Chapter 359: Zhu Wenkui's Caution
As the sky was bright, the martial artists of the Five Military Mansions, led by Li Jinglong, began to gather outside the noon gate, put on their notebooks and went into the big interior to wait for the summons.
Cao Guogong Xu Huizu has not arrived, he will be busy with military guards all over the country to investigate.
Zhu Yunwen gave Xu Huizu a task, to remove the chaff and preserve the good, to start the restructuring of the local military guards, to count the total number of these military households, and to form a new local military guard, responsible for the local tasks of protecting the territory and the people, fighting gangsters and eliminating evil, not to undertake the task of farming.
Just like the current Beijing camp and border army of the Ming Dynasty, they belong to the recruitment and professional soldiers.
When he is not fighting or has no tasks, he specializes in training and preparing for war.
And it is no longer a day job, Xu Huizu has counted an integer here, and he can talk to Zhu Yunwen about the salary of this new army when he turns around.
As for the civilian registration of the people who have been laid off, the original state-owned military land will be converted into civilian land, and it will be divided equally according to the number of people.
They enjoy the same tax policy as the people's land, instead of keeping the rations and turning the rest over to the national treasury as in the past.
The establishment of military households in the whole country and the establishment of the guard office are regarded as the Hongwu ancestral system, and it is also established for the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, but after all, it is a system that is destined to be eliminated, and the military households are passed down from generation to generation, and after three or four generations, not only the combat effectiveness is exhausted, but even the most basic task of farming and grain delivery is unsatisfactory.
According to the statistics of Hongwu year, the country's guards could pay more than 13 million stone of grain, but in the orthodox years, they only paid more than 4 million.
The shorts are too big, and they have long been divided up by the local government.
Instead of letting this system decay and die, Zhu Yunwen simply cut him down now, restructuring is nothing more than spending money, and if the country is not short of money, there is no need to be afraid.
Even if the system is restructured, it is not completely one-size-fits-all, and Zhu Yunwen set a tone: The military and guard centers in Guizhou, Liangguang, and Liaodong are not included in the current restructuring, and the system of fetters and guards living together with the localities is still practiced in order to deepen and consolidate the ties between the center and the localities.
Xu Huizu is not in Beijing, and the leader of the martial arts of the Five Military Mansions is naturally Li Jinglong, a 'Ming God of War', although the presence of this second generation in the Ming military over the years is extremely low, but the gold signboard of the Guogong on his head is not fake.
The practice of the Ming Dynasty, non-clan relatives, and those who are alive are not awarded the title of king.
The gold content of the prince of the country is no worse than that of the prince of the Zongren Mansion.
"Cao Guogong, Your Majesty is unwell today, and it is inconvenient to summon all the lords."
The large army that wanted to see him hit the wall at the noon gate, and a small eunuch stopped the big guy with an edict.
"Your Majesty said, if there is anything to do with the lords, just go to the script."
In this way, a stack of recitals of the impeachment of the generals of the southwest department were transported into the warm pavilion, and Zhu Yunwen's eyes erupted into the warm pavilion.
Of course, he is not angry, there are many unruly and rough men in the southwest department, led by Ma Dajun, the backbone of the original mountain army is now a heavy general in the Yunnan Dusi, and the style of this group of people is well known to him, the emperor, Zhu Yunwen is angry with the second generation of the Fifth Military Mansion.
One by one, they have been walking in Nanjing all day long, and they may not have learned any ways in military strategy and the art of war, but this civilian-official clique has learned ten out of ten in the skills of listening to the wind and making troubles, impeaching and attacking.
"I have been thinking about promulgating a clause on the rectification of the army's work style, and it is just right to take advantage of the impeachment of the lords of the five military governments this time to push the boat down."
grabbed the minister, and Zhu Yunwen followed closely and waited for another person who asked to see:
Yan Wang Zhu Di.
"It seems that my fourth uncle is really moved by compassion, and he spares no effort to intercede with me for the sake of this horse army."
"Is this Yan King's behavior intended to win people's hearts in exchange for the gratitude of the horse army?"
"Quite the opposite."
Zhu Yunwen laughed.
Zhu Di's reaction was expected by Zhu Yunwen.
"In this matter, my purpose is to see if the fourth uncle can put himself in the right position now, whether he regards himself as the chief of the general staff of the Ming Dynasty, or the king of the Ming Yan who still has a chance but replaces him.
The former is a minister who is dedicated to the country, and if he is for the public, he will excuse Ma Dajun and intercede, and for his own selfishness, he will be wise to protect himself, or even fall into the well.
The so-called evil ones are very evil.
The gesture I put on can be described as an itch of hatred for this Ma army, and the fact that the fourth uncle can intercede at this juncture, at the risk of being suspicious of me, shows that when he thinks about the problem now, he is not an ambitious person, let alone a selfless person, and he is fearless. ”
If the matter of hanging Ma Dajun is not resolved, what Zhu Yunwen is waiting for is the reaction of Zhu Di and the Five Military Mansions.
His purpose was achieved.
"Tell the fourth uncle, I won't see him."
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand: "I still have to wait for someone." ”
After waiting for the ministers to wait for Zhu Di, there was another person, Zhu Yunwen, who did not wait.
That is his eldest son: Zhu Wenkui!
A thirteen-year-old child, it's time to be sensible, and Zhu Yunwen also hopes that his son can be sensible.
Zhu Yunwen is waiting for Zhu Wenkui, and Zhu Wenkui is also facing this choice at this time.
In the Lakeside Academy, in his leisure time, Yu Qian had already found the latter to talk about it.
"The Marquis of Dingnan was imprisoned, and the rumor was that there were many trespassers in his plain life, but this matter was groundless, His Royal Highness should quickly find His Majesty to intercede, open the net, and allow the Marquis of Dingnan to make meritorious contributions."
"Why don't you want to."
In the Qianqing Palace, in front of Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Wenkui was a cautious child, but in this lakeside school, the little guy stood with his hands in his hands, but he also had a bit of bearing.
Although the body is small, it can also make a little noble at a glance.
"But Ma Dajun is the head of the southwest generals, and you only hear the rumors about the trespassing, but this palace really sees it.
It's a certainty, this time it's bound to be a dead end.
If this palace disobeys his father at this time, pleads for this traitor, and even transgressions can be forgiven, then this palace will not become a disloyal and unfilial person. ”
Thirteen-year-old Zhu Wenkui and eleven-year-old Yu Qian, the two and a half eldest sons argued over whether to intercede or not.
"His Royal Highness is the eldest son, and now he has been approved by His Majesty to sit in the palace and observe state affairs.
In the future, the position of the East Palace will be none other than His Royal Highness, and I hope that His Royal Highness will take state affairs as the basis and ask His Majesty for intercession. ”
Yu Qian's words were not enough to impress Zhu Wenkui, who flatly refused.
"In the affairs of the military system, even the cabinet has no right to intervene, this is the taboo of my father, Yu Qian, although you are smart, you don't understand political affairs.
The reason why military power and monarchy have the same sound is because whoever holds a strong army is the king.
Now that the palace is getting older, it can't be rashly said that it shouldn't be said, this palace pleaded this time, if the father really forgave Ma Dajun, the southwest department is bound to be grateful to the palace students, this is still it? ”
Yu Qian was speechless when he said this.
The sacred heart is unpredictable, and it is difficult to look forward to Zhu Wenkui's young age.
But Yu Qian still felt that he had to fight for it.
"Ma Dajun has just made a great contribution, killing him at this juncture will chill the military morale of the southwest department, and it will not benefit the country, Your Highness thinks twice."
"Enough!"
Zhu Wenkui was very angry, but he didn't know if it was Yu Qian or himself who was angry.
"What qualifications does this palace have to put aside the decision of the father, the merit of the father, the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the coercion of the four seas.
How to deal with your own considerations, let's reveal this matter. ”
After that, he went straight to the school without looking back.
A new class is about to begin.
