Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty's army has a special branch, which is the staff system, and staff officers are already equipped in the squad. *1*1* As a time-traveling military hobby, Zhu Qizhen took it for granted that the Ming army, which had gradually transformed into a mature hot weapon army, made new changes and formations.
Naturally, all of this was first attempted by Zhu Qizhen in the Emperor's personal army, which was later called the Imperial Guard. Although it did not completely copy the military establishment of later generations, it made a lot of imitations and improvements. .
The battalion is the most important basic tactical unit of the Ming Dynasty. Nowadays, when troops are sent to fight, the battalion is used as a dispatch unit. Some time ago, in the Liaodong region to suppress the alien rebellion, a total of five battalions were dispatched, and six thousand troops were finally defeated. foreign soldiers and captured nearly two thousand people.
And this is probably the largest war that has occurred within the territory of the Ming Empire in the past two years. There are only 2,500 people in the five battalions, which also include a baggage battalion and an artillery battalion.
However, the equipment and strength of the Ming Dynasty army, which has now completed the re-equipment and reorganization, are far inferior to the huge or even huge scale of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops in the past.
Although there are not many troops mobilized and used, these soldiers have been trained and reorganized over ten years to form a reasonable and qualified professional military system. Every one of these soldiers is definitely among the elite. Elite.
In addition, in order to improve the combat capabilities of soldiers, Zhu Qizhen listed the Ming Dynasty's Weapons Research Institute and the Shipbuilding Research Institute as key units. The investment of a large amount of funds enabled the amazing creativity of the Ming Dynasty's skilled craftsmen. and innovation ability, coupled with the guidance of Zhu Qizhen, a time traveler from the future, the crystallization of wisdom that surpasses previous generations and even surpasses this era by five or six hundred years.
??Making Ming Dynasty¡¯s ships, weapons and other aspects at the forefront of the world, well, it was already very cutting-edge, but now, it is even more cutting-edge, now. The Weapons Research Institute of the Ming Dynasty is already studying what His Majesty the Emperor calls artillery shells with cartridge cases.
?????????????? In fact, that is what the Ming Dynasty will call the Franco Machine Gun in the future, but. If such artillery shells are really used, the reloading time of the artillery will be weakened to an extremely short level. Compared with the old artillery, their firing range can even be twice or even three times that of the old artillery.
Such a rate of fire. The enemy will be completely submerged in the sea of ??fire by the indiscriminate bombing tactics of our Ming Dynasty's artillery troops.
Although it is still in trial production, Shi Heng is convinced that in the near future, Ming Dynasty's artillery will be used. It will become a nightmare for aliens all over the world. Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty's artillery and muskets have become a nightmare for all countries in the surrounding areas of the Ming Dynasty.
¡ª¡ª
Of course, these are all countries that dare to disrespect Ming Dynasty or have evil intentions. In the face of the powerful methods of the iron-fisted emperor of the Ming Empire, all those alien races with evil intentions have been buried in the dust of history.
Under the influence of Zhu Qizhen, the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were no longer just thinking about how to fight for power and gain as in the past. Just to compete for a little bit of petty profit above the court.
Although they are above the court. However, those blood-thirsty eyes were like a pack of hungry wolves, scanning the surrounding area of ??Ming Dynasty with eager eyes. In other words, under the influence of His Majesty Zhu Qizhen, the absolute utilitarian emperor, those who were close to Zhu Qizhen became red. The effect of getting closer to the ink is already apparent.
Although they will still be dissatisfied because Zhu Qizhen launches war abroad. Chi Chi Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai on the criticism, but. But Zhu Qizhen would always fight back sharply, and prove it with facts and interests again and again. The decision of his great emperor is so wise and powerful.
Since he was ten years old, Zhu Jianshen, who has attended and listened to every morning court with Zhu Qizhen, has benefited greatly. It is through this way of precepts and deeds that Zhu Qizhen made Zhu Jianshen understand that his father is the emperor of tomorrow. ambitions and ideas.
Let him understand that what the Ming Dynasty needs is a wise and powerful emperor, not a benevolent emperor who always gives in before his ministers and does nothing, allowing these ministers to jump up and down, and does nothing but fight for power and profit all day long.
Under the influence of Zhu Qizhen's ears and eyes, Zhu Jianshen, a young prince who is only thirteen or fourteen years old, is maturing and growing rapidly. Moreover, in the academy, or what is called the Ming Dynasty Capital University, Zhu Jianshen is A prince once studied here incognito for nearly five years.
And when he graduated with honors, Zhu Qizhen, the Ming Dynasty¡¯sThe emperor personally attended his son's graduation ceremony and announced that every year at the graduation ceremony of the Capital University Hall, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would attend and deliver a speech to these passionate and young students.
The Capital University was the original Imperial College of the Ming Dynasty, but after discussions between Zhu Qizhen and the ministers, it was finally decided to establish a comprehensive college with all disciplines.
It not only includes those subjects in the past, but also adds many subjects that readers of the Ming Dynasty have never heard of. For example, a separate military academy is set up, which is divided into several departments, including staff, navy, artillery, infantry and other subjects in detail. Outrageous. *1*1*
Although this college has only been established for less than six years, it has already supplied over 10,000 talents to the Ming Empire. Although some scholars and readers still expressed strong dissatisfaction and indignation about this, compared with His Majesty Zhu Qizhen, the Ming Emperor, the readers were not a heavyweight contest at all.
Even though some officials are still cheering for them, in the end, under Zhu Qizhen's iron fist and strong will, they can only give in, or just play with their own complaints.
Nowadays, the changes in the Ming Dynasty can be described as earth-shaking. In the history of China, or in other words, since there was a country, the first law specifically aimed at industry and commerce is already being revised, and the original Jinyiwei system of the Ming Dynasty has become another important Job Department: Independent Commission Against Corruption. Its role is of course specifically aimed at the problem of corruption among officials.
And Yu Shitai, from the past day, the institution that puts on the prestige of the aperture, um, is a bit exaggerated, but it is indeed that the imperial history of a department is really doing this. From such a function, it was transformed into a department that specializes in targeting illegal officials. In other words, it is an institution similar to the prosecutors of later generations, and those censors should be called prosecutors or ** prosecutors.
And at least Dali Temple. It completely became the country's judicial center, the highest court of the Ming Empire.
¡°And the original factory guard has become the National Security Bureau, which is responsible for the collection and summary of various domestic and foreign intelligence. Even military intelligence.
The Ministry of Criminal Justice has become the police system, specializing in detection, arrest, detention and other matters.
As for the original six monks, they have become ten monks. The original functions were divided separately. For example, the Ministry of Industry was split into the Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Punishment was split into the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Household Affairs was split into the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Civil Affairs. As for the Ministry of Rites, It was split into the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
In short, a series of changes have been launched vigorously in this decade.
And Shi Heng saw with his own eyes the impact of this series of changes in the capital. Although he really didn't understand why Zhu Qizhen had so many new ideas and thoughts, he did. Proven time and time again. Zhu Qizhen's vision is so lofty and his decision-making is so wise.
In a word, Shi Heng could only sigh. It seems that in the hundreds of years since the Ming Empire was founded, the only changes have been in these ten years. It's overwhelming, but. But it also allows people to see that Ming Dynasty is reborn, as if it is moving towards a new future.
The original emperor. All he could see was the Central Plains, and he was immersed in the dream that he was the only one in the world, or the dream of conquering the world with his kindness.
But Zhu Qizhen, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, seemed to be always awake. His gaze could even see the end of the ocean. The reason why the Ming Dynasty's ocean-going fleet was able to discover that outrageously vast continent was precisely because of Zhu Qizhen. Under Qi Zhen's insistence.
Likewise, the discovery and exploration of islands and continents brought countless wealth and land to the Ming Dynasty. Nowadays, many of the original vassal countries, or those countries that dared to have ambitions towards the Ming Dynasty, They were all trampled underfoot by the army of the Ming Empire.
Zhu Qizhen¡¯s clear words are still deeply remembered by Shi Heng. What is truth? Truth is the range covered by Ming¡¯s artillery. Within this range, everything I Ming says and does is the truth.
The naked declaration of hegemonism was not welcomed by those civil servants who were well-read poets, but it was very popular among the generals, soldiers, and even many ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty.
And Ming Dynasty has proven this sentence to be so true through practice time and time again.
And just three months ago, in the Northern Dynasty of Japan, a few thugs, or wandering samurai, ransacked a gold store owned by a Ming merchant and killed seven shopkeepers in the store, and two of them were They are the people of Ming Dynasty.
And when the factory guard discovered that these wandering warriors were subordinates of the general's family, he was jealous of the wealth in the gold shop, so he carried out a masked robbery.
?When Zhu Qizhen learned of the news, he immediately issued an order. Subsequently, all members of the Toyo Fleet and the Toyo Fleet Marine Regiment were dispatched to retaliate against the coastal cities in the entire northern part of the island that were nominally controlled by the Northern Emperor but actually controlled by the shogunate. attack.
In just three months, the coastal city-states in the northern part of the island were almost in ruins. The shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa, the shogunate who had been tough at first, and the heavyweights of the shogunate group Tayama Mochikuni and Hosokawa Katsumoto were all panicked.
Today, Shi Heng went to the Japanese island as Zhu Qizhen's special envoy to conduct final negotiations with the Muromachi shogunate, which had already caused pain to the Ming Dynasty.
Anousin, this inconspicuous port city, has become the focus of the entire Japanese island at this moment. Everyone is guessing what kind of conditions the Ming Dynasty will put forward, and whether the Muromachi shogunate is willing to become like that A puppet like the Emperor of the Southern Dynasties.
As the leaders of the shogunate, Tayama Mokuni and Hosokawa Katsumoto were sitting on the floor, watching the actresses wearing wide sleeves and dancing softly to the music, and the waka that seemed so beautiful and beautiful in the past, Now I hear it so cheesily.
"But Shi Heng looked at the exotic song and dance with some care. Although it was a bit unpleasant, Shi Heng was in a very good mood and didn't care about these details.
When the song ended and everyone dispersed, Shi Hengzheng came over, looked at the two powerful officials of the shogunate and said: "You two, the banquet is over. Now, the time before the final appointment is getting shorter and shorter. I don't know, you two. How are you thinking about it?"
"Angel of the Kingdom, are these conditions too harsh?" The old Tianshan Chi Guozhuan said after giving a deep and respectful salute to Shi Heng. There was only pleading and helplessness in the words.
The terrifying combat power of the Ming Empire's army and the outrageously powerful fleet have shattered the last hope of the Muromachi shogunate and the Northern Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty's army had not taken the initiative to stop in the Omi area. At this moment, maybe the Muromachi shogunate and even areas like Mino and Shinano will fall.
"Harsh?" Shi Heng couldn't help raising his eyebrows and asked: "When you Japanese killed our people in Ming Dynasty, did you consider the consequences? When our people asked you to arrest the murderer, what did you do?"
"Do you think that the Ming Dynasty is indifferent to the lives of its own people? Now, after the Ming Dynasty's troops came to the city, did you think of the word harsh? I tell you that this treaty was made by my Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Hands, word for word, can never be changed.¡±
"With such conditions, doesn't the Ming Dynasty fear that all the vassals in the world will fear it?" Hosokawa Katsumoto took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The Ming Dynasty has always shown its benevolence and righteousness to the world. But now, it is pressing harder and harder. In the future, many vassals in the world will be afraid of it. How should we behave as a country?"
Hearing these implicitly threatening words, Shi Heng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and laugh. The hearty laughter echoed in the hall, but these two important officials of the Japanese country refused to listen. But he could only act with a gloomy face.
"You should make one thing clear, that is, the Ming Dynasty of today is not the Ming Dynasty of the past." Shi Heng's eyes were like lightning as he glanced at the two important Japanese ministers. "I, the Ming Dynasty, show my benevolence and righteousness. First of all, the vassals must regard me, the Ming Dynasty, as their sect master, regard my people, the Ming Dynasty, as distinguished guests, and be willing to obey the will of my Ming Dynasty"
"And you, a small country, took advantage of killing my people of the Ming Dynasty, and then tried to cover it up. At that time, where did you put the master of the Ming Dynasty?!"
"Today, I have been ordered to send an envoy to your country. My Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty once said that if anyone disobeys, their country will be destroyed."
Hearing the last sentence, both Hosokawa Katsumoto and Nadayama Mochikuni couldn't help but trembled with fear on their faces. The temper of this great emperor is known to everyone at home and abroad, and they all know that his majesty has never changed his words, and he will definitely do what he wants to do.
This is simply a naked threat, but in today's Japanese country, there is no room for bargaining.
Yamada Mochikuni sat down on the floor with despair on his face, and Hosokawa Katsumoto was not much better. He bowed deeply to Shi Heng and said, "Please wait a moment, the angel of the kingdom. I will report to the Lord if you need to." Can¡¡"
Looking at the two dejected Japanese ministers, Shi Heng smiled and nodded: "Go and tell me, His Majesty the Ming Emperor, the exact words. You know, my Ming Dynasty has hundreds of thousands of troops and four huge fleets. I am worried that I have no place to make achievements."
In the end, the Muromachi shogunate and the Northern Dynasty could only sign this humiliating treaty, recognizing the ownership and control of the Southern Dynasty emperor over all land west of Omi.
And the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty was completely ignored by Hatakeyama Yoshijo, who had completely surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty joined forces, and after the emperor died of illness two years later, there was no longer any emperor.?But the governor sent by the Ming Dynasty was in charge of this area.
And this treaty, which later generations called the "Seventeen Articles of the Annan Code", turned into a pile of waste paper after twenty years. Feeling that the time was ripe, Ming found a new excuse to deal with the Muromachi shogunate and the Northern Emperor. The emperor of the Southern Dynasties was very wise and the whole country worshiped him and belonged to the Ming Dynasty.
Most of the people on the Japanese islands became the pioneers of the Ming Dynasty¡¯s adventure world. With their blood and sweat, they contributed a lot to the Ming Dynasty¡¯s hegemony.
¡ª¡ª
In the capital, in the huge Fengtian Hall in the Forbidden City, Zhu Qizhen looked listlessly at the many envoys from the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty who walked into the palace from outside the door. Even the heads of some vassal states also All present in person.
Then he worshiped Zhu Qizhen with great piety to express the admiration of the vassal countries of the Ming Dynasty for Zhu Qizhen, the supreme emperor of the Ming Empire.
After that, the share of the country was handed over to the officials of the Ministry of Rites. Then it was presented to Zhu Qizhen's desk, his hand gently caressing these countries. They were not so much countries as important business contracts.
??In other words, with these countries in hand, Ming Dynasty is equivalent to holding all the most important mineral resources in these vassal countries in its hands.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: ?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ¡¯ s Zhu Qizhen, who was as strong as an ox, stood proudly, looking around, and his voice was loud and loud like a Luhuang bell, echoing in the hall. "You all can have such a mind. I am very relieved. I think that our country, the Ming Dynasty, and the various vassals are all in the same boat. Since ancient times, the vassals have had many contacts with me, the Ming Dynasty. Now, for the sake of the vassals, I, the Ming Dynasty, are willing to use our Use your hands to help your country. Let you get rid of the era of drinking hair and blood, so that your citizens can use exquisite porcelain, drink the most delicious wine, and wear unparalleled silk"
"All of this is the reward you get for your willingness to surrender to me, Ming Dynasty. My Ming Dynasty's swords and guns will only be aimed at the enemy. They will not be directed at Ming Dynasty's friends"
Zhu Qizhen used his vivid body language. And the passionate tone aroused the emotions of the envoys and kings of the vassal countries. Only the civil and military ministers of the Ming Dynasty had very enthusiastic expressions, but in fact they were very numb in their hearts.
Every time, Zhu Qizhen, the great emperor of tomorrow, always speaks better than he sings, but in the end he delivers. Well After all, he is the wise and mighty emperor of our Ming Dynasty, so I won't say anything bad about him.
and. The changes and benefits he brought to the Ming Dynasty were all fingers and toes. There is no way to count them clearly.
In the end, the envoys and kings of these vassal countries left the Fengtian Palace with satisfaction. What they took away was only the promise of the Ming Emperor Zhu Qizhen. In the future, what they will have to pay is not only the products of their country, but even the people and land of the entire country.
Although those ministers were a little numb, they were still very pleased that Zhu Qizhen deceived Kaizi again. This meant that Ming Dynasty was able to obtain new goods dumping places and raw material collection places. In the near future, Ming Dynasty will be able to obtain a new immigration point.
"Okay, it's getting late today. The court is over. By the way, tomorrow is the day of rest. Everyone should have a good rest. However, if there is news from the north, remember to tell me as soon as possible." Zhu Qizhen handled it After finishing the work, he quickly patted his butt and left the court. Zhu Jianshen, who had been standing aside to listen to Zhu Qizhen's eloquent words, quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and caught up with his father's flying footsteps.
"You see everything clearly, do you hear everything clearly?" Zhu Qizhen asked with a smile on his face when he saw his tall and strong son.
"Well, my father and I have heard it clearly. You can say whatever you like, but in terms of actual interests, you must not let go." Zhu Jianshen, who looked honest and upright, said seriously.
"Well Confucians can be taught." Zhu Qizhen laughed. Over the years, Zhu Jianshen's growth has already reached the goal he expected, and even exceeded it. Under his own teaching, he will no longer He was the kind and weak emperor in history.
He will definitely be able to inherit his will and make Ming Dynasty completely superior to the world. Zhu Qizhen sighed happily. "Okay, in terms of political affairs, any means can be used. As long as it is beneficial to my Ming Dynasty, I must firmly grasp it. However, when it comes to family members, you are not allowed to have any ill intentions. Do you understand?"
"Father, please rest assured. I understand that if the family cannot maintain harmony, then it will be like those emperors in the past, and it will really become a lonely family." Zhu Jianshen said very forcefullyHe nodded and said.
"That's very good. Well, during this period of time, you can take a breather on government affairs and get closer to your newly married princess. Your father and I want to have fun with our grandson." Zhu Qi Zhen patted Zhu Jianshen on the shoulder and showed a weird smile.
"Ah this, my son" Although father and son have been together for more than twenty years, Zhu Jianshen sometimes still cannot accept his father's changes in thinking that are so inspiring to him.
"Anyway, just know it in your heart. Alas, I don't know how your third brother is doing now. Has that little guy reached Moscow now?" Zhu Qizhen continued to move forward, and the seaside villa was already close. In front of him, Zhu Qizhen saw his children playing outside the villa, his wife and concubines, and his mother sitting on a chair smiling and telling stories to her youngest child. Zhu Qizhen's heart was filled with boundless warmth.
I have completely forgotten the time and space that I have lived in for nearly thirty years. My past and my future are all living in this era, and all of this is a great era created by my own hands. My Big time.
¡ª¡ª
ps: Finally, um, it¡¯s finished. After finishing this part, it can be said to be the most difficult one I¡¯ve had to write since I started writing. It seems that writing about emperors is really difficult.
So, for the next book, I decided to return to the old routine. Well, what an old routine, I believe everyone should know it. Hehe, let me explain it a little bit.
New, still historical, the outline has been finalized, it will definitely be better than this one, believe me, that¡¯s right, um, I¡¯m working hard on writing it, and will try to upload it as soon as possible. Please look forward to it, students, hehe, it¡¯s incomparable Thanks to my classmates for their support and help along the way.
Without you, I would not be able to stand here, on this stage, and use my pen to build a dream world one by one. Thank you very much, see you in the future. (To be continued)
