Chapter 971 He needs a strong cavalry
After hearing Xu Hongji's words, Zhu Yinghuai curled her lips and said in a low voice: "Tell me, will there be rebellion when it is spread to the world this time? Will the vassal kings and clans in those places rebel?"

Xu Hongji looked at Zhu Yinghuai in surprise: "What are you thinking about? Does it have something to do with us? The most important thing for us now is to thank guests behind closed doors and not interact with anyone. If His Majesty orders us, we will go to the palace. If His Majesty does not order us, we will stay in the palace." Enjoy the happiness at home, don't think about other things."

"I'm just worried that someone will rebel."

Zhu Yinghuai said in a low voice: "After all, there are still many places in the region that have not been attacked by the army. If they are really going to rebel, aren't they going to fight again?"

"The words of good things have nothing to do with us."

Xu Hongji shook his head again and again: "I only care about whether my life is good or not. I don't care about anything else. If you care, you can go to the palace and ask His Majesty."

Zhu Yinghuai shrank her head: "The palace is full of heat right now, I don't dare to go in, it's my fault if I delay someone else's business."

Zhu Yinghuai is absolutely unwilling to hang around in the palace now, because the palace is really very, very busy now, while someone is assigned to the palace to start repairing the palace complex, while work is going on in full swing.

Basically, some of the original officials of the Ming court were reactivated by Xiao Ruxun, and the clerks he brought out were arranged to serve as deputies to accumulate experience, mainly relying on the original administrative team.

Of course, those mad dogs Yu Shi Qingliu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were all thrown at home by Xiao Ruxun and they were not allowed to come out to make trouble. A specialized department for official crimes, similar to a department such as the ICAC.

The method of restraining officials through morality and rhetoric has proved to be very noisy. Xiao Ruxun really hates this kind of guy who knows nothing but rhetoric. Their existence will only drag down administrative efficiency. One, go to hell with all the officials!
After repelling the officials, many ex-Ming and old ministers felt that they were much more relaxed, and their administrative efficiency was also improved. All in all, it won't make people mess up.

The previous fierce party struggles have died down after the high pressure of Shen Yiguan's period and the reshuffle of Xiao Ruxun's period. Whether it will resume in the future depends mainly on the emperor. In fact, party struggles are often driven by the emperor behind the scenes.

Xiao Ruxun had a very deep understanding of this point.

For a month, leading the ministers to work day and night with high intensity, dealing with government affairs day and night, the capital's local government affairs and military affairs, etc., made him dizzy, but it was indeed a sense of accomplishment and Satisfaction, watching one thing after another is being dealt with and put into practice is indeed very interesting.

But there is also one point. When watching the very constructive administrative strategies put forward by the experienced Wang Xijue and Li Tingji being passed and adopted continuously, Xiao Ruxun always felt that Where is the disharmony.

Well, it's discordant without quarrels, discordant without arguments, and discordant without blowing beards and staring eyes.

That is to say, right now, if this situation still occurs after the world is settled, Xiao Ruxun will definitely take action to split the officials, because for the emperor, if the officials do not fight but unite instead, then the emperor will feel very insecure .

He now felt more and more that he had made a mistake in the past.

Zhu Yijun's struggle for the foundation of the country may not be to compete with the officials for the supremacy of the world, but to use Zhu Changluo and Zhu Changxun to split the officials.

Throwing two baits in an attempt to split the group of officials into a sub-party and a Fuwang party, opposing each other and arguing with each other, so as to achieve the effect of severe party struggles in the Jiajing era, so as to achieve the goal of fishing in troubled waters to seize power.

At the beginning, Emperor Jiajing split the group of officials through the big ceremony, and played with the group of officials for decades, and Zhu Yijun respected his grandfather the most. He is very likely to learn from Zhu Houcong's method and come to a copycat version The great ritual dispute.

But that was really a copycat, and the officials learned to be obedient, they ignored the bait thrown by Zhu Yijun at all, and stood unswervingly on the side of the eldest son of the emperor, standing on the righteous name to make Zhu Yijun advance or retreat.

Does Zhu Yijun really want to establish a prince so soon?
Probably not, Xiao Ruxun felt that if Zhu Yijun really wanted to make Zhu Changxun the crown prince, there was no other way. The eldest son of the emperor is annoyed by the fact that the crown prince is not split.

Why did Grandpa Huang use such a smooth method to get to me but it didn't work?
Zhu Yijun may have thought about this question.

This may be the real purpose of the national struggle. The quarrel is that the emperor wants to divide the officials, so he can't shoot himself in the foot, and retaliates against the officials by passive sabotage. The Ming Dynasty suffered a lot.

This shows how important the emperor's sense of security is.

"When the generals in the northwest return to the court, they can arrange for the Minister of War to go out of the city to welcome them. His Majesty will host a banquet in the palace to entertain the generals, and then bestow titles and rewards to the army. This will stabilize the morale of the army. Whether the Nine Sides will continue to maintain it depends on the situation." His Majesty's meaning."

Wang Xijue made his own suggestion on the Northwest generals' return to the court, and then asked Xiao Ruxun to make a decision.

Of course, rewards and the like are not a problem, and the transitional maintenance of the nine sides is also necessary. More importantly, Xiao Ruxun needs to build a powerful cavalry unit to launch a second full-scale attack on the northern grassland.

A year ago, he wiped out 30 northern captives, and built dozens of Jingguan along the section of the Great Wall in Datong. He used such a cruel method to deter the northern captives, causing the surrounding northern captives to either flee east or west, all frightened. This has also won valuable external conditions for Xiao Ruxun's peaceful development today.

During this period of time, he had no external enemies, the Japanese kingdom was split in half, Nanyang was occupied by him, the countries in Southeast Asia surrendered one after another, and the northern captives were beaten to death. Now this opportunity is a great opportunity to develop oneself, seize this opportunity It is Xiao Ruxun's basic national policy to focus on development at the right time.

But that doesn't mean there won't be wars.

In order to seize the grassland as a horse breeding ground, broaden the strategic depth of the capital, and conquer Liaodong, he needed an extremely powerful cavalry.

After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he once planned to completely eliminate Beiyuan and take down Lingbei Province, the last province of Beiyuan. For this reason, he let out all the famous generals and sent Xu Dalanyu Feng Sheng and others to lead 15 cavalry in the Northern Expedition in the fifth year of Hongwu. In Lingbei, a decisive battle with Wang Baobao resulted in a disastrous defeat.

The Mongolian war horses inherited by the Ming army from the Han Dynasty were completely lost, and they lost the ability to strategically attack in a short period of time, and also lost the opportunity to incorporate Lingbei. From then on, Zhu Yuanzhang had to adopt a relative defensive position instead of maintaining a strategic offensive.

But right now, for Xiao Ruxun, war horses are still a problem.

In this era, tanks and other chariots were never even thought about, and the importance of cavalry was still irreplaceable. If one wanted to compete on the grasslands, it was impossible without a strong cavalry.

But Xiao Ruxun really didn't have too many cavalry right now, and more importantly, he didn't have too many war horses.
