Chapter 11 Conditions

Ma Shiying's age is almost ten years older than Liu Kongzhao, but now that he even calls out "Brother Kong Zhao", you can imagine how much impact the matter of the edict of the prison has had on him.

And Liu Kongzhao is a martial artist, no matter whether the thing can be done or not, he promised first: "Brother Yaocao, it will definitely be no problem to leave this matter to me!"

It's just that he quickly said the problem that he couldn't solve: "But the story of the dynasty, the lords are not allowed to participate in the meeting!"

According to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, such a major event as entering the cabinet has always been jointly promoted by officials above the third rank in Beijing, but a martial artist like Chengyi Bo is not eligible to participate in the meeting.

And Ma Shiying immediately laughed: "There is such a thing, but before the enthronement ceremony of the prison country began, Shi Kefa, in order to avoid civil and military disharmony, allowed the governor's mansion of the five armies to push the ministers together!"

The governor's mansion of the five armies is full of ministers, and Shi Kefa can be said to have made great concessions to the ministers, and Liu Kongzhao has already understood: "Presumably, Shi Da Sima promised a lot of things to Wei Guogong and Xin Chengbo, and if you want to overwhelm everything with the voice of the lords, this matter is not so easy!"

The reason why Ma Shiying invited Liu Kongzhao over is also worried about this, although the sincerity of the Earl Mansion is only a mere earl, but its status in the southern capital is relatively special, and Liu Kongzhao is famous for being able to toss, and when the time comes, he will be able to turn defeat into victory.

However, Wang Sunfan felt that this matter was a little inappropriate: "The lord's non-attendance is the story of the dynasty, and Shi Kefa and Zhang Shenyan are confused!"

Wang Sunfan felt that Shi Kefa and Zhang Shenyan had set a very bad precedent, and as soon as this case was opened, I was afraid that in the future, Nandu Xungui would find an excuse for personnel appointment.

And Liu Yongxi also interjected and said: "Shi Kefa and Zhang Shenyan are both smart people, how can they be confused, they just want to fool the lords first, but unfortunately the lords are not so easy to fool!"

All the Guizhou Township Party members present here have heard the name of Xiao Chengyi Liu Yongxi, and they also know that he was a young man who escorted Zhang Niangniang to the south, and he was most trusted by Empress Yi'an Zhang, but his impression of him was also limited to this.

Now I heard Liu Yongxi analyze the benefits and disadvantages of the minister's participation in the meeting, and the specific issues he talked about, everyone had not thought of it before, and they were all interested.

Over there, Ma Shiying's brother-in-law, Yue Qijie, asked, "Little Uncle Chengyi, why aren't you so fooled?" ”

Liu Yongxi immediately asked: "This time the prison country ascended the throne, the most damaged in the entire Nanjing City is the lords, how can Shi Kefa and Zhang Shenyan fool all the lords and ministers in a few words, they can only appease Wei Guogong and Xin Chengbo at most." ”

Yue Qijie can be regarded as a figure who has experienced countless battles and even served as a soldier, but Liu Yongxi really didn't understand when he said this: "Little Chengyibo, how do you say this?" ”

Liu Yongxi was naturally sharp: "Nanjing was originally the territory where the lords overpowered the ministers, but what did the edict promise to the lords and ministers, it was just a promise that the money and grain due would not change, but the ministers were completely different, and the southern capital would be the world of the ministers in the future!"

As soon as Liu Yongxi said this, these Guizhou Township Party members all understood.

Liu Yongxi's statement that "Nanjing is the territory where the forces of the lords overpower the ministers" is naturally an exaggeration, although the lords, including the Chengyi Bofu, have always been lawless in Nanjing, but it is the tradition of this dynasty to emphasize literature over military force since the orthodoxy, and Nanjing is still the civil ministers who have overpowered the ministers.

However, the Nanjing Garrison Department has always been composed of the Nanjing Military Department Shangshu, the Nanjing Garrison Lords and the Nanjing Garrison Eunuchs, and the Lords also held many important military positions, so their status and power could naturally be fully guaranteed.

However, after King Fu supervised the country, the situation in the southern capital changed, from the capital to the capital, not only will the cabinet be formed, but the original extremely streamlined six ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and other power departments will also be fully expanded, and the power of the civil servants will naturally completely override the nobles.

Although the lords are still the lords, the edict of the superintendent does not guarantee their original power and status, but only guarantees the money they deserve, so although Shi Kefa, Lu Daqi, and Zhang Shenfang can appease Wei Guogong and Xin Chengbo, they cannot appease all the lords.

Liu Kongzhao didn't expect his eldest son to say such a paragraph, so after Liu Yongxi finished speaking, he clapped his hands and applauded: "Yongxi said it too well, I can't be fooled by Shi Kefa's words, I don't think he can do the promise he gave me at all!"

It wasn't until now that everyone knew that there had been contact between Shi Kefa and Liu Kongzhao, but everyone thought about it carefully and felt normal.

Ruan Dacheng, who Shi Kefa and Donglin everyone shouted and fought, still sang poems and harmony, not to mention the sincerity of Liu Kongzhao, the commander of the Southern Capital of the Jiangshui Division, Shi Kefa also assisted Liu Kongzhao in revising an ancient book left by Liu Bowen during the Apocalypse, so he would naturally show his sincerity to Liu Kongzhao.

Ma Shiying felt that the idea of inviting Liu Kongzhao over was extremely wise, and he immediately asked: "Uncle Chengyi, what conditions did Judicial Shi Da say?" ”

Liu Kongzhao also said very frankly: "Shi Kefa said that he would set up a river defense division, with a number of 50,000 soldiers, add two towns, draw land and divide defense, and I will still supervise the river defense!"

Although Ma Shiying is very deep in the city, he also feels that it is indeed difficult for Liu Kongzhao to refuse Shi Kefa's conditions at this moment.

Under Liu Kongzhao's command, there were the 3rd Battalion of the Caojiang River at the mouth of the Xinjiang Estuary and the 7th Battalion of the Patrol River in the upper reaches of Nanjing, with a strength of nearly 10,000 troops, but the 10th Battalion of the Naval Division was really in Liu Kongzhao's hands only the 3rd Battalion of the Caojiang River and the Taiping Battalion, the closest to Nanjing, and the strength was only 3,000 or 4,000 people.

And now Shi Kefa's plan is to increase the number of troops under Liu Kongzhao's command by at least five times, and the number of sailors under Liu Kongzhao's personal leadership will be increased by at least seven or eight times, and there are even two more general vacancies, but it is precisely because the conditions are too generous that Liu Kongzhao does not dare to accept Shi Kefa's conditions.

But Liu Yongxi glanced at Wang Sun Fan beside him and said: "Uncle Sun Fan, no matter who Shi Kefa sends to be the imperial history of Caojiangdu, our sincere Bofu will definitely beat him out, but you are the only one who is different!"

Only then did Wang Sunfan understand what kind of tricks Shi Kefa's conditions hid, and he also felt that Liu Yongxi had given himself enough face: "Although I now think that it may not be a good idea to abolish the imperial history of the Jiangdu, but since the commander of the Jiangdu is the commander of the Jiangdu, then I will definitely not fight for the imperial history of the Jiangdu!"

The Guizhou Township Party present finally understood why Liu Kongzhao refused Shi Kefa's very generous conditions.

According to the practice of this dynasty, there is a civil and military battle of Caojiang, Wencao Jiang is the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate Caojiang Imperial History, Wu Caojiang is Caojiang Xunchen, both of them have the rank of commander and have a personal control of the troops, naturally forming a situation of mutual containment, and Caojiang Imperial History most of the time the status is above Caojiang Xunchen.

However, when Liu Kongzhao was supervising Caojiang, he specially asked Emperor Chongzhen to unify the power and let the ministers take charge of the Jiangjiang full-time, and Emperor Chongzhen abolished the imperial history of Caojiang according to Liu Kongzhao's suggestion despite the opposition of the ministers.

For Sincerity, this is an unprecedented glorious victory.
