"It's ridiculous, could it be that only Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou can deal with the Japanese in my big country in China, and the other generals are all a bunch of pigs!" Emperor Longqing was furious, and he said this again, this tone must be continued, if the east wall is demolished like this to make up the west wall, when will it be an end.

Seeing that Emperor Longqing insisted on disagreeing, Xu Jie had no choice but to walk back to the column and stop talking, see what you do!

After taking a few breaths to calm down, Emperor Longqing looked up at Shen Chongming, who was standing at the end: "Shen Aiqing, you are familiar with military affairs, tell me what to do about this matter!" ”

After a few words of dialogue, Shen Chongming already knew the general situation of the matter, and also understood what the emperor meant, so he bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it is really a good idea to send Lord Qi and Lord Yue to the south!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers in front of them turned their heads one after another: "Dare to ask Lord Shen, what is the next step!" Ouyang Jingzhi was a pioneer in a hurry, and when he saw that Shen Chongming didn't give face to Xu Ge in front of so many people, he immediately asked with disdain, Huangkou Xiao'er dared to be rampant.

"I have thousands of miles in the Ming Sea Frontier, how can I rely on two famous generals to be completely stationed, if once the Japanese are in trouble, they can only go out with two people, why spend a lot of money to raise nearly a million troops!" Shen Chongming said with a sneer.

Ouyang Jing was stunned, but he would not admit defeat easily, and sneered: "Lord Shen's words are wrong, ordinary sergeants are ordinary sergeants, and generals are generals, how can they be mixed up, haven't you heard that it is easy to get a general by a thousand armies?" Generals like Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou are, of course, very few! ”

"Hehe, I don't know if Lord Ouyang has heard of the term "many generals!" Shen Chongming also asked with disdain.

"I have a million-strong army in the Ming Dynasty, and there are generals with the same rank as Lord Qi, but why are they the only ones who can resist the Japanese and the Jinghai Frontier!" Two questions in a row. Although it is superficial, it also points to the fundamental problem.

Without waiting for Ouyang Jingzhi's answer, Shen Chongming gave the answer: "The reason why the sea frontier without the two of them is not because our soldiers are weak, but because most of today's generals are greedy for comfort and do not practice tactics, and they plan the back road without waiting for the battle, which makes the few Japanese robbers rampant to this day, this is the reason why the soldiers are raging and the generals are in a nest!" ”

Emperor Longqing nodded with satisfaction: "Well, Shen Aiqing is reasonable, then you have a way to rectify it!" ”

"Your Majesty, according to Weichen's shallow view, now this situation is due to the hereditary military position, and today's guards will receive the grace of the ancestors, and they will have a hungry iron rice bowl waiting for them as soon as they are born, where will they not hesitate to study the martial arts diligently and read the book of soldiers, and devote themselves to studying the way of using soldiers, so that such people are generals, and the harm is very great, therefore, if you want to improve the combat effectiveness of the army, the first thing to do is to select and promote promising people to serve as generals at all levels to rectify military affairs and train soldiers!" Shen Chongming pressed his heart and said excitedly, this is a military reform!

Ouyang Jingzhi's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his fingers and scolded loudly: "Ridiculous, the hereditary military position is the decree of Taizu, doesn't Lord Shen think that Taizu did something wrong back then!" ”

The rest of the people also looked at Shen Chongming in surprise, this guy was a little carried away, and he dared to criticize the law formulated by Taizu, isn't this idle and looking for spray?

Xu Jie also looked at Shen Chongming with a smile on his face, with a hint of contempt in his eyes, he was really still a young man, and he didn't say anything before he spoke, can you touch this kind of thing?

Shen Chongming had already expected that as soon as he said this, he would be waiting for himself to say this, if he was not prepared, he would not dare to say this! "Lord Ouyang's words are wrong, when did the lower official say that Grandpa Tai did something wrong back then!"

"Hmph, Hugh has to quibble, you said that the hereditary military position has made my army have low combat effectiveness, doesn't this mean that Grandpa Tai has done something wrong, what is it? A courtier dares to slander Taizu, today this official will definitely join you! Ouyang Jingzhi didn't give him a chance to quibble at all, and as he spoke, Ouyang Jingzhi turned around and knelt in front of Emperor Longqing: "Your Majesty, Shen Chongming is bold and reckless, openly insulting Emperor Taizu, and committing the crime of great disrespect, I implore the emperor to resend it to revitalize the monarch and ministers!" ”

"Ouyang Aiqing, Shen Aiqing, maybe he didn't mean that!" Emperor Longqing said in a hurry, he is not a fool, how can he not know the harm of hereditary military positions, but Taizu's decree, where it can be changed, it can be changed.

Ouyang Jingzhi didn't let it, he finally seized such an opportunity, how could he easily let go of Shen Chongming: "Your Majesty, Shen Chongming said that the hereditary military position is very harmful, isn't this slandering Emperor Taizu?" If such a great crime is not punished, where is the royal majesty! ”

Ouyang Jingzhi bit this point, and immediately let Emperor Longqing not parry, and couldn't help but blame Shen Chongming in his heart, why did he say this idlely? This makes me how to defend you.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to say!" Seeing that Emperor Longqing was a little overwhelmed, Shen Chongming bowed down and said.

"Aiqing, but please speak up!" Emperor Longqing nodded hurriedly, for fear that others would follow Ouyang Jingzhi's coaxing, in that case, it would be difficult for him to ride a tiger, this kid is clever, maybe there is any countermeasure to resist Ouyang Jingzhi's killing move?

"Lord Ouyang said that Weichen attacked Taizu Fadu, and Weichen never dared to agree with this!" In the first sentence, Shen Chongming denied this incident: "When Taizu commanded the soldiers and horses were strong, many generals were able to fight well, it was because of them that I had the Ming Dynasty, Taizu did not forget the merits of the generals, and pioneered the hereditary military position, so as to reward the meritorious ministers, and according to this law, the establishment of the guard army to be stationed in various places Tuntian self-sufficiency, greatly reducing the tax burden of the people, this kindness of the people of the world is still in the heart!" ”

Unsparing compliments, everyone blushed for Shen Chongming, what did not forget the merits of the generals, when the Ti rode out in all directions, how many meritorious men who followed Taizu to fight the world were slaughtered, and the Lan Yu case alone lasted several years, implicating 100,000 people, most of whom were military generals in the army that year.

Emperor Longqing smiled, as a descendant, even if he blushes, he has to take this compliment! "Well, what Shen Aiqing said is right, but Emperor Taizu has never forgotten those meritorious ministers!"

Seeing that Emperor Longqing agreed, Shen Chongming then turned his words back: "But today's generals have long forgotten the spirit of the ancestors who overcame obstacles for my Ming Dynasty, and they are not diligent in their limbs and grains, and they do not sit and eat and wait for death, and live up to the expectations of their ancestors. ”

Shen Chongming spread his hands and looked back at the stunned ministers, with a questioning expression, as if to say Don't you think so?

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to respond for a while, and Xu Jie's face was also full of surprise, so sharp and sharp.

Emperor Longqing is full of admiration, good boy, this can also be said by you: "Ahem, Aiqing, what do you think Shen Aiqing said!" ”

Everyone was silent for a while, especially Ouyang Jingzhi, who was kneeling on the ground, was extremely uncomfortable, and the emperor didn't let himself get up before speaking, now that Shen Chongming had said it round, it didn't make sense to impeach him again, he was just humiliating, but it was not a matter to let himself kneel here all the time!

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what Lord Shen said is very reasonable, and Li Hua ascended to the sky!" Zhang Juzheng suddenly stepped forward and bowed down and said, as soon as the words came out, Xu Jie looked at him in surprise, what does uncle mean.

"However, except for the Northern Frontier Army, most of the places are now following the ancestral system, and they suddenly start to remove a large number of generals, just afraid that the situation will fall into chaos, so Weichen thinks that this matter must be gradual and gradual, and must not be rushed!" As he spoke, Zhang Juzheng glanced back at Xu Jie, temporarily covering up Shen Chongming's limelight.

"Well, Zhang Aiqing is right!" Long Qing nodded with satisfaction, starting from the overall situation, Zhang Juzheng is indeed a talent, and he must be cultivated well in the future: "Shen Aiqing, what do you think!" ”

"Back to the emperor's words, Weichen agrees with what Lord Zhang said!" As he spoke, Shen Chongming smiled at Zhang Juzheng, who was looking back at him, and then said: "But this matter should be sooner rather than later, as long as the imperial court plans properly, the situation will be stable, and it will not be a big problem to cut off the disadvantages now!" ”

"Hehe, then Shen Aiqing will tell me what you think!" Emperor Longqing asked with a smile, Fang Cai's anger had already flown out of the clouds.

Seeing that everyone was looking at Shen Chongming, Old Master Ouyang, who was kneeling and his knees were numb, stood up lightly, rubbing his knees while looking at Shen Chongming with resentment.

"Your Majesty, isn't it the Japanese raiding and disturbing the coast this time, we can take this as an opportunity to implement accountability, order the generals of the local guard to strictly guard against death, punish the defeated, reward those who win the Japanese invaders, and do not reward or punish those who ensure local peace, so as to mobilize the enthusiasm of generals at all levels to resist the Japanese, so as to prevent them from passively slacking off the war, if the effect is obvious, it can be implemented in various places."

"Well, what Shen Aiqing said is reasonable, what do you think Aiqing!" Emperor Longqing asked with a smile.

Everyone turned their eyes to Xu Jie, wanting to see what he meant, Xu Jie also calculated the pros and cons of this matter, and pondered for a while before bowing his head and saying: "What Lord Shen said is reasonable, and Weichen seconded it!" ”

Xu Jie's eyesight is naturally there, and he also knows that Shen Chongming's method is feasible, and looking at the appearance of Emperor Longqing, he clearly likes it, if he opposes it regardless of the direction of the wind, it will make him unhappy again, and although this method is proposed by Shen Chongming, the specific implementation still depends on the cabinet, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for himself, there is nothing worth opposing, it is better to agree with the boat, and then it will really be effective, and you will have to take it yourself, if there is a problem, It is also possible to push the responsibility on the head of Shen Chongming, the proposer.

Seeing that Xu Jie also agreed, all the ministers bowed down and said, "The ministers seconded the proposal!" ”

"Hehehe, since all Aiqing has no objections, then this matter has been decided, Xu Aiqing, this matter will be handed over to your cabinet, and immediately prepare a document to inform the coastal areas where the woes are rerising, meritorious services will be rewarded and faults must be punished, let them weigh it themselves, and when there is a problem, don't say that the imperial court does not remember the kindness of their ancestors and does not give them a chance!" Emperor Longqing decided the matter in one word, and this matter was completely settled.

"Yes, Weichen will do it when he goes back, and by the way, mobilize people to study what Lord Shen said, and see how his method is implemented!" Xu Jie said with a smile.

These words made Emperor Longqing very satisfied, and the original mustard for him also dissipated a lot, and it seemed that Xu Aiqing was still insightful: "Well, you can do it yourself!" I just want the result! ”

"Yes, please rest assured, Weichen will go all out to handle this matter well!" Xu Jie played the package ticket, and a military reform that was about to sweep the Ming Dynasty began.

Afterwards, the officials who experienced this incident also felt a lot of emotion, to say that the military position is hereditary, everyone understands the drawbacks, but it is a pity that no one dares to touch the ancestral family law easily, for fear of putting themselves in.

Unexpectedly, Shen Chongming brought up this matter in a few words, not only did no one object, but most people still agreed, the reason is that after all, it is still a 'potential' word, everything is possible,
