The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

In the distance, there was a deafening cheer, which was the excitement of the remaining guards when they heard Yan Yingyuan's arrangement.

The mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.

It's probably the mood of the guards at the moment.

Qin Haoming smiled slightly, the salary system he formulated was originally a bit ahead of its time, and it was tantamount to gospel for these deeply exploited guards.

Not to mention anything else, just three meals a day, in the era of serious food shortages, I don't know how many people's hearts can be saved.

The things were ordered one by one, and Qin Haoming made proper arrangements left and right, so he and his guards and others went to the governor's mansion in the city.

As soon as he returned to the mansion and sat still, Governor Zhang Kentang came to the door to ask for a meeting.

Please go to the side hall and sit down with two people.

"Governor Qin, Ben Fu thinks that you have removed all the tens of thousands of military men, I am afraid that this move is a little inappropriate?"

Zhang Kentang said with a worried face.

Qin Haoming thought he was going to talk about murder, but it turned out to be this thing, and asked:

"What's wrong? I saw only empty quotas, but no soldiers, so I was naturally removed. ”

"Governor Qin, although there are many vacancies in the register, there are also a lot of real numbers. Now that these people have been directly removed, without this salary, how can these people make a living?

Without a livelihood, there are naturally many traitors and criminals, and Fujian will be chaotic! ”

When Qin Haoming came to Fujian, Zhang Kentang changed from the original management of the army and the people to the focus on civil affairs, and the people who were worried about it naturally preferred local tranquility.

"Governor Zhang, please rest assured, this governor has already made arrangements."

Qin Haoming explained the arrangements after Zhang Kentang left, and at the end, Fang said quietly: "The roster indicates that there are more than 40,000 soldiers, but the actual number is less than 20,000.

In addition to the number of more than 10,000 naval divisions, there are less than 8,000 soldiers in the guard. The huge Fujian Province is actually ......"

Zhang Kentang explained with some emotion: "The soldiers of the garrison are unusable, and Fujian is an important place for coastal defense, so it is a consistent policy to light land and sea.

But if there is really a war, there are still 8,000 recruits under Chen Yishan, and he still has the strength to fight. These horses belong to the capital of the five armies, and they are not supported by Fujian finances, so they ......"

Qin Haoming shook his head, understood what he meant, and said in a deep voice: "The shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty have entered the bone marrow, the military affairs have not been repaired for many years, and the national affairs are decadent and the national strength is insufficient, how can a little strong army be resolved." ”

The guards, recruits, commanders, and governors of the yamen all have the army of the Ming Dynasty. If there is a war, it will be pulled into the battlefield if everything is pieced together, and this is the actual situation of Fujian's military system.

"Now that Qin Governor is sitting in Fujian, the burden on Ben Fu's body has been lightened a lot, and everything is still looking up to Qin Governor to bear more."

Zhang Kentang naturally understands the situation in Fujian, and if they want to say that they will rise, they are all responsible.

It's just that the Ming Dynasty has been the same all over the country, not only Fujian. Therefore, Zhang Kentang's words were also reassuring.

"Governor Zhang, this governor has something I want to discuss with you, that is, the grassland east of Fujian, the governor's palace is to be requisitioned for military purposes, and I also ask Governor Zhang to cooperate properly."

Zhang Kentang is also a tragic figure in the Ming Dynasty, in the eighth year of Shunzhi, Jiannu attacked Zhoushan, the city was broken, and more than 20 people of the family hanged themselves.

But in terms of ability, this person is also mediocre, and he is the same character as Shi Kefa.

Qin Haoming didn't want to discuss military affairs with him, so he turned to civilians.

The million acres of grassland he wanted were naturally to house his troops and thousands of healthy horses.

Along the coast of Fujian, there have been large areas of grassland wetlands since ancient times. Until later generations, there are still large areas of wetlands, which are also migratory routes for migratory birds.

At this time, Cangzhou has many coastal grasslands and wetlands, not to mention millions of acres? These places are naturally of great use to Qin Haoming today.

"This matter is not difficult, the governor's yamen should cooperate properly, please rest assured."

Zhang Kentang responded.

Now that the newly arrived Governor of Qin, his methods are really amazing, he is ruthless, and he acts regardless of the consequences, Zhang Kentang is really a little worried in his heart.

This time he came to the Governor's Mansion to ask for countermeasures, which was also his way of self-preservation.

Zhang Kentang didn't care much about whether something happened or not, but he was more concerned about who should be responsible after the accident, since Qin Haoming had a big package, he was also happy.

Now that there are thieves in the Ming Dynasty, as long as the responsibility for this matter does not reach Zhang Kentang, he naturally doesn't care.

As for other things, full cooperation is enough.

"The Governor is grateful to Governor Zhang for his help, and there is another thing, that is, the Governor wants to collect commercial taxes in Fujian for raising the army, I wonder what Governor Zhang thinks?"

The army of Fujian, under Qin Haoming's thunderous means, is already in control.

Then there is civil affairs, and the first step is to grab the money first.

"This ...... There were no official documents from the imperial court...... Let's talk about this matter and compete with the people...... If it arouses public indignation, it may be inappropriate. ”

Zhang Kentang frowned, and he was really reluctant to do so, but Qin Haoming, as the governor, got on the horse to manage the army and dismounted to manage the people, and his meaning could not be ignored.

, it's competing with the people again!

"Governor Zhang, the annual taxes of the dynasty are not enough for the military, let alone the rule of culture, which is in deficit every year, and Yin eats a lot of grain.

Not to mention the armament of the armed forces, it is not enough to provide relief to the victims, repair water conservancy, clear roads and roads, and pay for hundreds of officials.

Officials and scholars all said that the Son of Heaven competed with the people for profits and squandered countless dollars, but I was rich and vast in the Ming Dynasty, why didn't I see the Son of Heaven entering the country every year with tens of billions of silver taels.

Even if the Son of Heaven combines the internal treasury and the household department into one, and supports all of them, it is difficult to deal with it, how can this be explained? ”

Zhang Kentang couldn't answer, Qin Haoming stood up, and said with a low attitude:

"Emperor Taizu Gao loved the people and restricted the imperial power to the countryside, resulting in the landlords and gentry monopolizing the countryside.

After Emperor Xuanzong, in view of the evil consequences of Fengtian's appeasement, he emphasized literature over military force, and was impatient with cumbersome government affairs, and set up ceremonial supervisors and cabinets, which led to the rise of ministers' power.

After the Ming Dynasty overthrew the Mengyuan Dynasty, the Son of Heaven and the people of the past dynasties rested, emphasizing agriculture over commerce, not opening the sea ban, and not leviing business taxes.

Virtuous and virtuous sons, the customization is all out of a good intention to love the people and promote the rule of culture, but although the original intention is good, it is difficult for the enemy to have selfish desires, resulting in the low power of the imperial court organization.

The power of the country is in the countryside, the power is in the gentry, the wealth is in the merchants, and the literati are in charge of monopolizing the great profits, so that there are empty ambitions and obstacles, what can be done? ”

Qin Haoming looked up at the heavens and the earth, shook his head and sighed:

"In all dynasties, the history books have attributed the blame to the traitorous ministers of the faint monarch and the misleading country and the people.

Although this statement is reasonable, but the Governor does not understand how it can cause all the people to wail when one person is served under heaven, or hundreds or even tens of thousands of people are supported by the benefit of the world.

How can we deplete our national strength to this point? How can it cause mountains and rivers to be broken, wars to be raging, and barbarians to be strong?

The governor thought to himself that only by destroying the national strength and squeezing the people's strength from the court to the localities, from the localities to the rural clans, could the country be decadent and collapsed.

The rise and fall of dynasties, how can a son of heaven and a few villains be defeated? I have been in the Ming Dynasty for 200 years, and it is the same today. ”12910
