Great Ming National Teacher

Chapter 12 tacit understanding

Li Yunya's understanding of the army is limited to the military training he participated in when he was promoted to junior high school, and what he saw in movies such as soldiers assaulting and rushing out of Amazon. The iron army in the world is wishful thinking, but it is more than enough to deal with Wei Zhongxian's Dongchang and Jinyiwei in the future reforms or in the capital area.

Starting from the third day of September, Li Yunya began to train these thousand soldiers. He spent three whole days teaching them how to stand at attention and rest, look left and right, or just stand in place if they don't move around. , no longer as scattered as before.

Military training is very boring. They get up at five o'clock every morning, run around the camp ten times, and come back to wash and clean up the housework. Li Yunya taught them to fold their quilts neatly, and points will be deducted for unqualified ones.

Li Yunya is unwilling to use corporal punishment, especially spanking. He thinks it is a very insulting thing to take off an adult's pants and spank his buttocks in public. Every first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, there will be a comparison. The company with the lowest score has to collectively cook meals for the company with the highest score.People need face and trees need skin, this trick is more uncomfortable than being beaten with a board, all the companies are trying their best to not deduct points, and add more points, even if they can't compete for the first place, they can't wash socks for others!

After cleaning up the housework, I started to prepare breakfast, took a break after eating, started training at eight o'clock, had lunch at twelve noon, continued training from one afternoon to five in the evening, and gathered at six o'clock to listen to Li Yunya's storytelling In the past, when Li Yunya was free, he only read novels. Classical online ones, fairy tales and fantasy ones. In the army, it’s better to be martial arts ones. He picked out a book named Xiaoao Jianghu, and taught them how to read. Hearing that these young men are gearing up one by one, gesturing two moves of Huashan swordsmanship, or writing a few names of moves such as "You Feng Lai Yi" and "Quan Xie Bai Yi" on the ground.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, thought of a clever plan to divide some people into military status. They have been soldiers for generations, and they are given fields to farm in spring and summer and practice in autumn and winter.Zhu Yuanzhang boasted that he could support the soldiers of the whole country without spending a little money and food. In fact, he raised only a group of farmers. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the military equipment of various guards was abolished, and a large number of military households fled. The combat effectiveness was appallingly low. , along the southeast coast, dozens of Japanese pirates can beat thousands of Ming troops to pieces.

In the early days of Qi Jiguang's fight against the Japanese pirates, he couldn't beat them at all. When the Japanese pirates came, the "peasant army" he brought immediately ran away, leaving him as a bare-bones commander. In the end, he had to spend money to recruit troops himself to improve his combat effectiveness.

And even the well-known Qi's army doesn't practice every day. The queue has to stop and organize after a short distance. Li Yunya is now practicing non-stop from morning to night every day, without interruption, and requires the team Keeping the same distance all the time while marching, at this time people seem to be a bit abnormal.

But here you can eat three meals a day, and one meal has eggs, and two meals have meat, and you can still eat, which is many times better than when you were in the Beijing camp. Comrade Bai Xiaohu has said more than once that in Every day here is like Chinese New Year, and he plans to wait for the snow to freeze a few days later, so he secretly hides and freezes the slices of meat that he has allocated to him, and brings them to his mother and sister-in-law when he returns home during the Chinese New Year.

Standing at attention and standing at attention, straddling and standing at the same level, turning left and turning right, followed by walking and running. Li Yunya stipulated that in the camp, instead of kneeling, salute by raising hands, he also stipulated a series of daily behavior norms, etc. The training of the new army gradually became regular, so he assigned the training tasks to ten company commanders and asked them to lead their respective companies in training.

Li Yunya has more important things to do. He hired a group of masons from the Ministry of Industry, spent 2000 taels of silver to buy a large piece of open land, built a factory building, and asked them to move here with their families to study and manufacture cement. .

Li Yunya has done all kinds of work with his grandfather since he was a child, making furniture and building houses, repairing bicycles and installing outdoor antennas. When he was in school, he was the top student in his class. He also likes to use his brain. He has studied how cement is made, what kind of cement is used for what kind of work, what kind of sand and how much water is used, and he has some experience. The cement floor he wiped for others is like a mirror. Ripples, no cracking, better than his grandpa's craftsmanship.

This time he first brought a cart of limestone and a cart of clay, and asked the craftsmen to grind them, then send them to the kiln to calcinate the clinker, and then add gypsum powder, and the most primitive and simple cement can be made!

Of course, the actual situation is not that simple. First of all, he does not know the ratio of limestone to clay very accurately. Secondly, he does not know the structure of the cement kiln. Finally, he still does not know the ratio of gypsum powder. Fortunately, he has money and Right, let them experiment with one ratio and one ratio. Dozens of cement kilns are also repaired, and they are fired day and night, and they will always be made.

He transferred a total of 100 artisan households this time, and their household registrations were all transferred to the General Logistics Department of the Daming Military Academy. The whole family came here, so that they would not have any worries.The status of artisan households was also very low in the Ming Dynasty, and they usually had no wages to receive. Li Yunya gave mature artisans one tael of silver per month, and halved the wages of apprentices and nephews who could help them, and made a promise that if they could After the cement is made, each family can get a bonus of [-] taels of silver, the level is upgraded to a one-star craftsman, and the salary increases to three taels a month.

It is said that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. Under the stimulation of the bonus, the twenty craftsmen and households seemed to have been beaten to death.

While Li Yunya was busy training soldiers and burning cement, Zhu Youjian also started his actions. First of all, he agreed to the resignation of Wei Zhongxian's concubine Keshi.Ke Shi is the nanny of Tianqi Emperor Zhu Youxiao. She colluded with Wei Zhongxian and was lawless. It stands to reason that the nanny can leave when the little emperor grows up and weaned. However, Zhu Youxiao has an Oedipus complex. Let's go, and make her the holy lady. Now that Zhu Youxiao is dead, she has no reason to stay in the palace anymore. Zhu Youjian just let her go!

The second thing is to successfully make Wei Zhongxian's number one confidant in the palace, Wang Tigan, rebel. I am only loyal to the emperor, and like a bamboo tube pouring beans, I will explain all the key members of Wei Zhongxian's party and the good things they have done over the years.

After hearing this, Zhu Youjian was so angry that he almost gritted his silver teeth. He thought Wei Zhongxian was bad enough, but he didn't expect this dead shemale to be a hundred times worse than imagined!The next day, Zhu Youjian suppressed his anger and began to reward the eunuchs, most of whom were members of the Wei Party, in order to paralyze Wei Zhongxian.

After learning that Wei Zhongxian's party was rewarded by the emperor, Li Yunya immediately came to the door and told Wei Zhongxian that the 20 taels given earlier had been spent, and now the training of the new army is in full swing, waiting for the emperor's review at the end of the year. We can't stop cooking, so we still need Eunuch Wei to donate generously.

Wei Zhongxian was really generous, without saying a word, he took another 30 taels. Li Yunya put away the money and left with a smile on his face.

Knowing that Li Yunya came to ask for money again, Zhu Youjian rewarded Wei Zhongxian's party again after a few days.

Wei Zhongxian was only happy for three days, and Li Yunya came to the door again, saying that winter was coming, and the soldiers were short of cotton clothes, so they asked the eunuch Wei for money.

The next day, one jumped out. Yang Suoxiu, the deputy governor of the Procuratorate, wrote a letter to impeach four Wei party backbones, namely Cui Chengxiu, Minister of the Ministry of War, Chen Yin, Shaoqing of Taipusi, Zhu Tongmeng, governor of Yansui, and Minister of Industry. Li Yangde was charged with being unfilial, because their parents were both dead, but they did not go home to observe filial piety, which is not filial.

Yang Suoxiu had no grudge against Wei Zhongxian, and it had been a long time since the Donglin Party had completely collapsed. No one dared to attack the Wei Party. At this time, Yang Suoxiu jumped out, and there must be someone behind him. Wei Zhongxian believed that it was Zhu Youjian.

Just when Wei Zhongxian was in doubt, Zhu Youjian reprimanded Yang Suoxiu the next day, saying that he had acted recklessly and slandered the important ministers of the court.

Upon seeing this, Cui Chengxiu and other parties submitted their resignations one after another, saying that they really violated the regulations and were willing to go home to observe filial piety. Zhu Youjian comforted them, and finally agreed to three of them to go home, but resolutely kept Cui Chengxiu.

A day later, Li Yunya came to the door again to ask for money, saying that the soldiers were short of weapons and the weapons in the Ministry of War were useless. He wanted to rebuild a batch of magic soldiers, and asked Eunuch Wei to be more generous.

When Eunuch Wei heard that Li Yunya was coming, he asked the butler to lead him to the main hall to serve tea, and then called a few confidantes together to study countermeasures: "It seems that the little emperor supports this little Taoist priest. What happened a few days ago probably happened in Hit me, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to make eight points, and only agreed to the resignation of others, but he wanted to keep Chengxiu whatever he said, probably because he thought I gave less money last time."

Cui Chengxiu said: "It's hard to say what the emperor means. This time, I will give him some more, and then I will see the emperor's reaction. If this kind of thing does not happen again, it is based on Qiantose's guess. The emperor really wanted to kill us."

Everyone else agreed with Cui Chengxiu's opinion. Wei Zhongxian came out to see Li Yunya, and this time he was generous and directly gave 50 taels.

The next day, Zhu Youjian rewarded Wei Zhongxian's party again, giving Wei Zhongxian and Cui Chengxiu all honorary titles.

Li Yunya and Zhu Youjian didn't meet each other during this period, but there was a tacit understanding between them. Not only did they take more than 100 million taels of silver from Wei Zhongxian, but also made Wei Zhongxian let go of his guard, thinking that the emperor only wanted money from him.

On the official road in the south of the city, Li Yunya was sitting in the carriage, holding a hand warmer in his arms, secretly thinking: It seems that the emperor still does not intend to let Wei Zhongxian go, if he follows his strategy of balancing the two parties, he should not be like this now. How to do it, I hope that the little inspector will do it slowly, and then dig more benefits from Eunuch Wei.

In the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City, Zhu Youjian was sitting behind the Longshu case correcting the memorial, watching the curling smoke from the copper crane incense burner, and thinking silently: I hope Yunya will do it faster, eunuch Wei will live one more day, for himself and the world People are a disgusting torture!I really can't stand it anymore.
