Comprehensive martial arts: Summon Li Chungang and ask Wu Zetian for advice

Chapter 185 Disposal of surrendering the army
And in this palace.

Zhu Houzhao sat on the high platform with a calm expression.

In front of him were intelligence gathered from all parties, as well as congratulations from various civil and military officials.

In fact, such a result surprised him.Although he thought Daming would win this battle, he did not expect that this battle would be won so easily and so quickly.

But this is fine, destroy Dayuan with the power of thunder, so as to prevent other countries from reacting and getting in the way.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, His Majesty!"

"Now that the Great Yuan has been destroyed, His Majesty's major concern has been completely eliminated."

Zhu Wulan took a step forward with a respectful expression, and felt sincerely happy for Zhu Houzhao in his heart.

Now he no longer covets the imperial power, he only thinks about resurrecting Su Xin and opening up territory for the Ming Dynasty.

In the final analysis, he still has the blood of the Zhu family in his body, hoping that the Ming Dynasty will become rich and powerful and dominate the world.

"Ok!"

Zhu Houzhao looked at his imperial uncle and nodded with satisfaction.

He saw with his own eyes how Zhu Wuwu transformed from a treacherous villain to a truly courageous prince of the Ming Dynasty step by step.

Nowadays, Zhu Wuwu obeys his advice and works extremely seriously, which also makes him very satisfied.

But even so, he did not lose himself under the flattery of civil and military officials.

Being prepared for danger in times of peace is what an emperor should do.

In this battle with Dayuan, Daming seemed to win very beautifully, showing his invincibility and shocking the world.

But that is the same as before, only on the land and heavenly level.

In essence, nothing has changed, and Ming Dynasty still has huge shortcomings.

Especially in this war, it is undoubtedly exposed.

By the time the 30-strong imperial army arrived on the battlefield, the war was already over and the day lilies were already cold.

Zhuge Zheng is very familiar with me, and he will not be ignorant of the seriousness of this matter.

He also used many methods, but he could not even complete the emergency march, which is enough to imagine how weak the Ming army was.

I'm afraid that nowadays, except for the [-] new troops under Chen Zhibao, who are still capable of fighting, the rest are just rice bags made with wine.

What's more important is that these 30 forbidden troops are not other troops, but the emperor's guards.

Under his eyes, Zhu Houzhao, these forbidden troops were so weak, let alone the local defenders.

I'm afraid they are worse than wine sacks and rice sacks.

This shows how weak the Ming army's combat strength is now.

It is understandable that Ming Dynasty could fall into this situation.

However, he also understood that the decadence of Ming Dynasty was not created overnight.

After all, the sergeants below are just trying to survive.

Instead of holding them accountable now and making a fuss among people, it is better to rebuild from the ground up and build a new Ming army.

Although doing so will consume a lot of manpower, material resources and time, the Ming Dynasty needs this right now to carry out a bottom-breaking reform.

While Zhu Houzhao was deep in thought, Zhu Wuliang said: "Your Majesty, I have a letter from General Chen Zhibao. I would like to ask you what to do with the 50-yuan general Chen Zhibao."

Dayuan had nearly a million troops, but only about half of them actually died.

More people were frightened by the methods of Wang Xianzhi and other land gods, their military morale was in chaos, and they surrendered.

A large part of this batch of surrendered generals were survivors after Wang Xianzhi flooded his army.

Although Dayuan has won now, where the 50 surrendered generals will go is a big problem.

If there were only tens of thousands of people, no one would care if they were killed casually.

But now this is 50 people, 50 living lives.

Once this issue is not handled well, it will definitely cause a big mess and give other countries a chance to talk.

But if these 50 troops are left behind, how to feed these 50 troops is another question.So now Ming Dynasty is in a dilemma, whether to kill or not to kill.

Even he couldn't think of a suitable solution for a while.

However, just when he was frowning, Zhu Houzhao chuckled lightly.

"How difficult is this!"

He had already anticipated this problem before the war started. Yun Danfeng said lightly: "All those 50 troops will stay, but they will not be allowed to step into the Ming Dynasty in this life!"

"what?!"

"Keep them all?!"

Hearing this, Zhu Wuli's pupils shrank suddenly and he looked at Zhu Houzhao in disbelief.

He originally thought that according to Zhu Houzhao's character, he should kill them all and eradicate them.

It is precisely because of this that he has already been prepared to give advice.

But now Zhu Houzhao actually said to keep them all, which made the draft in his heart completely useless.

He took a deep breath, looked at Zhu Houzhao in surprise, and couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, if you leave all this behind, I'm afraid it will cause a big burden!"

However, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Keeping them is far more beneficial to Ming Dynasty than killing them."

"I have a more important purpose in keeping them."

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?!"

Zhu Wuwu frowned, filled with doubts and couldn't understand why Zhu Houzhao made such a decision.

In his opinion, feeding 50 people is not an easy task.This number is huge and unimaginable. It not only requires a large amount of food and resources, but also requires corresponding arrangements and management.

Nowadays, Ming Dynasty has finally enriched its national treasury and changed its fiscal deficit situation.

If we really want to feed these 50 Yuan people and make Ming Dynasty fall into decline, then the gain will not be worth the loss.

Even if you want to keep them, you shouldn't keep them all, you should kill some of them.

"Why do you really think I attacked Dayuan?"

Looking at the frowning and puzzled Zhu Wu, Zhu Houzhao smiled and continued: "I know what you are worried about, but you are worrying too much!"

"Worry?!"

Zhu ignored his doubts and raised his head. Seeing Zhu Houzhao's indifferent expression, he became even more confused.

"Who said that Ming must support these 50 people?!"

Zhu Houzhao suddenly turned around, put his hands behind his back, and said calmly: "The reason why I left these 50 troops is for the sake of Ming Dynasty."

"First of all, this time Dayuan can be said to have come out in full force. These 50 troops can be regarded as the entire remaining population of Dayuan."

"What benefit does a desolate, deserted grassland bring to the Ming Dynasty?

Secondly, we must know that the technology of maintaining grasslands and cultivating excellent horses is still in the hands of Dayuan. If you kill them, such skills will be cut off. "

"Instead of killing them, it would be more worthwhile to let them breed excellent war horses for my Ming Dynasty."

"But Your Majesty?"

After hearing what Zhu Houzhao said, Zhu Wuli couldn't help but want to say.

However, before he could finish speaking, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, interrupted him, and said lightly: "As for bringing down the Ming Dynasty, it is even more nonsense."

"I intend to break up these 50 troops into various tribes. Each tribe will be directly ruled by the Ming Dynasty's military headquarters, which possesses absolute force."

"These tribes must pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year and provide war horses. For the tribes that did not pay tribute, troops were sent to annihilate them directly."

"In this way, the 50-strong army will not only not bring down Ming Dynasty, but will provide Ming Dynasty with a steady stream of wealth and resources."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Zhu Wuwu lowered his head tightly and said respectfully.
