Chapter 323: The Sailor Case
This kind of leading by example and daring to be the first is not something that ordinary officers can do, why did the Daming Sailor start to go downhill.
So much so that Zhu Youzhen would even rather directly build a new Daming Shandong Water Division, rather than find a way to reform the mess of the original Daming Water Division.
The old ship is one thing, and the more important thing is that the training level has been slackened to a very terrifying level, but Zhu Youzhen has not done nothing.
Regarding the development of sailors, it is actually to prepare for the future Ming Dynasty sailing era... If you say it more directly, then it is to prepare for the next colonial era that belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and today the Ming Dynasty is not without a naval army other than the Shandong Water Division.
You must know that in history, the Ming Dynasty sailors were quite strong, and Zheng He's seven trips to the West were not a joke...
To put it bluntly, a hundred years forward, the sailors of the Ming Dynasty dared to confront the whole world.
Even if it is fifty years forward, the naval army of the Ming Dynasty can easily drive out of the ocean and draw a big sea frontier for the Ming Dynasty...
It's just that there are a lot of problems encountered in the current Daming Water Division, which can be more illustrative in Zhu Youzhen's subsequent dialogue with Zhao Yunkai on the development of the Daming Water Division.
"Aiqing.. I want to know if if you can ensure that all the Daming sailors are deployed by you, can you ensure that the Daming Sea Frontier is safe. ”
As soon as he finished saying this, Zhao Yunkai, who was originally dancing with eyebrows on his face, instantly wilted... I couldn't help but open my mouth and said, "Your Majesty.. Your Majesty is talking about all the Great Ming Water Masters? ”
"Exactly! I think that the Shandong Sailor can make things happen, so it must not be difficult to add some burdens to you..."
The corners of Zhao Yunkai's mouth twitched slightly... After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to muster up the courage to tell the truth directly from what I was thinking.
"Your Majesty . . . The minister will not hide it and tell the truth directly to His Majesty... If only the Shandong Navy Division is deployed by the ministers, the ministers can keep the Ming Dynasty's border defense and sea borders unharmed, and if they go to war outside the ocean, the Shandong Navy Division can be used, and can be several times larger than the enemy..."
Zhu Youzhen nodded while motioning for Zhao Yunkai to continue.
"But if all the Daming Sailors are handed over to the ministers... I'm afraid it's just a matter of ensuring that Daming's coastal defense is a problem..."
Zhu Youzhen, who was also in a good mood, suddenly looked at Zhao Yunkai in disbelief and said, "How is this possible?" Aiqing has heard clearly what I said is to give you the power to deploy all the naval divisions of the entire Ming Dynasty, why is it better to give you the command of the Shandong naval divisions......? ”
Zhao Yunkai was also bitter.
When he said it, he knew that Zhu Youzhen would definitely ask like this, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Your Majesty... Why don't you introduce you to the other naval divisions except for the Daming Shandong Water Division..."
Zhu Youzhen was stunned, the problem was with the other sailors?
Then he said: "Then Aiqing will talk to me, I haven't paid attention to it for a long time." ”
"Your Majesty, the minister dared to talk about it..."
Zhao Yunkai cleared his throat and said: "Since Your Majesty first ascended to the Great Treasure, round after round of reforms have been carried out on all the guards of the Ming Dynasty, among which the Ministry of War has taken all the sailors as the objects of reform when reforming the guard system..."
"This is undoubtedly a great good thing for the Daming Water Master who is like a pool of stagnant water... But the development of things began to be wrong later, the Daming Water Division is all the soldiers of the guard, but the requirements of the restructuring of the military department are to let all the soldiers of the guard station return to their hometowns freely or re-train according to the region through the assessment, and then gradually join the Pingnan Army or stay in the place..."
Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen was still nodding his head, and he didn't notice anything unusual.
But when he said this, beads of sweat had begun to rise on Zhao Yunkai's forehead, and then he saw that Zhu Youzhen had no intention of interrupting... I have to put my heart sideways!
Let's get to the point!
"Minister... Please Your Majesty, thoroughly investigate the Great Ming Water Master! Save some sailors.."
Zhao Yunkai immediately knelt on the ground, and Zhu Youzhen's originally relaxed expression suddenly seemed to be pressed the pause button...
After a long pause... Only then did he reluctantly re-speak: "More than that, what happened concretely... Speak slowly to me, don't be in a hurry! ”
"Obey the order..."
....
History's record of the Daming Sailor is still too one-sided, and after listening to Zhao Yunkai's detailed introduction, Zhu Youzhen's brows have been deeply wrinkled together.
It took a long time to go from shock, anger, ease, and calm.
After the continuous alternation, Zhu Youzhen slowly spoke: "I know everything... Aiqing go down and rest for a while, these days in the capital, Shandong Sailor can repair a letter and let the adjutant for you for a while. ”
Zhao Yunkai didn't dare to raise his head, and whispered under Zhu Youzhen's gaze: "The minister obeys the order..."
.. In the evening, Zhu Youzhen rarely did not eat.
locked himself alone in the Dongnuan Pavilion and explained to Wang Chengen, who came in one sentence.. Missing! And let Wang Chengen take care of the mouths of the rest of his subordinates, if the news is transmitted to Queen Zhou again, Hugh blames me...
It's late at night..
In the Dongnuan Pavilion, only Wang Chengen was still waiting outside the door, and many little eunuchs had already been sent away by him.
In fact, Wang Chengen guessed some of them.
At least from Zhao Yunkai's expression when he left the Dongnuan Pavilion, he could guess a lot.
The erosion of the Daming Sailor has been going on for a long time, but Zhu Youzhen never dreamed that he would become the driving force behind the Daming Sailor to continue to erode into the abyss.
What did the reform of the Ministry of War bring?
brought a deeper exploitation of the sailors, you must know that they were originally guards and could barely be regarded as directly under the control of the imperial court.
After the reform of the Ministry of War, the part of the military power was handed over to the local yamen.
Some of the local yamen who were so lively cheered even more, and the officers and nobles who were still in the army exploited these poor sailors in various forms, but now even the officials of the local yamen dared to covet ink and silver among them.
This kind of continuous exploitation has made these sailors, who originally thought that they would be able to live a good life after ushering in the restructuring of the military department, continue to become laborers who transport smuggled goods abroad, and continue to become poor people who have difficulty even solving the problem of food and clothing.
Nothing has changed, and even due to the emergence of local yamen, this exploitation has become even more blatant!
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
Late at night, Zhu Youzhen suppressed his voice in the Dongnuan Pavilion and let out three roars!
There is no other way to solve this matter, there is only one way!
That is to kill people's heads and make a good fortune!
He Zhu Youzhen wants to correct the name of the Ming court!
I want to give an explanation to these sailors who have been oppressed all their lives!
