Chapter 611: If something is abnormal, it is a demon
This Zhao Wang has a bright spring, and others may not have this good life.
Among them, the worst are those civil and military officials from Beijing.
On the one hand, everyone realized that these people are very likely to have a great relationship with His Royal Highness King Zhao, and everyone really doesn't want to offend His Royal Highness King Zhao, nor does they want to offend Hao Fenglou, after all, these two people can't be provoked now, but they can't afford to offend those who shouldn't be offended, but they can't offend you?
In a sense, Xie Jin's mood is very distressed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too peaceful these days, and An Fen is indeed right, at this moment, it is indeed not appropriate to act rashly, especially under the current situation where the attitude of the Son of Heaven is unclear, the prince of the country is better called the turtle grandson of the country, it is not good to be dormant, if you are not careful, you may give people and handles.
It's just that the situation can't be allowed to develop like this, and he must give His Royal Highness King Zhao a wake-up call, or rather, take the opportunity to let him retreat.
How to retreat in the face of difficulties is a test of Xie Jin.
For Xie Jin, as the prince's fellow party and biggest supporter, the prince's business is his business, and the problem that the prince is inconvenient to solve must be solved, but Xie Jin is also unusually sober at the same time, knowing that at this time, he should not take the lead, as for working against His Royal Highness King Zhao and Hao Fenglou, it is even more unnecessary.
Cleaning up King Zhao and Hao Fenglou, he is not without a way, but even if he makes some movement, what can he do, at most, it is just to vent his anger for the prince, but once it causes a backlash, the other party will be put to death and then quickly, if he really wants to work hard, he may not be able to have good fruits.
Therefore, Xie Jin can't come forward.
So. Who should come forward? It can not only teach His Royal Highness King Zhao to retreat in the face of difficulties, let him know that it is powerful, but at the same time, it is best to weaken the strength of King Zhao and Hao Fenglou. It's serious.
So in the past few days, Xie Jin has been a little uninspired every day, even if he is planning a ticket, he seems to be very unenergetic, everyone knows what this Xie Gong is planning, but no one dares to disturb him, on this day Xie Jin eats tea in the public house as usual. By the way, I met with several officials of the military department and the household department, and it was nothing more than about the purchase of firearms.
Another sequelae of the defense of Beijing is that the strength of the Shenjiwei has attracted the attention of the people of the world. The power of the fire gun has been recognized enough, and if it were other emperors, most of them would not care about this. And what about the imperial court. Most of them also have to say a few words like 'the suburbs are not cultivated, the temples are not enjoyed, and they are tricky and ingenious, what is the use of them'. In other words, can you rely on firearms to fight? The most important thing is the human heart, what is the human heart, just to educate. The so-called education has no class, although the eight Qiu Ba are bastards. If you are educated, most of them are willing to use their lives, as for fire guns, scare, such valuable things, what's the use of asking for them?
In fact, the Ming Dynasty's military policy, summed up in a sentence of later generations, is 'low-carbon environmental protection', the imperial court's treasury revenue and expenditure are limited, take the silver to raise soldiers, there is no way to do other things, therefore, this soldier, is nothing more than to make a military household system, in various places to set up a guard commander, the guard commander to grant the next household military field, military households, then casually distribute a number of clothing, and then issue farm tools, swords, usually honest farming, occasionally practice, once something happens, throw away the hoe, pick up the sword, you can go into battle. Throughout ancient and modern times, such a low-carbon and environmentally friendly method is unprecedented.
The imperial court can raise millions of soldiers and horses without spending a penny, which is not only affordable but also sufficient, and even Emperor Taizu can't help but be complacent, feeling that he has come up with a good prescription.
Therefore, the attitude of the imperial court towards raising soldiers, from Emperor Taizu to the present, has been infected by this kind of thinking, and raising soldiers also requires money, have you never seen the world when we are from the countryside?
And just then, when today's son doesn't see it this way, he is a person who leads the troops, and he knows that this guard system is already full of ills, but if you want to change it, how to start talking about it, if you don't change it, it seems to be like a fish in the throat, think twice, to overturn and start over, it is too difficult and too difficult, so if you can, you might as well make some improvements.
And His Royal Highness King Zhao happened to present a charter, and after Zhu Di read it, he was very interested in his appetite, and immediately praised Zhu Gaosui fiercely, and then issued an edict.
The content of the edict is very simple, it is nothing more than that each guard selects fifty strong men, detached from production, so that they can practice day and night, and the imperial court is responsible for purchasing firearms, and the ammunition needed for training is raised by each guard itself. In addition, the Divine Machine Battalion has all changed to the latest firearm drills, and all of them imitate the Divine Guards in the practice of qiē drills. The border towns purchased a number of guns, and also organized a battalion of divine machines, which were divided into various places in case of contingency.
This is tantamount to a small operation for the Ming army, all of them are taken to change, it is not possible, and the court really does not have so much energy, since this is the case, then there will be a small-scale reform, such as a guard of people, there are about 5,000 to 8,000 people, those commanders and thousands of households, all of them exploit the military households, Zhu Di has known about this matter for a long time, but he knows that this guard system is full of shortcomings, but there is a great benefit, that is, to save money, since it saves money, then continue to save it, but each guard, specially dispatched fifty people to practice, As for the firecracker, the supply of the imperial court is just ammunition and the like, but you are responsible for the guards, once you find out that you are deceived and concealed, you will be immediately dismissed and investigated, which is what the guards can bear.
Each guard is fifty people, and there are hundreds of guards in the world, and when it comes to wartime, these elite firecrackers can be gathered together to form a considerable force, even in the local area, if there is an ordinary civil uprising, it will be of great help to have the help of this small group of firecrackers.
As for the Jingying and border towns, the Shenji Battalion was retrained to form a Shenji Battalion with a number of roughly 15,000 to 25,000 soldiers, and the imperial court could barely cope with it.

Since the edict has come down, then it is only a matter of the household department and the military department to quarrel.
Speaking of which, the son of heaven is a father, just enjoy it, after enjoying it, lift your pants and leave, if you are unfortunate enough to have a child, this hard work will naturally be handed over to the cabinet.
Xie Jin was patient, listening to the officials of the two ministries insisting on their own words, this kind of thing, he had already been mentally prepared, speaking of which, it was still a matter of money. However, there is one thing, there is a consensus between the two ministries, that is, the problem of the manufacture of firecrackers, to make this new type of firecrackers, according to the meaning of the Hao family, that is, the original bureau of construction is only afraid of not succeeding, the court needs to open a new bureau, re-recruit some familiar craftsmen, and at the same time need to build the latest blast furnace, prepare the latest mold Yunyun, these things, think about it will teach people headaches, on the one hand, it is to wait for this bureau to come out, and I don't know how to do it in the year of the monkey, and the early investment is expensive, and it will continue to be maintained in the future. It's really worth the loss, so it's better to go directly to Langshan to buy it.
It's just that this is a huge amount of money, and it can't help but hurt, so you have to toss a few times.
Xie Jin was a little tired of listening, knowing that there would be no result today, so he simply picked up the tea, ate slowly, and said: "Today, it's here, the old man comes to see, you guys, you clearly don't want to put down this errand, but whoever wants to do things, how can they be like this and refuse to give in half a step, the difficulty, where is it, but where is the way of the economy, there is no difficulty, but no matter how difficult it is, you have to do things well, Your Majesty is particularly concerned about this matter, the old man first said the ugly words in front, and His Majesty will be punished when the time comes, The old man can't eat and walk around, the old man is uncomfortable, what about you...... Don't think it's any better. ”
When these people heard this, they couldn't help laughing, and they all said: "It's the lower official Meng Lang, and the words are a little more intense." ”
Xie Jin shook his head: "It's okay to be fierce, what you are fighting for is political opinion after all, and it's not for private matters, it's right to slow things down, but sometimes, you can't drag it out too much, it's not good." ”
Xie Jin roughly set the direction, and it was a small beating, waiting for them to come up with an acceptable plan in private, and then discuss it.
In fact, this matter is not very urgent, just so as not to be speechless when His Majesty asks.
Xie Jin's eyes raised slightly, as if he remembered something, and asked the squire of the military department: "Recently, I heard that there are many intrigues in Jingying?" Do you know this? ”
The waiter surnamed Wu said: "There are some things to do, but they are all insignificant and not worth mentioning. ”
Xie Jin smiled: "Old man, look at it, in this world, there is nothing that is not worth mentioning, the military department, good life looks, what's the matter, say hello to the old man, old man, look at the Beijing camp, I'm afraid that something will happen, okay, don't delay your official business." As he spoke, Xie Jin picked up the teacup.
Everyone said goodbye one after another.
It's just that many people muttered in their hearts, why is this Xie Gong cold, but he is asking about the Beijing camp, is this Beijing camp also worthy of Xie Gong's attention?
If something is abnormal, it is a demon, and the more abnormal this thing is, the more suspicious it is.
Look at the meaning, it seems that Gong Xie is looking forward to something happening in Jingying.
Jingying ...... Jingying ......
Those who don't know the inside story are nothing, but a few officials of the military department suddenly thought of something in their hearts, and then thought about it carefully along the eyebrows, and finally their eyes lit up suddenly, and they finally understood.
