In September 31 of Hongwu, the detailed rules for the reform of the military system were finally finalized.

Zhu Yunwen, the Son of Heaven, even under three holy decrees, the first holy decree, proclaimed to the world, the court is thirsty for talents, in this year's month in Beijing to open a martial arts, for the country to elect generals, where the people of the Ming Dynasty, regardless of the noble and low, the three generations of innocent people can participate, both civil and military.

The second holy decree, for example, all the Ming Dynasty commanded the envoys to govern the thousands of households, that is, to stop farming, all military households to train with all their might, night training, not slack, the grain and grass needed in the army by the imperial court and the household department to send the command of the envoys. It also stipulates that every two months, the 1,000 households of each command department will conduct a confrontation drill among themselves, and the 1,000 households with the lowest ranking will be removed from their posts and investigated, and the highest ranking will be commended by the imperial court, and the military department will record it as the basis for future promotion.

The third holy decree, the imperial military department in the western suburbs of the Beijing division next to the royal horse farm to open a martial arts hall, when the son personally presided over the martial arts hall affairs, ordered the commanders and envoys to transfer the subordinate middle-level generals, such as the general banner, hundreds of households, etc., they will be selected to send to the Beijing division, by the military department to send meritorious veterans, famous generals personally for these middle-level generals to give martial arts lectures, teach the formation of troops, the method of military training, lecture martial arts for half a year for a period, half a year later by the military department officials assessment, the successful completion of the middle-level generals will be recorded by the military department, there is a great chance of promotion, And the Ministry of War made a book and awarded the iron coupon of "Protégé of the Son of Heaven" as a lifelong honor.

The three holy decrees shocked the whole country.

There was a surprising silence in the court, and the officials knew that this result could not be changed, and although these three holy decrees reformed the ancestral system, Xiao Fan was undoubtedly very careful, and only added a little content on the basis of the ancestral system, and did not affect the overall structure of the Ming military system, which was not too deviant. After the last court dispute, Zhong Qingliu became more and more afraid of Xiao Fan's methods, since there was no major reform of the military system, the Qingliu officials closed their mouths, obediently opened one eye and closed one eye, and let Xiao Fan go.

There was no reaction from the court, but the reaction of the commanders and envoys from all over the country was great.

The commanders are appointed by the imperial military department, they are the generals who lead the troops, it can be said that they hold the power of the army, which is the highest position among the generals, they don't care, no matter how the hundred households and the general banners are promoted, it is impossible to suddenly become the commander, and it has little impact on their interests.

What is unacceptable is that the thousands of households in each thousand households can train the troops, anyway, there are the imperial court households to provide grain and grass, but the opening of the martial arts hall has made the generals of the thousands of households very dissatisfied.

Military power is also power, the cake of power is so big, if those middle-level generals come back from the lecture hall, the imperial court will give them the opportunity to be promoted, they are promoted, what should these thousands of households do now? There are so many military positions, some people are promoted, and some people must retire first, who is willing to give up their current power?

Zhu Yunwen's holy decree has just been promulgated, and thousands of households around the country are in turmoil, in this era of supremacy of imperial power, most of the generals of thousands of households are still afraid of the emperor's authority, and no one dares to argue with the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, since the Son of Heaven intends to replace the old with new people, thousands of households can only reluctantly accept the facts, but a very small number of thousands of households are unhappy, and they have the courage to make trouble with the command and envoy, petition the commander to complain, ask to play the imperial court, and oppose the opening of the military department to lecture on martial arts. It is not uncommon to slap the table and scold the mother, the situation is getting bigger and bigger, and it is gradually getting out of control.

The commanders and envoys in various places are a little anxious, the affairs in the army are not child's play, the slightest carelessness is a mutiny, the matter of taking charge of the army is the most sensitive, and the commanders and envoys also bear the life of their families, and no one dares to underestimate them. After the severe reprimand, a small number of thousands of households still did not spare the command envoy to make a fuss, the commander panicked, they couldn't afford such a big involvement, and hurriedly flew to report to the imperial court.

The report was still on the way, and the fourteen thousand households stationed in the Ming Dynasty got the news first, and the information transmission of the Jinyi Wei was naturally much faster than that of the army, and two days later, Xiao Fan, who was in Beijing, learned the news that a small number of thousands of generals in various places were making trouble.

Xiao Fan, who has always been gentle and elegant, was not polite this time, and immediately revealed the hideous face of the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

With a few orders, the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households in various localities began to send people to forcibly meddle in military affairs, and on the charge of "deliberately making trouble and plotting against each other", they mercilessly beheaded more than 10 generals of thousands of households who took the lead in making trouble, and arrested their wives and children, and imprisoned them.

After this thunderous and iron-blooded means, the generals of the thousands of households finally packed their bags honestly, obeyed the dispatch of the imperial court, and went to the new unfamiliar Qianhu with their troops.

Zhu Yunwen also issued an order in the shortest possible time to comfort the thousands of households, saying that the imperial court must have arrangements for the generals, and will never do the evil thing of rabbits and dead dogs.

Zhu Yunwen and Xiao Fan cooperated perfectly, one sang red face and the other sang black face with a very tacit understanding, and within a few days, thousands of households around the country were cleaned up, and with this incident, they successfully completed the transfer of thousands of households in various places, and minimized the possibility of mutiny.

Another consequence was derived from this incident, that is, within the Ming military circle, from the commander to the ordinary hundred households, the general banner, the young Jinyi Wei commander finally had a new understanding, mentioning Xiao Fan's name, no one in the army was frightened, frightened and frightened.

- It turns out that scholars can also kill people, and they are not inferior to these generals who lead troops, and when they start, they are called decisive and ruthless.

Under the combination of soft and hard measures of Zhu Yunwen and Xiao Fan, the turmoil of the commanders and envoys in various places finally subsided quickly.

The holy decree proclaimed to the world, within a few days, there were many more people from all over the Ming Dynasty, these people were all powerful, burly, all with a face full of meat, hideous faces, the inns of the Beijing Division were soon full, and the business of the restaurants and restaurants was also prosperous.

These people are all warriors who came from other places to participate in the imperial court's martial arts, although there are still two months before the official martial arts of the imperial court, but these people are eager to seek fame, and they came to Beijing early to occupy a place to settle down.

There are more of these rude words and deeds, hot-tempered Jianghu people, the most bitter is the Ying Tianzhi Mansion, these martial artists began to get excited after three bowls of wine, and there were fights and brawls when they disagreed, and often made the restaurants smoky, and in a few days, the fields of the restaurants were replaced with several new tables, chairs and benches, and the old ones were all smashed when the martial artists fought.

Ying Tianfu Yamen sent out all the arrest officials and patrolled the streets of Jingshi in shifts, but they still could not control the frequent violent incidents, and the public security cases in Jingshi rose to a historical high within a few days.

The prefect hid in the yamen and cried for two days, and finally there was really no way, accompanied by a smiling face tremblingly into the Jinyi Wei Zhenfu Si Yamen, and carefully reported to Xiao Fan in a aggrieved and flattering tone, Ying Tianfu Yamen really tried his best, all the fast arresting officials were sent out, and the yamen was empty like a ghost house for the whole day, and he relied on two earth dogs to guard the door, but this could not stop the criminal case from rising, and then the prefect asked Xiao Fan in a very subtle and obscure tone: The ghost idea of opening a martial arts is from you, Now that the Jingshi has made such a fuss because of your words, is the commander of the envoy a little bit of help to take care of this matter?

Xiao Fan was stunned for a while, then looked up to the sky and snorted, and finally patted his chest very heroically, this matter is in charge of Jinyi Wei!

So, more than 1,000 Jinyi lieutenants from the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division dispatched, this group of people was much more ruthless than the fast arresting officials of Yingtianfu, and when they got out of the Yamen, they were like a group of hungry wolves who were released from the cage, holding embroidered spring knives and began to patrol the streets murderously, and when they encountered the people in the rivers and lakes who were picking quarrels and making trouble, the captains in brocade clothes didn't even greet each other, and never talked about the rules of the rivers and lakes, they often pulled out knives and slashed, and they were basically beaten in groups, a group of people cut one, no matter what "jade-faced demon ghost" or "Songshan old ghost", Jinyi Wei chopped down with a knife, Keep them all dead.

On the first day of the Jinyi Guard's patrol of the street, a total of more than 10 people were killed on the street, the second was that five people were killed, and the third was that no one was killed.

After witnessing the bloody methods of the Jinyi school captain, all the people in the rivers and lakes in Beijing seemed to have been enlightened by the Buddha, one by one, they changed their past wrongs, repented, they decided to be good citizens, obedient to the people, never steal, rob, fight, never add a trace of trouble to the imperial court, and strive to be a new generation of idealistic and educated model masters who cannot fight back and scold back...... So, on the fourth day, you can often see the people in the Jingshi Restaurant who are full of people suddenly become elegant, drinking with small cups, eating with small bowls, and even talking in a small voice, as soon as they open their mouths, "benevolent brother" and "virtuous brother", and then the same person, whether it is an ugly monster or a butcher with a meaty face, all of them have become a great Confucian in the world with a sour and rotten words, so elegant that even the nerds in the Hanlin Academy are ashamed of themselves, which is called a gentle drizzle, and the face is not cold...... The law and order of the Jingshi returned to normal within three days, and after the bloody methods of Jinyiwei, the crime rate of the Jingshi was as low as an unimaginable low, not to mention fights, not even petty theft occurred.

The commander of Jinyiwei made Lord Xiao very happy after hearing the report, and ordered the scribes in the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division to write dozens of list texts and paste them next to the doors of the major restaurants and inns in Beijing.

- "Jin Yiwei specializes in treating all kinds of disobedience, if you don't believe it, try it!" ”

It is said that after the list was posted, the Jianghu men were silent for a long time around the list, and then they let out a gloomy sigh of heroic shortness of breath, and finally ...... Each lowered his eyebrows and dispersed smoothly.

I don't know if it's fortunate or unfortunate, the commander of Jinyiwei has gradually made Xiao Fan's name famous in the rivers and lakes, and those who have good deeds took the risk of killing their heads, and secretly gave Xiao Fan a nickname in the rivers and lakes, called "Dictatorship and Disobedience", at first glance, it sounded like a Jianghu Langzhong who sold plasters, very pretended, and this nickname spread all over Beijing overnight...... Soon, those people in the rivers and lakes such as Bai Xiaosheng, who had enough to eat and had nothing to do, changed the weapons spectrum of the rivers and lakes overnight, and Xiao Fan was undisputedly ranked first in the weapon spectrum, and he was the super first. His weapon is a list of texts, the reason for being on the list is that as soon as the list is released, he has to accept it if he is not satisfied, no matter whether he can slay the dragon or not, no one dares to compete with this list, this is the real command, which is much more effective than those bullshit "hero posts", "green forest arrows" and "martial arts alliance master order".

As soon as this new ranking came out, no one in the entire rivers and lakes dared to speak up, and no one dared to challenge the dictatorship who ranked first in the weapons spectrum.

The dictatorship did not accept Xiao Fan, so he became famous in the rivers and lakes, and has been the first place in the weapon spectrum for many years, although he is not in the rivers and lakes, but he has become a legend in the rivers and lakes...... Xiao Fan has been very busy these days, the military system has begun to bear fruit, and the feedback news of the command envoys from all over the country has flown into the Beijing division like snowflakes, and he and his subordinates of the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division are busy summarizing all kinds of news, implementing the rewards for the effective changes of the law, and dealing with many complicated matters in a busy and orderly manner in the face of severe punishment for trouble.

It's easy to mention the change, and when it comes to really implementing it, the busiest person is him, the person in charge.

Zhu Yunwen became the shopkeeper and pushed everything to him, and then Zhu Yunwen pondered and pursued Huang Ying.

Xiao Fan was so busy in the yamen that his feet didn't touch the ground, and he didn't return home for three days and three nights, so he barely managed to finish everything.

Leaning back in the chair, Xiao Fan yawned heavily, rubbed his sour eyes, and finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Everything is going slowly according to his plan, and in time, the Ming army may have a reborn change, and after the combat power increases, history should be rewritten, right? Is it still possible for Zhu Di to succeed in usurping the throne? What will the future of Daming become? Without Ming Chengzu and Yongle Shengshi, who will go to Mongolia for the five expeditions? Who went to the West seven times? The historical Zhu Di laid a solid military and economic foundation for the Ming Dynasty, which made the Ming Dynasty last for nearly three hundred years.

There are too many questions lingering in my heart, these questions have no answers at all, the wheel of history has changed the original trajectory under Xiao Fan's gentle play, driving towards the unknown ahead, and the future has become unpredictable even for Xiao Fan, a traverser.

"My mission is to help Zhu Yunwen keep this throne, and the rest, how can I love it!" Xiao Fan told himself silently in his heart.

Very irresponsible idea, Xiao Fan is just an ordinary person, he has never thought of any sense of historical responsibility, that is something that only saints consider, he is not so great, he only knows how to stick a knife in his friend's ribs, regardless of the righteousness and the small righteousness, although narrow-minded, but at ease.

As for why God arranged for him to cross, Xiao Fan helped God give himself an answer: he was sent by God to smash Zhu Di's field, it's as simple as that!

Stretching a big lazy waist, Xiao Fan turned his head to look at Cao Yi beside him, and said: "Brother Cao, it's about to start a martial arts, this martial arts is very important to the Son of Heaven, this matter is related to the fortune of the country, we must be cautious, not to be dismissive......"

Cao Yi has been busy summarizing the intelligence of the commanders and envoys in various places in the past few days, and he has been busy arranging people to patrol the streets to suppress the people in the rivers and lakes who are making trouble.

Xiao Fan thought for a while, frowned and said: "The martial artists elected by the state capitals from all over the country have rushed to the Beijing Division, the Beijing Division has been quite unpeaceful recently, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, they cannot be allowed to be unscrupulous, should you send more captains to help Ying Tianfu maintain law and order in the Beijing Division?" ”

Cao Yi's face twitched strangely when he heard this, and he said, "This...... You don't have to, right? ”

"Why not?"

“…… I can't tell, but if you go out on the street and take a look, maybe you'll change your mind. ”

Looking at Cao Yi's strange expression, Xiao Fan was full of doubts and dressed in civilian clothes and took more than a dozen guards to the street.

Jingshi is still as prosperous and lively as ever, people come and go on the streets, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

There were just a lot of burly and tall men in it, all of them wearing shirts that exposed their chests, their faces were full of hideous and twisted horizontal meat, and they walked around the crowd silently, or gathered in the restaurant to drink and chat.

Xiao Fan looked at these men and was secretly frightened, this head, this muscle, this explosive power...... He secretly estimated that if he competed with any of them, the other party would most likely beat him up in one move.

After observing for a while while walking, Xiao Fan said, "These ...... Is it the legendary Jianghu people? ”

Cao Yi nodded and said, "Yes, they are all martial artists who walk the rivers and lakes." ”

"Aren't all the people in the rivers and lakes carrying swords, ghost-headed broadswords, or maces or something? How come they are all bare-handed? ”

Cao Yi was stunned and said, "Who told you that people in the rivers and lakes all carry weapons?" ”

"Isn't it?"

Cao Yi glanced at Xiao Fan, and his eyes looked like he was looking illiterate.

"There is already a provision in the Daming Law, where my Daming people, if they have no merit or official status, they are not allowed to wear any weapons, and violators will be punished for rebellion, that is to say, those who can wear weapons, in addition to the soldiers and generals of the imperial court, ordinary people must at least have a show of talent and fame, otherwise it is a blatant rebellion, who of these Jianghu people has the courage?"

Xiao Fan wiped his sweat: "...... I'll read the Da Ming Law a few more times in the future! ”

- Martial arts novels kill people!

No wonder it has been handed down for hundreds of years to later generations are some fists, palms and other hand kung fu, such as Tai Chi, Bagua palm or something, it turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang did not allow them to bring weapons, Lao Zhu has made a lot of efforts for the stability and harmony of the society...... When he was ashamed, there was a sudden twitch in the open space in front of a restaurant in front of him.

Xiao Fan's heart tightened, these Jianghu people were really unruly one by one, and this was a fight?

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan waved his hand and led Cao Yi and more than a dozen guards into the crowd of onlookers.

struggling to squeeze in, but saw that two muscular bearded men in the middle of the clearing were looking at each other angrily, their fists clenched tightly, and there was a crackling sound between the joints, and a brawl was about to start.

Xiao Fan frowned, and was about to call the guards to take them down, but he saw that one of the people in the clearing suddenly hugged his fist at the other, and said in a tone full of anger: "Brother Liu Ren, how is Lord Lingtang?" Greetings to her! ”

Not to be outdone, the other person said: "Brother Li Xian, greetings to Lingtang too!" ”

Brother Li Xian was furious: "I am eye-to-eye with Ling Tang!" ”

Brother Liu Ren was also furious: "I have an improper relationship with Ling Tang!" ”

The onlookers applauded and applauded warmly.

Xiao Fan's eyes were straight: "...... them What are they doing here? ”

Cao Yi smiled calmly: "Most of these two people are enemies on the rivers and lakes, and they met today, and now they are scolding the street......

"This ...... This is called scolding the street? ”

As he spoke, Brother Liu Ren and Brother Li Xian in the open space were already red-faced, and the two rolled up their sleeves and took two steps back.

Xiao Fan was nervous for a while, and finally started fighting...... Looking forward to it for a long time, the two of them didn't make a move, but lowered their bodies and squatted down, and Brother Liu Ren shouted in a deep voice: "Listen, I'll first dig out the heart of the black tiger with a move and attack your chest!" ”

Brother Li Xiandi smiled contemptuously: "I flew over, jumped over your head, and hit your back with a backhand......"

"I'll turn around and block it!"

"I'll kick your balls again!"

“…………”

“…………”

Xiao Fan was dumbfounded: "This ...... What is this for? ”

Cao Yi looked unbearable and muttered, "It's so cruel...... Don't you see that they are fighting a duel to the death? ”

Xiao Fan: "............"
