Chapter 120: Innovation
To regain Nanjing, at least for the remaining months of the year, Chen Wen did not report any hope. There is no way to www.biquge.info the military combat effectiveness is enough, but the size of the army is not enough to deal with threats from all sides at the same time, especially the southward movement of the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the infighting of the Qin king Sun Kewang.
"You are wrong, the emperor is in the hands of Sun Kewang, which is more beneficial to us than in the occupied area of our Jiangsu and Zhejiang royal divisions."
Hearing this, Li Ruixin was stunned at first, after all, this kind of thinking is very unreasonable, but being at the top of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Mingjun Group, as long as he thinks about it and thinks about it for a moment according to the current environment, he will soon catch up with Chen Wen's train of thought.
The Narrow Son of Heaven ordered the princes to increase his legitimacy with the help of the endorsement of imperial power, so as to achieve the actual effect of "ordering the princes". However, different situations require different analyses.
Although the imperial power has been greatly weakened by one powerful minister and warlord after another in these years, the interests of the gentry and the officers of the guard in the new policy of Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been damaged to varying degrees.
If the imperial power and the gentry were combined, or even without a combination, as long as a piece of fabricated edict was made, it would be enough to blend the opposition forces together without any evidence and stir up a trend unfavorable to the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Zhejiang. For Chen Wen, who occupied the area in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, a region where the gentry was extremely powerful, it was even more dangerous, and it could be said that the gains outweighed the losses.
As for Sun Kewang, who is now in order to order the princes, although there are many means that can be used against him, it may have a miraculous effect when used on other people, but when it is used on Chen Wen's body, there is a chance that he will not even be able to make a splash.
Thesis, Lao Tzu is a warlord, a sentence of your surname Sun tampered with the false decree, refuse to obey the edict, go straight to where it came from, and go back; In terms of martial arts, the Ming army of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang has never been afraid of anyone, and they dare to go to Lao Tzu's territory to spread wild, just kill, no matter how buried.
called on the heroes to crusade, even Li Dingguo would not listen to him, and Kui Dongmingjun and Zheng Chenggong would not listen to him. Even the wall grasses like Shang Kexi, Geng Jimao, and Hao Jiushang know that the southeast is now Chen Wen's knife fast, and Sun Kewang can't even put his own brothers on the table, and he still expects everyone to give you a knife mountain and a sea of fire?
Sun Kewang and his cronies obviously also know this truth, and their prestige will be further damaged, so they will play some small conspiracies that are not easy to refuse.
However, today's Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies are by no means the Jinhua Ming Army of the past, the existence of supervising officers, military judges, quartermasters and staff officers, the rights of the chief general are divided into several parts, and it is extremely difficult to make trouble under multiple restrictions. Coupled with the internal supervision of the Military Intelligence Department, the brainwashing of the Huaxia Revival Society, and the self-protection and group psychology of the soldiers brought about by the military merit awarding system, Cao Conglong and other insiders with multiple blessings from the imperial power, the civilian official group and the local gentry are now no longer singing, not to mention the living Cao Cao who was born as a rogue like Sun Kewang.
Moreover, since Cao Cao, the Son of Heaven has ordered the princes to become the public enemies of the other princes. Chen Wen's greatest enemy now was the Manchu Qing Dynasty, not the rest of the Ming army, so that Sun Kewang could continue to fight and he could spare more energy to continue his reforms.
"What the marshal said is that the last general has cut it."
Chen Wen knows very well that Li Ruixin is not so much a manipulator as a statement. This Huang Degong's personal soldier is accustomed to seeing the imperial power subject to the warlords, although his idol Huang Chuangzi is also a loyal minister, but he can also tear it up with scolding and scolding for the undesirable holy decree.
Now that the Yongli Imperial Court has made it clear that Sun Kewang covers the sky with one hand, rather than letting "Sun Liangyu" gain power, it is better for Comrade "Chen Degong" to hold the authority.
"Iron still needs its own hardness, and the strength of our Jiangsu and Zhejiang Wang Divisions is still too small, not enough to be so. It's really early to think about this now, but it's not wrong to have an idea. After all, everyone has parents, wives and children, and it is natural to plan for the future. As for Sun Kewang, let's watch him rise up a tall building, watch him feast guests, and see his building collapse, let's protect our own yard in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. ”
"What the marshal said is very true, and the last general will go back and train the army as soon as possible."
Li Ruixin, who was overjoyed, bowed and strode out, estimating that in the next few months, cavalry training would probably enter hell mode.
After several years of development, with the expansion and victory after victory, the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming military groups began to have some new desires, no longer just killing prisoners to survive, but began to show their desire for the political territory after the victory. Li Ruixin is like this, and so are the generals who expressed to him in private messages that they are dissatisfied with Sun Kewang.
There is a way to be full of food and thoughts***Human nature is like this. In this era for many years, based on his understanding of this period of history, Chen Wen knows that now is far from the time to focus on sharing bear meat, because the bears are still jumping around!
From the opening Fulu dispute to the ending of the three kings' infighting, Nanming let the Manchus take advantage of it again and again in the continuous infighting, and finally even the hope of recovering the country was completely shattered. Because of this, and because of what he has encountered over the years, he often thinks about it step by step, lest it trigger a chain reaction that will lead to further deterioration of the situation.
The nightmare of the next 300 years in the land of China has always haunted his heart, and Chen Wen will not allow him to make any mistakes himself. At first glance, Sun Kewang, whose strength has been more and more equaled by Chen Wen, seems to be much more chic than him. But in fact, the usurper reserve of the princes of this narrow heaven was precisely because he was too chic in the case of poor strength, so that the emperor was lost, and hundreds of thousands of troops turned against each other in an instant, and finally made great contributions to "my Qing Dynasty" but ended up being "hunted".
"Sun Kewang, you have proven how stupid you are in history, and I will not be stupid enough to repeat your mistakes."
………………
From the documents of the seized Nanchang shogunate, Chen Wen saw a lot of interesting things. For example, when Hong Chengchou wrote to Shunzhi, he was very sure that the Spanish phalanx was the nemesis of the mandarin duck array and the spear array, but the cavalry archery that the Manchus were good at was the nemesis of the Spanish phalanx.
Hong Chengchou, who was in a hurry to go to the doctor, said this kind of thing, which really made Chen Wen laugh, and he leaned forward and backward with laughter, almost not scaring the staff around him.
The theory of mutual restraint of arms is a concept popularized by Chen Wen among the senior officers of the Ming Army in Zhejiang early on, but he also said that it is impossible for a single arm to appear on the battlefield. Mounted archery is the nemesis of the Spanish phalanx, Hong Chengchou said this, Chen Wen almost thought that he knew the battle of Croroa before he came to the conclusion. But in that battle, the hands of the Great Condé also had a phalanx that was not inferior to the Spaniards to have a chance to win, and the Manchus could eat steadily by virtue of riding and shooting, so why do they need a modern army, the nomads unify the world, and everyone grazes together.
wants the horses to run, but also doesn't let the horses eat grass, think about it carefully, Hong Chengchou is also aggrieved enough. However, this brain hole is also big enough, and he even figured out the weakness of the slow movement of the Spanish phalanx to the Manchu court to weave a cat-eat-mouse, rat-eat-elephant-style lie, and the feudal bureaucracy's method of deceiving the upper and lower is really extraordinary.
Feudalism has always been what Chen Wen has tried his best to eliminate, but in this era, in this environment, especially the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the great enemy of China and those pig-like teammates have always existed, the weakness of his strength makes him have to compromise on some things.
However, the aspect of compromise was never the army, and military modernization was his greatest advantage in the face of the Manchus, even more important than the knowledge of history.
Now, Sun Kewang wanted to use a method similar to the Tui En Ling to divide Chen Wen and the five earl-level generals under his command. Whether it succeeds or not, since he already has this thought, Chen Wen also has to speed up the process of reform.
By the next day, Nanchang Xingyuan, the palace of Huiji County, issued several decrees in succession, and the attraction of various figures in the occupied area, who was still in the midst of surprise and anxiety about the large-scale land division, was immediately attracted to the "Jiangxi Di Bao".
First of all, all the old health centers in Jiangxi Province were banned, and the new health centers were officially established.
After all, the officers of the new guard station have long been in place, as for the officers of the old guard station, Chen Wen directly thought that as a martial artist, he could not defend the country, but was imprisoned for the crime of selling Ding Naliang in the Manchu Dynasty.
In this regard, it was not without people who raised objections, especially those officers of the guards, who repeatedly stated that Chen Wen was from the Left Military Governor's Mansion and was not qualified to manage them, the officers of the former Military Governor's Office.
This is a very good reason, and it is very reasonable. But when Chen Wen threw an order stamped with Zhang Zisheng's order to the right governor of the former military governor's mansion in front of them, these guys immediately decided that there was a deal between Sun Kewang and Chen Wen, and they sold them to Chen Wen, a "traitor to the guard".
With Sun Kewang to share this black cauldron, Chen Wen expressed his joy to see it.
Jiangxi's Weisuo Tuntian and various types of land are not much different from Zhejiang, but they are different in nature. Jiangxi is not near the sea, there is no guard house, and there is also the existence of the palace, and most of the land of the guard has been encroached upon. However, Chen Wenke doesn't care who owns these fields now, as long as they are well documented, they will all be confiscated. As for those military households in the guards, they were converted into private households, and the fields were tuned according to the rules of the households.
In this way, it was actually the gentry and the officers of the guard who were damaged, and at most a royal palace. These vested interest groups that sit on the people's plaster are the targets of Chen Wen's dictatorship, and if they are dissatisfied, let them be dissatisfied.
Next, the craftsmen began to be phased out, and the first ones were the Imperial Weapons Farm in Jingdezhen and the Military Industry Division Workshop in Zhejiang.
As early as not long after Chen Wen arrived in Nanchang, he had met many local officials in Jiangxi, among whom the magistrate of Fuliang County had mentioned that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had begun to gradually abolish the artisan household system. For example, the Imperial Weapons Factory in Jingdezhen has changed the artisan service system to the hired recruitment system, and the craftsmen who work have become private craftsmen, and the productivity has been substantially improved.
Many of the systems of the Ming Dynasty were inherited from the tyrannical yuan, such as military households and artisan households. Military households may also become military officers and landlords in the army, while artisan households are outright pariahs, and it is normal for them to be unproductive. If you want to increase productivity, you can abolish the artisan household system.
Chen Wen has had a lot of policies to improve the labor enthusiasm of craftsmen, basically starting from the direction of wages, and the work enthusiasm of the craftsmen in the workshops of the Military Industry Department in Zhejiang has indeed been improved, but the status of craftsmen has always made them inferior. In the imperial ware field in Jingdezhen, the craftsmen did not show much enthusiasm for the Ming army at the beginning of the recovery of this place, but they were like mourning, and even the phenomenon of craftsmen fleeing.
In terms of emancipating the productive forces, the traverser was actually despised by the Qing Dynasty, which is intolerable, but at the same time of abolishing the artisan household system, we must first ensure that the craftsmen do not lose money, after all, in this era of handicrafts, without people, the productivity can not be raised.
"It's very simple, while abolishing the artisan household system, sign employment contracts with craftsmen, especially the workshops of the Department of Military Industry, long-term contracts and confidentiality agreements are indispensable, and personnel must also live in a centralized manner, so that the craftsmen we have cultivated cannot be hired by Tatars with high salaries."
After receiving the abolition of the artisan household system in the Jingdezhen Imperial Ware Yard by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Chen Wen began to prepare for these, and had many discussions with Wang Jiang for this purpose, and even sent letters to ask Sun Yu and Xu Yi of the Military Industry Department for their opinions. With the release of personal dependence, such a remedy can be made to ensure that those military secrets do not leak out.
In order to improve productivity, Chen Wen started from the means of production and production relations, and it is difficult to say what the specific effect of the improvement will be, but the division of land and the abolition of the artisan household system have really increased the enthusiasm for work.
Of course, enthusiasm alone is not enough, the development and manufacture of production tools is also imperative. In particular, Jiangxi often has about 100 acres of military land, there are not so many tenants, and it is useless to have land, and only by using more advanced agricultural tools can we ensure the reclamation, planting, and harvesting of land.
"Mr. Song, you are responsible for the customization of farm tools."
After Song Yingxing was received by Chen Wen, he soon took over the functions of Nanchang Xingyuan's staff, and now he was released, and the first task he was responsible for was to customize farm tools according to the situation in Jiangxi, so that a large number of craftsmen controlled by Chen Wen could carry out large-scale production, so as to quickly achieve the goal of improving productivity by popularizing tools.
"Students will live up to the king's trust."
Chen Wen attaches great importance to Song Yingxing, and Song Yingxing can naturally feel it, in fact, in the recent period, he is also investigating the agricultural and industrial production of the Ming Army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Zhejiang, so as to use his knowledge to improve productivity as soon as possible. However, this is Jiangxi, the Ming army has just recovered only a few months, and he has no time to pass over the time in Zhejiang, which has been vigorously developed in recent years, so he has to first expose those hearsay problems first, and then advise after actual observation in the future.
The general direction of the development of Jiangxi Province was set, and Chen Wen also found more time to reform the army, and the method he used to defuse Sun Kewang's conspiracy was also among them.
