I am the king of the dead

Chapter 144 The Night Watchman of the Ming Dynasty——Night Not Accepted (Both ordered and updated)
Zhu Qiyu was particularly disgusted with the relaxed appearance of the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Especially when the Oirats were aggressive and attacked Daming, they were still able to discuss their affairs in the Wenhua Palace during the Chinese New Year.

Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath and said, "I didn't sleep all night last night, and I read the letters written by Xuanfu Changping Marquis Yang Hong, Datong Chief Military Officer Guo Deng, and the envoy Yue Qian who sent the captives for a long time. I didn't close my eyes. , always thinking of saying something to everyone.”

"But there must be a reason for this."

"The director of the Ministry of War, Yu Shaobao, always told me that there is no city in the world that cannot be conquered, so during the battle to defend the capital, what he did most was to track down spies."

"I cut them all to pieces."

After Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, Yu Qian's expression changed immediately, and he immediately understood what His Majesty meant, the atmosphere in the court was too relaxed.

Even though Yu Qian had predicted the enemy first and took the initiative everywhere, Yu Qian didn't think that the Oirats could really take down the Xuanfu.

Datong has depth, Oirat can only be defeated by the Xuanfu, and in Yu Qian's view, Yang Hong will never be defeated in the Xuanfu and with His Majesty's support.

He was also a little slack.

Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath and continued: "The commander-in-chief of the Beijing Division, Wu Qinghou Shi Zongbing, always told me that before thinking about victory, first think about defeat, so that you can win a hundred battles."

"I will rectify the military affairs, so that our Daming will have more confidence."

When Shi Heng heard this sentence, he also bowed his head silently. His arrogance was earlier than those in the court. Earlier, when His Majesty inspected the Beijing camp, he caught a trick in the military camp.

Zhu Qiyu stood up and continued: "Chen Xueshi, the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, always told me that your majesty is the supreme son of heaven, and you should always be vigilant."

"I reflect on myself three times a day. Every day before I go to bed, I keep asking myself, have I finished today's work? Is it done? Is there any mistake?"

Chen Xun is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion. Hearing this, he took a deep breath.

At this time, Wenyuan Pavilion was not the kind of cabinet in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Its more function was to deal with official documents. Chen Xun was good at handling official documents, and he was even better at chanting scriptures.

But Chen Xun nagged about the emperor every day, and the nagging emperor had callouses in his ears, but he had forgotten about it.

Are the words of the sages right?

Actually yes.

But the words of the sages are difficult to achieve.

Zhu Qiyu sighed and put his hands on the long table, and said: "Wenyuan Pavilion Grand Master, Six Ministers, Governor of the Five Armies, Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Six Departments are present here."

"My lords, which one is not the pillar of the imperial court! Which one is not a Jinshi and rank! Which one is not full of knowledge! Which one is not Wentao Wulue!"

"This civil castle has changed dramatically. King Ji led 20 elite troops of the Ming Dynasty and 30 civilians, and died on the frontier!"

"It was August last year, August [-]th! The day of family reunion during the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were more than [-] households in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and everyone wore sackcloth and filial piety! The whole city is plain!"

"Forgot?! This King Ji burned the half-drawn dragon banner back then, and he is still watching you from the long table in the Wenhua Palace!"

Zhu Qiyu patted the half-burned dragon banner, his face was as calm as water, extremely stern.

Where is this going?

Started to get tired and felt that Da Ming was invincible?Don't take the Wala people seriously.

The lion and the elephant fight the rabbit with all their strength!

This big banner of the dragon flag is to remind everyone that the alarm bell is ringing!
"The ancients used to say that arrogant soldiers are bound to be defeated. King Ji's defeat in Tumu Fort has reminded me, and also reminded all civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty."

"Winning or losing is a common matter for military strategists. If you face the enemy with the heart of winning every victory and never losing one, you will definitely lose."

"I see, this dragon flag banner is placed in this Wenhua Palace. It has been placed there all the time. I take it out from time to time, turn it over, have a look, and think about it."

"How did the 20 elites and 30 civilians of the Ming Dynasty's Beijing camp die in the frontier?"

"What about Daming, who almost fell into the disaster of exile, and he has a long memory."

Seeing the appearance of the courtiers, Zhu Qiyu sighed and said: "Xing'an, from now on, this flag will be placed here, don't take it away, and look at it every day after the court meeting is over and when you leave."

"The minister leads the order." Xing'an bowed his head respectfully and said.

Zhu Qiyu sat back in his seat and said, "Go on."

The court discussion began to continue, and Zhu Qiyu looked at the courtiers, and finally began to take Wala's southward journey seriously this time, Zhu Qiyu was relieved.

In fact, the slackness of the courtiers is a problem in the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a problem in almost all empires.

That is: "Everyone in the empire has become arrogant. Everyone thinks that the empire is strong enough, and it is nothing to worry about."

Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is.

How to recruit civilians to widen the road to Xuanfu and level the road without affecting the spring plowing? arguing.

"Your Majesty, the ministers and others are almost done with the discussion. After the ministries have discussed it, they will come up with a plan and send it to Wenyuan Pavilion for His Majesty's review." Yu Qian motioned everyone to be quiet, and reported the results of today's court discussion to the emperor.

This will be documented in writing.

"How long?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

Yu Qian hurriedly said, "It's sunset."

Zhu Qiyu stood up and said, "I know, let's go."

He suddenly thought of it and said: "Oh, by the way, the capital lecture hall will open the day after tomorrow, don't forget."

"Your Majesty will be sent off respectfully." A group of courtiers made a salute respectfully.

In fact, Zhu Qiyu also left the palace, he didn't live in the palace, and he didn't even know how to take the water and food in the palace.

After he returned to Tai'an Palace, which was renamed the Prince Yi's Mansion, he still held Yang Hong's memorial in his hand, and his heart was still extremely heavy.

In Yang Hong's memorandum, he mentioned a suggestion, that is, to select capable men and form a pier and Yuanhou.

The piers are an important part of the Daming military fort system.

High walls, deep ravines, five miles for the fort, ten miles for the village, the beacon towers, and the beads are connected to the wall.

The pier sentry is responsible for guarding and guarding the pier and its surrounding areas.

The Yuanhou of the pier proposed by Yang Hong refers to these scouts who are active outside day and night, then collect information and send it back to the pier.

[Today's defenses along the border include the construction of camps, fortresses and piers, and the defense of patrols and ambushes.Those who are dispatched have soldiers, those who divide the defense have defenses, and the way of strict defense can be described as thorough and well-prepared. 】

[Jie can fly over the roof and walk on the wall, but the skill of murder and arson is ingenious and shocking, so he should be selected into the Chinese army for the purpose of his heart and body.It can go deep into the barracks to find out the truth, and it will not be closed at night when the sentry is out. 】

The pier sentry will not accept it at night.

These murderers, arsonists, and omnipotent sergeants went out day and night when they were performing sentry on the pier. In addition to going deep into the camp and sentrying out the enemy's actual situation, they would set fire to a trail in autumn. The 50-mile-deep fire zone was used to isolate the grassland tribes from going south.

At least stop them from resupplying nearby.

The strong wall clears the field, and the clearing reaches other people's homes. This is the purpose proposed by Yang Hong to form the pier and Yuanhou.

Of course, Yang Hong also proposed the specific functions of Duntai Yuanhou.

Specifically, it is divided into: catching students, sentry reporting, guarding sentry, supervising sentry, claw detection, walking report, messenger, piers, sitting in ponds, calling the police, and leaving mountains.

Zhu Qiyu intends to approve the memorial of the Marquis of Yuantai, and establish a whole set of foreign intelligence network of Ming Dynasty with the frontier army of Nine Towns as the main force.

If he wants to sweep the Tingli caves of the Oara people, he must find out the tribes of the Oara people one by one along the hydrology.

To form this intelligence network, of course, the first thing to do is to start with the imminent Xuanfu.

As for the name of this intelligence network, Zhu Qiyu Zhu approved the name because of the fact that the sentry would not accept it at night.

In addition to Yang Hong's request, he gave an additional 280 sets of flying fish suits.

These flying fish suits are for Ye Bucha's dress and funeral clothes, they don't usually wear them.

They do not accept them at night, because they have to pass on information, inquire about news for the army, and even undertake certain military combat tasks, such as blocking small groups of looting horse bandits who enter the country privately, such as killing enemy scouts, and so on.

Every time the Yuanhou of the pier stands guard, the casualties are bound to be heavy, but for the sake of intelligence, there is indeed a necessity for existence.

If these piers are far away and disappear forever on the border and grassland, after it is verified that they were killed in battle, they will be compensated accordingly.

If it cannot be verified, it will be counted as fugitive, and there is no compensation for fugitive.

These nights are not collected, usually alone or with two or three people, once encountering the enemy, it is easy to wipe out the whole army, and it is impossible to verify.

The reason why Zhu Qiyu gave the flying fish suit was because everyone knew that these people were willing to be marquises, not because they made any mistakes, let alone criminals.

They are the best among the best, all the piers are far away, and they are the most loyal fighters of Ming Dynasty!
They will not flee, but because it is impossible to verify whether they are dead or alive, they can only be recorded as fugitives.

There is no pension, only clothing as a tomb.

It proves that they once contributed their lives to Daming.

Zhu Qiyu bestowed 280 sets of flying fish suits, just to see off these 280 members with a bright sword.

They are Daming's night watchmen - they don't accept them at night.

"Xing'an, do you think that just this set of clothes can make people work hard?" Zhu Qiyu asked with emotion after approving Yang Hong's memorial.

After Ye Bushou delivered the information on the pier, important military reports would be sent to Jin Yiwei.It can be regarded as a subordinate unit of Jinyiwei Yamen.

But these Ming's sharpest swords actually got this kind of clothes, and they might not be able to wear them once in a lifetime.

Your Majesty loves people, and doesn't think clothes are more important than people.

Of course, it has to be counted as a person.

Xing'an bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, there are four-clawed flying fish patterns on the flying fish uniform, and the flying fish python also has two horns. It is a second-grade garment second only to the python uniform. Grace to them."

"Your Majesty knows what they did, and so does Daming."

"They are working for their wives, children, old and young, for Daming, and even more so for His Majesty."

　Yebushou first appeared in the second year of Jingtai, Yang Hong, and asked for its establishment. During the Jingtai period, there were about a thousand people, and in the Chenghua period, there were about 3000 people. In the third year of Chenghua, the Emperor Chenghua gave these Yebu No charge.They went deep into the enemy's camp to find out information, set fire to the isolation zone, and prevented the captives from going south, etc. The last record is that everything disappeared with the Ming Dynasty.
