Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 1042: Emergency in the Southeast (1)

"Damn it, this is so complicated!!"

Zhejiang.

The garrison government office.

Qi Jin put down his whip, thought of what happened in the Governor's Mansion, and said something with a frown. However, this made Man Gui and the others look puzzled.

What happened to our commander-in-chief?
I went to the Governor's Mansion, why did this happen?
"Commander-in-Chief, what happened?"

Thinking of this, Man Gui stepped forward and asked, "Shao Dutang invites you over, is it..."

"fine."

Qi Jin waved his hand.

Qi Jin did not intend to tell Man Gui and the others about what Shao Jiechun had said. After all, it involved the local area, the new policy, and other things, and it would not be good for them to know about it.

"Let's get down to business."

As several people were puzzled, Qi Jin sat on the commander's chair and said with a serious expression: "How is the Seventh Army's equipment replacement going? I begged and pleaded for the missing batch of artillery!"

“It’s coming to an end.”

Man Gui said truthfully: "By the end of next month at the latest, the Seventh Army will be able to complete the planned reorganization."

"Until the end of next month?"

Qi Jin frowned and said, "What the hell are you doing? Speed ​​up the reorganization for me. You know how much the Seventh Army is valued by His Majesty. Otherwise, after the capital, the capital area, and the northern Zhili garrison are reorganized, it will not be our turn to be the Seventh Army..."

The reorganization and reorganization of the Ming Dynasty's army was an extremely careful strategic deployment. According to Zhu Youxiao's idea, by the tenth year of the Tianqi reign, the regular army of the Ming Dynasty would be spread across all the provinces of the Ming Dynasty. During this period, the garrisons would be further abolished, the system of the military governors would be improved, and the system of the five military governors' offices would be improved... It would be extremely difficult to accomplish all of the above, but once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Today's Ming Dynasty has no choice but to take a big step forward.

As the Ming Dynasty's military reform deepened, the huge and complex military industry system had to continue to expand under the Ming Dynasty's rule in order to meet the huge needs of the navy and army.

But doing so would require massive financial support.

Although the arms trade has achieved considerable results and progress under the control of the authorities, most of this money has been invested in research and development.

Led by the Military Equipment and Cleaning Affairs Department, the Ming Dynasty's firearms and artillery were able to advance to the Hongxi style stage. This was certainly inseparable from the training system that was created, but the continuous supply of money and grain before and after this also played a crucial role.

Without constant trial and error and summary, it is simply impossible to standardize firearms and artillery and continue moving forward on the right path.

This also means that the new policies must be implemented at a faster pace. The account of the Ming Dynasty is not so easy to settle. It can be said that it is a chain of links, and the connections between them are very close.

After going around in circles, the army became the stabilizing force.

Whether it is the army or the navy, they must move forward according to the established deployment. Otherwise, when a situation really occurs in the mainland or border, or even overseas, as the most powerful fist of the Ming Dynasty, if they cannot smash the resulting calculations and turmoil, then Zhu Youxiao's big chess game may collapse.

This is definitely not what Zhu Youxiao wants to see.

"Why aren't you talking anymore?"

Seeing that his words did not receive a response, Qi Jin frowned and asked, "Why? Do you think I told you all this to please His Majesty?"

"Commander-in-Chief, that's not what we meant."

The men looked at each other, and Man Gui stepped forward and said, "We all know what you said, but the time limit cannot be shortened any further." "You also know that my Seventh Army is different from other armies. After the so-called Japanese invasion ended, we were ordered to reorganize in Zhejiang, but we did it in a dispersed manner."

"The new army reform led by the Military Affairs Council is very different from the previous military system. This cannot be done in a hurry. If it weren't for being scattered all over the place, my Seventh Army would have completed the reform long ago."

"Can……"

Having said this, Man Gui stopped talking.

In fact, how could Qi Jin not understand what Man Gui said?
But after meeting Shao Jiechun this time, Qi Jin felt that some guys had not behaved themselves until now and they were waiting for some opportunity.

From Lianghuai to Nanzhili... Qi Jin could tell something was wrong just from the internal references he had received recently. When Shao Jiechun reminded him of this, Qi Jin felt a sense of urgency.

If any problems really arise in the southeast during this period, then as the only reorganized army in the southeastern provinces, we must shoulder the burden!

What's more, their Seventh Army is stationed in Zhejiang, where it has many responsibilities. It must ensure the stability of Zhejiang, as well as the stability of Songjiang Prefecture in Zhili, while also taking into account the area of ​​Southern Zhili.

Especially Southern Zhili.

As navies in coastal provinces were successively established, regardless of their size, as the system was improved, thorough reforms were also quietly being carried out around Caojiang.

Those who were capable of commanding the river were transferred to the navy in batches.

Those who could not bear the workload were gradually laid off.

The situation regarding the control of the Yangtze River is gradually tilting towards the General Administration of Grain Transport, and the suppression of smuggling in inland rivers is the responsibility of the departments under the General Administration of Grain Transport.

In order to enable the Ming Dynasty to adapt to the pace of the new era, Zhu Youxiao, who was far away in the capital, did a lot. This was an all-round and thorough reform of the Ming Dynasty.

The system of the Ming Dynasty was very different from before.

Only by clearly dividing the powers and responsibilities can the Ming Dynasty unload its heavy burden and greet the arrival of this new era with a new attitude.

“Everyone has pressure.”

Qi Jin was silent for a moment, then looked at the crowd in front of him and said, "If we really want to compare pressure, ask yourself, who can compare to the emperor? Haven't there been enough things that happened in the Ming Dynasty in recent years?"

"Did the emperor say anything?"

"no!"

"I know the situation of the Seventh Army, but we need to think ahead and not just focus on the present. As I said before, speed up the process while ensuring that all deployments are completed!"

"Here!"

The generals responded with a bang.

Until this moment, Man Gui and the others knew one thing: something must have happened, otherwise their commander-in-chief would definitely not be in this state.

But it was also this that ignited their fighting spirit. No matter what happened, when they were really needed, when the Seventh Army was needed, they would definitely not give in.

All the things they had experienced in the past made them always hold a grudge, even though many people had died in their hands before. But it was also because of some things they had learned that made them understand that compared to those they caught and killed, those guys hiding in the dark were the ones who deserved to be caught and killed.

But later, some situations occurred in Nanyang, which made it necessary to maintain stability in the southeast, so we could only deal with that situation. But now, Nanyang has calmed down, can some things be settled?
