The selection of the chief military officer was clarified, which meant that Zhao Zongwu had further feasibility in mastering the frontier military town.

Hong Chengchou listened to Chen Qiyu's story, how could he not know in his heart, what was the purpose of Chen Qiyu's special words?

If it was him ten years ago, Hong Chengchou would inevitably look indignant, pointing at Chen Qiyu's face and scolding him for being a traitor!

After all, for Daming, such an operation is obviously suspected of subverting local rule, if this kind of thing is ignored, then what kind of things will burst out in the future, I am afraid that I can think of it with heel conjecture.

But because he experienced these things in Shaanxi and under Zhao Zongwu, after having two completely different experiences, Hong Chengchou also had a new experience and understanding in his heart.

Hong Chengchou said: "Grandpa Guo, although such measures need to be gradual and gradual, the rectification of the border towns must be implemented as soon as possible.

As for the many problems exposed by this, many of them are actually in a place where there is no need to delay, and if our army cannot solve them, then we will not be able to smoothly solve the follow-up problems. ”

It was also after Zhao Zongwu's words that Hong Chengchou spoke, and Hong Chengchou's answer also made Zhao Zongwu and Chen Qiyu very surprised, after all, they didn't expect Hong Chengchou to speak like this.

I saw Zhao Zongwu frown slightly and said, "Oh, what is Yanyan's opinion?" ”

Since Hong Chengchou intends to say this, then Zhao Zongwu also has the heart to listen to his explanation, after all, Zhao Zongwu wants to get Hong Chengchou's submission.

"Then the lowly position will be ugly!" Listening to Zhao Zongwu's words, Hong Chengchou first bowed to Zhao Zongwu, and then walked quickly to the war sand table: "As far as the situation in front of me is concerned.

Because of our army, the Liukou uprisings that broke out in Shaanxi and Shanxi were able to show a trend of splitting between the east and the west, among which Luo Rucai and Lao Huihui were represented by Luo Rucai and Lao Huihui in Shaanxi, and they were in a stalemate with Pingliangfu and Gansu Town.

In Shanxi, Wang Jiayin, Wang Ziyong and other large and small leaders are entrenched, among which Wang Jiayin is the king in this process, which makes the situation in Shanxi extremely unfavorable.

However, as far as our army is concerned, it is obviously unrealistic to want to wipe out the Liukou in one fell swoop, so when we want to level the Liukou in Shaanxi and Shanxi, our army must make a corresponding choice.

But no matter what the choice is, this is a very unfavorable thing for the local people. ”

Before the sand table of the war, Hong Chengchou outlined the current situation in detail, so as to pave the way for what will be told next.

As for Hong Chengchou's opinion, Zhao Zongwu and Chen Qiyu are mostly in a state of approval in their hearts, after all, what he tells is the truth.

Seeing that Zhao Zongwu and Chen Qiyu had no objections, Hong Chengchou coughed lightly and said: "Since this is such a decision, plus you, Grandpa Guo, have already clarified the candidates for the chief military officer of the five sides, why can't you hand over all the conquest matters in Shaanxi to the appointed chief military officer?"

Because compared with Shaanxi, the rogues entrenched in Shanxi are more threatening, if Wang Jiayin is allowed to wreak havoc in Shanxi, then the soldiers will be forced to Beizhili and Henan, and I am afraid that things will become more and more complicated. ”

Hong Chengchou's proposal made Chen Qiyu's eyes light up, even Zhao Zongwu was quite appreciative in his heart, because this was the strategic deployment he had thought of before.

Although Zhao Zongwu wanted to drive the Liukou movement so as to use this method to control the border towns, this did not mean that he was willing to watch the Liukou forces wreak havoc on the entire land of China.

If this rebellion can be ended earlier, it can also reduce all kinds of tragic tragedies that occurred at the end of the Ming Dynasty to the greatest extent.

Chen Qiyu obviously didn't think about it so much, why did he preach about the current situation: "Grandpa Guo! This deployment of Hiko's speech is excellent!

Judging from the outbreaks in Shanxi and Shaanxi, if we talk about taking care of one place and ignoring one place, then all kinds of problems will inevitably erupt.

However, if the power to conquer the rogues is also delegated to the hands of the chief military officer, although it is said that the number of soldiers and horses directly under the command of the Wubian Marshal's Office has decreased, on the other hand, our army has more initiative.

With the whetstone of the Liukou, our army can train through one campaign after another, so as to ensure the corresponding soldiers and horses needed by the five military towns. ”

From the perspective of the General Staff Department, what Hong Chengchou and Chen Qiyu said is tantamount to the most suitable deployment arrangement, of course, once such a head is opened, then the Ming Dynasty wants to meddle in the military affairs of the border town, it is definitely a difficult thing.

Zhao Zongwu can also taste the meaning of Hong Chengchou's words, in the final analysis, Hong Chengchou's heart is also scarred by the darkness of the Ming officialdom, so he only wants to do something practical now, something that really works for the welfare of the people.

As for whether this will lead to subsequent hidden dangers, at this stage, there is no need to think about these at all, after all, these things are not a top priority for him.

Originally, Zhao Zongwu wanted to plan the deployment arrangements at this level later, but now that Hong Chengchou has said it, and Chen Qiyu agrees with it very much, then there is no need for him to hold it.

Then he smiled and said: "Since it is conducive to the deployment of pacifying the local rogues, then this duke will definitely support it, although it will lead to too much power of the chief military officer of the border town, but judging from the current situation, it is better to pacify the local rogues earlier."

But at the same time, in order to ensure the stability of the border towns, the Duke will also add a Xuanfu envoy in each border town, with the rank of chief military officer, in order to better control the affairs of each town.

After taking office, the general army of the five sides will start to rebel in various places, and at the same time, in order to solve the rebellion of the rogues as soon as possible, the five border marshal's mansion will be moved to Shanxi in the future. ”

Since it is said that the relevant deployment is released in advance, then Zhao Zongwu must release the corresponding checks and balances, for him, it is enough for him to have a separatist place in the Ming Dynasty, but he does not hope that there are more small separatist forces within him.

In addition, the basic tone of Shaanxi has been set, and if you want to completely control Shaanxi, it is only a matter of time, and let the Wubian Marshal's Mansion move to Shanxi, in order to have more abundant reasons to really control Shanxi.

If you want to truly master the nine sides, then the consolidation of the local area is also particularly important, military affairs, localities, this is a complementary matter, we cannot unilaterally deal with one of them, otherwise new problems will arise.
