I'm a big dick

Chapter 546
This is what Wu Yongxian and Mao Wenlong thought of, but the emperor had a saying that "the army and the people are in love with fish and water".

However, it is a bit too advanced to say this now.The discipline of the Ming army was very unbearable in the past, and there were many things like looting and killing good people.

That is to say, after Dongjiang opened the town and established martial arts, military discipline was continuously cleaned up.Because of the power of the Military Law Department, even the head coach is not allowed to interfere.The military judges of the various towns were sent by the emperor himself and could report directly to the emperor.

Of course, even if military discipline improves, it is far from the people's army in the emperor's mind.

In the reconstruction of Liaodong, the emperor just wanted to rebuild the army and have a closer relationship with the common people.

Of course, whether it is farming, or building roads and houses, the army has merit points records, or preferential policies to encourage.For example, one mu is given to ten mu cultivated, or to family members, or calculated together when retiring.

Therefore, the army will not have conflicts and grind foreign workers, and Mao Wenlong also feels that he will definitely be able to exceed the stipulated quantity.After all, if the task is completed well, it will be beneficial to the court at the top, and it will also be beneficial to the soldiers at the bottom.

"Thank you, Mao Shuai." Wu Yong first got the promise and guarantee, and cupped his hands to express his gratitude.

No matter who leads the Liaodong army, he must act in accordance with the emperor's will, and Wu Yongxian is very sure of this.But prior communication is also necessary.Civil and military disharmony, the emperor took it very seriously and would never allow it.

"Your Majesty Wu is polite." Mao Wenlong bowed his hand and returned the salute, thinking that the emperor should be satisfied after passing Wu Yongxian's test.

The separation of military and government seems to have freed generals from the restraint of civilian officials.But in fact, the final military pay and food must be resolved locally, that is, controlled in a disguised form.

From the opening of Dongjiang Town, military command, salary, and military law were separated from each other, forming a restrictive relationship.

Now, with the reconstruction of Liaodong, Mao Wenlong can predict that the payment and food will gradually fall into the hands of local officials.

Skimping must be unlikely.The emperor has been improving the social status of the soldiers. With such an attitude, no civil official would dare to disobey.

But the delay is justified. As long as there are suitable reasons, such as poor harvests, or other difficulties, the court will not convict.

In short, a good relationship is beneficial and harmless.Mao Wenlong saw this very clearly.

In fact, Wu Yongxian and Mao Wenlong had the same thoughts, and the emperor even told them face to face.As long as Liaodong is well governed and the future is bright, he also has the same goal.

More importantly, Wu Yong first knew the reason why he was appointed as the governor of Liaodong by the emperor, that is, he had self-knowledge.

After reading two military books, I feel that I can strategize and win thousands of miles, and I feel that I should be above warriors.Just like Wang Huazhen, who felt that she was great, but in the end she was killed by her arrogance.

Xiong Tingbi is one of those who dare to claim that he is both civil and military, and that he is genuine.He is both a martial artist and a civil scholar.Who dares to say otherwise?
But from Wu Yongxian's point of view, it is because Xiong has both civil and military skills that he probably cannot stay in Liaodong.

The reason is very simple, the real all-rounder in civil and military affairs is still guarding the frontier, can the emperor rest assured?

"I heard that Long Live is going to change the system of conferring titles. I wonder if it's true or not?" Mao Wenlong and Wu Yongxian discussed for a while before asking tentatively.

Wu Yong first smiled and said: "I don't know the details, but Long Live does have this intention."

Mao Wenlong's eyes lit up for a moment, he changed the subject without further questioning, and chatted with Wu Yongxian again.

"Zhang Pan, He Kegang, Huanglong..." The emperor's pen paused, as if thinking, and then continued to add names, "Cao Bianjiao, Huang Degong..."

These are the generals who will stay in Liaodong, or Dongjiang Town.

And people like Mao Chenglu, Kong Youde and others will be transferred to the towns on the nine sides to strengthen the strength of the entire northern defense line.

Although he trusted Mao Wenlong, or even more trusted the current supervision and restraint mechanism, the emperor did not want to leave Dongjiang Town with the environment and opportunity to establish a mountain.

Those who remain are the loyal and brave generals whom the emperor trusts more, while many of Mao Wenlong's cronies whom the emperor considers will be transferred away.

I'm not afraid that Mao Wenlong will have any resistance. Maybe this arrangement makes him feel more at ease, without the suspicion of being a soldier, and he is not worried that Dongjiang Town will be attacked by civil officials as "Mao's army".

As for Mao Chenglu, Kong Youde and others, would they be dissatisfied?
After being promoted, he took the model troops, or teaching teams, to other border towns to become the main force to fight against the northern captives, and he had more opportunities to make contributions.

Besides, what does it matter if you are dissatisfied?Among the current generals of the Ming army, especially the generals of Liaodong, there are too many capable and loyal ones, and the emperor has no worries at all.

"My lord, Mr. Sun is called to meet you outside." Wang Tiqian didn't dare to disturb him, and he didn't bow down to report until the emperor stopped and stood up straight.

The emperor waved his hands and simply ordered: "Xuan!"

Sun Chengzong entered the hall and paid homage to see him. Before the full ceremony, the emperor had given him his seat.

"Long live, when will the text of the Ministry of War be issued to start the transfer of generals and troops?" Sun Chengzong bowed and asked for instructions.

The emperor picked up the transfer list he had written, and a palace official took it and passed it on to Sun Chengzong.

After Sun Chengzong quickly read it, he had no disagreement.In his opinion, Ping Liao was successful, and these generals performed well.No matter how you arrange it, there is no big problem.

"Master Sun." The emperor smiled and said, "How is the preparation of the Admiralty? The Liaodong War has come to an end, and it's time to speed up the implementation."

The navy is the emperor's new definition of the Daming navy. From this new term, it can be seen that the emperor's emphasis on the navy is in a parallel relationship with the army.

Sun Chengzong also knew the emperor's favor for the navy. Even when the Liaodong war was in full swing, the investment in the navy had not been interrupted.

Although he didn't quite understand it, he felt that with the current strength of the Daming Navy, it was enough to resist foreign enemies.But since the emperor wants to strengthen the navy, the court finances allow it, and the Ministry of War has no reason to obstruct it.

"Back to Long Live, the Ministry of the Navy is stepping up its preparations, but compared with the Army, the selection of generals is more difficult." Sun Chengzong said truthfully.

The emperor pondered for a while, and said: "The navy has not had any actual combat in the past few years. Except for a few veterans, it is indeed difficult to judge the ability of young officers. But I believe in Shen Yourong, so let's arrange according to his recommendation list!"

For admirals, the emperor is indeed very strange.

In his memory, apart from Shen Yourong who was already sixty years old, the Zheng brothers were more capable of fighting.But history has changed, and it is difficult for him to judge those former fierce generals, even if they have a few familiar names.
