To say that this extraordinary power exists in the world, and the great power is attributed to the individual in the Ming Dynasty, the status of the military attache should not be so low. In the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, when the far-sighted emperor set the grade of officials, a military attache of 100 households in charge of an army of 100 people had a full grade of six grades, and a county parent official who was in charge of hundreds of thousands of people was only 7 grades.

Why?

Because the military attachés at that time were all internal martial artists who had entered the door, and they were all real transcendentals!

After the collapse of the Confucian and Taoist sacred weapons relied on by the Confucian literati in the late Song Dynasty, the cultivation difficulty of Confucianism's extraordinary power Wenhua Qi and Haoran righteousness became more and more difficult day by day.

In a real transcendent world, how can the status of ordinary people be compared to the transcendent military attachés who have entered the gate of the internal force martial arts?

Therefore, this is one of the important reasons why the military attachés of the Ming Dynasty are higher than the civilian officials in this world!

At that time, when Ming Taizu set up the military household guard system, he took a very long-term view and allocated enough military land to each guard station.

In fact, the entire Xiaoling Guard is located not far from the south of Tianfu City, with an area of more than 160 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the land the size of five Macao in the Earth plane of the Celestial Empire before the main god Great Light Ball crossed.

Except for the core area, which covers an area of about 3 square kilometers, the "Filial Piety Tomb" cannot be moved, and everything in the remaining huge area will be managed by the command of the guard.

This area is very large, and most of the land is plain, and it is not difficult to feed an army of 20,000 men, so that it is mostly or even completely self-sufficient, if not developed.

Emperor Taizu at the beginning of the dynasty once proudly declared: "I raise millions of soldiers, and I don't need a grain of rice for the people!" ”

However, no matter how wise the system is, it cannot resist the erosion of time and the depravity of human nature.

After a thousand years, especially after the calamity of the end of the Dharma era that brought about a decrease in the concentration of spiritual energy began to show, the Ming Dynasty military attaches in the frontier areas were fine, and the pressure of survival forced them to forge ahead; But the military attachés of the inland guard station are different, the hereditary system and the daily life of the wind and snow have really corrupted their blood.

Coupled with the increasingly difficult cultivation environment of the end of the Dharma era, most inland military attachés gave up the most important martial arts practice, which was to return great power to their own bodies.

Most of the military attachés who had that resource and were able to become martial artists in the stream of internal forces degenerated into "mortals" of the same level as ordinary civil officials, coupled with the later "Tumubao Wolf Disaster", a generation of Wenzong Yu Qian used official qi to pull the dragon qi, suppressed the golden wolf shaman of Wara, and won the battle to defend the capital division, so that the prestige of the military attache and noble faction plummeted, and gradually, the status of the military attache was compared with the elite of the imperial examination.

Later, the vice of "eating empty salaries" appeared among the military attaches of the inland guards, and gradually spread, and even corroded the foundation of the empire's armed forces.

For example, at this time in front of him, Lin Pingzhi arrived at noon on the second day of his arrival in the Nanjing area.

Because when he arrived at the Xiaoling Wei area on the first day, twilight had fallen, so he did not immediately meet his subordinates, but waited until now, with the pseudonym Lin Boxing, under the escort of more than a dozen strong dart division sergeants who had just transferred to the Xiaoling Army, to the core of the Xiaoling Guard, and inspected the existing officers and soldiers of the Xiaoling Guard.

Because he had sent people to notify him in advance before he came, when Lin Pingzhi led people into the school grounds, almost the entire Xiaolingwei jurisdiction, the middle-aged men who could move were concentrated here.

What seems to be a black oppressive piece actually only accounts for one-tenth of the vast school area, and the total number is only about 1,100 people, of which there are only 600 regular soldiers in armor.

Under normal circumstances, a huge guard area with a full number of 20,000 soldiers, plus the attached military families, artisan armory shops, etc., can reach more than 50,000 or 60,000 men in the prime of life, and now after all the mobilization, the men in the prime of life have just broken the four figures, which shows how serious Lin Pingzhi's predecessor was to eat empty salaries!

In this time and space, the empty salary of the Ming local guard station is not simply to eat military salaries and silver, but refers to the hereditary military attachés relying on their status and power, encroaching on the military households and military fields below, and privately turning the national military households into small farmers attached to private individuals.

For example, now that he has been transferred to other places, Lin Pingzhi's predecessor Xiaolingwei commander used various means to turn the fields of regular military households into his own fields and the population of military households into serfs of his own family during his long tenure.

After learning that it was the emperor's son-in-law and champion who took over, and felt that there was no hope of confrontation, he simply took away all the people who had embezzled them after receiving the order, leaving only the remnants of a thousand people.

If Lin Pingzhi was not a reincarnation, but a native emperor who was fortunate enough to obtain the title of the champion and the son-in-law of this time and space, seeing the scene in front of him where the nine floors of space in the big school field were empty, he would have to scold his predecessor's mother!

But as a reincarnation from the afterlife, from the incarnation of the leader of the Heavenly Kingdom on Earth of Taipingism, Lin Pingzhi accepted all this very calmly.

Because the fewer people remain, the less resistance they will encounter in the innovation initiated by Lin Pingzhi later.

Moreover, although the remaining number of people is small, they are all essences, and Lin Pingzhi feels that not only has he not lost, but he has made a lot of money!

At the front of the school field, there were only six officials of Xiaolingwei Thousand Households and Hundred Households who were prostrate and half-kneeling in front of Lin Pingzhi, but almost all of them were internal martial artists in the third-rate realm of martial arts, and two of them were even more vigorous and full of internal qi, as if there were signs of breaking through the second-rate internal force realm.

"Everyone, get up!"

Originally, because Shangguan was silent as soon as he arrived at the school, the six military attachés who were nervous in their hearts heard Lin Pingzhi finally speak, and under the leadership of a middle-aged military attache wearing a thousand household armor and a rather stable temperament, the six military attachés all stood up.

"Thank you, sir!"

"The leader of a thousand households, but Mei Chun?"

Lin Pingzhi's calm voice was heard in the ears of the military attachés from far and near, and it was clearly audible in the school field where the sand was flying and the noise was quite loud.

On the opposite side of him, Mei Chun, a military attache of a thousand households who was about to break through the realm of second-rate internal force, forcibly suppressed the surprise in his heart, stepped forward, and respectfully saluted Lin Pingzhi with a fist.

"But it's a lowly position!"

This military attache of a thousand households who had just secretly used the family heirloom Qi secret technique to spy on Lin Pingzhi was shocked to find that he couldn't see through how strong Lin Pingzhi was!

To be able to clearly transmit the sound to himself and others in this wind and sand, it is naturally impossible not to have the slightest cultivation, and Lin Pingzhi, the background of the Shangguan, he also understood it in advance, he was born in a martial arts family, and he must have a way to practice internal strength.

However, those who let themselves use secret techniques to see through them are at least one martial arts realm higher than themselves.

"Yes, Mei Jiayingjie, it's really extraordinary."

Knowing that in later history, it was this person who led more than 1,000 remnants of the army, briefly blocked the footsteps of the Daqing braided cavalry in Nanjing, and won a critical time for the remnants of the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Lin Pingzhi opened his mouth to praise.

"Lord Lin praised it falsely."

Hearing Lin Pingzhi's praise, he boldly raised his head and saw that his expression as a Shangguan did not seem to be fake, although he didn't know where he was looked at by Shangguan at the moment, but Mei Chun, the military attache of Qianhu, still hurriedly responded.

"In front of adults, such a coarse person who is lowly and lowly, how can he dare to be called heroic."

"Why don't you dare to weigh it?"

"We came from Beijing, and there were no less than 20 Weisho districts along the way, and I only saw 4 military attaches who had entered the stream with thousands of official positions."

Jingshi to Nanjing, it can be said that he has crossed half of the inland of the Ming Dynasty, what kind of goods are the military attaches of the inland guards along the road, Lin Pingzhi can be said to know it, and continued sincerely at the moment.

"And here, including you and a few hundred households behind you, there are six people in the stream."

"It is not an exaggeration to be able to clean yourself in the sewage pool, I call you heroic!"

The Mei family, where the Meichun Qianhu is located, although it has now declined to the point that only he is left with a descendant male, but his ancestors have also been brilliant, he has been the concubine of Emperor Taizu, and he has several six or seven generations, and several top noble families in Nanjing Yingtian Mansion are still related.

This is also one of the reasons why Mei Chun can take a few hundred military attaches and protect himself under the protection of several greedy Xiaolingwei commanders.

Hearing Lin Pingzhi's praise, Qianhu Meichun could only nod yes, but in his heart, he still had a good impression of Lin Pingzhi's face-saving Shangguan.

Next, thousands of households Mei Chun and several hundred households led six hundred regular soldiers to perform martial arts in front of Lin Pingzhi.

For a time, the blood in the school field rose.

Although the young soldiers under Mei Chun's protection have never seen blood, they are all strong, agile, and orderly in the changes of the military formation, and they are enough to be called elite soldiers in the Ming Dynasty during this period.

Lin Pingzhi, the commander who could read the review, and Lin Boxing, who was newly appointed as a thousand-household official behind him, nodded again and again······
