In the fourth month of Chen Mu's voyage from Tianjin, the humerus pillar stone of the Ming Dynasty fell in the year of Jiajing Longqing.

Tan Lun, whose name is Zili, was born in Yihuang County, Jiangxi Province in the fifteenth year of Zhengde of Wuzong in the Ming Dynasty, and was a Jinshi in the twenty-third year of Jiajing.

He successively served as the director of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, the staff of the Nanjing Military Department, the prefect of Taizhou, the right political counselor of Zhejiang, the governor of Fujian, the governor of Shaanxi, the governor of Sichuan, the governor of Liangguang, the squire of the military department, the governor of Baoding of Jiliao, and the prince of Jiazi.

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

In the past 30 years, 21,500 first-level merits have been accumulated.

The imperial court posthumously presented the crown prince Taibao, Xiangmin, and the emperor ordered the funeral, and allowed his descendants to inherit the brocade clothes and guards...... No, the emperor changed his mind.

"Let's enter the Xuanfu Lecture Hall with a hundred households in brocade clothes, and then transfer to Guangzhou to lecture on martial arts for a year after graduation, the imperial court is at the time of employing people, what does the teacher think?"

In the deep road of the Forbidden City, Xiao Wanli walked uprightly with his hands in hand, and his beloved Siamese little servant was sent to Asia without delaying the emperor to walk his pet, and he followed a big lynx without a leash on his side, and followed suit.

It's called Xi Xiaowu.

"The minister thinks that it is better to enter the lecture martial arts hall than to enter the lecture academy, and it is not too late to enter the lecture martial arts hall after being admitted to the Jinshi background, and in time, isn't it fortunate that the Tan family will add another pillar to the imperial court?"

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

God's middle-aged official robe seems to be spotless forever, and the crimson robe has a smoked scent, and there are no wrinkles.

The little emperor stopped and said with a smile: "The pillar stone is laborious and laborious, and the brocade clothes are not very good, so it is better to go overseas to be the commander of the capital...... How can there be a surname in the world that can be a pillar from generation to generation? ”

Zhang Juzheng wanted to persuade the emperor not to put too much effort into pets to the point of losing his mind as a plaything, but when he heard this, he stalked the words in his throat, his two sons are Jinshi, whether the emperor intends or not, he will listen to his heart.

simply didn't go on, and continued: "Tan Gong's tomb, according to His Majesty's will, Shinto has five steps, the first layer of a pair of stone tigers is Tan Gong's zodiac, the second layer of stone sheep and a pair of finger male boys, and the third layer of stone horses and a pair of horses are intended to be half-born horses. ”

"The four layers of two armored generals are intended to be fought in the south and the north by Tan Gong; The five floors of two civil officials, one hand to Jane and the other hand to the jade belt, refers to its official worship of the Great Sima to assist His Majesty, the dynasty stone people are only one pair, Tan Gong two pairs, this is His Majesty's loyalty to the old minister of half a life. ”

Xiao Wanli let out a long 'um' sound from his nose and sighed: "Twenty-one thousand five hundred is strange, Tan Gong's merits are rare in the world." ”

"It's not uncommon, Chen, Qi, Yu, Liu, and Li all have such merits, and this person is only rare if he has the body of Tan Gongwen."

Literary quality, in fact, Zhang Juzheng said this in his heart, Tan Lun is not a lupine scarf to determine the victory or defeat, I don't know how many times I personally mentioned going into battle in the three years I was in office as the prefect of Taizhou.

Tan Lun's literary quality, I'm afraid that it is the same as Li Chengliang's first-level skill, and there is a lot of water.

"All of them?" The little emperor blinked and paused, turned his head and said, "Then why is Chen Shuai only recording less than nine thousand?" ”

Zhang Juzheng was rarely asked, and paused with the emperor before he continued: "The national dynasty records merit by the first, and Chen Shuai's first-level merit is mostly converted by ear, and being able to record 9,000 is already the reason why the military department is unwilling to treat the soldiers badly. ”

It is common sense that the number of first-level merits 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.

If you want to record 10,000 merits, a military department like Tan Lun will save face, and you may be able to record the enemy within 20,000.

As for Li Chengliang, dredging up and down plus forcing the good to be evil is probably the same situation.

If Chen Mu wants to record 10,000 merits, it will be difficult.

The Ministry of War couldn't give face if it wanted to, either it was shattered and sent several cars of ears to the officials of the Ministry of War to record their merits, or the body was finally intact, and the result was that the person with the wrong coat color was Yiren.

In addition, they often fight in the overseas tropics, such as the battle of Linlai Island, the corpse of the recorder will be flooded with miasma before it passes, and if it is put down, it will cause a plague on the island, and finally let the family call the ashes...... Does that sound like a word?

Regarding the battle of Lin Lai, Chen Luan, Lin Manjue and other generals who fought were counted by the army supervisors, but Chen Mu wrote in the military department's record archive that 'more than 100,000 catties of ashes will be obtained.' ’

The little emperor didn't hold back when he heard Zhang Juzheng's words, snickered, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, Chen Shuaigong has reached the extreme, and what he did didn't rely on the first-level meritorious service, let alone him." ”

"Before his death, Duke Tan left a letter to me, saying that the northern Xinjiang promised to pay tribute, and the imperial court was not at ease, and I don't know when the soldiers would rise again, advocating that these years are to accumulate strength, do a large-scale initiative, and ask the Ming army to go out of the plough court and sweep the holes."

The little emperor looked serious when he said this, but in the end he didn't hold back, and with the words 'plough court sweeping acupoints', he suddenly opened his arms, which startled Zhang Juzheng.

"The year before last or last year, there was such a saying in the DPRK and China, I was very tempted, Qi Shuai also made this kind of plan, why did he suddenly stop moving this year, and build a fortress in northern Xinjiang, teacher, do you know what's going on?"

Zhang Juzheng knows too well.

"Back to Your Majesty, Tan Gong has always had the intention of attacking the north outside the fortress, and the minister is unwilling to attack, if it is not that the minister does not have the ambition to completely sweep away the border troubles, he is really powerless in the northern expedition within four years."

Four years?

Xiao Wanli was very sensitive to this time and asked, "Can I attack only after the end of the first five-year plan?" ”

The first five-year plan?

With Tianjin as the center, encourage the popularization of industry and expand production capacity directly under the north and south?

Zhang Juzheng, who was violently disturbed by the seizure last year, almost forgot about this thing!

"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with the five-year plan, no one is available, Qi Shuai is the first to use the army, but Qi Shuai is a southern general, and the elite under his command are all Zhejiang soldiers, and his strict discipline is the only way to have today's work."

"For a long time, the northern soldiers could not be restrained, Qi Shuai wanted to recruit Zhejiang soldiers for a long time and was unsatisfactory, and he proposed to use troops to the north last year, and Qi Shuai could transfer another 30,000 Zhejiang soldiers before he could get out of the fortress...... The northern and southern soldiers are now extremely incompatible, and it is very inappropriate to transfer the southern troops again. ”

Zhang Juzheng is most afraid of accidents, the logistics of the army out of the fortress, now the imperial court has a number of production areas, Beijing rice grain can fill Taicang, a few years of accumulation of northern expedition can still afford.

However, whether the northern and southern soldiers go out of the fortress together or not, it is very likely that other accidents will occur, such as seeing death and not saving, for example, revealing military information, once the army is defeated, the balance between the north and south of the Great Wall will be broken, and then the imperial court may be ruined for several years.

"Jing Haibo can train the northern and southern soldiers in Beiyang, but Qi Shuai can't?" The little emperor's eyes widened and asked, "Why is this?" ”

"Your Majesty, in the past two years, Beiyang has trained more than 16,000 soldiers, and Nanyang has paid more than 700,000 taels of silver, food, and weapons to Beiyang, and nearly 200,000 stones of rice.

"What did the teacher say about four years?"

Zhang Juzheng said: "The Beiyang Army, whether it is the Jizhen soldiers or the Beiyang soldiers, one is out of the blockade, and one stays on the nine sides to respond, before the expedition." ”
