea and bright, Zhang Fu has seen a lot of such a situation.

Just look at Xue Lu and know that Zhang Fu didn't dare to slack off when he saw Xue Liu. But as soon as Xue Lu died, look at the Xue family again, what it was like.

Therefore, he must leave his son with a sufficient political legacy.

But when his son grows up and has done something in politics, his original subordinates are probably gone. It's something he's always thought about.

In history, Zhang Fu stayed on this life

In the civil fort, Yingzong was greatly ashamed and raised his son with Xianzong. Coupled with the decline of the Ming Dynasty, this has made the Zhang family the head of the nobles for generations.

But what Zhang Fu sees now is that a generation of new people is replacing the old. How many lords are there during the Taizu period, even after King Zhongshan, it doesn't mean that they will be imprisoned.

Zhang Fu suddenly decided to focus on martial arts in the future, these students are only twenty years old, twenty years later, it is the year they should fight, but it is his future son, and it can be regarded as someone to support.

Zhu Qizhen didn't think about it, Zhang Fu thought so much. He gave a lecture, and after coming down, he said to Zhang Fu: "In the future, select the first 100 students and serve in front of the palace every morning. ”

When Zhang Fu heard this, he immediately said: "On behalf of this group of stinky boys, thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Don't feel that it is no good to hold a service in the court.

Although they worked, it was the Han general who was on duty in the Golden Palace before, but they were just human beings. But Zhu Qizhen just let them be familiar with the ministers of the court. Even familiar with the decision-making of the imperial court.

Between military generals and civil servants, there can be no favoritism. Now Zhu Qizhen obviously feels that he is in the command ability of the first level of strategy. On the contrary, civilian officials are above military generals.

Among the generals, Zhang Fu is the only one who can make strategic arrangements for the Ming Dynasty. Among the civil officials, Yang Rong is the best in this regard, and even loves Zhang Fu. As for Yang Shiqi, he is not bad, there was Yang Shiqi who advocated Xuanzong's pro-government Han Shu people.

But among the generals, there are generals, and there seem to be one or two veterans who can do it. But only Zhang Fu provided advice on Daming Strategy.

Zhu Qizhen wanted to establish a complete set of military training institutions. Naturally, we have to find ways to try various methods.

Zhu Qizhen discussed martial arts subjects with Zhang Fu and nobles at all levels. They are the art of war, actual combat, foot combat, horse warfare, water warfare, firearms, and city attack and defense. The night is not closed. There is also "Daming Ancestral Teachings".

Before this, Zhu Qizhen and Zhang Fu had discussed many times, and Zhu Qizhen mainly put forward the idea of discipline refinement, that is, to refine one thing to the point that it could no longer be refined. Under Zhu Qizhen's proposition, Zhang Fu formed the current teaching system.

However, just when Zhu Qizhen was talking to Zhang Fu and others.

Wang Zhen suddenly came in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, Guangxi is patrolling Zhu Jian's urgent military situation. ”

Zhu Qizhen was taken aback when he heard this, he knew that if it wasn't for a very urgent situation, Wang Zhen would never dare to break in at this time.

When it comes to Guangxi, Zhu Qizhen's first thought is the chaos near Datengxia, Liu Pu has arrived, although there has been no good news for a while because of the difficult mountain road, but these chaos has been controlled.

It's only a matter of time before it's resolved. Even if there are repetitions, it will not make Wang Zhen like this. Zhu Qizhen's heart moved, and said, "But Annan? ”
