Chapter 150 Duke Yan Sheng enters the capital
“Well, also, the Military Justice Department is a bit serious and is not suitable for contact with lower-level soldiers. Its chief is called the Instructor.
Instructor, this title is the same. It sounds friendly." This title came to Zhu Houzhao's mind and he said it immediately.
"Instructor~!" Wang Shouren muttered and nodded: "Your Majesty has a very good idea. The title of Instructor is indeed very kind and dignified.
Let's use the title of battalion-level Instructor. , regiment-level instructors, guard-level instructors, and military-level instructors control military law departments at all levels
Further up is the Ministry of Justice. "
"Let's change the Ministry of Justice to the Ministry of Military Justice and unify it. "Zhu Houzhao said directly.
Wang Shouren nodded and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the next step is to re-determine the grades of officers at all levels.
From low-level soldiers to military-level commanders, from seven levels of command to six levels of command, the corresponding grades should also be changed. "
"The military commander will be promoted to the second rank. This remains unchanged, and the deputy commander will be promoted to the third rank.
The director of the Fourth Department is of the third rank, but unlike the Military Law Department, the military-level instructor is also of the third rank. "
"For the first-level guard, the commander of the guard is from the third or fourth rank, the deputy commander and the guard-level instructor are from the fourth rank or from the fourth rank, and the other three division chiefs are from the fourth rank or the fifth rank. It all gives them space to make meritorious deeds. How about analogizing this? "Zhu Houzhao said.
"In this case, the regiment commander will be promoted to the fifth rank or from the fifth rank, the regiment deputy commander and the regiment-level instructor will be promoted from the fifth rank or the sixth rank, and the remaining two divisions will be promoted to the sixth rank or from the sixth rank. .
The battalion will be from the sixth or seventh grade, the battalion level instructor will be from the seventh or seventh grade, and the logistics department will be from the seventh or eighth grade.
The general flag commander and deputy chief flag commander are on the eighth rank, the eighth rank, and the ninth rank, and the squad leader is on the ninth rank. "Wang Shouren thought clearly.
"Well, that's generally the case. Lao Wang, please add more details." Zhu Houzhao said.
"I understand." Wang Shouren agreed. These are just the corresponding grades of chief officials. The grades below each chief officer need to be determined, which is not difficult.
"By the way, I want Gu Chaoxi to take charge of the Military Academy. Can he come back now?" Zhu Houzhao asked.
It has been almost a year since Gu Chaoxi went to Jin to help Wang Shouren.
In teaching students how to be an instructor, I am afraid that only Lao Wang can compare with Gu Chaoxi.
"Once the military structure is officially determined, Gu Shilang can return in one month." Wang Shouren said thoughtfully.
"Okay." Zhu Houzhao nodded, and suddenly smiled and said: "Old Wang, you are back, just in time to meet Li Jing, and tell him about the new military system.
Tomorrow, I will write a memorial to the new army and officially confirm it."
"Yes, I am very curious about this Li Jing who your Majesty values so much," Wang Shouren said with a sincere smile.
"He will definitely not let you down." Zhu Houzhao immediately said with great interest.
Wang Shouren listened with a smile, and became more curious and valued about Li Jing.
With so many people in the Ming army, including Wu Yunzhao from the Sui Kingdom, Li Jing is the most valued military talent by His Majesty, even more so than Gu Xichao.
This cannot be said now. The role of the Military Law Department is so huge that it is inevitable to upgrade the level in the future.
Gu Xichao is a person who is only loyal to His Majesty and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
He is indeed a very suitable candidate to take charge of the Military Law Department.
The future...
After talking for a while, Zhu Houzhao took Wang Shouren to have a fight outside the capital.
About two hundred miles outside the capital.
The ground shook, the sky changed, and the power of heaven and earth encountered great chaos, and it took a long time to calm down.
“Hahaha, Old Wang, your will is really getting stronger and stronger. I can’t even take away your power of heaven and earth.
But if you don't practice martial arts, your strength depends entirely on mastering the power of heaven and earth, so your combat power is not very good. "Zhu Houzhao laughed a few times and said happily.
Martial arts is based on oneself, and the power of heaven and earth is an auxiliary.
Lao Wang's Confucianism and Taoism are all based on the understanding of heaven and earth.
"Your Majesty, I am a scholar and I don't know how to fight. "Wang Shouren shook his head with a smile.
"It seems so. Zhu Houzhao asked again expectantly: "Old Wang, how are your Confucianism and Taoism integrating with the power of the military?" ”
"It should be possible to control an army of 150,000, but the five armies have just been established and have not yet been fully formed, so we have not been able to give it a try." Wang Shouren said truthfully.
"Hahahaha, 150,000 troops, okay.
Old Wang, hurry up and train all these five armies. Then we will directly push everything." Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed. road.
"Yes, I will do it as soon as possible." Wang Shouren responded.
Zheng Gong, who was silent on the side, couldn't help but take another look at Wang Shouren.
An elite army of 150,000 troops!
The realm of heaven and man must also give in.
And with Wang Shouren's caution, can he only control an army of 150,000?
Or I don’t have more troops under my command, and I haven’t tried more, so I won’t say anything?
It has been almost eight or nine years since Duke Zheng saw Wang Shouren, and he prefers the latter.
Back in the capital, Wang Shouren met with Li Jing, and the two chatted all night long.
Li Jing was in high spirits and seemed to have gained a lot.
Wang Shouren looked surprised. When he saw Zhu Houzhao and handed over the memorial of the new military system, he said firmly: "Your Majesty has a keen eye for talents. Li Jing is a genius in the world. He will definitely be able to attack the Ming Dynasty in the future." Destroy the enemy country."
"Hahaha, right, I know, I will definitely not misjudge the person." Zhu Houzhao laughed proudly.
Without wasting time, Zhu Houzhao issued imperial edicts one after another.
The new military system was completely determined, and the Tenth Army, the Eleventh Army, the Twelfth Army, the Thirteenth Army, the Fourteenth Army, and the First Army of the Capital were all established in accordance with the new military system.
At the same time, the military imperial examination was ordered to be held on April 10 this year, and 1,500 people were selected.
Anyone between the ages of eighteen and thirty who can read and write can take the exam.
After passing the exam, he will be uniformly trained to become a civilian in the military and will never become a political official.
The content of the exam is also very simple, focusing on military discipline and law of the Ming Dynasty. There is also the Ministry of Justice under the Military Court, which was renamed the Military Justice Department.
After these three imperial edicts, the first and third ones are nothing.
The second imperial edict once again caused an uproar.
When was the military imperial examination held?
There is no restriction on fame, only age restriction.
This is difficult to understand and unacceptable to many civil servants.
Because this means that many scholars may rise to the top in one step and become court officials without having to obtain fame through various examinations.
Even if they are civilian officials in the military, they are genuine officials.
This makes their years of hard study seem in vain.
But no matter what they think, no one can stop it.
The scholars who were already gathering in the capital to prepare for the imperial examination had more complicated emotions.
I feel sad that others may reach the sky in one step, but I am also happy that I have an extra way out.
If you fail the literary examination, you can also try the military imperial examination.
Amid all kinds of discussions, Wang Shouren and Li Jing, who returned to Jin, completely ignored the outside voices and focused on establishing the new army.
Li Jing, who had completed three months of training for new recruits, started recruiting again half a month ago. This time he recruited 20,000 people, which was completed in just a few days.
Then continue the intense military training.
Zhu Houzhao thought of something from the new military civilian system.
On this day, he called people from the cabinet, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Rites.
“In the future, civil servants in the military can only be promoted vertically to higher-level departments, because they do not know how to fight.
I just thought of something, if those civil servants who are good at judiciary are promoted to the Ministry of Household Affairs , or a department like the Ministry of Industry, can he do it?
That is definitely something that cannot be done well. Like other officials, they each have their own strengths.
So I think that in the future, when officials are promoted, they have to be promoted in the fields they are good at. What do you think? "Zhu Houzhao said with some pride.
Everyone listened thoughtfully.
"Your Majesty, this will also be taken into consideration in the assessment of the personnel department and the promotion and transfer of officials. "Ma Wensheng nodded.
"Consideration is not enough, we need to be more clear.
In addition, the selection and training of officials should also be based on this aspect.
For example, in the imperial examination, this year's examination will focus on current affairs, and it will be held again next year to meet the needs of the six departments.
Specially select the right talents, what do you think? "Zhu Houzhao said proudly.
He felt that this was good for the imperial examination and the imperial court.
"Your Majesty, this change is too big. I'm afraid the students will not be able to accept it. . "Li Dongyang said with a headache.
Your Majesty is going through trouble again.
"What is unacceptable? How can my Ming students be so fragile?
Also, the provincial examination must also be changed.
I have decided that from the beginning of the provincial examination, Divided into several subjects, select more professional talents.
Of course, it is better to be all-around. You can take more subjects.
Please discuss the specific situation and report it to me when the time comes. "Zhu Houzhao said without any doubt.
Is this going to allow all schools of thought to flourish again?
All the ministers couldn't help but murmur in their hearts, except for a few people, they all resisted.
< br>But in silence, no one objected.
They retreated to discuss, and Zhu Houzhao continued to visit various departments in a good mood.
When various departments became increasingly busy, on the fourth day of February, the two father and son of the Kong family finally entered the capital.
This journey was only a thousand miles, and it took them more than twenty days.
Not only was Kong Hongxu in poor health, but also because they had begun to contact the senior officials in the capital before coming to the capital.
These also take time.
At this time, these senior officials have been contacted, and it is natural for them to enter the capital.
As for spending so much time on the investigation by factory guards in their hometown, they didn't care at all.
No matter how vicious the factory guards are, how can they dare to tear into their saint's home?
After entering the capital, Kong and his son did not contact anyone else and went directly to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites to report.
The news soon spread among civil servants and more and more scholars in the capital.
Shenggong Yan has come to Beijing!
As the imperial examination was approaching, many scholars felt excited.
It seems that there is an invisible force that makes these three words Yan Shenggong have a huge influence.
There are voices everywhere talking about Duke Yan and the saints.
Zhu Houzhao also received reports from the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites immediately.
But of course he already knew the news about the Kong family and his son coming to Beijing.
He is also aware of what he is doing on the surface but is secretly operating in the capital.
This made him not have a good impression of the father and son.
