c_t; Using intelligence agencies to monitor internally, Zhang Jiashi does not think this is a good thing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info [Marshmallow updates quickly, the website page is refreshing, there are few advertisements, I like this kind of website the most, I must praise it]

However, as its very important position, Zhang Jiashi has to admit that although this method is not recognized by him, it is a pity that this method has its own inevitability and corresponding efficiency.

Of course, because Jinyiwei was abolished again at the end of the Hongwu period, the Battle of Jingyan lost the initial intelligence control in a sense.

However, the argument that Jinyiwei can effectively avoid the appearance of the Battle of Jingjing and even reverse the trend of the Battle of Jingjing is probably a meaningless setting.

Because the Battle of Jingjing itself is not a corresponding situation that Jinyiwei can easily face......

This can be seen in several factors:

First, the Battle of Jingjing itself was a scene directed by Zhu Yuanzhang himself in order to consolidate his rule.

In April of the third year of Hongwu (1370), Zhu Yuanzhang, who ascended to the throne through a peasant uprising, in order to ensure that the Zhu Ming Dynasty could rule for thousands of generations, on the one hand, he strengthened the rule of the monarch and firmly held the military and political power in the hands of the emperor alone, on the other hand, he tried every means to strengthen the power of the royal family itself, and the specific method was to divide the kings. He made 25 members of the clan (24 sons and 1 grandson) vassal kings, stationed them on the northern border and in strategic locations throughout the country, hoping to use them to establish the royal family of the domain. Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The world is so big, it will build a feudal screen, defend the country on the top, and live on the people. "From a national point of view, there are two main types of these feudal domains, one is the belly, and the other is the border fortress. The feudal kings established royal palaces in their own fiefdoms, set up official subordinates, and their status was quite high.

Each vassal king has food and 10,000 stones, and has military command, and has the prince's guard command in the palace, with three guards under the jurisdiction of the army, and 3,000 guards and 1 guards. 90,000 people. The nine border kings (Liao, Ning, Yan, Gu, Dai, Jin, Qin, Qing, and Su) had the important task of defending against the invasion of the Mongol nobles, so there were many guards in the armor. Zhu Di, the fourth son of Beiping, had 100,000 troops, and Zhu Quan, the seventeenth son of Daning, "brought 80,000 armor and 6,000 leather cars". They were responsible for building cities and fields, training generals, inspecting key points, and supervising the manufacture of weapons. The King of Jin and the King of Yan went out to fight many times to defeat the army of the remnants of the Mengyuan Dynasty, which was particularly valued, and the generals in the army were all subject to its control, and even the small matters in the army of the two kings were self-determined, and the major matters were reported to the imperial court. Especially King Yan, because of his outstanding achievements, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered him to "control the horses along the border" and have a unique status.

It can be seen that the decision-making of the so-called vassal Gongwei Central Committee has become a deep-rooted problem in the Zhu Yuanzhang period, and after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, many of the strength of these vassal kings are not something that the Jianwen court in the Zhu Yunwen period can easily face.

The second is because a minister named Ye Boju advised Zhu Yuanzhang in this regard, but he suffered a tragic death, which became another evidence of Zhu Yuanzhang's tiger breeding:

Ye Boju, the word is rising, a native of Ninghai, Zhejiang Province at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. (At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a literary name, and the weak crown traveled between the doctors.) In the early years of Ming Hongwu, he entered the country to study in the country. In the eighth year of Hongwu (1375), Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, issued an edict to select the students of Guozijian to serve in the north, preach political education, abolish the bad customs of light literature at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and revitalize the folk reading atmosphere. Boju was distributed to Shanxi and served as a Confucian instructor in Pingyao.

In the ninth year of Hongwu (1376), due to the abnormal situation of the celestial phenomena, the old world was called the star change, and the feudal society people believed that it was a warning from the heavens, marking the great disaster of the country or the injustice of the world. Zhu Yuanzhang then issued an edict, asking people from all over the world to write to the imperial court, point out political gains and losses or unfairness, and make criticisms or suggestions. After reading the edict, Boju decided to focus on the gains and losses of the imperial court, and pointed out some major drawbacks related to the national government and constitution, and advised the emperor. I said to my friends: I think, "There are three major things that can cause great disasters today, two things are easy to see clearly but break out late, and one thing is difficult to see clearly but break out early, even if the emperor does not issue an edict to ask for advice, I have a heart to write and make it clear, not to mention that the emperor understands that the order is for people to speak boldly and bluntly, and I am determined to write a book to explain the problems I see." Then he drafted the "Feng Zhao Chen Yanshu", and shouted, "There are three things that have happened today: the division is too extravagant, the punishment is too complicated, and the treatment is too fast." "Criticize Zhu Yuanzhang for wrongly treating intellectuals and literati.

As for the issue of the division of kings, Ye Boju had a lot of descriptions at the beginning of "Feng Zhao Chen Yanshu":

"The system of the first king, most of them are only one of the three kingdoms, the upper and lower are equal, and each has a fixed score, so the strong cadres and weak branches, curb the source of chaos and worship the ear. Now the land is divided into feuds, so that the kings have their own land, cover and punish the Song and Yuan Dynasty in isolation, and the disadvantages of the clan not competing. And the kingdoms of Qin, Jin, Yan, Qi, Liang, Chu, Wu, and Shu all connected dozens of provinces. The city palace is inferior to the capital of the Son of Heaven, and it is superior to the prosperity of the armor guards. After a few generations, the tail will not be lost, and then the land will be cut and the power will be seized, and there will be hope. Even if it arises from chance, there is no way to prevent it. The speaker said: 'All the kings are flesh and blood of the Son of Heaven, although the land is divided widely, and although the legislation is extravagant, how can there be a reason to resist?' Why don't you look at the affairs of the Han and Jin dynasties? Xiaojing, the grandson of Emperor Gao, and the kings of the Seven Kingdoms, all the same grandfathers, brothers, and descendants of Emperor Jing. As soon as the ground is cut, the army will be formed to the west. The kings of the Jin Dynasty were all the grandsons of Emperor Wu, and after the change of the world, they attacked each other one after another, and then became the trouble of Liu and Shi. In other words, if the system is overrun, disaster will arise. Citing the past proves the present, and it is clear. This minister is too much.

Xi Jiayi persuaded Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty to divide the land of all countries and leave it vacant for the princes and grandchildren. If Emperor Wen said to Emperor Wen as soon as possible, there will be no disaster of the Seven Kingdoms. I wish that before the kings of the kingdom, they will reduce the system of their capitals, reduce their guards, limit their territory, and wait for the descendants of the kings. This system is certain, and then the kings have virtuous and talented people into the auxiliary minister, and the rest of the world is the screen, and the country rests together. Cut the grace of the moment, make the benefits of the world, eliminate the changes of the sky and settle the society, do not precede this. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang saw Boju's recital, reprimanded him for his jealousy, and shouted angrily: "Kid, my flesh and blood, catch him quickly, I will shoot him to death with my own hands!" So he sent officers and soldiers to gallop through the starry night and send Boju to Nanjing. After arriving in Beijing, the minister of the court and the central government knew that his words caused the emperor's anger, and he had the intention to protect him, and the prime minister took advantage of Zhu Yuanzhang's happiness to play Boju and arrest him, and asked the criminal department to interrogate and punish the crime, and Zhu Yuanzhang agreed. Boju was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, where he was tortured and starved to death.

In such a situation, even if Zhu Yuanzhang did not abolish Jinyiwei at the end of the period, it may not be that Jinyiwei has a sufficient important role in the corresponding intelligence of the vassal king.

The third is the corresponding problem of the Jianwen court:

After Emperor Jianwen succeeded to the throne, he was worried about these imperial uncles. In the first month of the first year of Jianwen (1399), not long after Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, sent Shi Gecheng to the court. Zhu Yunwen then asked Ge Cheng about the Yanwang Mansion, and Ge Cheng told him the truth, but sent him back to the Yanwang Mansion as an internal response. Ge Cheng returned to King Yan's Mansion, and Zhu Di couldn't help but be suspicious when he saw that his expression was wrong. Immediately, Zhu Di personally entered the court, and he relied on his identity as the emperor's uncle, and went straight to the palace on the imperial road, and did not worship His Majesty. Zeng Fengshao, the superintendent of the imperial history, impeached him for being disrespectful, and Zhuo Jing, the household servant, also played secretly, and suggested that King Yan be "extremely wise", and suggested that he be emigrated to Nanchang, but Zhu Yunwen politely refused as "close relatives of flesh and blood". Zhu Di realized that the court had a bad heart for him, and after returning to the Yan Palace, he excused himself from illness to observe the changes in the situation.

So Emperor Jianwen discussed with Qi Tai, the secretary of the military department, and Huang Zicheng, who was too powerful and difficult to control, and advocated cutting the domain.

In the order of cutting the domain, Qi Tai thought that the strongest Yan King should be cut first, but Huang Zicheng objected, thinking that Yan Wang had no merit and no fault, and in order to win the support of public opinion, he should first find the prince with the problem. Emperor Hui supported Huang Zicheng and deposed five princes successively.

In July of the 31st year of Hongwu (at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was dead, and the new monarch Zhu Yunwen did not change the yuan, so he continued to use the Hongwu year name), and cut the king of Zhou. Because King Zhou was the half-brother of King Yan, and Zhu Yunwen was afraid that he would collude with King Yan, so he decided to abolish King Zhou first. When Zhu Youjiao, the second son of the king of Zhou, accused his father of rebellion, so he sent Li Jinglong, the prince of Cao Guo, to pass through Kaifeng in the name of preparing for the border, and escorted the whole family of the king of Zhou back to Nanjing, abolished as a concubine, and moved to Menghua, Yunnan.

In April of the first year of Jianwen (1399), the three princes of Qi, Hunan and Dai were abolished as concubines. The king of Xiang was humiliated and moved his family to protect his name, the king of Qi was placed under house arrest in Nanjing, and the king of Dai was placed under house arrest in the fiefdom of Datong. Two months later, he cut the king of Min, abolished him as a concubine, and migrated to Zhangzhou.

Due to the intensification of the contradictions between the imperial court and the feudal domain, the feudal king and the imperial court began to break up, and at this time, the strongest Yan Wang became the real head of the feudal domains. And the game between Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di has gradually intensified.

In this record, it can be clearly seen that although Zhu Yunwen has the corresponding plan to cut the domain, there is no doubt that he and Huang Zicheng, who is quite trusting: King Yan has no merits, and in order to win the support of public opinion, he should first find the prince in question.

Well, for this kind of person who is in a hurry with IQ, Zhang Jiashi said: Scholars rebel and fail in ten years......

And the more important thing is that when the battle of Jingyan was fierce, he changed the commander of the Ming army as he did not know the military affairs:

Emperor Jianwen heard of the defeat of Geng Bingwen's army, and according to Huang Zicheng's recommendation, appointed Li Jinglong, the son of Li Wenzhong, the Duke of Cao Guogong, as the general to replace Geng Bingwen to fight against the Yan army.

Well, in a sense, Huang Zicheng's loyalty is certainly true, but like this kind of strange person who often does bad things with good intentions, he might as well not do anything at first.

And from some evaluations, such as Zhang Tingyu's "History of the Ming Dynasty": "Qi, Huang, Fang, and Lian Zhiqi are loyal to the country, but there is no strategy to win." However, his loyalty and indignation are stimulated, and he regards the knife and saw the wok, and he is still alive and vigorous. How can those who disregard the affairs of the state and thank themselves with death be said on the same day!" It can be seen that even the people of later generations have to think that these people have good intentions and do bad things......

Loyalty is important, but the harm of a loyal servant who does not have the ability to do so is equally harmful.

(ps: The encyclopedia about Huang Zicheng really needs to be modified, just like the person described in "Over the Taichang Temple", not just Huang Zicheng, the latter part is to describe Fang Xiaoru: such as the public festival righteousness and righteousness, and live up to the first class of the department.) Chao's miscalculation is more painful to alleviate worries, and Jing Long's mistaken hatred is difficult to accept. Once the monarch and ministers were thin, and the different generations were steaming and tasting treachery and shame. The most sad is everywhere, and there are more than ten clans into the eyes. After all, only Fang Xiaoru was killed by the Ten Clans. )

And if such a person is in charge of the government, even if Zhu Yuanzhang did not dismiss Jinyiwei, I am afraid that Jinyiwei will not survive the period of Jingjing.

......

Despite this, the intelligence role of Jinyiwei basically did not have enough role in the Battle of Jingjing.

But there is no doubt that that is the role played by Jinyiwei, and in many cases, it also has a corresponding role.

For example, in the battle against foreign enemies, such as the "Three Great Expeditions of Wanli", the role played by Jinyiwei is undoubtedly quite huge.

What Zhang Jiashi needs is not a "brocade guard" with considerable power Therefore, in the early stage of building this intelligence organization, Zhang Jiashi gave Chen Ping a hard indicator, that is, in an emergency situation, for example, in the intelligence personnel who obtained the corresponding information, they could judge their next move according to the corresponding situation, and other situations, such as whether they had the corresponding processing authority for the corresponding target, etc., Zhang Jiashi did not approve of Jinyiwei's style, so he still chose a relatively inefficient coordination method with other departments to deal with it accordingly.

Of course, Zhang Jiashi knew very well that it was better for such an organization to separate the military and political systems, after all, if the scope involved was too large, once its influence reached a certain scale, it would certainly not be a good thing.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

And in the next file, the punishment of its officials became more and more severe. What to abolish the position and the corresponding military merit is already a trivial matter.

However, after all, there has not been a direct execution of criminal ministers in the past court meetings. This has allowed many officials who know in their hearts that they have a big problem to get away with it.

It's a pity that as fewer and fewer files are read one by one, these lucky people know that Zhang Jiashi has no intention of letting them go.

For example, Song Dang, who is currently serving as the county guard of Xiangjun County, was temporarily appointed as the county guard after Tu Sui led his army north, and Song Dang, who was officially appointed by Zhang Jiashi in 203 BC, heard the guilt that was basically consistent with the facts, and the fine sweat on his forehead became more and more.

And when the chamberlain who heard this reading actually read out that the result of his disposition was directly on the edge of the moat south of Xianyang Palace, Song Dang suddenly couldn't calm down.

However, Yu Yong, who had been prepared for a long time, called a few Zhonglang who were waiting outside the palace, directly took off Song Dang's official hat, and then escorted him out of the main hall of Xianyang Palace.

It's just that because Song Dang continued to roar on the road where he was escorted, Zhang Jiashi's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and after Yu Yong saw Zhang Jiashi's expression, he used his eyes to signal a few Lang Zhong who were not far away, and removed Song Dang's jawbone so that he could no longer speak......

While listening to the attendant continue to read the remaining files, Zhang Jiashi's eyes couldn't help but focus on Qin Min in the crowd......
