After he retreated, Yunxi took a sip of tea, leaned back on the chair to rest, and told Wang Xi: "Go and take care of Mei Yin, Sun Ke, and Zhang Wen. Zhang Wen is still sick now, even if he is not sick."
It’s okay to wait until the war is over and return to the capital. Call Mei Yin and Sun Ke over. I have something to give them.”
Wang Xi agreed and went down; not long after, Mei Yin and Sun Ke arrived, saluted Yun He and said, "I have seen your Majesty, Mei Yin (Sun Ke)."
"Get up." Yunxi said with a smile: "Although I was not tired just now, I still feel more comfortable leaning on it. Let's not talk about so many etiquettes. Let's just do it. You guys sit down and talk."
Of course, Mei Yin and Sun Ke would not accuse Yun Xi out of their wits. That would be the way of a single-minded official, and to accuse the emperor, he would have to sit upright and do what he did. Neither of them have this setting, so they still don't
It's annoying.
The two of them pushed around for a while and sat half-assed on the chair, waiting for Yunxi's instructions.
"Sun Ke, I want to set up a new guard post in the capital. It will be under the name of the Chinese Army Governor's Palace and you will be in charge of it."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Sun Ke immediately asked: "I wonder what the name of this guard is, and how many thousand households are there?"
"The name will be called Baiyi Guards, and the organization has not yet been determined."
"Your Majesty, since the name is called Baiyi Guard, many barbarians must be incorporated into this guard, and they will not be locals in the capital, so their houses need to be arranged. In addition, the school ground must also be prepared. I don't know how many people there are. These
It’s difficult to arrange.”
"I also know, but I am not sure how many people there are in this guard. You can start with five thousand people, but there must be open space near the camp to prepare for expansion."
Yunxi looked at Sun Ke's puzzled look and said: "Although this guard is called Baiyi Guard, most of the soldiers who will be included in this guard will be Fusang people. How many Fusang warriors will be willing to serve the Ming Dynasty?"
I don’t know, so I can’t determine the number of people.”
"Your Majesty is thinking of recruiting the Fusang people because of their bravery in the Battle of Pingzhang?" Sun Ke guessed it immediately.
Yunxi nodded: "Exactly. These Fuso warriors are so good at fighting. It's a pity to let them live on a small island. It just so happens that Zhu Hengshi is also willing to recruit other people he knows to serve the Ming Dynasty, so I set up such a guard station.
"
"Zhu Hengshi?" Sun Ke was confused.
"Oh, since I plan to reuse him, I can't let him use this name despite me, so I gave him the name Zhu Hengshi." Yunxi explained.
When he heard that Yunxi had given me Laiye's name, Sun Ke suddenly thought of something and said, "Your Majesty, although I am from Fusang, my identity is indeed unknown. Besides, Hu Hancang committed suicide privately the day before yesterday. I may not be able to believe it."
"Besides, if he is allowed to go to Fusang to recruit warriors, will it cause dissatisfaction to the monarch of Fusang? It is only a few thousand soldiers. It is not good for Fusang to be dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty for this trivial matter. I am afraid it will delay His Majesty's plan in Fusang."
Yunxi smiled and did not answer. Firstly, he alone knew my identity and did not need to tell others; secondly, recruiting Fuso warriors was not a trivial matter. At the very least, it could greatly reduce the damage to the Ming Dynasty soldiers.
Speaking more broadly, Fuso's country is now stable and many samurai have no place to use and are impoverished. In order to make a better living, it is normal to "go to sea" and become pirates. If he recruits a samurai here, he will have one less pirate, which saves the navy a lot of trouble. Yes
It is of great significance to construct a feudal harmonious society and the Great Eastern Co-Prosperity Sphere.
Sun Ke wanted to say something more, but Mei Yin pulled him gently; Sun Ke was not stupid and stopped immediately.
"Mei Yin, you must cooperate with Sun Ke to prepare all these. The allocation of money, food and weapons cannot be neglected. Although most Fusang people bring their own swords, many must be prepared for them." Yunxi pretended not to see them.
Action, again.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Mei Yin agreed.
Yunxi gave a few more instructions on the matter, and then changed the subject and said: "Sun Ke, since you mentioned Zhu Hengshi's private murder of me, I will tell you that you will also tell Li Jian when you go back, I won't
To hold him accountable, the matter was concealed and it was claimed that Hu Hancang died of fear."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Sun Ke agreed.
Yunxi nodded, and immediately talked about another thing, which was also the most important thing for him to find the two of them.
"Sun Qing, Mei Shangshu, during this campaign in Annan, there were many meritorious soldiers, especially many ordinary soldiers who also fought hard for the Ming Dynasty. I feel a lot."
"Of course generals are very important when leading troops to fight, but they also need soldiers under their command. Although Chen Shou said in "Three Kingdoms" that Zhuge Wuhou was not good at fighting, Jin Xuan (Sima Yi), who was praised many times by him, faced Wu
The Marquis has never won any battles, so it can be seen that Jin Xuan is not as good as Wu Marquis."
"But Wuhou still couldn't defeat Jin Xuan. In addition to Jin Xuan's careful use of troops, it was also because Jin Xuan had many more troops than Wuhou. Even a small defeat would not harm the overall situation. However, Shuhan had few soldiers and a small defeat would be unbearable."
"So ordinary soldiers are also very important. I don't think we can just give them a few bucks and just send them away. We need to reward them seriously."
Sun Ke and Mei Yin looked at each other and said, "Your Majesty, this is the right thing to do, but how can we seriously reward them?" We can't all be granted hereditary titles. Even if we only grant 100 households and more than 2 million people, the country
It will also go bankrupt.
"First, starting from this year's local selection of Jiangwu Hall students, that is, those who will enroll next year, the people recommended by each province must have three ordinary soldiers and three from thousands of families."
"Second, strictly assess the system of merit, determine the responsibilities of military commanders at each level, and do not receive credit for things that are not in line with their responsibilities. Let me give you an example. For example, if a commander kills many enemy soldiers with his own hands, he cannot receive credit, because killing the enemy with his own hands is not important.
In most cases, it is not the commander's responsibility."
Sun Ke and Mei Yin nodded, but they didn't think these two items would have much effect. The emperors of the previous dynasties had done similar things. They attached great importance to promoting small soldiers and strictly rewarded and punished them.
When people die and government ceases to exist, it cannot last long.
But when Yunxi came up with the third point, both of them looked surprised.
"Your Majesty, this, this is inappropriate, Your Majesty!" Mei Yin immediately said: "Your Majesty, if you give such tokens to ordinary soldiers, the people may get into trouble and it will be difficult to control them."
"Why is it difficult to control it? Military law is not included in it, so it doesn't matter; as for civil affairs, the people who get the tokens are the soldiers of the guard station, and they are not allowed to grow out of the guard station on weekdays. Besides, a token is only useful once, and the soldiers are not allowed to grow up.
It won’t be wasted carelessly.”
"But," Mei Yin wanted to say more, but Yunxi didn't want to hear it anymore and said, "I have made up my mind and there is no more words to say. You go down and get ready."
