Qin Liangyu raised her head full of silver hair, listening to Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen say this, she was not good at asking for guilt again, but she was also very puzzled at this time, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen announced what he was doing when he came to Nanjing to meet him, it stands to reason that he is already old and old, and he no longer has the ability to lead the troops, most of the children of his stone pillar have died in countless battles since Wanli, even if some of the remaining white pole soldiers in Lingxin have been recruited into the guard system by an edict from Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, and now there are officials to the governor and deputy commander-in-chief.

However, this is also the last spark of the Shizhu Toast, the current Shizhu Toast are all children, women and children, and Qin Liangyu feels that he is even more useless old women and children, originally the military attache is not as good as the civil official in the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that he is still a woman and a child, and he seems to be unable to do anything in the capital.

"Throughout the Ming Dynasty, half of the northern part of the Ming Dynasty fell into the hands of the Hu people, and the land of Bashu was entrenched by the thief Zhang Xianzhong, and there were more foreign countries eyeing the world, which can be said to be the situation in the world is still dangerous and unpredictable, but now I can sit in the center, coordinate the world's soldiers and horses, and there are very few veterans who know the soldiers, and now I can only ask Aiqing to go out of the mountain, sit in the center for me, dispatch the world's soldiers and horses, and assist me in major military affairs, so I intend to appoint Aiqing as the privy envoy of the Generalissimo's Palace!"

Although Qin Liangyu said that he was a woman, he was also a veteran who knew the art of war, so he naturally knew what it meant to be a privy envoy, although there was no privy envoy before the Ming Dynasty, but now His Majesty has established the Generalissimo's Mansion, which is equivalent to putting the Governor's Mansion and the command of the five armies together with the transfer power of the Ministry of War, and the privy envoy should be equivalent to the leader of the Generalissimo's Mansion, and his power is not small.

"Your Majesty, by all means, Weichen can't afford it, and Weichen is an old woman, I'm afraid of provoking the courtiers!"

Qin Liangyu was naturally shocked, and was busy refusing to resign, she naturally knew that the power of this privy envoy was already equivalent to that of the first assistant of the cabinet, or even no less than the first assistant of the cabinet! Once she becomes this privy envoy, she will undoubtedly become the most powerful person in the world, which can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person, but then she will become the target of public criticism, not to mention that she is still a woman and a child, and no one can accept that it is a woman and child who is in charge of the world's military power.

But the reason why Zhu Youzhen intended to let Qin Liangyu be this privy envoy and handle the daily affairs of the Generalissimo's Mansion for himself was naturally because only Qin Liangyu was the most suitable.

First of all, because Qin Liangyu is a woman and a child, and an old woman and child who is too old, it is difficult to have any ambitions, and there will be no hidden dangers when sitting in this position;

The key is that Qin Liangyu is indeed a rare experienced veteran in the entire Great Tomorrow, and he, the emperor, can still take charge of the Generalissimo's Mansion in the eighteenth year of Chongzhen based on the golden finger that later generations know about the development of history, coordinate the world's soldiers and horses, and do everything possible; But after the eighteenth year of Chongzhen, history has issued a great change, Zhu Youzhen felt that his own military talent may not be able to make the Ming Dynasty win in the future military struggle, so the Generalissimo's Office is very much in need of an old marshal who can command the world's soldiers and horses in the center, so that it can be regarded as foolproof.

Ma Shiying, the secretary of the military department, is okay to coordinate logistics and transportation, and he is even more proficient in conspiracy and calculation officialdom, but he can only follow his own opinions strategically, and Li Yan is still young, and he himself is the de facto leader of the extermination army, even if he believes that Li Yan has no objection in terms of emotion, he is intellectually unwilling to hand over such power to him, and the ministers will definitely not agree;

In addition, Zhou Yuji and others have to command the troops on the ground, and it is impossible for Zhu Youzhen to transfer these generals who lead the troops back to Beijing to sit in Beijing, and the only suitable one is now only Qin Liangyu, a veteran who has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and Qin Liangyu's prestige in the world is high enough, even if Zhang Xianzhong now occupies Sichuan, he does not dare to move a small stone pillar toast.

Zhu Youzhen did not want the civilian clique to control the military power, so he could only control the power of troop transfer and command in his own hands, so he established the Generalissimo's Mansion and led the Generalissimo's Mansion himself.

But military affairs are also the same as government affairs, if Zhu Youzhen is asked to handle affairs by himself every day, he will definitely be half busy, so he does need a privy envoy to handle daily affairs.

This can be regarded as the reason why Zhu Youzhen wants Qin Liangyu to be the privy envoy, and he also wants to let himself live for a few more years, and he doesn't want to die of overwork.

But now Qin Liangyu is about to resign, so this makes Zhu Youzhen very unhappy, but he also knows that as long as anyone has no ambition to be the emperor, he will not dare to be this powerful official.

"It is precisely because Aiqing is a woman and child that I can rest assured that I will hand over the soldiers and horses of the world to you, and the courtiers will also rest assured, I know that Aiqing is loyal to the country, full of loyalty, and will not resist my will, this privy makes you feel at ease, even if it is not for me, you have to think about the world's rivers and mountains, is Aiqing really willing to watch me hand over the world's soldiers and horses to a person who does not know soldiers, and let the sons of the Ming Dynasty die on the battlefield in vain, not only your Qin family and the Ma family, but also the entire Ming Dynasty There are not many good sons, They can't afford to lose their lives in vain. ”

As soon as Zhu Youzhen said this, Qin Liangyu had to agree.

Publicly, she really didn't dare to resist the decree.

Privately, her own brothers and nephews have died too much, and many of them have died in vain because the former civilian officials were in charge of the army and did not know what to do with the army, not to mention that her own remaining children and nephews are still in the Guard, and she really doesn't want to lose more relatives.

The news that Qin Liangyu became a privy envoy in charge of the daily military affairs of the Generalissimo's Mansion was soon known by the officials of the entire court, and although the officials of the entire court also knew that Qin Liangyu was a woman and a child, there were indeed not many people who raised objections.

Zhu Youzhen is now very satisfied with the composition of military officials in the Ming Dynasty, the Generalissimo's Mansion, that is, the center of the imperial court, has Qin Liangyu in charge, and Li Yan presides over the General Staff, and there are local generals such as Zhou Yuji, Liu Fangliang, and Huang Degong, among the younger generation, Zheng Chenggong, Yan Yingyuan, Gu Yanwu, Xia Wanchun, etc. have begun to emerge, even if the commander who will lead the Qing army to the south of the Ming Dynasty in the future is really Hong Chengchou, the figure who was as famous as Lu Xiangsheng during the Chongzhen period, Zhu Youzhen does not believe that these current figures in the Generalissimo's Mansion cannot deal with him.

After Qin Liangyu sat in the Generalissimo's Mansion, Zhu Youzhen also relaxed, basically daily military affairs, he no longer personally handled, taking advantage of this time he had to go to the Ordnance Institute and the Daming Academy of Engineering and the Daming Academy of Sciences to see how the current development of science and technology in the Ming Dynasty is.
