Chapter 728 Qi Jiguang, why don’t you usurp the throne!


Chapter 728 Qi Jiguang, why don’t you usurp the throne!

Li Huo knocked on the door twice in Anzhou and Dingzhou. Because the civil and military officials who had surrendered to the Ming Dynasty had already surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, they closed the door tightly and refused to let Li Huo enter the city on the grounds of Japanese invasion. This was because these civil and military officials who had surrendered accepted the idea. The Ming Dynasty had a clear decree to abolish Li Huo's position as king. Since he had made his position clear, welcoming Li Huo into the city would be another rebellion.

After Li Xian was desperate and returned to Pyongyang, he was immediately put under house arrest by Yi Sun-sin in the middle palace of Anhak Palace. Yi Sun-shin was not too harsh because the rebels needed this royal flag, but Li Xin was placed under house arrest in the middle palace. , wrote a letter in blood and asked the servant to send it to the Japanese pirates camp, hoping that the Japanese pirates would rescue him.

The reason for this is simple, it doesn't matter who is the suzerain, he wants to be the king.

Yi Sunchen scolded Li He for forgetting his ancestors because this was not the first time Japanese pirates invaded Korea, but the third time.

The first time was in the 17th year of Yongle, when Emperor Taizong and Sejong of Korea attacked Tsushima Island, and the master of Tsushima Island surrendered, and finally signed the Guihai Treaty; the second time was in the 5th year of Masanori's reign, when the Miura Japanese Rebellion occurred. The Japanese rioted in Nippo, Busanpo, and Yanpu. The Ma Zong family and the Maori family immediately sent troops to invade North Korea. Zhongzong of North Korea drove the Japanese pirates into the sea.

This is why Oda Nobunaga wants to use all his strength to send 150,000 troops at once, because judging from historical conflicts, North Korea has a complete victory record.

North Korea's defeat so quickly was actually beyond Oda Nobunaga's expectations.

"Bang!"

Li Sunchen lifted Li Ao up, slammed him to the ground, and spat fiercely. The anger in his heart subsided a little. This anger was not only for Li Ao's poor performance during the Japanese pirate invasion, but also The resentment had been brewing for a long time. If the Emperor of Ming Dynasty had not made an explicit decree, Li Huo would have been killed long ago.

In Yi Sun-shin's opinion, North Korea's complete relaxation of armaments was all due to the military status collection method devised by the idiot in front of him.

Before Li Hao, North Korea had a little bit of the Song Dynasty, and a little bit of the Ming Dynasty. It did emphasize culture over military affairs, but because many Ming elements were added, the harm of emphasizing culture over military affairs was actually not that great.

North Korea and the Ming Dynasty had the same military system, that is, military garrison posts. There were military households for generations. North Korea had a total of five guard posts. Before the Military Registration Act, some military households had to pay cloth fees if they did not want to be soldiers. To avoid military service, you need to find someone to serve on your behalf while paying the cloth, which is called Daili.

You don't need to be a military householder, but you must find someone to replace you to ensure the integrity of the quota.

Although North Korea values ​​culture over military power, because it has a complete military structure, it can always win in the end whenever it conflicts with Japanese pirates and slaves.

But in the hands of Li Huo, in order to gather money, Li Huo established the military registration law. As long as the military registration was paid, there was no need to find someone to act as a military household on his behalf, and the military registration was directly paid for military service.

Because in the previous "Dai Li", all the cloth paid was swallowed up by the generals of the guards. The king of Korea and the court did not benefit at all, so Li Hao calculated it, I should make some money from this money, and directly legalized it, or even He can be exempted from military service directly just to collect money. He, Li Huo, wants this money.

The decision of the ministers of the DPRK and China to slap their foreheads immediately triggered a comprehensive desertion. Originally, military service was compulsory, but now it can be replaced by military service. North Korea's military structure of eight roads and five guard stations has suffered a devastating blow, and there is no one left.

According to the wishes of Li Huo, the minister of the DPRK at that time, all the military cloth collected was used for the new army, that is, recruiting troops.

However, after so many years of collecting these military cloths, the military cloths have not turned into new armies. The reason is clearly understood by North Korea's monarchs and ministers. The words of the North Korean and Central Minister Liu Chengyong, "Raising troops without trouble means raising disasters" is the consensus of all North Korean ministers. .

The original government military system collapsed, and military service was replaced by military service. However, military service did not become a recruitment system. This was the fundamental reason why North Korea was defeated by the Japanese pirates this time.

"To raise troops without anything to do is to prepare for disaster. Now that something has happened, how can we quell the disaster!" Li Sunchen kicked Li He's leg hard again and asked sternly: "We Qiu Ba, the food is not as good as the prisoners in the county government." ! You don’t follow the orders of the late King Zhenwu at all!”

In the Ming Dynasty, Wuzong died out, and Taoist priests joined Da Zong. Similar things happened in Korea, and it happened twice in a row.

Renzong died and had no heirs, and Mingzong succeeded to the throne. Mingzong died and had no heirs, and Li Huo succeeded to the throne.

Li Huo was different from Mingzong. When Mingzong was in power, he even made some concessions and intended to strengthen his military power. When Li Huo came to power, he completely turned to the ministers.

Li Huo covered his legs and kept wailing. His hair was disheveled. When Li Sunchen asked him, he whispered: "Is it all my fault? The officials in power only care about cultivating the party for personal gain and honoring their bodies and enriching their houses." Things!”

"I believed that the Ming Dynasty's new policy was effective, and I also asked the ministers about Zhenwu Zhenwu, and ordered the military officer to judge Li Er Zhenwu, intending to raise 100,000 soldiers to prepare for military affairs. Liu Chenglong formed a party for personal gain and refused. What happened to Li Er? He died in the prison cell. Among! ”

"The Ming Dynasty opened the sea and the east wind blew, even the Japanese Nagasaki and Hiroshima became the pearls of the sea. Could it be that our Uiju, Incheon, and Busan are good ports? I don't know? I ordered Hu Cao to judge Kim Tae-jo to build a Ming Pavilion in the The three places were doing business with the Ming Dynasty, and Jin Taizuo was a wealthy family of the Andong Jin family. What happened to Jin Taizuo? He died in the dung on the fence for no apparent reason!"

"What can I do, Yi Sun-shin, tell me, what can I do?!"

Li Huo let go of his hand, leaned against the wall, looked at Li Sunchen, vomited blood and looked out the window, and said blankly: "The Emperor of Ming Dynasty was lucky. He ascended the throne at the age of ten, and the chief minister and assistant of the court protected him. The young country is suspicious of the world. That Zhang Juzheng, regardless of his posthumous reputation, is good at governing as regent. At first, I was still laughing. Look, Zhang Juzheng will definitely replace him!"

"The little emperor at that time trusted Zhang Juzheng so much that he even helped Zhang Juzheng's disciple Qi Jiguang become a general and command the Beijing camp. The little emperor will definitely be usurped by this pair of civil and military officials."

"But if this position was just for the dragon throne, it would be fine, but he did it to revitalize the Ming Dynasty! He actually returned the government to the emperor!"

Before the twelfth year of Wanli, North Korea could pay regular tribute, that is, it could pay tribute and trade multiple times a year. Li Huo knew everything about what happened in the Ming Dynasty. At first, he was still waiting to see the joke. They were all Zhang Juzheng's people. The emperor believed in Xun Li's tactics and made Zhang Juzheng talk about everything.

When Qi Jiguang became General Qian'an Bo, the emperor was only ten years old and truly an orphan and widower.

Orphans and widowers, powerful ministers and generals, it would be a big weird thing if nothing happened!

"Why! Whatever the Ming Emperor wanted to do, Zhang Juzheng and his civil servants wanted to help him, and Qi Jiguang and his military generals also wanted to help him. And what I wanted to do, I finally found the person to do it, but the result! I was killed! He drowned in a cesspool! Why is he so lucky?" Li Huo almost passed away from the pain, but he was still angry.

Yi Sunchen sneered and said, "I've told you the principles of a man's life, but you won't understand. I will definitely report this blood letter of yours to Japan's Shenluo to the Holy One! I will punish you for the serious crime of treason with Japan!" ”

Li Hao didn't lie. He really tried hard. He also tried to transform the army into a new army, but the resistance was too great. The wind that opened the sea in the Ming Dynasty blew more than once. Even Nagasaki was in the hands of the Ming Dynasty and became The dazzling pearl on the sea, their 17 million people in North Korea, the open sea wind blowing all over North Korea, what is the scene like?

Zhenwu's Bingcao Banshu is the second-class official of the Joseon Dynasty, which is equivalent to the Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty. Kaihai's Hucao Banshu is equivalent to the Minister of Hubu, and Hucao Banshu Kim Taejo was born in the wealthy Andong Jin family. As a result, because He opened the sea and drowned in a manure pit. When he was found, he was already a bit giant-minded.

Li Hao felt it was unfair. Why was the Emperor Ming so lucky? Why didn't Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang usurp the throne?

Yi Sunchen quickly received Qi Jiguang's military order, and without much hesitation, he sent Li Huan to Yizhou. Pyongyang was now a war zone and was in danger of falling. If Pyongyang fell, Yi Sunchen would kill Li Huan. Even if you want to surrender to the Japanese, you can only be a hero and give North Korea the last dignity.

After entering Japan, the king of Joseon became a Japanese pirate. This kind of thing is really shameful.

The Ming Dynasty asked for Li Hao. Obviously, the 30,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty's capital camp had arrived. The Ming Dynasty army was already powerful enough on the Korean battlefield.

Li Huo was sent to Yizhou. Qi Jiguang was in Yizhou. When he saw Li Huan, he looked at his wretched state and asked in confusion: "Why was he beaten like this? His legs were even broken."< br>


"It was Yi Sunchen who beat him." Chen Dacheng sighed and said, "Li Sunchen is very resentful, or the North Korean soldiers are very resentful."

"That's not surprising." Qi Jiguang smiled and shook his head and said: "When Li Shunchen was in the Ming Dynasty, he kept talking about the current situation of the Korean army. Tsk tsk. Since the release of the country's nationality, the soldiers originally had a piece of land to grow enough to feed themselves. Later, they even The land is gone.”

North Korea copied the military system of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, this military system was not perfect, but it could still be used by tinkering with it. After all, it took the Ming Dynasty two hundred years to survive, right?

North Korean soldiers also farmed. However, after the release of their registration, some soldiers did not want to leave and would be released because someone wanted to annex their land. The problem of land annexation has further worsened in North Korea.

The problems that the Ming Dynasty had, North Korea also had. The problems that the Ming Dynasty did not have, North Korea also had them.

What made military commanders like Yi Sun-shin and Han Ke-cheng even more unbearable was that the Joseon court had a bunch of hwarangs riding on the heads of these warriors. The first condition of a hwarang was to be handsome. He also has a bunch of tattoos on his body. He is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and song, but he is not good at fighting.

Qi Jiguang was already very angry just listening to it. After Yi Sunchen experienced it, he would definitely be even more angry. It was just a low status, but he was also being ridden on the neck by a group of fake men who were monsters and monsters to show off their power. If Yi Sunchen didn't kill Li He, really It’s really very sensible!

"Qi Shuai! Why don't you usurp the throne!" Li Huo's leg was broken. He was in so much pain that he couldn't sleep at all. He looked haggard. When he saw Qi Jiguang, he blurted out immediately, and he was somewhat crazy.

When Zu Chengxun heard this, he felt bad. Now that the army was outside, wouldn't it be bad if Qi Jiguang took such provocation seriously?

"Hahaha!" When Qi Jiguang and Chen Dacheng heard this, they pointed at Li Huan and started laughing. After laughing for a while, Qi Jiguang shook his head and said: "I heard about your story, and I just want to sit back and enjoy it. There is no such good thing in the world. , when I first met the emperor, His Majesty was practicing martial arts, and I was shocked by the audacity of Tishuai Zhu Xixiao.”

"You probably don't understand how a man does things. If you could understand, you wouldn't leave Seoul. This question is easy to answer. The Beijing camp has always been His Majesty's Beijing camp, from the very beginning."


Everyone in the capital camp knows His Majesty. Your Majesty has to parade the military horses every day. At that time, the Northern Captives were still there. His Majesty parades the military horses every day. The pressure on the soldiers is really too great. A string has been stretched all the time. Sooner or later, it will be Of course, it was Qi Jiguang who advocated conducting a parade every other day, but His Majesty would go there every day. Even if he did not conduct a parade, he would still communicate with the soldiers.

Mutiny to seize power? How did Qi Jiguang give this order? As long as your Majesty stands there, no one will take action.

Zu Chengxun was a general in Liaodong. He had never been to the Beijing Camp before he felt frightened. But in fact, as long as he went to the Beijing Camp, he knew very well that it was impossible to build the Beijing Camp. Chengzu left him to parade the troops and horses every day. This method solved a serious trust problem, that is, the emperor was a little tired.

In fact, this method cannot last long. Few people who are born noble are willing to work so hard. King Lu Zhu Yili is a control group. When King Lu heard that the emperor was about to return to Beijing, he immediately gave up his job and left three days for the emperor. After completing the memorial, His Majesty did not blame him, but gave him many beauties from all over the world. Your Majesty is a born nobleman, but in the first year of Wanli, Wang Jinglong assassinated the king and killed him, which awakened your Majesty's sleeping heart.

"You asked Yi Sunchen what to do. Yi Sunchen didn't know how to answer. In fact, your ancestors have left a way to make things happen. If you encounter these difficulties, just go to the Ming Dynasty to cry and complain, and you can break the situation."


"Take good care of him and stay in Yizhou for the time being. After this battle is over, let the Korean royal family send a memorial to express gratitude for the Ming Dynasty's restoration and enclose the Ming Dynasty." Qi Jiguang had no intention of killing Li Huo. This guy And his son Guanghaejun is still useful. Ming Dynasty also needs face when doing things. The king of Joseon is included, and no one can find fault.

The Ming Dynasty wanted to lose face, so Li Huo ran to the Ming Dynasty and cried, and the Ming Dynasty really helped. However, it was a matter of two minds whether Li Huo himself could return to North Korea. After all, Zhang Juzheng was ready to let him fall into the water.

Zhang Juzheng was a scholar, and at most he left a mark in the history books. Zhang Juzheng guessed the emperor's thoughts wrongly and could only be granted the title of Marquis of Yicheng.

Qi Jiguang was not in a hurry to attack, and the offensive pressure was on the Japanese pirates' side.

He had already explained this to the Ming Emperor in court, but in order to prevent something weird like Li Yu directing Han Kecheng to march into the army from happening, Qi Jiguang once again wrote a battle report, explaining in detail why the offensive pressure was on the side of the Japanese pirates.

Because the Japanese pirates must eliminate the Korean royal family, the Japanese pirates were like autumn leaves sweeping away fallen leaves. Their attack speed was too fast, and rebels were everywhere in the area they occupied.

Hwangju, Haeju, Kaesong, Seoul, Gunsan, Suncheonbu, Busan Sampo, Chungju, etc. are all areas where rebels are active, and each place has a rebel army of more than 10,000 people. If the Joseon royal family cannot be eliminated, Or if the North Korean royal family had not entered Kyoto to join the army, these rebels would have been operating behind enemy lines.

Even if the Korean royal family is wiped out, or Li Xin really goes to the Japanese state of Shenluo, it actually doesn't matter. The Ming Dynasty has already deposed Li Xin's throne in advance.

If the Japanese pirates are still unable to capture Pyongyang Uiju and fully conquer North Korea, the activities of the rebels behind enemy lines will require a huge amount of manpower and material resources to clear them up and ensure logistical supplies.

Qi Jiguang set up the Dragon Gate Formation in Pyongyang, waiting for the Japanese pirates to come. On the Korean battlefield, a big victory was needed. The number of the first and second legions was really too small, 35,000, that is. To wipe them all out would be a traumatic experience for the Japanese pirates.

The battle report was in the hands of the coastal defense patrol and rushed to the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yijun received Qi Jiguang's battle report on the afternoon of the next day.

Pyongyang has not fallen, Pyongyang's defense has been completely completed, the Longmen Formation has been set up, and the Korean royal family and ministers have been completely controlled by the Ming Dynasty. Similarly, Qi Jiguang once again elaborated on the offensive pressure of the Japanese pirates, and the strategic initiative is in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yijun received a lot of good news and happily said to Feng Bao: "As long as Pyongyang has not fallen, can I also issue an order to move Marin's position at the foot of Jinxiu Mountain three feet forward?"


"Um, three feet ahead is the Datong River." Feng Bao didn't understand His Majesty's words a little and didn't catch His Majesty's suggestion.

Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "Zhao Kuangyi, Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, invented the formation map. When the army marches, when and where it will arrive and where to station, it must act according to the formation map. As a result, the hydrology has changed. The station is in the river, and the military general We can’t go against the formation plan, after all, the eunuch supervising the army will report it truthfully, and finally camp in the river.”

The jokes about military operations in the Northern Song Dynasty were written into a book called "Xiao Lin Guang Ji", which would probably fill a hundred volumes.

The Northern Song Dynasty valued literature over martial arts. I really don’t blame Zhao Kuangyin for bullying orphans and widows and wearing a yellow robe. When Zhao Da was in the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty also had strong soldiers and horses. Zhao Er was on the bank of the Gaoliang River. Song was not so passive.

Zhu Yijun felt that it was somewhat unfair to blame Li Chenggui for North Korea's collapse. There were some things that he did not live up to, so don't blame your ancestors. He was the one who invented the military status collection law. At present, North Korea's The lack of military preparedness was Li Hao's fault.

It’s not just a day or two that North Korea has valued culture over military power. Others can win. If he can’t win, he must have done something wrong.

As for Li Hao's question, why Qi Jiguang didn't usurp the throne? The reason is actually very simple. When the regime was stable, Qi Jiguang couldn't do it even if he wanted to, and besides, he didn't want to.

By the time Beijing camp became powerful, Zhu Yijun had grown up.

"Qi Shuai's plan to catch turtles in a urn is so obvious. Even I can see it. Can it be successful?" Zhu Yijun said a little strangely after reading the battle report: "Qi Shuai wants to vacate the lower reaches of the Datong River to allow the Japanese pirates to cross the river. , and then fought a decisive battle with Japanese pirates on the west side of Pyongyang, on the plains between Moran Peak and Pyongyang.”

"If I were a Japanese pirate, I would never go. The Ming Dynasty's most powerful force is its firearms. If I cross the river to advance, wouldn't I be giving military merit to Commander Qi? It's not a secret that the Ming Dynasty is good at lining up and shooting."

"But it seems impossible not to go. If we don't go, we will have to gather heavy troops on the east side of the Datong River to prevent the Ming Army from attacking. Then the rebel activities in the rear will not be suppressed. Then we will be flanked by two sides, and our logistics will be harassed by the rebels. We can only wait for death, tusk, Qi Shuai deserves to be Qi Shuai, this is a conspiracy!"

Qi Jiguang played a bright card in the Korean battlefield. Every move of the Japanese pirates had to be guided by Qi Jiguang. Zhu Yijun substituted himself as a general of the Japanese pirates, but all he got was despair. He had to jump into a pit of fire even though he knew it was a fire pit.

It's a conspiracy, so what if you can see it? It cannot be cracked at all.

"If it falls into the hands of Qi Shuai, it's bad luck for them Japanese pirates." Zhu Yijun Zhu approved Qi Jiguang's memorial and wrote hundreds of words eloquently. He just talked about some things in the capital and summarized it in six words. He spoke when he was short of money and food.

Zhu Yijun had just wiped out the Nanya Cotton Gang, confiscated two million silver from his house, and with the help of Zhengmao and maritime merchants who were bound to help in killing the Japanese pirates, Tanggu Cang, Zhouzhou, Tianjin, really had money and food.

The killing of Japanese pirates really gained widespread support. Some old wealthy people in the south of the Yangtze River blocked the yamen door and asked if the court was short of money and food. Previously, the old wealthy people were still waiting and watching. They heard that Qi Jiguang had gone to North Korea. This was definitely not a coincidence. The old rich man also has a blood debt.

"Your Majesty is mighty, the Ming army is mighty." Feng Bao said with a smile. Generals such as Qi Jiguang, Li Rusong, Ma Lin and even Xiong Tingbi have been saying one thing, that is, the weight of the general's personal bravery is constantly declining and is no longer Then there is the decisive factor that affects the outcome of the war on the battlefield.

After all, the tactic of queuing up and shooting has been widely used. After the artillery bombards the infantry, the infantry rushes, and the infantry rushes and the artillery bombards them. Even His Majesty can take command in person.

However, a victorious general like Qi Jiguang still has a great impact on the morale of the army on the battlefield, so generals are still very important.

"Next chapter, the Ministry of Household Affairs will keep an eye on the food in Tanggu warehouse in Tianjin Prefecture! If there is a problem, it will be punished by treason with the Japanese. They are the lifeblood of the frontline soldiers. They cannot fight hungry. No matter how strong a soldier is, he will be hungry for three days. , and no longer have the will to fight. "The purpose of Zhu Yijun's decree is very clear. When it comes to fighting, be more serious!

On weekdays, it's just a fire dragon burning the warehouse. That's corruption. If you dare to mess around with military rations, the emperor will definitely kill you. This is collusion with Japanese invaders, which is of a different nature.

Feng Bao was not an expert. He actually knew that Ming soldiers could still have the will to fight after being starved for three days, because when Dun Tai Yuan Hou went deep into the prison camp, he often starved for three days. The commander of the punishment, Chen Mo, was on the grassland. After running around for five years, it was normal to eat raw hair and drink blood. When I was hungry and anxious, I would even eat cotton.

Zhu Yijun was holding a memorial in his hand, which was a joint letter signed by General Xian Hai Rui and Li Youzi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Wan Shihe and Shen Li, Ministers of the Ministry of Rites, to popularize arithmetic education and increase the weight of arithmetic in the provincial and college examinations, or in other words Set arithmetic and mathematics as the threshold.

There are thousands of words in the memorial, summarizing the development process of the imperial examination in the past. In fact, it is just saying one thing. The imperial examination has been becoming more fair. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, everyone could not participate in the imperial examination. In the Song Dynasty, there was a phenomenon of aliasing. , but 70% of the officials in the Song Dynasty were still favored and recommended. In the Ming Dynasty, they had no fame and no official position.

Examination science is to make the imperial examination more fair and better achieve the purpose of selecting scholars for the country.

What Hai Rui means is that gods can create geniuses in poetry and poetry, but they cannot create geniuses in arithmetic. If you can do arithmetic, you can do it, and if you can't, you can't.

The specific method is that all provincial arithmetic examinations are conducted by each province, which is similar to a closed-door system such as the general examination. The arithmetic scores are drawn according to the provincial scores, and a median is taken as the threshold for passing the exam. The median arithmetic score of a provincial scholar represents the middle-ranking scholar. If he can't even reach this threshold, he doesn't need to be a candidate.

"How can the reform of the imperial examination system be so easy? I have approved this memorial, but I am afraid that there will be many mistakes when it is implemented, and it may even become a tool for some people to cheat. It is okay to take the arithmetic test, but the provincial examination and the college examination "Let me think about it for a moment." Zhu Yijun was a little hesitant about this memorial.

The whole set of methods proposed by the Ministry of Rites is actually to take the test of arithmetic and promote it to local rural examinations and college examinations.

In the capital, under Zhu Yijun's nose, the arithmetic exam was generally fair, but when he got there, it might be difficult.

And the most critical problem here is: studying is expensive and arithmetic is difficult.

Some students from poor backgrounds have never studied arithmetic, let alone students who have never studied arithmetic. If they pass the exam, they will be like a pheasant turning into a phoenix. At this time, it is not so difficult to study arithmetic.

A solid storehouse will reveal etiquette, and having enough food and clothing will reveal honor and disgrace. The same applies to arithmetic.

Zhu Yijun hesitated here. In order to promote arithmetic fairly, he ended up being even more unfair, and the gain outweighed the loss.

"Sometimes, the most difficult thing is not to go to the West to obtain the scriptures, but the most difficult thing is to set out." Zhu Yijun thought again and again, and it was Zhu who approved the memorial, not in full, but in part. , as for the academic examination for scholars, arithmetic is still not tested.

This is determined by the current situation of Ming Dynasty.

When spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, the Donghua Gate on the east side of the Ming Dynasty Palace is very lively. Today is the day when the exam results will be released. This time, the results of the two groups that have attracted much attention before the exam have also been revealed. Repeat reading Of the 401 students born, only one entered the list, while Empress Wu gave birth to 160 people, and 28 of them entered the list.

The repeat students farmed the land for the emperor in exchange for the opportunity to take the exam again, but the repeat students failed to create a miracle, because all the candidates who participated in the repeat exams had already failed the exam three times, and the performance of the students from the post-Wu Dynasty was particularly outstanding, and they became the generals in one fell swoop. The proportion of Jinshi born in China has increased to nearly 40%!

The proportion of Jinshi who came from military families in the Ming Dynasty is about 30%, and the outstanding performance of these twenty-eight martial arts students has increased this proportion. To a certain extent, this means that the civil and military affairs of the Ming Dynasty are once again approaching the level of Balance, but the meaning of this needs to be proven by time. The happiest thing now should be the good news!

Zhu Yijun stood on the cultural floor, holding a book of Jinshi records in his hand, feeling a little emotional. The first place in Huiyuan this time was a student of Empress Wu, and he was the best in arithmetic with perfect scores.

Zhu Yijun was very pleased that Empress Wu was becoming an extremely important force in the political arena of the Ming Dynasty. This was one of the results of the Wanli Reform.
