I found that there was silence in the hall.

Zhou Xian suddenly realized that he was a topic terminator.

Zhou Xian said with a smile: "Say, say whatever you want, you can speak freely." ”

"After all, you have to lose to win."

"Every time we lose a war, we must find out the reasons for the defeat, so that we can find out what is missing and avoid making similar mistakes."

Zhou Xian's words made the ministers breathe a sigh of relief.

This sentence can be regarded as the most amiable thing that this horse master has said since he was in prison......

Sun Chengzong put away the embarrassment on his face, and said 1510: "Master Ma, the old minister thinks that the successive defeats of our army are a matter of morale. ”

"The military salaries of the border army have always erupted into a lot of problems of exploitation and deduction, which has caused many low-level soldiers in the border army to be resentful."

"They don't have military salaries, so naturally they won't serve the court wholeheartedly."

"Of course, that's not the most important thing."

"The most important thing is that our border army now has symptoms of enemy phobia. The old minister thought that this was a legacy of historical problems. ”

Sun Chengzong said it very tactfully.

The so-called historical problem remains.

Isn't that the famous Tumu Fort change in the history of the Ming Dynasty?

Indeed, since the Tumubao Incident, the army of the Ming Dynasty has developed a cowardly and fearful psychology towards the Mongol tribes and Jiannu in the north.

And it is precisely the current Mongolian Warat tribe and Jiannu that are the greatest threat to the Ming Dynasty.

I can't beat it, and I don't have any money.

Who wants to go to the front line desperately?

"In addition, the old minister thought that the army of our dynasty was already like a plate of scattered sand."

"It is impossible to really organize a large army group operation."

"So you can only rely on natural danger to hold on, so you can't go out and kill the enemy."

Although Sun Chengzong has a mixed reputation.

But his military strategic vision is still very good.

These points pointed out by him are indeed the problems of the Ming border army.

It is also a drawback of the Ming Dynasty system.

Especially the last one.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty usually only obeyed the generals who had led the troops for a long time.

Because the forces of the imperial court were scattered.

Take the border town of Xuanfu as an example.

There are only 50,000 fighting forces over there.

However, they were scattered in different passes, such as Wucheng and several other cities.

Thus the 50,000 people were divided into several waves.

This resulted in groups of three or five, and in one large side there was a small gang on the mountain.

It's really time for war to use troops.

The governor and the general army were transferred, and the defenders of the gates below were somewhat lazy.

There are even those who specialize in working against the general army and secretly tricking them.

A border town like that.

The situation in the other eight border towns is not much better.

However, to confront Jiannu and Mongol Warat, it is obviously not enough to send troops from only one border town.

If you want to use more troops, you have to transfer them from several other border towns.

There are more fancy intestines and contradictions and even intrigues.

Not only is it difficult to combine the troops of the nine sides.

Even if they can work together by chance, no one can command them.

Because they are all bigwigs on their respective turf.

The nine bigwigs met, and the power was about the same.

Whoever is allowed to lead, others will also clearly show that they are not convinced.

It's still Sun Chengzong's vicious eyes.

pointed out the redundant soldiers in the Ming Dynasty and the small thoughts of those who were seriously ill on the nine sides.

But that's all a superficial problem.

A deeper question, Sun Chengzong did not say.

Zhou Xian first recognized Sun Chengzong's views.

"Mrs. Sun is right. Then I'll put the icing on the cake. ”

Zhou Xian paused and directly clarified his point of view: "I intend to set up a military and political department in order to unify the dispatch of the nine-sided military forces of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"At the same time, from now on, the nine border towns will rotate their stations with each other."

"In this way, it can not only experience the enthusiasm of the border army, but also be regarded as a military exercise in peacetime."

"All in all, the border army of the Ming Dynasty cannot be idle, and the major garrisons in wartime guard each other and complement each other. Military orders are issued, and no one is allowed to trespass in the middle. ”

Zhou Xian's words came out.

Sun Chengzong, who was above the hall, looked suddenly.

He got it!

I have to say that there is still a way for the horse master.

This plan does not harm the basic interests of the border army.

On the contrary, it can gradually weaken their influence and deep-rooted strategic ability in the original location.

Rotate each other to guard the nine sides.

It will also be able to strengthen the operational capabilities of the border army.

In this way, there is no situation where the soldiers of the south go to the north to fight and are not familiar with the terrain of the north.

At the same time, it can also avoid the wrong way to support the army in times of war!

You know, this situation sounds hilarious, and it has happened from time to time throughout history.

All in all, there is a balance between the powers and responsibilities of the nine sides.

There is no need to compare themselves with each other.

It's quite a clever tactic.

Sun Chengzong looked at Zhou Xian in disbelief.

As if he didn't think that the young master would be able to think of such a perfect review plan.

It should be that there is a master behind the guidance.

Who is the master?

Could it be that the emperor is Chitose?

Thinking of this, Sun Chengzong shook his head again.

How could it be an emperor?

And after Zhou Xian's plan came out, most of the officials above the temple expressed their approval.

After the Donglin Party supported Zhou Xian to build the highway before, they felt that this horse master was not so disgusting.

There's still a pleasing dimension to it.

So now Zhou Xian took advantage of the situation to propose the policy of nine-sided rotation.

The Donglin Party people bought a favor and expressed their support.

At this time, it is estimated that the most depressed people in the entire Ming Dynasty should belong to the bigwigs who are still supervising the army and garrisoning the troops in the nine border towns......

They sat on the nine sides, unaware that the civil and military ministers in the court were cooperating with the master of the horse to stage a good show of cutting cakes!

"Ladies and gentlemen, did you hear me?"

Sun Chengzong took the lead in replying: "The thousand-year-old holy candle shines, and the old minister must serve the court!" ”

He admired Zhou Xian from the bottom of his heart.

In history, Sun Chengzonggui was the emperor's teacher.

As Emperor Chongzhen's teacher, whether it is in internal affairs or external military affairs, the emperor has a high probability of listening to his opinions.

But now.

The up-and-coming master of the horse showed a greater wisdom than that of him, a well-informed old man.

Other officials also expressed their attitudes: "The ministers are willing to serve the imperial court, and they will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire!" ”

Just go to the soup and forget it.

It's better to say than to sing.

Zhou Xianming said he wouldn't believe these guys.

Especially Jia Weikun, he is also a relative of the emperor.

It stands to reason that the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty also has his part.

But this guy is even more Donglin than the Donglin Party.

The forbidden army of the imperial court was deprived of the armaments he had brought with him.

Out of the city, even a rebel army can't be defeated.

What is the use of such a nobleman???

But because there was no suitable candidate, Zhou Xian could only turn a blind eye and quietly wait for the opportunity.
