Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 29
Zhu Qiyu said that there are no generals available in the court and no one can command the third battalion. When Lin Cunde heard this, he couldn't help but frown. How could there be no one to command the third battalion?Although the Ming Dynasty experienced the defeat of Tumubao, there were still many frontier generals with rich combat experience.

It’s just that Zhu Qiyu may not know, or maybe the civil servants don’t agree.

"Cunde, do you have any good suggestions?" Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but ask when he saw Lin Cunde frowning.

"Your Majesty, isn't this a good thing for you? Why are you worried?" Lin Cunde looked at Zhu Qiyu with a puzzled look.

"A good thing?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Lin Cunde in shock. Can this be called a good thing?But I still couldn't help but ask: "Why do you say that? Is this a good thing?"

Lin Cunde nodded, thought for a while, raised his hands and asked: "Your Majesty, first of all, we need to confirm that the Ming Dynasty really has no generals available? If so, who commanded the defense of the capital? In addition, the border army officers have been Fighting, and fighting well, there must be excellent generals, this is certain."

"That's true, but it's hard to put it to good use. Do you know how many people there are in the third battalion of the capital? It's difficult for ordinary generals to lead them!" Zhu Qiyu nodded and looked at Lin Cunde and said.

The Third Battalion of the Capital, or the Third Battalion, actually had 17 soldiers, and they used to be the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty. Now, most of them were buried in Tumu Fort, which also greatly reduced the military strength of the Ming Dynasty.

"Students know, students remember that the Fifth Army Governor's Office is responsible for commanding troops, and the Ministry of War is responsible for mobilizing troops. Now the left and right governors of the Fifth Army Governor's Office are all court martial officers. They themselves are prestigious in the military. Let them supervise and train, Isn't it great? Besides, all the martial arts heroes are loyal to our Ming Dynasty and share weal and woe with our Ming Dynasty.

Wouldn't it be better if the Third Battalion of the Capital was handed over to them for supervision, training and command, and it would not violate the ancestral system. After all, the responsibilities of the Governor's Office and the Ministry of War of the Fifth Army were set by Taizu and Taizong. They had been leading the army in battles before, and they were well aware of the consequences. Interests. "

"But now, the Ministry of War has been thinned out. It is necessary to rebuild the third battalion of the capital. The Ministry of War will take the lead. I also feel that this matter is inappropriate, but no one can take the lead. Therefore, it is difficult for me to reject their memorial!" Zhu Qiyu also said the truth. Now It was the Ministry of War that wanted to control the Third Battalion of the Capital.

"Your Majesty, if the army is led by civil servants, the armaments will inevitably be weakened. If things go on like this, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army will inevitably decline. Besides, now that there is a Five Army Governor's Office, wouldn't it be better to let the Five Army Governor's Office take charge and supervise training?
This is the ancestral system, how can it be easily violated?Your Majesty, those civil servants have not surrendered to you now. They are still thinking about the Supreme Emperor. If the army is handed over to their hands, Your Majesty, if one day the Supreme Emperor returns to Beijing, Your Majesty will be in danger! Lin Cunde sat there and stared at Zhu Qiyu and said.

This sentence frightened Zhu Qiyu. After thinking about it carefully, it was really true. Now the civil servants still want the Supreme Emperor to come back. After all, the Supreme Emperor is indifferent and wants to play, otherwise Wang Zhen will not be allowed to control the government.Some civil servants with evil intentions just like this kind of emperor!

"You are right, but I have no idea how to do it. I can reject the memorial, but the third battalion of the capital is handed over to the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, and it is difficult to train. There are not many talented generals in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. Well, many of those martial arts heroes have just entered the ranks and have little experience. If they are put in their hands, I am worried that it will be difficult to practice them!" Zhu Qiyu nodded and said with a serious face, feeling very depressed in his heart. People are available.

"Your Majesty, how does this martial arts treat Your Majesty now? If the Supreme Emperor comes back, how likely is it for them to follow the Supreme Emperor?" Lin Cunde stared at Zhu Qiyu and asked.

Zhu Qiyu also stared at Lin Cunde for a while, and said: "They will not follow the Supreme Emperor, but they may not be very loyal to me. Although I hosted a banquet for them, in comparison, they still trust me more! The Ming Dynasty Wuxun , it has nothing to do with them who becomes the emperor, they are only loyal to the emperor and will not take sides easily!"

"That's it. In that case, why don't we use them? It's better than using civil servants? Furthermore, His Majesty said that there is no one available, how can there be no one available? The border soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy. There are many low-level officers and it is difficult to get promoted. Your Majesty is completely You can select hundreds of thousands of households, deputy thousands of households, hundreds of households, and trial of hundreds of households to enter the capital.

Your Majesty gives priority to those officers and allows those officers with combat experience to strictly train the army. How can such an army not be elite?Moreover, those officers were promoted by His Majesty. Aren't they loyal to His Majesty?

It doesn't matter who is in charge. What is important is that these basic officers are His Majesty's people. If the generals in charge support His Majesty, then those officers will naturally obey their orders.If they do not support His Majesty, then those low-level officers can completely bypass the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and take orders directly from His Majesty.

Your Majesty, if you think about the harem today, isn't it the same?The Queen Mother used to be strong and in charge of the harem. Now, the Queen Mother has replaced a group of people. Now, the Queen Mother cannot even command anyone! Lin Cunde said and stared at Zhu Qiyu.

"It makes sense, it makes sense!" Zhu Qiyu stood up excitedly at this moment and began to pace in the study. He had never thought about appointing a group of his own people and letting them manage the third battalion of the capital. If so, who would be the commander? It is of little significance, and it can also prevent civil servants from suppressing military generals.

The most important thing is that he firmly controls the military power. As long as he treats the newly promoted generals better, then those generals will definitely obey his orders.

Zhu Qiyu thought of this, walked over with a smile, sat down next to Lin Cunde, and said to Lin Cunde: "Yes, your idea is good, I will start selecting in the next few days!"

"Yes, your majesty can also ask some trustworthy ministers for the student's humble opinion!" Lin Cunde immediately responded with his hands, thinking, just approve it.

After Zhu Qiyu heard this, he looked at Lin Cunde with a wry smile and said: "The ministers still hope that the Ministry of War will take the lead in rebuilding the third battalion of the capital. I have never let go. I think it goes against the ancestral system, and I have no good method. Now that you have this idea, I Then you know what to do!" "Oh, that's right, civil servants also have their own interests. They have been suppressing military generals. After all, Xuanzong, Renzong, Taizong, and Taizu all valued military generals and often fought on the frontiers during this period. , Military generals are all valued very much, and it is normal for civil servants to be unconvinced!" After hearing this, Lin Cunde nodded and analyzed.

"Yeah, that's right!" Zhu Qiyu nodded, then looked at Lin Cunde.

Lin Cunde didn't know what he meant. After being looked at by him for a while, Lin Cunde couldn't help but stand up and hold his hands.

After all, being stared at by an emperor all the time made me feel angry. These days, when an emperor decides his life or death, it is a matter of just one sentence. There is no human rights or rule of law at all.

After a while, Zhu Qiyu slowly spoke: "Sit down, I'm thinking about something. I don't know whether I should tell you. If I tell you about this matter, if you can't keep it a secret, then I will give it to you and Your family has brought disaster!"

Lin Cunde looked up at Zhu Qiyu in shock, and met Zhu Qiyu's serious gaze. Lin Cunde lowered his head again, thinking to himself, if this is the case, then don't say anything!How could it be so scary?

It's just something about the Supreme Emperor. I'm not stupid. For this kind of thing, I don't need to guess what he's going to say.

However, Lin Cunde remained silent. Zhu Qiyu was a little disappointed when Lin Cunde remained silent, but he still asked: "Are you willing to keep this secret for me? Even if you die, you can't tell it?"

Lin Cunde smiled bitterly in his heart. There is no benefit to this thing. He has to keep this secret that is not a secret. Who among the civil servants and generals in the court can't help but know his thoughts?
"Your Majesty, please tell me that the students must bring the secret into the coffin!" Lin Cunde said with his hands in hand. He had no choice but to not express his position. It would probably be troublesome.

"Okay, I really saw you right!" Zhu Qiyu nodded, stood up very happily, and then paced in the study again. Lin Cunde could only stand quietly, waiting for Zhu Qiyu to speak.

At this moment, at Kunning Palace, Eunuch Ge also arrived at Kunning Palace and reported to Wang Meilin that Lin Cunde had entered the palace and that His Majesty was now receiving him.

"Oh, Cunde is here, I'd better go and have a look. After all, he is my future sister-in-law!" After hearing this, Wang Meilin also put down the account book in his hand, stood up, and was about to go to the Palace of Preservation and Harmony to have a look.

When Eunuch Ge heard this, he became even more nervous. He had originally thought about talking to the Queen and wanted to test the Queen's attitude towards Lin Cunde. How could he have imagined that the Queen would also want to visit Lin Cunde.

What is Lin Cunde’s ability? It’s not normal for His Majesty and the Empress to meet him in person. So he quickly said: “I’m sorry, I’m working as an errand in the Hall of Care, Zhonghe, and Zhonghe today. I saw Lin Cunde coming over and didn’t recognize him.” When he came out, he thought he was a stray guest at the banquet, so he scolded him and asked him to leave the Baohe Hall! Please forgive me!"'

After speaking, Eunuch Ge knelt down and kowtowed to the Queen.

Wang Meilin stared at Eunuch Ge closely at this moment and said coldly: "Did you just say that you reprimanded Cunde?"

"Yes, I don't even know his identity, so please forgive me!" Eunuch Ge continued to lie on the ground and said.

"You bastard, even if I see you, I will treat you with courtesy. How dare you reprimand me?" Wang Meilin stood up at this moment and stared at Eunuch Ge who was kneeling on the ground.

After Eunuch Ge heard this, he was even more frightened. Even the Queen and the Empress wanted to treat three thirds of people with courtesy. He was offended for being so blind.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry. I really don't know for sure. He was wearing plain indigo clothes, and he's not a big boy. I just scolded him and asked him to leave. I didn't think much about it, and I asked your Majesty to forgive me!" Eunuch Ge kowtowed again and said. .

"Hmph, get up. This is your first offence. Wait a minute and accompany me to see Cunde. You have to apologize to Cunde in person. If he doesn't forgive you, see how I will deal with you!" Wang Meilin stared angrily. Looking at Eunuch Ge, she was satisfied with Eunuch Ge coming to plead guilty and report.
