Daming: I help my wife be the empress

When Li Yutian entered Guangzhou City, how to deal with Ding Kuichu and other Guangdong officials will not be mentioned for the time being.

Li Dingguo first asked the Fourth Town to set up camp outside the city, and then took his own soldiers to inspect the camps of Guangdong officers and troops.In addition to announcing his arrival, this move also has the meaning of showing the military might of the border guards.

After that he did nothing else.

The task given to him by the imperial court was to urge the reorganization of the Guangdong army, not to let him reorganize. The reorganization has always been the responsibility of the Recruitment Department and the Military Training Department of the Military Affairs Council.

However, the people who followed him to Guangdong this time included personnel from the Recruitment Department and the Military Training Department, as well as the Military Political Department and the Military Intelligence Department.

The Department of Military and Political Affairs should select suitable candidates from the local area to enrich the various departments of the Military Affairs Council, and do ideological education work for the reorganized Guangdong Garrison Army.

As for the mission of the Military Intelligence Department in Guangdong, he was not aware of it.

Seeing Li Dingguo leading his own soldiers to inspect the battalions, some generals of the Guangdong army couldn't help talking about the new army in private——

"Is this the frontier guard? The equipment is really good. Look at the cloth face armor, it looks much better than ours."

"This is Li Dingguo's personal soldier, and the border guards should be close to the frontier soldiers."

"It's almost beyond our reach - they defeated the Qing captives in the north, and we just went to Guangdong to suppress bandits and suppress some unthinkable mud legs."

"For this reorganization, I don't know how much the higher-ups will give us in Guangdong. Now my military salary is the main income of the family. If I am removed from the army, it will be difficult for the family."

"Didn't you say that you will pay the retirement fee, and you will arrange things to do?"

"That's what I said, but if you arrange a job like hard labor, are you willing to do it?"

"···"

In a certain battalion, Bai Changcan, commander of the Qingyuan Guard, could not help frowning slightly when he heard the discussions of some soldiers behind him.

At this time, a thousand households beside him said: "General, the reorganization will definitely clear out a lot of people. It seems that the morale of the army is a little unstable."

Another Qianhu continued: "I heard that all of us generals need to go to some kind of military academy to study, and we have to graduate before we can be reappointed as generals, which may not be as high as our current positions.

We are hereditary generals, and we were dropped in one fell swoop.The imperial court acted like this, not to mention the lowly pawns, even we were not convinced in our hearts. "

"Nonsense!" Bai Changcan immediately scolded upon hearing the words, then glared at the thousand households and said, "If you want to make trouble and seek death, don't bring your brothers in the army with you!"

This Qianhu actually wanted to test Bai Changcan's thoughts, but he couldn't help but talk too much.But the effect of testing Bai Changcan is even better - Bai Changcan's expression and words don't seem to be fake, obviously he doesn't intend to make trouble.

Speaking of which, the troubles caused by the officers and soldiers in Guangdong are also among the highest in Ming Dynasty.

The most famous of these is the mutiny of Dongshan recruiting soldiers under the command of the famous general Chen Lin during the Wannian period.

Of course, there were reasons for the mutiny of the soldiers.It is said that the army did not pay in March, and Chen Lin even drove hundreds of soldiers to do hard labor to build temples... Guangdong soldiers have a strong temper, and they immediately broke out.

Although there are many explanations from the imperial court for this reorganization, arrangements will be made for the retired soldiers.But in the past, the imperial court's reputation in the army was really bad, and Guangdong was remote. The soldiers here were skeptical about the rumors about the new emperor, so they were naturally skeptical about the arrangements after the reorganization.

Therefore, before Li Dingguo came, some soldiers were connecting in series - if the imperial court did not make arrangements after reorganization, they would definitely make a fuss.

There are quite a few people who have this kind of thinking, but after seeing Li Dingguo's personal soldiers today, many people changed their minds.

The trouble is to make the court compromise, not to kill.

But looking at the might of the frontier guards here, if they really make a fuss, they may not get any desired results other than death.

The next day.

Chen Bangyan, who served as a battalion staff officer in Li Dingguo's army, asked for leave and returned to his home in Shunde.

In fact, based on his personality, if he served in the army, he would not ask for leave to go home unless the court had a holiday.

But he had been away from home for too long (about one or two years), and even though Li Dingguo went to Guangxi to return home after the end of the war, he naturally wanted to take this opportunity to go home and have a look——Da Yu passed through the house three times without entering Not everyone can do it.

In addition, he vaguely guessed that the court was probably going to deal with Ding Kuichu this time.He was afraid that his relatives and friends would be involved, and hoped to find out and give some warnings.

Chen Bangyan was originally from Longshan, Shunde. Later, he and his father opened a school in Daliang, the county seat, to teach scriptures and teach disciples, so the family naturally moved to the county seat.

Although Chen Bangyan came back suddenly, he is a celebrity in Lingnan, and he is even a famous person in Shunde County. Therefore, as soon as he approached the county, many villagers recognized him and greeted him one after another. Chen Bangyan responded one by one.

Taking him back home, the family members were naturally quite pleasantly surprised to see him, and soon the whole family gathered together.

Chen Bangyan has a wife and a concubine, four sons and a daughter.

Among them, the eldest son and the second son have grown up, the daughter is fifteen years old, and the other two sons are twelve and thirteen.

Therefore, after the meeting, except for the eldest son and the second son, the rest were quickly dismissed by him.

Afterwards, he asked his eldest son directly, "Is there any connection between my family and Ding Futai?"

The eldest son Chen Gongyin said: "Except for the fact that Ding Futai sent people to condolences when my father was awarded the Jinshi, there is nothing involved."

Chen Bangyan nodded and said, "That's good."

Chen Gongyin was one of the three great masters in Lingnan in the early Qing Dynasty, and he was quite intelligent. What he thought of at this moment, he couldn't help asking: "Father, is there going to be a disaster for Ding Futai?"

Chen Bangyan shook his head, "Being a father just doesn't like being a human being." At the end, he urged, "You must not spread this matter to the outside world."

Chen Gongyin and Chen Xinyin looked at each other and responded together: "Son, remember."

Not long after, several disciples of Chen Bangyan also heard the news and came to visit.Among them are Ma Yingfang, the main general who assisted Chen Bangyan in his fight against the Qing Dynasty in later generations, and Qu Dajun, another member of the Three Great Masters in Lingnan.

Now Qu Dajun is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was selected as a scholar last year.

In the history of later generations, Qu Dajun inherited Chen Bangyan's will and followed Zheng Chenggong to continue fighting against the Qing Dynasty.In the first half of his life, he traveled all over China for more than [-] years, contacting people with lofty ideals in an attempt to restore the Ming Dynasty, rain or shine.

It was not until Zheng Keshun came to the Qing Dynasty that Qu Dajun returned to his hometown to live in seclusion and devoted himself to research.

Qu Dajun at this time and space naturally does not know that his fate has undergone major changes.

Because Qu Dajun is very intelligent, has an extraordinary talent for reading, and is the youngest among all his disciples, so Chen Bangyan loves him the most.

Others left one after another after visiting Chen Bangyan, but he stayed, took out a special issue of "Da Ming Pao", and asked Chen Bangyan for advice with a sad face.

"Teacher, I learned that the imperial court reformed the rural examination and will divide the examination into two subjects of arts and sciences. Today, the emperor also attaches great importance to science. He once said in the "Da Ming Pao" that there is a shortage of science talents in the Ming Dynasty, and encouraged my generation to study science.

After the special issue of "Da Ming Pao" came out, the disciple bought a copy, thinking of responding to the Holy Spirit's call to study science.

It turns out that the scientific knowledge contained in it is quite profound, and it is very difficult for the disciples to learn.

At first the disciple didn't take it seriously, only thinking that most of the other people learned more slowly than me.

But later, when I exchanged my science knowledge with others, I realized that my disciple's talent in science was not even as good as mediocre people.

Even now, the disciple doesn't know whether he should continue to study the sciences hard, or continue the previous knowledge, and go to the liberal arts in the future. "

Chen Bangyan saw Qu Dajun handing over the special issue to the table, as if he wanted to ask for advice on the spot, so he couldn't help smiling wryly.

Although he had a better understanding of science knowledge in Nanjing because of his wider knowledge, his talent in this field is actually mediocre.

After thinking for a while, he said to Qu Dajun: "If you really have no talent in science, then don't try to be a dead end. If you learn the previous knowledge well, you can still take the imperial examination and serve the country as an official."

Hearing what Chen Bangyan said, he didn't intend to open the special issue at all, Qu Dajun blinked, and then said: "I understand."

···
Two days later, Chen Bangyan returned to Guangzhou City.

When we arrived at the gate of the city, we found that the atmosphere was not right—the gate of the city was actually under martial law.

So he didn't go to the city anymore, and went straight back to the barracks to find Li Dingguo, that's how he found out.Ding Kui's abuse of power, dereliction of duty, corruption and perverting the law, the evidence is conclusive, he has been taken down by people from Jinyiwei South Town Fusi and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and now his accomplices are being arrested in the city.

At the same time, the atmosphere in the Guangdong military camps outside the city was also tense, and the soldiers of the border guards in Li Dingguo's camp were even more ready to be dispatched at any time.

Seeing this, Chen Bangyan, who was speculating, couldn't help taking a breath, and asked: "Junmen, is it possible that there are Ding Kuichu's accomplices in the Guangdong army?"
