Lin Yu took a sip of tea, stood up, looked at Wang Yangming and said, "Wang Yangming, are you loyal to me?"
"I am willing to die for His Majesty." A scholar died for his confidant. He had not felt this way for a long time. He saw the hope of rising in His Majesty the Emperor.
"Are you loyal to me or to Ming Dynasty?" Lin Yu's expression was serious, showing no emotion or anger.
Wang Yangming was silent for a moment, but finally expressed his true feelings, "I am loyal to the Ming Dynasty."
I thought I would be greeted by Lin Yu's thunderous wrath, but I didn't expect that Lin Yu just smiled and didn't care very much.
"I don't care whether you are loyal to me or to the Ming Dynasty. You have to remember that as long as I live, I am the Ming Dynasty. Do you understand?" Lin Yu looked down at Wang Mingyang. He must make his ministers feel awe. Although he did not
I have been an emperor, but I have never eaten pork and have never seen a pig run away.
"I am here to see Your Majesty, and I will swear allegiance to the Ming Dynasty and Your Majesty to the death." Wang Mingyang bowed in admiration. Lin Yu had actually made it very clear. If he hadn't said anything else, this opportunity would have been really lost.
Lin Yu nodded with satisfaction. He had conquered this saint. Orthodoxy was good. As long as he was not too stupid, it would be easy to win the allegiance of some people with lofty ideals.
"Get up, I brought you here to tell you something."
"I sincerely follow His Majesty's teachings."
Lin Yu looked at Wang Mingyang in front of him. Although he is thin and thin, his body contains huge energy. So, can you do well?
"The Ming Dynasty has many shortcomings, but there is a very urgent thing that you need to do right now."
"I'm willing to do your Majesty a favor." After saying this, Wang Mingyang bowed down again.
"A very important thing. After the Tumubao Incident, the Wuxun Group of the Ming Dynasty was basically destroyed. From now on, you are no longer a civil servant. I need you to secretly train an army. Qian Zhen can help you solve it.
But you have to solve the rest by yourself." He always feels flustered without soldiers. If he wants to do something, he can't do it without some elite soldiers and strong generals, so Lin Yu doesn't want to do anything else, so he first comes with an army that can fight.
First.
"Train the army?" Wang Mingyang was a little confused. He thought that Lin Yu might want to discuss the country's governance with him, but he never thought that Lin Yu would directly let him become a military general.
"Yes, I want to have an army under my own control, which can guarantee my safety in case of any changes. Do you understand?" Lin Yu looked at Wang Mingyang. This is a very important move. If there are no soldiers in hand, some follow-up steps will be taken.
It's easy to bounce back when things are done.
A certain great man once said that political power comes from the barrel of a gun. It has its own army and can do whatever it wants.
"I understand." Wang Mingyang agreed. Although he was a civil servant, he could still lead troops to fight.
"No, you don't understand. I want more than just an army that can fight. I require every soldier in it to be at least qualified to serve as a centurion, and a centurion to be at least qualified to serve as a commander of thousands. You understand.
What?" If they can only fight, it is better to control the Guards first, why bother to retrain them.
Wang Mingyang was greatly shocked. Any soldier must be capable of serving as a centurion. What is your Majesty going to do? Your Majesty is so courageous. Do you want to start reorganizing the army first?
"Please also ask Your Majesty to make it clear how many such soldiers I need to train." Wang Mingyang was very straightforward. If he wanted to do something, then do it big. As long as His Majesty trusts him, he has nothing to fear.
"At least eight thousand, there is no upper limit. If you need money, just tell me and you can handle the rest yourself." The details of the money from the treasury have not been checked, but he does not plan to pay from the treasury. Although Zhengde has almost ruined his family's fortune,
There is still some money in the inner treasury. As long as there is such an army, the next step is to make money.
"I accept the order, but Your Majesty, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to take on a big responsibility just by relying on you." Wang Mingyang smiled bitterly, secretly training the army, training an army of eight thousand people, and he also needs to be able to be civilized and martial, and he can't train even if he is exhausted.
.
However, he was indeed impressed by Lin Yu's courage. These 8,000 people could lead an army of 800,000. If there were 800,000 troops, why would the Ming Dynasty not rise?
"I will give you a secret order. Anyone who needs to be transferred will be transferred directly. As long as you can trust it, I will give you three years. If I can't see such an army in three years, then you can come and see me." Lin Yu said in a robe.
Hui, who else would a real man be than me?
"Accepting the order, I will issue a military order. If your Majesty's request cannot be met, I will raise my head to see you." Wang Mingyang also felt heroic. Back then, he had no soldiers, but he could still destroy King Ning's 100,000 troops. Now, with His Majesty's
Support, let alone 8,000 people, just 80,000 people... Then let him die.
Lin Yu wants more than just being able to fight. The soldiers must be at least centurions. Three years is still a bit tight. How much time does it take to just read and write? And now, there is nothing except a secret order.
It does give me a bit of a headache.
"Well, please step down. You don't have to worry about anything in the past three years. If you need money, just ask me. But I won't give you anything except money. Can you?" Lin Yu looked at Wang Mingyang. It wasn't that he didn't want to.
Come on, he really can't take out anything except the little money from the inner treasury. Once he takes it out, everyone will know. If there is any secret at that time, it will arouse the vigilance of the foxes.
"No, but Your Majesty, I have one more request." Wang Mingyang agreed.
"Say, as long as I can do it." In fact, it is not a waste at all to let Wang Mingyang lead the troops, and the Ming Dynasty really needs a few people who can fight. The military attache group has been completely destroyed, and I have met many civil servants these days.
Military generals and civil servants can talk a lot, but most military generals just don't talk.
"These troops led by me may not be fixed in certain places, but may move around outside." This must be said. If I don't make it clear, if the army is moving around, is this the rhythm of rebellion?
"Okay, go ahead. I hope you can surprise me in three years." Lin Yu waved his hand. This was a heavy responsibility. He was not sure whether Wang Mingyang could do it, because it was not only a training issue, but also a concealment issue.
What to do with supplies for eight thousand people? These are all issues that need to be considered.
"Promise." Wang Mingyang accepted the order. He felt that he was back to his youth again, and he had the opportunity to express his revenge. He would definitely not betray His Majesty's trust.
Looking at Wang Mingyang's back, Lin Yu thought a lot. If Wang Mingyang failed, he would have other plans, but that would leave him passive.
But if he succeeds, the road ahead will be much easier. Not only will he have a general marshal, he will also have an army that is good at fighting, or in other words, grassroots non-commissioned officers who can control the world's troops at any time.
"Your Majesty, Chief Assistant Yang Tinghe would like to see you."
