The military opportunity meeting finally reached three resolutions, one was to establish a strategy of defending the Later Jin Dynasty and abandon the unrealistic plan to recover Liaodong in the short term.

In the future, the fortress will only be built to the Jinzhou line at most and will no longer expand eastward. Sun Chengzong's plan to recover Liaodong with the fortress tactics was given up halfway.

The monarchs and ministers here have already predicted that when the Liao pay is reduced from 5 million taels to 4 million taels per year, the Liaoxi generals must incite war chaos. Wang Zaijin, the Minister of War, who is about to supervise Liao, has already felt that ten thousand pounds are pressing on his shoulders.

The second is to raise the new army and military academy to the point where it is related to the survival of the Ming Dynasty. The officials present will automatically become teachers of the Xishan Military Academy and will start preparing for the military academy now.

The organizational structure of Xishan Military Academy was copied by Zhu Youjian from the Whampoa Military Academy. Zhu Youjian was personally the principal of Xishan Military Academy. The vice president was Sun Chengzong, Si Ye [Dean of Education] was Yuan Chonghuan, and professors were Lu Shanji, Mao Yuanyi, etc.

In order to prepare for the new army and military academy, Zhu Youjian took out one million taels from the treasury and handed over to Sun Chengzong, of which 400,000 taels were used for the Xishan Military Academic and 600,000 taels were used to form the new army.

And this is just the food and salary for the new army and military academy in the next year. If the new army is to form combat effectiveness, Zhu Youjian will have to spend a greater cost to become the Whampoa Military Academy.

Third, the work arrangements for the ministers of the Military Affairs Office were first of all, Sun Chengzong, the Minister of Military Affairs Office, was responsible for assisting the emperor's major military affairs, presided over the overall work of the Military Affairs Office, and was mainly responsible for the preparations for the New Army and the Xishan Military Academy.

The Military Chief and Minister of War Wang had another position as governor of Ji Liao in the title of Jin. After the meeting, Wang Zai Jin took the Shangfang Sword granted by Zhu Youjian to take office in Liaodong and governor of Liaodong and Jizhou.

Yuan Chonghuan, Lu Shanji, and Mao Yuanyi not only assisted Sun Chengzong in preparing for the establishment of the new army and military academies, but also responsible for establishing the General Staff Department of the Military Affairs Office and cultivating staff talents, which also lays the foundation for Zhu Youjian to form the General Staff Department in the future.

Fan Jingwen and Li Banghua, two backbone members of the Donglin Party, were assigned to the Four Guards and Camps to supervise the Four Guards and Camps.

The so-called Four Guards and Camps are the elites of the emperor's twenty-six guards' personal army, namely Tengxiang Left Guard, Tengxiang Right Guard, Wuxiang Left Guard, and Wuxiang Right Guard.

Among the twenty-six guards, the other guards guard the imperial city, all of which are infantry; while the four guards are guards, belonging to the emperor's personal guards. Basically, wherever the emperor goes, the four guards follow, and the four guards are the most exquisite cavalry, which is also the reason why the four guards are under the control of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

According to the organization of the garrison, there should be 5,600 soldiers and horses in one garrison, but now the garrison system has been completely corrupt, and it is good that a garrison can have a thousand soldiers and horses.

The Four Guards and Battalions have not fought for many years, and their combat power has long been abandoned. The total number of soldiers and horses is only 5,000. The number of soldiers and horses in the Imperial Horse Supervisor is only 3,000. The number of cavalrymen who can ride high-headed horses is less than 1,000.

According to Zhu Youjian's estimate, he would lead troops to fight against the Later Jin Dynasty for about two years, but Zhu Youjian was definitely not satisfied with the Four Guards, as the emperor's personal guard.

So he handed over the Four Guards to Fan Jingwen, and Li Banghua went to make trouble. Fan Jingwen supervised Tengxiang's left and right guards, and Li Banghua supervised Wuxiang's left and right guards.

Zhu Youjian ordered Fan Jingwen and Li Banghua to supervise the Four Guards and Battalions, and also had plans to reform the Jingying Front Station in the future. However, the Jingying was very involved. Before the new army and the Four Guards and Battalions formed combat effectiveness, Zhu Youjian did not intend to act lightly, so as not to touch the interests and rush to incite the Beijing camp rebellion.

It should be known that once the Beijing camp rebelled, it would be difficult for Zhu Youjian to quell the rebellion with only the Jinyiwei and the Four Guards. Once the Beijing camp was invaded into the palace, life and death would only be between the front lines.

Zhu Youjian was undoubtedly a greedy person who was afraid of death. He would not make a big fuss against the Beijing camp until he was absolutely sure. If he wanted to move the Beijing camp, the new army and the four guard camps must have the combat power to suppress the Beijing camp.

Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua formed the Military Affairs Office's Military Preparation Department, responsible for the development of cannons and muskets for the new army.

The Yang Sichang, Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng, who were specially recruited by Zhu Youjian, were not idle either. Zhu Youjian knew that after entering the Chongzhen year, there would be drought in Shaanxi year and become the center of the peasant uprising.

To this end, Zhu Youjian specially ordered Yang Sichang, Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng to study at the Xishan Military Academy for three months, and then rushed to Shaanxi, asking the three to recruit soldiers in the three places, recruit Qin soldiers to form a new army.

The Qin soldiers have always been brave and good at fighting, and have been the best place for military sources in all dynasties. In history, the Qin army led by Sun Chuanting was as famous as the Guanning Iron Cavalry and Tianxiong Army, and were called the three major armies in the late Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youjian ordered Yang, Sun and Lu to recruit soldiers in Shaanxi. One can reduce the number of refugees and the other can train elite soldiers. It can be said that they kill two birds with one stone.

After the military opportunity meeting ended, Zhu Youjian also specially kept Yang, Sun and Lu and gave him face-to-face instructions.

Zhu Youjian also learned from Emperor Wu of Han. Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che discovered that Wei Qing's nephew Huo Qubing had the talent to lead troops, so he took Huo Qubing to him for training. Huo Qubing's combat thoughts were taught by Emperor Wu of Han himself. Emperor Wu of Han regarded Huo Qubing as his own shadow and favored him.

As a result, Huo Qubing did not disappoint Emperor Wu of Han. He went to the Huns several times to achieve the eternal achievements of Fenglangjuxu, and became the object of imitation by Han generals of all dynasties.

To be honest, Yang, Sun, and Lu's military talent are far inferior to Huo Qubing, but Huo Qubing's talent is hard to come by, and this is the only one who has passed through thousands of years.

Zhu Youjian only hopes that through acquired training, one of them can reach Qi Jiguang's level.

The three of them first thanked Zhu Youjian for his great grace and transferred them from the six benches to the Military Affairs Office to give important tasks.

Zhu Youjian said: "I, Jianbaer and others, entered the Military Affairs Office, because I saw the talent of knowing military affairs from you, Yang Qing's family background, Sun Qing has many strategies, and Lu Qing is born with divine power. These are all resources for famous generals. If you focus on training, you may not be inferior to Qi Shaobao.

What is quite rare is that you are all Jinshi. If you can achieve military merits, I think you don’t have to follow the old system of the cabinet and have to sit in the Hanlin Academy for 20 or 30 years before you can enter the cabinet.

The ministers I hoped were the prime ministers who could govern the army during the Han and Tang dynasties, but not those corrupt scholars who only knew how to govern the country with the Four Books and Five Classics."

Yang Sichang, Sun Chuanting, and Lu Xiangsheng only realized that the emperor had solemnly and highly anticipated them. This was to cultivate them as future cabinet ministers!

It should be noted that none of the three of them were ranked first in the Jinshi, only Lu Xiangsheng was born in the second list of Jinshi, Yang Sichang and Sun Chuanting were both ranked third list of Jinshi, so there should be no hope of entering the cabinet.

But now Zhu Youjian promised them the opportunity to enter the cabinet, so why did they not be grateful to Zhu Youjian and wish they could repay him for his death?

The three of them originally wanted to kneel down and bow to Zhu Youjian three times and nine times, but when they thought that Zhu Youjian had just abolished the kneeling ceremony in the army, they had to bow and bow and bow, "Your Majesty's kindness is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea. I can only be brave enough to die after death."
