Since sending Zhang Yongming and others away, Tang Yi has been thinking about how to make Xuanda impregnable, so that the people can no longer be subjected to my answers.

Whether it is the whole army and the military, or the negotiation and opening of the border, it needs to be eloquent, and the two major masters of the empire at present, Jiajing is in his last years, even if he is in the prime of life, he does not have great courage, Zeng Milling's complex is certainly not feasible economically, but he is a genius commander, kill such a capable minister, and can still count on Jiajing to do something good.

Another cabinet chief assistant Xu Jie, maybe when he was young, Xu Ge was old and fierce, but he was also not young, and the long struggle with Yan Song had exhausted all his sharpness, and it was also not worth entrusting.

If you want to completely solve the border troubles, it is absolutely impossible, Tang Yi just wants to throw out the issue, let everyone discuss and think, and wait until the time is ripe to start solving it.

However, there is one thing that must be done, and that is to strengthen border defenses.

Tang Yi took advantage of the aftermath of the great victory to find all the generals of Xuanda and talked with the big guys.

"As a martial artist, a bloody man, I don't believe that you are willing to be cowards, once you meet the enemy, you only dare to retreat in the city, and even rely on killing your own people to deceive the court and deceive your conscience, that is the shame of a martial artist!" After the first battle, Tang Yi spoke, the words were as heavy as Mount Tai, and many people's foreheads were damp, and he said that the commander didn't want to kill, right?

Tang Yi changed the conversation, "Of course, your difficulties, Ben Shuai also knows it, the imperial court uses literature to control the military, and the above has sent a supervising army, guards, and patrols, you have a bunch of mothers-in-law on your heads, the credit belongs to others, and you have to bear the fault." In addition, the military household system has collapsed, and the imperial court has insufficient food and salary, and you are also a good woman who can hardly cook without rice. ”

If it weren't for Tang Yi's support, unconditional trust, and sufficient logistical support, this war would not have gone so smoothly.

The big guys all stared at Tang Yi, wanting to hear what the governor had to say.

"A lot of things are too widely implicated, and Ben Shuai can't do anything about it. But there is one thing, I hope you all remember, you must be self-reliant, others look down on you, but you can't look down on yourself! Tang Yi said angrily: "At present, many generals can't ride horses, can't pull bows, and don't even know a word. What about the Tartars? If you are afraid of the enemy like a tiger and have no courage at all, can you still expect others to respect you like this? ”

Tang Yi's words rang loudly, everyone's faces turned red, and they stood up one after another, Ma Fang took his head and touched the ground on one knee.

"Commander, the last general is guilty!"

"I'm guilty!" Everyone said along.

Tang Yi looked at it for a long time and waved his hand, "You all get up, Ben Shuai invites everyone to come over, first, not to scold, and second, not to condemn, but to talk to the big guy." Although the military households on the nine sides collapsed, they fought every year, and there was still some combat effectiveness, but Jiangnan, after more than 100 years of peace, was killed by only a few Japanese robbers, but there were no soldiers available, and the sea frontier was useless, and the lives were ruined, and it was miserable. Fortunately, in the past ten years, the imperial court has vigorously recruited troops, and finally the plague has gradually calmed down. But what about the hereditary military households in the southeast? It's almost gone, you think about it, will this scene happen on the nine sides, can you still sit back and relax? ”

Everything pays attention to convincing people with reason, Tang Yi's words poked everyone's sore spot.

Tang Ruoan preemptively said: "Commander, to put it mildly, this time we have seen General Yang and General Qi's people, and we know that we are much worse than the soldiers in the southeast, and we heard that the imperial court is going to transfer the southern soldiers to the north, we are also worried and can't sleep!" ”

"Yes, yes, Commander, we will not know anything but war for generations, and if the military households are abolished, we will be finished."

It was Tang Yi who proposed the transfer of troops from the south to the north, but he said it through Zhang Yongming's mouth, and these people still regarded him as a good person, and Tang Yi was happy to misunderstand.

"You are worried about the transfer of soldiers from the south to the north, and you want the commander to say that the key is not in the southern soldiers, but in you, try to ask the soldiers from the south to adapt to the climate, settle down, and pay food and pay when they go to the north, and the cost is several times more than yours. The court is not rich, is it because it is full of food? Obviously not, the root is in you, it is because you can't fight, so you have to transfer people from other places. ”

Zu Xun's face turned red, and he said ashamedly: "The commander is right, we are not angry, and we will embarrass the ancestors!" ”

The big guys blamed themselves one after another, Tang Yi smiled, "Shame and courage, if you can realize this, there is still room for redemption, no one is born to fight, and the anti-Japanese soldiers in the south are also trained." As long as you are willing to endure hardships, you will have the opportunity to become a hero on the battlefield! ”

Tang Yi calculated that with the financial resources of the imperial court, there was hope for transferring 18,000 people, but it was a dream to transfer tens of thousands of people to the north. In the final analysis, it is necessary to rely on the border army to become self-reliant and self-reliant. Seeing that the foreshadowing was almost over, Tang Yi threw out his own plan.

"Ben Shuai is going to set up two schools, one is the cold weapon school, and the other is the hot weapon school, that is, firearms." Tang Yi said to Ma Fang and Yang An: "You two are responsible for each other, all the generals and disciples, before the age of ten, must enter the academy to learn to read and write, start at the age of fifteen, learn to fight, and leave the school at the age of eighteen, if you can't pass the assessment, continue to study, but three times in a row, you will forever lose the qualification to lead the army!" ”

"You inherit the hereditary official position and receive the imperial court, these schools don't care about it, and you don't interfere, but if you want to lead the troops to fight, you must go through the academy assessment, and if you don't succeed, don't come out and be embarrassed at home!"

The battle in the era of alternating hot and cold weapons also depends to a large extent on the level of the generals. Ma Fang's success fully proves that as long as you have courage and are willing to endure hardships, Daming's athletes are not worse than others.

To a large extent, the poor combat effectiveness of the border army lies in the serious degradation of the generals, hereditary official positions, and without competition, people will inevitably slack.

In addition to the disciples of Jiangmen, excellent teenagers will also be recruited from the people, and the tentative ratio is seven of the generals, three of the civilians, and three percent of the civilians The effect is that the catfish are rampant, and they will force the children of the generals to regain the blood in their bones.

Most people agree with this plan, after all, the so-called Jiangmen is still a small number of good people, and some miserable people can't even eat enough.

Those hereditary commanders, the commanders know the same thing, but the more hereditary ones are thousands of households, hundreds of households, often a large group of children, only one person can inherit the official position, and the others are no different from ordinary people.

Tang Yi made this school, which is a great blessing for them, send the child in, as long as he is willing to endure hardships and have a future, and graduate from the school, at least he can mix a hundred presidents, and the general flag will do it.

Speaking of impact, it is still those top generals, but Tang Yi has the prestige of a big victory, they dare not object, and the people below support it, if they want to jump out and make trouble, they will become poor and lonely.

And Tang Yi has also done work for these people, as long as I am here, I will definitely protect the big guys, as long as you are angry, no one can bully you...... Moreover, Tang Yi quietly introduced several commercial houses in Tianjin.

Tang Yi was a hundred opponents of selling ironware, grain, medicine, and tea to Alta, but selling them furniture, silk, cloth, and porcelain was not a burden at all, on the contrary, it was still a way to make money.

In order to win the support of the big guy, Tang Yi secretly threw out a lot of stocks and stuffed the big guy's pockets.

The uneven gate in other people's hands, when they arrived at Tang Yi, they were honest and noodles.

When people's hearts are enveloped, the following things will be easy to do.

The first thing Tang Yi did was to recruit new soldiers, fill the shortfall, and then expand the scale of the ordnance workshop and give the power to produce gunpowder. In addition, he sent Ma Fang's men and horses out into countless squads, and went deep into the grasslands, and when the snow melted, he burned the dry grass on the ground, leaving no food for the livestock.

The walls are clear, but Tang Yi changed the direction and destroyed the grassland.

Tang Yi also learned from the model of the southeast to promote the militia, using local people to guard their homes, and those who took the initiative to join the militia were exempted from the tax burden and could receive two more loads of grain every year.

Then vigorously promote the renovation of water conservancy, reclaim the abandoned Shangtun land, Qi Jiguang brought back 50,000 slaves from the grassland were placed in the front line of Xuanda by Tang Yi, they hated me to the bone marrow, many young people took the initiative to join the army and became brave soldiers.

After the defeat of the answer, he was really unwilling, he dispatched men and horses, frequently attacked Xuanda, and sometimes tens of thousands of cavalry were dispatched together, with great momentum.

However, the current configuration of the nine sides is not ordinary, Xuanda needless to say, Jiangdong, the governor of Jiliao, is an experienced old minister himself, and there are subordinates like Qi Jiguang, and Wang Chonggu, the governor of the three sides, is not a good stubble. Especially Tang Yi has made meritorious contributions, as a cadre of the Jin Party, if he doesn't make some achievements, where will the faces of Shanxi people go.

The three governors worked together, and the soldiers and civilians worked together to withstand the counterattack of Alda, not to mention, and also fought many small victories one after another, and the situation on the nine sides was very good for a while.

Tang Yi finally had time to care about the changes in the court, and went through all the accumulated reports, Tang Yi stared at one piece, his hands kept trembling, and looked at the date, it turned out to be half a month ago, Tang Yi was completely angry!

"Wang Yin, what the hell is going on, why don't you tell me immediately?"

It was the first time that Tang Yi said that the official respected the staff and called him by his name.

Wang Yin glanced at the content, and his face was very ugly.

"Commander, Hu Butang won't let me tell you this news."

"If he doesn't let you, he won't tell me?" Tang Yi slapped the table angrily, "Mr. Shiyue, if Brother Merlin has a mistake, how will you let me be?" ”

Wang Yin was quite moved, Hu Zongxian did not make the wrong friends.

"Commander, Hu Butang said, he is ready to retire, and the person who will succeed you is you, ask for benevolence, I don't think there is anything bad."

"Retreat?"

Tang Yi's pupils suddenly constricted, and then spread out, with a sad expression, "I'm afraid that Hu Molin is thinking simply." ”

At this time, Zhou Yu hurriedly ran in, "Commander, news is coming from the south, Yu Dayou has been imprisoned." (To be continued.) )
