Chapter 1000 Old Deng's feet left the ground, and his intelligence regained its high ground.
"It's not because they can't do it, but because no one is there to guide them."
This short sentence was like a bright flash of lightning in the dark night, directly illuminating the eyes of Emperor Zhu, Li Shanchang, Xu Da, and others.
Correct.
It's not that the garrison system couldn't do this, but rather that no one had ever thought of it in that direction.
Whether it was Liu Bowen who proposed the garrison system, or Emperor Zhu, Xu Da, and Chang Yuchun who implemented it, their thinking remained at the level of "strict military discipline and prohibition of harassment and harm to the people." They believed that as long as the army did not harm the people, the people would not be afraid of the army, and they never thought about "the army and the people being one family."
Or rather, Emperor Zhu, along with Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, Xu Da, and Chang Yuchun, only had a vague concept of "the army and the people as one family." They wanted to improve the army and gain more support from the people, but they didn't know how to do it.
When the hazy fog before my eyes was cleaved away, everything suddenly became clear.
Military households were also a type of household registration in the Ming Dynasty.
Regardless of whether the garrison system and the military household system continued to be implemented, the army of the Ming Dynasty still came from the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Let the Ming army help and protect the people.
To let the people of the Ming Dynasty understand the Ming Dynasty's army and support the Ming Dynasty's army.
These are the true essence of Ningyang Thousand-Household Garrison.
Xu Da stroked his beard and smiled, then bowed to Emperor Zhu and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to have officers from the Imperial Guards take turns to study at the Ningyang Thousand-Household Garrison and the Dengzhou Military Academy."
Emperor Zhu hummed in agreement, then curled his lip in disgust.
Officers were sent in rotation to Ningyang Thousand Household Garrison and Dengzhou Military Academy for further training.
How many people can be sent out each time?
By the time all the officers have gone through it, our old Zhu will probably be waiting for his wife to turn into a stone statue.
Emperor Zhu looked directly at Yang Shaofeng and said, "My dear son-in-law..."
Yang Shaofeng's heart tightened, and Emperor Zhu continued, "Well, according to the existing military system of our Great Ming, the Ningyang Thousand-Household Office has a total of 1,112 people, divided into ten Hundred-Household Offices, twenty General Banners, and one hundred Small Banners."
"We won't ask you for much. Just select two soldiers from each squad and transfer them to the Imperial Guard as squad leaders."
"The two missing soldiers will be drawn from the Imperial Guards."
"If you draw two, we'll give you three more."
"Also, at the Dengzhou Military Academy, you should set up a new class for commanders, with the commanders of each guard and the thousand-household commanders who are about to be promoted to commanders taking turns to study at the academy."
"..."
Xu Da and Chang Yuchun looked at Emperor Zhu with deep admiration.
See? Even those in positions of power are meticulously calculating.
It neither affected the Ningyang Thousand-Household Garrison nor the original Imperial Guards, and almost imperceptibly transformed the Imperial Guards into more Ningyang Thousand-Household Garrisons.
The key point is that they take two and give three as compensation. This is really clever. They not only take advantage of Yang the Madman, but also make Yang the Madman owe them a favor.
Yang Shaofeng couldn't help but roll his eyes, and bowed to Emperor Zhu, saying, "Your Excellency, the matter of drawing two to make up three is easy to discuss, but the matter of the Dengzhou Military Academy is not up to me. It requires the approval of His Highness the Crown Prince, the principal of the Military Academy."
Emperor Zhu smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright, let's settle on the matter of drawing soldiers from Ningyang Thousand-Household Garrison for now, and we'll discuss the Military Academy matter later."
"Tell me first how to settle the veterans who have left the military, and how to replenish the ranks."
"And then there's the matter of military pay and provisions."
So, after all that going around in circles, I still haven't confused Old Deng?
Or perhaps it should be put another way: I just said so much, but instead of confusing Old Deng, he actually took advantage of me?
Is this right?
This is not right.
Could it be that because Old Deng was sitting in a chair with his feet off the ground, his intelligence has regained its superiority?
……
While Yang Shaofeng, Emperor Zhu, and others were discussing the whereabouts of the retired veterans, King Wang Jeon of Goryeo was also listening to Park Sung-sung's report in the meeting hall.
"I have inquired and found that there are three things that should not be provoked in the capital."
"First, we must not provoke Princess Funing and Princess Fuyang's husband, namely Yang Shaofeng, who is also the Duke of Yingguo, the Imperial Son-in-Law, the Prefect of Dengzhou, the Magistrate of Ningyang, and the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies."
"According to gossips in the capital, Yang the Imperial Son-in-Law has two nicknames in the Ming Dynasty's officialdom: one is 'Crazy Yang,' and the other is 'Ghost-Frightener.'"
Even Li Shanchang, the founding prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, the Duke of Han, and the current chief minister, was unwilling to provoke Yang the Imperial Son-in-Law.
"Secondly, we must not provoke Master Mao, who is one of the two young masters of the Duke of E's mansion."
"It is said that this Master Mao was usually extremely unruly. At a young age, he dared to take Prince Consort Yang to stroll along the Qinhuai River. Moreover, Master Mao was born with superhuman strength. Apart from being afraid of his sister, even the Duke of E, who was known as the Ten Thousand Prince, could not control him. He was a notorious playboy in the capital."
At this point, Park Sung-sung's expression turned somewhat strange again, and he said, "The last one we can't mess with is those two big yellow dogs."
As Park Sung-sung finished speaking, Wang Zhuan spat out the tea he had just drunk.
"The big yellow dog?"
Wang Zhuan looked at Park Sung-sung with a completely bewildered expression and asked, "What's so bad about that big yellow dog that you can't mess with?"
This is absolutely ridiculous.
It's a big yellow dog.
Even the most ferocious big yellow dog can only be dealt with in a few blows.
The people of the capital city of the Ming Dynasty didn't even dare to mess with the two big yellow dogs.
Is it because the people of the Ming Dynasty are too cowardly?
If that's the case, then the Liaodong region...
Wang Zhuan's mind raced as he considered whether he should take the opportunity to set his sights on Liaodong, the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
Park Sung-sung said with a strange expression, "According to the people of the capital of the Ming Dynasty, those two big yellow dogs are nothing special, but they wear the insignia of the Prince Consort's Mansion around their necks and like to wander between the Prince Consort's Mansion and the Imperial City every day."
"Some people also say that these two big yellow dogs were personally selected by the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty and given to Yang, the Imperial Son-in-Law, and were fed by the Emperor and Empress in the palace for a period of time."
"It is said that these two big yellow dogs can run rampant in the palace, and no one dares to stop them."
"..."
Wang Zhuan wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.
No.
Can't the capital of the Ming Dynasty ever be a little more normal?
Why does everything feel so eerie?
The Crown Prince personally selected the dogs, and the Emperor and Empress personally cared for Yang Dianfeng.
These two big yellow dogs, unfortunately, like to wander around.
Is it that I'm deaf, or is the capital of the Ming Dynasty just too insane?
Wang Zhuan shook his head, clearing these chaotic thoughts from his mind, and said, "I will not provoke Yang the Madman, much less that Master Mao."
"As for these two big yellow dogs, they have nothing to do with me."
"What I want to know now is when will the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty give me an answer?"
