Wanli Youming

Chapter 171

Chapter 171

June [-]th in the eighth year of Wanli.

Hu Shouren, Li Rusong and others were ordered to go to Beijing to enrich and train the officers and soldiers of the six guards of the pro-army, and all of them have arrived in Beijing.

And on this day.

Zhu Yijun also summoned Hu Shouren, Li Rusong and other officials in the Wuying Hall, which was as cool as being in the forest because of the large amount of ice stored in winter.

When Hu Shouren, Li Rusong and other officials met Zhu Yijun, they all wore purple flower armor, an iron helmet with feathers on their heads, a silver belt with a spring reed, and low boots.

Cover armor is a new type of armor that began to appear during the reign of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, and the purple flower cover armor was only worn by the royal army.

Now, Hu Shouren, Li Rusong, etc. all wear this armor, which naturally means that they already belong to the battle order of the emperor's pro-military guards.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

After these military generals pushed the golden mountain and inverted the jade pillar, knelt in front of Zhu Yijun, and shouted loudly, Zhu Yijun also glanced at these armored military officials who were covered with dragon scales like forming their own skirts, and said: " flat body!"

For a moment, all the military officials who were as strong as towers stood in front of Zhu Yijun after thanking him.

Zhu Yijun also stood up, looked down at these military officials from the top of the altar, and said: "The ancients said that the emperor is the son of heaven, but how can the emperor show that he is a man of strength? It all depends on whether you and the others are brave and good at fighting! But now , I, Guanqing, and others are all skilled in martial arts, and they can be regarded as my courage and my might!"

"Don't dare to disappoint His Majesty!"

Hu Shouren and others bowed and replied.

"very good!"

Zhu Yijun nodded, and then said: "Let's announce the decree."

Hu Shouren, Li Rusong and others hurriedly knelt on the ground excitedly, ready to receive the order.

Because, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse supervisor, Li Jin, uncle of Zhu Yijun, has been ordered to bring the inner court to hold embroidered spring swords, luan belts, big red python clothes, flying fish clothes, chain mail, official seals, tiger charms, and eunuchs who symbolize the right to play secret came.

They also guessed that the emperor meant to worship generals and appoint officials.

It is a rare honor for military ministers to be honored by the emperor in person, and it is enough to stay in the Spring and Autumn Period.

So, it's impossible for them not to be excited.

According to the system, the Imperial Horse Supervisor is in charge of the emperor's military power in the inner court.

In order to avoid too much power from the Supervisor of Rites and Dongchang, Zhu Yijun did not let the Supervisor of Rites and the eunuchs of Dongchang get in touch with the affairs of the pro-military guards. , also let Li from the Imperial Horse Supervisor come in to announce the decree.

The handbook for the appointment of these generals was also drawn up by Zhu Yijun himself, and he personally used the seal.

It can be seen that Zhu Yijun's emphasis on military power is not casual in terms of the handle of the knife.

"Hu Shouren, for his achievements in suppressing pirates in Guangdong, he was awarded the title of Hussar General, the Guard Army, and was promoted to the Governor of the Central Army.

Li Jin read the first handwriting.

The six guards of the pro-army reorganized by Zhu Yijun had to be trained in the same way as the Southern Army, let alone recruited again. Therefore, in addition to being named guards in name, the titles of the officers and generals were changed to the form of battalion soldiers. Then there is the battalion commander.

Hu Shouren is a veteran who has followed Qi Jiguang for many years. In the fourth year of Wanli, he was impeached and dismissed by Pang Shangpeng because of his discord with Fujian governor Pang Shangpeng. Before he was dismissed, he was the commander-in-chief of Fujian. Now he is the commander-in-chief. He is also qualified enough , not counting excessive promotion, other military officials will not refuse to accept it.

Hu Shouren, who had a round face and a big belly and a gray-black beard, hurriedly kowtowed and replied: "The minister leads the decree, thank you for your majesty's long grace, and wish to die for your majesty!"

Then, Hu Shouren received his handwriting with trembling hands.

In the main hall, other officers and generals also cast envious glances at him.

"Li Rusong, with his great victory in Liaodong, he was awarded the title of General of Hussars, Guard of the Army, and was promoted to Governor of the Central Army's Governor's Mansion. He was also in charge of admiral's military affairs, and concurrently served as the commander-in-chief of the Huben Left Guard."

Li Rusong, who had a black beard, a big face, broad ears, and a strong black complexion, hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The minister leads the decree, thank you for your majesty's grace, and wish to die for your majesty!"

Then, Li Rusong also accepted the order.

The expression is dignified and resolute.

Li Rusong was only in his thirties at the time, and for a general, he was still in his youth.

But now, he was suddenly promoted to Assistant Admiral and Military Officer of the Sixth Guards, not only because Zhu Yijun intended him to be the representative of the Northern Army to balance the top of the Ming Dynasty's military circle, but also because he himself was young but had made great military achievements.

Li Rusong took the lead in the many Liaodong victories reported by Li Chengliang.

Especially the last time.

In the great victory against the [-] cavalry of the Han tribe, Li Rusong beheaded thousands of heads.

Although this time he was very angry with his father Li Chengliang. According to Jin Yiwei's detailed report, Li Chengliang scolded Li Rusong for not changing after repeated admonitions. You know, when even Zhu Yijun had to look for a suitable northern general to find a representative of the northern army, he still chose him first, and asked him to assist the admiral of the six guards at a young age.

Historically, Li Rusong was also at a young age. He served as a lieutenant general as a governor in his thirties, and then served as the general officer of Shanxi in the 11th year of Wanli, and officially became the commander of a town.

In this life, he is still hard to hide.

"Ma Gui, with Xuanwei's Alda Department, making it peaceful in trade, he was appointed General of Zhenguo, Zhengzhi Shangqing, promoted to Commander of the Capital, and served as the commander-in-chief of the Huben Right Guard."

Then, Ma Gui, who had a beard as light and black as a sesame seed, also followed Xie En and accepted the order.

As the first person who rushed out to fight for the emperor, he was glad that he did not hesitate when the emperor ordered him to rush out and kill the court officials, and he was still used by the emperor today, and he was promoted besides Li Rusong. fastest.

But letting his Ma family miss the easiest chance to get an earl is still the biggest pain in his heart, so much so that every year the ancestral hall worships his ancestors, he has no face to face others.

"Liu Ting, for attacking Jiusi barbarians and being the first to go to the city to capture the leader of the barbarians, Ah Da, he was awarded the title of general of the town, Zhengzhi Shangqing, promoted to the commander of the capital, and served as the commander-in-chief of the left guard of Habayashi."

At this time, Liu Ting, who had a strong back and a strong waist, and was the champion of martial arts in the early years of Wanli, also thanked him and accepted the order.

"Chen Wenliang, for assisting in the defense of Jiliao and repelling Dong Bu, he was awarded the title of general of Zhenguo, Zhengzhi Shangqing, promoted to commander of the capital, and served as the commander-in-chief of Jinwu Right Guard."

Then, there is Chen Wenliang, Qi Jiguang's former department.

Zhu Yijun knew very little about Chen Wenliang.

Because most of Qi Jiguang's old ministries have no biography in history, and many people did not have official titles after the early Wanli period, so there are not many written records left.

This has something to do with the fact that the entire Southern Army was not taken seriously after Zhang Juzheng in history.

After all, the Southern Army itself represents a new military system, which is very expensive, so it will not be valued by the conservative Ming court.

It was only after the rise of Aid Korea to fight against the Japanese and the establishment of slaves that it was remembered and used.

At this moment, Zhu Yijun took a serious look at this slightly short but obviously capable general of the Southern Army, and then suddenly asked, "How many Japanese pirates have you killed?"

"Return to Your Majesty, there are one thousand three hundred and fifty-six!"

Chen Wenliang replied.

"Very good, he can kill thousands of Japanese, he can be called a good general!"

"Decree to the Imperial Academy that such a good general must be passed on in the future!"

Zhu Yijun gave orders at this time.

More than 7000 pieces are indeed a lot. You must know that Qi Jiguang, the coach, only has more than [-] Japanese slave heads on the record books of the Ministry of War.

At this time, Zhu Geng, the minister of the imperial court, hurriedly bowed his hands and said yes.

The living officer was slightly taken aback, and immediately recorded Zhu Yijun's words.

These two close servants and civil servants could clearly hear that the emperor was expressing something beyond his words.

"Lu Xiang, with the merit of capturing the Japanese chief Ha Meixu, he was appointed as the general of the town, Zhengzhi Shangqing, promoted to the commander of the capital, and served as the commander-in-chief of the right guard of Yubayashi."

Finally, there is Lu Xiang, the son of Lu Tong.

Zhu Yijun knew Lu Xiang very well, because most of Lu Tong's military achievements were earned by Lu Xiang, but Lu Xiang always kept a low profile, and his father was involved in the Hu Zongxian case in history, so he naturally Then he was implicated, so there is no biography in history.

In this life, the incident in which Fu Que's civil servants forced the palace in the past gave him a chance to regain his simplicity in the emperor's heart, and now he can also serve as the chief military officer.

Lu Xiang also thanked him and received the order.
