Chapter 886 The Capital Garrison!
"Wei Zhong, how is the treaty going?"
The emperor pinched his waist and led Yan Song inside.
Although the second child is talking about this matter, Yan Song is a foreign affairs officer, so he must know the details.
"Back to the emperor, Prince Yu is very capable. Wei Chen thinks it shouldn't be a problem. Now we just have to see how to sign it."
"No matter how capable you are, you still lack experience. You should be more careful."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I know this."
Zhu Houzhao's eyes narrowed as he smiled. Yan Song always did what he wanted, and this kid was very good at getting things done.
"Sit down, sit down." He pointed, and then started to chat, "Last year, Jing Yang returned to China, and there was a lot of commotion. When he first saw the world, his head was burning up and down. Fortunately, he is not sober after a new year. Young Master, Wei Zhong, according to your opinion, what is the most important thing for Ming Dynasty right now? Don’t block my mouth with words like Li Chu.”
Yan Song smiled and said, "How dare the emperor say anything? However, in the past year, the emperor has indeed been much more tired than before. The ministers have noticed it and are thinking of ways to relieve the emperor's worries."
"You're very observant, and there are so many things going on that it's a little confusing, so you have to sort it out. It's okay. Just tell me. It doesn't matter."
"Your Majesty is so complimentary. It's all your Majesty's training."
After more than four months of preparation, the troops and supplies for the expedition to Japan are almost gone.
"Yes, Wei Chen always remembers that the emperor said that no matter what you do, you must always have a clear goal to facilitate practice. Otherwise, you will be confused and wandering in circles, which is a waste of energy. And recently, Wei Chen is thinking that the emperor is not very lucky. His Highness held a discussion on the strategy of a great power? It is the beginning of spring. Should the Emperor find a time to really decide on this? In this case, no matter how chaotic it is, there will always be a clear tone."
"That makes sense. Is there anything else?"
A month later, in Fengtian Hall, I called the Great Chao and asked them all to come. By the way, let Zaihe draft the text of a great power strategy first, and then go through it one by one. Then let the governors of various places and the general soldiers of border towns submit memorials. According to the principle of voluntariness, those who have ideas can write them, and those who have no ideas can forget it. "
"The servant is here."
"Also... I think that the Ming Dynasty under your Majesty's rule is completely different from the previous generations. At that time, the Ming Dynasty only had to take care of the country, but now the Ming Dynasty has more and more external contacts, so it must grasp the overall situation of the internal and external world, and capture the thieves first. Capture the king.
The overall situation abroad can only be determined based on the strategy set by the Ming Dynasty, but the words war and peace cannot be escaped. "
Currency innovation and the conclusion of treaties are all tedious and complicated matters. Prince Yu is doing it now, but he still has to rely on you veterans to make preliminary preparations and really push them forward. Come into the cabinet and take charge of these two things. "
Not to mention there is a war to be fought this year.
The emperor was not polite to him and turned around to greet him, "Youzhi."
"Go to the Attendant's Office and tell them, let them inform the two adult princes in Beijing, as well as the main nobles, Jiuqing, and all the teachers with official status in the Capital High School, and let them be ready... in a month's time .
The overall domestic situation is firstly the military system and currency reform, and secondly the people's livelihood and well-being. Under the people's livelihood and well-being, there are tax system, immigration and other matters.
Yan Song suddenly heard the good news, and his heart suddenly became excited, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness! I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations!"
The emperor, accompanied by the cabinet, the Duke of Yue and the Duke of England, came to the capital camp.
This expedition to mobilize troops coincided with the establishment of a garrison army of 10,000 people. That is, elite soldiers were drawn from the original Shangzhi personal guards and Jingying camp to form five armies of the Jingshi garrison military region, and they were named respectively :
Flying dragons, eagles, tigers, iron-blooded guards and fallen soldiers.
In fact, there were originally people in the cabinet, but these two things required frequent trips to Beijing and even abroad this year. Zhu Houzhao still had to keep Zhang, Gu, and Wang to ensure that everything else was normal. The original things could not be done just for the sake of one or two reforms. Don't care at all.
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, turned to Yan Song and said: "Weizhong, I have been thinking these past few days that there must be a lot of things happening in the 21st year of Zhengde. Don't hide in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs anymore.
"My servant has taken note of it and will go and deliver the order."
Zhu Houzhao pondered, and then couldn't help but sigh, "It's a big deal if you say it so casually. Yes, you have become more capable recently."
At about six o'clock the next day,
Each of the five armies has a guard army of 30,000 people, and each guard army has 3,000 people equipped with Rumi's second-generation fire guns.
As for armor and medicine, they are all open to supply.
Anyway, it’s just two words, spend money.
Zhu Houzhao never wanted his troops to fight a poor war, especially against Japan. He wanted to hit him with a hammer until he could not stand up for five hundred years.
The commander-in-chief of the Capital Garrison Military District shall be the emperor himself and shall not be lent to anyone else.
The five general armies were the Duke of England, the Duke of Yue, the Duke of Zheng, and the emperor himself.
The pattern is that the emperor directly leads two armies, and the remaining three princes each lead one army.
However, the British Duke is currently leading the army on an expedition, so he alone is responsible for the two armies of the Flying Dragon and the Tiger, which can be regarded as the commander of the army in wartime.
Of course, the factor of taking a boat across the sea was also taken into consideration. All soldiers who went out were tested to avoid seasickness.
As for the 10,000-person commander of the Guard Army, as well as the Qianhu, Baihu, and General Banners below him, two conditions must first be met.
First, he has an educational background at the Army Academy and Naval Academy.
Second, he has the experience of participating in the wars such as the attack on Turpan and Yarkand.
It doesn’t matter how much credit Li has made, but at least he must have been commended.
I usually cheat and show off, but I will wilt at the first glance. If I don’t have that momentum, I won’t be able to get on with anyone.
This is a kind of good money that drives out bad money. In fact, it naturally caused some soldiers to rush to lead combat missions.
Because there are too many people around them, or they have heard of, who have accumulated merit and become officers.
In fact, in addition to material support such as soldiers, generals, and weapons, the more important point is the spirit, or military soul.
To this end, the previously established political commissar system that imitated later generations was officially implemented. From Qianhu household upwards, each army was equipped with specially selected civilian officials, and continued political and ideological education was carried out in the army.
Of course, all previous disciplinary regulations and training regulations have also been applied.
Because of this kind of care, this is the tiger army that Zhu Houzhao saw today. In addition to the 60,000 people sent by the Ming Dynasty,
The Li Dynasty will send 20,000 soldiers and 50,000 civilians to undertake tasks other than combat, such as transporting supplies and so on.
Plus the 20,000 troops already stationed in Japan.
The total number will be 100,000 real soldiers sent to Japan.
Eighty thousand in Ming Dynasty and 20,000 in North Korea.
If we follow the general 'claim' method, we can call out 300,000 troops.
At this time, Japan was in what they called the Warring States Period. A country as big as a province was divided into hundreds of small towns, and all the daimyo lined up to behead their heads for a while.
There are not many large-scale and organized armies.
Zhu Houzhao can be said to be fighting a war to destroy the country this time.
But he felt it was necessary.
From a practical point of view, since the Zhengde Dynasty, Ming Dynasty has continuously strengthened its exchanges with neighboring countries, and no one who is blind has dared to attack Ming Dynasty.
This is truly audacious.
A high-ranking empire cannot have a "blood bar", it must be invincible.
Judging from his past life memories, this nation must be cleaned up. He does not remember gratitude, but he remembers beatings. He can be dealt with severely for hundreds of years.
Furthermore, the imperial court has made the decision to develop overseas lands, which requires a large amount of cheap labor.
Japan still has a population of over 10 million.
As for the moral guilt of enslaving them, Zhu Houzhao had no sense at all. He only regretted that Ming Dynasty could not develop nuclear weapons.
Not only that, in fact, sometimes he privately thinks that maybe it is because this nation does not have heart-wrenching historical memories that it cannot understand the suffering of other nations.
From this perspective, isn't he doing good?
Anyway, forget it.
After being renovated, the capital camp is now located in the southwest of the capital. It is surrounded by an iron fence. The residences, canteens, training venues, warehouses, etc. inside have been redesigned.
After the new drill method was implemented, the familiar square formation in Zhu Houzhao's memory appeared.
This is not a phalanx like a military parade, but a large phalanx where all the soldiers are gathered together to prepare for battle. The 6 troops are divided into thirty phalanxes, each with people.
From the high platform, it looks like pieces of tofu.
Although the level of formation is definitely not as neat as that of later generations, in this era, it is already impressive to be able to do so.
Horns taller than a human were set up on both sides of the high platform, making a majestic sound of "doo, beep, beep" as the emperor approached.
"Your Majesty, Zhou Shangwen (Zhang Shu), is here to see you!!"
Zhu Houzhao got down from the sedan and first glanced at these super phalanxes that stretched far away while pinching his waist.
In front of each phalanx was a general in heavy armor, who knelt as he looked and led everyone in shouting, "Long live my emperor!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
……
This kind of momentum aroused Zhu Houzhao's heart. He did not follow the previously planned procedure and climbed onto the high platform. Instead, he walked around the steps and walked forward towards the soldiers.
At close range, he saw the soldiers' faces and expressions, their yellowed or dark skin, their black and translucent hair, and their faces as sharp as terracotta warriors and horses.
"Dr. Yue, Duke of England, you have done a good job!"
Just through his eyes, Zhu Houzhao could see the spirit of these soldiers.
Zhou Shangwen followed up and said: "All of this is due to your majesty's careful planning. I just did what your majesty said."
"No, no," Zhu Houzhao waved his hands. He was in an excited mood. As he spoke, he walked to the nearest square formation. There was a general standing alone at the front. He was tall and burly, with a thin and powerful face, and his eyes were like an eagle. So sharp.
Zhu Houzhao hit his chest twice with his hand, "It's very strong! What's your name?"
The general replied loudly, "Your Majesty, I will be the commander of the 2000th household of the first guard of the Feilong Army, Zhan Yunhong!"
"Where have you been on the battlefield?"
"Your Majesty, when the Yarkand Khanate is annihilated, the last general will be the scout in the army!"
"How many enemies have you killed?"
"I am ashamed of myself. I have only killed more than 200 people with my own hands so far."
"A lot."
Then Zhu Houzhao walked towards the second square array and asked not exactly the same questions, but they were similar.
This is to tell everyone clearly that what the emperor wants are true warriors who have been on the battlefield and been stained with blood!
