New Empire at the End of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 25



Liu Fuqi\'s face changed and exclaimed, "how could such a thing happen."

Liu preached: "at first, I thought I drank too much, but then I remembered that I didn\'t have any impression, didn\'t drink, and hanged for a woman. It\'s ridiculous. I\'m not a man who hasn\'t seen a woman."

Liu Fuqi looked gloomy and said, "do you doubt who did it?"

Liu Bu said, "I don\'t dare to talk nonsense without evidence. Uncle, I didn\'t even tell my father about it. I just told you."

Liu Fuqi said, "well, don\'t tell anyone about this. I can assure you that I will find out the truth and give you an explanation. I don\'t believe it. When the old slave is not in Linqing, the sky will turn upside down. How does Xu Jianqiang manage the family? Does he still want to do it? Get out if he doesn\'t want to do it?"

Liu Bu said, "it was because I found this that I discussed with my father and simply went back to the countryside, because there, I don\'t know who is good and who is bad?"

Liu Fuqi said, "that\'s right. You\'re absolutely safe here. I can assure you that."

Liu Bu said: "I\'m also investigating this matter. There will be a result in the end. It\'s impossible to calculate it like this, but it\'s urgent. We need to train an army to play a role at the critical time. The imperial court has ordered Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, to move his column to the anti Cao in the Qing Dynasty. He has always been against his father. After he comes, my father\'s life will be more sad."

Liu Fuqi said, "Liu Zeqing is just a constable in Caozhou. He became an official by taking the back door of Hou. Now he doesn\'t even recognize his family."

Liu Bu said, "who else will recognize this these days? They all recognize money rather than people."

Liu Fuqi said, "well, young master, you don\'t have to worry about these things. If you concentrate on training the soldiers, the old slave will solve the problem in Linqing, and it won\'t be so. Even if it is, the old slave will find out."

Liu Bu recognized Liu Fuqi and housekeeper Liu\'s personality through his observation in recent days, so he dared to tell him about it. Of course, he was just skeptical, and the more he thought about it, the more strange it was that he had no impression of it, and he didn\'t drink any wine that day. How could it be so vague? It was strange. He even thought about it himself.

He was also a little frightened at the thought of the unfathomable water in the backyard of these rich people\'s homes. He was wondering who had such a big feud with me and wanted to kill me. If he hadn\'t found it in time, he would have died.

Liu Bu kept this matter in mind. He didn\'t dare to tell others. He had been thinking silently. Now he jumped out of Linqing\'s old house and returned to his hometown. Moreover, under the protection of the army, he felt confident and it was time to turn over the old accounts.

However, in his impression, he seems to have no enemies or offended anyone. His reputation in the house is also quite good. Young masters of other large families will mess with servant girls and maids in the backyard, but he never does so. Although he is a naughty boy, he has been messing around outside all the time. Moreover, he has good reputation and treats people kindly, Everyone commented on him very well and didn\'t offend anyone at home.

That\'s strange, isn\'t it? He decided to let the old housekeeper do these things and let him check them. Now he is only here to practice well.

At present, the first element of military training is to have money and food. Without money and food, who is willing to listen to you, who will work for you and who will work for you.

The Ming Dynasty, a tough Dynasty with nearly 300 years of state power, "the son of heaven guards the gate of the country and the king dies the country".

From its establishment to now, it has been invaded and disturbed by foreigners for most of the time. The military household system implemented in the early Ming Dynasty has allowed the border to be peaceful for a long time. However, with the development of the late Ming society, military households gradually reduced to the private property of officers. At the time of emperor Jiajing, a large number of military households fled, resulting in the survival of the Wei system of the Ming Dynasty.

In other words, the household servant system did not appear in the Ming Dynasty. Almost all the generals of most Dynasties will have household servants to guard the house and act as bodyguards. However, as the backbone of the attack, they should belong to this dynasty. With the failure of the military household system in this dynasty, in order to supplement the strength of the Ming army, the recruitment system was implemented to train an army similar to professional soldiers.

For example, Qi Jiajun and Yu Jiajun, who killed Japanese pirates in the southeast coast and dared not commit them again, but it is well known that the corruption of the imperial court is too serious. Because the food and salaries are embezzled by greedy civil officials, it is useless for the military general to be afraid of death. Therefore, the private armed forces under the household system began to embark on the stage of history. At the beginning, they made great achievements for the Ming Dynasty, but finally became one of the last straw to crush the Ming Dynasty.

Due to the corruption in the late Ming Dynasty, the imperial court system led to a sharp decline in the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. At this time, the servants mastered by the Ming generals began to show their edge. At the beginning, the army composed of these family members made good achievements in fighting Japanese pirates in the southeast coast and foreign enemies in Eastern Liaoning. In addition, because it is a private team of generals, the number is small, but the combat effectiveness is better than that of the imperial army. At one time, the Li family in Liaodong had nearly 9000 elite cavalry soldiers. They pressed JianNu on the ground to fight. And Guan Ning\'s iron cavalry, which shocked Liaodong, also made JianNu very afraid.

Although the army composed of family members has no doubt about its combat effectiveness and excellent equipment, it belongs to private armed forces after all. Most of the time, it is loyal to its master rather than the country with the pay of the imperial court. When the country is in danger, it cannot be used by the country and is not controlled by the imperial court. People with ulterior motives take the opportunity to form private armed forces and form armed separatist forces. When the imperial court wants to use it, the imperial court can\'t adjust it.

These things that didn\'t work well for the imperial court were very good for Liu bu.

What he was most worried about was that the army he had trained with a lot of money and food was transferred away by the imperial court. It was a waste of time and hard work.

But these private servants are different. They don\'t have the imperial court system. They take the Liu family\'s money and eat the Liu family\'s food. They won\'t listen to the imperial court\'s orders at all, nor are they within the imperial court system. The imperial court can\'t adjust them. They will only be loyal to their master and the Liu family.

This is simply something tailored for their rich, powerful and ambitious family.

However, the families of the high-ranking nobles of the Ming Dynasty have adhered to a habit of the Ming Dynasty, that is, valuing literature over martial arts. They don\'t regard military generals as a thing. They directly regard them as slaves and maidservants. They can\'t directly train and organize the army by themselves, which is very cheap in their eyes.

But Liu Bu doesn\'t think so. As long as the troops succeed, they can protect themselves.

The Tibetan military Valley is between the Liu family\'s mansion and the Fushan office. The three places form a triangular symbol. Moreover, the Tibetan military Valley is a little remote. If it\'s not local, people outside don\'t know. It\'s a private place where the Liu family bought it at a high price. When they decided to garrison here, Liu Zhongyong began to deploy troops and set up sentries.

The hunters who usually hunt firewood on the mountain are expelled, and there are spies and hidden outposts everywhere nearby. They can\'t get close to here at all. If they get close, they will also be known by the sentry to move quickly and won\'t be noticed by people outside.

This is the effect Liu Bu wants. That is, if it is checked from above, he can take the guards back.

If the following people find it strange that there is an army stationed here, they can also use the guards to prevaricate and say that this is a regular army, and neither side can find out their specific origin.

They are neither officers nor bandits, but an armed force loyal to the Liu family.

When Liu Bu worked in the health office, he went on duty every morning and came back at night, so that he could stay in the mansion, and then on-line and off-line at two o\'clock.

Since the establishment of the Tibetan army Valley, he no longer lived in the Liu family\'s mansion, but directly lived in the Tibetan army Valley, followed Liu Zhongyong and them, watched them recruit soldiers, trained soldiers, and then ate and lived with them.

If it weren\'t for someone\'s prompt, I don\'t know that young master Liu of the Tang Liu family is actually training together, eating together, bragging and farting together in ordinary soldiers.

Liu Bu\'s physical quality is very poor. Emptiness childe No. 2, he can\'t run 10km at one go and then do all kinds of military actions, but he can follow the training. Others know that this Qianhu adult is watching, and then redouble his efforts during the training.

The training of the army is hard and extremely physical, but the food, accommodation and food are very good, which makes many people unwilling to leave after breaking their legs.

A man named Yang Shun from the local guard station also joined the housekeeper, and Mao Shengli also joined. They both know each other at ordinary times. They said privately: "I haven\'t eaten such good food since I was so old. I don\'t have such a way to eat even in the family of hundreds of masters. Adults don\'t feed us as soldiers, but as ancestors. Now I won\'t leave even if I break my legs. Anyway, I have to die in the army."

Mao Shengli Road: "Yes, there\'s so much more, not only money. There\'s also such good food. Look at this dress, the brand-new mandarin duck and rice ball. The Liu family actually distributed two sets at a time. You should understand that we only distributed one set in the guard house in the past, and they were half old. Now adults directly distributed it, and these salaries were distributed in advance. Is there such a reason in the world? Not only does it not ring, it\'s also sent in advance. Adults love soldiers like children. It\'s worth being an adult\'s soldier all their life. "
