Chapter 246: Forgetting the New Year

"You don't understand."

Hong Chengchou's face had a faint smile, giving people an unfathomable and mysterious feeling, and his eyes revealed an indescribable look.

The people in his mouth are not only these subordinates around him, but also all the people in the world, who don't understand what he means that he doesn't understand the habits of the Son of Heaven and the true thoughts in his heart.

To tell the truth, he was frightened by some crazy words of the Son of Heaven at that time, and almost regarded the Son of Heaven as a madman, and then, with the explanation of the Son of Heaven, he was still half-convinced, but he already believed most of it in his heart, and some facts and things were in front of him, so he couldn't help but believe it.

The governor of a place, and the governor of military affairs, is indeed a feudal official who makes people envious and jealous, but with the word Liaodong in front, it is a high-risk official position that makes people headaches, not only to manage the people under his rule, but also to manage a large group of unruly generals, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, just eating, drinking and Lazar is enough to make people have a headache, the Jin army often commits borders, and dies in battles from time to time, and it is good to say that the military budget is sufficient, but the Ming treasury is empty, the soldiers have not received their salaries for half a year, the weapons and equipment are in tatters, and the officials are corrupt and so on. Liaodong is a big mess, and it will end up as miserable as Xiong Tingbi.

After arriving in Liaodong and taking office, Hong Chengchou, the new superintendent, did not set three fires, but worked tirelessly to inspect the entire Liaodong defense line on the spot, and according to local conditions, repaired and improved some defensive castles according to the terrain and other conditions in various places, and so on, and coordinated the contradictions between military generals and between civilian officials and military attachés.

This is also the strategic purpose of Liaodong set up by the Son of Heaven, he just conscientiously implemented it, of course, this also coincides with what he thinks in his heart, however, some officials, including the Donglin Party, are so idle that they have nothing to find fault with, and they are crooked, the purpose is self-evident, and the twists and turns of impeaching him are piled up into a small mountain, fortunately, the Son of Heaven ignored it, but on the contrary, he wrote a letter to support him, encouraged him, and made him grateful.

During this period, he and the Son of Heaven had correspondence, the two sides talked about the defense problems of Liaodong, people's livelihood problems, etc., as well as a variety of ingenious solutions adapted to local conditions, and finally talked about the current shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty, some solutions, the future ZTE plan, etc., many topics and ideas are very to his appetite, the Son of Heaven has always called him Mr., the posture is very low, the attitude is very sincere, and there is a hidden meaning of treating him as a teacher.

The emperor's teacher is the emperor's teacher, this title is coaxed, Hong Chengchou wants to be the emperor's teacher, but in various exchanges with the Son of Heaven, he knows a lot of new things, not so much that he is a teacher, but that the Son of Heaven is the teacher is more accurate, which is equivalent to the Son of Heaven helping him open a door, let him know that there are many new and advanced knowledge concepts outside the door, etc.

Although the age gap between the two sides is large, they chat very much, have similar interests, respect each other politely, and cherish each other, which makes him feel like he has met a knower.

If Zhu Jian was just an ordinary person, he would have left the Liaodong military affairs and ran to face the foundation, but it is a pity that he is the true dragon son and the respect of the Ninth Five, this relationship is a bit complicated, but both sides tacitly did not break this relationship, so the strange relationship between the monarch and the minister, the teacher and the student, the acquaintance, and the old friend was formed.

Because of the close correspondence and various heart-to-heart exchanges, he dared to say that in this world, only he knows the Son of Heaven best, and even Wang Chengen, the celebrant who has served the Son of Heaven all the year round, may not really know the Son of Heaven, and the imperial military advisor Song Xiance should be regarded as the second.

The Liu Dagui incident made the Son of Heaven furious, and regarded him as a hero who carried the blame, the real purpose was to use this incident as an excuse to carry out a major reform of the empire's military, he is now a man who is a man behind the pot, and he will return dozens of hundreds of times the benefits in the future, not to mention that in order to know the emperor, he can not even take his life, let alone care about this small gain or loss.

The gang of subordinates saw that Inspector Hong, who was a back-handed man, did not show any dissatisfaction, nor did he say anything complaining, so he could only keep his mouth shut obediently, this matter was quickly forgotten, however, all kinds of military regulations and military discipline began to become stricter than before, Hong Chengchou also took the opportunity to take advantage of this matter to rectify military discipline, and if something happened again, don't blame the Inspector for not being emotional.

It didn't take long for the official document of the imperial court to carry out a major military reform sent to Liaodong, Hong Chengchou read the official document and couldn't help laughing, without the constraints of the Donglin Party, the Son of Heaven really carried out the reform in a big way, Ruan Dacheng was quite smart, and he did not sing against the Son of Heaven like the Donglin Party, otherwise, his result would end miserably like the Donglin Party sooner or later.

Zhu Jian's military innovation this time, the thunder is loud, but the action is small, just take his Tianzi pro-army Shenji Battalion, Royal Guards Regiment, Royal Guards Independent Battalion, Phoenix Legion, and Wolf Battalion as a pilot, and it has not yet been implemented nationwide, Liaodong is the main front line to resist the invasion of the Jin Army, and there is no change in the slightest.

It's not that Zhu Jian doesn't want to play big, but there are too many reasons, he moves his whole body with one shot, and he takes too big a step to pull the egg, he doesn't want to cause national turmoil and a mutiny, so he can only carry out demonstrations first, implement reforms on a small scale, and then slowly implement them when they succeed.

At least now, the platform for military innovation has been erected, the Imperial Military Staff Headquarters has been erected, the Military Department has been separated from the Sixth Division, the officials of the former Military Department have also been merged into the General Staff Headquarters as they are, the Military Department Shangshu has been changed to the Chief of Staff, Shilang is the deputy chief of the General Staff, and the Imperial Military Division Song Xiance has been hung up with the post of Deputy General Staff Officer, and other officials have also corresponded to the corresponding general lieutenant official positions according to their ranks.

The Military Intelligence Department has been quietly set up before, and now it is a matter of course, and it is just a public appearance, Jinyiwei and Dongchang were officially merged, changed to the Imperial Security Bureau, and Jinyiwei commanded Lei Yin as the director, with the rank of major general, and the functions remained completely unchanged.

Don't think about changing clothes or anything for the time being, this requires a lot of money, although Zhu Jian's small treasury is full, and the empire's treasury has also confiscated the wealth of dozens of officials and bigwigs, and the numbers on the books have become a little good-looking, but there are too many places that need to be smashed, and they have to be used in key places.

Of course, there are still some small changes, such as the lieutenant-level officers of the Imperial Security Service still began to be equipped with rear-mounted Suifa short guns, because the production is low, only priority is given to equipping some officers who often go out to perform tasks, and the officers and soldiers sitting in the office still wear embroidered spring knives to fill the scene.

The Ming court is engaged in small-scale military innovation, and outside the Guan, Huang Taiji is already waiting for the first war to invade the Ming Empire this year.
