"How can the emperor know about this kind of thing?" Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said, "But I'm not guessing, because my second uncle is also like this to those generals." After a pause, he said: "But on the other hand, the emperor also wants to see those noble sons and daughters become weapons, after all, the hereditary military generals are the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor does not want to destroy it." ”

"Hmm." Wang Xian nodded, he understood why Zhu Zhanji's young army would violate the harmony like this, it turned out that he wanted to have the best of both worlds, but he ended up making a four-way difference.

"In any case, we must train the young army as soon as possible." Zhu Zhanji looked at Wang Xian's buttocks, there was something he wanted to do again in the future, but he couldn't help it, so he had to say with a bitter face: "This autumn, the emperor will hold a big military exercise in Fangshan, and our young army will make its first appearance." ”

"Huh?" Wang Xian opened his mouth in surprise and said, "Only less than three months? ”

"It's only two months and six days, to be exact." Zhu Zhanji said gloomily: "My second uncle's gang are waiting to see my jokes."

"And what were you going to do?"

"My original plan was to entrust it to the Xue family brothers." Zhu Zhanji shrugged and said, "If they run out of tricks, they will ask their father for help." Yang Wuhou is the dignified right governor, and he has not yet been captured for such a thing as martial arts. ”

"Isn't that good?" Wang Xian stood up.

"What?"

"Apologize to the Xue family brothers, let them beat and scold, as long as they don't pick on them." Wang Xian said weakly.

"No kidding." Zhu Zhanji smiled bitterly: "I was very conflicted, but you just helped me make up my mind." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Because in that case, the young army will become the Xue family army. And the emperor is aware of everything, and I will definitely not be able to hide it from him with this little caution. What the emperor wants to see is the soldiers I personally trained, and I will definitely be unhappy about that. ”

"Sure enough, it's a good boy, but the question is," Wang Xian looked at Zhu Zhanji and said, "Do you have any other way?" ”

"Nope. I really can't do it, I have to go on my own. Zhu Zhanji scratched his head and said: "I have been familiar with military books since I was a child, and I also know some methods of military training. But I need officers, and that's more than 10,000 new soldiers. Really, it's the first time I've led a soldier, and I can give a thousand people to train first

"Today's emperor is an emperor through the ages, and he is bold, and a thousand people can't take it." Wang Xian said with a smile.

"You quite understand the emperor." Zhu Zhanji agreed: "But without a large number of qualified officers, the immortals can't train." ”

"Well," Wang Xian thought for a moment, "the problem now becomes, how to find a suitable group of middle- and lower-level officers. ”

"That's fine." Zhu Zhanji pouted and said: "But it's almost impossible, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is my second uncle's territory, and those generals who listen to him will not help me." Yang Wuhou is just an exception, and he won't help me now......"

"Not necessarily, maybe he'll have to thank you." Wang Xian shook his head and said, "And the Jin Shangshu of the Ministry of War, he shouldn't be a person from His Royal Highness the King of Han, right?" ”

"Jin Shangshu, he can't be regarded as my second uncle's person, but the military department deals with the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies everywhere, and he won't offend my second uncle for us." Zhu Zhanji said: "And the power to transfer troops and send generals is in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, not in him." ”

"Generally speaking, there are more solutions than difficulties, but most of the time, the solutions are in the hearts of others." Wang Xian shook his head and said: "The dignified military department is still in the book, I don't believe that he can't help it, even if a dead horse is a live horse doctor, he has to try his luck." ”

"Since you're like that, then I'll give it a trip." Zhu Zhanji is as good as a stream.

"Your goal is too big, so I'd better probe first." Wang Xian smiled bitterly: "I will be much more natural." ”

"Nature?" Zhu Zhanji looked at Wang Xian's buttocks, imagining his limping appearance, and couldn't help but laugh: "Are you so suitable for the Yamen of the Ministry of War?" ”

"No, no...... Wang Xian whispered, "I don't believe you, wait and see." ”

"You're back to God." Zhu Zhanji did not believe it. But after only half an hour, he believed it, because the military department sent someone to spread the word that Wang Xian had passed, and Lord Shangshu wanted to see him.

"You are still a god" The same five words, different tones, are different meanings.

"It's nothing, it's just that when I first entered Beijing, Jin Shangshu warned me that he would keep an eye on my ...... at all times," Wang Xian said calmly.

"What are you staring at?"

"If I make a mistake, I'll be kicked out of the young army." Wang Xian smiled bitterly: "It doesn't seem to give you much face." ”

"In their eyes, I'm just a hairy child, what face can I have? But forgive him, don't dare not give Yao Shi face," Zhu Zhanji sneered and said, "You might as well rub it for a while." ”

"Why?"

"You are a student of Master Yao, I have arranged for someone to accidentally leak it, and I am well-informed about the book, and I should already know the Tao by now." Zhu Zhanji said: "But for the sake of prudence, you better stay later." ”

"It's fine." Wang Xian nodded and said with a wry smile: "I don't know when the old monk will know the Tao." ”

"Master Yao is busy chanting Buddha all day long, how can he bother to pay attention to this trivial matter......" Zhu Zhanji comforted irresponsibly.

"I hope so......" Wang Xian closed his eyes depressedly.

The yamen of the military department, in the room where the book is signed.

For the sake of secrecy, there are no windows in the signing room, airtight, and it is even more stuffy, and it can't relieve the heat with ice buckets.

Even though the back of his clothes was soaked with sweat, Jin Shangshu still sat neatly dressed behind the big case, meticulously handling official documents. Early this morning, the emperor announced that he had accepted the title of Arutai Nagong, and with his understanding of the emperor, Mahamu and Warat would definitely be in big trouble - the emperor had the idea of conquest again.

This also means that he, the secretary of the military department, is also in big trouble. Although the imperial court has a governor's office of the five armies that is in charge of leading troops to fight, the heavy tasks of logistics support and army allocation are all pressed on his head, the secretary of the military department. Jin Shangshu knows the resolute character of Emperor Lu Dao, once he makes up his mind, he will definitely not delay it for too long, and it will definitely be too late to prepare now, so he must take precautions and go in advance.

Unlike Zhu Yuanzhang, who was seriously suspicious, Zhu Di gave his ministers a deep trust, and the six ministers appointed by the ministers were used for many years, and he was not worried that they would be autocratic. For example, Jian Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Xia Yuanji, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, and him, the secretary of the Ministry of War, all started to be in the early years of Yongle, and they have not been replaced until now. Of course, this is based on the premise that Emperor Yongle has the wisdom of people, and Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji, and Jin Zhong are all worthy of the emperor's trust. It can even be that it is their painstaking efforts and dedication that support the glory of Yongle Shengshi

Simply thinking about the great deeds that Zhu Di has made in ten years, you can understand the difficulties of several scholars. Later generations can't even imagine how they survived with Zhu Di, the second master who can toss through the ages. Jin Zhong's answer is simple, only Zhonger...... After returning from the next dynasty, Jin Shangshu ordered someone to move the file and began to do his homework, and the more he did it, the more solemn his face became. Because he found that at the end of the year, he had made too many concessions to Xia Shangshu of the household department, which led to a significant reduction in the expenditure of the military department, and the Jiaozhi side was not pacified as scheduled, and the result was ordnance, armor, equipment, grain and grass...... It's only enough to maintain daily operations, but it's not enough to cope with the march of a large army.

The reason why he was willing to give in to Xia Shangshu at the beginning was because he knew that the financial situation of the Ming Dynasty was very bad, and the common people were already overwhelmed, and they could no longer rely on the indiscriminate issuance of treasure money to plunder the people's wealth. Only then did he resist the reproach of the king of Han and such nobles and agreed to reduce military spending. Of course, this must have been agreed by the emperor, but no one expected that Arutai would suddenly surrender.

Now that the opportunity has suddenly come, with the emperor's character, he will definitely leave behind his promise not to go on the Northern Expedition for five years, which is simply certain. So Jin Zhongzhi said, this pit must be filled by himself, and the thought of asking Xia Yuanji for that iron rooster made him have a headache.

Jin Shangshu was depressed, and he came in to report that the two groups of young army generals had a fight in Yihong Pavilion last night.

The young army was formed by Jin Zhong on the orders of the emperor, at least in the early stage of formation, he was responsible for something that happened, so Jin Zhong ordered people to keep an eye on them and report at any time if there was a situation. Hearing this news, Jin Shangshu had a headache even more, since the formation of the young army, fights have been commonplace. Originally, I was still fighting with outsiders, but now it's good, and the nest is fighting......

"Okay, my guts are getting fatter." Jin Shangshu snorted coldly and said, "Is there another Xue family brother?" He decided that this time he had to punish him severely.

"Yes, the brothers of the Xue family are on the one hand," Chang Sui whispered: "The Wang Xian that His Royal Highness the Taisun brought to the capital is the other side. Jin Zhong ordered them to keep an eye on Wang Xian's movements at all times, so Chang Sui deliberately emphasized.

"Good boy, really take the warning of this seat as a deaf ear" Jin Shangshu said with a dark face: "He thinks that if he makes some noise in the capital, he can be unscrupulous?" Even if this seat offends the grandson this time, he will be driven out of the capital."

"Yes." Chang Sui responded softly, but secretly said in his heart, that's because you want to repair the relationship with His Royal Highness King Han.

The people who know you best are naturally the people around you, and Chang Sui guessed Jin Zhong's thoughts. Jin Shangshu really wanted to repair the relationship with Zhu Gaoxu, but it was not because of any schemes, but because of the upcoming war, it was necessary for the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies to work together. And to drive Wang Xian out of the young army, he promised the other party before, but he was afraid of the face of the grandson, and he had been waiting for the right opportunity. Unexpectedly, only a few days later, the opportunity came......

As soon as Lord Shangshu gave the order, Wang Xian was carried into the carriage and came to the yamen of the military department.

The six yamen are heavy, and the carriage is not allowed to enter, at least Wang Xian is not allowed to enter by car of this grade, so he has to let Erhei carry himself inside.

"Stand still, as soon as the lower officials enter the yamen, they must walk, and they will come down and walk by themselves," the soldiers guarding the door stopped when they saw this.

"That's right, my lord just beat himself with forty military sticks, how can you go down to the ground?" Shuai Hui sneered: "If the lord of the ministry is not in a hurry, then how about my family first go back to heal his injuries and then walk in?" ”
