Chapter 116: Preparations for Border Patrol

To be exact. Zhu Qizhen didn't want to go to the army in person, but wanted to patrol the border.

If the front line won a big victory, Zhu Qizhen was not prepared to wait for the return of the army in Beijing, but was ready to walk around Daning and Kaiping under the escort of the Beijing camp.

Zhu Qizhen has long been thinking about this matter.

I was going to visit Mongolia beforehand.

Last year, Zhu Qizhen had such an idea, but in the battle of Dongshengwei, the ministers were all against it.

Zhu Qizhen is also worried.

Zhu Qizhen is the most desperate.

After all, there are still so many things that have not been done, and once they die, who can guarantee that their policies will be sustainable.

Even because of the shadow of the change in the civil fort, Zhu Qizhen has a shadow of sending troops to fight.

But now in the current situation, Zhu Qizhen has no choice but to do it.

Last year, Shi Heng openly scolded Li Wen, and this incident sounded the alarm for Zhu Qizhen. Zhu Qizhen felt that his control over the army was declining.

There's no way around it.

For the soldiers, they are always willing to follow the generals who can lead them to victory, rather than the emperor who is far away in Beijing.

Although Shi Heng is arrogant, he has the capital to be arrogant.

But the army is a pillar of the core of Zhu Qizhen's power, and after this pillar is shaken, the consequences are extremely serious.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen has the idea of supporting civilian officials to suppress military generals, and Han Yong can fight in Datengxia, the governor of Liangguang, although Han Yong is capable, and the north can't spare the marshal for a while.

However, it may not be a reflection of Zhu Qizhen's thoughts.

Zhu Qizhen was not willing to do this.

After all, if you do this, you will not be on the same path.

Zhu Qizhen sketched out the outline for the future army, and the judge, that is, the supervising army, will go to the bottom layer in the future, and even hundreds of households. Most of the officers were born in martial arts and were protégés of the Son of Heaven. has been stripped out of logistics, and other means can ensure the emperor's control of the army.

But it will take time to get to this point.

Now, although everything is booming, for example, in the week of this dispatch, the judges led by Wang Yue are all involved in the army's conquest.

Hundreds of martial arts students graduate every year, participate in the army, and become the most basic generals in the army.

But this new system is not fully in place, and the old system has been broken for a long time, but it is a gap.

Shi Heng, in particular, has most of his roots in Haixi.

But how long has Haixi belonged to the Ming Dynasty. Most of the people in Haixi are Jurchens, and there are a large number of Korean immigrants, and these immigrants have much loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, it is easy for Shi Heng to appear, only knowing General Shi, not Emperor Zhu.

This has become a fait accompli.

Of course, although this situation embarrassed Zhu Qizhen, it was not unacceptable.

Because Zhu Qizhen understood it a long time ago.

Although he is the Ninety-Five Supreme, can the Ninety-Five Supreme be able to control all the affairs of the world? It's simply not possible. Even the old man in later generations also sighed that he could only manage the affairs of Beijing, and he could not manage the affairs outside Beijing.

Zhu Qizhen felt that his own management ability was not as good as that old man, and even some dark places in Beijing City, he couldn't manage it clearly.

He saw it, but it was only what the people below wanted to see.

There are too many things to say one thing and sing another, take many health offices as an example, Zhu Qizhen really wants to cut off the tumor in a big way, and see if they rebel or not.

There are also those Tusi in the southwest, and even King Xiang of Luchuan may not be obedient to Zhu Qizhen.

Therefore, Shi Heng's current situation, Zhu Qizhen can be regarded as invisible, as long as Shi Heng can win the battle for the Ming Dynasty, the future will be talked about in the future.

Even Shi Heng has been loyal all his life, and Zhu Qizhen can even accommodate his special interests in Haixi.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Shi Heng does not conflict with Zhu Qizhen's politics.

What if Seok Hyung didn't know who he was? Zhu Qizhen naturally wants to have a fight with Shi Heng, so that Shi Heng knows what it means to kill without a knife.

But this Shi Heng's situation can't happen again.

As mentioned before, Shi Heng's situation has his special environment, if Zhu Qizhen's hard-working Beijing camp is divided up by several generals.

Zhu Qizhen fell into political passivity instead.

This is something that Zhu Qizhen absolutely cannot allow.

Although in the Ming system, the emperor is the natural commander of all armies, there is always a gap between reality and ideals.

In order to prevent the slightest problem, Zhu Qizhen greatly strengthened his participation in military affairs.

For example, Zhu Qizhen took out more than one million taels to reward the army, which is one of them.

But that's not enough.

It is only the owner who gives money.

If you want to convince the army of the emperor, the best way is to integrate the identities of the emperor and the commander-in-chief, Taizu Taizong is like this, and even Emperor Xuanzong wants to take this path.

But Zhu Qizhen has the shadow of the change of the civil fort in his heart.

Let him command the army deep into the barren, even if the victory rate is extremely high, Zhu Qizhen is unwilling, he is worried, he is not qualified for the post of commander, in case he escapes the civil fort, and another such and such a fort, Zhu Qizhen has no place to cry.

In addition, he doesn't think that the current prince and even the queen can support the situation of the Ming Dynasty.

Don't look at Chen Xun in front of Zhu Qizhen, he is simply a three-purpose prince, like a good baby, very obedient, because Chen Xun is facing Zhu Qizhen.

If Chen Xun is asked to face the prince, what will it look like, Zhu Qizhen

I don't dare to think about it.

Generally speaking, the courtiers selected by Zhu Qizhen are also quite capable people in the center of the Ming Dynasty.

Most of the people who have the ability have tempers. Not to mention anything else, take Shi Heng as an example, in one sentence, this is not a young minister, it is very suitable.

Once Zhu Qizhen felt that he couldn't live, Shi Heng would definitely be given death.

But Zhu Qizhen doesn't want to participate in military operations and wants to increase his influence on the army, so what should he do?

Zhu Qizhen came up with one thing, that is, hunting.

Sometimes it had to be a city, and the Ming army was very Mongolized in many things, especially above the cavalry. The Mongols trained their armies by hunting.

Zhu Qizhen also wanted to use this method to strengthen ties with the army, and could even use the merits of the hunting to make some adjustments to the army.

What is more important is to contact a large number of middle- and lower-level officers in such an operation, so that they can know that the emperor is a living person, not a spiritual position, just a memorial arch.

And if there is a big victory this time, Zhu Qizhen is ready to inspect Daning, reward the three people, and hunt in the Daning area, and at the same time deter the Mongolian tribes.

It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

Zhu Qizhen has this thought, although there are still some things to do before the big victory, but the emperor's patrol has always been a big deal, and if others don't tell him, it is impossible for Zhu Qizhen not to tell Chen Xun.

Chen Xun may know Zhu Qizhen's deep meaning, or he may not know.

After all, Zhu Qizhen's soul comes from the next generation, and in his bones, he doesn't believe in any monarchs and ministers, he only believes in interests, strength, and checks and balances.

Even if Zhu Qizhen told Chen Xun about his thoughts, Chen Xun would definitely feel that Zhu Qizhen's suspicions were too heavy.

There is no way to do this, suspicion has always been the emperor's occupational disease.

This brought Chen Xun a big problem.

After the emperor went on patrol, who would be in charge of the capital, and how to ensure the emperor's safety, and so on. This is too much work, and now when the victory or defeat on the front line is not decided, it cannot be leaked.

But Zhu Qizhen didn't care about this, after all, the first assistant had to have the responsibility of the first assistant, otherwise Chen Xun, the first assistant, would come to do something.

His heart at the moment is no longer in Beijing, but in Mobei.

More than ten years of preparation, how many years of planning.

Zhu Qizhen remembered his countless sleepless nights, holding candles and looking at the tens of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in Mobei, from one point to another, and then turned out the general's file list, from one name to another.

and even military supplies, military systems, and the improvement of firearms, etc.

Zhu Qizhen doesn't remember how much effort he put into it.

But he didn't regret it at all, not to mention anything else, if he really killed the thorn in one fell swoop, even if he died of illness now, he would have a place among the ancient emperors.

At this moment, the dice have been dropped, and the victory or defeat only depends on the will of God.
