    At this time, Zhu Youxiao saw Luo Sigong still standing and said to Wang An next to him: "You have no eyesight, why didn't you move a stool for Mr. Luo?"

    Wang An quickly smiled and said: "Master just said that he would give Mr. Li a seat, but he did not say that he would give Mr. Luo a seat. This kind of grace is something that I would not dare to use in my own right!"

    Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "Li Rubai has a seat even if he is a sinner, how could Master Luo not have one? Give Master Luo a seat quickly!"

    Luo Sigong thanked him quickly, and like Li Rubai, he sat down on the soft stool with half his buttocks bent. When the little eunuch brought the tea, Zhu Youxiao took a sip of tea and then said to Li Rubai: "Old Li! Is your Li family guilty?  So small!¡±

    Li Rubai was drinking tea. Hearing what Zhu Youxiao said, he was so frightened that his hands shook and half a cup of hot tea was spilled on his face. He didn't care that it was too hot. He quickly put down the teacup, knelt on the ground and said, "Sal  In the Battle of Margin, the guilty minister was defeated and humiliated the country and deserved death. How did your majesty deal with the guilty minister? The guilty ministers were all willing to thank you. I just asked your majesty to remember that the Li family had guarded the border for the country for many years. In the name of hard work and no credit, please give it to Li.  Let the housewives and children find a way to survive!"

    Zhu Youxiao put down the tea cup, looked at Li Rubai, and sneered: "If you lose a battle, you have to kill a general. I am not that stingy, let alone that extravagant. Your Li family's fault is not the defeat of Saarhu!"

    Li Rubai was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking for a moment, he asked hesitantly: "I dare to ask Your Majesty, if the crime of the Li family is not in Saarhu, then where is the crime of the Li family?"

    Zhu Youxiao stood up and walked to Li Rubai and said: "Your Li family has been guarding Liaodong since your ancestors came from Korea. I remember this credit. Your brother Li Rusong also did well against the Japanese pirates in Korea, but your Li family is the biggest  His crime was to raise a thief like Nurhaci in order to raise his own worth. If your father Li Chengliang or your eldest brother Li Rusong were alive, Nurhachi would be nothing. But your father passed away and your eldest brother accidentally died in battle. You Li  The family can no longer control this thief. Now this thief has been raised and strengthened. For this, Liaodong has paid the price of 100,000 casualties of soldiers and civilians. Do you think the Li family's crime is serious?"

    I don't know whether it was because Nuange was too hot or because he was frightened by Zhu Youxiao's words. Li Rubai was sweating profusely. He could only kowtow and beg: "The guilty minister knows that he is guilty. I just ask your majesty to let the Li family go. The guilty minister is willing to suffer thousands of deaths."  The punishment of being cut into pieces with ten thousand swords is to vent your anger on Your Majesty!"

    Zhu Youxiao sneered: "I was defeated and my own general was cut into pieces. Do you think I am a fool? Besides, the more than one hundred kilograms of meat on your body, Li Rubai, is not enough to repay the one hundred thousand soldiers and civilians of Liaodong."  Blood debt!"

    Li Rubai keenly heard something unusual in Zhu Youxiao's words. He raised his head and looked at Zhu Youxiao, and said firmly: "Your Majesty, what are your instructions? The guilty minister must be shattered to pieces to achieve your wishes!"

    Zhu Youxiao bent down, stared into Li Rubai's eyes, and said word for word: "I want you to train 100,000 cavalry within three years and pacify Liaodong and Mongolia. Can you do it?"

    Li Rubai didn¡¯t expect Zhu Youxiao to be so ambitious. He couldn¡¯t help but swallowed his saliva, but he still nodded firmly and said: ¡°Your Majesty has a destiny, and the guilty minister must do it even if he dies!¡±

    Zhu Youxiao straightened up and smiled and said, "Then what are you going to do? Tell me a rough plan. I want to see if you have such an ability!"

    Seeing that Zhu Youxiao was not dismissed by his rhetoric, Li Rubai began to plan in his mind how to train 100,000 cavalry in three years, and then use these people to sweep across Liaodong and Mongolia. To be honest, this was not the case for Li Rubai.  A simple thing, at least he had never thought of such a thing before.

    But after all, Li Rubai is the queen of the generals. Although his ability is not as good as that of his father and brother, he is not far behind. After half a stick of incense, Li Rubai finally said: "Your Majesty, the guilty minister has already thought about it!"

    Zhu Youxiao nodded and indicated that Li Rubai could speak. Li Rubai took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty wants to train 100,000 cavalry within three years. There are three difficulties. One of them is money and food"

    Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said bluntly: "You don't have to worry about this, I will solve it and ensure that you have no worries about food and salary and are well-equipped!"

    Li Rubai then said: "The remaining two difficulties are horses and people. I have a way to solve these two problems!"

    After Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment, he said with a smile: "Tell me and listen!"

    At this time, in order to find a way for himself and the Li family to survive, Li Rubai even let go of a fortune. He said loudly: "Horses can be smuggled from Mongolia, and salt, wine, ironware, silk and silk can all be exchanged for horses, and the price is still good."  It's relatively cheaper. In terms of people, the guilty minister's family still has eight thousand soldiers, all of whom are good on horseback. After recruiting 30,000 young men from the north who can ride horses and shoot bows, they can have the strength of 100,000 cavalry.Once it's set up, His Majesty can mobilize the rest of the troops from various armies. After integrating and training 100,000 troops for about three years, it will naturally become an army!  "

    Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment and said: "What I just said was a bit too hasty. One hundred thousand cavalry is not that easy to train, but as long as there is enough money and food, if you can train three to fifty thousand elite cavalry in about a year according to your method, is there no problem?  "

    Li Rubai said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, if you have enough money and food, and follow what I say, you can get 20,000 cavalry within three months. After half a year of training, they can become elite soldiers, and then you can recruit them one after another, one year."  It¡¯s not a big problem to train 50,000 cavalry!¡±

    Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said: "You are too anxious. I will give you one year, but as long as you train 30,000 cavalry, you have to write a military training experience. Qi Jiguang can write "New Book of Jixiao",  Why can't you, Li Rubai, write a book on cavalry?"

    Li Rubai said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty has high hopes for the guilty minister, and the guilty minister is really grateful. It's just a matter of writing a military letter, and the guilty minister is really powerless!"

    Zhu Youxiao waved his hands and said: "You don't have to worry about this. Just write down your training experience, and I will ask someone to sort it out for you. By then, you, Li Rubai, will also be able to leave your name in history!"

    Li Rubai's face flushed with excitement, and he kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty's kindness to the guilty minister is as deep as the sea. Even if the guilty minister is ruined, he will not be able to repay His Majesty!"

    Zhu Youzhan said seductively: "You don't have to say much to repay your kindness. Now I make you the commander of the cavalry of the Royal Guards of the Ming Empire. But now I can't give you anything except money and food. You need to recruit the troops yourself, but you  Remember one thing, I want 30,000 elite cavalry, not 20,000 horse-riding farmers with your 8,000 personal soldiers, do you remember that?"

    Li Rubai was stunned when he heard this. Today's Ming army is no longer what it was like at the time of Taizu and Chengzu. The Ming army at that time could go deep into the grasslands and fight against the Mongolian tribes with fear. However, today's Ming army has difficulty even defending the city. In addition,  The rotten military garrison system can be said to be the so-called million-strong army of the Ming Dynasty. It is basically rotten!

    In order to ensure their own status, military generals came up with the idea of ??deducting military pay to support their own soldiers, that is, using the food and wages of ordinary soldiers to support a group of elites. During the war, ordinary soldiers would die at the front, and if the situation was good, the private soldiers would go all out.  Defeat the enemy army, and the personal soldiers will be the main force to protect the general's escape!

    The reason why the Li family was able to prosper in Liaodong was mainly because they had eight thousand soldiers. With these eight thousand troops, no matter whether they were the Jin people or the Mongols, they could only stay away from the Li family. Of course, this was Li Chengliang and  When Li Rusong was alive, since Li Chengliang died of old age and Li Rusong unfortunately died in a raid on the Tartar King's tent, the Li family no longer had such a deterrent effect!

    Even the eight thousand elites Li Rubai mentioned were recruited after he took power. The original number of his own soldiers was less than three thousand, and their combat effectiveness was naturally far inferior to before. However, such a cavalry team now seems to be one of the best in the Ming Dynasty.  The elite cavalry!
