What Sun Chengzong said was not detailed, just a general idea.
However, Zhu Xu still heard a lot of things from it, although he still followed his main plan, but there were many more 'checks and balances', from the capital to the capital, from the inside of the yamen to the outside of the yamen, layer upon layer, nine twists and eighteen twists and turns, quite complicated.
Zhu Xu doesn't like these 'checks and balances', and always feels that this is the 'bane' of a country, and in the current society, the people's hearts are better than everything, and no matter how good the system is, it will become a quagmire with the passage of time, which is the root of corruption and the core of the struggle.
However, we have to admit that without these 'checks and balances', a country cannot last long, and it is a disaster for both the country and the people.
At the same time, Zhu Xu also found another problem, in Sun Chengzong's plans, there is no 'navy', all of them are aimed at the 'army'!
"Your Majesty," Sun Chengzong's words continued, "With the five battalions, the army of the whole country can be further reduced, not only can it more effectively deal with civil unrest and external invasions, but also greatly reduce the expenditure of the state treasury......
The minister also believed that although the new barracks could not be stopped, the size could be reduced, and that there would be no major fighting for the foreseeable time, and that the current armament was sufficient for defense ......"
Zhu Xu held the already cold teacup, his expression did not move, and his heart kept changing.
Sun Chengzong's thinking is still 'modest', and there is no sign of forging ahead, so the 'military reform' led by him will inevitably be 'modest', and it will not burst out the sharpness that the army should have, and it will not take a hundred years to repeat the mistakes of the Ming Dynasty's 'Wei system' again.
Sun Chengzong said for half an hour, and then he ended, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the general idea of the minister, and the specific rules are still being formulated. ” Zhu Xu poured out the herbal tea in his hand, picked up the teapot and poured it for himself, changed a cup of tea for Sun Chengzong, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said thoughtfully: "In the Generalissimo's Mansion, it should be further refined, the Operations Office is responsible for strategic planning, tactical formulation, etc., the Command Office is responsible for the headquarters and front-line command, the Training Office is responsible for command, training, and intelligence is responsible for collecting battle maps, intelligence, infiltration, etc......."
Sun Chengzong listened carefully, and when he saw that it did not exceed his overall structure, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and silently remembered.
"Regarding the establishment of the five battalions, I basically have no opinion, but overseas is different from the mainland, the key to victory is not on land but at sea, and without sea dominance, it is equivalent to facing cavalry on the plains, and there is no chance of victory......
Zhu Xu took another sip of tea, looked at Sun Chengzong, and said with a calm expression: "Therefore, it is important to have a fortress on the island, but the navy is the key to victory, and the Wa Kingdom ......
Regardless of the moment, Ryukyu, Taiwan, Luzon, Old Port, this is a line, it is both a defensive line and a blockade line, and it can't just be a matter of building a big battalion.
For those at sea, it is necessary to consult separately.
The few places mentioned before all boil down to the War Department, I also plan to set up the Admiralty, the specific plan and method I have already let Xiong Wencan, Tang Wang is doing it, the Generalissimo's Mansion will leave a place for them, the rest, you will discuss again, don't be in a hurry to make a decision, I hope to wait for the general troops from all over the country to enter Beijing next year, and see what they think......"
Sun Chengzong could clearly feel that the emperor in front of him seemed to have really changed, not as urgent as before, and he was a little unbelievable calmly.
"Isn't it that the emperor is playing with other ideas?"
Sun Chengzong looked up at Zhu Xu, as if he wanted to see something in his eyes.
Zhu Xu put down the teacup and refilled it with self-care, and said: "'Military reform' is a matter of great importance, we must be cautious, we must have extensive support, and we must not act arbitrarily......
Sun Chengzong listened to it very curiously, aren't you the ones who have been doing it all the time?
As if he didn't see Sun Chengzong's expression, Zhu Xu continued: "The 'military reform' plan is brewing in the imperial court first, and it will be expanded in a small area, and it is necessary to pay attention to secrecy and not cause major changes, especially disarmament matters, which must be prudent and orderly, and do not cause chaos......
Shaanxi.
The six provinces in the west are okay to say, there is Qin Liangyu pressing, cloud.
The southern area is complicated, not only facing external enemies, but also internally complicated, not only need to be suppressed by a large army, but also to ensure that the reform is orderly, and there is not enough prestige, and the people trusted by the imperial court are there.
These Sun Chengzong were also clear, and said: "Yes, the minister plans to go to Beijing again after next year to personally supervise the implementation of the 'military reform'." ” As long as it is controlled, it is not afraid of a backlash, unlike the 'political reform' that has too much impact, there are constraints everywhere and it is difficult to trek.
Zhu Xu nodded slightly, and said: "Well, let's talk about this next year, your current priority is 'military reform', which must be carefully improved and completed in two to three years......"
Sun Chengzong was surprised by Zhu Xu's good speech, and said vigilantly, "Yes." ” Zhu Xu has a lot of thoughts about the 'military reform', especially the navy, but these can't be said to Sun Chengzong in one go, and they can only be talked about together after the general soldiers from all over the country, especially the naval generals, enter Beijing.
After another sip of tea, Zhu Xu looked up at Sun Chengzong and said, "Is there anything else?"
” Sun Chengzong groaned and said: "Your Majesty, now the minister urgently needs manpower to help, and a military department is simply not enough, the minister hopes that Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Wenzhao can be temporarily lent to the minister." ” Zhu Xu's eyebrows moved slightly, and then he smiled and said: "Well, yes, Cao Wenzhao is your old subordinate, Lu Xiangsheng is quite experienced in politics and the army, and he is indeed a good helper, so let's do it, Wucheng Pavilion I will temporarily allocate it to you for use to discuss the 'military reform', by the way, the drawings for the cabinet reconstruction will be done and given to me, and I plan to build the Generalissimo's Mansion in the Huiji Gate, corresponding to the cabinet, you can do the specific design, and the design will be shown to me......"
Sun Chengzong once again suspected that Zhu Xu had any other plans, his heart sank slightly, and he was a little uneasy, but he still agreed: "The minister obeys the order." ” "Well, go ahead, be careful, don't leave anything behind."
Zhu Xu put down the teacup and said.
"Yes."
Sun Chengzong had scruples in his heart, got up and raised his hand, and said goodbye.
Zhu Xu poured another cup of tea, turned it in his hand, and looked at the back of Sun Chengzong leaving.
These people are deeply limited by the Confucian idea of "moderation", they seek a 'completeness' in everything, they have no sharp spirit, and the things in front of them are okay, if they are planned for 10 years, 20 years, or even 100 years, they will not only not be able to become good assistants, but will even become a drag and an obstacle.
It seems that we have to find another way.
Zhu Xu took a sip of tea and muttered to himself.
"Your Majesty," Cao Huachun hurried in from outside, holding a note, and said, "Your Majesty, four.
Chuan, expensive.
The earthquake in the border area of the state, the preliminary estimate is that at least seven prefectures and hundreds of thousands of people are affected......"
Zhu Xu was almost numb to these, took the note and looked at it, and then nodded and said, "Leave it to the cabinet to deal with."
"This is the flying pigeon of Jinyiwei, and the specific report of the two provinces may be several days slower.
Cao Huachun nodded, and then hesitated, "Your Majesty, there have been some abnormal rumors spreading in the government and the opposition recently. ” Zhu Xu stood up, walked to his desk, and said with a normal expression: "What kind of rumors are they?"
” Cao Huachun took a few steps forward and said, "It's all a cliché, saying that the disaster is a warning from God to the emperor, saying that the emperor has no virtue, and there is a lot of speculation about the succession of the first emperor, and there are also nursery rhymes." ” Zhu Xu snorted, it's nothing new, there are more messy gossips about him in the capital, and there are more lice and no itching, so he waved his hand and said, "Let the Governor's Yuan control it, this kind of thing can't be stopped." ” Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu, hesitated and said: "Someone played, please ask the emperor to 'sin his own edict' to calm down the people's grievances, but the book was suppressed by the cabinet and did not go to the celebrant supervisor." ” Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows and looked up at Cao Huachun.

Chongzhen has made several edicts in history, obviously it won't be his own willingness, this is the old routine used on him?
'Guilty Edict' is not used casually, the two most famous in history are Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Chongzhen.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did play a role in alleviating the instability of the country caused by excessive wars, so later emperors often followed suit.
But Chongzhen's 'edict of sin's self-inflicted guilt' has an extremely 'sad' color, it is the 'edict' of the dead country, and the last one was written before he hanged himself on the coal mountain.
At this time, if Zhu Xu makes an 'edict of guilt', he will undoubtedly dig his own grave and admit that everything before was 'wrong', and the voice of 'anyway' will be overwhelming!
Something sinister!
