Chapter 1132: Court pair
"Secretary of Edo General Ji Shun meets with him"
The attendant outside the door sang a loud salute, Wang Tong nodded. Soon, two attendants led a general in his early twenties in. When they arrived in front of Wang Tong, the general knelt down to see the salute.
"What are your family kneeling? Get up quickly, give me a seat, give me a seat"
Seeing this general Li Shun, Wang Tong, whose expression had not changed much, smiled and his face was full of love. The servants didn't feel strange, and they had prepared seats long ago.
As attendants around Wang Tong, most of them were nobles, military generals and the children of nobles from all over the country. Some descendants of civil servants also took this path
This is a shortcut. After a period of experience, you will usually start as a deputy battalion officer in the army. In the local area, you will also serve as deputy to the county-level real power yamen.
In fact, what is really hard to bear is the first actual position of these servants. They have to be in the military for four years, and the front line can be shortened to three years. If there is military merit, it will be two years. If the civil servants do not have the credits personally recognized by the emperor, they must be in the local area for five years.
There are also special cases among them. For example, some young people who have performed well during their tenure as servants will be assigned to Nanyang and Luguo to serve as county-level local positions. This system was actually implemented before Wang Tong became emperor. Young people who served as personal soldiers and civil servants around Wang Tong are actually reserve personnel for the civil and military system.
After their first actual job is completed, their performance and evaluation will be directly reviewed by various yamen in the center, and then decided to be appointed. The subsequent promotion will be much faster than that of young people who come from other ways.
There are rumors that the servants will get a simple evaluation after leaving Wang Tong. If the evaluation is not good, they will be promoted to a full-time position after the first actual term expires and conduct an inspection for a while.
After all, this system has just become a formal law for one year. In the past, it was just the rule of the Duke of Liao and the Prince of Lelang.
Nowadays, many of the young talents in the empire have held various positions with Wang Tong, which is well known.
But there are not many young people who can be treated so intimately in front of the emperor. Moreover, this young man has never served as a servant by Wang Tong. He was promoted step by step from an ordinary spearman in the army. In six years, he went from a soldier to a dog general who guarded one side. Including Ming Dynasty, he was the first to be the first.
This young man named Li Shun was indeed very outstanding. When he was stationed in Edo Castle, he discovered the remnants of Tokugawa in the city. After sending people to urgently inform the Edo garrison, he called out more than a dozen companions and more than 30 guards of Sanjiang Trading Company, guarded the west gate of Edo Castle and blocked the attack of a total of 3,000 people.
There are hundreds of original samurai and dozens of iron cannons left in Tokugawa. Such power cannot be said to be strong. There are nearly 10,000 farmers who were mobilized outside the city. Once the city gate is opened, the situation will immediately become corrupt. At that time, Wang Tong's reputation in the Ming Dynasty was at its peak, and major events are underway. No mistakes are allowed. This Li Shun has won two hours, and only two companions survived.
But then the garrison in the city was raised, and the garrison outside the east gate rushed over. The rebellion was suppressed and the situation was stable.
Li Shun made great contributions to the "Edo Rebellion in Taichang", which was the basis for his promotion. However, strictly speaking, this great contribution could not allow him to become a general within six years, because he was the only son of King Li Hutou of Lu, and the title of the heroes and nobles was not given according to the Ming system. The king's title was only given to him and not given birth to the gods.
Originally, Wang Tong thought that Li Hutou had no children. Later, Shi Qi sent someone to investigate and found out that although Li Hutou was unmarried, he had lived with the daughter of a local businessman and promised to take the other party as a concubine. However, after Li Hutou had an accident, the woman died of an emergency. The family was afraid of disaster and kept raising Li Shun incognito, and sent him to the imperial guards as soldiers.
It was also a coincidence that when Li Shun was tracking down his background, Li Shun happened to make great contributions in Edo, so he was promoted step by step.
"Foreign generals come to Beijing and do errands are the most important thing, otherwise they will be evaluated by "not diligently". Therefore, if you come to Beijing to do a job, you can't eat breakfast. Haven't you eaten yet?"
The servants were watching their hearts with their mouths and noses, but they also exchanged glances with some unsteady, thinking that Emperor Wu was very strict with his children, but was so kind to this young master.
"If you say goodbye to your majesty, I haven't had breakfast yet."
"You are growing up now, how can you not eat? Come and arrange for the people in the imperial kitchen to bring some food."
A servant nodded and agreed. He was about to leave, but was stopped by Wang Tong. Wang Tong patted his forehead and said with a smile:
"Let the kitchen cook dried cowpeas and stewed meat, cook dog fire and braised"
The servant who received the order was stunned. Why did His Majesty and others talk about such kitchen regulations? Did he hear it wrong? But Xun reacted and hurriedly went there.
Li Shun is also one of the legends among the Imperial Warriors. With this life experience, he has attracted attention. Wang Tong has seen him twice in total. Today is the second time. Although the servants around him have heard of him, they feel Li Shun's favor today.
In front of Wang Tong, Li Shun was obviously a little nervous and restrained. The more kind and close Wang Tong's attitude was, the more uncomfortable he was. When he heard this, he quickly stood up and thanked him again.
While talking, Wang Tong kept looking at Li Shun. Seeing him get up and thanking him, he waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Your father likes this dish the most back then. I have to let me eat three bowls of rice at a time..."
Speaking of this, Wang Tong patted his forehead with his hand again, but he fell silent. The atmosphere in the political affairs hall was a bit dull. Shen An was about to persuade him, but Wang Tong cleared his throat but changed the subject himself and said:
"This time I asked you to come back to report your work, mainly because I want to hear what you said in your memorial. There are always things that cannot be said when you exchange letters, so you can tell me."
When talking about business affairs, Li Shun was a little more natural and quickly stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, although the country has been wars for years, it is also the size of our two provinces, Dahua Province, with nearly 10 million people. Our army stationed a total of 50,000, and was divided into places to guard the land. Our army is a strong army in the world, and the people are weak. Now it seems that peace and worry-free, but it is not a long-term solution. If the army is sent more troops and the military expenses are abundant, if Dahua is borne, it will be in vain. If the country bears it, it may be possible in a short time, but it will be bad for a long time...
The conversation in the palace this day almost formed the foundation for Dahua's policy towards the Luguo in the future. Of course, the name of Luguo was Haidong Province. Haidong Province began to have eight prefectures, and later it became thirteen prefectures, a total of counties, and four separate prefectures and cities.
In the first place, the entry and exit between the various prefectures was like a foreign country, and the inspection was extremely strict. Only Chinese merchants could pass through. During the third year of Emperor Wu of Dahua, the hunched people began to absorb the hunched people into the army. However, the hunched people's army did not provide firearms. Only males who lived in the garrison were eligible to register. They must have family and brothers as guarantees and must understand Chinese.
This army of hunched people is called the security army. Local soldiers are not allowed to be in the local area. Moreover, under intentional dispatch, people from places of feudal areas are often stationed in public security.
In the time and space without Wangtong, for Naoguo, the concept of "Japan" has always been just a concept. People from each vassal states only know that they are from this vassal state, not a Japanese. Toyotomi Hideyoshi had been integrating Naoguo for too short, and there was no integration between the vassal states. The conquest of Ming and Hua and the practice of strictly dividing the boundaries have exacerbated this distinction, making Naoguo unable to be combined into a unified force everywhere.
The promotion regulations of the Public Security Army even the hu people themselves praise. As long as they accumulate military merits to the level, they will be promoted immediately, but they will not be in their own camp and will often be transferred to other places. If they receive two promotions and Chinese is equivalent to Han people, they will be transferred to Dahua, stationed in Jianzhou Province or Haixi Province. Where they will not be treated as Hu people, but as Han people.
If he wants, the person can move his family to Jianzhou or Haixi, where he can obtain a piece of hereditary land. If he doesn't want to, he will get a civilian position somewhere in Luguo
Overall, Dahua's control over Nakui is strong and weak, Kyushu is the strongest. On the one hand, it has the assistance of the navy and maritime merchants, and on the other hand, it has the help of the Shimazu family. On the Honshu Island, the control of Osaka Prefecture and Edo Prefecture is also good, because both places have harbors and garrisons.
The policy that truly made the Luguo become Haidong Province a hundred years later is not the above rules, but the policy of "speaking Chinese, writing Chinese characters, wearing Han costumes and doing Han people are Han people..."
The sages and people of the hunchback who were originally very respectful of Chinese civilization did not resist the umbrella policy. Although this nation is fierce and violent and likes to go to extremes, it surrenders to the strong.
That is, after the implementation of this policy, one-quarter of the population of the Lu Kingdom had met this standard, and most of them were wealthy merchants, nobles, monks and the original samurai class. These were the middle and upper class of this nation. At this time, the suggestion of the Lu Kingdom to change Haidong Province was proposed.
"Mongolia, Jurchens, Korea, and the leopard countries, except for different language customs, their appearances are no different from those of the Chinese people. They should be Chinese descendants who scattered all over the world in ancient times. After such a nation was completely assimilated, they were Han people. Ten, fifty, and hundred years later, they were all Chinese people. As for those people with high noses, deep eyes, blue eyes and white skin, they are not my race. In the long run, they will definitely be alive and dead."
