Chapter Seventy-Five: The Prince Is Stupid?

The crown prince controls the young army, there is an ancestral precedent to follow in this matter, and His Majesty's request is reasonable, and it is your turn to oppose it.

There is no opposition to the re-establishment of the Young Army.

It can limit the number of young troops.

Chen Ruyan of the military department came out, "Your Majesty, although it has been eight years since the invasion of Wara, my Ming Dynasty has recuperated under His Majesty's benevolent government, and the national strength has been raised, but the heavy damage was really far-reaching, and in the past eight years, it has repeatedly pacified the place, and the battle damage is not small. ”

Zhu Qiyu glanced at Chen Ruyan and asked Yu Qian, "Yu Shaobao, no one cares?" ”

Yu Qian was named and had to go out of the ranks, saying: "It is really stretched, and with 10,000 horses, the expenses for ordnance, armor and military salaries are paid by the household department, or by His Majesty's treasury?" ”

The former, state finances.

The latter, out of pocket.

Yu Qian threw out this question, which is to return the problem to Zhu Qiyu.

Man, I can barely make it up for you.

But what about the money......

You have to ask Chen Xun, the head of the household.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Chen Xun.

Chen Xun had no choice but to come out of the ranks, "It is indeed a bit difficult to come up with 10,000 people's military salaries, ordnance and equipment at once, mainly because there have been many floods in recent years, and it is necessary to reserve funds for water control, and the counterinsurgency in Huguang, Sichuan and other places costs a lot, and a lot of food is needed for pacification after the war, Your Majesty, why don't you reduce the number of young military dependents?" ”

It's a pity that Xu Youzhen, the minister who controls the water, died.

Chen Xundu said so, Zhu Qiyu knew that the household department really had no money.

looked at Zhu Jianji.

The meaning in the eyes, son, what do you think.

Zhu Jianji has been listening, in the face of the country's most elite career old fritters, his experience is still insufficient, a little unable to tell the truth of these people's words, but Chen Xun's words should be credible, Jingtai has indeed been in turmoil for eight years, and Daming has been difficult to breathe.

got up and asked Chen Xun, "Chen Shangshu, can the household department allocate an ordnance fund for 3,000 people?" ”

Chen Xun thought about it again and again, and silently calculated in his mouth, and after a long time, he sighed, "If you go back to Your Highness, if you transfer troops to form a young army of 3,000 people, and allow you to take the ordnance from the original guard, you only need to make up part of the ordnance and armor, you can." ”

Zhu Jianji nodded and looked at Yu Qian, "Yu Shaobao, are there three hundred people?" ”

Yu Qian was stunned, "Three hundred? ”

Not to mention Yu Qian, everyone was a little confused, didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say that he wanted the ordnance cost of 3,000 people, how could he only need 300 people, and the ordnance cost of 3,000 people to equip 300 people, what troops are so expensive?

Zhu Jianji nodded, "It's only three hundred." ”

Although Yu Qian was puzzled, he did not hesitate, "You can give His Highness five hundred and draw them from the regimental camp." ”

Three hundred young troops, too unbelievable.

Zhu Jianji shook his head, "The regimental battalion is the backbone of Gongwei Daming, not only to defend Mobei, but also to quell chaos everywhere, you can't move without permission, let's draw from the 26th guard of the pro-army." ”

The international situation in Daming in recent years is miserable, but it's okay, Mobei Wara has collapsed.

Let's say okay, the Jurchen is strong again.

And there are constant uprisings in the country.

Jingtai has not rebelled for a year in eight years.

The reason for this is that the national strength was cut in half after the Tumubao Change, the elite was lost, and in order to strengthen the regimental camp, the state taxes were heavily drawn, and the land annexation became more and more serious, and finally the people at the bottom bear the weight.

If you can't go on, it's no wonder if you don't do it.

Both the rebellion and the north of the town need elites.

Therefore, the heavy responsibility of the regiment and battalion is on the shoulders, and if you can, you will not move.

There are only 300 personnel, and the military budget is only 3,000 people, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has retreated to this point, if everyone still doesn't support it, the father and son will definitely flip the table.

Yu Qian said: "Weichen will let the twenty-six guards of the pro-army fully cooperate with His Highness!" ”

In addition to the Jinyi Guard, Teng Xiang and Wu Xiang Four Guards, the officials of the rest of the guards are all in the military department, except for worship, military horse transfer, and military salary allocation!

Why Zhu Qiyu was under so much pressure before Shi Heng's turmoil, the reason is here.

The generals have their own calculations.

Wenchen is in power.

He, the emperor, can only command tens of thousands of Jinyiwei, and whoever changes him will have to sleep at night.

Chen Xun also immediately said: "The household department will send someone to the East Palace as soon as possible to hand over the matter with His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Zhu Jianji hummed and sat down.

Get!

Today, Lao Zhu gave himself a big gift, but he didn't expect him to be silent, and he actually wanted to form a young army for himself, which was cheap Daddy insisted on.

It's not in vain that he doesn't want to let him play with women.

In other words, after Shi Heng was in turmoil and Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed, his thinking and way of doing things went to a higher level.

It's also very cool.

Lao Tzu has been a prince for 80 years, and it is still very fragrant to lie flat and gnaw on the old.

The ministers watched the prince sit down, and they were still muttering in their hearts.

Why did he only have 300 men?

Is it stupid?

In fact, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince insists, even if he can't get a young army of 10,000 people, it will be difficult to get a personal guard army of 5,000 or 3,000 people, with the cooperation of His Majesty, it will be difficult but it can be done.

As a result, the uneasy routine played cards, and the hole cards were shown when they came up, as long as there were three hundred people.

I don't understand.

This is not like the demon prince who strategized and beheaded Wuqing Marquis Shi Heng in front of Zhengyang Gate.

But one thing to say, the prince's performance in Fengtian Hall is remarkable.

Mature, steady, and old-fashioned.

And know the proportions!

Not at all like a ten-year-old, more like an adult who has been through the weather.

Zhu Qiyu was also surprised, what is the situation of the rabbit cub, how can he make such a big concession, what can three hundred people do, it is not enough for others to swallow one bite, since there is a military expenditure of 3,000, it should take 3,000 people.

However, his son has agreed, and Zhu Qiyu is not good at saying anything.

Let him establish the majesty of the prince.

Since he had the idea of Zen, Zhu Qiyu has been doing this, as long as his son decides something, whether it is right or wrong, he will never refute it.

coughed, "Is there anything else to do?" ”

There are courtiers playing one after another.

To everyone's surprise, His Majesty did not mention the matter of choosing a concubine for the crown prince.

Today's dynasty will take a long time.

By the time he retreated, it was almost noon.

Zhu Qiyu called Zhu Jianji to go back to the Qianqing Palace, on the way, Zhu Qiyu asked: "Jianji, why do you only need 300 people, don't you understand, Chen Xun agreed to the military expenses of 3,000 people, and Yu Qian will give you 3,000 people." ”

Zhu Jianji smiled, "Old Zhu, you don't understand, the soldiers are fine but not many." ”

Zhu Qiyu said angrily: "Talk about people!" ”

The son must have an idea.

Zhu Jianji said: "Jiang Yuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is an old slippery head, Lao Zhu has time to click on him, since he wants to form a young army of 300 people, I will use the weapons supervisor in a big way next." ”

Zhu Qiyu suddenly woke up, "Do you want to rebuild the Shenji Battalion?" ”

Zhu Jianji laughed, "Shenji Battalion? ”

Think too much.

I'm going to build a special forces, the kind that specializes in decapitation.

Of course, firearms are the workhorse.

Three hundred people, each with one Dongfeng sniper rifle is unrealistic.

Let the ordnance superintendent work overtime, first solve the problem of spring steel, and at the same time improve the steelmaking method and the forging process of bullet casings, and then improve the gunpowder, in about three years, everyone has an entry-level rifle, isn't it difficult?

If you have money, you can be willful!
