But in addition, a series of problems such as the control of the military government by the nobles, internal corruption, the continuous decline of the military government, the occupation of military villages, and the abolition of military discipline are all one of the reasons.

Moreover, there were also the biases of the emperors of the past dynasties. The influence of major events such as the Civil War accumulated and gradually formed the situation in the late Ming Dynasty.

Once this situation is formed, the most serious consequence is that military generals will weaken and it will be difficult to have famous generals. Even if there are, it will often be difficult to end well.

From Zhu Qiyu's point of view, after his eldest nephew, the only ones who were truly soldiers and could be called famous generals were Qi Jiguang and Li Rusong. The rest, Yu Dayou and Li Chengliang could barely look past them.

As for the others, although they are called famous generals, most of them come from a rich background and may be good at strategy and military use, but they may not really be called generals.

After all, as a general, you have to go to the battlefield to fight. Although there are a few literati like Wang Yangming who are both civil and military, after all, most of them are not from martial arts background.

Even if this is the case, then on the battlefield, they cannot take the lead, and are more accustomed to hiding behind the formation and commanding from behind.

However, as long as you carefully read the history books, you will find that the soul of an army lies in its generals. Bai Qi of Qin, Wei Huo of Han, Qin Cheng of Tang, and Yue Fei of Song were all brave on the battlefield, fighting one against ten or even more. One against a hundred.

Only such generals can lead a bloody and fighting army.

During the Hongwu and Yongle years of the Ming Dynasty, there were also such people, such as Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu, and even Emperor Taizong himself, who were all capable of leading an army into battle single-handedly.

But as the stars of the older generation fade away, it is difficult for such people to appear again.

Or to be more precise, it’s not that it’s hard to appear, but that it’s hard to get the status it deserves.

Let's just say that a person like Qi Jiguang would definitely shine brightly if he were in the troubled times of the late Yuan Dynasty, even if it was the troubled times of the late Yuan Dynasty, even in the Yongle period.

However, born in an era when culture was prosperous and military was weak, even if he reached the peak of what a military commander could achieve, he still had to rely on civil servants.

He was able to display his talents without reservation, not because his own status was high enough, but because there was a Zhang Taiyue in the court who protected him and used him to wipe out the Japanese pirates.

However, when Zhang Juzheng fell, such a general, even with such military exploits, could only be dismissed and returned home.

In the final analysis, it is actually because the status of military generals in the late Ming Dynasty was too low. If Qi Jiguang could have the status of Yang Hong today, then he himself was a towering tree, so why did he need to be dependent on anyone?

The momentum of using civil servants to control military forces must be stopped. Otherwise, if there are no strong generals in the army, there will naturally be no morale, and the officers and soldiers will have no fighting capacity, so how can they protect the homeland and the country.

No matter how much you practice, it is actually not as effective as on the battlefield, when your own general takes the lead and charges with a single cavalry.

Therefore, this situation in the military government is bound to not last long.

However, Zhu Qiyu only had a vague idea of ​​how to change it, but he did not have a clear idea of ​​how to do it.

This is also the reason why he has not taken action yet. The military government is in charge of the military affairs, which is the core organization among the military officials. If it is not handled properly, the consequences may be much more serious than other reforms of the imperial court.

However, no matter how we move, there is nothing wrong with balancing the forces in the General's Mansion first.

The good thing about Zhu Yi's approach is that it is the only way to rectify the military government. If the military government is always the direct descendants of those big families, then no matter which direction Zhu Qiyu wants to carry out reforms, he will

Not an easy task.

Only the more factions there are in the military government, the easier it will be to reform.

Looking up at the moonlight, a trace of worry flashed across Zhu Qiyu's face, but he finally calmed down and said.

"Let Qingfeng tell Zhu Yi that as long as his original intention is to serve the Ming Dynasty and balance civil and military affairs, and as long as he does not do anything sinister, he can go ahead and do it. If something goes wrong, I will take care of the consequences."

"yes……"

Shu Liang lowered his head in response and hurried down to deliver the message.

In Zhu Qiyu's heart, there was a little more expectation. Since Zhu Yi is a talent, let's see what step he can take.
