Chapter 380: Zhen Wubo

After the Lantern Festival, under the auspices of Li Yuntian, the instructors and students of the Jingshi Lecture Martial Arts Hall held a solemn mourning ceremony for the instructors who died in Heiniu Town.

In the first battle of Heiniu Town, in order to stop the elite rebels under the Han Dynasty, three instructors and four deputy instructors of the Jingshi Lecture Wutang were killed in battle, and the bodies have been transported back to the capital and buried in the Jiangwutang Soldiers Cemetery on the outskirts of Beijing.

The reason why only the instructors died in battle was because Li Yuntian deliberately protected the students of the martial arts hall, in his opinion, those students were still in the period of study and training, and the most important thing at present was to be familiar with the operation of the army, and it was not suitable to go to the battlefield at all, otherwise they could only be sent to death in vain.

Therefore, the trainees of the lecture hall were distributed in the ranks of the Ming army in Dezhou, Qingzhou and Wu'an counties, and only one-fifth of the students in the Xiaowu army.

During the battle in Black Bull Town, the trainees of the Xiaowu Army were firmly kept by Li Yuntian's side, lest they have to fight with the rebels.

The Jiangwutang Soldiers Cemetery is located at the foot of a mountain in the northern suburbs of the capital, Li Yuntian received a favor from Emperor Xuande, and specially established a cemetery for burying the coffins of the war dead in the Jiangwutang, which is under the care of the Jiangwutang.

According to the rules set by Li Yuntian, as long as those who died bravely on the battlefield or died in the line of duty, not only should a memorial meeting be held, but they should also be buried in the soldiers' cemetery.

Of course, if someone wants to return to their roots, Jiangwutang will also respect the opinions of themselves and their relatives, and be responsible for transporting their coffins back to their hometown for burial.

In addition to the Jiangwutang Soldiers' Cemetery, Li Yuntian also specially built a martyr's hall in the Jiangwutang, and engraved the names of the war dead and those who died in the line of duty on the martyrs' monument in the Martyrs' Hall.

Through the Guò Soldiers' Cemetery, the Memorial Meeting and the Martyrs' Hall, Li Yuntian successfully made the instructors and students of the Jiangwutang have a sense of belonging, enhanced the cohesion of the Jiangwutang, and formed the unique culture of the Jiangwutang.

Since the Xiaowu Army is only a name given to the army composed of personnel drawn from various armies and prisoners at Li Yuntian's temporary suggestion, and it is not in the establishment of the Ming army, so legally speaking, the Xiaowu Army does not exist, and the soldiers in it still belong to the guard where they were originally located.

Therefore, after Emperor Xuande returned to Beijing in triumph, he immediately issued an order to let Li Yuntian formally form the Xiaowu Army, and put the Xiaowu Army under the name of Jiangwutang.

Not only that, Emperor Xuande also ordered the household department to allocate a large amount of money and goods confiscated from the officials in the Han King rebellion case to the Xiaowu army, which was enough for the military needs of the Xiaowu army for five or six years, which shows his love and expectations for the Xiaowu army.

In addition to the placement of the soldiers of the Xiaowu Army, Li Yuntian also had to be busy moving the families of those soldiers from other places to the capital, although he was ready to build the Xiaowu Army according to the new military system, but the Ming Dynasty implemented the guard system, and the soldiers of the Xiaowu Army were basically military households from all over the country, so their relatives would move to the station of the Xiaowu Army.

Li Yuntian already had a plan for the resettlement of the families of the Xiaowu army, and he planned to centralize the management of these military households, create a large farm-style township agricultural economy, and build villages and towns under the management of Jiangwutang on the territory of the Xiaowu army near Gyeonggi, and establish mutual aid cooperatives in each village and town.

What is particularly important is that in order to avoid the loss or annexation of land by military households, Li Yuntian specially formulated a rule for the military households under Jiangwutang, that is, it is forbidden to buy and sell land, and once it is verified, it will be severely punished.

At the same time, Li Yuntian also made a special stipulation, that is, military households really encountered difficulties, they could sell their fields to Jiangwutang, and Jiangwutang would pay for them at market prices and become Jiangwutang's property.

After Jiangwutang bought the land, it would let the military households who sold the land rent it for five years at a preferential price to help them tide over the difficulties.

If the military household is not able to buy the land back after five years, then the Jiangwutang will sell the land to others and do its best to protect the interests of the military household.

At the same time, in order to generate income for the Jiangwutang to earn military expenses for the Xiaowu Army, and also to settle the relatives of those who died in battle or were disabled due to injuries, Li Yuntian began to set up industries in Beizhili and Nanzhili in the name of Jiangwutang, such as restaurants, inns, iron smelting, porcelain, clothing, and so on.

Although the Ming Dynasty prohibits officials from doing business, it does not prohibit government-run enterprises, because the profits of government-run enterprises do not belong to individuals.

Unlike other government-run enterprises in the Ming Dynasty, Li Yuntian not only started an industry, but also established a sound personnel system and financial system to supervise the personnel of the government-run enterprises.

At the beginning of February of the second year of Xuande, Emperor Xuande issued a holy decree in the Taihe Hall to reward the meritorious personnel in the suppression of the rebellion of the Han King.

Among all the people who were rewarded, Li Yuntian and Zhou Zheng, the two sons-in-law, shined, and their merits were deservedly ranked in the top two.

Among them, Zhou Zheng was promoted to a young master by Emperor Xuande because of the fierce battle with Lu Zhongqian in Zhending Mansion, blocking Lu Zhongqian's intention to go north to the capital, so the credit was listed first, and he was promoted to a young master by Emperor Xuande, ranking among the three orphans, second only to Zhang Fu's Taishi.

Li Yuntian was knighted by Emperor Xuande for his military exploits and was awarded the title of Wubo because he recovered Qingzhou, Dengzhou, Laizhou and Cangzhou, and defeated the elite of the 40,000 rebels of the Han King in the Battle of Heiniu Town.

In addition to Li Yuntian and Zhou Zheng, the third place is naturally Zhang Hao, who led troops to fight fiercely with the King of Han in Dezhou in Shandong, and was promoted to the crown prince and prince because of his military exploits, and his status among the nobles was only below Zhang Fu and Zhou Zheng.

Other meritorious personnel have also been rewarded according to their military exploits, and they can be said to be very happy.

Among these people, there are two people who have to be mentioned, one is Li Daniu, and the other is Wang Jian.

Li Da Niu and Wang Jian were both richly rewarded for their participation in the Battle of Black Bull Town, and Li Da Niu was promoted to the commander of the guard of the Gyeonggi Governor's Office.

And Wang Jian finally fulfilled his dream of being knighted, and was named Xiao Yongbo by Emperor Xuande, and was promoted to one level and became the governor of the Gyeonggi Governor's Office.

However, Li Daniu did not go to the guard office under the Gyeonggi Governor's Office, but was transferred to the Jiangwutang and served as the deputy chief instructor of the Jiangwutang, becoming Li Yuntian's assistant.

The day after the reward, Emperor Xuande saw off the southbound counterinsurgency army led by Chengshan Hou Liusheng outside the city to quell the rebellion in Jiaozhi.

Among them, the crown prince and An Yuan Hou Liu were promoted to the deputy generals of the conquest and served as the general soldiers of Jiaozhi, Baoding Bo Liangming was the left deputy general soldiers, and Cui Ju, the governor of the Gyeonggi Metropolitan Governor's Office, was the right general and led the troops from Guangxi to Jiaozhi.

At the same time, Yunnan's Taifu and Qianguo Gong Mu Sheng were the generals of the southern expedition and served as the general of Yunnan, and Xu Heng of Xing'an Bo and Tan Zhong of Xinningbo were the deputy commanders of the left and right, and they entered from Yunnan.

Not only that, Emperor Xuande also served as the crown prince Shaobao, Li Qing, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Liu Sheng, counselor of the Ministry of Industry, and Huang Fu, the secretary of the Zhan Mansion and the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was in charge of the political secretary and the secretary of the judge, and walked with Liu Sheng.

It is worth mentioning that although Li Qing and Huang Fu both have the post of secretary of the Ministry of Industry in their official positions, Li Qing's secretary of the Ministry of Industry is a real position, and Huang Fu's secretary of the Ministry of Industry is a concurrent title, that is, a fictitious position, which is just a symbol of his status and status.

In view of the heroic performance of the Xiaowu army in quelling the rebellion of the Han King, Liu Sheng originally wanted to transfer the Xiaowu army to participate in the counterinsurgency of Jiaozhi, but was politely rejected by Li Yuntian on the grounds that the Xiaowu army had suffered heavy casualties in Heiniu Town and had not yet recovered.

This expedition to Jiaozhi coincided with the Ming army to quell the rebellion of the Han Dynasty, and everyone, including Emperor Xuande, would think that this battle would be won.

No one noticed the look of worry in Li Yuntian's eyes as he saw off the counterinsurgency army.

In late February, the triennial examination was held in the Gongyuan of the capital.

At the same time, a new batch of students were ushered in in the lecture hall, and they belonged to the new subject of the lecture hall - medicine.

Li Yuntian had long wanted to add a medical department to the lecture hall, so after the end of the first battle in Heiniu Town, he asked the instructors and deputy instructors of the lecture hall to issue notices in the state capitals of North and South Zhili.

All candidates who have achieved excellent results in the re-examination last year and want to become medical officers in the army, then they should register with the instructors and deputy instructors of the Jiangwutang in the state capitals of Nanzhili and Beizhili, and show that the medical department is the same as other subjects of the Jiangwutang, and its students belong to the officers of the Xiaowu Army under the jurisdiction of the Jiangwutang

After the names of those candidates were registered, the instructors and deputy instructors of the Jiangwutang in the northern and southern state capitals went to Beijing and Nanjing with the list to compile and admit those candidates according to their results.

If in the past, the candidates were still worried about the way out after graduating from the martial arts hall, then when the Xiaowu Army was born and made great achievements in quelling the rebellion of the Han King, the candidates had dispelled this idea, so there were many candidates who signed up, which was beyond Li Yuntian's expectations.

In April, the busy Li Yuntian ushered in an important opportunity in his life: after sitting in the Wenyuan Pavilion for three years, the Shuji scholars finally waited for their long-awaited disbandment exam.

The Kujishi who have achieved excellent results in the Sanguan examination will be able to enter the Hanlin Academy and become a veritable Hanlin, and the rest of the Kujishi will be assigned to the major ministries and institutes as errands.

Li Yuntian performed well in the Sanguan exam, and the exam paper was judged to be the first by Hu Ying, the chief examiner of the Ministry of Rites, and then entered the Hanlin Academy smoothly.

Generally speaking, a new entrant to the Hanlin Academy, the Gils, would be appointed as the Honlin Editor of the Seventh Grade.

However, Li Yuntian's situation was very special, his civil official position was already the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Sixth Rank of the Metropolitan Procuratorate of Huguang Dao before the rebellion was quelled, so he was appointed as the Hanlin Attendant of the Sixth Rank of the Hanlin Academy after this Tongguò Sanguan examination.

It is worth mentioning that Li Yuntian's Zhenwubo is a military attache official position, which does not conflict with his civilian official position, and belongs to the positions of the two systems, which means that he has both civilian and military positions.

This phenomenon was very rare in the early Ming Dynasty, because in the early Ming Dynasty, the status of civil ministers and military attaches was equal, so the positions could not be crossed, because neither civil ministers nor military attachés wanted the other party to command themselves.

After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the military attache gradually declined, and then there was a phenomenon of unifying the military with literature, and the commander who led the troops to fight was not a military general, but became a civil official in the imperial court.!^!
