Chapter 440: There is a Mandate of Heaven in the Dark
The word "Yongle" came out of Liu Chenweng's mouth, and it was loud. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
There was silence in the entire hall.
Ye Yingwu broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, soaking through his clothes.
At this moment, Ye Yingwu didn't know that he should be glad that what came out of Liu Chenweng's mouth was not "Hongwu" or "Jianwen", or he should suspect that all this was arranged by the destiny of heaven in the dark, and he thought that he was in control of everything, but in fact, he invisibly embarked on the track that had been planned for an unknown number of years.
In an instant, Ye Yingwu remembered that when he crossed between the two eras, it seemed to be a voice from the desolation.
Send you 90,000 miles of green mountains.
Now under Ye Yingwu's feet, it is indeed 90,000 miles of green mountains, and that voice has fulfilled his promise. This shows that at least the fate in the dark is not framing itself, although this may be a path from which there can never be turned back, but at least γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» is at least moving in a controllable and even perfect direction. That's enough.
As for whether he is Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, or Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Ye Yingwu doesn't care much about it at this moment.
At least he hasn't become Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di, and at least, these civil and military officials under him are very different from the civil and military forces of the founding of the Ming Dynasty and the civil and military forces of Jingnan in that era.
This road is to go well.
Ye Yingwu exhaled softly, and the eyes of the civil and military officials all fell on him at this moment, and Liu Chenweng was obviously a little nervous and full of expectations. Ye Yingwu bowed his head lightly: "Yongle, make the world forever happy, make all the people forever happy, and make me and Daming foreverhappy." Very good, very good. β
Faintly they could hear the voices of the ministers exhaling softly, obviously the complicated look on Ye Yingwu's face just now made them very nervous. However, in the end, His Royal Highness King Ming still agreed to this era name, and I have to say that the Hanlin Academy and the Academy of Sciences, a group of poor and sour talents who usually think of themselves as high, are still good at coming up with these two words this time.
Ye Yingwu raised his head slightly, and did not intend to dwell too much on this detail, after all, for him, there were more and more urgent things to do now. At that moment, Ye Yingwu said in a deep voice: "Just now the Hanlin Academy also said that my virtue lies in the martial arts. In fact, it boils down to two words, military and civilian. Military and civil affairs have been the foundation of the country since ancient times, and the civil affairs of the former Tang Dynasty were deserted, resulting in the self-respect of the troops in various places, and the people's hearts did not return to the imperial court; The former Song Dynasty military and government were deserted, with the shame of Jingkang and the defeat of Duanping, and now I have the intention of refreshing the military and civil affairs of the Ding Revolution, and I also need the help of all the secretaries. β
A paragraph, loud and clear.
Except for a few people in the court who had heard the tone in advance, the rest of the hearts were chuckling.
Originally, they thought that so many civil and military officials gathered in Nanjing just to see the demeanor of His Royal Highness King Ming ascending the throne and becoming emperor, after all, for a founding monarch, this is already worth such a stirring up of the people. But they didn't expect that what Ye Yingwu saw and wanted to do was even more distant!
Without waiting for the officials to figure it out in their hearts, Wen Tianxiang and Su Liuyi had already stood up and said in a deep voice: "Please also ask Your Majesty to make it clear that the ministers will definitely swear to follow each other to the death!" β
In an instant, everyone already knew in their hearts that reform and reform, throughout the ages, often harmed the interests of the powerful people of the dynasty, and sometimes even went too far, it would be counterproductive, and it might even make the entire dynasty miserable, and finally even embark on the road of destruction.
So for most kings, what they prefer to do is to uphold the ancestral system and follow the ancestral teachings.
Even if the founding king of the country wants to reform the system of the previous dynasty and refresh the military and political system, after the country is stable and the powerful are old, the courtiers of the same era will be old and dead, and the new generation of courtiers will have no way to resist the authority of the old emperor.
But His Royal Highness King Ming is like this, the country is just established, the foundation is not solid, and there are really very few people who are busy wanting to reform, or it can be said that there is only one person in history - Wang Mang!
However, before the many imperial histories of the Imperial History Observatory reacted, Wen Tianxiang and Su Liuyi had already expressed their positions. And many courtiers also woke up at this time. Wang Mang and the master sitting on the dragon chair in front of him are not on the same level, at that time, Wang Mang coerced the Son of Heaven to make the princes not fake, but how many people in the world listened to him? But now His Royal Highness King Ming, there are hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers who are willing to go to the trouble for him, and there is a system of cronies and even relatives of the emperor and the country built through a complex network of interpersonal relationships.
Even if he wanted to bring the sky down, I am afraid that there would be a group of people screaming for a ladder.
What's more, this master has already poured down the sky of the Great Song Dynasty and the sky of Mongolia!
This is not asking their opinions at all, but looking at their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty and their support for His Royal Highness the Ming King.
Before Wen Tianxiang and Su Liuyi stood back, the quick-witted officials behind them had already stood up numbly, their voices were loud, and their chests were clattering. There was one and two, and soon the entire hall was filled with voices expressing loyalty and vowing to die for His Majesty.
Sitting on the gilded dragon chair carved with nine dragons, an imperceptible smile swept over the corner of Ye Yingwu's mouth. And his fingers were unconsciously tapping lightly on the armrest of the chair. Those who know Ye Yingwu know that His Highness's gesture has two meanings, one is to show that His Highness is thinking nervously, and the other is to show that His Highness is already holding the wisdom bead at this time.
When the voice gradually subsided, Ye Yingwu said lightly and unhurriedly: "The people are water, and water can carry boats or overturn boats." Let's talk about civil affairs first, civil affairs is mainly three major events, first, the construction of straight roads, the restoration of canals; second, to immigrate to and develop Nanyang; Third, restore the vitality of the newly recovered lands such as Heluo, Shandong, and Guanzhong! β
Many of the officials below suddenly exhaled in their hearts. These three major events are definitely not simple and easy, but at least His Royal Highness King Ming has no intention of shaking the current official position system.
As for the officials related to civil affairs from the household department onwards, they were already crying and sad at this time. It was as if they had seen the treasury, which had not been abundant after several major wars, shrinking at a rate visible to the naked eye. However, the three things that His Royal Highness King Ming said are all related to civil affairs and even military affairs, and they are definitely not responsibilities that can be delayed or dealt with, and with the character of Xie Fang, the head of the household department, he is not ambiguous about such a major event that is good for the people's livelihood and the military, even if he is tired and tired.
With the recovery of Shandong by the Ming Dynasty, the Beidi Canal, which has been blocked for many years, can finally be re-dredged, which can facilitate trade and grain and grass transshipment, and secondly, when the war breaks out, quickly mobilize the sailors to the north to support, so that the sailors of the Ming Dynasty finally do not have to stare at the Dajiang River and Huaishui.
The role of the straight road is also similar to this, of course, compared with the canal, the military role of the straight road is less, more is the role of commerce and people's livelihood, at least this from the imperial court announced the construction of the straight road, the merchants from all over the country poured all their property to help can be seen.
For these merchants, once the straights and gallops were completed as a supplement, their caravans would be able to travel to and from the major towns at a much faster rate than they are now, thus making their profits rise desperately.
One straight road, ten thousand taels of gold! Today, I spent all my family property to help the court build a straight road, once the straight road is opened, not to mention a pair of net worth, it is seven or eight pairs, and I will be able to get it soon!
As for the other two, not to mention, since the discovery of the Baguio gold mine and the massive trade of Nanyang products, there has been no opposition to the Nanyang policy among the government and the opposition; And the restoration of the vitality of the people in the Central Plains, not to mention.
This is the long-cherished wish of the people of Nandu who have been waiting for a hundred years, and this is the blood and tears that the children of China are looking forward to for a hundred years.
At the moment when Wang Shi set the Central Plains in the north, how many people cheered and how many people burst into tears.
The scenery is not different, and the Jin people are deeply sad; Return my rivers and mountains, the false wish of the Song people. Generations of Chinese people have looked back more than once when crossing the mighty river, looking back at the Huaishang Tiantian, looking back at the splendid mountains and rivers that have fallen into the flames of iron hooves, after all, this infinite sorrow and grief can only be turned into the indignation in the poems and the gloomy sorrow in the neighborhood.
And it is His Royal Highness King Ming, it is the red dragon flag blowing in the wind, and it is the rolling and mighty ironclad torrent that is advancing to the north in the face of the wind and the heavy snow. The Ming Dynasty realized the grand wish of the people of Nandu for a hundred years, and made the paradox of unifying the Central Plains from the south to the north a reality.
North also, North also, whoever dares to say a "no" word, the anger of the government and the opposition can swallow him alive.
"This matter will be handed over to Prime Minister Wen and the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Officials to implement." Ye Yingwu said lightly, and Wen Tianxiang and the others hurriedly stood up to receive the order.
After a pause, Ye Yingwu's eyebrows raised: "The civil administration is over, and it is the military and the government." The matter of civil affairs lies in creating well-being for the people, while the matter of military administration lies in forging a strong army that can protect the country, and in reorganizing the strong army that recovers Yanyun, Hexi, and the Western Regions! β
Su Liuyi immediately took a group of military attaches out of the ranks, and said loudly: "Ming soldiers, dare to die for Your Majesty!" β

On the twenty-first day of the fourth year of the Ming Dynasty, the Nanjing Dynasty Meeting.
After the meeting, the imperial court promulgated a decree, and the civil and military affairs began at the same time, the focus of civil affairs was development, and the focus of military administration was reform. Civil affairs include the dredging of canals, the construction of straight roads, and the resettlement of people from north to south. What really attracts attention is the reform of the military and government.
Since the end of the war, the Ming armies, there are Shence Army in Guan, Tianwu Army in Heluo, two Huai Army in Huaibei, Zhen Navy in Shandong, Shenwei Army and Jiaozhou Naval Division in Jiaozhou, Tianxiong Army, Dali Army and Jingjiang Army in Sichuan and Shu, Jinghu Army in Xiangfan, Xuanwu Army, Yongzhou Army and Nanyang Naval Division in Nanyang, two Huaishui Divisions in Lianghuai, and Jinghu Naval Division in Jinghu. In addition to these main armies and naval divisions, there are also box armies and township soldiers in various places, not counting the large number of military numbers, and the number of people in each army is uneven because of several major battles, plus the strong men levied by the box army in various places, and even the box soldiers in the neighboring state capitals, although they are at the same level, the number may be different by a thousand.
Such a chaotic situation is not a day or two, but since the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the establishment of garrisons in various parts of the front line has already made the regular army establishment level and the number of people chaotic, and sometimes even the Southern Song Dynasty court itself does not know how many people are stationed in a cantonment.
It's just that after one big war after another, not only the Southern Song Dynasty court, but even Ye Yingwu took over the chaotic government, it was also a headache for this, but the northern Mongolia has been eyeing the tiger, so that the front-line armies have to be hard and waiting, and there is no effort to rectify the military system, so it has been dragged down.
Now that the Ming Dynasty has gained the upper hand, and the many shortcomings reflected in this great march also made Ye Yingwu realize that the reform of the modern military system modeled on the later generations can be urgent. Moreover, the main purpose is to solve the current situation of the incomplete and chaotic strength of the various armies.
In accordance with the decree promulgated by the whole world, the core of the reform of the armed forces lies in the standardization of the establishment and the fixation of the number of troops.
The main battle army of the front line, taking the Tianwu Army as an example, retains the military number of the Tianwu Army unchanged, and the four compartments on the left and right sides are reduced into two teams, taking the word "army" of the military brigade, and naming them respectively as the first army and the second army, with the number of commanders of each army being 20,000 people, and the commander is named "army commander", and each army has two teams of 10,000 people each, taking the word "division" of "Xiongshi", named the first division and the second division, and the commander is named "division commander". Each division has two teams of 5,000 men each, named the first brigade and the second brigade after the word "brigade" of "strong brigade", and the commander is named "brigade commander". From the brigade commander onwards, there are still 2,000 "commanders", 100 "capitals", and 10 "generals", all of which follow the old system. In addition to the first army and the second army, the original Chinese soldiers and horses were formed as a personal guard army to control the "Tianwu general" of the Tianwu army, responsible for defending the commander core of the main army.
The commander of a main battle army is crowned with a military name before the word "general" to indicate his identity, which also makes the general no longer a general pronoun and false title. And Du Yu Hou originally had a conflict with the name of the low-level Yu Hou, and was renamed "Supervisor", which was also crowned with a military name, such as "Tianwu Supervisor". His main responsibilities have also changed from being his former commander and deputy to being responsible for the ideological propaganda and education work of the subordinate troops, and at the same time controlling the behavior of the generals.
It can be said that as soon as such a reform method came out, it naturally caused an uproar. Because this is tantamount to subverting people's understanding of the main battle army, the commander of the capital, the capital Yuhou, and even the positions and vocabulary of the garrison soldiers that have inherited the Tang system for hundreds of years, many Confucians and former generals who have returned to their hometowns have gone to the Ministry of War, the Hanlin Academy, and other places in their private names to express their protests.
After all, such a direct overthrow of the ancestral system is tantamount to a bolt from the blue for them.
However, the imperial court did not have any reaction or answer to this, and the main forces in various places also fully supported such reforms, and since the commanders who went to Nanjing or Du Yuhou returned, they began to implement the reform policies issued by the central court layer by layer, in an orderly manner.
It was not until this moment that the government and the opposition could clearly see what kind of commanding ability and leadership Ye Yingwu had for the entire Ming army. Although the emperor who is about to conquer the world, although he has gradually retreated into the deep palace, as long as he speaks, he is still willing to serve thousands of troops!
Because it was he who forged the soul of the Ming army with his own hands, because it was he who personally brought the goal and sense of honor to the Ming soldiers, and because it was he who found the best home like the Zhongshan Martyrs' Shrine for all the soldiers who fought bloodily.
How many soldiers shouted "Daming" and "Zhongshan" to fight with the enemy, and how many soldiers sang "The dragon rises, the horse grows" and rushes into the sword and swordγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
This is the army of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also Ye Yingwu's army!
Ye Yingwu looked at the news fed back from the recent Praetorian Guards and Divine Guards, smiled lightly, and didn't say anything. The Praetorian Guard is adapted from the capital of a hundred battles, and it is also the most loyal Ye Yingwu's personal guard, and Jiang Tie and Wu Chucai naturally have no ambiguity in this matter. And Yang Bao of the Divine Guard, who was born in a hundred battles, although the Divine Guard has just returned from Nanyang and Shandong, but it is also non-stop for the reform of the military system.
For such a long time, they have eaten ice and snow, and worked hard for this army, and they did not disappoint themselves after all.
Standing beside Ye Yingwu, Zhao Yunshu carefully untied his cloak, then glanced at the letter in Ye Yingwu's hand, and said with a chuckle: "This time after all, he still didn't attack the civil official?" β
Reaching out and rubbing her head, Ye Yingwu had to sigh, over the past year, Shu'er's height has unconsciously changed a lot, and now it has passed her shoulders, becoming taller and more beautiful, coupled with her innate noble temperament, like a proud swan.
Her hair flutters gently in the wind, and her snow-white sleeves cling to her delicate body, outlining her intoxicating curves. The smile on her pretty face made Ye Yingwu still never get tired of looking at it for so long.
"What are you looking at?" Realizing that Ye Yingwu's gaze was firmly on him, Zhao Yunshu hurriedly took a step back.
"Shu'er is getting more and more beautiful, it seems that it is a certain moisturizing merit!" Ye Yingwu said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
