Chapter 12 How Many Talents in the Ming Dynasty
Chapter 12 �
The lights are brightly lit on the school ground.
More than a hundred horses were riding around the outside.
A large number of people were sitting in the middle of the school grounds, looking like they were bruised and swollen.
Zhou Mengchen looked at the sky. A star in the east shone brightly. This is nothing else. It is Qiming Star. It means it is about to dawn.
There is not much time left for Zhou Mengchen.
The city was about to leave the city as soon as it dawn. At this time, there was no simple framework set up. I am afraid it would not be useful. The most important thing for Zhou Mengchen was to arrange a simple military organization before dawn.
Logically speaking, the main general of this action has just confirmed Li Ziwen.
Don’t think that Li Ziwen is just the prince of Fengcheng Hou, but if you really want to say it, he still has an official position as a commander. After all, nobles and nobles all have official positions in their birth. Even if they are not considered basic operations, they are considered regular operations.
However, let Li Ziwen deal with such a complicated situation. Not only Zhou Mengchen was worried, but Li Ziwen himself was worried.
Zhou Mengchen asked Yang Jisheng and said, "Brother Yang, what do you think you should do?"
Previously, Zhou Mengchen and Yang Jisheng's troops were divided into two groups. Zhou Mengchen went to find a car and someone. Yang Jisheng summoned these people here.
Yang Jisheng said: "I understand. These martial artists must do it in the way of martial artists."
Zhou Mengchen was a little confused and said, "What do you mean?"
Yang Jisheng said: "Don't they want to fight? Let them fight enough, whoever is the winner will become an official. The Ministry of War will recognize their official positions."
Zhou Mengchen frowned and said, "Six hundred people, only six thousand households, I guess the people below are not rare."
Indeed, military officials are not worth more than civil officials, and hundreds of households are not high-ranking officials. In addition, the families here are rich. If a small official is not in their eyes, it is probably not their eyes.
Yang Jisheng shook his head and said, "Where are hundreds of households, but thousands of households, divided into two or three thousand households to them."
Zhou Mengchen said, "There are only six hundred people, so three thousand households are divided into three thousand households?"
"There are quite a lot." Li Ziwen said: "In many places, there are only so many people who dare to fight among a thousand households. And aren't there still their servants? If they are incorporated into each of the thousand households, there will be more people. The officers below don't use any strategy. As long as they can fight, it's enough."
"If they can be defeated by everyone else, they will be considered a powerful general."
Zhou Mengchen thought for a moment, then made a quick decision and said, "Just do it like this."
Zhou Mengchen turned over and stood on a carriage full of gunpowder and said loudly: "You come to the capital, either seeking fame or seeking to attack the position, and today you will fully satisfy you. Anyway, those who want to attack the position will all approve after this operation. As for those who seek fame, even if they are not admitted to the Martial Arts, the Ministry of War will be qualified to hold the same Martial Arts. As for those who have been seeking officials in the capital for a long time, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"That is, you are divided into three thousand households. I don't care how you choose. As long as you don't have a life, as long as you can make the people below convince you, you will have a seat in these three thousand households. At that time, the Ministry of War will recognize you, and if you perform well in Yongning Pass, there will be rewards."
“Start now.”
While talking, Zhou Mengchen greeted the people next to him.
The sound of the drum sounds "dongdong" is remembered.
Soon everyone gathered in a group and slowly divided into three groups.
Zhou Mengchen looked at it, but his style was very different.
There is a man in his forties who seems to be very prestigious. Standing in the middle of a circle, one after another, people come to fight him, all of whom are bare-handed. It looks more like a fall. The person who falls down is in a loss. It looks like a teacher's teaching to students.
In another circle, there is a man in his thirties. His face and beard are not trimmed at all, almost covering his eyes and mouth. In the darkness, it is better to be like a ghost than to be like a human.
He stood alone on one side and walked all the way. He was accurate and ruthless when he beat people. A cold and cold aura made Zhou Mengchen stunned. He immediately knew that this person probably had killed many people, and he would fight with anyone. The injured person would not be able to get up for a while if he just fell to the ground.
As for the other circle, there was a melee. The most powerful one was that the two of them cooperated back to back, and they made the other people have no temper.
Yang Jisheng pointed these people to Zhou Mengchen and said, "The first one is called Wang Xiao, who is an old martial arts scholar. He has always been the first in the list of generals. He also served as a general and led more than a thousand people to smear and attack the Tartars, and won a great victory. It's a pity that he had been struggling for the rest of his life not long after."
Zhou Mengchen didn't say anything, but he knew why?
Nothing else, all the military generals of the Ming Dynasty were hereditary. However, the generals and officials from the Wu Ju were not hereditary. This is the biggest difference. Most of the generals and officials on the border were hereditary. For example, Zhou Shangwen, whose family has been in the army since its founding of the country. It cannot be denied that Zhou Shangwen is very capable of fighting. However, he is very capable of fighting and cannot cover up the overall depravity of the hereditary military officers. This is one of the reasons why the martial arts was formalized during the Zhengde period.
This is also the reason why the channels for military officials have been not smooth. There are so many official positions, and one person who comes from the military officials is missing. Moreover, in the eyes of many hereditary officers, these official positions are theirs.
Zhou Mengchen said: "Who is this person? He is so ungrateful."
Yang Jisheng said: "He was taken out of the prison. Actually, I wanted to take this opportunity to take out some generals and officials from the northwest from the prison and make them commit crimes and meritorious service. However, the Ministry of Justice said that those people were all imperial cases, and even the orders of the Minister of War, there was no way. However, he was different. He was Zhu Wan's subordinate and attacked the main general of Shuangyu Island. As a result, after Zhu Wan committed suicide, Yan Song overturned the case and said that the capture of Shuangyu was arbitrarily killing the merchants. He not only did not attack, but had it. He was locked up in the Ministry of Justice."
"However, Zhu Wan is not the Qin case at all, and the order of the Minister of War is still of some use."
Zhou Mengchen sighed in his heart after hearing this.
The defeat of the reconnaissance imprinted deep traces on Yang Jisheng's heart. He had deep nostalgia for Zeng Xian, Xia Yan, and Yang Jisheng. Zhou Mengchen even felt that Yang Jisheng probably beautified the two in his heart. After all, Zhou Mengchen had a deep contact with the two, but Yang Jisheng did not.
He just felt that the two wanted to relieve the border troubles once and for all for the court. It was the inappropriate ending. Unintentionally, they put the template of loyal ministers and good generals on both of them, ignoring a lot of their things.
Zhou Mengchen did not deny some of the two's highlights. But he also had to see some of the shortcomings of Zeng Xian and Xia Yan, such as Zeng Xian's reputation was too strong and a bit gambling. Xia Yan was domineering and cruel.
It was precisely Yang Jisheng's inner impression of the two that he wanted to rescue Zeng Xian and others all the time. The reason why these people were in prison was because Yan Song wanted them to die. It was just that the charges were not easy to find. After all, many of the charges of Zeng Xian and Xia Yan were falsely accused.
Not to mention the generals under Zeng Xian.
But Yan Song was helpless and it was difficult to find his loopholes.
However, the generals in the south are different. First, Zhu Wan's influence is far inferior to Zeng Xian. Second, in the minds of the Ming Dynasty, only the generals can be defeated. What is the generals in the south?
Zhou Mengchen asked, "What is his name?"
Yang Jisheng said: "Lu Tong."
Zhou Mengchen thought about it, but didn't remember it. So he didn't ask. After all, there are so many talents in the world. It doesn't matter if he hasn't heard of it. Although the scale of the Battle of Shuangyu cannot be considered large, there are thousands of people in the Ming army who go to fight. As the main general, Lu Tong, thinks that he has a certain ability.
Zhou Mengchen hangs this name in his heart, and sees the last round of melee people and says, "Do you know these two?"
Yang Jisheng shook his head and said, "I don't know. He looks like a sect who wants to succeed him. He is very young and should look in his early twenties. He is one or two years younger than you. How come another person looks like a woman?"
Zhou Mengchen said: "Come on the roster and see who it is?"
"Yes." A minor official immediately opened the list of flowers, searched for it, and said, "I found it. He was the commander of the Dengzhou Guard of Shandong. His ancestor Qi Xuan, his father Qi Jingtong, died in the 23rd year of Jiajing, and he was mourning for three years. He came to take the vocational examination this year. As for who is the other person? I haven't found it, it seems that he is not on the list."
