Chapter 859 Swap defenses, military flags

Zhu Cilang attached great importance to the prince and had been with him since childhood to train him carefully.

The higher the starting point, the greater the achievement. Whether it is meeting military generals or civil officials, the prince will be influenced by political influence from a young age.

Zhu Ciyang hopes to train the prince into a new generation of wise rulers, inherit his ambitions, and lead the Ming Dynasty to create new glory!

Fortunately, Prince Zhu Hebi has excellent qualifications and has shown many extraordinary performances at a young age. He is also very diligent after studying in the woods.

Zhu Cilang often praises people: "My son and Your Majesty have the resources of the Holy Lord."

Seeing the emperor and the prince coming in full spirit, the generals bowed and shouted: "I will meet your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live your prince, thousand years of your prince!"

With the demonic rise of Emperor Tianwu, the generals dare not underestimate the new generation of crown princes, and they all seriously regard him as the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Cilang smiled and raised his hand and said, "All my dear friends, please calm down!"

Zhu Cilang sat on the imperial throne covered with a whole tiger skin, and waved his hand to let the generals sit down.

After the Crown Prince Zhu Hebi sat next to Zhu Cixuan, everyone sat down one after another, looking at the emperor in the head with restraint.

Zhu Cixuan looked at everyone in the hall and smiled and said, "This year I have summoned you again. I didn't let you stay at home, so I can't blame me."

Everyone burst into laughter, saying that Your Majesty's will is as good as the sky, and no one dared to delay for a moment.

Zhu Cilang ordered the palace servants to serve tea to the generals and announced that they had entered the deliberation process.

First, Chief Military Affairs Minister Sun Yingyuan read out the imperial edict. From the first day of next year, the Ming Dynasty abolished the compulsory military service system and changed it to the recruitment system, selecting the source of troops from the preferred choice.

The generals nodded slightly and expressed their approval.

With the development over the years, the Ming Dynasty had 150,000 Tianwu Army, Jingwu Army, Dingwu Army, Anwu Army, Tianxiong Army, and the three Protectorate Army, each with nearly 100,000 troops.

There are also two major naval fleets, the city defense forces of local provinces, and overseas troops stationed in Nanyang. The total number of troops in the Ming Dynasty has exceeded one million.

The war has basically subsided, and the country is as stable as Mount Tai. Only the borders sometimes have some friction with small neighboring countries. However, the Ming army takes the initiative, so there is no need to do anything else. The whole people are soldiers and prepare so many reserves.

Next, Wu Zhong, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor, read out the personnel transfers of various soldiers.

Since the second year of Tianwu, the army has been stationed in all directions across the country for seven or eight years. It is time to change the nest, which is also the main part of this discussion.

However, Zhu Cilang did not make much move and just exchanged the main generals of each army.

For example, Huang Degong and other generals from the Southern Army Governor's Office were transferred to the Central Army Governor's Office to take charge of the three armies of the Emperor. Huang Degong took over as the Chief Minister of Military Affairs.

Generals such as Sun Yingyuan from the Central Army Governor's Office were transferred to the Southern Army Governor's Office to take charge of the Jingwu Army, and Li Dingguo was also transferred to Yunnan.

Yang Yufan and other generals from the Eastern Army Governor's Office were transferred to the Northern Army Governor's Office, taking charge of the Tianxiong Army and garrisoning the old border walls of the Great Wall such as Beijing.

Generals such as Lu Xiangkun from the Northern Army Governor's Office were transferred to the Western Army Governor's Office, taking charge of the Dingwu Army, stationed in Xijing and controlling several provinces within Jiayuguan.

Zhou Yuji, the Great Protector of the Western Protectorate, was transferred to the Great Protectorate of the Northern Protectorate, to deter the Three Mongolian tribes in the northern desert, and continued to expand to Siberia to expel the Tsarist Russian forces.

After resigning from the former Protector of the East Protectorate, Mao Yuanyi, the deputy Protector of the East Protectorate, was transferred to the Protectorate of the West Protectorate to deter the Kazakh Khanate and extended his power to Central Asia.

Li Shaoyou, the former Protector of the North Protectorate, was transferred to the Protectorate of the East Protectorate, stationed in Seoul on the Korean Peninsula, stabilized the situation on the peninsula, and developed the two islands of Kyushu and Siguo.

The situation on the entire island of Japan was also monitored by the Protectorate of the East to collect information about the Daming of the various vassal lords. At appropriate times, several vassal lords could be supported to disrupt the situation in Japan and create conditions for the Ming Dynasty to send troops to the island country.

In short, in the next few years of the Ming Dynasty, wars will be needed to continue to regain the sacred territories of China since ancient times.

The generals and work arrangements were replaced for two full hours, and each general thoroughly implemented Emperor Tianwu's concept of opening up the border.

At noon, Zhu Cilang used imperial meals in Wuying Hall, and all the generals present were ordered to accompany him to eat.

After eating, the discussion continued.

Zhu Cilang clapped his hands with a smile, and immediately a team of eunuchs came from outside the hall, holding some rolled up flags in his arms.

The eunuchs spread the flag together, and everyone's eyes lit up, but there were dragon flags of different shapes.

These dragon flags are rectangular and red in their bodies. In each flag, there is a giant dragon circling in the auspicious clouds, giving people a feeling of passion and passion.

This is the traditional dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the military flag that is currently commonly used in the Ming army.

A wise general could see at a glance that Your Majesty was going to unify the military flag!

Some time ago, the imperial court used newspapers to enlist national opinions in order to design the national flag, and finally set the first national flag of the Ming Dynasty.

After the national flag is set, the current military flag must also be unified.

In the past, the Ming army had many and complicated military flags, including flying tigers, black turtles, old oxes, etc.

It was not until the Tianwu Army showed its might that Zhu Cixuan and his group of military generals uniformly used the dragon flag as the military flag to show their merits of following the dragon.

Zhu Cilang ordered people to spread the flag, pointing to the dragon-shaped pattern on it and said: "The dragon flag is a kind of military soul. It represents the courage of the soldiers of the entire army and the momentum of victory in every battle!"

"I have decided that all troops will use the dragon flag as the military flag!"

Looking at the flag, each general was overjoyed.

Many generals came out of the Tianwu Army. The enemies who were frightened by the time, they ran away when they saw the dragon flag. The momentum and spirit of the dragon flag had penetrated into the bones of each general.

Some people are really worried that the emperor will issue an order, and only allow the Tianwu Army of the emperor's three armies to use the dragon flag and not allow other troops to use it.

Now it seems that this worry is unnecessary.

Although the Ming army used the dragon flag uniformly, the flags of each army were obviously different, and the colors of the silk edges were all different.

The silk edges of the dragon flag are blood red all over, representing the military flag of the Tianwu Army.

The silk edge of the dragon flag is black, representing the military flag of the Jingwu Army.

The silk edges of the dragon flag are blue, representing the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, there are white silk edges, green silk edges, and purple silk edges.

In addition, there are also differences in the dragon flags of divisions, brigades and regiments under each army.

Except for the different poles heights, their flags are different in size. If the units are large, the corresponding blue dragon pattern in the flag is larger and there is no number belt.

For example, the group flag has a pole that is one foot high and has a tassel.

The brigade flag has a pole of one meter and three feet high and a tassel head.

The army flag has a pole of one meter and five feet high, with tassels, beads, pheasants, tails.

Military flags are flags that symbolize the army or established troops. The color, size of the flag, length of the flag pole and decoration are different, indicating the status of the troops and reflecting their culture.

The military flag is not strong and sharp in weapons, nor does it have armor to protect the body, but it is the embodiment of the will of the country, the representative of national dignity, and the embodiment of the soul of the army.

With the development of the times, the spiritual core of the military flag has not only not been updated like cold weapons, but has continued to be carried forward and inspired the army to continue to win.

Zhu Cilang looked at the familiar generals, looked at their eager eyes, and said with a serious expression: "I hope that these dragon flags in the future can follow you and fly across the world!"

There was a neat bow in the hall, and the generals shouted in unison: "I wish to die for Your Majesty! I wish to open up the territory for the Ming Dynasty!"

The generals shouted three times, and the sound shook the palace. Zhu Cilang stood with his hands behind his back, full of confidence.
