Chapter 590: Restlessness (3)

If the martial artists of the Five Military Palace want to succeed, there must be one person among the people they want to contact who can't avoid it.

That is Zhu Di, the King of Yan who is in Nanjing.

Beijing is not far from Nanjing, and Zhu Di quickly received a letter from his brother-in-law.

After receiving this letter, Zhu Di just sneered in the letter when Xu Huizu hoped that Zhu Di could come to Beijing.

He laughed at his brother-in-law for being too stupid.

Still having fantasies about the emperor?

"He could still think so naively that this petition was just Xu Buji's idea?"

Dozens of generals gathered in Zhu Di's mansion, most of whom were commanded by the commanders of the provinces in various provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, and they also received a letter from Xu Huizu.

"The Lone has retreated. You can walk the way yourself, don't ask the Lone."

At this time, Zhu Di was not in the mood to get involved any more. He drove away all the generals who came to test the house, without any intention of interfering. After driving these people away, he wrote a letter to Zhu Gaoxu.

"Dad hopes you can be a pure, clean soldier."

Be a pure, clean soldier!

This is Zhu Di's only message to his son.

The mission of a soldier is to defend his country, make contributions on the battlefield, and it is also the only way to realize the value of life. Don’t always think about what privileges you should enjoy if you are trying to save fire and fire for this country.

"People's hearts cannot be filled. Be careful when your desires are unsatisfactory. There are also a group of officers and soldiers under your command who are in urgent need of realizing their life ambitions."

This warning is enough to alert Zhu Gaoxu.

He is already the commander-in-chief of the Northeast War Zone, what else do you want to think about?

This sentence is very clear. There are hundreds of thousands of troops in the entire Northeast War Zone. How many people want to be the commander-in-chief?

As long as they want to do it, they are unswerving royalists, loyal fans of Zhu Yunwen, and will never be Zhu Gaoxu's private army.

Xu Huizu has fallen into a misunderstanding of thought, believing that their official ranks and power are high, and that only when they support the emperor can the emperor rule stably.

If the aristocrats become royalists, the emperor's authority will never be stable. Only by allowing the middle and lower-class people who desire to be nobles to be royalists can the emperor's authority be difficult forever.

Those who want to make trouble are just a group of high-ranking officials who seem to be intimidating, but in fact they are just a group of old men who are old and have no power to tie up. Most of the people in this country are ordinary soldiers who are in their twenties who are young and eager to be generals and marshals.

They will not follow Xu Huizu and others to confront the imperial power, they will only tie up those who confront the imperial power to replace them with their own advancement.

This is the unquestionable reality.

Unless one day, when this emperor is no longer worth mentioning in the eyes of middle and lower-class soldiers, the so-called situation of changing the state army into private armed forces will occur. Of course, you must be able to support these ordinary soldiers who need to rely on military pay to support your family.

Zhu Di warned Zhu Gaoxu that at the same time in Jiangxi, it was the end of the year when Yang Shiqi saw that he returned home for the New Year and was already ranked as the son of the left governor of Henan.

Yang Ji has many things to ask for about his father.

"Your Majesty has always wanted to expand territory, but at this time the interests of using military merits will affect the enthusiasm of the military? Isn't this operation a bit unreasonable?"

"childish!"

He scolded without mercy and Yang Shiqi taught: "Do you think this is the cabinet seizing power? This is the central government centralizing power. It is His Majesty who is purifying military power and making the army completely become a national army, without imprinting the name of a general with so-called military merits and prestige.

The reason why the Five Military Palaces made such a big fuss this time is because they believe that they have been fighting for decades and have made contributions to this country, and they should ask for the rewards they deserve from this country.

In fact, those who really give the most precious things for this country no longer have the chance to ask for anything from the country, because those people give their lives!

This time, Your Majesty will definitely take this opportunity to separate all the interests of the noble class, and then disperse them to the heads of every soldier in the entire army, and the military power will be highly concentrated in Your Majesty's hands.

Those marshals and generals killed hundreds of thousands of enemies on the battlefield, and they really thought they were invincible? That was the result of the three armies' hard work and artillery fire, not the ones they cut themselves out with their own sword.

In fact, denying their achievements is to affirm the contributions of grassroots officers and soldiers, it is to sacrifice a small part of their hearts for the morale of the entire army. In the future, the generals will definitely be pure and clean soldiers, not a person who is full of self-interest, and always worry about whether they can use their military power to gain personal gain for themselves and their families."

Every era always has different choices. If the Ming Dynasty does not have sharp artillery and guns, and is still in the era of cold weapons, then an excellent marshal is of course very important.

It’s like at the beginning of time travel, Zhu Yunwen certainly had to accommodate Zhu Di for this country and forgive Zhu Di’s rebelliousness and reluctance.

And to this day, a famous general is still important, but no longer an indispensable one.

Li Yunlong led the Independent Regiment with a light and heavy machine gun, and three thousand people fought Han Xin and his army of 300,000 were able to win. Everyone knew that Li Yunlong would definitely win.

But who would say that Li Yunlong is a better military commander than Han Xin?

It is because of the progress of the times that Zhu Yunwen had to start purifying the army's thoughts.

When Ma Dajun was in charge, Zhu Yunwen had already released this signal.

He did not go out of the city to pick him up dozens of miles, did not go to entertain him at a banquet, and did not go to boast about him explicitly.

It was just an appointment of imperial decree, letting some people know that Ma Dajun became the new chief of staff.

Gradually reducing the influence of soldiers in this country is a good thing for a country, not a bad thing.

Zhu Yunwen is just reducing the risk of military interference in politics that may arise in the future. He is by no means trying to suppress the status of soldiers and emphasize civil and military affairs.

The salary, subsidies, food, and military merits of ordinary officers and soldiers are getting higher and higher every year. Although they are hard to be a soldier, they also earn more than working and farming, and they are still treated well.

"Where is the opponent of his Majesty in politics? They always feel how great they are, but they don't know that when they get together to discuss using their own self-righteous means to defend their rightful power, they are truly betrayal.

It’s not that Your Majesty cut himself off from the military, but that they cut off from the soldiers across the country! Because they shamelessly gathered all the achievements of all soldiers in their bloody battles, and boldly said that one general’s success was a reward for them by the way of heaven. This is the same as Xu Buji’s rebuke as his father’s words that the water is clear and there is no fish, and it is also a paradox.

Just watch it, this matter will be a long time, but the final result must be that Your Majesty takes this opportunity to highly unify the morale and military power of the whole country. Your Majesty has long experienced it for many years. A group of ignorant people try to be a chariot, but they don’t know that they are all chessboards, and every step is within His Majesty’s expectations.”

How easy is it to break the military power that seems to have a very powerful deterrent force?

It only takes a decree to inform the entire army and tell the soldiers, officers, and generals that their annual salary will increase.

Will Xu Huizu and others who will not betray their class, will ordinary soldiers betray their own class?

Human hearts are also the simplest.

egoism!

Whoever can make them full, give them honor, and give them room for promotion will definitely support who they want to die for.

And who else can give these three points in the world besides Zhu Yunwen?

Unfortunately, Yang Shiqi could see through such a simple and easy-to-understand truth at a glance, but Xu Huizu and others who were in the whirlpool could not see through it.

They are still waiting for the support and response from the provinces, and waiting for the approval of the command of military generals above the first level in the military regions.

When the world is moving, they are moving further and completely fighting.
