In May of the first year of Jiajing, the Jingshi continued to shake!

In the first battle of Xuanfu, more than 1,100 soldiers were killed in the Ming Dynasty, and the Son of Heaven paid each fallen soldier 200 taels of silver and ten acres of land tax exemption, who would have thought that it would be embezzled by the local government.

The Son of Heaven was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, and on the first day of the fifth month, forty-six officials who embezzled pension money were beheaded outside the noon gate!

There is no dismissal, no exile, and the Son of Heaven has made it clear that all officials who are corrupt will be beheaded and will not be tolerated!

In addition to embezzling pension money, there are also people abducted and those who embezzle disaster relief money, and they will not be tolerated.

This is when today's son clearly tells the world what his bottom line is!

The dragon has reverse scales, and it will be angry if you touch it! The Son of Heaven was angry, bleeding and drifting!

In addition, a temple was built in the inner city of Beijing, called the Ming Martyrs' Shrine.

The memorial plaque of all the Ming Dynasty memorials is enshrined in the shrine, and the household registration, merits, and battles participated in by the fallen soldiers are specially recorded in the book for future generations to consult.

The most impressive thing for the people is the monument!

The stele is as high as eight zhang, one zhang wide, there is an altar under the stele, and there is an altar in front of the stele.

On the stele, there are seven big characters written by the Son of Heaven and the imperial pen.

Monument to the heroes and martyrs of the Ming Dynasty!

But all the people of the Ming Dynasty want to pay tribute to the fallen heroic souls, they can take their own incense and candles in front of the altar, but those who hinder or speak disrespectfully will be sentenced to blasphemy against the heroic souls!

Manjing City and even all the people who heard the news could feel the will of the Son of Heaven to strengthen the army, and when the news reached the Tiance Army, the Nine Sides and even the entire Tianxia Guard, almost all the soldiers were moved.

The status of martial artists is low, and they are even ranked behind the four people, but they are despised by the literati for protecting their families and defending the country.

However, now the Son of Heaven is telling the subjects of the world that the Son of Heaven wants to strengthen the army and improve the status of the army, and he can do whatever it takes to do so!

With such a holy monarch in the court, who in the army of the world can not serve him with death!

"That's a lot of stuff." Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting in Xuanfu, pouted, threw aside the news handed back from the capital, and calculated the time, the escorted prisoners were about to arrive at the border of the capital.

"Someone! Come! Come! Zhu Houzhao slapped the table on the mountain.

The dignified deputy chief of the Xuanfu Wei Xin has become Zhu Houzhao's personal commander, of course, it is not possible to change it in any place, but the Xuanfu ......

The mighty general is the Emperor Zhengde, so I ask you if you are convinced......

"Master Hou, what are your orders?" Wei Xin asked with a shy face.

Zhu Houzhao squinted at Wei Xin, Nima, you are a duke and call me to wait...... Father?

You can shout too!

Today's Ming Dynasty is not the era of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Yongle, in order to suppress the generals, the means of civil officials can be described as endless, and generally want to be knighted, the easiest and most difficult way is to give birth to a good daughter, and this daughter has to enter the palace to become a queen, not even a concubine.

When her daughter becomes the queen, her mother's family will be knighted, such as Empress Zhang's two younger brothers, such as Empress Xue's father Xue Yuanliang.

This is the ancestral system, even if the civil officials can't pry it, but then again, it's nonsense to say how much the civil officials care, after all, in the Ming Dynasty, in order to prevent foreign relatives from interfering in politics, the imperial court can almost be said to have done it to the extreme.

In the Ming generation, in Zhu Houwei's impression, it seems that only the queens of Emperor Jianwen, Emperor Yongle, Emperor Hongxi and Emperor Xuande were not from civilian backgrounds, that is to say, starting from Emperor Yingzong, the queens of the Ming Empire were all folk women from small households.

Without a strong mother's power, the harem will become a rootless peace, and the relatives will lose a title but have no chance to enter the political arena, or even if they were petty officials before, they will never have the opportunity to enter the center, how can the relatives interfere in politics?

Prevent relatives from interfering in politics, and this was done by the Ming Dynasty.

Since ancient times, the biggest and most direct way to be knighted is military exploits, and successive dynasties have always had such a conventional system that non-military merits do not wait.

It's a pity that since the defeat of the God of War Emperor Tumubao, the Ming Dynasty has basically lost the capital to attack externally, and since then, the Ming Dynasty has completely changed from offensive to defensive.

Relying on the Great Wall and fortresses to resist the Mongol cavalry, but it may not be able to block the in-depth tactics of the Mongols, relying only on the border generals of the Jiading, how can the overstretched guards hold such a long defensive line, so the matter of breaking the border and looting has almost become the norm.

Even if there is an occasional victory, it is not worth mentioning, such as decapitating the third level and daring to report a great victory......

If you want to be knighted for such a military exploit, wouldn't the title of Daming become a joke.

However, the Battle of Dushikou was different!

This is the first battle in the true sense of the Son of Heaven to rectify the forbidden army, reorganize the new army, and then let the new army take over the defense of the nine sides, and it is also the first battle to verify the combat effectiveness of the new army!

If the new army is still mainly defensive, as before, or is still broken through the defense line of the Great Wall by the Mongol army, then the reorganization of the new army by the Son of Heaven will become a complete joke.

But if you can achieve a big victory in the frontier, such as beheading a hundred or even hundreds of levels, it means that the combat power of the new army is indeed stronger than the previous border army, and the Son of Heaven has invested so much money in reorganizing the new army, it is not a waste.

Just when the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty questioned, disdained and even ridiculed, the Battle of Dushikou broke out!

An unusual encounter, an unusual result!

The 5,000 new army beheaded the little prince's elite cavalry of 6,000 or 7,000 and captured more than 10,000 prisoners.

Not to mention that the officials don't believe it, even the common people don't believe it, so the officials began to spray, and the most sprayed is that Zhu Shou, the guard of the Xuanfu, falsely reported his military exploits, which should be severely punished......

Of course, no one knows that Zhu Shou is Zhu Houzhao, and there is no need to even doubt it.

According to the system, the chief military officers guarding the nine sides have knighthoods, and the worst is also the earl, but after the Son of Heaven reorganized the border army, none of the chief soldiers on the seven sides have knighthoods.

Now eighty percent of the middle- and upper-level generals in the new army are the old men of the original Yongwangwei, could it be that the surname Zhu is Zhu Houzhao?

However, the reality still slapped everyone in the face after all!

The Son of Heaven ordered Xuanfu to send troops to escort the captives into Beijing, and soon after, Wang Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, sent people to the north to verify, which immediately caused an uproar in the Manchu Dynasty!

The literati do look down on the generals, but the border soldiers are indeed guarding the border and preventing the existence of the iron hooves of the alien race.

The border pass won the battle, and it was an unimaginable victory, the whole court should be happy or happy, as for whether they should continue to step on the martial arts, of course, they still have to step on it.

And if the martial artist has this feat, he has to step on it a little harder, so as not to raise the power of the martial artist!
