Chapter 167: Monkey Anxious Old Zhu! Divide the civil and military! (Ask for a commuter pass!) )
Longqing Zhu Zaikun's voice just fell.
All the princes of heaven frowned.
In fact, there is some truth in what Zhu Zaikun said, especially in the periods when the Wa Kingdom was in war, such as the Warring States Period on Wa Island.
Because the long-term wars on the island are all men, although most of the time the wars break out at the village level, but these Japanese slaves are still ruthless enough to fight, sometimes they do it ruthlessly, and half of the village has to die at a time, and half of the village becomes a widow.
Over time, the ratio of men and women on the island will naturally be unbalanced, and there will inevitably be more Japanese women than Japanese men.
"That's what I thought."
"Select those who are of the highest appearance from among the widows and fill them into the Faculty Division."
"The rest of the rest can follow the example of the great grandfather in the past to set up the sixteenth floor of Qinhuai, and open restaurants in the thirteen provinces of the country in the name of the imperial court, which will definitely bring an extremely rich income to the imperial court."
Paying for farming has always been a lucrative business.
After finishing speaking, Zhu Zaikun held his breath and waited a little nervously for the scrutiny from the ancestors.
"Well, this method is not impossible."
Lao Zhu was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.
The reason why he set up the sixteenth floor of Qinhuai was essentially to increase the income of the imperial court.
And this Qinhuai sixteenth floor, to put it bluntly, is the official hook column.
Lao Zhu Di and the other heavenly sons frowned slightly, but they did not express any dissenting opinions.
After all, in this era, women are, to a certain extent, actually equivalent to goods, and they can be clearly priced, not to mention the interracial women like the widows, who define these widows in terms of equivalents, which are trophies.
Every time the Ming Dynasty sent troops to conquer or counterinsurgency places, there was an unwritten convention that the counterinsurgency commander would get some local products from the local area to take away when the squad returned to the court, some of which were presented to the imperial court, and some of which were kept for their own gifts to make some connections.
This local specialty includes some young boys and girls in the areas where the rebellion has been suppressed.
Needless to say, young men are all one-size-fits-all, such as the Three Treasure Eunuchs.
And the maiden, the one with excellent looks will be offered to the palace.
Even this practice has changed the historical trend of the Ming Dynasty.
For example, the biological mother of Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youji.
In the early years of Chenghua, the Tusi rebellion in the land of Datengxia, and Zhu Jianshen, the emperor of Chenghua, took Han Yong as his commander and sent troops to Guangxi to quell the rebellion.
After Han Yong successfully quelled the rebellion, before the class, he selected some local souvenirs from the local area and sent them to Jingshi according to the custom, including the biological mother of Emperor Hongzhi, Ji.
So, if you look at the problem from this perspective.
That Zhu Zaikun's proposal to confiscate all the widows as prostitutes and use them to generate revenue for the Ming Dynasty's finances is actually not an uncommon thing, and it is even beneficial to the country.
Ji Boying glanced at Zhu Zaikun, didn't say anything more about this matter, just gave him a look to sit down.
If we look at this from the perspective of future generations, this will not work.
After all, this trade in farmland is illegal, and Marx did not allow it to exist in the first place.
But this is the Ming Dynasty, and now is the era of absolute monarchy, and the situation is completely different.
And in fact, at this time, there are really not many high-quality women who can be screened out, and generally speaking, the big buckteeth and Luo ring legs should occupy the mainstream appearance.
"The affairs of the Japanese girls on the island, you will arrange them according to your own situation."
"There is a little reminder here that the future development of the handicraft industry in the Ming Dynasty also requires a large part of the labor, and in the process of semi-industrialization, the lack of production capacity can be filled by women."
After Ji Boying finished speaking, it was equivalent to ending this topic.
Then he thought of something, and his eyes swept over the group of princes of heaven present.
"Do any of you have any questions? Now it's all about asking all at once. ”
Although students are allowed to ask questions in class, they can't be interrupted at every turn, and the frequent interruptions of you and me one by one really affect the rhythm of the class too much.
Everyone present shook their heads slightly when they heard this.
"Hmm."
"Next, this lesson will continue to return to the topic we just talked about."
"How to fundamentally improve the status of military generals"
"I'm giving you a cup of tea to discuss and summarize."
"After a cup of tea, each group sent a representative to talk about what measures you have taken in your respective time and space, and how you have promoted the status of military generals."
Anyway.
Ji Boying sat back on the Taishi chair in the center of the podium, leaned back on the chair, and closed his eyes slightly.
I had insomnia last night, and I was really a little tired.
And after this theoretical class is over, he wants to take Lao Zhu to Hongwu to take a look at the future generations of Hongwu during the recess.
Then, he also took these princes to the Spanish Empire for many generations, and analyzed the gains and losses from different latitudes from the perspective of the rise and decline of the first generation of the sunset.
Then, I have to go to Xuande Time and Space to load a cup, solve the problem of not implementing the new policy of the Xuande Dynasty, and finally take Wanli Zhu Changluo to win over Li Dan, the ship king of Wanli Time and Space, and open up the official sea trade market of Wanli Time and Space.
When all this is over, it is necessary to dial the timeline of Wanli time and space, and prepare for the "Heroes Airborne Salhu".
Thinking of the next series of busy things, Ji Boying couldn't help but feel a pain in his head.
Sleeping too little is really torture, and people can't help but feel irritable.
As the immortal master spoke, all the dynasties and groups began to talk in a whisper.
In such a noisy environment, Ji Boying was surprised to find that he was able to fall asleep, or rather, to enter a short deep sleep.
Even a short period of deep sleep for three minutes is a salvation for a person with insomnia.
After tea.
Under the active discipline of Zhu Jianshen, the elder of the large class, and Zhu Jianshen, the leader of the second class, the main hall gradually quieted down.
And Ji Boying also opened his eyes at this moment.
The spirit of the whole person obviously looks a lot better.
looked at Lao Zhu's side first.
"Hongwu."
Two words out.
If nothing else, there must be no accident, Ah Biao stood up.
"I have strictly followed the military reform that the Immortal Master talked about in the class earlier, and I have done the following."
"The first point is that after receiving the first batch of silver from the Japanese state, our dynasty immediately began to abolish the military household system and implement it with a conscription system, and gradually began to improve the treatment of military personnel and enhance the status of military personnel among the people."
"The second point is to set up five military regions in the thirteen provinces of the country, and all of them, except for Gyeonggi and border guards, will be divided into five military regions, and according to the words of the immortal master, the command power of the military region will be separated from the right to recommend promotion."
"The third point ,............"
Ah Biao spoke little by little, and what he said was very organized.
However, Ji Boying listened to Ah Biao's words, but his brows furrowed slightly.
He couldn't help but recall the part where he first talked about the military system.
Truly.
From this point of view, Hongwu reform has indeed done nothing wrong, and to a certain extent, it has played a great role in improving the status of military personnel.
"Immortal Master, the student is finished."
Ah Biao saluted respectfully.
"Hmm."
Nodding slightly, he motioned for Ah Biao to sit down.
Then his eyes swept over the others, and he could see that these people's faces were quite embarrassed, and it was most likely that Ah Biao had finished saying everything they knew and didn't know.
Nothing more to say.
Moreover, from the perspective of the system setting of the military system, the reform of the military system of the Hongwu Dynasty is obviously the most perfect.
After all, Hongwu is the beginning of a dynasty, with Lao Zhu, the founding emperor, basically there is no resistance, as long as Lao Zhu makes an order, many systems can be subversively changed from scratch.
Even Jianwen and Yongle in the future, even the Yongle Emperor who was at the height of his prestige, could not do this.
But judging from Ji Boying's sleepless analysis of the past few days, he stayed up late in various time and space.
The promotion of the status of military personnel is obviously not enough.
In other words, there are serious drawbacks.
Even though it is Hongwu time and space, after more than 100 years in the past, especially after a relatively long period of peace.
With the huge civilian clique, the status of the military will still be suppressed uncontrollably.
The decline in the status of military personnel means the weakening of national defense and the decline of the army's combat effectiveness.
"What do you all think of the other groups?"
Glancing at the other princes of the Son of Heaven, Ji Boying asked symbolically.
"The military reform of my dynasty is not much different from that of my eldest brother."
Zhu Lao Si spoke repeatedly, and Lao Zhu Di also nodded.
Emperor Hongxi and Emperor Xuande all spoke along.
As for the second phase of the Son of Heaven students, in addition to the Jiajing time and space that has been scratching the timeline for several years.
The reform of the military system in the rest of the dynasties has not yet been fully implemented, after all, their time is limited, and the reform needs to be carried out step by step, especially the change of the military system, which is not a simple matter overnight.
Looking for a suitable opportunity, it is also necessary to make a unified timeline on each time and space of the second issue.
After all, Ji Boying can't keep waiting for the slow flow of time in various planes and planes, and he still has to fast forward when it's time to fast forward.
"Brother, is there anything wrong with this?"
Lao Zhu's brows furrowed slightly, and he subconsciously blurted out that he had actually felt the effect and thought it was very good.
"Hmm."
Ji Boying took a deep breath, then stood up.
"The points that Ah Biao just said are not problematic from the perspective of the restructuring itself."
"It's just that this kind of change in the military system is actually a palliative rather than a root cause, even if it is the practice of setting up military regions in the 13 provinces of the country."
'Treating the symptoms but not the root cause? ’
Hearing this, all the princes of heaven looked slightly condensed, and they all listened carefully.
Especially the first issue of the Prince of Heaven, they all took a lesson on the military system, and with what Ah Biao just said, they all remembered the content of the class at that time.
'Immortal Master did emphasize in the previous class that the specific military reform of each dynasty needs to be formulated according to the reality of different time and space. ’
No matter how it is changed, the core purpose is to improve the status of military generals in the system. ’
Ah Biao's heart tightened in his seat.
He suddenly realized that there was a very serious problem, and he was guilty of it.
And maybe this problem is not only committed by him, but also by others.
That is, rigidity.
We just followed the points that the Immortal Master said in the previous lesson, and this last most important sentence was not memorized and not thought about for ourselves. ’
'The teaching of the immortal master has always adhered to the purpose of teaching people to fish rather than teaching them to fish. ’
My answer just now must have disappointed the Immortal Master. ’
Taking a deep breath, Ah Biao stared at the immortal master on the podium, his eyes were full of shame, as if he felt that as a scholar, he had failed the immortal master's ardent expectations.
"Listen up."
After Ji Boying took his hands and waists, he stood in the center of this podium and swept over these princes of heaven.
The voice fell.
All the princes on the seat straightened their waists in an instant.
"How to fundamentally solve the way of the status of military generals."
Ji Boying turned over slightly, picked up the pen dipped in ink on the shelf, and the pen passed by, and on this panel of rice paper, four words were written: separation of military and government.
"First, the establishment of a military cabinet corresponding to the cabinet, the empire's soldiers, horses, and garrisons are all from the military cabinet, and the cabinet only has the right to know about the senators."
"Second, the post of secretary of the Ministry of Peace, and the cabinet minister and the cabinet minister, serve as a bridge between the two cabinets."
This setting is very similar to that of later generations of defense ministers, who are both state councilors and military commissars.
"Third, don't forget this point, the right to military command, the right to promote and dispatch soldiers, and the right to deploy military quarters and baggage are all owned by the Son of Heaven, and what the Martial Pavilion has is the right to the daily training of the world's military horses, and the other processes are the same as the cabinet, and there is only the right to draft votes for major military affairs, and the final effect must be approved and stamped by the Son of Heaven."
"Fourth, it is determined that the ancestors are iron, the civil and military are separated, the literati govern the civil, the warriors govern the military, and the ministers of the military cabinet cannot be entered by the civil ministers, and similarly, the ministers of the cabinet shall not be held by the military generals, and the functions of the cabinet and the military cabinet cannot be replaced by alternates."
Although the ancestral system cannot be implemented, to a certain extent, it can become a constraint for those who break the system and can have a certain effect.
As I have said before, there is no perfect system in the world, and there is no eternal system, only a relatively long-lasting system.
The voice fell.
In this seat, all the princes of heaven who have read the history of the Song Dynasty have two words rising in their minds.
'Under the door of the book. ’
'Privy Council. ’
After listening to this, Ah Biao's brows furrowed.
"No, what the immortal master said, combined with the situation of my Ming Dynasty, this is much more perfect than the two-government system of the Song Dynasty. ’
Ji Boying swept over the group of princes of heaven who were thinking, but in fact, he probably guessed what they were thinking.
The essence of the two-government system in the Song Dynasty was also a set of separation of military and government.
It's just that Lao Zhao's idea of doing this is not to protect the status of military generals, but to reduce the power of the prime minister and use the military power of the Privy Council to divide the phase.
So, a problem arises.
Because of the relative non-centralization of the monarch's power, the reduction of the power of the prime minister was not complete.
As mentioned earlier, the so-called relative power is the right to be arbitrary to a certain extent.
So much so that when the throne passed to the third Song Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, the Privy Council had been eroded by the power of the minister.
First of all, the right to military supplies, then the right to appoint and dismiss military generals, then the power of national defense and military affairs, and finally it completely evolved into the central prime minister actually controlling the military power, the Privy Council became a completely empty ornament, and the privy envoy and the privy deputy became honorary titles.
In the future, the same Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi (Prime Minister) often served as the Privy Councillor.
For example, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others, after being confiscated from the military power, were all given the official position of deputy envoy of the Privy Council, which was actually a bright ascension and a secret descent.
There are three things that will lead to this situation.
First, the independence of the Prime Minister, so that the Prime Minister's pursuit of progress and expansion, will naturally erode the power of the Privy Council.
Second, the basic national policy of the Song Dynasty to worship literature and suppress the military, after five dynasties and ten kingdoms, was extremely uneasy about the military people, worried that the military power of the Privy Council was too much, even if the Privy Council was established, the Privy Council was still in charge of the civil servants, and the military generals had no decision-making power at all.
Third, the imperial power is not concentrated enough, so that even if the kings of later generations have the intention to check and balance, they are unable to recreate the balance.
However, these problems do not exist in the Ming Dynasty.
First of all, there is no such thing as power in the Ming Dynasty, and there is no condition for the cabinet to erode the Wu Pavilion.
Whether it is the cabinet or the military cabinet, after its establishment, its essential functions are only the political secretary and military secretary of the Son of Heaven, and all decision-making power and final interpretation power are in the hands of the Son of Heaven.
Second, the original intention of setting up the civil and military pavilion was mainly to improve the status of the military generals and ensure the co-governance of the civil and military forces and the balance between the civil and military forces in the temple, which was also completely different from the suppression of the martial artists by Lao Zhao of the Song Dynasty.
Third, the fundamental nature of the Martial Pavilion and the Privy Council is different, and the establishment of the Martial Pavilion is actually equivalent to the Son of Heaven personally taking over the military power, which will strengthen the Son of Heaven's control over the imperial army, not to mention worrying about any military power that is too much.
"After a quarter of an hour's break, we'll continue with the rest of the practical observation class."
Anyway.
Ji Boying didn't care whether these people had figured out this problem or not, and gave Lao Zhu a hint of coming to my room.
Then he turned down from the podium and walked down the mahogany staircase to the private room at the top of the attic.
Lao Zhu was overjoyed: You can watch the nuclear bomb!
With a monkey anxious face, with Ah Biao, he hurriedly followed Ji Boying upstairs.
The last time Lao Zhu was in such a hurry, he spent candle night with his sister-in-law's cave room.
Old Zhu Di and Zhu Laosi and Little Zhu Si, the old, middle and young Zhu Di glanced at each other, and they all got up and followed behind their buttocks.
