Chapter 090: Is there a shortage in Liaodong?
It's hard to interject in this high-level pragmatic way, so he can only say: "The ministers have received the favor of two generations of emperors, and this trip is just a ......"
"Eh, don't say these words, and there are no outsiders." Zhu Yijun interrupted directly: "But what? No one else can do better than you. ”
"But Tumen ran anyway." Gao Pragmatic sighed, and said as if it were true: "If the minister had been more decisive at that time, maybe Meng Yuan would have been gone by now." ”
Zhu Yijun shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily, if Meng Yuan was so easy to destroy, how did he survive in the past two hundred years?" Their Great Khan is not defeated once or twice, and dying a Great Khan does not mean that he will die, but I think your previous thoughts are the safest. We are all still young, just take it step by step, and there is no need to rush into any success.
As for whether it was decisive or not at that time, I don't think it's a problem, at that time, you chose to reorganize the remnants of Xin Ai first, which was a move to seek stability, Da Ming was not Meng Yuan, and it was right to seek stability. ”
Gao Pragmatic is very pleased, although Zhu Yijun is a young son of heaven, his heart is completely different from Zhengde back then, and it is also different from his imperial grandfather Jiajing, and he is already the kind that civil officials like.
Zhengde is not necessarily bad, and Jiajing may not be bad, but such an emperor will lead to a complete separation of imperial power and courtiers, and from the perspective of the entire country, it is a serious internal friction, which is very bad.
Just like Wanli in history, his "rebellion" is actually far inferior to Zhengde and Jiajing, but the trouble caused by the "national capital dispute" is still very big, which is a typical internal friction.
There are many reasons for the death of the Ming Dynasty, and internal friction must be one of the most important ones.
Unity is strength, this sentence is definitely not a simple slogan, but the truth.
Of course, it does not necessarily mean that the emperor should honestly obey the mercy of the civil official group and become the marionette of the civil official group.
In fact, politics should not be a zero-sum game in the first place, it should be and can only be the product of compromise, and politicians who do not know how to compromise will not succeed.
Unless you can really beat the whole world with your own strength, it's a pity that it can only be fantasy.
In history, no one can do this, and with the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties, they can't beat the world; Although Temujin was strong, he also died in the Western Xia.
When the British Empire was at its strongest, it was only an "offshore balancer"; Napoleon's crisscrossing of Europa was the same defeat to Moscow......
Moreover, strength itself comes first and foremost from internal unity.
Like Zhengde, the emperor and the courtiers are separated, and the monarchs and ministers have different dreams in the same bed, can they expect a prosperous era to appear?
Even if the emperor of the Ming Dynasty can do whatever he wants as long as he dares to be "shameless", but the courtiers can't oppose you on the surface, can't they still disobey the yang and the yin? In the final analysis, Zhengde's approach is just not enough.
Jiajing was originally better, but unfortunately he was more than smart, but his ambition was insufficient, and he didn't really want to become a generation of Ming Jun, but he fell astray, and he wanted to live forever, and finally became a joke.
Wanli ...... Historically, the evaluation has been polarized, and most people in later generations only look at the surface, or are influenced by certain writings, and only see the bad side; There are also many records that prove that he did a good job as an emperor.
But in any case, he failed to solve some deep-seated problems, such as the contradiction between the emperor and the civil officials, the conflict between the ancestral system and reality, and so on.
What Gao Pragmatic is pleased with now is that under his influence, Zhu Yijun is now obviously more mature than in history, at least he will not look at problems so simply, and he will not be so impatient in doing things, which is not easy for a young man who wants to prove himself.
"With the emperor's words, the ministers have nothing else to worry about." Gao Pragmatic sighed.
Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "I originally wanted you to go to Shanxi to preside over the township test, but now it seems that you have responded to your original words: the plan can't catch up with the changes." The situation in Mongolia has changed so much, and the focus of the court will definitely turn to Chahar's side next, but Liang Menglong can say that Zhou Yong is a person, and I always feel that his ability is a little insufficient......"
Liang Menglong is Zhang Juzheng's protégé, but his ability is good, Gao Gong did not move him back then, and he was also promoted all the way, Guo Pu also inherited the treatment of Gao Gong, and still maintains reuse, this person is now the governor of Jiliao.
In fact, Zhang Juzheng did not inform his sons of old grievances after stepping down, and it may also be because the Gao Party did not completely "clean up" his protégés - of course, not completely cleaning up does not mean that there is no clean up.
As for Zhou Yong, this person is the current governor of Liaodong, and he used to be Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple. On the whole, this person is basically without merit in Liaodong.
In fact, there are merits, but they are all Li Chengliang's military exploits, and he will inevitably share the profits as the governor of Liaodong - just like the leaders of later generations. But in fact, everyone knows that if you change the governor of Liaodong in the past, as long as you don't drag Li Chengliang back, these credits are all proper.
But officialdom has its own rules of officialdom, and since there is no mistake in people, even the emperor has no reason to masquerade people for no reason.
And as soon as Zhu Yijun said this, Gao Pragmatic knew what he meant-this is to make himself the governor of Liaodong?
This position itself, Gao Pragmatic thinks it is good, and if he goes to Liaodong, he can really do a lot of things. But there is a big problem here, how can he be qualified enough to be the governor of Liaodong?
A year ago, he was just a positive seventh! Two years ago he was white!
Gao pragmatic thought for a while and said, "Does the emperor want his ministers to go to Liaodong to help Zhou Junmen?" If this is the case, it may be possible to see if there is a shortage of Ningqian Deputy Military Envoy, Liaohai Military Preparedness Participation in Politics, or Liaodong Yuan Ma Siqing. ”
Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "Soldier Beidao? Not long ago, you commanded the troops of several towns, if you go to Liaodong now and only serve as a soldier...... It's not appropriate, it's not justified. ”
Ningqian Deputy Military Envoy, Liaohai Military Preparedness Politics or Liaodong Yuan Ma Siqing are all at the level of Bingbei Dao, the first two will know it at a glance, there is no need to explain more, the latter can be explained.
Liaodong Yuanma Temple, it sounds like a department responsible for managing military horses, this ...... It was true before, but later there were some changes unique to the Ming Dynasty, so that the position and another position of the military preparation road were combined into one, and a new position appeared, the full name of which was "the deputy envoy of the military garrison of the Tuntian Yuan Ma Temple".
Judging by this name, the armament is managed by Haizhou and Gaizhou.
In fact, more than that, in the thirty-first year of Jiajing, the military garrison or Liaodong Yuan Ma Siqing had already managed the three prefectures of Jin, Hai, and the three, and by the eighth year of Wanli, Fuzhou was also added, and it became the military garrison road that managed the entire Jin, Fu, Hai, and Gai prefectures - how big is this area?
Well, to put it simply, the entire "peninsula" area of the Liaodong Peninsula is under his control.
If it must be calculated according to the area, the jurisdiction of the military preparation road can probably account for about two-fifths of the entire Liaodong.
And the most important thing is that most of the coastal part of Liaodong is in his hands.
Gao pragmatic pondered and said: "Your Majesty, Zhou Yong has no fault and meritorious, Yi Zhi is afraid of being criticized, and the ministers are backward after learning, how can they suddenly occupy a high position?" Even when it comes to this battle exploits in Monan, it is the ultimate to be able to prepare for a soldier. In addition, if you go to Liaodong and serve on the seaside, you may be able to spread it. ”
Zhu Yijun was still frowning, and asked rhetorically: "But if you only do a military preparation, what about Li Chengliang?" ”
Okay, Li Chengliang has just made a great contribution under me, and you still have made up your mind to let him have a long memory? However, this is not impossible, after all, if he is allowed to do it like in history, Liaodong will deteriorate sooner or later.
As for me going to Liaodong to prepare for the army, is there no way to take Li Chengliang...... Hey!
