Chapter 631 Functions
Liu Wenbing didn't pay any attention to the red lady anymore and began to deal with the matter.
At this point, the matter is already very clear. These Xiuning incidents are not at all that the people can't survive and raise righteousness, but that Cheng Qiyan and other bandits took advantage of the Praetorian Guards to enter the Huizhou Mansion to gather people to make trouble and fish in troubled waters, and these people led by them have no good people at all.
Of course, there were many people who followed them because of Juntian, but they were blindly obedient.
Cheng Qiyan and others calculated very well, at first they raided the home of Xiuning merchants in the name of attaching to the Praetorian Guard, and then took refuge in the Praetorian Guard with the entire Xiuning in order to seek wealth. However, they took the initiative to go out of the city to greet them, but Liu Wenbing took the opportunity to catch them all, and none of the main leaders escaped.
Liu Wenbing did not rush into the city, but held a mass meeting in the wilderness outside the city gate.
It took half an hour to build a high platform outside the city, and Cheng Qiyan, Cheng Laosan, Gao Yuan and others were all escorted to the high platform for trial. And in this half hour, the people inside and outside the city flocked one after another, and the number of people gathered exceeded 1,000.
Liu Wenbing interrogated again in public on the high platform, and announced the crimes of Cheng Qiyan and others to the entire people of Xiuning.
"Cheng Qiyan and others, in the name of the Praetorian Guard, gathered crowds to make trouble, and in the name of Juntian, plundered local good homes, murdered, raped and robbed, and committed numerous crimes.
It is a national policy formulated by His Majesty today, so that the cultivators may have their land, and that all the people may have something to eat. The shores of the land are all the king's land, and the entire land of the Ming Dynasty belongs to His Majesty, only His Majesty has the right to send the land per person, and anyone else who makes trouble in the name of the land is a crime.
By His Majesty's holy decree, the official came to deal with the matter, and decided to kill only the chief evil, and that the coerced followers should not be held guilty as long as they handed over the looted money. As for the gentry's fields, the government sent people to re-measure and equalize the fields. ”
With Liu Wenbing's words, many people present cheered.
Among the onlookers, there were many people who participated in the troublemaking or their families, and the reason why they followed Cheng Qiyan and others to make trouble in the first place was naturally Juntian. And Jin Yiwei couldn't help but say that the act of arresting Cheng Qiyan and other leaders made these people who had participated in it frightened, for fear that they would also be arrested and end up with the same fate as Cheng Qiyan.
And now, finally the dust has settled, as long as there is no killing in the process, they will not be held accountable, and they are finally relieved. Even though they have to return what they have robbed, what is the value of some of their possessions compared to their lives?
After some disposal, it was regarded as beheading Cheng Qiyan, Cheng Laosan, Gao Yuan and others, and the matter was over. The next step would be to recover the money that had been robbed of the gentry, and some of the money would be returned to the surviving gentry's families, and most of it would be used for military expenses. And those paper-making workshops will still be handed over to the families of the gentry such as Li Weisheng, and these gentry will still run them.
At one time, Zhu Youzhen also thought about nationalizing the workshop business of these gentry and establishing state-owned enterprises, but after thinking about it, he gave up, he did not have so many business talents in his hands, and he did not have so much energy. Moreover, nationalization is certainly not as good as the operation of these gentry, as long as these gentry pay commercial taxes, there is still no need to do much.
After dealing with the matter, Liu Wenbing finally had time to deal with the contradiction between the Red Lady and Li Dingguo.
"I was wrong the previous time, I shouldn't be angry with General Li indiscriminately, and I asked General Li to forgive me." The red lady generously admitted her mistake to Li Dingguo.
Li Dingguo was a little at a loss and said: "No, it doesn't matter, it's all your own people." ”
In the final analysis, Li Dingguo is still a teenager, and he can't stand a beautiful girl apologizing to herself, and the anger accumulated in her heart has long since disappeared.
"General Hong, you are too wrong this time, not to mention whether the matter is right or wrong, as a subordinate, not only did you not listen to the orders of the main general, but you actually wanted to fight with the main general, if it weren't for General Li to take care of the overall situation, you would definitely make a mess." Liu Wenbing didn't plan to let go of the red lady like this, and stared at the red lady and said seriously.
"I was wrong, I thought General Li was going to do something to the people, and I didn't know that those were not ordinary people...... "The red lady's face turned pale and she quickly explained.
"What this official is talking about is not the merits of this matter, but your attitude!" Liu Wenbing directly interrupted the red lady's words, "Since you have joined the Praetorian Guard, you should obey military discipline, and you should not have any questions about military orders." This kind of behavior of yours has seriously violated military discipline! Not only you, but also your men, who are also members of the Praetorian Guard, have violated military orders with you! ”
The red lady's face turned even paler: "Lord Liu, I am willing to accept any punishment, but Li Quan and they are all my former subordinates, and they are used to listening to my orders, so they are not to blame for this matter, and I will bear any charges." ”
"Lord Liu is angry, after all, General Hong, they haven't been in the Praetorian Guard for a long time, and they don't know much about our military discipline, so please deal with it lightly." Li Dingguo hurriedly pleaded. If it is really called, according to military law, the red lady will be executed, and Li Quan and the others who followed her will not end well. But Li Dingguo didn't want that. During this period of fighting, Li Dingguo also knew something about the Red Lady and her subordinates, and knew that this was a group of simple-minded people, no different from other officers and soldiers in the Praetorian Guard.
"Before this official came, His Majesty also explained that General Hong took the initiative to lead his troops to join the imperial court, which can be regarded as a great achievement, and he did not understand the military discipline of the Praetorian Guard, if he did not make an irreparable mistake, he could be dealt with lightly." Liu Wenbing's tone softened.
"Thank you, thank you, your majesty." The red lady said excitedly. Although she was not afraid of death, it was not worth it to be executed like this. As for leading his troops to escape punishment, he never thought about it. A good man does things by herself, and she doesn't want to affect her brothers because of her behavior.
"But General Hong, according to your current situation, it is no longer suitable to lead troops." Liu Wenbing continued.
The red lady's expression was a little gloomy: "I know, I will hand over the military power." But what about my subordinates? ”
Most of the cavalry under the Red Lady are the old brothers who followed her here in Ruyang Mansion, and she will not do it if she is not an official, but she is worried about her former subordinates.
"Your subordinate generals don't worry, they won't be punished in any way. Instead, it will be completely integrated into the Praetorian Guard system, and from then on become a member of the Praetorian Guard. Liu Wenbing smiled.
The prestige of the Red Lady in this cavalry is too high, and most of the officers in the army are her former brothers, and after she leaves, she can begin to reorganize this cavalry and completely integrate it into the Praetorian Guard.
Seeing that her brothers would not be pursued because of themselves, the red lady finally put her mind at ease. As for her own future, she doesn't care about it, the world is so big, she can always find a way to live, it's a big deal to build another sales team and run the rivers and lakes again.
"General Hong, Your Majesty has just held an official examination in Nanjing City, and recruited more than 1,000 officials, including dozens of female officials, Your Majesty said, after you return to Nanjing, you can train with these newly recruited female officials, and after the training, they will be re-awarded." As if he had seen through what the red lady was thinking, Liu Wenbing said suddenly.
"Huh?" The red lady was stunned, "Female officer? Can I also be an official? ”
is different from leading soldiers to fight, she is really unprepared for being an official and a red lady, she has not read any books, and she doesn't know a few words, how can she be an official?
"Your Majesty said that in the future Ming Dynasty, everyone will be equal, and naturally men and women will be equal, men can be officials, and women can naturally do too. However, there are not too many official positions suitable for women at present, mainly as female attendants in the palace. Liu Wenbing explained.
"But, I, I don't know anything......" the red lady stammered, very timid in her heart.
"You can't learn, don't worry, there's nothing easier in this world than being an official." Liu Wenbing said with a smile.
Hurriedly said goodbye to his subordinates, and under the reluctant gaze of Li Quan and other subordinates, the red lady rode on a horse and embarked on the road back to Nanjing, and returned to Nanjing City a few days later.
After reporting to the military headquarters and relieving them of their positions in the army, the military department sent people to lead them to participate in the ongoing training for female officers.
The training of female officers was carried out in the Imperial Palace, which had not yet been completely renovated, and in more than two months, the Imperial Palace renovated several palaces, and the training of female officers was carried out in one of the side halls that had already been repaired.
The number of participants was about 40 people, all of whom were female officials in the new examinations, including the daughters of poor scholars, the daughters of merchants, and even many women in the Qinglou. After all, Daming's current concept is that it is still unacceptable for women to be officials, and the real big families will not let their daughters participate in any official examinations. On the contrary, those who are scholars from small families, as well as those who are businessmen, the family is slightly wealthier, and the woman has the opportunity to study from an early age, thinking about sending her daughter to the palace, if she can be favored by the emperor, the whole family will soar. And then there are many Qinglou women, who have been taught calligraphy and painting since childhood, and their knowledge is the highest. Since the announcement of the abolition of the untouchable registration, they have also become ordinary household registrations, and their status is the same as that of other people. Many Qinglou women don't want to continue to laugh for a living, but they are not afraid to show up, after hearing that the female official Liu Ru next to the emperor is also from the Qinglou, many Qinglou women signed up for the official examination.
The red lady who had just joined felt a little out of place, because she found that she couldn't understand what the gentleman who taught them was saying, and she couldn't understand the teaching materials she was given, and she didn't recognize too many words on it.
And these women around her are all soft and beautiful, and they are all literate and hyphenated, and then look at the calluses in the palms of their hands, the red lady is very inferior.
"Sister Hong learns slowly, anyway, the most important thing here is to learn some rules." A female official named Zhao Yan comforted. I heard that the Red Lady was born as a female general (female bandit), most of the female officials respected the Red Lady, but Zhao Yan had a good attitude towards the Red Lady and often pointed out the Red Lady's knowledge.
"I'm so stupid that I can't hold a pen in my hand when I'm used to holding a knife." The red lady laughed at herself.
"Hee-hee, isn't it harder to read than to kill?" Zhao Yan said with a smile.
"Of course, it's much easier to kill people, you only need to swing a knife on a horse, and you can cut off the head......" The red lady talked about the war in a colorful voice, and Zhao Yan covered her mouth and exclaimed, and the other female officials looked sideways.
In short, the red lady began a very hard study career, and she was very depressed, and the days of not understanding anything and not reading anything were too bad, and she often fell asleep on the table while listening to the class. The teacher who taught was very helpless, at first he would let others wake her up, and then he saw that it was really rotten wood and difficult to carve, so he suggested to the above to drive the red lady away, but it was unsuccessful, and finally he was able to give up the treatment and let the red lady fall asleep.
Sleep in class, after class, the red lady will be in the palace around, it only took a few days to get familiar with the entire palace, and the craftsmen and officials who repair the palace talk, often stand on the palace wall to look out, look at the outside of the city wall, as well as the palace city tower arrow tower, thinking about if you bring troops to attack, how many troops can be used to break through such a strong city.
Through conversations with other female officials, the red lady learned a little and knew that she would be left in the palace as female officials after her training. I don't want to do it for the living red lady who waits for people, even if it's waiting for the emperor. So if you want to do it, you will be the general responsible for guarding the palace, this is the plan that the red lady made for herself.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was May, and the weather was already very hot, even in the tall palace, it still felt very hot. At this moment, the main palace has been almost repaired, and it is heard that the emperor will soon move into the palace. Because it was too hot, the red lady rarely turned around, and stayed in the temple every day to study.
With the help of Zhao Yan and the gentlemen, in a few months, the red lady knew four or five hundred words, and she was already able to read some simple articles, which made her interested in learning greatly. And there is another reason why the red lady can concentrate on studying, that is, once Emperor Zhu Youzhen came to the palace and specially summoned her, telling her that if she has no knowledge, she can't lead the army, because the Praetorian Guard is different from other armies, there are too many rules and regulations, and the main general must be proficient in writing and be able to understand all kinds of documents. Zhu Youzhen promised the red lady that as long as she could know a thousand words, she would be the female official in charge of the palace guards.
However, until the end of the training, the red lady failed to learn a thousand words. So when these female officials were summoned to talk about the distribution, the red lady was very worried.
The newly renovated palace needs too many people, twenty-four eunuchs, many palaces, and too many attendants, Zhu Youzhen decided that in the future, he will gradually eliminate the profession of eunuchs in the palace, and turn female officials to be responsible for palace affairs. And these first batch of female officials were assigned to various departments in the palace. Women are attentive and often more suitable than eunuchs.
In the anxious waiting, the red lady finally knew about her errand, and she was appointed as the palace guard officer, responsible for the security of the Qianqing Palace. In other words, Zhu Youzhen handed over his safety in the palace to the red lady.
