Chapter 600: The Army of the Son of Heaven (9th Update)
In Wang Shouren's opinion, the relationship between him and Ye Chunqiu is probably similar to that of his brother. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that...... This 'little brother' is about the same age as his own son.
Wang Shouren felt a little funny about this idea that came up for him, so he said and said, "Spring and Autumn, the foolish brother only asks you one thing. ”
Ye Chunqiu thought in his heart: "This famous uncle, I'm afraid I'm going to start talking." ”
How can a person not have ideas? What's more, he is still a person who has just returned from playing in the mud from Guizhou for a few years! I'm afraid that in the past few years, Wang Shouren has been thinking about life there, but I don't know what life insights he has?
The two walked out of the palace while talking, Wang Shouren looked very cautious, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Town." Country. Do Liu Gongren and others agree with military matters? ”
"Huh?" Ye Chunqiu unexpectedly asked this the first question Wang Shouren asked.
Wang Shouren's expression was very serious, and he continued: "Have you ever thought about the Spring and Autumn Period, why are the martial artists in this world so humble? ”
"Hey......" Speaking of this, he put his hands behind his back and sighed, before continuing: "Actually, it is not true to say that the martial arts are humble, you see the palace guards and Jin Wuwei and Jinyi guards in the capital, which one is not envied by everyone?" Why is that? This is because they are the Son of Heaven's own army; And what about the Upper Four Guards and the Warrior Battalion? Which time was the expansion of the Warrior Battalion not crowded with countless people who wanted to serve? Why is that? This is because everyone in the world, anyone knows that this horse prison is the backer of the warrior camp, the Spring and Autumn Period, the world is profit-seeking, the so-called world is bustling for profit, the world is bustling for profit; If you want everyone to be a moral gentleman, you can't help but force others. The status of martial artists is humble, in essence, the vast majority of the guards in the world have no backers, they are not warrior battalions, and they are not brocade guards, so ...... If you want to build a new army, you must first determine whose military horse it is? ”
Ye Chunqiu frowned and said, "This is what Your Majesty meant. ”
Wang Shouren smiled and said: "But you forget, among the Son of Heaven's army, there are more than 20 guards, and these all claim to be the military horses of the Son of Heaven, but why are the popular ones always Jinyiwei, the palace avant-garde and the Jinwuwei, why do you say?" This is because whoever is closer to His Majesty can be called a pro-army, and as for the rest, it is just in name. ”
Wang Shouren looked at Ye Chunqiu's thoughtful expression, paused, and said, "It is precisely because of this that I asked Chunqiu, this town." Country. What kind of military horse is the army? Although the foolish brother heard that it is now temporarily towned. Country. The army is not established, but since His Majesty personally promoted the construction, then it should be the army of the Son of Heaven, and besides, what else? Town. Country. The army should always have a backer. ”
Ye Chunqiu felt that Wang Shouren had something to say, and couldn't help but say, "Then what does Brother Wang mean?" ”
Wang Shouren said: "Since only 100 people are recruited, then you might as well raise the standard a little, how about taking Tongsheng as the backbone?" ”
Ye Chunqiu suddenly realized that Wang Shouren meant to let students enlist in the army!
You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, there are countless scholars, but the people who can really get into the examination are like carp crossing the river, I don't know how many poor people have barely read, but they still can't get into the students, they are disheartened, but they have to find other livelihoods to make a living, Jiangnan is like this, and the same is true for Jingshi, because of the flood of readers, and even many talents are difficult to make a living.
The imperial examination, after all, is a single-plank bridge, anyway, it is now a town. The military quota is 100 people, so naturally the conditions can be appropriately set more favorably to attract some children, but ......
Ye Chunqiu glanced at the eldest brother, and Wang Shouren still said: "In addition, if you spread a little news, just say it...... There is a suppression of the town in the palace. The meaning of the army, especially the warrior battalion......"
Ye Chunqiu was stunned for a moment, lying down, the eldest brother's mind was deep enough.
Recruiting children is bound to attract criticism.
After all, let the scholars go to Rong, in this era, there will definitely be people who will scold, which is no different from abducting and selling women from good families to do ji.
But what will happen next when the news of the suppression of the Warrior Camp is released?
This criticism will definitely be subsided for the time being, because the warrior camp has a bad reputation, why is it bad, because it is subordinate to the imperial horse supervisor, because it is a military horse in the hands of the eunuchs.
In this era, the relationship between scholars and eunuchs was similar to that between doctors and patients in later generations, and it was always tense.
The Warrior Battalion suppressed the town. Army, isn't this equivalent to a eunuch attacking readers? Although Tongsheng is of low grade, he is still half a reader, isn't it? What's more, the leading figure is the champion of Zhengde for five years, and the deputy is Jinshi for the twelfth year of Hongzhi.
So next...... What will happen?
Ye Chunqiu thought about it, and then his spirit was shocked, and he suddenly felt that it was not for nothing that his eldest brother went to Guizhou to play in the mud, and even he wanted to go there for a few years, after all, being idle every day is also idle, and after a year, the time to think about life is equivalent to someone else's life.
Wang Shouren only looked at Ye Chunqiu's expression, and immediately knew that Ye Chunqiu understood what he meant, and looked at Ye Chunqiu meaningfully and said: "Spring and Autumn Period, those who do great things, the most taboo is to be brutal, the relationship between the Ming Dynasty is complicated, since we can't please anyone, then we might as well determine our position first, and it is naturally necessary to be loyal to the Son of Heaven, but we can't do without helpers, Zhenguo." The army now has neither establishment nor food, which is equivalent to a lone army, and you and I, one is a cultivator, the other is a post minister, who is humble and wants to make this town. If the army is different, it must do something unusual, otherwise it will be inferior to the guards, and in the end it will not even be as good as those guards who can be paid. ”
Ye Chunqiu listened to Wang Shouren's unique opinion, his face became dark, and he nodded: "In this matter, I have to find a vacancy to enter the palace and say hello to Your Majesty first." ”
Wang Shouren couldn't help but be slightly stunned, he suddenly realized that his brother-in-law was really not simple at all, but behind this fifteen-year-old boy, there was an unusual stability.
He said with a straight face: "It's as it should be, it's just ...... This recruitment of soldiers, even if it is only a hundred people, is not a small amount of money, does this town have any money? ”
Wang Shouren was not a utopian after all, and he quickly moved from theory to practical problems.
Do you have any money? I don't have any money, so I'll tell you a yarn.
Ye Chunqiu smiled at this time and said, "This ...... I have to go back and flip through the account books, and I don't know if I can draw out tens of thousands of taels, but the expenses of one or two months must be enough. ”
At this time, it was Wang Shouren's turn to be surprised, tens of thousands of taels already made him feel a little rich, but Ye Chunqiu also added a sentence that it could last for a month or two, which ...... What is the concept...... (To be continued.) )
