When Ma Xin was still stiff-mouthed in the end, Ge Lei's face was already extremely ugly.

At this moment, Ge Lei knew that he was about to lose this comrade-in-arms who had worked with him for many years.

Ma Xin is no longer a pure soldier, but a person who has the characteristics of a political speculator and is narrow-minded and selfish, this kind of person will never be able to be a high-level general!

"Ban the Five Military Mansions, and the world will be literati?"

Ge Lei's shoulders shook several times, and for a while he didn't know whether to joke Ma Xin's last hard mouth or should be sad, sad that Ma Xin was no longer as upright as he was back then, and now Ma Xin is full of lies and quibbles, and even knows that he is quibbling and is still stubborn.

"It's just that you can use this kind of words to deceive the soldiers at the grassroots level, and now you are still using it to tell me, Ma Xin, as a commander of the three products, do you believe this sentence yourself! Do you believe it! ”

At present, the Ming Dynasty, because of the initial reversal of the Confucian movement, because of the "Jianwen Canon", because of the abolition of the imperial examination, because the more and more perfect administrative mechanism has all been brought together to the central government, this point will not be repeated, and the closer look can be found in the previous article.

And military power has always been in the hands of the central government, from the Hongwu Dynasty to the present.

Without the Five Military Administrations, the military power of the local armies was directly transferred from the Five Military Offices to the central government, which means that it was more centralized.

The local political envoy can mobilize the local army, but this is under certain circumstances, and there are several core requirements and procedures that need to be met, which are also elaborated.

Without the existence of the Five Military Mansions, it is just that the Ming Dynasty has lost a lineage aristocratic class that can enjoy the country's political dividends for a long time, and has released a more relaxed promotion space to the grassroots level, so that soldiers at the grassroots level can be promoted.

At the same time, because there are fewer families of dozens or hundreds of lineage nobles, there is naturally no suzerainty and clan power that can quickly form political forces through in-law ties, and political resources are released to the grassroots level, so that ordinary people can also obtain state public power and become a part of the country's exercise of public duties.

Let ordinary people also have the opportunity to get ahead and be part of the leadership or participation in the leadership of the country.

Of course, when Xu Huizu and others said this to the provincial commanders, they clarified it like this.

If the five military mansions are lost and the inherited aristocratic lineage is lost, then this blank political dividend is likely to be seized by the civilian clique.

For example, the academic school and the fellow countrymen.

Let's not raise the bar to say this, it is indeed inevitable.

Once Zongxun withdraws from the stage of history and the aristocratic class that can be inherited withdraws from the stage of history, then there will be a large area of power space in the country of Daming that will be in a vacuum in an instant.

As the closest civilian group to political power, of course, the first to occupy the building near the water.

However, there is one point, that the civilian clique can't catch up with the Zongxun aristocratic class.

That is, the civil service itself is not inherited, and it is essentially too dependent on imperial power, or on the political system to survive.

What does it mean to survive on the political system?

This is something that only politicians and officials can understand.

The abstraction and concretization of politics.

Abstraction is a transitional period, and concreteness is a stable period.

For example, the gate valve system in the Han and Jin dynasties was the embodiment of national politics, also known as the wealthy society.

The Hao society does not have a high demand for the governance ability of the national government, because the Hao clan has its own sphere of influence, and we can call this clan power, township power, and patriarchal power.

Within the sphere of influence of the Hao clan, the leaders of the gate lords formulate an order according to the humanistic situation within their own influence, and the people within this range must produce, do things, and follow the rules according to this order.

The law of the country cannot be interfered with, and the so-called imperial power does not go to the countryside.

The abstraction is a transitional period, and the representative one is from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty.

Because there was a period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms in the middle of the two dynasties, which caused chaos in the world, after the establishment of the Song Dynasty, the political system of the country was replanned, which was written above.

The public instruments of the state are all over the world, the power of scholars has been comprehensively enhanced, and the common people can study all the way to become the prime minister of the country like Wang Anshi.

The wealthy clan gradually withdrew from the stage of history, and the state began to unify the legal principles of norms, and this period can be called a civilian society.

The process of transformation from a wealthy society to a civilian society is a transitional period, an abstraction of the political system.

At present, in the Ming Dynasty, there is an aristocratic lineage such as the Five Military Mansions and clan relatives, and there are also Xu Buji, who are from civilian backgrounds and become the head of the cabinet, which is abstraction.

Because the wealthy and the common people coexist.

When the political system of this country fully entered the civilian society, there was no aristocratic lineage, and it was a new kind of materialization.

Everyone is worried that the civil official family is dominant, will the Ming Dynasty become Zhao Song or follow the old historical path of the middle and late Ming Dynasty?

The characteristics of the civilian society are diametrically opposed to the Hao society, and the call of the civilian society is that the government's governance ability should become higher, because there is no intermediate mechanism of the Hao family, so the government directly faces the ordinary people, and every policy of the government will affect the livelihood of an ordinary person.

Then the government's ability to govern the society is insufficient, and the civilian society will rebound and give feedback to the government with a dissatisfied attitude.

And through what medium is the government's ability to govern?

Officials, that is, the civilian clique that everyone fears.

If the civilian clique does not do well, the society will give feedback in real time, then this official will inevitably be laid off, and his political life will come to an end.

Because under this political system, he did not do his job well, so he naturally had to be abandoned.

And if they want to maintain their own political life, then officials who depend on the political system must comply with the demands of civil society for the continuous improvement of the government's ability to govern.

This point is not summed up by modern people, as early as the Song Dynasty, the ancients already had a very advanced political vision to look at these issues.

The Lü Township Covenant is the earliest normative charter for rural autonomy, because the Zhao and Song dynasties could not give the civilian society the governance ability it needed, so the common people spontaneously organized and governed.

So why did the politicians of the Zhao and Song dynasties see this crux but are powerless to change it?

Again, that's the same sentence.

'Why did the emperor rebel?' ’

The emperor himself is the greatest vested interest, how can he oppose his own class?

No emperor would be willing to enter the civilian society, so that he could spend his days thinking about how to serve the people and improve the government's ability to govern.

Zhu Yunwen is willing to be the first, you can call him stupid, say he is idealistic, say he is too fake and unreal.

But you have to acknowledge Him, great!

We have all known several great people in the world from history books, and Zhu Yunwen has reached the position of emperor, shouldering the future and responsibility of hundreds of millions of people across the country, of course he wants to be such a great leader.

Therefore, the same literati sit in the world, but the current Ming Dynasty is completely different from the Song Dynasty.

In the system of political operation that has been regulated and has formed habits, how can the civilian officials, who have always relied on the political system to continue their political life, collude to destroy the country?

Or the scalp is itchy and the water is too cold to change the master?

Even if they want to change, they can only resign naked, and run alone to the enemy camp to be a minion.

The common people will not follow him, and his colleagues will not follow him.

The so-called alumni association and villagers' association will not follow him.

We are just classmates and fellow villagers, and I am not your father, and I will give up my own political life for you?

The seemingly solid academic school and the fellow countryman faction are extremely easy to disintegrate under the civilian social system.

Because you can't do it well, I can't risk being taken off my hat to protect you.

Of course, there are those who dare to do it.

Even in the 21st century, there are also those who are promoted with illness, but when a few first-class officials join forces, can they make a country bigger, and can they bully more than a billion people across the country!

When the circle of ** is getting bigger and bigger, it will be even more uncontainable, and it will be easier to be detected by the top, and then it will be wiped out.

If you are still worried, what if the cabinet is also **?

The emperor is also **?

Then there is no need to say it again, the people rebelled and changed the dynasty.

Where there is oppression, there is struggle.

As long as the successive emperors and cabinet ministers understand this, they will not allow the ** to breed expansion, and will not change the national system that has completed the transformation.

Of course, they will definitely understand, otherwise the "Jianwen Canon" will not be repaired in vain.

Of course, this also involves some independent logic of politics itself, as well as the repositioning of political relations in the bureaucratic world, which I will not write about here, first, it is more complicated, and it is more sensitive if you give examples.

Ge Lei reprimanded Ma Xin for saying 'do you believe it yourself' because both of them are senior military officers.

Military personnel are not allowed to participate in politics, but senior military officers must understand politics.

None of the two didn't understand, so Ge Lei was angry.

Until this time, Ma Xin was still hard-mouthed.

"There is no Five Military Mansion, it is the turn of the literati in this world, and I want to correct you a little, this world is neither a literati nor a martial artist, the world is the people's world, we are all part of the people, whether it is Xi Wen or the army, it is just a channel to serve the country, this point must be understood!"
