The problem raised by Zhu Qiyu is an urgent problem that Ming Dynasty needs to solve now.

What will this kind of top-down oppression lead to, including corporal punishment for personal use, private military service, and greed for military pay?

This will cause military households in the Ming Dynasty to constantly flee, preferring to carry black households on their backs rather than work in military camps.

Because working in the military camp will really kill you. If you run away, you may still live.

Confusion about the future and fear of death, as Yu Qian said, everything is selfish, which will make the military morale turbulent.

After a large number of soldiers fled, the low-level officers fled, which eventually led to the Ming Dynasty's army becoming larger and larger, with more and more soldiers, countless redundant personnel, but little combat effectiveness.

Military discipline cannot be guaranteed. A thief passes like a comb and a soldier passes like a grate.

This was the reason that led to the continuous decline in the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty's army.

The continuous corruption of military settlement laws is due to various factors, but the escape of military households from settlements is definitely closely related to private service.

The ruin of military settlement law also represents the rapid decline of the Ming Dynasty's military strength. This decline caused the Ming Dynasty to suffer from every battle.

The decline in military strength also forced the emperor to rely heavily on his courtiers.

"Your Majesty, I think we can let the local censors be responsible for supervising matters. We will fully investigate what is said and reported, report major matters and make decisions on minor matters." Xu Youzhen, as the leading figure in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, immediately stood up and said loudly.

Although he is about to go to Qiuyang to control floods, it does not prevent him from seizing power for the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Shi Heng snorted coldly, but due to his criminal record, it was difficult for him to express his opinion on this matter.

He also did this as a private soldier when he was in Datong Mansion, and he did so with such great fanfare that even Yu Qian wrote a memorial to impeach him.

Yang Hong stood up, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate."

Yang Hong has never done anything like a private sergeant, so he naturally has the confidence to speak.

He thought seriously for a long time and then said loudly: "Your Majesty, in the former Song Dynasty, Di Qing was a famous general in the northwest and had a long history of military exploits. He had an old subordinate named Jiao Yong who led his soldiers through Dingzhou."

"Of course Di Qing wants to treat Jiao Yong to a drink. After all, he is from the old department."

"Jiao Yong complained twice during the banquet that the food and wages given by the court were only 20%, so they all had to raise their own food and grass."

Zhu Qiyu did know Di Qing, the privy envoy of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The Privy Council was the highest military institution in the Song Dynasty, and there was no Privy Councilor all year round. Di Qing was eventually promoted to Privy Councilor because of his military exploits.

In the Song Dynasty, which valued culture over military affairs, how much merit did it take to get this unspecified official position appointed?

Yang Hong continued to bow his head and said: "It's okay if Jiao Yong doesn't complain. If he complains, something will happen."

"At that time, Han Qi, commander in chief of Dingzhou, heard Jiao Yong's complaints. Is this a big deal?"

"Han Qi directly detained Jiao Yong and wanted to kill him. Di Qing went to plead for mercy, saying that Jiao Yong had many military exploits and was a good son of the Song Dynasty."

"Han Qi said: The person who sings the first prize outside Donghua Gate is a good boy! How can this be considered a good boy?"

"Han Qi killed Jiao Yong in front of Di Qing. Since then, the former Song Dynasty rarely won a battle. Covering fear and killing him is a reflection of the army of the former Song Dynasty."

Jiao Yong was killed?

Those who roll call outside Donghua Gate are regarded as good men.

Of course Zhu Qiyu knew this. Donghua Gate was one of the imperial palace gates in the Northern Song Dynasty. After each imperial examination, the list of Jinshi was announced right outside Donghua Gate.

But he really wasn't very clear that there was such an allusion behind this sentence.

The entire Ming Dynasty actually disliked the Song Dynasty. Whenever the Song Dynasty was used as an example, it was used as a negative example, and this time was no exception.

Xu Youzhen was stunned for a long time, looking at the bachelor Chen Xun, hoping that Chen Xun would stand up and say something fair.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate is responsible for supervision and impeachment. Most governors will go to local inspections under the name of Capital Censor and Deputy Capital Censor.

Wasn't it also because of Yu Qian's enmity with Shi Heng that the imperial censor had the power to impeach?

He felt that his opinions were not considered arrogant. Why didn't everyone say anything?

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said, "Go back to work."

"I think the best policy is to let the army conduct self-examination and self-correction, but how to do self-inspection and self-correction? We still have to let the sergeants speak for themselves. I thought that every ten days I would send Jin Yiwei to each camp in Beijing to inspect and visit, and found several cases of strict handling.

No one will dare to commit the crime."

"What do you think of Yu Shaobao?"

Zhu Qiyu's imperial power extended his hand to the capital camp, which was Yu Qian's territory and confidence. Here, Zhu Qiyu also ambushed Yu Qian.

The commander of the army is an important chess piece for him.

Yu Qian stood up and said: "I think it is very good. The Jinyi Guards have the function of directly driving the guards, patrolling and apprehending. Your Majesty has made a clear decision!"

Yu Qian said yes, and he said it sincerely.

Since the Zhengtong period, Empress Dowager Sun doted on her son and stopped the emperor from inspecting the capital camp every day and handling military horses on the grounds of his young age. The royal guards directly drove the guards, and the inspection function became increasingly weak.

The Jin Yiwei gradually began to act as a favor and lost its original function.

The Jinyi Guards are composed of three parts: Han generals, school captains, and warriors. The school captains and warriors are all selected from among the people who are healthy and have no criminal record.

The generals of the Han Dynasty selected those with majestic appearance and courage to serve as palace guards.

He also reported and inspected the duties of the Beijing camp.

The emperor didn't even go, so naturally the Tiqi rarely went.

Tiqi relied on the emperor's power to favor him.

As the emperor's bodyguard, the Jin Yiwei have already failed. Shouldn't all the military in the world have to fail?

His Majesty spared no effort and was willing to parade the military horses every day, and Yu Qian couldn't be more happy.

Zhu Qiyu nodded, his backhand was completely useless.

Xing'an immediately stood up and shouted loudly: "If there is something to do, we will start, and if there is nothing, we will retreat."

This time none of the courtiers spoke, and they were considered to have withdrawn from the court.

Yu Qian walked last. He stayed in Jiuzhou outside the mountains for nearly two months. The purpose was to examine whether the field policy implemented by His Majesty could be implemented. The answer was yes.

Jiuzhou outside the mountains was destroyed by the Oara people, and Fujian was in a mess due to the noise of the rebel army, which caused the landlords to flee their households. It was best to start over from scratch.

The capital is the hardest bone to crack, but it is the lifeblood of the capital. Jin Lian took the lead, but Jin Lian still lacked prestige, so Yu Qian planned to do it himself.

Zhu Qiyu didn't stay in the palace either, so he slowly walked out and walked with Yu Qian.

"Yu Shaobao has worked hard." Zhu Qiyu stopped Yu Qian's salute with a smile and asked: "How do you feel about this phlegm disease?"

"That's great. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Yu Qian hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty's mask is indeed useful. The frontier soldiers in Kyushu outside the mountain praised it. In the past years, there were many frostbites, and the wind and sand were strong, and there was no cover. This mask is really useful.

"

Although the mask is small, it is really a good thing, especially for the frontier soldiers, the biggest problem is frostbite and the cold air in winter hurts the lungs, it greatly alleviates it.

"Well, that's good." Zhu Qiyu hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Has Yu Shaobao gone to Jiming Mountain to pay homage?"

Yu Qian knew what His Majesty was talking about as soon as he heard it.

The Battle of Jiming Mountain was fought by Zhu Yong, Duke of Cheng, and Xue Shou, Bo of Yongshun. The inside story of the defeat in the battle was unknown and there was much discussion in the court. Therefore, a letter was submitted requesting Your Majesty to imitate the past events of Duke Qi and abolish Cheng Guo.

There are also many people of male descent.

Duke Qiu Fu of Qi State was the first to conquer Jingnan, but because he underestimated the enemy and led a thousand men out of the grassland, the whole army was finally wiped out. Zhu Di was furious and immediately deprived him of his title.

There are many opinions about the defeat in the Battle of Jiming Mountain.

Some say that the surrendered Tatar cavalry suddenly turned their guns and caught Zhu Yong off guard;

Some people say that Zhu Yong and Xue Shou underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, and fell into the trap of the Wala people;

Some people say that Liu Sengqing, the supervisor of the army, was surrounded, but Zhu Yong led a large army to help and was defeated.

There were too many explanations, and Zhu Qiyu didn't know what was going on, so before leaving, he specifically told Yu Qian to see what was going on during the sacrifice.

"A mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, blood flowing like a river." Yu Qian said with a sigh.

The Tatar cavalry did not turn against each other, but followed Zhu Yong and the Oara people and died in the foothills of Jiming Mountain.

He continued: "Dead men can't lie. Your Majesty, it was indeed Liu Monk, the supervisor, who rushed in and was besieged. Zhu Yong rushed to help and fell into a trap."

In the Jiming Mountain Col, the battalion led by Liu Seng died in the deepest part, while the battalion led by Zhu Yong died at the mouth of the valley.

The supervisor is the eunuch Liu Seng.

Yu Qian hesitated to speak, but finally said: "Your Majesty, it is difficult to talk about this matter. The emperor intends to fight to the death and sent bait to lure the Oara people to fight near Xuanfu."

"But Wu Kezhong, the obedient marquis, and Wu Keqin, the commander-in-chief, were raided and died in the battle of Yao'erling."

"The losses have already been huge. It's very... strange to send Cheng Guo Gong Zhu Yong to lead 40,000 people."

Yu Qian's meaning was very clear, and he put it very euphemistically. It was not a technical and tactical problem, but a problem in strategic command.

Zhu Qizhen's conductor was like a gourd saving his grandfather, sending them off one by one.

This kind of command is very outrageous.

After all, in later generations, even primary school students would say: leave the group and wait for others to gather together.

Zhu Jingmen's battle formation command paid great attention to details. Not only was he poor at micro-management, but he also particularly liked micro-management, which caused many suspicions among the courtiers.

Today I said I would be stationed in Xuanfu, but I suddenly went to Wangjiadian. Today I said I would be stationed in Yuzhou, but I ended up going to Huailai.

Huailai fled to see the wind and was stationed in Tumubao again.

Zhu Jingmen's entire command was full of micro-management. Upon closer inspection, it was all a failure.

"What a pity." Zhu Qiyu said with emotion that he was not worthy of being a soldier of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qiyu's eyes were fierce and he continued: "I will take revenge one day."
