My Daming New Empire

But having said that, since everyone has begged on his head, Zhu Di is just making love now.So if he didn't fight for some benefits for himself, and didn't kill everyone, it wouldn't be in his fundamental interest.

The greater the cost, the more these generals will pay more attention to these people. If these generals don't pay any price at all, if they want people to go there today, I'm afraid they will forget them later.

If you want the seeds to germinate, you need all the generals to create a better environment for all of them.

(I stayed in the hospital for seven days, and I didn’t save the manuscript. But my mother has been discharged from the hospital, and I will start writing today. I will update the next chapter and write it as soon as possible.)

Chapter 60 Back to Peking

It's not that Zhu Zhanji has never considered forming a military academy, but he is just a grandson, not an emperor. This kind of institutional reform is definitely not something he can play now.

And if he can't grasp the control of this military academy, this kind of institutional change may not bring good results, and it is more likely to become a four-faced one.

So there is no rush for this matter, and there is no rush for all changes in the system.

In terms of insight, these Ming elites may be weaker than Zhu Zhanji.But in terms of wisdom, Zhu Zhanji, who is used to straight-forward, happy-go-lucky grievances, may not be as good as one of them.

From the formation of a unified culture during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the formation of a unified writing in the Qin Dynasty, and the great integration of the East, under the trend of thousands of years of history, a unique style of the mean has been formed.

This is not Confucianism, it's just that Confucianism later practiced borrowing doctrine and made it its own.

Including until later generations, this style has never changed.

For example, you run into an old friend on the street and say you want to treat him to dinner.If the other party is a foreigner, then he will always have two choices, either to eat or not to eat.

But if you are a Chinese, you will often have another answer.For example, I am sorry, for example, I have eaten it, but I will not directly answer whether I will eat it or not. Instead, I will let you guess or continue to test.

This is the simplest equal relationship. For example, if the leader says no more, is it true or false?

Is boasting that the food cooked by my wife is really delicious or fake?Is it really beautiful or fake when you praise your wife for being beautiful?

These are actually the university questions in the oriental culture!

This leaves a certain amount of leeway and complicates simple issues, which is a characteristic of oriental culture.If you can't get used to this style, to use a trendy word, it means that your emotional intelligence is not enough.

If you don't have enough emotional intelligence, you will run into walls everywhere, and you will get twice the result with half the effort.

But on the other hand, in order to leave some leeway, the subordinates often do not directly fix things when they do things, leaving some leeway.

If you are a leader with insufficient emotional intelligence, you will find that everything seems to be done in place, but you can't achieve the desired goal, and the result even runs counter to it.

Therefore, when Zhu Zhanji has no power and cannot directly give clear orders, the reform of the system must not be carried out lightly.

The first is that the change may not necessarily achieve the goal, and the second is that the change also increases the difficulty for him to take over power in the future.

Drawing on a piece of paper that has already been drawn on is never as easy as painting on a blank sheet of paper.

But now that he is protected by the big tree Zhu Di, he is far more at ease than when he was the emperor, and he is not ready to take over the power, so the plan of the military academy can only be put on hold for now.

It's not late Ming, these things are not in a hurry, he still has enough time to plan.

Being entangled by a group of arrogant soldiers for half a night, Zhu Zhanji was dizzy by them, and he also wanted to sow these seeds.

In the evening, finally came up with the final decision.

The young army had a total of 203 people. Six people were lost in this military operation, and three instructors were removed. There were still 194 people who were all let out by Zhu Zhanji. They were assigned to 97 military guards in groups of two.

Except for the military guards in the south who did not participate in the Northern Expedition this time, the soldiers of these young armies are almost all over the northern part of the Ming Dynasty, ensuring that every important military guard has two people.

Their military status was also re-filed by the Ministry of War, and even the worst ones were awarded general military ranks.

This is equivalent to the company-level cadres of later generations, who can be directly promoted from a small soldier to company-level cadres, and even a few were promoted to deputy regiment-level cadres. This is the so-called one-step ascension.

However, Zhu Zhanji also left an introduction.That is to ask these people to return to the juvenile barracks to re-study every two years, and he must ensure that these people will not be eliminated by the times.

Another condition of Zhu Zhanji is that everyone must serve as an instructor in the military guard, otherwise he will not be transferred.

There are less than two hundred of them, even if each of them has three heads and six arms, they are just a drop of water in the ocean to Da Ming.

Wanting them to play a greater role is not to let them make meritorious service on the battlefield, but to spread the knowledge they have learned in three years.

On the seventh day of August, after the army arrived in Zhangbei, they assembled for the last time.After this period of statistics, the military exploits of each army guard have also been counted, and now it is time to reward meritorious service.

This time, the first person to do his part is the Governor of Shenji Battalion, Deputy General Zhenglu, Anyuan Hou Liusheng.

The second was Zheng Heng, the governor of the Chinese army who was shot by an arrow, but they all stayed in the grassland and did not come back with the army.

So this time the meritorious deeds and rewards are not so lively, but the mood of the soldiers is still very excited.Because Zhu Di took out the silver from the internal treasury, in addition to their salaries, everyone also gave out silver, and it was cash without discount.

During the nine-month expedition this time, the minimum salary of each soldier was more than 15 taels of silver.But these salaries generally only get [-]% to [-]% of the salary, because the soldiers in the guards do not have to pay taxes, and there are various kinds of in-kind distributions, which are worth more than half of the salary.

Moreover, those salaries were issued by the Ministry of War. It is impossible for the emperor Zhu Di to directly take care of these matters. What he is now issuing is his bonus as an emperor.

According to the different levels, each soldier has a minimum of two taels of cash.Min Zhuang has a minimum of one tael, and then distributes food on the way home, exempts from tax burden for one year, and does not have to serve in the next three years.

This is also a characteristic of this era, and the burden on farmers is astonishingly heavy.In addition to household tax, household tax, and land tax, there are also various labor services, which add up to five major items of tax, tax, salary, corvee, and miscellaneous items, and dozens of small items of taxation.

Although most of the tax burden is not collected, but deducted with various materials and labor, but the life of farmers is certain.

Like this time, the labor of the people is compulsory. They serve in the army, and they can also have rations provided by the imperial court.If you serve in the local area, not only will you not be paid, but you will also need to prepare your own food.

Tens of 10 people bowed down in front of Zhu Di one by one, which is an indispensable procedure.Since Zhu Di spent the money, he must let everyone know who gave them the reward.

As a result, it took two full days to thank everyone one by one, and then they all disbanded.

This war is now considered to be completely over.

Starting from Zhangbei again on the tenth day of the eighth lunar month, this time everyone was a little bit eager to return home.

Even Zhu Di wanted to be in Beijing for the Mid-Autumn Festival before August [-]th.

By the time we arrived in the capital, it was already the afternoon of August [-]th.When he dismounted, Zhu Zhanji realized that the skin on his inner thigh was worn out.

After such a long expedition, his legs were not worn out. On the contrary, when he returned to Peiping, his legs were worn out, which also made Zhu Zhanji dumbfounded.

The four little girls who stayed in Beiping couldn't help but burst into tears when they saw Zhu Zhanji.

They all entered the palace at the age of twelve or thirteen, and then served Zhu Zhanji. It can be said that everything they live is Zhu Zhanji.

In the past three or four years, apart from serving Zhu Zhanji, they have no other meaning of life.

Zhu Zhanji left for half a year, and they also stayed in the courtyard of Peking for half a year. They lost the focus of life and lost their souls.

Now that I see Zhu Zhanji, I am naturally very excited.

When taking Zhu Zhanji's bath at night, the four of them did their best. Besides the closeness in the past, they added a bit of temptation.

I haven't seen each other for half a year, and the four little girls who look like bean sprouts have also grown better.They were chosen by Zhu Zhanji to take bath and warm the bed, naturally because they are beautiful.
