Yang Sichang knew that generally being summoned by the emperor's platform would mark that he would be reused by the emperor. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Just like the job seekers of later generations interviewing the top 500 companies, whether they can successfully learn the arts and martial arts, goods and the emperor's family, is this opportunity.

Therefore, Yang Sichang didn't dare to deal with it casually, and hurriedly saluted Zhu Youxiao:

"Returning to Your Majesty, in the view of Weichen, agreeing to the Tartars' proposal for peace is really the best policy, although Your Majesty has repeatedly exempted taxes, training and strengthening the army, but now the famine continues to worsen, the armament is still slack, and the defense of the city can still support one or two, but there is no good war army to conquer and quell the rebellion, if you take advantage of the opportunity of peace negotiations, get three or five years, get rid of maladministration, accumulate money and grain, train soldiers and horses, and set up heavy troops in Denglai, Shanhaiguan, Lushun, Phi Dao and other places, and then ally with Mongolia, and then take the initiative to attack after the Tartars and the rebels and thieves Wu Xiangbu formed a siege, Then there is no worry about the uneven affairs of Liaodong. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sigh secretly, this Yang Sichang is worthy of being a military strategist, and this strategic thinking is really a set of sets, just like the strategy he put forward in the Chongzhen Dynasty with four squares and six corners and ten sides of the net, and he is now proposing the same similar strategy, adopting the method of encircling and suppressing the enemy in Liaodong on three sides.

This kind of vision that focuses on the overall battle and the overall situation really made Zhu Youxiao secretly respectful.

But Zhu Youxiao had to admit that this Yang Sichang was much inferior in command, and his performance was far inferior to his theoretical strategy, and Zhang Xianzhong, who was born in a rogue, could force him to commit suicide, which also shows that an excellent strategist is not necessarily an excellent tactical commander, although Yang Sichang has a good view of the overall situation, but in the end he is also a theorist who has never been on the battlefield.

This kind of people are not uncommon since ancient times, and especially in today's Ming Dynasty, after all, most of the military people in the Ming Dynasty are literati, they are good at empty talk, short of practice, let them sit on the temple to needle the times, strategizing is OK, but once the army is led to fight is blind in both eyes, empty full of knowledge, whether it is a Tartar or a rogue will not cooperate with you, honestly drill into your pocket.

What Zhu Youxiao has to do is to change this erroneous military command model; except for a very small number of all-round civil and military talents such as Lu Xiangsheng, the affairs of fighting a war must be handled by the generals, and the overall layout of sitting in the court is done by the civilian officials; even if it is necessary to control the military generals in order to prevent the phenomenon of supporting the army and self-respect, the civilian officials will not be allowed to manipulate the command of the military attachés, and at most the role of the political commissar will appear in advance, and in the future, the grassroots commanders at all levels of the Praetorian Guard system will not be one chief, but two leaders at the same level, but the division of labor is different. Just like the current deputy commander-in-chief is also two.

"Very good, it's rare for you to have such an awareness, seeing that peace is imminent, I intend to make you a deputy envoy, what do you think?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

Yang Sichang didn't refuse, and hurriedly bowed again: "Weichen is willing to share your worries for Your Majesty, please make peace with the Tartars." ”

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded, and hurriedly shouted: "Yang Sichang, take the order!" Immediately reinstate you as the military department of the military selection of the Lang Lang, awarded the four products of the Shun doctor, to assist the left waiter Lu Xiangsheng to deal with the affairs of the Ministry of War, to be the peace of the decision, that is, to act as a deputy envoy, with the Ministry of Rites Zuo Lang that is the peace is making Wen Tiren rush to Jizhou with the Tartar to make peace. ”

Yang Sichang hurriedly thanked him and retired, he can be regarded as a local official for many years, and he has also been a petty official in the capital, so he can also deal with it indifferently for him, not happy nor sad.

This Yang Sichang, who was originally one level higher than Lu Xiang's promotion in the original history and directly caused Lu Xiangsheng's death in battle, became Lu Xiangsheng's subordinate in this life.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sigh secretly, because of his appearance, the fate of historical figures was also beginning to change.

However, now that Yang Sichang is in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War, it is indeed necessary for Lu Xiangsheng to relieve a lot of burdens, and with Yang Sichang's many years of experience as an official, it is easy to preside over the affairs of the Ministry of War.

Zhu Youxiao is very satisfied with this situation, and now the entire Ming Dynasty, from Liaodong to the northwest, and then to the center, can be regarded as a capable minister, and now there is only one Yuan Keli missing, Zhu Youxiao plans to directly reinstate him as the governor of Denglai after he recovers from his illness.

As Yang Sichang said, Denglai is a military important place to control Liaodong, and it is the best place to control Liaodong on the sea, which is not unimportant, and Yuan Keli was also the governor of Denglai at that time, and used Denglai as a base to harass and guerrilla attacks on the rear of the Tartars, thus expanding the actual control area of the Denglai army, and it is precisely because of this that Mao Wenlong of Dongjiang Town appeared.

Now, with the establishment of the Royal Industrial Company and the Royal Bank, the economic aspect has begun to have a foothold for Zhu Youxiao; With the expansion of the Praetorian Guard, Zhu Youxiao's voice in military affairs will naturally be strengthened, and even in important places, there are powerful ministers in charge, in addition to Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Wang Zaijin, and Yang Sichang in the north, as well as Wei Zhongxian in the south and Qin Liangyu in the southwest.

It can be said that Zhu Youxiao doesn't have to worry about any more chaos in Daming now, even if Li Zicheng or Zhang Xianzhong and other peasant armies really rise up at this time, he can deal with it very well.

However, on this day, Hu Shouchun suddenly asked to see Zhu Youxiao, but because of the higher interest rate of the Royal Bank, almost the entire capital has come to the Royal Bank to store, but there is a problem, that is, most of the silver money stored by the people is of different types, including silver, gold, copper coins, and even treasure banknotes and other currencies that can almost be seen in the Ming Dynasty.

However, this adds a lot of conversion costs to the bank.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao also felt more and more that it was time to unify the currency, gold and silver are indeed the only effective general equivalents in economic life, but limited by their physical properties, it is not convenient to circulate in the market, especially in the Apocalypse Dynasty, where commodity economic activities are becoming more and more developed, it is not uncommon to buy and sell millions of dollars at every turn, and you can't always carry hundreds of thousands of taels of silver on your body to do a transaction, even if there are silver tickets instead, but silver tickets cannot play the role of replacing gold and silver as general equivalents after all.

Of course, in a self-sufficient small-scale peasant society, it is true that gold and silver can be used as general equivalents to meet economic needs, but what Zhu Youxiao needs to do now is to break the small-scale peasant economic model and let the Ming Empire enter the era of capital expansion.
