I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 323: Eliminate the old army and resist fiercely!
The next day.

Early morning, Fengtian Palace.

Since the dark market didn't work, Zhu Yunzhen had no choice but to bring this issue to the table.

But when this time came, Zhu Yunxian found that he already had many loyal ministers supporting him.

But there is no treacherous minister who will always stand by him and help him at critical moments.

Just like at this moment, Zhu Yunxian wanted to implement the decree to abolish the old army.

But how to bring this matter to the table is another question, and leave it to his closest subordinates?But looking at his subordinates, there are quite a few loyal ministers.

There are also many ministers who wholeheartedly support him.

But the only thing missing is that there is no one who can pass the message, make it easier for Zhu Yunzhen to do things, or do some inconvenient things for him.

Naturally, it is impossible for someone like Yang Shiqi to do such a thing.

And other nobles who support him, such as Lan Yu, are the ones he wants to punish today.

So Zhu Yunxuan suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a missing person in his court, a traitor!
For the emperor, traitorous ministers are extremely necessary.

Because it is these treacherous ministers who can serve as the emperor's white gloves and do some inconvenient things. After the white gloves turn black, they can just throw them away and replace them with another one.

As long as the treacherous ministers don't take the opportunity to seize power.

A traitorous minister is an extremely useful thing for the emperor.

However, Zhu Yunzhen's past behavior style lacked the soil for the existence of traitors and gave almost no room for traitors to develop.

This led to Zhu Yunzhen trying to get the ministers and officials below to start the matter today.

But no one could be found.

There was no such treacherous minister who knew Zhu Yunxuan's intentions in advance and took the lead in provoking the matter and transferring the matter between the treacherous minister and another minister.

Zhu Yunzhen was just a third party, making a 'fair' decision.

This seems to be the most reasonable.

So only then did Zhu Yunxuan understand why so many emperors were addicted to using traitorous ministers, because often, the emperor also had needs.

The opposite needs of the courtiers.

At this time, the role of the traitor comes into play.

It was originally the emperor's demand, but after the traitor's actions, it naturally became the traitor's appeal. The emperor only lost his ability to judge because he was "temporarily confused by the traitor".

I just mistakenly believed what the traitor said.

It does not damage the emperor's image, and avoids the problem of the emperor personally ending up quarreling with ministers.

"It seems that I still have a lot to learn on this road." Zhu Yunzhen reflected silently.

My own behavior has always been one of hiding nothing from my eyes.

Naturally, there is no soil for the birth of traitors, or even if there are traitors, they dare not reveal them.

Because treacherous ministers tend to cater to their superiors, and Zhu Yunzhen likes to be practical, then the treacherous minister is likely to pretend to be practical.

Zhu Yunzhen is even more difficult to distinguish.

Normally, you still have to pretend to be confused so that the game can go on better.

This is why Game of Thrones is so fascinating.

There are too many things mixed in it.

Even every action has its own meaning. Being lazy may not necessarily mean you are really lazy, and being smart may not mean you are really smart.

Emperor Jiajing and Emperor Chongzhen are two excellent examples.

But now, Zhu Yunzhen was the only one who brought this matter to the table.

"The formation of the new army has been in good shape recently and has formed a considerable combat capability, which has even surpassed that of the old army."

"So I plan to disband part of the old army."

"The amount is around 20. These old troops will be transformed into a centralized and military-managed workforce, and these old troops will be transferred to other jobs with higher wages." "What do you think?"

This is the disadvantage of not having a traitor. These words should have been spoken by a traitor.

Then everyone pointed the finger at this traitor.

You can extract Zhu Yunxuan from this matter, and what you say will be more authoritative and convincing. At the same time, even though everyone knows that you think so, the scope of opposition will be much smaller.

Because officials tend to avoid provoking powerful enemies.

And these traitorous ministers are often like mad dogs, biting anyone they catch.

Naturally, most ministers cannot afford to offend him.

And these treacherous ministers did not bite anyone because they had no brains, but to work harder to please the emperor and form the impression of 'one of their own' in the emperor's mind.

But even without the role of a traitor, Zhu Yunxun could bring up this topic.

Zhu Yunxuan's words also aroused heated discussion among the courtiers.

Eliminating the old army is no small matter!After all, the Ming army is actually not very large, not to mention that there is a big enemy like Bei Yuan around. Is there a problem with disarmament at this time?

Everyone will inevitably be a little worried.

The generals were even more opposed, shaking their heads and remaining silent. They had no choice but to stand up against Zhu Yunzhen openly.

It can be said that if it weren't for Zhu Yunxuan, he would be the great grandson.

If it were any other vassal king, he would have been sprayed long ago!
After all, most of the generals in the court now came from the war years, and they had a deep hatred against Bei Yuan.

I wish I could send troops to the Northern Expedition now.

And if you want to carry out the Northern Expedition, you need enough manpower!Only a few but an army of millions would be able to fight the main force of Beiyuan!
But now Zhu Yunzhen wants to disarm, but the noble generals don't support it, and the people in the Military Affairs Department don't support it!

Even fierce opposition!
Among them, Lan Yu and others stood up, and the group of noble generals headed by them expressed their disagreement with the disarmament.

It was these people who controlled the military power of the Ming Dynasty.

If Zhu Yunzhen wants to use their power, he must first pass them!
Even after the Military Affairs Office was established, its real power was greatly weakened.

But his influence in the military is still unparalleled.

This is far beyond what a name can influence.

After all, they were the founding generals of the country, and they had led countless generals in the army.

"Your Highness, the Ming Dynasty's millions of troops all have their uses."

"To defend the border, it is only because of the millions of troops that the Ming Dynasty is in its present state. We must not cut down the army at will!"

"This move is extremely likely to cause unrest!"

Fu Youde stood up and advised.

And how could Zhu Yunxu not know this?So he has already arranged where these eliminated troops will go, which is to build the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge.

The overall situation is still managed according to the military system of the garrison, and adequate treatment is provided to avoid unrest.

Instead of eliminating these directly.

Then sit back and watch as they have nowhere to go, and eventually turmoil breaks out.

Zhu Yunzhen expressed his thoughts, but he was still blocked again and again, and the methods of dissuasion could be said to be various.

There was even an excuse on the grounds that the soldiers at the guard station were accustomed to farming.

But the most important statement is that Ming Dynasty now needs so many troops to defend the Ming Dynasty.

But after two years of development, the size of the new army has gradually grown.

In this way, the 20 old army can be eliminated, and the original combat strength of the Ming army can be maintained, and even the number will not be much different.

Zhu Yunxu knew that this was because they were afraid that Zhu Yunxu would eliminate these troops.

Continue to eliminate the next batch of troops!

By then, the power in their hands will only be further reduced!
