Chapter 503 - The Sky is Leisurely, Why Is It Weaker Than Me (First Update, Ask for Subscription)
The ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty?
What is the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty has been corrupted too much by the emperors of the past dynasties for so many years, from the vassal king leading the troops to guard the center to the confinement of the vassal king in the palace, prohibiting him from making friends with officials, especially military generals. After Yu Qian seized power in the Tumubao Change, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies was set up, and he had to live by looking at the face of the military department, and no matter how awesome the military attache was, he had to rely on the civilian officials.
When you say that when they seized power, did they say that the ancestral system could not be done?
It must not have been said that for them, when the ancestral system is beneficial, it is not violated. When it is unfavorable, it is to abide by the old rules and change them! Anyway, in a word, the mouth is on them, and it's all up to him to fart or not.
Is the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty good? Zhu Guoqiang himself can't say clearly, but one thing is for sure, "restoring the ancestral system" is a flag in his hand.
No matter how big Chongzhen is, he is not Emperor Gao, and no matter how orthodox he is, he is not Emperor Gao.
Since Emperor Gao is orthodox, let's pull Emperor Gao out now and let Emperor Gao endorse him.
"If they are allowed to force each other in the name of orthodoxy, then the political prestige of the prince will be gone, and in the future, even if the prince is forced to seize the throne with military power, then in the eyes of the outside world, it is not right! The prince of the world has made great achievements, can you be willing to have such a reputation? ”
"The use of Emperor Gao is the most important bargaining chip we can grasp in our hands, only by playing the flag of Emperor Gao, can the prince get the name of orthodoxy in a dignified manner, and with this name, can the people of the world not think that the prince is a rebel minister......"
"The prince is a distant domain, even if the emperor dies, there is still the crown prince, there is the Fu Wang line, and there are other close domains, no matter how it is the turn of the prince. But...... Orthodox! The prince can take out Emperor Gao, which is to restore the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, which is not only the feudal king leading the troops, but also all kinds of other destroyed ...... From Emperor Taizu Gao, there is no lineage, there is only one, that is, Emperor Gao's bloodline, the prince restored Emperor Gao's ancestral system, and it is Emperor Gao's bloodline, so he naturally should inherit the unification! Orthodox! Restoring the ancestral system of Emperor Gao is the greatest orthodoxy! ”
"Maybe we will let the vassal king lead the army, but we have no choice, the lesser of two evils!"
"The name doesn't seem to be very important, but in fact, the name is more important than anything else, and with this name, no one can question the prince anymore! The son of the world is not an inheritance, not a usurpation, but a reconstruction, is a restoration, Emperor Gao restored China, recreated China, and the son of the world is to restore the Ming Dynasty and recreate the country, so who dares to question the so-called orthodoxy? ”
“……”
Their analysis cannot be said to be unreasonable.
Moreover, Zhu Guoqiang also knows that he absolutely can't stand the doubts of others about his "orthodoxy", he doesn't have the time and energy to spend his whole life fighting for "orthodoxy" like Zhu Di, and it is impossible to tolerate all this.
For him, there are only two results, either kill and use a knife to silence the voice of doubt, but he doesn't want to do this, at least he doesn't plan to kill people for a "name".
Another option is to create a "righteousness" and an "orthodoxy", why is Zhu Yuanzhang the most righteous in winning the country?
He expelled the Tartars and restored China!
And what about yourself?
As a descendant of Emperor Taizu, even if it is a fake, as long as you grasp a great righteousness, you will definitely be able to create an orthodoxy, as long as you have this orthodoxy, even if it is only in name, it is still orthodox, orthodoxy that cannot be questioned.
However, before going to Nanjing, there were other things to be done - such as the training and reorganization of the 200,000 Zuojia army and the 200,000 Liukou army and the local mastery.
Back then, Li Zicheng would lose the world, to put it bluntly, he did not manage the territory well and did not consolidate the place, Zhu Guoqiang would never make a similar mistake.
Therefore, as soon as Wuchang was conquered here, it immediately sent people to spread the word to all parts of Huguang - the officials were still in their original positions, asking them to pacify the displaced people in the territory and eliminate the remnants of the local soldiers.
This made the local officials breathe a sigh of relief. It seems that this prince is also very easy to get along with.
Since the news of Zuo Liangyu's beheading in the army came out, some officials in Huguang have taken the initiative to show favor to him, and some people have taken the initiative to join him, which is naturally a good thing, Zhu Guoqiang will never be the enemy of all officials, as long as they abide by the law and do things seriously, their future is still bright!
Considering the temper of this prince who is "jealous and hateful", the officials are also doing their best to do their errands, and they have introduced policies to appease the displaced people. For a while, Huguang, which had been plagued by the scourge of rogue soldiers for several years, finally stopped.
……
Just after the New Year Festival of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, with the pacification of the Liukou, the original Xiaose River once again appeared on the boats from all over the country, and Wuchang, which was devastated by the war, finally showed some vitality.
On this day, under the city of Wuchang, a small boat came, and when the ship entered Wuchang, the old man dressed as a merchant on the ship couldn't help but sigh.
"I never thought that after a few months, I would be able to see this prosperous scene again!"
He pointed to the water post wharf under Wuchang City, and said to Wang Shikuan beside him with joy,
"You see there are so many boats here, they're almost there."
Following the master's side, Wang Shikuan stood at the bow of the boat, looked up, and sure enough, he saw a dense number of ships docked near the dock, and he said with a smile.
"Yes, this rogue has been pacified, and everyone dares to come out to do business!"
"General To's blessing, the world is finally too peaceful today."
The owner stroked his beard and said with a sigh.
"If the imperial court asked the general to come over when the general wrote last year, how could Zhang Tian's killer kill all the way to Changsha and kill so many people!"
The owner's words made the old man nod his head approvingly, he was the blockage in his heart! If the general had come a few months earlier, why would he have fallen to this point!
At the beginning, he was the governor of Huguang, although Wuchang was lost, he could be regarded as a feudal ambassador stationed in Yuanzhou, but now it is good, he can only hide his name and sneak back to his hometown.
Since leaving Yuanzhou, the days of wandering in the past few months have been so hard!
But what really worries him?
It's life!
According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, those who escape from the battle should be beheaded!
Isn't it just an escape? In case he was discovered, he thought to himself, and he commanded the shipper.
"Boatman, don't stay overnight in Wuchang, let's go directly into the Han River."
"Owner, it's already dark this day, let's rest overnight in Wuchang today!"
The shipowner's words made his face change slightly, and the guard beside him said softly when he saw this.
"Master, just relax, after passing Wuchang, the boat can go to the Han River, and then go all the way upstream, you can go back to your hometown in Shaanxi, and you can't miss anything overnight."
As the master's personal guard, Wang Shikuan certainly knew what the master was thinking, so he said with relief, and just as his words fell, suddenly, an officer and soldier jumped onto the boat.
"Where are you from?"
The leading captain asked, looking at the man in front of him, who didn't look like a businessman.
"Back to the military master, our lord is a Henan businessman, last year because of the rebellion of the Liukou, was blocked in Changsha, I heard that the general pacified the Liukou, so he hired a boat to return to his hometown, this is all the blessing of the general!"
Wang Shikuan replied with a bent waist.
"I didn't ask you, I asked him!"
The leading officer and soldier looked at the man in front of him and asked.
"Are you from Henan?"
"Yes, yes, it's from Xichuan, Henan."
"Xichuan people...... How to pronounce these two words. ”
Looking at the piece of paper taken out by the official army, and looking at the word "circle" on the paper, he said casually.
"Ququ ......"
As soon as his words fell, I saw that the man immediately drew his knife and put it on Wang Jukui's neck,
"Come on, take him down!"
In an instant, Wang Jukui was so frightened that he was sweating and his mouth was dry. The people on the boat were stunned.
"Official, what does this mean, official?"
"Ququ, good you Ququ, only Shaanxi people read it like this? Merchant, I think you are a thief! ”
Hearing this, Wang Jukui, whose face was like ashes, wanted to cry without tears.
"The sky is long, how thin is it to me!"
Then he said.
"That's it, that's it, I'm Wang Jukui, the former governor of Hubei, and I ask the general to report on my behalf."
