The emergence of high-yield crops is a well-deserved auspicious auspiciousness.

Emperor Jiajing was very happy about this, and the officials of the six ministries and the officials of the two capitals and the thirteen provinces were very happy.

Once these crops are fully promoted, the people of the Ming Dynasty will no longer have any famine, which is a great achievement.

The reward for Lu Li was soon released.

An imperial edict was passed to Jinshanwei, and Lu Li was promoted to the title of Yunjianbo, and was appointed as the General of Songjiang.

In addition, the old lady of the Lu family also received a reward of the third-ranked imperial decree.

Lu Li was awarded the title, and from then on he became a nobleman of the Ming Dynasty. This is a fundamental difference from ordinary military officers.

Ordinary military officers cannot raise their heads in front of civil servants, and they must first get a luggage when they see civil servants, and even kneel down.

It will be different after the title is awarded. In terms of social status, nobles have higher status than scholars. As long as officials with lower titles than counts, they must first ceremonies when they see Lu Li.

In addition to being awarded titles, Lu Li's official position has also been upgraded to a higher level. General Songjiang is already the military chief of a town. All the garrisons within the jurisdiction of Songjiang Prefecture are under the jurisdiction of Lu Li.

In addition to the original Jinshan Guard, Baoshan Guard and Kunshan Guard were also included in Lu Li's command.

According to the full number of soldiers, the three guards combined can reach up to 15,000 troops under Lu Li.

In addition, the troops directly under the Songjiang General Office include the Songjiang Governor's Governor and the Songjiang Navy Division.

The Songjiang Guards were the one time when Lu Li fought the "Arieskou Victory" and he had contacted the Songjiang Guards.

In addition, the Songjiang Navy is very valuable to Lu Li. Although the Songjiang Navy is now so bad that it is impossible to read, the emergence of this organization can allow Lu Li to develop the navy legitimately.

As soon as the decree arrived, Lu Li immediately took office and entered the General Office of Songjiang.

After Lu Li was promoted to General Songjiang, Tong Zhilin took over as the commander of the Songjiang Guard. Liu Bin was still the commander of Baoshan Guard.

This was the first time Lu Li met the commander of Kunshan Guard. This guy was a big and thick man named Lin Wei.

The Songjiang Guard was still the Wang Guard at the time, and the chief officer of the Songjiang Navy was named Wang Yi.

After taking over the General of Songjiang, Lu Li carried out a comprehensive transformation of Baoshan Guards, Kunshan Guards, Songjiang Guards and Songjiang Navy in accordance with the model of transforming Jinshan Guards.

Various infrastructure construction will be fully implemented to the garrisons under their jurisdiction, rebuilding military camps, rebuilding garrisons, building naval garrisons, building shipyards, and building wharfs...

Military system reform also followed, laying off the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, recruiting soldiers again, adjusting the food and salary distribution system, launching military training for new recruits, etc.

Agricultural experts also went to various garrisons to implement new farming techniques and began to prepare for winter wheat planting, radish and cabbage planting, etc.

By the end of the 40th year of Jiajing, the three garrisons under Lu Li, as well as the Songjiang Governors and Songjiang Navy, had initially completed military reforms.

The three guards had a total of 15,000 soldiers. There were 1,000 garrison troops in Songjiang and 2,000 garrison troops in Songjiang Navy.

Of course, most of them are still new recruits. Except for Baoshan Guard, who has completed more than half a year of military training, other troops do not have combat capabilities at all.

While Lu Li was carrying out vigorous military construction, the Ming Dynasty cabinet was also preparing for the promotion of high-yield crops.

The official responsible for promoting high-yield crops turned out to be... Hai Rui!

It took Lu Li a lot of effort to describe the concepts in modern medicine in Taoist terms.

The old Taoist priest took the book and was careless at the beginning, looking around casually. After reading a few sentences, his face became serious.

The more I read it, the more I felt that it was unfathomable. The old Taoist priest was in a state of great excitement, and his hands holding the booklets trembled slightly.

"So that's it! So that's it!"

After reading it carefully, the old Taoist priest was unpretentious and murmured, "Cultivating nature but not life is the first disease of cultivation. I was wrong. The first step was wrong. I visualized the god of inner scenes, and we must start with the mind."

Next, Lu Li and the old Taoist priest had a detailed discussion on the "Secret Record of Immortal Techniques". Under Lu Li's deliberate guidance, the old Taoist priest seemed to see a road to heaven that pointed directly at immortality.

So, Lu Li successfully became the "Taoist Fellow" of the old Taoist priest.

Since they are fellow Taoists, it is appropriate to help each other. Lu Li proposed to use acupuncture to improve the Taoist practice of the old Taoist priest. The old Taoist priest agreed without hesitation, without any awareness of being a guinea pig.

Next, Lu Li simply invited the old Taoist priest back to Lujiazhuang and moved into the Lujia compound.

Every morning and evening, Lu Li personally gave acupuncture to the old Taoist priests, treated the old Taoist priests as tiny mice, and practiced Lu Li's theory of "scientific cultivation of immortals".

After a few days, the old Taoist priest obviously felt more excited, and it seemed that his "spiritual consciousness" had also increased a lot.

Meridian theory and acupuncture stimulation really promote the strengthening of ganglion and human bioelectric signals?

We need to continue research and experiments.

...

While Lu Li was farming, training troops, and studying cultivation techniques, the Songjiang Prefecture was peaceful and peaceful.

However... Hu Zongxian, the southeastern anti-Japanese governor who was in charge of Hangzhou, was already in a state of great trouble.

In the Guangdong-Guangxi area, Quanzhou area, and even the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, except for the safety and safety around Songjiang Prefecture, there is smoke everywhere else.

The Jiajing Dynasty was the most severe period of Japanese pirates and bandits. Beacons were lit almost every day in the southeast coastal areas, and warnings were blew up every day.

The matter of surrendering Japanese pirates was blown away by the Qingliu in the court. Some time ago, he finally surrendered a group of Japanese pirates, but the officials who came to recruit them directly killed all the leaders of the Japanese pirates.

In this case, no Japanese pirate leader would believe in Hu Zongxian's sincerity in attracting peace.

"Oh! There are all cowardly rats under your command, and it's not easy to fight against the Japanese...!"

Hu Zongxian looked at the reports from all over the country and sighed again, "I must have strong soldiers and tiger generals in my hands. Lu Li must transfer Lu Li over."

Immediately, Hu Zongxian submitted another memorial, requesting to send Yun Jianbo Lu Li to lead the soldiers of the General Office of Songjiang to pacify the Japanese.

After reporting this memorial to the cabinet, the Qingliu people under the command of Mr. Xu blasted Hu Zongxian again, and various impeachment memorials rushed over like snowflakes.

These Qingliu people are impeaching Hu Zongxian for incompetence. Since they cannot quell the Japanese trespass, they still need to ask Yun Jianbo to lead troops to quell the Japanese. Why don’t they abdicate and give way to the wise?

Fortunately, Master Yan Ge supported Hu Zongxian and allowed Hu Zongxian to retain his position as governor. However... this also put Hu Zongxian as a member of the Yan Party.

Once Ge Lao Yan falls, Hu Zongxian will inevitably be liquidated.

...

In November of the 40th year of Jiajing, Lu Li received an order from the Ministry of War, requiring him to lead his army to pacify the Japanese.

Lu Li has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

The five thousand new troops of Kingsoft Guard had already completed military training. However, without the transfer order from the Ministry of War, Lu Li could not send troops privately.

After receiving the order, Lu Li summoned his generals and began to dispatch troops.

Baoshan Guard, Kunshan Guard, Songjiang Guard and Songjiang Navy are all new recruits and have not formed combat power, so they naturally cannot be mobilized.

Lu Li did not take all the five thousand Jinshan Guards who had completed military training, and they still needed to leave some troops to garrison their nests.

In the end, Lu Li drew three thousand troops from Jinshanwei and advanced all the way to the coast of Zhejiang Province.

Due to factional struggles in the court, although Lu Li sent troops to combat the Japanese, he did not belong to Hu Zongxian, the governor of the anti-Japanese war, but sent troops in the name of assisting the anti-Japanese war.

Of course, this is the best for Lu Li. Lu Li doesn’t want to be commanded by a civil servant in such a matter of leading troops to fight. Who knows what ideas will come to his mind after reading the military book?

Leading troops to Hangzhou Prefecture, Lu Li politely visited Hu Zongxian, the governor of the Southeast Anti-Japanese War.

He thought Lu Li was a noble count and had also passed the imperial examination. In front of Hu Zongxian, Lu Li was naturally not a "low-official officer".

After meeting, Hu Zongxian instead greeted Lu Li first, "The official Hu Zongxian has met Yun Jianbo."

"Governor General, please be polite."

Lu Li returned a greeting and said with a smile: "This time, Lu Li was ordered to assist the governor in pacifying the Japanese, but he didn't know much about the current situation of anti-Japanese war in the southeast. He also asked the Governor for guidance."

"I dare not take the advice."

Hu Zongxian did not show any high attitude and directly talked about the serious matter. "Yun Jianbo, now the largest Japanese pirates in the southeast coastal area are two, namely Wang Zhi and Xu Hai. In addition, there are Chen Dong, Ye Ma, Xin Wulang and other tribes."

"Wang Zhi and Xu Hai are the most powerful, one occupying the East China Sea and the other occupying the South China Sea. The two bandits have tens of thousands of troops, and they are called lonely in the south, which is a disaster to the southeast, and they are actually a huge bandit on the sea."

"The rest of Chen Dong, Ye Ma and Xin Wulang's troops were slightly inferior in strength and each had thousands of troops. These bandits ran rampant overseas, causing harm to the people, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil."

"I was ordered by the emperor and the governor to fight against Japanese pirates in the southeast. Although he had been repeatedly captured and repelled several large Japanese pirates invasions, he fled into the sea because of the bandits, and was beyond the reach of chasing them."

Hu Zongxian looked up at Lu Li and said, "Now Yun Jianbo has led his troops to come in person, it is naturally no problem to suppress the Japanese pirates."

"The Governor is over-reputable."

Lu Li smiled, but did not take on this incident and asked directly: "Governor General, now our troops have entered Hangzhou Prefecture. Now in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, where is the most serious Japanese disease?"

"Yun Jianbo came by a coincidence. I received a report that Shaoxing Prefecture was attacked by a large number of Japanese pirates, and Shaoxing Prefecture was in an emergency. I also asked Yun Jianbo to send troops to rescue him!"

Hu Zongxian quickly handed over this imminent bandit to Lu Li.

"Shaoxing Mansion?"

Lu Li nodded, stood up and clasped his fists at Hu Zongxian, "Since there are bandits, Lu Li should send troops immediately."

"good!"
Chapter completed!
