The soldiers are fond of killing, which is because of their military merits. The more enemies they kill, the higher their military merits will naturally be. Especially for soldiers, the only criterion for measuring military merits is the number of beheadings.

The number of heads that kill the enemy will naturally have a lot of military achievements. For ordinary soldiers, this has been the case in all dynasties. However, for Ying Yi, there are people who measure the energy of the enemy, and there will be no mistakes or greed.

As the Ming Dynasty reached its present, this military merit system had long collapsed. Sometimes soldiers killed the enemy without even a name, and all military merits were given by the superiors.

If you can't stand up, who is willing to fight to the death for the Ming Dynasty?

The most important military merits in history were the Qin and Han dynasties. The Qin and Han dynasties were not granted titles without military merits, so some people called Qin and Han imperialism or ****.

Among them, the Qin Dynasty was particularly serious. The Qin Dynasty ruled the country with law, and the rules and regulations were extremely strict. At its peak, the military achievements were fulfilled without any mistakes. Therefore, the Qin people were happy when they heard about the war and were the most warlike.

The foundation for Emperor Qin Shi’s unification of the world was laid.

Ying Yi is also considering this issue now. In troubled times, the army is particularly important. The increase or decrease of humanitarian energy measures the amount of military achievements and does not go on a business trip. He rewards the true spirit with military achievements, but this is not enough.

It is imperative to have military merits and titles. It is only temporarily and it is not possible to put it on the surface. However, the promotion of an officer can be completely transparent.

Those with high military merits are just like this.

Of course, simply judging military merits by beheading numbers can only be at the level of low-level officers. At intermediate or above officers, they have corresponding requirements for military wisdom. Soldiers only care about killing, killing, while officers have to care about how to kill.

However, the training of officers also requires education. Some soldiers are very good at killing people, but they are stupid and cannot become more senior officers in the end. This is also helpless.

The popularization of knowledge in this era was not enough. Although Ying Yi wanted to train the officer immediately, it was not possible for a while.

He sent a new book to Ji Xiao to officers above the battalion general, and strictly ordered them to learn the above knowledge, which was actually for this consideration.

For the time being, he is not very powerful and has not been completely stable. Whether it is the education of military officers or the training of civil servants, he must wait until everything is stable and slowly be implemented in the farming field.

After nearly 10,000 true spirits were fed back based on military merits, Ying Yi had 1,900 soldiers under his command who were different from ordinary soldiers, and they were the seeds of Ying Yi's strong army.

According to Ying Yi's prediction, by the time he occupied the entire thirteen counties of Nanyang, the humanitarian list blessed by his own humanitarian energy should be able to accommodate 15,000 to 20,000 places. If he occupied the entire Henan, it would surge to about 50,000.

If the civil governance is successful, this data will increase significantly.

Ying Yi is very looking forward to this.

...

Luo Rucai was destroyed. Not to mention how Li Chuang reacted, he said that the next afternoon, after receiving a message from Sun Xiucai, Ying Yi had to return to Yuzhou.

Last night, Ying Yi ordered Zhang Shi to send someone back to Yuzhou. He came back today to bring a message to Ying Yi. After hearing this news, Ying Yi had to leave himself.

He summoned the officers, retelled the strategies that focus on defense and training, and urged to strengthen the defense facilities of Xiangcheng County, and then took Zhang Silingen and his two guards to Yuzhou with their fast horses and light horses.

The news from Sun Xiucai only said that it was related to Zhou Li.

It was said that Zhou Li gave a hot potato to Yuzhou. After learning about the origin of this hot potato, neither Sun Xiucai nor Zheng Yunzhi could make a decision, so he could only ask Ying Yi to make a decision.

Ying Yi and three riders, with fast horses and whipped them back to Yuzhou County at night.

Sun Xiucai and Zheng Yunzhi were waiting for him.

"What hot potato must I come back?" Ying Yi said solemnly: "After the thieves who were defeated by Luo Rucai's troops, the thieves will react. What if I get into trouble this time?"

When Sun Xiucai and Zheng Yunzhi heard this, they both smiled bitterly.

Zheng Yunzhi said: "I can't make any decisions about what your subordinates do. What can I do if you don't come back in person?"

Sun Xiucai said: "Lord, General Zhou this time... his subordinates really cannot make a decision. This matter concerns the royal relatives, and it is really a mistake."

"Relative relatives? What's going on?" Ying Yi frowned when he heard this.

Only then did the scholar Sun tell the story.

It turned out that Zhou Li led his troops to Wuyang to station and cleaned up Wuyang County. There were also officials who followed the army to gather refugees, appease the people's hearts, encourage the land reclamation, etc. Everything was in an orderly manner.

But two days ago, a team of 100 people arrived in Wuyang. It was the commander of the Jinyiwei, a relative of the country. Tian Hongyu was the father of Concubine Tian, ​​the concubine of Emperor Chongzhen, and the commander of the Jinyiwei. He has always been used to it. Once he arrived in Wuyang, he rushed around and was directly dispatched by Zhou Li to take it down.

If it were just like this, it would be fine. The so-called ignorant person is innocent. Although Tian Hong is a very famous person, it is not his turn to be in this place where the emperor is far away.

The key is that the soldiers under Zhou Li were too reckless and humiliated him in front of Tian Hongyu, and said that Ying Yi was like what he was like, and he was the wise ruler and would replace the Ming Dynasty.

This is not good.

If this is not the case, it can only be considered a misunderstanding. If Tian Hongyu is released, he will be compensated at most. But if this happens, it will be a traitor.

Can Tian Hongyu let go of such words in front of a royal relative?

Zhou Li didn't dare to let go, so after thinking about it, he had to send everyone to Yuzhou.

After hearing this, Ying Yi couldn't help but feel amused.

The world is so big, why did you meet Tian Hongyu?

He asked, "As the father of Concubine Tian, ​​Tian Hongyu, who is not in the capital, why did he come to Nanyang?"

Sun Xiucai said: "I've also asked clearly here. Tian Hong went to Jiangnan at the beginning of the year and secretly looked for a beautiful woman for the emperor. However, the road to the north was blocked by thieves. His team was quite large and his tracks were too obvious, so he dared not continue walking. He wandered in Huainan for a while. He heard that a Jinyiwei died in Nanyang. As the commander of the Jinyiwei, he came over and took a look."

Ying Yi was stunned for a moment, shook his head and laughed: "Come and have a look?"

Zheng Yunzhi said: "The thieves in Huainan are rampant, and I'm afraid they are also escaping their lives."

"Where can't escape, he just wants to go to Wuyang and bump into Zhou Li, the man." Ying Yi sighed: "Now I'm in a dilemma."

"So where is the person now?" Ying Yi asked.

"Because Yu Jue and Ren Dong are here, they dare not detain anyone in Yuzhou to avoid leaking news, so they all quietly sent to Fangchengshan." Sun Xiucai said: "Tian Hong met a very famous person, and it is not easy to kill or release. Lord, you can only decide on this matter."

Zheng Yunzhi nodded as well.

Ying Yi thought for a moment and said, "I heard that Emperor Chongzhen was frugal by nature and had only a few concubines in the harem after he ascended the throne for many years. How could Tian Hongyu go to the Jiangnan talent show?"

Sun Xiucai smiled bitterly and said, "He is making his own decisions and wants to please the emperor."

Ying Yi was speechless when he heard this.

He thought for a while: "No district will be available for the time being. Let's talk about it when I see this royal relative."

Sun Xiucai and Zheng Yunzhi both nodded and said yes.

Sun Xiucai suddenly laughed and said, "Master, according to his subordinates, it's not all bad things."
