"Sun'er believes that for the Ming Dynasty to be strong, in addition to official governance, it must also have strong military strength."
"The dignity of a country only lies on the edge of the sword."
"The truth is within the range of our artillery."
"Only when our Ming Dynasty has a strong military strength can the people live and work in peace and contentment and do whatever they want."
"On the other hand, for example, the Japanese country can only be humble and servile in front of the emperor. This is the consequence of weak strength. The military is very important to the Ming Dynasty and must not be weakened by civilian officials. On the contrary, we must continue to develop."
Zhu Xuan continued.
The entire Ming Dynasty was fought by Lao Zhu himself. The founding emperor often valued military strength the most. After listening to Zhu Xuan's words, he felt the same.
If the military of the Ming Dynasty was not strong and was as weak as the Song Dynasty, how could the people have any dignity at all?
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was the stupidest thing to do to hide the military front and weaken the military. Ming Dynasty must show its strength and intimidate Xiaoxiao. Not only must the officialdom be better and better, the country must be richer and richer, and the external military must also be stronger and stronger.
"My dear grandson said everything very well."
Zhu Yuanzhang said with appreciation.
Zhu Xuan added: "My grandson just says whatever comes to his mind."
However, the current situation of the Ming Dynasty was indeed gradually changed by him. The military strength became stronger and stronger, farming and commerce were also slowly changing, and the Ming Dynasty became more and more prosperous.
The Ming army is not satisfied with its pay, but it is invincible if it is fully paid.
Zhu Xuan is also working hard to change this situation, develop agriculture, carry out commerce, and rectify the government in the future to change the situation of not even having enough to eat in the late Ming Dynasty, but this idea has a long way to go.
It’s not that easy to put it into practice.
The changes in Ming Dynasty could not be achieved overnight.
"Actually, it was my grandson who reminded Liang Guogong, and he admitted his mistake so simply today." Zhu Xuan added.
"oh?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised when he heard this: "Why?"
Zhu Xuan said: "My grandson knows the emperor's thoughts very well. If the emperor's heir cannot suppress the Huaixi generals, or the Huaixi generals are unwilling to be used by the heirs, they must all be killed before they can rest assured. They are all heroes of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty shed blood, and my grandson doesn’t want them to die like this. And most of the generals are old. In fact, except for Liang Guogong, who is old and strong, the others are not very active. I want to give them a chance to enjoy their old age."
If Lan Yu jumps again, Zhu Yuanzhang really wants to kill him.
My thoughts were all guessed correctly by my little darling grandson.
"My dear grandson understands us best!"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "My dear grandson, are you confident that you can suppress Lan Yu and others?"
The meaning of this sentence is also very obvious. The person who will overpower the Huaixi generals in the future is Zhu Xuan.
Then the heir is Zhu Xuan.
"If Grandpa Huang can do it, of course my grandson can do it too."
Zhu Xuan said confidently: "My grandson was taught by Grandpa Huang himself, and he will never disgrace Grandpa Huang."
"well said!"
Zhu Yuanzhang just admired the confidence of his little good grandson, and laughed and said: "Then we will leave them to our good grandson."
Among the old Huaixi military generals, except Lan Yu, they are indeed still active. The others have gradually retired in the past few years and gone home to take care of their grandchildren.
After all, he is old.
Not everyone can be like the blue jade old man. The older he gets, the more energetic he becomes.
The war gets harder.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang can feel at ease with Lan Yu guarding his side. This is one of the reasons why he has always been tolerant of Lan Yu.
"My grandson has another idea."
Zhu Xuan said again.
"My dear grandson, just say whatever comes to mind. It doesn't matter if you say something wrong. We can help correct it."
Zhu Yuanzhang said dotingly.
Zhu Xuan paused while squeezing Lao Zhu's shoulder, sat back next to Lao Zhu, and said: "My grandson feels that the veterans who accompanied the emperor's grandfather to conquer the world are all old. After these people are replaced, there will be fewer people in the court." Generals who can shoulder heavy responsibilities, newly promoted military generals, such as my grandson's eldest cousin Li Jinglong, have basically never been on the battlefield, how will they defend the Ming Dynasty in the future?"
Zhu Yuanzhang gradually understood what Zhu Xuan meant and asked, "Do you want to throw all the younger generation of military generals, or the descendants of those old guys in Huaixi, to the battlefield for training?"
"exactly."
Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "If the safety of our Ming Dynasty falls on those generals who have never even been on the battlefield, the emperor will not be able to feel at ease. It just so happens that the emperor asked Duke Liang to reflect at home and can arrange for others to replace Duke Liang. , and then send the general to the border."
"That makes sense!"
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he suddenly thought of a lot more.
This can not only continuously train other generals, but also weaken Lan Yu's status in the army, making it easier to knock Lan Yu away.
So that the people in Huaixi will no longer be so arrogant and self-reliant.
"But if Lan Yu is removed, who can take Lan Yu's place?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.
It is impossible for the new generation of generals to lead the war as generals as soon as they arrive in the northern border.
Zhu Xuan suggested: "The emperor's grandfather has an adopted son, Ping An, and his grandson thinks it is feasible."
"Ping Bao'er?"
A familiar face appeared in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.
His father Ping Ding died in battle when he followed Chang Yuchun to attack Dadu. Later, Ping Ping was adopted as his adopted son by Zhu Yuanzhang and inherited his father's position. He served as the commander of Miyun and the right governor of the army, and he had certain military strength.
"Pingbao'er is feasible."
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and agreed: "The person recommended by Guaisun is good. We will give Ping Baoer the imperial edict later. As for Lan Yu, let him stay at home and make arrangements when we are in a better mood."
In this way, the future military arrangements and layout were determined.
Lao Zhu's mood improved.
"Grandpa Huang, my grandson came to see you today for another matter."
Zhu Xuan continued: "It's about the second brother. The second brother's health is getting better. My grandson still wants to..."
He told Zhu Yuanzhang about his plan.
"Really?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked happily.
The eldest grandson is fine. He can be regarded as worthy of Biao'er, sister, and the girl from the Chang family.
"real."
Zhu Xuan affirmed: "Please cooperate with Grandpa Huang. If there is really a problem, it can be revealed today."
"good!"
A cold light flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes. At this moment, he wanted to kill someone again, and said coldly: "We will cooperate with you."
Dare to deceive him and coerce his own grandson.
Lao Zhu absolutely cannot bear it.
Unless they kill a group of people, those White Lotus Sect will not know whether to live or die.
——
Xuan Yueze has been restless recently.
There is always a feeling that the mother worm is about to be discovered.
Once the female insect is discovered or even taken out, the impact on him will be fatal. After all, Zhu Xuan still underestimated Zhu Xuan's ability.
Xuanyueze even thought about running away from Yingtian.
But he also knew that the Jin Yiwei people were definitely always watching him. If he dared to have the idea of running away, the Jin Yiwei would first teach him how to behave, and then twist the person to Zhu Yuanzhang.
That would lead to a worse death.
"How to do it?"
While Xuan Yueze was struggling and uneasy, a voice came in.
"Your Majesty has called..."
A eunuch from the Pedestrian Department led several guards in royal robes and broke in through the door.
Xuan Yueze's heart suddenly sank when he saw it, and he felt even more uneasy.
