Chapter 146 145 Zhang Jing was taken away
Wei Guangde naturally just thought about it for himself and would not write it in the policy statement.
That will be done after he has come to power and the court has implemented this policy.
It would be really difficult for me to be humble and humble. I might not even be able to see the minister.
As for selecting generals and training troops, Wei Guangde was born in a military household, so he was relatively clear about the issues at the garrison. Although he could not fully understand them, he was aware of the problems that had been exposed.
In the final analysis, the soldiers at the bottom still received too little money.
So far, the only thing Wei Guangde knows is that if a guard soldier dies in battle, no one will be greedy for money to be burned and buried, because that is robbing the dead person's money, which is still very taboo in traditional thinking.
In his opinion, as long as military pay can be guaranteed, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers can be guaranteed.
When selecting generals, it is natural to recommend military attaches who have been trained in the wars in border towns to serve as soldiers, while for soldiers, elites are selected from the guards and brave men are recruited from the people.
He felt that relying solely on guard troops to suppress Japanese invaders was ineffective, and that recruiting troops should be used to suppress Japanese invaders.
These days, recruitment has actually been made public. The Ming Dynasty fought against the Mongolian Tatars in the north. Most of the main soldiers were recruited soldiers, that is, battalion soldiers. Guard soldiers were rarely sent to fight. The main task of the guard soldiers was to defend the city. Lord.
As for how to practice, it depends on the military attache's fighting method. Wei Guangde didn't know how to practice clearly.
These days, every family of military commanders has their own inheritance. How to fight and how to train troops has a set of secrets that are not passed down.
Of course Wei Guangde won't worry about this, as long as he can win if he gives him money.
Wei Guangde is still a little complacent about his plan to quell the Japanese.
He would not naively think that the guard's combat effectiveness was poor because the generals were useless and the soldiers were greedy for life and afraid of death. He could defeat the Japanese pirates just by shouting slogans to inspire fighting spirit.
However, Wei Guangde is also worried that if his fellow examiner is a pedantic scholar, he may be in trouble.
Because of these things, many of them will not be recognized by these pedantic readers.
In their consciousness, it is correct to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, and everything else is just trivial matters. After all, Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism both shouted the slogan "Starving to death is a small matter, and a breach of integrity is a big deal."
Fortunately, Wei Guangde’s worries did not come true.
At this time, in a room in the Hengjian Hall of Nanchang Gongyuan, a fellow examiner had just turned over Wei Guangde's paper.
Having taken a quick look at the articles on the paper, I found that a few of the articles were quite average. If placed in this pile of papers, they could only be considered to be of average level, not even close to the top. They were a bit on the lower side.
Shaking his head gently, the heat is not enough, and he still needs to continue studying.
This is the judgment given by the examiner after reading the beginning and end of Wei Guangde's article. As expected, another candidate failed.
It's just that it's different from usual. In the past, the paper was immediately rejected by the examiner, and it was definitely not on the list.
Why is this happening?
It’s actually very simple, it’s due to interests.
Recommend the test papers yourself, and you have to go through two tests: the chief examiner and the deputy chief examiner. It’s okay if you succeed, but if you don’t, it’s a waste of places.
Why should you choose a good article? Isn’t it just to increase the chance of winning?
As for why I recommend more papers with a higher chance of success, it is because I am this candidate’s tutor, and I will not lack the gift of thanks to the tutor.
In order to increase the number of test papers that I get, if I get a lot of junk papers, I am afraid that the examiner will simply not read the papers that I recommended in a few seconds.
The eight-part essay was not very good, but the examiner did not throw the paper aside because of this. Instead, he flipped through several pages, skipped the second exam question paper, and looked directly at the final policy statement.
The whole movement was like flowing water, and I had repeated it countless times.
"The Emperor Taizu and Emperor Gao were all over the world, and there were no servants outside the vast sea. But before Japan arrived, he sent envoys to tell him."
It's a bit interesting, and many of the things I saw before The papers are different. Most of the candidates' papers begin with a denunciation of the cruelty and cruelty of the Japanese pirates, and then send troops from heaven to correct discipline. Unknowingly, the examiner looked at Wei Guangde and Ping Woce again, then closed his eyes and pondered.
Japanese pirates and Japanese countries are ambitious and courageous.
The surrounding countries all surrendered, but this small Japanese country dared to challenge the great power of Ming Dynasty.
The king of Japan really deserves to die.
Although Wei Guangde knows that Japan is the so-called emperor, most people in the Ming Dynasty and the public do not know it at this time, and he will not point it out. Does it make sense?
People ask, how do you know?
It’s too difficult to explain, so Wei Guangde only made do with what he saw from books and newspapers.
As for what follows, selecting generals and training troops is actually a cliché. This is what was said in past wars.
Only for the proposal to levy Japanese-suppression taxes in the Japanese-rebellion areas and ensure that the salaries and silver rewards of the Japanese-suppressing officers and soldiers are issued in a timely manner, the examiner was a little unable to get it.
The military system of the guard station is corrupt and cannot be fought. They actually know it well in their hearts, but knowing it doesn’t mean they want to say it out loud.
The good thing about this article is that it only proposes to let the garrison soldiers defend the city and recruit new battalion soldiers to suppress the Japanese.
The camp soldiers are expensive. They are not as easy to manage as the guardsmen.
If the military pay is not paid in time, I can give you the pick at any time.
But for fighting, camp soldiers are indeed much more useful than guard soldiers.
What actually made the examiner a little unsure about this article was the tax collection proposal, which was too involved.
However, this can be said to be meaningful, much better than those rhetorical articles. In the policy papers I saw before, they all talked about mobilizing heavy troops from various places for encirclement and suppression. Most of them did not mention the matter of spending money on war. It seems that the imperial court has too much money to use up.
Opening his eyes again, the examiner put Wei Guangde's paper aside, preparing to send it to the examiner later, so that he could make a decision.
The eight-legged essay is average, but the policy argument is a bit outstanding.
While the examiners were reading the test papers of the candidates, Wei Guangde and a large group of classmates had already gone to a famous brothel in Nanchang City to eat and drink.
After so many days of suffering in the Gongyuan, it is natural to enjoy yourself at this time and make up for the sins you have suffered.
"Do you know? I just heard the news today that Mr. Zhang Jing was arrested by the imperial guards."
Zeng Yuanshu, who lives in Nanchang, put down his wine glass and said to everyone.
A seemingly ordinary sentence instantly shocked several tables of classmates around him.
These people all know that not long ago, the South Zhili side had just won a great victory on the battlefield against the Japanese. The person who delivered the news was still sitting there. Could it be that he was spreading false news? A great defeat of the army is called a great victory?
In an instant, countless pairs of eyes shifted from Zeng Yuanshu to Wei Guangde, which made Wei Guangde feel depressed for a while.
"Why are you staring at me?"
Wei Guangde couldn't help it. He is young and has a bad temper. Unlike many people in the guard, he is cautious in what he says and does in front of literati.
"What is the crime? Don't tell me half of it. Just tell me everything you know. We will all read it carefully."
Wei Guangde curled his lips and said: "It's weird. Just after we won the battle, we were killed. Take it.”
