Chapter 70: Don't get drunk or return

Views:

"It is not a waste. Regardless of whether the officer will adopt the plan of the staff, he can at least understand the strength and situation of the enemy and the enemy. At least he will not make too stupid decisions." Zhu Youjian's vision, the staff People who do not have the courage and overall vision of the leader, but they must be careful and able to find out the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy and the enemy from a large amount of information. The general and the staff should make up for each other's shortcomings in character, so as to achieve a harmonious state.

None of the three of Li Chunye spoke, they all understood Zhu Youjian's intentions. They deeply admire Zhu Youjian's strategy. From a military perspective, the staff system established by Zhu Youjian can indeed prevent officers from making serious mistakes.

"In addition, the military academy will also set up investigating classes. It recruits all kinds of wizards from various places, such as mountain climbing, snooping, bird language, etc., to learn the languages of Mongolia, Jian slaves, and Xiyi, so that they can penetrate into the enemy country and use various identities as a cover. Either engaged in business, or engaged in handyman duties, or even served as an official in an enemy country. They tried every means to detect the enemy’s military, political, economic and other information, and then used carrier pigeons to quickly transmit it to Daming." Zhu Youjian from later generations knows intelligence well. power. Knowing the opponent's intelligence is like exposing the opponent naked, and when necessary, you can create chaos in the opponent's country and let the situation develop in a direction that is beneficial to Daming.

"Doesn't Daming have Jinyiwei?" Yan Mingtai still didn't understand the real use of the investigation team.

"Jin Yiwei is an official who supervises Daming, but he doesn't know what happened outside of Daming." Zhu Youjian's expectation is that Daming must have two sets of internal guards, one specifically for illegal acts of internal officials. For example, Jin Yiwei; another team is specifically aimed at places outside the border of Ming Dynasty, monitoring the dynamics of neighboring countries.

"Isn't that a thief of cocky dogs?" Zhao Yan was still a standard civil official, dismissing these extraordinary methods.

"But these thieves can save Monarch Mengchang, and can accomplish many things that the army cannot accomplish. For example, when Ming and Jiannu confronted each other in Liaodong, how many troops did Jiannu have and where they were distributed; who was the general and what was his ability? , Can it be used by Daming; Doyan Mongol surrendered to Jian slaves, can he instigate rebellion, and under what circumstances. For example, Annan, after the abandonment of Daming, there have been wars and chaos in the country. In fact, before they seceded from Daming and became self-reliant, it was already a mountain rain. If you want to be full of wind, if you know these messages tomorrow morning, unite the weak and attack the strong, then Annan will not become an independent country. Another example is Xiyi, we know how many countries there are in Xiyi, and there are between these countries. What are the contradictions and conflicts, which countries will fall to Daming in the future, and which countries will be enemies of Daming.” Zhu Youjian talked openly, showing the special use of the investigating team with specific examples in front of the three. He believes that as long as he is not an idiot, or is deliberately an enemy of himself, the role of the investigation team is still obvious.

As the senior officials of the Ministry of Defense, the three of them are most worried about the current slavery establishment. Zhu Youxiao, who usually only cares about woodware, is not interested in things outside the imperial palace, but is very concerned about the war in Liaodong. Although the three of them have not been to the front line of Liaodong, they have received Zhu Youxiao because of the control of the Ministry of War. The scolding.

For Zhu Youjian's thoughts, they first thought of Liaodong. Daming's military disadvantage in East Liaoning was not only because the slaves were all cavalry and had a congenital advantage over Daming's infantry, but it was also a very important reason for the unclear military movements of Daming.

When did Jianu come to fight the teeth on the land of Daming, when to organize the army to attack Daming's important town outside the pass, when did he have to withdraw his troops, Daming basically had a black eye, but Jianu knew the deployment of troops outside the Daming Pass.

Many Han people in eastern Liaoning became slaves to build slaves. They made contributions to building slaves by rebelling against the old, hoping to gain appreciation for building slaves, thereby improving their living conditions. This is particularly evident in Dorgon's inlaid white flag. Some Han people live in the city outside the Guan, and they are no different from the people of Daming, but they provide all possible military information for the establishment of slaves at critical moments.

As Jian slaves gained more and more military advantage in the military, more and more Han people provided information for the construction of slaves, and they had penetrated into the Guan. It is said that now there are people in the capital to collect all kinds of Da Ming’s message.

Zhu Youjian wants to set up an investigative team. The biggest use at present is to spy on the military situation of Jian slaves. As for Annan and Xiyi, it will be a long time later. If things are beneficial to Liaodong, the leaders of the Ministry of War will certainly not object. .

"Speaking of languages, the languages of Mongolia, Jiannu, and Annan are easy to learn, but Xiyi is thousands of miles away. How can I learn the language of Xiyi?" Li Chunye heard Zhu Youjian's words and believed that between Daming and Xiyi, sooner or later There was a battle, but Daming didn't even know where Xiyi was. How could he learn Xiyi's language

"Missionaries. There are many missionaries from Xiyi in Daming. As long as they are paid higher rewards, there will be good language teachers."

The earliest missionaries from Xiyi came to Daming was Marco Polo. After he returned to China, he described the land of the East as too beautiful and rich in "Marco Polo's Travels", which aroused European enthusiasm for the East.

First it was Portugal, and then missionaries from Spain, Holland, Italy, England, and France came to Daming one after another. But Daming himself has a culture of five thousand years, has his own Taoism and Buddhism, and is not interested in their various sects.

Except for Xu Guangqi, Wang Zheng and others who converted to Catholicism in order to learn their skills, they were basically in a state of poverty in Daming. If they can find a job first, accumulate the capital of survival, and then make long-term plans, I believe they will not refuse Zhu Youjian's kindness.

"His Royal Highness, the minister has a candidate who can enter the investigation team. His name is Zhou Wenqi, Jin Yiwei deputy Qianhu, who is good at finding the money and things hidden by others, and the money and things he hides are basically not found by others." Zhao Yan thought of his distant relative, who seemed to meet the requirements of the investigation team.

"Jin Yiwei?" Zhu Youjian frowned. He had no liking for and distrusted these people who would only abuse lynching and disrupt Chao Gang.

"His Royal Highness, although this person is Jinyiwei, he has always been at odds with his colleagues because of his straight personality and bad drilling skills. He was squeezed out by his colleagues and sent to Liaodong to work as a secret pile. Therefore, he learned the language of Jian slave and Mongolia. Last year, he learned the language of building slaves and Mongolia. The family repeatedly entrusted him, and the minister borrowed the relationship to transfer him back, saying that it was a deputy thousand households. In fact, he was an idle worker who only took money and didn't work." Zhao Yan didn't know why Zhu Youzhen was disgusted with Jin Yiwei, that was a royal one. Faithful dog.

"But he is Jin Yiwei. I am afraid it is not easy to get rid of his nationality?" Yan Mingtai's doubts are not unreasonable. Once Jin Yiwei of the Ming Dynasty is naturalized, unless he is killed in battle, he cannot be quit, otherwise he will be regarded as a betrayal of Jin Yiwei and will suffer for life. Chase.

"If your Royal Highness needs this person, the old minister will personally talk to the nine thousand years old. Measuring nine thousand years old will give the old man a little bit of face." Li Chunye also understands that it is not easy for Jin Yiwei to leave his nationality, but he can still retain his military status when he is transferred to the military academy. The return to citizenship is different, so the difficulty will be much less. As long as Wei Zhongxian agrees, who else cares about a marginal figure in Jinyiwei

"Then thank Master Shangshu." Zhu Youjian bowed a bow to Li Chunye, "However, I want to see this person first, Lord Shi Lang, don't tell him, how is it convenient?" If Zhou Wenqi is a suitable candidate, he He will take on the important task of establishing the Ming espionage system. If he cannot be loyal to the court, or is loyal to the court, he is not capable enough to undertake such an important task.

"His Royal Highness, the minister will make arrangements for this matter, and the minister will never leak any information to him." Zhao Yan bowed to Zhu Youjian and promised.

"That's good, Lord Lao Shilang." The investigation team has obtained their consent, and Zhu Youjian is not entangled in personnel. "In addition, a military medical team will be set up. Adults should know that once a soldier is injured, the dead often reach the target. Seventy-eight out of ten." Zhu Youjian paused to give Li Chunye and the others time to feel, "Actually, among the wounded soldiers, only a few died because of serious wounds, and most of the soldiers died because of wound infections. If the wound is not infected and the rescue is timely, only two or three out of ten people will die."

"Then how can the soldiers' wounds not be infected?" Li Chunye and the others have been in charge of the Ministry of War for a year or two. There is no denying the fact that there is no bacteria in Chinese medicine, and it cannot prevent the infection from happening at all.

"Use wine. There was a servant in my mansion who was injured and broken skin, occasionally stained with alcohol, the pain was greatly reduced, and there was no infection. Later, I did an experiment and wiped the wound with white wine. The possibility of infection is very small. If it is Distillation is used to purify white spirits. The alcohol content is high and the effect will be better.” Zhu Youjian could not explain the alcohol disinfection, but it’s okay. He has not encountered such things once or twice. He has learned it a long time ago. Fudge. But the purpose of cheating is not to cheat money and sex, but to reduce the casualties of soldiers and promote the development of Ming medicine. If the goal is noble, he has no guilt. "You adults can do experiments on cats and dogs to verify the disinfection effect of alcohol. In addition, Xiyi's surgical medicine is far more advanced than Ming, and you can also learn from Xiyi."

"Isn't Daming's medicine useless?" Yan Mingtai was very puzzled. Daming's medicine has been developed for five thousand years. Is it not as good as Xiyi

"Doctor Daming focuses on recuperation. The patient recovers completely, but it takes a long time to recover. This is very detrimental to the wounded who want to recover their combat effectiveness as soon as possible. Moreover, the doctor of Daming has nothing to do with the infection of the wound. "Zhu Youjian couldn't explain to them the difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine, so he had to avoid the serious and the slight. He hopes that in the future, when conditions are met, an independent western medical school will be established in Daming to benefit all citizens, not just for wounded soldiers.

"Yeah. Your Majesty, what else is there to order?" Li Chunye felt that the more he interacted with Zhu Youjian, the more ignorant he would appear. Where did the prince learn his knowledge? It seems that the secret book in the palace is more likely. Zhu Youxiao only learned woodwork from the secret book, while Zhu Youjian learned a lot and very mixed. From this point of view, Zhu Youjian's explanation of the completion of the military academy in February and March of the year is mostly true.

"Master Shangshu, it's already past noon. Let's eat first and talk in the afternoon!" Zhu Youjian felt that he was hungry. The conversation between these four people seemed to occupy 70% to 80% of the energy consumed. Also more than others.

"Your Majesty is not busy, first prepare meals and food. The veteran must first visit the military academy, and then talk to the military academy with his highness. If you don't see the construction of the military academy with your own eyes, the veteran can't eat. Haha." Li Chunye was outrageous. Older with hard bones, he took the lead in riding a horse. Zhu Youjian has no choice but to work with workaholics. It is normal for three meals to be irregular. He, Zhao Yan and Yan Mingtai are closely behind Li Chunye.

On the construction site of the military academy, the craftsmen were having lunch. Looking at the red brick wall that was close to the roof, and then at the much shorter bluestone wall next to him, even though Zhu Youjian had given a hint, he still couldn't believe his eyes: "His Royal Highness, how did this red brick wall be built? ?"

"These red bricks are the same size. As long as the craftsmen know how to use one of them, and the other bricks are used in the same way, they will gradually become proficient. Only now, the craftsmen's hands are not yet proficient, and the speed of building walls will increase in the future. It's like a factory's assembly line production." Zhu Youjian further promoted the benefits of assembly line production to Li Chunye. Last time, he had already promoted an assembly line production to Li Chunye regarding the issue of the Firearms Bureau.

"His Royal Highness, the old minister has been taught." Li Chunye no longer had to look at Zhu Youjian with weird eyes. At this moment, he was completely relieved, "Zhao Yan, Mingtai, let's go back to the Ministry of War and drank alcohol. The old man is also today Be frivolous for a while, not drunk or return."
