The veteran transfer system advocated by Zhu Ying has recently set off a craze in the court.
With the continuous improvement of the regulations, the civil servants have also begun to grow.
Private discussions are even more common.
The representative among them is Liu Sanwu.
"What does this mean? Let those soldiers retire and directly become the heads of the Yamen's policemen. This is to use military generals to suppress civil servants."
"From now on, what's the point of us being scholars? Studying is not as good as being a soldier. It's ridiculous, extremely ridiculous!"
In the Hanlin Academy, Liu Sanwu was furious.
He would definitely not dare to say it in the morning, but this did not prevent him from losing his temper in the Hanlin Academy.
Liu Sanwu is famous and old.
Although he is only a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, he feels like an uncrowned king.
In the circle of literati, qualifications are even more important.
After all, as far as the Hanlin Academy is concerned, most of the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy have to perform discipleship rituals when facing Liu Sanwu.
"Sir, please stop saying a few words. These are the regulations set by His Majesty. You see Master Ru Yuru, the Minister of War, you have no choice but to act according to your orders."
"Besides, His Majesty didn't even let us discuss it this time. He just decided it."
Some other Hanlin Academy scholars advised.
The retirement of veterans, to put it simply, seems to improve the treatment of soldiers, but on the other hand, it also lowers the status of scholars.
Many scholars, if they want to achieve success, they naturally become officials.
This is currently the fastest way out for many students, and it is also the only choice to change themselves.
No matter who he is, he only needs to pass the boy test and gain the title of scholar, and he will be transformed into a privileged person.
But now there is another way out.
Be a soldier.
Being a soldier can also be an official.
Some people may wonder, if you win battles as a soldier and become a general, isn't that the same as being an official?
I know very well that one general can achieve the goal of destroying thousands of bones.
Especially after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, most of the former heroes were hereditary.
For ordinary people, it is already an existence that is out of reach.
If you become a soldier again, you will just be a big-headed soldier.
During the Ming Dynasty's farming system, military households were also soldiers.
But the release of the retirement regulations means that being a soldier is guaranteed.
This is equivalent to decentralizing a separate department from the hands of the county magistrate.
Don't underestimate the position of police officer, patrol officer.
Previously, people were directly appointed by the county magistrate, and whoever was appointed would be appointed. The salary was not low, and they also had power. For ordinary people, that was an official, although it was actually a servant.
Looking at the whole Ming Dynasty, there are basically no poor spies.
At least you don't have to worry about eating. Even in the capital, the patrolmen of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division can just grab the usual breakfast from the stalls.
As for whether to give money or not, it all depends on your mood.
In other words, if they really wanted to give it to them, the vendors wouldn’t dare to ask for it.
There are also benefits from gangs and a series of other benefits.
Not to mention rich and powerful, but definitely comfortable with food and clothing.
This is also why Liu Sanwu loses his temper.
"No, I must report to His Majesty. This must not be done. This will destroy the foundation of scholars. Over time, there will be many students studying hard."
"Studying is not as good as being a soldier. What will the Ming Dynasty be like in the future?"
"I'm old and old, and I can't live for more than a few years. If I can save my life in this matter and let His Majesty know about it, it will be worth it."
As Liu Sanwu talked, his tone became excited.
A former student of Liu Sanwu was standing nearby, and he bowed deeply and said, "Sir, if you do this, I would not dare to follow you. If you, sir, submit a memorial to Your Majesty, please add my name in the memorial."
After the bachelor finished speaking, everyone around him was moved.
Someone took the lead, and immediately the second bachelor also stood up, followed by the third and fourth.
Soon, the voices in the Hanlin Academy became louder and louder.
"Okay! Okay! Okay! I am not alone in my path!"
"But for this matter, it is enough for the old man to report it alone. Such an alliance may easily make His Majesty feel that he is trying to force the palace. On the contrary, it will spoil the matter."
Seeing everyone's support, Liu Sanwu was delighted. However, Liu Sanwu, who had been ups and downs in the officialdom, finally understood His Majesty's temperament.
If everyone really names them, this Hanlin Academy may even have to change the grass.
Your Majesty's kind of people are not going to give in if the literati stick together, they will only get angry and lead to tragedy.
Just when Liu Sanwu was about to act, a white-faced bachelor came forward and said, "Sir, I heard that this matter was first raised by His Highness Changsun."
Having said this, the white-faced bachelor immediately silenced himself.
However, the originally lively atmosphere among Liu Sanwu and other bachelors suddenly became quiet.
The matter of His Highness Changsun is already an open secret in the Ming Dynasty, especially among the upper circles of the capital.
Since it is a secret, it is also a royal secret.
Even if everyone knows it, they don't dare to mention it in public. They only dare to make friends and discuss it privately.
His Majesty hasn't said anything yet. Everyone knows that this matter involves royal inheritance, and no one wants to touch it too much.
"Are you sure? This news comes from this. Don't just talk nonsense."
Liu Sanwu waved his hand, called the white-faced bachelor to his side, and asked in a low voice.
"It's absolutely true. Sir, I don't know. Some time ago, Li Weiliang and Li Hanlin and I were ordered to be brought by eunuchs to Kunning Palace to meet with His Highness Changsun to explain the classics of the Song Dynasty."
"Li Hanlin was appreciated by His Highness and soared to the sky. Now he is the companion of His Highness Changsun. He can enter and exit Kunning Palace freely. His Majesty has not announced this matter yet, but I think it will come soon."
Having said this, the white-faced bachelor's eyes flashed with envy, jealousy, and some resentment.
Obviously the two of them went together, but Li Weiliang was appreciated, but he didn't get any benefits, and he felt a little unwilling.
After a slight pause, the white-faced bachelor continued: "Sir, I have a close relationship with Li Weiliang, a classmate and friend, and I learned that he is also participating in the veterans' retirement charter."
"So in my opinion, this matter has a deep connection with His Highness Changsun. After all, this matter has never happened before in the previous dynasties, and it is a precedent in history."
After hearing this, Liu Sanwu began to think in his eyes.
It’s not that Liu Sanwu is afraid of His Highness Changsun but not His Majesty.
It's because some things have completely different meanings once they involve the prince.
His simple performance will be regarded by His Majesty as having other thoughts.
And if a new king comes to power in the future, it may be a new national policy. It is difficult to violate such political trends, and usually there will be a bloody price. Gu Hao
Liu Sanwu nodded and said: "Since Li Hanlin has become His Highness Changsun's companion, there are some things that he must know clearly in his heart."
"This matter concerns scholars all over the world. Where is Li Hanlin now? I want to have a chat with him and see what he thinks."
When the white-faced bachelor heard this, he felt very unhappy. It was obvious that Mr. Sanwu had already taken Li Weiliang seriously.
He could only reply helplessly: "At this time, Li Hanlin should be in Kunning Palace."
Liu Sanwu nodded lightly and said: "Tell me when he comes back, and I will go and visit him."
Now, I no longer mention the matter that I wanted to advise His Majesty just now.
When the white-faced bachelor heard that even Mr. Sango had become so polite, the resentment in his eyes deepened.
For civil servants or scholars, veterans’ retirement protection is bad news.
But this is completely different for generals or veterans.
Especially in the major military camps, many soldiers became extremely excited. When they received the news, many people kowtowed in the direction of the palace to express their thanks.
In the Beijing camp, a veteran said very happily: "Your Majesty is really a wise man. In this way, we don't have to worry about our future. If we go back to the local area and work in the Public Security Bureau, it can be regarded as an official." "
Someone knowledgeable said: "This is not an official, but a yamen servant. I haven't heard of him being given a higher rank directly."
"You know what you are doing," the veteran argued.
"What about the yamen servants? The Public Security Bureau must have given the official rank, but even if you are a yamen servant, it is very good. It is better than digging in the dirt. Walking out on the street is also extremely prestigious."
After hearing the veteran's words, many soldiers nodded.
If you return from the army and become a government servant, it will be a huge surprise for all ordinary soldiers.
Most of them grew up in rural villages and counties, and they all understand that a government official has great prestige in the county.
The status is also very different.
The most important thing is that there is a way out as a soldier.
"If I can enter the Public Security Bureau, I will teach my sons to be soldiers in the future. As long as they make meritorious deeds, they can find a way out."
Veteran Lingyi said.
A bystander said: "Silly, you are already working as a government servant. If your family has money, you can afford to go to school. Why not let them go to school."
"Our family is not meant to study, but if there is anyone who can study, he will study. If he cannot study, he will become a soldier."
The veteran replied with a smile.
At this time, a general came over and everyone immediately became silent.
"What are you talking about? It's such a joy to talk about." The general asked with a smile.
A group of soldiers looked at each other, and the bold one replied: "General, we are talking about the retirement of veterans in the court. This matter has been spread mysteriously, so the general told us."
"Is this true or false? It would be a pity if the brothers' joy would be in vain."
The general smiled and said: "Of course it is true. Your Majesty decided this matter directly in order to leave a way out for our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty."
"When the time comes to go to the battlefield, there will be no need to worry about the future. If you gain merit, you will be able to honor your ancestors."
"I came here this time to coordinate the efforts of the brothers."
"Everyone, don't be too happy too early. This matter involves a wide range of things and can be finalized in a few days. The adults in the court and many generals are all thinking about this charter."
"Brothers have to hand in all their merits, and they will be distributed by the adults in the Ministry of War when the time comes."
"What is set now is the age and conditions for retirement. It does not mean that you can retire after just a few years of service."
"You have to have enough credit."
After hearing the general's words, everyone became even more excited.
The generals have spoken. This is equivalent to an official announcement, which means that there will be no change in this matter.
Although only veterans can enjoy these, veterans also come from recruits.
The new recruits have hope.
"It's a pity. When I went to the battlefield in the early years, I was too timid, otherwise I would have been able to enter the security category. You young bastards, don't be like me."
"I regret it now."
Some veterans sighed and said.
This is a common phenomenon in the military. Short-term training cannot make them courageous. Only after experiencing the baptism of many wars will changes occur.
When some recruits heard this, they secretly vowed to go to the battlefield if they had the chance in the future.
You must rush to the front and make a bright future.
This scene in the Beijing camp is just a microcosm of many military camps in the Ming Dynasty.
Unlike becoming a military attache, in the eyes of many soldiers, this is a career within their reach.
Many older veterans began to feel excited when their names and achievements were recorded and reported to the general.
There has never been any dynasty or time when soldiers were as eager for war as they are now.
Daming Palace, Qianqing Palace.
"The military spirit can be used, the military spirit can be used!"
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed after listening to Jiang Yu's report on the current soldiers.
"Grandpa, I think we can now make preparations for the soldiers going to Annan."
Zhu Ying sat next to him and said with a smile.
It would be a pity not to use such a good phenomenon.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "This time, just like what Da Sun said, let's pass on this idea and see which soldiers want to go, and then choose the right one from them."
"In Annan, many of our Ming soldiers are not accustomed to the local environment, so we should be careful not to suffer too much damage."
Zhu Ying replied: "Grandpa, don't worry. This time our soldiers from the Ming Dynasty went there to protect the Annan royal family and to reorganize the Annan mountains and rivers. They are the teachers of justice."
"The people of Annan should be extremely cheering."
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "My grandson said it well, but you just said that Princess Anxiu should follow you. This is your future concubine, but are you willing to do so?"
Zhu Ying laughed and said: "Grandpa, for my Ming Dynasty plan, there is no question whether to give up or not. My grandson thinks that Princess Anxiu is a thoughtful person, and in name, she is already a member of my Ming Dynasty."
"Whether they like it or not, the people in Annan must have opinions about it. If she goes back, Annan's affairs will be muddied, and it will be easier to implement in many aspects."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, he was very relieved about Da Sun's plan.
Korea is the best example.
Now it is almost considered to belong to the Ming Dynasty, it just lacks a name.
It's a pity that Li Chenggui made a wedding dress for his eldest grandson after some planning.
"Grandpa, as for the scholars sent to Annan, I can only arrange it with my grandpa. However, my grandson feels that it does not have to be an older one. Even if he has the quality of a teacher, it should be fine."
"After all this time, the main focus in the early stage, from Sun'er's point of view, was the way of enlightenment."
"My Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes can be directly transferred to Annan. The Annan royal family should not have the possibility of rejecting it."
