I want to be a grandson

Chapter 367
"Your Highness, Minister of the Ministry of War, Ru Yu, is waiting outside the hall to see you."

In the Wenhua Palace, Li Fu came to report when Zhu Yunxi was studying.

"Xuan come in."

Although I don't know why he asked to see him as usual, but he is an important minister of the court and always wants to see him.

After a while, Li Fu brought him in, bowed and saluted and said, "Shangshu Ruyu, minister of the Ministry of War, pay homage to His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun!"

"Ru Butang is polite, sit down."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The little eunuch moved a brocade stool and put it behind him, and Ru Yuan sat down.

He didn't show off, and said directly: "Your Highness, Xu Huizu privately dispatched three thousand soldiers and horses to Shandong. I don't know how to deal with it. Please show Your Highness."

"Anthracene, that's why Ru Butang came here..."

Zhu Yunxi said with a smile: "Xu Huizu didn't transfer troops privately, but acted on orders, and I let him go."

Ru Yu raised her eyes to look at Zhu Yunxi, and said, "Your Highness, according to the process of troop deployment, the imperial court should issue an order, and then send generals to mobilize troops after that."

"Your Highness's doing this... makes the Ministry of War very difficult..."

Ru Xun knew what he meant by saying that, if a monarch could bypass the Ministry of War and deploy troops at will with a single password, it would indeed be inappropriate.

The role of the six ministries of the imperial court is partly to limit imperial power.

When the emperor is wise and powerful and makes the right decision, they will actively support it.When the emperor is fatuous and unreasonable, they will also make many suggestions and restrict them.

Moreover, it is indeed wrong to deploy troops at will. That is to say, in the Hongwu Dynasty, the Zhu family was relatively harmonious, so Zhu Yuanzhang would not be afraid.

If this were placed in other dynasties, even if the crown prince dared to transfer troops privately, that would be a serious crime!

Tang Xuanzong, who created the Kaiyuan Prosperity, is powerful enough, killing his son is like playing!
Zhu Yunxi then said: "The matter is urgent, and I didn't have time to discuss it with the Ministry of War. It is indeed a bit hasty...Ru Butang can make up an official document."

Even if the king is wrong, it is impossible to admit it!
It is very polite to say such a thing.

"Yes, Wei Chen obeys."

Ru Xun didn't think too much about it, it's not a big deal, it's just not in accordance with the rules.

"I heard that His Highness is going to train the Shenji Battalion, but no officials from the Ministry of War have entered it. I wonder if the people below are negligent?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help frowning slightly.

The Shenji Battalion is the firearms camp that I want to train, and I will take on important responsibilities in the future, not only to promote the research and production of firearms, but also to verify their power on the battlefield.

A firearms unit must have sound industrial support behind it, such as the manufacture of Glauber's salt and sulfur, and the production of various parts of muskets, which will indirectly promote the iron smelting industry.

If you can build this army according to your own ideas, then when it is trained, it will definitely become a big killer!
If it is scaled up again to carry out legion battles, then [-] soldiers and horses from the Shenji Battalion can defeat three times the enemies!
Such a powerful force must be in your own hands!

Therefore, from top to bottom, the Shenji Camp must only know to be loyal to the emperor, and only listen to orders from themselves!
But if the Ministry of War is allowed to intervene, they will nominate generals and be responsible for checking and reporting military merits.

The generals were recommended by them, and the military achievements were reported by them. If so, how could he control the Shenji Battalion?
After all, if you want to win the hearts of the people, in addition to being courteous and virtuous, you also need to be promoted and appreciated!
So from the very beginning of the Shenji Camp, Zhu Yunxi had no intention of letting the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies intervene!
Zhu Yunxi did not answer his question, but asked: "Ru Butang, I have been studying recently, and when I read about the military system in the Tang Dynasty, I was puzzled by something, and I would like to ask Ru Butang to clarify."

Ru Yu said: "Your Highness is serious, please ask, and I will tell you everything."

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said: "The Tang Dynasty was under the Fubing system, which is nothing, but I heard that there is also the Six Rates of the Eastern Palace. I don't know what's going on?"

Seeing His Highness's innocent face, Ru Xun was also a little puzzled.

Your Highness really doesn't know?Or is it intentional?

The Six Commanders of the East Palace can easily know it by simply looking up the classics. How could His Highness not know?

But since he asked, Ru Yu replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, the six guards of the Crown Prince's East Palace during the Tang Dynasty were the left and right guards, the left and right ministers, and the left and right Qing Dao."

"The guards lead the army from three to five mansions. According to the military system of the Tang Dynasty, the number of soldiers in the mansions can be divided into three levels. The upper mansion has 200 people, the middle mansion has 1000 men, and the lower mansion has 800 men. [-] people."

"So the number of people in the Sixth Division of the Eastern Palace generally ranges from more than 6000 to [-]..."

"Oh..." Zhu Yunxi said with a smile on his face, "It turns out that there are so many people in the sixth rate of the East Palace... Ru Butang continues!"

Ru Yu went on to say: "East Palace Ten leads the left and right guards in the mansion to lead the mansion, and the left and right internal leaders do not command the soldiers of the mansion. Therefore, the East Palace Six leads the prince's personal soldiers directly under his control."

"The left and right rate mansions have one left and right guards, who are on the fourth rank; and one on the left and right payers, who are on the fourth rank. They are in charge of the military battles and guards of the Prince's East Palace. , one person who records affairs and joins the military, is in charge of the seal."

"Cang Cao Shenjun, Bing Cao Shenjun, Zhou Cao Shenjun, and Cavalry Cao Shenjun each, all from the eighth rank, and they are in charge of the civil official book, military officer book, equipment, and public office."

Zhu Yunxi nodded, and praised: "Ru Butang is worthy of being a man of profound knowledge, and he can answer the questions fluently, which is really admirable."

"Your Highness, you are welcome..."

"Ru Butang, according to the regulations for guarding the prince of Ming Dynasty, does a prince have three guards and horses as guards?"

Ru Xun took a deep look at Zhu Yunxi, already thinking about it in her heart, maybe she understood the purpose of his question.

"Reporting to Your Highness, in the fifth year of Hongwu, His Majesty stipulated that the vassal palace "set up three guards, and the guards set up five guards on the left, right, middle, front, and back."

Therefore, generally speaking, a prince has three guards, and if the quota is full, the number will be more than [-]..."

But then he said again: "Your Highness, the reason why His Majesty asked the princes to lead so many soldiers and horses is not only to serve as guards, but also to guard the palace safely."

"If there is a war in various places, the guards of the court and vassals will go to the war, and the commander of the guards is also dispatched by the court..."

These words are actually telling Zhu Yunxi that despite the fact that there are many guards, they are all members of the imperial court!

But Zhu Yunxi ignored this, and said enviously: "I really envy you, Uncle Wang, who can command thousands of troops, command battles, and scold Fang Qiu, this is what a man should do!"

And he said with great vigor: "Ru Butang, as the crown prince, he not only needs to pay attention to the government affairs of the court and the people's livelihood, but also pays attention to military affairs. At least he must be very familiar with it."

"This is so that there will be no mistakes or omissions. Do you think this is the reason? Otherwise, it would be difficult to appreciate the hard work of your military officials..."

The muscles on Ru Yu's eye sockets kept twitching, His Highness wanted to form his own "pro-army"!

Co-authoring my own explanation is all in vain.

Moreover, His Highness's words also contain threats. If you don't let me lead the army, then I can't understand your hard work!

And any mistakes or omissions are yours!

Ru Yu asked cautiously: "I wonder how many soldiers and horses His Highness wants to set up in the Shenji Battalion?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Rubutang, the Shenji Battalion is ready to lead [-] soldiers..."

Thirty thousand soldiers? !
That's enough for a war!

When Ru Yu heard this, she immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness, [-] soldiers and horses are too many, which is already beyond the strength of the guards! It is impossible to use so many soldiers and horses as guards, Your Highness, please think twice!"

"I think five thousand soldiers and horses are enough! It is also the most appropriate!"

It's okay for Chu Jun to master a little guard, after all, he can't make any big waves.

But if you have [-] soldiers and horses in your hands, you can seek power and usurp the throne if you are not careful!

Therefore, for the safety of Daming and to safeguard the imperial power, Ru Yu resolutely opposes it!

Zhu Yunxi said righteously: "Ru Butang, you also said that the Tang Dynasty had the Six Commanders of the Eastern Palace and [-] soldiers and horses! Could it be that the heir of the Ming Dynasty is not as good as the heir of the Tang Dynasty?"

Is this a bit murderous?Who dares to admit it?
To say that the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty is not as good as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty is to say that the Ming Dynasty is not as good as the Tang Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew this, so he must wear small shoes!
So Ru Yu hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that, but I said that [-] soldiers and horses are indeed too many. Your Highness, you are the heir, and you don't need that many at all..."

"The crown prince doesn't know how to deal with the affairs of state? How to share the worries of the emperor? Even if he ascends the throne in the future, he may be a fatuous person. I'm afraid this is not the original intention of the minister?"

"So as a prince, you must know how to fight, Rubutang, don't you think so?"
