Chapter 173

Chapter 173

"Why did you want to join the army when you were literate?"

Zhu Yijun asked a question at this time.

According to Zhu Yijun's knowledge, good men don't serve in the army, not to mention that people who have the opportunity to read and write in this era should basically have a good family background, at least well-off, and naturally it is even less likely to enlist in the army.

That's why Zhu Yijun asked this question.

"In the beginning, of course, it was because of the Japanese pirates who harmed their hometown. Some of the miners' children were originally going to study and start their careers, and some had achieved fame, but they were all called by Qi Hou and enlisted in the army. Gradually, many of them survived. People who can read and write become officials, so they simply forget about raising careers, and the key courts didn't let us disband, and they continued to use us, so there was no time to think about raising careers in order to serve the country."

Hu Shouren replied.

Zhu Yijun nodded after hearing this: "No wonder I heard that many of Qi Qing's former departments love to read, so Wu Weizhong also read "Hanshu" when he attacked Mudanfeng."

After speaking, Zhu Yijun said again: "Knowledge is good, and it is easier to grow from a soldier to a general."

As Zhu Yijun spoke, he suddenly thought of the Qi family army that was slaughtered by his own people in history, and thought that perhaps not only ordinary soldiers were slaughtered, but a large number of famous generals of the Ming Empire.

"Li Rusong!"

Zhu Yijun called out at this time.

Li Rusong hurriedly stepped forward: "The minister is here!"

"Hu Ben's left and right guards must also memorize the military regulations, and they must also be able to read and write!"

"You have to personally supervise! Organize a group of people who are born in martial arts or have attended health schools or private schools and can read and write to teach!"

Zhu Yijun said.

Li Rusong hurriedly cupped his hands and said Zunzhi.

Then, Zhu Yijun said to Hu Shouren: "Except for Jin Wu's left and right guards, who are Qi Qing's former troops, who don't need to supervise, the Habayashi left and right guards, Qing also needs to supervise more."

Hu Shouren also hurriedly said that he obeyed the order.

Then, Zhu Yijun said again: "In a few days, I will select seven people from Xingming Academy to serve as the six guards of the army, serve as experience and capital officers, and specialize in supervising this matter, and organize soldiers to set up a learning club to learn about loyalty to the emperor and the nation. The way to make them know who to fight for, and to organize them to provide opinions to me, you are not allowed to be dissatisfied! My personal guards, even ordinary soldiers, are also the guards of the emperor, and they are my soldiers, not yours. Households, except for training and fighting, cannot be forced to humiliate them like house slaves at will."

Hu Shouren and Li Rusong still bowed their hands and said yes.

They didn't dare to be dissatisfied, and they also understood the emperor's intentions. After all, the soldiers in the emperor's army should be different.

In the eyes of this era, even if there is a toilet next to the emperor, it is also because it is the toilet of the emperor, and it also has some dignity worthy of respect.

This kind of thinking is reflected in "Journey to the West". As long as a certain goblin was once by the side of the lord of heaven, even if it was a beast or a fish next to the lord of heaven, he would not be directly beaten to death by Monkey King.

As long as Zhu Yijun doesn't force them to respect his servants and soldiers from other systems as well.

In that way, they will feel that the emperor is messing around.

Only in this way, it will mean that the emperor's army and the local army are not in the same dimension.

But on the contrary, this is also the result Zhu Yijun wants to see.

Less gossip.

Not long after this, Zhu Yijun also formally conducted a personal examination on the seven orphans from military households adopted by him who were to be allocated by Xingming Academy in the Hall of Martial Arts.

The first class is Chinese.

Zhu Yijun asked Xu Wei to train these orphans mainly in Chinese writing, reading and analysis, and propaganda writing.

The questions that Zhu Yijun posed with Xu Wei in this way are also based on these three aspects.

In addition to Chinese, there are also subjects such as arithmetic, history and geography, and general knowledge.

It can be said that there are still many things to be investigated for these orphans.

But fortunately, most of the content is not difficult, and only a small number of difficult problems are used to select the good and the bad.

Therefore, the time spent on the exam is not much, and the exam will be completed in three days.

In the end, Zhu Yijun personally selected Tang Chuanxun, the son of Tang Kekuan, the general soldier who died in Gubeikou in the fourth year of Wanli, as No.1, and set up the six guards of the pro-army, and Tang Chuanxun was the manager of the department.

The remaining six orphans were ordered by Zhu Yijun to be assigned to each of the six guards as capitals according to their native places, responsible for teaching the soldiers about their political life and assisting their superiors in managing their military discipline.

"The people in the family are thin, and after my father died, there was no one to rely on for a while. Fortunately, the emperor's benevolence and care for the old minister left me in Huangzhuang to raise me, let me study, learn literature from Mr. Qingteng, and follow the old Therefore, Old General Lu learned martial arts, just like you, he became a member of the Tian family."

"So, it can be said that we are all a family, but we are just different, but in personality, you and I are all compatriots, the same robe, and even the same family! If you have any difficulties or ideas, you can tell me. "

Tang Chuanxun was joining the Six Guards of the pro-army, and on this day chatted with several new officers and soldiers of the Huben Left Guard.

Chen Ce, who had been selected as the Governor of Huben Zuowei, said at this time: "Yes, the higher-ups train according to the military regulations formulated by Marquis Qi, which is too strict. If you express your missing the hometown, you will be beheaded!"

Tang Chuanxun nodded and asked, "Tell me in detail."

"Yes!"

Chen Ce continued: "Now our Wei has three good soldiers because of this, but they are sentimental and cry, and because of the hard training, they cried at night and said they would go home, so I beheaded them, even though I was ordered not to go home." I don’t want to cut it, but I think it’s not worth it. I’m homesick, especially when I’m very tired during the day, and when I wake up in the middle of the night, who doesn’t want to miss my hometown, not to mention the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon!”

Tang Chuanxun nodded after hearing this, and then reported the situation to Zhu Yijun.

Although Qi Jiguang did clearly mention in "Ji Xiao's New Book" that if soldiers feel nostalgic, they will be beheaded.

But Zhu Yijun didn't know such details, and he didn't expect Qi Jiguang's military training to be so strict.

"Then change it to corporal punishment, so as not to cause rebellion because of excessive suppression of nature, then do push-ups or running that I asked you to promote; besides, the foundation of loyalty to the country is to love your hometown; but if you are too sentimental and often homesick, it will be aggravated." Punishment is really not enough, expel the pro-military guards, and regain the honor and treatment of the 'Emperor's Guards'."

After Zhu Yijun knew about it, he issued such a decree, and asked Tang Chuanxun: "Tell me how you preached to the soldiers those national concepts and why you should be loyal to the emperor in the pro-military guards. How can you be sure that they accept your ideas?" Mission?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the method of the minister is, I will tell them first, and then let them tell the minister respectively, and then make comments. The one who speaks the best will be rewarded, treat him to a meal, or give him a book." Books and so on, and those who can’t speak well continue to listen to the minister, and then tell the minister, and then comment.”

"It's like in Xingming Academy, when Qi Tishuai (Qi Changguo) taught us how to practice firearms, he first showed us, we showed them, then commented, and then repeated."

Tang Chuanxun said.

"You will draw inferences by analogy, but this is very good and worth promoting!"

"As expected of a famous general."

"Decree, give Tang Qing fifty silver dollars!"

Zhu Yijun said with a smile.

When Zhu Yijun's six guards of the emperor were training in full swing, the new policy of reforming the government and gentry to pay food and errands, as Zhang Juzheng expected, was discussed very intensely at the beginning, both inside and outside the court, so that many scholars in Beijing even They all went to the official residence to shout Zhang Juzheng, which caused heated discussions.

But now, it has gradually faded away.

Even, wait until the ninth year of Wanli comes.

It's as if everyone in the world doesn't know about it.

Many small and medium landowners have chosen to accept the reality.

"The officials and gentry pay the grain and do the errands, so the officials and the gentry pay the grain and do the errands. Is it because the officials and the gentry pay the grain and do the errands, so you don't take the championship?"

Even Wang Changgeng, who was born in the landlord class, said this to Liu Quexian at this time.

Liu Quexian smiled and said: "That's right! Otherwise, what else can we do? In fact, the imperial court also has difficulties. Nowadays, one out of every ten acres of land in the world belongs to the common people. Silver can be collected."

"You have always admired all of Zhang Jiangling's decisions. Now that you have fame, and your family has dozens of acres of land, it's still the same! It's just that you disagreed at the beginning, and now you speak for Jiangling. What is he doing? How much kindness have I given you to speak for him like this?"

At this time, Wang Changgeng couldn't help but vent his dissatisfaction with the New Deal on Liu Quexian.
