Chapter 62

The so-called punishment of the unscrupulous doctor is a law formulated by the dignitaries and magnates to protect themselves, not a law.

With these high-ranking officials who are not afraid of death, the low-level officials and officials below are bold.

When the sky fell, there were tall men on top of it, and they couldn't hit them.

As a result, tragedy inevitably happened.

The Imperial Guards received authorization from the Emperor and began to clear the field.

Due to the large number of people, the people at the core had no way of knowing what was happening on the periphery, and the officials who were the Royal Forest Army didn't even have a chance to react, and in the shadow of the sword and sword, in a moment, dozens of heads fell to the ground.

Such a bloody massacre was the first since the establishment of the Ming Kingdom.

Even when the first "Qingguan Movement" occurred in Gyeongju, Baili Wuji did not issue such an "indiscriminate" death order, but after the criminal officials were captured, they were executed through a trial.

"There is no forgiveness", this is the rule of man, the rule of man to the extreme.

The stability of the regime and the replacement of the old with the new have always been carried out in the form of blood and fire.

There is no mercy in this, and there is no forgiveness.

Some are just eternal interests.

All the peace and tranquility are built on this blood.

The so-called chaos must be followed by a great rule, Baili Wuji has obviously figured this out, since the army in Badong, Baili Wuji has been swallowing big with a small one, so far, the world has been leveled, the Ming Kingdom is peaceful on the surface, and the people are living and working in peace and contentment, but this does not mean that the old interest groups have been transformed.

They are just afraid of the powerful military power in the hands of Baili Wuji, and they are temporarily and selectively hibernating. And as the territory of the Ming Kingdom grows larger and larger, this dormant force will slowly collude.

Until it grows strong enough to compete with Baili Wuji, it threatens the imperial regime.

And these people are all subjugated, surrendered, and even fished in troubled waters to speculate into the Ming court. Some of them were still in high positions, and this status quo was not revealed when the Ming Kingdom was still at war.

And now that the situation of the Ming Kingdom unifying the world has been clear, and the peaches are ripe, the power of reaching out to pick peaches has gradually emerged.

Baili Wuji originally planned to gather his own right-hand man after solving the Dali Kingdom. Carry out an expanded "campaign to clean up officials".

In this way, the consumption of the national strength of the Ming State can be minimized, and some people who should not have died or should not have died for their crimes can be saved, just like that. Feng Dao.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and plans can't keep up with changes.

Being so unintentionally disrupted by Duan Foyin didn t want to cause Feng Dao to make a series of actions, so. The bloody case in Zhongshu Province inevitably happened.

If it is during the war. Baili Wuji will definitely immediately send the Royal Forest Army to control the situation.

But now, Baili Wuji needs to use this bloody case to completely purge the unstable elements in the officialdom of the Ming Kingdom.

Slaughter is a form of purge.

Although brutal, it is also the most effective way to physically destroy the enemy, simple and effective.

But this approach has a great sequelae, and that is hatred in human nature.

Hatred is not something that abates or disappears with the passage of time. On the contrary, it will bear the time deeper and heavier. This is the ugliest thing about human nature.

Baili Wuji naturally understands this truth, but he still makes up his mind, because he is middle-aged, if he allows this dormant power to grow slowly, when he is old and decrepit, this mess will inevitably be inherited to the next generation.

This is unacceptable to Baili Wuji, so in his heyday, he completed this purge and cleared the obstacles for the future generations to govern, even if it cost blood.

Baili Wuji even prepared for the worst, although Baili Jingbei was only thirteen years old, it was not too young, under the guidance of Xu Shiming and Feng Dao, his studies had gradually entered a good state.

And from time to time, he instilled in him some advanced things, such as monarchy, civil rights, etc., so that Baili Jingbei began to understand that if you really want to let the monarchy be passed on from generation to generation, the only feasible way is to delegate power.

The supremacy of the monarchy itself is a double-edged sword, which can kill as well as injure oneself.

Too much power will always be coveted, and if the monarchy wants to last for a long time, it can only delegate power and maintain political neutrality, so that the royal family can be invincible in domestic political disputes.

And in order to ensure this, the control of a strong army is the only guarantee.

When Baili Wuji taught Baili Jingbei, this point was highlighted, the army was independent of the Ming court, and the court played a supervisory role, so that the court regime would not deviate from the established line, and this line was the foundation of the Ming State - the share of interests drawn by the wealthy nobles was limited to a range, so as to ensure that the poor people could get a piece of the Ming country's strong national strength.

With the escort of the army, Baili Wuji can let go of half of his worries.

The other half is worried about the Ming army, as a weapon of the country, but the army has the most powerful destructive power, and its natural attribute is destruction, not construction.

Therefore, how to put the tiger of the army in a cage has become the most difficult dilemma to solve.

After years of long-term thinking and verification, Baili Wuji seems to have touched some eyes.

This is the purpose of Baili Wuji to divide the Ming army into three and set up a new army, a state garrison, and a royal forest army.

The state army is under the leadership of the imperial court, and can make wars at home, such as exterminating bandits and thieves, quelling rebellions, and rescuing natural and man-made disasters; At the same time, it played a balancing role for the new army of the Ming Kingdom.

As the most powerful force of the Ming State, the new army belongs to the General Staff, which not only monitors the garrison of the state capital, but also supervises whether the imperial decree deviates, and its mission is to fight abroad. This is the strongest cage to limit the use of force by the Senate.

Only by cutting off the idea of these battlefield veterans of the General Staff trying to meddle in the political situation can the General Staff really play the role of the patron saint of the Ming Kingdom. At the same time, the New Army also pinned down the Imperial Guards.

The third type of army of the Ming Kingdom, the Imperial Forest Army, as an army that belongs purely to the royal family, is now too large.

The 80,000 Imperial Forest Army is undoubtedly a drag on the Ming Kingdom, which is about to unify the world, especially for the royal family.

But Baili Wuji had to set the post at 80,000 for the time being, because Baili Wuji wanted to use the Imperial Forest Army as a transition, so that the brothers who followed him to fight the world would have a suitable place to go after resigning from the new army.

If these great generals with great achievements in war keep letting them command the new army, they will not be able to stage a drama of yellow robes again after they are old and gone. (To be continued......)
