Chapter 44 Yu Dayou pours cold water

The conversation between Zhu Yijun and Yu Dayou has always placed himself in a position of asking for advice, so Yu Dayou started talking about it. He felt that this was a good opportunity for him to make suggestions to the emperor, so he talked endlessly.

From the selection of soldiers to training, from equipment to logistics, they are very enthusiastic.

Zhu Yijun admired Yu Dayou even more. He was really a talented person. He was free to pick these things up and talked endlessly. He talked until the sun set, and Zhang Jing came to invite Zhu Yijun for a meal.

After having supper with Yu Dayou, Zhu Yijun then expressed his intention to find Yu Dayou.

"General Yu, I want you to train the three camps!" Zhu Yijun looked at Yu Dayou and said with a smile: "Compared with my imperial guards, the three camps are the top priority. Chengzu used the three camps to sweep the north, and I want to shape the glory of the three camps."

After hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Yu Dayou's face turned solemn and did not speak for a long time.

Zhu Yijun looked at Yu Dayou's solemn expression and said, "General Yu, you can say anything but it's okay."

"Your Majesty, the three camps at the time of Chengzu were all experienced in battle formations. The earliest three camps had experienced the Jingnan Campaign with Chengzu. In terms of soldiers, they were people who experienced in battle formations for a long time."

"Later, as Chengzu swept the north, he experienced countless battle formations, so they were elite soldiers of the world."

"Your Majesty wants to start from the current style of the ancestors. I understand that it is very difficult for the soldiers of the three major battalions to train elite troops."

Yu Dayou didn't even look at Zhu Yijun's expression and started speaking according to his own ideas.

"Your Majesty should also know the incident of fighting against the Japanese in the southeast. At that time, the southeast was in ruins. I chose many people who had hatred with the Japanese pirates as soldiers. Because these people had blood feuds with the Japanese pirates, they would fight for the first place in every battle."

"As such soldiers are strictly trained and well-equipped, they can become a strong army."

"I think it's right to train the three camps, but it's not feasible to train the three camps into a strong army."

Although he knew that the emperor might be unhappy after talking about these things, Yu Dayou dared not not say that the Tumu Fort Incident was an eternal pain in Daming's heart! Yu Dayou was worried that the emperor thought that he had practiced the three camps and then learned about Chengzu Beizhang.

Even if you don’t fight north, you can’t stand it even if you let the three camps go to war. This evil fire must be suppressed.

Zhu Yijun listened to Yu Dayou's words with a normal expression and said with a smile: "I also think what General Yu said makes sense!"

In fact, although Zhu Yijun wanted to train soldiers, this thing was not something that happened overnight. How long did Qi Jiguang train the Qi family army? It was a dream to quickly form an army.

What Zhu Yijun wanted to do was to control the military power of the three major camps and clean up the three major camps at the same time.

Exit the old and the weak, clear up empty salary and vacancies, and impose training at the same time. Not to mention the elite soldiers, they are at least capable of fighting. When they can’t really need them, they can’t do anything, right?

"I want General Yu to be responsible for the training of the three camps. What do General Yu think?"

Yu Dayou was relieved. Hearing Zhu Yijun's words, hesitated: "The Warriors Camp and the Four Guards Camp have just begun to train. I am temporarily weak. If the emperor wants to train the three camps, I have a suitable candidate."

Looking at Yu Dayou, Zhu Yijun was silent for a while and asked, "Who do you want to recommend?"

"I want to recommend Liu Xian, the general of Langshan!" Yu Dayou said without thinking: "Liu Xian and I fought against the Japanese in the southeast. We are familiar with military affairs and have experienced many battle formations. It is perfect for him to train the troops in the Beijing camp."

In fact, Yu Dayou also wanted to help his old brother. Liu Xian is not young anymore and is still working in Yunnan!

"Liu Xian?" Zhu Yijun didn't expect Yu Dayou to say such a name. Zhu Yijun had heard of this name, but was not very familiar with it. After pondering for a moment, Zhu Yijun said, "I'll consider it!"

Yu Dayou didn't say much, he felt that he had said enough.

First, the Beijing camp trained soldiers and poured a basin of cold water on the emperor. Now, it has been rejected on the issue of training the Beijing camp. It also recommended Liu Xian and Yu Dayou to bite the bullet. When he heard Zhu Yijun considering it, Yu Dayou felt that the result would be good.

After discussing this topic, Yu Dayou said goodbye and left. After all, the palace gate was almost locked, so he couldn't always stay in the palace!

Yu Dayou left, Zhu Yijun turned to Zhang Jing and ordered: "Let me find a copy of Liu Xian's information!" After that, Zhu Yijun turned around and prepared to go back and rest. After chatting with Yu Dayou for so long, he was tired.

When I was talking about it, I didn’t think anything was wrong. Now that I’ve finished talking, I’m really tired.

When he returned to the bedroom, Zhu Yijun waved to Liu Se. When Liu Se was sitting on the bed with a red face, Zhu Yijun turned over and lay on Liu Se's thighs, directing him to press his head. To be honest, Liu Se's craftsmanship is very good, and Zhu Yijun enjoys this feeling very much.

He squinted his eyes and rested, but Zhu Yijun's brain did not rest. He was thinking about Yu Dayou's words.

In fact, Yu Dayou's words still made Zhu Yijun quite discouraged, and he still placed hope for the three camps in his heart. However, Yu Dayou's words made Zhu Yijun a little irritated.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Yijun fell asleep in a daze. It was the second day when he woke up again.

I originally thought that the troublesome thing was Yu Dayou, but I didn’t expect that there would be troublesome things the next day. This time it was Wang Chonggu, the Minister of War. No surprise, Wang Chonggu submitted another resignation memorial, which was quite firm.

Zhu Yijun suddenly felt a little angry. In fact, he still valued Wang Chonggu very much.

Not to mention anything else, Wang Chonggu's policies implemented in Shanxi and Shaanxi are very effective. The facts prove that this is an official with a big view. He has unique insights into the military and also knows to think about military issues from a political perspective.

There are not many such talents. With him as the Minister of War, many things are easy to handle.

Originally, Zhu Yijun thought that after giving him some rewards and comforting him, Wang Chonggu should have extinguished his intention to resign, but Zhu Yijun did not expect that Wang Chonggu would resign, which was not like a show.

Zhu Yijun pondered for a moment and said to Zhang Jing: "King Xuan Chonggu entered the palace."

As he knocked on the memorial in his hand, Zhu Yijun sighed. Not to mention other things, Zhang Juzheng still has a good job in hiring people. At least he has no ability to use reform officials he appointed.

Whether it is Wang Chonggu, Zeng Shengwu, or Liang Menglong and Pan Jixun, they are all people with excellent abilities, and it is really reassuring to hand over the matter to them.
