Chapter 263: Change of Clothes

Chen Di used Lu Bing's hand to blackmail the vassal kings, and most of the vassal kings honestly complied, they took the lead in paying grain and taxes, and the royal relatives and gentry had no choice but to follow the vassal kings to bow to the imperial court.

Of course, there are exceptions.

On July 30, the 26th year of Jiajing, Zhu Qijiao, the king of Ying, raised 10,000 troops to rebel against the Lu Mansion of Guang'an, Fanhu. claimed to be on the side of the Qingjun in the capital. The rebels first took control of Anlu City, and then killed Zhao Kunji, the prefect of Anlu. Soldiers to Wuhan, the capital of Huguang!

Fortunately, Chen Di gave Hu Zongxian, the new policy inspector of the seven southern provinces, a brigade of 3,000 firecrackers! As soon as the Flying Tiger Army arrived in Wuhan, they immediately put down the rebellion and captured the Yingwang Zhu Qijiao alive!

In the name of Emperor Jiajing, the cabinet of the Chen Di branch issued a holy decree to kill Zhu Qitie, the king of Ying, revoke the title of the king of Ying, and bring the fields of the king of Yingwang under the jurisdiction of the imperial court!

This can be described as a group of tigers in the town of knocking on the mountain! The vassal kings knew that the Flying Tiger Army was not easy to mess with and Chen Di was not easy to mess with, so they naturally supported the new policy more obediently.

As for those weak guards, they were also completely dismissed by Zhang Juzheng and Hu Zongxian. The governors of the provinces recruited their own troops, and many young and vigorous Wehrmacht soldiers were recruited.

Now that most of the Wehrmacht's recruitment has been completed, the next step is training!

Chen Di transferred 1,000 veterans from the Flying Tiger Army to form the Flying Tiger Army Teaching Group. And they were divided into thirteen teaching companies. Each training company went to a province and was responsible for the training of the newly recruited defence forces in each province.

On the other side, Qi Jiguang also raised 10,000 new Flying Tiger troops. The 10,000-strong Flying Tigers of the new army are all equipped with the new firearms of the manufacturing office.

The Ming Flying Tiger Army, the military strength system of the National Defense Force, has been slowly established.

The new military attache rank system and the new civilian official system have been implemented, but the civil and military officials have made difficulties! Military attaches are divided into sergeants, lieutenants, colonels, generals, and marshals, how to wear official uniforms? What kind of complement is used?

Civil officials are twenty-four and second-class, what official uniform should they wear? What complement to use?

Chen Di realized that he should design new official uniforms for the officials of Daming!

Chen Di found Ma Ruyun, the owner of Fuxing Commercial Bank. This revival firm was originally Chen Di's own business. However, Chen Di has already monopolized the government, he sees it very openly, the power of the world is all in his own hands, what do you want money for? Therefore, he merged the Fuxing Commercial Bank into the household department, and Ma Ruyun was also awarded the official title of tenth-class civil official.

Ma Ruyun came to Chen Di, knelt down and said, "I've seen my grandfather!" ”

Chen Di said with a smile: "Boss Ma is now Master Ma!" Hurry up, please! ”

Ma Ruyun said: "It's all up to my grandfather!" ”

Chen Di took out two pieces of paper and handed them to Ma Ruyun: "This is a new style of civil and military official uniform." Fuxing Commercial Bank hurriedly took out samples according to the drawings. ”

Ma Ruyun looked at the straw paper, this new official uniform seemed to him to be really new - it didn't look like a Chinese dress at all.

Chen Di modeled the style of the Beiyang military uniform of later generations to design the uniform of cultural relics officials.

Ma Ruyun said to Chen Di: "Grandpa, this new official uniform is very... It's unique. It's just that the official uniforms of big officials and small officials are the same? So how to distinguish the dignity of official positions? ”

Chen Di pointed to the two strips of cloth on his shoulders and said, "Your words are to the point, the difference is in the epaulettes!" ”

Chen Di took out another dozen pieces of paper.

"Epaulettes are designed in these styles. Pin the epaulettes to the official uniform. The soldier's epaulettes are blank, the corporal's epaulettes are one vertical bar, two Chinese-style, and three corporals. Lieutenant warrant officer has one horizontal bar, second lieutenant has one horizontal bar and one star, lieutenant has two horizontal stars, and captain has three stars. The brigadier has two horizontal bars, the major has two bars and one star, the lieutenant colonel has two bars and two stars, and the colonel has two bars and three stars. One gold star for the brigadier general, two gold stars for the major general, three gold stars for the lieutenant general, one small sun and moon emblem for the general, two small sun and moon emblems for the general, and one big sun and moon emblem for the marshal! ”

Chen Di paused, and then said: "In this way, respect and humility will appear!" ”

Ma Ruyun asked: "What about the epaulettes of civil officials?" ”

Chen Di said: "The epaulettes of civil officials are decorated with bird badges. One quail badge for civil servants of the 24th class, and so on, up to 4 quail badges for the 20th class。。。。。。 ”

Ma Ruyun said: "I understand what my grandfather meant." In the past, our Ming officials were different according to their grades, and the complements were also different. Each of the nine civil officials has nine kinds of birds. You're turning the complement into a badge, don't put it on the epaulette! ”

Chen Di nodded: "Yes!" ”

Chen Di said again: "The pattern I gave you just now is just the regular uniform of the civil and military officials. I haven't had time to style the dress yet. When the design is ready, you have to give me mass production immediately. ”

Ma Ruyun said: "Rest assured, the lower officials will definitely live up to their mission." ”

Chen Di thought to himself that it was a bit nondescript for the officials to kneel in their new official uniforms. He summoned Tang Shunzhi and others and announced a new etiquette for civil and military officials and soldiers to meet in the future.

When the soldiers meet, they put their fingers together and raise their hands to the brim of their hats. Those with low ranks salute those with high ranks. When civil officials meet, they bow according to their rank.

Although Tang Shunzhi and the others were not interested in these strange etiquette, they did not raise any objections, but who let this be the proposal of the Duke of Zhenguo?

After Tang Shunzhi and the others left, the new administrator of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, the intelligence officer of the Metropolitan Protectorate, and the chief soldier of the Metropolitan Protectorate garrison asked to see him.

The new administrator was Li Huaping, the former governor of Cangzhou. Chen Di went to Qinyang to take up his post that year, and when he passed through Cangzhou, he was warmly entertained by Li Huaping. Li Huaping was a strict party at the beginning. However, after Yan Song's father and son were ambushed, he followed his colleagues to show his loyalty to Chen Di. Later, Chen Di checked the files of the Ministry of Officials and found that although this person was a strict party, he had outstanding political achievements. After personally summoning the investigation, it was found that this person was full of practical talents. So he was promoted to the new administrator of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate.

Zhao Da, the intelligence officer of the Metropolitan Protectorate, and Chen Di are even more related! At the beginning of Chen Di's mutiny, Lu Bing sent someone to assassinate Chen Di and was arrested. That assassin is Zhao Da! At the beginning, Zhao Dake was almost castrated by Chen Di.

As for Zhao Laogen, it is needless to say, the first-class winner of the Sun and Moon Medal, the hero of the Flying Tiger Army.

Chen Di said to the three of them: "The three of you have a long way to go to the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate!" Li Huaping, although you are only a sixth-class civil official, the area under your jurisdiction is equivalent to several provinces in the Ming Dynasty! When you go to the grassland, you must always remember that the grassland is the new territory of my Ming Dynasty! Think about the big picture. ”

Li Huaping said: "Remember. ”

Chen Di said to Zhao Da: "Haha, Zhao Da, meet again!" When you assassinated Bengong, you almost made Bengong a eunuch! ”

Zhao Da arched his hand and said: "Ashamed, ashamed." ”

Chen Di said: "The grassland is the newly opened territory of my Ming Dynasty, and naturally there are people who are ready to move and have suspicions, and your responsibility is to find out these people." At the same time, it is necessary to report the situation of the various tribes in the grassland to the imperial court in a timely manner. ”

Zhao Dadao: "Remember! ”

Chen Diyou said to Zhao Laogen: "Colonel, you are a war hero in the Northern Expedition, and you have extraordinary courage. But I want to remind you that you must not slack off when your 1,000 firecrackers go to the grassland! Some people say that if Bengong exterminated the Tatars, the steppe would be peaceful for hundreds of years. Tell you, comfort is far more important than danger, and it is much more terrifying! This fire regiment under your command, don't let the peace situation make you neglect to prepare for battle, and become like those weak guards! ”
