Chapter 108 Yangzhou Skinny Horse

"How to organize the military department, I have full authority to deal with the British government, I hope the British government can give me a reasonable plan for the formation of the military department as soon as possible!"

As the emperor, Zhu Houzhao only needs to control the general direction, and the specific ones can be handed over to the people below.

If he had to do everything himself, what else would he want these courtiers to do?

"The old minister will never dare to disappoint His Majesty."

British Gong Zhang Mao was in tears, he witnessed the glory and end of the military attaché, and now he is about to pick up the collapsed dignity of the military attache with his own hands, how excited his heart is, that ordinary people can not understand at all.

"I have high hopes for the British Princess, and I hope that the British Princesses will not let me down."

"The new military department, I hope that all of them will be capable people with real talents and real learning, not a group of wastes that are mostly like the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies."

It's not that Zhu Houzhao is not at ease with the British Gong Zhang Mao, but that he knows too much about the urine nature of the Xungui Group.

For the nobles, they don't care at all whether the core of the Ming military system is the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies or the Military Department, in their eyes, the changes are nothing more than a change of place to make money.

Before Zhu Houzhao rebuilt the 3,000 battalions, he explicitly forbade the sons of the nobles to enter the gilding, but as a result, some nobles still dared to stuff people into the three battalions.

The Governor's Office of the Five Armies was reorganized into a military department, and Zhu Houzhao didn't believe that the nobles would hold back and not stretch out their hands, you must know that the British Duke who was in charge of the military department was the first British duke of the honorable people.

Among the many nobles, there are too few who can have real talents and learning, most of them are wine bags, rice bags, straw bags, and waste of their ancestors, throwing the bravery of their ancestors into the stinky ditch.

"The old minister knows what to do, whoever dares to mix sand with the military department, the old minister is the first to not let him go."

British Gong Zhang Mao understood what Zhu Houzhao meant, and immediately assured with a fierce attitude, a sharp edge flashed in his cloudy eyes.

It was not easy for the military general to have a chance to turn over again, and if anyone dared to make trouble, he would definitely pick up a knife and chop it up and feed it to the dogs.

"With the British duke in charge of the formation of the military department, I can rest assured."

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile, and then changed the topic: "Have you ever heard of Yangzhou Skinny Horse?" ”

The sudden question caught the ministers off guard, and they didn't understand why Zhu Houzhao suddenly mentioned Yangzhou Skinny Horse, which was not something that the emperor should care about.

Yangzhou thin horse, Manchu Dynasty civil and military, no one knows, no one knows, and there are many people who have tried it personally, but it is too dirty, and no one wants to mention it.

Talking about Yangzhou thin horses with the emperor is ridiculous.

What is the Yangzhou thin horse, is to buy the young daughter of a poor family, train from an early age, teach singing and dancing, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting and other entertainment skills, and then sell it to dignitaries, rich businessmen, or send it to the flower boat Qinglou, for people to have fun.

Because of its thin body, it is called "thin horse"!

In the Lianghuai area, the number of thin horses in Yangzhou can be described as shocking, Zhu Houzhao once sent someone to check, the number of thin horses in Yangzhou has exceeded more than 20,000 in Zhengde only five years, it can be imagined that in Jiangnan, in Yangzhou, in Lianghuai, the so-called Yangzhou thin horse business is rampant.

And this is what Zhu Houzhao absolutely cannot allow.

syllable

Zhu Houzhao slapped his palm on the imperial eucalyptus and roared angrily: "Zhongqing is embarrassed to mention Yangzhou thin horses, so I will help you!" ”

"I bought the young daughters of poor people's families, cultivated them from an early age, and then sent them to the Qinglou of the flower boat, or sold them to high-ranking officials and nobles, so as to make huge profits from them."

His voice became colder and colder, and even from a distance, the ministers could clearly feel Zhu Houzhao's anger.

"Why is the number of thin horses in Yangzhou increasing year by year, and how many of those girls who are regarded as thin horses are bought and how many are snatched, can Zhongqing give me a specific explanation?"

Yangzhou Skinny Horse, which involves not only human trafficking, human plunder, but also involves many wealthy businessmen and tycoons who do not see the light of business, in order to plan in the future, he must ban Yangzhou Skinny Horse!

A great man once said that if you want to disintegrate a nation, as long as you take away the spine and blood of men, and take away the shame and kindness of women, then a country will not be far from destruction!

The men of the Ming Dynasty have never been blood-isched, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies, it is not a lie!

Even if there is a little "water is too cold", it is still flawed!

But the women of the Ming Dynasty, just look at the thin horse in Yangzhou to know what the situation is.

Maybe some people are forced to make a living, have to do Yangzhou thin horses, but more are forced to engage in the thin horse industry, Yangzhou thin horses, at least more than seventy percent of them are bought and sold by human traffickers.

In this way, the dignity is gone, how can we talk about honesty and kindness?

If a country wants to be rich and strong, all industries need to be prosperous, civil and military needs to be balanced, and the people's sense of identity with the country is also very important.

The reason why the world misses the Han and Tang dynasties is because the Han and Tang dynasties were the most proud and proud time for the people of China.

Look at Daming again, don't mention anything else, the women of Daming are all crowned with a very insulting title like "thin horse", like animals, where do the people get the national pride and national identity.

Yangzhou Thin Horse is a tumor of the Ming Dynasty, and it is a hurdle that Zhu Houzhao must cross to unify the Ming Dynasty, and the forces behind it must be eradicated one by one, and the Yangzhou Thin Horse must also disappear.

"Your Majesty......"

Wang Yangming opened his mouth, and the words came to his mouth, but he really couldn't say it.

Shame on you!

At first, Yangzhou Thin Horse was the two Huai salt merchants who had no king's law, and later the Jiangnan gentry and civil official groups saw that the interests were huge, and they also participated in it, so it can be said that the court officials were actually the culprits of the prevalence of Yangzhou Thin Horse.

What's even more ridiculous is that most of the people who go to patronize Yangzhou's thin horse business are scholars, and they are famous: talented and romantic.

Everyone knows that Yangzhou thin horses are extremely inhumane, but there is still an endless stream of people who go, which is the shame of the imperial court, and it is the sorrow of scholars.

"Yangzhou thin horse, because of the thin and light body, like a thin horse and get the name, people as livestock, the name of the person is really not as good as a beast, the sin deserves death."

Zhu Houzhao was furious, and he was furious at the ministers: "I don't care who is running Yangzhou Thin Horse, but from this moment on, anyone who secretly operates Yangzhou Thin Horse will be punished for treason, verify the identity and background, punish the nine clans, and destroy the temple!" ”

The majestic gaze swept over the ministers, and the killing intent was fully displayed, without any concealment.

In the past, he asked Gao Fengqing, who was sitting in the south of the Yangtze River, to suppress the forces behind the Yangzhou Thin Horse, but just after the clearance, it didn't take long for the Thin Horse Business on the Yangzhou Canal to start operating again, and it was repeatedly banned, and at that time he knew that there must be a lot of people involved in the Yangzhou Thin Horse Business.

Jiangnan has been purged on a large scale, the civilian clique has been dismissed, and he doesn't know how many of the remaining officials are involved in Yangzhou's thin horse business, but the necessary warnings are still indispensable.

"Yangzhou thin horses, people as animals, simply mad, no humanity, the old minister supports His Majesty to ban Yangzhou thin horses, such a thing of losing conscience should not exist in the world."

"The minister seconded the proposal, Yangzhou Skinny Horse violates human ethics, if it is not banned, heaven will not tolerate it, and the court will also be responsible for the people of the world."

British Gong Zhang Mao and Cabinet First Assistant Wang Yangming have spoken out one after another, supporting Zhu Houzhao's decision, Yangzhou thin horses, no benefit to the country, damage to the people, must be banned!
