Military reform is imperative!

All the generals saw the determination of Prince Zhu Gaoxu!

Of course, because of this, I didn’t dare to raise objections at this moment.

Although after the reform of the army, the lives of these senior generals are not as smooth as before, and they can no longer engage in corrupt practices such as empty pay.

But the prince Zhu Gaoxu had already given them benefits in disguise by increasing the generals' salaries and wages.

In addition, Prince Zhu Gaoxu also gave them quotas and opportunities to trade with the royal family across the ocean.

After all, the founders of the country were gradually declining, and they had recently fully cooperated with the imperial court to develop Liaodong and eradicate the Jurchen barbarian tribes entrenched in Liaodong, so a total of three princes occupied nine seats.

In addition, the Duke of Guizhou, Mu Sheng, and the British Duke, Zhang Fu, each had three quotas, and they all very wisely chose Duke Jingnan.

Zhu Gaoxu saw that a few generals still looked unhappy and understood what they were thinking.

To put it bluntly, if you want others to follow you, you have to give them benefits. Otherwise, why would they listen to you and follow you?

When he thought of this, Zhu Gaoxu immediately had an idea.

Well, you must have heard about the ocean trade.

As soon as these words came out, all the generals were very moved.

After all, this is doing business with His Majesty the Emperor, and there is an invincible navy escort from the Ming Dynasty. It can be said to be a good deal with a guaranteed profit and huge profits!

Of course, making money was secondary. All the generals and Jia were interested in doing business with the emperor.

As long as they always follow His Majesty the Emperor's footsteps, their respective families will not be at risk of being liquidated!

The prince means...

Xue Lu's expression changed and he asked subconsciously.

When the Crown Prince was discussing with Zhang Fu, Mu Sheng and others, Xue Lu happened to go to Lingbei to guard for a period of time because of the unrest in Lingbei and the barbarian tribes attacking him. As a result, he missed the royal train.

To be honest, Xue Lu felt a little aggrieved and dissatisfied.

He, Xue Lu, is now also the Duke of Yin and the Duke of Ming Dynasty, and his status is equivalent to that of Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng.

Why did the prince play with them instead of himself?

I am a confidant who has always supported Zhu Gaoxu in his fight for the throne!

The voyage fleet has not set off yet and is still making preparations.

Xue Lu is also the Duke of the country after all. I will give you face and give you five places!

You prepare the goods by yourself, and leave the ship to the navy. Then the royal family will only receive 30% of the proceeds, which will be counted as escort expenses.

Upon hearing this, the generals were instantly overjoyed and looked at Xue Lu with burning eyes.

Xue Lu was also overjoyed and stood up to thank Zhu Gaoxu again.

All the previous grievances and dissatisfactions in my heart disappeared in an instant!

His Royal Highness actually gave him five places in one breath!

As far as Xue Lu knows, there are only three places for Zhang Fu, Mu Sheng and other princes!

Obviously, Xue Lu is still a true confidant in the heart of His Highness the Crown Prince!

When he thought of this, Xue Lu suddenly felt happy.

But he was also very smart and made his attitude clear immediately.

Concerning the new military system, I believe that what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is absolutely correct and there is nothing wrong with it.

I will fully cooperate with the imperial court in implementing the new military system, and there will never be any accidents!

After hearing this, all the generals also nodded, but in fact they were full of curses in their hearts.

This Xue Lu is really lucky!

The prince gave Xue Lu five places in ocean trade in one breath!

Just because of these five places, Xue Lu will become the first person in Jingnan's honors and a real leader!

Even Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng, two famous generals in the world, are now no match for Xue Lu, who is deeply trusted by the Crown Prince!

All the generals finally understood that the Crown Prince intended to support Xue Lu and make him the face of the Ming Dynasty's military department, and then Xue Lu would preside over the implementation of the new military system!

But no matter what, facing this new military system, all the generals had no choice but to cooperate fully to implement this.

It would be interesting if the prince directly revoked their ocean trading rights because of the strong objections of some idiots among them.

These fools will immediately become the public enemies of all military officers and ministers, and will be rejected by all military officers and ministers!

Even without the prince taking action personally, the imperial party within the military officials, led by Xue Lu, Zhang Fu and others, could eradicate and defeat all the idiots who affected their interests.

As for the crime, there is almost no need to look for it. The Gong Gong princes above the court will not clean up their behinds regardless of their martial arts. Just punishing corruption can clean up those who oppose it.

With the existence of Xue Lu, an imperial party, they had no intention of opposing at all.

On the contrary, a group of generals are thinking about how to establish a good relationship with Xue Lu and win a quota for themselves in the ocean trade.

Zhu Gaoxu saw all this in his eyes and just smiled happily without pointing out anything.

Just as the generals guessed, he wanted to support Xue Lu to become the leader of the military.

Mu Sheng is in charge of Yunnan and Zhang Fu is in charge of Jiaozhi. Both of them are beyond their reach, so Xue Lu is undoubtedly the best candidate to preside over the implementation of the new military system.

The reason is very simple. Xue Lu climbed up from the bottom step by step. He can be said to be a representative benchmark for the soldiers at the bottom, and his own talents can be seen.

Xue Luneng, from an ordinary soldier, fought bloody battles on the battlefield, and was promoted step by step to the present Duke of the Ming Dynasty by virtue of his military achievements. Naturally, he also understands the hardships of the soldiers at the bottom, and will cherish this hard-won opportunity even more, and fully promote the new army. system.

There is another most critical reason, that is, Xue Lu is loyal to himself and the royal family.

No matter whether he initially supported him in his fight for the throne, Xue Lu always stood behind him.

Now that Zhu Gaoxu has become the crown prince, he naturally wants to reciprocate the favor and give Xue Lu feedback so that he can keep up with his pace.

The reform of the military system is related to the future development of the Ming Dynasty. Rather than leaving it to others to take charge, it is better to leave it to our own people, UU Reading www. uuknsuu.net is even more reassuring.

Okay, you all go down and get ready!

When His Majesty the Emperor nods his consent, the new military system will be announced to the world!

Xue Lu stays, the others can leave first, go back immediately and prepare, don't delay the opportunity!

When the generals heard this, they glanced at Xue Lu with envy, and then resigned honestly.

After they all left, Xue Lu suddenly took the initiative to speak.

Your Highness, there is another hidden danger in this new military system.

A group army is established in each major war zone. The position of chief military officer must not be hereditary. It should be the best in rotation, otherwise big trouble will occur sooner or later!

Zhu Gaoxu nodded happily after hearing his reminder.

Don't worry, the Commander-in-Chief will change positions in each war zone every three years and will not give them a chance.

Furthermore, grain and grass supplies, ordnance and equipment, etc. are always in the hands of the Central Logistics Department. Even if someone has undue ambitions and dares to separate one side and establish himself as king, the imperial court only needs to cut off its grain and grass supply, and the soldiers of the three armies will mutiny on their own. There is no need for the court to take action!

Otherwise, why do you think I would give such a high salary to the soldiers of the three armies? One is to improve their living conditions so that they can devote themselves to training and fighting, and the other is that except for the royal family, no one else has such a high salary. This strength can support an elite fighting force!

In addition, the staff will also train instructors and send them to the group armies in all theaters. The instructor's main responsibility is to do ideological work, promote the idea of ​​patriotism and loyalty, assist the generals in training and fighting, and make every soldier loyal to the Ming Dynasty. The court!

Xue Lu nodded repeatedly after hearing this, but he was too worried.

The burden on your shoulders will be heavier from now on!

I am going to let you preside over the reform of the military system and become the number one person in the military!
