Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 940: Improving Military Discipline
Zhu Youxiao fully understood the difficulty of reform. If he wanted the Ming Dynasty to regain vitality and gradually return to its position as the hegemon of both land and sea, he had to promote a group of people who were willing to work from the central government to the local governments, and from the local governments to the central government, and put them in suitable positions to do specific tasks. Only in this way could the reform process be promoted.

Of course, this alone is far from enough.

If people who are willing to work just do things without thinking and don't really understand why they are doing them, they will fall behind sooner or later.

When he decided to do this, Zhu Youxiao was very clear about the people who could follow in his footsteps, and as he kept moving forward, many people would inevitably fall behind.

Therefore, building a talent echelon becomes particularly important.

It is for this reason that Zhu Youxiao is grateful for the era he lives in. Although he has to deal with a lot of messes, this era also has talents of different ages, including the old, middle-aged and young generations. This means that as long as Zhu Youxiao can make a good connection, he will not lack people to use in at least the next few decades.

As long as we can do a good job in talent cultivation and wait for each batch of talents to play their respective roles in different periods, especially at the important turning points of each period, and truly lead the Ming Dynasty from its old path to a new journey, the Ming Dynasty can be truly revitalized.

It rained heavily.

Seoul seemed gloomy and depressing.

Sun Chengzong sat on the official hat chair, staring at Zhu Youjian who was silent. This royal grandson had just rushed back to Seoul today and hadn't even changed his clothes.

After only a few months of not seeing each other, Sun Chengzong keenly noticed that his Royal Highness seemed to have changed a lot since he left Korea and rushed back to the capital for his wedding.

This change is from the inside out.

"Lord Sun, there is something I think should be done." After an unknown amount of silence, Zhu Youjian leaned forward, stood up and took off his wet clothes, his expression unusually calm.

"Among the Korean garrison, those who are found to be corrupt and committing crimes must not be allowed to stay alive. They must all be arrested by me!"

Sun Chengzong frowned slightly. He knew something about this matter and he had thought about resolving it at first. However, that period was a critical period when the focus of suppressing the rebellion shifted from the Ming Dynasty to the Korean army. In order to avoid any variables before and after this, their attitude towards this matter was to slow down for the time being.

Wait until the army led by the Korean royal family is able to compete with the rebellious forces, and then gradually arrest those problematic people in batches.

The war in North Korea cannot be stopped.

Especially after the bilateral joint efforts were launched, it would be even more impossible to stop. As the highest commander sent by the Ming Dynasty to Korea, Sun Chengzong was extremely clear that his own emperor clearly did not want Korea to be stable. The banner he had raised in the past was just a banner. What the emperor really wanted was a chaotic Korea, but Korea had to be dominated and deterred by the Ming Dynasty.

The most intuitive feeling is that since the Ming Dynasty sent troops to aid Korea, the scale of shipbuilding and maritime trade in the coastal areas of Liaodong, especially those very close to Korea, has increased several times. What is more important is that in the past few years, many women have been sent from Korea to Liaodong. Of course, those who are good-looking and have a good family background were bought by the Thirteen Factories in Tianjin and then sent to various parts of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to the above, a large number of young and strong people were sent to various places in Liaodong, and a large amount of gold and silver flowed into the Ming Dynasty. With the continued increase in maritime trade, the new currency of the Ming Dynasty circulated into Korea. Now, from top to bottom, Korea has the habit of using the new currency of the Ming Dynasty, and the scale is constantly increasing.

Without these, not to mention other places, just Liaodong, which is remote from the court, would not have had the changes it has today, even with the support and support of the central government.

"The situation in many parts of Korea has changed." Sun Chengzong was silent for a long time before he spoke: "There is even a group of Korean soldiers who have rebelled. During the time that Your Highness was away from Korea, a lot of things happened in Korea."

Zhu Youjian just patted his butt and left Korea for some time, but many burdens in Korea were placed on Sun Chengzong alone.

Many things that happened during this period were closely related to the disaster in North Korea. Because of this incident, the North Korean royal family adopted an attitude of inaction on many issues.

No money to care!!

Especially in the military, let alone the distribution of food and wages, even having enough food to eat cannot be guaranteed, and many soldiers are hungry most of the time.

Among all the events that happened, what Sun Chengzong could not accept the most was that Li Shi rebelled. This new generation of Korea, which had gradually risen during the period of suppressing rebellions, actually rebelled against the Korean royal family. The direct result of this was that the usurper Li Jong got another chance to breathe.

"I learned all this when I went to court."

Zhu Youjian said calmly, "But that's exactly the case. Shouldn't we be alert? If we ignore some of the phenomena in the garrison just because of some changes in the situation, then Lord Sun, do you think the garrison in the court is the court's garrison, or will it gradually become a private army?"

Zhu Youjian knew best how angry the emperor was about this matter.

From the very beginning, they got one thing wrong. They belonged to the Ming Dynasty first and to suppress the rebellion second. If they only considered the situation in Korea and ignored their own situation, then why did they come to Korea from the Ming Dynasty?

It is true that Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty has fulfilled its responsibilities and obligations as a suzerain state. Many things in Korea cannot be handled by the Ming Dynasty alone. Can the Korean royal family just do nothing?
"What does His Royal Highness intend to do?"

Sun Chengzong looked at Zhu Youjian and said.

"I plan to go to Pyongyang."

Zhu Youjian said, "I came to Seoul this time just to talk to Lord Sun and find out how important what we are going to do next is to our Korean garrison."

"Ping An and Hamgyong Provinces must be rectified first. Anyone who violates the military laws and disciplines of the Ming Dynasty will be punished accordingly, no matter who they are."

"I will never allow a bad apple to spoil the whole pot of soup. The above-mentioned roads are adjacent to Liaodong and are also important rear bases for bilateral cooperation. If there is a problem here, the impact will be too great."

"If this is the case, the Joseon royal family will definitely have some ideas after knowing this." Sun Chengzong thought for a moment, then looked at Zhu Youjian and said, "Your Highness, do you want me to mediate?"

"Yes."

Zhu Youjian nodded and said, "This is also the reason why I rushed back to Seoul first. I wanted to see what the Korean war was like. Since they are not capable, I will give them more power as soon as possible. This rectification is just the beginning. When the rectification is completed, my Korean garrison must change. We cannot stumble over the same thing twice!!"
