After obtaining the consent of Emperor Wanli, Zhang Qingfeng quickly arranged the matter.
He needs to sow discord between the king of North Korea and the officials and generals, and at the same time secretly support one or several forces that challenge the Korean royal family.
Fortunately, Zhang Qingfeng has been cultivating such a talent. He is called a business intelligence collector. He nominally collects business intelligence from all over the world, but in fact he is a spy.
Through these spies, Zhang Qingfeng also knew all kinds of relationships in many places in Ming Dynasty.
The reason why he cultivated these people was mainly to prepare for the future reform of the Ming Dynasty.
When the time is right and Zhang Qingfeng is in charge of the Ming regime, he will carry out a drastic reform.
This reform will definitely touch the interests of many people, so he must make preparations ten or twenty years in advance.
Now that North Korea is about to be moved, for the first time, these people trained by Zhang Qingfeng have a formal use.
After sending out the people who sow dissension, Zhang Qingfeng focused his attention on the training of soldiers. Although it was training, it was nominally recruiting security guards for the royal firm.
After learning that the Royal Commercial Bank was once again recruiting security guards, many young people enthusiastically joined. In less than a month, Zhang Qingfeng recruited another 5 troops. Moreover, these 10,000 people were selected from among [-]+ people. A healthy young man.
The main reason why so many people joined enthusiastically was that the treatment at the Royal Trading Company was so good. After one person became a security guard of the Royal Trading Company, it was more than enough to support the whole family.
There are many people in Shuntian Prefecture and surrounding prefectures who have become security guards of the Royal Commercial Bank. The treatment of these people is the envy of many fellow villagers.
Now they have the opportunity to become the person they envy, so many people naturally want to seize the opportunity.
The reason why Zhang Qingfeng trained soldiers and horses when he had the opportunity was mainly to prepare for the reform.
Before reforming, he must first reform the military system. Only after reforming the military system can the entire Ming Dynasty be reformed.
As for the reform of the military system, if it is not handled properly, it will cause great backlash, because the interests involved are too great.
The Ming Dynasty adopted the policy of garrisoning troops in the field, which meant setting up a guard station in one place, arranging for 1000 to [-] soldiers to be stationed, and then allocating a large area of land to the station for thousands of households, allowing the military households stationed here to grow food to supply the thousands of households. Household.
When the Ming Dynasty was just established, Zhu Yuanzhang set up countless thousands of households in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and raised soldiers while farming.
He was very satisfied with his military field policy, saying: Raise millions of soldiers without abolishing a drop of civilians.
However, what he didn't expect was that his military land system would soon become a major maladministration of Ming Dynasty.
First of all, it is the conflict between the military household system and the military field system.
From the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to the present, the population has doubled or tripled, and the number of Juntian is effective, which increases the number of people that Juntian has to support.
However, after becoming a military household, they will be military households for the rest of their lives, and their descendants will also be military households. They cannot do other industries and industries. When the military fields cannot support so many people, many military households can only run away.
In addition, military fields have been annexed by military officers at all levels and local tyrants in the course of 200 years, and military households have become tenant farmers of these officers.
If Zhang Qingfeng wanted to reform the military system, he would basically offend all the officers and generals of the entire Ming Dynasty.
Because no matter whether you want to confiscate the military fields of the officers or reduce the number of military households, it is the interests of the officers that will be damaged.
Not to mention the confiscation of military fields, this was the most intense conflict.
With the abolition of military households, you have to give military households a new way of making a living, and if military households have a new way of making a living, the officers will lose their tenants.
The military officers have annexed so many military fields, can one person grow them?How can they make money without military households letting them exploit?
Therefore, if Zhang Qingfeng reformed the military system, many officers would definitely come forward to oppose it, and even cause mutinies in various places.
If there is no force capable of deterring all parties, Zhang Qingfeng's reform of the military system is courting death.
At present, Zhang Qingfeng has an army of about 10 people, but these troops are distributed in various places.
The soldiers and horses he trained, there are currently [-] Musketeers stationed in Japan, and [-] Musketeers in Ryukyu, nominally under the command of the Ryukyu King.
On Tiwan Island, Wu Wan and Zhu Changxun took away more than 2 soldiers and horses.
The Royal Fleet also stationed [-] soldiers and horses in Nanyang.
And these soldiers and horses cannot be mobilized.
What he can mobilize at any time are mainly the 5 soldiers and horses stationed on the southern coast, and the more than [-] security forces of the Royal Trading Company.
Moreover, for the safety of the royal firm, he could not mobilize all the security forces, only 3 of them could be mobilized.
Jiarang's 5 soldiers and horses stationed along the coast can only mobilize [-] soldiers in total.
Therefore, Zhang Qingfeng had to train more soldiers and horses. If the [-] new troops were trained, he would have [-] troops that he could mobilize at any time.
And this is not Zhang Qingfeng's ultimate goal. His idea is to train at least 20 troops.
With 20 troops equipped with advanced weapons and able to be mobilized at any time, he dared to try to reform the entire Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, the rebound would be too great and he might not be able to hold on.
"Teacher, why are you taking care of so many things, but you are so leisurely?"
On this day, Zhu Youxiao, the eldest grandson of the emperor, couldn't help but asked Zhang Qingfeng curiously.
He found that Zhang Qingfeng had a lot of time to do his own things almost all day long.
You must know that Zhang Qingfeng's subordinates need to manage so many things that ordinary people can't imagine.
But even so, Zhang Qingfeng can spare a lot of time to teach him every day.
"Your Highness, the key to management lies in employing people. As long as people are used well and correctly, you only need to leave things to your subordinates." Zhang Qingfeng said to Zhu Youxiao with a smile.
"Is it like my grandpa?" Zhu Youjian asked beside him.
Today was the day when Zhang Qingfeng taught the eldest grandson of the emperor, and he attended the class with the eldest grandson of the emperor, as well as Zhu Youjian, Zhu Youxiao's younger brother.
At this time, Zhu Youjian was only seven years old, and he was a cute young lady who also became Zhang Qingfeng's student last year.
Although this Zhu Youjian's name is Zhu Youjian, he should not be the same person as the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian in history. After all, the date of birth has changed, and his mother has also become another person.
Moreover, this Zhu Youjian is more than one year older than the historical Zhu Youjian.
"You could say the same."
Hearing Zhu Youjian's question, Zhang Qingfeng nodded after thinking for a while, and then continued: "Although your grandfather ignores the government affairs, he handed them over to the cabinet and the supervisor of ceremonies. Just make a verdict."
