In the second year of Tianwu, the Ming Dynasty carried out a comprehensive military reform, officially linking the military rank with the rank of civilian officials, so as to achieve the goal of equality between civil and military officials

The regular army positions of the Ming Dynasty from low to top are: captain, sentry general, Bai general, battalion commander, regiment commander, brigade commander, division commander, and army commander, corresponding to the ninth to second grades.

The military marshal in Beijing generally serves as the secretary of the military department or the military department, like Xu Qingshan, who is the military department.

Most of the military commanders outside serve as the metropolitan governor of the five military capitals, or the capital protectors of the four major military protectors, such as Huang Degong's righteous son Li Yu is the metropolitan governor of the Chinese military capital government.

The military commander and above is the Minister of Military Aircraft, which is the title of Zhengyi, and the current Chief Minister of Military Aircraft is Cao Bianjiao, the Duke of Xiangguo, who also serves as the secretary of the Ministry of War.

Of course, at present, there are many nobles in the Tianwu Dynasty, and they basically have titles in the army, and the earl and above are super grades, and the rank of the official position is of little significance, mainly depending on the authority.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, this situation was very common, and during the Hongwu Dynasty, Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, also served as the prime minister of the head of the civil officials.

The officials in the center of the imperial court are basically ministers who are particularly close to the emperor, and they have the merit of following the dragon.

The officers and students of the Huangming Military Academy, stepping into the school gate is the treatment of the captain of the nine grades, and after graduation, they enter the army and are directly promoted to the general sentry officer, and the treatment of the eighth grade is the eighth grade, and the deputy post is from the eighth grade.

The teaching and training of the Huangming Military Academy is the treatment of the seven grades, and the work content is equivalent to that of an instructor, and it also serves as a political tutor, teaching advanced military concepts and correct political thoughts.

The army is the lifeblood of the imperial court, and officers who have graduated from military academies must be absolutely loyal to the imperial court! Otherwise, the court will shoot itself in the foot.

And to ensure the loyalty of officers, the teachers of those officers, must be loyal!

Therefore, the officials and teachers at all levels of the Huangming Military Academy were selected from the military at all levels by the Military Machinery Department.

They are rigid by nature and are not accommodating, and some of them are high-achieving students who graduated from the Huangming Military Academy to stay in school to teach.

Listening to his brother's patient explanation, Xu Mingwu suddenly said, "Then what's the matter with Li Shangyong?" How can this kind of sand sculpture be used as a teacher? Isn't this a discredit to the Huangming Military Academy? ”

Xu Mingde chuckled lightly and said: "Don't underestimate him, he joined the army at the age of fifteen. ”

Oh? That guy even beat Little Japan!

Xu Mingwu's hostility towards Li Shangyong was slightly eliminated.

At this time, Xu Mingde's face suddenly turned pale: "The set you play in Dongchang, beautiful is beautiful, it's not good for me!" Don't pretend to be crazy and stupid in the future, be a good person, don't embarrass our father! ”

Outsiders say that his younger brother is crazy, Xu Mingde doesn't care, on the contrary, he knows his younger brother very well, this kid is a little introverted, but he still has smart bones!

I just don't know, how this meeting is like a different person, it's really a bit abnormal.....

Xu Mingwu smiled and said, "Big brother, I'm really not suitable for the army, why don't you find a way to get me out?" ”

In his opinion, in peacetime, joining the army is the most unwise choice, a pure waste of life, it is better to rely on the knowledge of 300 years ahead of the time, to get rich and enjoy happiness, wives and concubines!

Xu Mingde smiled: "Our father finally tricked your kid in, how can he let you go again?" ”

Xu Mingwu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized a serious problem.

He pointed to his brother and said, "Last time you took the monthly exam, did you secretly manipulate my report card and get me a passing grade?" ”

Xu Mingde nodded undeniably: "Well, it's very smart!" ”

"You are cheating, using power for personal gain!"

Xu Mingwu stood up naked and said righteously: "Xu Mingde, I strongly ask you to treat the students' achievements with a realistic attitude and be honest, otherwise, you will be a teacher in vain!"

Xu Mingde was not in a hurry, and said leisurely: "Brother, it should be you who are dishonest and deceived your superiors and subordinates, you are so accused of being a brother, I'm afraid it's not kind!" ”

was told by the eldest brother, Xu Mingwu was speechless, seeing that this cow was not accommodating, he played a scoundrel and continued to accuse Xu Mingde:

"Big brother, as a teacher, how can you, as a teacher, use your power for personal gain, causing me, a last-class student with rotten wood and uncarvable, to continue to mingle in the elite academy of the empire? You are wasting the country's military resources! ”

Saying that, Xu Mingwu inserted his waist and continued: "I will call you big brother now, our brotherly relationship is still there, if you are obsessed again and again, don't blame me for coming to kill my relatives and go to the superintendent to sue you!" At that time, the future of the eldest brother is afraid that it will be unfavorable! ”

"Listen to it!" Xu Mingde didn't care, and glanced at his lower body.

"Good! You wait! ”

Xu Mingwu took a big turn, but came back in a gray way because he forgot to put on his clothes.

"Where's my pants?"

Xu Mingde pointed to the pond in front of him: "I just threw it in, you can go down and fish it yourself." ”

Xu Ming beat his chest angrily, and only plunged into the pool with a beautiful turning and diving posture.

Xu Mingde pulled out a ball of clothes from the grass beside him, and said to himself with a smile: "The kid didn't even grow his hair, and he dared to threaten to kill his relatives with righteousness!" ”

......

In this way, Xu Mingwu's life fell into endless distress, whenever he was about to skip class or slack off in training, his brother Xu Mingde always suddenly appeared.

In his spare time, the elder brother came over with wine and meat, and every time he talked about the general trend of the world.

Xu Mingwu was angry, but after all, Xu Mingde was a teacher at the military academy and his brother, so it was not good to confront him face to face, so he had to be silent and golden, and the eldest brother talked about it, and he lowered his head and drank alcohol.

Xu Mingde didn't care about Xu Mingwu's coldness, he just talked to himself, and when he talked about the rise, he sang in high spirits, chanting Xin Qiji's "Breaking the Array", expressing his desire to kill the enemy and serve the country.

Over time, the elder brother's anger infected Xu Mingwu, and he chatted with him without saying a word, taking the opportunity to learn about the various situations of the Tianwu Dynasty from the eldest brother.

Seeing that his brother had a reaction, Xu Mingde was even more excited, so Xu Mingwu hooked his shoulders and back, from the civil war to the war to destroy the Qing Dynasty, and from the Netherlands to England, from Tsarist Russia to France, from the sluggishness of the Chongzhen Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, defeated year after year, and said that the military power of the Ming Dynasty of the Tianwu Dynasty was strong and invincible!

Speaking of the intensity, Xu Mingde slapped the table and slapped him, very excited, causing Xu Mingwu to applaud a few times.

Gradually, the two really cultivated some brotherly feelings.

Actually, Xu Mingwu still recognizes Xu Mingde very much, this eldest brother is a lover of personality, and there is calmness in his straightforward personality.

The only drawback is that Xu Mingde likes to be an official too much, and always talks about Guangzong Yaozu's wife and shadow.

Xu Mingwu can also understand that the eldest brother grew up in the Chongzhen Dynasty where the world was in turmoil, and he followed his father Xu Qingshan to eat tree bark and was whipped by thieves and whips.
