Daming: I was exposed by Zhu Di's Sims life!

Chapter 132 The Crowd, the Silent Army

"Let them go forward for three days first, and dismiss the generals in the previous guards. If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, if the general is useless, it will be useless to train the sergeants well." Zhu Gaoxuan instructed, "You should observe more and find capable people from the sergeants to fill the vacancy left by the removal of generals. Tell these sergeants, as long as they perform well, they will be promoted quickly!"

Chi Rong nodded: "Don't worry, this matter is on me."

……

In the empty and cold imperial study room, the old man put down the last memorial, and rubbed the sore brows.

After becoming emperor, Zhu Di realized that he didn't really like this job very much.Sitting in the imperial study room and fighting wits and courage with the memorials and documents every day, sitting for a whole day is boring.

When he was the king of Yan, Zhu Di felt that the throne of the emperor was full of temptations, but when he really did it, he found that it was nothing more than that, and it was not as easy and leisurely as being a prince.But he still desperately wanted to be a good emperor, and spent countless hours on this career that he didn't really like.

This is not against himself, Zhu Di just wants to prove, prove to himself, and prove to Zhu Yuanzhang, who has long since died, that he is stronger than Jianwen, and in his Zhu Di's hands, the prosperous age of Ming Dynasty has come!
"Little Orange."

Zhu Di yelled, and Tang Cheng, the eunuch holding a whisk, came over and saluted respectfully: "What is the order of Lord Long Live?"

"I heard that King Qi is training soldiers?" Zhu Di asked casually.

The prince's military training, I'm afraid the emperor's suspicion is about to commit again, but if the prince is Qi Wang, there seems to be no problem.

King Qi has become a new generation of military representatives after the Duke of England. If his army can't get on the stage, then there is a problem.

Everything is in balance, King Qi can directly control part of the army, provided it is within Zhu Di's controllable range.The price is that King Qi can no longer be supported by civil servants like the prince. This is a matter of principle.

If a prince is both a representative of civil servants and military officials, what is the emperor?
Eunuch representative?

Tang Cheng said: "Your Majesty, King Qi is training the palace guards in Songlu Mountain."

"How many soldiers are there in Songlu Mountain?" Zhu Di frowned slightly.

"Less than a thousand people." Tang Cheng replied.

Hearing this, Zhu Di just nodded slightly.

Songlu Mountain is located in Gyeonggi, and the emperor can allow King Qi to have an army of [-] in the southwest, but he must not tolerate King Qi having too many troops in Gyeonggi, which will directly threaten the emperor's rule.

The guards of the palace with less than a thousand people are nothing.There are hundreds of thousands of troops in the three major battalions outside the capital, and there are five city soldiers and horses and twelve guards in the city.King Qi's palace guards with less than a thousand people are like a piece of cake in front of the huge army in the capital, and there are too few teeth.

Zhu Di smiled and said: "This kid, it's a bit interesting. The people of the King of Han have already started an all-out attack, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is in trouble, and the prince is busy, but he is so leisurely and has time to train soldiers. It's true. Didn't take Hanwang and Zheng Zhichang as..."

The emperor's voice stopped abruptly.

Tang Cheng was a little puzzled, but found that Zhu Di touched his chin, as if he suddenly thought of something.

"Haha, it's getting more and more interesting!"

Zhu Di laughed suddenly, "Prince Qi, Prince, these two people are full of evil ideas, and I have not realized it until now. Presumably, Han Wang will be dumbfounded this time, and this is going to make a big commotion."

Tang Cheng didn't know why, but felt that the emperor had another convulsion.

The people of King Qi are training soldiers in Songlu Mountain, what big news can they make?

……

"Damn it, run faster for me!"

"The hundred households that run the slowest will each be punished with five military sticks!"

Chi Rong chased after him with a stick. The soldiers ran desperately, and if they ran too slowly, they would be hit with a stick.It would be fine if Chi Rong was the only one, he could drive nearly a thousand people over by himself.

But Prince Qi was too ruthless, he picked fifty people to be "pickets", wearing red armbands, and also carrying wooden sticks to drive them away with Chi Rong.

"Brother, why are you so ruthless? I am also from Yangzhou, and we are from the same prefecture!" A sergeant shouted angrily at the "chasing" pickets behind him.

The picket desperately chased after him, and responded: "My fellow, don't blame me for being a villain. The prince said that the best performer among the pickets will be the head of the picket. If you really treat me as a fellow, help me get promoted!"

"I'll promote your mother's promotion, and you'll be promoted if I'm beaten. Why do you think it's so beautiful!" the sergeant roared.

The picket was happy: "Good boy, don't run away, I will catch you and beat you today!"

Zhu Gaoxuan calculated the time, he came to Songlu Mountain to train soldiers, and it has been more than half a month.

In half a month, he clearly felt that the guards of the royal residence, which consisted of less than a thousand people, had already taken the shape of a qualified sergeant after sweeping away the normal state of corruption.

Chi Rong exclaimed: "It's only been half a month, but this army seems to have changed its body, from a mob to a gradually formed army, amazing!"

"It's still far away." Zhu Gaoyi said with a smile, "What the king wants is not a barely qualified army. What I want is to build them into a top-notch army, a silent army."

"Army of Silence?" Chi Rong was a little puzzled, "What is an Army of Silence?"

Zhu Gaoxuan said slowly: "A silent army is when the king is standing on the general platform to give a speech. Although the soldiers below have different appearances, different nationalities, different places, and different habits, they all have the same belief. In the same place, listening to the same voice, looking in the same direction, they looked up at me, silent. And when I let them charge, they can charge several times or even dozens of times the enemy without hesitation, Even if there is only one soldier left in the end, they will continue to fight bloody battles."

The morale of the army is not a constant thing. When the army suffers too many casualties, the morale will dissipate, and the sergeants will start to flee, and the combat effectiveness will naturally collapse.

Generally speaking, a normal army will be defeated if its casualties reach [-]%, and an army that can reach [-]% of its casualties without being defeated can already be called an iron army with strict military discipline.

When the casualties of a large army reach more than [-]%, no matter how tenacious this army is, it is difficult to have effective combat effectiveness.Because their numbers are not enough, it is difficult to gather together to form an effective impact on the battlefield.

Chi Rong laughed loudly when he heard the words: "My lord, you think highly of these people. I admit that these people have made great progress, but their upper limit is there. How can a group of mobs transform into what you call the silent army? Fighting to the last person, even the [-] battalion I led before can't reach the level you said!"

While the two were joking, the King of Han Mansion was about to ascend to heaven with drums and gongs.

"Come, Mr. Su, Mr. Zheng, I would like to offer a cup to the two gentlemen!"

The King of Han's face was full of red, and he drank the cup in one gulp.

Su Qing and Zheng Zhichang, aides of the palace, looked at each other and raised their glasses in return.

"Mr. Zheng has done a great job this time, this is our chief hero!" Su Qing laughed.

Zheng Zhichang waved his hand: "Where is it, I am a humble person, and it is all thanks to the praise of the prince and Mr. Su that this is what I am today."

The King of Han patted Zheng Zhichang on the shoulder and said with a big laugh: "From now on, crouching dragons and phoenix chicks are not as good as my Mr. Zheng!"

Zhu Gaoxuan was training troops in Songlu Mountain, and the Hanwang party was not idle.

They frantically confronted the princelings. Every morning, the cabinet scholars would look at the hundreds of impeachment papers on their desks and meditate.Among them, the Hanwang Party impeached the princelings, and some princelings impeached the Hanwang Party.

In half a month, hundreds of officials were imprisoned in the capital!

After paying a painful price, the King of Han finally achieved rich results-the princelings suffered heavy losses, and all the relatives stayed behind closed doors.

Liu Guan, the princeling of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, took the blame and resigned. There is no one in the Metropolitan Procuratorate who is a princeling!
While the three of them were drinking and having fun, someone came from the palace.

The eunuch who delivered the decree said loudly: "The emperor's dictation, Zheng Zhichang, the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, neglected his duties, used power for personal gain, and was relegated to be the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. I respect you!"

In the palace of the King of Han, silence fell instantly.

"Wait, is there something wrong?" King Han was a little confused.

The eunuch who delivered the decree bowed his head and said: "My lord, this is the will of the Long Live Lord, how dare the servants cheat."

The King of Han felt exhausted from all his strength, and collapsed on the chair, his mind was exhausted: "What is this doing, what is the emperor doing?"

Hanwang's party members finally suppressed the prince at all costs, but when they were celebrating, God made a big joke - "Zheng Zhichang was relegated"

It would be fine if he was relegated to other departments, the Ministry of Punishment, it took the crown prince more than ten years to break into an iron bucket!
From Zheng Ci, to later Lu Zhen, to Liu Guan, to today's Wuzhong, even the four Ministers of the Ministry of Punishment are all princelings!
Zheng Zhichang defected from the princeling party to the Hanwang party, and now he has been banished as the servant of the Ministry of punishment. Why should the Ministry of punishment tear him up?
The King of Han pushed Zheng Zhichang to the cusp of the storm, hoping that Zheng Zhichang would help him fight against the princelings. Now that the princelings have not fallen, Zheng Zhichang fell first.

"Why, this king doesn't understand why the emperor suddenly changed the direction of the wind and intervened in this matter." The King of Han racked his brains to understand how he lost.

Su Qing said faintly: "Before we were only focused on fighting the prince, but when we met a princeling, we forgot a very important thing."

"What's the matter?" King Han and Zheng Zhichang stared at Su Qing.

Su Qing took a deep breath: "Balance!"

The king of Han was ashamed when he heard the words.

He finally understood why he lost.

No wonder King Qi remained indifferent to the attack of the Hanwang Party, and it was no wonder that the princelings, who had been impeccable before, suddenly became full of flaws.

They didn't need to do anything, they just looked at each other coldly, watching Hanwang's arrogance.

King Qi, Prince, and King Han have reached a perfect triangular balance, whoever breaks the balance first will lose first.

And King Han is the one who broke the balance.

So he lost.
