In the palace, Zhu Yijun began to have a headache again, this headache began to occur after Li Chengliang's army was defeated by the People's Army, and in half a year, this headache has not subsided.

The doctor said that this is a heart disease, and heart disease also needs heart medicine.

If you want to cure Zhu Yijun's headache, I am afraid that you will have to exterminate the People's Army, and all the generals who support the army and respect themselves will be raided.

The imperial court came up with the permission to allow the gentry and businessmen from all over the country to form an escort team is indeed a good way to quickly expand the army, although the military power is divided some, but there is the great enemy of the people's army, everyone will be in one place.

However, the generals who gradually appeared under the rule of the Ming court made Zhu Yijun feel that the Zhu family's rule over the Ming Dynasty was getting weaker and weaker, even if the People's Army was exterminated, would the Ming Dynasty be like the Han Dynasty, and then there would be a Three Kingdoms struggle for hegemony, and finally the Jin Dynasty would be established.

Since the end of March, Zhu Yijun has known that Daming has three more generals who support their own troops, and the three of them are Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, and Zheng Yuewen.

Originally, Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, and Zheng Yuewen were all people whom Zhu Yijun trusted more, but Zhu Yijun was worried that Li Chengliang would support the army and self-respect, and after destroying the People's Army, he turned against the Ming Dynasty, so he sent Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, and Zheng Yuewen to hold Li Chengliang hostage.

Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, and Zheng Yuewen barely managed to hold Li Chengliang hostage, 900,000 Ming troops, Li Chengliang commanded 500,000, and Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, and Zheng Yuewen combined commanded more than 400,000.

Zhu Yijun thought that as long as Li Chengliang's army and the People's Army fought a big battle, either one would be killed and one would be disabled, or both would be defeated, and then Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, and Zheng Yuewen would wipe out Li Chengliang's army and the People's Army, a very good plan in Zhu Yijun's opinion.

Unexpectedly, there was an accident in this plan, the People's Army was too strong, and easily defeated Li Chengliang's army, and successively defeated Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, and Zheng Yuewen.

Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, and Zheng Yuewen each fled to Yunnan, Huguang, Yangtze River North, and Zhejiang with the remnants of the army ranging from 40,000 to 60,000.

There is no problem in leading the remnants of the army to escape, the People's Army is too strong, they will die if they stay, the key is that Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, and Zheng Yuewen are now listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement, and most of the orders of the imperial court Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, and Zheng Yuewen all listened, but if they want the three of them to return to the capital to resume their lives and divide the troops, the order has passed, and there will be no follow-up.

It can be said that Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, and Zheng Yuewen are now self-respecting and have almost become the emperors of the three regions of Yunnan, Huguang, Yangtze River, and Zhejiang, and even local officials have to obey the orders of the three.

It's not that no minister has thought of using the families of Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, and Zheng Yuewen to make the three obey orders, but Zhu Yijun is sure that he wants to attack the families of the three, and the three of them dare to directly oppose the Ming Dynasty, but as long as the court protects the families of the three people, they can continue to maintain the status quo and work together to resist the People's Army.

Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, and Zheng Yuewen were a role model, and after that, many Ming generals also began to listen to the tune and did not listen to the announcement, and they would not accept anything that harmed their interests.

Of course, there are still many generals in the Ming court who are still loyal to the emperor, and even their comprehensive strength is more than that of the generals who support the army and respect themselves, but now Zhu Yijun can't give an order to deal with these generals who listen to the tune and don't listen to the announcement.

More serious things are happening, after the order to allow the gentry and merchants to form escort teams was issued, the generals of the Ming army who supported the army and respected themselves were also interfering in the matter, and they were ready to use the gentry and merchants in their area to form an escort team as a supplement to the troops, and use the money of the gentry and merchants to expand the army and raise the army.

Three years later, whether Daming can defeat the People's Army is still a question, even if he can defeat the People's Army and exterminate the People's Army, how should Daming deal with these generals who support their own troops.

For these things, Zhu Yijun has been having a headache, ten years before he became the emperor, the Ming Dynasty was not fine, how could it be that in six or seven years, the Ming Dynasty has become like this.

After learning about what happened outside the capital, Zhu Yijun understood very well that the emergence of the People's Army was able to make the People's Army grow rapidly because of the second foundation of the Ming Dynasty: officials and landlords.

The landlords tried every means to get rid of all the land of the common people, and they continued to squeeze those tenants, and the local government did not care about the landlords' oppression of the tenants, and even many officials raised taxes privately.

Thanks to the efforts of the landlords and officials, the common people could no longer survive and had to flee or rebel.

Zhu Yijun understands these things very well now, but what's the use? Is it possible to kill all these officials and landlords?

Officials and landlords are now the second foundation of the Ming Dynasty, without them, the Ming Dynasty may collapse immediately, Zhu Yijun does not dare to attack the officials and landlords now.

It's ridiculous, as the most noble person in the world, as the emperor, Zhu Yijun still has things that he doesn't dare to do, Zhu Yijun doesn't know how many people in this palace are loyal to him.

Zhu Yijun believes that there are still many courtiers, literati and scholars in the world who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and if the generals can be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and have the ability to resist the People's Army, Zhu Yijun will dare to order the Ming Army to attack those officials, and if the officials are gone, new officials can be selected from among the literati and scholars.

However, there is a big problem in attacking landlords, and many literati, scholars, and even officials are from landlord families.

What's more critical is that the Ming army can't stop the people's army now, and many generals still don't listen to the announcement, the Zhu family's rule over the Ming Dynasty has reached a dangerous moment, and the Zhu family will fall into the fate of the Liu family.

Zhu Yijun has a headache, Zhu Yijun wants to solve all the problems in front of him, but where is the solution to the problem?

Thinking about it, Zhu Yijun knew that he had only one way left, and he broke it and stood up.

The Zhu family's country has become like this, Zhu Yijun needs an army that is completely loyal to him, the number can be smaller, but it must be elite, elite to the point that it is like the People's Army, invincible, invincible.

As long as there is such an elite army in hand, plus other people loyal to the Zhu family, no matter what becomes of the Zhu family, Zhu Yijun will be able to rule the world again, and all the rebels will be killed, even if tens of millions of people die for it.

Of course, this is under the premise of defeating the People's Army, and the number of generals who listen to the tune and do not listen to the propaganda under the rule of the Ming Court is increasing, but with the great enemy of the People's Army, everyone can barely still have their hearts in one place, not to mention defeating the People's Army, if they can't even resist it, then everything goes without saying.

To train an elite army loyal to oneself and defeat the People's Army, in order to defeat the People's Army, one can even increase the strength of the generals who support the army and respect themselves.

It was late at night, and Zhu Yijun covered his head and couldn't sleep for a long time.
