The red glow receded, and the warm sun rose in the east. The decaying Shouwang Mansion is rejuvenated.

At the same time, Zhu Xuankun, the king of Shiquan County, Zhu Zhiyi, the king of Neijiang County, Liao Daheng, the governor of Sichuan, Liu Zhibo, the governor of Sichuan, Chen Qichi, the chief of the feudal division and the west of Sichuan, Long Wenguang, the deputy envoy of the Sichuan military garrison, Fang Yaoxiang, the governor of the Chengdu Prefecture, the governor of the Chengdu Prefecture, the governor of the Yan Imperial History, the Chengdu general sentence Wu Jishan, the upper patrol Dao Ge Qizuo, the Luzhou magistrate's office Baoning Tong sentenced Gao Dengtai, the general of the northern Sichuan army Gan Liangchen, the deputy general Zhang Zuokai, the general Jia Denglian, Du Si Luo Dajue and other Shu clan relatives and civil and military, the right chief of the Shu Wangfu and the prime minister of the government affairs Zheng Anmin, Li Chongwen and Hong Qihui, copywriters and vice premiers of the Shu Palace, Cheng Xiangfeng, copywriter of the Shu Wangfu and director of the General Office of the Prince, Shu Guoping, chief of the general staff of the Protector Army, Sun Hong, director of the Protector Army, Wang Kunshan, Minister of Logistics of the Protector Army, Wu Tai, First Deputy Minister, Song Zhenzong, commander of Luzhou Wei and commander of the Chongqing Military Region of the Protector Army, Xu Hanqing, the new head of the Seventh Regiment of the Protector Army, and other officials of the Shu Prince's Mansion and generals of the Protector Army, were divided into two shifts according to the civil and military grades, with excitement, expectation, anger or uneasiness, and gathered in a queue on the platform of the Shouwangfu Carrier Palace. Waiting for Zhu Pingjian, the son of Shu who disappeared from the public for more than ten days, to appear.

The ministers of the clan all know that today's court meeting is just a formality.

During the 20-day meeting of the ministers, all the topics were put on the table for repeated discussions, arguments, and even slapping the table and breaking glasses. During this period, Shizi and Miss Luo constantly controlled the process of the meeting and the direction of the meeting through the office.

Now, all the conclusions have been formed, and they are waiting for the order of the prince to immediately push it out in Sichuan. As for the imperial court, of course it should be played, but now the situation is urgent, and I can't wait for the holy decree to come, so I have to cut it first and then play it.

After a high-pitched military trumpette, the guard of honor appeared. Zhu Pingjin and Luo Yuhong were dressed in gorgeous costumes, and they were on the throne of the high platform. Everyone worshipped, and after the four bows, Liao Daheng, the governor of Sichuan and the governor of Sichuan, stepped forward and said on behalf of the ministers:

Emperor Taizu Gao left the "Emperor Ming Zu Xun" to warn future generations that the dangerous vassal country "In case of emergency, its guards and guards will be dispatched from the vassal king." ”

Sichuan is located in the southwest border, and the imperial army is beyond the reach of the whip. Now that thieves and bandits are rampant in Sichuan, it is the time when the country's survival is in danger, so on behalf of the Sichuan officials, he asked Zhu Pingjin to assume the responsibilities entrusted by his ancestors and command all the armed forces in Sichuan in the name of the prince of Shu.

After Liao Daheng finished playing, Shi Zheng Anmin, the right chief of the Shu Palace, immediately came out to argue:

When I heard that Kaifeng was besieged, it was the king of Zhou, who was in armor and horses, sitting in the city wall, and commanding the army and people of the whole city in a unified manner, so that he repelled the attack of the thieves twice. If King Zhou "cares about the words of the villain and traitor, and is afraid of his hands and feet, then Bianjing will be broken!" Therefore, he asked Zhu Pingjin not to worry about the clamor of the traitorous ministers and mediocre ministers in the imperial court, and just "do it boldly!" ”

Zheng Anmin also said that if there are traitorous ministers in the court who frame the prince of Shu with the matter of the vassal king's soldiers, he will fulfill the rights of the minister of the vassal state in accordance with the "Emperor Ming Zu Xun", and move to the Governor's Mansion of the five armies of the Wenjing Division with the guards to ask for the traitorous ministers, and punish him for the crime of violating the ancestral system!

Before Zheng Anmin's voice fell, one person had already stepped out of the queue to play, and it was Liu Zhibo, the governor of Sichuan.

Liu Zhibo said loudly, when the plague broke out last year, he went to Renshu, and he heard and witnessed it for a year, and was full of stimulation. Now he finally understands that an important reason why things in the world have collapsed to the point where they are now, in addition to the traitorous Ying Dynasty, is that the descendants of the Ming Dynasty violated the ancestral motto of Emperor Taizu Gao that "a word cannot be changed", and deprived the vassal kings of various places of the right to defend the land.

Liu Zhibo believes that it is not only necessary to take the lead in restoring the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty in Shu, but also to promote it throughout the country. For this reason, he has contacted the Imperial Shi Ge Qizuo of the Upper Patrol Road, and jointly sent a letter to the emperor, allowing the vassal kings of various places to guard the territory. The vassal king's soldiers defend the land, protect the country, protect the family, and protect the body, and will definitely achieve practical results.

Liu Zhibo said, now that the government is controlled by a group of traitorous ministers and mediocre ministers, this letter will definitely cause an uproar in the court, so the two of them have made up their minds to kill themselves for the country, and ask His Royal Highness the Prince of Shu to complete their lives and clear their names!

……

The scheduled plot of today's court meeting is that Liao and Zheng spoke, and the ministers praised the peace in unison, and then Zhu Pingjin repeatedly resigned, insisting that he would not accept it, and the final finale was performed by Jia Denglian, who actively asked to join the organization.

If the opinions of the important ministers present are unanimous, Jia Denglian will draw his sword and kill himself, forcing Zhu Pingjin to die;

If someone made a noise, Jia Denglian would jump on the royal platform and aim the wooden sword coated with silver powder at Zhu Pingjian, still forcing him to die, creating the illusion that Zhu Pingjin was being persecuted by his ministers.

For the honor to take on this glorious and arduous role, Jia Denglian was so excited last night that he was incoherent, and finally under the reminder of Yang Weidong of the Chinese army, he came to Liao Daheng who came by order to say a nondescript famous saying: "Keep Danqing and sweat green"!

Liu Zhibo did not play according to the routine, not only disrupted the plot arrangement, robbed Jia Denglian's role, and seemed to force everyone to jointly write a book.

Liao and Zheng didn't know whether Liu Zhibo's performance was arranged by Zhu Pingjin temporarily, and they were dumbfounded for a while.

Zhu Pingjin was also dumbfounded.

It is impossible for Zhu Pingjin to agree to Liu Zhibo's proposal. Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral training is absolutely rigid, how to use absolute rigidity to adapt to the changing current situation? No way!

Letting the vassal kings all lead the troops is not the result that Zhu Pingjin wants.

Take history as a mirror. The Eight Kings Rebellion in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty was because the feudal kings in various places held military power. Zhu Pingjin only wants to use the political legacy of his ancestors, but he doesn't want this double-edged sword to hurt himself.

But if Liu Zhibo is in the book, it will be of great benefit to Zhu Pingjian. Because he accused Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants of violating the ancestral system, it was tantamount to publicly accusing Zhu Di and his descendants of the throne of being illegal. This kind of accusation is much more serious than Hai Rui's book scolding Emperor Jiajing for being shameless!

"It's not that you don't report it, the time has not come!" Zhu Pingjin made a decision in his heart. He looked at Liu Zhibo and Ge Qizuo bowed their heads suddenly, scolded secretly, closed his lips in a smile, and resolutely did not say anything.

The prince didn't speak, Futai and Changshi didn't speak, and the other officials found that the situation was different, and the audience was suddenly silent and fell into embarrassment. Fortunately, Zhu Xuanyan, the old king of Shiquan, had rich experience in the struggle and came out to save the scene in time.

He first thumped the dragon's head cane and successfully diverted the attention of all the personnel. Then he threw away his crutches exaggeratedly, knelt at Zhu Pingjin's feet, and pleaded with Zhu Pingjin with emotion for the sake of his ancestors and the people, and bravely came out to lead them to deal with the crisis. When everyone saw it, they hurriedly knelt down and shouted at the soldiers of Shu Shizi.

The scene was staged to this point, and Zhu Pingjin had no choice but to stand up and say a few words.

He first highly praised Liu Zhibo and Ge Qizuo for their loyalty, and then changed his words and warned him not to be rash and to think about everything in the long run. Seeing that Liu Zhibo got up and was eager to argue, Zhu Pingjin immediately shifted the topic to the right of the warden that the ministers cared about.

Zhu Pingjin scolded the ministers with a fierce voice, saying that the imperial court Zongfan regulations strictly prohibit the vassal king from leading the army, saying that he was young and not doing anything, saying that the situation in Sichuan was too complicated, and even scolded the ministers for wanting to kill him and let the prince cut off the heir!

Naturally, the ministers resolutely asked again, and Zhu Pingjin resolutely refused again; The ministers resolutely invited three times, and Zhu Pingjin was no longer polite. So Zhu Pingjian's ancestor was brought out again, plus a yellowed booklet "Emperor Ming Zuxun".

The drums sounded in unison, and Zhu Pingjin and Luo Yuhong led the clan officials to bow. Since then, the leadership of all armed forces in Sichuan has been transferred from the government to Zhu Pingjian, the son of Shu.

At the end of the ceremony, everyone returned to their places. Liao Daheng hurriedly seized the time to put on today's first transcript with substantive content: "Ordered to Calm the Thieves and Eliminate the Evils and Revitalize the Army".

Although the name of this sparse is long, there is only one theme, that is, through the reform of Sichuan's military system and the integration of military resources, to build a powerful military force that dominates the world.

……

In times of war, the military always comes first. All domestic and foreign policies must serve the overall situation of military struggle; The success of domestic and foreign policies can only be judged through the results of military contests.

Sichuan's military structural reform and the thorough integration of military resources have been in the making for a long time. On the surface, the excuse is "to keep the enemy out of the country," but secretly it is to "fight across the Yangtze River and liberate the whole of China."

Zhu Pingjin's original plan was to use his victorious record in the battle on the right bank of the Qujiang River to convince Qin Liangyu, the most prestigious military leader in Sichuan and the heroine of the Ming Dynasty. After the old lady clearly expressed her support, he used Liao Tycoon's right to patrol Sichuan to threaten, divide, and win over the heavyweight Sichuan generals, and finally succeeded in his silent treacherous scheme.

However, Wang Chaoyang's mutiny in Baoning Mansion, and the local tyrants lost no time in taking advantage of the fire to rob, which not only disrupted Zhu Pingjin's step-by-step schedule, but also gave Zhu Pingjin an extremely clear warning:

Time, not on his side!

Zhu Pingjin must complete the great task of integrating Sichuan's military forces while suppressing bandits in northern Sichuan, that is to say, he must make changes while fighting. At the latest, in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the internal enemies in Sichuan were completely pacified. Then free up his hands and transfer his forces to Chuang Xian or Chongzhen's side.

But in the early days of the Boryeong Conference, the efforts of Zhu Pingjin and Liao Daheng caused a storm.

Liu Zhibo, the most resolute opponent, believes that the army is an important weapon of the state; The distinction between civil and military is a court code. Although the Protector Army was brilliant, it was not the army of the imperial court. In order to reform and integrate, we can only integrate the national defense army into the official army, and not vice versa.

Liu Zhibo's proposition did not mean to oppose Zhu Pingjian's soldiers, and his original intention was to let the Protector Army wear the yellow coat of the imperial army's economic system in form, because he was unwilling to turn his face with the imperial court, and he was unwilling to bear the charge of rebellion, and at the same time, he also had the consideration of integrating the food and salary of the Protector Army.

Zhu Pingjin weighed it again and again and resisted the urge to dispose of Liu Zhibo. As a counterattack to Liu Zhibo's proposal, he recruited Ma Gan, the deputy envoy of the Sichuan military garrison, from Bazhou to Baoning to attend the meeting.

Sure enough, Liu Zhibo's proposition was violently attacked by Ma Gan.

Ma Gan excitedly described the situation of the Battle of Yuxi to Liu Zhibo and the other participants. Before the war, he and Yang Mingshi, the supervisor of the same discipline, promised that after the Battle of Yuxi, the soldiers could freely choose to join the Protector Army.

Why did the soldiers ask to join the Protector Army? Because the Protector Army divided the land and the land; Soldiers' salaries are paid in full; Whether life or death, there is something for the family.

Ma Gan clearly pointed out that it was precisely because of this promise that the officers and men of Zhang Ying were able to burst out with an unprecedented tremendous combat strength and were able to hold on to their unrelenting efforts under the siege of several times the enemy. Because the soldiers are not fighting for the imperial court, but for the survival of themselves and their families!

Ma Gandao, without this promise, Zhang Bu would have collapsed a long time ago, and the victory of Yuxi would not have been possible at all. The reason why the soldiers besieged the main general Zhang Zuokai after the war was because Zhang Zuokai gave the order to burn Yuxi Town. The soldiers thought that this fire had burned themselves and Lord Yang who had promised them, so they made irrational moves in a fit of excitement.

Ma Gan sternly warned the participants that if the Protector Army was reorganized into an official army, if the officers and men did not understand, not only would the officers and soldiers be likely to mutiniate and repeat the mistake of the Boryeong Mutiny, but the Protector Army would also have a fluctuating morale, resulting in passivity in the front-line war. Which is more important, you should think carefully!

The vivid example of Yuxi's victory and Ma Gan's stern warning brought most of the wavering people to their senses, and Liao Daheng and Zheng Anmin's side immediately gained the upper hand.

The comedy is that the person who ended this controversy was not Zhu Pingjian, the son of Shu, but Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of Chongzhen. With the emperor's decree to build a national army, and with the private message of Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the dynasty, to protect the army without limiting the number of soldiers, and the more the merrier, a great controversy about the direction of the development of the army has finally been decided.
