After Zhu Youxiao walked around the military camp, he took Cao Bianjiao back to the palace. He arranged Cao Bianjiao by his side. As long as it was about military strategy, Cao Bianjiao was never absent.
Zhu Youxiao would often ask questions to test him. If something he said was incorrect or lacking, he would patiently explain it to him.
The Ming Dynasty has never lacked so-called famous generals. Compared with the last years of many dynasties, the famous generals of the Ming Dynasty are like a heavenly group.
The reason why Zhu Youxiao wanted to bring Cao Bianjiao into the palace was to give him the best resources to train him into a truly world-beating general, just like Huo Qubing.
He was determined to revitalize the Ming Dynasty and expand the territory. These few generals who only meet once in a hundred years to conquer the world lacked some meaning.
Although Zhu Youxiao did not dare to compare with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Bianjiao may not be able to compare with war gods like Huo Qubing, people always have to strive for the highest point to achieve.
Over time, everyone knew that the emperor valued this young man very much. Even Mrs. Liu was shocked when she heard this. The emperor really did whatever he wanted.
The ministers outside the palace were even more furious after hearing this. They were really dissatisfied that a junior military attache with such a low status could have such an honor.
They once again used this as an excuse to impeach the emperor, hoping that the emperor would expel him from the palace immediately.
Zhu Youxiao didn't even read their memorial, but handed it over to Wang Chaofu to be burned outside. As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind.
But Zhu Youxiao's silence caused these civil servants to push their limits. They thought the emperor was being unreasonable in this matter, and they even got together to congratulate each other.
Several officials tentatively went to kneel down outside the Meridian Gate to remonstrate. Seeing that the emperor was still unmoved, many people became bolder again.
More than thirty officials joined in the kneeling remonstrance with memorials in hand. They knelt from morning to night, seeming to be determined not to give up until the goal was achieved.
Zhu Youxiao now understands his grandfather a little bit. Maybe this is one of the reasons why he has not been in court for more than 20 years. Where can he get so much energy from fighting with these people every day?
"Long live the Lord, do you want me to arrest them and send them to prison?"
When it comes to who has the greatest enmity with the civil servants, I'm afraid it has to be Wei Zhongxian. It's okay for him to have been bullied when he was a young eunuch.
But after he was promoted to the eunuch Bingbi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, and the governor of the East Factory, these civil servants still didn't take him seriously. He spent a lot of money to get them to mention a few words, but they actually scolded his ancestors for eighteen generations in public.
In winter, they were even splashed with cold water.
In the past, he may have been ordered by the emperor to punish them severely, but since this incident, a seed of revenge was planted in his heart.
Aren't you arrogant and arrogant? Then our family will make you miserable and lose face in front of the world.
"No need, let them go. Since they want to become famous, why don't I help them!"
Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly. These people only had a small amount of property. They might add up to hundreds of thousands of taels, but it was too little for him. He was too lazy to do anything to them. The pig still had to be fattened up.
kill.
Now that the weather is so hot, these people can hold on for at least one day despite the weather, and by then they will disperse on their own.
The specific matters of the army's establishment have been very mature. He does not need to worry about too many things next, as long as he takes it step by step and trains well. However, the establishment of the two major divisions is still very crude.
Especially for the important Logistics Department, Wang Tigan is responsible for all matters, large and small. Most of the errands below are eunuchs, and the heavy work is handled by the auxiliary barracks.
This is not possible. Army logistics is particularly important. There is a saying in later generations that war is about national strength, logistics and intelligence. The national strength of Ming Dynasty is naturally much stronger than that of Mongolia.
I have also paid attention to this intelligence aspect. I have left capable Tiqi in several key places. There are also law enforcement teams composed of Tiqi and Fanzi in the army. This confidentiality work has also reached the highest level in this era, but this logistics may not be .
The territory of the Ming Dynasty was much larger than theirs, and the army would have to travel hundreds or thousands of miles to fight in front of their homes. If there was a problem with this logistics, I am afraid it would collapse before the war started.
This logistics system must be improved, and those post stations can be utilized. Using the post stations as a stronghold, the transportation line from the capital to Liaodong must be completely opened and revitalized. In the future, it will be much easier for the army to go out and fight.
Just when he was about to send Tiqi to investigate, he discovered another problem, that is, there were not enough Tiqi and Fanzi.
Jinyiwei and Dongchang were very busy during this period. Since he came to the throne, he has mobilized and appointed these two yamen on a large scale. Jiubian, Liaodong, Shandong, and Jiangnan have all sent a large number of Tiqi and fans.
Moreover, because of the need to track down the ministers of household affairs during the Wanli period, nearly half of the Jinyiwei's manpower was dispersed. The total number of Tiqi in Fusi in Beizhen was only a thousand, which was really not enough.
Many people think that the Jinyiwei are omnipotent spies, but this is not the case. Beizhen Fusi and Dongchang are the real spy agencies, and the world-famous imperial prison is under their control.
Jinyiwei and Beizhen Fusi are two departments. Jinyiwei is strictly a guard station. It is the same as other pro-military guards, except that their responsibilities are more important. They are stationed in the imperial city and are responsible for travel honors and the emperor's protection.
Supervising officials and arresting criminals are all the responsibility of Tiqi. Ordinary Jinyi guards do not have such great rights.
During the Chenghua period, the Tiqi boss of Fusi in Beizhen had a higher status than the commander of the Jinyiwei. He could directly report all matters to the Chenghua Emperor, while the commander of the Jinyiwei was reduced to a false position, only worthy of running errands.
And those ordinary Jin Yiwei are even more incomparable with Tiqi. You, a member of hundreds of Jin Yiwei, may have to bow when you meet the small flag officer of Fusi in Beizhen.
Those who truly have the ability to kill first and report later, and those who are arrested and imprisoned, are Tiqi. Tiqi is the soul and mainstay of the Imperial Guard, the eyes and ears of the emperor, and they are the real spies and spies.
The number of these Tiqi must be increased, otherwise there will be no one to use them.
"Yang Huan, transfer some people from Jinyiwei to Fusi, Beizhen, and find some senior Tiqi to teach them. The more the better!"
"I obey the decree!"
Xu Xianchun was sent to Shanxi by Zhu Youxiao, and the Jinyiwei has been replaced by Yang Huan.
"The fans in Dongchang can't be idle either. Wei Zhongxian, you go outside and take in some orphans. They are above twelve and below sixteen. These people must be smart and intelligent. If you train them well, they will be useful to me in the future!"
"We must hide our eyes from others and keep it as secret as possible!"
"My slave obeys the order!"
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but think of Cui Yingyuan at this time. He had been in Shandong for more than half a year, and he didn't know what progress had been made regarding the Kong family and the White Lotus Sect.
