Chapter 179 Taizu’s legacy
After all, for Fu Youde, even if he promoted Sheng Yong. But Sheng Yong is not named Fu after all. It was fine when he was alive, but when he died. How could I have the same heart as Fu?
Not to mention the heart-wrenching pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person away, which is simply hard to control.
Just when the father and daughter were crying relative to each other. Suddenly, an announcement came from outside: "Your Majesty has arrived."
Fu Youde and Empress Fu stood up together and saluted without saying anything.
Zhu Yunwen's face was expressionless before entering the palace, but as soon as he entered the palace, his face was smiling. When he walked, he looked graceful and luxurious, making people feel like he was taking a shower of spring breeze.
Zhu Yunwen stepped forward and helped Empress Fu up. Said: "You are already a heavy person. Why are you still saluting like this? What should I do if I shock the child?"
After placing Empress Fu in place, she helped Fu Youde up and said, "Father-in-law, you are neglecting me."
Fu Youde said: "Your Majesty is serious, I didn't expect the queen to be pregnant. Why didn't you write to me and tell me."
Zhu Yunwen said: "The child is still young. If the news spreads at this time, I'm afraid it won't be safe. In a month or two, it will naturally be announced to the world."
The child Queen Fu is also very important to Zhu Yunwen.
After all, it is very important for the emperor to have successors.
Especially at this time when the north and the south are fighting, Zhu Yunwen can stabilize people's hearts if he has someone to succeed him.
The child Queen Fu is also important to Fu Youde. After all, Zhu Yunwen was just the son-in-law of the Fu family, and there was no Fu family blood in his body. The prince born to Queen Fu has the blood of the Fu family in his body.
Not to mention, the prince born to Queen Fu is Zhu Yunwen's eldest son, the future prince.
Fu Youde said: "Queen, why didn't you tell me about this? From now on, having a good child and maintaining your body is the top priority."
Empress Fu immediately said: "My daughter knows." She is also very knowledgeable. I know that Fu Youde's request to see the emperor was rejected this time. Now the emperor comes. Naturally, the father and the emperor had something to talk about.
He immediately went out and said he was buying food and drinks, but actually left the two of them to talk.
After all, there are so many queens. How could it be the queen's turn to buy food and drinks in person?
This is also the wisdom of the queen. Although she is the daughter of the Fu family and the queen of the Zhu family, it is difficult for her to handle when these two positions conflict. Her last resort was to not get involved and wait until the last moment before taking action, which might save the blood of the Fu family.
Of course, she hopes to create some opportunities for both parties to resolve their differences.
The happy cooperation between the Fu family and the royal family is Empress Fu's greatest luck and the greatest guarantee for her son to ascend the throne.
Empress Fu sighed after leaving the main hall of Kunning Palace.
In Kunning Palace.
Fu Youde couldn't hold back his anger. He said: "Your Majesty, I am already in my twilight years and should be enjoying my old age. However, my son was killed in the Japanese war and I have a deep grudge against the Northern bandits. If I don't avenge this hatred, I will be a father. Please give me another chance." Allow me to continue to command the troops, carry out military reforms, and quell the chaos in the north for Your Majesty."
After Zhu Yunwen heard what Fu Youde said, his first feeling was how Fu Youde knew that he wanted to replace him.
Although Zhu Yunwen told Ding Xian what he was thinking. But he only said it to Ding Xian. Ding Xian is a very strict person. Although the city is full of storms outside now. However, the impeachment of Fu Youde has just begun, although some people say that Fu Youde should be replaced. But it's not mainstream.
So Fu Youde said this. There are two possibilities.
One possibility is that Fu Youde guessed it.
Perhaps Fu Youde's staff guessed Zhu Yunwen's thoughts.
Another possibility is that someone else told Fu Youde.
No matter which possibility it was, Zhu Yunwen felt a little angry.
If the first is the case, it means that his thoughts are transparent in front of these veterans. This hurt Zhu Yunwen's self-esteem. If it was the second type, someone would tell Fu Youde.
Of course not
Ding Xian, the only one is Xu Da.
When Xu Da did this, he clearly did not take the emperor into his heart, because Xu Da should naturally keep such a matter a secret.
Fu Youde didn't realize that as soon as he opened his mouth, he revealed his secrets.
Zhu Yunwen's mind was spinning countless times and he said: "I am still considering this matter. After all, the defeat in Hejian will harm the country, kill many people, and cause Shandong and Henan to fall into the flames of war. There are opinions from top to bottom, and this is also It's a normal thing. I'm just waiting for my father-in-law to come back as to how to deal with the situation. Why give him another chance? Where do you start talking about this? "
Fu Youde was stunned and thought to himself, "Did Xu Da lie to me?"
This momentary change was caught in Zhu Yunwen's eyes. He was sure that someone told Fu Youde, and it was most likely Xu Da who told him. There is no other way than if Fu Youde could have guessed it himself. He naturally understands the reason, and even if a counselor tells him, he will explain the cause and effect clearly.
Under such circumstances, how could he become suspicious just by asking a question?
Well, there is only one possibility, someone told him a result.
Of course, Zhu Yunwen was not sure either. He planned to review everyone in the palace who had come into contact with the relevant information afterwards. Let’s see if anyone dares to leak banned Chinese language.
At this moment, Fu Youde also came to his senses and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to take the blame and make meritorious service. Please grant your permission." As he said this, he saluted and paid homage.
Zhu Yunwen immediately supported Fu Youde and said: "Father-in-law, let me speak clearly. I have read and thought about the military reforms you proposed, and I feel that they are really right. There are just a few points that I have thought about. I am always undecided, so I ask my father-in-law to clarify my doubts.”
Fu Youde immediately said: "Your Majesty, please speak."
Zhu Yunwen said: "Back then, when the imperial grandfather founded the country, he didn't use any new tactics. Why can't we win now without using this tactics? And how did this new tactics come about?"
Fu Youde said: "Your Majesty does not know something."
Fu Youde then rattled off all the rules he had for the new tactics. Of course, because Fu Youde learned from the reforms carried out by the Northern Army, in many cases he was unable to implement the program of support and support consistently, so it seemed very cumbersome.
He Xi and Ye Chen's military reforms have two major principles. The first is to integrate mathematics into every corner of the military. How much to train, specifically how far to run every day, how many movements to do, break down the musket shooting, reduce it to twenty-three movements, or even less, etc.
The second is to build a system based on firepower.
Everything else is derivative and secondary.
But Fu Youde couldn't learn these essences. He just translated things that the Beijun found useful and usable, one-to-one, and then, on this basis, combined with his own experience, made certain improvements.
Some improvements are good. These improvements went against He Xi's principles and instead increased combat effectiveness. After all, Fu Youde's many years of fighting experience were not given in vain.
And although firepower is important, in the current battlefield environment, firepower cannot determine everything.
But there are more improvements and more or less deformations.
However, for Zhu Yunwen, these are not actually important.
Because Zhu Yunwen has worked hard to study these. But still confused. Because some things cannot be learned in a short time.
However, Zhu Yunwen's attention was not on some details. Instead, he grabbed a question and asked: "Father-in-law, when did you say this reform would be carried out? In fact, preparations began in the 26th year of Hongwu?"
Fu Youde said: "Exactly. However, it was just the beginning of selecting suitable officers."
Fu Youde almost turned He Xi's old story upside down. What he said is also true.
This fact is very important to Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen said: "Father-in-law, do you think the imperial grandfather didn't know about such a thing back then?"
Fu Youde was stunned. He pondered for a moment and said, "You shouldn't not know."
Fu Youde worked under Zhu Yuanzhang
, knows Zhu Yuanzhang very well. He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had much stronger control over military power than Zhu Yunwen. There was no nod from Zhu Yuanzhang. It is impossible for Zhu Hexi to do another thing in the army.
Zhu Yunwen said: "In this way, the Northern Army's tactics are exactly what Emperor Taizu left behind."
