Chapter 82: The Big Test Coming Early

This time, He Xi came over, and there were some apprehensions.

After all, it is more difficult to formulate a reform plan for the Ming Dynasty. Although He Xi has a cross-era vision, he has no experience in such work. I don't know where to start with many things, and being summoned at this moment is like a student who has not completed his homework and is suddenly summoned by a teacher.

And this teacher is also very strict. The apprehension in my heart can be imagined.

But He Xi didn't expect it. Zhu Yuanzhang first asked not He Xi's new strategy. It's about yesterday's Linjiang Immortal.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "You didn't write the one yesterday, did you?" ”

"Your Majesty is wise." He Xi said: "The minister really doesn't have such talent. This is the work of Yang Shen in his later years in the Jiajing Dynasty. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment and said: "It was Yang Shen who shouted out: 'The country has been raising soldiers for a hundred and fifty years, and the festival of righteous death is today'." ”

He Xi said: "Exactly. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang studied the pamphlet on the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties given to him by He Xi very deeply. He has figured out almost all the names mentioned above. And when talking about the Jiajing Dynasty, we can't talk about the great etiquette, talk about the great etiquette, we can't talk about Zuo Shunmen, we can't talk about Zuo Shunmen, we can't talk about Yang Shen.

Thinking of these, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more firm in his choice. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren. Why make yourself unhappy for a group of descendants who he can't wait to strangle to death and can't see.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Are there any good poems in later generations? ”

He Xi thought for a while and said; "There are a few songs. The poetry of the Ming people has Yu Qian's lime chanting. The round song of Wumei Village. Wait. The Qing people have a Nalan Rongruo who is particularly popular, and then there is Mr. Mao's poetry. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't really care too much about poetry, but seeing that He Xi was a little nervous, he chatted a little irrelevant to ease He Xi's emotions. Just mentioned Mr. Mao, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately paid attention.

After all, in the next six hundred years, only Mr. Mao was the only one who entered Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes. The rest is not enough.

is the one who is perfect in the world, in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, it is not worth mentioning, not to mention the war, the military development of later generations, Zhu Yuanzhang also has some incomprehension in terms of fighting, but how to settle the relationship between the side of the line, even the tigers in Shanghai can't fight the people. How can it be compared with him Zhu someone.

Therefore, I will pay special attention to Mr. Mao's things.

As soon as I heard He Xi mention this, I was immediately interested. Said; "Oh, let's hear it."

He Xi immediately wrote out Mr. Mao's masterpiece. Naturally, it is "Qinyuan Spring-Snow".

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this poem, scrutinized it repeatedly, sighed, and said, "I might as well do it." Putting it aside, he said, "Recently, you have been adding fragrance to your red sleeves, do you have any experience?" ”

He Xi's face was a little embarrassed. Deliberately don't think about it. The so-called red sleeves with fragrant red sleeves are Zhu Yuanzhang's daughter. Don't think about how much of the old man's content is in this sentence. Said; "Back to Your Majesty, there is a little."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Let's hear it." ”

He Xi said: "I think if you want to change the face of Daming, you must start from four aspects. The minister called it the four modernizations. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand this word very well. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang still knows relatively little about later generations. I don't know where He Xi copied it.

For He Xi, he also has no way. How big a deal is it to formulate policies for a country, and where does He Xi have experience. Naturally, it was copied from the Hereafter. However, He Xi only borrowed a name.

As soon as I said it, it was opened.

He Xi also seemed to have more self-confidence, and said: "The first one is military modernization. ”

"The Great Tomorrow soldiers are invincible in the world, so there is no need to make major modifications. It's just the hidden danger of the guard system, and there are problems between the founding heroes. These two problems must be solved, otherwise decades of business will be destroyed in one fell swoop. ”

"There are three main points in military modernization. The 1st Field Army and the Tuntian Army. Demote the Guards' Army to the Tuntian Army, select the best of the best among the world's armies, and form a large army under the direct control of His Majesty. Strengthen Your Majesty's control over the Ming army, and also weaken the influence of the nobles on the army. ”

"Second, establish a general staff system. Scientific management of the army. Weakens the general's ability to control the deployment. ”

"Third, establish a system of supervising the army and decentralize the supervising army to 100 households. From top to bottom, every army must obey the orders of the highest echelons, and every army is not allowed to act on its own, so as to completely solve the hidden danger that the army may go alone. ”

These contents are also the result of He Xi's repeated thoughts.

This may not be of much use to the development of the Ming Dynasty. But in fact, it is the foundation of the development of the Ming Dynasty. That is political stability.

Many things in the Hongwu Dynasty can be explained by political instability.

In the new dynasty, all forces want to eat more. The founding fathers felt that they were shareholders of the Ming Dynasty and wanted to share more. However, on the one hand, Zhu Yuanzhang could not tolerate these nobles violating his own laws, but he could not admit that the nobles were quite powerful. Be tolerant.

It's just that if Zhu Yuanzhang puts his mind on the struggle for power in the Ming Dynasty, there is no stable political environment. Nothing can be done.

However, the completion of these three reforms and the selection of the field army from the Weisu army was actually a measure to weaken the localities, weaken the nobles, and strengthen the imperial court. Not to mention the remaining two, which is to completely make military power available to the imperial court.

If this pattern is formed. The veterans can be saved, too. A relative balance between the civil and military forces can also be achieved.

He Xi's intentions, Zhu Yuanzhang could see it at a glance. It's just that some of them still can't understand it, and they say: "This staff system is to strengthen the power to join the army." The things that the chief general needs to be responsible for are assigned to the army, for example, the chief general goes out on the expedition, and there are marching staff officers and logistics staff officers. Intelligence staff officers, operational staff officers, and so on. ”

"That is, the chief general only needs to choose one of the staff officers' plans."

"In this way, it will limit the control of the commander over the army."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "Can such an army win the war?" The most taboo in the army is out of many doors. ”

He Xi said: "Your Majesty, you misunderstood, the army is still the lord and the general. Only the chief general can have an order. It's just a matter of dividing the work into fine lines. In wartime, the commander-in-chief can also disobey the staff officers. But for the record. Find out who is right and who is wrong after the fact. ”

"The minister knows that if Your Majesty, a general like Wei Guogong, is a handsome talent, there is no need for such a system. But for those mediocre generals, a staff system may be needed. This system may limit the development of genius, but it also raises the standard of mediocrity. The most important thing is that there will be no soldiers. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately understood, and said secretly in his heart: "If there is such a system, there will probably be no change in the civil fort." At least some idiots, not to give orders from some idiots. ”

And now the Ming Dynasty is already the most powerful country in the world, and in many wars, it actually needs a lot, and the wonderful play of geniuses. What is needed is undefeated. Undefeated is not a victory. As long as the consumption is not too large, you can keep fighting.

There is no country in the world that can compare with the current Ming Dynasty.

While this system eliminates internal troubles, it will not reduce the combat effectiveness too much. It's a good idea.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "What's going on with the prison army?" There is no greater disaster in the military system than the supervision of the army. The supervisory army was re-established, and the supervisory army was also set up at the level of 100 households. This ------"

Zhu Yuanzhang used troops and almost did not need to supervise the army, not because Zhu Yuanzhang trusted generals at all levels. Now, Zhu Yuanzhang generally appoints the deputy generals of the commander to take on the responsibility of supervising the army. The control of his front was carried out through personnel powers.

Generally sent troops. Zhu Yuanzhang will send his cronies and generals to go on the expedition together. Holding positions of responsibility.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang did this is that the prison army is too stinky in history. The eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty supervised the army, and almost ruined the Tang Dynasty. The soldiers complained.

Zhu Yuanzhang punished this, so he used this means of control.

He Xi said: "In fact, this kind of military supervision is a imitation of the government system of the new dynasty in later generations. Pioneered by Mr. Mao. At the most critical time, the control of the army was completed, and only then did Ji Tai come. ”

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang heard it, he remembered it. He looked at Mr. Mao's life very carefully, as a comparison for himself. Zhu Yuanzhang said: "What is this prison army going to do? ”

He Xi said: "As the deputy general of the main general, he is responsible for the morale of the army and the meritorious service. It is directly under the jurisdiction of the government affairs of the higher level. Equal to the main general. The specific charter should also be formulated in detail. I'm just an idea now, and I'm not perfect. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

Although Zhu Yuanzhang said it was good. However, He Xi's idea of so-called military modernization has been rejected.

Because, He Xi didn't understand at all how difficult it was to use a knife in the military. Even if he is as strong as Zhu Yuanzhang, he doesn't dare to make a big move on it easily. In Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, if you really want to do what He Xi wants, you have to kill at least three or five nobles.

Don't kill. This cannot be done.

The most fundamental political struggle is military struggle.

The great event of the soldier country. If you can't get one, you'll be in a mess. The world is in chaos.

Maybe this one thing will be done in the future, but definitely not now. At least Zhu Yuanzhang has not yet done a good job of paving, let alone a big war is imminent.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Let's talk about the rest." ”

He Xi was a little confused about Zhu Yuanzhang's feedback. Then he took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, the second is fiscal modernization. The minister knew that His Majesty was thinking about the people. A large number of government functions have been delegated to the civilian sector. But in the minister's opinion, this is the most undesirable. ”

"The minister only asked, is this grain chief an official, an official? Or the people? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to He Xi's question, and he did not fall into contemplation for a while.

Is the chief of grain an official? Naturally not. The chief of grain has no money at all. Is the chief of grain a clerk? No, because the grain chief did not have the imperial court's restrictions on officials. Is the chief of grain a citizen? Naturally, it is not. Although the grain chief has no official position and is not an official, he has power?
