Yu Qian smiled bitterly at Xu Xianyong's words.

"Is there really any intercession?" Xu Xianyong asked in surprise.

Lin Cunde smiled beside him and said: "How is it possible that no one intercedes? The civil servants and generals in the court are intertwined. I am among you, and you are among me. Otherwise, how dare those thousands or hundreds of households below be so bold? Besides, How can one person only enjoy the profits generated from those plundered lands? They are all divided!"

Xu Xianyong glanced at Lin Cunde and then at Yu Qian.

"I have no plan now. It's too difficult. Let alone rectifying the whole country, it's very difficult to rectify even a thousand households. There are commanders above those thousands households, and there are people and lines above the commanders! Moreover, there are commanders I know many officials, not to mention the people above me! So it’s very difficult for me to deal with it now!" Yu Qian sat there and said with a wry smile.

Lin Cunde made tea now and started pouring tea for them.

Wang Zhi was very curious at the moment and wanted to hear what Yu Qian came over to say to his brother-in-law and gain insights.

"Then we will rectify them one by one and make up our minds to rectify them!" Xu Xianyong held the tea cup and said with a slight smile, not daring to say too much.

"It's a one-by-one rectification, but in that case, it needs to be rectified until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse?" Yu Qian stared at Xu Xianyong and asked, hoping to get Xu Xianyong's support.

But Xu Xianyong didn't answer. He also had many subordinates, and he also needed their support. He couldn't ignore all those subordinates. How could he lead the army in the future?Who will still convince themselves?

When Yu Qian saw that Xu Xianyong was silent, he understood in his heart that Xu Xianyong actually knew what he was doing down there, and many people probably had also approached Xu Xianyong.

So Yu Qian looked at Lin Cunde, hoping that Lin Cunde could talk.

Lin Cunde smiled and said: "It's very simple. Let your Majesty summon the senior generals to discuss countermeasures and draw boundaries. No intercession is allowed. Moreover, if those thousands or hundreds of households actively cooperate, then let's forget about the past. The assessment will be judged as inferior, and if he commits the crime again in the future, he will be dismissed from the military and will not be allowed to have a hereditary military position!"

"This!" Xu Xianyong looked at Lin Cunde in shock.

Yu Qian's eyes shone. He didn't expect that Lin Cunde actually said it directly, or said it to Xu Xianyong's face.

"If the army is not reorganized, something big will happen sooner or later. The frontier army often fights and suffers heavy casualties. The generals of the frontier army are the most miserable and have the least money. However, in many places in the Central Plains and the South, if there is no war, those commanders, thousands of households, Hundreds of households are not rich enough, and they are hereditary from generation to generation. How can there be any fairness? If things go on like this, how can the generals of the border army be convinced? I heard that there are often Olac troops on the border from Ningxia to Shuozhou?" Lin Cunde looked at Yu Qian and asked.

Yu Qian nodded, not knowing what Lin Cunde was going to say.

"For those who are unwilling to rectify and find someone to intercede, they will mobilize troops to Ningxia and set up defenses in the Shuozhou area. The Ministry of War will prepare food and fodder and let them go. Those who can't even get enough soldiers, what should I do with them? And , if you do not arrive on time, everyone from the commanding officer to the thousands of households will be deprived of their military status and their property will be confiscated! The land obtained will be redistributed according to the military status under the jurisdiction of the guard!" Lin Cunde sat there and said with a chuckle.

"Ah? No, no, no, Lin Dushi, this is not okay!" Xu Xianyong was surprised and waved his hands quickly.

"Why not?" Lin Cunde heard this and looked at Xu Xianyong pretending not to move and asked.

"This, this, this!" Xu Xianyong didn't know how to explain at this moment. He thought of the Ministry of War providing food and grass, so he said, "The Ministry of War will need to prepare a lot of food and grass!"

"What does this have to do with it? Besides, if those people are indeed guilty of corruption, then the proceeds from the house raid will definitely exceed the cost of the required food and fodder. In addition, if I remember correctly, the food provided by the guard does not need to be escorted to the treasury, only It needs to be kept in the warehouse of the guardhouse as military food. The funds for the expedition do not need to be allocated by the Ministry of War. It is only necessary to garrison troops at the border for a long time, so the Ministry of War will provide food and grass, right?" Lin Cunde said and looked at Yu Qian and asked.

"Yes!" Yu Qian nodded quickly, and then said: "Cunde, this is a good idea! I will go to see His Majesty later and discuss it with the cabinet ministers at the same time!"

"This, no, no, Lin Du, this is not possible, it will cause a mutiny!" Xu Xianyong quickly waved his hand to Lin Cunde and said, as a result, many thousand households and even many guard stations will need to be beaten from top to bottom. !

"Mutiny? It doesn't exist. Many thousands of households have no soldiers. How can there be a mutiny?" Lin Cunde asked with a smile.

Xu Xianyong looked at Lin Cunde dumbfounded at this moment.

"Then we'll start with those Qianhu who don't have many soldiers. Of course, if they take the initiative to admit their mistakes, they will still be given a chance. If they are stubborn and ineffective, then you're welcome and they still have to deal with it. , otherwise our Ming army, although there are so many troops, can only be drawn out to fight the border troops. Once the border is breached, the enemy can march straight in. Isn’t this the case in this Beijing defense battle? " Lin Cunde continued to speak.The reason why Lin Cunde said this was to scare Xu Xianyong and let him know that the army had reached the point where it had to move. Moreover, the court would guarantee the interests of the upper-level military officers and lower-level soldiers, but for the middle-level officers and those decadent Qianhu households , hundreds of households, that will definitely be sorted out.

As for Lin Cunde saying this, Yu Qian didn't understand why Lin Cunde would say it in front of Xu Xianyong.

"That's true, but you still can't act too hastily, otherwise, disaster will happen!" Xu Xianyong looked at Yu Qian worriedly and said, not wanting Yu Qian to take Lin Cunde's suggestion.

Yu Qian did not answer, but was thinking about the feasibility of doing so.

"Xu Qianshi, this matter needs to be carefully considered by the martial arts officers, whether to pursue short-term interests or long-term interests!" Lin Cunde asked with a smile as he looked at Xu Xianyong.

"What's the explanation for this?" Xu Xianyong asked, staring at Lin Cunde. Xu Xianyong was very dissatisfied with the methods Lin Cunde just said, but he didn't want to get angry.

"The short-term interests are hello, me, and everyone. At this time, everyone has made money. Then, if Wala breaks through the border again and the army presses on the border, our Ming army cannot resist it. Daming can only rely on the defense line of the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers to stop Wala's army. At that time, do the thousands or hundreds of households north of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River still have their interests? Do you still have the interests of the martial arts?
The long-term benefit is to rectify the army and maintain a strong combat effectiveness. It is even said that one day, troops will be sent to Mobei, seize the city and land, and be named a marquis and prime minister based on military merit, leaving a name in history!This is the long-term benefit!
All the military heroes are the top nobles of the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that if the Ming Dynasty was strong, the life of the military heroes would be very easy. From generation to generation, if the Ming Dynasty had another battle to defend Beijing, life would be difficult! Lin Cunde looked at Xu Xianyong and said calmly.

Xu Xianyong also fell into silence at this moment. He knew the current situation of the army. In the entire Ming Dynasty, at least [-]% of the army had abandoned their training and could not fight at all.And there is a trend of expansion, especially in the south. There has been no war all year round. In addition, the economy in the south is good, and many thousands and hundreds of households have completely ignored the army!
However, Xu Xianyong still did not want the Ministry of War to be too involved, especially dismissal from the military, which was difficult for Xu Xianyong to accept.

"In addition, Yu Shangshu, you need to spread the word and reorganize the army to gain benefits for the soldiers and get back the farmland that should belong to them!" Lin Cunde looked at Yu Qian and said.

When Yu Qian heard this, he looked at Lin Cunde. He had not used this method before.

"If you don't let the soldiers below know what the rectification is going on? How to rectify it? Then if those thousands of households cajole those soldiers, those soldiers may get into chaos! These lands are originally theirs, and they are used by the court to support them. Theirs! Therefore, when you go somewhere, you need to post notices to let the soldiers know what is going on, and it may bring unexpected effects!" Lin Cunde continued to explain to Yu Qian.

"It makes sense! It makes sense!" Yu Qian stroked his beard and thought about why there was such a big obstacle when he was working with the platoon below. It was because many soldiers didn't know what was going on, and they would help thousands of households and hundreds of households hide it.

"Hey!" Xu Xianyong could only sigh when he heard that Lin Cunde was still giving Yu Qian advice.

I was thinking that tonight, I need to discuss it with the martial artists in Beijing, but I can't let Lin Cunde and Yu Qian do whatever they want!

This is what Lin Cunde wants. The purpose of reorganizing the army is to allow Zhu Qiyu to fully control the military power, rather than to alienate those Wu Xun and Zhu Qiyu.

Zhu Qiyu couldn't do it, and Wang Ying couldn't do it either. He had to do it himself.

As for the methods he just mentioned, the purpose is also to attract those who really control the army in the capital, hoping that they can stand up and support the rectification.

Zhu Qiyu will also select outstanding grassroots generals from the border troops. For example, hundreds of households will be transferred to the inland to serve as thousands of households, and thousands of households will be transferred to local commanders, etc. Through this series of operations, he will completely control the army.

Of course, all this requires the support of the martial artists, who must see that doing so is beneficial to them.

However, Lin Cunde hasn't said anything really beneficial to Xu Xianyong yet, and Yu Qian is here, so he can't say anything.

In order to prevent civil servants from intervening in the army, Lin Cunde actually has a way. If Yu Qian wants to truly launch rectification, it is impossible without the full support of the military honors. Therefore, these can be discussed, and Lin Cunde also believes that Yu Qian will Promised.

At this moment, Yu Qian stroked his beard with satisfaction and smiled at Lin Cunde: "I have to say, you still have a way. I still stuck to the rules to rectify it before. No wonder it has no effect and no progress!"

When Xu Xianyong heard what Yu Qian said, he looked at Lin Cunde even more depressed. Lin Cunde was Wang Ying's son-in-law. How could he help outsiders?

Xu Xianyong was a little confused.
