241 Goodbye Emperor Longqian
Emperor Longqian was very disgusted with the rogues on the side of the couch, this group of people was like a swarm of flies, although it would not shake the country's foundation, but they were disgusting, where not to fight, but to hit Emperor Longqian's face, which made Emperor Longqian very faceless.
"I see, I'll just say, how did a group of peasants become so powerful, even my three battalions are not opponents." Emperor Long Qian's brows furrowed, "But it's not a way to do it in the long run, Wang Aiqing, do you have any way to crack it?" ”
Wang Ziteng, who was sitting on the small bench, heard Emperor Longqian's words, and jumped up from the small bench: "The minister is stupid, and he hasn't thought of a way to crack it." ”
Emperor Longqian seemed to have expected it and did not have any expectations.
These ministers of his, one by one, have long been cultivated, and they would rather not work than take responsibility.
However, in Jia Baoyu's view, the ministers have become what they are today, and Emperor Longqian is mainly responsible.
The imperial court is a big workplace, and a good leader is the key to the entire workplace atmosphere.
A good emperor is able to win the respect and trust of ministers, stimulate their potential and creativity, and help them solve problems and overcome difficulties.
At this point, Emperor Longqian's ancestor Chen Youliang did a good job, and even the mediocre and extravagant Emperor Taishang did it well.
Emperor Longqian belongs to the kind of emperor who does not have much ability, likes to command blindly, has very soft ears, and has no responsibility.
This kind of emperor would make the ministers feel depressed and frustrated, helpless and hopeless, disappointed and angry.
Especially as an emperor, he went back on his word and promised something, but he would not admit it at all.
And he doesn't speak thoroughly, he likes to let the ministers figure it out for themselves.
In addition, Emperor Longqian has a pot that must be shaken, he listens to and believes, can't distinguish right from wrong, only likes to listen to it, likes to slap horses, and can't see the ministers who work hard and down-to-earth.
Finally, and the biggest drawback, that is, the order changes overnight, which makes people confused.
Emperor Longqian ruled for 14 years, changed more than 40 cabinet chiefs and assistants, and six Shangshu, all of which were like a marquee, and some of them were only in power for a year, and they were taken down by Emperor Longqian before they sorted out the accounts of their predecessors.
The most famous round Dudu, the deep love of Emperor Longqian in the early stage, shouted that Pingliao for five years, Emperor Longqian also staged a drama with him about the Ming Emperor and his ministers, who knew that before he played for two years, Yuan Dudu was killed alive by Emperor Longqian!
With these lessons from the past, how dare a teacher like Wang Ziteng confess to Emperor Longqian.
Emperor Longqian belongs to the kind of person who assigns a task, and wants the minister to complete it quickly, and he is busy for a while, doing useless work, and he can't finish anything.
At this time, the ministers could only use the word "drag" and wait for Emperor Longqian to brew it before implementing it.
When the official is small, the small life is big!
Therefore, Emperor Longqian looked at the heads of several ministers in the early stage, and in the later stage, there were fewer beheadings, not because the later ministers were more capable than the previous ministers, but because they became smart and knew how to get along with this emperor.
Wen Tiren, the famous "non-stick pan" Shoufu Wen Tiren, has been in office for a long time, on the contrary, those stunned young people who are impatient and impatient when they come up were quickly taken down by Emperor Longqian.
Emperor Long Qian turned his head to look at Jia Baoyu and asked, "Zhong'an, you have fought with thieves, how do you think you should exterminate these thieves?" ”
Jia Baoyu said without thinking: "Bow first and then soldiers, send reliable officials to appease, if the thieves are willing to surrender, they can be recruited as soldiers, if they resist to the end, they will order the army to encircle and suppress them, in order to show the emperor's heavenly might." ”
Emperor Longqian frowned, not too satisfied with Jia Baoyu's answer.
There were many rogues in the Great Zhou Dynasty, mostly in this way, but there were too many examples of rogues surrendering and rebelling, and Emperor Longqian now has no patience to play this game with the rogues.
"Can't we destroy these rebels in one fell swoop?" Emperor Longqian was faintly angry, "Such a traitor without a king and a father, without thunderous means, how can he know what is heaven and what is a king, if they are recruited again, and there will be other rogues under the sky, won't everyone follow suit?" ”
Jia Baoyu also had no good solution to this problem of Emperor Longqian.
The three major battalions in the capital could not defeat the rogues, and if they wanted to annihilate them, they had to draw troops from other places.
However, the Great Zhou Dynasty is now in a situation of leaking wind from all sides, and the smoke is everywhere, first of all, the Guanning army guarding Liaodong cannot move, and the border troops of Xuanfu and Datong cannot move without permission.
The soldiers of Huguang, Sichuan, and Henan are encircling and suppressing Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the two big rebels, and the only soldiers who can be adjusted are the soldiers and horses of the general soldiers of several military towns around the capital.
However, if you want to mobilize these general soldiers, you must first allocate grain, grass and silver, otherwise these general soldiers will also listen to the dispatch and do not listen to the announcement, and grind foreign workers.
But it's no wonder that they were the first to build slaves into the customs and ravage Gyeonggi, and the country's general army led the soldiers to Qinwang, but they had to prepare their own grain and grass, and after rushing to the land of Gyeonggi, they wanted to enter the city to rest, but they were changed by the military department for three days to guard two stations.
This can make these general soldiers who came to King Qin angry, because the Great Zhou Dynasty stipulated that King Qin's soldiers needed to be stationed for a full day before they could get grain and grass, which made it clear that they were playing tricks on them, wanting to owe grain and grass and not admit it.
Therefore, these general soldiers let their soldiers loot everywhere, even more ruthless than Jiannu, and some of them even grabbed all the way back, breaking the state capital and county towns along the road, and the destructive power was amazing.
But in the face of this situation, the imperial court has no good way.
Emperor Longqian is a man, not a god, he can't control so many things, but these general soldiers will put the account on his head, and over time, the emperor's orders can't even come out of the Forbidden City, because no one wants to listen to him at all.
Seeing that Jia Baoyu didn't speak, and Emperor Longqian also knew what the problem was, he sighed and said to Wang Ziteng: "This matter will be handed over to you to handle, if it is done, I will promote you to the control of the nine provinces, if it is erranded, you will go to Beizhen Fusi with your good nephew to see the prison!" ”
Coming out of the Xinuan Pavilion and walking a long way, Wang Ziteng let out a long breath: "I said nephew, what did you just say, how can you be involved in military affairs?" You touch your neck, how many heads are enough to cut off?
Uncle will be miserable to you now! ”
Jia Baoyu smiled and patted Wang Ziteng's back: "I said uncle, why are you sighing, this is a good thing, I didn't hear that the emperor wants to promote you and let you be the ruler of the nine provinces?"
This is a big official who can't be asked for by many people, a very good minister, and if he is released, that is the feudal official, no better than nesting in the corner of the capital? ”
Wang Ziteng sighed and said: "How can it be as simple as you said, you haven't seen the ferocity of the rogue, my uncle only has three battalions of soldiers and horses in his hands, adding up to less than 50,000 people, what should I do to fight the rogue?"
Just now at the military headquarters, I saw a Tang newspaper on the front line, saying that the first section of the army had captured Liangxiang County, and the thieves were prosperous, and the number of troops exceeded 100,000! ”
Jia Baoyu was silent when she heard this.
There is no such person in history as Trespass, and the history in his memory overlaps with this world, but it is not exactly the same, which makes him very passive.
Even if half of the 100,000 soldiers and horses were refugees, it would be a terrible force.
The 100,000 homeless, unrestrained thugs are a ticking time bomb wherever they are placed, and if you want to eliminate them, you must either kill their minds or settle them.
The court is now a numb claw, with no soldiers to fight and no silver to settle in.
Of course, there is silver, but it is all in the ministers and rich merchants, and the emperor and the poor rats in the household have moved their nests, and there is no way at all.
Jia Baoyu thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible, but my method is a bit out of line, it depends on whether you can afford this responsibility, uncle." ”
If an envoy of the Beijing Camp Festival wants to be promoted to the commander of the nine provinces, in addition to having a strong family background, he must also have outstanding political achievements.
The current breakthrough is a visible political achievement.
It's just that this political achievement is very tricky, it depends on whether Wang Ziteng has the courage to gnaw this hard bone.
Wang Ziteng's eyes were burning, he looked at the red walls and yellow tiles of the Forbidden City, and asked in a low voice, "What way?" ”
Jia Baoyu said: "Eliminate the Beijing camp and train the new army!" ”
Wang Ziteng's heart set off a huge wave, he couldn't believe his ears, "Baoyu, aren't you kidding me?" Abolish the Beijing camp?
Who do you think I am, the one sitting in the palace, it is absolutely impossible to abolish the Beijing camp, unless you plan to turn against all the nobles in the capital!
Otherwise, with this order, your uncle and I will be dead on the streets the next day! ”
Wang Ziteng resolutely rejected Jia Baoyu's proposal.
Jia Baoyu shrugged his shoulders and continued: "If this doesn't work, there is only one way to train the new army, but this method requires a lot of silver and food, and also a large number of new firearms, which also needs to be smashed out of silver.
Do the math, you only need 5,000 firearms soldiers, but you have to prepare 500,000 taels of silver, because the equipment of the Shenji Battalion is too poor now, and it needs to be transformed and upgraded. ”
When Wang Ziteng heard this, he rolled his eyes, "500,000 taels? You'd better kill me, I said nephew, are you giving me ideas, or do you want to me off?
Didn't you make it clear that you would dig a pit and let me jump into it? You still swore to me that there was a way, and with these two methods, I almost suspected that you were a spy sent by Fan Fucui! ”
"Actually, there is another way, it depends on whether my uncle is willing or not." Jia Baoyu said.
