Qi Changguo couldn't help but be grateful to Zhu Youxiao, he didn't expect that His Majesty would still be able to think of his father today. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

You must know that since the fall of Zhang Juzheng, his father has been belittled again and again. In the government and the opposition, no one can think of their Qi family army, the Qi family army that is powerful in the world.

And Zhu Youxiao's praise for his father and him made him feel like he had eaten honey, and he couldn't help but burst into tears with excitement in his eyes, and nodded heavily.

Zhu Youxiao patted him on the shoulder, and asked Qi Changguo again: "I heard from Li Ge's old report, the soldiers in your Yiyang Institute are all well-trained, and they are quite the true inheritance of the Qi family's army, can you let me take a look." ”

"Wechen has already brought them all into Wuchang City in accordance with the order, please review them for Your Majesty!" Qi Changguo solemnly bowed his hand to Zhu Youxiao, and after speaking, he turned around and waved his hand to make a gesture of invitation.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and walked out of the main hall of the palace, and as soon as he came to the school grounds, he saw that Qi Changguo's Yiyang guards were indeed standing on the school field in an orderly manner, although most of them were not tall, they were all full of energy, strong and powerful.

Zhu Youxiao had to admit that Qi Jiguang really had a set of training soldiers, and many of his concepts did not lag behind modern military theories, as can be seen from the Yiyang soldiers brought out by his son today.

However, this kind of corps that fights in a variety of combinations has already limited its number to not be too large due to its precision, and it is not suitable for promotion, so that dozens or even millions of troops of the whole Ming Dynasty are also assembled in this way.

It can be understood that Qi Jiajun can be regarded as the prototype of a special forces force in a sense, and he is suitable for dealing with sports guerrilla or unconventional combat troops.

As a composite of pirates and Japanese ronins, they could not organize large-scale battles of hundreds of thousands of troops, but they had strong individual combat capabilities and were good at raiding and interspersing, and the Qi family army was just aimed at this, using exquisite and complex mandarin duck tactics, that is, forming a combined force against individual combat advantages.

The Praetorian Guard now has the most regular marine infantry, cavalry and artillery, as well as a newly created navy, and now only the air force and special forces are missing.

However, the establishment of the Air Force, like the Navy, must wait for the latest scientific research results developed by the three major scientific research institutions of the Royal Academy of Sciences, the Royal Academy of Engineering, and the Ordnance Department, before we can have the most basic foundation for the formation of the Air Force, a technical arm with strong professional skills.

However, in order for the Ming Dynasty to gain a dominant position at sea and in the air in the future, these must also be accelerated.

But now the top priority is to use the foundation of Qi Changguo and his Yiyang soldiers to create a special forces force of the Ming Dynasty.

"Qi Changguo, I would like to ask you, your father was able to form the Qi family army based on the Yiwu miners and pacify the Japanese invaders, and now I let you build a Qi family army by selecting soldiers from the Praetorian Guard and even the whole country, can you guarantee that they can fight against the southwest wolf soldiers, the southeast pirates, the South China Sea Fanyi, and the Guanwai Tartars?"

The meaning of Zhu Youxiao's question is obvious, that is, to ask Qi Changguo if he can build a special forces force that can defeat all arms of the armed forces in the case of a small war.

The reason for asking this question is naturally not groundless, you must know that when the Qi family's army went to the north after pacifying the Japanese in the south, its performance against the Tartars was no worse than Li Chengliang's cavalry.

Qi Changguo didn't even dare to say that as the heir of Qi Jiguang, although he adhered to his family education, he didn't dare to say that he wanted to be compared with the Qi family army founded by his father.

"You don't have to be humble, as the saying goes, the blue is better than the blue, it is also a common thing, I look at the morale of your Yiyang soldiers, I can guess that you not only have the true inheritance of Qi Shaobao, but also have a further effect, and I believe that if your father is reincarnated, he naturally hopes that you can bring out better soldiers than him", Zhu Youxiao said, and asked again: "How is it, do you have confidence?" ”

Qi Changguo is not a stupid person, so he naturally knows that His Majesty wants to reuse his own meaning, so he also gritted his teeth and said: "Weichen obeys the order, please rest assured that Your Majesty will be able to train an army that can win a hundred battles." ”

"Don't boast about Haikou first, I won't let you recruit now, all of your Yiyang soldiers will be reorganized into the Praetorian Guard and subsumed into the Praetorian Guard system, and your position as a thousand households will also be dismissed, I will give Liu Ruoyu the will to preach, you enter the Royal Military Academy to participate in the third phase of officer student training, study for one year, after one year of graduation, I will re-grant you the position and re-recruit soldiers?"

Zhu Youxiao didn't wait for Qi Changguo to answer, so he said again: "Although I know that your father is a genius military strategist, to my Ming Dynasty, just like Song Zhiyue Wumu, but many military theories will not be fully known, I let you go to the Royal Military Academy, just to let you understand at least the most avant-garde military concepts at present, and it can be regarded as broadening your horizons, I will let the Royal Academy of Sciences, the Royal Academy of Engineering, the Ordnance Department and the Hanlin Academy open to you for free, you can learn more, the future war can be far more complicated than this, Even one day, the cavalry that dominates the world will become history, and special armies like the Qi family army will become the norm. ”

After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he looked at Qi Changguo, he knew that even if Qi Changguo had a family history and was familiar with literature, science and martial arts, he would not really be able to digest his own words, just like Chang Yanling and Qin Botong and others back then, they would gradually understand the theoretical knowledge they had instilled in them after they explored and studied by themselves.

And now what Zhu Youxiao has to do is to see if Qi Changguo can do it, in order to create a more powerful Qi family army (special forces), he will give up the position of a thousand households, and be willing to start from scratch to be admitted to the Royal Military Academy, and everything will start from scratch.

This is a difficult choice for many people, just like you are already a commander of the army 0 points 0 divisions and 0 districts, but now you have to go back to school and start as an ordinary cadet.

And the same is true of Qi Changguo, since the fall of Zhang Juzheng, his Qi family has been going downhill, and there is no one to rely on in the court, and he himself has spent a lot of effort to keep it, and now he suddenly gave up, which is indeed a test.

However, as soon as Qi Changguo thought that everything in his Qi family was given by His Majesty the Emperor, and now His Majesty the Emperor let him abandon his official position and go to the Royal Military Academy, he could only obey.

"Wechen obeys the order, please ask Your Majesty to remove Wechen from the post of Yiyang Qianhu! Let Weichen rush to the capital to participate in the assessment of the Royal Military Academy! ”

Qi Changguo bowed his hand to Zhu Youxiao.

"I am approved, the specific will, I will let Li Ge Lao prepare it and hand it over to you", Zhu Youxiao said and asked Qi Changguo to retreat, and as soon as he left, Zhu Youxiao called Wu Jin, the head of the East Factory, and instructed: "Spread my will to Liu Ruoyu, the celebrant in charge of the enrollment of the Royal Military Academy, at the end of this year, when the third phase of the officer and student selection is made, no matter how good his performance Qi Changguo is, he will be deposed by me, if he participates in the second supplementary selection, he will be directly promoted to the third phase of the top student training, after the training, Directly awarded to the rank of Colonel Commander! ”

Wang Chengen saw that Zhu Youxiao was still assuring Qi Changguo that he would let him succeed in the Royal Military Academy at first, but now he asked Dongchang to send a secret decree to Liu Ruoyu, the eunuch and commander of Dongchang, who was in charge of the enrollment of the Royal Military Academy, asking him to depose Qi Changguo in the third phase of the admission examination for military students, which made Wang Chengen feel very curious, and couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, why do you want to do this." Wechen is puzzled? ”

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile: "Don't give him Qi Changguo a stumbling block, can he understand how difficult it is to enter this Royal Military Academy, he can do it in the future to study in the Royal Military Academy for a year, don't look at him in my own humble manner, I tell you, like him, a general is arrogant in his bones, how to become a calm and calm famous general without experiencing setbacks; Moreover, the Royal Military Academy is to a martial artist what the Hanlin Academy is to a literati, if he Qi Changguo can't even accept this little setback, how can I rest assured that he will be in charge of the special forces in the future, and he will have to complete various complex tasks. ”

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Hearing Zhu Youxiao say this, Wang Chengen couldn't help but pat Zhu Youxiao's ass. And Zhu Youxiao didn't say much, just smiled faintly.

……

Although the rebellion of Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, was over, Zhu Youxiao did not plan to leave Huguang directly, and Zhu Youxiao planned to meet the squires of Huguang once.

Even, go to Gangneung once.

And in this pacification of the rebellion of the King of Chu, Zhu Youxiao naturally gained a lot, not only from the Chu King Zhu Huakui got a rich amount of natural and family property, but also deposed the King of Chu, King Lu and many other vassal kings, almost the entire Ming Dynasty hundreds of thousands of royal relatives and nobles, almost tens of thousands of people were implicated, and therefore lost the legal right to parasitize, and these tens of thousands of people are almost the upper class of the Ming clan, occupying more than half of the resources of the Ming clan.

Therefore, the financial pressure on the central court will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

Moreover, in addition, Zhu Youxiao also made a clear decree to continue to encourage local royal relatives to engage in business and trade, and the Royal Bank will give him preferential loans, of course, if he is interested in other professions, such as just wanting to be a simple artist, Zhu Youxiao also agrees.

But there is also a red line, Zhu Youxiao does not allow the vassal kings to participate in the military, and even the political power cannot be too high.

When Zhu Youxiao arrived at Jiangling City, the officials of Jiangling City, such as Chai Shuo and others from Jiangling County, had already been neatly outside the city gate, but Zhu Youxiao did not say a few words of greeting with these local officials, and after asking a few words, he went straight to the place where Zhang Juzheng lived.

But because Zhang Juzheng has now become a typical example of the entire Ming Dynasty being characterized as a powerful minister and traitor, his hometown in Jiangling has long been dilapidated, and his private garden has even been carved up by other powerful factions.

The Jiangling County Commander suddenly knew that His Majesty Zhu Youxiao was coming, so he was also in a hurry, and he didn't expect that His Majesty Zhu Youxiao would suddenly visit Zhang Juzheng.

In his opinion, he thought that His Majesty came to Jiangling because he was going to Xianling to worship his ancestors, but he didn't expect to come to see Zhang Juzheng!

The Jiangling County Commander secretly regretted that he did not renovate Zhang Juzheng's old mansion in order to deceive him, but now His Majesty saw that Zhang Juzheng's mansion had become so dilapidated that even his ancestral hall had stepped into a roof.

Seeing that His Majesty Zhu Youxiao had been frowning all the time, the Jiangling County Commander couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

And Zhu Youxiao didn't lose his temper towards the Jiangling County Order, and suddenly just said very gently: "Bandang knows loyal ministers, although Zhang Juzheng was suspected of holding the young master hostage to order the world, but in the final analysis, all his measures at that time and the new coup d'état law he implemented were all adhering to the will of the first emperor, and it was not a disloyal and unrighteous act, and during his ten years in power, my Ming Dynasty was indeed thriving, which is like the scene in the years before and after my accession to the throne, foreign affairs were constantly smoking, and dozens of cities were lost. Seeing that countless of my Ming people were slaughtered by the barbarians and were indifferent, and the struggle within the court was also intensifying, first the Donglin Party and the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party, etc., and then the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party, etc., it can be said that the country has no peace, and the people are miserable. ”

Only then did Chai Shuo, the commander of Jiangling County, realize that His Majesty Zhu Youxiao meant to rehabilitate Zhang Juzheng, otherwise, he would not have said good things about Zhang Juzheng in every sentence, and his beautiful words were continuous.

Although Chai Shuo, the commander of Jiangling County, had also fiercely opposed Zhang Juzheng's new policy because of the measurement of acres of land, but now that His Majesty mentioned it again, he could only nod his head resignedly.

At the same time, in order to increase his good impression in front of His Majesty Zhu Youxiao, Jiangling County Ling Chai Shuo also had to hurriedly guarantee: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Weichen will definitely renovate Zhang Ge Lao's mansion and ancestral hall to commemorate Zhang Ge Lao's contribution to my Ming Dynasty." ”

"Well, it's good if you understand", Zhu Youxiao said and then instructed Li Mingrui: "The right attendant of the criminal department who caused countless family members in Zhang Ge's hometown to starve to death due to detention back then and the eunuch Bingbi who was the master of ceremonies must be severely punished!" If they are still in the world, let them also taste the taste of being starved to death, and if they have become ancient, they will collect their family property to expand the strength of our Ming state-owned capital. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao personally walked to Zhang Juzheng's spiritual seat, and personally put three pillars of incense on Zhang Juzheng.

Zhu Youxiao reassessed that Zhang Ju was a loyal minister of Bandang, and also ordered someone to renovate the Zhang family's mansion and ancestral hall.

Among them, Zhu Youxiao's comments on Zhang Juzheng caused an uproar in the world, no one thought that His Majesty would want to overturn the Wanli Emperor's denial and denigration of Zhang Juzheng, but choose to affirm Zhang Juzheng again, everyone can see that His Majesty is now to rehabilitate Zhang Juzheng, in order to affirm the New Deal, and pave the way for the future to promote the New Deal, and to encourage more ministers to dare to participate in the reform of the New Deal, especially those officials who are determined to innovate.

But as a result, Zhu Youxiao's actions aroused the alarm of a large number of conservative or selfish officials, who felt that they had to stop His Majesty's crazy move, or they would have to face the danger of losing their privileges, just like those vassal kings.
