After listening to Liu Pei's words, Liu Jiang immediately cheered up and said: "It's really hard to repay this credit. But it's not impossible. The guards at the health center are our official officers, so they must repay it. But if we repay it to them alone

, I'm afraid that our credit will be swallowed up completely. If we want to keep our credit, we have to make a fuss about the two county magistrates of Jiaozhou and Zhucheng."

While Liu Jiang was frothing at Qi Qitao and the others, Liu Pei took a deep look at Liu Jiang, and then said with a smile: "Oh? Then what do you think? Tell me in detail."

Liu Jiang got even more excited after hearing Liu Pei's words, and said: "First of all, we have to be sure that all the credit cannot be kept! It is lucky to be able to keep more than half of it! The remaining credit must be divided, but how?

You have to think carefully to keep most of the credit!"

Liu Pei interjected: "You guys listen carefully and think more, Liu Jiang, please continue talking!"

Liu Jiang continued: "Everyone knows what is going on in the guard station. Those who have been officials for several lifetimes have been married and sworn friends for a long time. We can't stand it! If we report it according to the normal channels, the credit will be left.

There’s nothing left! Brothers, are you right?”

Several people nodded in agreement. Wu Yizhou gritted his teeth and said: "Those idiots usually only know how to exploit military households. They can't do anything serious, but they are good at grabbing credit!"

Liu Jiang said with a smile: "That's right! So it's impossible to keep all our credit. I'm afraid we just have to give part of the credit to the county magistrates in these two places. As long as those civil servants are involved, they will naturally fight for the credit.

Let's stand together and go to the ring with the guards! In this way, we can keep most of the credit!"

Liu Pei laughed and said: "Well said! That's the truth!" Then he turned back and said to Qi Qitao and others: "Have you figured it out?"

Qi Qitao and others shook their heads to express their confusion. Liu Pei said with an expression of disbelief: "I told you that I usually ask you to read more and use your brain more, but you just don't listen! Are you blind now?"

Wu Yizhou laughed innocently and said: "The head of the family has the final say on these matters, we just need to fight with all our heart!

"

Qi Qitao and others also nodded. He was so angry that Liu Pei kicked Wu Yizhou's calf again and said: "Liu Jiang is right. If we want to keep most of our achievements, we have to involve the civil servants. But

But two county magistrates are not enough! Two county magistrates alone cannot deal with the nobles of Shandong."

Liu Jiang said in surprise: "Aren't two county magistrates enough? That one is a serious Jinshi!"

Liu Pei smiled slightly and said: "Don't be surprised, it's not enough."

There is a reason why Liu Jiang believes that the two county magistrates can suppress the Shandong military attache. In the early Ming Dynasty, there was no conflict between the civil and military affairs, and each did its own thing. But the problem came from the Tumubao Incident.

The Incident of Tumu Fort refers to the defeat of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty during Zhu Qi's northern expedition to Wala in the 14th year of the Ming Dynasty (1449). Tumu Fort is located in Huailai County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province today. Tumu Fort was located between Juyongguan and Juyongguan at that time.

The inner side of the first line of the Datong Great Wall is part of the Great Wall defense system.

In June of the 14th year of Zhengtong (1449), Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, instigated by the eunuch Wang Zhen and despite the dissuasion of his ministers, made the two-year-old prince Zhu Jianshen the crown prince, leaving his half-brother Zhu Qiyu to stay behind and lead the army himself.

Go to war.

At that time, all military and political affairs were handled by Wang Zhen. The march route changed frequently and the soldiers were exhausted. Kuang Ye, Minister of the Ministry of War, repeatedly requested to enter Juyongguan to ensure safety, but Wang Zhen refused. Moreover, the logistics supply was insufficient at the time. When the army arrived at Tumubao,

It may be that the hungry and thirsty sergeants had a small-scale mutiny, which caused chaos in the army, and the Oara army took the opportunity to attack. The Ming army rushed to the battle and was defeated. 66 important ministers, including Kuang Ye, the Minister of War, and Wang Zuo, the Minister of Household, died in the battle.

At that time, all the elites of the capital had fallen in the Tumubao, leaving less than 100,000 old and weak soldiers. Yu Qian overcame all opinions and asked King Tan to mobilize the two capitals, the Bei Cao army in Henan, the Japanese army along the coast of Shandong and Nanjing, and the Japanese troops in Jiangbei and Beijing.

The government's grain transport army rushed to help, which calmed people's hearts.

At that time, he also took Yingzong hostage and returned to the capital, asking the city defenders to open the door. Yu Qian and other ministers supported King Yin as emperor, and worshiped Yingzong Zhu Qizhen as the supreme emperor. They personally guarded the city and refused to allow Yingzong to return to the capital.

After the defeat of Tumubao, the Xungui Group lost a large number of backbones. Coupled with the impact of the defeat, for a time

It fell into a low ebb. But the civil servants headed by Yu Qian reached the top after repelling the Wala soldiers and horses!

Originally, the highest military authority of the Ming Dynasty was the Military Governor's Office of the Five Armies. During the battle to defend the city of Beijing, Yu Qian and other civilian officials overrode the Governor's Office of the Five Armies to take over the power of the army and directly mobilize troops to counterattack Oara. This seemed expedient at the time.

plan.

However, after the Beijing Defense War ended, the civilian officials did not return this right. Instead, they placed the power of mobilizing the army in the Ministry of War, completely evacuating the Fifth Army Governor's Office. At that time, the newly enthroned emperor urgently needed the support of the civilian officials, so he acquiesced.

about this.

In the eighth year of Jingtai (1457), military attache Shi Heng, civil servant Xu Youzhen, eunuch Cao Jixiang and others supported the restoration of Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, who was imprisoned in Nangong by Zhu Qiyu, which was known in history as the "Change of Seizing the Gate"! After Yingzong re-entered the throne,

The Emperor's Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. He did not take back the power of the Governor's Mansion to control the army. It was completely controlled by the civilian officials!

So for a long period of time afterwards, the civil servants began to manipulate the nobles and military generals for profit, just like the former Song Dynasty. The noble group lost a large number of backbones and was unable to speak out, so the status of military personnel dropped again and again! Military morale dropped.

Morale is completely lost and we are left at the mercy of civilian officials! Even if there is a war at home or abroad, civilian officials must be sent to take command.

This situation became more and more serious as time went by. So much so that by the late Ming Dynasty, a military attaché of the fifth rank would pay homage to a county magistrate of the seventh rank. Even a hero like Qi Jiguang wrote to Zhang Juzheng

Both the letter and the signature must be written with the words "the servant's lackey"! This shows the low status of warriors at that time.

But this does not mean that the honorable warriors are unable to fight back. Those nobles are rooted in the military in their own provinces, and they continue to marry each other and are entrenched in the military. If they really unite,

The power is also very powerful. Therefore, although the civil servants suppressed the noble warriors, they did not dare to go too far.

Like Liu Pei's report of merit this time. If only two county magistrates were involved, they would never be able to resist these nobles whose eyes were red! After all, this was a great achievement of breaking an army and killing generals. How could they let it go?
