The reason why Zhu Houwei was able to reform the three battalions of the forbidden army without much effort was because the three battalions themselves were directly under the royal family, and the military department had no right to interfere at all.

And the fact that the 26 guards of the capital were successfully reorganized after the reorganization of the Shence Army was completely because the imperial court at that time had no intention of raising the bar with the emperor on the affairs of the army.

At that time, the feudal towns and salt administration were tax affairs, which made the Manchu Dynasty too busy to deal with them, and where did they have the energy to argue with the emperor for the reform of the army.

Of course, this is only the external cause, what is the real internal cause?

It's finance!

In addition to the self-sufficient local guards, the army of the Ming Dynasty, whether it was the Beijing camp or the 26 guards and the border army who did not have much land, their military salaries and grain and grass needed to be supplied by the imperial court, that is, the military department and the household department asked for silver, which would be distributed to the various garrisons later.

If the emperor wants to control the army of the whole world, it is not impossible, then the emperor should come out of the silver to raise the army, of course, the silver of the army will definitely not be taken from his own small treasury, so he can only find the household department.

The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households want money to raise the army, and the name is grandiose, and if you don't give it, if the army mutinies or even robs the place, the responsibility should be borne by the Ministry of Households, and you have to bear it if you don't carry it.

But the emperor is different, the emperor and the household department want silver to support the army, the household department will definitely cry poor, and there will definitely be a shortage of catties and catties, so the emperor should make up for the shortage, what to make up? Of course, it is the silver of the inner treasury to make up for it.

Is there not enough silver in the inner treasury to make up for it? That has nothing to do with the household department, but it really doesn't work, so the emperor will reduce the amount of money in the palace and be less luxurious.

In short, the household department has long played the role of an iron rooster in front of the emperor, although the emperor is the supreme in the world, he can only admit it, unless the emperor himself has silver.

Zhu Houwei has silver!

Not only is there silver, but there is so much silver that it makes the household drool!

With silver, he has confidence, so the emperor has no money to reorganize the army, why should the officials of the Manchu Dynasty oppose it?

It is natural for the emperor to raise an army, and civil officials want to hold on to military power?

What do you want to do!

What's more, the purpose of civilian officials controlling the army's finances is not to want the emperor to reuse military personnel, or even to use military force, otherwise, as a civil official full of righteousness, who would be willing to deal with Stinky Qiuba.

However, it is tolerable, which is unbearable!

The Ministry of War, which is almost about to exist in name only, is already aggrieved enough, but now it is good, now that the soldiers and horses are out of the customs, it is obvious that they want to fight to the death with the grassland, but such a big matter, the Ministry of War and even the cabinet know nothing!

Who gave Wei Wuhou the power to mobilize the six-sided elite cavalry, and where is the transfer document for the soldiers and horses to go out of the customs? How is the transfer of grain and grass arranged?

The most important thing is that the soldiers and horses go out to fight, even if there are only a few thousand elite horsemen, but what about the civilian officials of the overseer?

This is the most unbearable place for the courtiers!

For the civil officials who guard against the rise of the military ministers to the bones, the rise of the Jiangmen forces is absolutely intolerable, even if the emperor wants to play balance, he should support the two factions in the court, instead of leading the Xungui group to compete with the civil officials!

So at this moment, the atmosphere in the imperial study was already a solemn mess.

Even if there are only three people in the imperial study at this moment, Yang Tinghe, Yang Yiqing and Wang Qiong.

Yang Tinghe is the head of the ministers, he is helpless to be framed, and Wang Qiong is the secretary of the military department, he is here to ask the teacher, and Yang Yiqing is coerced by Wang Qiong.

The reason why Yang Yiqing was coerced was because Yang Yiqing knew about the army!

Yang Yiqing once supervised the Shaanxi Ma Zheng, during this period to pacify the frontier invasion, after Zhengde ascended the throne, tens of thousands of Mongol troops invaded Guyuan, the chief military officer Cao Xiong refused to send troops to help, Yang Yiqing then led a light cavalry from Pingliang day and night march, resisted the invasion and launched a surprise attack, repelled the Mongol invasion......

If it is said that the current Jiajing Dynasty is most qualified to supervise the border towns, and even lead troops out of the customs to set off a big war, it must be Yang Yiqing.

This is also a personnel arrangement that can be accepted by the Manchu Dynasty, after all, Yang Yiqing is a civil official who is a serious official in the imperial examination, no matter how great his military merits are, the civil official may be jealous and jealous, but he will definitely not reject it.

Wang Qiong is the secretary of the military department, but he has no experience in leading troops to fight and has no experience in leading troops to quell the rebellion, so he pulled Yang Yiqing with him, and the meaning is also obvious, that is, to tell the emperor that there are not ministers who know about military affairs among the civil officials, and the emperor can appoint military personnel, why can't he trust the civil officials!

As for the rest of the cabinet ministers and some other bigwigs in the court, they are hanging high on their own affairs, and they seem unwilling to wade into the troubled waters of military affairs.

"Wang Aiqing is finished?" When Wang Qiong finished stating his views endlessly, Zhu Houwei looked up at the minister in front of him who was eager to spray his mouth full of saliva in his face.

Of course, Da Ming is not the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty has the Taizu Oath Tablet to restrain the emperor, but the Ming Dynasty does not, Wang Qiong really wants to learn Bao Zheng, that is disrespectful!

Zhu Houwei's casual attitude made Wang Qiong very unhappy, and said slightly angrily: "Please ask Your Majesty to issue an order to Wu Weihou, and escort him back to Beijing, convict him of using swords and soldiers, take his title, and demote him to a commoner!"

Wang Qiong also knew that it would be impossible for the emperor to kill Zhu Shou, who let Zhu Shou happen to have a great victory in Dushikou when he was appointed as the chief soldier of Xuanfu.

This great victory that shocked the world greatly inspired the hearts of all the people, and also swept away the decadent atmosphere in the army, if Zhu Shou was killed, it would inevitably make the people dissatisfied, and the generals of the world's army would be dissatisfied.

If it really comes to that point, the emperor will definitely push him Wang Qiong out to calm internal and external grievances, such an ending is definitely not acceptable to Wang Qiong himself, and he finally survived to this position, the most important thing for him to consider is already the name behind him, how can he lose his life because of a general!

"It is my will for Zhu Shou to lead the troops to the grassland!"

"The minister knows!" Wang Qiong choked and said: "If it weren't for Your Majesty's will, Wei Wu Hou would not dare to lead the troops out of the customs, but Your Majesty's move is not in line with the Ming system!"

"There is no need to talk to me about this system and that system, in my eyes, there is no law in the world that will not change for thousands of years, let alone an eternal system, and the world should be governed according to the times, rather than clinging to dogma, that way the world cannot be governed, and it is impossible for the society to survive forever!"

The three were dumbfounded......

It is true that when today's son really does not take any system in his eyes, as long as he thinks it is unreasonable, he will definitely do what should be changed, which has long formed a consensus in the court.

But knowing is knowing, conventions are conventions, and everyone can only pretend to be stupid when they are powerless to object, but if today's words are directly clarified, it is tantamount to blatant contempt and trampling!

This made the faces of the three important ministers a little unbearable.

"Your Majesty, be careful." Yang Tinghe couldn't help but sigh.

Zhu Houwei was speechless, as the Son of Heaven, the king of the Ming Empire, and the ruler of all peoples, he still had to be cautious?

How cautious is God......
