Daming: Start with an Altar of Luck

Chapter 21 A Cup of Wine Releases Military Power (for collection)
The convoy continued on the next day.

Zhu Biao had also been called to his frame by Lao Zhu long ago, and at the same time, Liu Bowen, as the Minister of Service this time, naturally came to Lao Zhu's frame early in the morning.

Although Lao Zhu left Yingtian to start his northern tour, after Yingtian's Li Shanchang summed up the important affairs of the court, he hurriedly sent Lao Zhu a brochure to talk about the affairs of the court.

Li Shanchang is a good hand in managing internal affairs, and Liu Bowen is a person who is very good at planning the overall situation. The two have contributed a lot in Lao Zhu's struggle for the world over the years.

Halfway through the frame, Lao Zhu stopped the convoy.

"Come on, Bowen will go down with us and have a look." Lao Zhu got up and got out of the carriage when he saw that the carriage had stopped.

Accompanied by the two of them, Zhu Biao walked towards a bamboo forest by the side of the road.

"Two tigers, put off your vigilance, let's walk around casually, don't get too close."

"Observe the order." Erhu, who was following the three of them, heard Lao Zhu's order, and immediately backed away, and ordered the staff to disperse their guards. Even in the bamboo forest in front, several sergeants went in to investigate the situation.

Zhu Biao and Liu Bowen followed Lao Zhu to the depths of the bamboo forest, until they could no longer see the guards behind them, Lao Zhu asked casually, "Bowen, did you come up with an idea after a night?"

Liu Bowen's footsteps paused: "What idea does the emperor ask the ministers to think?" Liu Bowen still didn't want to discuss with Lao Zhu how to deal with the officials in Huaixi.

"Hmph, the idea of ​​restricting the general, we just want to hear what's your opinion, Bowen!"

"I still say that, rewards can't be restrained, so don't reward them for now." Liu Bowen said the words of Lao Zhu yesterday without changing a word.

"Let's still say the same thing, let's just say it!" Lao Zhu's face became gloomy.

Liu Bowen fell into deep thought for a moment, he understood that if he had something to say, he would really become a lonely minister.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for your boldness. I think that those arrogant and powerful generals have no merits, and there is no law at all." As for Lao Zhu's statement yesterday that there is a way, Liu Bowen didn't believe it a hundred times.

"Generally, after a dynasty is established, the soldiers he relied on to conquer the world are worthless, and it can even be said that they are useless." Liu Bowen felt hard in his heart, and he didn't care if the words had already been spoken, and turned his head straight. looked at Lao Zhu.

Zhu Biao could see clearly behind the two of them, and Lao Zhu turned his head to look at Liu Bowen twice, which showed that Lao Zhu was actually a little aware of this matter, and when Zhu Biao was about to speak, he saw Lao Zhu turned his head again and straight He stared straight at Liu Bowen.

And Liu Bowen also looked straight at Lao Zhu.

"Continue talking!" Lao Zhu's face remained unchanged.

"Your Majesty, how great are the achievements of those soldiers in conquering the world, and how troublesome they will be when they rule the world. Over the years, they have developed a character that is not afraid of the sky and the earth. They are good at destroying, but not good at building. They have despised poetry and books for many years. , contempt for Tsunaki, and think of himself as the emperor's robes, meritorious deeds are equal to heaven!"

"They think that since the emperor has already ruled the world, they should enjoy it well. Once there is no fighting, can they return to their hometown and farm the land for food? So they think that the court should support them well, Your Majesty, Daming Just after the founding of the country, the people are still living in dire straits, with scorched earth everywhere!"

"There will be no wars in the future, so how can we have the great national power to support them? Once the grace fails, won't they be aggrieved, can they not make trouble? They may even harm the people for profit and cause a mutiny!"

Zhu Biao could feel how determined Liu Bowen was when he said these words. As soon as these words came out, it was doomed that Liu Bowen's team would stand on the opposite side of Huaixi's generals in the future.

Let Zhu Biao stand in the position of the heir of a country. Liu Bowen's words are not unreasonable, but it cannot be said that all of them are right. If a country does not have an army that can fight and win, it will be like trouble. Crossing the market, the consequences of the former Song Dynasty can still be vividly remembered at this time.

There was a harrowing silence.

"Go ahead." A slightly hoarse voice came out of Lao Zhu's mouth. Although Lao Zhu was also surprised by the consequences Liu Bowen said, but Lao Zhu keenly grasped the premise of the consequences Liu Bowen said, "Da Ming has no war to fight", But is the future Daming really hopeless?
Absolutely not. In the future Ming Dynasty, when the people’s livelihood recovers slightly and the Northern Expeditionary Army returns, the war will inevitably start again. It will even be bigger than the Northern Expedition War, and the number of participants will be even greater. Everything depends on when Lao Zhu will use the Great Ming’s luck Open the door to another world.

"Throughout the ages, so many dynasties have been destroyed by arrogant soldiers and powerful generals. This kind of lesson is endless in history!"

"Then according to what you said, what should we do?" Lao Zhu heard that Liu Bowen hadn't finished speaking, and asked directly.

"After the award, it will be abolished immediately. The emperor can learn from what Zhao Kuangyin did, cup. wine. release. soldiers. power." Liu Bowen said the words "cup wine and release soldiers power" word by word, and Lao Zhu fell silent after hearing this.

Zhu Biao, who was following the two of them, wanted to curse at this time, and cursed secretly in his heart: "In the former Song Dynasty, the Zhao family shared the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, and the Song Dynasty paid tribute to people every year in order to protect themselves. In the end, the country was destroyed by the Meng Yuan. How could it be possible?" Go back to the old way."

"Berwin, what if Daming's battle can't be over?" Old Zhu asked again.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible. After the Northern Expedition, Da Ming needs to recuperate and recuperate. We must not start another war lightly! Meng Yuan is doomed to perish, and Da Ming can no longer support another Northern Expedition." Liu Bowen was terrified by Lao Zhu's words. Lao Zhu didn't want to target the current generals of Ming Dynasty, but wanted to fight the war for many years.

If this is the case, wouldn't it mean that the Huaixi generals in the court will be even more powerful.

"Okay, let's talk about this later. You can talk to the prince, and let's go for a walk." Lao Zhu waved his hand and asked Zhu Biao to chat with Liu Bowen.

"Abiding by the order." "Abiding by the order."

"Lord Liu, do you know the consequences of Zhao Kuangyin drinking wine and releasing his military power in the former Song Dynasty?" Zhu Biao said in a bad tone. After all, Zhu Biao knew that after the battle of the God of War in the Ming Dynasty, the court officials once again had the upper hand and began to suppress Xun. Your military general, every battle in the future will be commanded by those civil servants who don't know how to fight.

"Your Highness, you can know how the prosperous Tang Dynasty perished. It was due to the dictatorship of generals, and what caused the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. The removal of the military power of generals is conducive to the central court's rule of the world." Liu Bowen is worthy of Lao Zhu, don't forget Lao Zhu was also born in Huaixi, so Liu Bowen dared to give eye drops to Huaixi generals, let alone Zhu Biao.

"Have Master Liu thought about the consequences of the country being rich but the army weak?"

"But can the prince guarantee that the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty can suppress this group of arrogant soldiers? There is no problem with your majesty, and so is your highness the prince. The grandson can do it?" Liu Bowen continued.

And as soon as these words came out, Zhu Biao also understood that what Liu Bowen said was not wrong at all. For a normal dynasty, what Liu Bowen said was the truth, but unfortunately this Ming Dynasty will never be a normal Ming Dynasty.

"Since Mr. Liu thinks that the royal father can suppress this group of arrogant soldiers, doesn't it mean that as long as the royal father is not dead, or if the palace is not dead, the Ming Dynasty will not be in chaos?" Zhu Biao continued.

"But Your Royal Highness, there is no such thing as immortality for this person. He can only live for more than a hundred years at most, so how can he live forever?" Liu Bowen twitched slightly, but he didn't want to understand what Zhu Biao meant.

"Could it be that His Royal Highness is thinking about immortality right now?" Liu Bowen sighed in his heart, Lao Zhu was still in his prime, and Zhu Biao, who was not the emperor, started thinking about immortality.
