Brother Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 83

After some horse riding, Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian brothers had a great time playing, but when they were having fun, Wang An brought two young eunuchs and sent a thick stack of memorials. .

Seeing the memorial, although Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything, he felt a little unhappy.

Seeing this, Zhu Youjian could only follow along and say:

"After riding for half an hour, it is true that I am a little tired, why not take a rest first?"

"Alright." Zhu Youxiao nodded, knowing that it was Zhu Youjian who was afraid of delaying the memorial and was afraid of face.

The two got off their horses and sat on chairs under Huang Gailuo's umbrella, while the eunuch next to him also brought herbal tea.

Wang An saluted and said:
"Long live, Your Highness, these are memorials that the chief of ceremonies cannot handle, and need your decision, Long live."

"Among these are the memorials sent by the Ministry of War, one is the memorial of Xiong Tingbi, the economic strategist of Liaodong, the other is the memorial of the Ministry of Households on the payment, and the other is the proposal of the censors about the soldiers and horses in Changping and Tongzhou."

"Let's look at the Ministry of War first." Zhu Youxiao is still very concerned about military affairs, so he took the memorial and glanced at it, then handed it to Zhu Youjian, motioning him to take a look.

Zhu Youjian didn't refuse either, but took the memorial and glanced at it.

This memorial is a memorial made by a censor who inspected Changping and Tongzhou.

It explains the inaction of Tongzhou Guard among the twenty-six guards of Shangzhi, and the lack of training of soldiers and horses in Changping area.

The censor's suggestion is to abolish the three thousand soldiers and horses in Tongchang, such as Changping and Tongzhou, and recruit new ones.

I have to say that his proposal is still somewhat interesting.

Zhu Youjian in Tongzhou didn't know, but he had seen the soldiers and horses in Gonghua City in Changping area with Yang Lian, and it was really not good.

It's just that the soldiers and horses of Yumajian and Habayashi Sanwei haven't been practiced yet. If they do, Zhu Youjian wants to immediately return Yubayashi Sanwei to his brother, and ask Habayashi Sanwei to replace the soldiers of these two places. horse.

Although there are not many soldiers and horses in these two places, there are only two soldiers and horses of the guards, but the annual salary is seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver, which can be settled by counting food and drink.

One hundred thousand taels of silver raised such a waste, thinking about Zhu Youjian felt distressed.

Therefore, he could only tentatively say: "This memorial, my younger brother thinks it can be adopted."

"If the emperor is not in a hurry, please give me half a year, and after half a year, I will return to the emperor's brother Habayashi Sanwei."

"At that time, one of the three guards of Habayashi can be transferred to guard the imperial city, one to guard Tongzhou, and one to guard Changping."

"In this way, we can abolish Changping and Tongzhou guards and count the acres of land in the two guards. Not only can we save [-] taels of silver every year, but we can also obtain enough land to increase the court's land tax."

"Hmm..." Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly, didn't say anything meaningful, just frowned and looked at the memorial in his hand.

Zhu Youjian glanced at it, only to see the eloquent memorial with thousands of characters, which was a headache.

After a while, Zhu Youxiao finished reading the memorial and then said:

"Your brother's words make sense, but you are so confident that you can replace the soldiers and horses of Tongzhou and Changping with the soldiers and horses of the two guards, without causing dissatisfaction in the guards below?"

"Chendi is confident!" Zhu Youjian replied confidently:
"My brother once saw the local soldiers and horses when he stayed in Gonghua City. To be honest, even if there are [-] soldiers and horses like that, they can't stop the Habayashi Sanwei who have been training for half a year!"

Zhu Youjian has already said it very blatantly. If he didn't care about his face, he would have said that those guys are farmers in armor and weapons.

But even if he said it very implicitly, it made Zhu Youxiao realize how weak the soldiers and horses in Beizhili area are.

Zhu Youjian saw that Brother Hao's face was not good-looking, so he also took advantage of the victory and chased after him:
"How about this? After the beginning of spring next year, my brother will call Habayashi Sanwei back to the capital to show off his military power outside the Anding Gate. At that time, my brother will send another general to lead them. I will naturally know how powerful they are."

"Alright..." Hearing what Zhu Youjian said, Zhu Youxiao could only nod his head, and then handed the memorial in his hand to Zhu Youjian and said:
"A few days ago, the censor Feng Sanyuan impeached Xiong Tingbi, saying that if he is not dismissed, the Liao land will not be kept after all."

"I sent Feng Sanyuan's memorial to the courtiers for discussion. I never thought that Xiong Tingbi would be annoyed. Now he is going to write a letter to defend himself and ask to be dismissed from office and return to his hometown."

"What do you think of this?"

Zhu Youxiao asked, while Zhu Youjian glanced at Xiong Tingbi's memorial.

[Chen, Xiong Tingbi, Liaodong economic strategist, paid homage to the Holy Grace, and then resigned. After the Liao land was wiped out from the three roads, and the old slave fell into Kaiyuan again...]

This memorandum was longer than Zhu Youjian expected, with a full thousand words, and the beginning of it was Xiong Tingbi's resignation to return to his hometown.

Further down, Xiong Tingbi talked about the chaos in Liaodong, and said that after he abolished the Liao soldiers, each person had a school field and managed thousands of soldiers. Every thousand people were divided into forty teams with twenty-five people in each team.

Among the twenty-five people, another Yan'er's nest was set up, and this Yan'er's nest was five cavalrymen who were good at shooting.

After more than half a year of training in this way, Liaodong was stabilized.

It's just that although Liaodong has undergone several times of disarmament, there are only [-] soldiers and horses, and only [-] to [-] are worthy of fighting in the wilderness.

After he dismissed from office and returned to his hometown, he asked Yuan Yingtai, the governor of Liaodong, to manage Liaodong so that Liaodong could be defended.

But Nurhachi will inevitably attack Liaodong after he is dismissed. Therefore, if he wants to defend against Nurhachi, he must transfer [-] elite soldiers from the nine sides, and [-] eastern Sichuan chieftains to defend Liaodong.

After that, Xiong Tingbi complained about Yao Zongwen, Feng Sanyuan and others' false accusations that he had not done anything in Liaodong, and listed various evidences.

It has to be said that, judging from the memorabilia, Xiong Tingbi's analysis of Liaodong's form is very good except for the few hundred words of crying at the end.

However, his request to transfer [-] elite soldiers from the nine borders and [-] chieftain soldiers is really inappropriate.

It can be seen from the [-] soldiers and horses that Xiong Tingbi has obviously disarmed again, because when Man Gui told Zhu Youjian about the situation in Liaodong, there were still [-] soldiers and horses in Liaodong.

But now there are only [-], which can only show that Xiong Tingbi has cut his army again, and after the cut, the number of soldiers who can fight in the wilderness is only [-] to [-].

This guy doesn't have so many twists and turns. He just said this number to make the court realize that the situation in Liaodong is not enough to counterattack Nurhachi.

But this guy didn't expect that this form of dismissal would only make the court doubt his personal ability, especially Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao now knows the complexity of the local situation in Liaodong after Zhu Youjian has talked about the situation in Liaodong several times.

But even so, he was very dissatisfied with Xiong Tingbi's memorial and doubted his ability.

"This old vulgar man, can't he say a few words less?"

Zhu Youjian cursed secretly in his heart, and then he had no choice but to bite the bullet and wipe Xiong Tingbi's ass.
