The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 376 The future of military honor!
Tang Hao's eyes were deep.

During the Ming Dynasty, civil officials were respected and military officials were despised. Civil officials suppressed military officials. Even in military affairs, it was civil officials who led the troops. When a battle was won, it was the civil officials who were given glory.

Because of this, there was no war or chaos that occurred in other dynasties.

But the price paid for this was the breakdown of military discipline and the slackness of the army. Military generals and men of war would never have a chance to rise to the top. Even a good warrior like Qi Jiguang had to go through many ups and downs and was not valued by the court. The Ming Dynasty always huddled within the Great Wall and hid behind the border wall, watching helplessly as the barbarians on the grasslands plundered and harassed at will and slaughtered the people in the border towns!
This is the painful price paid for intellectuals ruling the country!

The political system in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was undoubtedly deformed and ridiculous.

After Emperor Chenghua tried to weaken the power of civil officials and consolidate the imperial authority, Zhu Zhongxing chose "the emperor and the literati rule the world together". All the efforts of Emperor Chenghua throughout his life were wasted. The civil officials and gentry once again made a comeback and controlled the government. After Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne in history, he began his absurd and suicidal path. He tried his best to suppress the civil officials and gentry, and tried his best to support military generals and nobles. In the end, he collapsed, or was killed by them.

The Ming Emperor was easily dissolved in water, and it started with Zhu Houzhao.

After Zhu Houzhao, the Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houzhao could have revived the Ming Dynasty and defeated a number of civil officials and gentry with his personal imperial skills. Unfortunately, he did not have such lofty ambitions and only wanted to cultivate immortality, which eventually led to the complete collapse of the Ming Dynasty.

After Jiajing, the Ming Dynasty became a place where civil officials were respected and military officials were despised. Civil officials and gentry completely controlled power and government, and there was no chance for military officials and nobles to rise to prominence!

Now, my arrival has obviously broken this rule.

Thanks to the efforts of the Marquis of Zhongshan, the Beijing army regained its combat effectiveness and repeatedly went into battle with great success. As a result, a series of capable generals such as An Guo, Ma Yong and Deng Boyan were trained.

The arrogant and brave generals have already begun to reveal their true nature!
For example, in today's incident, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the captured spoils should be distributed by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue and other civil officials. As for how much will actually fall into the hands of the soldiers in the end, it is unknown.

But An Guo, Ma Yong and Deng Boyan just refused to give it to us. Even if you do it in the name of His Majesty the Emperor, we still won’t give it to you!

If you have the guts, send someone to ask for it!
Come and chop them down one by one!
After you die, you will be given the title of "martyr for the country"!

This is what is called a proud and brave general!

They have their own pride, which cannot be trampled upon by anyone!
Not to mention the civil officials and gentry, even His Majesty the Emperor cannot do that, unless you bestow a reward commensurate with the military merits!
And as Tang Hao moves forward step by step, this phenomenon will only become more and more serious.

Of course, before it reaches a certain level, it will only be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty.

After all, moderate civil and military disputes are much better than endless factional strife!

The struggle between Yan Song's strict party and the clean party in the Jiajing Dynasty, the struggle between Zhang Juzheng's reformists and conservatives in the Wanli Dynasty, and the famous Donglin Party...

Tang Hao felt disgusted when he thought of these literati and gentry who shouted empty slogans but brought harm to the country and the people!
It can be foreseen that after the end of this war, the group of nobles who have been living a life of idleness and waiting for death due to their great achievements will usher in a fresh influx of blood.

A group of bloodthirsty wolves are about to break into a group of sheep!
When he thought of that scene, Tang Hao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

However, this is far from enough. The inheritance of military generals and nobles has not yet been found, and the establishment of a central military academy must be put on the agenda.

Only by establishing a central military academy to continuously train qualified and outstanding military generals for the Ming Dynasty, just as the civil officials and gentry continuously obtained fresh blood from the imperial examination system, can we ensure that the Ming Dynasty has generals in charge from generation to generation and will not fall into the embarrassing situation of having no generals available and difficulty continuing its prosperity!

The Ming Dynasty's noble system, apart from the nobles of the royal family and the nobles of the external relatives, was mainly composed of the three ranks of duke, marquis and earl.

These three ranks of nobility are divided into two categories: nobility of the rank of the official nobility and hereditary nobility. Nobility of the official nobility is naturally a title that cannot be passed down to future generations, and is generally a newly promoted earl. For example, Xianning Earl Qiu Yue, before he was promoted to Xianning Marquis, this Xianning Earl was a nobility of the official nobility.

As for Spyker, it is natural that it is passed down from generation to generation and prospers with the country. This is also the main body of the current Ming Dynasty noble group.

Only by obtaining a hereditary imperial decree can one truly be said to have entered the group of nobles and be able to pass on the title to one's descendants.

Among this group, those who were awarded titles for founding a country and assisting its fortune are the most honorable, but unfortunately their numbers are also the rarest.

There were only one or two families of founding nobles who escaped the bloodbath at the end of the Hongwu period.

Secondly, there are the nobles who participated in the Fengtian Jingnan Campaign. They are the largest number of nobles still in existence. Due to the deliberate suppression by the civil officials and gentry, most of them have become parasites who live a life of idleness and wait for death!
Of course, as time goes by, the influence of this unspoken rule has almost disappeared.

Now, a group of new nobles have emerged in the Ming Dynasty, namely the Beijing military nobles headed by Zhongshan Marquis Tang Hao, and others such as Linjiang Marquis Ma Yong, Jining Marquis Deng Boyan, Jiangxia Marquis Xu Tianci, Wuan Marquis Chang Kuohai, Yingchang Marquis Tang Mu and others!
This group of Beijing military nobles are in their prime, at the peak of their powers and able to fight. So no matter whether they are noble nobles or hereditary nobles, or of any rank, this force, once it breaks into the lifeless group of nobles, will undoubtedly open a new chapter for the Ming Dynasty court.

After all, Tang Mu, Chang Kuohai and others are not comparable to those founding heroes and Jingnan heroes who just eat and wait for death, or those playboys and wastes who live on the glory of their fathers.

Each of them is a real entrepreneur with numerous military achievements and outstanding combat exploits. They are undoubtedly a group of brave warriors!
With the addition of this force, Tang Hao will no longer be isolated and helpless in the court.

As for the right to speak in the court, it depends on confidence and power.

But now, the rise of military honors is an inevitable trend, and we are full of confidence!
Not to mention that they have the full support of His Majesty the Emperor behind them!
So, what's wrong with me being a little arrogant?
Tang Hao chuckled and burned An Guo's secret letter.

This is the best of times.

The Ming Dynasty's military achievements declined and there was no successor.

Emperor Zhu Houzhao was determined to revive the Ming Dynasty.

That's why he was given the opportunity, Tang Hao, to lead troops into battle and establish merit.

If it were Zhu Zhongxing, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Tang Hao would have no chance of leading troops into battle. As long as he dared to show his head, he would be suppressed by the civil officials and gentry. The key point is that Zhu Zhongxing would even speak for the civil officials and gentry, which is very disgusting.

"Order the three armies to rest for three days and then march to Kaiping!"

"Once we capture Kaiping and join forces with the Hetao Army, this battle will be declared over and we will be victorious!"

After a long and fierce battle, the soldiers of the three armies were quite exhausted.

Not just physically, but mentally as well.

After all, one can imagine how traumatic the killing of the elderly, the weak, women and children is to the mind and spirit.

Now hearing the commander-in-chief's order, the war will soon be over, and the soldiers of all armies are all smiling and cheering.

They are really tired!
