In the past, although there were explicit provisions of the holy decree, they did not have much legal binding force, and some local officials really wanted to disobey the yang and the yin, and the imperial court could not do anything about them. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the final analysis, the original decree was only roughly planned, and most of the officials who were afraid of trouble chose to ignore some conflicts with the original "Da Ming Law", so that the law change was carried out for five years, and most of the state capitals were far from achieving the expected results.

The unanimous adoption and immediate implementation of the "New Da Ming Law" heralded the reform of the law that had been brewing for five years and opened a new chapter.

From now on, if there are any more officials who disobey the good and the bad, then the crime of dereliction of duty will be inevitable.

"I now move on to the second item, on .........."

Soon, after the "Da Ming Law" was resolved, the parliament began to work on the next few topics, including post-war reconstruction, economic development, education reform, and scientific research........... There is even the issue of opening the sea to the West again.

These issues were nominated by Li Hongfei's cabinet, and the cabinet sent a special person to explain them, and even answered the objections raised by the congressmen, until in the end no one raised any more objections, or everyone knew it in their hearts, and then they voted.

At the beginning, Zhu Youzhen was not interested, after all, he is now equivalent to a "puppet", even if he can go to court, it is just as Li Hongfei's mouthpiece, and the final decision is not all up to Li Hongfei?

But after several rounds of discussions, Zhu Youzhen began to fall into deep thought..........

Zhu Youzhen found that this court did not seem to be Li Hongfei alone, except for the first proposal on the "New Ming Law", which was opposed by no congressmen, and every subsequent proposal would be more or less objected.

In particular, the proposal on the imperial court borrowing money from private capital to open up the sea and go to the West aroused fierce opposition as soon as it was thrown out.

Originally, it was nothing to open the sea to the Western Ocean, but the key was that the imperial court needed to borrow money to build sailor warships for this purpose, which made many parliamentarians feel too embarrassed.

Although Scofa had communicated with the members of Congress beforehand, don't forget that half of the representatives of the parliamentarians from the rest of the state capitals are present now, and they may not be able to do it at other times, but they also have the right to vote today.

Coupled with the imperial court's policy of opening up the sea, it can only benefit a few coastal cities at present, and the economic development of the inland is not so obvious, and it is normal for many parliamentarians to see the prospects.

Even some members of the parliament in the inland state capitals feel that the coastal areas are already relatively wealthy, and the priority at present is to use the limited funds to develop the inland economy.

Even if it is a loan to private capital, it should be used to support the devastated northern region, instead of taking this huge amount of money to waste.

That's right, many legislators from other provinces feel that the imperial court has spent a lot of money to build a huge fleet, which is completely in vain.

Some people even talk about the situation in the northwest region, thinking that no matter how powerful the steam warships are, they cannot sail into the desert in the northwest to engage the Mongol cavalry, and it is better to build a few more artillery pieces than to borrow money to build ships.

If it weren't for Shi Kefa's final promise that 10 million taels of silver would be allocated from the loan for the economic construction of the interior, this imperial court loan proposal would probably be rejected today.

Of course, this is just a case and does not explain anything, after all, most officials in the DPRK and China still approve of the loan, and even if this proposal is not passed today, it will still be possible to make another proposal after the provincial legislators have left.

The key lies in the fact that Zhu Youzhen saw the "rules of the game" from this, and that the future political system of the Ming Dynasty will be a system in which the minority obeys the majority, and any decision made by the parliamentarians will be based on the interest groups they represent.

He didn't expect that in just half a year, Li Hongfei really took out the legendary political system, and when he held supreme power, he took the initiative to "delegate power" and create a parliament that could restrain him everywhere.

What kind of courage does it take to maintain such a rational attitude in the face of supreme power?

"Perhaps, handing over the Ming Dynasty to him can really ensure that the descendants of the Zhu family will prosper forever." Zhu Youzhen began to admire Li Hongfei.

Just when Zhu Youzhen was in deep thought, Li Hongfei spoke again: "Now for today's last proposal: the specific implementation plan for the comprehensive reorganization of the Ming National Defense Force, disarmament, and strengthening the army. First of all, I would like to invite Defense Minister Li Dingguo to read out the proposal on military reform! ”

As soon as Li Hongfei's voice fell, the entire hall was instantly silent.

Afterwards, Li Dingguo stood up, took out a stack of papers, and began to read aloud the contents of the military reform drafted by the Ministry of National Defense.

The generals of the army who came to listen quickly pricked up their ears and widened their eyes, for fear of missing any detail.

However, after Li Dingguo finished speaking, about a tea time passed, but no one spoke.

Because everyone is trying to digest the content just now, although there have been all kinds of rumors in the market, the generals here did not expect Li Hongfei to be so decisive.

It's completely one-size-fits-all, with no room for mitigation, either from it or against.

If this silence continues, the presiding officer will have to call for a secret ballot, and then it will be a real fact.

"What? Didn't anyone raise objections? You can say whatever you need to say, and you can say whatever you want today. Zhu Youjian broke the silence with words.

Although Zhu Youzhen has slowly changed his opinion of Li Hongfei, there is always a small pimple in his heart, that is, the reform of the military system.

It can be said that this is the thing he wants to accomplish the most during his time in power, but now it is handled by Li Hongfei, and when he is about to start voting, Zhu Youzhen is so unexpectedly unpredictable that he wants to hear a different voice.

"Your Majesty, the last general is against it!" Sure enough, with Zhu Youzhen's "support", some generals finally raised objections: "Now the situation in the northwest is unstable, Batur Huntaiji led 80,000 Mongolian cavalry Chen soldiers to the border, in addition, the Manchus in the northeast are still eyeing each other, and even established a so-called Later Ming regime." When such a strong enemy is around, you must not rashly disarm and abandon your martial arts! ”

However, this general did not explicitly oppose the reform of the military system, but adopted a strategy of delaying the army, hoping to delay it for a while.

In fact, before this, most of the generals who opposed the reform of the military system could think of only delay.

After all, these generals nominally belong to the Wehrmacht sequence, so naturally they cannot explicitly oppose this kind of reform, and at the worst, they can agree to some of the conditions, but they must not be disarmed, nor can they disperse their troops and delegate them to areas beyond their control, and if they want to do this, they can only continue to delay and wait for their respective armies to return to their hands, so that they can have the capital to negotiate.

I believe that as long as the members of Congress are not stupid, it is impossible to let the border threats go unchecked and let the Ministry of Defense do nothing.

"The last general is against it! In addition to the border issue, on the way to the capital, the last general also heard that Huang Degong in Jiangxi Province had gathered 100,000 troops, collected grain and grass, and purchased firearms. A general from the south said.

If the Ministry of Defense cannot provide a way to deal with it, it is estimated that today's proposal will become the first opposition proposal in this parliament.

The parliamentarians present also bowed their heads and whispered at this moment when they heard the rebuttal of the two generals.

After all, the congressmen present today are very glamorous, but if the military generals have too much power and are forced to threaten in the future, any proposal on the military can only be unanimously passed against their will, then what else can these congressmen have to be prestigious?

Moreover, the dismantling of the armed forces will naturally save a large amount of military expenditure, and the saved money will be used for domestic economic construction, which is also something that deputies from all walks of life are very eager for.

Originally, there was only one piece of cake, and it was all up to someone to get it and how much it was, but now someone suddenly said that they were willing to give you half an extra piece of cake, provided that you all had to cut it off with your hands.

It doesn't matter if you can get it in the end, but at this time, whoever doesn't cut it with his hands is a fool.

It is a pity that, although the parliamentarians present here are very willing to vote in favor, they also have to face the real problem - war.

If war really breaks out because of this, there will be no question of whether the Diet will be able to exist, let alone exercise the power of the Diet...............

At this moment, Li Hongfei, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: "Everyone, please listen to me first, the Ministry of National Defense wants to carry out a comprehensive military reform, and it is not a day or two, so naturally there is a perfect plan. ”

"In the northwest region, the Ministry of National Defense has already allocated 100,000 soldiers (field army) to cooperate with more than 20,000 local defenders, and there is nothing to worry about Batur Huntaiji."

"As for the Northeast........ I can tell you unequivocally that the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty have long since crossed the Hulunbuir steppe into the Siberian region, and are at war with the local forces, and they are too busy to take care of themselves. Today's Duoyan Sanwei, there are less than 3,000 Han and Eight Banners left, which is the so-called Later Ming regime, and in order to deal with the less than 3,000 troops of the Later Ming, the Ministry of Defense has deployed 30,000 soldiers in Shenyang Zhongwei, which is absolutely foolproof. ”

"So, whether it's the northwest or the northeast, there's nothing to worry about."

As soon as Li Hongfei opened his mouth, he dissolved the two foreign places with a light description.

"Enlighten the Holy One! When the Ministry of Defense learned that the founder of the Later Ming regime was Zhu Yousong, the former king of the Ming Dynasty, the minister sent a special force of 50 people to Duoyanwei, intending to arrest him back to the Ming Dynasty. However, this morning, the Ministry of National Defense received information again that because Zhu Yousong resisted desperately, he was finally shot through the chest by a stray bullet and died on the spot. Li Dingguo also said at this time.

This news seems to be a supplement to the situation in the northeast, but in fact it is to show everyone the strength of the national defense force.

Fifty men penetrated deep into the northeast territory, and under the strict defense of nearly 3,000 troops, they killed the core figure of the opponent and brought back their heads smoothly, which shows the strength of the Wehrmacht.

These are just the views of the parliamentarians here, but those military generals around them have a deeper understanding that going deep into the enemy country not only requires strong combat effectiveness, but also requires strong intelligence capabilities, especially this kind of squad infiltration, without spies to provide intelligence support in advance, let alone entering Duoyanwei to kill people, whether or not they can break through the enemy's defense line is a problem.

The National Defense Forces have such a strong intelligence system outside the borders, and it is natural that the territory of Daming is self-evident.

Thinking of this, some generals actually broke out in a cold sweat on their foreheads, since they are ready to carry out a comprehensive military reform, how can they not know about those small actions in the country.

"As for the problems in the Ming Dynasty, most of the people here must know very well that the First Army has gone south, not to mention that Huang Degong's intentions are just unclear, even if he really rebels, the Ministry of Defense can quickly wipe him out!" Sure enough, Li Hongfei even said a solution to the domestic problem.

"Now that Li Xiang has solved all the problems, then I, Huo Fei, have nothing to object to!" The army general, who had spoken out against it earlier, can only express his support now.

Of course, even if he continues to oppose it, if he can't come up with new reasons to oppose it, Congress will have to start voting.

"The general trend is really going to change!" Someone lamented.

Even though the final vote has not yet come out, most people have already known the outcome through the debate.

Just kidding, Li Hongfei not only has to solicit the opinions of cabinet ministers on such a proposal that is carried out in a large parliament, but also communicates with members of the National Assembly in advance, and as long as more than one-third of the members of the National Assembly disagree, Li Hongfei will not dare to release it and slap himself in the face.

Just like the proposal to lend to private capital, even if the members of the Diet saw the huge profits of opening the sea, when they asked for their opinions later, a small number of people did not agree.

If it weren't for the purpose of raising Huaxia Bank's popularity, Li Hongfei would not have dared to put this proposal in today's parliament.

After all, there are nearly half of the member representatives from the state capitals present, and in the case of secret ballot, these people really want to trick you, and there is no way to check afterwards.

Fortunately, it is the first time for everyone to participate in this kind of large-scale meeting, and they have little experience, as long as they have the upper hand in the time of dialectic, then the next voting session can basically be said to be decided.

However, this system has just begun to be implemented, and Li Hongfei can still use his advantages to bluff these parliamentarians, once these people become "old fritters", Li Hongfei's life will not be easy.

Just when the parliamentarians had just finished voting, and the staff was still counting the votes, Zhu Youzhen suddenly got up and said: "I am not feeling well, I will not look at the voting results, everything is subject to the final voting results." Wang Chengen, return to the palace with me. ”

It's so decent, why is it suddenly uncomfortable?

Could it be that the emperor is dissatisfied with the reform of the military system?

Fortunately, at this time, Li Hongfei reacted quickly enough, and immediately said to Zhu Youzhen: "Please also ask the Holy Lord to mourn, the body of King Fu, the minister will order someone to transport it back to Daming, no matter what, the remains of my Ming royal family members cannot be left outside." ”

"Zhu Yousong is a sinner of the Zhu family, he is not qualified to enter the imperial mausoleum, after the body is returned, just find a feng shui place to bury it."

Sure enough, Zhu Youzhen suddenly felt unwell, not because he was dissatisfied with the reform of the military system, but because he was killed by Zhu Yousong.

Anyway, Zhu Yousong is his cousin, although it is impossible for him to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, but the death of a person is great, and keeping his body intact can be regarded as a round of family affection.
