Waiting to be summoned outside the hall was a civil official wearing a seven-grade official robe, he looked at the hall from time to time, his expression seemed a little nervous, but his eyes were very resolute, and even with some determination.

If he could be resurrected when he lost his head, he would definitely recognize who this person wearing a seven-grade official robe was, but it was not his former house slave Wu Pinya, this former clothed slave, it was by virtue of the merits of the blade that he was reused, and was retained to appease the military department of the embassy.

"I hope it's still ...... hurry"

Just when Wu Pinya was talking to himself, the guard who had blocked him before said.

"Please come in!"

Although Zhu Mingzhong has the title of Jiangbei pacification envoy, everyone is still used to calling him "military gate", but as the seven-pin capital of the pacification envoy's military office, Wu Pinya said after entering the door.

"Wu Pinya, the capital of the military department, see the pacification envoy."

Even though there is a huge disparity between the official positions of the two, according to Ming etiquette, Wu Pinya, as an official, still does not need to kneel like Zhu Mingzhong. It wasn't until he came to this era that Zhu Mingzhong found that he was misled by the braid play, in China, which has not gone through more than 200 years of barbaric servitude in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there is no so-called "bone servility" on the body of the Chinese people, not to mention that the superiors and subordinates of the Ming Dynasty officials do not kneel, even when the ministers face the emperor, they are also not kneeling, they are the courtesies of the monarchs and ministers, and the courtesies of the monarchs and ministers are not kneeling, a few officials have seats, most of them stand facing each other, and there are those who stand outside the hall. The first time a person who has a seat or a seat gives him a seat answers the emperor's words, he must stand up and answer, and when he has finished answering, he can sit down. If the emperor asked him a second time, he would simply sit down and answer. Only on the occasion of worshipping heaven in the Fengtian Temple, the identity of the emperor is the Son of Heaven and not the king, and at this time the hundred officials have to kneel.

In fact, this is precisely the characteristic of the Han dynasty - you can kneel to me when I am the Son of Heaven, and you don't have to kneel to me when I am a king.

Although kneeling and bowing to China since ancient times, until the Tang Dynasty, the Han people have been kneeling and sitting, so in the case of the two sides kneeling and sitting relatively, kowtowing to each other is extremely common equivalent to the etiquette of greeting, and there is no sense of respect and inferiority, but due to the introduction of the chair and the Hu bed, from the Song Dynasty, the Han people gave up kneeling, so they no longer use kneeling, and the monarchs and ministers in the court can meet each other. But to the Mengyuan Dynasty, the Mongols regarded themselves as conquerors, and re-adopted kneeling worship, which began to have the meaning of respect and humility, although the monarchy of the Ming Dynasty was strengthened to a certain extent, and was influenced by the Yuan system, but kneeling was only used on more important occasions, and the ministers had to sit after worshipping four times, and the ministers still maintained human dignity. In the Manchu Dynasty, under the enslavement of the Manchu Dynasty, it came to the point of kneeling everywhere, and it seems that there is only one etiquette left for the Han people, that is, kneeling, the people see the officials to kneel, the subordinates to see the superiors to kneel, and the ministers to see the emperor, and they can only kneel. People have become slaves completely, even the ministers.

And this kind of barbarism in etiquette is precisely what Zhu Yuanzhang restored after recovering the Central Plains - Renyin in December of the fourth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang in view of the fact that "the military and the people salute, still follow the customs, drink banquets and wine, and mostly kneel and bow as a ritual", so he ordered the Zhongshu Province and the Ministry of Rites to appoint officials and people to bow and worship.

Because of this, Zhu Mingzhong adapted to the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty at a very fast speed, at least the etiquette of the Han people has no meaning of dignity and inferiority, let alone the meaning of humiliation, so it is easy to accept these etiquettes, just like in the face of Wu Pinya's long gesture of raising his hands and mouth, Zhu Mingzhong can raise his hands and answer in unison.

"Wu Pinya, I remember you, you are the one who has a strong hand!"

After returning the salute, Zhu Mingzhong looked at him and asked, for this person, in addition to knowing that he was the governor of Caoyun, he only heard that he was quite talented and learned, and he had made contributions to the capture of Qinghe, so he would stay in the army office and be used as an ordinary army. Of course, it also has the meaning of trial, if he is indeed available, Zhu Mingzhong will naturally use him.

Now, why did he come to see him? And so eager?

"Back to the pacification envoy, when the lower officials are in high hands, they are taking revenge for their fellow villagers in Henan, and this fang has killed millions of people in Henan, if you don't kill them, how can you comfort the souls of your fellow villagers!"

Wu Pinya once again emphasized the reason for his killing, he was never for personal honor or disgrace or glory and wealth. Even when he received the order to rescue Nanjing, he had already made up his mind, and he sank it into the canal on the boat and drowned it, so that Cao Ding was leaderless and could not rescue Nanjing.

"I heard before, you have to see the envoy, saying that there is something important to repay, but I don't know what is going on?"

In the current military department, there are no less than 30 people like him who have joined the army, and Zhu Mingzhong's attitude towards these people is very simple. Since he wanted to see himself, he must have something to report.

As for the question of the pacification envoy, Wu Pinya took a deep breath and said to Zhu Mingzhong's gaze.

"The pacification envoy forgives me, and the subordinate officials please appease the envoy, for the livelihood of the people in the world, and the "A soldier system" must not be implemented. ”

This time, Wu Pinya's long bow is over the top, and this heavy gift has the meaning of acting for the common people in the world.

But his words immediately caused a sensation in the lobby. So much so that everyone looked at him in amazement. I don't know where he learned about the "armor system".

"Wu joins the army!"

found that Qian Lei, who was attacking the "A Soldier System" as soon as this person entered the door, immediately said angrily.

"You are just a member of the military department, where did you learn about such secrets, the military gate, the subordinate asked the military judge to investigate this matter! With the right military law! ”

The perennial experience of being a master in the government has always affected Qian Lei, even now, opening his mouth is to put a hat on the other party first, so that he can be invincible.

And for Wu Pinya, of course he knows what military law is, but for the sake of the future of the Ming Dynasty, he can't help but say it, and he can't help but come, when he comes, he is ready to lose his head!

People always have to make some right choices, and he doesn't want to live like he used to be.

"Qian joined the army, although it was only a small seven-grade thing, but he was an official of the Ming Dynasty, and he couldn't see the "A Soldier System" disaster to the Ming Dynasty, and destroy it to appease the foundation, and ignore it, according to the military discipline of my loyal army, he was sentenced to three years, but Qian joined the army and did not destroy the draft of the secret text, but directly discarded it in the paper basket, leaked it with secrets, and be......headed it according to the law."

As a henchman and house slave when he was in a hurry, Wu Pinya is of course familiar with the set of officialdom, and framing and framing is something that must be learned as a house slave.

Although he is ready to lose his head, it does not mean that he will be restrained, he will also refute and resist.

As soon as he said this, Qian Lei thought that yesterday he just threw the draft in a random mess, and then discarded it casually, where he burned it and was caught with a sore foot, but he gasped again and again, and even a man appeared on his forehead.

When the others saw that Qian Lei, who was usually as smooth as a loach, fell into the hands of Wu Pinya, who looked inconspicuous, so easily, they all secretly screamed in their hearts that the person surnamed Qian had finally met his opponent.

"Hmph, you have to enter Qian's office immediately......

Just when Qian Lei was trying to save the game, Shi Lei, who saw that the two of them were about to diverge from the topic, saw that Junmen's brows were slightly furrowed, so he interjected.

"Junmen, in the opinion of the following officials, both of them are innocent, and the draft of Qian Joining's military report was not submitted as an official document, but as a draft, so both of them violated the law rather than breaking the law. Qian joined the army and did not stamp the "secret text" seal according to the regulations, nor did he destroy the waste text according to the regulations, and Wu Dushi was suspected of snooping, but it was not confidential, so the lower officials thought that he could be fined for one month. ”

As soon as Shi Lei was so muddy, Zhu Mingzhong noticed that this draft of the "A Soldier System" did not go through the normal channels of official documents, and did not stamp it with a "secret text" seal according to the "secret level" that he borrowed from later generations. This detail was obviously Qian Lei's negligence for a while, but it was good to save them from arguing anymore, so he said.

"Well, what Sishi said is extremely true, it is true, everything is not rigorous, and the two of you will be fined for one month!"

For such a punishment, Qian Lei dared to say that he was not convinced, and Wu Pinya, who had already come here with the intention of dying, was not the slightest dissatisfied, and he was not even ready to ask for his life, what were he still doing in silver?

"Wu Dushi, why do you say that for the sake of the world, abolish the "A soldier system". ”

Zhu Mingzhong stared at Wu Pinya and asked rhetorically, although he was a little resistant to some of the contents of the "A Soldier System", it did not prevent him from appreciating the "A Soldier System", which was a disguised conscription system, but it was more severe.

In particular, having learned about the dangers of the conscription system, we have long made up our minds to implement this system, and of course we need to improve it.

"Back to the pacification envoy, the lower officials did not think that the "A soldier system" was inappropriate, but thought that the current implementation of the "A soldier system" was absolutely impossible! ”

Wu Pinya's words made Zhu Mingzhong and the others stunned.

"Now it is absolutely impossible, but if the "A soldier system" is not implemented, where will the soldiers come from? Without soldiers and horses, how can you stop Dasu's 100,000 army? ”

Qian Lei, who was anxious to become "Liu Bowen in the world", asked anxiously. The reason why he is so anxious is because he has pinned all his life on this "armor system". Therefore, even if someone says that the implementation of the "armor system" will be suspended, of course he will not be happy.

That is, if the "armor system" is not implemented, how can we recruit soldiers? ”

One of the most fundamental reasons why people tend to the "A Soldier System" is that they are helpless when recruiting soldiers is not good, and of course, another reason is to save money - the "A Soldier System" does not need to pay military salaries. Recruiting 50,000 recruits in this way can save more than one million taels of silver a year, which is naturally a good thing for the loyal and righteous army, which is already short of money. If there are 500,000 or even one million soldiers, the advantages of this "first-class military system" will be fully revealed, because when the time comes, tens of millions of taels will be saved in military salaries every year. Of course, since then, there has been no more disadvantage of officials eating empty salaries.

But what if the "A soldier system" is implemented at the moment and causes local turmoil? ”

Facing everyone's questions, Wu Pinya said in a deep voice.

"At the moment, as far as the pacification envoy is concerned, Jiangbei has been decided, and the most important thing should be to appease the local people's hearts, not to turbulent the place.

Wu Pinya's rhetorical question made Zhu Mingzhong's brows frown slightly, indeed, for the people, the "A Soldier System" is evil government, even no less than shaving hair and easy to obey, it can be said that since the Tang Dynasty, there has not been a dynasty that has summoned the people's power in this way. But in order to defeat the Manchus, something had to be done. This "first-class military system" must be implemented.

Now 100,000 Qing captives are going south, and the people are already panicking, if the pacification envoys are also using the "A soldier system", I am afraid that the people's hearts will be even more turbulent. Furthermore, how can we implement the "first-class soldier system" within a month and recruit enough soldiers? ”

Even Qian Lei also agreed with his point of view, it does take some time to implement the "A soldier system", and it must not be done in a hurry.

"Alas! This matter could have been relieved, but the Qing captives went south, and Zhu had to strengthen his armaments to resist the Qing captives, this soldier is difficult to recruit, and he can't implement the "A soldier system", there are no soldiers! How can Zhu fight against the Qing captives? ”

Zhu Mingzhong, who realized that the immediate implementation of the "A soldier system" would encounter many resistances, and that it would not be effective at all for a while and a half, sighed. There is not so much time!

"Pacifier."

Taking a deep breath and looking directly at the appeaser, Wu Pinya said.

"Actually, there's a way to do it!"

Although he is a domestic slave, Wu Pinya, who is more often a staff member, knows very well that when he opposes a solution, he must come up with a solution to the problem, otherwise, it will only make the proprietor unhappy, so when he came, he had already thought of a temporary alternative to the "A Soldier System".

"Oh what's the idea, tell me about it?"

Looking at Wu Pinya, Zhu Mingzhong's body leaned forward slightly, and this posture revealed his state of mind at this time.

There are many obstacles to the implementation of the "A military system," and at least for the time being, when the foothold is not yet stable, it is not the best time to implement this military system.

Occasion!

No matter what policy is pursued, it needs a good opportunity. Even if they know that it is now necessary to implement the "armor system" in order to solve the problem of military resources. It is also necessary to wait for the timing. But until then, if there is a temporary alternative, it is not impossible to use it.

And next, Wu Pinya's suggestion made Zhu Mingzhong's eyes shine. Even Qian Lei felt that his method was more secure than his own, so naturally he did not object. However, it only took a moment for everyone to reach a consensus and accept Wu Pinya's more secure suggestion.

After everyone reached a consensus, Zhu Mingzhong pondered for a moment and then said.

"Now that the problem of this soldier source has been solved, there is still one problem left to solve!"
