Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 385 A big gamble!

Luo Sigong detected the traces of the White Lotus Sect and initially detected Xu Hongru's intentions. During this period, the Jinyi Guards traced the remnants of oral smuggling, and the Luan Guards discovered the hidden piles condemned by Jianlu. An extremely obvious warning!

Even though he has indeed solved some of the evils and cancers since he ascended the throne, the evils and cancers that have arisen since the Ming Dynasty has been inherited, especially the hidden dangers hidden in the dark, can be said to be too numerous to count. If during this period, If you dare to make any omissions or slack off, you will probably fall short!

This is definitely not acceptable to Zhu Youxiao.

a few days later.

Wuying Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Military Affairs Council has issued an official letter to the Rong government, the Governor-General's Office of Zhili, the Tianjin Garrison Admiral's Office, and the Baoding Garrison Admiral's Office to prepare for the establishment of a rapid reaction force in the designated area."

Wei Guangxu's expression was serious, and he bowed to the emperor and said: "In addition, the Military Academy has also conveyed an edict to the Arms and Cleaning Department under the Shaofu. All kinds of firearms, artillery, ordnance, etc. produced will be given priority to the above-mentioned ministries to meet their needs." The Military Academy has established a rapid response mechanism..."

The other officers of the Military Academy standing in the hall, listening to Wei Guangxu's report, all had different thoughts in their hearts. In the past few days, the Military Academy has become extremely busy. In addition to getting everything done, the emperor's attitude was extremely firm regarding the quick response and preparations, and he must make it clear in the shortest possible time.

No one knew what happened that made the emperor pay so much attention to rapid response preparation, but their intuition told them that something big must have happened.

Regarding matters related to the White Lotus Sect, Zhu Youxiao did not talk to the Military Affairs Council. The less people knew about this matter, the better. After all, Luo Sigong left Beijing for Shandong, and the matter still needs to be investigated in detail. If there is news in the capital during this period, If Xu Hongru and others learn about this, they will definitely take risks.

There are no secrets at all in this world, there are only information gaps and time differences. The sooner who can seize the opportunity, the more advantages they will have.

Listening to the situation reported by Wei Guangxu, Zhu Youxiao had a serious expression and said in a deep voice: "Have all the assigned guerrilla generals been identified?"

"Your Majesty, everything is clear."

Wei Guangxu hurriedly bowed his head and replied. At the same time, Jin Xuan, who was standing behind him, held up a memorial, and Liu Ruoyu, who was serving in front of the emperor, hurriedly bowed his head and came over.

The advantage of the ad hoc Military Affairs Council is that military affairs in Northern Zhili and Liaodong can be handled efficiently without going through the Ministry of War. This is definitely not because Zhu Youxiao does not trust Wang Xiangqian, the Minister of War, but in fact there are too many things. Zhu Youxiao I don’t want to have any trouble or waste precious time.

"Cao Wenyao, He Renlong, Tang Jiuzhou, Deng Qilong..." Zhu Youxiao looked at the memorial he held. When he saw the familiar names, a faint smile appeared on his lips. With these generals who are good at fighting, they will take up their appointed posts. As the chief officer of the rapid reaction force, many things can be resolved quickly.

Especially for the rapid reaction force located in Tianjin, Zhu Youxiao directly transferred Cao Wenyao, the former Tianjin Navy guerrilla general, to take over the department in order to avoid wasting time.

According to Zhu Youxiao's overall military reform concept, after adjusting and improving the garrison system in the capital and Gyeonggi, he will further clarify the army organization and army levels. This needs to be tried out in a small number of armies first. After the various mechanisms are perfected, he will Gradually promote it to various places.

The rotten health system will inevitably be eliminated. In the future, the border areas with bitter cold will retain the health centers of a reclamation nature to strengthen the control and construction of these places. Even under Zhu Youxiao's vision, the prison system and the health centers will be combined. The system was fully mixed and used as a means of central governance. After the internal shortcomings and cancers of the Ming Dynasty were initially resolved, the foundation would be laid for future extensions to the northwest, northeast, and southwest.

Nurqian, Monan, Mobei, the entire Western Region, the Snowy Plateau, the Chief Secretary of Jiaozhi and other places will once again be under the actual control of the Ming Dynasty! !

This will certainly be a long journey. In order to realize this strategic concept, the deepening reform of the Ming Dynasty Army must be carried out in an orderly manner. Following the Four Guards Battalion, this group of rapid reaction troops was incorporated into Zhu Youxiao to pilot the military restructuring sequence.

The Four Guards Battalion headed by Cao Wenzhao will try out a staff system in the near future to eliminate the hidden dangers of self-respect in supporting troops, stifle laymen commanding experts, and abolish the system of civilian or internal officials supervising the army. From now on, the internal mechanism of the Ming Army will be Ushering in a new change.

The rapid reaction force headed by Cao Wenyao will improve its logistics support capabilities, solve the difficult problem of marching, clarify the organizational specifications of each branch of the military, and promote the system of being able to fight in wartime and training hard outside of war.

When the above two groups have explored and summarized a set of corresponding mechanisms, they will proceed with the integration and in-depth reform. When the above matters are clarified, they will be tried again in other aspects.

Military reform is different from other aspects. The most taboo is to move forward in big strides. We must move forward steadily, so that even if there are mistakes, there is still room for mediation and adjustment, and we will not suffer a serious setback.

"In the name of the Military Council, I convey my edict to the above-mentioned generals."

After reading this memorial, Zhu Youxiao said with firm eyes: "When you are transferred to a new military position, you are going to the battlefield. The string in your heart must be tightened. The rapid reaction force is different from other armies. It must be Use me in the first battle, and you will definitely win with me! If anyone dares to fail, or is perfunctory, then the Ming Dynasty's military law is definitely not a show-off!!"

"The ministers obey the order."

All the officials in the Military Academy bowed and bowed.

This is serious.

At the same time, all the ministers were filled with emotion. In fact, it was true. Just the establishment of rapid response forces in various places. The above-mentioned guerrilla generals clearly commanded more than 5,000 people and had many arms under their jurisdiction, and even involved mixed formations. , and their first battle with Zhu Youxiao was set to counter Bai Lian's rebellion.

If Cao Wenyao and the others do not perform brilliantly during the suppression of Bai Lian, then their future military careers will come to an end.

Although Zhu Youxiao did not say this clearly, he used other methods to create a tense atmosphere for these generals, so that they did not dare to relax at all.

I have already placed my bet on this huge gamble.

Looking at the ministers gathered in front of him, Zhu Youxiao's eyes sparkled. After curbing the arrogance of the Jianlu, there will also be a battle in the Daming Pass. If the southwest is also included, if the above two battles can be successful, then In the future, the resistance to promoting the reform of the Ming army will undoubtedly be reduced a lot.

"How is the matter involving the adjustment of garrison security going forward now?" Zhu Youxiao, who thought of this, looked at the ministers in front of him and continued: "How is the investigation involving the garrison posts under the jurisdiction of the Northern Zhili Province going forward?"

Solving the issue of the quick reaction force is only one part of it. Zhu Youxiao still has more things to do, and he cannot relax at all.
