Chapter 793: Struggle for power

readx;

Liu Chengfeng's words made Liu Jian's face even more ugly, on the surface, Liu Chengfeng seemed to be persuading Ye Qi, but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye knew that this guy had his own purpose. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Reforming the military household system should be the goal of Liu Chengfeng.

Fang Cai Liu Chengfeng said that the amount of silver allocated by the military household was halved, and at the same time, it took out more than two million taels of silver to recruit military bravery, on the surface, there seems to be no problem, but the crux of the problem is that how many military warriors can be recruited with more than two million taels of silver, and if you really want to let go of recruitment, I am afraid that 100,000 people are enough, and the 100,000 recruits will be disbanded on the spot after the rebellion of King Ning is quelled? This is obviously impossible, so the court will have to keep it. The officers and soldiers of the military households can be raised, because these military households themselves do not need the imperial court to allocate silver, as long as they give them land to cultivate by themselves, but the recruited soldiers use the silver of white flowers.

On the issue of the new army, the cabinet is very cautious, although the emperor and Liu Chengfeng have fought hard, so far they have recruited only 10,000 people, what is the reason? It's not that I don't want to change this law-based ancestral system, but if the quota is relaxed and the new army is allowed to recruit 180,000 people, I am afraid that this military household system will be completely finished.

Now Liu Chengfeng clearly wants to recruit a team through counterinsurgency, which is obviously contrary to the cabinet's ideas.

The reason is very simple, once the military household is made into a recruitment system, the martial arts group will be able to grow, in fact, this reason is clear when you think about it, everyone in the military household system is dead, the son of a thousand households is a thousand households, and the sons of military households are military households, and the warriors rarely have their own ideas, everything is customized, and it runs according to the trajectory established by the imperial court.

But what if it's a conscription system? The biggest problem is how to promote the generals, and then there is the issue of military salary, which involves too many things, under the military household system, all military attaches do not have any right to speak at all, such as in Xuanfu, that is, you are the chief soldier, and you have to obey the governor and the governor to control it, the recruitment system is different, the recruitment system is easy to raise Qiu Ba who does not obey discipline, many of them are unruly, this point, there are a lot of historical records, just say that the current new army, a few sentences are the army directly under the emperor, the cabinet can not handle it at all, The generals of the new army are also not subject to civilian control, if all the warriors are like this, then what else does the imperial court do? What do you want the cabinet to do?

Liu Jian frowned, and said in a flat tone: "I have an army of two million in the Ming Dynasty, and if I go to recruit again, it will cost money in vain, I am afraid that it will be very inappropriate." ”

Xie Qian and the others nodded one after another, and said, "Yes, the imperial court has soldiers, so why do you need to recruit military horses from outside?" It's not a joke, what's it? ”

Liu Chengfeng glanced at Liu Jian, and saw that Ye Qi was a little moved, so he smiled coldly and said: "I have a lot of Ming military horses, but how many are really available?" Liu Gong said that I have more than 2 million troops in the Ming Dynasty, since this is the case, then use these two million troops to quell the rebellion, today we are talking about military aircraft, then I might as well say something that should not be said, today I say that military households are still used if they do not recruit soldiers, if these military households are not effective in counterinsurgency, this responsibility, Liu someone is not responsible, who is willing to bear it. ”

After he finished speaking, he immediately clasped his hands and looked like he was watching a good show.

Of course, he knows the contradictions of these people, on the one hand, they hate the martial artists and have a deep discrimination against the martial artists, but when they really encounter something, they have to use the martial artists, and there are no martial artists to give them a tool of violence, they can really maintain their rule with the benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, and righteousness of the Raushzi, this is simply a joke.

Xie Qian couldn't help but glared at Liu Chengfeng angrily, and scolded: "Liu Chengfeng, you are presumptuous. ”

Liu Chengfeng was not afraid of Xie Qian now, and said to each other: "How can I be presumptuous? Since it is a military aircraft, you have to make it clear, meritorious service must be rewarded, and if you have a fault, you will be punished, whoever proposes to let the military households go to quell the rebellion, if it is done, it will be meritorious, if it is not done, it will be ......" Liu Chengfeng looked at Xie Qian sarcastically: "If it doesn't work, then don't have a corpse vegetarian meal, I have never been short of officials, and I am to blame." ”

Liu Chengfeng immediately said to Zhu Houzhao: "His Royal Highness the Prince, military affairs are not child's play, the prince himself has heard it, the imperial court must have an account book for military affairs, and the things proposed by the people here today are all related to Jiangshan Sheji, if the soldiers are really recruited at that time, King Ning's rebellion cannot be suppressed in time, that is my Liu Chengfeng's responsibility, but if the cabinet insists on using military households to suppress the rebellion, if the officials and soldiers are not effective, then it is their responsibility, although Liu Chengfeng is a little thick-skinned, but if he really misses the military affairs because of himself, Then I will never shirk my responsibility, and I would rather take the blame and resign. As for them......"

After that, Liu Chengfeng glanced at Liu Jian with a provocative gaze, and said it very clearly, I dare to take responsibility for my thick skin, your old man is so thin-skinned, this relationship will not be successful.

Liu Jian snorted coldly, and then stopped talking, he is a politician, of course he knows how low the combat power of those military households is, he can't take this risk.

Ye Qi seemed to be moved by Liu Chengfeng's words, the money in the treasury is not his, the reason why he is reluctant to allocate money is because he feels that it is a waste, and Liu Daxia's description of the military household is really shocking, in fact, everyone here has been released out to take charge of the political party, what kind of virtue those military households in the local area are, everyone knows that Ye Qi is unwilling to allocate these money to the military households, this is a waste of money in the treasury.

However, the rebellion still had to be suppressed, and it was better to recruit soldiers than to give money to military households.

It's also strange to say, Ye Qi has always been bent on going his own way, and he is a well-known nail in the court, but he is standing on the same position as Liu Chengfeng in this matter, he nodded and said: "Lian Guogong's compromise method is good, but you can try it." ”

Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, then the matter is decided, and the Ministry of War will take out a charter again, and it will be done according to the wishes of Master Liu, and the household department will print it and submit it to the cabinet......" He glanced at Liu Jian and said with a smile: "There is no problem with Master Liu's side." ”

As long as the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household communicate well, send the charter to the Cabinet, and as long as the Cabinet nods, the will can be drafted and implemented. Zhu Houzhao was naturally towards Liu Chengfeng, and he couldn't wait to settle the matter at this time, so he asked Liu Jian what he meant at this time.

Liu Jian glanced at Liu Chengfeng coldly, and said: "But I have to say it in advance, if this method goes out of chaos and can't quell the rebellion as soon as possible, someone has to bear the stake." ”

This sentence is full of threats, and it is clearly towards Liu Chengfeng.

Liu Chengfeng just smiled faintly and said, "This is natural." ”

The matter of money has been drawn up, but a few people here can't help but feel relaxed, no matter what, the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and the money and grain can be solved as soon as possible, and this matter is half done.

Zhu Houzhao saw that it was cold, so he coughed and said: "The matter of money and food has been agreed, but how to quell the rebellion, do you have any plans?" ”

Today, Zhu Houzhao's performance is very sensible, in fact, this is all taught by Liu Chengfeng, and he secretly instructed him before he came.

Liu Daxia smiled slightly, and said: "Your Highness, this battle is not how to arrange troops first as written in the book, the battlefield is changing rapidly, I am sitting in the duty room, what can I care?" ”

The rest of the people also showed a smile, and even Ye Qi, who was unruly in the past, couldn't help but laugh, only to feel that the prince asked this sentence, which was really a bit ignorant of the world, and it seemed that he was still too young.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't stand being treated like this by others, and his face suddenly looked bad, but he didn't dare to be angry at the scene, so he had to endure and keep silent.

Liu Chengfeng came out to relieve him from the siege, and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means that if you want to suppress the rebellion, you have to do the preparatory work, Liu thinks that the counterinsurgency is not just as simple as fighting and killing, it is better to do this, I will throw bricks and lead the jade, let's say a few words first." ”

In fact, from the very beginning, there was nothing to do with Liu Chengfeng in the cabinet deliberations, at least Liu Jian and others thought so, he was a martial artist, at most, he was responsible for implementation, and it was his turn to speak for decision-making. But Liu Chengfeng wants to say that no one can do anything.

Liu Chengfeng coughed, a good cabinet meeting, and now he is leading the singing, especially in the face of these ministers pulling down their faces one by one, Liu Chengfeng is obviously in a good mood.

"First of all, if you want to quell the rebellion, you must first mobilize public opinion, and you have to tell the people of the world what King Ning's crime is, so that the people of the world have the same hatred and hatred, and stand with the imperial court. From now on, all newspapers must send people to assemble in the Initiative Division, and every article must be supervised by the Initiative Department in order to straighten out the discussion. ”

Zhu Houzhao and Liu Chengfeng sang and harmonized, and said busily: "This idea is very good, this is also to prevent someone from secretly hooking up with King Ning, what if there are newspapers to confuse the people and oppose the imperial court?" What does Master Liu think? ”

Liu Jian said: "Doesn't this put the tongue of the people of the world under the brocade guard?" ”

Liu Jian is clearly opposed, Liu Chengfeng's influence in the newspaper is already great, and now there is a standardization, which is equivalent to controlling all public opinion, Liu Jian naturally does not like it.

Liu Chengfeng retorted: "Do extraordinary things at extraordinary times, counterinsurgency is imminent, don't allow a little sloppiness, Lord Liu is still thinking about Jiangshan Sheji." ”

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help glaring at Liu Chengfeng, and said loudly: "Master Liu, what you said is wrong, can it be said that Master Liu will not consider the Jiangshan Sheji and be selfish?" Hmph, this palace never agrees, Lord Liu has the world in his heart, he is loyal to his father, he only has justice in his eyes, and he has no selfishness, such a good idea, he just has a slight whisper, in fact, he is willing in his heart. ”

Liu Chengfeng made a look of sudden realization, and said: "Yes, yes, it is Weichen who is dying, and he didn't choose his words for a while, but he actually said that his words were abrupt Lord Liu, so this matter is settled?" ”

Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly and said, "The right is settled." ”
