Jiajing has not read an article so attentively for a long time, unlike the courtier's Piri Yangqiu, who doesn't know what to do, and unlike the young scholar's emptiness and boredom, he doesn't know what to do, Tang Shen's strategy really moved him, and it is worth Jiajing to read carefully word by word, and think about it carefully.

“…… The military household system has extended from the beginning of the dynasty to the present, and for more than 100 years, the characters have risen and changed. What's more, the Holy Son of Heaven is in the court, and the southeast has been peaceful for a long time, and the armament is relaxed, so it is inevitable that it will ......"

Tang Shen first briefly evaluated the military household system and pointed out its shortcomings, but did not ask for the reform of the military household, but turned his pen and continued: "Emperor Gao is far-sighted, how can future generations easily change!" The ministers were not talented, and they dared to propose that the soldiers of the military households should be used as local garrisons. Recruit loyal and brave people, regardless of household registration, and all those who have the heart to serve the country are recruited to enrich the country. Treat the warriors well, train strictly, make firearms, and defend against the Japanese with elite soldiers...... Elite soldiers are not easy to train, with the financial endowment of the southeastern provinces, can bear only 20,000 soldiers, thousands of miles of sea frontier, can not rely on only 20,000 horses, the minister has the courage to plead, allow the local gentry to recruit the village brave, with Zhejiang people to defend the land of Zhejiang, with the Fujian people to guard the land of Fujian......"

I have to say that Tang Shen only looked a little stupid and cute in front of his son, and he still had a lot of ideas when he really faced the problem.

Tang Yi proposed that the set was too radical, and I was afraid that it would arouse Jiajing's disgust. You must know that although Jiajing is dictatorial and has all the power in his hands, he is not a very enterprising emperor.

Just five years ago, the genius commander, the governor of the three sides, had milled a copy of the book, and after Jiajing read it, he was overjoyed, but in the blink of an eye. changed his attitude and personally issued an order: "Now to expel the Hetao rebels, is the teacher really famous?" If there is really a surplus of food for the native soldiers, will they be able to succeed? How about a man who has milled what is the way, such as the poison of the people? ”

After some questioning, not only did the proposal fail. Zeng Milling, even Shoufu Xia Yan lost his life. Although this great grievance is the result of Yan Song's operation behind the scenes, it actually shows Jiajing's character: afraid of trouble, unwilling to take responsibility, and getting by, instead of expanding the territory, it is better to cultivate the road of immortality.

Therefore, Jiajing did not have the courage or courage to reform the ancestral system. He asked about the military system. It's nothing more than being bullied and suffering, and he wants to get back face, but once Jiajing feels that things are too troublesome, he would rather choose Lizi, and when the time comes, the ruthless side of this Daojun Emperor will be revealed, plus a bad Yan Song, it may not end up!

Although Tang Shen is not very smart. However, he accurately grasped Jiajing's mentality, so he proposed his own solution. The military household system remains unchanged. It's just reduced to the specification of local garrisons. Reducing the number of personnel, eliminating vacancies, and strengthening training only play the role of guarding the localities and guarding against small groups of pirates.

The real main force of combat was recruitment, and Tang Shen proposed to emulate Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Choose young children who have a family feud with the Japanese Invaders, give them rich food, sophisticated weapons, and cruel training, and sharpen them into sharp swords for cutting the Japanese Invaders.

However, we must not repeat the mistake of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who worked hard and lost money. The number of recruits should not be too much, with 20,000 as the upper limit. The other gap is to make up for it with the village bravery, the Japanese are rampant, and many gentry and large families in the southeast have also suffered losses, they have families and tenant farmers in their hands, and what they lack is a piece of paper from the imperial court, and they can have tens of thousands of elite soldiers and strong generals in an instant.

Tang Shen also put forward the practice of restricting the township, stipulating that the upper limit of each family's recruitment could not exceed 300 people, and the training should be sent by the imperial court to military attachés, and the township warrior should be used as a reserve supplement for recruitment. All the gentry who cooperated with the imperial court to train the village warriors could be given preferential treatment, such as the imperial examination of their children and grandchildren, tax exemption for business, and so on.

The basis for the survival of the Japanese invaders is internal and external collusion, and the imperial court's permission to train the villagers is to collect the hearts of the people, strive for more large households to stand on the side of the imperial court, and isolate and attack the Japanese invaders......

Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, but if you find the right way, over time, or three years, or five years, the imperial military system will inevitably take on a new look.

What is particularly rare about this strategy is that it lists in detail the possible expenses and the issues to be paid attention to in the back, and it is full of more than 7,000 words, which is more than twice as many as other scholars. But there is not a word of nonsense, it is methodical, and it is extremely feasible. According to Tang Shen's estimate, it was necessary to increase military spending by about 500,000 yuan, and he was worried that Jiajing would be frightened, so he proposed several measures to make up for the fiscal revenue.

All in all, this article is not a strategy at all, but a practical plan, as long as Jiajing Yubi approves it, it can be moved immediately.

After Jiajing finished reading it, he put the strategy aside and looked at Li Ben, who had been kneeling on the ground for more than an hour, and Jiajing suddenly smiled.

"Li Ben, do you think this policy has too many words, so it shouldn't be used?"

Li Ben's head was full of sweat, and he was trembling all over, he spent more time reading Tang Shen's strategy than the other ten people combined, no need to ask, Tang Shen must have moved Jiajing. And he disobeyed the emperor's mind, pressed down such a volume, and thought about the consequences, he shuddered!

Li Ben trembled and fell on the ground, and said humbly: "Weichen is faint, I beg Your Majesty to punish?" ”

"Unconscious? What an excuse! Jiajing got up from the cloud bed and walked around Li Ben twice, Li Ben only felt that he was a mouse targeted by a cat, and the roots of his hair stood up.

"Hehe, three days before the palace test, Yan Shifan called you over, what did you discuss?"

Yes!

Li Ben was stunned all of a sudden, how could Jiajing even know this, his head was short-circuited in an instant, and he could only kneel on the ground, sweating profusely.

"Your Majesty atoned for your sins, the minister really doesn't know anyone, and he never discussed anything with the little pavilion elder?"

"Little Pavilion Elder?" Jiajing sneered: "Mai Fu, does this dynasty have the official position of Xiaoge Elder?" ”

McFucier hurriedly bowed down and said, "Emperor Qiqi, Yan Butang is the son of Yan Ge Lao, everyone respects Yan Ge Lao, so they call him Xiao Ge Lao." ”

"Oh, in order to respect me, you will call my son the little emperor, right?"

Jiajing's words were purely looking for stubble, but Li Ben was so frightened that he could only prostrate on the ground, keep kowtowing and asking for guilt, and his brain was red and swollen.

"Li Ben, I tell you that the Talent Ceremony is for the imperial court to select useful talents! Too many words? Who dictates that there is a word limit for the strategy! It's like those articles that have nothing to say, big and inappropriate, not a word is too much! Like this, the words of the old Cheng to seek the country are ten times more, no, they are a hundred times, and I like it too. McFuku, pass the decree to the six departments and nine qing, send Tang Shen's strategy down, let them take a good look, and write the future twists and turns like this! Dry it, say something useful! ”

"Yes, the old slave will do it."

McFuy hurriedly went down with the strategy, asked people to copy it, and distributed six copies. Li Ben was still kneeling on the ground, his whole body was already soaked with sweat, and there were two small puddles on the gold bricks under his neck, not to mention how embarrassed he was.

Jiajing's gaze became more and more Li Ben, staring at the aisle outside the hall.

"Li Ben, you are the examiner of the palace examination, tell me, what should I do with this subject?"

Li Ben's numb head turned, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, since Tang Shenzhi is deeply liked by His Majesty, the minister thinks that he can be named the champion." Seeing that Jiajing's face was not good, he was busy and changed his words, "Why don't you make a list of eyes, or explore flowers?" ”

Jiajing's face darkened directly, this second assistant was really stupid.

"If Yan Song, or Xu Jie, they won't make such a suggestion, get out!"

Li Ben hurriedly got up, hugged his head and ran away, and walked out of Yuxi Palace in embarrassment. Presiding over the palace examination is a good opportunity to enhance the status of the rivers and lakes, who knew that it would become such a ghost, and Li Ben regretted it. What scared him especially was that from beginning to end, he didn't guess Jiajing's thoughts, a courtier who didn't understand what the emperor thought, no matter how high he sat in, it was insignificant.

Suddenly, Li Ben had the urge to go back and ask for Zhishi.

……

If you want to say what Jiajing has calculated, in fact, Tang Yi guessed correctly, he wants to use Tang Shen, if he is given a first-class jinshi, Tang Shen will enter the Hanlin Academy and learn the rules and regulations, which is exactly the opposite of Jiajing's thoughts.

According to the original idea, it can be given to Tang Shen's second-class jinshi, but after reading this strategy, Jiajing has a new plan, such a talent cannot fall into the hands of Xu Jie, or Yan Song, and must only listen to me!

Jiajing pondered silently for a long time, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

……

Fengtian Palace, that is, the Taihe Hall of later generations, 30 battles wide, 15 zhang deep, majestic and tall, resplendent and brilliant, is the largest single wooden structure building in the world.

Hundreds of scholars stood in front of the main hall, looking insignificant. This is the symbol of the empire, the majesty of the Ming Dynasty, and everyone is excited. Jiang Yilin stood behind Tang Shen, staring at the eaves of the main hall with his eyes, and muttered: "One, two, three, four...... Ten! Sure enough, it's ten! He counted the ridged beasts on the roof, and there were up to nine in ordinary places, but the Fengtian Temple was ten, and the tenth was called Xingshi, which was quite similar to the legendary Lei Zhenzi.

Tang Yi mentioned it during the casual conversation yesterday, Jiang Yilin still didn't believe it, but when I looked at it today, it was really the case. Just as they were looking left and right, Xu Ge's short and capable body appeared in front of them, holding the holy decree in his hand and reciting it loudly.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said...... In the thirty-second year of Jiajing, there were three first-class jinshi, and the second class was 105, and the third-class was born with 295 jinshi, and the third-class was born with the jinshi......"

Although it is the same Jinshi, it is actually fundamentally different, and everyone's hearts are suspended.

"First place, Chen Jin...... Second place, Cao Dazhang ...... "Xu Ge read unhurriedly, and everyone who was named was overjoyed. Gradually, the second-class jinshi also finished reading, but there was no Tang Shen's name, which was very different from his results in the exam, Tang Shen's heart couldn't help but hang, could it be that there was something wrong with his strategy?

waited until the list of the top three jinshi, Tang Shen appeared in the first place, and finally finished reading, the first and second class jinshi want to enter the hall to thank him, and the top three can only wait outside, Tang Shen will inevitably be lost and embarrassed, but even if he can be a jinshi, isn't Wang Chen also a top three......

Just as Tang Shen was comforting himself, an old eunuch suddenly came over with a smile on his face.

"The Holy Lord's oracle, order the same Jinshi Tang Shen to enter the temple to face the saint!" (To be continued.) )
