After these years of development, the change of the Great Dynasty will not only change from one year to two years, but also its impact is not only to allow the courtiers to come to Beijing, but in all aspects.

For example, the Great Dynasty will be held once every two years, and the imperial examination will be held once every three years, so the Ming literati began to gradually divide each year into large, medium and small differences, if there are any, then it is a big year, if there is none, then it is a small year, for example, the tenth year of Zhengde is a proper small year.

The size is related to the officials sent by the imperial court.

After the Great Dynasty Meeting, the Son of Heaven would often adjust some people according to the performance of the officials in Beijing that year, and some were even more astonishing adjustments, and it was the promotion that inspired officials from all over the country to never forget the Great Dynasty Meeting.

And after the imperial examination, officials will also be awarded, so the so-called big year means that the big officials and small officials have changed greatly, and people have more expectations in their hearts.

Xiao Nian, there is no need to talk about it.

This is the influence of the Great Pilgrimage.

In addition, the agenda of the Great Imperial Council was also reduced from seven to five, and it was rumored that the Son of Heaven believed that the main focus of the imperial court should be focused on more critical matters, rather than discussing everything.

In addition, some topics began to settle down and evolved to be brought up and discussed every two years. The most typical is the people's livelihood and armaments, they always can't escape, the Son of Heaven summoned the local civil officials, the things he asked were not separated from the suffering of the people, and the military generals of the border army were summoned, and the things mentioned did not leave the combat power of the guards.

Not only that, but the ten years also made the factory guard deeply 'integrated' into the court.

Before and after the Great Dynasty Meeting, it will be their busiest time, and the Son of Heaven asks about things, all over the world, so they should try to know as much as possible about the things that the Son of Heaven asks most often, and more importantly, after the Great Dynasty Meeting.

In order to avoid the officials of His Majesty from bragging indiscriminately and falsely reporting their achievements, the factory guards will always verify the content reported by the officials, so the official adjustments after the court meeting are always in waves.

Maybe four will come out this time, and five will come out next time, because it takes time to verify, and the imperial court will put several people together according to the verification situation, and once it is confirmed to be true, then it will be sent out together according to the will.

In general, the Ming court has built a more and more perfect set of logic around the imperial meeting, and it is still being perfected.

The people in the middle of it probably didn't understand that it was also through this kind of action that the emperor not only completed the control of the Beijing officials, but also completed the more stable control of the local officials.

Figuratively speaking, it is called a game of chess in the world, because the promotion of major officials is in the hands of the Son of Heaven alone.

Fundamentally, the Great Imperial Council and its related systems have become an important tool for strengthening imperial power.

Otherwise, why did Zhu Houzhao forcibly push the world's Qingtian order, and why did he set rules for the world's toast?

At this point in time in the eleventh year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, any important or key local official did not dare to show the slightest disrespect when he walked in front of Zhu Houzhao.

There is also a special one this year,

The cabinet has been reduced from four to three, will the emperor send anyone to the cabinet again? According to the consistent practice of the Son of Heaven, it is not simply about seniority.

After Mao Ji, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was deposed and returned to his hometown, this position was actually vacant.

It all depends on how the Son of Heaven opens his mouth.

At this time, the Son of Heaven was inspecting the Shenji Camp accompanied by Chengguo Gong, Jingyu Hou and Pinghaibo.

According to the decree, the firearms of the Shenji Battalion must be reloaded.

“…… The Ordnance Bureau is now sending more manpower to equip the sailors with this artillery that can fight 900 zhang, and to replace the old artillery of the Shenji Battalion. The Shenji Battalion established by Emperor Taizong was invincible in the desert, how could I forget such treasures? Judging from some bits and pieces of information in Nanyang, the cannons of foreigners are not worse than ours, or even better than us, which should be paid attention to. It shows that those countries are also desperately trying to improve artillery. ”

Zhou Shangwen has a personal experience, "The reason why this attack on the Turpan Khanate is so smooth is that artillery also accounts for half of the credit, and when the cannonballs fly, the whole city is in chaos, which is an absolute weapon." Unfortunately, it was too heavy to be used in the southwestern mountains and when the cavalry was chasing. ”

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, "You can defend even if you don't need to attack, and dozens of statues will be placed in the newly built cities in Xinjiang." And artillery is one thing, and there are also firecrackers, which are easy to carry. ”

The problem of firearms in this era is very big, one is that it can't be used in the rain, and the other is very troublesome to reload, basically only enough to shoot one round on the battlefield, and when you load it up, you can shoot again, and the enemy has already rushed in front of you. Not to mention other shortcomings such as exploding chambers.

But the fire gun is still important, and Zhu Houzhao also attaches great importance to it.

He said to the Marquis of Jinglu and Pinghaibo: "Those who go to sea should bring firearms, which I said a few years ago, and I will not mention it much. Marquis Jingyu, you go back to Beijing this time, rest and rest, I don't plan to let you stay idle for too long. ”

Zhou Shangwen said nothing, "The minister naturally obeys His Majesty's dispatch and will never give up." ”

The emperor stared at his eyes, "Last year, I ordered Wu Wending to go on an expedition to Japan, because across the sea, the time for them to arrive in Daming is fixed, which is about March and April every year, and none of our monarchs and ministers know what it looks like there." ”

"Not bad."

"So after the Great Dynasty Meeting, you will lead a group of men and horses to enter Jiangnan in the name of preventing Japanese invaders, and you will bring elite first-class guards, including this Weishen Machine Battalion, and the size of the army is about 30,000 people. There are fewer cavalry, the water network in the south of the Yangtze River is dense, mainly foot soldiers, and after arriving there, they usually train normally, mainly in case of accidents. ”

Zhou Shangwen was slightly puzzled, "Your Majesty is thoughtful, this is a wise move, but to guard against the Japanese invaders...... Even if Japan has a sailor as big as my Ming Dynasty, even if they pour out of the nest, there will be no more than 10,000 horses at most, this is ...... Don't use an elephant to crack a nut? ”

Zhu Houzhao's eyes narrowed, "These 30,000 horses, about six guards, you are stationed in different cities, Yangzhou, Nanjing, Suzhou, and Hangzhou must have your men." How much is 30,000 for such a point? But the Woko can attack from any place. ”

The same seems to be the case......

Zhou Shangwen was barely convinced, in fact, it didn't matter if he was not convinced, anyway, he acted according to the order, "The minister understands." On the day of His Majesty's decree, the minister immediately set out with his army. ”

In fact, Zhu Houzhao has another layer of consideration.

"In the early years, I heard that some of the Japanese were really pretending to be the people who could not survive in my Ming Dynasty, so I don't mention it. What I want to say is that in addition to the garrison in various places, you must also defend the interior, and the military camp is important...... You should know better than I do. And don't think I'm alarmist, the imperial court, but I have issued a world order to clear the field. ”

Cheng Guogong, Ping Haibo and Jingyu Hou finally understood when they heard it, this is to prevent the Japanese in the open and control the place in secret.

Zhu Hou took care of them a little seriously, but instead told jokes, "Just in case." It's not easy for you to earn this military merit, so you have to give them a chance. ”

They?

I don't know who it is.
