Chapter 48 Zhang Juzheng's layout
Zhu Yijun also knows what the situation is at sea now, the pirates are rampant, plus the Spaniards, the Portuguese, the Dutch, and the British are rampant, and the good people can't do it, and the criminals can, and they can easily develop into an armed group at sea.
Zhu Yijun doesn't care about this, as long as the country's navy is strong enough, Zhu Yijun even dares to use pirates along the coast of the Ming Dynasty.
It developed into a maritime armed group similar to that of the East India Company, doing everything from trading, looting, and developing colonies. Zhu Yijun has long planned to go to Southeast Asia to grab grain, you must know that during the Xiaoice River period, food is king!
Liang Menglong was also rewarded for opening the sea, and at the same time changed to patrol Henan, Zhu Yijun felt that there was a conspiracy when he saw this.
Soon after Liang Menglong was transferred, there was an accident at sea, because his typhoon grain ship capsized, lost a lot of grain, and fifteen shipwrights died, so there was an imperial envoy to impeach, and then the sea transportation was abolished.
Zhu Yijun didn't know what was going on, but he subconsciously felt that there was something greasy in it.
After all, everyone can see the convenience of shipping, because some natural disasters are very shipping, which is due to choking and waste food. There must be someone behind this matter, maybe the shipwreck is all man-made, but what the truth of the matter is, it can only be drowned in the haze of history.
However, Zhu Yijun is interested in Liang Menglong's experience, he can play the sea, and he is a talent in this era.
After reading the information of the three people, Zhu Yijun found that these three people were all Zhang Juzheng's people, and he couldn't help but sigh that Zhang Juzheng's promotion was really talented. Although there may be a loss in the subsection, the environment of Daming is like this, and the gifts sent are indispensable.
But Zhu Yijun doesn't care, it's good to be able to do things for himself, if he wants to purge the government one day, it will have to wait until the reform is completed.
Now what is there to purge the officials, unless Zhu Yijun's head is broken.
If it is really done, it will not only cause a big wave of publicity, but at the same time, it will be useless, and it will eventually be implemented in the system.
The three Zhang Juzheng people, it can be seen that Zhang Juzheng's current power and control of officialdom, although he is far away in Jiangling, but no one has jumped out to do things. Zhu Yijun originally thought that Zhang Siwei would do things, but he didn't expect this guy to behave like a pioneer.
Liang Menglong, the governor of Jiliao, was recommended by Zhang Siwei, and he highly recommended it, so it can be seen that this guy is also a ruthless person!
Putting aside the three documents in his hand, Zhu Yijun's face flashed a trace of hesitation, why don't you get Liang Menglong over? But thinking about it, Zhu Yijun gave up, now is not the time!
Although the sea is beautiful, it can be opened if it is opened!
Besides, Liaodong is not very peaceful now, and there will be a war at both ends in three days, and now there are Li Chengliang and Qi Jiguang in Wu, and Liang Menglong in Wen, so it's better not to break it for the time being. Otherwise, Liaodong will be eroded prematurely, and it will be a big trouble.
Reaching out to pick up Fang Fengshi's information, Zhu Yijun directly put the information aside, it was him.
However, before solving the military department Shangshu, there are still two people to solve, these two people are Shen Shixing and Ma Ziqiang.
Ma Ziqiang's current official position is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Juzheng's hardcore confidant, which can be seen from Ma Ziqiang's promotion path. Originally, Ma Ziqiang was a James of the James Mansion, and was promoted by Zhang Juzheng to be a waiter in the Ministry of Rites.
Not long after, Ma Ziqiang went to the Ministry of Officials, and his official position was the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, completing the transformation from a minister to a real power department.
After two months as a servant of the Ministry of Rites, he was transferred to the Ministry of Rites, and the speed of promotion can be said to be a rocket. Before Zhang Juzheng left, he recommended Ma Ziqiang to join the cabinet, this time it was not a rocket, it was simply a promotion at the speed of light.
With the foundation and capital of Ma Ziqiang, let alone a cabinet scholar, he is not qualified to be a secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
Obviously, Zhang Juzheng is looking for a henchman and puppet, throwing it into the cabinet will not affect his power, and at the same time, he can also show his generosity and not greedy for power, and more importantly, give his subordinates a signal, follow me, there is a future.
Qualifications and everything are floating clouds, as long as you are loyal to me, it will be a piece of cake in the cabinet.
The second person is Shen Shixing, and Shen Shixing's promotion path is the one that Ming officials envy the most. In the imperial examination, Shen Shixing won the top spot in high school, overwhelming a large area, which was the ideal of the literati.
entered the Hanlin Academy as the champion, and then went from the revision to the left concubine, assisted in the Hanlin Academy, and then promoted the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites. After becoming the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, he directly turned from a fictitious position to a real position and became the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites.
Before Zhang Juzheng went home, he recommended Shen Shixing to enter the cabinet, and it was clear that Shen Shixing would be in charge of the ministry with the respect of a cabinet scholar.
After what happened to Zhang Han, Zhang Juzheng urgently needed to have his own people in the ministry, and Shen Shixing was enough.
Basically, no one objected to Zhang Juzheng's arrangement, and it was useless for the imperial envoy to shout or anything, this was a personnel appointment, and it was not under their control, but Shen Shixing and Ma Ziqiang were very clean.
It's not that these two people are incorruptible, but there is little chance of corruption.
Both of them were born in the Hanlin Academy, and the Hanlin Master of the Hanlin Academy was a Qing nobleman, mainly responsible for repairing books and teaching lessons to the emperor and the crown prince. It sounds lofty, but it doesn't have much real power, and it doesn't get any benefits.
Qing Hanlin, that is, the meaning of poor Hanlin, Hanlin Yuan is definitely the Qingshui Yamen inside the Qingshui Yamen.
There are no major political mistakes, no economic mistakes, and with the support of Zhang Juzheng, and the high-level does not oppose support, the entry of these two people into the cabinet has become inevitable. The entry of these two people into the cabinet represents the official completion of Zhang Juzheng's control of the six ministries and the cabinet.
The entire real power department of the Ming Dynasty was all in the hands of Zhang Juzheng, and since then the power has been overwhelming.
However, Zhu Yijun knows that a large part of Zhang Juzheng is an illusion, although these people follow Zhang Juzheng on the surface, in fact, whether it is Zhang Siwei or Shen Shixing, these two people are anti-reform.
The person who knows you best is your opponent, with these two people by your side, they can be said to be clear about Zhang Juzheng's affairs, and later they retaliated more thoroughly. swept away Zhang Juzheng's forces and abolished his new law, which was done very cleanly.
Zhang Juzheng's ten years of hard work were lost in one fell swoop, and he ended up dying alone.
Zhu Yijun also thought about abolishing Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing in advance, but after thinking about it, he gave up, this idea is too naïve and unrealistic. If you come up with another one, you know that he must support reform? It's simply not realistic.
Emperor Chongzhen kept changing cabinet scholars and six books, but the people who came up were not the same, and finally made the courtiers and the emperor deviate from morality, but troublesome. It's better to put them here, know it yourself, and be on guard.
