Tie Xuan replied solemnly," Your Majesty, reducing 100,000 soldiers can save a large amount of resources and military pay. It is beneficial to the country. Although 100,000 people seem to be a large number, it will not affect the strength of the capital camp. Most of them are to remove the old, weak, and empty positions.”
"You can be considered to understand my plans. What about the inadequacies?”
Zhu Yunwen asked.
Tie Xuan said bluntly," The biggest loss of 100,000 troops is the country's nobility. Once they are dissatisfied, I'm afraid there will be trouble. This is one of them." The current vassal king is outside and has a large army stationed at the frontier fortress. Moreover, he is a good fighter. Your Majesty is weakening the capital camp's troops now. If the vassal king becomes powerful and threatens the capital, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble…"
"Oh, do you think the vassal kings will rebel?”
Zhu Yunwen asked with interest.
Tie Xuan fell silent.
This question was very important and difficult to answer.
One must know that these vassal kings were Zhu Yunwen's family. If he said that they would rebel, he had no evidence. How could he convince His Majesty with empty words?
However, Tie Xuan didn't think it was possible that they wouldn't rebel.
Especially the current leader of the vassal kings, Prince of Yan Zhu Di. Although his ambition was not obvious, it could be seen.
From the fact that Zhu Yunwen used the posthumous edict to stop Zhu Di from entering the capital to attend the funeral, it could be confirmed that Zhu Yunwen also believed that Zhu Di was a threat.
Tie Xuan sighed and replied seriously,""Your Majesty, among the Sai Kings, the ambitious ones are only the King of Yan, the King of Ning, the King of Dai, and so on. Among them, the King of Yan and the King of Ning are the most ambitious. Although I don't dare to say for sure, according to my speculation, if we don't cut off the vassal state, the King of Yan will make a move in less than two years.”
Zhu Yunwen took a deep breath and praised,
What a powerful Tie Xuan!
Although Tie Xuan was making decisions in the Governor's Office, his eyes were not only focused on the prison matters in his eyes, but also on the situation in the country.
Such a person had the vision of the overall situation!
Zhu Yunwen was secretly amazed. In history, Zhu Yunwen was such a bastard. He didn't know how to appoint virtuous officials, but only knew how to use a few nerds. He missed several opportunities to defeat Zhu Di.
If Tie Xuan, Sheng Yong, Ping An, Xu Huizu, and the others were put in important positions, Zhu Yunwen was certain that Zhu Di would never make it to the capital!
"The reduction of 100,000 soldiers is only the beginning. The strategy of elite soldiers is not only about the physical fitness of the soldiers, but also the beliefs of the soldiers, in terms of military equipment, logistics, and other aspects. I promoted you to the Ministry of War in the hope that you can take on the heavy responsibility of training new recruits in the capital camp.”
Zhu Yunwen looked at Tie Xuan seriously.
During the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, the five military governors were set up to manage the army. However, in order to prevent the five military governors from having too much power and monopolizing the power of the generals, the five military governors had the power to command the army, but they did not have the power to dispatch it.
The right to dispatch would be given to the emperor.
The Bureau of Military Personnel had the power to appoint, dismiss, promote, and train the army, but it did not have the power to command the army.
In the beginning, the Five Armies Governor's Office had a lot of power. The Ministry of War was not even worthy of being a subordinate and was directly ignored. Later on, Zhu Yuanzhang made several changes, saying that "power is not exclusive to one division, things are not left to be covered up". Only then did he weaken the Five Armies Governor's Office and give the Ministry of War a certain amount of power.
Although the five military governors would definitely be involved in the training of new recruits, the Bureau of Military Personnel was still in charge.
Tie Xuan finally understood Zhu Yunwen's thoughts. He stood up, straightened his body and shouted,"I will not let down the heavens!"
Zhu Yunwen took a document from the table and handed it to Tie Xuan."This is Zhen's new recruit strategy. After you go back, study it carefully and give Zhen a complete and feasible training strategy. This matter can be discussed with the Ministry of War, the Duke of Wei, and the others.”
Tie Xuan bowed and left. He returned to the Ministry of War and placed the document on the table, disapproving.
What training strategy would His Majesty know?
To train the new recruits, they still needed to rely on the people of the Bureau of Military Personnel and the five military governors to work together and think of a way.
After all, it was the result of the Emperor's hard work. If he didn't take a look, it would be a waste of His Majesty's hard work. Tie Xuan didn't hold much hope. He opened the document and immediately stood up. The more he read, the more serious his expression became. In the end, he slammed the table and shouted,"Your Majesty, you're a god!"
Ru Liangyu frowned and glanced at Tie Xuan. Even if you are trying to please His Majesty, you shouldn't be in the hall of the Ministry of War, right?
Who knew that Tie Xuan would quickly run over with the document and hand it to Ru Liangyu.
Ru Liangyu looked at it again and again, then suddenly stood up and slammed the table, shouting,""Your Majesty, you're a god!" Strictly speaking, Zhu Yunwen knew nothing about recruit training, but as His Majesty, he did not need to be proficient in details. That was what the ministers needed to do. His Majesty only needed to take a strategic position and plan the overall situation.
Zhu Yunwen drafted a complete training plan based on the vision of later generations and the foundation of history.
The plan was divided into five parts: physical training, ideology building, battle formation arrangement, equipment update, and special forces construction.
Among them were the special forces training methods learned from television and movies, the military command methods of ancient battlefields, the training methods of ancient outstanding generals, and so on.
There was naturally no need to talk about physical fitness. In this Darming Dynasty that mainly used cold weapons, the physical fitness, quality, and combat strength of a soldier directly affected the outcome of the battlefield.
Strengthening physical training was inevitable.
They couldn't possibly use soldiers who panted heavily after a few steps and fell to the ground after ten steps to fight, right?
In terms of ideology, Zhu Yunwen didn't dare to mention anything about Communism. After thinking about it, the best result of instilling Marxist-Leninism was that he was defeated.
As an emperor, he had to respect the objective facts from the perspective of an emperor. This was called the materialistic view of history.
Without the belief of the Marxist-Leninism, we can promote the heroic spirit of " wrapping the body in a horse's leather ", the patriotic spirit of " serving the country faithfully ", and the national spirit of " sharing the worries of the king to ensure peace in the world ".
The reward of assisting in the promotion of official positions and benefiting their descendants was enough to make the soldiers willingly work for the court.
Zhu Yunwen didn't talk too much about the battle formation. After all, this was the specialty of generals. But here, Zhu Yunwen still put forward the idea of cooperation between different arms and advocated practicing new battle formations and tactics.
Zhu Yunwen paid special attention to the issue of equipment updates.
That's right, there were already guns and ammunition in the early Ming Dynasty, but the long guns were called fire guns and the short guns were called hand guns. However, the range of these things was limited, ranging from tens of meters to hundreds of meters.
Moreover, after firing a shot, it would need to be reloaded before it could fire a second shot. It was difficult to form a complete firepower network.
With a range of 100 meters, the cavalrymen who were charging at them would be able to kill them with their sabers before they could even fire two shots.
As for the artillery, although the Folang Machine had not yet been introduced to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty still had some artillery, such as the Divine Musket Cannon, the Great General Cannon, etc.
This thing was not bad. Its range was even longer. It could reach a few kilometers or even break through a few kilometers.
However, this thing was a pile of iron lumps, weighing a few hundred pounds at any time. At this time, Da Ming did not have trucks or trains to transport it, nor did he have asphalt roads. After the rain, the roads would be muddy. Who could move this thing?
Besides, war required speed, quick penetration, and quick mobility. If you brought a cannon with you, just by waiting for you, how many miles could you run in a day?
