The horns of Daningwei and Zhangwu were strong, and Tuman Khan still tried to attack a few times. He found that he ignored the head and tail, and gradually gave up the attack. Instead, he once again sought to trade with each other. Mutual trade, this court would definitely not agree to it, Tuman Khan was pretending and demanding, Ming Dynasty even gave up his face in order to stop the bleeding, the market called tribute was actually a yearly coin, Tuman Khan still insisted on talking about the glory of his ancestors, 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 peace, but once the trip failed, once the talks collapsed, and once the Ming Dynasty sent officials The officials were beheaded in public, Ling Yunyi directly ordered 100,000 soldiers, and invited Zhang Yuanxun back from Luzon to Guangdong and Guangxi, intending to solve the problem once and for all.
The Yao Rebellion this time is a silhouette of the Ming Dynasty's reform and return to local rule. 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 started in the Chenghua period and lasted until the Jiajing period. The imperial court was There were many campaigns of suppression, and during the Jiajing period, there were many campaigns in the fourth, tenth, and twelfth years.
But this time, Ling Yunyi directly ordered 100,000 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.
This time, the killing of the Ming Dynasty's recruitment envoy 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 was also intensifying. Ming wanted to force his opponent away, but the topography and hydrology of Mindanao was not familiar to Ming. Attacking the island and seizing the city was too difficult in this era. The first battle was back and forth, and the fight seemed to be in full swing, but in fact, none of the Ming Dynasty's guest soldiers were dispatched. Instead, Lin Afeng and the original group of pirates were fighting back and forth with the Hongmao Ban.
The excitement is really lively, and the gains are really few.
Zhu Yijun is preparing to go to Beitucheng. This time it is not the Spring and Autumn Parade, but a ceremony where the emperor exercises the ancestral method of military horses.
This time, not only will the Beijing camp be rewarded after the victory, but they will also be inspected for military prowess, and new technologies and equipment will also be displayed. 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 meeting 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 army, there were 40,000 to 50,000 people in the capital camp of the Ming Dynasty at that time. 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 out of the city gate, and all the soldiers Liu Shen did not dare to go forward, and went outside the city before returning to the capital. In the first year of Longqing, there were 90,000 people in the capital camp. The Tuman Khan broke into the Xifengkou and invaded. The capital camp did not dare to go out to fight. It was just an appearance. This situation reached the second year of Longqing. Qi Jiguang and Tan Lun returned to Beijing one after another and finally changed.
Qi Jiguang trained 100,000 troops and settled in Jizhen.
To invigorate the military and strengthen the army, in the words of Zhang Juzheng, means: sincerely cultivating the domestic and foreign forces, and achieving 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 for favoritism against the enemy in the sixth year of Longqing, and Zhang Siwei for bribery, appeasement and transportation of bribes 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 planning palace, with a yellow curtain, would be the main place where Zhu Yijun would parade the army in the future.
Tan Lun, who is in charge of the military affairs of the Beijing Camp and is the Minister of the Ministry of War, has already gone there with all the officials of the Ministry of War. He led the generals to clean up the inside and outside of the court. Of course, in order to prevent the madman from drawing a bow to stab the king and kill him, the officials of the Ministry of War and the generals of the Beijing Camp We have been 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 one used by the emperor was 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 a 3,000-person infantry camp with bright flags outside the Meridian Gate. This infantry camp was led by General Li Rusong, wearing bright armor and holding banners and equipment. It was completely Fighting stance.
Zhu Yijun had already 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, I sincerely request your Majesty to go to the capital camp to parade the military horses!"
Zhu Yijun took the dragon flag banner from Tishuai Zhao Mengyou and 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, it had just reached Qi Jiguang's waist. Now it has grown to be even with Qi Jiguang's shoulders.
At that time, Zhu Yijun had just started practicing martial arts, and he was still a little chubby. 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 banner to Qi Jiguang and said with a smile: "In the future, Qi Shuai will carry the flag for me."
"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 mount his horse, Zhang Juzheng walked within three feet of the emperor, bowed his head and said, "I will help your majesty to mount his horse."
"My equestrian skills are already very good. I can mount the horse by myself." Zhu Yijun said that as the top expert in the youth group, he does not need help from others.
"Please help your Majesty to mount the 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 to mount his horse was to help the emperor's imperial hegemony. This is a beautiful meaning. .
"Mr. You Lao." 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. How dare you try to trick Grandpa Huang!
When other emperors' palaces were burned down, they could only appeal to the emperor and reflect on their own mistakes. He didn't have to. He could pursue whoever he wanted!
Zhu Yijun gave him a little help and climbed onto the horse steadily.
"The Emperor is traveling!" Feng Bao shook his fly whisk and shouted loudly, and pairs of pairs of little 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 called 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 Deshengmen, it is Beitucheng. .
Like a stream of water, the imperial army set off, 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 yue.
There is only one dragon flag in the Ming Dynasty. Except when the Mingbao Sect, as the grand master of Wala, took the lead in attacking the Desheng Gate of the capital of the Ming Dynasty, there was only one dragon flag in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yijun was wearing a military uniform, and his face armor was not buckled. He drove the horse slowly out of the Meridian Gate. He was surrounded by the Han generals of the palace guards led by Tishuai. The innermost layer of the Han generals were armored two men. There were ten sparring partners, including military guards and eunuchs. The ones closest to Zhu Yijun were Tishuai Zhao Mengyou and red-helmeted military guard Luo Sigong. Feng Bao, the ancestor in the palace, was in front, and Zhang Hong, the second ancestor, followed behind the emperor.
Feng Bao wanted to lead the horse, and Zhang Hong wanted to protect His Majesty. If Your Majesty fell, he would 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 gongs, drums, and instruments sounded in unison. This was the military music of the expedition, solemn and solemn. Behind him was a team of civilian officials, except Tan Lun, who was not there. Tan Lun had already gone ahead and went to Beitucheng to arrange the parade of military horses. Everything.
At the end of the team, there is another 1,500-person rear guard, responsible for the rear.
Zhu Yijun's guard of honor finally arrived at Beitucheng, and the drums and horns were playing 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 10,000 people shouted in unison, and their harmonies shook the sky, soaring into the sky, and the entire capital was deafened. After the mountains shouted and the sea shouted, the artillery began to sound, and the rumbling sound of the cannons was like thunder rolling from the sky, resounding throughout the capital. .
Zhu Yijun reined in his horse and shouted loudly: "The Ming army is mighty!"
There was another burst of shouting from the mountains and the sea.
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. Seeing the appearance of the Ming Dynasty's army was inspiring, so they were naturally happy. There were also some 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, Anda Khan would 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 in the direction of Beitucheng, where Tan Lun was standing at the bridge in armor.
As soon as the little emperor's face darkened, he knew that @ Tan Lun was a warrior in civilian guise. As a small ceremonial guard for the parade, Tan Lun had to wear armor, so he could not let Tan Lun, the governor of the military affairs of the Beijing camp, go to battle. His If he goes to the governor's military affairs, he will definitely fight in battle!
Zhu Yijun came to the imperial palace and dismounted.
The parade of military horses officially began. Zhu Yijun started to warm up. He was really tired and sweaty after walking such a long distance in summer. He took out his 70-pound bow and waited for the parade of military horses. Start.
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 thorough arrangements. No matter whether the little emperor had lied to him in the letter or not, he had not practiced diligently. With martial arts, the emperor's face cannot be lost.
The person responsible for saving face for the little emperor was Li Rusong. He was already hiding in the crowd. If the emperor's arrow failed to hit, Li Rusong would secretly shoot again.
Qi Jiguang released the homing pigeon.
Zhu Yijun drew his bow and shot an arrow. After taking aim, he immediately released the bow string. 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 the smile soon spread to the bright sun.
The little emperor really didn't fool him. He was really training diligently. Diligence can make up for one's shortcomings based on being practical and conscientious. Any laxity will continue to accumulate. This is generally true for martial arts, reading, and world affairs. If you don't advance, you will retreat.
Obviously, during the year since Qi Jiguang, the teacher, left the court, the little emperor's riding and archery skills had improved.
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, the more than 10,000 soldiers in the Beijing camp involuntarily tightened their grip on the hook and sickle gun in their hands, and kept firing. They shouted in unison: "Cai! Cai! Cai!"
The commander quickly presented the three homing pigeons to the emperor. Zhu Yijun saw the marks on the arrows, which were the marks he left. If the arrows missed and were found, others would not know. Zhu Yijun must know it himself, but the three arrows The arrows were all temporary marks he had set, and there was only one wound on the pigeon.
"Sir, you teach well." Wan Shihe said with admiration to Zhang Juzheng.
Naturally noble people are mostly waste in the palace. This has been proven countless times in history. In fact, the courtiers did not expect the emperor to have much future. All he needed to do was to review the memorials that should be reviewed.
But the emperor's performance time and time again exceeded everyone's expectations. 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 does not regret it. .
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 and came to the rifle target. He 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.
He kept drawing the bow and shooting. After shooting five arrows, he switched his left hand to his right, 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 commander-in-chief was very excited. After checking it with the emperor, he started to display the rifle target everywhere. Every time a team passed by, there were bursts of cheers.
Wang Chonggu stared at the target, and his heart was in turmoil. In the future, he might not be sure who would kill whom when these gangsters assassinated him. Wang Chonggu actually hesitated many times whether to choose the emperor or the clan party. Now it seems that choosing the emperor is absolutely right. .
Da Sikou always thought that the young emperor's martial arts practice was just a boast, just a concave personality in the palace, expressing his support for the promotion of martial arts and strengthening the army. How could a naturally 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 strike. 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.
It is a common standard action when northern infantry fights cavalry, cutting off a horse's legs and decapitating the enemy.
With just this movement, 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 is 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 square scarf, and Luo Sigong was tied with a red square scarf. They were fighting against each other, and they were fighting fiercely. The sound of the wooden knife hitting the iron armor was sonorous and powerful, which shows that this 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, the wooden sword will definitely kill people if it hits a vital part.
In 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.
After the beating, 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 either. He kept breathing heavily and his whole body was soaked in sweat. .
This is the first military parade, so Zhu Yijun wants to show the results of his martial arts practice before the parade begins.
The Ming Dynasty Jingying Camp performed three routines on the school field, including fists, knives, and spears, and then the Ming Dynasty 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 is to load the gun, two is to twist the thread, three is to charge the gun, four is the horse, five is the hammer, six is the hammer, seven is the arrow, eight is the spear, nine is the trumpet, don't sound the horn, sing the gong, light the fire and throw the cymbal Ring, close the team!" The soldiers in the Beijing camp sang and demonstrated how to shoot firecrackers.
The flat guns used by the two people were also brought over. The flat guns with four ounces of gunpowder were more accurate and hit moving targets. More than a dozen wild boars were released. The flat guns kept ringing, and dozens of The wild boars fell one by one under the constant sound of gunfire.
After the musket fire, came the artillery bombardment.
Twelve nine-pound artillery pieces were pulled onto the school field. The target of the 100-step artillery was a steel-concrete pier. The twelve artillery fired four rounds of salvos, and the steel-concrete piers were punched into big holes.
The last two that were pulled out were Ming Dynasty's latest naval guns. They were heavy and suitable for use on ships and in city defense. These guns were also pulled out to the school grounds. They hit the target in all three attempts at 150 steps. On the steel-concrete pier, there was a muffled groan.
Although the one-foot-wide steel-concrete pier was smashed into holes one after another, it 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. The main building was the Ming Dynasty Palace. The tallest one was not as high as the 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 procession and said loudly and vigorously: "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.
The Taichang Temple official came out of his duties and shouted loudly: "Play music!"
"Wucheng's Song" composed by Emperor Zhu Zaiyu, the chief musician of the Ming Dynasty, and lyrics written by Zhang Juzheng, Lu Tiaoyang and others began to play.
Li Rusong raised his head, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp kept tapping 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 Tiger and Leopard Camp, and the Sixth Division is surrounded by armor and bright . Wei Ling broadcast, the barbarians were shocked, they chanted for peace, and the world was clarified."
"The immortal battle moves to Pingle, and the neon banners embrace the orchid. Suddenly thousands of cavalry merge, and the six battalions are surprised. The Qi Chen Jingu is used, and the forerunner builds the Yuluan. The light clouds support the green cover, and the bright sun shows the red poles."
The music score is very good and the lyrics are also very good, but it just lacks a bit of flavor and is too solemn.
Zhu Yijun asked Qi Jiguang to play the song, and asked for the red scarf military song by name, "Clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger, fame, fortune, dust and earth."
The Ming Army knows this song, but it is 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 caused the people to rise up. The Red Turban Army Song has a strong background of the times. The Ming Army sang it With this song, he destroyed Hu Yuan’s capital and drove out 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 being a prophecy.
In the end, Qi Jiguang compromised and sang "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. Only loyalty and righteousness can lead to bullfighting!"
"The Lord will kiss me like a parent. If you violate the military law, you will not be free!"
"The orders are clear, the rewards and punishments are written. Go to the fire and water, don't dare to stay later!"
"Report to the Emperor, come down and save the head of Guizhou!"
"Kill all the Japanese pirates and find a marquis!"
Zhu Yijun learned this song, and the main body of the military parade was the soldiers of the Beijing camp, not the emperor. Zhu Zaiyu and Zhang Juzheng made "Wuchengzhi Song" a good one, but the main part was still to promote the majesty of the emperor. He liked this song very much , especially the sentence of reporting to the emperor to rescue the head of Guizhou, kill all the Japanese slaves (slaves), and find a marquis.
He liked this sentence the most. It represented the mission of the Ming Dynasty army, reporting to the emperor and rescuing 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, which is the civilian population; what the people and the army should do is to achieve their great and lofty ideals. Anbang and the country are settled.
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 him with 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's grand banquet was a 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.
Even at his age, Tan Lun sat at the same table with children.
After the three nobles in Wuying Tower, the soldiers also started to have dinner. The banquet was set according to the price of 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 and listened to His Majesty's instructions.
"Your Majesty ordered: 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 great victory of Ningwei last year, the emperor had given extra rewards. Today, the emperor has gone from inspecting the military horses every five days to riding the military horses every day. This can be regarded as a gift, and each person is given two taels of silver.
Therefore, for the first course, each table of ten people has twenty imperial silver coins, and everyone has a share.
This extra reward came from internal funds. Everyone was smiling. It was a meritorious service. Your Majesty really rewarded it. Is there such a beautiful thing? !
They are all soldiers selected from Jiubian. When we were in the local area before, let alone merit rewards, the court could pay the military pay and the soldiers could receive half pay. That was all thanks to their gratitude. Now that we have military pay, we have In addition to merit rewards, there are additional rewards.
Zhu Yijun is a very realistic person. He believes that to cultivate military discipline in the army, of course, it is necessary to strictly enforce military discipline regulations. He also believes that military discipline also needs money to maintain it. The Beijing camp has proven in Daning Wei that it is not a dry job, then Everything should be provided, so that the cost of disciplinary violations will further increase.
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 received five taels of silver.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
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 infantry camps."
"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 the wine. When he heard His Majesty say this, he immediately said cheerfully: "If you object, just object here."
On the ground of the Jingying camp, the soldiers in the Jingying camp will not take issue with the officials who oppose the expansion of the army, but the officials must have the courage to do so.
Qi Jiguang raised his forehead and wondered 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 and camp in Beijing with 10,000 people. The number is too small. I will lead the troops to attack. Your Majesty has no troops to send. If there are more bad guys and the palace is burned down, 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 maintained a scale of more than 200,000 people. The Ming Dynasty can still afford it." Wang Guo. Guang knew the little emperor's temperament of saving money, so he told your majesty, your majesty, our Ming Dynasty is rich.
The food and salary alone for 120,000 people cost 2.16 million silver per year.
During the spring parade in March of the ninth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng had made the country rich and powerful for ten years. There were 120,000 people in the capital camp of the Ming Dynasty. Everyone at that time said: The military appearance is rare in modern times. Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! !
