Chapter 1441 Rewards and punishments are given together, and what you want is achieved

Hu Zongxian listened to the words of Master Zhang, the captain of the colonel, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. He couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, sneered, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Haha, Master Zhang, did you raise the Japanese pirates?" ?! You said that if the Japanese pirates don't come to answer the sky, they won't come to answer the sky?!

"What?! I raised Japanese pirates?!" Master Zhang, the owner of the colonel, was in a cold sweat, shaking his head as if he was about to take off. Negative Sanlian blurted out, "How is that possible!" "I didn't!" "Don't talk nonsense!"

Hu Zongxian's face remained unchanged, without saying a word, he just quietly looked at the captain of the colonel, Master Zhang.

Master Zhang, the captain of the colonel, seemed to realize that he was a little too excited just now, coughed, and argued softly, "Ahem, Master Hu was joking, the hat of 'Yangwa' is too big, and my head is too small, so I can't wear it." Stop! This official is full of loyalty to the king, patriotism and people, how can I do such an inhuman thing!"

"Since that's the case, how can Mr. Zhang ensure that Japanese pirates will not attack and harass Ying Tiancheng?!" Hu Zongxian asked leisurely.

The colonel's host general looked embarrassed, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice, unable to make a complete sound.

"Master Zhang, the Japanese plague is becoming more and more serious, especially Wang Zhi, Xu Hai and his ilk are raging in the southeast, burning, killing and looting all kinds of crimes, and the people are suffering unspeakably. Yingtian is in the southeast, such as the pillar of the sky. Yingtian can't make any mistakes, otherwise The flames of the pirates and thieves are getting hotter, the hearts of the people are getting colder, and the court has no face!" Hu Zongxian said with a serious face, "This consequence is beyond what you and I can afford!"

"What Master Hu said is true."

Master Zhang nodded his face, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart. You are making alarmist talk, how could Ying Tian go on a business trip.

"Master Zhang, what I said next is a little blunt. You don't need to rush to defend yourself. I'm not an unreasonable person. I won't make any records of today's inspections and what I said today, let alone report them, but..." Speaking of this, Hu Zongxian paused, looked at the captain of the colonel with burning eyes, and said with a serious face, "But Mr. Zhang wants to check for deficiencies and make up for them, and actively rectify them. Next time I come to your army to inspect, I won't be so easy to talk about." , When the time comes, Ding is Dingmao! Today I came to your army to check on the spot, and found that the actual number of soldiers in your army compared with the number reported in the books, there is a serious shortage of soldiers, and the deficit of soldiers is as much as 80%. Most of them are the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, the military discipline is loose and disorderly, the soldiers are insufficiently trained, the armor and equipment are embarrassing, and the bare hands are the second most important! Such an army, the combat power is worrying, such an army is not enough to shoulder the responsibility of guarding Yingtian !"

"Master Hu, you've exaggerated!" The head of the colonel, Mr. Zhang, felt that Hu Zongxian was exaggerating.

Empty pay or something, this is the default unspoken rule of the entire Ming Dynasty, you said that the military camp does not eat empty pay? !

So what if the Japanese plague is serious? ! The Japanese pirates are all raging in the countryside and counties, and they have never harassed a few in the prefectures, so how dare they come to harass Yingtian City? ! With a hundred thousand courage from the Japanese pirates, the Japanese pirates would not dare to fight against the world. Yingtian is the second largest city in our Ming Dynasty. Tian's military camps are not limited to just one battalion of the University Campus, with so many military camps added up, the actual number of soldiers available is no less than 30,000. If the Japanese pirates want to move Yingtian, it is only possible if they pour the power of the Japanese country. However, is it possible for the Japanese pirates to devote their power to the Japanese country? It is impossible at all, and the Japanese country itself is still in a mess! Therefore, Ying Tian is as stable as Mount Tai.

"Exaggerated?! Hehe, Mr. Zhang, nothing is impossible in this world! People who have no foresight must have near-term worries! Mr. Zhang must keep my words in mind, and I will come back in half a month. I hope that when the time comes, your The number of soldiers is no less than 10,000, and no more than 10% are old, weak, sick, or disabled. The military appearance and discipline have greatly improved, and the armor and equipment have taken on a new look." Hu Zongxian shook his head and sneered, looking at Master Zhang with burning eyes and said.

"The number of people is no less than 10,000, and the old, weak, sick, and disabled are no more than 10 percent." Master Zhang couldn't help opening his mouth wide and frowning when he heard this, with a look of embarrassment and disapproval, every expression was resistance, "Hu My lord, you are not in charge of the family and don't know how much firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. Do you know how much money a year needs to raise a soldier?! Military pay, food, soldiers, etc., which one does not cost money. Our imperial treasury is tight every year. There are countless floods and droughts, and the military pay has been delayed. How can there be more money to support the soldiers. The soldiers in the army camp are short-lived. Send money, so what do you use to raise soldiers?"

Hu Zongxian interrupted Mr. Zhang's complaints expressionlessly, looked at Mr. Zhang with burning eyes, and said word by word: "Mr. Zhang, if your army meets the requirements, I assure you that this year's inspection will not be too difficult. The official must be judged as the first-class competent by Mr. Zhang! If you can't meet the requirements, I'm sorry, then the official will be offended. Mr. Zhang's inspection this year, the third-class service can't meet it, so it can only be rated as inferior. Impeach Mr. Zhang! This official always says what he says and does what he says. First class is still inferior, it's up to Mr. Zhang!"

"Ah?!" Master Zhang heard this, his face was like a chameleon, hesitating, struggling, and excited.

This is an investigation! A rare opportunity!

Being an official in the Ming Dynasty, there are generally two main ways for officials to be promoted or promoted. High-ranking officials are mostly appointed by Huitui, while officials below the fourth rank are mainly determined by inspection. The inspection is mainly carried out by the Ministry of Officials to inspect the "Jingcha" and the censor inspection. The inspection content is evaluated according to the "four criteria", namely: one is shou (invitation, sincerity, and fairness), two talents (elegant, Youping), three politics (youqin, youping), four years (youthful, strong, and healthy), according to the content of the four grids, evaluate the results of the inspection, of which the first grade is competent, the second grade is diligent, and the third grade is Waiting for a job, the first-class qualified people can be promoted and rewarded, and the promotion and salary increase are just around the corner. Of course, if the officials perform poorly after inspection and have inferior grades, depending on the severity of the circumstances, they may be dismissed from their posts, handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for sentencing, ordered to rest for recuperation, or demoted for transfer.

The number of people is no less than 10,000, the old, weak, sick, and disabled are no more than 10%, the military appearance and discipline have been greatly improved, and the armor and equipment have a new look. These requirements are not too difficult for others, so let's eat less money, anyway, I am not alone. , and then emphasize military discipline, strengthen and strengthen training. Gritting your teeth and working hard, you can do it!

If the requirements are met, the inspection is a first-class qualification! First-class competent, this is an achievement that is difficult to achieve even if you ask your grandpa to sue your grandma. Once you are rated as first-class competent, you can wait for a promotion, even if you are transferred back to the capital, it is not too difficult. Although this outside release is moist, it is not as good as the capital city.

Thinking of this, Mr. Zhang gritted his teeth, bowed his hands to Hu Zongxian and said: "I will do my best!"

"Master Zhang, I don't do my best, but I do it!" Hu Zongxian clasped his hands in return, emphasizing with a serious face.

Master Zhang nodded, "Definitely."

"I believe that through Mr. Zhang's hard work, your army will live up to the name of the Beijing camp, and your achievements will be just around the corner!"

Hu Zongxian was satisfied, and said with a smile.

"Borrow Mr. Hu's auspicious words." Mr. Zhang bowed his hand. In fact, he had never thought about making contributions or making a career.
