(Wow!) Thanks to the Crooked Jie and JUNJUNJUN, the first issue of Ronghua, and the reward and evaluation votes of the 8595698 tube, Xiaochai must work hard to update. ）

Xu Hao accompanied Zhu Di to inspect the defense of Beiping City, but due to limited time, he could not go to the border guards.

At this time, the morale of the Daming border army was good, and the status was much higher than in the future, but in just a few days, Xu Hao also observed several problems.

The first is the hereditary system of military households, which sooner or later will be the same as the military system of the Tang Dynasty and the military system of the Song Dynasty, gradually losing its vitality, resulting in low combat effectiveness. No one is willing to serve in the army for generations, not to mention the low social status, and good men are not soldiers.

Xu Hao has nothing to do about this for the time being, it seems that the middle and late Ming Dynasty has begun to recruit soldiers, it is not that the Han people are not good at fighting, the rotten court is the root, and then the elite soldiers fall into the hands of stupid generals and cabinets who only know political disputes, and it is really a general who is incompetent and tired to death the three armies.

The second is military salary, the standing army of more than 2 million in the Ming Dynasty was saved by Comrade Zhu in a word, everyone was busy cultivating farmland for self-sufficiency, and training was carried out only when the farm was slack, and the natural military quality deteriorated, and Zuihou completely became a group of peasants. It is true that it reversed the heavy pressure on taxes in the early Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop, but there is no benefit in being a soldier, there is a land, a wife and a son in the family, who is willing to work for the court? Once killed in battle, the whole family will even become slaves of others.

Xu Hao was at a loss for the time being, the imperial court would definitely not violate the emperor's effective national policy, and Zhu Di did not dare to change it. Let's rest for a few guards, and we'll talk about it later. Even if you offer a book of 10,000 words right away, some people who can speak well will refute your body completely.

The most needed military pay and change the system is the northern border towns and the Liaodong Peninsula, if only the soldiers could be encouraged to occupy prisoners and seize property, Xu Hao is not a professional, anyway, he thinks that if he goes to war, promotion and wealth are the first, the country's righteousness is useless to ordinary soldiers, what doctrine is useless in the early Ming Dynasty, everyone has land, who believes you?

By chance, I learned that the Liaodong Peninsula was paid by sea at the beginning, which shows that the sea transportation at this time was very safe, which made Xu Hao secretly happy. However, relying on large ships to transport military pay and materials will undoubtedly bring a heavy burden to the imperial court. Now that the shipping has stopped, except for Zhu Di, it seems that the emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty have ignored Liaodong and even the entire Northeast as a whole, and regarded it as a barren land infested by savages.

Anyway, it's enough to pay attention to yourself, and sooner or later you will have to set off a bloody storm in Liaodong.

Zhu Di attaches great importance to the Jurchen ethnic groups, and he is to suppress the Korean shili in Liaodong and support the Jurchens against Korea. And Xu Hao's idea is completely opposite to Zhu Di, North Korea is the most subject country of the Great Ming Dynasty, just like the Ming Dynasty, sooner or later it will lose its ambition to expand its territory and immerse itself in the eight articles of Zhi Huye.

History can also prove to some extent that North Korea is not the henchman of the Ming Dynasty, but the Manchu Qing is. Thinking of this, Xu Hao was so damn angry, why didn't you Manchu conquer Korea and the Japanese Kingdom? Lao Tzu still doesn't believe it, let's not die.

The third is the greatest reliance of the traverser, invention and creation. Although Xu Hao is not proficient in anything, he can completely point fingers, as long as he continues to carry out team research and development, with the experience and wisdom of the ancients, sooner or later it will blossom and bear fruit.

It's a pity that he doesn't talk to me at the moment, and Xu Hao is not qualified to go deep into the craftsman workshop that is the biggest secret of Yanwang Mansion.

All in all, since Xu Hao doesn't want to expose what makes him different from others, he can hardly do anything now.

But it doesn't matter, it's still a long way to go. The first time I came to Yanwang's Mansion, the first thing I did was to get close to Zhu Di and his wife, whether it was for myself or for anything, establishing a good relationship was the only basis for holding power in the future, and it was a fool's move to sacrifice the original and seek the end.

In this way, Xu Hao only has ears and eyes, he doesn't say a word about what he shouldn't say, he listens and sees with his heart, he has something to learn.

Zhu Di is very satisfied with this, no one is disgusted with people who don't know how to pretend to be exaggerated, Xu Hao's humility and silence are exactly what he should do as a fledgling junior, instead of relying on a little insight and recklessly.

All the military systems of the Ming Dynasty were built on the basis of continuous wars, and they were the most effective for the current era, and the facts have also proved it. Not to mention Xu Hao, a layman, what can he do if he is a modern military general?

Yanwang Mansion, Xu Hao looked back on everything he saw today, and seemed to have learned a lot, but he didn't seem to have learned anything.

I could feel that the atmosphere in each health center was a little tense and depressing, and I kept practicing day and night.

Zhu Neng said that autumn and winter are the most vulnerable times, and in the past few months, Zhu Di has almost traveled all over his defensive areas, and nearly 10,000 military horses and a large amount of grain and grass are stationed in the city, ready to attack the enemy at any time.

Just when Xu Hao was thinking nonsense, a palace maid came to invite him into the inner house, and Princess Yan invited him to come over to talk. Xu Hao then wrote the word cement on the paper, got up and followed the palace maid.

The inner house of Yanwangfu is a little shabby, the garden is not as good as the Xu family, far less than the style of the several main halls outside, but the characteristics are large, the same courtyard house, the area is several times larger.

In an elegantly decorated flower hall, Princess Yan Xu said apologetically: "Your uncle received an urgent report and has taken someone to Daning Mansion, and when he left, he said that you would return to Beijing in a few days, so I won't take you to see it." ”

Xu Hao said with a smile: "Calculate the time, I will leave in a few days." Alas, I can't bear my aunt. ”

Xu smiled: "You kid can speak, I know that you don't mean it, and my aunt is willing to listen." ”

Xu Hao walked to Xu's side and sat down, and said seriously: "I am really reluctant, it is the first time I have been away from home for so long, and seeing my aunt is like seeing my mother, how can I not feel more cordial?" Besides, your aunt is the most kind person, although you married your uncle early, but your legend is still circulating in the family. Grandmother, the old man, said that her aunt was smart and sensible since she was a child, and she was full of talent, but it was a pity that she was a daughter, otherwise it would not be difficult to be admitted to the Jinshi. ”

Xu shook his head and sighed: "It's really flamboyant, don't pour me ecstasy soup anymore, just say anything directly, I still have someone I don't follow?" ”

Xu Hao said in surprise: "Please? No, absolutely nothing. ”

Xu pretended to be angry and said: "If you say it, just say it, you are my nephew, the family doesn't have to go around, it doesn't seem hypocritical, it's boring." ”

Xu Hao hurriedly said, "There really isn't." Auntie, think about it, I don't lack anything, what do I ask you for? What's more, now that I am still young, I am already a royal guard and an uncle's subordinate, and I am already very satisfied. ”

"Really?"

This time it was Xu's turn to be surprised, she thought that Xu Hao would be intimate as soon as she came, she must have asked for herself, but she didn't expect it to be as she thought, it seems that this child is purely coquettish to herself.

As soon as he thought of this, family affection flowed in his heart, and Xu Shi was moved, and said with a smile: "Then my aunt will believe you for the time being, sure enough, you are the most favored by the old lady for no reason, and a mouth will be sweet to death." ”

“haha！” Xu Hao daxiao said with a smile: "As a junior, no matter how old you are, you are a child in front of your elders, since you are a child, why should you have scruples?" If you like it, say it directly, make it if you want to be close, and it is not advisable to blindly hide filial piety in your heart, in case you wait until everyone is gone, even if you want to say and do it, it is already too late. ”

Xu Shi was immediately moved, and said with deep feelings: "Hao'er still thinks thoroughly and understands her opinions." Even I am ashamed that I am far inferior to you, thinking that I married His Royal Highness when I was a teenager, as a concubine, I always want to correct my identity, take into account the overall situation in everything, and make a bowl of water even.

Therefore, in teaching you a few brothers and sisters, it is inevitable that you are too dignified, so that you are not close to a few children, and now you regret it, so you can only give your cousin Gao Sui full of love, which made Gao Xu very dissatisfied, complaining about the favoritism of being a mother, and moved to his own palace early. ”

Xu Hao said: "It is human nature to love your young son, but it is not good to spoil it too much. In fact, my aunt can talk to her three sons openly, and as a son, she must be able to understand her mother's hardships. ”

Xu said with a smile: "What I said is that when the two of them come back, they will accompany their sons as good students." By the way, you have met two guests of honor, what is your character and appearance? ”

Xu Hao pondered for a moment and said: "The saint personally selected it, it is naturally impeccable in all aspects, as for the character nephew, I dare not say it, because the time of contact is still short, I can't see clearly." Probably with the status of our family, they don't dare to do anything wrong. ”

Xu Shi looked at his demeanor carefully and spoke, nodding secretly. In contrast, Xu Song is far inferior to him in all aspects, and chatting with him gives people a very comfortable feeling, the most important thing is that this child does not hide his selfishness, and dares to speak outright, which is undoubtedly the most rare.

Although the Xu family is the concubine of the Yan Wang, the status in the Yan Wangfu is second only to Zhu Di, but the huge palace is full of cold arrows and plots, and after marrying into the royal family, it can be said that it is frightening step by step, once you take a wrong step, even if you are a princess, you can't bear it, and people are always vigilant and vigilant between people, and they dare not trust others.

What's more, far away in Beiping, there is hardly any help from her mother's family, and the Xu family is just a woman after all, and sometimes she is extremely depressed. Although I don't want my mother's family to rely on my identity to act arbitrarily, I always want to have one or two trusted and reliable family members to help me.

Obviously, Xu Hao in front of him is the most suitable, he can speak and do things, he has insight and courage, and as a nephew who is as proud as himself, he is not afraid that he will betray himself. And he is now half of the Yanwang Mansion, has an excellent relationship with his two sons, is valued by his husband, and has no involvement with everyone in the Yanwang Mansion, so he is undoubtedly the best person to be trusted.

It's a pity that he will return to the capital soon, Xu frowned and thought.
