Following.

Early Dynasty, Fengtian Temple.

Since the dark market doesn't work, Zhu Yunxi has no choice but to bring this problem to the table.

It's just that when this came, Zhu Yunxi found that he already had a lot of loyal ministers who supported him at this time.

But there is no traitor who always stands on his side and helps him deliver words at critical moments.

Just like at this moment, Zhu Yunxi wants to implement the decree of dismantling the old army.

But how to bring this matter to the table is another problem, and leave it to your own henchmen? But looking at his subordinates, there are many loyal ministers.

There were also many courtiers who supported him wholeheartedly.

But the only thing missing is that there is such a person who can deliver a message, which is convenient for Zhu Yunxi to do things, or to do something inconvenient for him.

Naturally, it is impossible for someone like Yang Shiqi to do such a thing.

And some of the nobles who support themselves, such as Lan Yu, are exactly the ones they want to rectify today.

So Zhu Yunxi suddenly found that there seemed to be one less kind of person in his court, a traitor!

For the emperor, traitors are extremely necessary.

Because it is these traitors who can act as the emperor's white gloves and do some inconvenient things, and after this white glove is dyed black, just throw it away and replace it with another one.

As long as the traitors don't take advantage of the opportunity to seize power.

The traitor is an extremely useful thing for the emperor.

However, Zhu Yunxi's previous style of acting lacked the soil for the existence of traitors, and there was almost no room for traitors to develop.

As a result, today, Zhu Yunxi even wants to let the ministers and officials below give things a start.

But I couldn't find anyone.

There is no such traitor who knows what Zhu Yunxi means in advance, and takes the lead in provoking this matter and transferring the matter between the traitor and another minister.

And Zhu Yunxi is just a third party who makes 'fair' rulings.

That seems to make the most sense.

So Zhu Yunxi only understood at this time why so many emperors would indulge in the use of traitorous ministers, because often many times, emperors also have needs.

The opposite of the needs of the courtiers.

At this time, the role of traitors comes into play.

Originally, it was the emperor's demand, but after such a traitor, it naturally became the traitor's demand, and the emperor only lost his judgment because he was 'confused by the traitor for a while'.

I just mistakenly believed what the traitor said.

It does not damage the image of the emperor, and it also avoids the problem of the emperor personally arguing with the ministers.

"It seems that I still have a lot to learn on this road." Zhu Yunxi silently reflected.

My style of acting has always been the kind that can't hide sand in my eyes.

Naturally, there is no soil for the birth of traitors, or even if there are traitors, they dare not show it.

Because traitors often cater to their wishes, and Zhu Yunxi likes to work hard, then traitors are likely to disguise themselves as hard-working.

Zhu Yunxi is even more difficult to tell.

Usually, you still have to pretend to be confused, so that this game can go on better.

That's what makes Game of Thrones so fascinating.

There's too much stuff in there.

Even every action has its deep meaning, laziness is not necessarily really lazy, and shrewdness is not necessarily really shrewd.

Emperor Jiajing and Emperor Chongzhen are two excellent examples.

But now, Zhu Yunxi has to bring this matter to the table by himself.

"Recently, the new army has been forming a good situation, and it has formed a considerable combat strength, and has even surpassed the old army."

"So Lone plans to cut off some of the old army."

"The amount will be about 200,000 yuan, and these old armies will be transformed into a centralized and military-managed labor force, and these old armies will be transferred to jobs with higher treatment."

"What do you think?"

This is the disadvantage of not having a traitor, these words should have been spoken by a traitor.

Then everyone pointed the finger at this traitor.

You can take Zhu Yunxi out of this matter, and what he said is more authoritative and convincing, and although everyone knows that you think so, the range of opposition will be much smaller.

Because officials tend to avoid provoking powerful enemies.

And these traitors are often like mad dogs, biting whoever they catch.

Most ministers naturally can't afford to provoke them.

And these traitors are not because they have no brains to see who bites whom, but to work harder to please the emperor and form the impression of 'their own people' in the emperor's heart.

But even if there is no traitor to help Zhu Yunxi throw out this topic.

Zhu Yunxi's words also aroused heated discussions among the courtiers.

Cutting out the old army is not a trivial matter! After all, the Ming army is actually not very large, not to mention that there is a big enemy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty waiting around, is there a problem with disarmament at this time?

There are some worries.

And the generals were even more opposed, shaking their heads one after another, silent, and only stood up against Zhu Yunxi in the open.

It can be said that if it weren't for Zhu Yunxi, he would be the grandson.

If you were any other vassal king, you wouldn't know what to be sprayed into!

After all, most of these generals in the court are still from the war years, and there is a deep hatred between them and the Northern Yuan.

I can't wait to send troops to the Northern Expedition now.

And if you want to go on the Northern Expedition, you need enough manpower! A few have to be an army of millions to be able to fight the main force of the Northern Yuan!

But now Zhu Yunxi wants to disarm, and the people of the honorable generals do not support it, and the people of the Military Affairs Department do not support it!

Or even fierce opposition!

Among them, Lan Yu and others even stood up, and the group of noble generals led by them expressed their disagreement with the disarmament.

And it is these people who control the military power of the Ming Dynasty.

If Zhu Yunxi wants to move their power, he naturally has to pass them first!

Even after the establishment of the Military Affairs Department, the real power was greatly weakened.

But the influence in the army is still unparalleled.

This is far from being influenced by a name.

After all, they are the founding generals, and the countless generals in the army are all soldiers they have led.

"Your Highness, the million-strong army of the Ming Dynasty has its use."

"Gongwei Frontier, this is the only time that millions of guards have the grand occasion of the Ming Dynasty today, and the army must not be cut at will!"

"This move is extremely prone to turmoil!"

Fu Youde stood up and persuaded.

And how did Zhu Yunxi not know this? Therefore, he has already arranged the whereabouts of this group of eliminated troops, which is to practice the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge.

The whole is still managed by the military system of the guard, giving adequate treatment and avoiding turmoil.

Rather than just cutting them out.

Then they sit back and see that they have nowhere to go, and finally there is turmoil.

Zhu Yunxi said his thoughts, but in exchange for it, he was still blocked again and again, and the ways of dissuasion can be said to be full of tricks.

There are even the grounds that the soldiers of the guard post are accustomed to farming.

However, the most important argument is that the Ming Dynasty now needs so many troops to defend the Ming regime.

However, after two years of development, the number of the new army has gradually become larger.

In this way, the old army of 200,000 can be completely maintained by the original Ming army, and even the number is not too much.

Zhu Yunxi knew that this was because they were afraid that Zhu Yunxi would eliminate this group of troops.

Continue to lay off the next batch of troops!

When the time comes, the power in their hands will only shrink further!
