Chapter 197 Report to the Emperor Xi and save the head of Guizhou
The horns of Daning Guard and Zhangwu have become powerful. Tuman Khan still tried to attack several times, but found that the head and tail were ignored, and the head and tail were ignored. Gradually gave up the offensive, but once again sought mutual trade, not to crown the king, but only to trade. This court would definitely not agree. The Tuman Khan was pretending and demanding. In order to stop the bleeding, the Ming Dynasty even gave up his face. The name "Gongshi" was actually a yearly coin. , Tuman Khan still insists on talking about the glory of his ancestors and the golden family.
But the east of Liaoning became quiet, and the bandits were suppressed again in the extreme south. This time it was the civil unrest in Luopang Mountain. The Ming Dynasty sent officials three times to recruit people, but the trip failed once and the talks collapsed. When an official sent by the Ming Dynasty was beheaded in public, Ling Yunyi directly ordered 100,000 soldiers and invited Zhang Yuanxun back to Guangdong and Guangxi from Luzon, intending to solve the problem once and for all.
This time the Yao Rebellion is a silhouette of the Ming Dynasty's reform and return to the land. It is also the Yao Rebellion that has been raging for nearly a hundred years in the Ming Dynasty.
For example, during the Xianzong period of the Ming Dynasty, the famous eunuch Wang Zhi, who was very talented in military affairs, was captured by the Ming army during the Yao Rebellion in Datengxia. The Yao Rebellion has been raging since the Chenghua period. During the Jiajing period, the imperial court carried out multiple campaigns of suppression. During the Jiajing period, there were multiple campaigns in the fourth, tenth, and twelfth years.
This time, Ling Yunyi directly ordered a hundred thousand soldiers and horses to attack Luopang Mountain, and then established Sanluo to completely manage the local area as a county instead of the previous hereditary native officials.
The killing of the Ming Dynasty's recruitment envoy this time completely angered Ling Yunyi. The recruitment was repeated for more than a hundred years, and finally exhausted the last bit of patience of the Ming court.
In Luzon, the conflict with the Hong Mao Fan is also intensifying. Ming wants to force his opponent away, but the terrain and hydrology of Mindanao are not familiar to Ming. Attacking the island and seizing the city is really difficult in this era. It was too difficult. This battle was fought back and forth. It looked like a lively battle, but in fact, none of the Ming Dynasty's guest soldiers were dispatched. Instead, Lin Afeng and the original group of pirates were fighting against Hong Mao. Come and go.
The excitement is really lively, and the gains are really few.
Zhu Yijun is preparing to go to Beitucheng. This time is not the Spring and Autumn Parade, but a ceremony where the emperor exercises the ancestral method of military horses.
This time, not only do they want to reward the victorious Beijing camp, but they also need to inspect the military power, and also display new technologies and equipment. After this review of the army and horses, the army will be expanded again, from the previous 10,000 people to directly Thirty thousand people.
This is the result of the court discussion a month ago.
Zhang Juzheng attached great importance to His Majesty's first parade of military horses. All the etiquette systems were in accordance with the standards of the Spring and Autumn Parade. The reason why he attached so much importance was that this was also a staged display of the achievements of Zhang Juzheng's new policy, which enriched the country and strengthened the army.
In the 29th year of Jiajing, after I entered the Japanese army, there were 40,000 to 50,000 people in the capital camp of the Ming Dynasty. Half of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, and the other half were those who did not dare to fight. Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, drove the capital camp After leaving the city gate, the soldiers were in tears and did not dare to go forward. They went outside the city and returned to the capital. In the first year of Longqing, there were 90,000 people in the capital camp. The Tuman Khan broke out at Xifengkou and invaded. The capital camp did not dare to fight. It was just a show. This situation finally changed in the second year of Longqing, when Qi Jiguang and Tan Lun returned to Beijing one after another.
Qi Jiguang trained 100,000 troops and settled in Jizhen.
Invigorating the military and strengthening the army, in the words of Zhang Juzheng, means: sincerely cultivating the internal and external forces, which is a long-term strategy for governing and protecting the country.
Whether you are fighting against foreigners or internally, you must have strong troops at hand, otherwise who will listen to you?
The reason why Zhang Juzheng dared to pursue Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei for bribery and appeasement in the sixth year of Longqing was all because of Qi Jiguang's side.
Zhu Yijun was still in the Wenhua Hall, and the Chief of Ceremonies had already gone to Beitucheng to build an imperial palace. The strategizing palace, with a yellow curtain, was the main place where Zhu Yijun would parade the army in the future.
Tan Lun, the Assistant Manager of the Military Affairs of the Beijing Camp and the Minister of the Ministry of War, has gone with all the officials of the Ministry of War to lead the generals to clean up the inside and outside of the field. Of course, in order to prevent the madman from drawing a bow and stabbing the king to death, all the officials of the Ministry of War Together with the generals and generals of the Jingying camp, they have been constantly checking again and again.
Yesterday, Zhu Yijun also sent the high priest of the Ming Dynasty, Duke Dingguo Xu Wenbi, to the church to worship the god of banners [dào]. During military activities such as expeditions, battles, and triumphs, banners were often sacrificed. The emperor used the dragon banner. .
Zhu Yijun’s driver had just arrived at the Meridian Gate, and before he even walked out of the doorway, he saw an infantry camp of 3,000 people with bright flags outside the Meridian Gate. This infantry camp was led by General Li Rusong, wearing bright armor and carrying a large number of banners. Chen Jingqi's equipment is completely in a fighting posture.
Zhu Yijun had put on his iron armor and stood in front of his horse.
Qi Jiguang walked in from outside the door, bowed his head and said: "Qian Qian'an Bo Qi Jiguang, please your majesty to go to the Beijing camp to parade the military horses!"
Zhu Yijun took the dragon from Tishuai Zhao Mengyou Qi Dazhao said: "Come forward, General."
Qi Jiguang walked up to the emperor in a hurry. In the first year of Wanli, when the little emperor gave Qi Jiguang the emperor's sword, he had just reached Qi Jiguang's waist. The position has now reached the same level as Qi Jiguang's shoulders.
Zhu Yijun had just started practicing martial arts at that time, and he was still a chubby little boy. Now he is already tall and handsome, full of heroic spirit.
The emperor is no longer what he used to be, the capital camp is no longer what it used to be, and the Ming Dynasty is no longer what it used to be.
Tishuai Zhu Xixiao had an extravagant hope that he did not dare to have. He hoped that the Ming Dynasty would have an emperor who paid attention to military preparations. If the emperor's martial arts teacher Zhu Xixiao was still alive, he would be very happy.
Zhu Yijun handed the dragon flag to Qi Jiguang and said with a smile: "Qi Shuai will carry the flag for me in the future."
"I obey the decree!" Qi Jiguang picked up the dragon flag and strode out of the Meridian Gate.
Just as Zhu Yijun was about to get on his horse, Zhang Juzheng walked within three feet of the emperor, bowed his head and said, "I will help your majesty to mount the horse."
"My equestrian skills are already excellent, and I can mount the horse by myself. "Zhu Yijun said that as the top player in the youth group, he does not need anyone to support him.
"Please help your majesty mount your horse." Zhang Juzheng said very insistently.
Zhu Yijun looked at the ministers behind him and understood that this was actually a ceremony. The emperor was slowly growing up, and Zhang Juzheng also planned to slowly return to power. Helping the emperor get on the horse was to help the emperor's imperial hegemony. That’s a beautiful moral.
"Mr. Youlao." Zhu Yijun said very loudly. This was meant for the careerists in the DPRK.
Your grandpa Huang is now being protected by someone, including Qi Jiguang in military affairs and Zhang Juzheng in literature. What the hell are you trying to do to Grandpa Huang!
Other emperors had their palaces burned down, so they could only appeal to the emperor and reflect on their mistakes, but he didn’t have to, he could pursue whoever he wanted!
Zhu Yijun gave him a little help and climbed steadily onto the horse.
"The Emperor is traveling!" Feng Bao shook his fly whisk and shouted loudly, and pairs of pairs of small yellow gatekeepers spread the sound of the heavenly language outside the Meridian Gate.
The sound of drums is loud and the sound of trumpets is far-reaching.
The infantry battalion led by Li Rusong was named Hu Jia Jingjun. They were wearing armor and swords. They began to push the chariot towards Deshengmen step by step. Deshengmen Street is the military road. After leaving Desheng The gate is Beitucheng.
Like a stream of water, the imperial army set out, and then Qi Jiguang carried the dragon flag to clear the way for His Majesty. Behind Qi Jiguang was the high priest Xu Wenbi, carrying the emperor's sword.
The Dragon Banner is the only one in the Ming Dynasty. Except when the Mingbao Sect, as the Grand Master of Wala, also took the lead in attacking the Desheng Gate of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty had only one Dragon Flag.
Zhu Yijun was wearing a military uniform, without wearing a face shield, and drove his horse slowly out of the Meridian Gate. He was surrounded by the Han generals of the imperial guards led by Tishuai. He was the most powerful among the Han generals. In the inner layer are twenty sparring men in armor, including honor guards and eunuchs. The ones closest to Zhu Yijun are the Tishuai Zhao Mengyou and the red-helmet honor guard Luo Sigong. The ancestor of the palace, Feng Bao, is in front, and the second ancestor, Zhang Hong, is following behind the emperor. .
Feng Bao wants to lead the horse, and Zhang Hong wants to protect His Majesty. If Your Majesty falls, he will be the meat pad.
Both Feng Bao and Zhang Hong knew very well that the little emperor's equestrian skills were really good.
Zhu Yijun drove his horse forward, and the drums and drums sounded in unison. This was the military music of the expedition, solemn and solemn. Behind him was the team of civilian officials, except Tan Lun who was not there. Tan Lun had already gone ahead and went to the north. Tucheng arranges military and horse inspections and other matters.
At the end of the team, there is another 1,500 people who are responsible for the rear.
Zhu Yijun's guard of honor finally arrived at Beitucheng, and the drums and horns sounded again. The Ming Dynasty's capital camp stood in front of Beitucheng and on the city wall, with bright armor and flags fluttering.
Qi Jiguang raised the dragon flag in his hand.
“Your Majesty is mighty!”
“Your Majesty is mighty!”
“Your Majesty is mighty!”
……
More than ten thousand people They shouted in unison, their harmonies shaking the sky, soaring into the sky, and the whole capital was deafened. After the mountains shouted and the sea shouted, the artillery began to sound, and the rumbling sound of the cannon was like rolling thunder, resounding throughout the capital.
Zhu Yijun reined in his horse and shouted loudly: "The Ming army is mighty!"
There was another roar of mountains and seas.
At this time, Zhu Yijun was as high-spirited as Emperor Jiajing, who had just won a great victory in the Great Etiquette Controversy.
Zhu Yijun looked behind him. The officials of the Ming Dynasty had different expressions. Zhang Juzheng, Lu Tiaoyang, Wang Guoguang, Hai Rui and others all looked happy. They were inspired to see the Ming army. Naturally, They were happy, and some people, such as Wang Chonggu, Wan Shihe, Ge Shouli and others, had mixed expressions on their faces. They were actually thinking that in the 29th year of Jiajing, if there was such a strong army, I would be very brave. Khan did not dare to invade the capital.
Some courtiers looked worried, even a little frightened. If there was nothing wrong in their hearts, why should they be afraid?
Zhu Yijun looked towards Beitucheng, where Tan Lun was standing at the bridge head wearing armor.
As soon as the little emperor's face darkened, he knew that @ Tan Lun was a warrior in civilian clothes. Tan Lun, a small ceremonial guard who paraded military horses, had to wear armor, so he couldn't let Tan Lun be the governor of Beijing. When the battalion military affairs went to war, he was going to the governor's military affairs, and he would definitely fight in battle!
Zhu Yijun came to the imperial gate and dismounted.
The parade of military horses officially began, and Zhu Yijun began to warm up. He was really tired and sweaty after walking such a long distance in summer, so he took out his seventy-pound bow. , waiting for the parade of military horses to begin.
Everyone is waiting.
Qi Jiguang, Tan Lun, and Ma Fang began to fly homing pigeons with whistles. This was a sign of victory. Qi Jiguang had made comprehensive arrangements, regardless of whether the little emperor had lied in the letter or not. He didn't practice martial arts diligently, so the emperor couldn't lose face.
The person responsible for saving face for the little emperor is Li Rusong. He has been hiding in the crowd. If the emperor's arrow fails to hit, Li Rusong will quietly shoot again.
Qi Jiguang released the homing pigeon.
Zhu Yijun drew his bow and shot an arrow. After taking aim, he immediately released the bowstring. The arrow reflected the bright sunshine at noon, crossed an arc, and hit the homing pigeon.
Li Rusong was stunned. He was already preparing to make amends, but His Majesty didn't need him to make amends at all!
A smile appeared at the corner of Qi Jiguang's mouth, and this smile soon spread to the bright sunshine.
The little emperor really didn’t fool him. He was really training diligently. Diligence can make up for one’s shortcomings based on working hard. Any slack will continue to accumulate. This is generally true for martial arts, reading, and world affairs. , If you don’t advance, you will retreat.
Obviously, the little emperor's riding and archery skills have improved during the year since Qi Jiguang, the teacher, left the court.
Tan Lun and Ma Fang released the second and third homing pigeons. The little emperor set up his bow and shot arrows, shooting them down one by one. Seeing this, more than ten thousand sergeants in the Beijing camp involuntarily clenched the hook and sickle gun in their hands. , kept pausing, and shouted in unison: "Color! Color! Color!"
The commander quickly presented the three homing pigeons to the emperor. Zhu Yijun saw the marks on the arrows, which were left by him If the mark was missed and made up, others would not know it. Zhu Yijun must know it himself, but the three arrows were all temporary marks made by him, and there was only one wound on the pigeon.
"Sir, you teach well." Wan Shihe said with admiration to Zhang Juzheng.
Most of the born nobles are wastes in the palace. This has been proved countless times in history. In fact, the courtiers did not expect the emperor to have much future. The memorials that should be reviewed should be reviewed. .
But the emperor's performance exceeded everyone's expectations time and time again. When Wang Zhigao left the court, the emperor gave Wan Shihe a chance to escape, but Wan Shihe did not escape. Looking at this choice now, Wan Shihe has no regrets.
If the emperor is promising, the party struggle in the court will become more intense, and Wang Zhigao's choice cannot be said to be wrong.
Everyone has his own ambitions.
Zhu Yijun walked down the school field, came to the rifle target, and began to prepare for rifle shooting. At fifty paces, it was a walking target. Zhu Yijun couldn't penetrate Yang at a hundred paces, but if he could hit it at fifty paces, he was already a qualified soldier. Died.
He kept drawing the bow and shooting. After shooting five arrows, he switched his left hand to his right hand, opened the bow left and right, and shot five arrows again. The two commanders carried the target directly to the emperor and shouted loudly: "All ten arrows hit! All ten arrows hit!"
The commanders were very excited. After being inspected by the emperor, they began to display the rifle targets everywhere, causing bursts of cheers every time a team passed by.
Wang Chonggu stared at the target, and his heart was overturned. In the future, this gangster might assassinate whom. Wang Chonggu actually hesitated many times, whether to choose the emperor or the clan party. Now it seems, There is absolutely nothing wrong with choosing an emperor.
Da Sikou always thought that the young emperor's martial arts practice was just a boast, just a concave personality in the palace. He expressed his support for strengthening martial arts and strengthening the army. How could a born noble man endure the pain of practicing martial arts? .
Zhu Yijun untied his quiver, put away his bow, and came in front of two standing trees with his waist knife. Zhu Yijun held his breath and concentrated, and hit back with a T-shaped attack. This set of movements is called Trial Cut, and Zhu Yijun named it T-Back Kill based on the characteristics of the T-step and turning around and then slashing.
When northern infantry fights cavalry, it is a common standard action to kill the enemy by cutting off a horse's legs and decapitating its head.
With this action, this year, Zhu Yijun was able to chop down two standing trees.
The whole set of movements was smooth and smooth, and two standing trees were chopped to the ground. Zhu Yijun put away the knife and smiled. He achieved passing results in the victory, target shooting, and trial beheading. He has not yet reached his age, and his strength It's not enough to open a stronger bow.
He is now qualified to become a qualified soldier.
Luo Sigong came to the stage with a wooden sword. After greeting the emperor, the fight began. This was also the first scene where the civil and military courtiers, except Qi Jiguang, saw the emperor sparring.
Zhu Yijun's arm was tied with a yellow kerchief, and Luo Sigong was tied with a red kerchief. They were fighting against each other, with fierce moves and fierce fighting. The wooden knife was slashed on the iron armor. The sound was sonorous and powerful, showing how much strength was used!
Luo Sigong, not Sigong.
Luo Sigong is also growing up, and his strength is increasing. If he is not wearing armor and the wooden knife hits a vital part, he will definitely kill someone.
In the seventeen rounds, Zhu Yijun won ten times. The reason for wearing armor was to avoid getting hurt. The main thing was to demonstrate the little emperor's skills in close combat. Zhu Yijun also used his own ability to win the battle completely. win.
After the fight, both of them were exhausted. Zhu Yijun was so close that he could see Luo Sigong's legs shaking. He was about to lose his strength. Zhu Yijun was not much better. He kept breathing heavily, and his whole body Top and bottom, everything was soaked with sweat.
This is the first time to parade military horses, so Zhu Yijun wants to show the results of his martial arts practice before the parade begins.
The Ming Dynasty Jingying performed three routines on the school field, including fists, knives, and spears, and then the Ming Army's rifle target shooting in teams of ten. These drills are all very practical skills on the battlefield.
Firegun shooting was a training that Zhu Yijun did not practice, but was bound to be demonstrated in the Beijing camp.
"One gun, two twists, three charges, four horses, five hits, six hammers, seven arrows, eight lines of guns, nine trumpets, don't sound, single swing Sound the gong, light the fire and bang the cymbals, close the troops!" The soldiers in the Beijing camp sang and demonstrated how to shoot the firecrackers.
The Pingyi gun used by two people was also brought over. The Pingyi gun with four ounces of gunpowder was more accurate and hit a moving target. A dozen wild boars were released, Pingyi The gunshots continued to sound, and more than a dozen wild boars fell down one by one under the constant sound of gunshots.
After the firecrackers were fired, there was the shelling.
Twelve nine-pound artillery pieces were pulled onto the school field. The target of a hundred rifles was a steel-concrete pier. The twelve artillery fired four rounds of salvos, and the steel-concrete piers were hit one by one. pit.
The last two that were pulled out were the latest naval guns of the Ming Dynasty. They were heavy and suitable for use on ships and in city defense. They were also pulled out to the school yard, a 150-step target. All three hits were successful, and they hit the steel-concrete pier, making a muffled groan.
Although the one-foot-wide steel-concrete piers were smashed into holes one after another, they still stood there as solid as a rock.
Zhu Yijun put down the telescope. He had a basis for asking Wang Chonggu to cut corners, mainly in the buildings of the Ming Dynasty Palace. The tallest one was not as high as Huangji Palace. For a building of this height, Wang Chonggu’s design standards were really too high. .
Tan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of War, came out of the column and said loudly and loudly: "Your Majesty, the review is over!"
"Ming the gold to stop the drums." Zhu Yijun replied in a vibrating voice.
"His Majesty's decree! Ming Jin to stop drums!" Tan Lun turned around and shouted loudly.
Taichang Temple officials came out of their duties and shouted: "Play music!"
"The music was composed by Emperor Zhu Zaiyu, the chief musician of the Ming Dynasty, and the lyrics were written by Zhang Juzheng, Lu Tiaoyang and others. "The Song of Wucheng" began to sound.
Li Rusong raised his head, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp kept stopping the hooks and sickles in their hands, and sang in unison: "My emperor reviewed the military success, the simple military brigade, and the strong emperor's capital. The dragon flag shines on the Hubao camp, The Sixth Division's clouds and armors were broadcast, and the barbarians were shocked. They chanted for peace, and the world was clear. Yingtuan. The pioneer is Jian Yuluan. The light clouds support the green cover, and the beautiful sun represents the Zhugan. "
The music is well composed and the lyrics are also very good, but it lacks a bit of flavor. Son, that's a little too solemn.
Zhu Yijun asked Qi Jiguang to play the song, and called for the Red Scarf Military Song, "Clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger, fame and fortune come from dust and soil."
The Ming army knew this song, but it was a famous anti-song. According to the narrative system of the Ming Dynasty, the end of the Yuan Dynasty was out of line and the world was exhausted, which led to the people to rise up. The Red Turban Army Song has a strong sense of the times. In the background, the Ming army sang this song to destroy Hu Yuan’s capital and expel the Hu barbarians.
The meaning of this song is excellent. The only problem with it is that it is an anti-song and has the taboo of prophecy.
In the end, Qi Jiguang compromised and played "Triumph Song". This song also suited the occasion. The Ming Dynasty's capital camp returned triumphantly. The emperor could do whatever he wanted, but Qi Jiguang still had to worry about the impact.
"If we unite as one, the mountains can be shaken!" Qi Jiguang took the lead. The Taichang Temple musicians were really helpless. None of them knew this song.
“If we unite as one, the mountains can be shaken. But if we are loyal and righteous, we will bullfight in anger!”
“The Lord will kiss me like a parent. If you violate the military law, you will not be free! "
"The order is clear, and the reward and punishment are sent to you. Don't dare to stay later!"
"Report to the emperor, come down and save the head of Guizhou!"
"Kill all the Japanese! I'm a prisoner, I'm looking for a prince!"
Zhu Yijun knows this song. The main body of the military parade is the soldiers of the Beijing camp, not the emperor. Zhu Zaiyu and Zhang Juzheng made "Wuchengzhi" well. He returned to his hometown, but the main theme was still to promote the majesty of the emperor. He liked this song very much, especially the line about reporting to the emperor, rescuing the head of Guizhou, killing all the Japanese pirates (slaves), and finding a marquis.
This sentence is his favorite, it represents the mission of the Ming Dynasty army, to report to the emperor and to save the head of Guizhou.
This is not only the significance of Qi Jiguang's military training, but also a portrayal of Qi Jiguang's life.
Since ancient times, the army has been a tool and an ominous weapon in the hands of emperors to open up territories and scare the world. However, Qi Jiguang first advocated the need to rescue the head of Guizhou. The head of Guizhou is the civilian population; what the people and the army should do is to show their greatness. The lofty ideal is to stabilize the country.
This goal alone is enough for Zhu Yijun to cherish. The army can not only kill people, but also save people.
He sang a triumphant song together before announcing the end of the parade.
After that, the emperor ascended to the throne, and the civil and military officials of the retinue paid obeisance. The emperor issued a decree to reward wine and food, and each official thanked him. The audience was divided into two groups, the east and west, and they took their seats in order to prepare for the meal.
The emperor gave a grand banquet, and they wanted to drink nine wines together. When Zhu Yijun saw the strong liquor from the national cellar, he asked him to change it to a smaller cup, three wines.
Zhu Yijun was young and did not drink. He drank water. Before the meal, Zhu Yijun specifically checked Tan Lun's wine glass. According to the doctor's orders, Tan Lun could not drink.
As Zhu Yijun expected, Tan Lun’s drink was wine, not water.
Tan Lun is so young, but he is sitting at the same table with children.
After the three nobles in Wuying Tower, the soldiers also started to have dinner. The banquet was arranged according to two taels of silver per table. The five kilograms of meat and ten kilograms of potatoes he brought were gifts for the soldiers to take home. .
Before dinner started, Zhongguan suddenly walked out of Wuying Tower. Everyone's stomachs growled with hunger. The little emperor still had something to say.
All officers and soldiers performed a military salute to listen to His Majesty's instructions.
"Your Majesty has spoken: The soldiers have worked hard, and each of them will be rewarded with two silver coins according to the regulations. I appreciate this." Feng Bao knew that everyone was waiting to eat, so he did not put on a show and directly announced the emperor's decision: reward.
After the victory of Ningwei last year, the emperor has given extra rewards. Today, the emperor has gone from inspecting the army and horses every five days to riding the army and horses every day. This can be regarded as a gift, and each person is given two taels of silver.
So for the first course, each table of ten people has twenty imperial silver coins, and everyone has a share.
This extra reward comes from internal funds. Everyone is smiling. It’s a meritorious service. Your Majesty really rewards it. Is there such a beautiful thing? !
They are all soldiers selected from Jiubian. When we were in the place before, let alone merit rewards, the court could pay the soldiers and the soldiers could receive half pay. That was all thanks to gratitude. Now there are military pay, merit rewards, and additional gifts.
Zhu Yijun is a very realistic person. He believes that to cultivate military discipline, of course, it is necessary to strictly enforce military discipline regulations. He also believes that military discipline also needs money to maintain. Jingying has proven itself in Daning Guard. If you are not a free earner, you should have everything you should have, which will further increase the cost of disciplinary violations.
Zhu Yijun thought so and did the same, so the biggest expense in the palace was to reward the soldiers.
The civil and military officials in Wuying Tower each receive five taels of silver.
After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food are over.
Zhu Yijun looked at the memorial in front of him and said doubtfully: "Sir, it was agreed that there would be 30,000 people and a total of ten infantry camps. How did it become 120,000 people? This is forty ”
"They are infantry camp, chariot camp, cavalry camp and artillery camp." Zhang Juzheng corrected the little emperor's statement. There were not forty infantry camps, but ten regiment camps. Each regiment camp included infantry, chariot, cavalry and artillery camps. camp, a total of 120,000 people.
Zhang Juzheng felt that he could no longer advocate frugality. Since he had to spend money, he should expand the army. The total number of people in the Beijing camp increased from 30,000 to 120,000.
"I very much agree, but I'm afraid the court officials will nag me again." Zhu Yijun certainly agreed.
Tan Lun was sulking before he drank. When he heard what His Majesty said, he immediately said cheerfully: "If you object, just object here."
On the grounds of the Beijing camp. , Opposing the expansion of the army in the Beijing camp, the soldiers in the Beijing camp will not think anything of this spokesperson, but the spokesperson must have the courage.
Qi Jiguang held his forehead and asked who was the warrior.
"Your Majesty, we will select 30,000 troops this year. Before next autumn, we will expand the army to 120,000 troops and 10,000 troops in the capital camp. The number is too small. I will lead the troops to attack. Your Majesty has no troops to send. If there are more The evil man is burning down the palace, and I am really worried." As a die-hard imperialist, Qi Jiguang represented the Beijing camp and told the courtiers that the expansion of the Beijing camp was for His Majesty!
When you do bad things, consider how sharp the knife in your Majesty’s hand is!
"Your Majesty, the capital camp of 120,000 people is actually not as expensive as you think. From the Yongle to Chenghua years, except for the Tianshun period, the capital camp has always maintained a scale of more than 200,000 people. The Ming Dynasty still raised I can afford it." Wang Guoguang knew the little emperor's tendency to save money and told his majesty, your majesty, our Ming Dynasty is rich.
The food and salary alone for 120,000 people would cost 2.16 million silver per year.
During the spring parade in March of the ninth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng had been prospering the country and strengthening the army for ten years. There were 120,000 people in the Ming Dynasty’s capital camp. Everyone at that time said: The military appearance is rare in modern times. Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! !
