Chapter 119: Killing Chickens and Scaring Monkeys
After the 15th of August, the yamen began to get busy, and the holy decree of Burma and Siam abolishing the division of counties into nine provinces was also conveyed to all places, and the officials had submitted the candidates for the political envoys, the envoys of the inspectors, and the commanders of the provinces.
The political envoy is in charge of the administration of a province, and is in charge of grain storage, tuntian, post transmission, water conservancy, and people's care, and is the supreme chief executive of a province, and the opinion of the ministry is that Burma is still owned by Burmese, and Siam and other provinces still use Siamese people as political envoys.
The full name of the probationary envoy is to mention Xing according to the probationary envoy, and he is in charge of the matter of impeachment according to the name of the provincial punishment. Rectify official evil, rape and violence, settle prison lawsuits, snow grievances, and the power is also very great, the upper can picket officials, and the lower can judge the people's lawsuits, which is the judicial organ of a province, all of which are held by the Han people.
All command the military of a province. Together with the Political Envoy Department and the Inspectorate Division, it is called the Three Divisions. In the new dynasty, although the commanders of the capital could not recruit county soldiers, they could train a militia of about 2,000 people to deal with some small rebellions and small border disputes.
The commanders of the capital were cautious, and finally transferred thousands of households from each battalion to take up their posts, and the entire structure of local power was completed, and the government affairs were handled by local officials, while the Han people held the supervision and military powers. In addition, the scholars and officials in various places have also been properly prepared, they are all great Confucians in the Hanlin Academy, their responsibility is to proclaim the Quartet, can let the local people enter the school for free to learn Chinese, and teach the way of Confucius and Mencius, this free education is Zhu Jun's largest expenditure every year, at least 400,000 taels of silver from the treasury every year, but the benefits are also obvious, once the Burmese and Siamese people learn the Chinese language, and become the disciples and grandchildren of Confucianism, there will be no one who will rebel under the national banner.
Zhu Jun carefully checked the resumes of the officials of the three divisions, and confirmed that there were no before Zhu approved the officials to go to the local office, and the governors had not yet sat on the hot ass in office, and a decree came down again, and the edict was issued to the provinces to recruit and transfer 10,000 people to build a gallop road. The imperial court of each province allocated 800,000 taels of silver, and allocated a group of skilled Han masons, and ordered that the gallop road must be run through the provinces within one year.
"If anyone dares to discuss the strategy of galloping, I will not be forgiven, and if all kinds of government dare to delay the construction period, cut corners, and be greedy for silver. Raid the house and exterminate the family. I am preparing for this with the strength of the whole country, and no one wants to hold me back. "Zhu Jun has made a bloody investment this time, and nearly eight million taels of silver have been transferred out of the treasury, and the treasury is empty, if something goes wrong with the construction of Chidao, it will be a bloody loss.
Immediately after that, hundreds of brocade guards were assigned to various places to supervise the construction of the Chi Road, and the Ministry of Engineering also sent the director to inspect the quality of the cement road, and the patrol of the Ministry of Officials also began to go out of Beijing. Supervisory Officer. For a while, there was a lot of trouble in various places, but fortunately, Zhu Jun allocated enough money, and the people who were requisitioned had a monthly salary of five yuan of silver. It is more than making land for the landlords as tenants, but it is not afraid of the people's upheaval. The recruitment of new recruits for the Central Army has also gradually begun, and 10,000 sturdy Burmese and Siamese have been conscripted into the army. Recruitment announcements for Han Chinese from various countries in the South Seas have also been announced, in addition to higher salaries. The great victory of the Ming army in Burma, Siam, and northern Myanmar also made the Han people living in the diaspora see hope, they are still Han people in the end, originally disappointed in the Southern Ming and Yongli, and then saw that the Ming Dynasty stood up again, the new first emperor was diligent and loved the people, and the martial arts and martial arts were sooner or later to be the king of the north, and the wandering Han people in various places rekindled their hopes, and they moved their families to Haidu and signed up to join the army.
"Your Majesty, the Han population in Haidu has skyrocketed by 7,000 households. A total of 23,000 people, in addition, the central army's signs have been remarkable, 9,000 people have already registered, and in a few days, the quota of 10,000 Han troops will probably be full. Yang Side said.
"This time, the training of recruits has been changed from March to six months." Zhu Jun stroked the stubble that grew from the corner of his lips and continued, "I will personally supervise the training of recruits. ”
Yang Side nodded, Zhu Jun's temperament has become more and more unpredictable recently, such as the matter of Chidao, the courtiers have not yet discussed the result. The emperor has already made a will. As soon as the image of tolerance and benevolence was changed, anyone who went against the national policy of Chi Dao would be immediately dismissed from office and confiscated. For a while, the people in the court were panicked, and no one dared to say a word.
Zhu Jun casually picked up the tea and took a sip. said casually: "Yang Aiqing." I've heard that you've been fighting with the Donglin Party all day lately. Is there anything going on? ”
Yang Side was taken aback. In fact, the Donglin Party does not have a specific concept. It's just that everyone is like-minded. belongs to Qingliu and looks down on Zhou Mubai's faction. Yang Side hurriedly bowed down and said: "The minister has no intention of forming a party. Please ask the emperor to take a clear look. ”
Perceive? Mingcha has a fart. Zhu Jun was scolding in his heart. In the past few days, there has been a lot of uproar between the two parties. While using their respective residences to report on each other's scolding. While competing in the court. A few days ago, there was also an ugly incident of two factions of students fighting each other in a wine shop. Nowadays, the local party struggle is more complicated. It is not only mixed with traditional disputes such as interests and regions. With the rise of the Dibao Land. Disputes over fame, fortune, and academic land have also been added. For example, Cheng Zhu Lixue and Donglin School support Mu and Yang. And Xinxue thinks that Zhou Mubai's faction is more practical.
Hooligans are not scary, scary are hooligans cultured. These great Confucians fought against each other, and it was really extremely useless. Verbal and written criticism. Stir up disputes between the DPRK and the DPRK. The voice is full of eloquence from the past and the present. Haoran sneered openly and confidently. From astronomy to geography. From the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the New First Emperor today. From Zhao Gao to Qin Hui. There is only one purpose. It's about fixing you.
Zhu Jun has been suppressing himself for a long time in the past few days. This group of bastards holds Lao Tzu's land every day in a high-sounding manner. Honestly, Zhu Jun can still bear it. But jumping up and down like this. Zhu Jun couldn't bear it anymore. 、
Zhu Jun's face darkened. Dropped a piece of music at Yang Side's knees. said with a cold face: "You can take a good look." ”
Yang Side picked up the recital, and what was recorded in the recital was the evidence of the impeachment of Zhou Mubai, a cabinet scholar, for the crime of forming a party and running a private land, and under the recital was a dense signature, and the names of six out of ten of the six ministries and nine secretaries were written on it, which also included the joint performance of the cabinet assistant Mu Tianbo and Yang Side.
Zhu Jun had already taken the case and shouted: "You say that Zhou Mubai is a party for personal gain, I believe it!" Zhou Mubai has been pampered and proud recently, and I also believe it! But I'm not a fool, a small waiter of the Ministry of Rites was able to get two scholars in the cabinet, and more than 30 central ministers of the six ministries and nine secretaries to give him a joint guarantee, in order to overthrow Zhou Mubai, you can be regarded as using all your scheming. ”
"Death penalty!" Yang Side bowed to the ground in fear and kept kowtowing: "The minister's joint impeachment of Zhou Mubai is completely out of public intentions, and there is no favoritism. ”
Zhu Jun snorted coldly, Zhou Mubai's careful thinking Zhu Jun knows, what he is best at is to meet himself, slip his beard and pat the horse, everything is based on his own horse, this kind of behavior is naturally not tolerated by Qingliu, but Zhu Jun also knows that Zhou Mubai is just a character, plus he is a Xiucai background, and Qingliu is either a scholar or a Jinshijuren, and the thesis alone is a lot higher than Zhou Mubai, and Zhou Mubai is even more thrown by them five streets than his qualifications, and Zhou Mubai is still wearing open crotch pants when many people are lifted. Therefore, if Zhou Mubai wants to stabilize his position, only by relying on the big tree of Zhu Jun, absolute obedience to the emperor is his greatest political capital.
"Gongxin? Yang Aiqing is out of sincerity, isn't she afraid of being used as a gunman? Mu Aiqing, Zhou Aiqing and you are all my right-hand men, you don't want to cooperate with them to assist in national politics, but you are reprimanding your colleagues and impeaching them on trumped-up charges, I don't want to argue with you, you write a letter tomorrow asking for guilt, and you have been thinking about it behind closed doors at home these days. ”
"If there are any more people in the DPRK and China who impeach their colleagues in vain, I will be rewarded for finding out the evidence, but if anyone provokes disputes and troubles, I will be severely punished, and the first to punish the crime is you three cabinet scholars, understand?" Zhu Jun's tone carried undoubted majesty in it, and he said sharply.
The reason why only Yang Side was arrested this time was because Mu Tianbo was also an old minister, Zhu Jun couldn't bear to blame him, and Yang Side, this guy, was also coaxed, his grade was high, so he naturally used him to kill chickens and scare monkeys.
"Wechen knows." Yang Side didn't dare to defend anymore.
Zhu Jun raised the piece in his hand and said, "Since these full-fed Liubu Jiuqing are not doing their jobs, I will let them remember them for a long time." Spread the decree, except for Mu Fu, all the officials of the joint insurance were escorted to the door of the Confucian Temple to be punished with ten rods, and you, Yang Side, also went to receive this cane. ”
Yang Side's mouth opened and wanted to say a few words for the officials of the joint insurance, and finally swallowed it into his stomach, bowed his head and said: "Weichen leads the order, Weichen and your colleagues can't understand the holy will, and it is appropriate to suffer some flesh and skin, but many colleagues are old ministers, and Weichen is afraid that these people will be unbearable, if someone is killed by this cane, I am afraid that the emperor's reputation will be unfavorable, and please ask the emperor to pardon the old ministers who are over the age of sixteen on the thin face of Weichen, and let Weichen and all the strong ministers be punished on their behalf." ”
Zhu Jun was excited for a while, and at this time he calmed down a little, it is also a good idea to let the young minister suffer on behalf of the old minister, you need to know that these Qingliu are not afraid of being beaten, but they are not willing to owe favors to others, and it is unkind and unjust to make mistakes and let people live on their behalf, maybe in this way, the Qingliu people are afraid that the disaster will affect their colleagues and will stop some, so they said: "I am approved, the old ministers of the year of the sixtieth year will be exempted, and you young ministers will be punished with a cane, come on, take Yang Aiqing down to be punished." ”
Several Jinyi Wei Han generals (a type of formation in the Jin Yi Wei, unlike the Tiqi, the Han generals usually served as palace guards. Listening to the order, he strode in with a knife, Yang Side was a cabinet minister after all, and they didn't dare to twist him, but just followed Yang Side to watch and detain.
