Chapter 66: Honorable

For his son, Liu Xian didn't know what to say, he didn't say anything about bravery, it was better than when he was young, but Liu Xian didn't know how to say it with this character and brain. Fortunately, he was very disciplined in fighting, otherwise he would have wanted to be sent back to his hometown.

"You're not young anymore, take care of it, this time follow your father to Beijing to practice!"

"Yes, Dad!" Liu Wei didn't dare to mention the matter of his family, but he was still very happy, not to mention anything else, his wife has been at home in the past few years, and he really misses her a little, and it is good to enter the Beijing camp.

The news of His Majesty's decree to study the palace and perform martial arts spread far and wide, and this matter naturally set off a lot of momentum among the nobles.

If there are children in the school palace, they are naturally apprehensive and proud at the same time, and those who don't are a little hesitant, what does the emperor mean by this? The civil officials can't figure it out, but the attention to this matter is not low!

Everyone knows the place of the school palace, where the emperor learns literature and martial arts, but many people don't look down on it, especially civil officials.

Everything is inferior, only reading is high, what to do in martial arts, is it impossible to do Qiu Ba? However, those noble sons naturally don't care about these, and they naturally have to grasp the opportunity to be close to the emperor like this.

Early in the morning, all the qualified nobles came, and they gathered around the two leading princes, laughing and laughing with each other.

The nobles of the Ming Dynasty, of course, can be traced back to those who accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world, and those who set the world with Zuo Taizu were called "the founding of the auxiliary movement to promote the sincerity of Xuanli Wuchen" and "the founding of the auxiliary movement to guard the main text".

Those who raised troops from Chengzu said that "it is difficult to push the sincere Xuanli military ministers". Or it is said that "Fengtian Yiyun pushes sincerity and Xuanli" and "Fengtian Yiwei pushes sincerity and Xuanli Wuchen" or "Qincheng ancestral industry pushes sincerity and righteousness".

Among the dukes and earls, the military ministers are called Xuanli military ministers, and the civil ministers are called the Zhengwen ministers.

Those who receive iron coupons are hereditary knights, otherwise they are lords. If the seal is attacked, it will be returned, and the world will be approved and removed.

The title is hereditary, or demoted. Gong, Hou, and Bo are divided into four grades, and they can be in charge of the five prefectures and the six armies, and they can lead the general seal as the commander and governor, and they can govern the Caogang, but they are not allowed to pre-empt the affairs of the nine secretaries.

Such a provision also restricts the nobles from reaching out to the civilian officials, which can be said to limit the power of the military generals, which can be regarded as a kind of civil and military division system.

It's just that they limited the generals but failed to restrict the Wenchen, they stretched out their hands to the hearts of the generals and never died, after the Tumubao Change, these nobles fell, and the nobles could only be pressed by the Wenchen.

After the palace gate was opened, these nobles of the Ming Dynasty walked in from the outside to the inside.

Now there are five princes in the Ming Dynasty, and three in the capital, the Duke of England, the Duke of Dingguo and the Duke of Chengguo.

The first generation of the British Duke was Zhang Yu's son Zhang Fu, in fact, whether Zhang Yu was alive or dead, the title of British Duke had nothing to do with him.

In July of the first year of Jianwen, after Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai killed King Yan was leaked, Zhu Di raised troops to summon Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng to guard the palace. Later, he ordered to seize Beiping City, and the general Zhang Yu led his troops to attack the Nine Gates of Beiping by night and occupy Beiping City.

At the beginning of the Battle of Jingyan, Zhang Yu was a general under Zhu Di, and after the battle all the way, Zhang Yu died in battle.

In the Battle of Dongchang, Zhu Di attacked the east side of Sheng Yong, but unexpectedly entered an ambush circle and was surrounded by Sheng Yong during the breakout. Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng led their own soldiers to surround the southern army and rushed to the savior. Zhu Neng was responsible for saving Zhu Di. Zhang Yu was responsible for diverting the enemy army, and this lead did not come back.

Zhu Neng successfully rescued Zhu Di, but how could the red-eyed Southern Army be willing to cook the duck and fly, so they attacked Zhang Yu, and Zhang Yu died of exhaustion.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he called Zhang Yu the first hero of Jingnan, and posthumously awarded the title of Duke Rongguo and King of Hejian. The eldest son, Zhang Fuchu, sent a letter to Amber and Xinchenghou, and later replaced Zhu Neng, who died on the way, to lead tens of thousands of troops to quell the rebellion in Annan, and then canonized as the Duke of England.

The second generation of the Ming Dynasty can fight the nobles, and the British Gong Zhang Fu is definitely ranked very high, but the change of the civil fort is dead.

Zhang Fu is dead, you can imagine how heavy the casualties of other noble generals were, and the elite of the entire Ming Dynasty army can be said to be swept away. Since then, the military of the Ming Dynasty has never recovered.

As if his backbone was broken, although there are Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, there are many famous generals, but Qi Jiguang wants to call himself "Qi, the little dog under the door" to Zhang Juzheng, the coach is like this, how can the military raise his head.

Zhu Yijun stood on the city tower, watching the fish rush into the honor, his face expressionless.

In fact, at this time, Zhu Yijun's heart was surging, perhaps it would be more useful for the nobles to pick up the glory of their ancestors and establish a true aristocratic temperament to restore the dignity of the army. In this era, it is not easy to change the idea that everything is inferior but high in reading, and if you let talents flow to the army, this is the key.

Propaganda is very important, rewards are even more important, restore the sense of honor of the nobles, open up the promotion channels for ordinary soldiers to be promoted to the nobles, and transfer the merits of war to knighthoods, otherwise it will be difficult to stimulate the desire for war. When everyone in the world wants to win military exploits and become nobles, why worry about the army.

Changing the image of the nobles and shaping the sense of honor of the nobles is also the top priority.

If the nobles have always been like this, corrupt and despicable, rampant in the countryside, and amassing excessive wealth, such nobles can only be tumors, and they will not become nobles. Although the British aristocracy is also very fucked, Zhu Yijun feels that one thing is very useful, that is, the aristocracy goes to the battlefield.

Zhu Yijun is talking about the British aristocracy during the First World War, of course, many of them are blind, but Zhu Yijun wants to encourage this atmosphere in the Ming Dynasty.

His eyes fell on the current British Duke Zhang Rong, he is Zhang Fu's grandson, the first person among the nobles of the Ming Dynasty, the highest status, and the highest seniority, and the other princes should be polite.

By the side of the British Gong Zhang Rong, a sturdy man with his head held high was Xu Wenbi, the Duke of Dingguo, who was in the vein of Xu Zengshou. If Zhang Yu and Xu Zengshou are counted as one generation, Zhang Rong is the fourth generation, and Xu Wenbi is the seventh generation.

Xu Wenbi Longqing was knighted in the second year, leading the right army to the governor's mansion and the Taishi, and he was also a representative of the real power faction.

Among the three princes, the most virtual is Zhu Yingzhen, the duke of Chengguo, he is a descendant of Zhu Neng, but he has not yet become a knight, because he is too young and has not yet reached adulthood, and he is only twelve years old this year. Zhu Yijun was not polite, and sent him directly to the school palace.

The Chengguo Mansion is almost the same as he was at the beginning, orphans and widows, and his life is very difficult, but fortunately he has Zhang Juzheng's support.

Zhu Yijun is now ready to support Zhu Yingzhen, and has followed himself to learn and train since he was a child, and Zhu Yijun is ready to train him as a new generation of nobles in the Ming Dynasty.

Behind the two leading princes are other marquises, more than a dozen large and small.
