Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 69: Imperial soldiers are so narrow-minded?
"It's still a little bit boring."

In Dongnuan Pavilion, Zhu Youxiao stood with his hands behind his back, scanning the map in front of him, frowning slightly, "There is no complete and proportional military map that takes all parameters into consideration, and is not even qualified to talk about military affairs on paper. Since Luo Yangxing left the capital according to the order, has any news returned to the capital?"

"Your Majesty...not yet."

Wang Tiqian, who was serving beside him, hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Zhu Youxiao frowned even tighter.

Nowadays, there are too many things to implement and solve, but the premise is to have enough people. However, what Zhu Youxiao lacks most is talents in various fields.

If you want to attack other things first, you must first sharpen your weapons.

This principle applies no matter when.

If you want to have a full understanding of Daming, you must have maps with high reference value. Daming does not lack all kinds of maps, but Zhu Youxiao wants more. From the perspective of the whole domain, carefully The survey and mapping of the whole country and provinces, such as military, administrative, transportation, geography, water conservancy, mineral deposits, and other types of maps, and even more detailed maps of various types of prefectures and counties.

This is an extremely cumbersome system engineering, and it will take a lot of money and time to even realize this overall concept, but Zhu Youxiao is willing to invest and wait.

If you don't even have a clear idea of ​​what your home looks like, and you want to clean it, you want to tidy it up, isn't that wishful thinking?

Even Zhu Youxiao was thinking about a question, if in the 47th year of Wanli, the elite Ming army who fought in the Liao area could grasp a military map with extremely high reference value, and map the topographical trends and city pools of Liaozuo and Jianzhou Sanwei. If you know the distribution, military key points, and the distribution of Jianlu, you may be able to formulate a better military strategy.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

The military reform planned by Zhu Youxiao is not limited to abolishing redundant troops, rectifying the army, recruiting new soldiers, developing firearms, etc. If the Ming army wants to achieve nirvana and rebirth, it must carry out thorough systematic reforms, otherwise it will treat the symptoms but not the root cause farce.

The dominance of military command must be consolidated, and civilian officials should do what civilian officials should do. They must not only control administrative power, but also control dominance power, which would be too ugly.

The power empowerment of the Dudufu of the Five Armies, the adjustment and reform of the Dusiwei Office, the intensive rectification of the military establishment, the integration and development of the military industry, the training and promotion of military talents, the abolition and restraint of private soldiers in the army... This series of combined punches produced , constituted a complete military reform.

However, if you want to implement these plans and deployments, it will be impossible to realize them without several years or even longer.

After all, it involves a wide range of levels and involves many interests. One bite is not enough to make a fat man, whether it is civil servants or generals, once their core interests are touched, they will definitely not sit still. Daming can't afford it. Any fuss.

For the prospect and implementation of the Liao strategy, Zhu Youxiao not only needs to curb the expansion of Jianlu, but also control part of the military power, and more importantly, control the situation in Gyeonggi, Jimiyong, and Liaodong. Only by implementing the above deployment can it be possible Promote follow-up reforms.

……

Xiyuan, Taiye Pond, the green water is rippled, and blisters appear on the surface from time to time.

Diaoyutai is located.

Gathered more than ten generals in armor, they had different expressions, and some of them even had a fierce look in their eyes.

Hey~
Chen Ce and Tong Zhongkui sighed inwardly, even though they were summoned to Xiyuan after entering Beijing under the imperial edict, the conflict between the Zhe Bing and the Shi Zhu Bing was still reflected between the generals and the school.

This journey back to the capital under the imperial edict made Chen CE and Tong Zhongkui extremely tired. Not only must they ensure the marching speed, but they must also pay attention to the situation of each battalion, and more importantly, pay attention to the situation of deserters in the battalion and harassment of places.

Fortunately, the accompanying eunuchs and eunuchs did not interfere with them, and even helped to meet the military ration needs every time they went to a place. Otherwise, Chen Ce and Tong Zhongkui really don't know what might happen on the way back to Beijing this time.

"I didn't expect the empire's generals to be so narrow-minded."

Just as Chen Ce and Tong Zhongkui were thinking, a voice sounded from the Diaoyutai, causing some generals to frown and look. However, when they saw something, especially the emperor's regiment dragon robe, everyone present was shocked and clasped their fists. salute.

"The last general is waiting...greetings to His Majesty!"

Surrounded by the crowd, Zhu Youxiao walked slowly, looking at the group of generals and school in front of him, but felt emotional in his heart.

The group of generals in front of them were the warriors who led their subordinates in the bloody battle of Hun River and caused heavy losses to the rampant rebels.

But the bloody battle in Hunhe became the swan song.

"Chen Ce, Tong Zhongkui."

Zhu Youxiao walked up to the generals, lifted his robe and sat on the brocade bench, looking at the two leading generals, Wang Tiqian, Wei Shitai, He Kegang and others who were accompanying him stood in different places.

"The end is here."

The two who were named by the emperor did not dare to hesitate, they all bowed their heads and stepped forward to answer.

"During the imperial edict to return to the capital, are there any people in the Zhejiang Barracks and Shizhu soldiers who refuse to obey the orders?" Zhu Youxiao said to the two of them, but his eyes glanced at the general in front of him. When he said this, Zhu Youxiao could see Someone is moving.

"Never."

Chen Ce looked down at Tong Zhongkui, and hurriedly said.

"is it?"

Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "During the rush to aid Liaodong, there was a conflict between the Zhejiang Army Battalion and the Shizhu Army in Tongzhou, and many people were killed or injured. Qi Jin, Qin Bangping, don't you two have anything to say to me?"

Among the crowd, Qi Jin and Qin Bang felt their hearts tighten.

"The last general~"

The two of them didn't know what to say.

The atmosphere in Diaoyutai became subtle.

No one expected that the emperor would talk about this matter as soon as he came up, and the accompanying generals, such as He Kegang, Ma Shilong, Man Gui, etc., showed different expressions, and most of them were unaware of the conflict between the Zhe army camp and the Shizhu soldiers.

This is the current situation of the Ming army.

Regardless of the current crisis situation, there are various contradictions between the army and the army. Although they all belong to the order of the Ming army, there are some things that really exist.

"I want to ask you, before I ordered the soldiers from Sichuan and Zhejiang to return to Beijing, how did you feel as generals of the empire when you arrived in Liaodong?"

Seeing that Qi Jin and Qin Bangping remained silent, Zhu Youxiao was not annoyed. He leaned forward, looked at Chen Ce, Tong Zhongkui and the others and asked, "I want to hear what you think, according to what you see All kinds of things, if Guochao starts a war with Jianlu, what are the chances of winning?"

Zhu Youxiao has always been concerned about Liao affairs. Don't look at him playing games with various parties and factions in the DPRK. But Zhu Youxiao knows better than anyone that there is not much time left for the Ming Dynasty. When the first year of Tianqi arrives, , if Ming Dynasty cannot make adjustments and change some of the status quo, the tragedy in Liaodi will still happen.
