Let them kick for three days first, and remove the generals in the previous guards, the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, if the generals are waste, it is useless to train the sergeants well. Zhu Gaoxian instructed, "You should observe more and find out capable people from the sergeants to fill the vacancies left by the dismissal of generals." Tell these sergeants that as long as they behave well, they will be promoted quickly! ”

Chi Rong nodded: "Don't worry, this matter is on me." ”

……

In the empty and cold imperial study, the old man put down the last book and rubbed his sore eyebrows.

After becoming the emperor, Zhu Di realized that he didn't really like this profession very much. Every day, I sit in the imperial study and fight wits and courage with the book, and it is a day to sit and be boring.

When he was the king of Yan, Zhu Di felt that the emperor's throne was full of temptation, but when he really did it, he found that it was not enough, it was better to be a prince and relax. But he still desperately wanted to be a good emperor, and spent countless hours for this profession that he didn't like very much.

It's not that he can't get along with himself, Zhu Di just wants to prove, prove to himself, and prove to Zhu Yuanzhang, who has long been asleep, that he is stronger than Jianwen, and in his hands Zhu Di, the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty has come!

"Little orange."

Zhu Di shouted, and Tang Cheng, the great eunuch holding the dust, walked over and saluted respectfully: "Long live the lord, what do you command?" ”

"I heard that King Qi is training his troops?" Zhu Di asked casually.

The prince is training troops, I am afraid that the emperor will be suspicious and will commit it again, but if this prince is the king of Qi, there seems to be no problem.

King Qi succeeded the British Duke and became the representative of the new generation of the military, and if his army could not be put on the table, it would mean that there was a problem.

Everything is in equilibrium, and King Qi can directly control part of the army, provided that it is within Zhu Di's control. The price is that King Qi can no longer be supported by the ministers like the crown prince, which is a matter of principle.

If a prince is both a representative of civil and military ministers, then what is an emperor?

Eunuch representatives?

Tang Cheng said: "Your Majesty, King Qi is training the palace guards in Songlu Mountain. ”

"How many soldiers are there in Songlu Mountain?" Zhu Di frowned slightly.

"Less than a thousand." Tang Cheng replied.

Hearing this, Zhu Di bowed slightly.

Songlu Mountain is in the land of Gyeonggi, and the emperor can allow King Qi to have an army of 100,000 in the southwest, but he must not tolerate King Qi having too many troops in Gyeonggi, which will directly threaten the emperor's rule.

The palace guards of less than 1,000 people are nothing. The three battalions outside the capital have hundreds of thousands of troops, and there are five city soldiers and horses and twelve guards in the city. King Qi, the palace guard of less than 1,000 people, is like a small dish in front of the huge army in the capital, and there are too few teeth to stuff.

Zhu Di smiled: "This kid is a little interesting." The people of the King of Han have begun to attack in an all-out way, the Imperial Court is in turmoil, and the prince is busy on his side, but he is so leisurely and has time to train his troops, this is really not taking the King of Han and Zheng Zhichang as ......"

The Emperor's voice stopped abruptly.

Tang Cheng was a little puzzled, but found that Zhu Di touched his chin, as if he suddenly thought of something.

"Haha, it's getting more and more interesting!"

Zhu Di suddenly laughed, "King Qi, the crown prince, these two people have a ghost idea, I have only reacted now, presumably, King Han is going to be dumbfounded this time, this is to make a big move." ”

Tang Cheng didn't know why, he just felt that the emperor had convulsions again.

King Qi is training in Songlu Mountain, what big moves can he make?

……

"Damn it, run fast for Lao Tzu!"

"The slowest 100 households, each person will be fined five military sticks!"

Chi Rong chased after him with a stick, and the sergeants ran desperately, and if they ran slowly, they were directly a stick. If it was really only Chi Rong alone, he would have brought nearly a thousand people alone.

But Prince Qi was too ruthless, and picked fifty people as "pickets", brought a red armband, and also carried a wooden stick to fight people with Chi Rong.

"Brother, as for being so ruthless, I am also from Yangzhou, and we are still fellow villagers in the same house!" A sergeant shouted angrily to the picket who was "chasing" behind him.

The picket chased desperately and responded: "Fellow, don't blame me for being black, the prince said, the best performance in the picket is the chief picket, if you really treat me as a fellow, you will help my brother and me to be promoted!" ”

"I'll be promoted to your mother's promotion, I'll be promoted to an official with a stick, why do you think it's so beautiful!" The sergeant roared.

Picket: "Good boy, don't run, I'll catch you today!" ”

Zhu Gaoxian pinched the time to calculate, it has been more than half a month since he came to Songlu Mountain to train troops.

In half a month, he clearly felt that the palace guards, which were less than 1,000 people, had swept away the normal state of erosion, and there was already a prototype of qualified sergeants.

Chi Rong exclaimed: "It's only been half a month, but this army is like a different shell, reborn from a rabble into a gradually forming army, God!" ”

"It's still far from it." Zhu Gaoxian said with a smile, "What this king wants is not a barely qualified army, what I want is to build them into a top army and build them into a silent army." ”

"The Army of Silence?" Chi Rong was a little puzzled, "What is the Army of Silence?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian said slowly: "A silent army is when the king stands on the platform of the general to give a speech, although the soldiers below have different faces, different nationalities, different places, and different habits, they have the same belief, huddle in the same place, listen to the same voice, look in the same direction, they look up to me, silent. And when I ask them to charge, they can not hesitate to rush to the enemy several times or even dozens of times, and in the end, even if there is only one soldier left, they will continue to fight bloodily. ”

The morale of the army is not a static thing, and when the army suffers too many casualties, the morale will also disperse, the sergeants will begin to flee, and the combat effectiveness will naturally collapse.

Generally speaking, a normal army will be defeated if it reaches three percent casualties, and an army that can achieve fifty percent casualties without a rout can already be called an iron army that has always been strictly disciplined.

When the casualties of a large army reach more than 70 percent, it is difficult for this unit to have effective combat effectiveness, no matter how tenacious it is. Because they are not numerous enough, it is difficult for them to gather together to form an effective impact on the battlefield.

Chi Rong laughed when he heard this: "Lord Wang, you can afford these people too much. I'll admit that these people have made great progress, but how do they go up and down into what you call the army of silence? Fighting to the last man, even the 3,000 battalions I brought before can't reach the level you said! ”

While the two were joking, the Han Wangfu was about to ascend to heaven.

"Come, Mr. Su, Mr. Zheng, Mr. Wang Jing and Mr. Wang Jing have a cup!"

King Han was full of red light, and drank it all in one cup.

Su Qing and Zheng Zhichang, the staff of the palace, glanced at each other and raised their glasses in return.

"Mr. Zheng has made a great contribution this time, this is our chief hero!" Su Qing said with a smile.

Zheng Zhichang waved his hand: "Where is it, in the body of the next micro-end, it all depends on the prince and Mr. Su to lift, and this is what we have today." ”

King Han patted Zheng Zhichang on the shoulder and laughed: "Now it seems that the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks are not as good as my Mr. Zheng!" ”

Zhu Gaoxian was training troops in Songlu Mountain, and the Han Wang Party was not idle.

They frantically confronted the princelings, and every morning, the cabinet scholars would look at hundreds of impeachment excerpts on their desks and ponder. Among them, there are Han Wang Party impeachment princelings, and there are also princelings impeachment Han Wang Party.

In half a month, there were hundreds of imprisoned officials in the capital!

After paying a heavy price, the Han king finally achieved a good result - the princelings suffered heavy losses, and all the relatives were shut down.

Liu Guan, the princeling of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, resigned, and now there is no one in the Metropolitan Procuratorate who is a princeling!

Just as the three of them were drinking and having fun, someone came to the palace.

The eunuch said loudly: "Spread the emperor's edict, Zheng Zhichang, the right capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, slacken his duties, use power for personal gain, and serve as a servant of the Criminal Department, Qin this!" ”

In the Han Palace, it was instantly quiet.

"Wait, is there something wrong?" King Han was a little confused.

The eunuch bowed his head and said: "Lord Han, this is the will of the Lord of Long Live Lord, how dare the slave and maid deceive." ”

King Han felt that his strength was exhausted, and he collapsed in his chair, and his brain was not enough: "What is this doing, what is the emperor doing?" ”

The henchmen of the Han King finally suppressed the prince at all costs, but when they were celebrating, God made a big joke - "Zheng Zhichang was demoted"

If it is degraded to other departments, it will be counted, the Criminal Department, it took the prince more than ten years to make an iron bucket!

From Zheng Ci, to later Lu Zhen, to Liu Guan, to today's Wuzhong, there are four consecutive secretaries of the Criminal Department, all of whom are princelings!

Zheng Zhichang went from the princelings to the Han Dynasty, and now he is being named a servant of the Criminal Department, and he must not let the Criminal Department tear it up?

King Han pushed Zheng Zhichang to the cusp, hoping that Zheng Zhichang could help him defeat the princelings, and now that the princelings have not fallen, Zheng Zhichang has fallen first.

"Why, this king doesn't understand why the emperor suddenly changed the direction of the wind and intervened in this matter." King Han racked his brains to figure out how he lost.

Su Qing said faintly: "Before, we only cared about fighting with the prince, and when we met a princeling fighting one, we forgot a very important thing. ”

"What's the matter?" King Han and Zheng Zhichang stared at Su Qing deadly.

Su Qing took a deep breath: "Balanced!" ”

When the King of Han heard this, his face was like ashes.

He finally understood why he had lost.

It is no wonder that King Qi was indifferent in the face of the attack of the Han Dynasty, and it is no wonder that the princelings, who had been invulnerable before, suddenly became full of flaws.

They didn't need to do anything, they just looked at each other coldly and watched King Han arrogant.

King Qi, the crown prince, and the king of Han have reached a perfect triangular balance, whoever breaks the balance first, loses first.

And King Han is the one who breaks the balance.

So he lost.
