Sun Chengzong only now knew that Tianqi had a very clear and detailed idea, that is, to mobilize the most money and use the most people, and at the same time to formulate the most suitable system, and finally expand the territory to give the people the greatest living space. People, money, systems, and other things have been slowly done, but the army that has opened up the territory and other talents with comprehensive capabilities have not yet been trained. The latest free chapters of the book can be found here.

Sun Chengzong thought for a while and asked: "I heard that the world is very big, how far is the emperor going to open up?" Do you want to go to the ends of the earth in all directions? ”

Tianqi shook his head and said: "There is a saying that how big the noodles are to make how big the bun is, if the people's hearts are higher than the sky, they will often have nothing. After the conquest of Taizu and Chengzu, the Ming Dynasty established a vast territory, and in my hands, it has lost too much of the Nuer Gandu Division in the east and north of the east of the country, and now half of the territory is occupied by the Jurchens, and the rest is abandoned there, and the Wusi Zangdu Division and Shazhou, Hami and other Kanxi Qiwei in the west have also lost control and exist in name only, and the Lancangwei and Chishuiwei in the southwest are inhabited by traitors and aliens∞ saying that they want to expand their territory is just a big talk, in fact, as long as they can restore the old land, it would be good. ”

Sun Chengzong nodded and said: "It turns out that the emperor's heart is not big, and the minister thinks that you want to accumulate strength to connect to Taixi in the west." ”

Tianqi smiled bitterly: "Sir thinks too highly of me, in fact, it is not a good thing that the land is too wide, and the territory of a country should be suitable for its population and system." There are too few people, the land is too wide, the transportation is inconvenient, and the land is too far to be controlled. ”

Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said: "It turns out that the emperor wants to do a solid job step by step, so it seems that the emperor is also building roads and rectifying the army in order to gradually expand the border, gather money and cultivate talents, and also enrich the frontier" A few months The emperor asked Hou Sui and Hong Chengchou to inspect the Great Wall, is it to understand the expansion of the frontier in advance? There are also ministers who heard that Lord Cao Yubiancao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said that the emperor ordered the abolition of the death penalty in order to pray for the blessings of the two princes, does it mean to let the prisoners enrich the border areas? ”

Tianqi looked at Sun Chengzong and said with a smile: "I can't hide anything, sir, I do have such considerations, and the reason for such considerations is to refer to the lessons of the past dynasties. During the Han and Tang dynasties, because the roads were difficult and the alien races were not effectively controlled, the military forces at that time could only fight against the west and north. When the road is not smooth, it is impossible to transport the full amount of food supplies, and only the local garrison can be stationed in the field, which causes the local garrison of the border town to gradually sit on the trend. Dong Zhuo of the Han Dynasty started in Liangzhou, and An Lushan of the Tang Dynasty started in Fanyang, both of which were border town generals at that time, and how to control the border town generals must be considered. ”

Sun Chengzong nodded and said: "It is not easy to use it with confidence and carefully supervise and control, and if you are not careful, you will be in trouble and the country will fall into dire straits." After thinking about it, the only way to let the generals who guard the frontier only lead the troops and ignore the civil affairs, and the food, weapons, clothing and quilts and other materials are not allowed to be under their control, but now the emperor not only attaches importance to the combat effectiveness of the army, but also attaches importance to the army's ability to farm, graze, build roads and build bridges, wouldn't it give the future town and guard the border will have an opportunity? ”

Tianqi nodded and said: "Sir's extreme concern is that this is the reason why I want to separate the Tuntian soldiers from the combat soldiers, I attach importance to the combat ability and production and construction ability of the army, and I want to separate the two so that they can do their own thing, not to let every soldier become an all-rounder who can hold both swords and guns and hoes∝, the border army is in front, and the army of Tuntian is behind, the two sides are not subordinate to each other and supervise each other, plus I also have to separate the local garrison troops from the field combat troops, and let the two monitor each other, so that it will be no big problem." ”

Sun Chengzong thought for a while and asked: "What the emperor thinks has a certain reason, as for the effect, it is difficult to say now, so I won't say it for the time being, and the minister now wants to know who the emperor is going to let go to Guizhou to quell the rebellion?" ”

Apocalypse said, "Lord Gaodi." ”

Sun Chengzong frowned and said: "Gao Di is cautious, and he has no prestige in the army, and the emperor sent him to I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete the task for a while." ”

Apocalypse smiled: "How did you forget, sir?" The main purpose of our counterinsurgency this time is to reorganize the army, what are we going to do so quickly? Besides, the biggest characteristic of Gaodi is obedience, and the lack of prestige in the army has become an advantage here. ”

Sun Chengzong asked in surprise: "If the commander has no prestige, it is not easy to command his generals, how can the emperor say that it is an advantage?" ”

Apocalypse said: "This battle does not need to be won urgently, and there is no need to surprise soldiers, just to fight with the traitors in a dignified manner, and fight for strength and consumption, this kind of boss is just a symbol on behalf of the imperial court, as long as it is not a fool and a madman, anyone can do it." Gao Yiguan is obedient and cautious, which means that he will not make trouble, and most of the things he encounters will be reported and will not make his own opinions. There is no prestige that is even more reassuring, and the generals under his command will only obey the correct orders given by him, and will not obey them to the point of having a personality cult, and such a person is reassuring. ”

Sun Chengzong nodded and said: "When the emperor said this, the ministers are not so angry in their hearts, but it is a little uncomfortable to watch others do things in person and not know where they should contribute." The minister remembered that Hong Chengchou mentioned a while ago that there were millions of troops in the country, scattered in different places, and if the emperor wanted all the troops to go to Guizhou to be rectified, I am afraid it would not be so easy. The minister wondered if he could set up a few places to reorganize the army in other places, and did the emperor intend to do so? ”

Tianqi thought for a while and said, "I have this idea a little bit, but it is not concrete, since Mr. has this consideration, can you tell me where the army can be reorganized?" ”

Sun Chengzong said: "The minister thinks so, after intelligence analysis, the rebels in the south have no possibility of raising a big ang, and the Mongols and Jurchens are the confidants of my Ming Dynasty. It is better to select a suitable place in the three military regions of Liaodong, Jizhou, and Bohai to rectify and train, so that the surrounding armies will continue to come over in turn, and the security of the border defense can be worry-free. ”

Apocalypse said: "Which place is better to use as a training base?" There is no war in this place, I am afraid that the conditions are not as good as those in Guizhou, and only those who have done it with real swords and guns can screen out qualified people. ”

Sun Chengzong said: "This matter is too big, and it is better for the minister to brainstorm." ”

Tianqi thought about it and asked the guards to call the rest of the Military Aircraft Department, the Military Staff Office, and the Military Administration Department, and after everyone had discussed it, they could assign personnel on the spot. When the apocalypse came in the morning, the people in the military affairs institute knew about it, and everyone vaguely knew that they were going to choose some people to go to Guizhou to quell the rebellion, some people were looking forward to being selected to make meritorious contributions, and some people had an indifferent attitude and waited for the results.

Seeing that Zhang Weiying, Gao Di, Wang Yongguang and others, as well as a group of people from the Military Staff Office and the Military Administration Department arrived, Tianqi looked carefully and asked, "Why didn't Ni Yuanlu come?" ”

Wang Yongguang replied: "Back to the emperor, Lord Ni Yuanlu and Ni went to the Bo Academy, and Sun Yuanhua and Mao Yuanyi, who were testing the cannon in the Bohai Naval Region yesterday, came back and asked Lord Ni to discuss the matter of the cannon ship. ”

Hearing Wang Yongguang say this, Tianqi remembered Wang Zaijin's report from the Bohai Naval Region a while ago, saying that the Bohai Naval Region had built a large number of fishing boats and reached mutually beneficial cooperation with Shandong, Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and other provinces. The content of the cooperation is that the provinces will pay for the Bohai Naval Region to build fishing boats in a unified manner, and the fishing boats and fish caught will be owned by the provinces, and the Bohai Naval Region can draw a certain amount of money from them to build gunboats, and everyone will be happy to pay for the gunboats and fishing boats. However, when they were on the coast of Fujian, they were attacked by foreign gunboats living in Taiwan, and the gunboats of the Bohai Naval Region fought several battles with the enemy, and although they recovered some small islands, they suffered heavy losses themselves.

The reason for the defeat of the Bohai Naval Region is very simple, the cannons on their own ships are not as far and accurate as other people's cannons, and their ships are all wooden structures, and the protection ability is not as good as that of foreign gunboats□. Tianqi asked Long Huamin and others, and Long Huamin said that those people in Taiwan are not from the same country as them, and the two sides are still in a state of hostility, and Tianqi thinks that foreigners' technology should be able to deal with foreigners.

Hearing that Sun Yuanhua and Mao Yuanyi were back, Tianqi said: "The matter should not be big, if the matter is not good, Sun Yuanhua should come to the Military Affairs Institute for help, now they are only looking for Ni Yuanlu from the Armaments Department, it may be that they have encountered some small problems and want to solve them and continue to study." A while ago, we discussed the matter of reorganizing and training the army in Guizhou to counterinsurgency, but later we felt that it was unrealistic for all the troops from all over the country to go to Guizhou, so we wanted to set up a few more training sites. At the beginning, Mr. Sun proposed to train in the Liaodong or Jizhou Military Region, which can strengthen the troops in the north, what are your good opinions? ”

Wang Yongguang first praised: "Your Majesty, Lord Sun's ingenuity is excellent, and the minister admires it very much!" Zhang Jing'an and Zhao led the sect to take 70,000 people south, and the defense of the north would not be very empty, and if the Mongols and Jurchens joined forces to attack, although they might not suffer a lot of losses, they would also make the imperial court scramble. Now, if a training base can also be established in the north, the armies of Shandong, Henan, and Beizhili are equivalent to rotating to defend the Beijing Division, how can such ingenuity not be admired? Anyway, the minister is so impressed! ”

Sun Chengzong heard Wang Yongguang pat himself like this, and said a few words modestly in a good mood, but also said to others: "This is just a suggestion from this official, you can say anything different or additive."
