Since the Ordnance Institute was responsible for providing firearms to the armies in various places, the business of the Imperial Horse Supervision Bureau has been reduced by almost two-thirds, and the military supervision system of the border armies in various places has also been abolished.

If he is completely lost at once, Zhang Guoxing can go home directly to retire.

"I have also thought of this, Brother Liu thinks how to place these troops?" Zhu Cihong patted his head on the top bunk, obviously he didn't think about it so much.

After all, he was only eighteen years old, where could he think so thoroughly, and Zhang Guoxing, the palm of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, was a man of few words, and he rarely moved around on weekdays, and Zhu Cihong was not familiar with him at all.

Whether it was a layoff or a retention, it didn't matter to him at all.

"The Imperial Horse Supervisor belongs to the inner court, so it's better to let them do their old jobs." Liu Honggradually suddenly remembered the engineering students who went to various places to search for mines.

In addition to being in charge of the Tengxiang Four Guards Battalion, the biggest role of the Imperial Horse Supervisor is the supervision army sent to various places, but the supervision army can go directly to the heavens, and the blind command without knowing the soldiers leads to often bad things.

But the Imperial Horse Supervisor also has another business, the mine supervisor and the tax supervisor.

Especially in the Wanli Dynasty, where the party was the most fierce, when the country's finances were completely controlled by the civil officials of the foreign court, Zhu Yijun relied on the wanton dispatch of mine supervisors and tax supervisors to support the three major levies of Wanli.

Liu Hongjian felt that it was from this aspect, mining needs manpower, guards, supervisors are indispensable, as far as Liu Hongjian knows, only one place outside the Hada Mountain silver mine, and two thousand soldiers were placed to guard.

If the Ming Dynasty opens more mines in the future, it is unrealistic to let the border troops guard it.

Another point is corruption, the mine is high and the emperor is far away, iron ore and other minerals are good, gold and silver mines themselves contain huge benefits, and corruption will inevitably become popular in the past.

But eunuchs are different, these are the emperor's slaves, but they are more heartfelt if they don't have them, Zhang Guoxing, this brother's loyalty, there is nothing to say, and the imperial means are even more powerful than him, which is really suitable for this errand.

"Mine supervisor? As far as I know, there are not so many mines in the Ming Dynasty at the moment, where are these so many soldiers used. Zhu Cihong said casually.

Wu Xiang left guard, Wu Xiang right guard, Teng Xiang left guard, Teng Xiang right guard, plus the government army avant-garde, but there are 30,000 people.

"The emperor doesn't know yet, the minister has ordered the first batch of students of the Engineering College to go to various places in Daming to prospect." Liu Hong gradually replied.

"Alas, Brother Liu doesn't know, prospecting is not so easy, the Ministry of Industry sends many craftsmen out to prospect every year, but very few are really found." Zhu Cihong sighed and said.

"Hahaha, the students of the Engineering College are not those officials in the Ministry of Engineering, the emperor waits, within three months, there will be students returning one after another, don't be surprised at that time."

Liu Hong smiled gradually, just kidding, this king has pointed out the specific locations.

Where there are silver mines, where there are iron mines, tin mines, the map is clearly marked, although there are some deviations, but for example, the names of those mountains have not changed at all, according to the premise of the map, it is not too difficult to find the mine, if you really master the knowledge taught by the mining department of the College of Engineering.

"If this is the case, I will know in my heart that the matter of the soldier family, I will follow Brother Liu, and I will call Zhang Guoxing to explain the matter when I go back." Zhu Cihong didn't care much.

It doesn't matter if the mine is found or not, he doesn't care how the Siwei Battalion is placed, as long as the Ming Dynasty is peaceful inside and outside and the national treasury is sufficient, these are not big deals, at least Zhu Cihong thinks so.

"The mine supervisor can be responsible for the imperial horse supervisor, but the soldiers of the four guard battalions and the avant-garde of the government army need to be selected, and they need to be trained, and their names must be changed, and the ministers think that it is beneficial to 20,000 people, and the emperor only needs to make it clear to Zhang Gonggong that he knows how to deal with it."

Liu Honggradually thought about it for a moment and said.

These soldiers are not old and frail, in fact, they are all young, after all, they are responsible for the security and façade of the imperial city, and they will not allow the old and weak to stand guard in the palace, but these soldiers are too lacking in training.

When you go to various places to protect the mines, you will inevitably encounter bandits, robbers and the like, and if you run away as soon as you meet, it will be a big joke.

"Enzhen knows, if these soldiers are classified as mine soldiers, then as Brother Liu said just now, the soldiers of the martial arts hall are simply not enough to protect the safety of the imperial city." Zhu Cihong frowned.

He didn't worry about the safety of the palace, after all, the little ones couldn't enter at all, but it wasn't entirely a security issue, but also a face problem.

As an emperor, who doesn't pay attention to his own façade, if the palace of Nuoda is only guarded by a few guards, what does it look like?

"The minister has also thought of this matter, so it is better to use the Beijing battalion soldiers, including the original soldiers guarding the capital." Liu Hongjian proposed.

In the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, the capital has only experienced two or three sieges, and according to the current deployment of troops, it is absolutely impossible for foreign enemies to break into the pass as before.

Objectively speaking, the 40,000 defenders of the capital have no battle to fight at all, which is actually not a good phenomenon, and after a long time, the combat effectiveness of these soldiers will decline.

The Beijing battalion soldiers, on the other hand, train every day, and even conduct exercises every three months.

From this point of view, it is better to directly take turns and select soldiers from the Beijing battalion and take turns once a year to ensure the combat effectiveness of the defenders of the capital.

"The minister's intention, change the Beijing battalion to the Praetorian Guard, the defenders of the capital into a battalion, the soldiers are selected from the Praetorian Guard, it is for the Yulin Army, and the person in charge of the imperial city is the Tiger Army, which is 6,000, except for the soldiers of the martial arts, the rest are filled by the Praetorian Guard." Liu Hong gradually replied.

In this way, as long as the training of the Praetorian Guards does not fall behind, whether it is the soldiers guarding the capital or the soldiers guarding the imperial city, the combat effectiveness will not decline.

Besides, the Praetorian Guards have to fight with Liu Hong gradually from time to time, so this combat effectiveness naturally has nothing to say.

"Praetorian Guard, Yulin Army, Tiger Army, these names are reversed to the previous dynasty, and they all sound very good." Zhu Cihong thought about it and did not say anything different.

In fact, it is also the title of the Praetorian Guard of the Song Dynasty, the Yulin Army is the title of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tiger Ben Army of the Ming Dynasty has it, but the Tiger Ben Guard was abolished when the guard was abolished last time.

"In this matter, the emperor still needs to inform the cabinet, if the emperor has no other opinions, the minister will start the selection with Li Huaizhong in the capital camp." Liu Hong gradually said again.

It is said that it is a reform of the military system, but in fact it is just a change of name, a replacement of a batch, and a new batch.

Even if the cabinet has a grudge in his heart, there is no way to do it now, since Liu Hong gradually took charge of the army, the affairs of the military courtiers have rarely been touched.

Liu Hong gradually didn't consider the origin of the names of the Praetorian Guard and the Yulin Army, he just felt that the Praetorian Guard sounded a little more domineering and louder than Jingying.

As soon as the Praetorian Guard came out, they were invincible, and those who offended me would be punished even if they were far away.

"Your Majesty, lunch has been prepared, and Chief Gu said that it is time to eat." The two were chatting sentence by sentence, and Fat Dahai knocked lightly on the door.
