golden scales

Zhu Cihong might not be late in the first place, but it happened that Song Hongye sent news of the three camps, which delayed him for quite a while.Thanks to this news, he did not let him prematurely announce the acceptance of the three battalions at today's military meeting, so as not to make a fool of himself in the future.

Today's three major battalions have only one empty shelf left.

The military system of the Ming Dynasty was characterized by hereditary military households, farming in peacetime and fighting in wartime, combining soldiers with farming, and self-sufficient.

When the country was first established, the military position was higher than the civilian position, and being included in the military household was also a wishful thing, and it was by no means that anyone who wanted to be naturalized could be naturalized.However, times have changed, civil servants have turned over, military careers have no future, and they have occupied the guards and farmland to become rich.Those military households not only had to undertake military obligations, but also became serfs of the officers, who had to farm land and pay food for the officers of the guards, which was extremely miserable.

In this way, fleeing is a matter of course.

The Weisuo system was the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's military system. There were many escapees, ranging from the small Weisuo to the large Dusi, and even the Beijing Camp. The immediate problem was the lack of soldiers.

It doesn't matter if it is a weekday, anyway, the food and salary are paid in full, and the fewer soldiers, the more officers will be paid.Once it's time for inspection, the officers will find a group of "temporary workers" from the market, put on a show with weapons, and go through the motions.When the Shangguan left, these soldiers also disappeared.

Most of the military officers in the Beijing camp are subordinates of the princes of the state. I heard that Duke Cheng's family was stricken by the plague.They were all seasoned fried dough sticks, so they immediately recruited short-term laborers from inside and outside the city, and promised to hand over as much money as possible to the crown prince.

As long as the crown prince takes over, these people will naturally go back to each house to find their own mothers. As for the vacant troops, that is the business of His Royal Highness.

If you change to a foreign official who is knowledgeable, you will get a share of the profit and get through this job safely.

If he is an ignorant person, then the deserter escaped at his hands, and it is easy to be charged with the crime of "harsh abuse, no virtue and no respect for everyone".If it happens that the Beijing camp has lost another battle, you can also take advantage of the situation and let him live idle for ten years to see if the emperor can remember him.

Li Banghua is a typical example of ignorance.

Of course, the prince will not make the mistake of "not being impressed by everyone", but "harsh torture" has not reached the red line, which can completely make Shilin and folklore a thing.It also paves the way for the future, who knows if the emperor will prefer King Yong or King Ding in the future?

After Cheng Guogong's family suffered a catastrophe, the other princes and relatives inevitably felt a little bit sad.And the source of it is the Crown Prince of the East Palace. It is definitely a good thing to be able to change to a gentle and easy-to-fool prince.

"Your Highness, if you don't arrest those temporary servants, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to Your Majesty in the future." Liu Ruoyu said worriedly.

Zhu Cihong would definitely not submit inconsistent reports. Even if someone escapes in the future, he can only find someone else to make up for it, which is tantamount to suffering the loss of being dumb.The problem of one or two people is not enough. If there are thousands, it is not only a problem of loss, but also a problem of explaining to the outside world about the private expansion of the number of troops.And once this problem is revealed, how to explain the original full quota?

Do you admit that you have been tricked?

Isn't this a slap in the face, and I still want to take pictures and publicize it?

It's not enough to be ugly!

Zhu Cihong sat quietly for a quarter of an hour, and said: "Quan Dang didn't know about this, let's not discuss the issue of incorporating into the Beijing camp for now, let's determine the military rank first."

Liu Ruoyu really let go of what he raised. Seeing the prince speaking so calmly, he knew that His Highness was confident, so there was no need to worry about such ghostly tricks.

In fact, Zhu Cihong sat quietly for a quarter of an hour, not thinking about how to catch bugs, because that was really not a problem.

He was thinking about how to teach those two restless princes a lesson and let them figure out who they are playing with.

But after all, the other party is a generation of princes, and there are many former disciples in the army and court, and now is really not the time to fight head-on with them.Judging from Yao Tao's book, the price of rice and meat and eggs in the capital has risen quite a bit. This is obviously because the Donggong guard camp has affected the small-scale economic environment.

If those dukes seize this opportunity and go along with the flow to fight an economic battle with the crown prince, maybe they will really strangle the neck of the East Palace and weaken the daily supply of the guard camp.

Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong couldn't help but heighten his vigilance. He urgently needs to find a base that suits him, to gain a foothold, so that he can take root.In contrast, where to choose this base area is more important than how to get there.

Zhu Cihong looked at the clock on the stand, got up and said, "Let's discuss with the army first." He put these questions aside for the time being, changed into his military uniform, and walked straight to the White Tiger Hall.

The white tiger belongs to the west and has the meaning of conquest.The White Tiger Hall was set up outside the East Palace, which was used to hold military meetings. All soldiers' materials, military books and battle books were also stored in the side hall of the White Tiger Hall.

Zhu Cihong arrived at the door and signaled to fire the cannon.There were only three rumbles, and the voices in the White Tiger Hall were so lonely that no one even heard them panting.

Holding the saber in one hand and his waist in the other, the prince strode in.

All the officers stood up, stood upright, performed military salutes, and displayed their ranks.

Zhu Cihong stepped up the steps, sat on the main seat under the white tiger wall, pressed his hands lightly, motioned for the generals to sit down, and said, "Do you have any suggestions for the discussion of military rank?"

It is routine in the military to speak out, not to mention that the time to collect suggestions has long passed, who would have anything to say at this moment?There was silence at the moment, Zhu Cihong nodded slightly, and said: "Since this is the case, officers and non-commissioned officers of all ranks will be awarded military ranks according to the corresponding military positions in the manual. It's just that one person must be awarded first, and on the day of the award, he will be assigned the rank of the generals."

Everyone was surprised when they heard the words, they didn't expect that there would be such an honor.The sound of clothes shaking came from a corner of the hall.Those are Qingshan doctors.It is absolutely impossible for officers who have undergone strict military training to commit such a misdemeanor.

"Mr. Yu Chang, please come forward." Zhu Cihong stood up and said loudly.

Yu Chang's heart trembled when he heard this, and he thought to himself: It's already an accident that I was invited to participate in the military meeting today, why is it still my business to confer the title in advance?

The green-shirted doctors whispered among themselves, making more surprised noises than before.

Zhu Cihong pursed his lips and smiled, he just wanted to let this kind of accident deeply imprint in the hearts of everyone.

"During the epidemic prevention, Mr. didn't take off his clothes for more than ten days, and gradually lost weight, which is really a kind hand." Zhu Cihong praised: "At the same time, he widely taught in Qingshan medicine, imparting the secrets of various schools, so that the foolish will be wise, and the wise will be enlightened. Reasonable, how can mortals know the merits and virtues? I am afraid that it is difficult to escape the soldiers if I am ordered to command the army's capital camp alone. I am afraid that the lives of all of you here are only in the hands of Qingshan doctor. Therefore, the honor of this first honor must be honored by Mr. have to!"

Yu Chang hastily bowed and said: "I have no merits, how can I win the honor of the generals! Your Highness praised and killed the humble minister."

Zhu Cihong ignored it, and said in a vibrating voice: "This order: Imperial Physician Yu Chang of the Taiyuan Hospital, admirals of military doctors from all over the country, establish a military hospital, confer the rank of general, and give bullfighting uniforms."

This decree clarifies that Yu Chang's job is the imperial physician of the Taiyuan Hospital, his authority is to supervise the military doctors, establish military hospitals, his title is the next general, and his grace is to wear bullfighting uniforms.

Although the bullfighting suit was a special gift from the prime minister, and it was considered a great honor to receive such a gift, what really excited Yu Chang was the authority given to him by His Highness the Crown Prince.With this authority, he can justifiably promote his ideas and realize his own life value.

Taking another step back, Yu Chang was too excited to be promoted to the rank of general.He knew very well the organization of the Eastern Palace Guards Battalion. Even Xiao Mo, the No. 1 military official, was only a colonel, not a general.And he has never even touched a knife or gun, and he even named him a general. It is undoubtedly that the prince is fulfilling the promise of the day, which gave him great affirmation.

"I would like to obey the order!" Seeing that the order was issued, Yu Chang could no longer refuse, so he could only accept the order and thank him with tears in his eyes.

A group of military officials watched with heartbeat, but no one dared to be jealous.Everyone knows that a knife and a gun have no eyes, and if they really want to go to the battlefield in the future, they must point to the military doctor for help.Anyway, these military doctors don't have soldiers in their hands, and they don't know how to take credit, so it's reasonable to treat them politely.
