The chief officials of the two major general districts of Jilin and Heilongjiang changed their positions.螞
For the emperor, it is very important to choose the right person to take office.
Maintaining the status quo and developing the country go hand in hand, and the place must be governed as well.
If Liaodong is positioned as a granary, then Heilongjiang and Jilin are gateways. They are not required to pay much taxes. As long as they are peaceful and safe, they can be self-sufficient.
The candidates are naturally selected from among the nobles.
Mobei, Jilin, and Heilongjiang, Zhu Yixi plans to use these three places as places where nobles can gain experience and cultivate talents.
Not to mention checking and balancing civil servants, it is enough as long as it can play a certain role in safeguarding imperial power.
Of course, after Zhu Yixi took the throne, he was very obsessed with power, so the cabinet almost became assistants and executors.螞
But it can be predicted that after a few generations, the imperial power will inevitably weaken, and the civil servants will definitely rise and gain the upper hand.
After all, the civil servants were all passed through hard work, and they were all talented people. How could the emperor deal with them on his own?
So, let everything go!
The cabinet system is already the pinnacle of monarchical centralization, and the Military Aircraft Department is simply not suitable.
As for constitutional monarchy?
Stop talking nonsense, the emperor who loses his power is worse than a dog!
Unless there is a change of dynasty, or someone rebels.螞
The nobles did not know what the emperor was thinking. They had strong envy for the return of Xin Wencheng and Wang Shiguo.
Good guy, he became a nouveau riche directly.
You have made at least 70,000 to 80,000 yuan in ten years. How rich is this?
For a time, the nobles felt that the jobs in the Beijing camp were no longer good, and the positions in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion were also not good. The Northeast was too good.
Duke Jing's Mansion.
Gao Yigong sat calmly in the courtyard. The bamboo lounge chair was carved with beautiful patterns. The movement of it made his whole body feel relaxed.
And beside him was Zezhou Hou Baiwang.螞
As a general of the Chuang army who stayed in Huguang, he surrendered when the emperor captured Hubei, and then followed him in the southern and northern campaigns. He had made considerable achievements, so he was named a marquis.
Although not as good as the Duke, he was already satisfied.
With his status as a thief, being able to capture a marquis in the new dynasty was already a sign of smoke rising from the ancestral grave.
The cheeks are swollen and fleshy, the bridge of the nose is slightly straight, and the originally huge eyes have been squeezed by the fat and become squinty eyes.
Obviously, after years of pampering, this former warrior has become a wealthy and idle man.
At the age of sixty, one looks extremely rich, like Maitreya Buddha.
"My lord, have you heard about this matter in Jilin and Heilongjiang?"
After brewing for a long time, Bai Wang said.
"I heard about it." Gao Yigong said in an extremely lazy voice without raising his eyelids, "I made a lot of money, and the emperor turned a blind eye. Many people are yearning for it."
"Isn't that right!" Bai Wang said with salivation: "It's not considered corruption. You can make a fortune just by collecting anything."
"What, do you want to go to the Northeast too? Let me tell you in advance, the winter there can freeze people's ears off, so you have to think twice."
"Besides, Your Majesty is very concerned about Northeastern affairs. If you are found to have neglected your duties, your title will probably be lowered a few levels!"
Gao Yigong said casually, but it made Bai Wang's heart tense, and his face was full of hesitation.
"Dad——" Suddenly a soft call came from the distance.螞
Gao Yigong's face immediately lit up with joy: "What's wrong, He'er."
At this time, a sixteen-year-old boy, wearing a loose military robe, with his hair tied up, and his face, although immature, was full of youth and nobility.
"The young master is back." Bai Wang turned his head with an amiable smile on his face.
Legend has it that this only son was the son of a concubine brought back by Gao Yigong from the Western Regions, but Bai Wang was not an ordinary person, and he vaguely knew that this was Gao Guiying's son.
In other words, he is Gao Yigong's nephew.
At the same time, he also has a more prominent identity-the illegitimate son of the Ming Emperor.
Under such circumstances, who dares to be disrespectful?螞
Although it was a bit outrageous, Bai Wang believed it 70-80%.
After all, Gao Guiying was captured, but the emperor was watching over him alone. Who knew if there was going to be a bare-chested brawl?
Therefore, Bai Wang hurriedly stood up, not to mention how close he was to him.
"Uncle Bai——" Gao He saluted quickly, very politely.
"Where are you going?" Gao Yigong looked at his son and asked with a smile.
"We went to watch wrestling." Gao He said respectfully, "Today, two Mongolians are here to challenge Huang Jinbiao, the number one wrestler in the capital. Thousands of people are watching. Not to mention how lively it is."
When he said this, he said with excitement: "The handicap has exceeded 50,000 yuan. I don't know how many people have placed bets!"
"Nonsense, you didn't go gambling, did you?"
Gao Yigong frowned and scolded directly.
"My son doesn't dare." Gao He quickly shook his head.
"That's good." Gao Yigong nodded: "June is the martial arts competition, you have to compete well and try to get a good ranking."
"My son knows." Gao He nodded seriously.
After he left, Gao Yigong returned to his normal state.
Bai Wang envied and said: "Your young master was selected as a martial arts scholar when he was only sixteen years old. He is also considered to be the best among the nobles. It seems that the younger generation must be led by the young master."
"This is nothing." Gao Yigong sighed: "These young people have never suffered any hardships. They are born with rich clothes and fine food. I don't know how many noble children have become dandies."
"I don't want him to be outstanding, I just want him not to lose the reputation of our Gao family."
Bai Wang naturally agreed: "Who says it's not the case? My sons only know how to play around. Fortunately, they have a title, otherwise they would have been ruined long ago."
After a few casual words, Bai Wang was about to leave.
Gao Yigong understood what he meant, and after hesitating for a moment, he said directly: "I will recommend it to His Majesty. I don't know whether he will be selected."
"I will remember my father-in-law's kindness."
A smile appeared on Bai Wang's face, but his clumsy body walked away lightly at this time.螞
Gao Yigong shook his head, not having any hope.
Here, Gao He left quickly and arrived at the East Crossing Courtyard of the mansion.
The area here is 1/4 the size of the entire mansion, with about twenty rooms and more than thirty maids serving it.
Along the way, the maids were full of joy at the arrival of the young master. They swayed their waists slightly, showing off their youthful charm, hoping to get some favors.
However, Gao He buried his head in walking and didn't pay attention at all.
After walking hundreds of steps, he came to a quiet little courtyard. After reporting, he was allowed to enter.
The flowers and plants in the courtyard were particularly eye-catching. When he raised his head, he saw a woman sitting upright, looking at him with deep endearment in her eyes.螞
The woman has slightly white temples and a bright forehead. Although her facial features are not very beautiful, she has a heroic spirit.
She is Gao He's biological mother - Gao Guiying.
In fact, Gao Guiying had been taking care of Gao He since he was a child. By the time he recognized Gao Yigong as his father, he was already seven or eight years old and sensible.
Of course, the emperor would visit him every once in a while to make him understand his identity.
Therefore, Gao He also knew Gao Yigong, his uncle, and was willing to call him daddy.
After all, people leave a prince to themselves.
"Mother——"
After all the maids left and only a few personal maids were left, Gao He shouted.
"He'er is back." Gao Guiying's eyes were full of tenderness at this time: "What are you playing today?"
"Looking at someone wrestling." Gao He sat casually on the chair, picked up the fruit on the table and started eating.
"There's a martial arts competition coming up soon, so you have to be careful."
"It's okay, your son and I
The collar is high, no matter what, the emperor is here, can you still ask me to depose you? "
These casual words made Gao Guiying frown: "What nonsense are you talking about——"
"Do you think the emperor will interfere in martial arts competitions for your sake?" Yu
"If you really cheated and passed the exam, the emperor would definitely be displeased."
"My father is so stingy." Gao He said unhappily: "You ask for so much, but you give so little."
"Look at those sons, who were granted kingships and vassalships one by one. It's very uncomfortable to be called a loner. As for me, I still have to take a martial arts test. We are all sons, and the gap is too big."
Gao Guiying sighed and did not reprimand him again.
This is true. They are both sons, but their treatment is very different.
But there is no way, this cannot be exposed.
"Don't think that being a vassal king is so easy. If you can inherit the throne and live a happy life, I can ask for nothing else."
Gao He nodded and said nothing. As for what he was thinking in his heart, it was unknown.
After the mother and son chatted for a few words, Gao He left.
Returning to his own courtyard, Gao He fell into deep thought.
He knows his way.
Martial arts exams, then entering the martial arts hall, and then joining the army and establishing meritorious service. It is best to obtain a title, then inherit the title of Duke and serve in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army.
After all, one more title means more opportunities for his other sons, and the Gao family will prosper.
Although the top ten chiefs of the Five Army Governor's Mansion are all held by dukes and marquises, those with the highest reputations always get first, and they inherit the title on their own. It would be a joke to become the chief of the Governor's Mansion.螞
"Oh, it's difficult!" Gao He was a man of enjoyment at heart. He stretched out his waist and said, "It's so difficult to inherit a prince. If you want to do it, you can't die from exhaustion!"
After being busy for several days, Gao He started to wander around, and then invited four or five friends to watch the Tianjin Prefecture martial arts competition.
The martial arts examinations in Shuntian Prefecture and Tianjin Prefecture have different times and different examiners, but the content is almost the same, which is of great reference.
Martial arts, also known as martial arts, is the opposite of liberal arts.
In the Ming Dynasty, martial arts examinations were never taken seriously, because military attache was a secular position, and those who were admitted to the military examinations did not necessarily have official positions.
By the time of the Chongzhen Dynasty, wars were frequent. Under such circumstances, martial arts examinations were formally established, palace examinations were set up, the top three were passed on, and a large number of military attachés were recruited, filling the local military affairs.
Yang Zhan, who joined the emperor's banner in Sichuan, was born in martial arts. During the Chongzhen period, most of those who dared to fight were from martial arts.螞
Even Wu Sangui was born in martial arts.
However, the disadvantages of martial arts are also obvious, which emphasizes force over strategy.
Some people even asked: "Does the martial arts competition select servants?"
Of course, this is also the stereotype that the Song and Ming Dynasties have always believed that it is better for generals to use force and be brutal, and it is enough for civilian officials to provide guidance on strategies.
After the Shaowu Dynasty, martial arts examinations were first selected from the army, and later gradually became popular all over the world.
Compared with the previous dynasty's emphasis on force, the changes in martial arts in the Shaowu Dynasty were more focused on strategy.
In this way, martial arts generally consists of four subjects.螞
One is weapons: choose any one of the eighteen weapons and display them for fighting.
The second is to acquire astronomy, geography, and military knowledge.
For example, marching in the north and south of the Huaihe River is different, the advantages and disadvantages of Hetao horses and Monan horses, the cost of making bows and arrows, why flintlock guns automatically fire, how to march on rainy days, etc.
The third is strategic calligraphy, mainly the ten military books of "Sun Tzu's Art of War", Sun Bin's Art of War, Wu Zi, Liu Tao, Wei Liao Zi, Sima Fa, Tai Bai Yin Jing, Hu Qian Jing, Ji Xiao New Book, and Military Training Records.
The fourth is to examine some classic wars in history and analyze the advantages and disadvantages.
For example, why Zhao Jun failed in the Battle of Changping, and the importance of Mao Wenlong in Pidao...
They are all on a 100-point scale, with a full score of 400.螞
Then, the martial arts examination will comprehensively refer to the liberal arts, and will be held in three levels: scholar, scholar, and Jinshi.
In terms of salary, Wu Xiucai can be compared with four
Traveling to study, carrying a sword, no need to lead the way, exempted from corvee service, not worshiping officials when seeing strange people, etc. privileges.
Military graduates can join the patrol battalion and serve as team commander and deputy battalion commander.
Wu Jinshi is divided into three levels, the first level enters the martial arts hall directly, the second level and the third level take exams, and thirty people are selected to enter the martial arts hall.
The remaining people were directly assigned to the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army as officials, or served as team commanders in the Beijing camp or frontier army, or went to local patrol camps as deputy camp commanders.
You will learn military knowledge in the martial arts hall for about two years, and then you will go to the Guards Department to serve as a second-class guard, a seventh-rank official.
Although it is only a patrol and escort task, it is to protect the emperor, and its importance is self-evident.螞
Once you are sent out, you will be the camp commander of the Beijing camp or the frontier army, and it will be a smooth road to promotion.
Gao He looked at the competition between these people on the open ground with great interest.
The first competition was martial arts, including spear dancing or stick dancing, and some people wielded a thirty-pound sword, which was very powerful.
In order to reflect fairness, a ring system is implemented.
As long as you can defeat two people in a row, you will get the right to advance. This is a pure test of ability.
Of course, the same goes for muskets and bows. Just defeat two people.
It's exciting to dance with swords and guns.螞
The onlookers also applauded.
In one morning, the Challenger gave birth to three hundred people, and then he stopped accepting them.
Gao He thought to himself, every inch is longer and every inch is stronger, so be careful with your weapons.
"Why are they all perfect scores?" Gao He heard someone on the side surprised, he couldn't help but said: "This competition only requires passing the test. Only if you pass the test can you participate in the remaining three items."
"So, anyone who passes the exam will get 100%, and no one will be exempted."
"The last three items are what we are fighting for!"
"That's right." Gao He said with a smile: "This exam is not easy. It takes three days to test the three items. It takes three days in the yamen to complete the test."
"However, the person who invigilates the rural examination is basically the governor."
"It seems we don't have a governor in Tianjin, right?"
"Tianjin is under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the people sent by the Ministry of Rites are at least Yuanwailang."
The three-day martial arts provincial examination is over, and there are only 30 martial arts candidates admitted, which can be said to be extremely difficult.
But at the same time, the difficulty of the martial arts exam is not as good as the Wenxiang Examination, or even as difficult as the Scholar Examination.
After all, how many people can be killed by a single eight-part essay?
