Chapter 1183: Go Together
In the last years of Yongle, due to financial pressure and the domestic situation, Zhu Di temporarily recalled the British Duke and most of the army in Jiaozhi, but at that time, the British Duke had already eliminated the three puppet kings of the puppet Chen Dynasty and basically destroyed the military force that rebelled against the imperial court. www.biquge.info Zhu Di thought that it would not be too much of a problem to transfer Zhang Fu and most of the army back to China. There is not the slightest intention to give up the cochin.
On the one hand, the people of Annam were only afraid of Zhang Fu, on the other hand, Zhu Di died in the civil strife in the court, which also made them see an opportunity, and Li Li, a wealthy gentry in Annam, took the opportunity to rebel and captured many areas.
However, Emperor Hongxi and the scholars were not interested in increasing the number of troops, and the biggest task of the imperial court now was to reduce expenditures and survive the financial crisis, and there was really nothing they could do about the bottomless pit of Jiaozhi. After the second move of the capital, Jiaozhi is even farther away from the political center of the Ming Dynasty! In the eyes of the emperor and ministers in the capital, Jiaozhi has become a distant and inconsequential chicken rib, and if they want to throw away this heavy burden, they even have the intention of giving up Jiaozhi.
This is also one of the reasons why the nobles are strongly dissatisfied with the emperor and civil officials, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the emperors of the past dynasties have only expanded their territory and conquered the four provinces, and have never given up even an inch of land! Not to mention losing a huge province!
In the eyes of the nobles, Emperor Hongxi and the civil officials are a group of losers who have lost their power and humiliated the country, so that thousands of soldiers who sacrificed their lives will not be blind, of course, they will fight to the end!
"Withdraw troops and provinces?" Listening to Xue Huan's words, Wang Xian sneered: "Do I agree?" ”
"Scared!" Xue Huan perked up when he heard this, and stared at Wang Xian excitedly: "My lord, are you against giving up Jiaozhi?!" ”
"Not bad!" Wang Xian nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Although the territory of the Ming Dynasty is wide, not an inch of land is superfluous!" ”
"Done! With the words of the adult, Annan, I will decide! Xue Huan's face flushed excitedly, and he regained his heroic generosity and said: "As long as I am not dead, Annan will always be the territory of the Ming Dynasty!" As he spoke, he asked Wang Xian anxiously, "When will I leave?!" ”
"What's the hurry, let's hurry up and leave one for your Xue family first." Wang Xian looked at Xue Huan helplessly: "What an adult, it's not married, it can't be that there is a problem with orientation, right......?"
"I can testify that he's fine." Wu Wei suddenly remembered the legend of the fast gun general that circulated in Zhenjiang City, and couldn't help laughing.
Xue Bawang can be said to be unladylike, and it was too late to open his mind, and he met Xu Huaiqing and a group of bad friends, which made him bud on the prostitute, and as a result, Xue Huan has become a frequent visitor to the Qinglou since then, and he has no intention of getting married......
When I returned to the emperor's newly given Zhenguo Mansion from Beizhen Fusi, it was already dusk. This Guogong Mansion was originally Zhu Di gave Zhu Gaosui the Zhao Palace, and after Zhu Gaosui's years of reconstruction, the mansion is more and more solemn, the garden is even more beautiful and prosperous, in the Beijing city where the prince's mansion is gathered, it is the undisputed first mansion!
After King Zhao was abolished, this mansion was given to Wang Xian, of course, the prince's regulations were to be reduced to the duke's regulations, and the craftsmen of Ouchi were busy for more than half a year before transforming this prince's palace into a duke's palace. It is said to be a downgrade, but it is only a reduction in the number of gold nails on the door, a change in the color of the glazed tiles on the wall, and the removal of the plaque of the palace...... The size of the entire mansion has not changed, the rooms have not been missing, and there has been no change in the flowers, trees, windows and pavilions inside.
It can be said that Wang Xian's Duke's Mansion is more magnificent and luxurious than the prince's mansion in the world, and it is the residence of several other princes, which is far from being comparable......
It's a pity that Wang Xian didn't plan to move his family to live, and even his wife and children stayed in Jinan, living in such a big house alone, it was really empty, so he simply let all his guards live in. With 2,000 people living in, the house didn't seem so empty.
As soon as he returned home, the guards reported: "The two brothers, Zhang Fu and Zhang Hui, are here." ”
"Oh?" Wang Xian didn't expect that Zhang Fu would come so early, and he thought that the arrogant grandfather would hold out for a few more days.
"They came early in the morning." The guard added: "The subordinates said that the adults would come back in the evening and asked them to come back another day, but the two refused to leave and waited there. ”
"Got it." Wang Xian nodded, pondered for a while, changed his clothes, and went to the flower hall to meet the Zhang brothers.
Through the screen, Wang Xian glanced inside, only to see Zhang Hui pacing in the hall with his hands behind his back anxiously, but Zhang Fu was like an old monk in a fixed position, looking ahead with his eyes and sitting there motionless.
Suddenly, Zhang Fu's eyes rolled, and his gaze drifted to where Wang Xian was, obviously having discovered his arrival.
"Haha!" Wang Xian laughed loudly and turned out from behind the screen, hugged his fists to the Zhang brothers and said, "Wait a long time!" Sins, sins, sins! ”
"Don't dare!" After Zhang Fu got up, he knelt on the ground as soon as he lifted the corner of his robe to Wang Xian, and said in a deep voice: "The sinner is here to ask the grandfather for his guilt!" ”
Seeing that his eldest brother knelt down for Wang Xian without saying a word, Zhang Hui was taken aback, so he had to reluctantly kneel on the ground.
"Grandpa, what are you doing here?" Wang Xian was taken aback, he didn't expect Zhang Fu to be so open-minded. A man has gold under his knees, not to mention that the British male was born noble and outstanding, who did he bow his head to in his life?
This is exactly what Zhang Fu is so spicy, since he is here to surrender, he must have the appearance of bowing down. I have to twist and pinch to death to save face, and in the end I can only bring humiliation on myself. To this day, how could Zhang Fu not understand that no one in this world can handle Wang Xian? At least he Zhang Fu doesn't have that ability.
"Grandpa, sinners have bad intentions, sinners deserve death, they should have been cut by a thousand cuts, but Grandpa is merciful, not only did he kill them all, but also left a glimmer of life for us, sinners are pigs, dogs, grass and trees, and I can't help but be grateful, thank you Grandpa for preserving!" Zhang Fu said that the old tears were vertical and horizontal, and he kowtowed to Wang Xian heavily.
"......" Wang Xian sighed, this is the difference between understanding people and stupid people, Xue Huan's idiot, he has to tell the truth thoroughly to know his good intentions. And Zhang Fu only looked at his own arrangement, and he understood everything, and he didn't need to talk nonsense at all.
Yes, Wang Xian just wants to keep the honors, otherwise he will not kill those die-hard forbidden army generals. If he is left alive and strictly interrogated, it is easy for him to fabricate charges and raise a prison and wipe out all the nobles. It is a fact that the nobles rebelled against the palace, whether to dig out the truth and severely punish them, the masterminds behind the scenes, are all in Wang Xian's thoughts.
Of course, if Wang Xian had appeared early, the nobles would not have dared to make a mistake, and the situation would definitely be much better than now, but it was not in the interests of Wang Xian, Wang Xian just wanted to make the nobles half dead, and they could only obediently survive under their wings.
The nobles can see Wang Xian as the enemy who knocked them down to the earth, or they can see him as the benefactor who saved them from the general, and this is all in their thoughts.
Just like Wang Xian will not make choices based on feelings, but will weigh what is beneficial to himself. Zhang Fu is also not emotional, although he must hate Wang Xian to death in his heart...... That's almost certain, how could the invincible British Duke ever suffer such a fiasco? It's like a fool, being fooled by others. Can he not want to take revenge? Get this bad breath out?
But reason told the British Duke that the huge gap in strength between the two sides gave him no chance to turn over, at least in the Hong Xi Dynasty. Moreover, he and the nobles must rely on Wang Xian to barely pass this level, otherwise the whole army will be wiped out, what future can we talk about?
Therefore, Zhang Fu wisely chose to treat Wang Xian as a benefactor and surrendered completely and unconditionally!
Since Zhang Fu is so upright, there is no need for Wang Xian to talk nonsense, he sighed again, and helped the British brother up: "To put it bluntly, this country is neither your Zhang family, nor my Wang family, but the Zhu family." We can't fight to the death, and let others take advantage of the fisherman's profits in vain. ”
Wang Xian's words are also heartfelt, he knows the calculations of the civil officials, they want to push themselves out and fight to the death with Xungui. Although the nobles are now in danger, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the background and power are far superior to him, the upstart nouveau riche. Even if he can win in the end, it will be a situation of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 of himself.
Of course, Wang Xian would not be stupid enough to be a gun for the civil officials, so he wanted to keep the honors and nobles and let them use them for their own use, rather than being his enemy.
After listening to Wang Xian's words, Zhang Fu nodded again and again, and said with sincerity: "What Grandpa said is too right, we are just too confused, and we will almost be lost." ”
Wang Xian waved his hand and said with a straight face: "Grandpa, although I have the heart to preserve, but this time the matter is too big, and it is definitely impossible to downplay the past." ”
"I know that." Zhang Fu said with a respectful face: "Listen to the grandfather, if anyone dares to disagree, I will not be the first to spare him." ”
"With the words of the British Princess, my heart is much more steady." Wang Xian nodded with a smile, stretched out three fingers and said: "There are three main points, one is that the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies cannot exist, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will temporarily complete the reorganization and reorganization of the army." ”
Although "this ......" is all up to Wang Xian, if you really want to accept it, it is really difficult to swallow this bitter fruit. The nobles control the world's army, relying on the system of the governorship of the five armies. Although Emperor Taizu set up five prefectures and divided military powers, it was to prevent excessive concentration of military power, which would threaten the imperial power. However, it also objectively caused a situation in which the five provinces were not subordinate to each other, and the army was full of mountains, which on the contrary swelled the power of the nobles, and as a result, a powerful group was formed.
Once the military power is to be reunified, the status of the nobles will inevitably be greatly affected, and it is impossible to restore the grand occasion of the past.
But Zhang Fu was clear after all, and knew that this result was inevitable, and he didn't even take Wang Xian's will as a transfer. Taking a deep breath, he nodded and agreed, "It's all up to Grandpa." ”
"Good!" Wang Xian nodded with a smile, put away a finger and said, "Second, the army must be changed from a world military system to a conscription system!" ”
"This ......" Zhang Fu gasped, his expression even more tangled than Fang Cai. Wang Xian, this is going to cut off the roots of Xungui!
The so-called world military system is a military household system created by Emperor Taizu and dominated in the Ming army. Back then, Emperor Taizu adhered to the simple concept that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the sons of mice can make holes, and all the soldiers who fought the world with him were organized into military households. Not only do these military families have to serve as soldiers themselves, but their children and grandchildren must be hereditary soldiers and must not leave the military status.
This is one of the fundamental reasons why the forces in the military are intertwined and cannot be spilled. Think about it, everyone in the army can be involved, your father once stood guard for Lao Tzu, my brother once carried a gun with your uncle, when the whole army is full of this relationship, it will inevitably become a closed small society, and outsiders will not be able to intervene at all.
It can be said that this is the fundamental reason why the Xungui Group dares to argue with the emperor! However, Wang Xian wants to change this system and replace military households with recruitment! What is conscription? That is, the imperial court paid for recruitment, and the strong men voluntarily signed up, and the two parties agreed on the number of years, and they were discharged home when they expired. In this way, the relationship between officers and soldiers will be much purer. The object of the soldier's allegiance will naturally change from the commander to the court, which can greatly strengthen the court's control over the army.
And this is of great benefit to improving the combat effectiveness of the army, and the only thing that may be unhappy is Xungui. But at this moment, Zhang Fu is no longer happy, so he can only pinch his nose and admit it.
"It's all up to Grandpa's orders." When he said this, Zhang Fu's voice trembled obviously, and his face was a little pale, obviously agreeing to these two conditions made him very painful, and what made Zhang Fu even more worried was that the conditions were more excessive than the other, and he didn't know what the third one would be...... What if it's even more excessive? Although I have already made up my mind, I have to accept many excessive conditions. But he really felt that he was on the verge of being unacceptable...... If it's too much, even if you reluctantly agree, the nobles won't agree!
"Good." Wang Xian smiled, curled up another finger and said, "Third, Grandpa, please return to Jiaozhi immediately, there is a mess there, only you can clean up the situation." ”
"What?" Zhang Fu looked at Wang Xian in surprise, he didn't expect the third condition to be like this. (To be continued.) )
