Chapter 706: The Ming Dynasty Soldiers Have Hope Again [Please Subscribe, Please Subscribe]
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw what Jin Yiwei sent back to him, it was about Yan Changqing's speech to a group of Confucian scholars at Wanmin Literary College today, as well as the secret transcript of the private conversation between Yan Changqing and Song Lian.
Zhu Yuanzhang also had a look of surprise on his face. He didn't know that Confucius was actually a fierce man who could compete with the overlord in martial arts.
However, judging from Song Lian's reaction and the fact that the person who said this was Yan Changqing, Zhu Yuanzhang estimated that this was probably true.
Think again, the Kong family was almost wiped out by him before.
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt that what a group of Confucian scholars had said before that "the current descendants of Confucius Saint's blood are all supported by the Jin and Yuan Dynasties in the past, and they are deceiving the world and stealing the name of Saint Kong" is not possible. it is true!!!
After all, Confucius was a peerless man who was able to push through, was braver than a tiger, and was good at archery!!!
And look at the children of the Confucius family who had done many evil things, committed extremely evil crimes, lived in a land of fish and meat, betrayed the country and sought glory, and were finally beheaded by him in accordance with the law. What kind of trash are they!!!
After reading it carefully, Zhu Yuanzhang threw the secret memorial aside.
As for what Yan Changqing and Song Lian said about compiling teaching materials and restarting the Confucian "Six Arts of the Gentleman", Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have any objections.
After all, most of today's Confucian scholars are indeed, as Yan Changqing said, unable to carry their shoulders, unable to lift their hands, unable to work hard on their limbs, unable to distinguish between grains, pale in face, and thin in stature, and they look like A wasteful Confucian scholar who indulges in excessive sexual desires.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also very unhappy with such useless Confucian scholars.
He liked what Yan Changqing said very much when he gave a speech to those Confucian scholars: "Empty talk will harm the country, but hard work will make it prosperous"!!!
What he needs are officials who can be down-to-earth and do practical things, rather than empty-talk officials who talk about empty and useless "Seven Zero Three" Saint principles all day long.
So if those Confucian scholars can, under the guidance of Yan Changqing and Song Lian, transform from the current talkers into down-to-earth people who do practical things in the future.
So it is not impossible for him to entrust important responsibilities to those Confucian scholars in the future.
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was about to take the other memorials and continue processing, he paused suddenly, and then looked at the commander of the Jinyiwei Commander Mao Xiang not far away and ordered:
"Go to Song Lian's house and tell him, 'Don't say anything you shouldn't say. Even if it is unofficial history, I don't want it to come from him'!!!"
Mao Xiang immediately bowed, raised his hands and saluted, saying:
"Yes, Your Majesty!!!"
Then Mao Xiang immediately turned around and went out, preparing to visit Song Lian's house in person.
After all, Song Lian, as the Minister of Rites, Kong Sigong, and the Hou Chang Jin Yiwei were really not qualified to send messages to Song Lian.
While Yan Changqing arranged for a group of Confucian scholars to receive the task of "educating the world", the civil servants and military generals were also busy with their respective tasks nervously and orderly.
After all, after the second great court meeting in the 16th year of Hongwu, many new tasks were added to both civil servants and generals.
Yingtian Mansion, Shangyuan County, Beijing Army Barracks, Wei Guogong Xu Da stood on the high commanding platform.
Under the stage was an army of 300,000 Beijing troops standing in order and formation.
Looking at Wei Guogong Xu Da standing on the high platform, the 300,000 soldiers of the Beijing army below all had a flash of doubt in their eyes.
[Is His Majesty planning another Northern Expedition?!!]
[It seems I have never heard of them talking about it!!!]
[But I guess the Northern Expedition is about to start again. After all, if it wasn’t the Northern Expedition, there would be no need to gather all of us!!!]
[Like the previous inventory of the number of acres of land in the world, Xi just mobilized and dispatched tens of thousands of Beijing troops!!!]
[I hope this time we can completely wipe out the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, so that we won’t have to continue the Northern Expedition in the future!!!]
[I wonder if the two traitors from the Kong family are still alive?!!]
[If you are still alive and find them on the battlefield, you will make a lot of money. Whether they are captured alive or beheaded, you can be granted an exceptional title!!!]
[I hope we can have such good luck this time!!!]
The 300,000 soldiers of the Beijing Army were all secretly guessing in their hearts the reason why they were all summoned this time, and the results of their guesses were basically that the imperial court might launch another Northern Expedition.
How do I put this guess? Half of it is right and half of it is wrong.
Half right, it's because Zhu Yuanzhang does have plans to make another northern expedition this year.
After all, Jinyiwei had been sent to investigate clearly before, and the remaining remnants of the Beiyuan royal court had indeed returned to the fishing sea.
Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely not give up unless the remnants of the Beiyuan Royal Court are completely eliminated.
Half of it was because Zhu Yuanzhang arranged the Northern Expedition after this year's summer harvest.
After the summer harvest is over and there is sufficient food and grass, Zhu Yuanzhang will start the Northern Expedition again.
It was only mid-March now, and there were still a few months before the summer harvest, so Zhu Yuanzhang would naturally not release the news so early.
As for the reason why Wei Guogong Xu Da has summoned 300,000 Beijing troops now, it is very simple. He is just preparing to select suitable soldiers from them and transfer them to become personnel responsible for the country's large logistics and transportation.
After all, there are hundreds of millions of kilograms of sea salt and hundreds of millions of kilograms of salted fish meat waiting for them in Haizhou City. School Disciple will receive it and then forward it to all parts of the world tomorrow.
After glancing at the 300,000 soldiers of the Beijing army below, Xu Da walked to the special super loudspeaker next to the general ordering platform.
A few years ago, Yan Changqing pointed out the loudspeaker, a gadget that can amplify his own voice, at the debate on "The Theory of Induction between Heaven and Man".
Immediately, many large and small loudspeakers appeared on the market.
In view of the unique amplifying effect of loudspeakers, the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Office also built several super loudspeakers in the military camp for daily training and propaganda purposes.
For example, the super loudspeaker in front of Xu Da at this moment has its main body made of lead and aluminum. The largest diameter of the speaker can reach three meters, the length is nearly five meters, the weight exceeds three thousand kilograms, and the effective distance of transmitting sound is more than ten meters. kilometer!!!
Basically, most of the 300,000 soldiers below can hear clearly when speaking in front of this super loudspeaker.
This is much more convenient than the previous method in which the general spoke on the general stage and then relayed the words spoken by the general through the messengers.
Xu Da took out a small loudspeaker with a diameter of 30 centimeters, then pointed it at the large loudspeaker with a diameter of three meters. After taking a deep breath, he shouted:
"Third! Army! Generals! Soldiers! Listen! Order!"
"Those who are over forty-five years old and have had three or more enemy beheadings since joining the army will be listed!!!"
The 300,000 soldiers of the Beijing army below looked puzzled, but they still followed the orders given by Xu Da.
Suddenly, among the 300,000 soldiers of the Beijing army present, there were about 30,000 soldiers who were over forty-five years old and had three or more records of beheading enemy troops since joining the army. walk out.
In other words, the soldiers who meet the requirements account for one-tenth of the total number of soldiers in the Beijing Army!
This proportion can be said to be already very high.
Looking at the tens of thousands of soldiers marching out, Xu couldn't help but nodded.
For candidates who can transfer to large logistics and transportation teams, in addition to age requirements.
After discussions over the past few days, they decided to add one more requirement, that is: since joining the army, they must have at least three or more records of beheading enemy troops!!!
Is this requirement difficult, after all, if you start joining the army in your teens or twenties?
So until he was transferred to active duty at the age of forty-five, the soldiers could be said to have served as soldiers for a full twenty or thirty years.
In these two or thirty long years, as long as he does not die on the battlefield.
Even if one record of meritorious deeds of enemy beheadings is obtained in ten years, it is enough to obtain three or more records of meritorious deeds of enemy beheadings in twenty or thirty years.
But again, this requirement is not easy to say.
Today, the Ming Dynasty is still at the beginning of its founding. Not to mention that the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who have fled deep into the northern border have not yet been completely wiped out. Even the prefectures and counties of the Ming Dynasty still have bandits who are escaping and committing crimes.
Therefore, with these numerous and active "enemies", the Ming Dynasty soldiers can easily obtain three or more enemy beheading records.
But when the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were completely wiped out, the gangsters who jumped out of windows and committed crimes in various places in the Ming Dynasty were also slowly suppressed.
In the future, if Ming soldiers want to obtain three or more records of beheading enemy troops, it will not be so easy.
By then, if the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty want to obtain three or more records of beheading enemy troops, they must seize every opportunity to go to the battlefield and work hard to kill the enemy troops.
And when everyone in the Ming Dynasty was trying their best to kill the enemy in order to obtain three or more records of beheading enemy troops.
Then these soldiers will naturally form a tiger and wolf force that regards the enemy as prey, and at the same time, this army will become a tiger and wolf army with truly powerful combat effectiveness!
And if the tiger and wolf division with such a powerful combat power is in the hands of the noble Marquis of the Military General, then even if the world is peaceful in the future, the Marquis of the Military General will not be squeezed out or suppressed too much by the civil servants.
In the court, the voice can be louder and the confidence is stronger.
Thinking of this, Xu Da shook his head slightly, shook away the distracting thoughts in his heart, and spoke loudly again:
"Your Majesty is merciful and cannot bear to see us Ming soldiers live in the military camp and die in the military camp!!!"
"Therefore, the retirement age regulations for Ming soldiers are specially modified!!!"
"From today on, all officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who are over forty-five years old and have three or more beheading records since joining the army can voluntarily apply for transfer to a military service under the same name of the national court. The large logistics and transportation team will become a member responsible for escorting, transporting and distributing state-owned materials in the future!!!"
"After transfer, the national court will arrange for you to become a member of the local or nearby large logistics and transportation team responsible for escorting, transporting and distributing state-owned materials based on your household registration or where your family currently lives!!!"
"At that time, you can go home to visit your parents and children at least once a month; at most, you can go home to visit your parents and children several times a month!!!"
"At the same time, the amount of monthly salary you receive as a soldier will remain unchanged after you transfer to active duty. It may even increase based on your future performance in large-scale logistics and transportation work!!!"
"Then, I worked in a large logistics and transportation team until I was sixty years old, and then I retired completely!!!"
"To put it bluntly, His Majesty cannot bear to see me still fighting on the battlefield after I am forty-five years old!!!"
"So after consulting with Shang Sheng Fan Bai, we arranged a job that will allow us to enjoy our old age, reunite with our families frequently, and share family happiness!!!"
"Of course, if you are over forty-five years old and have had three or more beheadings since joining the army,
If a soldier with a record of honors is still interested in fighting on the battlefield and fighting for his military exploits to become a marquis, he can also stay in the military camp and continue to go to the battlefield to fight the enemy bravely!!!"
"After that, if you change your mind and want to switch to a large logistics and transportation team, you can choose to switch again in the coming year!!!"
"As for other soldiers who are not over forty-five years old and have three or more beheadings since joining the army, they need to continue to wait!!!"
"Every year from now on, the Fifth Military Governor's Office and the Ministry of War will conduct a large-scale review of officers and soldiers who are over forty-five years old and have three or more meritorious service records since joining the army.
Logistics and transportation team transfer registration arrangements!!!”
After Xu Da said these words, all the soldiers present fell into silence...
After quite a while, one voice after another sounded in disbelief from the crowd of soldiers who had just come out:
"Can we really switch to that big logistics and transportation team now?!!"
"Will we be arranged to be a member of the local or nearby large logistics and transportation team responsible for escorting, transporting and distributing state-owned materials?!!"
"I can even go home to visit my parents and children at least once a month in the future?!!"
"Not only will our salary remain unchanged, but it may even increase in the future?!"
Looking at the unbelievable soldiers 0.8, Xu Da nodded solemnly and affirmed:
"On the honor of Wei Guogong, I assure you that everything I just said is true!!!"
After receiving another affirmative reply from the Duke Xu Da, those soldiers who met the requirements for transfer to the large logistics and transportation team could no longer suppress the joy on their faces and were excited.
Dong roared:
"Your Majesty is merciful!!!"
"Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!!!"
"I am willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty, even if my body is shattered to pieces, no matter what it takes!!!"
The excited roars and shouts of tens of thousands of soldiers almost resounded throughout the entire military camp.
As for the other soldiers of the Beijing army who had not met the requirements temporarily, Shi Xi looked at them with envy.
After all, who doesn’t want to have a job where they can enjoy their old age in peace, where they can go home several times a month, and where their salary is not reduced, but may even increase!!
!
However, while they are envious and jealous, the remaining more than 200,000 Kangjun soldiers also have renewed expectations for their future days.
The military camp that originally looked like a cage in their eyes was suddenly opened by someone at this moment, and they told themselves that after a while, they could also escape from here.
Get out of the gap.
Thinking of this, the remaining more than 200,000 soldiers in the capital suddenly felt that their future days in the military camp would not be so difficult.
And things like this not only happened in the capital, but also happened in various military posts, Jiubian important towns and other places in the Ming Dynasty.
