On June 20, the 26th year of Jiajing, the first cabinet meeting was held in the Fengtian Temple. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The new five cabinets, the eight major secretaries, and the 20 ministers all attended the meeting.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, a court meeting has been held in the Fengtian Temple, and all officials have to stand. Chen Di changed this rule, he asked the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army to bring more than a dozen tables, put the tables together, and moved dozens of chairs, and all the participating officials sat for the meeting.

Chen Di spoke first: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first meeting of the Ming Cabinet. Dozens of you will constitute the power center of the Ming Empire in the future! I'll make a rule first. In the future, a cabinet meeting will be held every 10 days, and all five cabinets, eight major secretaries, and 20 ministers must be present! In the future, all the decrees implemented by the Ming court must be implemented with the consent of the five-member cabinet! ”

Jiang Guangdao: "The order of the Duke of Zhenguo is the decree. It doesn't seem necessary for our cabinet's consent, does it? ”

Chen Di shook his head: "I have the final say on everything, what else do you want the five-member cabinet to do?" ”

Chen Di's words are a bit of a stealing of the bell. Now he is in control of the Fafei Tiger Army, and the members of the five-member cabinet are all his people except Hai Rui. Isn't his order a decree of the imperial court?

Chen Di said: "The first item of today's meeting, Hai Shangshu of the Ministry of Supervision, you can talk about the seizure of Yan Song's family property. ”

Hai Ruisui did not have a good impression of Chen Di who was in power, but he was quite supportive of his killing of Yan Song's father and son. Hai Rui opened an account book and said loudly: "The property of Yan Song's father and son has been confiscated. Appalling! A total of 2 million silver and 6 million taels of silver tickets from the eight major banks in Beijing were confiscated. Red gold 200,000 taels. There are 2,600 house deeds and 26,000 acres of land deeds. In addition, there are more than 1,300 pieces of gold and jade jewelry, more than 2,200 pieces of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, 130 large beads, more than 200 strings of pearls, silk, brocade robes, and mink fur。。。。。 ”

Chen Di waved his hand: "Hai Shangshu only needs to say the total number." ”

Hai Rui said: "Yan Song's property in the capital is equivalent to more than 14 million taels of silver!" Attention to the dukes, I am talking about his property in Beijing, not his property in his hometown of Jiangxi! ”

Rao is Yan Song is greedy and famous all over the world, and the amount of silver in this collection still scared Chen Di a lot.

There are rumors that Yan Song fell, and it is really not sensational for Jiajing to be full!

Chen Di said: "All of Yan Song's property in Beijing will be immediately transferred by the Ministry of Supervision to the Ministry of Household Affairs and charged to the state treasury!" In addition, the Ministry of Supervision sent a cadre to work with the governor of Jiangxi to inspect Yan Song's property in his hometown of Jiangxi! ”

Chen Di turned his head and asked Tang Shunzhi and the others: "Does the five-member cabinet agree?" ”

Tang Shunzhi and the other five people nodded to each other: "Yuzhen Guogong, the five-member cabinet agrees." ”

Chen Di said: "Just one Yan Song is greedy for 14 million taels!" How much silver is the income of the Ming Dynasty? The corruption of Ming officialdom can be seen from this! Now the Cabinet has issued an edict to increase the salaries of officials. The petty officials below those officials will also be raised by the imperial court in the future。。。。。。 If the officials are greedy, once discovered, they will not be spared! Although Grandpa's peeling method is out of date, for those corrupt officials, beheading still can't escape! Hai Shangshu of the Ministry of Supervision, your responsibility is heavier than Mount Tai! In the future, the Ministry of Supervision will have the right to investigate and arrest corrupt officials, down to military attachés and second lieutenants, 24 civil officials, up to military attachés, marshals, and first-class civilian officials! ”

As for the rectification of the rule of officials and the investigation of corrupt officials, Hai Jui raised his hands in favor. Hai Rui said: "The princes of Zhenguo and the cabinet can rest assured. I, Hai Gangfeng, are incompatible with those corrupt officials and ink officials! We, the Ministry of Supervision, are at odds with those corrupt officials and officials! ”

Chen Di said again: "Very good. The second item on the agenda of today's cabinet meeting was the implementation of the two new policies of the gentry and the imperial family to pay grain in one place and to abolish the army of the guards. The gentry, the royal family, and the military households of the old guard who had a stake in them would definitely oppose it. If they oppose it, I will use the tiger to force them to support it! Can Hu Zongxian, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, be outside the palace? ”

Hu Zongxian participated in the Northern Expedition as the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and was responsible for the grain and grass of the Flying Tiger Army. He, a feudal official, was not a member of the cabinet, nor was he a member of the Eight Great Scholars or 20 ministers, so he had no right to attend cabinet meetings. He can only be on standby outside the Mukden Temple.

Hu Zongxian was ordered to enter the Fengtian Temple.

Chen Di said: "Hu Zongxian, your position as the governor of Zhejiang remains unchanged. At the same time, I have ordered you to be the inspector of the new policy in the seven southern provinces, and to supervise the implementation of the new policy in the seven southern provinces! Of course, there will definitely be people who will object! There will even be people who will take advantage of this to make trouble and confront the imperial court. For those who oppose the imperial court, don't be soft! I decided to transfer the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Division of the Flying Tiger Army to Nanzhili. If necessary, you, the New Deal Inspector, have the right to mobilize the musketeers of the Flying Tiger Army's brigade! ”

Chen Di's meaning is self-explanatory. Those who oppose the New Deal will use the tiger to make them submit!

Hu Zongxian said: "The lower official receives the order!" ”

Chen Di said: "Hu Butang, the new policies of the seven southern provinces are entrusted to you!" ”

Chen Di said again: "The new policies of the six northern provinces are in charge of Zhang Juzheng!" Zhang Juzheng, a cabinet member and a secretary of the household department, is the new policy inspector of the six northern provinces. The 3rd Brigade of the 1st Division of the Flying Tiger Army will cooperate with you in implementing the new policy in the six northern provinces. ”

Chen Di glanced at Tang Shun, Tang Shun comprehended, looked at each other with the other four cabinet members, and said, "The cabinet agrees to the proposal of the Duke of Zhenguo." ”

Chen Di asked Tang Shunzhi: "Since the old army has been abolished, the new army must be expanded!" The third topic of the meeting, the expansion of the new army! Tang Shangshu, how many new firearms has the Ministry of War made in the past six months? ”

Tang Shunzhi said: "The firearms made by the office in the past six months are enough to arm another 10,000 people!" ”

Chen Di nodded: "Elder Sun of the office really has a way!" Can Qi Jiguang be outside the hall? ”

Qi Jiguang entered the Fengtian Hall in military uniform.

Chen Di said: "General Qi, the imperial court will promote you to the chief of the general staff of the Flying Tiger Army." Ordered you to be responsible for the expansion of a division of the Flying Tiger Army. ”

The military system of the Flying Tiger Army is 10,000 people in one division.

Qi Jiguang said: "Zhenguo Gong rest assured, the last general will definitely live up to his mission and train another division of elite soldiers for the imperial court!" ”

Chen Di also said: "The firearms of the Ministry of War are limited, and we can only expand the firearms force of 10,000 people. But the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty cannot only have the military strength of 20,000 people of the Flying Tiger Army. I decided to set up another Wehrmacht in addition to the Flying Tigers! Although the Wehrmacht does not have firearms, it needs to train the army in new methods! The number of personnel in the Wehrmacht was 100,000, and the salaries were allocated by the imperial court. Two capitals and 13 provinces, each province has 8,000 people. This matter is in charge of Tang Shangshu of the Ministry of War. The National Defense Force maintains local law and order in peacetime and assists the Flying Tigers in wartime. ”

Tang Shunzhi: "The cabinet agrees." ”

Chen Di said: "Those craftsmen in the Ministry of War's Manufacturing Office must be awarded military ranks!" These people are the treasures of the court! ”

Tang Shunzhi wanted to speak and stopped.

Chen Di asked, "What does Tang Shangshu want to say?" ”

Tang Shunzhi thought for a while and said, "Forget it, the cabinet meeting is discussing major matters related to the society. That incident is a small matter compared to today's issues. ”

Chen Di was a little curious, what trivial thing could make Tang Shunzhi's face look embarrassed?

Chen Di said: "Something that can make Tang Shangshu look embarrassed must be a big deal!" Please speak. ”

Tang Shunzhi sighed: "Alas, the old Sun of the office has been working hard all night for half a year, and there are hundreds of apprentices brought out?" A few days ago, he became ill from overwork and died of serious illness。。。。。 ”

Chen Di was shocked! Style Sun is dead?!
