Chapter 134: Today I finally meet the Ming Lord
The breakthrough of Zi Yihou is nothing more than a big timely rain for the current Ming court, which adds a little weight to the court.
It is much more influential than Ye Gucheng joining Jinyiwei.
After all, Ye Gucheng is not a great master yet.
Coupled with that letter, it also implies that Zhu Houzhao and the Ming Dynasty are following the general trend, which makes more thoughtful people dare not act rashly.
Subsequently, an imperial edict arrived in Jin.
According to Ziyihou's past contributions to the Ming Dynasty, he was promoted to the title of General of the Auxiliary State.
This imperial edict had actually been drafted a long time ago. It was originally on the way to the Jin Dynasty. It happened that the Ziyi Hou broke through and caught up with it.
Prince, county king, general of Zhenguo, general of auxiliary country, general of Fengguo, lieutenant of Zhenguo, lieutenant of auxiliary state and lieutenant of Fengguo.
These are the eight title levels of the Ming Dynasty clan, from the prince's super rank, to the county prince's first rank, and finally to the Fengguo lieutenant's sixth rank.
The general of the auxiliary country may seem inconspicuous, but it is equivalent to the second rank, which is already very high, and there is corresponding money.
In the past few days, Zhu Houzhao also completed the changes in various aspects of the clan title.
First, the prince's eldest son inherited the title and was demoted to the title of county king, while the remaining sons were all generals.
The eldest son of the county king inherited the title and became the general of the country, and the other sons were the generals of the auxiliary country.
And so on, until he becomes a commoner without a title.
The second is that the annual salary for the clan title is still not enfeoffed. The annual salary is received directly from the court, and the level is the same as that of the court officials.
In this regard, except for the super-grade prince, Zhu Houzhao did not treat the other seven levels of titles badly.
On the contrary, according to the current salary of court officials, they were given preferential treatment.
Getting the money directly is much better than the food they got before.
In addition, Zhu Houzhao, the super-grade prince, decreed that the annual salary would be three thousand taels of silver, which was more than twice that of the first-grade prince.
Compared with the original Wan Shi, this is not much different.
The above two points are not only the same for male clans, but also for female clans.
Relatively speaking, the grade, treatment, status, and number of female clan members are much different, making them easier to deal with.
There are also other aspects that are relatively complete, including the Zongren Mansion.
Zhu Houzhao had high hopes for the Zongren Mansion.
Because he felt that so many people in Lao Zhu's family must not be allowed to eat for free. They have such good conditions, and they must be allowed to work hard and make contributions to the Ming Dynasty.
How to do this, Zongren Mansion is the best choice.
Otherwise he would not have left Uncle Thirteen idle for so long.
Of course, the top priority of the clan mansion now is to deal with the bad debts of all the kings and clan members, and then talk about other things.
After the third good news, the fourth good news followed.
Li Jing's family and a group of talents from the Song Dynasty will soon arrive in the capital.
On the fourth day of August, Li Jing and his family arrived in the capital first.
Zhu Houzhao immediately met in person this talent that many people said was good.
At first glance, he felt that this person was very stable.
At the second glance, Zhu Houzhao's heart moved. This man gave him a feeling, like a sword hidden in a sheath.
There was no reason, it was just how he felt.
Then he was overjoyed.
This man must be a great talent.
"Li Jing, what are you good at?" Zhu Houzhao asked directly, looking happy and a little expectant.
Li Jing frowned secretly.
He was very happy and his behavior was quite frivolous, which made him somewhat unlike the wise kings with great talents and great strategies in the past and present.
Only the domineering and sharp edge is consistent with what he heard.
But after all, I am still a little too young and not stable enough.
I thought to myself, but of course I didn’t dare to show it on the surface, and said respectfully: "Report to Your Majesty, what the common people have learned and mastered in their lives is more important than commanding and commanding troops."
"Then Are you good at training soldiers? Do you have the confidence to bring me a tiger and wolf army?" Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes and asked more expectantly.
Li Jing felt hot in his heart, and he forced himself to stay calm and said calmly: "The common people have confidence."
"Okay." Zhu Houzhao clapped his hands and said happily: "You go to Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry for two months first.< br>
Two months later, I will give you two hundred dragon knights, and you will be in the capital, recruit new troops for me, and bring out a 20,000-strong army of iron-blooded tigers and wolves.
How about it. ?”
Li Jing’s eyes, which had always been slightly lowered, suddenly flashed violently.
His hands, which had always been extremely steady, were trembling slightly.
Looking up at the person in front of me, there was fiery excitement in his eyes, with a dazzling edge flashing faintly.
True is my enlightened master!
Knelt down on both knees and said firmly: "The common people will definitely live up to His Majesty's high expectations."
"Get up, I have abolished all kneeling rituals for the people of the Ming Dynasty. If you are confident, just Okay, I believe you can do it." Zhu Houzhao raised his hand and said with a smile.
Immediately, his expression became more serious: "But you must look good in Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry. There are some rules that you have to bring to the new army, you know?"
"Yes, common people understand. "Li Jing stood up and responded solemnly.
"Well, I won't grant you the official position for now. We will wait until you come out of Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry." Zhu Houzhao said with satisfaction.
"Yes, Your Majesty is so kind to you. The common people will be shattered to pieces and swear allegiance to the death." Li Jing said solemnly. "Hahaha, just do it well." Zhu Houzhao smiled happily.
After saying a few more words, Li Jing returned to the mansion that had been prepared for their family.
His brother was also waiting at his home, full of expectations.
"Second brother, how are you?" The eldest brother, Li Duan, asked calmly.
Others’ faces were filled with impatient expectations and worries.
Abandoning everything in the past, the whole family came to Ming Dynasty to build a future. They had no choice but to do this.
"Your Majesty will first let me stay at Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry for two months." Li Jing said calmly.
Li Duan and others all frowned, that's it, nothing more?
Li Jing sighed in his heart. After all, his whole family came to Daming with him.
Although he didn't want to say it, he simply said: "In two months, I should be allowed to command an army."
Li Duan and others breathed a sigh of relief and commanded an army. Although the size of this army is not yet known, Li Jing should be paid more attention to.
After all, Li Jing has not yet reached the innate realm. Letting him command an army is a kind of training, giving him a chance to break through to the innate realm as soon as possible.
"Okay, second brother, with your ability, as long as you are given a chance, you will definitely be as good as anyone." Li Duan said with a relieved smile.
Several other people also nodded.
Li Jing remained calm and did not speak. Commanding an army is completely different from recruiting and bringing out a new army.
The former is general attention, and the latter is a confidant among confidants, which is extremely valued and cultivated.
But he was not prepared to say more before things were implemented.
That sentence just now was also said just to reassure the family.
Next, Li Jing told Li Duan and others that they could choose to go to the military cabinet or the cabinet tomorrow, and someone would conduct an assessment on them and appoint them to positions.
Li Duan and others were even more happy and looking forward to it.
Especially Li Duan, he was dismissed from his post, and now he finally has a chance to stand up.
Until night, when the couple were alone, Zhang Hongfu looked at Li Jing and said with a smile: "Seeing that you are so happy and impatient, you should not just be allowed to command an army, right?"
"For my husband?" Do you look very happy and impatient?" Li Jing was slightly stunned, but did not refute, just smiled.
"What do you think?" Zhang Hong rolled her eyes at Li Jing. After more than ten years together, could she still see Li Jing's emotions?
"Haha." Li Jing laughed a few times, but still didn't mean to tell the truth.
Just silent for a moment, he said solemnly: "I, Li Jing, have been wandering for half my life, doing nothing and accomplishing nothing.
Today, I finally meet the Ming Lord. ”
In the calm eyes, it seemed to light up at this moment, and a sword was unsheathed, extremely sharp.
Zhang Hongfu looked at her husband infatuatedly. More than ten years later, She saw the young man from the past again.
With a gentle smile, she knew her husband well and didn't ask any more questions.
The next day, Li Jing didn't even bother to settle down at home, so she entered. Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry Camp
Soon, a slight shock arose in his heart.
Not to mention Li Jing's experience and feelings in Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry, the story that Zhu Houzhao personally sent a powerful master to the Sui Kingdom to pick up Li Jing's family to the Ming Dynasty began to spread.
This time it was mainly spread in countries such as Sui and Song.
The impact will take time to ferment.
August 6th.
A group of generals sent by the Song Dynasty also arrived in the capital.
Zhu Houzhao also met them in person. There were thirty-six people in total, about ten more than he asked for.
This made him like Zhao Ji a little more.
Although this man is timid and cowardly, he is still a good person.
You are respectful to me.
Well, I can order more next time.
Thinking in his heart, Zhu Houzhao looked at these generals with satisfaction.
None of them are innate, but they are not unexpected.
Every innate person will be valued no matter which country he is in, especially those in the military.
Because under normal circumstances, only by reaching the innate realm can one sense the power of heaven and earth and use the power of heaven and earth controlled by the army.
In other words, if you want to become a truly qualified general, you must have an innate state.
So the innate realm in the military is lacking in every country, especially the Ming Dynasty, which has been at peace for a long time, and the Song Dynasty, which is seriously suppressing military force. It is extremely scarce.
This is why Li Duan and others believe that the Ming Emperor valued and trained Li Jing when he asked him to command an army.
But the Song State was not really stupid and sent all its innate realm to the Ming Dynasty.
However, more than a dozen of these thirty-six people have reached the peak of the acquired world.
The worst ones have reached the level of the day after tomorrow.
They are members of the military. In an environment such as the Song Dynasty where culture was emphasized over military affairs, being able to reach this level is enough to prove that they are talents.
If there are enough training and opportunities in the future, the chance of breaking through the innate realm is quite high.
Exactly, Zhu Houzhao believed that the training and opportunities that Ming Dynasty would give them in the future would definitely be enough.
Perhaps the Ming Dynasty will have thirty-six more innates in the army due to this in the future.
