After getting drunk all night, the generals began to camp according to the routine of their subordinates, and Li Yuanyin also came down to Li Dingguo's Chinese army tent at Zhu Youlang's signal.

Just as Li Dingguo was wearing the division uniform sent by Zhu Youlang last night, a guard came to report.

"Report, marshal, the commander of the Jinyi guard outside will ask Li Yuanyin and Lord Li to meet."

Li Dingguo put down the sword given by Zhu Youlang, looked at the tent door and said, "Hurry up, please." ”

As he spoke, Li Dingguo seemed to remember something and walked over in person: "I'll go in person." ”

Li Dingguo knows that Li Yuanyin is a permissible person, he is a big celebrity around the emperor, plus Li Yuanyin's duties as a brocade guard, which makes Li Dingguo a little confused, does this Li Yuanyin come with any secret decree of His Majesty.

"Brother, please." Li Dingguo pulled Li Yuanyin secretly.

Hearing this, Li Yuanyin's face changed slightly: "Marshal, Mou is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and you are the generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty soldiers and horses, I hope the marshal can recognize his position." ”

When Li Dingguo heard this, he looked at Li Yuanyin with some puzzlement, but before Li Dingguo could speak, Li Yuanyin said again: "Marshal, I am here to explain clearly to the marshal, the military law of the Ming Dynasty, I hope that the marshal will not violate the military law in governing the army, but Your Majesty has made it clear that from top to bottom, only military law is supreme." ”

Hearing this, Li Dingguo was stunned, and after a while, Li Dingguo bowed to Li Yuanyin and said, "Thank you Lord Li for teaching." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Li Yuanyin immediately avoided and said: "Mou came here for business this time, the marshal should go in and say." ”

"Yes." Li Dingguo said with a serious face: "Then Commander Li, please come in." ”

When the two of them sat down, Li Yuanyin looked at his nose and nose, and Li Dingguo immediately understood Li Yuanyin's deep meaning, he waved his hand at the soldiers in the tent and said: "You go down first, without the order of this marshal, you must not let anyone in." ”

"Yes."

When there was no one in the tent, Li Yuanyin said with a straight face: "Marshal, although you and I are both surnamed Li, but Your Majesty does not like that set of factions and private interests, and even less like to abolish the public or seek personal interests for private reasons, marshal, today's monarch is not a faint monarch, the position of marshal does have its rights, and I want to come here, one is to explain to you clearly the Ming military system, what is the power of the Ming marshal, and what is the situation in the court." ”

The more Li Dingguo listened, the more serious he became, and after Li Yuanyin finished speaking, Li Dingguo immediately replied: "Lord Li, I understand Your Majesty's deep meaning, the matter is the Marshal of the Ming Dynasty, and I will fight with Your Majesty's will." ”

When Li Yuanyin heard this, he nodded slightly, and then took out a book marked with the words "Ming Army".

"Marshal, this is the details of the Ming Dynasty's division, the detailed rules of the army are here, Your Majesty has a word, the general does not know the soldiers, that is not good, I hope the marshal can command well."

After that, Li Yuanyin handed over the book, and Li Dingguo solemnly took the book, and said with a righteous face: "I will live up to the grace of God." ”

At this time, Li Dingguo still didn't understand why Li Yuanyin was here, he was a fool.

After Li Dingguo took the booklet, Li Yuanyin said again: "Daxi is in the past, and I hope that the marshal will give priority to Daming." ”

Speaking of this, Li Dingguo said in a low voice: "Your Majesty does not like to stand outside the court, and the personnel under him are all subjects of the Ming Dynasty, not one person and one force, I hope the marshal can be clear." ”

After that, Li Dingguo explained the relationship between the court from the cabinet to the localities, and then to the governor's palace and the military department and the army, especially the relationship between the new military system and various posts and military law, and finally explained in detail what the marshal could and could not do.

At noon, Li Yuanyin came out of Li Dingguo's military management account, and after Li Yuanyin left, Li Dingguo immediately ordered to sort out the 80,000 roster, and he even compiled the names of the generals into a book.

When the sun set, Li Dingguo came to Zhu Youlang temporarily with a large push of documents.

However, when Li Dingguo came to find Zhu Youlang, Zhu Youlang had already gone out to inspect Wuchang's side, and when Zhu Youlang returned that night, Li Dingguo immediately knelt on the side of the road.

"If I don't meet Your Majesty, long live my emperor."

When he heard that Li Dingguo had been waiting for two hours, Zhu Youlang came to Li Dingguo's side with a little emotion and said: "Aiqing can come back when His Majesty returns, why be tired." ”

"Not tired."

Zhu Youlang intimately helped Li Dingguo up: "Go with me." ”

After that, Zhu Youlang pulled Li Dingguo towards the city tower.

After boarding the city tower, Zhu Youlang handed over the clairing mirror and pointed to the military camp not far away: "Many officials in the court have asked me to go down the river to recover Nanjing, and then carry out the Northern Expedition, what does Aiqing think." ”

"Your Majesty, I have not listened to Your Majesty's orders." Li Dingguo replied loudly without thinking about it.

Zhu Youlang smiled and said, "Aiqing, do you know how much an ordinary soldier spends in a year?" ”

Li Dingguo replied: "Three taels." ”

Zhu Youlang looked at him and said: "In the future, all Ming soldiers will be prepared according to a unified standard and uniformly transferred to their subordinates, not one general and one subordinate, let alone one general and one order can be transferred at will." ”

"I don't understand."

"Nope." Zhu Youlang said softly: "You don't understand, I spend a soldier a year for eighteen taels, this is the basic ringing silver, as well as the other settlement expenses and tax-free profits, etc., as much as possible, a soldier will spend thirty taels in the court, and the minimum is also twenty taels, you must know that not counting the subordinates, just counting the military roster of the Governor's Mansion, there are six capital divisions, six relatives and guards, a total of more than 210,000, and there are also local garrison divisions, there are slightly more than 100,000 people, so a total of more than 300,000 people. ”

Speaking of this time, Zhu Youlang carefully looked at Li Dingguo and said: "Don't think about it, it's worth the cost, but now the Northern Expedition is unrealistic, first, the southwest is uneasy, the rear is unstable, second, the people in the north are unstable, and the most important thing is that the court has not prepared enough supplies." ”

As he spoke, Zhu Youlang said to Ding Siliang: "Bring the map and lanterns." ”

After a while, Ding Siliang asked someone to take a map of the world behind Zhu Youlang, and Zhu Youlang took a lantern and pointed it against the direction of Yunnan: "Today, the court only controls the Erguang region, Yunnan is controlled by Sun Kewang, Jiangxi Huguang is temporarily controlled, and Guizhou is controlled by Sun Kewang, Aiqing looks." ”

Speaking, the lantern was compared to the position of Sichuan: "Wu Sangui is coming from the southwest, there are three people in the south of the Yangtze River, Ma Shanggeng, and Da Ming is facing a double fist attack, how to understand?" ”

As he spoke, he looked straight at Li Dingguo, and when Li Dingguo saw this, he looked at Zhu Youlang with a little admiration and said, "Your Majesty has a high opinion." ”

After that, Li Dingguo took the lantern to Yunnan and then pointed to Sichuan and pointed to Xi'an along the north: "It is a pity that Shu Han is partial to avoid but not to be safe, it is really not moving as the Southern Song Dynasty, Your Majesty, it is not to see the land of Yunnan for a long time, only to go out of Huguang, and to help the Ming Dynasty is the wish of the world." ”

"The future strategy of the Ming Dynasty is to walk with both feet, on land, first in the southwest and then in the northwest, and finally according to Tongguan and guard, by sea, first control the land of Nanyi, then go north to Penghu, and then to the east and then Luo Bo Korea, and finally, Shandong and Henan."

In the end, Zhu Youlang settled in Beijing and said: "At that time, the army will capture the Beijing division to restore the world, and then the reward will be awarded according to the military merits. The latest chapter of "Late Tomorrow's Claw Book House" is free to read for the first time.
