Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 817 Deploy troops and generals
If the Ming Dynasty wanted to truly be reborn, it had to go through a major transformation and get rid of the old dross, which would inevitably be accompanied by bloodshed.

It is wishful thinking to expect change without bloodshed!
Since Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, he used Northern Zhili as his base, and used maintaining the suppression of rebellions in Liaodong, Sichuan and Guizhou, inspecting the Nine Borders, and suppressing the rebellion in Korea as his attraction. It took him more than three years to intimidate the central government, basically stabilize the northern provinces, and replace a number of civil and military officials.

This achievement was hard-won.

At the moment, Zhu Youxiao wants to replicate this model, reverse his past attitude towards the north and the south, try to maintain stability in the northern and southwestern provinces, speed up the pace of new policies in various places, maintain several wars in the southeastern provinces, and use war to promote reform. Not only will he stimulate changes in the southeast, but he will also stimulate the north to accelerate changes!

This is easier said than done.

the reason is simple.

The capital city is too far away from the southeast, not to mention the natural barrier of the Yangtze River!
However, the current situation has been determined, and Zhu Youxiao cannot give in at all. If he gives in once, there will be a next time, and this is not what Zhu Youxiao wants.

So Zhu Youxiao sent a group of trusted men to the south! !

"The candidates for the joint branch office for pacifying Japan must be determined as soon as possible."

Looking at the ministers in the hall, Zhu Youxiao tightly grasped his long stick and said, "But I have to say this in advance. If anyone is aiming for a career in politics or a chance to gain wealth, then give up the idea as soon as possible."

"The Joint Office for Suppressing the Japanese is bound to do a lot of dirty and tiring work. Don't go there and find yourself unable to bear it and have other ideas. I'm telling you straight, whoever dares to ruin the plan to pacify the Japanese will be more than just dismissed!!!"

"I understand!"

All the ministers in the hall bowed and saluted.

When working in the Shangshufang or the Military Affairs Council, everyone knows the emperor's temper. If you work steadily and abide by the law, what belongs to you is yours, and no one can take it away.

But if anyone focuses on other things, the laws of the Ming Dynasty are not just for show.

The previous purge in the Shaofu had arrested a number of officials and servants, which had a great deterrent effect not only on the Shaofu officials but also on other officials.

"Speaking of the matter of pacifying the Japanese, I intend to appoint Qi Jin as the chief commander in pacifying the Japanese."

Zhu Youxiao gathered his thoughts and pointed at the map in front of him and said, "No one knows the situation in Zhejiang better than Qi Jin. I feel relieved to have him in charge of suppressing the Japanese."

When Jin Xuan and Zhang Kentang heard this, they naturally thought of one person, Qi Jiguang! !

"But the troops led by Qi Jin are far from enough to suppress the Japanese in Zhejiang."

Zhu Youxiao didn't care about what the ministers thought, and continued: "I plan to select Generals Man Gui, Zhang Dadou, Zhou Dunji, Wu Wenjie, Lei Anmin and other generals to lead their troops to form three major camps to jointly fight against the Japanese. They will be under the command of Qi Jin and go to various places in Zhejiang to participate in the fight against the Japanese."

"Your Majesty, if this happens, the elite troops drawn from the three camps will be no less than 50,000." He Tengjiao frowned and stepped forward to bow, saying, "If any problems occur in the northern provinces during this period, it will not be a good thing for the court."

"I have thought of this."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "The rebellions in Sichuan and Guizhou have been suppressed. She has been suppressed, and An will be suppressed soon. Sichuan does not need so many troops."

"The four guard camps that were ordered to rush to the rescue can leave Sichuan and return to Beijing. As for the subsequent suppression of bandits in Sichuan and the exploration of the ancient Tea-Horse Road, I think they can be handed over to Bai Zaixiang personally. As for Qin Liangyu, she will follow Zhu Xieyuan and complete the rectification of the guards in Sichuan as soon as possible!!"

"Of course, some officers of the Four Guard Battalions should stay in Sichuan for special promotion. The Military Affairs Council should refer to the opinions of the Sichuan-Guizhou Governor's Office, the Sichuan Governor's Office and other places for special arrangements!!"

To seize military power, we cannot just seize those under the jurisdiction of the central government, but also those under the jurisdiction of local areas. As the reforms of the garrisons in Northern Zhili and Liaodong have achieved corresponding results, the reforms of the garrisons in various places have been quietly brewing.

Zhu Youxiao could not keep all the military commanders who rose to prominence in the suppression of the rebellion in the central government, as this would violate the core of his deepening military reform. With the imperial award of titles, a group of the best among them would go to various places to take up important positions, not only to ensure the stability of the areas under his rule, but also to ensure that the troops under his rule could fight! !
This is to speed up military reform.

When Jin Xuan, Zhang Kentang and others heard this, they all guessed the emperor's intention. Originally, according to their plan, everything would be gradually implemented in the next few years. However, due to the unrest in Zhejiang, Guizhou, Fujian and other places, this plan has been obviously accelerated.

In fact, they approved of the decision made by the emperor. There was such a big mess now. If they didn't speed up the process, who knew what would go wrong in the future.

Dirty practices such as eating empty salaries, sucking soldiers' blood, stealing and selling military equipment have been curbed or even eliminated in some armies, but there are too many troops under the Ming Dynasty, and the armies far away from the center, in northern Zhili, Liaodong and other places, still exist in this situation. If it can be curbed one day earlier, how much expenditure can be saved every year.

Not to mention, while the newly promoted generals, especially those who have received titles, still have their spirits and are still eager to gain military merits through fighting, it is better to ask them to do more than to leave them idle and wait for their spirits to be worn away. Then they will be assimilated quickly.

"In addition to what I mentioned, there is one more thing to do."

While the ministers were thinking, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and said, "All urgent military information during the suppression of the Japanese pirates must not only be transmitted to the capital, but also copied and sent to the Liaodong Governor's Office, the Korean Rebellion Suppression Office, the Sichuan and Guizhou Governor's Office, the Huguang Governor's Office, the Fujian Governor's Office, the Guangdong Governor's Office, the Dongfan and other places."

"I want to let them all know that there are still Japanese insurgency in Zhejiang. This is a national humiliation!! Damn it, a bunch of Japanese pirates actually dared to invade the sea borders and coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty at will. Sooner or later, I will make them pay the price!!"

"The fleet of the Ming Dynasty, the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, and the infantry of the Ming Dynasty want to set foot on this sea and land. I want to let them know what the price of provoking the Ming Dynasty is!!!"

"I obey the order!!"

Shouts rang out in the hall.

Since some wars are unavoidable, we should take the initiative to attack instead of passively enduring them. No matter who is in charge of the East Japan, Zhu Youxiao must conquer this land.

Zhu Youxiao wanted this land to always know what would happen if they provoked the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Youxiao wanted this land to become the Ming Dynasty's dumping ground and raw material ground! !
In the past, the Ming Dynasty was unwilling to waste financial resources on expeditions, but things were different starting from the Tianqi Dynasty. After gradually controlling Korea and forming three major fleets, Zhu Youxiao would use them as a springboard to explore the conditions of the waters of the two places. Then, he would dispatch the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty to embark on the journey of conquering this land.

The Ming Dynasty needs too much to develop. Everything on this land will become the nourishment for the Ming Dynasty to take off and witness the rise of the Ming Dynasty! !
