Chapter 600: The Army of the Son of Heaven (Ninth)

In Wang Shouren's opinion, the relationship between him and Ye Chunqiu is probably similar to that of his brothers.

But... this 'little brother' is about the same age as his son.

Wang Shouren found this idea a little funny, so he smiled and said, "Chunqiu, Brother Yu only asks you one thing."

Ye Chunqiu thought to himself: "This famous brother-in-law is afraid he will start talking big."

How can a person not have any ideas? What's more, he is a person who has just returned from Guizhou for a few years! I'm afraid that Wang Shouren has been thinking about life in the past few years, but he doesn't know what life experiences have?

While walking out of the palace, Wang Shouren seemed very cautious and pondered for a moment before saying, "Does Liu Gongren and others agree with the matter of conquering ****?"

"Hmm?" Ye Chunqiu unexpectedly, this was the first question Wang Shouren asked.

Wang Shouren's expression was very serious, and he continued: "Have Chunqiu ever thought about why the martial artists in this world are so humble?"

"Hey..." He said this, he sighed with his hands behind his back, and then continued, "Actually, it is not entirely true that the martial arts are humble. Look at the palace vanguards in the capital, the Jinwu Guards and the Jinyiwei Guards, which one is not enviable by everyone? Why? This is because they are the emperor's personal army; and what about the Shangsi Guards and the Warriors Camp? When did the Warriors camp expand, it was not crowded with people, and countless people wanted to serve? Why? This is because everyone in the world knows that this Imperial Horse Supervisor is the backer of the Warriors Camp. In the Spring and Autumn Period, people are all seeking profits. The so-called world is bustling for profits, and the world is bustling for profits. If you want everyone to be a moral gentleman, you will inevitably force others. The martial arts status is humble. In essence, most of the garriors in the world have no backers. They are not the Warriors camp, and they are not the Jinyiwei, so... if you want to build a new army, you must first determine whose military horse it is?"

Ye Chunqiu frowned and said, "This is what Your Majesty mean."

Wang Shouren smiled and said, "But you forgot that there are more than twenty guards in the emperor's personal army. These are all called the emperor's military horses, but why are the popular ones always the Jinyiwei, the Palace Forewarrior and the Jinwuwei? Why do you think? This is because who is closer to His Majesty, can be called the personal army just now. As for the others, they are just famous."

Wang Shouren looked at Ye Chunqiu's thoughtful expression, paused, and said, "It is precisely because of this that I asked Chunqiu, what kind of military horse is this town? Although Brother Yu heard that there is no organization in the town at the moment, since His Majesty personally promoted the construction, he should be the army of the emperor. Besides that, what else? The town at the gate should always have a backer."

Ye Chunqiu felt that Wang Shouren had something in his words, and couldn't help but say, "So what does Brother Wang mean?"

Wang Shouren said: "Since only a hundred people are recruited, then you might as well raise the standards. How about taking Tong Sheng as the backbone?"

Ye Chunqiu suddenly realized that Wang Shouren meant to let the students join the army!

You should know that in the Ming Dynasty, there are countless scholars, but those who can get the exam are like crucian carp trees. I don’t know how many poor people have to study, but they still cannot win the students. They are discouraged, but they have to seek other careers to make a living. This is true in the south of the Yangtze River and the capital, because of the proliferation of scholars, and even many scholars find it difficult to make a living.

The imperial examination is a single-plank bridge after all. Anyway, the town’s quota is now 100 people, so you can set the conditions appropriately to attract some children, but...

Ye Chunqiu glanced at the elder brother-in-law, and Wang Shouren still said: "In addition, if you send some news, just say... the palace means suppressing the ****, especially the Warriors Camp..."

Ye Chunqiu was stunned for a moment, dad, my brother-in-law was very thoughtful.

Recruiting a child will definitely lead to criticism.

After all, if scholars go to military service, there will definitely be people who will scold them in this era. This is no different from trafficking good women to do arouse.

But what will happen next if the news of the Warriors camp suppression is released?

This criticism will definitely be calmed down for the time being, because the Warriors' Battalion has a bad reputation. Why is it not famous? Because it belongs to the Imperial Horse Prison, because it is a military horse controlled by eunuchs.

In this era, the relationship between scholars and eunuchs was similar to that of doctor-patient relationships in later generations, and they were always tense.

Isn’t this equivalent to the eunuchs attacking scholars when the Warriors camp suppressed the ****, isn’t this equivalent to the eunuchs attacking scholars? Although Tong Sheng’s grade is low, he is always half a scholar, right? What’s more, the leading figure is the top scholar in the fifth year of Zhengde, and his deputy is the Jinshi in the 12th year of Hongzhi.

So what will happen next?

Ye Chunqiu thought about it, then became shocked. He suddenly felt that his brother-in-law went to Guizhou to play with mud. He even wanted to go there for a few years. After all, he was idle every day. After a year, the time to think about life is equivalent to someone else's life.

Wang Shouren only looked at Ye Chunqiu's expression, and immediately realized that Ye Chunqiu understood what he meant. He looked at Ye Chunqiu meaningfully and said, "Chunqiu, those who do great things are most afraid of being reckless. The relationship between the Ming Dynasty was complicated. Since we cannot please anyone, we might as well determine our position first. It is naturally necessary to be loyal to the emperor, but we must not be without helpers. The town has neither organization nor food nor wages. This is equivalent to a lonely army. You and I, one is a compiler and the other is a postman. If you and I have a low position, you must do unusual things. Otherwise, you will be lost in the guards and in the end, even those guards with salary can be received."

Ye Chunqiu listened to Wang Shouren's unique insights, his face darkened, and nodded, "I have to find a free time to enter the palace and say hello to Your Majesty first."

Wang Shouren couldn't help but be slightly surprised. He suddenly realized that his brother-in-law was not simple at all, but behind this fifteen-year-old boy, there was unusual stability.

He said seriously: "Since this is the case, it's just... even if the recruitment of soldiers is only a hundred, it's a lot of money. Does this town government have money?"

After all, Wang Shouren is not a fantasy, and he quickly shifted from theory to practical issues.

Do you have money? I'll tell you something about yarn if you don't have money.

Ye Chunqiu smiled at this time and said, "This... I have to go back and flip through the account book. I don't know how many tens of thousands of taels can be withdrawn. However, the current expenses of one or two months must be enough."
