"Emperor, good news, good news!"

Zhang Yong trotted to the Son of Heaven's dormitory, knelt on the ground and made a big salute. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhu Houzhao was napping bored, but when he heard Zhang Yong's words, his body subconsciously bounced, but he was completely sleepy.

"What do you say? Good news? ”

Zhu Houzhao danced like a chicken blood, where is there still half a point of ninety-five.

"Yes, my lord, good news from the southeast, good news from Songjiang Mansion!"

It was rare for Zhang Yong to see the emperor so happy, so he also smiled.

Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and tried to calm down.

"I really didn't see the wrong person. Wang Shouren is the material for leading the troops. ”

Zhang Yong hurriedly patted his ass and said: "It's not that the emperor is wise and martial, and Qiangang is arbitrary. Lord Wang respects the emperor's orders, and the great victory is also expected. ”

Zhang Yong's work on sycophants has been perfected, and the photos of Zhu Houbao are very comfortable.

He laughed and waved his hand, "You slave has a mouth like honey." But I listened comfortably. ”

After a pause, Zhu Houzhao said in a deep voice: "It seems that the actual combat power of this flintlock pistol is also very great, and it can be promoted by the whole army." It's just that production has always been a problem, and it may take some time to equip the Xuanda border army in the northwest. ”

"There is a small pavilion elder who thinks that the future can be mentioned again."

Zhang Yong pondered his words and said cautiously.

If it were someone else, Zhang Yong would not dare to say so. But Xiao Ge is different, His Majesty the Emperor's trust in him is incomprehensible, and the two have surpassed the ordinary relationship between monarchs and ministers.

Even if Zhang Yong dedicated all the beautiful words to Xie Shen, the Son of Heaven would not be suspicious.

"Well, sir, I'm relieved to do things. Once the Japanese are pacified, I will go all out to conquer the Tatars in the north! ”

Zhu Houzhao clenched his fists, and he was full of spirit.

Yes, what Tatar cavalry are you worried about with a flintlock pistol?

No matter how sharp the cavalry is, in the face of the line-up volley of the spearmen, it will be shot into a hornet's nest!

In this way, the Ming Dynasty no longer has to attack the enemy's strengths with his own shortcomings. All Zhu Houzhao needed to do was to equip the border army with a flintlock pistol, and ordered them to advance in formation, driving the Tatars out of Mobei and into the snowfield.

Of course, these are all later words, and the most important thing at the moment is to exterminate the Japanese invaders.

Only by pacifying the southeast can we have no worries and concentrate on dealing with the Tatars in the north.

"Hurry up and announce the sir, I want to share the joy of victory with him."

"Slave obeys!"

Although Zhang Yong did not understand these militaristic policies, he also knew that the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty had been ravaged by Japanese pirates for a long time. Governor Wang's battle is really damn uplifted!

Xie Shen followed Zhang Yong to the leopard room and said with a smile: "There is Lao Zhang's father-in-law." Your Majesty should be pleased, right? ”

"It's not just joy, Your Majesty is a dragon's heart."

Zhang Yongtian described Fan Zhu Houzhao's reaction with oil and vinegar, and exclaimed: "Your Majesty said that Xiaoge Lao is also a great meritorious, and he also said that he asked Xiaoge Lao to make more flintlock pistols for the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"How can Xie be so loved by His Majesty."

Xie Shen said a word about the scene, and Zhang Yong also snorted. The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked into the hall together.

Zhu Houzhao instructed Zhang Yong a few more words, and Zhang Yong withdrew from the hall upside down.

Zhu Houzhao grabbed Xie Shen's hand and said, "Sir, my evil breath has finally come out. Great victory in the southeast, great victory! ”

Xie Shen sighed with emotion in his heart.

Zhu Houzhao still loves this country in the end, or he loves this country more than anyone else, especially those scholars who are full of benevolence and morality but do things like men and women and prostitutes.

But Zhu Houzhao didn't express his love, so these civil officials seized the handle and did a series of things to slander Zhu Houzhao. Therefore, the image of Ming Wuzong seen by later generations is an out-and-out debaucherous emperor.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. If the southeast is stable, maritime trade can also proceed smoothly. ”

"Hmm. I invited Mr. to come to ask how to reward meritorious soldiers. ”

There is nothing wrong with Zhu Houzhao's words. Although the war has only just begun, the reward cannot wait until the end of the war.

Otherwise, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers.

The most important thing in leading troops to fight a war is morale and military morale, and if these two things are guaranteed, it will be easy to win a battle or even a succession.

And to be honest, the status of the warriors of the Ming Dynasty is already very low, if there is no clear reward and punishment, I am afraid that there will be more martial artists who deviate from morality.

This is the sorrow of the Ming Dynasty who learned the military system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Although the Sui and Tang Dynasty government soldiers were also busy farming and farming, they were essentially different from military households, that is, they had a high status and a considerable ladder of ascension. As long as a soldier makes a great contribution, he can be promoted several levels in a row, and then he will be promoted again and again. In terms of status, military generals can even be on an equal footing with civilian officials.

Take a look at those generals in the early Tang Dynasty, Li Jing, Li Ji, and Hou Junji, which is not a figure at the level of Zaifu. They are generals on their horses and capable ministers when they dismount, and no one will ever look down on them because of their martial arts background.

This is not the case with the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, the status of martial artists is inherently inferior to that of literati, let alone entering the cabinet, even the secretary of the military department cannot let a pure military general serve as a general.

With such an upward prospect, which military general will die for his life? Most of them are just messing around.

In order to fundamentally change this embarrassing situation, it is necessary to start with the military system.

Changing military households to recruit soldiers is only the first step, in fact, Xie Shen's ultimate goal is to follow the Sui and Tang Dynasty military system to create a complete set of promotion system, which is the essence of the government military system.

The basis of the military system is land, that is, the equalization system.

This is also why the military system reached its peak in the early Tang Dynasty, but it quickly collapsed with the entry into the Middle Tang Dynasty.

Any dynasty that has experienced war will have a large amount of land, and the land will naturally be divided with a small population. After more than 100 years of recuperation, the population base has risen, and the land has almost been annexed.

What is the division of the land in the hands of the landlord?

When the land issue could not be reconciled, it was time for a dynasty to fall.

Xie Shen pushed for a nationwide re-measurement of land, which was to pull out his teeth and take as much land as possible to prepare for the subsequent reforms.

The most important thing for soldiers is not money but land, money can make them feel momentary satisfaction, and the land will keep them happy at all times.

Back to the present, Zhu Houzhao's reward for meritorious soldiers is to give the soldiers a temporary satisfaction. Although this does not solve the root cause of the problem, it can achieve immediate results.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we should pay attention to the knighthood and light the gold and silver rewards."

Although the titles of the Ming Dynasty were far less noble than those of the Sui and Tang dynasties, they were also titles. If these hard-born soldiers had the opportunity to be knighted, even the lowliest barons would be happy.
