"The ancients said, thousands of troops are easy to obtain, one general is hard to find, those who fight on the battlefield, the war will be the first, the commander of the army, the command of the battle, the army to fight, stimulate morale, must be a general; However, in addition to a few people such as Lu Bo and Tang Kekuan, most of the generals in today's southeast war are mediocre and inactive generals, and they retreat when they encounter the Japanese invaders, and do not dare to fight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, the minister thought that if you want to pacify the Japanese invaders, you should first choose the generals, get the good and good fighting generals, and give heavy commanders, one is trained, and the other is resisted, so that they are proficient in the military formation, firearms, and the rear can be used on the battlefield, before the new army is completed, the old armies in the southeast should practice the method of firearms as soon as possible, should not take the initiative to attack, when encountering the enemy, they should defend with firearms, and they must not pursue without orders, and try to stabilize the situation.

However, the Japanese came from the sea, and the Japanese on land were destroyed, and then there were Japanese from the Japanese island, and the return of the extinction was a symptom but not a cure, so the ministers thought that the Japanese came from the Japanese island, and the Ming Dynasty should reprimand the Japanese to restrain their subjects, and the great tomorrow was a powerful country, and the Japanese did not dare to disobey, and a considerable part of the Japanese would disappear, so the four of them reprimanded the Japanese and the Japanese to find the symptoms and cure the root cause.

In the past, when the ancestors were formed, the Ming sailors were majestic, the four Yi salty suits, and the prestige spread far and wide in the countries of Europa, and then after becoming the ancestors, the Ming sailors were no longer in the past, the Japanese came from the sea, and the Ming Dynasty should be a refined sailor, and the enemy was outside the country, so as to avoid the landing of the Japanese invaders, and give full play to the benefits of the Ming artillery, so that it could not poison the people, so the five of them, the refined sailors, and the enemy at sea.

The Japanese are from the Japanese country, and must not know the geography of the Ming Dynasty, but the ministers have recently been familiar with the geography and the road, if there is no foreign number of books to guide them, it is absolutely impossible, the ministers think that they must strictly investigate this kind of rebellion, and they will not be forgiven, so that the Japanese invaders do not know the geography and do not know the road, and our army can easily encircle and annihilate them, so the six of them, open and secret visits, and kill the rebels......"

Zhu Kun held the recital that the emperor had just given him, read it carefully, and at the same time he had a habit of reading the voice in order to keep the article in mind and understand it more deeply, so he read it softly, after reading the whole text, Zhu Kun slowly closed the recital, and couldn't help but admire: "Your Majesty, if it is said that the old minister was in the fog to see the flowers in the fog, then now, the old minister has suddenly opened up to the Japanese trouble, and the old minister has not seen such a meaningful article for a long time, I don't know, which southeast sage wrote this article?" ”

Emperor Jiajing squinted his eyes slightly, and said with a smug smile: "Look at the last signature?" ”

Zhu Kun looked at it, and the signature was Zheng Guang, a person from Nanzhili.

"Suzhou writer Zheng Guang? It's him, it's no wonder, speaking of which, Lao Chen and he are real fellow villagers, Lao Chen also lives in Suzhou City, but Lao Chen is from Changzhou County, he is from Wu County, but the distance is not far, the same belongs to Suzhou City, and it is also an absolute fellow countryman, and there is such a talented person in his hometown, and Lao Chen is also very happy! Zhu Kun's face was full of smiles.

Emperor Jiajing nodded with a smile, and then showed a serious expression: "The ancients said that heroes have been young since ancient times, and now it seems that it is indeed true. A bunch of bastards who eat inside and out! This kind of thing has to be hidden from me, but you can imagine how far the situation in the southeast has been controlled by them, if I don't make a move, the southeast will not be the southeast of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Zhu Kun nodded sympathetically: "In recent days, the family has repeatedly mentioned the previous Suzhou Rebellion in the family letters to the old ministers, if it wasn't for Zheng Guang to break the enemy, Suzhou may not exist, and the old minister is very afraid, so this time he will return to his hometown, and he must exterminate the Japanese invaders." ”

Emperor Jiajing nodded and said, "Then Zhu Qing thinks that which of Zheng Guang's strategies can be used, which ones can be used immediately, and how should they be used?" ”

Zhu Kun opened the recital, and said while reading: "Zheng Guangzhi's strategy is by no means something that can be proposed by a scholar who talks about the army on paper, and the previous achievements also reflect Zheng Guang's military talent, so these strategies are the stubborn diseases of the Ming army that he put forward after careful consideration, and the stubborn diseases that need to be changed urgently are not delayed. ”

Emperor Jiajing smiled and said, "Then how does Zhu Qing plan to train troops, how to select generals, how to practice firearms, and how to investigate and deal with rebellion?" ”

Zhu Kun put down the fold, straightened his posture, and said solemnly: "The soldiers of the southeast guard, the minister has known its incompetence since childhood, can not fight, can not plough, just like miscellaneous labor, the combat power is not even as good as the peasants, the minister's original strategy is to gather the soldiers who dare to fight, the generals who dare to fight, rush and fight, and smash the nest of the Japanese invaders, now it seems that the trouble of the Japanese is not only on land, but also on the sea, and the army can naturally annihilate the Japanese on land, but if the Japanese on the sea are not annihilated, they will land, endlessly.

Therefore, Lao Chen planned to adopt Zheng Guang's strategy, first take a defensive position, design a blockade line in the entire Susong area where the Japanese were attacked and harassed by the Japanese invaders, and use heavy troops to guard the Japanese invaders, set up beacon towers, once the Japanese were discovered, light the wolf smoke during the day, and light the campfire at night, which stretched for hundreds of miles, thinking that it was a vigilance, and then urgently trained a group of skilled artillery and rocket soldiers for defensive battles, and gradually controlled the trouble of the Japanese invaders outside the blockade line, so that the Japanese could not enter the interior to cause chaos. ”

Emperor Jiajing nodded slightly, thought for a while, and said, "What's next?" ”

Zhu Kun continued: "Next, it is to select the soldiers who dare to fight in the army, train as a strong army, can defeat the strong army of the Japanese Invaders face to face, give the formation, make them proficient in the battle formation, the Japanese Invaders fight, often rush up, there is no tactics, our army responds to it with a strict formation, even if it is difficult to win, it will not be defeated, and then, the old minister also has to investigate whether the 100,000 troops in the southeast are really as Zheng Guang said, whether it is necessary to re-recruit the new army for training, if so, the old minister implores His Majesty to agree." ”

Emperor Jiajing's brows furrowed slightly, then he stretched out and said, "Recruit and train a new army?" I'm afraid this is a bit difficult to do, right? If you recruit a new army to deal with the Japanese invaders, then there is no need for the soldiers of the guard, Emperor Taizu set up the guard, is to raise millions of soldiers without spending a grain of rice for the people, if the new army is recruited, you must give the soldiers, food, equipment, everything has to be redeployed, the difficulty is not small! ”

Zhu Kun said seriously: "If the soldiers of the southeast guard post are not useful, even if the old minister has the heart to fight to the death with the Japanese Kou, there are no soldiers who are willing to obey the orders of the old minister. ”

Emperor Jiajing thought about it again and again, and felt that this request was actually reasonable, the southeast soldiers were tens of thousands, and they were defeated repeatedly, which was really too unreasonable, if the soldiers of the southeast guard post were really rotten and unusable, it was better to dismiss those guards and replace them with a new batch of ...... But isn't this a violation of the law of our ancestors? And if this is the case in the southeast, will not those who are anxious to leave the guard rejoice? Do you want to abolish the guards and recruit soldiers?

"I thought about it again and again, I still think that this move should not be too big, if the soldiers of the guard are really useless, you can recruit thousands of new troops to practice, one is whether this method is feasible is still to be discussed, one is the financial difficulties of the imperial court, if the big bank recruits new troops, I am afraid that the finances are uneasy, the southeast is the Ming Dynasty tax land, the peace is to protect the Ming Dynasty tax, now the southeast is broken, the tax is greatly reduced, I am helpless." Emperor Jiajing's final conclusion was this.

In the face of such conclusions and circumstances, Zhu Kun also knew that this was the emperor's bottom line, and the finances of the Ming Dynasty were indeed dangerous. As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Kun clenched his fists, hating to peel those people and cramp them, and they couldn't split the corpses of the five horses! If Emperor Taizu is still there, how would he feel when he sees the Ming Dynasty become like this?

However, this is better than not being able to do anything, Zhu Kun saluted the emperor and said: "The old minister obeys the order!" Then, Your Majesty, the old minister will go. ”

Emperor Jiajing waved his hand and said, "Go, on the day when Zhu Qing calms the Japanese and returns to Beijing in triumph, I will personally untie Zhu Qing's robe!" ”

Zhu Kun bowed again: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Emperor Jiajing waved him to leave, and just as Zhu Su was about to turn around and leave, Emperor Jiajing suddenly shouted: "Zhu Qing, after you go to the southeast, if there is suffering, you might as well ask Zheng Guang, if it is feasible, on the premise of not disturbing him to prepare for the exam, you can try to let him get in touch with some military and political affairs, and the right is to train him." ”

Zhu Kun was stunned for a moment, and then ordered: "The minister knows, Your Majesty, the minister retires!" ”

Emperor Jiajing nodded: "Go!" ”

Emperor Jiajing looked at Zhu Kun's departing back, and thought for a long time thoughtfully, before saying to Huang Jin beside him: "Go and call Lu Bing." ”

After Zhu Kun left the palace, he went home and simply sorted out the salutes, and then took people out of the capital to go to Suzhou to take up his post, intending to arrive in Suzhou in the shortest possible time and start arranging.

At the same time that Zhu Jun hurried to Suzhou, Tang Shunzhi arrived in Suzhou with Xu Wei, who had not been seen for a long time, came to Zheng's mansion, and saw Zheng Guang, Zheng Guang was very happy about the re-arrival of his master, but Tang Shunzhi didn't say anything, and asked with a serious face whether Jin Yiwei had come to Zheng Guang and whether he wanted anything to go, Zheng Guang replied truthfully, Tang Shunzhi hurriedly asked to see the copy, looking very serious, Zheng Guang was a little unclear for a while, and even Xu Wei didn't take care of it.
