Zhu Ying had to admit that he underestimated the enthusiasm of the soldiers after all.
On only the seventh day after the order was issued in the army, the capital and surrounding areas had already received 100,000 registrations.
This is still the list that has been sent to the palace, and there are actually more people signing up.
The key point is that Zhu Ying's edict was aimed at all sergeants in the entire Ming Dynasty.
The news hasn't spread yet.
How many soldiers does the Ming Dynasty have now?
Under the policy of upgrading and replacing veterans, more recruits were still recruited.
Except for going to Japan and Annan.
Currently, there are still 1.7 million soldiers enrolled in the Ming Dynasty.
Among them, those who meet the two mandatory conditions of not being an only child and being under 300,000 years old are at least 500,000.
The most important thing is that most of the 50,000 people recruited this time are auxiliary soldiers.
The difference between Zhu Ying and ordinary soldiers is...
Zhu Ying knew very well how much danger he would encounter along the way. If 50,000 people went on an expedition, only a few thousand might be able to return, or even the entire army would be wiped out, with a very high mortality rate.
But for soldiers and even officers, there are so many ideas.
After ten years of marching and having everything, a fool would not go.
This is a shining reward.
Even the lowest-ranking soldier can receive a total of nearly 2,000 guan of treasure money, and he can cross the hierarchy and become an officer when he returns. This is like pie in the sky.
If you haven’t signed up yet, you’ll have to wait and see when.
And for those who are originally military officers, the temptation is definitely enough to get promoted to three levels in a row. Is this something that can be achieved after ten years of service in the Ming Dynasty?
The performance appraisal system has begun to be widely implemented not only in civilian officials, but also in the military.
When military merit is insufficient, promotion is almost a huge problem. Now it is even more difficult for Ming Dynasty to obtain military merit. Even if there is a war, there is no guarantee that he will be able to get it.
What else are you thinking about? Just sign up.
Because of this incident, Rujun, Minister of the Ministry of War, could only go to Kunning Palace to complain to Zhu Ying.
"Your Highness, there are too many people signing up now. There are still many people here who have entrusted connections to come to me and want to join the expeditionary force. This matter has only been happening for a few days. If it spreads throughout the country,
I’m afraid that screening will be a big problem.”
Zhu Ying was a little speechless.
I didn't expect such a situation to occur.
After thinking for a while, he said: "You are not joking. Now that you have issued an order, of course it is impossible to say that registration will end now."
"That's not bad. Let's collect the roster first."
Rujun could only smile bitterly and bow before saying, "I obey the order."
At this time, Zhu Ying suddenly realized that her talents were not enough.
In the past two days, he has been letting Ye Yueqing accompany him to draw pictures.
The drawing is naturally a world map of some regions, especially the area from northeastern Asia to the American continent.
Zhu Ying's painting skills were worrying, so he could only let Ye Yueqing take his place.
Although the memory of the previous life refers to Mo Lake, there is still a rough world map. Ye Yueqing can only let Ye Yueqing continue to improve it and adjust the proportions to figure out a rough map.
The American continent has not been discovered yet, so naturally there is no world map.
This map is very important to Zhu Ying, or the expeditionary force, because only in this way can we ensure that the march is in the correct direction.
For the five-year exploration team, sometimes a firm goal direction is a very critical issue.
And still getting lost.
After all, this is a route without a guide, and it is also a big problem to ensure the correct direction of the route.
Draw the map as detailed as possible, and the success rate of the expeditionary force will naturally increase a lot.
Zhu Ying wanted to go to the old man to discuss matters about the expeditionary force, but he didn't expect that he would hit a wall this time.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was playing with little Wen Cheng in his arms, said earnestly: "Grandson, we know that your talents are almost unmatched by anyone, but you can't solve all the problems on your own."
"One person's wisdom has no limit. Not everything can only be made by the two of us."
"Up to now in James's house, the eldest grandson has only appointed Di Yusen."
"Then we have seen Di Yusen, and it is true that his work is pretty good, but his talent lies mainly in breaking the news. Today's James Mansion does not seem to be able to assist the Zuo Crown Prince. He is fighting for his life with the Ministry of Punishment every day."
"Dasun must understand that the real role of James's house is not to destroy the government, but to assist the left."
A sentence that wakes up the dreamer.
Zhu Ying suddenly understood his problem.
After becoming the grandson, Zhu Ying carried out his policies and implemented reforms vigorously.
The court had long been cleared out by Zhu Yuanzhang and had become the sole voice of the old Zhu family. Coupled with the control of military power, no matter what Zhu Ying did, it was almost impossible to say that he heard any opposition.
Whether it's right or wrong, whatever the order is, just do it.
The imperial power's suppression of ministerial power reached its peak in the history of the imperial power era when Zhu Ying made many reforms and the Ming Dynasty's treasury, internal funds, and high-yielding crops were harvested.
Outside the court, Meng Yuan broke the inheritance of aristocratic families. The larger the aristocratic family, the more severe the damage they suffered.
The remaining small aristocratic families after the founding of the Ming Dynasty also encountered a heavy blow from Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born as a peasant.
Zhu Ying has wisdom far beyond the current era. This wisdom is not his own, but a gift from the memory of his past life.
In fact, many of the policies in his past life memories are not very consistent with the current situation, but he has adopted them anyway.
The biggest drawback is actually the issue of whether it can be implemented.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang's personal deterrence was too strong. In addition, the Ming Dynasty was a newly created dynasty. It took more than 20 years since the founding of the country. The implementation of many systems was also based on exploration and improvement.
And most of the formulation of these systems are based on Zhu Yuanzhang's personal wishes.
This made the reforms implemented by Zhu Ying unimpeded after joining. Even if they were carried out in some remote areas, it would not affect the overall changes in the entire Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang's dominance is so terrifying, and his behavior truly tells what it means to nip all dangers in the cradle.
Zhao Kuangyin ordered a glass of wine to release his military power.
Zhu Yuanzhang simply cut the grass and roots, peeled off the skin and filled it with grass.
Not to mention threats, even potential threats will do whatever they want for you.
Except for Tang He's good death, it can be said that among the founding heroes, almost 99% died in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
In any dynasty, no emperor would dare to do this.
There is only one word here for Zhu Yuanzhang: kill.
Don't care how many people you have, don't care what merits, official positions, titles, kill!
It doesn't matter if you're not guilty, I'll just assign you a crime.
How can we go home and take care of ourselves? How can we rest assured? Sima Yi has learned from past mistakes, kill him!
Kill, kill, kill! Kill to create a bright world, kill to create a legal order, kill to create an imperial power in the world.
Even if the God of Death is in vain, he still has to bow and bow, feeling ashamed of himself.
Historically, no dynasty's reforms and reforms have encountered heavy resistance.
The same was true in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
But now, how can there be any resistance to hinder our great grandson's reform?
kill!
Don't listen to Sun's decree and sing the opposite tune?
kill!
They go up to the civil and military officials and ministers of the country, and go down to the prefecture magistrates and county officials, as well as the government officials.
Anyone who disobeys will be killed.
Under such background circumstances, the Ming Dynasty that Zhu Ying faced was naturally the easiest difficulty.
Whatever you can't handle, just leave it to the old man.
Zhu Yuanzhang is also simple, it doesn’t matter whether you are right or wrong, just kill him first.
Zhu Yuanzhang also watched Zhu Ying's reforms. As for whether it would have any impact on shaking the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang said it didn't matter. Anyone who disobeyed would be killed anyway.
If the problem cannot be solved, then the person who raised the problem will be solved, and the problem will disappear.
Zhu Ying is floating.
If it were any other person, he would have to float. I'm afraid he wouldn't just float, but would go directly to the sky.
The beauty of Zhu Ying lies in his disdain for his ministers.
It can be seen from Zhu Ying's reform actions that he basically used a template from his previous life, then discussed the details with the old man, and finally started to implement it.
As for the discussion among the ministers in the Fengtian Palace, it does not exist. You can directly announce the order and you can act in accordance with the regulations.
This also led to a problem. There was no one to help Zhu Ying.
In the early period of Zhu Yuanzhang, there were a large number of founding heroes such as Hu Weiyong, Liu Bowen and so on.
Of course, they are all killed now, and Lao Zhu in his later years does not need these people who support the left.
He actually arranged a lot of people for the next two generations, not to mention Prince Zhu Biao. The strongest lineup, even Zhu Yunwen, also includes Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru, Qi Tai and so on.
Zhu Ying didn’t.
Because he was the grandson who jumped in line, Zhu Yuanzhang had no time to make arrangements.
Before she could recover, Zhu Ying's personal charm was already invincible, and she was doing better than herself in all aspects, especially the economic aspect.
Therefore, Zhu Ying currently has no capable ministers or close ministers around him.
The ministers also want to be the great grandson's confidants.
Even if it is six books of ministers, who wouldn't want to, but they are out of reach.
Taisun has the title of banishing an immortal. In terms of wisdom, he can only obey orders.
There is no such thing as troubleshooting.
It's important for people to be self-aware. If the gap is too big, they can only obey orders.
The biggest problem here is not Zhu Ying’s wisdom, but that he stands on the shoulders of the giants of the times.
First, the difference in ideological education, and secondly, Zhu Ying never gave others a chance.
Zhu Yuanzhang held Xiao Wen Cheng in his arms and looked at the back of his eldest grandson as he left, with a bit of doting in his eyes.
Then he ordered Liu He next to him: "Leave the person we prepared to Da Sun."
Liu He bowed and said: "I obey your order."
Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace are only separated by a wall.
When Zhu Ying returned to Kunning Palace, her buttocks had not yet warmed up, when Liu He came with His Majesty's recommendation.
"The right minister of the Ministry of Rites, Huang Guan?"
This is the candidate recommended by Zhu Yuanzhang to James Mansion.
Zhu Ying didn't have a deep impression of Huang Guan, or in other words, he only had that little impression of the entire Ministry of Rites.
After all, Zhu Ying's focus has always been on the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and even the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Among the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Rites, the one I don’t care about the most is the Ministry of Rites.
The position of Minister of Rites has been vacant for three years, and the Ministry of Rites without a Minister has little impact.
The Ministry of Rites is in charge of cultural, educational, etiquette and some external affairs.
Mainly responsible for receiving foreign guests, planning ceremonies, running schools, imperial examinations, etc.
It is equivalent to the combination of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Education in later generations.
The problem was that Zhu Ying was running a school to provide five-year compulsory education. Because there was a vacancy in the Ministry of Rites, he was directly bypassing the Ministry of Rites.
The same is true for the Kaixuetang, the Ming Dynasty Military Academy, including other craftsmanship schools, medical schools, etc.
If the grandson doesn't follow the procedures, how dare the ministers of the Ministry of Etiquette dare to say too much?
Even the current Minister of Rites, Ren Hengtai, was promoted because the Minister of Rites had been vacant for too long and his qualifications were sufficient.
Therefore, Zhu Ying's memory of the Ministry of Rites was almost blank.
After all, he and the old man were the two people who cared least about etiquette.
"Your Highness, these are some household registration documents of Huang Shilang."
Zhu Yuanzhang probably guessed this situation, so he prepared Huang Guan's file in advance and showed it to his eldest son.
Zhu Ying took the household registration book and looked at it. It recorded Huang Guan's rise to peace in detail.
Just one glance made Zhu Ying shrink back.
Won six dollars in a row? What the hell?
My father is my adopted son-in-law, okay, it’s okay.
Since the Sui Dynasty officially implemented the imperial examination system, it has been implemented for 800 years.
The imperial examination is conducted level by level and is divided into county examination, government examination, college examination, township examination, general examination and palace examination.
The first place in the palace examination will naturally be the number one scholar.
Further up, he won three yuan in a row, ranking first in the provincial examination, the joint examination, and the palace examination.
Ran Huangguan pioneered the imperial examination, winning six yuan in a row.
To put it simply, starting from the county examination, you must get first place in every scientific examination.
Zhu Ying blinked, a little speechless.
I feel that in front of this person, even winning three yuan is a bit out of place.
There are three elements in the world, but there are no six poems in the world.
The only one in eight hundred years.
No, even in the next five hundred years, no one will surpass it.
The imperial examination system lasted for more than a thousand years and was abolished after the end of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
For six yuan, the total is one and a half.
The other half are Manchu Qianqian.
Why do you say half.
Compared with Huang Guan's success in one go, Qian Qi's life was bumpy.
The Qian family is a well-known scholar in the local area. Under the influence of homeschooling, Xiao Qian studied eight-legged essays since he was a child. He concentrated on his career and studied very hard. He often learned when the rooster crows at five o'clock. When he was young, he participated in the children's examination many times, but failed.
If you have failed, don't give up, roll up your sleeves and start all over again.
Then at the age of thirty-two, he gained the title of scholar and won the first prize.
Things got a little smoother later on, but by the time I reached Huiyuan, I was already on my way to turning fifty.
Most of my life was wasted in the imperial examination.
Huang Guan was completely different. He won six yuan in a row in the 24th year of Hongwu, and that year, he was only 27 years old.
Even now, in the thirty-second year of Hongwu's reign, he is still only thirty-five years old, which is the year when he should be attacked.
The difference between the two is that Huang Guan has talent and Qian Qi has hard work.
"Why are such great talents unknown so far?" Zhu Ying couldn't help but ask Liu He.
Of course, this is just unknown in Zhu Ying's eyes.
For ordinary people, even from Huang Guan's own point of view, he is absolutely doted on.
This is the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, the minister!
A high official of the third rank.
In later generations, it would be equivalent to the level of deputy minister.
When Liu He heard this, he didn't know how to answer. After a while, he replied: "Maybe your Majesty wants to temper his temperament."
Zhu Ying nodded slightly.
That's what the old man is bad at, he always likes to rub others down.
In fact, Huang Guan is still very famous in today's Ming Dynasty, especially among the literati circles. After all, he is the first person to write six poems, which is unprecedented in history.
However, Zhu Ying was completely out of touch with the literary circle.
After all, he was a college student in his previous life. A college student, he understands everything.
What kind of beautiful articles, poems and songs? Well, Yawen just figured it out a few years ago.
Besides, Zhu Ying can't do this either.
As a great grandson, it is enough to have a little appreciation.
Secondly, Huang Guan, or Xu Guan, because Huang Guan's father was a son-in-law, and it sounds simple to get married, but in fact, he had to change his surname.
In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, Xu Guan reached his peak and became famous in the Ming Dynasty.
At that time, Zhu Ying was still wandering around Mobei. News about the capital from the border area was much slower. Only some high-level officials knew about Xu Guan.
By the time Zhu Ying came to the capital with Zhu Di on the 25th day of his reign due to the death of the crown prince Zhu Biao, naturally no one talked about Xu Guan.
Firstly, after a year, the popularity has subsided, and secondly, the death of the prince is of course more important than that of a scholar.
Xu Guan was indeed tempered by Zhu Yuanzhang and was placed in the Ministry of Rites, where he was promoted to minister.
Zhu Ying's eyes lit up.
This is a super academic, no, an invincible academic god.
With regard to this IQ, Zhu Ying feels that it is definitely no worse than Einstein and other later generations of celebrities.
The imperial examination was more difficult than the college entrance examination in later generations.
Later generations lived in poverty for ten years, and taking the college entrance examination and the imperial examination were a matter of a lifetime.
Thirty-year-old Ming Jing, fifty-year-old Jinshi.
If you reach the tenth grade at the age of fifty, you are considered a young person.
This has nothing to do with knowledge, it's purely a matter of difficulty.
The average age of the number one scholar is thirty years old.
How can a person without a super high IQ touch the No. 1 Scholar's Gate?
He was a genius from the beginning.
As for winning three yuan in a row, he is only comparable to seventeen people in the thousand-year-old imperial examination. He is a genius among geniuses. Almost everyone has the reputation of being a child prodigy since childhood.
As for Xu Guan, he was allowed to restore his father's surname in the 29th year of Hongwu and changed his name to Huang Guan.
Genius is not enough to describe him, his IQ can be called a monster.
In fact, Huang Guan is not only talented and academically talented, but his conduct is also unique.
An old minister of Jianwen in history, he thought Zhu Di was a rebel and traitor, so he committed suicide after the city of Nanjing was destroyed!
Zhu Ying didn't know this.
After all, he is not a historian.
It is truly the most regrettable thing that such intelligent monsters died in the struggle for imperial power before they could fully demonstrate their talents.
Zhu Ying personally feels that his IQ has exceeded that of famous scientists like Einstein.
After reading Huang Guan's profile, Zhu Ying couldn't wait any longer and directly issued an order to Liu He: "Immediately summon Huang Guan, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, to the palace for an interview."
