Chapter 156: Banquet Wuying Hall
Now, the Li family has been destroyed, and the warlords in western Liaoning have not yet been formed by overhauling the Guanning Jin defense line.
The Liaodong gentry also either died or surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty, or had lost their land, moved to another place, and turned into paper tigers. It was when Xiong Tingbi could use his fists and feet.
The new military system prohibits the ban on raising private soldiers and bans family members to accompany the army, which has eliminated the emergence of warlords to the greatest extent.
Therefore, Zhu You proofread the proofreading that Fang Zu Dashou returned to Liaodong and Kong Youde returned to Dongjiang, so he was not very worried.
Zhang Yu'er was busy putting on the emperor's robe and tied it. Finally, she took a two-step back and looked at it carefully, and smiled with satisfaction.
Zhu Youxiao also replied with Hexi's smile and asked casually: "Why did Xiaobai sleep all the time these two days? It seems different from before!"
Zhang Yuer also found it strange and glanced at the white lady who was lying lazily in the nest, but she couldn't tell me any problem.
"Forget it." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "It's probably because the weather is warm and it's so lazy!" After that, he walked over and wanted to take a closer look at Xiaobai.
Seeing him approaching, Xiaobai immediately became alert, his calf was upright, and his strange eyes stared at Zhu Youxiao, as if he was ready to escape from the clutches at any time.
Zhu Youxiao saw Xiaobai's strange pupils shining, and knew it was okay, but he was very unhappy with its guardian appearance.
Zhang Yu'er hurried over, picked up the White Lady, and smiled at the Emperor, "The White Lady is fine, the Emperor can go to Wuying Palace with confidence!"
Zhu Youxiao rolled his eyes and turned away from the hall.
In the side hall of Wuying Hall, the generals had gathered together and were talking and arguing around the large sand table in the hall.
The sand table has been expanded a lot, marking the important towns on the nine sides and the grasslands outside the border as in detail as possible.
Moreover, the inner officials have told them that the emperor allowed them to make noise and read through the information in the hall without being too polite.
Only when seeing such an intuitive sand table can the generals know more about how serious the border of the Ming Dynasty is.
Not to mention that the Mongolian tribes were very calm, they were just using money and materials, that is, the temporary peace bought by Tongshi Fushang. When the year is not good, tribes will still come to plunder.
Since the end of Wanli, the court issued reward silver to the Mongolian tribes outside the Xuanfu every year. At the beginning, only thousands of taels were employed.
When Jiannu rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and started the war, the Mongolian tribes became the targets for the two sides. The Mongolian tribes asked for the Ming Dynasty increased sharply, and now it has reached more than 100,000 taels.
These materials are on the bookshelf next to the sand table, as well as the annual food and money required by each border town, and the expense of the imperial court transporting these food and money.
For real soldiers, what is this? It is a shame!
Eat the food transferred from all over the country and take the military pay paid by the court, but cannot resist insults, and have to spend money to buy peace. What is the face of the court? What is the significance of the country raising soldiers?
In addition to training soldiers, the first batch of martial arts officers were also required by Zhu Youxiao in accordance with the arrangements of the Ministry of War. They often discussed and studied together and were familiar with each other.
Therefore, looking at the marks of the enemy and us on the sand table, reading these internal materials, debates and even quarrels are inevitable.
"The root of the knot is Jiannu. If it weren't for the decay of Liaodong, how could the Western Captains dare to make a big splash?"
"If the border town has strong troops, how dare the Western Captains act rashly?"
"Nonsense! If I weren't afraid that the Western Lu would fall to Jiannu, how could I agree to his excessive request?"
"Alas, as soldiers, we cannot eliminate the rebellion and restore the lost territory. We are really ashamed."
"I feel at ease when I eat food and get salary, but I am repeatedly defeated when fighting for the country. I am really disappointed."
Zhang Pan raised his head and met Cao Wenzhao, a guerrilla in Liaodong Town.
The two of them were surprisingly consistent in their remarks, and they couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly, giving rise to the idea of heroes cherishing each other.
"When Dongjiang Town recruits and trains are completed, and attacks Jiannu from the sea will make him lose sight of one thing and run away." Kong Youde pointed on the sand table, "Look, how can Jiannu defend against such a vast coastline?"
Mao Chenglu agreed deeply, and his fingers came out of Pi Island and went north along the Yalu River. He said happily: "If you go up the river and copy the rear of Jiannu, it will make it difficult to defend."
Zhang Pan smiled and looked at Liaonan, Lushun, Jinzhou, and Nanguan... that was a strategic idea he had long had.
"The Minister of War Minister Sun arrived." The voice of the internal officials came from outside the hall. The generals in the hall hurriedly put away their clothes and bowed to greet them.
Sun Chengzong walked into the hall. Although he was old, he was in good spirits.
"The last general will pay homage to Lord Sun." The generals bowed and bowed to Shangguan.
"No gift." Sun Chengzong smiled and raised his hand, glanced at him, and nodded with satisfaction.
Sitting down in the middle seat, Sun Chengzong reached out to signal the generals to sit down, and stroked the thick bearded man's head with a smile.
After the generals sat down, Sun Chengzong coughed lightly and said, "I guess I have read all the situation on the sand table, as well as the documents, right?"
Hearing the response of the generals, Sun Chengzong's face became solemn and said slowly: "I guess you didn't have much sense of serious urgency before, but after understanding it, you will realize that the state affairs are difficult and the court is difficult."
"The emperor is wise and has both civil and military strengths. He has also made great efforts to ensure that the army is strong, military and profitable, and food and money are in short supply. You are the elites in the army. Your Majesty hopes to be sincere. I hope that you will revive the decline of the army, and the soldiers will use their lives to ensure the peace of life..."
"After you return to your town, you should train soldiers strictly according to the new law. After a few months, there will be thousands of elite troops in each town; after a year, they will all dare to fight against the warriors..."
"Waring against the Eastern Barbarians, strong armor and powerful soldiers are one of the most important things are courage. If you have courage, you dare to fight. If you don't have courage, you will be strong armor and powerful soldiers will also become decorations..."
"For more than ten years, the slave atmosphere was burning, and all the Liaodong was lost. The emperor was worried and the soldiers and civilians were panicked. However, in this crisis, it was the opportunity for you to practice military operations, to be generous in your army, and to make achievements."
Sun Chengzong stood up, glanced at the generals with a fierce look, and bowed, "Can you all attack Yue Fei and Han Shizhong's ambitions, build a war of suppression, sweep the storm, win a wife and son, and leave a name in history?"
"I will serve my country with loyalty."
"The generals will defend the dangerous borders and die in the battlefield."
"I will never spare my life and be proud of being wrapped in a horse and a corpse."
…………
All the generals stood up and bowed, all of whom were passionate. Although their words were not gorgeous, they also showed the spirit of a warrior.
Sun Chengzong smiled and said, "You are not afraid of life and death and are generous in your army. How can the emperor be stingy with the rewards of the Duke and the Marquis?"
As he said that, he invited the generals to surround the sand table, point out the situation, and discuss the battle and defense and attack.
When Zhu Youxiao came to Wuying Hall, he directly promoted the seat in the main hall and announced the generals to meet.
"All the ministers are not etiquette!" After meeting, Zhu Youxiao smiled and reached out to signal the generals to take their seats.
Chapter completed!
