"Chen Diqi: In August of the 25th year of Jiajing, the commander of Jianzhou Wei under the Daming Nuer Gandu Division, Jue Chang'an, and Hai Xiwei, the commander of Erni, conspired against rebellion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 On August 16, the 25th year of Jiajing, the minister led 5,000 Flying Tiger troops to the north to suppress them, beheading more than 8,000 Jurchen rebels in Jianzhou and more than 4,000 Jurchen rebels in Haixi. Capture doesn't count。。。。。。 ”

Although Chen Di is now the governor in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, Emperor Jiajing has become a puppet under his house arrest. But since it is a military dispatch, it is always necessary to go through the motions to give Emperor Jiajing a letter of success. The excerpt was handed to Emperor Jiajing through the cabinet, and Emperor Jiajing, who was imprisoned in the Yongshou Palace, only said four words coldly: "Poor soldiers."

On August 29, Governor Chen Di led 5,000 Flying Tiger troops back to Beijing in triumph.

Chen Di kept thinking on the way back. Da Ming is already a terminally ill patient, and only by performing major surgery on this patient can he be brought back to life! This so-called major operation is to reform the tax system and the military system of the Ming Dynasty.

Every reform touches the fundamental interests of vested interests. Naturally, those with vested interests will do everything in their power to oppose reform.

Who is the vested interest in the Ming tax system and the military system today? Naturally, it is the imperial relatives who do not pay taxes, bureaucrats, and gentry with meritorious reputations; Naturally, it is those hereditary military households of the guards. These people almost constituted the entire ruling class of the Ming Dynasty.

To be the enemy of the entire ruling class, it is necessary to raise a force that can compete with it!

This power is the new aristocracy!

Taking history as a guide, the English enclosure movement in the 16th century created a large number of new aristocrats. It was these new aristocrats who launched the Glorious Revolution nearly a hundred years later and established a parliamentary constitutional monarchy.

Chen Di did not want to implement a constitutional monarchy in Daming. Whether the constitutional monarchy is suitable for the Ming Dynasty, he has no spectrum in mind at this time. Chen Di simply wanted to reform the tax system and the military system of the Ming Dynasty. If you want to succeed, you must cultivate a new aristocratic class in Daming. And this new aristocratic class must obey Chen Di's orders.

Chen Di thought of Shang Ying's change again. Before the Shang Dynasty reformed the law, the old clan bureaucracy controlled the Qin state, and even could balance the Qin Duke to a certain extent. Even if the soldiers of the Qin State made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, they could only be flat-headed civilians after removing their armor.

By rewarding military exploits, Shang Ying turned a large number of soldiers who had made meritorious contributions on the battlefield into new nobles with many lands. Shang Ying's reform allowed the Qin State to embark on the road to prosperity and strength. It's a pity that once the son of heaven and a courtier, after the death of Qin Xiaogong, King Qin Huiwen split the Shang martingale with five ox carts. However, the new system was preserved in the Qin state. The reason for this is because of the support of the new nobles of the Qin State for the change of the law!

The Flying Tiger Army was created by Chen Di, and every soldier and military attache was loyal to Chen Di. Chen Di thought, why not learn from Shang Ying, reward those meritorious soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army, and support them to become the new nobles of the Ming Dynasty?

The Flying Tiger Army triumphed, and Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet, led hundreds of officials to greet them in person at Deshengmen.

For this victory, the officials of the court and the people of the Ming Dynasty are no longer surprised. They had become accustomed to hearing the news of the victory of the Flying Tigers with the victory of the weak over the strong. This time, they were not surprised to exterminate more than 10,000 Jianzhou and Haixi Jurchen rebels with 5,000 men and horses. You must know that the Flying Tiger Army had a record of defeating the Japanese in Zhejiang with one enemy and one hundred! Defeating the Jurchen rebels with one enemy and two was reasonable in the eyes of the officials and people of the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Di rode a jujube red horse with a command knife at his waist. He was followed by Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang. Behind them were 5,000 soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army, with neat appearance and high morale.

Outside the Desheng Gate, in addition to the hundreds of officials of the court led by Yan Song, there were also tens of thousands of people in the capital to watch. Yan Song did not send people to stop the people from watching the triumph of the Flying Tiger Army at Desheng Gate. The Flying Tigers won the battle, and his face as the head of the cabinet also shone. Why not let the people look up to this elite army?

"Look, this is the invincible Flying Tiger Divine Army!"

"This is the most capable army of our Ming Dynasty!"

"Daming has the Flying Tiger Army, and he no longer has to be bullied by any Japanese and Tatars!"

The people were talking.

Among the onlookers, no one shouted: "Long live the emperor!" ”

Chen Di raised his arms and shouted: "Long live the Flying Tiger Army!" ”

Since Qin unified the six countries, only the emperor can be called long live. To call an army long live is something that has never been done before.

Yan Song and the officials were stunned.

The onlookers shouted with Chen Di: "Long live the Flying Tiger Army!" ”

In the eyes of the common people, the Flying Tiger Army made outstanding achievements in exterminating the Japanese invaders, retreating from the Tatars, and suppressing the Jurchens. If you want to say that the emperor is long lived, they have never seen it, but this meritorious army is standing alive in front of them! The Flying Tigers are fully worthy of the word "long live"!

Chen Di, Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang, Yan Song, and a group of officials and onlookers would not know at this time that from today to hundreds of years in the future, the Flying Tiger Army swept through Europe, Asia, the United States, and Africa under the nickname of "Long Live Army"!

The musicians of Taichang Temple played a great music for the Flying Tiger Army.

Yan Song walked in front of Chen Di: "The Metropolitan Governor is mighty!" The Flying Tigers are mighty! This time to exterminate the Jurchen rebels, the Metropolitan Governor and the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army have worked hard! ”

Chen Di said with a smile: "The mere Jurchen rebels are just grasshoppers shaking trees!" Exterminating them is just a matter of the Flying Tigers raising their hands! ”

Jiang Guangdao, the second assistant of the cabinet, said: "In the hundreds of years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has been Chang Yuchun, the king of Kaiping, who has swept 100,000 people in the world, and Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, who has swept Mongolian Hu'er. Now there is another Zhu Guogong and Metropolitan Governor Chen Di who uses soldiers like a god! This is really the blessing of the Ming court and the blessing of the people! ”

Jiang Guang is not just slapping Chen Di's sycophants. This sycophant is actually his true words! He has been a soldier for more than ten years, how have he ever seen such an elite division in Daming that has won many battles? Have you ever seen Chen Di as a commander who strategizes and decides for thousands of miles?

Chen Di whispered in Yan Song's ear: "Father-in-law, my son has something important to discuss with you. ”

Yan Song nodded: "Then let's go to Xiyuan to talk." ”

The Flying Tiger Army returned to the barracks under the leadership of Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang. Chen Di followed Yan Song to the Xiyuan duty room.

Chen Di said: "Father-in-law, my son has an idea that has been brewing for a long time. ”

Yan Song asked, "What do you think?" ”

Chen Di untied the command knife, put it on a bookcase in the duty room, and said: "If the Ming Dynasty wants to be strong, it must have a martial spirit!" Since the founding of the country, the imperial court has always used the national policy of emphasizing literature over military force and using literature to control military force. This has led to countless young people being obsessed with studying the Four Books, Five Classics, and Eight Shares of Articles in order to become a scholar. There is a saying: A good iron does not hit nails, and a good man is not a soldier. That's the status quo! If we want to change this status quo, we must set up a complete set of military merit reward system! ”

Yan Song smiled: "Doesn't the Ministry of War have a system of rewarding meritorious soldiers with a number of beheadings?" ”
