0422 Ming Royal Navy
Before Liu Haojia finished speaking, many civil officials said loudly, "No!"
"Never!"
At this time, the civil officials were united, because they definitely did not want the emperor to increase the power in his hands, even if it was a navy that could only float on the sea! Even Zhang Juzheng sat up straight, opened his eyes, and looked at Liu Haojia with a cold gaze!
At this time, Zhang Siwei got up and said, "Wu Ningbo, the army of the imperial court is free to be managed by the imperial court, your idea will not work!"
Liu Haojia bowed down and said, "Elder Zhang Ge, there must be rules for the imperial court to manage the army, but the navy is different from the previous army, and the lower official said this because he doesn't want anyone to use various laws to embarrass the navy in the future and delay the development of the navy!"
Zhang Siwei said righteously: "You also know that the navy is a new army, but the more this is the case, the more you have to obey the laws of the imperial court! It must be known that the laws of the imperial court have been determined after war, so it is necessary to abide by them! If you had made it clear in advance that something like this happened, how could you get to such a situation? So the rules that should be followed still have to be followed! As for the development of the navy, as long as you abide by the rules of the imperial court, who will stop you?"
Liu Haojia said with a smile: "It's true that no one stopped the officials, it's just that they haven't paid their salaries for a few months! It's just that if these soldiers mutinied, they don't know what the court will do with the lower officials?"
Zhang Siwei was a little speechless when he heard this, but he still flicked his sleeves and said, "This incident will never happen again! And Your Majesty will definitely investigate thoroughly, and will definitely give you an explanation, so why do you hold on to that!"
Liu Haojia said: "People often say that if there is one, there will be two, and if there is two, there will be a large string! Now that someone has set a precedent, God knows what will happen next time? Therefore, in the eyes of the lower officials, it is better for the navy to belong directly under the direct jurisdiction of His Majesty!"
Zhang Siwei was very unhappy after being bumped by Liu Haojia! In his opinion, as a pavilion elder, he is talking to you like this, which is already giving enough face! But you're still not obedient! So he sneered and said, "The soldiers and horses in the world are all under the management of the imperial court, is your navy still planning to cross the imperial court?"
Liu Haojia also sneered and said, "Xiaguan doesn't dare! However, Zhang Ge should have heard of a sentence, that is, the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister! Therefore, whether the navy is under the direct jurisdiction of His Majesty should also be decided by His Majesty!"
After speaking, Liu Haojia turned around and bowed to Emperor Wanli and said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to break the holy judgment!"
Zhang Siwei also turned to Emperor Wanli and said, "Your Majesty, the navy was originally established to defend the sea frontier, if the navy was reduced to a royal eagle dog, wouldn't it be detrimental to the original intention? So it's not feasible!"
Liu Haojia arched his hand again and said, "Your Majesty, now the royal family already has the Jinyi Guard, but the Jinyi Guard is good at land warfare, and the strength of the navy is at sea! As long as the navy is also included in the royal government, these two legs can be considered safe, and please consider carefully!"
Zhang Siwei scolded in his heart when he heard this, everyone knows that the purpose of not letting the emperor control the military power is to limit the imperial power! If you're loyal to the royal family, you can do that, but you can't single out that kind of thing! It's not to make everyone's face ugly!
Sure enough, Emperor Wanli's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he looked thoughtful! At this time, Liu Haojia hurriedly added, "If Your Majesty is interested, you can also merge the navy into Jinyiwei!" This does not violate the laws of the imperial court, and allows the navy to be under the direct jurisdiction of the royal family!"
Emperor Wanli didn't answer their words, but turned to Zhang Juzheng and said, "What does Sir, think of Wu Ningbo's proposal?"
Zhang Juzheng knew that Emperor Wanli was opening conditions at this time! Meaning, if you agree, I'll let those bastards from the household department and the military department go! So at this time he also hesitated!
In his opinion, the household department and the military department are very important places, which are of great help to him, and must not be lost! But he also knows that these two places really can't be checked, and all the bad debts will be exposed as soon as they are checked! When the time comes, the people who can stay in these two parts will probably be counted on two hands!
When the time comes, not to mention his great cause, even he, the capital of civil officials, will be abandoned by the civil and official clique! So after hesitating for a moment, he made up his mind and said, "I think I can! But there are still some rules to be set!"
Emperor Wanli's eyes widened slightly in surprise when he heard this! He thought about Zhang Juzheng's compromise
But he felt that it would take at least a long debate, and he didn't expect Zhang Juzheng to make such a happy decision! But he said quickly, "Sir, please!"
Zhang Juzheng ignored the surprised or angry gazes of the civilian officials around him, and said directly: "The old minister of the book when the navy was established has seen it, and it can be said that there is something to say! However, since the navy has assumed the responsibility of overseas operations and is also distinguished from other naval divisions, the navy will not be able to enter inland rivers from today onwards! The army cannot operate on land in a structured manner, and if it is really necessary, it must be allowed by the imperial court!"
Emperor Wanli looked at Liu Haojia, meaning to ask him what he thought. And Liu Haojia was overjoyed at this time!
Not to mention that the navy is not allowed to enter the inland river, in the future, the navy's ships will be large and heavy, and the inland river will definitely not be able to accommodate them! As for the fact that naval soldiers are not allowed to act on land in formation, it doesn't matter if the conditions are insignificant! Because the navy itself does not intend to make trouble on land, this kind of thing should be undertaken by the Tianjin Wu'an Army!
So Liu Haojia immediately nodded and agreed, and said, "What Zhang Xiangye said is that the navy can do it!"
Zhang Juzheng nodded and said, "Then there is another point, since the navy is going to become a royal fleet and directly belong to the royal government, then from today onwards, the imperial court will no longer prepare the navy's salary, and it will be borne by the inner treasury!"
At this time, before Liu Haojia could speak, Emperor Wanli had already said loudly, "How can that happen! I'm not rich either! And I finally got some money, and it was all subsidized into the treasury! Now with a fleet of tens of thousands of people, where can I afford it?"
Liu Haojia also chimed in and said, "That's it, Zhang Xiangye! And isn't the military salary of the Jinyi Guard also from the treasury? Why is it that the navy is responsible for the inner library here, this is unreasonable!"
The courtiers all felt relaxed when they heard Zhang Juzheng's words, saying a thousand, saying ten thousand, if your navy can fight again, don't you still have to eat food! If there is no food, it must not be controlled by the imperial court!
This time, the people of the military department did a bad job, how could there be a person who did not pay money for several months in a row! Pay silver every two or three months, so it hurts to kill people with such a soft knife! Sure enough, Zhang Xiangye is still powerful, and he got to their sore spot all of a sudden!
