Wanli 1592

Chapter 962
That's what Xiao Ruxun meant, of course, in order to give the military generals a way out, so that they don't always worry that they will be settled by Qiu Hou.

This is very important.

"That's right, that's my purpose. To find a reliable way out for the military generals in the world, so that they won't be forced to hold on to military power for the sake of future generations, and it can also ease the court's concerns about leading military generals. I hope that through Set up a military academy to achieve the goal of a strong army and alleviating suspicion.

You are all experienced generals. When you are unable to continue galloping on the battlefield, your experience and skills should be passed on to more people, so that more outstanding young people can learn from you.

In order to cultivate more excellent officers for the Qin army, inherit your experience and ability, and ensure the army's combat effectiveness as always, instead of being like the army of the previous Ming Dynasty, a pile of mud that can't support the wall. Not as good as a generation. "

Xiao Ruxun finished speaking, leaving a gap for the generals to slowly find themselves amidst the shock.

Let them experience the emperor's good intentions in shock, the love and care of their marshal for them, and the happiness bathed by the emperor's grace.

After that, Xiao Ruxun also promised to set up a staff headquarters to take charge of military planning.

Xiao Ruxun intends to use the staff headquarters to cut off the possibility of civil servants' involvement in military power, separate the civil servants from the staff officers, and realize the pure administrativeization of the civil officials. From now on, the emperor will only discuss military affairs with the staff officers and generals, and the civil service department is not allowed to participate in it.

All departments and official positions related to the army are all taken up by soldiers. For this reason, Xiao Ruxun also proposed the concept of "civilian officers", that is, soldiers who do not go to the front to fight, although they do not fight, they belong to the military system and have military positions. It is not a civil servant, which greatly improves the overall quality of the army.

He wants to introduce the concept of professional soldiers and establish a full-time military command system. After the virtualization of the Five Armed Forces Governor's Mansion, the entire Ming Dynasty's millions of troops did not have a real command system. This is a terrible thing.

No matter where a war occurs, Xiao Ruxun needs an efficient central military command system to deal with it, and make the most correct choice as quickly as possible.

All in all, through various designs to prevent the possibility of civil servants getting involved in military power again, civilian officials are absolutely not allowed to participate in the military, and professional people do professional things. The situation in the late Song and Ming dynasties cannot be repeated.

At the same time, this design also reversely limits the relationship between the army and the administration, which can effectively prevent generals from intervening in politics.

It is impossible for Xiao Ruxun to suppress civilian officials and promote military officials without limit, or even allow soldiers to bully and suppress civilian officials. In this case, even if they cannot go back to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, they will fall into the quagmire of corruption.

It is necessary to make the military and administration two separate systems.

For generals who have never been exposed to such information, what Xiao Ruxun said is undoubtedly novel and never imagined, whether it is for overseas development or the establishment of military schools or staff headquarters, etc.

These should be part of Xiao Ruxun's plan, and for the generals, it's a matter of getting close to the water.

They can be the first to learn about this kind of thing, and they can also be the first to respond.

This is a kind of benefit, a kind of hidden benefit that will benefit people endlessly.

"In the early stage, I will follow the old system of the former Ming Dynasty to appease people's hearts, and give some positions to the former Ming and old ministers, maybe even above you, but you don't want to have any violent reactions. Right now, everything is about stability, understand?"

Xiao Ruxun once again told his generals.

The generals looked at each other and nodded together.

Before leaving, Xiao Ruxun specially asked Li Rusong: "Zimao, don't let me down."

Li Rusong paused, then immediately turned around and knelt down in front of Xiao Ruxun.

"The last general will never let His Majesty down!"

Xiao Ruxun nodded.

He believed that Li Rusong would make the wisest choice, because Li Rusong was the one in the entire Li family who knew him best and understood his means the most, and Li Chengliang, as an old fritter, had become instinctive to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and the situation was stronger than others. They make the right choice.

Of course, this is just Xiao Ruxun's opinion. Sometimes Xiao Ruxun's judgment on himself is not so sure, so someone needs to help him make sure.

Moreover, the Chinese people's nostalgia and possessiveness for the land cannot be dismissed easily with a few words. He has made such a big determination to destroy the gentry, how can he let the new gentry be born in his own land? under the nose?
Xiao Ruxun had to make two-handed preparations for the future.

In any case, for whatever purpose, he has become a de facto revolutionary, a so-called revolutionary who not only dares to kill others, but also dares to lay hands on himself.

He called Zhou Yao and five managers of Hei Zhen.

"Zixian, in addition to monitoring those people on the blacklist, we also need to increase the monitoring of Li Rusong. Earlier, I sent some people from Heishui to Liaodong to establish an intelligence network. Now the command of these people is also entrusted to you. Once Something is wrong, and I want you to nip the crisis in the bud."

Zhou Yao nodded immediately: "This subordinate understands!"

"All the generals in the Northwest will be under surveillance except for Wang Hui and Ma Wei. You have to secretly contact Wang Hui and Ma Wei and let them prepare first. I will arrange reliable personnel to prepare mobile soldiers and horses for secret dispatch. If there is any wrongdoing, take it down immediately, and kill the chickens to make an example to the monkeys!"

"As ordered!"

"Well, what's more, how are Zhu Changluo and Empress Dowager Ming doing now?"

"Zhu Changluo has been placed under house arrest in secret, and there is a special person to take care of the materials. Whenever His Majesty needs it, the minister can arrange it immediately. On the Empress Dowager's side, the minister sent people to block the entrance and exit, but the inside cannot be entered. The Empress Dowager sent someone to send a message. If we forced our way in, she would hang herself."

"Suicide by hanging?"

Xiao Ruxun sneered coldly: "It's true that Xiao He is successful and Xiao He is defeated. This old lady is also true. It's fine if she doesn't help her son, but she's a hindrance. Those who don't know think it's Cixi."

"Cixi?"

"shut up."

Xiao Ruxun waved his hand: "Let's go, go and see this old lady."

"Now?"

Zhou Yao was puzzled.

"Of course, I didn't sleep. How could that old lady fall asleep? Let's go and see her! With her in hand, we can accomplish some things smoothly. Zhu Changluo is too young to be an adult, so it's okay to go out and see her." It sounds good, understand?"

Zhou Yao suddenly realized.

Xiao Ruxun came to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the gate of the palace was open, there were guards guarding outside the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and they all saluted after seeing Xiao Ruxun.

There was an elderly eunuch standing at the gate of the palace. When he saw a group of people surrounded by Xiao Ruxun, he became nervous, his legs were trembling.

"Is he the one who sent the message?"

Xiao Ruxun asked Zhou Yao.

Zhou Yao nodded.

"It's him, the steward of the Empress Dowager Ming."

"Go and tell the Empress Dowager Ming that Xiao Ruxun is visiting. I wonder if I can see you?"

The old eunuch was shocked when he heard this.

"Xiao... Xiao... Xiao..."

The words are all useless.

Xiao Ruxun scratched her cheek a little depressed.

"I'm not here to kill people, what are you afraid of? Go and tell the Empress Dowager Ming!"

The old eunuch was stunned for a moment, then he was so frightened that he ran in as fast as he could.

After a while, a younger servant ran out and said tremblingly, "The queen mother said it was getting late, so I can't see you."

"If she doesn't see me, I will order the inner palace to be plundered, and life and death will be at stake."

Xiao Ruxun didn't intend to waste time talking nonsense with her, his time was very precious.

From this moment on, his time will be counted in seconds, and he will not waste even a second.

The little servant was frightened and ran inside quickly, and then came back quickly.

"The empress dowager please..."

"Wouldn't it be better to do this earlier? Lead the way ahead!"

The little servant was driven to lead the way, and a group of guards surrounded Xiao Ruxun to the main hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace. There was no one around the main hall, and they either ran or hid.

Zhou Yao also reported that no one was found in several palaces in the palace before. Not only were there no eunuchs and maids, but even the owner of the palace was not there. He ran somewhere to hide.

The most likely place is of course Queen Mother Li.
