Chapter Eighty-Eight: Pilot Reform of Health Centers

Zhou Chen's voice was the loudest, and he was the first to say: "Your Majesty, Weichen obeys the order." ”

It's just that all of them came down, and for a time they couldn't say a single reason for what they could do to open the mine without harming the people, or they couldn't form a unified opinion.

Each has its own reason.

However, the premise of all their plans was to remove the eunuchs.

Yang Pu glanced at Zhu Qizhen and said: "Today's matter, there is no one result to be discussed, after you go back, you will play your own book, and it will not be too late to discuss it in the future." ”

The reason why Yang Pu is like this is that he is worried that he will dig out a piece of meat from the inner court, and he is worried that the emperor will not agree.

After all, Zhou Chen had already made a ruthless move on the finances of the inner court, so that the silver in the inner treasury had been fluctuating up and down tens of millions of taels.

Although the Taicang silver treasury of the household department is frequently transported in and out, the silver stored in the warehouse every year is several times that of the inner treasury.

This has already dug a big knife, and if the mining tax is dug up from the inner treasury, it will be a little too much.

The ministers below may not have this concept, and even in their minds, all the money and grain should be placed in the household department, the emperor should be simple and economical, the palace should not have so much money, and the money should be used for state affairs.

And the emperor doesn't have enough money, so he can ask the household department.

We are the faithful servants of His Majesty, and we will not withhold it.

Yang Pu is about to reconcile from the middle.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Since Shoufu said so, let's talk about the next one." ”

Xu Xi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was the first to bombard the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and said directly: "The Jianning Xingdu Division is simply useless, when the thieves first started, there were less than 2,000 people, and it was just a mountain thief. ”

Zhang Fu had no choice but to excuse himself in the face of the accusations of the Ministry of War.

Zhu Qizhen immediately comforted: "Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, the southern soldiers are useless, it didn't start today, today's deliberations are to solve the problem, no longer who is right and who is wrong?" ”

Xu Xi accepted it when he saw it, and said: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, it is still not possible for the imperial court to send the Qing army to the imperial history before, and someone should be sent to be responsible for managing the guard and forming a system." In order to prepare for the rectification of military affairs and to be used by His Majesty. ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he immediately shook his head in his heart. He looked at Zhang Fu, Zhang Fu was such a calm person, his face changed slightly, and then his face showed bitterness, and he didn't know where to start for a while.

But Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, didn't care about the opinions of civil officials, and said: "Your Majesty, how does the rotten Confucian know about military affairs? ”

Xu Xi immediately went back and said: "Chengguo Gong is a prince, hereditary disregard, retired with the country, and sits in the governor's mansion of the five armies, and now there are thousands of thieves, causing trouble in the three provinces, affecting the seven provinces, and the cost of silver is nearly 100

There are so many thousands, Cheng Guogong holds the military plane in his hand, and he would rather be worthy of it? ”

Cheng Guogong was also speechless for a while.

In the final analysis, this incident is the fault of the military.

However, the policy mentioned by Xu Xi is absolutely unacceptable to the military.

The policy that Xu Xi said has now had a prototype, but it has been carried forward in later generations, that is, the military preparation road, in the late Ming Dynasty, the local military control from the military preparation road, governors, governors, and superintendents. In particular, there is almost no concern in all aspects of military discipline, logistics, and military discipline.

This allowed the civilian officials to completely control the army.

The real large-scale setting of the military preparation road was during the Jiajing period. Now the nobles of the Ming Dynasty, who have not yet died, how can they be willing to give up their power.

Therefore, even if Cheng Guogong knows that he is unreasonable, he must fight for what should be argued.

Cheng Guogong ignored Xu Xi and said: "Your Majesty, the Fujian Guard is incompetent, and the minister is willing to go to Fujian to rectify, please ask Your Majesty for permission." ”

Zhu Qizhen really wanted to be gracious for a while. He sent Cheng Guogong to Fujian from afar.

But this idea only existed in Zhu Qizhen's heart for a moment. He understands very well that Cheng Guogong is only a representative of the Jingnan Xungui group, and it does not mean that if Cheng Guogong is dismissed, this group will no longer exist.

Zhu Qizhen smiled slightly and said, "Why did Guogong say this? The affairs of Fujian are not indispensable to the national government, but the affairs of the nine sides are indispensable to the national government. ”

After Zhu Qizhen appeased Cheng Guogong, he said to Xu Xi: "Since there is already a history of the Qing army, wouldn't it be superfluous to set up a member." However, the rectification also needs to be rectified, I think that there is no need for the Jianning Xingdu Division to exist, and the Jianning Xingdu Division is abolished, and the Fujian Dusi is not the same. Guo Deng was appointed as the commander of the Fujian Metropolitan and ordered him to check the personnel of the Fujian Health Centers. Re-arrangement, the old and weak can be released from the military, the number is not enough, and the strong men are recruited in Fujian again. ”

Zhu Qizhen seems to be making peace with the mud, but it is to implement what he has secretly done first, that is, to increase the mobility of the army, the army of the Daming Guard, father and son, inbreeding, it is strange if it can be good.

Zhu Qizhen is going to use Fujian as a pilot and wants to test it in the health center, so that people can move inside and outside. Relax the conditions for the elimination of military status.

In other words, many people can quit the military if they don't want to be soldiers.

Cheng Guogong's glasses flashed, and he stopped talking, and he secretly said in his heart: "Your Majesty, I still don't know the disadvantages below, I'm afraid that the soldiers can quit the army, and I'm afraid that the soldiers below will be scattered." ”

Cheng Guogong looked down on Zhu Qizhen too much.

How could Zhu Qizhen not know that the low-level soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were suffering

They are simply slaves of officers, and slaves for generations. Almost never able to turn over, the land is encroached upon, the food is embezzled, and they are still required to go into battle to kill the enemy, is it possible?

Ask a group of people who have nothing to call Hanako, protect their families and defend the country, what is there

It's even funnier than that.

Zhu Qizhen is not unaware that once this method is tried, a large number of soldiers will flee. But Zhu Qizhen did not regret it. Because only those who leave the army will regret it.

There are some opportunities that only a few people can enjoy.

Since Zhu Qizhen wants to use a knife in the military system, he will never let public opinion form any good men who do not strike iron. Nor does he seek to raise an army of three million, which does not cost a penny.

As long as he can maintain a combat-effective army, then even if the annual military expenditure is high, Zhu Qizhen is willing.

In any case, the military expenditure of an agrarian society is not worth mentioning in an industrial society, and as long as it promotes social development and the dividends of social development, the proportion of military expenditure in the country's total income will become smaller and smaller.

Therefore, to escape from the army, they only have no vision.

Zhu Qizhen has not yet thought about how to reshape the military system, but in general, it is mainly based on the two parts of the garrison and the soldiers, and the guard system will not be abolished, at least in many places far away, the guards are already the main garrison force of the Ming Dynasty, but as the Beijing battalion, that is, the field army, Zhu Qizhen wants to adopt the recruitment system or the conscription system to maintain a field army of five or six hundred thousand people for full training.

It is Zhu Qizhen's total goal.

And many guards in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty will be among the abolished, since they cannot provide combat power for the imperial court, after changing to a county, they can also pay a little tax for the imperial court.

However, the premise of all this is that Zhu Qizhen wants to gain the power to do whatever he wants in the army.

In other words, that is how Zhu Qizhen turned the Jingnan Xungui group, which has always controlled the army, into the hereditary group of guards officers with them as the core.

Before that, Zhu Qizhen had to be careful in everything he did.

If not, the Fujian Weisuo Army was too weak in this matter, and Zhu Qizhen would not be able to take advantage of the trend to promote such a reform. Even if it's a pilot.

After the two things have been discussed, the rest of the time is a small section, such as the exemption from taxes in the affected provinces. Many of these officials who performed well were promoted, including Yang Rong's son.

Zhu Qizhen's goal was achieved, so he nodded yes. Be good as flowing.

After Zhu Qizhen returned, he immediately wrote a secret letter to Guo Deng, in which he asked him to explain in detail the release of the military registration and the recruitment of soldiers. He thought about it, and asked people to prepare a box, a silver seal, and let people give it to Guo Deng.

With this box sealed and stamped with a silver seal, it can go straight to Ouchi, and no one can cut it. Each of the cabinet members of such a box has one, ensuring that the inside and outside are not blocked by others.

In fact, Yongzheng's secret folding system also originated from this.

"Your Majesty, Yang Shoufu is here." Zhu Qizhen had just finished doing this thing, and when he heard someone say, Zhu Qizhen secretly said in his heart: "Sure enough, it's here." ”

"Please."
