Chapter 599 Zhu Houcong: Rebellion!!!

[Before and after the great victory in Taizhou, that is, from the spring of the 1560th year of Jiajing to the autumn of the 1561th year (-), Qi Jiguang summarized his experience in training troops and fighting against Japanese pirates during many years of fighting and compiled the "New Book of Jixiao". ]

[“The word ‘record of effect’ means that it is not just empty talk; the word ‘new book’ means that it is based on the law but not bound by it, and is appropriate for the time being.”]

[Qi Jiguang wrote this book with the spirit of being pragmatic and seeking innovation.]

[This book was originally compiled in 14 volumes, but after the victory in Taizhou, new content was added and it was expanded to 18 volumes.]

[There are two chapters of "Gong Yi" at the beginning of the volume as a general introduction, and "Ji Xiao Huo Wen" is written in the form of questions and answers to answer the soldiers' questions.]

[The main text consists of six volumes, namely, ritual, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics, with a total of 18 chapters.]

[The book discusses in detail everything from selecting soldiers to training tactics, and is clear and easy to understand.]

[The most important thing is that it is extremely practical and is a classic masterpiece in ancient Chinese military history. ]

……

{Of the ten great military books, Comrade Lao Qi has two! He alone accounts for one fifth of the total. I won’t elaborate on how important this is.}
{The guiding ideology of "Treatise on Military Training" and "New Records of Military Effectiveness" is to train soldiers, improve weapons, and coordinate military forces. Does it look familiar?}
{Isn’t this the guiding ideology of modern military affairs?}

{It is a pity that the thinking of people in that era was rigid, not confrontational. Otherwise, if Qi Jiguang's military strategy had continued to develop, it would have been incredible.}
{So he is very powerful, he is powerful in a higher dimension.}
{Qi Jiguang's books can mass-produce generals. These two are more like manuals than military tactics, and very detailed manuals at that.}
{Otherwise, the protagonist who travels through time and space always likes to use "Jixiao Xinshu" (dog head) to open a reasonable strategy.}
……

Big man.

Liu Bang restrained the smile on his face and looked at the sky with a solemn expression.

Qi Jiguang's level is absolutely top-notch.

It is hard to say whether he can surpass Han Xin, but he is definitely not inferior to Han Xin.

Who doesn't know how to command an army? It's just commanding in battle.

But how to build a strong and unyielding army is the real skill of a military strategist!

"What do you think of me training a soldier this way?"

Liu Bang had a sudden idea!

Speaking of common goals, the Huns are also a target.

Lü Zhi smiled and nodded:
"Okay, you pay for it yourself."

Liu Bang paused for a moment and said slowly:
"Nai Gong, you think that each generation should do its own thing, so let Heng Er take the credit for this achievement!"

"Alas, my posthumous title is already high, and these few achievements are useless."

"He needs it..."

Liu Bang looked up at the sky at an angle of 40 to 50 degrees and said sadly:

"In this way, people in the future won't just say that Heng'er's martial arts skills are slightly inferior."

Lu Zhi frowned with obvious disgust.

"Liu Ji, you always make me know you all over again."

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
"Your Majesty, do you want to practice?"

“Practice!”

Liu Che waved his hand!
The decision has been made!
rich!

practice!
……

Ji Han.

Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang.

"Kong Ming..."

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, then looked at Cao and Sun.

The frown relaxed.

"Liang has a plan!"

……

Period of Jihan and Emperor Huai

Liu Chan, who was holding a pen, blinked and then turned pale with shock!

"Father! It doesn't mention the contents of the military book!"

Zhuge Liang, who had originally felt somewhat relieved, fell silent again.

Didn’t I teach you the art of war?

Taught?
"Your Majesty, I have already said this before."

Liu Chan was shocked again.

"You said it? When?"

Didn't they just say something about rewards and punishments? They didn't say anything specific!

Zhuge Liang made the decision.

He wants to add a class!

The emperor may not be able to fight a war, but he must understand how to fight a war!
……

Tang Xuanzong Period
Li Longji put his hands on his hips and laughed wildly towards the sky!
"Hahahahaha!"

I was originally worried about what to do with the Tang Dynasty’s military system!
How can we maintain the conscription system while ensuring that soldiers maintain their combat effectiveness and do not commit crimes?

Isn’t this the solution?

Such a long-term strategy...

Li Longji looked at the sky, his smile gradually faded, and he muttered to himself.

"Qi Jiguang, ah Qi Jiguang, it's a pity that you are not a minister of the Tang Dynasty."

Thinking of the ending of Qi Jiguang, which was mentioned on the sky curtain, there was a bit of regret in his words.

"Otherwise, the position of Marquis belongs to you!"

"I've already thought of a name."

"Just call me Wu Xian..."

Li Mi's expression showed a hint of emotion.

Wu Xian...

Did you think of Wen Xian Gong? ...

[May of the 1562st year of Jiajing ()

Censor Zou Yinglong impeached Yan Song's son Yan Shifan for indulging in alcohol and sexual pleasure while in mourning for his mother.

[On the 19th of that month, Zhu Houcong issued an imperial decree: Yan Shifan was imprisoned, and Yan Song himself retired.]

【Xu Jie was then promoted to the position of Prime Minister.】

【Later, Xu Jie sentenced Yan Shifan to death on charges of marrying the Japanese pirate Wang Zhi, contacting the vassal king Zhu Dianliang, and amassing troops and weapons with the intention of rebellion or fleeing to Japan.】

【Zhu Houcong approved it immediately.】

[As a result, Yan Shifan was killed, and Yan Song's family was confiscated of more than 10,000 taels of gold, more than 2 million taels of silver, and a large number of rare treasures.]

【Yan Song himself had no choice but to live in a cemetery and ancestral hall, and died two years later.】

……

Ming dynasty.

Old Zhu, whose expression had originally relaxed, frowned again.

"If you have a target, use it well!"

"Why do you keep changing the target?"

Zhu Yuanzhang now dislikes Jiajing.

Queen Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was pure-hearted and prejudiced, and smiled helplessly:.

"It is clear that it is based on the law but not bound by the law, and it is appropriate to take measures at the right time."

"Why do you turn a blind eye to his situation?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent.

He understood, for some reason.

It was difficult for the Ming Dynasty system to be creative. If officials wanted to protect themselves or make a difference, the first thing they needed to do was to find a way to gain the trust of the emperor or his favorites.

This is what is meant by “the ruler is the leader of his ministers”.

It can be said that the prime ministers in heaven all understood the emperor's psychology.

Then the policies will be implemented according to the emperor's ideas, either loudly or subtly.

That is why they can occupy the center for a long time without being replaced.

However, if this continues for too long, the emperor will not allow it.

It is only natural to get rid of the old and bring in the new.

"Ugh……"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed dejectedly.

Is it really possible that the prime minister system cannot be abolished?

He didn't believe it.

There will definitely be a solution in the future!
If there really isn't one... then it's not impossible to keep the position of prime minister.

……

On the canopy.

Sitting on a Bagua-shaped platform.

Zhu Houcong, wearing a black Taoist robe with gold patterns and a wreath on his head, sat cross-legged.

"Your Majesty, the congratulatory letter has arrived..."

An eunuch kneeled before the emperor's cushion.

In both hands he held high a document signed with indigo leather.

Zhu Houcong slowly opened his eyes, loosened his hands that were pinching the Dharma fingers, and picked up the memorial.

"A memorial on public security, respectfully submitted by Hai Rui, the official in charge of the Yunnan Lisi Division of the Ministry of Revenue"

There was a faint smile on the emperor's lips.

"Wow."

When the memorial was opened, a line of neat regular script caught my eye.

"To speak frankly, the most important thing in the world is to rectify the way of the monarch, clarify the duties of the ministers, and pray for peace and order for all eternity!"

Zhu Houcong's smile froze.

He read it word by word.

With every glance, his expression grew darker.

"…The world speculated that the name of the reign title changed by Your Majesty was Jiajing, which means that every household was clean and had no money to spend…"

Zhu Houcong's face twitched and he turned to the next page with trembling hands.

Then his face turned from blue to white, and his eyes showed a fierce light!
That line of ink words directly broke through his sanity.

"However, after Yan Song was dismissed from his post, the world was still the same as before Yan Song became prime minister. It was not a great and bright world, and it was far inferior to that of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty."

"People in the world have long disobeyed Your Majesty, and this is known to the officials both inside and outside the court."

"boom!"

The memorial in his hand fell to the ground as if it was about to break into pieces!
The emperor's roar echoed throughout the hall:
"Inverted!!!"

……

【At this time, the border defense situation was very good. Tan Lun, Qi Jiguang, and Yu Dayou in the southeast fought hard all the way and finally completely wiped out the Japanese pirates.】

[Under the defense of Ma Fang and others, the north repeatedly defeated the Mongol invasion.]

【But the country’s situation remains critical. 】

[Large-scale civil unrest broke out in the southwest and south, and natural disasters also entered a period of high incidence.]

[However, the Ming Dynasty's long-standing corruption in officialdom remained unchanged. Officials were constantly corrupt and inefficient, and the people were heavily taxed and impoverished.]

In February of the 1566th year of the Jiajing reign (), Hai Rui, the director of the Yunnan Division of the Ministry of Revenue and a famous honest official, submitted a memorial on public security that shocked the world.
