Although the system of gold and red cards is very good, it is based on strength. Without strong national and military strength, the golden red card will not play much role, and it will even be a joke.

For example, at the beginning of Jiajing, the leader of Mengyang, Si Lun Jiaomu Bang, comforted Han Lie, sent troops to attack Burma, broke it, killed and plundered, and divided its land. At that time, the Ming Dynasty used a gold letter and a red card to mediate to no avail.

When the Burmese Mangrui style arose, hoping that the Ming Dynasty would recognize it and grant officials, the Ming Dynasty was negligent and negligent, which aroused the dissatisfaction of Myanmar and led to the independence of Burma.

It was also in the middle of the Jiajing period that due to the destruction of the Ming Dynasty's golden red card system, the improper handling of Myanmar prompted Burma to break away from the Ming Dynasty, Mang Ruiti became the king, established his own power, expanded his power, and began to become enemies of the Ming Dynasty.

Making a golden red card is just a gesture, and it is not difficult to issue it. But when the brand didn't play a role, the face also crackled.

It's not my face, it's the face and dignity of the Ming Empire.

The emperor's gaze froze, a little reluctant, and a little helpless put the golden red card back.

In the southwest, or in Yunnan, the strength of the Ming army is not strong enough, and the issuance of this golden red card will have to wait a little longer.

If it is issued, it is better not to issue it, and the prestige of the Ming Empire will be lost.

Yunnan, miasma is terrifying, dense jungle. Similarly, neighboring countries such as Myanmar and Annam, the summer heat is unbearable, mosquitoes are rampant, the terrain is complex, and the tropical and subtropical jungles are even more terrifying.

Environment, climate, water and soil, miasma, poisonous insects...... These are the most dangerous and complex enemies, not the barbarian fighting power.

Therefore, the Tusi soldiers in Yunnan are the most suitable ready-made troops, and the Ming army has to be stationed for a long time and live in Yunnan for a period of time to adapt.

Of course, it is not necessarily Yunnan, but in the southwest of Guizhou, Guizhou and Sichuan, there are also similar environments and climates. In other words, in these provinces, elite divisions suitable for subtropical jungle operations can also be trained.

Sharpen the knife and cut firewood! I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!

The Emperor slowly closed the drawer until the gold medal disappeared from sight.

……………….

The capital is still immersed in the celebration of the New Year, although it is the fifth day of the new year.

Mao Wenlong and the others entered the Beijing Division at this time, and the feeling of being lost for a long time suddenly rose, and Gou Zhenhuai was even stronger than Mao Wenlong.

The reason is very simple, Mao Wenlong has not been to Beijing for more than 20 years, and his impression has been blurred for most of the time, and Gou Zhenhuai has only been in the past few years.

When he was far away, Mao Wenlong's heart was already shaking. Standing in the midst of the wind and snow, the capital is majestic and magnificent, showing the majesty and strength of the empire.

"It's been renovated." Gou Zhenhuai said with emotion: "My imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty should be so solemn and mighty that the four Yi guests are subdued." ”

Mao Wenlong nodded, and also sighed at the financial resources of the imperial court and the strength of the country.

Of course, they didn't know that this was a city wall repaired by the imperial court in exchange for work, using the thousands of Liao people who entered the customs. In addition, there is also the cleaning of the ruins of the three major halls and the construction of facilities in the capital.

It can be said that the capital is not quite the same as it was a few years ago, from the inside to the outside. I dare not say anything else, neat, orderly, stable, the emperor dares to say that it is the first in the world.

From the mouths of the missionaries, the emperor also knew what European cities were like now, dirty, messy, and poor were the best descriptions.

When Mao Wenlong, Gou Zhenhuai and others entered the city, their eyes were also bright.

The wide streets, the clean streets, and the shops along the streets make it easy to see the regularity of the roads even if they are covered with snow.

Sidewalks were padded on both sides of the road, which was designed and planned by the emperor. Pedestrians walk on it, it doesn't block the road, and it's safe.

Some of the shops are closed, while others are still open. Even those who are closed to rest are posted with red couplets, lanterns are hung, and those that are open are even more colorful.

Mao Wenlong pretended to be reserved, not turning his head vigorously to look left and right, but taking the prosperous scene into his eyes.

Gou Zhenhuai was very surprised, he was born in Jinyiwei, but what he saw was the order in the midst of prosperity.

In the capital, there are many royal nobles and high-ranking officials, and there are also many wealthy businessmen, most of whom have backgrounds and backers. The number of ordinary people coming and going from the south to the north is even more innumerable, but there is no chaos here, or chaos.

Of course, Gou Zhenhuai didn't know that the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division was Lu Xiangsheng, who was fair and honest, and his majesty was extremely strict. What's more, he had the full support of the emperor.

Whether it is the royal family, or the nobles, or the common people, if they break the law, they will inevitably be punished, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities will never lenient. Even, the more noble the status, the more severe the punishment received.

In their different thoughts, Mao Wenlong and others went to the military department to report first. Although it was still on holiday, there were still people on duty in the military department, and they were notified to wait for Mao Wenlong and others.

After the report, Mao Wenlong and others came to the pavilion and were arranged to stay.

"The year is not over, if you work normally, you have to wait for a few days, right?" Gou Zhenhuai was not very sure, he wanted to visit relatives and friends.

Mao Wenlong thought for a while, and arched his hand and said: "Long live the diligence, Yu Liaodong is very concerned, and it is not easy to judge when to be called." ”

Gou Zhenhuai nodded and said, "It's okay, there is no curfew in the capital, but it is much more convenient." ”

The palace is to be closed at night, and there is no very urgent matter, and the courtiers will not be summoned to the palace at night.

Mao Wenlong understood what Gou Zhenhuai meant, and he was also a little moved, thinking about visiting this bustling capital.

"It's not early, let's go outside?" Gou Zhenhuai saw Mao Wenlong's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Although he has been away for a few years, some good places must still be there, and he can be half a guide." ”

Mao Wenlong was still groaning, but the few guards below showed eagerness and looked over.

Haha smiled, Mao Wenlong glanced at everyone and said, "Just as you wish, you can see the prosperity of this Beijing division." ”

After a pause, Mao Wenlong reminded solemnly: "Remember that this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and it is all for Ben Shuai to restrain a little." Whoever dares to cause trouble, military law is ruthless. ”

They are all rough soldiers, and Mao Wenlong also knows that there are many powerful lords and ministers in the capital, and any one he offends is troublesome.

Moreover, the emperor's mind is unpredictable, and it is difficult to say to whom the military power of Liaodong will be handed over.

Mao Wenlong and Gou Zhenhuai didn't know that they hadn't entered the capital yet, and the emperor already knew their specific itinerary and the approximate time of entering Beijing.

For the military command of Liaodong, the emperor also had a candidate, and it was basically determined that it was Mao Wenlong. Of course, entering the palace is also a test, but it is not a decisive factor.

People's minds will change, and people's temperament and temperament will change, which is determined by the environment.

But the emperor thought that a strict and reasonable system was the most secure, and that it was more reliable than judging human nature after one or two meetings.
