Zhaowu two years on July 10.

this day.

Outside the city of Shenyang, there are hundreds of thousands of troops lined up, and the battle flags that cover the sky and the sun are fluttering.

There was silence between the heavens and the earth, and a thick depression enveloped this world. The remnants of the Houjin army, both young and old, were already full of despair.

A few months of madness can only delay the coming of death, but it cannot change the final result.

And now, the main force of Daheng has arrived, how can they stop it? What to stop?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

I don't know when, the sudden sound of the war drums suddenly tore apart this dead silence, and the army formations that covered the sky and the sun were also moving with the sound of the war drums.

"kill!"

The shouts and shouts that go straight to the sky are loud and earth-shattering, surrounded on all sides, and they are also attacking from all sides!

The mighty Xian Deng army rushed towards Shenyang City from all directions. In the rumbling roar, countless cannonballs swept through the red sky, like meteors and rain, falling into Shenyang City wantonly.

The flames of the explosion were all over the place, the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and the madness in the city, under such a turbulent blow, could only shrink in despair at the head of the city, waiting for the death that would come at no time!

"kill!"

Some Xian Deng soldiers jumped directly to the top of the city along the ladder, and blasted with short guns. The spread projectile instantly knocked several Hou Jin soldiers to the ground, and a few women and teenagers with blades were also difficult. cover up surprise.

The soldiers did not hesitate at all, the blood-stained blade fell again, the old and weak women and children, how could they be the opponents of the warriors of a hundred battles, but within a few breaths, several old and weak women and children in front of them fell into a pool of blood.

Some soldiers from the post-Jin Dynasty rushed to plug the loopholes, but the soldiers who could follow the ladder to the top of the city continuously formed a formation very quickly, occupying the top of the city little by little, with the continuous support of follow-up support. The arrival of , but also at an extremely fast speed, cleaning up the remnants of Houjin who have already been overwhelmed.

Besieged from all sides, climbed to the city from all sides, this general attack, the last quarter of an hour, this dilapidated post-Golden capital city, seems to have been crumbling, on the verge of complete overturning!

"Before sunset, Shenyang should be taken down."

Xu Feng put down the telescopic mirror in his hand, then looked at Li Xiu, and said slowly.

"Take Shenyang, and the rest are the minor details..."

The emperor also put down the thousand-mile mirror in his hand, turned his head slowly, and looked at Xu Feng beside him.

"After this battle, come back to Beijing with me."

Hearing this, Xu Feng was stunned for a moment, and immediately said without hesitation: "Okay."

"Why don't you ask brother to let you go back to Beijing?"

Li Xiu laughed.

"Brother Xiu, if you let me go back to Beijing, I must listen to Brother Xiu!"

Xu Feng waved his hand indifferently: "If you want to do anything, Brother Xiu, I will do whatever you want me to do!"

"How do you think the general staff in this battle performed?"

Li Xiu asked suddenly.

Xu Feng pondered for a while before saying: "The overall planning is not bad, much stronger than those of the civil servants."

Li Xiu nodded. When the army set out on the expedition, it was not only the organizational ability of the army, but also the overall planning ability and the logistical organization support ability.

In the past, all of this was naturally coordinated by the Ming Dynasty, but as Li Xiu took charge of the army, it gradually changed to Li Xiu coordinating military affairs and formulating strategies and tactics, while the court, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households, completed the It has completely evolved into a logistics overall structure.

With the death of Chongzhen, out of extreme distrust of the imperial court, Li Xiu also held the logistics in his hands.

The appearance of the General Staff was not only because the decision of the generals and commanders in the past made him feel uneasy, but also because he always thought that special people would do special tasks.

The literati studied hard from the cold window, and then inscribed on the gold list. Among the hundreds of gold list inscriptions, I am afraid that less than a handful of them know about military affairs!

He doesn't want the situation where laymen lead the insiders.

The court, the Ministry of War, it is enough to perform the functions and powers of the Ministry of War well in non-wartime.

When it comes to wartime, the war should be completely dominated by warriors.

The general staff formulate strategic plans, formulate logistics support plans, and coordinate the overall situation in the center!

The Governor's Office of the Five Armies dispatched soldiers and generals to lead the army and conquer one side.

The Chaotang, on the other hand, holds the money and the power to transfer troops, allowing the five military governors to transfer troops, and at the same time preparing food, grass and money, which are then transferred by the general staff to supply the various ministries.

The vision is naturally good, and it needs to be adjusted in time according to the different times and environments.

Moreover, the current general staff is only limited to the banned army of the Beijing army. In the future, he, the emperor, will not be able to devote himself to the army as he used to. He also needs someone to help him master the general staff and the staff system. , to promote it to the whole army, and to hold the rudder of the big ship of the General Staff.

Obviously, this person must have sufficient prestige and sufficient qualifications.

Obviously, Erwazi is the most suitable candidate.

Regardless of military rank or military merit, it is still the prestige of the title. Following him from the beginning, up to now, the number two person in the army is undoubtedly him!

"How about the Chief of Staff of the General Staff of the General Staff?"

Thoughts flashed by, Tianzi turned to look at Erwazi and asked casually.

"OK."

Erwazi was stunned for a moment, he thought that he would let his governor, Jingying Rongzheng, take charge of Jingying for Brother Xiu, but he did not expect that it would be the General Staff!

"Master the General Staff Department, implement the staff system into the entire army, and help my brother get this thing right first."

"Brother Xiu, don't worry! I promise to fix it for Brother Xiu!"

Erwazi, as usual, immediately patted her chest to assure.

"I have to clarify the domestic politics and people's livelihood first. The army will have to make a big move in the future."

Li Xiu watched the doomed war in front of him and spoke slowly.

The existence of the Weisuo system is very necessary. Nowadays, it is precisely because of the reform of the military that the Weisuo system has a new look. Even if the whole world is in rebellion, under such internal and external troubles, there are several provinces in the north of Daheng, Jiangnan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Several provinces of Zhili can still be firmly in the Daheng rule sequence.

The existence of the Weisuo system is necessary and necessary, but its inevitable disadvantages have been clearly proved in the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the guard system must not become the main military system of the country.

Although it is impossible for any system to last a hundred generations without any problems, as the Son of Heaven, he would never let a guard system, which is destined to be only brilliant for one generation, exist on a large scale in a country where he spent countless efforts.

The world is stable, and the guards must be abolished, but they cannot be completely abolished. For example, in frontier areas, places where the central government is weak, naturally need the existence of the guards system.

In other places, the Weisuo system, there is no need for such a large-scale existence.

Supplemented by the system of guards, the system of recruiting troops is the mainstay, the central government maintains a strong army as the main body, and the local heavy troops are stationed as a supplement.

If a foreign enemy knocks on the side, the town guards will deal with it first, and then the central government will mobilize a large army to deal with it.

If there are internal changes and the world is peaceful, local inspections and city defenses will be enough to deal with it. If it is insufficient, heavy forces will be enough to prevent the situation from spreading. The situation will spread, and there will be enough time for the central government to mobilize the army to deal with it.

Of course, these are just ideals.

Any system, at the beginning of its establishment, with a hero in power and a clear government and army, is naturally excellent and usable.

But no system can escape the fate of decay.

The most important issue is not the system itself, but whether it can keep pace with the times and be able to effectively monitor and maintain it.

Moreover, the most important thing is to abolish the guards and turn to recruiting troops. Money and food are the root of the problem.

Without sufficient taxes, money, and grain, the country cannot maintain a military system with recruitment as the mainstay.

A professional army that is completely out of production costs an astronomical amount of money!

And a full-time professional army that maintains the stability of a country, how much food it will cost you to know with your ass, it will not be a small amount.

However, these are not the things that Li Xiu is most worried about for a long time. What he is most worried about is Wu Xun, whose momentum is booming now, and is destined to continue to boom for many years to come!

Since the era of the Ming Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, it is natural and inevitable to be influenced by the Yuan Dynasty, just like the system of the Ming Dynasty's martial arts and the country's common break, which was influenced by the Yuan Dynasty.

And Daheng follows the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, it is inevitably influenced by the Ming Dynasty. It can't even be said to be influenced. It is completely taken over. Except for a little system added by himself, there is almost no change!

The other Li Xiu was fine, but it really didn't work. It was enough to change it slowly. There was always a solution to the problem.

However, the system of hereditary martial arts and common break with the country, after hundreds of years, has been thoroughly implemented in the hearts of the people, and it has become the highest honor for all warriors.

No matter how much he wanted to change it, he didn't have the slightest possibility!

If he wants to change what the people want and what the army wants, he will destroy the future of others and cut himself off from the army. It's shaking this country!

However, honors and honors are hereditary, and they share the same break with the country, and history has long proven their bad influence.

He retains the cabinet, and even retains or even indulges the cabinet's rights, just because he has no confidence in the future generations born with a golden spoon in his mouth.

The existence of the cabinet and its normal operation can be guaranteed with a high probability. Even if the emperor is incompetent, the country can function normally, and the cabinet can limit the imperial power. Relying on it, it will naturally be able to slowly regain power, suppress the cabinet, and hold the power.

But how to check and balance the inheritance of honor and honor?

In one day, the system was naturally effective, and he could make Xungui whatever he wanted.

But he is gone, and the descendants of the monarchs have relaxed a little. The so-called system checks and balances are useless.

After all, retiring with the country is the highest honor and status, and it is already at the top of the courtiers. The existence of hereditary makes there not too many problems in the continuation of rights. The dignified hereditary martial arts must also be in a high position. System checks and balances are as ridiculous as anyone in the court suing this official!

He abolished the hereditary titles of Duke, Marquis, and Uncle, plus son and male, and abolished the hereditary position of martial arts. He also established a martial arts institute to train generals. The military governor's mansion was changed to be directly under the court, and he was in the same position as the six divisions. Even, he wanted to summon the children of martial arts, and he was thrown into the martial arts academy for training since he was a child.

"Long live!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Daheng mighty!"

Just as Li Xiu was in heavy thoughts, the sudden cheers also immediately pulled the Emperor out of his heavy thoughts.

I saw the broken Shenyang city head, the Daheng dragon flag fluttering, even if the naked eye can clearly see countless Daheng soldiers, galloping at the city head!

The closed city gate is also slowly opening!

"Report!"

A fast horse came galloping here~lightnovelpub.net~ turned over and dismounted and immediately shouted loudly:

"Report to Your Majesty! The northwestern city wall of Shenyang has been attacked by our army!"

"Zhao Wu, immediately lead the army into the city, no matter what, you must control the three warehouses!"

Li Xiu spoke out almost subconsciously.

"According to the order!"

Zhao Wu's movements were also very fast. After taking the command, he got on his horse and galloped away.

"Xu Feng, you also go, preside over the order in the city, and must not kill the Han people by mistake!"

"The end will follow the order!"

Xu Feng also led the way...
