"Father! The grandson will one day cut off the little prince's head! Perhaps only in this way can I reproduce the bravery of my British Mansion! It is worthy of being a family of Jiangmen! ”

When sacrificing the ancestral hall of the Zhang family, Zhang Lun still couldn't forget the little prince mentioned by Zhu Houzhao many times in class, which left a great impact on the young man, he has always been a proud person, and the Ming Dynasty is a country that makes him extremely proud, after all, this is the dynasty that his ancestors have made great contributions to.

And now, a person named Little Prince has repeatedly provoked Da Ming, which is tantamount to provoking his dignity Zhang Lun, which makes Zhang Lun have a strong sense of resentment, and he can't wait to kill the little prince immediately!

British Gong Zhang Mao saw that his incomparably spoiled eldest grandson could insist on practicing martial arts in the ice and snow at this moment, and seemed to see himself when he was young.

Seeing that Zhang Lun had changed from a thin daughter who only knew how to fight cocks and horses, to a muscular and ambitious person, he couldn't help but feel very relieved, and began to be even more glad that His Majesty had put his grandson to study at Beijing Normal University, otherwise there would not have been such a big change.

"Zhang Men is hopeful! Da Ming is hopeful! Your Majesty is wise! ”

……

Zhu Houzhao's education of teachers and students at Beijing Normal University was very successful, which strengthened the national ideology of a group of noble children and civil officials and scholars.

At the same time, he used the organization of the Chungjun Society to brainwash and educate the officers and soldiers of the Guards very successfully.

In order to promote the development of the commodity economy of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao has changed the rice of the guards to silver.

Moreover, the salaries of the Guards were only paid by the Royal Tax Authority, that is, with Zhu Houzhao's internal funds.

The reason why Zhu Houzhao did this was naturally to really control the Guards.

If a commander wants to really have an army or make the army truly subordinate to you, it is basically because it is beneficial to follow you, and brainwashing and education are just consolidation.

If Zhu Houzhao wants to firmly control the command of the Guards, he can only personally raise this army, and the household department and even other chaebols cannot directly intervene, otherwise this army will become an army serving other chaebols.

Historically, there were warlords because the army was no longer supported by the imperial court but by the private officers of the army.

Moreover, because Zhu Houzhao had just copied many big families, the income of the Royal Taxation Bureau was quite considerable, even if he had increased his income and issued a lot of rewards, he still had a lot of grain, cash and land left.

Among them, the gold and silver alone reached 10 million taels.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao also added to the Guards the price of the current Lu rice after the discount, and even drew up a whole set of welfare systems for the war dead, disabled and their families, as well as a system of rewarding military meritorious service and meritorious service.

At the same time, there are also punishment regulations, that is, military law regulations, and there is also a special military law department, and the General Military Law Department of the Guards has been established, and there are corresponding military law teams in units above the company level to ensure strict discipline and clear rewards and punishments in the Guards.

Of course, these are only applicable to the Guards, and even if Zhu Houzhao is the emperor, there is no way for the entire Ming army to carry out such a reform now.

"General Wei! You should understand that the reason why Your Majesty let you continue to stay in the Guards and promote you to be a general and a soldier in charge of the First Brigade is not only because you have outstanding ability and outstanding combat achievements, but also because you are a member of the Loyal Monarch Society, which shows that you are extremely loyal to Your Majesty! And since you are a member of the Zhongjun Society, you must set an example, and you must not deduct the salaries of the officers and soldiers under your command, and you must not secretly receive benefits, understand! Otherwise, if you find out, you will be punished more severely than other generals! ”

The commander of the envoy Xia Ming would give this advice when he distributed the salaries of his division, especially when he met a general who was a member of the Zhongjun Society.

At this time, the same is true of this guard general, who was ordered by Xia Ming'er, and this guard general was busy saying: "I understand my humble duties!" ”

"Well, these boxes are your military salary, issued by Your Majesty, with the seal of the Royal Taxation Bureau, just taken from the Royal Bank, carry it down, you will be loyal to Your Majesty in the future, as a member of the Loyal Monarch Society, it should be even more so, he should fight for Your Majesty in the future! Open up territory for the Ming Dynasty! ”

Xia Ming pointed to a few boxes of silver and said.

"Yes! Fight for Your Majesty! Open up territory for the Ming Dynasty! ”

As he spoke, the guard general hurriedly led people to carry the salary down, and also brainwashed and strengthened it layer by layer in Xia Ming's way, and because the salary and silver of the guards are now paid in full and without discounting the color, it is naturally easier to brainwash the officers and soldiers at all levels.

Under the double baptism of money and spirit, coupled with the training of Qiu Yue, a famous general in the border town, the guards who were still a little dull seemed to have regained their vitality all of a sudden, as if they had a soul all of a sudden, and they also had spirit when they practiced.

When Zhu Houzhao took a group of important ministers to inspect the guards, the mental outlook shown by the guards surprised everyone, and Ma Wensheng, the first assistant of the cabinet who also led the troops, couldn't help but admire:

"I didn't expect that in less than a year, the former regimental battalion and forbidden soldiers were so impressive."

Zhu Houzhao was also very satisfied with this, and only said: "The imperial court treats these soldiers honestly, and these soldiers are naturally willing to work hard, and they will be the foundation and guarantee for us to innovate the Ming Dynasty and create a peaceful and prosperous era." ”

Ma Wensheng and others agreed with this, and they all knew that there was such an army in the capital, and even during the big plan, the central court no longer had to worry about the local government fighting against the court because of the big plan.

However, at this time, the magistrates did not know that the imperial court, especially their emperor, had a loyal enough elite army, and they were indeed using various ways to resist the political reform of the central court and fight for their own interests.

For example, at the end of Zhu Houzhao's review of the guards, Jiao Fang, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, handed Zhu Houzhao a note from Song Kai, the inspector of the imperial history: "Your Majesty, the Jiangnan gentry have begun to make trouble again!" ”

Zhu Houzhao saw that Jiao Fang, who had always hated southern officials, especially the Jiangnan gentry, said this, so he took the song and looked at it.

The content of the recital is to inspect the affairs of Song Kai, the imperial historian, who asked the Dantu Jintan of Zhenjiang Prefecture and the Chongming County Tax Bureau of Suzhou Prefecture, on the grounds that he would not compete with the people for profit and cherish the wealth of the people.

Zhu Houzhao knew that Zhenjiang was the gateway to Nanjing, and it was also the main transportation route of Nanzhili, and commerce and trade had always been developed, and Chongming County, Suzhou Prefecture, was naturally the same, it was a developed area of commerce and trade, and it naturally brought a lot of commercial tax revenue to the Royal Taxation Bureau, and it was reasonable that it would not hurt the interests of self-sufficient homesteaders.

But what Zhu Houzhao didn't expect was that now, the imperial court sent by the imperial court used this as an excuse not only not to ensure the tax source for the imperial court, but also to ask the imperial court to ban the tax bureau on behalf of the Jiangnan businessmen.

"Sure enough, these magistrates really have to govern well, one by one, they eat the money of the imperial court, but they help the Jiangnan businessmen and gentry to do things, and the votes are not allowed! Moreover, it is necessary to add the Shanghai County Tax Bureau of Songjiang Prefecture! ”

Zhu Houzhao commanded.
