Daming: You are really my eldest son

Chapter 79 Trouble is coming
The army that pacified Dongying left quietly, except for the scattered ripples on the waters, there was no green leaf that disturbed the capital in midsummer.

Everyone who knew about this matter was ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang to keep his mouth shut, even Hu Weiyong, the prime minister, was no exception.

The transfer of large sums of money and food was prevaricated on the grounds that the foundation of the Liaodong Guard was unstable and needed to be replenished with money and food from the court, so that many officials from the Ministry of Households were discussing in private whether there had been unknown changes in the northern war.

But all of this is just their guess after all, and this guess is far away from the truth.

And since that day when he discussed military strategy again with many nobles in Jinshen Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly regained the tension and joy of his military career.

The military restructuring that Zhu Ji mentioned has gradually formed a lingering impression in his mind.

Hold on tight to the barrel of your gun, hold on to your purse, and hold on to your pen.

After repeating the three sentences countless times, Zhu Yuanzhang still made up his mind. Whether the military system will be changed or not is another matter. The preparation of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is imperative.He must be the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty's million-strong army.

Not only the military, but even political affairs should be changed in this way.

He did not forget Hu Weiyong's objection to his fight against Japan.

As the king of a country, although these courtiers are needed to restrain his words and deeds, a prime minister like Hu Weiyong has obviously become his own constraints.

As my eldest son said, many nobles are very close to Hu Weiyong now. If things go on like this, wouldn't Hu Weiyong's power rival his own?

Change, must be changed.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a chill down his back.

The governor himself wants to be the governor, and the prime minister himself also wants to withdraw.

Or, even if the prime minister does not withdraw, certain important powers must be separated from the prime minister's authority.

It was another morning court that started before dawn. Zhu Jiqiang endured the drowsiness and listened to those old Confucians chattering in the court hall, and finally heard his own father say:
"The Ming Dynasty established the country with martial arts, but now, from our point of view, there is a lot of respect for literature and restraint of martial arts in the court. This means that the martial arts heroes do not cultivate virtue and act recklessly. On the other hand, the martial arts in the world is gradually weakening.

As the saying goes, if you enter, you will not be able to protect your family, but if you leave, you will be invincible to foreign patients, and the country will perish.We have to worry, in another 30 to [-] years, whether the generals of Ming Dynasty will be able to mount horses, and whether soldiers of Ming Dynasty will be able to kill the enemy. "

"We swear to fight for His Majesty and fight bloody enemies!"

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning, he had the idea of ​​finding himself to settle accounts. The group of martial arts officers panicked and stood out of the train and knelt down to express their loyalty and bravery to the decisive king.

But they didn't understand Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions at all.

Looking at a large group of generals kneeling on the right side of the train, and looking at the stationary civil servants on the left side of the train, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly in his heart, then shrugged his nose, and cursed with displeasure on his face:
"Leading into battle? Killing the enemy in blood? We all regret that you have cultivated this kind of virtue all these years. If you really want to relieve our worries, you should go to the school to practice more."

"From today onwards, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will rule over the world's soldiers and horses, and all the military merits will be allocated to the mansion to appoint them according to their capacity. We will serve as the Metropolitan Governor in person, without rank. Let the left and right governors each be of the first rank..."

In one sentence, all the functions of the Ministry of War were assigned to the Metropolitan Governor's Office, and Zhu Yuanzhang set up several additional departments, directly upgrading the Metropolitan Governor's Office to a structure comparable to that of the Zhongshu Province.

At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang did not forget what Zhu Ji said about teaching soldiers to read and write in the army.

Master Guorui is very familiar with fabricating textbooks.

From the "Da Ming Ji Li" that Zhu Ji had read before to the "Da Gao" and "Emperor Ming Zu Xun" that have not yet appeared, Zhu Yuanzhang has always stood at the forefront of the times. In the Ming Dynasty, no descendant can surpass him.

"Ministry of Rites, please compile a booklet for us to teach soldiers to be loyal to the emperor, love the country and love the common people. It should be as easy to understand as a book for beginners, and it can also teach them how to read. In the future, I will only have soldiers who can memorize it backwards. Military merit is only on the battlefield.”

When Zhu Ji heard it, he instantly felt powerless to complain.

Co-authoring later generations said that my own father gave the people of Ming Dynasty a copy of "Da Gao", and it is true that if you read it well, you can reduce crimes.

Well, this is very Zhu Yuanzhang.

He wasn't worried that someone would say that he became a soldier just because he couldn't study well.

Even though the price of books is much cheaper than before, reading is still a luxury.

Being able to read and write in the military camp should be something that those soldiers dare not even think about.Once it is implemented under Zhu Yuanzhang's iron-fisted supervision for three to five years, all the morale of the Ming army will belong to the old Zhu family.

Speaking of this, even Zhu Yuanzhang was evoked with a satisfied smile by the bright future.

At that time, he must tell the soldiers, is this satisfactory?

No, the eldest son of our family also said that the military household system should be changed, and that after four years in the army, he can be released to his original place of origin.Those who have made great achievements can still be promoted. The guards are no longer the era when the son inherits the father's business, and everyone can rise to the top.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the knelt warriors in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little lucky.

Fortunately, I was stingy back then, and when I made great achievements, I only made 24 marquises of six dukes.

If there are more seals, there will be more hereditary titles in the future, and my eldest son's set will really ruin the treasury.

As for Zhu Ji, at this time, his mouth was opened wide in shock by his own father's series of coquettish operations.

He never expected that he just came up with an idea, and the old man actually perfected it to the point where he could run the highest power structure in a few days.

But what Zhu Ji didn't expect was still to come.

"It will take some time before the completion of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. From tomorrow onwards, all affairs of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will be temporarily handled in the old office. Those of you who have never held civil positions in the court, Maozheng will roll to the small school to practice martial arts. He is waiting for us in the old inner court hall."

Hearing the old inner Zhu Ji didn't react for a while, but when Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned his name, Zhu Ji was completely dumbfounded:

"King Yong is also the chief governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. Tomorrow, after the old internal list of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is made, it will be at three o'clock every day. When we are not in the old house on weekdays, we have the right to do things cheaply."

Zhu Biao had already followed him to learn how to handle government affairs. Since he wanted to hold on to the gun, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally would not let Zhu Ji, the eldest son, have free time.

Aren't you complaining that you can't sleep well in the morning, so I will give you a chance to sleep well.

Of course, in order to take care of those Wu Xun's emotions, Zhu Yuanzhang also had to warn Zhu Ji:
"They are all experienced generals, and there is no place for you to point fingers in the ordinary days. Follow them and learn how to lead troops to fight. Don't embarrass us, understand?"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's decisive decision, Zhu Ji suddenly felt that his troubles had finally come.

　I slept too late last night, and I am a little bit unsustainable today, so I will read these three chapters first.I calculated that I owed a total of four chapters in the past two days. Let's see if I can make up for it this weekend. Let's catch up on sleep first and see you tomorrow at the same time.farewell good night
