Zhu Qiyu thought about it, isn't this going back to the reform of the official system.

Officials want to be officials, and craftsmen also want to be officials, and once the road to promotion is opened for officials and craftsmen, they will gain a large number of supporters.

The problem is that such a reform will inevitably affect the interests of the existing civil service.

And there is also experience to learn from this matter, that is, the official system of the Chenghua Dynasty: no examination, no selection, direct appointment by the emperor, and whoever is allowed to be an official will be an official.

The advantage is that the emperor can promote a group of cronies exceptionally, and there are many disadvantages.

At its peak, there were more than 4,000 officials in the Chenghua Dynasty, including craftsmen, doctors, warlocks, monks, Taoists, calligraphers, painters, eunuchs, relatives, and so on.

This system of serving officials has been greatly resisted by civil officials.

Zhu Qiyu chose to be perfunctory first: "After the new firearms show their might on the battlefield, I will reward the craftsmen and let them wait patiently for a while." ”

Finally finished a day's work, Zhu Qiyu returned home, there should be 10,000 words here.

……

On February 17, the spring rain continued without stopping.

After several days of hard work, Zhu Qiyu and the concubines were tired enough. So the rain fell in time, Zhu Qiyu covered a quilt and refused to stay.

Qianxue was the most self-disciplined, and braved the rain to bring back the notebook and the military newspaper.

Zhu Qiyu was dumbfounded when he looked at the military report: "The Eastern Chagatai Khanate, the Kazakh Khanate, and the Timurid Empire joined forces to invade Hami; The Tusi rebellion in Yunnan and Guizhou intensified;

The Mongol Taishi Mao Lihao led 100,000 cavalry to attack Hami from the east; He led an army of 50,000 to invade Liaodong.

The combined forces of the Timurid Empire and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate invaded Usizang.

The Jurchen tribes of Liaodong showed signs of collusion with Agabarzi.

Xu Youzhen led the main forces of the Annan and Guangdong naval divisions to launch an attack on the old port.

The governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Nianfu, sent Fujian sailors to explore Luzon.

How did this happen, how did all of a sudden, there was a beacon fire everywhere. ”

Qianxue said with a smile: "I know why the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty have to live in two capitals and thirteen provinces." The Wanli Empire is not easy to rule, and its territory is expanding too quickly, which is a backlash. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded, and shook his head again: "It is indeed expanding too fast, which has scared the Mongolian khanates."

Genghis Khan's descendants are all united. In the face of a great threat, they put aside their prejudices for the time being and stopped infighting.

I can see now that it was all a small fight, and the decisive battle with the Mongols was the real test.

If you are not careful, you will follow in the footsteps of Zhu Qizhen, advance in the south, and be defeated in the north. ”

This time, Zhu Qiyu really scratched his head: "If Beiyuan plays a desperate game, he can really get together 200,000 cavalry." The Timurid Empire, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and the Kazakh Khanate supported more than 100,000 cavalry.

There are more than 300,000 cavalry in total, and they falsely claim to be 500,000, so they don't want to die.

The timing was really good, I just launched the extermination of the Buddha, and if I withdraw my troops from Japan at this time, there will inevitably be endless rebellions. Therefore, more than 100,000 troops can only be stationed in Japan for a long time, and they cannot be withdrawn.

Our Nanjing camp has not yet been built, and even if tens of thousands of people are reorganized, we must give priority to quelling the rebellion in Yunnan and Guizhou.

I am still engaged in reform in Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and Fujian, which is another source of turmoil.

It's bad, after the crown prince, I was indeed a little floating, how did I suddenly become like this. ”

Qianxue added: "Also, you are in the same situation as the officials and soldiers in Shanxi, and almost all of those guards have been moved overseas by you, and the new defenders have not yet been replenished.

Shandong has suffered natural disasters in the past two years, and it will not be able to recover for a while. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu wilted even more, leaned against the window, and looked at the Yuquan Lake outside in a daze.

Qianxue asked again: "Husband, Zhou Fan has sent another letter urging you, asking you to increase your troops in Shenyang and Liaoyang." ”

Zhu Qiyu counted with his fingers: "There are 30,000 people in the Shenshu camp, of which 20,000 are young soldiers, send those 10,000 soldiers to Shenyang and Liaoyang."

Let the Shandong Navy Division transport 20,000 reserve Japanese soldiers from Shandong, and then pick up 10,000 Shenshu battalions from Tianjin, transport them to Gaizhou to land, and then let them go north to Shenyang and Liaoyang.

In addition, Gyeonggi also has more than 20,000 Yingzhou Guard, more than 20,000 Tiance Guard, 30,000 Shenji Battalion, and more than 20,000 Xiaoqi Battalion. plus Duoyan Sanwei, a total of more than 30,000 cavalry.

About 150,000 pro-soldiers, which is my entire family around Gyeonggi.

Shaanxi and Gansu can still gather 100,000 elite border troops.

Together, with the strength of the Mongol coalition army, this is a truly fair battle.

It's the first time I've fought a battle that I'm not rich, and this time I'll have to be careful. ”

Lin Xiangyu asked worriedly, "Is it so serious?" ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "The winner takes all, and the winner takes everything." If the Mongols win this time, they can rise again, and Agabarzi will become one of the greatest Mongol Great Khans.

If we win, Mongolia will be in ruins, and for at least a few decades, we will have to do whatever we want.

This is also the biggest challenge I have encountered, if I get through it, I can really control this 10,000-mile empire; If I can't get through it, my career will usher in a big regression. ”

"Do you want to summon An Guogong back?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded again and again: "If you want it, I originally said that after An Guogong finished fighting Japan, he would retire and retire to live in his old age." I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I had to let him fight again.

He has been guarding in Shaanxi for many years, so let him be in charge of the towns of Shaanxi this time.

Then recall Cao Guogong and let him continue to defend Gansu.

Also, after Xu Youzhen conquered the old port, he handed over the military to Wang Lai and returned to Beijing immediately.

Urge Tao Jin again, and let him lead the 10,000 Shenji Battalion and 10,000 Xiao Cavalry Battalion to Kaiping as soon as possible.

In addition, Zhang Ying was ordered to lead the Baoding central guard, left guard, and right guard to garrison Xuanfu.

At this point, let's fight fiercely. ”

After pondering for a while, Zhu Qiyu added: "Recruit 20,000 troops from North Korea and Goryeo provinces, give them the best armor and firearms, and let them contain the Jurchen tribes."

Let's deploy it like this, and the war will break out in full force in about two months. The Mongols could only fight for half a year, and at the end of the year, they had to retreat to spend the winter.

Half a year, a crucial battle.

In addition, don't cling to the face of the Celestial Empire anymore, I will directly put down my shelves and take the initiative to send envoys to the Ottoman Empire and the Aries Dynasty to discuss the alliance with them.

Let them help me backstab the Timurid Empire and the Golden Horde, respectively. ”

After making so many arrangements in one go, Zhu Qiyu leaned on the backrest and sighed: "It's too much brain-draining every day, if only there was milk to eat." ”

When Qianxue heard this, she patted Zhu Qiyu's head: "They were all stunned by these military reports, and as soon as the husband said this, the concubine remembered that she heard in Changle Palace in the morning that Miaoyue Niangniang seemed to be happy."

When a new batch of princes and princesses are born, the husband will have milk to eat. ”
