Chapter 765 Pillar Stone
Four months after Chen Mu set sail from Tianjin, a humeral pillar of the Ming Dynasty fell during the Jiajing Longqing Year.

Tan Lun, courtesy name Zili, was born in Yihuang County, Jiangxi Province in the 15th year of Zhengde, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, and was a Jinshi in the 23rd year of Jiajing.

He successively served as the head of the Ministry of Rites of Nanjing, Fang Langzhong of the Ministry of War of Nanjing, the magistrate of Taizhou, the governor of Zhejiang, the governor of Fujian, the governor of Shaanxi, the governor of Sichuan, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, the minister of the Ministry of war, the governor of Jiliao Baoding, and the crown prince Shaobao. He died in the Ministry of War.

People say that looking at Tan Lun's resume, you can know where the Ming Dynasty was fighting during the Jiajing and Longqing years, and where there was a war, Tan Lun would go there.

In 30 years, it is amazing to accumulate [-] first-level merits.

The imperial court posthumously bestowed on the crown prince Taibao, posthumously Xiangmin, the emperor ordered him to be buried, and allowed his descendants to inherit a hundred brocade clothes and guards... No, the emperor changed his mind.

"Let's enter the Xuanfu Lecture Hall with hundreds of households in brocade clothes. After graduation, I will transfer to the Guangzhou Lecture Hall to study for a year. The imperial court is at the time of employing people. What does the teacher think?"

In the deep back road of the Forbidden City, little Wanli walked upright with his hands in his hands. The beloved Siamese boy was sent to Asia without delaying the emperor to walk his pets. A big lynx not on a leash was at his side, step by step. .

His name is Xi Xiaosi.

"I think that entering the lecture hall is not as good as entering the lecture hall. It is not too late to enter the lecture hall after being admitted as a Jinshi. In time, wouldn't it be a blessing for Mrs. Tan to add another pillar to the court?"

The only one who can be called a teacher by the emperor is Zhang Juzheng.

The official robes of the middle-aged gods seem to be spotless forever, and the scarlet robes have a scent of smoke, and there are not even any wrinkles.

The little emperor stopped in his tracks and said with a smile: "Zhu Shi is exhausting and exhausting, and the brocade clothes are not very good. Why don't you go overseas and be the commander of the capital... How can there be a surname in the world that can be used by Zhu Shi?"

Zhang Juzheng originally wanted to persuade the emperor not to spend too much time on pets so that he would lose his mind, but when he heard this sentence, he insisted on choking his words, his two sons are Jinshi, whether the emperor intended or not, these words would be heard in his heart.

I simply stopped talking and continued: "Tan Gong's tomb has five steps according to His Majesty's will. On the first floor, a pair of stone tigers are Tan Gong's zodiac signs. Ma Yiyi intends to spend half his life as a soldier."

"The two armored generals on the fourth floor are intended for Tan Gong to fight in the north and the south; the two civil servants on the fifth floor, one hand is a court slip and the other is a jade belt, which means that the official worships the Great Sima to assist His Majesty. There are only one pair of stone men in this dynasty, and two pairs of Tan Gong. , This is His Majesty's honor to the veterans who have been loyal for half their lives."

Little Wanli let out a long sigh of 'hmm' from his nose, and said with emotion: "Twenty-one thousand five hundred is amazing, Mr. Tan's meritorious service is rare in the world."

"It's not uncommon. Chen, Qi, Yu, Liu, and Li all have such achievements. Only Tan Gongwen's body is rare among them."

In terms of literary quality, Zhang Juzheng said this in his heart, Tan Lun is not a feather fan and a scarf to determine the outcome. This character, just in the three years of his tenure as the magistrate of Taizhou, I don’t know how many times he personally mentioned it. There is no blood on the wrist.

The quality of Tan Lun's writing is probably the same as Li Chengliang's first-level skills, and it has a lot of moisture.

"They all have such merits?" The little emperor blinked and stopped, then turned his head and said, "Then why is it that Chen Shuai only recorded less than nine thousand merits?"

Zhang Juzheng was rarely asked, and he paused with the emperor before continuing: "Guochao's recorded merits are counted first, and Chen Shuai's first-level merits are mostly calculated by ears. The Ministry of War does not want to treat soldiers badly if he can record nine thousand." because."

It is common sense that the first-level skill is less than the number of enemies killed, and the number of enemies killed is less than the number of defeats, but the emperor may not know it.

To record [-] credits, the military department like Tan Lun will save face, and maybe kill enemies within [-] to be recorded.

As for Li Chengliang, it's probably the same situation with dredging up and down and forcing the good into evil.

It would be difficult for Chen Mu to record [-] merits.

The Ministry of War couldn't even give it face. It either smashed several carts of ears and waited for the officials of the Ministry of War to record their meritorious service, or the body was finally intact, and it turned out to be a barbarian with the wrong coat color.

Besides, they often fought overseas in the tropics. For example, in the battle of Linlai Island, the corpses of the officials who recorded meritorious service were filled with miasma.
Regarding the Battle of Linlai, Chen Lin, Lin Manjue and other generals who fought in the battle were all based on the statistics of the military supervising army, but Chen Mu wrote in the Ministry of War's archives that he got ashes of more than [-] catties. '

The little emperor didn't hold back when he heard Zhang Juzheng's words, he snickered, waved his hands and said, "It's okay, Chen Shuai's meritorious service has been extremely high, and what he did was not based on the leader's meritorious service, let's not talk about him."

"Before Mr. Tan died, he left me a letter, saying that the northern border would pay tribute from me. The court is not rest assured. It does not know when the war will resume. He advocates that these years are to accumulate strength and carry out large-scale proactive attacks, so that the Ming army will go out of the fortress. Li Ting sweeping holes."

The little emperor looked serious when he said this, but he didn't hold back in the end, and opened his arms suddenly in line with the word "Li Ting Sweeping Acupuncture", which shocked Zhang Juzheng.

"The year before last or last year, there was such a saying in the court. I was very tempted. Qi Shuai also made such a plan. Why did there suddenly be no movement this year and built a fortress in the northern border? Teacher, do you know what's going on? ?”

Zhang Juzheng knew it too well.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Mr. Tan has always had the intention of going north to attack beyond the Great Wall. It's because I don't want to attack. It's not because I don't have the ambition to completely wipe out the border troubles. The Northern Expedition is powerless within four years."

Four years?

Little Wanli was very sensitive to this time, and asked, "Can we attack after the end of the first five-year plan?"

The first five-year plan?
With Tianjin as the center, encourage the popularization of industries to expand production capacity to Zhili in the north and south?

Zhang Juzheng, who was severely disturbed by Duoqing last year, almost forgot about it!

"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with the five-year plan. No one can use it. Qi Shuai is the first to use the army. However, Qi Shuai is a southern general, and all the elite soldiers under his command are Zhejiang soldiers. Only by strict regulations can he achieve today's achievements. "

"For a long time, the northern soldiers could not be restrained. Qi Shuai wanted to recruit Zhejiang soldiers for a long time, but he was not satisfied. Last year, he proposed to send troops to the north. Qi Shuai planned to transfer another [-] Zhejiang soldiers before they could leave the fortress... Now the northern and southern soldiers are very incompatible. , is quite inappropriate."

What Zhang Juzheng is most afraid of is accidents, the logistics of the army going out of the fortress, and now the imperial court has multiple production areas, and the rice grain transported from Beijing can fill Taicang, and it can be afforded by accumulating for a few years to go north.

However, no matter whether the soldiers from the north and the south go out together, other accidents are likely to happen, such as refusing to save them, or revealing the military situation. After several years of harvest, the business was destroyed.

"Jing Haibo can train the northern and southern soldiers together in Beiyang, but Qi Shuai can't?" The little emperor asked with wide eyes, "Why?"

"Your Majesty, Beiyang has trained more than 20 troops in the past two years. Nanyang has paid Beiyang more than [-] taels of silver, food, and military expenses, and nearly [-] shi of rice. What about the Northern Banner Army's payment to Jizhen?"

"Then the teacher said four years?"

Zhang Juzheng said: "The Beiyang army, regardless of Jizhen soldiers or Beiyang soldiers, can only go on an expedition if one goes out of the fortress and the other stays on the nine sides to respond."
