Great Ming National Teacher

After Li Yunya left, Wei Zhongxian asked his confidants: "What do you think of this little Taoist priest?"

As the mastermind, Cui Chengxiu was the first to speak: "This little Taoist knows illusions, I'm afraid it's similar to the legendary White Lotus Sect members, but that's all. Touching stone into gold, otherwise he would not come to us for money. I think this person is greedy and arrogant, and he will not end well in the future."

"The thunder in his palm is really powerful!" Xu Xianchun said with lingering fear after waking up, "His magic weapon stuck to my body, and immediately my whole body went numb, and my hands and feet twitched uncontrollably. It was worse than any torture. I thought I couldn't survive. .”

"No matter how powerful he is, he is only one person." Wei Zhongxian said quietly, "I care more about what the emperor thinks."

Cui Chengxiu said: "Your Majesty is young, so he must be more playful, and he was seduced by such a greedy and treacherous villain. His desire to train soldiers is probably a temporary idea, and it will be fine after a while. At that time, the little Taoist priests will no longer know how to advance and retreat, and will be attracted by others." Just take him."

"Not bad!" Xu Xianchun said bitterly, "I mobilized three hundred crossbowmen to shoot at him, and fired ten thousand arrows at once. Even if he is really a fairy, I will shoot him like a hedgehog!"

Wei Zhongxian glanced at the two of them: "It would be great if the emperor is really playful!"

Wei Zhongxian never thought of becoming an emperor himself, even if he prepared some prohibited items for the emperor, he just had fun at home. In the same sentence, an eunuch cannot become an emperor. He only wants to control the emperor. What he hopes most is Like his elder brother, Zhu Youjian does what he likes to do in the palace every day, and leaves everything outside to himself.

In the past, Zhu Youxiao only loved carpentry, but now Zhu Youjian wants to train soldiers, which is quite like Wuzong.

Wu Zong was Zhu Houzhao, the emperor of Zhengde, who couldn't stay in the Forbidden City, and always wanted to run out despite the opposition of his officials.At the beginning when King Ning rebelled, Zhu Houzhao personally led the conquest. On the way, King Ning was caught by Wang Shouren.Zhu Houzhao also fought with the little Mongolian prince. In that battle, he personally beheaded an enemy.

Zhu Houzhao didn't pay much attention to government affairs, except for some important decisions, all of them were handed over to the eunuch Liu Jin around him to manage, making Liu Jin the emperor with power over the government and the public.

In fact, Cui Chengxiu and others also thought of Zhu Houzhao's story, but they didn't tell it, because in the end when Zhu Houzhao was playing in his expanded animal house, he handed out a note and arrested Liu Jin for questioning. The allusion cannot be told clearly.

"That little Taoist should not touch him for the time being, let him lead the little emperor to play!" Wei Zhongxian made the final tone.

In the face of Zhu Youjian's matter, he still chose to compromise first, just like when Emperor Tianqi ascended the throne and the Donglin Party was dominant, Wei Zhongxian also took the initiative to visit Zhao Nanxing, the leader of the Donglin Party, and wanted to make friends. It's just that the Donglin Party looked down on him, not only refused to let him in, but also disdainfully cited his physical defects, which finally angered Wei Zhongxian, and later launched a bloody revenge on the Donglin Party.

Now he has also made up his mind that if the little emperor wants to play, he will play with the emperor. Anyway, he is the most powerful person in the Ming Dynasty. There is no need for money in the treasury. His family will never be short of money to spend. Give as much as you want. Make the little emperor happy, and everyone is well.

The next day, Zhu Youjian issued an imperial decree announcing the establishment of the Daming Sixth Division Military Academy, referred to as the Daming Military Academy. Act cooperatively.

This was issued by a decree. The cabinet scholars are all members of Wei Zhongxian. Eunuch Wei greeted him in advance, and no one objected.

After the imperial decree was issued, the ministers speculated about the purpose of this newly established institution. The word "school" has existed since ancient times. Yang Xiong in the Han Dynasty said "state-owned schools, and the Marquis has Pangong." Cultivating virtuous persons and selecting scholars based on their talents and virtues is the duty of the country.” Military officer schools are for cultivating military officers. He came from two ranks of Jinshi, but this time the emperor actually set up a school alone to train military officers?

And where did this Li Yunya come from?I have never heard of it in the past, why did I suddenly become the vice principal under the emperor?Or the chief instructor of the Sixth Division, roughly similar to the instructor?Everyone immediately went to search for Li Yunya's background, to see if he had the qualifications of a Jinshi, whether he was a man of literature or martial arts, so as to guess what the new emperor's intentions were.

Li Yunya ran to the dignitaries in the Beijing camp amidst everyone's curious onlookers. The documents from the Ministry of War had already been received here. Shangshu Cui Chengxiu sent someone a message, asking them to give them as much convenience as possible and not to make things difficult. After the banquet, Li Yunya greeted him warmly as soon as he arrived: "My people, you can choose whatever you want."

Li Yunya put on a cold face, refusing to eat: "You don't have to eat, you pick out 20 strong soldiers from the army who are over 1 years old and under [-] years old!"

Seeing that he had no choice but to lose face, the commander-in-chief of the Beijing battalion immediately asked him to accept him and transfer troops.

Li Yunya wanted a set of tables and chairs, took out a diary and a ballpoint pen from the space, and asked [-] soldiers to line up to pick them out for him.

Ever since Nurhachi rebelled against the Seven Great Sworn Divisions during the Wanli period, the offensive against the Ming Dynasty has become more and more fierce, and all the elite fighters in the country have been forced to move to the northeast. Empty shells, coupled with the fact that the officials are peeling layers of skins, eating empty salaries and drinking the blood of soldiers, it has become more and more unbearable. At the beginning, a few hundred people were okay, but later it became more and more miserable. There were more and more patches on the clothes. No military spirit.

Li Yunya's criteria for recruiting troops is naturally physical fitness first, first check whether the body is strong from the appearance, and then ask them to lift the stone lock to see their strength, and then call them in front of them, and talk to them one by one. I don't want anyone who is erratic or timid. Veteran oil is a big hazard. In a war, he first put oil on the soles of his feet and can bring down a team. What Li Yunya wants are recruits with strong plasticity. If it wasn't for Da Ming The government has very strict restrictions on household registration, and he is about to go to the street to recruit soldiers.

He first selected 1 out of [-] people, and then asked them to run in a long circle. He pulled the tables and chairs to the middle of the school field and carefully selected them. He called over every one he liked, asked for his name and place of origin, and wrote In the diary, twenty people write one page, and a total of fifty pages are filled.

"Crack!" Li Yunya closed the diary, "Just these people, come with me."

Declining the warm invitation of all the generals, Li Yunya led the people out of the Beijing camp and walked around to a small hill in the south of Beijing.

Here is a wasteland, with a few trees sparsely, and the ground is full of weeds.

Li Yunya took out his diary and began to roll the roll: "Zhao Wenchong! If you hear me say the name, you should answer 'yes' loudly, and then run to me quickly. I will say it again, Zhao Wenchong!"

"Here!" A tall, slender guy with fluff on his lips ran over quickly, looking shrewd, "My lord." He didn't know what to call Li Yunya, Li Yunya was dressed so strangely that he couldn't tell Whether it's a civil servant or a general, you can't tell the rank, but seeing that when Li Yunya was picking people in the Beijing camp, the usually invincible commander-in-chief fawned on him so much, so he knew that his official position must be very high.

"Li Dahai, Li Xiaohai, Li Xiaohai?"

A young man was dumbfounded, his elder brother gave him a hand, and quickly answered for him: "Here! We are here! My lord, we are here."

The two brothers hurried over and looked at Li Yunya worriedly, for fear that this man who was more powerful than the general soldier would get angry.

Li Yunya was not blamed on them, so he continued to read ten people, and picked one who was pleasing to the eye: "You ten belong to a class, that is, one class, Li Dahai, from today onwards, you are the class monitor of the first class, I From now on, when you call the people in the first class, you have to answer them immediately, and then bring them over, understand?"

"Go back to the adults, the little ones know."

"Don't call me an adult, call me...the chief! Yes, call me the chief, and don't call yourself a small one. Remember, you are a soldier, a soldier who stands up to the sky, and you don't need to bow your knees to anyone. You can call yourself me in the future."

"It's the big... Uh no, chief, the little one remembers."

Li Yunya went over and punched him in the chest: "You're still called a little boy! Go and take your team aside to practice, and let me hear you call yourself a little boy, and I'll hit you."

Li Yunya went on to roll the roll. Every ten people form a squad, and ten squads form a company. There are ten companies in total. He appointed a company commander for each company: "Remember what I just told you? Now you Familiar with each other, remember how many squads I am in, and remember who my squad leader is, and who my company commander is, I will remember them all."

"I helped the emperor train the new army and build this Ming military academy. You are the first batch of students in this military academy." Next, Li Yunya didn't say those flashy words of encouragement, but directly said about the treatment, "During the school, each student will pay a monthly salary of [-] yuan per month. Give me one tael of silver, one piece of cloth, and one stone of grain." As soon as these words were spoken, commotion began below.

The rules established by Zhu Yuanzhang when the Ming Dynasty was founded set up military registration. Anyone with military registration, ancestors, and generations are soldiers. During the Jiajing period, a few thousand Japanese pirates were able to turn upside down the coastal provinces and even conquer the city. Later, Qi Jiguang re-recruited troops to create the famous Qi family army, including the current Guanning iron cavalry.

In today's market, recruiting soldiers are paid three taels of silver per month, and two bolts of cloth are equivalent to five taels of silver once they are fed. But these people in the Beijing camp are not. They are all hereditary military households, and their homes are in the guards on the outskirts of the capital. , each has land, the military pay is extremely low, coupled with the exploitation of the officers, they can’t even get a penny every month, they can only receive a stone of grain, a small amount of salt to subsidize the family, and the rest depends on rewards, otherwise when Li Yunya went , They will not be so blind-eyed and muddle along.

Now that I heard that there is a salary to get it, after converting it, there are two and a half of the silver every month, and I immediately feel refreshed.

"This school implements a military rank system. After half a year, if you can be promoted to non-commissioned officers, your military salary will be doubled." Li Yunya wanted to establish another framework besides the existing system of the Ming Dynasty, and then gradually replace the old with the new to exclude the original one. A system that has rotted to the root.
