The sound outside the hall interrupted Zhu Yunxi's fantasy, and also brought Zhu Yuanzhang, who was immersed in military strategy, back to his senses.

"Call in."

The emperor's voice slowly came out in the Wuying Palace.

Next, a dense and small-frequency footsteps appeared, and a group of birds and beasts bypassed the pro-army in front of the hall and arrived in the hall.

"The ministers see Your Majesty, see the crown prince, and see the grandson."

Originally, there were only two monarchs in the Ming Dynasty, but now there are three, and the ministers saliva is even more.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the tea sent by Sun Gou'er, pinched the lid of the bowl and gently wiped off the tea foam on the surface, and took a sip before looking at the group of officials and courtiers in front of him who represented the most elite of the Ming Dynasty.

"Give me a seat."

So, the eunuchs who were waiting in the palace moved more than ten round stools under the command of the chief steward.

Zhan Hui and the others bent down and arched their hands: "Thanks." ”

Half of his ass was settled, and he didn't dare to have more rudeness, but he straightened his waist, lest he lose the demeanor of a micro-minister in front of the emperor.

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the teacup and landed on a withered chair: "Let's call you here, we all know what it's for." ”

Chang Sheng got up when he heard this: "Your Majesty intends to conquer Annan and other places. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, pressed his hand, looked back at the prince sitting behind him, and then turned his head and said: "The prince has been in charge of the country for more than a few years, and he can be a monarch, not only to be able to stabilize the center, but also to know the frontier, understand the military strategy, and know the people's suffering. ”

Is this a requirement for the establishment of kings in the later generations of the Ming Dynasty?

The people who can enter the Wuying Hall at this moment are the top and most intelligent people in the Ming bureaucracy.

The emperor's words and deeds at this time are not simply literal, and many times the true meaning is under the words.

Zhan Hui, as a secretary of the ministry, felt that he had a responsible responsibility, so he also got up and said: "Taisun is intelligent, pure filial piety and benevolence, old and enterprising, and he is a rare virtuous monarch in the world." ”

"It's just nonsense." Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly, and then said: "At this moment, Annan and others have the heart of not being subordinate, the court is not short of money and food, and the south must also rectify the military and government. I intend to let my grandson join the army and go south to experience a military formation. ”

Does Your Majesty really want Taisun to personally lead the troops and conquer Annan Buchen?

Although Zhan Hui and other civil officials had speculations in their hearts after Zhu Yuanzhang's previous words, they really heard it with their own ears, but it was a different taste and understanding.

If you change to an official in the court, you will inevitably rise up at this time, saying that the prince is the prince and the foundation of the country, and you can't go out of the center lightly, let alone go into the dangerous frontier with the body of a daughter.

It's just that the people who are present now are Zhan Hui.

Although they still have this consideration in their hearts, they are more worried about the change in the battle in front of them because of Taisun's presence than they are worried that Taisun will prefer the military or be involved in danger.

After all, Taisun is in the army, no matter who is the commander-in-chief in the army, who is the general of the first brigade, he must take into account the safety of Taisun.

Ru Yu pondered carefully, and then set his eyes on Chang Sheng next to him.

Now His Majesty wants to conquer the south, and the founding prince is basically the only choice, at most, he will order that the Marquis Muying of Xiping will be used as a partial division to deter the Lao people and Annan from Yunnan.

After Chang Sheng and Zhan Hui stood up, Ru Yu, who was the secretary of the Ministry of War, also stood up: "The minister said in vain, does Your Majesty have a candidate for the commander of the Southern Expedition in his heart at this moment." ”

"The founding prince Chang Sheng can be the general of the Southern Expedition and command the whole army. Xiping Hou is the deputy second of the partial division. Zhu Yuanzhang bluntly said the candidate in his heart, and then looked at the eldest grandson who was full of energy: "The grandson is from the prison army." ”

Ru Yu turned his head and asked Chang Sheng: "I don't know how much the general needs to plan the southern expedition to Beijing in his heart?" ”

Chang Sheng replied: "Dispatch 30,000 soldiers from the south of Jingwei, take a big ship to Qiongzhou Mansion, divide 20,000 troops at Zhennan Pass, and capture Langshan Pass in Annan." 10,000 soldiers and horses arrived outside the city of Jianchang in Annan by boat, guarded the big river, divided the troops to capture Qinghua City, and blocked the road to the south of Annan. ”

This is what the general said as well.

Ru Yu nodded, and asked again: "Guangdong Province and Guangxi Province are going to send troops, how to supplement them?" ”

Chang Sheng replied: "Conquer 10,000 people in Guangdong Province, Hainanwei, Shendianwei, and Guanghaiwei, and accompany 10,000 Jingwei." Conquered 20,000 people from Fengyiwei, Nandanwei, Nanningwei, Taipingwei, and Guilin in Guangxi Province, and accompanied 20,000 Jingwei. ”

There are 30,000 soldiers and horses in the local area, and 30,000 soldiers and horses in the imperial court, so that a total of 60,000 soldiers and horses are recruited to conquer Annan.

Ru Yu thought about it for a while, and then felt that there was nothing to add.

only then said: "In this case, the two provinces of Guangxi and Guangdong will not be able to levy less than 50,000 people for the use of the army." Will the two places be able to support the frontline army? ”

Lang Yuxin, the right attendant of the household department, got up and said: "There is no disaster in Guangxi and Guangdong, and there is no disaster this year, and an order can be issued to levy it, and the local state government will allocate two taxes on rice and wheat in Taicang." ”

Zhan Hui said at this time: "As a partial division, the Marquis of Xiping should take the attack on the Lao people as the main thing, and prevent the Liao people from sending troops to assist Annan. In this way, the Yunnan side will also raise no less than 20,000 troops. ”

This is another expenditure of money and food.

and the accompanying imperial court conscription.

This is a foreign war, the Central Plains Dynasty needs to make preparations, and the people need to pay the price for this.

Instead of the imperial court, tens of thousands of troops will be killed, and the enemy will be eliminated like chopping melons.

Zhu Yunxi coughed lightly at this time.

When he had attracted everyone's attention, he smiled.

"Have you forgotten the three million quintals of summer and autumn rice and wheat that now exist in Taicang, Hangzhou Prefecture?

This time, the imperial court Jingwei 30,000 went south to conquer, and now it is already decided to go by big ship. When the army left Beijing, it only needed to carry a small amount of money and food, and more ordnance.

To the Qiantang Wharf of Hangzhou Prefecture, he ordered Hangzhou Prefecture to open a warehouse to transport grain to the army ship. In addition, Zhejiang Daohai ships were requisitioned to carry grain and grass to Guangxi Province, Guangdong Province, for the needs of local troops. The two taxes of Guangxi Province will be transferred to Yunnan this year, so that the cost of transshipment can also be saved. ”

Yes!

I actually forgot about the stubble of Zhejiang Road!

When Zhu Yunxi finished talking about the millions of taels of rice and wheat taxes and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver stored in Taicang, Hangzhou Mansion at this time, Zhan Hui and others reacted one after another.

Zhan Hui unabashedly admired Zhu Yunxi: "The grandson is far-sighted, strategizing, gathering local finances and taxes, and exempting the local people from the suffering of forced labor with the needs of the southern expedition, which is really the luck of our dynasty, and the ministers are happy and convinced, and there are no words." ”

Who would have thought that the vigorous reform of fields and commercial taxes in Zhejiang Province that began last year not only added countless money and grain to the imperial court, but also played such a vital role in the imperial court's southern expedition this time.

Ru Yu stood up suddenly, he was the secretary of the military department, marching and fighting was the business of the governor's office of the five armies, and everything such as raising military supplies was the work of his military department.

If something goes wrong because of the military supply, the military department will not be able to escape the blame.

He said directly to Qin Kui, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry: "In this southern expedition, I also asked the Ministry of Industry to work hard to build a big ship for the use of the front-line army of Taicang, Hangzhou Prefecture. ”

Qin Kui got up and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, now the sailor has treasure ships, grain transports, troop transports, and warships, no less than a hundred, which are enough to deal with this southern expedition." In case of coastal banditry, the sailor can leave what he needs.

There are more than 30 ships under construction under the Ministry of Industry at Longjiang Shipyard, and all of them can be completed at the beginning of spring as long as the imperial court allocates money and grain. At that time, it will be enough to support the army to pull out, and then transfer grain and grass to Hangzhou Prefecture. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang had never had such a war experience of not having to worry about money and food, so he directly waved his hand: "When the 500,000 taels sent back by Zhang Wen are sent to the household department, the Ministry of Industry can take money and grain." ”

We have never fought such a rich battle!

Zhu Yuanzhang swallowed mountains and rivers angrily and said 500,000 taels of silver, and his heart was full of emotion.

If you want money, you will have money, and you will have food.

Today's veterans of the founding of the Ming Dynasty are still serving in the army, and the Jingwei army in turn is still brave.

Recommended, chasing books is really easy to use, download here.. Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

With plenty of money and food, and a handsome general, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but think of the fact that he heard his eldest grandson's words of expanding the territory outside the East Palace School last year.

Perhaps, this time Daming will have one more?

Qin Kui said.

Yu Xin also nodded his head.

It's just that everyone looked at Zhu Yunxi, who was standing beside the emperor, with their eyes in unison.

Who would have thought that even the army of Zhenwei would begin to make contributions to the imperial court.

Qian Zhuang is bold.

What's more, all the people present were the ministers of the humerus of the Ming Dynasty.

Chang Sheng, who has now received the rank of general of Zhengnan, got up and said: "Your Majesty, my dynasty is attacking Annam and the Liaoren Department this time, and the minister thinks that the imperial court should set up a state capital and incorporate the place into our dynasty. ”

Ru Yu immediately responded: "This is what it should mean!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang patted the armrest of the circle chair, stood up under the gaze of everyone, walked to the southern Kanyu map, and slowly paced in front of Kanyu with his hands behind his back, looking at the vast territory south of Nanguan in Guangxi Daozhen.

"Cochin."

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his back to everyone and said two words, and then turned around: "Re-establish Jiaozhi Dao." ”

As soon as the emperor said this, the people in the hall held their breath.

The word cochin is not made up out of thin air.

Since the Han Dynasty destroyed the Nanyue Kingdom, the three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen and Rinan were established in the then Nanyue Kingdom to implement the direct administration of the Han Dynasty.

Subsequently, when Han Wu set up the Thirteen Thorn History Department in the whole world, the seven counties including Jiaozhi were divided into the Jiaozhi Thorn History Department.

And this word is derived from the "Rite and Monarchy".

The south is said to be barbaric, the withered theme is crossed, the withered theme is a tattooed face, and the cross-toe note is said to be "foot to the other".

Its vulgar men and women bathe in the same river, so it is also called Jiaolu.

As long as the army of the south is pacified in the south of the country, the Ming Dynasty will change from twelve to thirteen!

Zhan Hui immediately asked: "Your Majesty, if you want to set up a Jiaozhi Road, the imperial court should select and transfer officials from the DPRK and China to Zhennan Pass after the army goes out. The army was in front of the conquest of the city, and there were officials in Cochin Province to stabilize the place. ”

Since the imperial court wanted to bring the land of Annam under its jurisdiction, it was natural to send liuguan as it should.

"It's just ......" Ren Hengtai, the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites, hesitated: "In the land of the Southern Expedition, if the system of the Taoist government is implemented and the three divisions are established, the number of officials required is quite a lot. The DPRK and China may now have the spare strength to select the old people who seek the country, and the remaining herdsmen of Jiaozhi to govern the locality? ”

These words were asked by Zhan Hui, who was the secretary of the ministry.

Zhan Hui shook his head very boldly.

If there were enough officials in the court, he would not have said what he had said before.

It's just that Zhan Hui is looking weakly at the emperor's side at the moment.

Zhu Yunxi also stepped forward and turned to face Zhu Yuanzhang and bowed.

"Grandpa, although there is fraud in the current examination, the heart of the country cannot stop there. The grandson has ordered the Ministry of Rites to reopen the Enke examination at a later date, and the grandfather can still select the world's talents as officials. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "There are many talents in the world, and the imperial court is endless, and we already know at this time." ”

"It's just ......" Zhu Yunxi also hesitated at this time, and said instead: "It's just that my grandson thinks that if the land of the southern expedition wants to be stable for a long time, it should send people with real talents and hard work." It is the new establishment of Jiaozhi Road, and the officials of the local government and county of the three divisions must also be able to pass through the world. In this way, the newly conquered land can be incorporated into the Central Plains this morning. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned back on the back of the chair, staring at the eldest grandson in front of him with a faint gaze.

He smiled silently and said softly, "What advice does the grandson have to offer?" ”

Zhu Yunxi didn't reserve it, and said bluntly: "My grandson thinks that the reopening of the meeting will be changed." ”

"Change?"

Zhu Yuanzhang tilted his head back, and his gaze became a little ambiguous.

In the hall, all the ministers also looked puzzled.

Zhan Hui seemed to understand something, but he was not too sure, so he could only look curiously at the imperial grandson who said that he would change it.

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "Sun Er thinks that if there are three divisions of Jiaozhi Dao, the officials of the three divisions will be selected and transferred by the imperial court from the central government or the local government. However, there are still countless official vacancies in the local area waiting for the imperial court to select and transfer officials. In this way, the reopening of the current department will require people who can implement the law of herding when they can elect officials to take office.

Under this, Sun Er thought that the first three days of the test could remain unchanged, and then in addition to the edict and judgment and policy theory, the six days should be added to arithmetic, agriculture, law, engineering and other subjects, so as to select talents, then it can be more beneficial to the stability of the road and the heart of the Ming officials. ”

It is not yet time to completely abolish the eight-strand text, so we can only advance step by step, first increasing and then increasing the weight.

The best way is to replace the fixed test questions such as edicts and judgments with real technical disciplines, and to integrate official document writing into the technical subject exam questions.

It's good not to change the sage article.

After listening to Zhu Yunxi's advice, everyone present was relieved.

Immediately, someone reacted and grasped an inconspicuous question.

Yu Xin, the right attendant of the household department, bowed down and whispered: "What the grandson said, is it an official of Jiaozhi Dao?" ”

As Yu Xin spoke, everyone also reacted, showing puzzled expressions.

You know, officials and officials are two completely different things.

Zhu Yunxi explained softly: "I thought that there were as many as six or seven thousand people who entered Beijing to take the examination this year, and there were only about four or five hundred Jinshi in the two lists. The imperial court, perhaps, can issue an order to recruit those who have outstanding ability among the people who have fallen off the list to go to Jiaozhi Province to serve as the deputy second official or official of the local provincial government. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi turned to Zhu Yuanzhang again, clasped his fists and said: "Grandpa, grandson asks for an order, the imperial court can allow Zhu Zheng to raise people, and after they serve as Jiaozhi Dao officials for several years, they can be given the same Jinshi background and move back to the Central Plains or the court as officials." ”
