Cracking down on corruption is a long-term task, and Zhu Youxiao has already made up his mind about it.

And being honest does not mean that you are so poor that you can't eat meat and can't feed your family.

The pension system for retirement was also set, and the mandatory rules for officials to have servants, grooms, etc., were abolished. Even, Zhu Youxiao is considering giving some subsidies to officials.

This can be regarded as the end of benevolence and righteousness, there is no harshness that makes you run fast without grazing, right?

In that case, no matter how greedy you are, don't blame me for being ruthless. Punish you, justifiably, and I will be at ease.

Zhu Youxiao sharpened the knife quickly, but he was still silent. He was going to not only purge the Ministry of Rites, but also show the Korean envoys the hardness and domineering of the Emperor of the Celestial Empire.

If the Ming Dynasty wants to regain its strength, it can no longer rely on those officials who are corrupt and incompetent and rely on reading to make progress. Zhu Youxiao has long seen this clearly.

When those corrupt officials shamelessly asked for bribes from the Korean envoys, the Ming soldiers who sweated and trained in Beijing, as well as the Ming officers and soldiers who fought bravely in Liaodong and Guizhou, were the powerful forces that Zhu Youxiao relied on the most.

The horse's hooves rumbled like thunder; The dust is like smoke, and the old is not dispersed and the new rises.

Rows of Ming cavalry galloped across the field in a tight horizontal formation, with a spear flag pointing forward in the middle of the queue, and the knights holding the gun flag were about the speed and neatness of the horizontal formation.

Sometimes fast and sometimes slow, under the guidance of the gun flag, the whole horizontal team tries to keep a close distance, as well as a relatively straight queue.

Huang Degong's eyes widened, standing on the lookout, eating a mouth full of dust, but he did not blink to observe the training of his officers and soldiers.

It didn't take long to be transferred to the Beijing camp, and in about two months, he had already understood the essence of cavalry wall tactics.

In fact, the reason is also very simple, rush to the enemy in a tight and neat queue, locally form more than one, and use the strength of the organization and the collective to make up for the lack of horsemanship.

It's easier to understand with Huang Degong: the enemy has superb riding skills, but he only has two hands. At the same time as he slashed once, let's cut him three or four times, see who can parry? Even if it is a fight for one, the Ming army has made a lot of money.

Huang Degong relied on his riding skills and martial arts, but he also knew that there were very few cavalry in the Ming army who could be as good as him.

Even so, he had imagined the scene of the cavalry wall crushing over, and he would never be able to resist it. At most, you can spell out two with one knife on the left and one knife on the right, and that's it.

And according to his martial arts skills and actual combat experience, he can still do it by cutting down three or five Jiannu. If calculated according to this ratio, the front of the cavalry wall will be hard to shake a comparable number of Jiannu cavalry, which is a situation where only wins and does not lose.

According to the number of troops of the Ming Dynasty, this is very terrifying. One year, at most two years can be trained, who can resist a million cavalry?

Thinking that he led such an invincible cavalry to gallop and kill and sweep away the enemy, Huang Degong was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut. Isn't this his dream, finally coming true!

The walls of cavalry were fast and slow, and sometimes turned to charge and kill, and the proficiency and neatness had improved amazingly compared to last year.

"Kill, kill, kill!" Ma Wugao raised the strangely shaped, but already handy saber, and the cavalry of his department roared angrily, and rushed towards the grass in front of him.

A pair of sabers arced through the air, chopping grass handles into debris and flying them, trampled by the rumbling hooves of horses, messy in the wind.

After riding a horse and rushing to kill, he was still galloping, and there was a high slope in front of him, and suddenly there were explosions one after another.

The fire, smoke, and loud noise only made the war horse pause slightly, and under the manipulation of the rider, it continued to gallop with its head held high.

This is a simulated battlefield situation, the guns are roaring in unison, and the war horses are not startled and controlled, which can be regarded as qualified. And this test has been going on for several months, and judging from the reaction, the war horse has basically adapted.

The speed of the cavalry finally slowed down, and under the guidance of the spear officer, it gradually staggered and ordered, and became a column, marching along a narrow path to a small river and stopped.

Ma Wu and the cavalry all breathed a sigh of relief, feeling quite comfortable with this training, their tense expressions relaxed, and some even laughed.

Stopping by the river to stop the horse, Ma Wu and the cavalry jumped off their horses, and then they were completely relaxed. or lead the drinking horse, or tie the horse to wash away the dust from the face.

Ma Wu stroked the horse's head and neck, smiled heartily, and praised: "Chengfei, good look, I will add two more beans to you at night." ”

was bullied by Ma Chengfei in Guangning, and Ma Wu didn't have any tricks, who made Ma Chengfei an official!

But Ma Chengfei was transferred away after the Battle of Guangning, and Ma Wu stayed in Ningyuan for a period of time and was also transferred back to Beijing. I can't see it, I still want to, I just have a war horse, so I simply named it Chengfei, which is a small revenge, and I miss it a little.

Chengfei snorted and ran to the river to drink water. Ma Wu doesn't need to lead, he is already familiar with each other and gets along well.

Groups of cavalry came one after another, and after a round of training, they felt more skilled. There were also officers who were not very satisfied, and scolded the soldiers who did not cooperate well enough or made mistakes.

But the episodes soon passed, and after the horses had finished drinking, the horsemen rode slowly and assembled at the camp.

Huang Degong ate enough dust, but he was not angry. In the past few months, he has seen the progress of his officers and soldiers with his own eyes, and his heart is very happy and joyful.

"Actually, it won't take the autumn, and now you can pull out and fight two battles with Jiannu." Huang Degong rode towards the camp and said to the captain of the guard beside him: "Jiannu has never seen this kind of fighting, and he will definitely lose." ”

The captain of the pro-soldier laughed twice and said, "My lord has fought face-to-face with Jiannu, and he said that if he can win, he will definitely win." ”

After a pause, he added, "Cavalry artillerymen should also be very powerful." When the establishment is complete, it will be easier to fight Jiannu. ”

Huang Degong rolled his eyes and thought about it, nodded, and said, "I have seen the power of the cannon in Ningyuan, and it is indeed sharp. ”

In fact, Huang Degong and others did not know exactly the true role of cavalry artillery.

Although this is the suggestion of His Majesty the Emperor, it is implemented by the Ministry of War and the Martial Arts. But Zhu Youxiao also knows nothing, and the specific improvement still depends on the people below to complete.

Napoleon's ability to sweep through the European powers was an important factor in the development and use of artillery.

Among them, Zhu Youxiao knew two aspects, one was the extensive use of cavalry artillery, and the other was the close-range bombardment of large-scale artillery groups.

The so-called cavalry artillery, which is more similar to the dragoons, is a musketeer on horseback and an artillery unit marching on horseback.

Obviously, in the speed of maneuvering, the cavalry artillery was definitely superior to the infantry artillery. Coupled with the fact that the guns used by the cavalry artillery were relatively light, the advantage of maneuverability was even more obvious.

It is precisely because of the speed of maneuvering that the cavalry artillery has the ability to cooperate with the cavalry.

Not only that, but the speed advantage of the mounted artillery made it the best artillery reserve. If you can quickly arrive at the battlefield and devote yourself to key operations when supporting infantry operations, the effect can be imagined.

Of course, cavalry artillery is inferior to heavy artillery in terms of power because it is mostly light artillery. If it is an equal enemy or a friend, it is easy to be suppressed by heavy artillery.

But this flaw was not a problem at all when fighting against Jiannu. Not to mention the Jiannu cavalry, even the infantry, and the lack of artillery and artillery to support the operation.

Although the cavalry of the Ming army had dragoons and cavalry wall tactics, in Zhu Youxiao's opinion, the offensive firepower was still insufficient.

If you combine the three, the power of artillery, the protection of artillery by dragoons, and the horizontal push of cavalry wall tactics, you should be completely sure of victory, right?

The lion fights the rabbit, and will do his best.

In fact, the principle upheld by Zhu Youxiao is still the word "stability"; if there is no certainty of victory, we will not fight a battle, and if we do not have well-equipped and strictly trained troops, we will not send them to the battlefield.

The result of this is that the results achieved on the front line seem to be small, but the gap between the military strength and Jiannu is getting wider and wider.

To put it bluntly, it's a big move. When all the preparations are completed, the battle with Jiannu will have a crushing advantage.

In an uproar, chasing and fighting, a set of consecutive moves, not to destroy Jiannu, but also to beat Jiannu and scrap it.

This is not boasting, nor is it arrogance, but the combined effect of millions of silver smashed, as well as the new military system, new weapons and equipment, and other factors.

Seeing the camp gate, Ma Wu and other generals greeted him.

Huang Degong did not eat the soil in vain, but looked carefully and carefully, pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of each person one by one, and then entered the camp to formally summarize and prepare for the afternoon training.

And this is just a microcosm of the Tiger Leap Battalion with a strength of 5,000 troops, 3,000 front cavalry, 1,500 dragoons, and 500 cavalry artillery, which can not only fight independently, but also are well-equipped and strictly trained, and the combat power that can burst out is even more expected.

………………………

It is late spring, the catkins are flying in the capital, the flowers are blooming, and people can already smell the breath of summer.

In this lukewarm, pleasant time, a whirlwind that shook officialdom blew.

The grade is the largest in the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Lin Yaoyu, and Liu Mao in the left of the Rite Department, plus the host and guest Qing officials Shi Langzhong, the staff outside Lang, and the director of the Admiral's Guild, a total of fifteen officials of all sizes have been dismissed.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate Zuodu Yu Shi Bi Zisu personally presided over this big case, the information provided by the East Factory, the Criminal Department presided over the trial, and the emperor rarely used the factory guard to handle the case in the open.

But everyone knows that the emperor Long Yan was furious, and angrily denounced the officials who solicited bribes on the "Daming Forum" for being incorruptible and shameful, and disgraced the face of the Heavenly Empire.

This kind of accusation is very serious, and the image and reputation of the Celestial Empire are the most important. However, these officials showed such a greedy and shameless face in front of the envoys of the vassal state, and it was not too much to kill the capital.

Zhu Youxiao has already expressed his attitude, and it depends on how the Criminal Department handles the size of the punishment. If he is not satisfied, the next department to be cleaned up and rectified will be the turn of the Criminal Department.

As for the Korean envoys, Zhu Youxiao can be regarded as a good person, and issued an edict to recognize Li Liang's succession to the throne.

However, Zhu Youxiao did not send an envoy to the edict, but only explained in the edict: "The affairs of Tongdong are a little calmer, and according to the old practice, he still sends important ministers to hold the festival book and complete this canon." ”

In other words, the North Korean envoy did not achieve its full purpose. According to the practice of hundreds of years, sending edicts, issuing edicts, and crowning clothes is a circle of processes, but now it is only half of it.

The Korean envoy did not know why, and after a few days of wandering in the Tongwen Pavilion, someone finally came, it was Feng Yuanbiao, the new promotion of the Ministry of Rites.

As a new science and technology scholar, Feng Yuanbiao first served as the county magistrate of Zou County, Shandong, and appeased Li Min and healed the wounds of the war after Xu Hongru's rebellion.

After being transferred back to the capital, Feng Yuanbiao served as the director of the Department of Ceremonies and Officials of the Ministry of Rites, and he was very upright, and impeached Liu Mao for soliciting bribes from Liu Mao in the matter.

This time, the host and guest of the Ministry of Rites were almost wiped out, but Feng Yuanbiao got the Holy Favor, jumped two levels, and was promoted to the middle of the matter.

Feng Yuanbiao and the North Korean envoys talked secretly for more than an hour, and outsiders didn't know what they were talking about. But the next day, the Korean envoy departed for his homeland. Obviously, the DPRK envoy knew a lot of inside information and was in a hurry to go back to report and discuss.

For the officials of the Ming Dynasty, how the Korean envoys were was was not their concern at all. However, the political direction of the capital affects their future.

The removal of a number of officials from the Ministry of Rites and Officials demonstrated the emperor's determination and unremitting anti-corruption actions.

And Wang Sanshan was summoned separately in the Qianqing Palace, which also means that another officialdom shock has begun.

Jingcha has always been a tool for the party to fight against differences, but this year is very different. No matter what party or faction, all corrupt and mediocre officials are worried in their hearts.

Knowing people and being good at work, Zhu Youxiao is getting better and better at working, and he can still achieve his goal without being tired.

And the secret performance of Teacher Yuan, the governor of Denglai, allowed him to temporarily ignore Liu Aita's affairs anyway and concentrate on other work.

Yuan Keli is worthy of being a generation of famous ministers with eloquent talents, big minds, and overall views, although there is no "unpredictable prophet" of Zhu Youxiao, but he still came to the correct conclusion about Liu Aita anyway.

"The minister remembered that Liaoyang Yina fell into the city, and Xingzuo's words could not be believed. I also thought that because of the intermittent use, the real soldier was wonderful, so I added a title and transferred Yang Jie to Jin Yingkui......"

Teacher Yuan's meaning is very clear, although he can't believe Liu Aita's words of surrender, but he can't refuse him thousands of miles away. Because the intermittent use is a soldier's wonderful use, a letter with a title is just a letter, which can be given to Liu Aita.

Moreover, Mr. Yuan also agreed that the emperor should implement the action as soon as possible, so as not to worry about long nights and dreams. Therefore, he also explained his arrangement in the tantric recital.

Dengzhen General Soldier Zhang Keda led the officers and soldiers of the two associations to rush to Luda, and Jinzhen He Zan also led the first association to participate in the battle, and made an appointment with Liu Aita for one month.

As soon as the deadline expires, the Ming army will land on Changsheng Island, and if Liu Aita really has the intention of rectifying, he can summon his army to meet him. Changsheng Island is very close to Fuzhou, and Liu Aita responds to it, so it can be captured in one fell swoop.

Of course, in addition to the general soldier Zhang Keda leading the troops to respond by sea, the Ming army will also take the initiative to attack and contain Jiannu, so as to facilitate Liu Aita anyway.

"At this time, the Liaozhen army went east, Lushun attacked the horns, and the Dongjiang River attacked and responded, and the restoration of southern Liaoning seemed to be profitable. But if you are perfect, you must judge the situation, know your opponent and know yourself, and you can win, so you should be cautious......"

Looking at Teacher Yuan's arrangement, Zhu Youxiao also had to give a thumbs up. Not only lose no time, but also act cautiously, clever, really clever.
