In the palace, Zhu Yijun started to have a headache again. This headache began to be infringed after Li Chengliang's army was defeated by the People's Army. In half a year, the headache had not subsided.

The imperial physician said this is heart disease, and heart disease still requires heart medicine.

If you want to cure Zhu Yijun's headache, you may have to wipe out the People's Army and search all the generals under your control who are respectful.

The court took out the permission of the gentry and merchants from all over the country to form a guard team, which was indeed a good way to quickly expand the army. Although the military power was divided, with the great enemy of the People's Army, everyone would be able to work together if they had the strength.

However, the gradually emerged under the Ming court with self-respecting generals made Zhu Yijun feel that the Zhu family's rule over the Ming Dynasty was getting weaker and weaker. Even if the People's Army was wiped out, would the Ming Dynasty rise up like the Han Dynasty, and then compete for hegemony in the Three Kingdoms, and finally the Jin Dynasty was established.

Since the end of March, Zhu Yijun has known that the Ming Dynasty had three more generals who were self-respecting, namely Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, and Zheng Yuewen.

Originally, Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, and Zheng Yuewen were all people that Zhu Yijun trusted more. Zhu Yijun was worried that Li Chengliang would be respectful, so he rebelled against the Ming Dynasty after destroying the People's Army, so he sent Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, and Zheng Yuewen to control Li Chengliang.

Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, and Zheng Yuewen barely managed to control Li Chengliang, 900,000 Ming army, Li Chengliang commanded 500,000, Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, and Zheng Yuewen combined to command more than 400,000.

Zhu Yijun thought that as long as Li Chengliang's army fought with the People's Army, they would either die or be injured or both. At that time, Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, and Zheng Yuewen led the army to wipe out Li Chengliang's army and the People's Army, and one plan was very good in Zhu Yijun's opinion.

Unexpectedly, this plan was unexpected. The People's Army was too strong. It easily defeated Li Chengliang's army and defeated Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao and Zheng Yuewen one after another.

Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, and Zheng Yuewen each fled to Yunnan, Hubei, Yangtze River North, and Zhejiang areas with remnants ranging from 40,000 to 60,000.

It is no problem to lead the remnants of the army to escape. The People's Army is too strong, and they will die if they stay. The key is that Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, and Zheng Yuewen are now obeying the orders of the court. Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, and Zheng Yuewen are all obeying the orders of the court, but if they want to get the three of them back to the capital to report their lives, and then they will have no follow-up words if the orders are passed.

It can be said that Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, and Zheng Yuewen are now self-respecting, and have almost become local emperors in Yunnan, Huguang, Changjiang North, and Zhejiang. Even local officials have to obey the orders of the three.

It’s not that the ministers had thought of using Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao and Zheng Yuewen’s family to let the three obey the orders, but Zhu Yijun was sure that they wanted to attack the three of them, so the three of them dared to directly rebel against the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, as long as the court protects the three of them, they can continue to maintain the status quo and work together to resist the People’s Army.

Tang Qi, Li Zhengmao, and Zheng Yuewen were role models. Later, many Ming army generals began to listen to the command and not the announcement, and would not accept anything that would harm their interests.

Of course, there were still many generals in the Ming court who were still loyal to the emperor, and their overall strength was even greater than those who were self-respecting. However, now Zhu Yijun cannot issue an order to deal with these generals who obeyed the orders and did not listen to the proclamation. Once the action was taken, the military strength of the Ming Dynasty would be damaged. How could he resist the People's Army?

A more serious matter was happening. After the order to allow gentry and merchants from all over the country to form a guard team was issued, the generals of the Ming army who were respectful were also interfering in the matter. They were preparing to form a guard team in their area as a supplementary force, and use the money of gentry and merchants to expand and support the army.

Whether the Ming Dynasty can defeat the People's Army three years later is still a question. Even if the People's Army can defeat the People's Army and wipe out the People's Army, how should the Ming Dynasty deal with these generals who are self-respecting.

Zhu Yijun has been having a headache for these things. The Ming Dynasty was not still good in the past ten years before he became emperor. Why did the Ming Dynasty have become like this in just six or seven years?

After learning about what happened outside the capital, Zhu Yijun understood very well that the emergence of the People's Army could also make the People's Army grow rapidly because of the second foundation of the Ming Dynasty: officials and landlords.

The most common people in the People's Army are the people without land. The landlords tried every means to get rid of the people's land and continued to exploit the tenants. The governments in various places did not care about the landlord's exploitation of the tenants, and many officials even raised taxes privately.

With the efforts of landlords and officials, the people could no longer survive and could only escape or rebel.

Zhu Yijun now understands these things very well, but what's the use? Can he still kill these officials and landlords?

Officials and landlords are now the second foundation of the Ming Dynasty. Without them, the Ming Dynasty may collapse immediately. Zhu Yijun dares not attack officials and landlords at all.

It's ridiculous. As the noblest person in the world and as the emperor, Zhu Yijun actually has things he dare not do. Zhu Yijun doesn't know how many people in this palace are loyal to him.

Zhu Yijun believed that there were still many ministers and scholars in the world who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty. If the generals were loyal to the Ming Dynasty and had the ability to resist the People's Army, Zhu Yijun would dare to order the Ming army to attack those officials. If the officials were gone, they could select new officials from the scholars.

There are big problems with the landlords. Many literati, scholars and even officials come from landlord families.

More importantly, the Ming army cannot stop the People's Army now, and many generals still listen to the command and not the Xuan. The Zhu family's rule over the Ming Dynasty has reached a dangerous moment, and it is impossible for the Zhu family to become the end of the Liu family.

Zhu Yijun has a headache. Zhu Yijun wants to solve all the problems in front of him, but what is the solution to the problem?

After thinking about it, Zhu Yijun knew that he had only one way left, and then he broke it.

The Zhu family's country has become like this. Zhu Yijun needs an army that is completely loyal to him. The number of people can be smaller, but it must be elite, so elite that it is as invincible as the People's Army.

As long as there is such an elite force in hand, and with other loyal people to the Zhu family, Zhu Yijun can re-rule the world no matter what the Zhu family's country becomes, and all the rebels will be killed, even if tens of millions of people die for this, they will be spared.

Of course, under the premise of defeating the People's Army, the number of generals under the Ming court who listened to the command and did not listen to the prosecutors was increasing. However, with the great enemy of the People's Army, everyone could barely be willing to be in the same position. Not to mention defeating the People's Army, if they could not even resist, there was no need to say anything.

Practice an elite army that is loyal to you and defeat the People's Army. In order to defeat the People's Army, you can even increase the strength of a general who has self-respected troops.
