Jingtai's eight-year-old young army was established, the original three hundred young army, all eighteen to twenty-year-old sturdy young men, now eleven years later, these three hundred people have just passed the year of standing, just the peak state of life.

There was almost no outflow of 300 people, and even those with military merit remained in the young army.

It is better to be a general banner of the young army than to serve as a thousand households elsewhere.

This is the consensus of the young army.

As long as you mix in the young army, there will be some sooner or later, and it is safer - the young army will not charge and fight at all, it will be crushed in the air, is this kind of combat achievement unpleasant?

On the contrary, even if you are promoted to the commander or even commander of other guards, you will not have to fight the enemy face to face.

People die and birds rise to the sky.

No matter how great the military feats are, no matter how much wealth you have, you will be eggs when you die.

Therefore, although the young army has been expanded from 300 people to 300 people, the basic framework of Jingtai's eight-year young army is still there, but the 300 people of that year are now all generals.

So not to mention expanding by another 10,000 people, even if another 20,000 is enough to make up 50,000 people, Zhu Jianji is not worried about the combat strength of the young army.

Who knows......

Zhang Peng, the imperial historian of the right capital, suddenly stood up and said to Zhu Jianji: "Your Highness, since you plan to plow the Jurchens after the beginning of spring next year, you must win with one blow, if the young army is only 30,000 people, will it be too strong to catch it?" ”

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

Zhang Peng is a member of the East Palace Party.

For so many years, everyone has known things, but since Zhang Peng became the imperial history of the right capital, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has gradually grown up and matured, Zhang Peng's loyalty to the East Palace is only to impeach different parties in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

However, after Tang's relatives were eliminated and the civilian-official group was suppressed, where did the alien party come from.

So Zhang Peng has no sense of existence over the years.

But he can also be considered a success.

At this moment, he stood up and said that 30,000 young troops were not enough to level the Jurchens, and the implication was that it was not enough for the young army to expand by only 10,000, and it was necessary to continue to add people to the young army.

Zhu Jianji smiled: "Is there any strength that has not been caught......

Noncommittal.

I want to see the direction of the wind of the Jiuqing.

Lu Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "30,000 people, to pacify the Jurchens, the strength is indeed a little weak, but the weak force is not that it can't beat the Jurchens, but if the Jurchens want to run, 30,000 people are not enough to achieve the goal of encircling and chasing and intercepting the total annihilation, in this way, it can't be called a ploughing court!" ”

Plough Ting!

Two words, the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty are no strangers to this.

Strictly speaking, His Majesty Taizong used this technique against Mobei, but it was only effective...... The benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise.

Dong Fang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was listed, "Weichen thinks so." ”

has just been appointed as the secretary of the Criminal Department, Dong Fangtai understands who has the final say in the current Ming Dynasty, and hurriedly expressed his support for the need for the young army to continue to expand, so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can see his loyalty.

Lin Cong, the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, came out of the ranks, "Why do the young army need to expand again, Weichen thinks that the 30,000 young army can completely destroy the Jurchen, as for the Jurchen to escape, if the 30,000 young army can't be surrounded and intercepted, don't worry, when the young army goes to the Thunder Plough Court, Han Bin and Liu Fu are watching the play on the side, and Zhu Yong, Zhao Fu, these border army generals, are drinking at Shanhaiguan." ”

Encircle, chase and intercept, there are border troops and Liaodong Division!

Lin Cong was actually raised by the princelings, without the Ministry of Agriculture formed by the prince, Lin Cong's road to Jiuqing would still be very long, and at this moment, he was out to oppose the continued expansion of the young army, not against the prince.

Zhu Jianji was a little surprised.

Lin Cong is going to do it against Lao Tzu?

Unexpectedly, Lin Cong continued: "The expansion of the young army, in fact, Weichen has no opinion, even if the entire regiment and battalion are reorganized into the young army, it is also the trend of the times, but don't forget why the young army is a young army, it is because of Dongfeng firearms!" And how expensive is the cost of Dongfeng firearms, everyone should also know that the young army is expanding too much at one time, so how much money does it take to make the expanded part of the young army have combat effectiveness? ”

The current state of distress is...... Daming didn't have that much money.

Money is needed everywhere!

Zhu Jianji bowed slightly, yes, Lin Cong still has a view of the overall situation.

Indeed, the young army only dares to expand by 10,000 at present.

Because there is no money.

No matter how much you expand, there is not enough money to equip Dongfeng firearms, it is meaningless.

The rest of Jiuqing agreed with Lin Cong's speech, but Bai Gui, the secretary of the ministry, said that I should make more efforts in overseas trade to protect the treasury revenue, and at the same time, the people's livelihood water conservancy projects should also be strengthened, with the promotion and planting of sweet potatoes, the population will usher in an explosive period, and when the treasury is full, the whole army can be equipped with firearms.

Everyone understands these truths.

But why did Baekyu make a big point?

The intention is great.

In this sentence, Bai Gui, as the secretary of the ministry, took the initiative to express his support for all the next expansion plans of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince - because the focus is on the words "the whole army is equipped with firearms".

If the Ming Dynasty wants to defend, it is enough to have a young army.

The whole army is equipped with firearms, and if it is not fired, it will look good?

As soon as Bai Gui's words fell, all the governors immediately seconded the proposal.

Of course, the generals wanted to fight.

The rest of the seven Qings, except for Hang Min, who had not yet arrived, all expressed their support one after another.

Even Yu Qian is supporting!

Zhu Jianji couldn't help but be happy in his heart, after clearing out the Tang family's relatives and suppressing the civil official group, under the operation of Lao Zhu and himself, among the central courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, even those who read, almost all of them were the main battle faction.

Such a court structure will prompt the Ming Dynasty to move towards a militaristic path.

But this is exactly what Zhu Jianji wants!

Said slightly: "The Jurchen Li Manzhu and his son Li Gunaha wolf ambitions, these years have been behind us a lot, repeatedly wandering Liaodong, in a vain attempt to invade my Ming territory in the south, if I Daming ignores this, the country faces what village, it is imperative to conquest the Jurchen, but what Lin Shangshu said is extremely true, there is Liaodong Dusi and Shanhaiguan border army, the young army of 30,000 is enough, the money in the treasury should be used on the blade, and when the country is really rich, and as Bai Shangshu said, all the heroes of the Ming Dynasty will be equipped with Dongfeng firearms. ”

The ministers hurriedly praised His Highness Shengming.

Zhu Jianji continued: "The development of the country depends on the seven ministries and nine secretaries, and the governors of the five military capitals, the image in the minds of the Wanbang and future generations in the early Ming Dynasty is the Han and Tang dynasties or the two Song Dynasty, it depends on how you build the backbone of my Ming Dynasty local capital and border soldiers!" ”

Whether a country is hard or not, the Son of Heaven and the Prince are very important.

But in the end, it still depends on whether the generals and civil servants are hard or not, and whether the army soldiers can be tough!

When everyone heard this, their spirits were lifted.

At this moment, they found that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty was a bit of a king.

Things are agreed.

The crowd withdrew.

Yu Qian didn't leave.

After the other courtiers left, Yu Qian sighed: "Your Highness, what a big deal this is to conquer the Jurchens, you shouldn't say it, after the news leaked, Li Gu Naha was prepared, and when the time comes, when you go north to conquer the Jurchens, it will be the same as Taizu back then." ”

The Jurchen knew that if he couldn't beat him, he would run.

He also said: "In fact, the young army is expanding, His Royal Highness only needs to inform the military department, and the micro-minister can quietly cooperate." ”

Zhu Jianji was overjoyed.

I didn't expect Yu Qian to support himself so much.

smiled: "Yu Shaobao don't worry, the Jurchens will compete with us." ”

Because Chen Ruyan gave advice to Li Gunaha!
