Chapter 81: Ma Zheng

Where is the disadvantage of Daming Ma Zheng?

It is in the imperial court that the people raise horses.

It seems that Emperor Taizu hated the large-scale government business model very much.

In many things, this is circumvented.

The same is true for iron smelting, and it is also true for raising horses.

Emperor Taizu was born in the south of the Yangtze River, and there was not enough land for raising horses, so he divided the horses into the households to raise them as a kind of service, and there were regulations on how many foals the horse should give birth to each year.

At the beginning, there was one a year, which almost reached the physiological limit of horses, so during the Hongxi period, it was changed to one every two years.

But there are still a lot of drawbacks.

The first drawback, in Zhu Qizhen's view, is that horses cannot be regarded as war horses.

The reason is very simple, what is the way for the people to raise horses, Zhu Qizhen doesn't need to think about it, but what kind of war horses are used in the army.

It can be said that the horses raised by the common people cannot be used in battle at all, but can only be used as animal power.

Secondly, the government and the people are mixed, and there are too many problems.

The first is compensation.

Raising horses is not without risk, even in later generations many breeding industries are still very risky, once the horse of the government is dead, the responsibility of compensation is enough for the people to go bankrupt.

There is also a horse campaign. Order horses, and so on.

How can the common people fight against the government.

The so-called official word has two mouths, and only a little bit of manipulation can be within the rules, and your tossing desire to die can be killed.

Yu Qian also told Zhu Qizhen a lot of Ma Zheng's problems.

Zhu Qizhen has long regarded Ma Zheng as one of the key points of future processing.

Even as a decision to exempt Ma Zheng.

Zhu Qizhen didn't know that the evil policy of Ma Zheng had a deep impact, and many of the so-called Shandong Xiangma were horse breeders, and they had to take risks in order to bear the obligation of raising horses, otherwise they would not be able to get money.

During the Zhengde period, Liu Liu and Liu Qi, who made a lot of trouble, rebelled, and they were born in horse breeders.

Even later generations spent Ma Zheng to let horse breeders teach horses to price silver, and in the period of Zhang Juzheng, Taifu Temple actually accumulated four million taels of silver.

Taifu Temple is a specialized horse breeding institution. Four million silver is not a small amount, and it can be seen that these people would rather pay more than raise horses.

Because of paying more money, no matter how much money you have, it is limited, but raising horses is a bottomless pit, although it will be extorted.

However, the basis for Zhu Qizhen's decision to abolish Ma Zheng was the horse supervisors of Taifu Temple.

Nowadays, most of the horses used by the imperial court are raised by the horse supervisors, and where the horse supervisors are located, that is, in the northwest, as well as the Great Wall, and even in Liaodong, there are horse supervisors.

However, Zhu Qizhen also understands the situation.

With the southward movement of the tile spur, the outer line of the Great Wall, which was originally the horse breeding ground of the imperial court, is the so-called Monan area, and the Inner Mongolia area of later generations is no longer under the control of the imperial court.

Such as last year's Great Battle.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen could not expect a horse farm outside the Great Wall. Then the Northwest Horse Farm has become Zhu Qizhen's hope. There are quite a few horse wardens in the northwest.

However, whether the horse farm in the northwest of Shandan Wei can be preserved or not, Zhu Qizhen does not know.

Under such circumstances, no matter how hateful and harmful this Ma Zheng is, it is impossible for Zhu Qizhen to move. I think that the number of horses you have is directly related to the strategic security of the country.

How can Zhu Qizhen not be annoyed very.

also understands why Yu Qian said that Yang Rong would never allow such a thing to happen.

Because of what Zhu Qizhen can figure out now, Yang Rong can figure it out at that time, just to ensure that the imperial court uses horses, the battle in the northwest must be fought.

However, fighting a war is not an easy task.

This is especially the case. Yang Rong wanted to talk to the cabinet, persuade the Empress Dowager, and then discuss with Zhang Fu the candidate for battle, all of which were arranged.

It is estimated that it will be the second half of the year.

Zhu Qizhen said: "The northwest uses soldiers, who does Mr. Yu think should be used?" ”

Yu Qian thought for a while and said, "It's either Fang Zheng or Jiang Gui." Wu Xing and other generals have just been put in various places to guard, and they will not be easily transferred, at least the Empress Dowager is not allowed. ”

"Only Fang Zheng is in Datong and has a victory. Jiang Gui also won in Songpan. ”

"And both of them are British veterans."

"Follow the British Gongnan to Cochin and Tatar to the north."

Zhu Qizhen sighed lightly in his heart and said secretly: "Having a good leader is good." ”

Many times, how long a person can live means how influential he is, especially when it comes to politics.

Zhang Fu's old generals have been reused one by one, is there only Zhang Fu and his family in the imperial court?

No, it's Zhang Fu who is still there, and the original general Jingnan is gone.

Therefore, Zhang Fu's influence is something that the civil service system cannot refuse.

Even the Empress Dowager had to appease Zhang Fuduo.

Let Zhang Fu's old generals gather in Jingshi, this is absolutely impossible. The generals sent by the Empress Dowager could not be moved lightly, because they all had political tasks to stabilize the south.

Look at some people, such as the king of Chu, such as some people in Nanjing.

But Zhang Fu's old generals fought abroad, but there was no problem at all.

Even if the emperor's position is stabilized in the future, it may not be impossible for these people to be transferred to the Beijing Division.

Zhu Qizhen asked Wang Zhen, "Is Zhang Zhong here?" ”

Wang Zhen said: "I didn't arrive. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Send someone to spread the word, saying that I haven't seen me for many days, and I miss it very much. ”

Wang Zhen immediately said: "Yes." ”

As for whether he really misses Zhang Zhong, I don't think anyone wants to delve into it, even if it is the British public Zhang Fu. However, Zhu Qizhen didn't have any bad intentions, he just had to ask Zhang Fu about his plans.

Although he did not lead the war this time, he was happy to see it happen.

Not for anything else.

What is the combat effectiveness of the Ming army?

Zhu Qizhen always wants to take a look.

Otherwise, he has no bottom in his heart, and both inside and outside say that the Ming army is not as good as that of Taizong, and it has long been unbearable, but it is unbearable, to what extent will it not fight.

Different degrees require different responses.

"No," Zhu Qizhen thought, "just look at the twists and turns." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Mr. Yu, you go back to Shuntian Mansion to deal with affairs first, I want to go back to the palace, what do you ask Jinyiwei and Dongchang." ”

Yu Qian immediately understood that there were some things that Zhu Qizhen didn't want Yu Qian to know. Even though Zhu Qizhen will be regarded as a confidant, although there are many lecturers in the palace, these lecturers have to discuss for several days before they can give lectures to Zhu Qizhen. Opposite Zhu Qizhen for a morning.

And Yu Qian doesn't seem to teach anything, but every afternoon, Zhu Qizhen will summon Yu Qian into the palace to consult various matters. It's simply the treatment of a confidant.

I'm afraid that his mentor Yang Shiqi may not have such treatment when he was in Renzong's palace. But even so, it is normal that the emperor does not want him to know something.

Yu Qian said: "The minister retired. ”

After Zhu Qizhen sent someone to send Yu Qian out of the palace, he returned to the Qianqing Palace and immediately summoned Jin Ying and Ma Shun over.

When Jin Ying and Ma Shun came over, they were already sweating profusely.

It's not going to be easy for them at this time.

The cleaning of the capital has begun. In all the dark corners, I don't know how many outlaws have been cleared out.

Because this time, not only the Jinyi Weidong Factory, but also the Five Cities Terracotta Division, Shuntianfu, and even the Criminal Department participated.

Therefore, it is one thing to arrest people, and it is another thing to hand over to these departments.

With the Empress Dowager here, the Jinyi Weidong Factory has long since lost the prestige of the Yongle period. I can only honestly go through the procedures with the yamen. If the two leaders of them are not there, the people below them will be bullied to death by the officials of the Criminal Department.

Where can they only hold up the field.

When Zhu Qizhen saw the two of them, he directly smashed the letter of Shandanwei's loss in front of the two of them, and said: "Jinyiwei and Dongchang are the eyes and ears of the heavenly family, why is this matter reported by the cabinet." ”

Seeing this, Jin Ying and Ma Shun secretly glanced at each other, secretly complaining in their hearts.

The above master really thinks that Jinyiwei and Dongchang have the ability to fly away, and all the things in the world can't be hidden from the eyes and ears of Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

But I don't know that Jinyi Weidong Factory also has a sense of existence in Liangjing, and the sensitivity of other aspects may not be much stronger than that of local government guards.

It's just that at this time, can it be explained in this way?

Of course not. When a boss is furious, they have only one way to deal with it.

The two hurriedly kowtowed and said, "The minister is a capital crime." ”
