Chapter 575: Long Kedo's Seat
"Earlier, you should deal with the household department to check the deficit in Jiangnan, and you are also playing such a small trick, you are already a feudal official, and you can't do everything right? You don't move in Jiangnan, only push Tian Wenjing out, how can I push the world to move? You are one, Ortai is one, and you are not as good as Tian Wenjing in local affairs."
In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Yongzheng criticized Li Wei's recital. After washing him away for a while, he thought that Jiangnan was indeed too important, and the interests were too complicated, although Li Wei had not done much in the new deal in the past two years, Jiangnan was still stable, and he changed his mind again, and his tone was also relaxed.
"I also saw some clues, I am calculating, don't keep pointing at me, you are below, you are also more active and more sensitive. Stabilizing Jiangnan is only secondary, the first thing is to change, Jiangnan remains unchanged, how can the Qing Dynasty change? I have great hope for you to let you go in Jiangnan. ”
Thinking of the road ahead, Yongzheng's heart gradually warmed up, it was a kind of resentment, but also a kind of high-spiritedness, after the young concubine went, Yongzheng, who had been depressed for more than ten days, finally cheered up.
"Don't think too much, I haven't changed, I have made up this big determination for you to wait, the master you serve, will never fail you"
The last line is written in a sharp and powerful handwriting, printed on the paper like a carving knife.
Not long after, Yongzheng's words were like knives, carved into the hearts of several military aircraft.
"Throughout the ages, the key to success is the soldiers and horses, money and food, and people's hearts, to fight against the Nanban, none of these three things can relax my rule for three years, protect the foundation of a country, now, it is time to go one step further"
The ministers of military aircraft present were Yunxiang, Ma Qi, Zhang Tingyu, Long Keduo and the newly supplemented Marseille, plus a few military aircraft rooms that were pulled out of the Hanlin Academy and the Sixth Department. How did it suddenly turn to the whole state politics?
"Li Wei told me that the Li thief in the south will exceed 30 million this year, which is already surpassing my Qing Dynasty. The Southern Barbarians became more Europa, colluded with the Yangyi, learned guns, learned warships, and were well-armed. Li Thief also moved to West France, confusing the hearts of the people in the south, and going farther and farther away from my Qing Dynasty and the faith of my ancestors. ”
"Although Tian Wenjing forced the Nanban to retreat in Jiangxi, he also secretly presented the truth, which was just an investigation of the Nanban outpost. Even if the soldiers change their guns and learn the method of platoon, the army of the Southern Barbarians can still hit our people and the green battalion with one blow. ”
"Now that Nanban has turned his head and plundered Fujian, and he is also trying to get hands on Jiangxi, where will he look next? It must be that even if Jiangnan exerts all his strength, it will only drag on for another three or five years. If in the past three or five years, my Qing Dynasty has not innovated, and it is still like this, what can I use to stop the Nanban? ”
The more Yongzheng said that the tone was higher, and his face was flushed with excitement.
"If I hadn't been reborn in the Qing Dynasty, I would still be like this, the people would not be divided, and the ministers would not know the interests and disadvantages, what would I do to clean up the rivers and mountains and restore my Lingnan?"
Hearing Yongzheng's words, everyone's hearts were filled with bitterness, this long-lived lord's ambition is really big enough, and he still wants to destroy the Southern Barbarians and restore his homeland......
Yongzheng's declaration was hung high, but he didn't get a response from the courtiers immediately, and even the hardcore Yunxiang was shocked by his ambition, and he was speechless for a while, and the hall was silent.
Fortunately, a military plane hurriedly said loudly: "The saint has lofty ambitions, and the ministers dare not to die for the sake of death."
The others reacted and quickly chimed in.
Yongzheng doesn't seem to care about the reaction of the courtiers, he is used to being a lonely monarch, which is different from Kangxi, who always cares about how the courtiers will react.
He said coldly: "The matter in Jiangxi, someone must have secretly instigated it, and it broke the hearts of Tian Wenjing and Wang Guodong. This matter had to be investigated by the local officials, all the way to the capital, and it was found that there were no people in the court who patted their chests, and those people in the local area would never dare to support the green camp."
Yongzheng Qiangang was arbitrary and handled the Jiangxi case neatly. The magistrate involved in the case dealt with the wealthy businessman, and he had to keep a tail, all the way to the court, but the parties did not make a big move. Wang Guodong was removed from his post and investigated, and Tian Wenjing was demoted to three poles and retained.
The view of the style and customs is the new position of Yongzheng, and the person is also chosen by himself, and Tian Wenjing is the most effective local official in the implementation of the new policy, Yongzheng will not slap himself in the face, and the nature of the matter is linked to the position of the customs and the new policy.
In this way, the military planes were not too surprised, but Yongzheng wanted to detain the basin on the local and court officials who opposed the new policy, which made the military planes a little panicked, is this going to be a big prison? ..., Yongzheng continued: "There are some people in the local and court who are jumping like this, which means that the new policy is doing well, I am not afraid of them jumping, I just watch, and I want them to dance more energetically, I want to cheer up in the Qing Dynasty, and I have to clean up these people, which is what I said about people's hearts are not uplifted, how can a country cheer up?" ”
From Tian Wenjing's approach and Li Wei's twists and turns, Yongzheng gushed endlessly, and explained his plans one by one, which made the military aircraft even more shocked.
Yongzheng is not satisfied with the previous three new policies, but also wants to engage in "clean wind". From the court to the localities, they must set up an envoy to observe the customs and rectify the customs, and use the "holy hadith" set by him to straighten out people's hearts. The first point is to be loyal to the monarch and fulfill his duties, and the second is to recognize the true face of the Nanban.
"My Qing Dynasty has been at the juncture of life and death, I have been protecting this country for three years, but there are still people who seek power and profit, and regard me as an enemy, such people are not as good as pigs and dogs"
"The Qing Dynasty and Yinghua cannot wear the sky, and every courtier must make up his mind in his heart, so that he can raise his subordinates, and the hearts of the gentry and the people will be such stubborn and unscrupulous, so they must be served with prisons and guillotines."
"At present, the great enemy, those resentments in the past, such as the Manchu and Han affairs, should be put aside, and everyone has the same hatred for the enemy, so I have to let everyone see that this country is a country of the Manchu and Han ......"
When these three meanings came out, everyone's foreheads began to sweat, Yongzheng really had the courage, the first one was still scolding the eight-master party and the fourteenth party that had been cleaned up, and it seemed that there was still something to do. The second is that if you really want to make a big deal about the prison affairs, how do you think about it, it can only be seen from words and words. The top is good, and the bottom is its own, and I am afraid that everyone will be Zhao Shenqiao.
The third is even more taboo in the previous dynasty, this topic Kangxi is unwilling to touch easily, just as a whitewash, just sing occasionally. But Yongzheng held it high, to talk about it in the light, Guan Yongzheng is not so stupid as ignorant of whose side the foundation of this dynasty is, but he still has to say this, that is, he is determined to make some sacrifices. Yongzheng thinks that this sacrifice is worth it, will the other clansmen agree?
Long Keduo coughed, and reminded Yongzheng with good intentions: "Master, this third article, the first emperor is already lenient, even if the master doesn't do anything, this country can see the sincerity of the master......"
Although the words were tactful, they were clearly opposed, Yongzheng snorted angrily, pretended not to hear Long Keduo's words, and went straight on.
Then Yongzheng mentioned money and grain, and he was very dissatisfied with the local delay in fully implementing the return of fire consumption to the public. In his opinion, the miscellaneous factions obtained by the local government in the name of fire consumption are twice as large as the positive endowment, and most of them go into the pockets of officials and cannot be used in state affairs. Therefore, in addition to intensifying efforts to fight corruption and promote clean government, it is also necessary to bring these miscellaneous factions to the central authorities as much as possible.
"Ortai implemented the return of fire consumption to the public in Shanxi last year, and the money and grain paid were 70% more than in the first and second years, so we can see how much the local government is greedy on weekdays, and I don't chase the responsibility of the past, as long as the money and grain are collected."
Yongzheng said boldly, but the military planes sighed in their hearts, scraping away the local miscellaneous factions, won't the local government continue to scrape the villagers? I don't know what the place is going to be like when it comes.
"If the local chaos is not afraid of collecting enough money and grain, the imperial court will be able to raise enough soldiers to stabilize the place, and also raise enough elite soldiers to fight against the southern barbarians"
Yongzheng is not a political idiot, so he naturally knows the harm of scraping the place, but he has a countermeasure, so he talked about the affairs of soldiers and horses.
Whether it was the Shaanxi and Gansu soldiers or the Beijing camp, Kangxi had been disabled in Hunan. After Yongzheng ascended the throne, in addition to stabilizing his position, another major event was to retrain the troops, which came earlier and was done deeply than the implementation of the new policy. It's just that this thing is done quietly, except for the core of the court, outsiders don't know the roots.
In addition to the Northwest First Route Army led by Qianyao in the beginning of the year, the flag battalions in Jingzhou, Hangzhou, Zhenjiang, Xi'an and other places have newly set up firearms armies, plus the reorganized firearms battalions in Beijing, and now the Qing Dynasty has also raised 60,000 firearms soldiers, of which 40,000 are in Beijing and 20,000 are in various places.
Although there are 100,000 firearms soldiers, and even they all hold tap guns, on the one hand, the firearms technology is inferior, far from being compared with the Nanban, on the other hand, the firearms tactics are unfamiliar, even if Yongzheng uses the earlier defeated generals Yanxin and Garbi and others, there is still no accumulation in this regard. And the morale and combat effectiveness of the flag battalion are even more worrisome.
The firearms army of the flag camp is just a policy for Yongzheng to lay the foundation for emergency and protect the roots and consolidate the country, and they are used to deter the Han people. The main force fighting against the Yinghua red-clothed soldiers is still the green battalion, and even like Tian Wenjing in Jiangxi, it still depends on the local people's bravery. ..., relying on the kind of green battalion in the Kangxi era to fight with the red-clothed soldiers, the results have been seen, and the way forward can only be for the green battalion to build a firearms army, and this requires money.
Yongzheng proposed that within two years, 100,000 green battalion firearms soldiers should be trained, half of which would be deployed in key places, and half would be gathered in the capital, and the banner camp would be a powerful army, plus cavalry, and more than 100,000 mobile troops could defeat the Anglo-Chinese army in plains such as Shaanxi, Gansu, Anhui and Henan.
His idea is more realistic, all the military planes have carefully summarized the battle of Kangxi Hunan, and they all believe that if the Yinghua red-clothed soldiers advance north, they can be restrained by cavalry, and if there is a firearm army with a little combat power, they can basically win.
But the amount of silver spent on this idea is an astronomical amount, even if there are no new soldiers, just the equipment and baggage supplies will cost two or three million taels per year, which is really a big burden for the imperial court, which is already in debt on the books.
In his opinion, even if there is no firearms army, as long as it reaches the land north of the river, the Qing Dynasty can control Yinghua by riding and shooting, so why waste money and food on the firearms army.
"Master, although the affairs of soldiers and horses are important, in terms of the foundation of a country, they are trivial, just as firearms are only the details of the affairs of soldiers and horses. If you throw money and bread into this end, and thus destroy the foundation, then you will be abandoning the basics. ”
"The slave thinks that as long as I take care of the internal affairs of the Qing Dynasty and keep the hearts of this country stable, even if the southern barbarians advance northward, with the strength of my Manchurian warriors, it will be difficult for the southern barbarians to please."
Long Keduo sang the opposite tone repeatedly, and finally annoyed Yongzheng, he couldn't suppress his anger anymore, grabbed the inkstone on the bookcase and threw it at Long Keduo: "This country is not on your shoulders, don't you know how to be in a hurry?" Eat and wait for death to be stable? and go home."
Seeing Roncodo retreat with his head in his hands in embarrassment, the military planes turned pale.
"According to my intentions, draw up a plan as soon as possible, remember, I want to see the truth, if anyone fools me with warm water, he will follow that guy to roll"
Yongzheng's eyes breathed fire, and he set the tone, and there was no room for negotiation......
