Chapter 595 Is the son going to the military academy, or is he going to be a part-time pensioner in the Guidance Hall?
Zhengzhou City is a large city in the Central Plains. Although it may not be as famous as Luoyang or Kaifeng, it is the seat of the provincial capital of Henan Province in the Ming Dynasty. In terms of scale, Zhengzhou City at this time is the largest city in the Central Plains.
.
Cao Ruohai brought the main force of a division to the city of Zhengzhou. When he accepted Chen Yongfu's army to leave the city and accept the surrender, he took a look at Zhengzhou City. It was a great city in the Central Plains, but it was completely destroyed by the war. There were ruins everywhere, just like this city.
, how did Chen Yongfu defend the city?
"The guilty general will lead his troops out of the city to meet the king's division! Please ask the general to review the soldiers and lead the king's division back to the city!" After arranging the team, Chen Yongfu took his son and generals, rode to the front of Cao Ruohai's honor guard, dismounted and knelt down to ask.
drop.
"Mr. Chen, don't give a big salute! The imperial court has changed the kneeling ceremony, and I can't stand it! Please get up quickly. There is no way to improve after confessing your sins. Your Majesty has always been concerned about Mr. Chen's previous actions in scolding thieves for the country.
What are you thinking about? This time the commander-in-chief knew the important thing and led his troops to reorganize. Your Majesty and the imperial court are very happy, and they will definitely not criticize the general and his subordinates harshly." Cao Ruohai saw Chen Yongfu saluting in front of the formation and quickly dismounted and helped him up.
Chen Yongfu!
After helping Chen Yongfu up, Cao Ruohai asked him to mount his horse and lead him to review the surrendering troops, and asked the adjutant accompanying the army to go around the formation to read out the reorganization policy. After leaving relevant personnel to arrange the surrendering troops out of the city, he led the army to Chen Yongfu and others
Accompanied by his wife, he entered Zhengzhou City and formally took over the city.
It is very troublesome to take over a big city. Even if it is a peaceful takeover, it takes a lot of effort. It took two days of hard work to basically straighten out the takeover affairs.
"Mr. Chen, the work of taking over Zhengzhou City has basically been completed. Next, there is the formal reorganization of your troops. For the time being, your troops will be placed in the camp outside the city, and the reorganization personnel of the Ministry of War will take about two months.
Time to complete the adaptation work. Among them, three to four thousand troops from your department will be recruited into the main battle force, and then a new security brigade will be built based on your troops. Former generals of your department will all enter the military academy to study. After completing their studies,
, confer positions based on merit. I hope the commander-in-chief will explain these arrangements clearly to his subordinates so that they will not feel uneasy."
"General, I would like to ask on behalf of one of my subordinates, is there any way for the court to arrange the people who are not incorporated into the combat soldiers and security brigades? These people are soldiers and feed themselves. If they cannot become soldiers, their livelihood will be a problem."
Chen Yongfu now has more than 10,000 soldiers under his command. According to the resettlement conditions Cao Ruohai said, they can only accommodate seven or eight thousand people at most. He is a little worried about what to do with the remaining people.
"The imperial court has a plan for this matter. The eliminated soldiers will be placed in the Anmin Farm in the Central Plains in the form of Anmin Farm. They will be cultivated to support themselves. They will not be allowed to fend for themselves. In the Anmin Farm,
, as long as you work, you will get money and food, so making a living is not a problem.”
The Central Plains has experienced wars and famines, and there is a lot of idle land and wasteland among the people. There is still some land to open some farms for the people. When discussing resettlement measures, some courtiers suggested that these surrendered troops should be moved to Liaodong or to high officials.
But Zhu Youjian rejected this proposal. There is a shortage of people in Liaodong and Daguan, but now the Central Plains is not rich in manpower. In recent years, it is better not to immigrate from Central Plains, Shanxi and other places. Central Plains must be managed well.
A few years to restore life!
"So, I'm relieved! General, Chen has another question, what kind of positions will generals in our army be given after they complete their studies at the military academy?"
"The principle of the imperial court is that the 30% with the best performance will be appointed according to the original assignment, the 30% with mediocre performance will be demoted one to three levels and be appointed, and the remaining 40% will be given some basic positions.
Those who are really useless can only be assigned to military positions and be placed as officials in Liaodong or other places. In short, when they arrive at the military academy, they must perform well and not neglect their studies, otherwise they will miss their future! It is His Majesty's mercy to allow them to enter the military academy.
What can they say if they don’t cherish the opportunity to reinvent themselves? Logically speaking, most people like them are not qualified and qualified to enter the military academy. There are still many good men in the regular army of the imperial court who cannot compete.
Where are the quotas for joining the military academy to become an officer?"
"The incompetent sons and gentlemen of Mr. Chen's subordinates are deeply grateful for the grace of the saint. I must warn them to cherish this favor and never pay any more favors to the saint!"
"It's good that the General Soldier knows the righteousness! By the way, after a while, the General Soldier will go to Beijing to serve in the Advisory Council. The imperial court should give the General Soldier a few more places to appease the old troops. How to choose the candidates? The General Soldier has in mind
I have a plan."
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"General, I am a guilty general and I don't know much about this matter. Especially for someone's incompetent son, I really can't make up my mind whether he should join the Advisory Council. I wonder if the general can give me some advice?"
"I'm afraid Uncle Guang'an told you something? Your son is not very old. I see that he seems to be a soldier. Entering the military academy to make a career will not be in vain for the inheritance of the general's lifelong military service. Although the Zixun Hall is a member of the imperial court
It’s a heavy yamen, but it’s still more suitable for resting, and it’s not a place for a young man in his prime to make achievements.”
Chen Yongfu's son Chen Hu was qualified to follow Chen Yongfu to serve as a casual post in the Counseling Hall, but Bai Guangen privately persuaded Chen Yongfu, telling him that it would be better not to use this quota and to send his son to the military academy.
The church is a place for the elderly. If you go in at a young age, you can't support someone who is decades old, right? After going to the military academy and developing for a few years, your Chen family will still have roots in the military. Otherwise, the roots of the Chen family will be destroyed.
Completely removed.
Bai Guangen's words did not make Chen Yongfu make up his mind. His family's soldiers had been reorganized. Can his son survive in the army? Will he be bullied or disliked? So, he asked Cao again
Ruohai, I want to hear what a real powerful person like him thinks about his son entering the military academy!
"I don't know if Quanzi can study well in the military academy? I don't know anything about the military academy. Otherwise, I can find an opportunity to bring Quanzi here. General, you can test it first to see if he can be used?"
"Commander, you are too useless. I can't see it. In His Majesty's words, practice brings true knowledge, and only true officers can test their merit. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, and the future is built step by step. Now,
You and I can't make a conclusion. But there is one thing. As long as the son has the ability, he will definitely not be buried in the army. For example, the eldest son of the general soldier of the Tang Dynasty has now become the division commander of the imperial army, and he is quite like a general.
prestige!"
Cao Ruohai heard the implication of Chen Yongfu's words. He wanted to endorse his son! This kind of thing must not be done, but it is still possible to explain the basic situation clearly. So he gave the example of Tang Tong's son,
Tell Chen Yongfu tactfully that as long as your son works hard, your status will not be an obstacle to his promotion!
