Chapter 180 Fu Youde’s Crime
Fu Youde pondered for a moment and said, "It's not wrong to say so."
Fu Youde felt that He Xi had probably asked Zhu Yuanzhang for instructions. But it would be too much to say that such tactics were created by Zhu Yuanzhang.
However, Fu Youde is not without any political sensitivity.
Fu Youde's military reform faced many obstacles. It would be much more convenient if this set of tactics were named after Taizu's legacy and linked to Zhu Yuanzhang's prestige.
It will also reduce a lot of resistance.
Zhu Yunwen didn't understand military affairs, but he knew current affairs very well. When he was sure that the front line could not be maintained without military reforms. His position changed very quickly.
That's when I came up with this idea.
It's just that Zhu Yunwen didn't know if he had ever thought about one thing, if it was confirmed that this set of tactics was created by Zhu Yuanzhang. So why did Zhu Yuanzhang carry out military reforms in Beijing instead of Nanjing?
What does Beijing have that Nanjing doesn’t have?
Of course it’s Zhu Xiongying.
This in turn confirmed Zhu Xiongying’s legitimacy.
Perhaps Zhu Yunwen knew this, but now that his position is secure, he does not need to worry about small flaws in legitimacy. After all, as long as he still holds power, no one will notice this small flaw, and there will be no People dare to pay attention.
Zhu Yunwen said: "I think so too. However, in my opinion, it is better to divide this military reform into two parts. One part is placed on the front line, after all, it directly faces the Northern rebels, and the other part is placed in the capital. I also want to see it. , what are these new tactics like?"
"Father-in-law, can you help me in Nanjing?"
This sentence stopped Fu Youde.
Zhu Yunwen said this sincerely.
After all, Zhu Yunwen has always had limited participation in military affairs. How many troops can truly obey Zhu Yunwen's orders unconditionally? Zhu Yunwen himself didn't know. The only one who was relieved was probably the palace guard.
The guards around Zhu Yunwen were all released to take charge of the army. Zhu Yunwen didn't know whether these armies could fight, but they were loyal.
Zhu Yunwen felt that if he wanted to control the military, he must first have someone.
Elderly people cannot be used. No matter what kind of elderly they are, they have various complex labels on themselves and some entangled interests. It was simply not enough to make Zhu Yunwen believe it.
Zhu Yunwen has been thinking of ways to promote new people.
This military reform is also an opportunity for Zhu Yunwen.
Promote a group of new people to replace the veterans in the army. But there are also dangers.
The crisis is why do these newcomers listen to themselves? rather than listening to their superiors.
Zhu Yunwen also followed Beijing's approach and prepared to establish a military academy in the capital, with him as the principal, so as to better control the army. Originally, Zhu Yunwen never thought of letting Fu Youde participate in this matter. .
After all, in Zhu Yunwen's heart, these people are the backbone of the future army. If Fu Youde is involved, the Fu family's influence will be somewhat greater.
However, Fu Youde's performance today also made Zhu Yunwen think that he could not take down Fu Youde forcefully. After all, the Fu family has cooperated with him for many years. There is already a prince.
You can't change the prince in the future, right?
So, he wanted to make a concession.
Give some benefits to Fu Youde in exchange for Fu Youde's transfer of frontline military power.
But Fu Youde didn't think so.
Fu Youde pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I know your Majesty's intentions. Does your Majesty know about Sheng Yong?"
Zhu Yunwen said: "I know. He fought the Battle of Fuhe."
Fu Youde said: "In fact, the person in the army who is most familiar with the Northern Army's tactics is none other than Sheng Yong. After all, the veteran is old and has a high status, so it is impossible for him to fight on the front line. Sheng Yong has fought against the Northern Army on the front line. He has given instructions several times. He has been in charge of both offense and defense, artillery and cavalry. The veteran believes that this person can be used by His Majesty to cultivate talents for His Majesty.
. It would be better for the veteran to stay on the northern line. After all, Ye Chen is not a fuel-efficient person. "
After Zhu Yunwen heard this, he snorted in his heart.
Fu Youde may have good intentions and recommended his most capable general to Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen is not denying Sheng Yong's talent. He didn't know much about military affairs, and he didn't know what kind of person Sheng Yong was. But since Fu Youde said so, Zhu Yunwen also believed that Sheng Yong was a talented general.
What made Zhu Yunwen feel uncomfortable was that Zhu Yunwen was not sure whether Sheng Yong was talented or not. But who is Sheng Yong? Zhu Yunwen knew it all. Fu Youde's cultivation of Sheng Yong was nothing more than his own son.
Fu Youde is in the north and Sheng Yong is in the south. Is it possible that the Ming army will have the surname Fu?
This is something Zhu Yunwen can never agree to.
Now Zhu Yunwen had no intention of saying anything more to Fu Youde. the reason is simple. Zhu Yunwen tried several times, but Fu Youde didn't seem to realize this at all. Zhu Yunwen didn't want him to take the lead on the military reform, or in other words, he didn't want Fu Youde to take the lead.
Zhu Yunqi couldn't say these words directly, saying that father-in-law, you must give up the leadership of future military reform, or you must give up half of it.
This is broken. If Fu Youde is willing to make concessions, then he is being honest and sincere. If he is not willing, then it is a matter of time and space.
Zhu Yunwen sighed in his heart and said: "Sheng Yong, I have written it down on the screen. I will definitely promote him in the future. As for the court affairs, let's wait and see the opinions of all parties."
What opinions do you have?
Naturally, it was led by Zhu Yunwen.
During this period of time, although Zhu Yunwen's control over the military was not deep enough, he had very deep control over the entire civil service system.
------
Fu Youde had a meal with Zhu Yunwen in the palace, and they were very happy at that time. But the next day, the entire court was impeaching Fu Youde for losing his master and humiliating the country.
For a time, countless officials impeached him. All newspapers further reported on Fu Youde's various mistakes on the front line and wrote about them with added detail. Fu Youde suddenly became the target of thousands of people.
It’s not that Fu Youde has never fought. But it's of no use.
After all, Fu Youde is a majestic general on the front line. Even if he is at a disadvantage on the battlefield, he is always ready to bite back. But above the imperial court, he is a novice.
Fu Youde wanted to find public officials to say good things to him, and even wanted to find some celebrities who wrote articles in newspapers to clear his name.
But Fu Youde has no idea about the interests behind this. I really thought that these people who spoke out wanted to speak out themselves. It's not like there's someone behind the scenes. Ever since, Fu Youde's behavior was exposed. This increased the dislike of Fu Youde both inside and outside the court.
Of course, in the Ming Dynasty, public opinion did not determine major court affairs. But public opinion often has the advantage of the court.
Many people understand this very clearly.
Now that public opinion in Nanjing has reached this point, the court's decision will naturally go against Fu Youde.
At this time, the Korean public Li Qi, who was sharpening his sword, also came to an end.
He has already seen the direction of the wind, and at the same time, he is also preparing to compete for the position of frontline coach for his own side. After all, there are many veterans behind him. These veterans have been suppressed by Fu Youde before. How can he not take revenge now.
He even integrated internal forces and decided to push Zhao Yong, the Xionghou of the South, to take charge of military affairs on the northern front.
Preparations are already being made in this regard.
Even so, Fu Youde participated in the first court meeting. Although Fu Youde was attacked from above and below and was in a state of embarrassment, Fu Youde's status was still not shaken.
Zhu Yunwen was not prepared to break up with Fu Youde, and maintained a somewhat hesitant attitude in defending Fu Youde in the court. In the future, Zhu Yunwen will still use Fu Youde, so he will naturally have to keep it safe and give up as a last resort.
And it's not that he, Zhu Yunwen, doesn't want to protect him, it's that the crowd is so excited that he can't protect him.
Leave room for Fu Youde to be used in the future.
It would be wrong to say that Fu Youde didn't know Zhu Yunwen's thoughts at all. However, Fu Youde still had illusions about the situation at hand, and wanted to work hard to survive the current crisis without giving up frontline power. Make a last ditch effort.
However, no one expected that the real fatal blow would be given to Fu Youde. But it comes from the East China Sea.
