022 Loyal generals

"Minister, please add artillery to Dengzhou Wei."

"Minister, please add artillery to Liaodongwei."

In fact, except for Zhu Youzhen, all of you here have used artillery on the battlefield and know the benefits of this thing. What's more, the fact that this saint was able to come to see the firing of artillery in person today also shows the status of firearms in this person's heart.

Before the smoke cleared, Sun Yuanhua and Yuan Chonghuan bowed down separately to play.

"Let's talk flat."

"Yesterday, I discussed with the Cabinet and the Ministry of War to establish the Ministry of War. With several positions, you should soon be able to understand the military department's construction ideas and measures. Zhu Youzhen said while thinking, and sorted out his thoughts while talking. Seeing Wu Zhi standing and recording the difficulty, he didn't say any more, but turned around and returned to the military tent in the camp.

Zhang Weixian, Yuan Chonghuan, Sun Yuanhua and several lieutenants they brought sat down on the left and right. Zhu Youzhen then continued:

"Originally, I wanted to hear your opinions, but then I also knew that if I didn't lift the lid first, I guess you wouldn't have the courage to do so. Of course, the imperial court did not have the conditions to let a few people take such a risk. I will say again, this is not alarmist, if you change, it is nine deaths and one life, and if you don't change, you will die ten times and have no life. ”

These people can be one in a million smart people, otherwise they would not not not have stood out in the scientific examination and can quickly turn into military management talents, and they don't know the disadvantages of the Ming Dynasty.

"There is a saint tomorrow, and I will be prosperous in the Ming Dynasty, for ten thousand years." Hearing the seriousness of what the emperor said, these people could only reply with this kind of officialdom. They know very well in their hearts that there are no taboos in what the emperor says, and if he says a wrong sentence himself, he will be manipulated by someone with a heart or a family with a heart, and he will lose his political future at the least, and he will be imprisoned and die at the worst.

"It's all unintentional." Zhu Youzhen understood that now was not the Wenhua Palace, but the occasion for foul language. Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, everyone, especially the deputy generals who eat military rations all year round, still felt that although this person looked young, he seemed to have a good temper.

"You are all famous in Donghuamen, which 10,000-year-old dynasty is there in the history books." Everyone knew you were right, but no one answered.

"How to change. It's hard to say, it's not hard to say. Zhu Youzhen took a sip of tea, paused for a while, and mastered the rhythm. He knew that whether it was Zhang Weixian, the hereditary reckless prince, or Sun Yuanhua, or even Yuan Chonghuan, they had all proposed no less than a dozen letters of military reform within the scope of their own control in history. Today, if we talk about the details of army building, we will certainly not be able to win their heartfelt approval. The only effective way to say this is to make full use of the advantages of one's own vision and to explain clearly and clearly one's thinking on the next stage of military reform in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.

"Four words in total." Zhu Youzhen stood up and said.

"For the two words of civil officials, simplify administration. For the military attache two words, elite soldiers. Put it together is just like these four words: crack soldiers and streamline administration. ”

Zhu Youzhen deeply knows that he must not put forward specific opinions, but he must put forward a highly generalized macro idea that can put in countless suggestions.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, several people present fell into deep thought.

Zhu Youzhen knocked on the table and let these people come back to their senses first.

"Elite soldiers? What is fine? What to increase? What are those to reduce? It all has to be considered holistically. ”

"A few days ago, there was an excerpt from the Ministry of War that gave me a five-year Pingliao excerpt in the matter. I criticized the eight words of commendable courage and bullshit. "Zhu Youzhen took a look at Yuan Chonghuan, what's the matter, I have cleared mines for you in advance.

"Yuanhua," Zhu Youzhen let go of Yuan Chonghuan, who was looking at the ground with a weak heart, and first named Sun Yuanhua's name.

"I have set up an armament department in the military headquarters, a firearms academy at the Royal Army Academy, and a royal academy for your teacher, and I have reserved a place for you in all three places. Of course, I also know that you have been thinking about the Dengzhou coastal defense and fleet that you have been preparing for five years. If you want to go, I don't object. ”

Sun Yuanhua's life self-setting plan has undergone major changes, and he was a little trance and couldn't speak for a while.

"In Jingshi, you must be Mr. Xu Guangqi's second lieutenant. When you arrive in Dengzhou, the affairs of the army will be the second lieutenant, and I don't want to, nor can I let you be the governor, you think about it. ”

Zhu Youzhen knew that this goods first fought with the chief soldier Zhang Keda and Kong Youde in Dengzhou, and was later executed by Chongzhen, and let Kong Youde take more than 40 cannons and tens of thousands of muskets to invest in Houjin, becoming the main force of the Qing firearms battalion.

"The minister is upset for Master Sun."

Sun Yuanhua was still thinking excitedly, but who knew that a bearded deputy general in the personal soldiers behind him stood up with a shout.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but be a little surprised, isn't this product?

Sure enough, Sun Yuanhua hurriedly scolded:

"There has never been a place for you to speak. Your Majesty, Kong Youde and Wuren have no form, and please forgive Your Majesty. ”

Well, it seems that the level of your management subordinates really needs to be improved. Kong Youde is actually similar to Mao Wenlong, and both of them are based on the aborigines of Liaodong as the main source of troops. Their feelings for the land, homeland, and peers in Liaodong are naturally different from those of outsiders Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Yuanhua, and naturally there are big differences in the strategy of using troops. At the same time, the Liao people were almost marginal in the Ming court, and they could obtain less logistical and political support, and more suspicion and discrimination, which contributed to the accident of the Wuqiao Mutiny.

Similarly, this is where later generations have debated Yuan Chonghuan's killing of Mao Wen.

"That's right." Oh my God. Zhu Youzhen thought in his heart, I have been making gestures for so many days, don't I just want to get the result that you can speak freely? He hurriedly spoke out to stop Sun Yuanhua.

"It's a man." Zhu Youzhen also learned from his predecessors with a broad-minded appearance. "A general, how can you be a general. You continue. ”

"Sun Shuaiye worked hard in Dengzhou, and for the matter of buying guns in Dengzhou, Shuai Ye just sent dozens of ginseng to the capital. Why can't you be the governor of Dengzhou? ”

Sun Yuanhua had already given up at this time.

Zhu Youzhen looked at him a little funny and a little sad.

"There is so much silver, Dengzhou wants you to have some relationship, I don't support it, but I can't blame it. Whose relationship is gone, I don't want to know now and can't blame. To blame, I can only blame for my incompetence, so that the lineman not only shed his own blood but also pay for it himself. This is a matter that the imperial court cannot afford to compare with the border guards, and of course it is also a matter that I am sorry for the border guards. ”

"Your Majesty." Yuan Chonghuan, Sun Yuanhua, and such a deputy general, who guarded the frontier and ran through the military department, felt that they had finally let the emperor know their suffering, and they had to kneel down again with tears in their eyes.

The idea of feudal loyalty kills people, so it is satisfied?

You are satisfied, but I am still not satisfied.
