Changan.

"You're asking for too much!"

The water was too cold and said with a frown.

Huang Zongxi, those talents don't care if Zhang Guowei will convey it to them! They are not no one in Chang'an, and there is not only one Zhang Guowei in the Donglin Party, since Zhang Guowei is old and confused, it is better to replace him.

"Mu Zhaigong, this is just our proposal."

Zhu Zhiyu said with a smile.

"But even if it is a proposal, these things will make the Holy Driver dissatisfied, and it is easy to say anything else, even if you say that there are councils in the provinces, and the local advisory bureaus in Liangguang are also doing it, which can be said to be the general trend. But even the advisory bureau of Liangguang has no right to interfere in the appointment and dismissal of cabinet ministers, and with Yang Qingzhi's rampantness, it is only to restrict His Majesty's appointment and dismissal of cabinet ministers, but what are you, do you appoint and remove cabinet ministers for Your Majesty? ”

Gu Xichou said next to him.

He was also a little dissatisfied, these people obviously wanted too much, Yang Qing was not so ruthless!

"Ruiping Gong, there is nothing wrong with the Ming cabinet system, right?"

Zhu Zhiyu said.

Gu Xichou nodded.

The cabinet system is indeed no problem, this is the consensus of all ministers, and this system can be regarded as the best result of the evolution of the system in the past dynasties.

"Then why is there such a mess in the world?"

Zhu Zhiyu said.

Zhu Shunshui, who was originally going to almost ascend the altar in the Wa Kingdom in history, then said: "There is no problem with the cabinet system, so the problem is those cabinet ministers, the monarch director is virtuous, the country is safe, the monarch director is traitorous, the country is in danger, the cabinet ministers are virtuous and traitorous, and the monarch is single-minded, so how many virtuous ministers have been appointed by the emperors of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Gu Xichou didn't speak.

It's a really hard question to answer.

"I'm afraid not one out of ten, right? Take the Chongzhen Dynasty as an example, how many virtuous people are there? Most of them are mediocre and incompetent, and there is even no shortage of traitors, but such people want to govern the country, so why is the country not chaotic? The safety of the world is decided by the monarch's words, and the monarch will inevitably be blinded, not to mention that the monarch is also one out of ten. If you want to avoid the future of the cabinet ministers to be treacherous and so that the world is in chaos again, the best way is to limit the candidates, and the parliament representing all the people in the world will first screen for the monarch, and then hand over the selected virtuous ministers to the monarch to make the final decision.

This is the only way to ensure lasting peace in the world.

And the peace in the world will make the Ming country eternal, which is also a good thing for Your Majesty. ”

Zhu Zhiyu said sincerely.

"But Your Majesty won't think like this, in Your Majesty's opinion, what is the difference between your actions and Yang Qing? It's just taking advantage of the opportunity to blackmail. Even if you are right, you can also Xu Tuzhi in this matter, first establish this council and then slowly persuade Your Majesty, you are still too hasty! ”

Gu Xichou said.

"If it weren't for this, which emperor would have accepted it?"

Zhu Zhiyu said with a smile.

Gu Xichou was speechless, but he also knew that Zhu Zhiyu was right, if it weren't for this kind of time, which emperor would accept this condition? Even the parliament didn't think that a normal emperor would accept it, and only in this special case could it be possible to try to talk to the emperor about this kind of issue, otherwise it would be basically a rush to make such a request under normal circumstances. But they want too much, it's hard to talk about this matter, after Qian Qianyi came back, he just used Yang Qing's tricks to stimulate Long Xingtianzi, which is equivalent to slapping the loyal ministers in the face!

"Let's test it first!"

The water was too cold and said with a sigh.

"Then there is Lao Mu Zhai Gong, please Mu Zhai Gong to play the Sheng, Yang Qing may usurp the throne, but the council will always be loyal to the Shengshang."

Zhu Zhiyu said.

That's really their biggest strength.

It is indeed possible for a powerful minister like Yang Qing to usurp the throne, but the parliament will not, and neither will the cabinet ministers elected by the parliament, and there is nothing to usurp the throne as a vase, only the emperor with real power is attractive. But whoever wants to be the emperor of real power, the parliament will definitely be the first to refuse, as long as Zhu Cihong accepts the conditions and is willing to be a vase, then he can indeed be eternal.

But would he be willing to be a vase?

"Ma, it's more ruthless than me!"

Yang Qing, who was thousands of miles away, sighed.

Jin Yiwei's secret pile in the Zhejiang Guild Hall quickly reported the content of Huang Zongxi and others' requests to him, and I have to say that the appetite of these guys even Yang Qing was amazed.

"Aren't they afraid that the emperor will really come back, and one day he will really control the military power, and then settle accounts with them after the autumn, and directly behead these guys one by one? If I were the son of Longxing, then I would happily agree to them, and then sign a secret agreement with them, coaxing them to seize power together, and after seizing power, there will be a big prison, and Xiucai will rebel, after all, it is just a joke. ”

Li Yutian said with a smile.

"These are all recommended by the Zhejiang gentry, right?"

Huang Fei said.

What he meant was that there must be the support of the Zhejiang gentry behind these people, and the requirements of the Datong Society were the requirements of the Zhejiang gentry.

"When Huang Zunsu died, did the Zhejiang gentry do anything?"

Li Yutian said.

Huang Fei had nothing to say.

Indeed, when Huang Zongxi's father died, did the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang do anything?

"These people are the best to deal with, as long as there is an army to kill a few of the leaders, the others are all honest at once, they do like to make trouble, but they are also the most timid. There are too many worries about having a family and a job, and the poor are the most difficult to deal with, because the poor have nothing to lose, so as long as they are really forced to die, it will be a big deal to die with you. is willing to cut his body and dare to pull the emperor off the horse, but these people are different, they all have a family and a good life, and they are really keen to do things when they are idle, but they are all honest immediately at the moment of life and death! ”

Yang Qing said.

He really didn't take these people seriously.

are all a group of people with high eyes and low hands, and they are completely the same virtue as the well-known mouth cannon in modern times, what do such people care about?

The Zhejiang gentry shouted that he had been a traitor for four years!

The last time there was a large-scale shuanggui, there was no real resistance, Huizhou made such a big fuss, the militia really killed people and dispersed in an instant, even if the slave release order was announced, these guys would scold at most. I thought that they would work together to buy treasury bonds to welcome the emperor back and fight traitors, but when the treasury bonds were sold, no one bought them.

I have to say that even he is a little embarrassed.

His image of being a scheming strategy was actually hit continuously by the gentry, even if he had underestimated the discipline of these guys as much as possible, but he really didn't know until the time of the day......

Tama's, it's still overrated!

"Leave them alone, let's play ours!"

Yang Qing said.

"It's troublesome, the business can't be delayed, if nothing else, the brother in the letter will guess correctly, but according to the intelligence, things are not so simple, and our son of heaven is also making more preparations. It is difficult to say what will happen to Zhang Xianzhong, but Yang Zhan's Seventeenth Army is not so reliable after all, and the Seventeenth Army is transferred to the Shandong front, and the Thirteenth Army is transferred to Fuzhou. ”

Yang Qing continued.

He's going to have to start preparing.

The Ming army currently has seventeen infantry corps, of which the first, second, and third are the Guards, that is, the garrisons around Nanjing, the fourth to twelfth are the chariot infantry corps mainly used in the northern battlefield, and the thirteenth to seventeenth are the Gustav phalanx infantry, that is, the mountain infantry corps. In addition, the two same Gustav phalanx infantry corps of the Marine Corps, except that the First Brigade of the First Marine Corps under the Fuzhou Metropolitan Command has been changed to pure line infantry. In addition, there is a cavalry corps and four theater-level field heavy artillery brigades, which are all the land strength of the Ming army, as for the militia in various places, it is not among them, but if necessary, a total of thirty militia corps will complete the mobilization after receiving the order.

And stationed west of the Three Gorges was the 17th Army.

This was originally composed of Grandma Qin's subordinates and Yang Zhan, who was unwilling to follow Zhang Xianzhong, and Ma Gan's two Sichuan armies, the command was Yang Zhan, and the deputy commander was Grandma Qin's nephew.

Ma Gan changed to governor of Guizhou.

But this is not Yang Qing's direct cronies.

If Zhang Xianzhong joined the alliance and tried to go east, he did not dare to guarantee that Yang Zhan would eventually fall to the emperor of Longxing, so he transferred this army and replaced it with the thirteenth army, which was composed of the vast majority of those shanty people back then, as well as the Huangzhuang soldiers who were adapted from the land of the Jiangxi vassal king.

These are all fanatical followers of Yang Qing.

They were stationed in Fuzhou, enough to lock Zhang Xianzhong from Chongqing to the south, although Zhang Xianzhong can bypass this point, but can only be bypassed by partial divisions, the main force is impossible, if only with partial divisions bypass, it will not be able to pass Yiling. And Jingzhou also has the Eleventh Army, which is also considered a fanatic believer in Yang Qing, this is the Chariot Infantry Army, Anlu has another army, this is also the Chariot Infantry Army, and the Wuchang Metropolitan Department is subordinate to these three infantry corps to warn Zhang Xianzhong and Jin Shenghuan of possible abnormal movements.

"Transfer Huang Degong back to Nanjing, and the second brother will go to Wuchang to replace him."

Yang Qing said to Huang Fei.

Huang Degong should be transferred back, so as not to make it difficult for him to do it in the future.

Huang Fei nodded.

He is now the chief of the logistics department, a first-class fat difference, but at this time, he doesn't care about this, Huang Degong's status is as high as him, and Huang Degong must have a general director when he is transferred back to Nanjing.

"Then order all the armies of the Huguang militia to be transferred to the second-level combat readiness."

Immediately afterwards, Yang Qing said again.

There are three levels of militia combat readiness in various localities, which at this time is the third level, that is, a militia brigade maintains the full strength of one battalion, the second level of combat readiness is the full strength of two battalions, the first level is the full strength of three battalions, and the state of war is the full strength of the whole brigade. Huguang is the highest in Huangzhuang, and the number of militias is second only to Nanzhili, with a total of eight militia corps, and this order means that more than 100,000 militiamen are transferred to active duty, plus three regular armies, which is enough to deal with the Western Front.

As for the northern line......

"All the garrisons along the second line of Huai have been transferred to a state of imminent battle."

Yang Qing said.

The Ming army added the cavalry army to the first line in the north and the strength of six armies, and along the second line of the three armies of Huai, it turned into a state of imminent battle, that is, all the vacations were all returned to the camp to standby.

Nine armies were enough to sober Dorgon.

There is also the southern route......

"The Third Guards Army reinforces Ganzhou."

Yang Qing said.

The Huguang militia includes the southern front, so that the Hengyang Metropolitan Division does not need reinforcements, and the reinforcement of Ganzhou by the Third Guards Army is enough to block the Jiangxi line, and the militia in Jiangxi does not need to be transferred to the second level of combat readiness. Spring is about to begin, and the agricultural production of Jiangxi's granary cannot be delayed.
