In the main hall of the General Secretary's Yamen, the civil servants were silent, while the meritorious military generals made great noises and spoke vigorously.

Zhu Yunxi looked at these civil servants silently.

Not allowing Yingtian to have a shortage of troops is just one of the most obvious reasons among these people's reasons.

What they prefer is to solve the current problems through civilian means, rather than letting the military play a decisive role.

Qiu Ba should fight the enemy to the death on the battlefield.

This is the view and subconscious common understanding of civilian officials towards the military since the pre-Song Dynasty.

If the issues encountered by the imperial court have to be solved by officers and soldiers, where will the dignity of these civil servants be put?

Now, Zhu Yunxi knew very well that the current problems could be solved without the Beijing army, but he just wanted to let these civil servants know that even without them, the Ming Dynasty could solve the problems it encountered.

Ru Yu, who had not spoken for a while and only knelt down without seconding, silently raised her head at this time.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Ever since Mu Ying and the others came in, he had a premonition.

It’s snowing now, too

If Sun asked these people to come, they wouldn't be trying to conquer the outside world.

Ru Yu raised her head and spoke in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please tell me whether to use the Beijing army or not. Can we wait until the grain stored in the warehouse in Hangzhou arrives in Yingtian before making a decision? Although there is heavy snowfall in the south of the Yangtze River at the moment, and I can't stop wanting to, but the season has changed.

Nothing can be explained by ordinary people.

Your Highness is worried about the hardships of the people, and so are your ministers. If Your Highness is determined to use the Beijing army, can you only dispatch 30,000 to 20,000 officers and soldiers to accompany the warships transporting grain and grass to the warehouse in Hangzhou? After the shipment, they will first go to Songjiang Prefecture and other places

Transporting food and grass ashore."

Rujun chose the next best way to ease the conflict...

Instead of immediately mobilizing hundreds of thousands of Beijing officers and soldiers, only 20,000 to 30,000 Beijing troops will be sent to the warehouse in Hangzhou to transport grain and grass, and they will disembark from Songjiang Prefecture and other places to clear official roads and transport grain and grass.

His reasons are clear.

No one knows when this snow will stop.

Maybe, the snow will stop tomorrow?

At that time, only 20,000 to 30,000 Beijing troops will be mobilized. After the snow stops and the local government roads are cleared, there is no need to worry about the situation remaining the same overnight. The local government will also have manpower to cooperate with the court's grain transport ships.

Receive grain and grass on both sides of the Yangtze River.

As for the problem of snow melting and official roads eroding after the snow stops.

Ru Yu glanced at the back of her hand, which was a little purple. This damn cold temperature probably won't get warmer until spring.

It’s not that the Beijing army cannot be used, but how much it should be used, what role the court will play in it, and what position the civil servants will be in.

Zhai Shan and others also raised their heads at this time.

Rujun gave them a more stable plan that was also full of compromises.

Zhai Shan immediately shouted: "This policy of the Ministry of War is a great benefit. It will save the people from the wind and snow. It does not need to make the officers and soldiers work in boats and chariots, and they can move according to the time. I second my opinion."

After Zhai Shan made his position clear.

The remaining civil servants shouted in unison again: "I second my opinion."

Zhu Yunxi hummed silently, then turned to look at Mu Ying, who was wearing a military uniform, and saw a slight smile on his face.

He could only nod his head and said: "Since all the ministers think this policy is a good one, I will follow their advice. The Beijing army will dispatch 20,000 troops and horses, and go down with the ship to transport grain and grass to the warehouse in Hangzhou. Another 10,000 troops and horses will be sent.

, divided into Shouzhou, Ningxiang, and Pingxiang coal mines for mining and transportation."

Mu Ying and other meritorious military generals immediately said: "The last general takes orders."

Zhai Shan, Ru Yu and other civil servants knew that it was impossible not to use every soldier of the Beijing army. Now this is the safest compromise strategy.

Then they all said in unison: "My grandson is kind and wise."

This first test of civil servants yielded some gains and some compromises.

Zhu Yunxi knew in his heart that this was the inevitable result.

It is impossible for civilian officials to hand over the power of herdsmen to the military, just as the military has never been willing to be lower than civilian officials.

He waved his hand and said: "Let's all go and do our work. This is a difficult time. You all should work together to overcome the difficulties and maintain the peace of the people."

"I respect your teachings."

……

"My father-in-law, when do you think this snow will stop?"

After leaving the general affairs envoy Si Yamen, all the officials dispersed. Zhu Yunxi left Mu Ying behind, and the two of them walked towards the palace under the protection of a group of forbidden troops.

Mu Ying looked up at Feixue, who had stopped briefly since last night, and shook her head: "I don't know the calendar, and when I march and set up formations, I always end up with the worst possible outcome when facing the enemy.

Make plans.

If this snowfall this winter can stop within the next three to five days, it will be a good thing, and Your Highness can handle it smoothly.

If the snow continues for a long time, His Highness may not only have to mobilize most of the Beijing troops in Beijing and transport grain, grass and money from the two large warehouses in Hangzhou and Huai'an, but also prepare for the situation after the snow melts in the spring of next year."

Zhu Yunxi shook his head helplessly: "I asked Qin Tianjian, they think the snow will last at least until the cold moon comes, or even in the middle of the cold moon. After that, they can't guarantee it."…

Mu Ying was stunned for a moment, stopped and lowered her head

He stretched out his head and kicked the snow in front of him: "It has been snowing for a month. The people may have food to eat, but what about their clothes, blankets and firewood? Today, I and the generals agreed on the 30,000 officers and soldiers who would leave the capital, and then they agreed that the entire army in the capital should come together."

Make preparations in advance for the regulations to be issued."

Zhu Yunxi nodded and smiled at Mu Ying: "It's as it should be! The times are difficult, and the Beijing army has to rely on his father-in-law and uncle Tang's family for everything."

"This is my duty."

Zhu Yunxi turned around, looked at Mu Ying, and suddenly said seriously: "My father-in-law, maybe you also don't understand why I want to use the Beijing army to relieve the disaster. Or you may think that I am using you to suppress the civil servants."

Mu Ying was stunned for a moment, her eyes shifted slightly, and she did not speak, but she already made it clear that this was what she thought.

Zhu Yunxi smiled, this is human nature, most people would think so.

However, he still explained: "The imperial court has 100,000 soldiers and horses of the direct military guards, 200,000 soldiers of the Beijing Army, and more than 1 million local guards and border troops under the control of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. They are the interests of the Ming Dynasty.

The sword and the strong shield are the basis for our Ming Dynasty to dominate the Central Plains."

Zhu Yunxi's tone gradually became heavier, and his eyes flickered like a torch.

"However, although they are officers and soldiers of the garrison, they are also my subjects of the Ming Dynasty, and they also come from those common people. It is better to say that they are soldiers of my Zhu family and soldiers under you generals. It is better to say that they are common people of the world.

The disciple soldiers."

Mu Ying was shocked. Such rebellious remarks never occurred to him that they would come from the mouth of his son-in-law, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.

"Disciple soldiers..."

Mu Ying lost her voice.

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "They are my descendants of the Ming Dynasty! In ancient times, there were eight thousand descendants of Xiang Yu from Jiangdong, who could defeat the Qin Dynasty and compete with the emperor of the Han Dynasty in the Chu-Han conflict. Now, these soldiers of my Ming Dynasty descendants come from all over the world and are chosen among the people.

.

They see how the imperial court governs and how the Zhu family governs. I, the Zhu family and the imperial court, treat the people well, hide their troops in front of the people, and transform into children to help the people in disasters.

The people should be able to see it, and the officers and soldiers should also be among them. After the Ming Dynasty, no matter how difficult it is, these people, even if they are very old, will definitely take out the rusty armor of the past to protect the country.

Danger."

Muying felt something was shaking, and some understanding began to form.

However, now he simply cannot explain what it is.

After a long time, Mu Ying could only use the words of an old friend to express what she meant today: "Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. Love the people, and the people will support you."

Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly: "That's the truth."

Then, he raised his head and saw that the majestic Imperial City Palace Gate was already in front of him.

"It's time for my father-in-law to return to camp.".
