Chapter 7 Military
Su Ze looked at Ninth Auntie and couldn't help but ask: "Wait a minute, everyone knows that I am a child of Mazu, how can I be a temple blessing in the temple of the third master?" Ninth Auntie smiled
slightly He smiled and said:
"Mazu is not an obscene worshiper, and some people in Changning Guard believe in it. Everyone asks the temple to pray for peace of mind before going to sea. As long as it is effective, whether it is the blessing from the Third Master's Empress or the Empress Mazu, No one cares about them."
Ninth Aunt Untied the rope that bound Su Ze's hands, looked at Su Ze and said, "If you want to worship Mazu, it's not impossible to erect a statue of Mazu in the side hall. ."
Su Ze was a little speechless, and his attitude towards faith was indeed very Chinese.
However, Aunt Ninth's attitude further confirmed Su Ze's conclusion after researching historical data. In these health centers on the southeast coast, family temples were very important clan facilities, not just simple temples.
From the sallow and skinny people in the guard station to the dilapidated family temple, we can all see the dilapidation and decline of Changning Guard.
It's no wonder that Aunt Ninth wants someone of unknown origin to serve as the temple's blessing. There is really no one available in the entire Changning Guard.
Aunt Ninth said:
"A hundred households died in the battle, and a lot of household registrations were vacant."
"The general secretary of Beiwa has not come down to replace the soldiers. You only need to match the household registration of another family, and you can be registered at the guard station. Yes."
Su Ze immediately understood what Aunt Ninth meant.
After the serious disaster in the Southeast China Sea, Emperor Jiajing established the Japanese Control Bureau in the Southeast, which was responsible for the anti-Japanese affairs in various places.
Now the superiors have not yet had time to replenish their military registration in Changning Guard, which gives Su Ze the opportunity to naturalize. As long as he pretends to be a child of a certain family before Biwa removes the official from the General Division, he can get a clean record. identity of.
As a history graduate student, Su Ze naturally knew the importance of household registration, and this was the sincerity shown by Aunt Ninth.
Aunt Ninth continued:
"The regular soldiers suffered heavy losses this time. All the regular military members in the guard station have to recruit soldiers. If you become a naturalized soldier, you will definitely be dragged into the guard army. I think you are unwilling to do so, right?"
Su Ze nodded repeatedly. The Ming Dynasty allowed military households to participate in the imperial examination, but it did not allow soldiers to participate in the imperial examination.
To put it simply, as long as someone in the family is a soldier, the household will be classified as a military member, and all men registered in the military register are candidate soldiers.
The military status system established by Emperor Hongwu was to ensure the integrity of the army.
But not all men with military status are soldiers.
For example, Zhang Juzheng's family has military status, but someone from Zhang Juzheng's family serves as a soldier in the guard station and has fulfilled the obligations of military status.
Therefore, Zhang Juzheng was able to take the imperial examination through health studies, and became a Jinshi along the way and entered the Hanlin Academy.
But this premise is that Zhang Juzheng is not a soldier of the guard. If he is transferred into the army, he will naturally not be able to participate in the imperial examination.
Su Ze naturally did not want to be a soldier in the Ming Dynasty Guard all his life. Although soldiers in the Ming Dynasty also had promotion channels to military attachés, the Ming Dynasty still valued civil service over military affairs. After Tumubao, the status of military attachés declined sharply. Su Ze had the system, so naturally I want to take part in the imperial examination.
Aunt Ninth said: "My family's household registration is military registration. This time it will definitely not be my family's turn to compensate for the military. It just so happened that my nephew died in the war. Are you willing to join my household registration?" Su Ze's eyes lit up. It seems that this Ninth
Auntie They sincerely want to be mutually beneficial to themselves, and they are not digging holes to harm themselves.
The Ming Dynasty Guard system has also developed for a hundred years, and the military households in Changning Guard are also divided into two types of military status.
Regular military status refers to those who have immediate family members serving in the military. If a regular soldier cannot serve, someone must provide military service.
The military registration of Jiu Gu's mother-in-law's family is the in-laws and side branches of the military household. It is a kind of household registration between military registration and agricultural registration.
Only when all the male members of the military household with regular military registration in the family of the ninth aunt's mother-in-law are dead, will the superiors recruit regular soldiers from those with military registration, that is, candidates for military candidates. Su Ze immediately saluted Ninth Auntie and said, "Auntie."
Ninth Auntie helped Su Ze up and said, "My maiden name is Lin. Now I only have a nephew in the register. If you take over his household registration, you will be in the guardhouse in the future." To the outside world, he calls me my nephew."
Su Ze nodded quickly, and Aunt Ninth said: "If you get married and start a business in the future, and you can still remember this love from me, I will ask your descendants to offer some incense to the Lin family when they offer sacrifices to their ancestors. , how about it?"
Since ancient times, China has attached great importance to offering incense to ancestors. Su Ze said quickly: "Auntie, don't worry, I will not forget the Lin family's incense love!"
Aunt Ninth said with a smile: "Then it's settled. , there is a wing next to the temple, which is where my nephew used to live. The old lady has cleaned it up, you can live in it directly." "You can stay by
my side these few days and learn the craftsmanship in the temple. , how about it?"
Su Ze nodded quickly and agreed, and Aunt Jiu said with satisfaction:
"I will tell Baihu about your identity. You will stay in the temple first. After Weili settles down in a few days, I will take you to visit Baihu. Sir."
In this way, Su Ze settled in Changningwei's family temple.
Although Su Ze was very curious about the Ming Dynasty Hua Mulan who disguised herself as a man in the family tree of Changning Guard, he was new here and didn't want to be regarded as a Japanese pirate spy by the villagers of the Guard, so he stayed at the family temple honestly these days.
It only took Ninth Auntie two days to complete Su Ze's household registration. Now that he had replaced Ninth Auntie's nephew who died in the war, he finally had a formal status in the Ming Dynasty.
Another day later, Aunt Ninth brought back a smaller carrot head. This child was thin and small, with withered and yellow hair. It looked like he had been malnourished since he was a child.
Seeing that the child was smaller than the little carrot before, Su Ze couldn't help but ask:
"Auntie, is this the disciple you are looking for?"
Su Ze has traveled through time in the physical body. He is a generation who grew up in the era of economic boom. Although his family background is average, But I was well-nourished when I was a child.
At 1.8 meters tall, he stands out in the entire guard.
When the little carrot head saw Su Ze, he was so frightened that he hid behind Aunt Nine.
Aunt Ninth pulled her and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, this is my nephew and your brother."
Then the little carrot head stood up from behind Aunt Ninth and looked curiously at Su Ze.
Aunt Ninth said: "Cai Niang, you will live here from now on and follow me to learn the skills in the temple."
Cai Niang? Is this little carrot head a girl?
Su Ze looked carefully and realized that Cainiang was quite pretty. The reason why he didn't recognize her was because her braid looked like a little carrot head, which made Su Ze mistakenly think that she was a boy.
Looking at the little carrot-top hairstyle, Su Ze couldn't help but ask:
"Auntie, this child hasn't even got hairpin yet, has she?"
Aunt Ninth sighed and said, "This child is already fifteen. She has not had a mother since she was a child, and her father and the old man Hundreds of families died in the battle together, and no one gave her a haircut gift."
"Cai Niang, just live with me in the back room, and do morning lessons with me tomorrow."
The little carrot head nodded obediently. Su Ze looked at this thin girl and once again lamented how difficult it was for the people of the Ming Dynasty.
