Chapter 93: Building a Strong Army

"There are many causes of infertility, and when I learn about this, I will diagnose you again."

Although Li Zhaotong can pay his life on the spot to seek answers from the system, Mu Bin has not yet reached the point where it is worth his life to help, and once this opening is opened, then he will not be at peace in the future.

This is definitely the most popular recipe for the Ming gentry.

Because most of the gentry class were precocious, they did not know how to control themselves when they were young, and when they really needed it, they did not have this ability.

This made infertility common among the gentry.

If he, Li Zhaotong, can help Mu Bin have a future, once it spreads, the threshold of the Li Mansion will definitely be broken.

And when the time comes, will he, Li Zhaotong, use his life to see them one by one?

Peach full network lifetime member, right?

Therefore, Li Zhaotong still wants to wait until Liu Wentai becomes famous, attracts more famous doctors, and researches the send-off prescription that belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and then shows it to Mu Bin.

"That's fine! Thank you so much Li Gongzi. ”

Although Li Zhaotong's answer made Mu Bin deeply regretful, it was better than nothing, Li Zhaotong gave him a hope, and he was able to reluctantly accept it.

……

"Your Majesty, weakening the influence of the officials of the Jiangnan family can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause."

After Li Zhaotong and Mu Bin entered the palace to explain the operation in detail to Emperor Hongzhi, Emperor Hongzhi left Li Zhao alone and began to plan for the "opening of the sea".

"How?"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Li Zhaotong and asked.

Li Zhaotong replied: "Your Majesty, do you know which officials have the courage to plot behind their backs to weaken the imperial power?" And they also unscrupulously steal the grain from the clearance. ”

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head.

This is where he is puzzled, and it is also where he hinted to Xiao Jing that he tortured those officials, but still did not get an answer.

He couldn't understand why those officials were so bold.

"Because Your Majesty, you don't actually have military power."

Li Zhaotong said stubbornly.

He knew that this sentence might cause Emperor Hongzhi's anger, but he had to say it.

If the emperor does not have military power in his hands, then it will be extremely difficult to carry out reforms.

This time, some people are afraid of being killed, but this is only temporary, and it is not impossible for those people to plan a more fierce resistance, or even a rebellion.

Therefore, this must be that the emperor has soldiers in his hands.

As long as the emperor has military power and a strong army in his hands, those people will not dare to act rashly.

"Your Majesty, the little nephew has the courage to think that since the Tumubao Incident, this military power has been completely in the hands of civilian officials, and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, which once commanded the army for His Majesty, has become an ornament.

The royal imperial mind seems to be here, and it is mistaken.

In the past, the governor's office of the five armies was in charge of the army, and the household department and the Ministry of Industry were in charge of the supply of the army, and a relationship of mutual restraint and balance was formed between the civil and military forces.

Nowadays, the Ministry of War is in charge of the army, and the Ministry of Household and Industry is in charge of the supply of the army, and all this power is in the hands of civilian officials.

Although the emperor is still the supreme commander of the army, it is actually very simple for civilian officials to restrain the emperor.

In addition, even if the civil officials are loyal to the emperor, but the civilian officials' respect for weapons storage, horses to put Nanshan recuperation policy, plus the military household system has been seriously destroyed by corrupt officials, my Ming armament, has been very relaxed, in this case, once a rebellion, the Ming Dynasty is in danger! ”

Emperor Hongzhi was silent, in fact, Emperor Hongzhi had long been aware of the problem of slack in armaments.

Since he assumed the throne, he has been reorganizing armaments, strengthening military cantonments, reforming the officer selection system, and appointing meritocrats.

This is also the reason why Ma Wensheng is still running in the northeast and west at a lot of age; This is also the reason why Emperor Hongzhi reopened martial arts; This is also the reason why Li Zhaotong suggested that Li Dongyang protect Wang Yue, and Emperor Hongzhi agreed that Li Dongyang would go to Ganzhou to appease Wang Yue.

But he also knows very well that what he has done can only alleviate the problem, not cure the root cause, and there are still big problems in the military and political affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

Even the Beijing battalion guarding the Beijing division still has a big vacancy.

However, Emperor Hongzhi did not have a solution to this problem, and the issue of military and political reform affected the whole body, and if the interests of any party were not taken care of, there would be a rebellion, and the Ming Dynasty would be even more dangerous.

"Your Majesty, in your hands, you must master a strong army, so that you can suppress the misdeeds, so that those who have ill intentions can dispel the thoughts of misdeeds towards you, the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial power."

Li Zhaotong continued to instigate.

"I don't understand what you're talking about, but where does this strong army come from, I can't do anything about it!"

Emperor Hongzhi said something in his heart with emotion.

"Your Majesty, if it was before, the little nephew wouldn't dare to say that there was a way, but now, the little nephew dares to say that there is still a way."

Li Zhaotong said demagogically again.

"Come on!"

Emperor Hongzhi stood up excitedly, this time, he was really bewitched by Li Zhaotong.

He didn't want to master a strong army, but he had no choice, and now Li Zhaotong actually said that he had a way, so could he not be excited?

Li Zhaotong smiled mysteriously and said:

"Your Majesty, you now have money in your hands, and if you have money, you can have soldiers!"

"Uh-huh???"

Emperor Hongzhi's face changed, he knew what Li Zhaotong had in mind, he was like those traitors who had their heads cut off, and he was also fighting the idea of internal money.

"Your Majesty, don't get me wrong!"

Li Zhaotong looked at Emperor Hongzhi's face and hurriedly explained:

"Your Majesty, the little nephew is different from those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, their idea of beating your internal money is to limit the imperial power, and the idea of the little nephew beating your internal money is to strengthen the imperial power, these two are completely opposite in nature!"

"You're honest, and you dare to speak directly about the idea of beating my insider."

Emperor Hongzhi was still displeased, but his attitude was much better than just now.

When he pulled down his face just now, Li Zhaotong really felt that a "dragon might" was oppressing him, making him almost out of breath.

"Your Majesty, Lao Tzu taught my little nephew a truth, this money, only when it is circulated, can it be called money, you hide it, this is just a pile of stones."

"Stones, hmph, you conjure me up more stones for me to see?" Emperor Hongji was still reluctant.

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured that as long as you are willing to spend money to build a strong army and escort the reform, the little nephew will have the confidence to earn more 'stones'!"

Li Zhaotong swore that after speaking, he felt that the persuasion was still not enough, so he added:

"Your Majesty, the little nephew has the courage to show that most of your internal money is earned by the little nephew for you."

Emperor Hongji: "......"

Emperor Hongzhi is a reasonable emperor, although he was dumbfounded by Li Zhaotong, he also understood that most of his money was earned by Li Zhaotong, and according to Li Zhaotong's ability, he really had the ability to earn him more money.

Therefore, Hongzhi did not get angry, but fell into deep thought, he was thinking about whether he really wanted to listen to Li Zhaotong's slander and use his internal funds to build a strong army.
