In the capital and the palace, Zhu Youjian finally waited for the person he needed to wait for.
Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting and Mangui.
Although Zhu Youjian's historical knowledge has long been returned, he still knows that these three people can be said to be capable generals who are truly loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
You can use it with confidence.
Because what Zhu Youjian asked the three of them to do will inevitably touch the interests of many people.
In order to ensure that their relatives would not be retaliated against, they came slower.
"Report, General Zhu Dinghai has sent purple information, please check it." A secret guard directly opened the door of Longevity Palace to report.
"Bring it over." Zhu Youjian ordered directly without thinking.
In order to effectively solve the problem, Zhu Youjian divided the information delivered by the secret guards into seven levels: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple, with red being the lowest level and purple being the highest.
"What a pity. You said that you, Fan Wencheng, are not a good person. Why do you want to be a traitor?"
"Send the order and immediately summon Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting and Mangui to see you."
....
"Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting and Mangui, who are of humble rank, are here to see Your Majesty."
"The humble position is full of glory, and I see your majesty."
Cao Min, Sun Chuanting, see Your Majesty. "
"Flat body, give me a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"My dear, are you a Mongolian?"
Looking at Man Gui with thick eyebrows and big eyes in front of him, Zhu Youjian asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, I am a serious Han Chinese."
Mangui explained. His appearance is often mistaken for a Mongolian.
"I heard that you originally had a Mongolian cavalry team. I wonder if you can go out and recruit a cavalry team of ten thousand people for the Ming Dynasty?"
Although I really don't want to admit it, the Mongolians' riding and shooting abilities are indeed much stronger than those of the Han people. Even for soldiers who have undergone rigorous training, there is still a certain gap.
Although the cavalry and archery of the Jiannu were not as good as those of the Mongols, they were far superior to those of the Han.
Although the elite of Jiannu are armored infantry, Jiannu who are not short of horses can use the armored infantry as cavalry when marching to achieve rapid movement.
Although Zhu Youjian is not afraid of Jiannu, and even does not take Jiannu seriously because he owns the LEFH18 howitzer, Zhu Youjian cannot consider the super mobility of the cavalry.
Throughout the ages, why did the Han Dynasty waste huge manpower and material resources to build a long defense system, and why did the Ming Dynasty build the Great Wall?
Wasn't it forced by the nomadic cavalry?
The high mobility of the cavalry, coupled with the ability to plunder on the spot, means that without the construction of city walls, it is impossible for the border to be peaceful.
Throughout the ages, when the Han dynasty was strong, they wanted to eliminate the nomads more than once. Even the Ming Dynasty and Ming Chengzu conquered Mongolia more than once, but with little effect.
The ultimate reason is the super mobility of the nomads.
If I can't beat you, I can run away. If I have the ability, I can chase you. If I chase you too far, how can I ensure the safety of the food road?
This resulted in the Han Dynasty often being able to defeat the nomads in wars, but it was indeed difficult to severely damage or completely destroy them.
This time Zhu Youjian was ready to use Jurchen to establish his authority. How can we establish our authority if all the opponent's troops are allowed to escape?
Therefore, a powerful cavalry is a must. Ever since he learned that Slam looked a bit like a Mongolian and had a 3,000-man Mongolian cavalry in his hand, Zhu Youjian became more active.
"Your Majesty, as long as you have money and food, recruiting Mongolians will not be a problem. I wonder how many Mongolians your Majesty plans to recruit?"
"10,000, I need 10,000 Mongolian cavalry, and they must reach the point of prohibition within half a year. Can you do it?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I can definitely complete the task with a lowly position. The Mongols are very poor, but they also admire the strong. As long as the money and food are in place, and we defeat them one by one, Baozheng can train 10,000 forbidden cavalry in half a year." .”
Mangui promised, patting her chest.
When it comes to understanding the Mongols, within the Ming Dynasty, Mangui ranked second, and no one dared to compete for the first place.
"These two are my secret guards of the Ming Dynasty. They have the right to write to me directly. If anyone dares to deduct military pay, you can directly ask these two people to report to me."
"This" Man Gui looked a little embarrassed.
Isn't this the supervisory army? It's okay if you have the ability, but if you don't have the ability, you have to trick yourself to death.
"Don't worry, these two people are only responsible for distributing military pay. They will not participate in training and fighting. If you dare to go overboard, you can just tie them up and send them back to the capital..." It seems that Man Gui has noticed. Zhu Youjian hurriedly explained what was on his mind.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mangui hurriedly handed over his hands to thank him. When marching and fighting, the most feared thing is to withhold military pay and supervise the army to make random commands.
Now that your majesty has solved both of them, Mangui is naturally happy without any hesitation.
"It's better to go to the grasslands to recruit soldiers sooner rather than later. Once Liaodong is conquered, we will reward you for your merits."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, what do you two think of the current Ming Dynasty?"
"The Ming Dynasty... the country is rich and the people are strong." Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting said after looking at each other.
"Hmph, to be honest. I'm not blind. I still know what's going on inside and outside."
As he spoke, Zhu Youjian threw a memorial in front of the two people.
Zhu Youjian was slightly unhappy with the performance of the two people.
With the two major surveillance systems of Jin Yiwei and Secret Guard in hand, he has a relatively good understanding of the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty.
He originally thought that Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting could not tell nonsense even if they did not tell the truth.
Unexpectedly, the two of them could actually tell lies with their eyes open.
The country is rich and the people are strong, pah, the national treasury is so empty that it can run a horse-drawn carriage, but the people can barely survive in the whole year. Except for the holidays, having a full meal is a luxury. Is the country rich and the people are strong?
"Your Majesty, please atone for the sin of humiliating the emperor by humble position. This statement is true. The people are indeed overtaxed. I sincerely request your majesty to reduce taxes for the sake of the people of the world."
"Your Majesty, the eunuchs have caused chaos in the imperial court. I sincerely request your majesty to please return all parties to the capital for the sake of the people of the world."
After Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuantingzi read the memorial thrown by Zhu Youjian, they knelt down and begged.
"I know the people are suffering, but tax reductions and exemptions are not enough right now.
Lu Xiangsheng listened to the order, now I appoint you as the governor of Shanxi. You have the power to kill corrupt officials first and then punish them. After you take office, you will immediately form a strong army of 20,000 people. When the strong force is completed, it will be the time when the people's taxes will be reduced. "
"Sun Chuanting listened to the order and now appoints you as the governor of Shaanxi. You have the power to kill corrupt officials first and then punish them. After you take office, you will immediately form a strong army of 50,000 people. A thorough investigation of the corrupt officials in Shaanxi and the return of all parties to the capital will be carried out in the future. Say it again.
Remember, if there is anything missing, ask the secret guards around you to tell me, I will find a way to solve it, Shaanxi must not be chaotic,"
Historically, under the dual influence of natural disasters and dog officials, the Ming peasant uprising originated in Shaanxi and eventually swept across the country. Zhu Youjian did not want the same thing to happen.
For appointing the eunuch party, Emperor Chongzhen's reputation is indeed not very good in local areas, especially in Jiangnan and other places where the Donglin Party is located.
But Zhu Youjian has enough things to do now, and he really doesn't want to compete with those chattering gentlemen.
