" The problem of insufficient food and pay!" Jin Shangyi said in a deep voice. The King of Yan has been commanding the army for many years. He should know that the army has spent a lot of money. The new army's strategy seems to be good, but it cannot last long. One had to know that there was not much meat in the North. How much meat was there around Beiping Prefecture? It was freezing cold, where could they get so many livestock?”
"Let's not talk about meat, just how much will the increased rations cost? Beiping Prefecture only had a few hundred thousand dan of grain in reserve, but it was not just the three guards that needed to be supplied. There were also the military forces of the Commanders and more than a hundred thousand civilians. Not long ago, Sheng Yong had transferred tens of thousands of soldiers from the guards outside the city into the city. With so many people, how much food would they need to eat?”
"In the past, the rations were just balanced. Now that we have tens of thousands of soldiers, some people will starve. Once the Imperial Court's supply was insufficient, the new army's strategy would be flawed. The new army strategy could only become a laughing stock!”
"When the time comes, the soldiers will complain and be unwilling to be loyal to a monarch who only makes empty promises. At that time, as long as the King of Yan raised his arm and shouted, the soldiers of the world would respond one after another, and the great event would be accomplished!”
Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhang Shimei and the others praised Jin Shangyi.
It had to be said that Jin Shangyi's words hit the nail on the head.
It was easy to implement the new army strategy, but it was not easy to persist. Once there was a problem, the soldiers would cause a ruckus. These soldiers were all professional soldiers with weapons. They might rebel one day!
If that was the case, things weren't too bad.
Zhu Di heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile,"Before Dao Yan left, he recommended you to come to the King Yan Residence. Today, I heard you say that you are indeed extraordinary. However, when do you think the new army strategy will reveal its flaws?”
"Within two years," Jin Shangyi said after calculating.”
Zhu Di frowned. Two years was a long time. He was afraid that he could not wait that long. However, if there was really an opportunity, there was no harm in waiting for another two years!
"Then how do we solve the current problem?"
Zhu Gaochi asked.
Jin Shangyi cupped his hands at Zhu Gaochi and said,"" Your Highness, what you're asking is the most urgent matter at the moment. We need the King of Yan's cooperation…"
At the Sanwei School Field.
Zhu Di was clad in battle armor and armor, appearing mighty. The 80,000 soldiers of the three guards lined up in formation. For a moment, no one dared to say anything.
Although there were many people who dared to speak ill of Zhu Di, no one dared to confront him directly when they were facing him!
Zhu Di stood on the high platform, drew the sword from his waist, and threw it out. He shouted,"Who wants to kill me, Zhu Di? This king will stand here today and let him kill me. Whoever has the guts, take a step forward!”
It was so majestic that no one dared to move!
"Many of you have followed me for ten, twenty, or even longer!" Zhu Di shouted angrily. Can't you see what kind of person this king is? A new army strategy made you lose your souls. How can such soldiers go into battle to kill the enemy?! How could he be loyal to his country? Hehe, some people say that I, the Iron Blood Butcher, will not say anything even if I slaughter you disappointing soldiers today!”
"The new army strategy is the Great Ming's national policy! What is a national policy? The national policy is that all the territories of my Ming Dynasty will implement this policy! Could it be that you're standing outside of Da Ming? Qiu Fu, tell me, where am I?”
"This is the Great Ming Dynasty's Beiping!"
"Did you hear that clearly? This was Ming Dynasty's Beiping! How could the new army plan be without you? There was no lack of them! What were they disappointed about? The reason why this king didn't allow the new recruits to enter the three guards was because this king knew that this national policy was flawed and might not work!”
"Just take the Family Division as an example. Can it be established just because it says so? After it was established, could it immediately help his parents solve their problems? How many people would be assigned to the Family Department? How could he control the families of tens of thousands of soldiers?”
"Besides, the money for medical treatment! If a soldier was given one tael of imperial coins a year, that would be two million taels. Last year, the Ming Dynasty's treasury only had a few million taels. Do you think it is feasible to take out half of it as imperial money?”
"Such a muddle-headed new army strategy is just a fleeting cloud that blinded your eyes! "This plan is not feasible and cannot last long. This king knows the problem, so I don't want you to join the new army. I'm afraid that you will fall from heaven to hell!”
All the soldiers looked in Zhu Di's direction and listened to his thunderous voice. They gradually understood that the original plan of not entering the Three Guards was for everyone's own good.
The new army strategy was like a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water. Although it was beautiful, it was only temporary and unrealistic. It might be implemented today and canceled the day after tomorrow.
The King of Yan was afraid that everyone would be disappointed, afraid that everyone would hate the court one day, so he did not allow the new army to enter the three guards.
Thinking about it carefully, the King of Yan was right. Since ancient times, when had there been such good conditions for soldiers to fight?
There was no such thing in the Han and Tang dynasties, let alone the Ming Dynasty.
From this point of view, the new army strategy was just the result of Jianwen Emperor's lack of experience and hasty administration. It was a method for Jianwen Emperor to gather people's hearts.
When Zhu Di reached the emotional part, he cried and shouted,"This king is thinking for you, sharing the burdens of the Imperial Court, exhausting all of my energy for Great Ming, do I get your blame and curses in return? " Fine, since you don't trust me, then from today onwards, the three guards of the King of Yan can decide their own way out. Those who want to join the new army can leave the military camp and seek refuge with him. I, Zhu Di, will not stop you!”
"We're not leaving! I swear my loyalty to the King of Yan!"
Zhang Shimei and Zhu Neng shouted.
"We're not leaving! I swear my loyalty to the King of Yan!"
Countless soldiers thundered and shouted in all directions.
Zhu Di pointed his sword at the sky and shouted,""The new army's plan is full of flaws. In less than two years, there will be chaos. Once there was a mistake, the two million soldiers of Ming would complain and blame the Imperial Court. We bear a heavy responsibility, shouldering the mission of protecting the Ming Dynasty and our mountains and rivers.”
"Soldiers, listen up! From today onwards, the three guards will strengthen their training and defense. If there is chaos in the Ming Dynasty, it will be our three guards of the King of Yan to quell the chaos and rectify the world! To help the country and protect the people! Fight!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
The three guards moved like thunder.
Zhu Di used his own methods to firmly hold the three guards in his hands. At the same time, he gave the three guards a strong sense of mission and justice. He made them believe that everything he did was for Ming and the people!
King Yan's estate.
Zhu Di and the three princes thanked Jin Shangyi with a big gift, and Jin Shangyi quickly knelt down.
Zhu Gaochi and the others knew that if it weren't for Jin Shangyi's strategy and wisdom, the three guards of the King of Yan might not have listened to the orders of the King of Yan. Now, no matter how he pushed out his new army plan, the three guards would not be shaken.
These people were still Zhu Di's most reliable force.
Zhu Di arranged for Jin Shangyi to work in the King Yan's residence and showed him the latest intelligence on Beiping. He frowned and said,""The problem of the lack of food and pay for the new army has probably been solved.”
Jin Shangyi looked at Zhu Di in surprise.
