After listening to Zhu Jianshen's words, the three of them could not calm down.
No wonder the three of them were called here. It turned out that they wanted to solve the problem after Wu Xun.
Even if the noble's sons do not have a title, they will inherit corresponding military positions, allowing them to quickly climb to the middle and upper levels of the army. However, if they are all idiots, this will be a fatal threat to the Ming army.
In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates were encountered along the southern coast. Thousands of soldiers were charged by hundreds of thieves and began to collapse. Part of the reason for this was that the foundation of the army was rotten.
For some of the descendants of nobles, the courage to win when they meet on a narrow road has long been wiped away by years of easy and comfortable life.
Because they have enjoyed wealth, wealth, and women, they know how to live in order to live, and they also know how to live in order to live in high spirits, so these people are more afraid of death than ordinary soldiers.
A small army of thousands of people, starting from the Qian Commander to the General Commander, I was scared to death of what the soldiers below would be like.
Chen Ying, Yang Hong, and Guo Deng also knew what Zhu Jianshen said, but in their hearts they were somewhat repelled by what Zhu Jianshen said.
Aren't the merits of the elders just to make the children feel comfortable?
"Your Majesty, although there is some truth in this, I am still afraid..." Chen Ying said slowly.
Zhu Jianshen glanced at Chen Ying: "Why don't you say anything?"
"I'm afraid that Wu Xun is very dissatisfied."
Zhu Jianshen was not angry. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Are you dissatisfied?"
Chen Ying quickly stood up: "I, I am not dissatisfied at all."
The smile on Zhu Jianshen's face never dissipated: "Tai Ninghou may have other thoughts in his mind, but he knows that what I said makes sense."
"There will definitely be dissatisfaction, so I have thought of a compromise. If the court arranges to go to the border for training, and you don't want to go, if you inform the court in advance and register it, even if you do not want to go in the future, You cannot take up a military position, but the court will also give you a reward of some money. But if you don’t go, are you notified in advance, and hide it, then you will not be able to take on a military position in the future, and you will not get any money as a gift."
Zhu Jianshen stopped after speaking slowly. He looked at the reactions of Tai Ninghou and others.
Yang Hong was doing better, but Guo Deng and Chen Ying both had troubled expressions on their faces.
"General Yang, when you were as old as me in the 10th year of Yongle, you succeeded your father's position as Qianzong. You garrisoned Kaiping far away. In the second year of Zhengtong, you were promoted to guerrilla and guarded the Nine Borders for more than 40 years. After so many years, During the time, you have also seen many second and third generations who inherited the father's duties. You know better than me what kind of temperament they have and what kind of sergeants they lead."
After Zhu Jianshen finished speaking, Yang Hong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I understand."
"General Guo, you are the grandson of Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding. During the Yongle period, you were as old as me. You relied on the glory of your fathers to become an honorary guard. But you have been fond of talking about military affairs since you were a child. You are well-read and have a strong memory. You are orthodox. In the sixth year, Wang Ji, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, and Mu Bin, the Duke of Guizhou, conquered Luchuan, Tengchong and other places. They were awarded the title of commander of the capital and the title of Xiangbo. After the battle of defending the capital, they were promoted to the rank of marquis. Although the general did not take over The Marquis of Wuding has been in the military for many years, so he must be aware of the matter of Wu Xun."
"Your Majesty, I understand."
Zhu Jianshen continued: "If this problem is not solved, there will be another war, and I will entrust the Ming Dynasty to their hands, how can I feel at ease." ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz
This is some changes made based on the system established by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. It is not radical. If you really have a heart for family and country and are willing to serve the Ming Dynasty and serve the frontiers, this change is good, but if you don’t have such courage, I don’t want to join the army, but it would be good to gain a sum of money and get permission from the court.
The only bad thing is that they have to leave their original comfort zone.
"I also understand that asking the three of you to do this is asking you to be evil people. You have so many scruples, and I don't blame you. But you are now my right-hand man. Is it possible for you not to be such evil people? Let me be this evil person."
The words are very direct. If you don't treat this evil person, I will personally deal with it. Anyway, this matter must be facilitated.
You call it a soft treatment, but I will end up with a hard one.
After hearing this, Chen Ying stood up in fear and said: "Your Majesty, I don't dare. I will report this matter after I go down."
After Zhu Jianshen listened, he nodded.
Then he looked at Guo Deng and Yang Hong, who immediately stood up to express their attitude.
Military generals are different from civilian officials. They are really the second generation generals of the Ming Dynasty. With the help of their fathers, as long as they don't make any big mistakes, they can quickly occupy a place in the army.
If you have the ability and enter it hard, then that's okay. If you don't have the ability and enter it softly, then you won't be happy and I won't be happy either. It's better to buy out your father's service sooner or later and go our separate ways.
After the three of them agreed, Zhu Jianshen's tone gradually softened.
"There is no war in the world now, but if there is no long-term concern, there will be immediate worries. If we don't do some things, we will leave harm to future generations. Everyone, I am waiting for your letter."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"There is one more thing that you are worried about. I promise that it will never happen. This is a matter for the Heavenly Family. It is only in the palace and not in the front court. I will definitely handle it properly." Zhu Jianshen said slowly.
After hearing Zhu Jianshen's words, everyone knew it well.
The matter of worry is the Emperor's matter.
Now that His Majesty has mentioned this topic openly, he must have a proper way to deal with it. He said it this way to reassure everyone. It was a problem in the front and a quick reassurance in the back.
After the three people left.
Zhang Bao on the side said softly: "Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to keep an eye on it?"
"What are you talking about? They are all loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty and mine. They will handle this matter for me. There is no need to worry too much. It is just a small matter." Zhu Jianshen finished speaking softly, and then a light flashed in his eyes: " The people you send to keep an eye on them must be shrewd, otherwise my face will be tarnished if they are discovered."
After Zhang Bao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty."
The three of them walked out of the Forbidden City with mixed feelings. No one in the palace city spoke. But when they arrived at the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion, after the three of them sat down at the screen and retreated from the crowd, Guo Deng was the first to speak: "What's behind your majesty?" People can think of such a way."
Chen Ying gave a bitter smile: "Your Majesty has been different from ordinary people since he was a child. When the old British Duke passed away, I and..." At this point, Chen Ying paused for a moment, then sighed and continued: "Lao Chengguo was once in Britain. I saw the conversation between His Majesty and the British Duke in front of the Duke's bedside."
"His Majesty asked the British Duke what he thought about the military household policy, and the British Duke also explained it. Since His Majesty has some thoughts on the household registration system, then these military honors passed down from generation to generation are even more important. Is it the most important thing?"
"What I'm worried about is that my title is too low. There are many princes in the city. Whether their descendants should move or not is a big problem after all."
After listening to Chen Ying's words, Yang Hong turned around and continued: "Your Majesty is right to worry. Marquis Taining, your Majesty only mentioned military positions and did not mention military titles, which meant that these princes were released. If If they are willing to let their descendants go out to fight, then their descendants can join the army and hold military positions, but if they are not willing, they can only follow the rules and only inherit the title, and have nothing to do with the army in the future."
Guo Deng sighed: "Marquis Taining, both of our sons are in the frontier. This decree has little impact on the two of us, but for you, it is a bit unfair. My nephew is less than ten years old. The road to the imperial examination will still follow your old path, but you can't see it now."
"Hey, Lao Guo, do you think His Majesty's idea will only be used once? It will last for a long time. Isn't it too late to make a choice when the young master of the Marquis Taining family reaches an age?" Yang Hong said with a smile.
Listening to the two people talking, Chen Ying just smiled bitterly, and then said: "Your Majesty gave you a general idea, but the specific rules and regulations and how to implement them still need to be decided by the three of us. Think about it carefully. Tomorrow, we will perform together."
The two just nodded.
Chen Ying paused for a while, wanting to say something, but he didn't talk about the Emperor.
Unlike Guo Deng and Yang Hong, he had organized people to look for the Supreme Emperor. Although the court had always been afraid of the Supreme Emperor and rarely mentioned it, Chen Ying knew that it was true that the Supreme Emperor returned south last time. I came back and was indeed caught.
Chen Ying once suspected that the people who captured him were Xu Youzhen and Zhu Ji.
But Chen Ying didn't know much about whether he would be sent back to Mongolia or find a place to resettle...
