"Far away, we won't mention it now, today we will mention some practical things." Fan Tianxiong and Chen Qiyu spoke here successively, and Zhao Zongwu changed his style and said: "This person is still practical, what position he stands in, what height he is at, he should do what he can."

For the current Nine Border Marshal's Mansion, although it is said that it has successfully included the northern frontier and has a group of talented people in charge, the hidden dangers accumulated over such a long period of time cannot be changed overnight. ”

Zhao Zongwu used the name of conquest of the Liukou to take advantage of the situation to grasp the nine-sided town, although in terms of righteousness, the nine-sided town has been under the command of Zhao Zongwu, but not a family, do not know the cost of firewood, rice, oil and salt, many times, it is not a simple control, can be completely solved.

Zhao Zongwu took great pains to call the chief military officers stationed in various towns, that is, to carry out large-scale adjustment and innovation of the army at this stage.

If this were not the case, Zhao Zongwu would never have called the chief military officers of the towns.

Mao Wenlong said with empathy: "Grandpa Guo, what you said is very right, this period of time is definitely an unforgettable experience for the last general. ”

As Zhao Zongwu's eldest brother, Mao Wenlong has a unique position in the Nine Sides Shuaifu, so the more he reaches a certain status, the more free and bold Mao Wenlong by nature, gradually underwent some changes.

For Mao Wenlong, although he has a super high command talent, but more he also needs to take care of it, living in such a big world, who can really be the same?

I'm afraid no one can do that!

"According to the military salary mechanism provided by the Nine Border Marshal Mansion, the military department of Taiyuan Town has been planning the transfer of salaries and silver during this time." is different from the boldness of the past, Mao Wenlong at this time, his face is somewhat dignified.

When it came to Mao Wenlong's current position, the number of issues that he needed to consider had increased exponentially, although the scope of control was far less than his authority when he was on Phi Dao, but at this time, the elite soldiers in his hands had also increased exponentially.

Mao Wenlong continued: "Because there are many key places in the border towns, which makes the scope of our ministry need to control and govern is also very broad, although it is said that in the territory of Taiyuan Town, a corresponding local garrison system has been established.

However, according to the conclusion of the Nine Border Marshal's Office, the corresponding local garrison army in the border town should be under the control and jurisdiction of the chief military officer of the border town, and the required silver salary and baggage should also be uniformly allocated by the general military officer of the border town, which also makes most of the silver salary that should have been used on the way to strengthen the army be wasted on the useless garrison and key points. ”

Different from the military strategy implemented by the Ming Dynasty in the border towns, because Zhao Zongwu established the Nine Border Marshal's Mansion, the military towns along the northern route have formed a dynamic defense system, coupled with the military system that has been gradually solidified, so that the northern frontier can gradually restore stability.

Such a good strategy will inevitably create some conflicts.

Mao Wenlong's words made most of the chief military officers present nod with empathy, because what Mao Wenlong said was also the most distressing thing for them at the moment.

"What Mao Shuai said is also what the last general wants to mention." Man Gui continued: "Grandpa Guo, you must also know in your heart that the unique geographical location of Ningxia Town, because of the problems left over from history, makes many of the key places under the control of Ningxia Town more reasonable through the premise and convergence.

Now because of the unreasonable defense system, Ningxia Town will lose at least five million silver dollars in vain every year, although the last general knows that the premise of the defense line, there are many problems involved, but if this problem can be completely solved, it will be positively affected, not only Ningxia Town, but also the surrounding border towns will bring corresponding changes. ”

As a military general who has followed Zhao Zongwu for the longest time, he knows what kind of temperament Zhao Zongwu is, as long as it is a reasonable and effective question, just explain it straightforwardly, there is no so-called intrigue here.

Standing at the height of Zhao Zongwu, because he knew what he wanted, and he also knew what kind of temperament and temperament every military general and official he gathered around him, so his heart was bigger than he imagined.

Listening carefully to what Mao Wenlong and Man Gui said, Zhao Zongwu nodded and said: "What you said is right, since you mentioned this, then let's talk about the unreasonableness of the existing border town territory of the Nine Border Marshal's Mansion."

Because of the continuous changes in the external situation of the Ming Dynasty, coupled with the lack of understanding of the border towns of the ministers of the DPRK and China, the nine-sided towns at this stage seem to be reliable and stable, but they still leave many hidden dangers. ”

Although the Ming Dynasty said that the country is right, but because of the influence of many factors, there are shortcomings in the Ming system, as mentioned above, the system of the guard in the early days of the founding of the country, is indeed a good policy for stability, but such a system, absolutely not suitable for the later dynasty rule.

As Mao Wenlong and Man Gui said, although the silver salary used by the Ming Dynasty in the border town every year is actually not a small amount, there is a lot of silver salary in the middle, but it is wasted in an invisible place.

Although Zhao Zongwu has used many methods to optimize the corresponding border town system, through the actual investigation and summary in the past two years, there is still at least 25 million silver dollars lost.

If it can solve the existing wear and tear, although there will be many hidden dangers in the early stage, and a very large amount of financial, energy, and material resources will be invested, once the new border town system is completed, then the actual benefits brought by it are definitely an existence that cannot be measured by money.

At the suggestion of Zhao Zongwu, Hong Chengchou, who was beside him, said: "According to the actual investigation of the General Staff Department in the past two years, there are many debatable innovations in the territory of our Nine Border Marshal's Mansion.

The defense line of border towns has been the foundation for maintaining local stability since ancient times.

Every year, at least 25 million silver dollars are consumed because of some ineffective border towns, and if such a batch of silver salaries is used to strengthen the army, the changes will be huge. ”

When Hong Chengchou told the actual loss of silver salary, all the generals present showed a little shock on their faces, although they knew that there would be wear and tear, but they never expected that there would be such a loss.

As Hong Chengchou said, if such a kind of attrition can be used on the way to strengthen the army, it will bring a qualitative leap to the changes in the Chinese Army, which also makes Mao Wenlong's eyes show excitement!

It is necessary to change the defense system of such border towns, and it is necessary to bring about new innovations!
