Chapter 259: Gaining Military Power
Mandarin Palace.
Li Zhigang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, held a stack of concertos and said to Zhu Yunxi: "Huang Zicheng, the emperor's grandson and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, died of illness......
"Hmm." Zhu Yunxi nodded, took the chapter and asked while flipping through it: "Give him a thick burial!" ”
At some point, he also began to pay attention to fame.
Historically, among the civil officials who stabbed Zhu Yuanzhang in his later years, Huang Zicheng was the main force.
In order to let Zhu Yunwen get the position of crown prince, he tried his best, directed various scenes, and taught Zhu Yunwen to deal with Lao Zhu's questioning, so as to gain favor.
Later, he advocated the implementation of the reduction of the feudal domain, or the forced cutting of the feudal domain, the kind without brains.
Typical rash and inward-looking.
Deeper, it's about getting rid of potential opponents.
Historically, the civil official group of Huang Zicheng and others, in order to stabilize the status of Zhu Yunwen's grandson, Jinyan used the hands of Lao Zhu to get rid of Lan Yu and other noble groups.
After Zhu Yunwen ascended to the throne, the only person who posed the greatest threat to the power of the civilian clique was the vassal king.
Therefore, they advocated cutting the feudal domain and abolition the vassal king system established by Lao Zhu with the help of the new emperor.
Without the checks and balances of the vassal kings and nobles, who can pose a threat to the civilian clique?
Isn't the little emperor trained by himself obedient?
People who often claim to be gentlemen often have sinister intentions.
It's a pity that Zhu Yunxi doesn't eat them.
Huang Zicheng also knew that he had taken risks three times and twice, wanting to change the status quo and hit Zhu Yunxi's status.
Although he didn't make any big waves, Zhu Yunxi always felt that it was a trouble to keep him.
This time, he was finally cured to death.
If it weren't for Huang Zicheng's identity as a teacher in the East Palace, I am afraid that he would have died even more miserably!
Li Zhigang looked at Zhu Yunxi's face and said slowly: "Your Highness, the minister thinks that Huang Zicheng has all kinds of disobedience during your expedition, and he should not be buried thickly. ”
"Does everybody think so?" Zhu Yunxi glanced at him in surprise.
Li Zhigang said: "Most people think so......"
"Hmm." Zhu Yunxi's brows furrowed, and he suddenly asked, "What about Qi Tai and Fang Xiaoru?" ”
Li Zhigang said: "Qi Tai has not yet expressed his position, Fang Xiaoru ...... He didn't wait for the instructions of the ministry, he had already resigned and returned to his hometown, and his family left overnight. ”
This guy is running pretty fast...... Zhu Yunxi was a little surprised.
And expect them to be tough-mouthed!
"Your Highness, the position of Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy is vacant, do you think it is better to send someone?" Li Zhigang asked.
As the supreme governor of the Hanlin Academy, the Hanlin Scholar was in charge of Wen Han and was consulted by the emperor.
In the later Ming Dynasty officialdom, there was a saying: non-Jinshi will not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin will not enter the cabinet.
The top few in the palace examination are eligible to enter the Hanlin Academy as a petty official of six or seven grades, including the champion.
Although the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy is only the fifth grade, he belongs to one of the small Jiuqing, and his real power in the court is equivalent to the prime minister.
After Huang Zicheng's death, Li Zhigang took a fancy to this position, and he planned to let someone from the East Palace faction take charge of the Hanlin Academy.
In the entire court, there are only people from the East Palace faction in the Hanlin Academy.
This gap must be filled!
Who knows, Zhu Yunxi shook his head: "Let Liu Sanwu come back and take over the Hanlin Academy." ”
Liu Sanwu, an eighty-year-old man, the boss of the civil official group in the early Ming Dynasty, and the father-in-law of Zhao Mian, the former head of the household department.
He was once in charge of the Hanlin Academy, and after the death of Zhu Biao, the crown prince of Hongwu in the twenty-fifth year, Zhu Yuanzhang proposed to establish the prince, saying: "King Yan is as heroic as me, how can he be established?"
As a result, Liu Sanwu opposed Zhu Di, the king of Liyan, and forcibly pushed Zhu Yunwen.
Later, due to Zhao Mian's case, Liu Sanwu was dismissed and sent back to his hometown.
Li Zhigang didn't understand, why did the imperial grandson recall Liu Sanwu?
Is it because of his meritorious work in compiling the imperial "Great Message"?
Or does the imperial grandson want to use this to win over the people of the Hanlin Academy?
According to the temperament of the emperor's grandson, it shouldn't be......
Thinking about it carefully, Li Zhigang suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Maybe the imperial grandson wants to find a chance to kill Liu Sanwu!
Li Zhigang is worthy of being Zhu Yunxi's teacher, and he can figure it out when he thinks about it.
Zhu Yunxi has this plan.
Liu Sanwu's old thing is hidden very deeply.
According to the secret report of Jinyi Wei, this old thing was not idle after returning to his hometown, writing poems all the way and widely recognizing people.
"The old man arrived in Changsha today, and the wind sent back to the boat before the day...... There are a few people who can return to their hometowns in their eighties, and the painting brocade at that time is also boastful. ”
The little poem is written very wildly!
Liu Sanwu vigorously brushed his presence in his hometown of Chaling, and from time to time expressed his high views to criticize the government.
Literati often visit their homes and are proud of their calligraphy and paintings.
......
The lobby of the military headquarters.
On the long case, official documents and letters are piled up like a hill.
Zhu Yunxi looked at them one by one, and her brows became tighter and tighter.
Suddenly, he slapped an official document on the table and asked angrily: "Why is the approval for the establishment of a military academy still here?" ”
After returning from the Southern Expedition, Zhu Yunxi decided to set up the first military academy in Daming on the occasion of this great victory to train young generals.
However, the Ministry of War was indifferent to this.
Several officials of the Ministry of War did not say a word.
Zhu Yunxi said sharply: "Dumb? What do I have to say? ”
Qi Tai, the secretary of the military department, said: "If you go back to the emperor's grandson, the minister doesn't understand this military academy very well, so he ......"
"Don't understand?"
Zhu Yunxi shouted: "You understand the things that Lone explained, or if you don't understand, just do it!" ”
More than 400 years in advance, it is normal for them not to understand.
Zhu Yunxi didn't bother to explain to them.
Qi Tai said: "Your Highness, the ministers dare not accept this, if the courtiers blindly follow the order, do not understand their meaning, and do not ask about the indiscriminate, what is the difference with the slave?" ”
Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi sneered: "Qi Tai, what is your intention to blindly prevaricate and delay the matter that Gu explained?"
"Do you think that you are lonely and young and can be bullied, or do you feel that you are lonely and unworthy of being in prison?"
When the imperial grandson said such a thing, no matter how dissatisfied Qi Tai was, he couldn't help but kneel down in fear, kowtowed, and said: "Your Highness is angry, and the minister is guilty!" ”
There is still a chance to voluntarily confess guilt.
Passive confession of guilt is a dead end.
Zhu Yunxi ignored him, he came to rectify the military department this time.
"Since your military department refuses to do things, then you don't have to do it, write a letter to the officer, and approve it!"
Collective dismissal.
Seeing this situation, everyone in the military department wanted to cry without tears, and if they didn't do it well, they would lose their jobs.
They all looked at Qi Tai, hoping that the leaders could handle the matter, even if it was begging grandpa to sue grandma.
Qi Tai stiffened his head and said: "Your Highness, the minister is still young and can't be ......."
"Qi Tai, you are good!"
Zhu Yunxi was still angry: "In the past, you played in front of the king, and you knew a lot about border defense, so it was very good, so go to the military affairs of the governor of Jiaozhi!" ”
Jiaozhi has just been beaten, and there are many follow-up problems, and if you don't do it, you will repeat history.
Send Qi Tai to go, if you lose Jiaozhi, you can justifiably kill him!
If it is well governed, it means that Qi Tai is capable, and Zhu Yunxi will not hesitate to reuse it.
Of course, it is definitely not possible to put it around.
Zhu Yunxi's trip to the military department was not only to rectify the military department and replace it with his own people.
It is also for the control of military power.
Use military academies to train new types of military personnel for the future.
On the fifth day of September, the world's first military school, the Daming Army Academy, was established.
More than 100 sturdy and intelligent junior officers from various battalions of the Ming Army were selected to study at the Army Academy.
Liang Guogong Lanyu was in charge of the affairs of the college, and Feng Sheng, Wang Bi and other generals of the older generation acted as instructors.
He also supervised and led the trainees to the battalion to practice the gun and artillery formations, build the fortresses, and practice the horse teams, infantry teams, artillery teams, and marching, arranging, dividing, and attacking and defending.
As for the new tactics, according to the booklet compiled by Zhu Yunxi himself, he taught such courses as astronomy and geoscopy, grid, surveying and mapping, numeracy, and the new method of marching.
The trainees graduated in one year and were sent back to the battalions for appointment.
Those who excel in learning will stay in the Army Academy as a teacher, or return to the battalion to be promoted to the rank of chief officer, and turn to teach new ways to win.
In order to meet the needs of the new global situation, Zhu Yunxi made a unified stipulation: All provinces have commanded their envoys to set up army lecture halls for military research and military studies.
Every province has to build a military academy!
The discipline is simpler than that of the Army Academy, which is only divided into three military sections: infantry, cavalry, and artillery, with three classes: A, B, and C.
The provincial army lecture halls are under the unified management of the Daming Army Academy.
At this time, although the Ming army was strong, it was not guaranteed that after the death of Feng Sheng and Lan Yu, there would be a fault line among outstanding generals.
So Zhu Yunxi let these veterans give full play to their spare heat and cultivate successors.
At least when he was the emperor, he could have a large number of generals who could fight!
