Chapter 309: Plan and then Act [Second Update]
(
At the end of November of the first year of Hongxi, Chen Qia, the secretary of the military department, reported to Emperor Xuande that Li Li, the thief leader of Jiaozhi Qinghua Prefecture, had led the crowd to capture Chalong Prefecture in Anfu and killed Qinpeng in Zhizhou. The update is the fastest and most stable
Emperor Xuande was furious when he heard this, and ordered Chen Zhi, the general of Jiaozhi, Li An, and Jiaozhi, all to command Fang Zheng to lead the troops to conscript.
Seeing that Emperor Xuande ordered a crusade against Li Li, Li Yuntian, who was standing in the imperial history queue, couldn't help but shake his head secretly, I am afraid that Chen Zhi and others will have a lot of bad luck.
After Huang Fu, who was the former political envoy of Jiaozhi and concurrently served as the envoy of the Procuratorial Envoy for Punishment and the Procuratorial Envoy, was recalled to Beijing by Emperor Hongxi, Li Yuntian often visited him to understand the customs and current situation of Jiaozhi, and he heard the name Li Li from Huang Fu.
Li Li was originally an inspector of the inspection department of Ole County, Qinghua Province, Jiaozhi, a well-known local wealthy family, because he was dissatisfied with the rule of the officials of the Jiaozhi Bu Political Envoy Division, he led the people to rebel in Lanshan Township in the sixteenth year of Yongle and proclaimed himself "King of Pingding".
Jiaozhi political envoy Feng Gui and right political envoy Hou Bao were ready to lead the troops to go to the crusade, which could have exterminated Li Li who had not yet become a force in one fell swoop, but Ma Qi, the lieutenant officer of the Jiaozhi Supervision Army, had a gap with the two of them, and did not want the two to make this exploit, so they only gave the two hundreds of old and weak soldiers, which made the two defeated and killed, and Li Li also took advantage of the situation to sit big.
Huang Fu also deepened the contradiction with Ma Qi because of this incident, and was like fire and water, and was finally framed by Ma Qi secretly and was recalled to the capital by Emperor Hongxi, which also made Ma Qi more unscrupulous in Jiaozhi.
After these years of conquest, Li Li has full wings, and occupies the time, geography, and people, although Chen Zhi and others have the advantage of troops, but it is not easy to defeat Li Li.
However, this was exactly an opportunity that Li Yuntian was looking forward to: if the imperial court could not exterminate Li Li, then it was necessary to withdraw the army from Jiaozhi, and he would take the initiative to ask Ying to fight, which was an excellent time to form a new army.

The battle in Jiaozhi is too far away from Li Yuntian, so he will ignore it and concentrate on the preparation of the lecture hall, and now that the imperial court has used troops against Jiaozhi, then in any case, the lecture hall will be opened in the first half of next year.
Time is like water, time is like a shuttle, and in a blink of an eye, the first year of Hongxi is about to pass.
On December 27 of the first year of Hongxi, the snow was falling, but the atmosphere in the newly built auditorium of the Jingshi Lecture Hall was extremely warm, and there were more than 100 men wearing black "color" military uniforms and wearing black "color" high hats with large brim military hats, and they were about to become martial arts instructors and strategy instructors in the lecture hall.
Li Yuntian used his brains for the matter of military hats, if he wore the kind of black yarn of the civil and military officials, it would undoubtedly look nondescript, so he made appropriate adaptations, removed the two wings of the black yarn hat, and added a brim in front of it, which became a high hat-style military hat, and the bun on his head could be worn into the hat.
After the assessment some time ago, Li Yuntian will officially confer the titles of martial arts instructor and strategy instructor today, which means that those instructors have officially become the people of the Jingshi Martial Arts Hall.
On the high platform in front of the auditorium, Zhu Yongqing, the king of fortune, Zhang Fu of the United Kingdom, Yang Shiqi, the first assistant of the cabinet, Jianyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Chen Qia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhou Zheng, the prince of Zhongguo, sat in front of a row of long tables covered with red silk cloth.
In order to raise the level of this award ceremony, Li Yuntian specially invited a decree from Emperor Xuande, asking Zhang Fu and other important ministers of the court and King Fu to confer titles on those instructors together.
Including King Fu, they felt quite curious about the award ceremony prepared by Li Yuntian, and talked with each other with great interest.
The first to be awarded the title was naturally Li Yuntian, although he wore a military rank on weekdays, but it was only for those fierce martial arts instructors, and it was not recognized by the imperial court.
It was King Fu who gave Li Yuntian the title, and he personally put on the rank and seniority card of the major to Li Yuntian, and Li Yuntian will officially join the Jingshi Lecture Martial Arts Hall and serve as the chief instructor of the Jingshi Lecture Martial Arts Hall.
"Thank you, Lord Wang!" After wearing the military rank and seniority card, Li Yuntian put his legs together and saluted King Fu with a solemn expression.
King Fu smiled, a smile of relief fell from the corner of his mouth, to be honest, he didn't have much hope for Wutang at the beginning, but now it seems that Li Yuntian really has a set, and he has arranged everything in Wutang in an orderly manner, full of vitality and vitality.
According to Li Yuntian's customized regulations, unless he has to kneel down when he sees the emperor, he will perform a new-style military salute when he meets other civil and military officials.
Then, Li Yuntian turned around and saluted the martial arts instructors and strategy instructors in the audience, and strode down under the gaze of everyone.
The next to be awarded the title was Captain, then Lieutenant, and the titles were conferred by Fu Wang and Zhang Fu to the martial arts and strategy instructors: [30615671 Zhi Zai Da Ming Zhi Da Ming] 306 Zhi Zai Da Ming 309
There are a total of 76 martial arts instructors, 25 instructors are awarded captains, and 31 deputy instructors are awarded lieutenants;
There are a total of 40 strategic instructors, 20 instructors are awarded captains, and 20 deputy instructors are awarded lieutenants.
Among them, the captain corresponds to the seventh grade, the lieutenant corresponds to the seventh grade, and the instructors of the martial arts hall will receive their respective salaries according to their grades.
Li Yuntian gave these instructors a few days off to go home to visit, and on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, they gathered at the lecture hall, and then divided into two groups and went to the state capitals to which Nanzhili and Beizhili belonged to supervise the local martial arts examinations.
Li Yuntian attached great importance to the first batch of students in the martial arts hall, for fear that the local yamen would be neglected, so he sent those instructors to be supervisors.
Of course, those instructors went down under the banner of King Fu, although King Fu didn't care much about the affairs of the martial arts, but after all, he was the secretary of the martial arts, and the banner of the king of Fu was also very effective, and those prefects and prefectures had to give some face.
As for the re-examination of Nanzhili and Beizhili, Li Yuntian is ready to personally check and admit those qualified candidates.
According to the plan, he had to first supervise the examination of the candidates of the Northern Zhili in the Beijing Gongyuan, and then go south along the canal non-stop to the Nanjing Gongyuan to supervise the examination of the candidates of the Southern Zhili, which can be described as very hurried.
In the festive atmosphere of the capital, Li Yuntian ushered in the Spring Festival of the first year of Xuande, and the family happily gathered together to have a lively New Year's dinner.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Anbang and other children kowtowed to Li Yuntian under the leadership of Zhou Yuting and others.
The business of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce last year was very good, not only consolidating the territory in Jiangxi and Huguang, but also greatly expanding the market in North and South Zhili, Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou made a lot of money for this, and the Li family account office already had a lot of money on the books.
Li Yuntian plans to use the money to expand new business, using Ganzhou Mansion in Jiangxi Province as a base to develop the adjacent Guangdong market, and Yongzhou Mansion in Huguang as a base to develop the adjacent Guangxi market.
This is the plan he has planned a long time ago: Guangxi is close to Jiaozhi, and the Ming army's war in Jiaozhi is absolutely inseparable from the support in Guangxi; Guangdong's proximity to Luzon Island allows it to exploit Luzon's resources and expand maritime trade.
In the past few years, the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce has strengthened its investment in Ganzhou and Yongzhou, and has established two sizable commercial bases there, which can now be used as a springboard into the Liangguang region.
Except for Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou, no one knew Li Yuntian's intention to do this, and they didn't know why Li Yuntian attached so much importance to Ganzhou Mansion and Yongzhou Mansion.
According to the development of the Jiaozhi battle situation, Li Yuntian estimated that by the second year of Xuande, the outside world would almost know the reason why he did this.
After Li Anbang and other juniors finished paying their respects, Li Yuntian led his family to the Zhongguo Mansion and went to pay New Year's greetings to Zhou Zheng.
Because Lu Cao, Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou have the imperial court's edict, they are also qualified to participate in such grand occasions, and at the same time, they are also to enhance the relationship with the Zhou family.
New Year's greetings and being greeted are the eternal themes of the Spring Festival, and Li Yuntian not only has to pay New Year's greetings to those high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital, but also has to deal with the many officials who come to him to pay New Year's greetings, which can be described as very busy.
Among those who came to pay New Year's greetings, Han Anyu, the official of Tobu Lake Guangqing, can be said to be the most proud.
Han Anyu visited Li Yuntian after entering Beijing last year, Li Yuntian instructed him to devote himself to Yang Pu's door, Han Anyu was very suspicious at that time, and he didn't know why Li Yuntian did this, but he still did as Li Yuntian said.
When Yang Pu was inspected by Emperor Xuande into the cabinet, Han Anyu suddenly realized that Li Yuntian's vision was so long-term, and he saw through Yang Pu at a glance that he would be reused in the future, and he admired Li Yuntian in his heart.
Since then, Han Anyu is no longer an ownerless duckweed in the capital, with Yang Pu, the pavilion elder, covered by him, who was promoted from other places and has no foundation in the capital, he can finally stand up and be a man.
Han Anyu told Li Yuntian that Yang Pu admired him a lot, although many people in the capital said that Li Yuntian's preparation for the construction of the martial arts hall was not a serious business, but Yang Pu did not see it that way, thinking that Li Yuntian had both astronomy and martial arts, and was a rare talent.
Being so praised by the cabinet elders, Li Yuntian felt that it was worth it to be tired of preparing for the martial arts hall, and it seemed that Yang Pu had a good impression of him.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Yuntian went to the lecture hall and assigned their tasks to the martial arts instructors and strategy instructors in the auditorium.
There are eight prefectures and two prefectures in the north, fourteen prefectures and four prefectures in the south, a total of 28 prefectures, each prefecture sends 4 instructors to supervise the examination, and the remaining 4 instructors stay in the lecture hall to watch their families.
For those instructors who were sent to the north and south to supervise the examination, Li Yuntian put forward a clear request, that is, after arriving at the state capital, they should act in a high-flying manner, and they must show that the Jingshi Lecture Hall is the head of the Xuande Emperor's Imperial Forest Army.
Moreover, he also specifically instructed those who dared to obstruct the martial arts examination, no matter who they were, to be arrested and thrown into prison on the grounds of sabotaging the martial arts, and then he would be dealt with at that time.
With the "Shang Fang Sword" given by Li Yuntian, the instructors are all gearing up and eager to try: it may be a little difficult for them to be a man with their tails between their legs, but when it comes to flying and domineering, the people of the Beijing army and the yamen of the major ministries and institutes are very familiar with it.
On the fifteenth day of the first month, Emperor Xuande set up a grand dinner in the Forbidden City to celebrate the Lantern Festival with the Chinese military ministers, and the princes and ministers enjoyed together.
In front of those high-ranking officials and dignitaries, Li Yuntian, who was summoned to the banquet by Emperor Xuande's decree, only sat at the end of the seat on the left, the chief on the left sat Yang Shiqi, the first assistant of the cabinet, and the chief on the right was King Fu.
Sitting at the same wine table with Li Yuntian was Yu Qian, the Shandong Provincial Inspector Yu Qian, who was transferred from the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it seems that Emperor Xuande also favored him.
Among the Jinshi of the Xin Chou Branch in the Yongle Nian, Li Yuntian and Yu Qian are undoubtedly the two most valued by Emperor Xuande, and Li Yuntian, who was admitted to the Shu Jishi, has vaguely become the leader of the Xin Chouke Jinshi.
At the dinner, Emperor Xuande summoned the envoy sent by the King of Han to the capital to present the Lantern Festival lanterns to him, and replied to thank him afterwards as usual, and asked the King of Han to give words and teachings during the New Year's Festival, and there was no need to bother to offer lanterns.
Regarding the matter of the envoy sent by the king of Han to offer lanterns, the ministers of the court once admonished Emperor Xuande, pointing out that the king of Han offered lanterns was fake, and it was true to spy on the movements of the court, and asked Emperor Xuande to take precautions as soon as possible in case of accidents.
Emperor Xuande disagreed, and still treated the King of Han with sincerity, and turned a blind eye to the lantern envoys and some civil and military officials in the capital, and continued to adopt a policy of indulgence to "confuse" and "confuse" the King of Han, making him slack and arrogant
