Chapter 108 Finalized


You would never have thought that ten years later in history, the Manchu Qing Kouguan, the Ming Dynasty's national strength was exhausted, there was nothing to resist, the country changed hands, the artifact fell, and the people wailed.

Zhu Xu didn't care whether they could understand the hidden emotions in his words, his eyes were calm, his tone was sonorous, and he said: "I have several requirements for 'military reform', first, 'military reform' is first and foremost to complete the set goals, you can't hesitate at all, and put aside those calculations in your hearts.

Second, I want efficiency, my Ming army, must be like an arm, the first priority is efficiency, that is, to kill and kill, those purposes of checks and balances, for me to cut down.

Third, the Generalissimo's Palace, where the emperor is also the Generalissimo, customized.

Fourth, we will implement a compulsory military service system, and all those of appropriate age must enlist in the army, without exception, with a limit of three years......"

Sun Chengzong and the others listened to Zhu Xu's words, and many people looked solemn.

Obviously, the emperor was not satisfied with their 'military reform' plan, especially when it came to the 'checks and balances', which was precisely what they valued and mattered most.

"Brainstorming and innovating," Zhu Xu looked at this group of people and said calmly: "What you said just now, Elder Sun Ge and the Ministry of War will go back and think about it seriously, the meeting will be held again, and you will be given two days, and the new 'military reform' will be submitted as soon as possible, and it will fully reflect your thoughts and intentions."

The big meeting was set in three days, and the various officials should be selected and put in place as soon as possible, and Wu Chengge would temporarily send it to the Generalissimo's Mansion for use......"

Sun Chengzong and everyone knew that this was the final decision, so they got up one after another, raised their hands and said, "The ministers obey the order." ” These people were just about to leave, and Zhu Xu said again: "By the way, when you are meeting, the cabinet, the six books, and the squire will be present as observers. ” Sun Chengzong's expression moved slightly, looking at Zhu Xu, he was a little unsure of Zhu Xu's meaning for a while, and after a while, he raised his hand and said, "The minister obeys the order." ” Zhu Xu put Xiao Ciye, who was asleep again, aside, got up and said, "Let's go, we are all eating in the palace today, and I have already prepared the imperial dining room." ” Many of the people present had eaten with Zhu Xu, and their faces were calm, but most of them were still very excited, the emperor was already hard to see, and it was a great honor to be able to eat together.

At the wine table, more than 20 people were present, there was no cup to change the lamp, under Zhu Xu's appeasement, what they said was the real parent's short, today this one gave birth to a son, that one has a grandson, this one has a concubine, that one has continued the string, how about a son, the daughter is going to marry again, and so on.

Sun Chengzong and other old people also talked and laughed, and told interesting things about the family, but the monarch and the ministers were harmonious, and the wine table was harmonious.

After more than half an hour, Sun Chengzong and a group of people left the Qianqing Palace one after another, in groups of threes and twos, whispering.

"The emperor is still very close, not so ......

Arbitrary, not listening to advice......"

"Yes, you have less contact, more contact, and the emperor is still very easy to ......"

"Actually, I think that what the emperor said is also right, the guard system should have been abolished a long time ago, and my Ming military system has to start all over again, the emperor did the right thing!"

"I am a Ming inside and out, I need to rebuild not only the military system, so many people outside are shouting, but what has I done to my Daming, I am not thinking about continuing to fight for power and profit, and I am still ...... to survive."

"It's okay to say that our 'military reform' is okay, you haven't seen the 'New Deal', it has been delayed for more than two months, and it is still only on the surface, and the things in it have not yet been involved......

"Well, we still have to go ahead, and we will talk to Sun Ge Lao tomorrow, and the Ministry of War will have a good talk, the 'military reform' must be decided as soon as possible, and we can't give civilian officials the first ......."

"That's right, now the military positions and ranks are new, maybe we can ...... further" "Yes, yes, I almost forgot about this, let's go, go and ask Sun Ge Lao, how did those officials in the Generalissimo's Mansion come here, and see if you can mix up an official and a half-job!"

A group of general soldiers left the palace in groups of three or five, and rushed to the military headquarters with the smell of alcohol.

Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao and others did not return to the military department, but turned to the cabinet and sat down in Sun Chengzong's class room.

Shen Yongmao was worried in his heart, and said: "Pavilion Elder, the emperor's meaning is already very clear, if the Generalissimo's Mansion is not controlled, how can it be good?"

” Sun Chengzong is also worried about this, the meaning of the Qianqing Palace is very clear, the army must be like an arm, there are not so many constraints, but this is not in line with the Central Plains Dynasty's tradition of emphasizing literature and suppressing military force, and there is a real threat here, the Ming Dynasty from the beginning of the ancestor, the military power is extremely important, anyone who tries to get involved, no matter what the situation, there will be no good results.

Therefore, this military power must not be without moderation!

The crux of the matter was that no matter how much they objected, the Emperor was able to bypass them, or even kick them aside completely.

At that time, the emperor, who is completely unfettered, will act more unscrupulously.

Sun Chengzong frowned and pondered, suddenly looked up at Shen Yongmao, and said, "Have you chosen the people from the Generalissimo's Mansion?"

” Shen Yongmao didn't expect Sun Chengzong to suddenly change the topic, and thought about it, "The heads of all departments and bureaus are all experienced civil officials in the army from all over the country, and they have been prepared and sent to the Governor's Yuan for review, as for the eight generals, it depends on the emperor's thoughts." ” Sun Chengzong shook his head and said, "These eight generals are what I left to those local commanders, and they have no real power, let them go, I will urge the Governor's Yuan later, let them go as soon as possible, no matter what, set up the Generalissimo's Mansion first, as long as I am in one day, things will not get out of control." ” Shen Yongmao was slightly stunned, and then he realized something, and said, "Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible."

What Cao Wenzhao said about setting up several armies under the command of the emperor, how should this be handled?

” Cao Wenzhao is Zhu Xu's absolute confidant, everyone knows it very well, and it is rumored that he is the candidate to succeed Sun Chengzong, and what he said openly in the Qianqing Palace is extremely clear that he is spreading words to everyone for Zhu Xu.

His arms couldn't reach his thighs, Sun Chengzong's expression was heavy, and he said, "Chijinwei, Tainingwei and Cao Wenzhao's fast counter battalion are now training, these three, no, and the 20,000 Jiannu cavalry of Dolgon, we won't touch these four, and hand them over to the emperor." ” Shen Yongmao's brows furrowed, and he immediately let go, for so many years, this kind of thing has been more than once or twice, and their receptivity has been exercised.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't care much about these, and said, "Then from the second half of the year, the southern provinces, I will stabilize first, from the mountain.

Start in the east and other places, first solve the coastal provinces, and then gradually advance inside, I can't say, Sun Ge Lao, Shen Daren are going to go out of Beijing, it is best to lead the army in the name of drills, and deter some small and unsubservient hearts!

” The things in front of me have all been compromised under Zhu Xu's pressure, and they can be regarded as basically having an end, and it is time to consider actual actions.

Sun Chengzong took a deep breath, his face was firm, and said, "Well, the plan will be decided first, and the place will be given some buffer time."

We will first start to solve the problem of Chahar, and then we can go south with confidence and make every effort to deal with the 'military reform' matter. ” Shen Yongmao, Lu Xiangsheng and others also nodded, Chahar is now a fish bone inserted in Daming's throat, every move is involved, and it is time to deal with it.
