Chapter 537: The thief and slave are united

Qin Liangyu naturally knew the purpose of entering Beijing this time, and Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao and others talked about it many times. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

She also knew the importance that the emperor attached to the southwestern provinces, and thought for a moment and said: "Back to the emperor, Shaanxi. West, IV. Chuan, expensive. State, Gan. Su, Ning. Xia, Qing. The six provinces of Haihai, with a total of nearly 200,000 troops, and nearly 200,000 provincial soldiers, are full of morale, sufficient silver and grain, and the military department has an overall plan, and the ministers also have this careful deployment. Governor Li's matter should be an accident......"

Zhu Xu could hear that Qin Liangyu's confidence was very high, which made him a little relieved about the southwest, but Li Jingbai's matter was definitely not an accident, and Jin Yiwei couldn't find out what he was doing, but he was afraid that there was really a master behind him.

Qin Liangyu's playbook Zhu Xu read it several times, thought about it, and changed the conversation and said, "What do you think about military reform?" ”

Qin Liangyu looked at Zhu Xu, didn't hide it, and said directly, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that my Daming Wei was chaotic before, and his combat power was sluggish, so he should be innovated." The military guards pushed by the Ministry of War, the ministers thought that it was okay, to get rid of the old drawbacks, to get rid of the sinking, so that the army could have stronger combat power and protect the safety ......of our Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Xu listened to the non-stop jaw head, the military guard system, the infantry is the mainstay, and the cavalry is complementary, this should be an attitude of the Ming military.

According to Zhu Xu's idea, he also wanted to equip each army with a heavy artillery battalion, but the current artillery could not be used in the field, so it could only be released first.

After Qin Liangyu stopped, Zhu Xucai tapped his fingers on the table, and said in a flat tone: "Well, since Old General Qin can agree, there should be no problem with the others...... In addition, there are still some voices that hope that I will send the prison army to various places to supervise the army, what do you think? ”

Qin Liangyu frowned, she hated the internal prison very much, although since the emperor ascended the throne, the inner prison has been recalled to the palace one after another, and there are very few internal prisoners sent abroad, and few people really like the 'evil dog' that can be released from the Wanli period.

But this also involves the emperor's control of the army, and the court's fear of the local generals, Rao is Qin Liangyu must also answer cautiously and carefully.

Qin Liangyu was silent, this question is not easy to answer, and it will do no harm to the reform of the Ming Army. If you don't agree or are vague, not only the emperor, but also the army will be offended to death, which will backfire.

Zhu Xu understood, nodded and said: "I know, I won't agree to send the inner eunuch out of the palace, do you have any other way to dispel the doubts of the military department and the imperial court?" ”

Qin Liangyu's expression eased slightly, and after hearing this, he thought for a while, then raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that you can send people who know the art of war among the nobles into the armies and serve as deputy commanders-in-chief. ”

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect this.

This noble is noble and prominent, but in fact, his status is only a little less embarrassing than that of the clan, and he can't advance or retreat, if he is sent as a 'prison army', he has neither the strong aura of the inner prison, nor the foundation of the army to divide one side, he is indeed a very suitable candidate.

However, this is only Zhu Xu's view, the courtiers may not be willing, in their opinion, this may make the relatives sit big, which is not in line with the 'ancestral system' of the Ming Dynasty.

From the bottom of his heart, Zhu Xu does not approve of this kind of 'supervising the army', which will make the leading generals feel uncomfortable and be afraid of doing things, which is not a means to strengthen the army.

"Is there anything else you want to play?" Zhu Xu pressed and didn't mention it, and changed the topic.

Qin Liangyu raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, all ethnic groups in the southwest live together, and the situation is complicated. ”

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, and said: "This is very good, I will order the six departments to discuss, and I will also give the governors of the six southwestern provinces the right to cheapen." ”

Qin Liangyu's heart moved slightly, the emperor in front of him was sensitive and wise, and he was able to accept advice, he was really a Ming Jun!

Zhu Xu asked a few more words, and finally asked Cao Huachun to lead him to see Concubine Liu.

Zhu Xu sat on the dragon chair, knocked his fingers on the table, and said to himself, "It seems that Sun Chengzong and Shen Yongmao have indeed put a lot of effort into it, Qin Liangyu basically agrees, and others should not have many opinions......

"Who's down there?" Zhu Xu turned his head to look at Liu Shimin.

Liu Shimin turned around and said, "Your Majesty, it's Yang Sichang, he is already waiting outside the palace." ”

Zhu Xu's eyes narrowed, and he immediately said, "Pass him in." ”

Yang Sichang, this person Zhu Xu is still very praised, he has the ability and means, and his strategic vision is extremely high. In history, Yang Sichang's 'ten-sided net' was indeed very powerful, and the direct result was that Zhang Xianzhong, who was beaten, surrendered, and Li Zicheng only had eighteen horsemen left to hide and dare not come out. That is, it coincided with Huang Taiji's entry into the customs and the troops entered the Beijing Division, Chongzhen urgently transferred troops back to Beijing to escort them, giving them a chance, otherwise it would be difficult for Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong to rise again.

Yang Sichang walked in from the outside, wearing a three-grade court dress, with soft facial features and a calm demeanor, like a middle-aged Confucian student, without any military color, his eyes were blazing, and he raised his hand and bowed and said: "Minister Yang Sichang, see the emperor!" ”

Zhu Xu was clear, Yang Sichang still thought that he was a civil servant, smiled slightly, and said: "Pingshen, Yang Qing, the days of coming to the capital are not short, but what do you think?" ”

Yang Sichang's expression was calm, and he was quite worried in his heart, the emperor in front of him was not Wanli, let alone the apocalypse, he looked up and said cautiously: "Back to the emperor, the atmosphere of the capital has changed, and it is no longer the quagmire of the past, all thanks to the emperor's sage." ”

Zhu Xu blinked, he was secretly applauding the word 'mire' just now, this Yang Sichang was a sycophant in a blink of an eye, and he was so red. Bare.

Zhu Xu's expression did not move, and he said directly: "What do you think about the matter of the Soldier Palace?" ”

The so-called military palace is basically to decompose the military power of the military department, and the current military department is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, from recruitment, personnel, and deployment, the real one-stop, the power and responsibility are too large, and it really needs to be decomposed and checked.

Yang Sichang has been in Beijing for a long time, and has made a detailed understanding of the military palace, which is actually roughly equivalent to the five armies in the past. The military hall is responsible for commanding and training, and the military department is responsible for dispatching ......"

As soon as Yang Sichang opened his mouth, it was like opening the chatterbox, and he said the time of a stick of incense before stopping.

Zhu Xu heard a lot of fresh and practical methods from his words, and said appreciatively: "It's very good, I am very inspired." Well, what do you think the southwestern provinces need to deal with in particular? ”

Yang Sichang did not hesitate this time, and said directly: "The minister believes that the chaos in the southwest lies in the disaster, and the difficulty of the imperial court lies in the fact that the whip is beyond the reach of the whip. ”

This should be a rough version of 'Ten Sides Net', Zhu Xu said: "Do you have any other ideas?" ”

Yang Sichang couldn't figure out Zhu Xu's purpose, pondered for a while, raised his hand and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the capital, especially the imperial court, is too relieved about Liaodong. ”

Zhu Xu's expression moved slightly, and he said, "What do you say?" ”

Yang Sichang knew that his words might offend the emperor or the adults in the court, so he still said with burning eyes: "Your Majesty, the thieves and slaves have merged with Horqin, with more than 60,000 troops. Xia, Yu. Lin and other towns are threatened, and eastward expansion can force Shen. Yang, no matter what, it is still a danger that cannot be underestimated for my Ming Dynasty, and the minister believes that the emperor and the court should not take it lightly, and should try to completely cut it off to protect the ......"

Zhu Xu showed a hint of approval on his face, and said, "You shouldn't have finished talking yet, continue to speak." ”

Yang Sichang saw that the emperor was not displeased, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said: "Yes, the general trend of Jiannu has gone, and it is difficult to make a comeback, unless there are other forces to help, or...... I'm self-defeating! ”

Zhu Xu's eyes were slightly gloomy, and his expression did not move.

Yang Sichang glanced at Zhu Xu and said: "The minister is worried that Jiannu may be inciting civil unrest, and the slaves will be together in order to make a comeback." ”

The corners of Zhu Xu's eyes jumped, his fingers tapped slowly on the tabletop, and his eyes flickered slightly.

Pacify Liaodong, is a Ming heart booster, greatly encouraged the Ming Dynasty up and down the decadent morale, Yang Sichang said earlier, not the court or his carelessness, but deliberately, do not want to frustrate the Ming Dynasty reform and forge ahead.

The four words 'slave and coward are compatible' struck hard in Zhu Xu's heart.

Nu refers to Jiannu, Huang Taiji. Kou refers to the thieves who are in civil unrest and are in turmoil.

Zhu Xu almost subconsciously turned the two against each other before, and it was impossible to unite, but Yang Sichang's words woke him up. History is already very different, such possibilities are constantly increasing, and Li Jingbai's matter may not be so simple!

Yang Sichang saw that the emperor had not spoken for a long time, and his heart was uneasy, he didn't know if this 'vote' emperor could accept it, if the emperor didn't accept it, then he would probably have to go back to his home before he took office.

It took a long time for Zhu Xu to turn his head to look at Yang Sichang, and said with his head bowed: "You reminded at the right time, after arriving at the Military Intelligence Department, you must plan and deduce in detail, make reasonable arrangements, and make arrangements...... Also, you can come and see me at any time. ”

Yang Sichang's heart fell to the ground, raised his hand and said, "The minister obeys the order!" ”

After talking for a while, Zhu Xu watched Yang Sichang leave the imperial study, and the Military Intelligence Department, that is, the General Staff, changed its name, and he hoped that Yang Sichang could train a group of qualified and excellent officers to deal with the new situation that the Ming Dynasty was about to face.

"The one below is gone,"

Zhu Xu took a sip of tea and said, "Come on." ”

Liu Shimin responded and said, "Yes." ”

Zhu Xu looked out of the door every day, and the sky was bright.

For the Governor's Yuan, Zhu Xu has always had scruples, in the past, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was a sharp weapon of party struggle in the capital, if the local government also came like this, the party struggle in the court was gone, but I was afraid that the local government would not stop and fall into internal friction.

However, Sun Chengzong and others are very optimistic, whether the Governor's Yuan is abolished or established in the local area is a matter of the imperial court's words, and if it is implemented well, it is not a good way to crack down on corruption and curb people from doing things superfluously.

King Jing had been waiting in the side hall for a long time, and as soon as he heard the announcement, he immediately walked over quickly.
