Chapter 155 Jiajing: I am the Heaven of Ming Dynasty
Further reforms in the military system came quickly.
After almost all the generals and soldiers who were transferred to the Inspection Department were transferred to their posts, the imperial court's next reform plan was distributed to various guard posts.
As Shen Jin speculated, the first thing to be improved is the welfare of soldiers.
In the past, they were only given a monthly salary, but now all soldiers enjoy the same treatment as ninth-grade officials.
Pensions, subsidies, and allowances are all paid at once.
If this was only expected, then the following military reform was far beyond everyone's expectations.
Zhu Biao introduced the military rank system. Of course, in the Ming Dynasty, it was not called military rank, but a noble system.
General officer, colonel officer, lieutenant officer, non-commissioned officer.
Each level is divided into three levels like Gonghou Bo.
In total, it's level four and level twelve.
When Zhu Yuanzhang was granted the title of Duke in the third year of Hongwu, he granted four kinds of titles, namely, king, duke, marquis, and earl. These four kinds of titles have annual salary and can be inherited by future generations. Although there are certain conditions for this hereditary, even if it reaches
If conditions are not met, it can be downgraded to hereditary status.
The fourth-class title under the earl that Zhu Biao created now is not hereditary, but like the Duke and the Duke, he has proof of military exploits.
Zhu Biao even designed special medals made of extraordinary materials for each level of title.
Of course, a knighthood is not just a matter of issuing a medal. It also represents glory and continuous annual salary, as well as corresponding pensions and welfare benefits.
Take a fifth-grade Qianhu as an example. If he also has the title of third-class school official, in addition to receiving a fifth-grade salary every month, he will also receive a third-class salary every year.
The annual salary of a school official is much higher than that of a fifth-rank official.
Moreover, the Lord's annual salary is not like that of an official. If he loses his official position, it will be gone. Even if he can get a pension later, he will have to serve in the army for fifteen years.
This annual salary has no restrictions and can be obtained until death.
Once this policy came out, it was another huge incentive for generals at all levels.
The titles of duke, marquis and uncle are too far away for these low-level generals, but the following fourth-class titles are very close at hand!
This is not only a symbol of glory, but also represents a doubled salary!
Everyone's eyes were gleaming with excitement under this Lordship system, and they wished that there would be a big battle soon for them to accumulate military exploits.
"I seem to see the shadow of the Qin system in the current Ming Dynasty military system!"
"I really don't know why His Highness the Crown Prince came up with such an aggressive system when everything is settled and the country is peaceful and the people are safe."
"Is the imperial court going to conquer Annan next?"
"That's not right either!"
"The small Annan can be conquered by sending a small brigade, why bother to engage in such a large battle?" In a house in Nanjing City, Liu Ji and Song Lian sat opposite each other, also discussing what was now happening in the entire Ming Dynasty.
The rumored Lordship System.
Hearing that Song Lian was quite critical of the Lordship system, Liu Ji wanted to say that this was the preparation work done by His Majesty and His Royal Highness for the second revival of spiritual energy in the Ming Dynasty and the next different world.
But in the end he didn't speak.
Although the different world is no longer a secret in the eyes of many senior officials, everything that should be known is already known, but what should not be known is still unknown.
Just like Song Lian, as a pure scholar, he didn't know.
It is very troublesome to explain this kind of thing, and Liu Ji is too lazy to say more.
"Song Gong, we can't help with the military system of the imperial court, so it's better to ignore it. Let's just talk about poetry today and nothing else."
Liu Ji changed the topic with a smile and did not dwell on the sensitive topic of military system.
As the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate for more than 20 years, he has learned to be cautious in his words and deeds.
January of the thirty-first year of Hongwu.
Zhu Biao, who was busy working on the Ming Dynasty's system reform in various directions in the Xumi Illusion Realm, suddenly heard a series of system prompts in his ears.
[You have completed the second phase of the task]
[Task name: The sun rises in the east, I am the only one who dominates]
【Conquer Britain:96%】
【Conquer France:99%】
[Conquer Tsarist Russia: 91%]
【Conquer America:90%】
【Conquer Japan: 100%】
[Conquer the world: 80%]
[The mission reward has been distributed, please check it carefully]
【Do you want to settle the task now? 】
[After the mission is completed, the space gate leading to the late Qing Dynasty plane will be closed]
"Huh……!
"So it turns out that to complete this mission, you only need to increase the world conquest level to 80, right?"
The expression on Zhu Biao's face was somewhat wonderful.
He really didn't know about this, and the system didn't give any prompt.
Perhaps not only the world conquest degree, but the conquest degree of those countries should also reach 80!
If this is the case, it would be too unfair for the Japanese.
You must know that in order to maintain the Japanese conquest degree at 100 in the past two years, Lao Zhu killed many people.
"But it doesn't matter. It won't hurt if the Japanese kill a little more. The key is that the mission is completed, which is very comfortable!"
A smile appeared on Zhu Biao's lips, and with a thought, he directly sent all the mission rewards to Lao Zhu.
This time he didn't stop anything.
It’s probably rare to see a boss like me!
Zhu Yuanzhang was working in Beiping City in the late Qing Dynasty.
To be honest, he has been a little worried during this period. He has beaten those who should be fought and killed those who should be killed. The progress of conquering the world is still slow. Is it possible that he will start another world war by himself?
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was in a dilemma, the system prompts began to ring in his ears.
Unlike Zhu Biao, Lao Zhu's face showed no emotion or anger from beginning to end.
Even Mao Xiang, who was next to him, didn't notice that Zhu Yuanzhang's mood fluctuated a bit at this moment.
"Mao Xiang!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said.
"Our planned evacuation can be started!"
"Be cautious, it's best not to let too many people notice this!"
"Let's hope that after we leave here, the whole world can still operate smoothly and orderly!"
"Yes!" Mao Xiang responded respectfully and went down to do some work.
Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief.
Although there were some twists and turns, the mission on this plane was finally completed successfully.
There are still three years left before the mission, and he has enough time to hand over power.
He also believed that with the foundation he laid for China, no matter how the world political landscape changes, the Chinese will definitely be the ones standing at the center of the future world stage...
Three more years have passed in the blink of an eye.
These three years were peaceful both during the Ming Dynasty and the late Qing Dynasty.
The transformation of science and technology is still continuing, but this time it is no longer the West that leads technology, but the Ming Dynasty.
This is true for both planes.
In the last three years of his stay here, Zhu Yuanzhang remained the same as he had been in the late Ming Dynasty, basically no longer interfering in China's affairs. He even brought Queen Ma over to have a good tour of the world.
Just treat it as a holiday for yourself.
After all, now my son can take charge of his own affairs, handle government affairs quickly and well, and make the whole country prosperous, so he doesn't have to use it in vain!
And there are really not many opportunities like this. Once this plane closes, the next plane will soon open, and it is very likely that it will be accompanied by a second revival of spiritual energy.
By then, I will be busy again.
[Congratulations on successfully passing the first level of the World Tree game]
[The world you are in has officially started the second round of spiritual energy recovery]
[After evaluation, your actions in the late Qing Dynasty reached the perfect level, and you received a privilege]
[You will have the opportunity to turn the next hostile plane into a sub-plane]
[The hostile plane is being matched...]
[The enemy plane has been selected]
[Introduction: I want to cultivate immortality, my power is boundless, I am the Ming Dynasty, no one can change the clouds and rain in front of me - Jiajing]
[Level: Confucianism, Taoism and Talent Level 2]
[As a son of the plane, you will receive the following privileges]
[1. Global Perspective, 2. Psychic Center]
[Warning, the second round of spiritual energy recovery will come with extraordinary creatures, please be prepared]
Although Zhu Biao was well prepared for the system prompts he would receive when the mission deadline came, he never expected that there would be such a large amount of information accompanying the second resurgence of spiritual energy.
Especially when this extraordinary creature comes, it doesn't look so friendly.
And what the hell is the introduction to this hostile plane!
Is Emperor Jiajing, a son of a hostile plane, so arrogant? He directly wrote his name on it. Is this because he was afraid that he would not know that he was a son of a plane?
I have never seen such an arrogant son of the plane!
"It seems it's time for Lao Zhu to beat up this unworthy descendant again." Thinking of that scene, Zhu Biao couldn't help but smile.
After modifying the system information he obtained, he sent it to Lao Zhu, and Zhu Biao ignored it.
He focused on his two newfound privileges.
The spiritual energy center is easy to understand. Because I am a son of the plane, this second round of spiritual energy recovery will be centered on Ming Dynasty. To be precise, it will be centered on myself.
And this global perspective is very interesting.
Zhu Biao thought, and instantly his consciousness seemed to be soaring into the clouds, flying upwards, and soon within his field of vision, even the entire city of Nanjing was included in his eyes.
As soon as his consciousness stirred, he instantly appeared above a mansion in Nanjing City.
Inside, in broad daylight, a man and a woman were making a baby.
It looked like he was having an affair.
"Tsk, tsk!" Zhu Biao was not interested in this. He only glanced at it twice, and his consciousness suddenly changed. In an instant, he was thousands of miles away, and he directly arrived in Africa.
Two black men, a man and a woman, were working in the wilderness.
"Hey, why do I always see this kind of thing!" Zhu Biao felt a little unlucky, and his consciousness moved again, and he was in Europe again in the blink of an eye.
The two lords below were fighting. Zhu Biao watched with interest for a while, but soon lost interest again.
"I'll fly up and see how high I can fly...!"
Soon, Zhu Biao flew directly out of the earth, and his consciousness appeared in space. When he looked back, the entire earth suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
"This privilege is so awesome!"
"But apart from finding one or two pairs of wild mandarin ducks, it doesn't seem to be of any use!"
Zhu Biao was a little helpless.
He had already tried it just now. No matter what happened in front of him, he could only watch and nothing else.
It's hard to even make a sound.
"Huh……!"
Soon Zhu Biao made a new discovery. He discovered that countless colorful light balls in space were approaching the planet under his feet.
"What are these?" Zhu Biao was a little surprised.
With a thought in his mind, his consciousness instantly came closer to the light ball closest to him.
"There...is actually a small world?" Zhu Biao was even more surprised.
Because his consciousness could actually see the flowers, plants, trees, and all kinds of strange beasts within the ball of light.
Perhaps this is the truth behind the arrival of so-called extraordinary creatures.
Countless small worlds are moving towards the earth, and there are countless extraordinary creatures in each small world.
Looking at all this, Zhu Biao suddenly had countless doubts in his mind.
Who created this so-called World Tree game?
Isn’t this a bit too magical?
This is the first time Zhu Biao has thought deeply about the things hidden behind the World Tree game.
Maybe everything I am experiencing now is not without reason.
But obviously he is not qualified to investigate yet.
But this is like playing a game. As Lao Zhu continues to play level after level, one day he will clear this so-called World Tree game and understand the truth of all things.
"According to the moving speed of these small worlds, the fastest one will reach the earth in seven days, and judging from the direction of its fall, it happens to be within the territory of the Ming Dynasty. It seems that I need to prepare early!"
Zhu Biao put away his playful mentality and his consciousness returned to his body instantly.
He understood that next, the Ming Dynasty and even the whole world would face a great catastrophe.
Fortunately, Daming has made complete preparations for this...
On the other side, at the same time that Zhu Biao's consciousness was traveling in the starry sky, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was working in the Fengtian Palace, also received Zhu Biao's modified system prompt tone.
"Um?"
"The next plane is actually the Ming Dynasty again?"
"Is this Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong?"
"To be honest, I don't have much interest in this unscrupulous descendant, but if I were in the Jiajing Dynasty, would I be able to meet Zhang Juzheng?"
"In comparison, I am more interested in this person." A trace of expectation flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.
