Chapter 127: Dongyong's Military System

"Gold Mine." It was none other than Wu Xingzhi who screamed. Wu Xingzhi was not originally a greedy person, but for Zhu Houhuang to manage money, he was often short of finances. It has long been dark, and it is impossible to see silver, let alone gold. Wu Xingzhi was originally opposed to the attack on Beigang.

It's not that it's not optimistic about the offense, it's just the opposite, it's bullish on the offense. I know that once I attack Beigang, I need to spend a lot of money to clean up the aftermath. As the person in charge of finance, Wu Xingzhi's financial management idea is very simple, that is, he wants to spend as little money as possible, and finally do not spend money. Anything that costs money is frowned upon. If Wu Xingzhi is allowed to make decisions, he definitely wants to stay in action for a few years, and wait for the big man and the Qi family to operate maturely, and then make plans.

At the same time, he is also positive about anything that can increase fiscal revenue. One thought of gold mines. He immediately directed support for sending troops. said: "Your Highness, I don't know when to send troops, the minister is really good to prepare grain and grass." ”

Zhu Houhuang smiled: "This is not a matter of time and a half. There are a lot of things to prepare. While speaking, Zhu Houhuang turned his head and looked at Yang Shen. All the things to prepare, the most important thing, is to get Yang Shen's support.

Yang Shen pondered for a while and said: "Your Highness, since the ministers arrived in Dongyong, there has been an endless stream of people coming to Dongyong, and there are more than 10,000 people, but most of them are prisoners sent from Jiangxi and Beizhili. The people of Fujian are still suspicious of immigrating to Dongyong, and the minister originally wanted to let some Fujian soldiers return to their hometowns after a while. In this way, it is good to guide the poor families of Fujian to defect to Dongyong. There is also the Qi army to report, although General Qi fought a battle, the big belly kingdom was afraid, but the Qi army went deep into the hinterland of Dongyong, there were barbarians everywhere, and there were often barbarians harassing the villages, it can be said that the Qi army can protect itself, and if you want to transfer the soldiers of the Qi army, you don't have to think about it, there are only more than 1,000 elite soldiers around His Royal Highness, although these more than 1,000 elite soldiers are powerful. But the conquest of the North Harbor was not a foolproof solution. The minister wondered if it was true, try what His Highness said. ”

Zhu Houhuang asked to hear the sound of the strings and know the meaning of elegance. Knowing what Yang Shen said before, the strategy was that King Yong's personal guards were the backbone, and the county soldiers were the flesh and blood to form an army.

Although Zhu Houhuang's personal guards have been maintaining a thousand people, in fact, there have been a lot of soldiers, for example, when Qi Jingtong was in Qi's family, Zhu Houhuang supported a hundred old soldiers, and these hundred old soldiers are now the backbone of Qi's army, and the same is true in Dayuan and Penghu. The county soldiers in each county were formed by the personal guards of King Yong as the backbone.

Zhu Houhuang is very kind to the personal soldiers around him, it can be said that he teaches by word and deed, and all the personal guards are Zhu Houhuang's disciples, so that although Zhu Houhuang has less control over civilian officials at all levels, his control over the army is ironclad, although the sailors have a little noise. But it was not outside of Zhu Houhuang's control.

The model that Zhu Houhuang thinks of is the model of the Han Dynasty, and the army directly controlled by the central government in the Han Dynasty is only tens of thousands, but once the war starts, the number of troops can roll upward, and it can reach hundreds of thousands, and it will not reduce much in terms of combat effectiveness, because of this model, tens of thousands of northern troops are just seeds.

Zhu Houhuang can integrate the big soldiers, and the county soldiers of the two counties of Penghu can easily integrate more than 2,000 people. Because of immigration, there are more strong men in Dayuan and Penghu, and there are fewer old and weak.

There are about 30,000 or 40,000 Dingkou under the so-called Yongguo, and although it is difficult to bear 3,000 soldiers, it can still be supported by gritting its teeth. After all, the county soldiers are simply serving and guarding their homes. There is also a vacation, and it is not considered a complete vacation.

"Okay, it's a good idea, just let me give it a try, what's the problem." Zhu Houhuang's eyebrows flew and said: "It was all created by the lonely imitation of the Han system before, and I don't know if I don't try it, what is whimsical about it." ”

In fact, this battle was originally a must-win thing, and it was time to train the troops.

However, in this way, the matter of sending troops is even less hasty.

"Your Highness, although there are already soldiers in each county and county, but when it comes to a certain degree of quality, as well as the details of the iron mine in Beigang, I want to send someone to investigate. Within this month, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult to send troops. Yang Shen said.

"Then next month, take half a month, and Lone will just inspect the three places." Zhu Houhuang said.

"There is a matter of time, the minister is about to invite His Highness. October 27 is His Majesty's birthday, can Your Highness prepare to give any birthday gifts? Yang Shen asked.

On Zhengde's birthday, Zhu Houhuang patted his head and said, "Hey, I forgot about this matter." Master Yang, have you thought about what gift to give? ”

"The minister thinks that there is something that is suitable, so I'm afraid His Highness will be reluctant." Yang Shen said.

Zhu Houhuang asked, "What's it?" ”

Yang Shen looked left and right, Wu Xingzhi, Xu Dong, Wang Zhi, and Yu Dayou were all clever people, and they couldn't be seen there. Yang Shen has a private message to say to Zhu Houhuang. Get up and retire immediately.

For a while, there were only two people left in the room, Zhu Houhuang and Yang Shen. Zhu Houhuang said: "Now you can talk about it. ”

Yang Shen said: "Territory." ”

Zhu Houhuang instantly understood that Yang Shen was testing himself.

In modern times, the territory is just a map, but in ancient times it had great symbolic significance, symbolizing the land. Many kings of the dead country, when they surrendered, would sacrifice their territory and surrender themselves.

And Yang Shen is also testing whether Zhu Houhuang has any ideas about the position in Beijing.

Zhu Houhuang said: "The territory is good, is the courtesy light and affectionate? He looked at Yang Shen and said: "Yang Changshi, Lone can officially tell you that Lone has no interest in that location in Beijing, if the Mandate of Heaven is Lonely, and the Legacy of Virtue is located in Lone, Lone will naturally be in charge." If the destiny is not lonely, Lone will go all out to the south and expand the South Sea. Nanyang is the territory of China, and it is not in vain to go through the lonely world. Master Yang, I regard you as my right-hand man and a confidant, and I will never tell you the truth. Please also ask Master Yang not to hesitate about this matter, and try his best to assist Gu, when the time is ripe, Gu will naturally recommend Master Yang to His Majesty, and will not let Master Yang spend his whole life in this place. ”

"I don't dare, thank you for your outspokenness. The minister does not make false statements, and the minister is a long history of King Yong, and he tries his best to serve Yongguo for a day. ”

Zhu Houhuang and Yang Shen smiled at each other, as if they had released their previous suspicions.

Zhu Houhuang sighed lightly in his heart, and said secretly: "How difficult it is to recover the heart of the scholar. ”

Although Zhu Houhuang didn't think about being like Zhu Di, he would not be satisfied with Yang Shen's attitude, obviously, Yang Shen's loyalty to Zhu Houhuang was based on Zhu Houhuang being the king of the Ming Dynasty, once Zhu Houhuang lost this identity, Yang Shen would definitely not be loyal to him.

Yang Shen's loyalty was based on loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, and then fell on the King of Yong. And not the other way around.

However, the dissatisfaction in Zhu Houhuang's heart disappeared in a flash, and he didn't show it at all, and asked, "It's just who entered Beijing to congratulate?" ”

"Tang Yin." Yang Shen said.

Zhu Houhuang nodded and said, "Mr. Tang is a suitable candidate, but how is his illness?" ”

For Tang Yin, Zhu Houhuang and Yang Shen are very satisfied, and they are the people who entered Beijing. Not only must you be able to speak kindly, have a good demeanor, but also be witty and decisive, and live up to your mission, and you can't look down on Yongguo by the nobles of the capital.

And in the entire Dongyong, there are a few such people, except for Yang Shen, Tang Yin.

"Half of Mr. Tang's illness is tired, and he usually can't bear the pressure. This period of recuperation is almost over. Yang Shen said.

Zhu Houhuang sighed in his heart, people are still different, although Tang Yin is also a talent, but he is not suitable for the position of the long history of Yongguo. He thought for a moment and said, "Let's appoint Mr. Tang as the envoy of Yongguo and let him be stationed in Beijing." ”

The so-called envoy is the official name of the Tang Dynasty, which is translated into the current official position, and it is better to use the Beijing Office. Zhu Houhuang is ready to let Tang Yin be stationed in Beijing, so that he can give himself a good impression in front of Shilin and the emperor, and of course he can't forget to collect political intelligence.

Letting Tang Yin do such a thing can be regarded as making the best use of things.

Yang Shen said: "That's fine, I will write a letter to my father and ask him to take care of Mr. Tang." ”
