The first wind and rain drifted away

It's no wonder that these nobles are confused.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Duke of Chengguo and the Duke of England were the heads of the nobles, and they were extremely rich. and other families of Jingnan heroes, married each other, and took charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

In the third year of Chongzhen, the seventh-generation British Duke Zhang Weixian died, and his son Zhang Zhiji became the eighth-generation British Duke.

It's a pity that he is weak and sick, and his ability is mediocre, so he only holds a temporary post in the governor's mansion and does not really enter the court to do things.

Chengguo Gong Zhu Chunchen then became the leading brother of the noble family and spoke for the interests of the group.

But now, the eldest brother who took the lead was suddenly put into the prison of the Criminal Department by the emperor to discuss the crime, how can this be good?

wanted to plead for the eldest brother, but when the emperor was so angry, they still chose to avoid his edge and became a turtle with a shrunken head.

It's better to go back obediently and tell the old immortal at home and let them find a way.

"Your glory and wealth are all the result of your ancestors' bloody battles and hard fights on the battlefield with a knife and a gun, not the capital that you squandered wantonly.

I have decided that, from this day, the hereditary succession system of titles will be abolished.

The positions of duke, marquis, and uncle, if the family has no new military exploits, will decrease from generation to generation, and stop at three generations. ”

Emperor Chongzhen's majestic eyes swept over the noble generals here, and angrily promulgated the decree.

This is an important part of the military reform, and I have taken the opportunity to say it today.

The hereditary replacement system of titles, in which hereditary is wanted, is motivated. The military exploits that people have worked so hard to earn are understandable for their children and grandchildren.

It's not fair to replace it, so it will only give rise to a group of prodigal children who eat and wait for death, and cut off the path of other generals!

It's going to die!

Emperor Chongzhen's will shocked all the nobles present and didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

They have a vested interest, and the whole family is accustomed to enjoying the privileges left by their ancestors. When I heard about this, I couldn't accept the facts.

But what if you can't accept it? Do they have the ability to call the emperor?

Xiangcheng Bo Li Guozhen and Chengyi Bo Liu Kongzhao looked at each other miserably, they are earls, according to the emperor, if there is no military merit, their son will have nothing in the future.

At the beginning of Taizu's establishment, the fifth rank of the knight was awarded the title of meritorious relative.

After reading the system of the previous dynasty, the titles of son and baron were removed, and only the duke, marquis, and uncle were retained, and customized: all lords who are not social and military merits cannot be sealed, and titles are not allowed to be given unless they are specially intended.

So if you want to make military achievements, how can it be so easy?

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Emperor Chongzhen's face softened slightly, and he continued to say to the nobles: "You and others are all from Jiangmen families, and your descendants have enough advantages over the children of the poor families in the market.

If he still can't stand out from it, he can only say that his talents are limited, his talent is insufficient, and serving the country will increase the laughing stock, but it is better to settle down and eat at home.

At least, you don't have to shed blood and donate your body, and you can be safe. ”

Emperor Chongzhen's words are not good, but this is true.

These noble sons and daughters are all wealthy people, and if they have the heart, they can study military knowledge, practice battlefield techniques, and study and train the army without worries.

And the average poor family, because of the high cost of military learning, it is difficult for ordinary families to afford.

If nothing else, a single horse will make many poor people sigh in vain?

What's more, there is the long-term consumption of weapons, training grounds, food, etc., which is all a big problem.

Therefore, the poor and rich are not just casually talked.

But then again, although the sons of Xun Gui have these advantages, the key is that they do not have the determination to fight.

Now, Emperor Chongzhen uses this trick, I believe it should be able to stimulate them.

This is especially true as their family gradually declines and other new nobles pour out.

"Xin Lehou, you are temporarily acting as the governor of Beijing, and you must work together to assist Governor Cao Du to reorganize the Beijing camp, otherwise, I will not be spared!"

Zhu Chunchen was cold, and Emperor Chongzhen promoted Liu Wenbing, the deputy governor of Beijing, to the position.

It's not how good his ability is, it's about putting it to use.

After all, before a new nobleman is produced, the civil and military affairs of the court need to be balanced.

Otherwise, the imbalance between civil and military forces will increase, and it will be even more difficult for military generals to turn over.

And this is undoubtedly not in line with the strategic layout in Emperor Chongzhen's heart.

"Obey the Divine Commandment! The minister must fully cooperate with Cao Dudu. ”

At the same time as saying this, Liu Wenbing's heart was broken, and he had no joy of promotion.

The governor of Beijing assists the governor's mansion of the right army, and it is estimated that only the emperor can say this.

Don't talk about face or anything, the key is that the emperor roasted him in the fire!

There are courtiers to deal with, noble children to balance, and Cao Dudu, who is like a stunned man, and Liu Wenbing can foresee a miserable life in the future.

But he can't take the burden yet, and the emperor is not as good as he used to be.

Otherwise, Cheng Guogong would not have been arrested and put in prison.

What a lesson from the past!

"I'm so relieved!"

Until this moment, Emperor Chongzhen finally showed a stingy smile and nodded with satisfaction.

These grandsons are going to whip them to do things, cheap, really cheap!

It is estimated that after Zhu Chunchen "commits suicide in fear of sin", they will be more obedient.

There is no way, killing people is not enough, although Cheng Guogong is overwhelmed and is a wall-to-wall grass, but as the head of the nobles after the martyrdom, he must not kill indiscriminately.

Then, it may be a good choice to ask Jin Yiwei to ask him to "commit suicide in fear of crime", and then spit out some of the stolen money.

In this way, the wish to avenge the deity can also be fulfilled.

After solving this matter, Emperor Chongzhen asked the seventy-two Beijing battalion generals to stand in line, and then began to lecture.

"You're rice worms, and I'm disappointed in you."

As soon as he came up, Emperor Chongzhen went straight to the point and said the central theme.

"You look at each other, your face is now smoother than a civil official, more delicate than a girl, is this a military general who is drunk and killed in a bloody battle?"

Emperor Chongzhen pointed at them and shouted loudly.

The noble children present hung their heads and remained motionless, silently enduring the emperor's anger.

"The next step is to reorganize the Beijing camp and train the new army, and you must know that there are no more leisurely days in the past.

I have something to say in front, you go back and think clearly, if you can't stand this suffering and this sin, you will immediately ask Cao Dudu to resign, and I will not pursue it.

But if you choose to stay and try to mess around, Cao Dudu's military law is ruthless, and I can't control it, let alone ask about it. ”

Emperor Chongzhen played a straight male personality, and his words were very transparent and thorough.

"The last general is not afraid of hardship or tiredness, and is willing to stay in Beijing to serve the emperor."

Li Haiming, the son of Li Guozhen, the uncle of Xiangcheng, has a flexible head and expresses his determination before everyone.

"After thinking clearly, after forming an army, I will let you go to the front line of Guanning to fight the Tartars.

When the time comes, it is difficult to say whether it will be life or death. ”

Seeing that a few more people were eager to express their determination on the spot, Emperor Chongzhen squinted at them and said expressionlessly.

Small, if you want to be opportunistic and win my favor, no way!
