"Weizhong, what's going on with the treaty?"

The emperor pinched his waist and led Yan Song inside.

Although this matter is being talked about by the second child, Yan Song is a foreign affairs officer, and the details must be known.

"Back to the emperor, Prince Yu is very capable, and Weichen thinks it shouldn't be a problem. Now it depends on how to sign it. ”

"No matter how capable you are, after all, you don't have enough experience, you still have to check more."

"The emperor can rest assured, Weichen knows."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes narrowed with a smile, Yan Song has always done things to his heart, this kid is very good at doing things.

"Sit, sit." He stretched out his finger and pointed, and then started gossiping, "Jing Yang returned to China last year, and there was a lot of movement, and when I first saw the world, my brain was hot up and down. Fortunately, after a year, I am a lot more sober, but in the middle, according to what you see, what is the most important thing in Daming right now? Don't use Lichu's words to gag my mouth. ”

Yan Song smiled, "Where is the emperor, how dare Weichen." However, in the past year, the emperor has indeed worked a lot more than before, and Weichen has seen it in his eyes, and he also thinks that he can share more worries for the emperor. ”

"You've observed carefully, it's a lot of things, and it's a little chaotic, so you have to take care of it, it's okay, you say, don't worry."

"Yes, Weichen always remembers that the emperor said that no matter what you do, you must always have a clear goal to be conducive to practice, otherwise you will be confused and spin in place, which will be a waste of energy. And recently, Weichen is thinking, didn't the emperor order His Royal Highness to discuss the strategy of a great power? It's the beginning of spring, should the emperor find a time to really give this. In this way, no matter how messy, there is always a clear tone. ”

"Makes sense. Anything else? ”

"And ...... That is, Weichen thinks that the Ming Dynasty under the rule of His Majesty is completely different from the previous generation, and at that time he only had to take care of the country, but now the Ming Dynasty has more and more foreign contacts, so he has to grasp the overall situation of internal and external, and capture the thief and capture the king first.

The overall situation of the country is first in the military system and currency reform, and then in the people's livelihood and welfare, and under the people's livelihood and welfare, there are things such as taxation and immigration.

The overall situation of foreign countries can only be determined according to the strategy set by the Ming Dynasty, but there is always no escape from the words war and peace. ”

Zhu Houzhao groaned, and then couldn't help sighing, "It's a great thing if you say it so casually." Yes, you've been getting a lot of skills lately. ”

"Your Majesty's false praise, it's all your Majesty's training."

The emperor was not polite to him, and turned his head to greet, "You Zhi." ”

"The slave is here."

"Go to the attendant's room and explain it, and let them inform the two adult princes in Beijing, as well as the main nobles, Jiuqing, and all the teachers with official status in the Beijing Normal High Court, so that they can all get ready...... In a month's time.

A month later, in the Fengtian Temple, I called the Great Dynasty and asked them all to come. By the way, let Zai Yuan first draft the text of a great power strategy, and then go through one by one. Then let the governors of various places and the general soldiers of the border towns play a sparse role, and in accordance with the principle of voluntariness, write those who have ideas, and forget those who have no ideas. ”

"The slave has written it down, and she will go to deliver the decree."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, turned his head and said to Yan Song: "Weizhong, I am also thinking about it these days, there must be a lot of things in the twenty-first year of Zhengde. You don't want to hide in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Currency innovation and the conclusion of treaties are cumbersome and complicated matters, and now Prince Yu is doing it, but whether he is making preliminary preparations and really pushing it down, it still depends on you old rivers and lakes. Go into the cabinet and share these two things. ”

Yan Song suddenly heard the good news, and his heart stirred, "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" Weichen will live up to His Majesty's expectations! ”

In fact, there were originally people in the cabinet, but these two things need to go out of Beijing frequently this year, and even go abroad, Zhu Houzhao still has to keep Zhang, Gu, and Wang to ensure that other affairs are normal, and the original things can't be completely ignored for the sake of one or two innovative systems.

Not to mention that there is still a war to be fought this year.

At sunset the next day,

The emperor, accompanied by the cabinet, the Duke of Yue and the Duke of England, came to the camp of the Jingshi.

After more than four months of preparation, the army and food and grass for the expedition to Japan were almost exhausted.

This expedition and troop transfer coincided with the formation of a 10,000-strong garrison army, that is, sharp soldiers were drawn from the original Shangzhi Qinwei and Beijing Camp to form the five armies of the Beijing Garrison Military Region, and they were named respectively:

Wyverns, Eagles, Tigers, and Iron-Blooded Guardians and Fallen Dead.

Five large armies, each with 30,000 people, each with 3,000 guards equipped with Lumi's second-generation firearms.

As for the armor and medicine, they are all in open supply.

Anyway, it's just two words, spending money.

Zhu Houzhao never wanted his troops to fight a poor war, especially against Japan, and he wanted to smash it down with a hammer, so that he could not turn over for 500 years.

The commander of the Jingshi Garrison Military Region was held by the emperor himself, and no one pretended to be.

The five major armies were the Duke of England, the Duke of Yue, the Duke of Zheng and the emperor himself.

The pattern is that the Son of Heaven directly leads two armies, and the remaining three princes each lead one army.

However, at present, the British Duke is going to lead the army, so he alone leads the two armies of the Flying Dragon and the Tiger, which can be regarded as the commander of the army in wartime

Of course, the factor of crossing the sea and taking a boat was also taken into account, and all the soldiers who went out were tested not to get seasick.

As for the 10,000-person commander of the Weisho Army, as well as the thousand-household, hundred-household, and general banner below him, two conditions must be met first.

First, there is an educational background in the Army Academy and the Naval Academy.

Second, he has participated in the battles of Turpan and Yarkand.

Not to mention how much credit you have made, but at least you have been rewarded.

Usually sneaky and slippery, it wilts at a glance, and if you don't have that momentum, you can't get on any of it.

This is a kind of good money to drive out bad money, in fact, it naturally leads to some soldiers rushing to lead the combat mission.

Because there are too many people around them or heard of who have turned over to become officers.

In fact, in addition to the material support of soldiers, generals, weapons and other materials, a more important point is the spirit, or the soul of the army.

To this end, the political commissar system, which had been established to imitate later generations, was also formally implemented, and from the thousands of households upwards, each army was equipped with specially selected civilian officials, and continuous political and ideological education was carried out in the army.

Of course, the previous disciplinary regulations and discipline regulations have also been applied.

It is precisely because of this intention that this is the tiger army that Zhu Houzhao sees today.

And in addition to the 60,000 people sent by the Ming Dynasty,

The Li Dynasty had to send 20,000 soldiers and 50,000 people to undertake some tasks other than battles, which were about to transport supplies and so on.

Plus the 20,000 troops already stationed in Japan.

In total, 100,000 real soldiers will go to Japan.

80,000 in the Ming Dynasty and 20,000 in North Korea.

According to the general 'claim' law, you can call out 300,000 soldiers and horses.

At this time, Japan was in what they called the Warring States Period, and a country the size of a province had hundreds of small chassis, and all the daimyo lined up to cut off their heads for a while.

There are not many armies of size and formation.

Zhu Houzhao can be said to be fighting a war to destroy the country this time.

But he felt the need.

From a practical point of view, since the Zhengde Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has continuously strengthened exchanges with neighboring countries, and no one dares to attack the Ming Dynasty without opening their eyes.

This is truly audacious.

The Empire cannot have a 'blood bar', it must be invincible.

Judging from the memories of his previous life, this nation has to clean up, he doesn't remember kindness, but he remembers beating, and he can manage it for hundreds of years.

Moreover, the imperial court had already made the decision to develop overseas land, which required a lot of cheap labor.

Japan still has a population of more than 10 million.

As for the moral guilt of enslaving them, Zhu Houzhao didn't have it at all, he only hated that now Daming couldn't get nuclear weapons.

Not only that, but in fact, sometimes he thinks in private that perhaps it is precisely because this nation does not have a painful historical memory that he cannot understand the suffering of other peoples.

In that sense, isn't he doing good?

Anyway, no matter.

After the reconstruction, the camp is now located in the southwest of Beijing, surrounded by iron mesh, and the residences, canteens, training grounds, warehouses, and so on inside have been re-planned.

After the implementation of the new drill method, a phalanx that Zhu Houzhao was very familiar with in his memory appeared.

This is not the kind of phalanx for military parades, it is a large phalanx where all the soldiers are gathered and ready for battle, 60,000 troops, divided into 30 phalanxes, each with 2,000 people.

From the high platform, it looks like pieces of tofu.

Although the degree of neatness of the formation is definitely not as good as that of later generations, in this era, it is already imposing to be able to make it like this.

On both sides of the high platform, horns taller than people were erected, and as the Son of Heaven approached, a majestic sound of 'toot, doot' sounded.

"Minister Zhou Shangwen (Zhang Shu) See Your Majesty!!"

Zhu Houzhao got down from the sedan chair, and first pinched his waist and glanced at these super phalanxes that stretched far away.

In front of each phalanx, there was a general in heavy armor, kneeling in accordance with his gaze and leading everyone to chant, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

……

This momentum provoked Zhu Houzhao's heart to stir, he did not follow the previously set process to climb the high platform, but walked around the steps and walked towards those soldiers.

Up close, he saw the soldiers' faces and expressions, yellowed or dark skin, black and translucent hair, and slashed faces like terracotta warriors.

"Yue Guogong, British Gong, you have done a good job!"

Just by looking at his eyes, Zhu Houzhao could see the spirit of these soldiers.

Zhou Shangwen followed up and said: "All this depends on Your Majesty's careful design, and the ministers are just doing what Your Majesty says." ”

"No, no," Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, he was excited, and as he spoke, he had walked to the nearest phalanx, and there was a general standing alone at the front, his man was tall and burly, his face was thin and powerful, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.

Zhu Houzhao slapped his hand on his chest twice, "It's very strong!" What is your name? ”

The general replied in a loud voice, "Back to Your Majesty, the last general will be the commander of the first guard and the second thousandth household of the Flying Dragon Army, Zhan Yunhong!" ”

"Where have you been on the battlefield?"

"Back to Your Majesty, when the Yarkand Khanate is annihilated, the last general will be a scout in the army!"

"How many enemies have you killed?"

"The last general is ashamed, and so far he has only killed more than 200 people with his own hands."

"Not a lot."

Then Zhu Houzhao walked towards the second phalanx, asking not exactly the same questions, but they were similar.

This is to clearly tell everyone that what the emperor wants is a true warrior who has been on the battlefield and has been stained with blood!
