Chapter 187: The Root of Interests
Emperor Zhengde was unhappy because he was not interested in being a general soldier, let alone purging the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu, what he wanted was to be able to raise the whip on the battlefield and have a few hearty battles!
But Zhu Houzhao also knew that if the rear was not rectified, he would have to worry about it even if he went out, so in the end he could only pinch his nose and admit it, otherwise, this guy might have to raise the bar with the emperor in front of all the generals in the big tent.
As for the generals' thoughts, it can be clearly concluded from this appointment that the Son of Heaven wants to make a move on the nine-sided army, and wants to complete the transformation of the nine-sided border army like the whole training of the Shence army, and then the border army will be a tiger and a tiger, if Dayan Khan comes to attack the border again, he dare not say that he will not return, at least he can make it suffer heavy losses, and there will be no more strength to break the border!
"Weng Xing."
Weng Xing, the deputy general of the Blood Battle Battalion, came out of the column and said loudly: "The last general."
"It's a tiger general." Zhu Houwei said with a smile: "I appointed you as the commander of the second battalion of the Shence Army, and led the soldiers and horses of the second battalion to Liaodong, and served as the chief military officer of Liaodong, and reorganized the military of Liaodong."
"The last general obeys!"
Subsequently, Zhu Houwei successively served as the commander of the third battalion to the sixth battalion, the third battalion went to Jizhen, the fourth battalion went to Guyuan, the fifth battalion went to Yansui, and the sixth battalion was stationed in Shanxi......
As a result, only Ningxia and Gansu are left in the Ming Nine-Border Military Town, but the border situation in these two places is not serious, and it is not yet in Zhu Houwei's rectification this time.
The Xiao Cavalry Battalion, the Blood Battle Battalion and the Shenji Battalion, the three major battalions were mixed and cancelled, and the original Shence Army was left with only two soldiers and horses, the Forward Battalion and the Tiger Battalion.
At the beginning, Zhu Houwei had a comprehensive consideration for the reorganization of the Shence Army, and the three battalions that were mixed were his sword for reforming the nine sides, and once the nine sides were rectified, they could jointly send troops to attack the grassland anytime and anywhere.
As for the Tiger Battalion, because it is a heavy armor soldier, it is not conducive to defending the city and the grassland rush battle, so Zhu Houwei is not prepared to transfer the Tiger Camp to the north, the Tiger Camp is used on the southern coast, and their enemy is the Japanese Bandits!
To put it bluntly, the Japanese are a group of wandering warriors who failed in the battle of the Japanese Kingdom, and then they are wrapped up in countless people who can't survive along the coast of the Ming Dynasty and go to the sea to become thieves, and in turn plunder the coast.
The combat effectiveness of this group of dwarves is definitely not as strong as touted in the history books, to put it bluntly, the garrison is too wasteful, otherwise with a little combat effectiveness, it will not be possible for thousands of people in a guard station to be chased and killed by dozens or hundreds of widows, let alone let just two widows swagger into the county seat.
According to the calculation of the probability of the Japanese invaders landing, the places where the Japanese invaders like to go ashore most are concentrated in Ningbo, Yancheng and Hangzhou, and the Tiger Ben battalion has an establishment of 15,000, and no 15,000 heavy infantry is used in any place, so it is natural that it must be dispersed.
"I plan to abolish the ...... of the World Guard" Zhu Houwei didn't need to say this to the generals present, but he still said it, and the reason why he said it was because of Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao's expression behind the mask twitched, he really looked away at his younger brother before, where would this guy be willing to go to Huzhou to be an Ansheng vassal king, and be his quail, this is clearly a colorful tiger lying on his stomach and opening his bloody mouth at any time.
Some time ago, Zhu Houwei rectified the vassal kings of the world, and Zhu Houzhao pinched a cold sweat, but the final outcome was somewhat unexpected by him.
Hundreds of vassal kings who were deceived by their younger brother to the capital, for the sake of their own lives and the safety of their direct descendants, the last one chose to give in, which is also human nature, after all, resistance may not be useful but will definitely die.
In any era, no matter how noble your status is, as long as you raise an army is a rebellion, then as long as the rebellion fails, you will definitely die.
Zhu Houzhao is clear, and the vassal kings know better, maybe Zhu Houwei wants a few vassal kings who don't know whether they are alive or dead to jump out and kill Liwei for him, so he chose to accept his fate, after all, no one wants to be the chicken that was killed, this is the foundation of Zhu Houwei's ability to solve the trouble of the vassal king without danger, and it also reflects Zhu Houwei's ability to perceive human nature.
Zhu Houzhao doesn't care about the affairs of the court, and if he vetoes him, he won't even throw the throne directly like throwing stinky socks, but the military camp is not a completely closed world, and the small things outside may not be careless, but the big things should be another matter.
For example, Yan Zheng, his younger brother killed the salt industry market with lightning speed, directly drained the water in the bottomless salt tank, and then injected new clear spring water, which completely caught the officialdom off guard.
What is it? This is a pure means, Zhu Houwei knew that if he wanted to reform the salt government, he would inevitably be hindered by the Manchu Dynasty, so with the respect of the emperor, he even played a hand to cut first and then play, and Zhu Houzhao who played this hand was really eye-opening.
Zhu Houzhao himself also thought about what he would do if he was asked to do something to the vassal king and Yanzheng?
After thinking about it, I didn't think of a way to trick the king of the world into entering the capital, of course, Zhu Houwei's accession to the throne was an opportunity, but my younger brother was very keen to grasp this opportunity!
As for the salt policy, it is simpler, he will send his henchmen eunuchs or officials to the south to investigate the collusion between officials and businessmen, and then punish a group of officials and salt merchants in the name of corruption, but he will inevitably fall into endless court battles.
In contrast, the younger brother's methods are too clever, he killed officials and merchants as fast as a storm, and then directly convened all the businessmen, announced the contract system, and contracted out the salt field in a very short period of time, resulting in the established fact, and the speed was not enough to give the court the slightest time to react and respond.
However, neither the vassal king nor the salt administration really touched the root of the Ming interest group.
What are the interests of the Ming Dynasty at all? One is Wen and the other is Wu!
Wen is not only an official, but also refers to the people who read all over the world, and the interests of the scholars are fundamentally Taoism and land!
There is no need to repeat the Taoist system, this is the absolute foundation of the Confucian scholars who have controlled the government for two thousand years, and the slightest loss is absolutely not allowed, otherwise the Confucian ministers of the dynasty are saints and sinners, even if they die, they can't die Ansheng, and they don't even have to think about the name after their deaths.
The second is the land, the Ming Dynasty treats scholars leniently, and the degree of leniency is even far greater than that of the Song Dynasty, which is known as the most prosperous literary style, and the ultimate embodiment of leniency is the land tax exemption.
According to the meritorious tax exemption system, officials from Jinshi have the right to tax exemption of 2,000 mu, 400 mu for lifters, and 80 mu for Xiucai.
But in reality?
The so-called tax-free quota is simply a joke, once Xiucai is selected, it is simply normal to accept thousands of acres of land from farmers......
