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

Chapter 87: Old Zhu's Analysis!The other side that I never thought of!
"This person, Lan Yu, has always been very arrogant and domineering before. Many people think that he is born with such a personality. This is a big mistake."

Zhu Yunxi was stunned by the first sentence that Lao Zhu spoke.

Is not it?
As we all know, Sapphire's character is like this.

Arrogant and arrogant.

Thinking that you have great achievements and hard work, you are arrogant.

But Lao Zhu said no, then...

"Do you think he changed his temper and became low-key because you slapped him in the face and gave him a warning?" Lao Zhu asked.

Zhu Yunzhen's face turned slightly red, he really thought so.

At this moment, I heard Lao Zhu talk about it, and it seemed that he had something hidden, so he was a bit self-righteous.

"Sapphire's arrogance is not because of his character, but because the nobles behind him require him to be like this."

Old Zhu said very plainly, but it fell into Zhu Yunxi's ears, but it was astonishing.

He thought he was thoughtful, but he never thought about it in such a deep way.

"The honorable nobles are all those who have made military exploits for the Ming Dynasty to conquer the world. They have their own standards and will never allow any official to override them."

"This is not only the pride in the hearts of these people, but also their fundamental interests."

Old Zhu said: "Lan Yu is arrogant and domineering. It's not because of him personally, but because all the nobles behind him want to be like this."

"Sapphire is their leader. They can only follow after Sapphire demonstrates. If not, they can only behave with their tails between their legs."

"You slapped Lan Yu and scolded Lan Yu angrily."

"Actually, what you hit was not Lan Yu, but all the nobles. What you scolded was not Lan Yu, but all the meritorious officials."

Lao Zhu's voice was very calm and not too loud, but when it fell into Zhu Yunxi's ears, it was like firecrackers exploding one by one.

It exploded so loudly that he was deafened.

"Lan Yu took advantage of the opportunity to stay behind closed doors. It seems that because of being beaten and scolded by you, he suddenly realized that in fact he was just pushing the boat along."

"I just used you as an excuse to change my style and left those honorable men speechless."

Zhu Yunxuan's face was pale, he really didn't think of this.

"Sapphire lowers his posture, and everyone in the entire honor can only be like him."

"That palm of yours seems to have subdued Lan Yu, but in fact it offended all the nobles."

"It's just that they are intimidated by your status as imperial grandson and dare not say it openly."

"This time, the matter of asking you to be appointed as the crown prince was originally provoked by the civil servants, and it is inseparable from the active efforts of the nobles to follow up, which has created such a huge momentum in a very short period of time."

"Of course this has something to do with their intention to support Yunxi, but more importantly, they are already hostile to you, so they can't wait to bring you down."

It was a bit hot, and beads of sweat stood out on Zhu Yunxi's forehead.

Before he knew it, he had offended the entire Xungui Group, but he himself hadn't even noticed it.

The situation in the court was far more complicated than he had imagined.

If it wasn't for Lao Zhu waking up, he wouldn't be aware of it.

"If your father was still alive, he would be able to suppress Sapphire and all the nobles, but you are different."

"Don't think that if you suppress the sapphire, you will suppress all the nobles."

"How can it be so simple!"

"They all have their own interests, how can they be easily suppressed if their interests are violated?"

Old Zhu looked at Zhu Yunxi and said, "You can see that we intend to clean up Lan Yu, so we deliberately reminded him."

"But you didn't see that what we want to clean up is not sapphire, but all the nobles."

"Sapphire, just one of them."

Only then did Zhu Yunxi understand.

If you think about it carefully, there seem to be too many people involved in the blue jade case in history.

Almost all of Daming's capable generals were wiped out.

Just killing one Sapphire doesn't seem to involve so many people.

If Lao Zhu deliberately used the excuse of "Sapphire Rebellion" to kill those nobles and cleanse the entire noble group, it would make sense.

"The boss is dead, and no one will be able to suppress that group of people in the future."

"We originally planned to clean up everything. We will recite the infamy of the massacre hero and not leave it to future generations."

"But we don't seem to want to do that. Tell me, what are you going to do?"

"You are the crown prince now, this Great Ming Dynasty will be handed over to you sooner or later, we will listen to you."

"However, we have to remind you, if you don't kill, then what you want to subdue is not a blue jade."

"What you want to subdue is all the nobles."

"Sapphire is easy to subdue, but it is difficult to subdue all the nobles."

"You are not very old, and you have never fought with them before. How easy is it to subdue them all?"

"The easiest way is for us to take action and kill them all!"

"Leave you a clean Daming country that no one can restrict."

"What do you think?"

A murderous look appeared on Lao Zhu's face.

Zhu Yunxi stood on the ground dumbfounded.

He really didn't think of this layer.

It wasn't until Lao Zhu reminded me that things were not as simple as I thought.

Is it really only possible to kill them all?

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Lao Zhu.

He understood that Lao Zhu had been planning this matter for many days.

It should be when Zhu Biao just died, he was thinking about it.

There must be a comprehensive plan now.

As long as he nodded, Lao Zhu could move quickly.

If you want to add a crime, why don't you have any trouble?
If you want to kill those nobles, you can always find a reason.

but.

Is there really only one way to kill?
These people can be considered to have made great military exploits for Daming, why must they be killed?
Although Zhu Yunxi understands that if he does not kill them, he must try to subdue them, otherwise, there will be endless troubles.

But he instinctively resented such a large-scale killing.

Especially when these people have no major faults.

"Grandpa Huang, your grandson still thinks that there is no need to kill indiscriminately?"

"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly surprised and looked at Zhu Yunxi.

In the past, he felt that Zhu Yunxi was too soft-hearted and forced him to kill people.

But after dealing with the descendants of the Pu family in Quanzhou, Lao Zhu also knew that Zhu Yunxi had already been reborn, and he was no longer as fearful as before.

"Then what good way do you have to conquer them without killing them?" Lao Zhu asked.

Zhu Yunzhen had a plan in his mind and immediately said: "Grandpa Huang has seen the flintlock gun I made. My grandson wants to use it as a basis to train the new army."

When he said this, he felt a little uneasy.

The system must match the progress of the scientific system.

This point is very important.

Therefore, after the Opium War in later generations, the Qing Dynasty introduced Western guns and cannons, but it still failed to change the situation of backward military strength.

So much so that in the Sino-Japanese War, it showed its original shape.

After this, the Qing Dynasty began to train new troops, which became the beginning of the modernization of the army.

Although the new army later evolved into a Beiyang warlord and became the gravedigger of the Qing Dynasty.

But in all honesty, the combat power of the new army is not comparable to that of the old army.

At that time, the newly trained new army could hang up and fight other armies of the Qing Dynasty at will.

It can even be said to be worlds apart.

In Zhu Yunxi's mind, he already had a blueprint.

Since he came to take charge of Daming, he must let Daming be at the forefront of the times.

The era of great voyages is approaching, and Daming wants to be one step ahead.

At this time, it is very important to reform the military system.

Otherwise, even with the most advanced flintlock guns, they would not be able to exert their true power with the current old guard army of Ming Dynasty.

The new army must be reorganized and retrained to become the mainstay of the Ming army.

In this way, naturally there is no need to kill those military generals and distinguished officials.

But what makes Zhu Yunxi uneasy is that the military system of Ming Dynasty was formulated by Lao Zhu alone.

There is nothing to say about Lao Zhu's ability.

The guard system he formulated uses farming to support warfare, and the imperial court hardly needs to spend any money to support the army, and can build a huge army.

This has its advanced and powerful side.

It can even be said to be a genius idea.

In the Ming Dynasty, even though the guards in the later period were declining day by day, they barely took up the responsibility of guarding the Ming Dynasty.

Otherwise, Ming Dynasty would not have had Guozuo for more than 200 years.

Lao Zhu is also a very stubborn person, and he will not easily change the things he decides on based on other people's opinions.

The Weisuo system was established by Lao Zhu.

Now it is suggested to train the new army, will Lao Zhu agree?

Will it make you angry?

Zhu Yunxi didn't have a bottom line in his heart, so he felt uneasy.

However, to his surprise, Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry.

Instead, with a very interested attitude, he asked: "Tell me, how are you going to train the new army?"

Seeing that Lao Zhu was not angry, Zhu Yunxi's heart was more than half settled.

"We need to start from two aspects. One is the innovation of weapons. The flintlock gun still has a lot of room for transformation and can be further transformed."

"This requires the establishment of new workshops to improve firearms, such as making fixed-loading ammunition, converting it into a breech-loading gun, and if possible, even improving the barrel and making a rifled gun."

He had already made up his mind and said it immediately.

Lao Zhu obviously didn't understand these terms at all, and his face showed confusion.

But with a hint of admiration.

What Zhu Yunxi had done before and the flintlock gun he made had greatly shocked Lao Zhu, and he also had great trust in his talent in this area.

"Well, what about the second aspect?" Old Zhu asked.

Zhu Yunxi also understood that he definitely didn't understand how to make and modify guns when he was talking to Lao Zhu at this time, and the key point was to talk about military system and training.

"The second is the change of the military system, the change of military training, and the shaping of military thinking."

He said: "Grandson wants to build a special military school to train new officers."

"At the same time, it also teaches them how to train new troops and how to lead troops to fight."

The Whampoa Military Academy of later generations was extremely successful, at least in the cultivation of early military talents.

Otherwise, it would not be possible to defeat the Beiyang warlords and win the Northern Expedition based on student soldiers.

Now that Zhu Yunxi wanted to build a new army, his first thought was to build a military school.

On the one hand, this is the need to train military personnel.

On the other hand, once such a school is established, he can also logically train a large number of direct line officers who are loyal to him, thus firmly controlling the army.

These are different from making guns, and Lao Zhu understood it as soon as he heard it.

He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's a good idea to establish a special military school."

"If it's possible, it would be best for you to be the head of this school."

"It's just, Xi'er, do you know how to train soldiers and fight?"

Old Zhu asked with a smile.

Leading troops to fight is no different than writing poems and lyrics. Zhu Yunxi is still a child and has never experienced in the battlefield. How could he understand these things?

Therefore, Lao Zhu questioned it.

Zhu Yunxi scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "Grandpa Huang, I still know a little bit about training and fighting."
