Chongzhen's fists clenched several times, and then slowly let go, he really wanted to hammer the second stunned man in front of him hard, the emperor can't be wrong, don't you know? This kind of accusation is really enough, if it weren't for the fact that you are young and ignorant, hum, I would ......

Chongzhen held back the fire in his belly, but he finally held back, for no other reason, this kid's words penetrated into it, pointing directly to the point, among the ministers, there were many people who participated in the impeachment and accused themselves, but they were all irrelevant and useless, except for Zhu Jie's words, which affected the life and death of the imperial court, I didn't want to hear it, and I had to listen to it!

"So, do you want me to give you all the power without any restraint?"

Chongzhen asked coldly.

Zhu Jie said proudly: "Your Majesty, when it is extraordinary, you have to use extraordinary methods, the so-called art industry has a specialization, not only is it too absurd to send a supervising army, but also the way to control the military with literature, which is also absurd, just send a Wenchen to lead thousands of troops and horses, and compete with the world's famous generals, that is to attack the other's strengths with their own shortcomings, and seek their own death, not all the ministers of the Ming Dynasty are as civil and military as Lu Xiangsheng, at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, which Wenchen can control the generals in the army? Wenchen was afraid of the rebellion of the generals, and tried his best to attack the power of the generals, is there no rebellion among the Wenchens? Aren't generals loyal? How can it be generalized? ”

"I'm asking you, if you want me to give the military power to you alone, without restraint!"

Chongzhen didn't have a good airway.

"Naturally, since the emperor believes in the ministers, the military power is handed over to the ministers, naturally there can be no constraints, once the minister leads the army to the battle, it must be in the hands of the ministers, if you don't win, please behead the ministers, however, if the emperor wants to command remotely, once defeated, the ministers can not bear any responsibility! In the military camp of the minister, there is absolutely no eunuch to exist! ”

Chongzhen was speechless for a while, special, special, really stunned, really dare to say, even if I give you this power, then you have to agree with the courtiers......

"Zhu Aiqing, the prison army still has to be sent, after all, this is the regulation of the imperial court, if you don't send it, I'm afraid that the courtiers in the court will make it upside down, of course, in order to make it easier for you, I will give you a secret decree, military affairs, no one is controlled, and the marching army has no right to interfere, how?"

Only then did Zhu Jie nod and replied: "Your Majesty, it is best for you to withdraw the eunuchs under the command of Inspector Sun, or give Inspector Sun a secret decree, you know, he is now facing hundreds of thousands of thieves, and he has to deal with Zhang Xianzhong of Liangchuan, if he is constrained everywhere, there will be a hundred harms and no benefits to the situation......

"That's it! Sun Chuanting's affairs, you don't care, I have my own ideas! ”

Chongzhen shouted angrily, it's a joke, Sun Chuanting is an out-and-out thorn, someone must contain him in the army, otherwise, once something happens, it will be too late to regret it!

Zhu Jie said helplessly: "Okay, Your Majesty, the minister went on to talk about the Fourteen Guards, the Fourteen Guards have a total of 80,000 troops, according to the minister's estimates, the real strength should be less than 50,000, and the rest have been paid by generals at all levels. ”

"Tell me how to do it?"

Chongzhen asked.

Zhu Jie said in a deep voice: "80,000 people are too many, and the minister can't train 80,000 elites in one go, the minister only needs 40,000 troops, among the fourteen guards, the minister only retains 20,000 people, and the rest are all abolished, and then the 10,000 cavalry under the minister is filled into it, and then the 10,000 cavalry under the minister is recruited from the Beijing division, and the minister asks the emperor for permission, as for the other 40,000 soldiers, one is used to buy weapons, and it is used to improve people's livelihood, killing ......two birds with one stone."

"Forty thousand? What's that enough? ”

Chongzhen was a little hesitant, "If the Qing army is on the border, relying on 40,000 people, can it repel or even defeat the Qing army?" ”

Zhu Jie said firmly: "As long as the emperor implements the minister's strategy, the minister is ninety percent sure that the Qing army will be blocked outside the Shanhai Pass!" ”

"Why not ten percent?"

Zhu Jie said with a smile: "The rest of the Yicheng is in the hands of God, and the minister is helpless......

The flesh on Chongzhen's cheeks twitched, and he asked unwillingly: "Zhu Aiqing, now there are dozens of guards in the Gyeonggi area, with more than 100,000 people, when the Qing army comes, it will be useless, and you only rely on 40,000 people?" ”

Zhu Jie said: "Your Majesty, in Xuanfu Datong, didn't Lu Xiangsheng also rely on tens of thousands of elites of Xuanda to do it?" 40,000 soldiers who dare to fight and are good at fighting, far better than more than 100,000 rabble, the minister has such a certainty, the minister has only one request, that is, to give the minister power, let the minister defend and act, the salary of 40,000 soldiers can not be short of one or two silver, and the rest of the things, although handed over to the minister! ”

Chongzhen gritted his teeth and replied, "Okay, if there are any other requests, let's say them together, I can promise all to satisfy you!" ”

Zhu Jie said with a smile: "There is one more point, then allow the minister to set up the army in Nanyuan or Tongxian area, so that it is close to the capital, and it can be dispatched at any time to protect the safety of the Beijing Division, and the Qing Kou enters the customs, and the army under the command of the minister bears the brunt of it, directly guarding the safety of the Beijing Division, at the same time, the fields that the emperor has just recovered from Tian Hongyu and others are mostly concentrated in the Gyeonggi area, and the ministers ask for a piece of land for the army to settle the fields, which can also reduce the burden on the imperial court, 40,000 troops, the emperor only needs to allocate 4,000 hectares of land, It's enough to meet the needs of the army......"

"Are you going to emulate Lu Xiangsheng in Xuanda Tuntian?"

Chongzhen asked.

Zhu Jie replied: "Yes, the emperor, this is a must, now the imperial treasury is empty, even if the salt tax is recovered, it will take a year to see the results, the minister can only be self-reliant during this time, but these fields are owned by the imperial court, the army can only cultivate, harvest, once the army is stationed elsewhere, the land will be recovered......"

"Okay, I'll promise you, give you the Son of Heaven Sword, let you act cheaply in the army, station in Tongzhou, give two days and four thousand hectares, boy, I have promised you everything, if you can't make a name for me, I can't spare you!!"

"Minister, Zhu Jie, thank you Emperor Longen!"

Zhu Jie let out a long breath, and his hands were already sweating nervously, even if Chongzhen had great faith in Lu Xiangsheng at the beginning, and arranged for the eunuchs to supervise the army, now this Chongzhen actually agreed to his request, no one hindered him, let him do it, so what else can he scruple about?

"Okay, don't pretend, since people stay in the capital, they can't even have a mansion, pass the decree, and the Tian Mansion of Tian Hongyu, who was confiscated, will be given to you, work hard, and build a strong army for me today!"
