Chapter 549: Ascending the Stairs
"Knighted?"
Zhu Houzhao looked a little hesitant, pursed his lips and asked tentatively, "Does Mr. really think this is feasible?" ”
Xie Shen said respectfully: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about why the combat effectiveness of my Ming army has been criticized?" ”
Xie Shen pointed out this stubborn disease so bluntly that Zhu Houzhao's face couldn't hold on. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The young man's face turned red, and he hesitated for a long time and still didn't give an answer.
"What do you think, sir?"
"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, it is because my soldiers of the Ming Dynasty feel that there is no rush."
Xie Shen said unhurriedly: "The status of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty is very low, not to mention scholars, even ordinary people who farm the land are not as good. But they had no choice, Taizu formulated the military household system, and the father and son had to be a soldier if they were soldiers, so they naturally had an attitude of getting by. This is also why the officers and soldiers of the guard station are not as good as the next generation. The minister's efforts to promote the reform of the military system are also because they have seen this. The military system of the Ming Dynasty has reached the point where it has to be changed. The new army does not have the scruples of the old soldiers, but if they do not see hope, they will soon be assimilated into those guards and soldiers. ”
"Sir, is it said that I rewarded these meritorious soldiers with the title of show an attitude to the people of the world, telling the subjects that whoever goes into battle for the Ming Dynasty to kill the enemy will have the opportunity to be crowned marquis and worship the prime minister?"
Zhu Houzhao seems to have had an epiphany.
Xie Shen nodded with satisfaction and said, "Your Majesty is right, if you want to revitalize the Ming army, this is the only way." ”
When a person has no desires, he is the walking dead; When an army has no desires, it must be a rabble; When a country has no desires and no desires, it is not far from the death of the country.
Xie Shen believes that the Ming Dynasty still has to be saved, if you want to make the country rich, you must first strengthen the army, only when the army is strong can the waist be hard, and only then can you have the confidence to speak.
And if you want to strengthen the army, you must first promise the soldiers, and make them believe that they will not be trampled under the feet of the literati after shedding blood and sweat, and they will be treated as useless slaves.
"Sir is really my confidant!"
Zhu Houzhao always wanted to improve the status of the martial arts, but he was besieged by a group of civilian officials and had to give up. But he is actually unconvinced in his bones.
Now Xie Shen stood by his side without hesitation, which made the young Tianzi feel very moved.
"Your Majesty, this is only the first step. If you want to really make the army loyal to Your Majesty, loyal to the Ming Dynasty, you have to give them the opportunity to enter the cabinet. ”
Entering the phase has always been the highest pursuit of courtiers.
Needless to say, the appearance is naturally coveted by these military attachés for a long time.
Since the Hu Weiyong case, the Ming Dynasty officially abolished the prime minister, and the cabinet replaced the prime minister and became the institution that handled government affairs for the emperor.
The first assistant of the cabinet is equivalent to the prime minister, and he is the head of a hundred officials.
Not to mention the first assistant of the cabinet, even if you do not increase the title of bachelor, it is impossible for a military attache to participate in government affairs only by entering the cabinet.
Although Emperor Zhengde promised to promote the status of military attaché, he did not expect that Mr. Xie would raise the military general to such a high status with a big mouth.
"Sir, do you really think this is feasible?"
The Cabinet is not an ordinary institution, and joining the Cabinet is not just a joke. Since the Chenghua Dynasty, there has been a tradition that non-Jishi are not allowed to enter the cabinet, and it can't be broken here by Zhu Houzhao, right?
The emperor's hesitation was naturally expected by Xie Shen. After all, Zhu Houzhao is not a time-traveler from later generations, and no matter how deviant he is, he will not be able to jump out of the limitations of history.
"Absolutely. This is the only way to make the soldiers really have the same heart as His Majesty. ”
Knighthood is only an expedient measure, and entering the cabinet is the best way to stabilize the morale of the military.
Isn't it true that people live to fight for their breath? They are all raised by their fathers and mothers, why can you civil officials cross the streets and be on duty. Why do generals have to lick blood from the knife and shroud the body of the horse?
It's just that they suffer from this, but they don't get justice either. If it is Xie Shen, there will also be opinions in my heart.
"Well, I listen to Mr.!"
Zhu Houzhao Zhu is a teenager in the end, he is very energetic, and he can talk about it happily.
"As for Wang Qing, I don't know how to reward him?"
For Wang Shouren, Zhu Houzhao was a little difficult.
It stands to reason that he has just appointed Wang Shouren as the governor of Nanzhili, and it is already a great favor to make him fully responsible for the affairs of the peace and the widows.
As a subordinate, the most important quality is to share the worries of the leader.
Xie Shen said almost without thinking: "Your Majesty, although Governor Wang has merit, he will not be rewarded. When Governor Wang really exterminates the Japanese and pacifies the southeast, His Majesty can be rewarded together. ”
Wang Shouren is different from those new officers and soldiers, and he does not have such an urgent desire for promotion.
The reason for this is the innate gap in status.
Wang Shouren is a talented man and a minister, and he doesn't have to worry about the future at all. What's more, he is already a senior member at the governor level, so he should press it a little.
With his momentum and his merits, it will not be difficult to enter the six ministries or even the cabinet in the future, and Wang Shouren is certainly not in a hurry at this time.
But these new officers and soldiers must be rewarded immediately, only if they are allowed to taste the sweetness, they will work harder for the Zhu family and the Ming Dynasty, and the rest of the officers and soldiers will follow suit.
"Your Majesty, there is another matter that the minister does not know whether to talk about or not."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said, "Sir, if you have something, it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if you want to completely wipe out the Japanese invaders, you should start from the inside."
"Oh? Tell me about it, sir. ”
Xie Shen told Zhu Hou how the Japanese colluded with the local wealthy businessmen, and even with the local government.
Zhu Houzhao was furious after hearing this.
"Do they really think that I won't kill people if there is such a thing!"
Although the Japanese are hateful, they are foreign after all. But if the people of the Ming Dynasty mutilate their compatriots, that's another matter.
"These big families are big local taxpayers, and even the local government doesn't dare to provoke them easily, so they can only turn a blind eye. When they saw that the local government was weak, they became more and more arrogant, and finally became what they are now. If Your Majesty wants to eradicate the plague, he must first do something to these people. ”
"Well, I will grant Wang Qing the banner of the king's order, and allow him to behead officials below the fifth grade."
Zhu Houzhao also came to the momentum, clenched his fists and said.
The royal flag is the common Shang Fang sword in later dramas, with which it is equivalent to having the power to cut first and then play, and in the face of those who disobey the order, you can immediately take down and kill, which is very helpful to the coach Liwei.
"Your Majesty is wise, in this case, Governor Wang should have no one to hinder him in the southeast."
This is the maximum that Xie Shen can win for Wang Shouren, and the next thing is up to Wang Shouren himself.
Without the rich coastal merchants who acted as internal responses, the would-be duckweed was rootless duckweed that could be easily cut off.
