Chapter 593: Zhu Gaochi chose not to suffer the people
"Tang Yun probably won't be able to survive it."
Zhu Di came back from Beijing, met Zhu Gaochi, and brought back bad news.
Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi was a little disappointed.
"Would you like to meet him?"
Zhu Di knew the relationship between Tang Yun and Zhu Gaochi, so he took the initiative to say.
"I'm going."
Zhu Gaochi replied in the affirmative.
Historically, the generals of the Beiping system were divided into two factions, one faction supported Zhu Gaochi and the other faction supported Zhu Gaochu.
It was Tang Yun who supported Zhu Gaochi, and Qiu Fu who supported Zhu Gaochu.
Both died early.
Tang Yun died first, Qiu Fu is not young, and he probably won't live for a few years, it may change, but no one knows, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang is still alive.
The shoe is on the other foot.
The two younger brothers were very well-behaved under his tutelage and did not dare to have other thoughts.
The Peking system is also not as dominant as it has been in history.
However, Zhu Gaochi is still an important general of the Beiping system, because the generals of the Beiping department have proved their ability and talent.
As for the generals of other factions, Zhu Gaochi is also using them according to their aptitude to ensure the stability of the Ming army.
"There are many old friends who have passed away in recent years."
Zhu Di sighed.
When he was in Beiping, Sun Yan, who had already been a scholar, went to Jinzhou to open up the sphere of influence of Yanwangfu for their father and son of Yanwang, but he died before he had time to enjoy the blessings.
"You still have to be more gracious to the veterans."
"What did my father hear?"
"Nope."
"Why?" Zhu Gaochi asked curiously.
"Always have your own basic plate and have people you can trust."
"Zhu Neng and Zhang Fu, Qiu Fu and Wang Zhen, Li Yuan and Wang Cong, aren't they trustworthy?" Zhu Gaochi looked funny.
"Their qualifications are a little shallow."
Zhu Di said embarrassedly.
Without the Battle of Jingjing, there are still a large number of old-fashioned generals in the Ming Dynasty, although the generals of the Beiping faction have been reused over the years, the voices of the generals of other factions in the army are also not small.
"My father led them to fight in the north and south, and their achievements were impressive, who can not be convinced."
"I'm afraid of villains."
"Who's the villain?"
Zhu Di faced Zhu Gaochi's questioning, and finally told the information that Ji Gang had investigated.
Zhu Yuanzhang's initial layout.
The various factions in the army gradually formed a military system headed by the king of the besieged domain, and the capital camp was headed by the nobles.
Deng Yu's army was handed over to the King of Qin.
Deng Yu is different from others, he defected to Zhu Yuanzhang with his 10,000 troops and horses, relying on the founding of the country, he was a big mountain in the Ming army at that time, and King Qin married Deng Yu's daughter.
After Xu Da's death, part of his political legacy in the army was inherited by Zhu Di.
In a word.
With Lan Yu's killing, the main forces of the army revolved around the major vassal kings, except for the Jingying.
After all these years of rectification and replacement in Beijing, Zhu Gaochi is not worried.
King Ning didn't mention it.
King Qin and King Jin are not without roots in the army, even if it is the second generation of King Qin, when Zhu Di ascended the throne, he didn't pay much attention to Zhu Di, and even dared to snub the envoys sent by Zhu Di.
The two were punished by Zhu Di successively, in short, the eldest son of the two elder brothers was removed by Zhu Di.
Why did they dare to disagree with Zhu Di.
Because they have their own power in the army, there is no Jingyan Battle now, and the influence of the two princes in the army is also still there, although with the development of the past few years, it has weakened a lot.
"It's still not thorough."
"That's the only way, after all, you have to worry about your imperial grandfather's mood."
Zhu Di looked embarrassed, it was not easy to be someone else's son, and his own son was radical, so he couldn't wait to directly ban the princely palaces, and he didn't even want to leave his name.
"They should not dare, they do not have the courage to break the boat."
Zhu Gaochi said affirmatively.
Historically, they have not rebelled in the end.
"Your military reform has offended too many people and caused a lot of dissatisfaction, I am afraid that at this time and that time, can you know which people are loyal on the surface and unfaithful in their hearts."
Zhu Gaochi shook his head.
The army of the Yongle Dynasty, controlled by the Beiping system, was of course loyal, but now it is not.
There are pros and cons to everything.
For the stability and future of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gaochi used and absorbed a large number of generals from other factions to avoid the independence of the Beiping faction, and the advantage was that the Ming Dynasty recovered as quickly as possible and ensured the smooth reform of the military system.
The army ceded huge benefits, ended the hereditary of thousands and hundreds of households, and gave benefits to military households, which can be said to have shaken the foundation of the guard in the early Ming Dynasty.
"I believe in the soldiers." Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.
"I hope so."
Zhu Di sighed.
"Your imperial grandfather's health has not been good recently, don't let him be distracted and sad, if there is anything, wait for his old man's health to improve before bringing it up." Zhu Di said comfortingly.
Zhu Gaochi nodded.
He has never been worried about the affairs of the army, and the affairs of the army have Zhu Di here, which is his biggest support.
also understands Zhu Di's feelings for Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang is not only Zhu Di's father, but also an admirer of his life path, not just the relationship between father and son.
"Father should ask Ji Gang to send more people to keep an eye on the vassal palace, as for the affairs of the army, the sons have already promulgated the titles and promoted a large number of generals, and if some people are not satisfied, the sons and daughters will not be able to give them what they want."
It is the people who emigrate.
What Zhu Gaochi wants to protect is the interests of the people in the new land, not to let the people of the Ming Dynasty go to the new land and become tenants of the nobles.
It's easy to get yourself a good name.
Distribute the greatest benefits to the officials and generals, so that they can continue to benefit from the common people, then everyone in the world will support them, and their name as a sage will surely spread throughout the world.
This kind of thing, even Zhang Juzheng can't do it, he chose the righteousness of the country, as a royal family, is he not even as good as a courtier.
A nobleman and minister.
Supporting wives and concubines, children, domestic servants and maidservants, the bigger the official, the bigger the pomp, and no amount of money can be satisfied.
It's like the Jia Mansion of the Red Mansion.
What an innocent person, with such a big family business, he has to find ways to make money.
Where to make the money? Naturally, it is on the common people.
The development of social civilization is a history in which the interests of interest strata are constantly shrinking.
From fiefdom aristocrats to family valves, from family valves to powerful landlords, from powerful landlords to capitalist society.
Control everything in the territory, change to a group of slaves, then to dependency, and then to employment.
The maid system is already an opening opened by Zhu Gaochi for the interest class.
The industrialized society, the people-oriented Ming Dynasty, could not provide the appetite for the enslaved people who met the needs of the powerful landlord class.
Even if it's a national prince.
The future can only be the existence of a large family model, not the lifestyle of the Red Mansion Jiafu.
Zhu Gaochi's goal has never changed.
Industrial Daming.
And not the Ming Empire.
What is industry?
How many factories are called industrial?
Industry is a social model.
Western civilization has undergone the development of industrialization, and various civilizations have made great progress, is the Ming Dynasty inferior to the West? Zhu Gaochi didn't believe it.
The law of Daming formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty.
The stipulation that slaves are not allowed to exist can be described as a great restoration of civilization after the death of the Song Dynasty.
Due to the limitations of the times, this Ming law left a gap.
It was stipulated that some nobles could keep certain slaves.
And with the bankruptcy of the social productive forces, a large number of poor people were born, resulting in many people actually working as slaves and maids of large families in the name of worshipping their godmother's father.
Now that industrialization has begun to lack people, how could Zhu Gaochi allow the existence of such a group and turn back the wheel of history.
It's just a bad habit left over from the previous yuan.
It's like a funeral system.
Chinese civilization has long banned the funeral system, and with the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, it has been revived, and many bad habits like this have survived, all of which Zhu Gaochi wants to solve.
Seeing his son's resolute attitude, Zhu Di did not persuade again.
Left the Mandarin Palace.
Ge Cheng was waiting in the Wuying Palace.
"His Royal Highness the Prince."
"I didn't say your proposal, I look at the boss, and I will never accept it." Zhu Di said directly.
"It is indeed the character of His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson."
Ge Cheng couldn't help but laugh.
There are not many nobles who are willing to go to the new area, and not many people are interested in granting even land.
Population is the main reason.
Therefore, Ge Cheng proposed that the people could be organized to emmigrate and become the common people in the territory of the nobles, that is, the existence of tenants, and I believe that after this plan is passed, it will be supported by the nobles.
Give tens of thousands of acres of land, and there are hundreds or thousands of people in your hands, are you afraid that there is no nobleman who is willing.
"You still bring it up, knowing it's going to be like this."
Zhu Di showed dissatisfaction.
"It is the responsibility of the minister to provide solutions to the superiors, and it is not up to the ministers to decide whether the superiors use them or not." Ge Cheng was not worried about Zhu Di's dissatisfaction.
Really.
Hearing Ge Cheng's confession, Zhu Di had nothing to say.
"His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun's encouragement of immigrants is a labor-intensive, material, and inefficient thing, but His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun has the people in his heart and pretends to be righteous, which is really a blessing for the people."
Ge Cheng's eyes showed incredulity.
How many heroes and heroes, in order to achieve their goals as soon as possible, it is not unacceptable for the people to suffer.
Another example is the migration strategy of the saints.
Despite a lot of preparations, there were still some casualties among the people on the way from the south to Liaodong.
But this is a national policy.
Since it is a national policy, the people have to suffer, after all, it is a major event that brings benefits, and it is of great benefit to the country and the people.
Ge Cheng didn't know the history.
In the future, the Qing Dynasty will only fill in the next Sichuan with Huguang, and the number of immigrants who died is 100 times more than that of Zhu Yuanzhang, who immigrated from the south to Liaodong, a very far and bitter cold land.
Although he didn't know the future, Ge Cheng was still amazed.
Looking at history, on the contrary, it is a people-oriented, unwavering political concept like His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, which can be described as convincing and admirable, and can endure it.
Day 2.
Zhu Gaochi personally went to Sun's mansion.
Sun Yan was old and senior, and the noble system formulated by Zhu Gaochi was strict, but he also gave Sun Yan the title of earl, higher than the baron viscount.
Capital.
The house rewarded by Zhu Di, the door of Zhu was wide open.
Sun Yan's children and grandchildren flocked to see Zhu Gaochi and guided Zhu Gaochi to visit Sun Yan.
Sun's mansion is not small.
Courtyard, pool, loft are all available.
On the road, the servants and maids wore bright clothes, which were better than those of ordinary people, and everyone walked attentively, which showed that the rules were strict.
"Dad, His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson has come down."
Sun Yan's eldest son was beside the sickbed, shouting urgently and quietly.
Zhu Gaochi frowned.
"General Sun."
Zhu Gaochi took the initiative to step forward, stopped the other party, and screamed in a low voice, while Sun Yan closed his eyes tightly, breathing out more and taking in less air, his face was swollen, and time was running out.
"I was still a step too late to speak to General Sun."
"Last night my father could still speak, I can't think of today, yesterday the angel came to tell that the imperial grandson will come to visit my father today, when my father was lying in bed, I was going to get out of bed, I was persuaded by the angel, my father heard about it, and smiled."
Sun Yan's eldest son was full of grief, and there was a trace of regret in his eyes.
What is it to regret, Zhu Gaochi is too lazy to delve into it.
"General Sun Lao is an important minister of the country, and he has merit with the country, if you still have any unfulfilled wishes, you can send someone to tell me, and I will consider it as appropriate."
Zhu Gaochi said soothingly.
met with the Sun family one by one, and went to comfort the old lady before returning to the palace.
On the streets of the capital.
Zhu Gaochi watched from the carriage.
When he was in Beiping, he could run everywhere, and since he came to the capital, he has only been out of the palace a handful of times, not only for himself, but also for the Ming Dynasty.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang has been conspired to attack, let alone himself.
Daming has stabilized now, and the situation is not as tense as before, Zhu Gaochi looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street.
Several beggars were also seen.
Beggars are allowed to beg in the capital, and Zhu Gaochi personally decreed that beggars must not be forbidden for the sake of decency.
Some beggars are deliberately beggars, and some people are indeed forced by life.
The former cannot be used to prohibit the latter.
The civilization of society can be best embodied in the attitude towards the weak.
Because society is a whole.
The strong need to exist, and the weak need to be taken care of, otherwise there is no civilization in a cold society.
"I wish it had been."
Just finished speaking.
Zhu Gaochi was stunned, he suddenly realized why the future generations should urgently tell the people, even to the point of excessive, hoping that the people would learn the truth of their own resistance.
Civilization has never fallen from the sky.
It's not innate.
It will progress and it will go backwards.
In ancient and modern times, when there is regression, there is often more progress than progress.
As the ancestors said: sail against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat.
Today two chapters are big chapters, equal to three chapters.
