After the artillery drill, a group of soldiers climbed over obstacles, engineers built barbed wire, built pontoon bridges, and musketeers fired different exercises.
Compared to the Ming soldiers in other places, the soldiers here are more 'professional', disciplined, well-trained, and every step is meticulous and there is no mistake or omission.
A group of general soldiers looked at it directly, and there were a lot of things here that were very fresh.
Zhu Xu pressed his hands on the stone railing, his eyes were blazing, and the bottom was the most exciting.
It didn't take long for the infantry, artillery and infantry to fight together, infantry, artillery, and cavalry to work together, and then with the telescope, the big basket in the air, condescendingly, everything was in full view, and the rhythm of the war changed, surprisingly fast.
Limited by the size of the base, there were only 1,000 soldiers participating in the exercise, but it still made a group of generals secretly amazed.
Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Sichang stood together, and Lu Xiangsheng said with a shocked expression: "Lord Yang, if the rogues also make trouble like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to deal with it, right?"
” Yang Sichang had just taken up his post in the Military Intelligence Department, and he had not yet fully adapted to the new changes, so he shook his head when he heard the words: "This is just a trend of war changes, and in the future, our Ming army will have to fight at such a high intensity in order to be invincible."
The rogues are just a bunch of rioters, and they can't do this......"
Lu Xiangsheng pondered silently, then nodded, and said, "What Lord Yang said is true, but I have to guard against it, after the lower officials go back, they have to train more strictly." ” Yang Sichang didn't speak, turned his head to look at the highest watchtower in the middle, perhaps, this is the emperor's intention, right?
The exercise lasted more than two hours, and until the end of the exercise, everyone was still unsatisfied.
Zhu Xu led a group of people down, talking while walking, and then ate in the cafeteria of the base, chatting briefly, and then arranged for each to rest.
The generals were very shaken, and gathered together in twos and threes, and talked in low voices.
They can all feel that in the future war, these artillery pieces will occupy a very important place!
In the main lounge, Xiong Wencan sat next to Zhu Xu, with a respectful expression and small eyes flickering slightly.
He is different from Xiong Tingbi's tall and mighty, relatively shorter and fatter, with the bookish spirit of a scholar, and there is some shrewdness in his eyes, as if he is calculating something all the time.
Zhu Xu took a sip of tea, took a breath, looked at Xiong Wencan, and said with a smile: "Tell me about the navy." ” Xiong Wencan knew that this was the purpose of the emperor calling him, pursed his lips, and said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, the navy has almost been integrated at present, and the regular establishment of 50,000 people is retained.
Three large warships, 16 medium-sized warships, hundreds of small ones, equipped with 150 guns.
The minister has carried out many landing exercises, naval battles, defending ports, and even testing the oceans, and has begun to take on combat power......"
Zhu Xu listened quietly and did not interject.
At present, the naval division of the Ming Dynasty can only be said to be in the transition from the naval division to the navy.
Whether it is a state water division, it is essentially an inland water division, not a navy.
In the coastal sea, it may have combat power, but if you go to sea, you are afraid that you will not be able to withstand the wind and waves.
Nearly two hundred years have passed since Zheng He went to the West.
"More than a month ago, Chen personally observed the naval battle between the red-haired people and the Francophone people, and the combat power was far weaker than ours......
Navy, the emperor must not worry......"
Xiong Wencan's words continued.
Zhu Xu's expression moved slightly, and he said, "The red-haired man and the Franc machine man are at war?"
” Zhu Xu vaguely remembered that there was a time when the coachman at sea was invincible at sea.
If the charge.
Lan people and west.
The Banya people went to war, but they were afraid that the sea control in the Far East would fall to the Netherlands.
In the hands of the Lan people.
There is no West.
Banya people are restrained, Dutch.
The Lan people will soon be eyeing the fat of Da Ming.
Xiong Wencan said, "Yes, but the military intelligence department, Jinyi Wei have sent people to spy on them, and spies have been arranged everywhere, although they have had several confrontations at sea, but there is no change on land, and there is a tacit understanding of mutual non-aggression......"
Zhu Xu's jaw is not moving, but he is afraid of each other and is not sure yet, but this time will not be too long.
"What else?"
Zhu Xu looked at Xiong Wencan and said.
Xiong Wencan has been in charge of the Southern Sailor for several years, and Zhu Xu has not asked in person except for the script.
Xiong Wencan knew what this conversation with the emperor meant to him and the navy, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the current priority of the navy is to be familiar with naval warfare, find out the details of the Francophone and the red-haired people, and the ministers have two strategies: first, and the strong to help the weak, and second, to confuse their hearts with sea trade, to repair the plank road in the open, and to secretly Chen Cang." ” Zhu Xu's expression did not move, Xiong Wencan's two strategies were very simple, one was to befriend the strong on the surface, and secretly support the weak.
The second is to take the sea trade as the cutting point, make money together on the surface, but actually develop secretly, and when it is strong enough, give a fatal blow!
These are the methods that Xiong Wencan, or the Ming official eunuch class is inherent in and accustomed to, but in front of Zhu Xu, there are actually only two ways.
One is the Union West.

Banya, dry out the load.
Lan people, if you succeed, West.
Banya's strength is weak and unable to rule the Far East, as long as Zhu Xu is patient, he can encroach step by step and completely drive away the West.
It's only a matter of time before the Banya people fail, and the disadvantage is that if they fail, it will be a fatal blow to the Ming navy, and it will also be a matter of time.
The Lan people tore their faces, and Daming will face a situation of being blocked by the sea.
The second is with the lotus.
Lan people cooperate and help Dutch.
The Lan people stabilized the Far East, took the opportunity to grow, and at the same time found out the Dutch.
The disadvantage of the Lan people's bottom is that this is a tiger skin, and if you are not careful, you may be beaten with chickens and eggs, and make wedding clothes for others!
No matter which one has pros and cons, and if the Ming wants to develop the navy, it can't be avoided at all.
The Lan people, at least for now.
Zhu Xu pondered for a long time, looked at Xiong Wencan and said, "What do you think of the red-haired man and the Francophone man?"
” Xiong Wencan said: "Your Majesty, judging from the intelligence gathered from everywhere, the little Buddha Lang machine has already weakened, and it is not a problem to follow the big Buddha Lang machine to loot everywhere.
The big Buddha machine, we generally call it the Buddha Lang machine, seems to be growing in power, but in fact it is constantly weak, the battleship is damaged and old, and the soldiers are enjoying themselves, and there is no fighting spirit at all.
The red-haired people are different, they are enterprising, competitive, ambitious, and on the sea, almost all of them are their ships, they have legitimate business, and they also want to plunder, and they value gold and silver treasures more than life......"
This is not surprising to Zhu Xu, the first voyage was basically a passion for wealth.
The Lan people are no exception.
Xiong Wencan's face suddenly moved slightly, and said: "The minister also made a discovery, that is, whether it is the red-haired man or the Francois man, their naval battles do not have any tactics, they often stop the ship, and then bombard each other with cannons, and in the end one side surrenders, and very few fish die and the net is broken, and the battle to the end is ......."
"You're saying that their tactics are very rigid, and they just shoot at each other like this?"
Zhu Xu looked slightly stunned, and said with inexplicable joy in his tone.
Xiong Wencan seemed to be encouraged, and said, "Yes, the minister is sure!"
Jin Yiwei bribed one of the red-haired deputy captains, and he also gave several red-haired people the habitual tactics of war, all similar to this......"
This is an unexpected gain, Zhu Xu looked at Xiong Wencan, and said: "After you go back, you must set up a naval battle room, specializing in meticulous deduction of naval battle tactics, and I can't let others run rampant around my Ming Dynasty......
Xiong Wencan also knew that the Ming Dynasty suffered deeply for the sea calamities, there were Japanese robbers in the past, and now there are red-haired people, he stood up and bowed down and said: "The minister obeys the order!"
” Zhu Xu waved his hand and asked carefully.
Xiong Wencan has no details, as long as Zhu Xu asked, he said it 1510, worried that the emperor would not understand, and he said it in great detail.
After a conversation with Xiong Wencan, Zhu Xu had a more intuitive impression of things at sea, and he also had a way in his heart.
Another day, Zhu Xu feasted the ministers in the Qianqing Palace, drank heartily, and there were no taboos.
Zhu Xu also rarely opened Chrysostom, starting from Liaodong at the beginning of his accession to the throne, until he calmed down Shen.
Yang, basically all the facts, flat and straightforward, but Rao is so, a group of generals still deeply feel the emperor's wisdom and wisdom, and their vision is far-sighted.
On the third day, the officials above the second grade in the capital were quite nervous.
Originally, it was only a meeting of military generals, but it was expanded, and the cabinet, the six shangshu, the squire, the superintendent, and the Zongren Mansion all participated.
In the palace, Zhu Youzhen looked at Chen Xinjia, frowned all the time, and said with an extremely unhappy expression: "Do you know?
There are only two days left, and the ministers of the government and the opposition, and the noble clan relatives have all impeached you, what do you want to do?
” Chen Xinjia said that he had suffered from it, he had arrested almost all the gentlemen in the capital in the past two days, and it was obvious that the capital had become refreshing and clean, and the consequence was that he had offended half of the dignitaries and nobles in the capital.
Zhu Youzhen didn't care about him, and directly ordered: "After you go back, release all the arrested people, just let him not make trouble, the emperor is preparing to discuss in Wucheng Pavilion, don't cause trouble." ” Chen Xinjia had already made it clear who made him the governor of Shuntian Mansion, Zhu Youzhen still had the grace to carry him after all, he hesitated and said: "Lord, it is the emperor's will to purge the capital, and the lower officials dare not disobey." ” Zhu Youzhen's brows twisted in pain, and his eyes looked at Chen Xinjia coldly.
Chen Xinjia is only from a person's background, even though he is now the Yin of Shuntian Mansion and ranks third-grade, but compared to those Jinshi backgrounds, he is still a level lower in his heart.
Zhu Youzhen's gaze didn't dare to look at each other, but he just bowed his head and said nothing, and he was very helpless in his heart.
With a warning a year ago, Zhu Youzhen felt more and more constrained, although it didn't go well before, there were still many things that could go his way, but now he doesn't even have to read the cabinet documents, it is completely from the sect, Zhang I continue to 'do it for him'!
There was a raging fire in his heart, his eyes were like a sword staring at Chen Xinjia, and he said after a while, "Get out!"
” Chen Xinjia hurriedly raised his hand and said, "The next official will retire." ” Chen Xinjia breathed a sigh of relief when he came out of the Xinwang Mansion, and just as he was about to get on the sedan chair, his face was slightly stunned, and a black figure flashed through the alley on his right, as if he was going to the back door of the Xinwang.
Chen Xinjia paused and got into the sedan chair, urging the sedan chair driver to leave quickly.
He didn't know who it was, but he vaguely felt familiar!
Early the next morning, Jingyang Palace.
Zhu Xu stretched out his hands, and Li Xie Yu was busy putting on a dragon robe for him.

This is new this year, and it fits Zhu Xu's figure completely.
Cao Huachun and Liu Shimin were all dressed and stood outside the door, waiting respectfully.
By this time, everyone will understand how important today's deliberations are......
It will determine how the hardest rock of the Ming Dynasty fiddles!
From Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao and other court officials, to Qin Liangyu, Cao Wenzhao and other generals with heavy troops, each of them has paid great attention to this matter, and everything must be decided at today's 'cabinet meeting'!
Zhu Xu has been secretly taking a deep breath, he is also a little nervous, this time is really very important, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is to carry on the past and open up the future!
After tidying up for a while, Zhu Xu smiled at Li Jieyu, and accompanied by Cao Huachun and Liu Shimin, he strode towards Wucheng Pavilion.
The decoration of Wucheng Pavilion was extraordinarily grand, Zhu Xu stepped in, and the officials and generals who had already sat down got up together, bowed down and raised their hands: "The ministers see the emperor!"
” Zhu Xu raised his eyes and saw that in the huge hall of Wucheng Pavilion, there was a long rectangular table, and on the left sat Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao, Cao Wenzhao, etc., and on the right were Qin Liangyu, Yang Sichang, Lu Xiangsheng, and so on.
On both sides of the table was a row of chairs, in front of which Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Changrun, Lai Zongdao, Zhang Ixu, Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu and others were all listening.
Such a scale is tantamount to the Ming Court!
Zhu Xu walked to the front of the table and sat down before smiling: "Zhongqing is flat." ” "Emperor Xie!"
A group of people stood up and looked at Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu said: "Sit down, today's cabinet discussion, the old master of Sun Pavilion will speak, and the ministers and staff officers, I will bring a pair of ears." ” Although the emperor said this, no one dared to be careless, and they all sat on the chair with a cautious little ass, and seemed to be looking at Sun Chengzong, but in fact, they were all observing Zhu Xu as if they were nothing.
Zhu Xu didn't care, took a cup of tea and took a sip.
Sun Chengzong stood up, leaned over slightly to Zhu Xu, and then gestured to the group of people below, holding a document in his hand, and said loudly: "There are eight cabinet discussions today, the first one, to establish the military system."
Second, a war zone should be demarcated.
Third, candidates for the general army of the eighteen provinces.
Fourth, food.
Fifth, the establishment, ranks, military songs, flags, etc.
Sixth, the prison army.
Seventh, the number.
Eighth, domination. ” Before this meeting, Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao and others were angry with most of the people here, so no one was surprised.
King Ping, King Jing and others knew that military power could not be touched at all, and they all closed their eyes, as if they were asleep.
British Gong, Xu Guogong and others also squinted slightly, as if they were sleeping and listening, they were really cunning.
When they came to Zongdao, Zhang and I continued to listen carefully, and when the time came, they needed to write a recital and promulgate the world.
As for Zhu Youzhen, his expression was dark and uncertain, his eyes were calm, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.
Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu and the others all thought about it, they didn't notify them in advance, they didn't know, and at first glance they could only think about the pros and cons.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Sun Chengzong continued: "After discussion with the Ministry of War, with the consent of most of the generals, I will change my Ming Dynasty's current physique to the military guard system and abolish the guard ......."
Zhu Xu was listening, everyone else was also listening, and no one interjected, almost all of them were Sun Chengzong reading from the script.
Zhu Xu shook his head secretly, this was not the scene he wanted, but Sun Chengzong and the others obviously didn't want any accidents, they lost their faces, and they had already explained to everyone, and no one raised the slightest suspicion.
"The Ministry of War divided the Ming Dynasty into eight theaters, the first, the dynasty.
Xian, Liu. ball, currently mainly facing the Wa State.
Second, Liaodong, the main enemy is Mongolia.
Ancient as well as remnants of Jiannu.
Thirdly, the mountain.
West, North Zhili.
Fourth, Jiang.
West, Mountain/East.
Fifth, Jiang.
Su, Zhejiang.
River.
Sixth, the Southwest Theater of Operations, including the six southwestern provinces.
Seventh, the lake.
Wide, cloud.

South, the main enemy is Annam, Burma.
Dian, etc.
Eighth, Liangguang, once there is a war, the imperial court will send a messenger or designate a general army to lead the troops and horses......"
"Edict, Qin Liangyu is four.
Sichuan General Soldier, Lu Xiang was promoted to Shaanxi.
The general army of the west, Xiong Tingbi is the general army of Liaodong, and Cao Wenzhao is the mountain.
East General Soldier, Zhao led the teaching for the mountain.
West General Soldier ......
Man Gui commanded the Tiger Wolf Guard and stationed in Tumu Fort, and Dolgon was the general soldier of the Red Gold Guard, temporarily stationed in Jingdong Daying......"
"Food, in the future, all armies will not be given food, and silver tickets will be used to redeem them, and the silver bills paid by the military department will have cash silver in Huitong Commercial Bank, and you can withdraw silver with the tickets."
"The flags, clothing, and weapons of all the armies of the Ming Dynasty will be unified.
The rank is above the general army, plus generals, generals, marshals, ......"
Zhu Xu listened silently, these were all finalized by them after repeated consideration, even so, they had to be careful in the future, and once they found something wrong, they had to change it immediately.
There is no small matter in the army!
"About the supervision of the army......
Sun Chengzong paused when he said this, glanced at Zhu Xu, and saw that he had no special reaction, so he said: "The emperor has decided not to set up a supervision army, and at the same time, he will strictly order the eunuchs not to leave Beijing at will......"
This also made the generals breathe a sigh of relief, this matter is very sensitive, and the emperor has never had an attitude, and now when he heard Sun Chengzong's words, he quietly put his heart back in his stomach.
Zhu Xu sat there and listened quietly.
He has always hesitated about the prison army, but in the end he gave up, he has enough confidence and ability to curb anyone's rebellion!
"The military hall is responsible for unified training, and the military department is responsible for dispatching ......"
Although Sun Chengzong has tried to be as concise as possible, it is still not short, and there is quite a bit of a gushing posture.
Everyone listened carefully, this is the emperor, the strict establishment of military power by the imperial court, marking the real formation of the military system of the Ming Dynasty.
The army is the foundation of a country's stability, and no one will not care.
Zhu Youzhen and the others were listening, and the others were nothing, but Zhu Youzhen felt that the military power given to these generals was too great, and there was no supervision of the army, which was too dangerous!
But this was obviously not a unilateral decision of the emperor or the military department, but a way that most of the generals agreed with, and he secretly gritted his teeth and did not say anything.
"Navy, the tentative establishment is 50,000, the chief soldier Xiong Wencan, the deputy chief soldier is four, and the artillery of the Ordnance Bureau will be given priority to supply ......"
"The emperor is the supreme commander of the three armies, and he has all immutable powers......
"Your Majesty."
Cao Huachun suddenly walked in briskly and handed two notes to Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu glanced at him, opened it quietly, and immediately narrowed his eyes, and the corners of Or's mouth seemed to be smiling.
Sun Chengzong's words stopped, and he thought for a while: "Your Majesty, that's about it, all the general soldiers have no opinions, can you order the cabinet to draft an edict, seal it, and send it to the world?"
” Zhu Xu could see that Sun Chengzong was a little anxious, this matter was indeed sooner rather than later, the general soldiers of the provinces had left the garrison for too long, and no one was sure if there would be any changes.
Zhu Xu didn't speak, and pushed the two notes forward.
Sun Chengzong sat back, looked down, looked moved, looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to transfer reinforcements from the Tiger and Wolf Guards?"
” Shen Yongmao also saw it at this time, and the content of the two notes was one: Horqin soldiers committed Chahar.
Two: Huang Taiji led the army to appear in Shen.
Thirty miles away from Yangcheng.
Shen Yongmao's heart was skipping a beat, Jiannu came to commit at this time, is it because the general soldiers in various places are 'empty', or is it really going to make a comeback?
In fact, the Ming Dynasty had no good way to deal with the cavalry, Chahar said that at most, it was necessary to withdraw to the Great Wall, but Liaodong was different, where there was no pass to defend, and the cavalry came and went freely!
It's a little more ugly, even if Huang Taiji hits the court.
Fresh can return safely!
After Shen Yongmao finished reading, he pushed towards Cao Wenzhao on his side.
Cao Wenzhao glanced at it, and suddenly his eyes were like round bells, and he stood up and said to Zhu Xu in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please order the minister to go north out of the Great Wall and fight with Jiannu!"
” Everyone else also saw it one after another, Qin Liangyu sat in the front and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please cast a city in the grassland!"
” Zhu Xu's eyes lit up, looked at Qin Liangyu and said, "Go on." ” Qin Liangyu's voice was clear, firm and powerful, and said: "Your Majesty, there are many cavalry in the grassland, and there are many invincibles in our dynasty, if three big cities are erected on the grassland, each other is horns, and artillery guards each other, there is enough food and grass, and the cavalry is connected, which is enough to deter the entire grassland!"
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
” Zhu Xu's heart jumped, this idea is really good, he has also thought about it, but it is easier said than done, and it is not a simple matter to build a city in the grassland!
However, Huang Taiji provoked at this time, and Zhu Xu had to give him a little power!
Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the table, and said with an indifferent expression, "Send a decree to the king of Shunping, and order him to summon the Mongolian and ancient tribes, in the name of my Ming Dynasty, to crusade against Horqin, and then pass the decree to Sun Chuanting.
Yang Gate, see if Huang Taiji dares to enter!
” King Shunping is the title of Lin Dan Khan.
Sun Chengzong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that the emperor would really listen to Cao Wenzhao's bold words under his fame, if the Ming Dynasty really entered the grassland, it would definitely be more terrible than Salhu.
"Yes!"
Cao Huachun responded and walked out quickly.
Cao Wenzhao and Qin Liangyu glanced at each other and sat down separately.
Zhu Xu concluded in his heart that Huang Taiji was just bluffing, if he really wanted to go to war, he would definitely not fight on both sides, they didn't have the capital!
Sun Chengzong and Shen Yongmao glanced at each other and said, "Your Majesty, Jiannu, the threat of Horqin is not in front of you, and we still have to complete the reform of the military system as soon as possible." ” Zhu Xu looked calm and said, "Well, go on, with me, they can't make any waves." ” Many people are still ready to move in their hearts, thinking that Jiannu does not have some surplus sins, and should be cut off as soon as possible, with the existing military strength of the Ming Dynasty, with artillery, it will definitely be done!
But Zhu Xu knew in his heart that although Jiannu was different from Meng.
In ancient times, it could also become a nomadic people, a huge grassland, and the Ming army could not go deep at all, and it was just a good wish to completely cut it off.
Sun Chengzong quickly changed his mind and continued the issue of military reform.
