Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

Tune them over, obviously not to let them rot together,

According to the past experience of the military, at that time, there must be strict institutional measures to watch their every move after taking office, and even test the results again and again.

If you do well, it will naturally add a lot of color to your resume, but if something goes wrong, there will be absolutely no good fruit to eat.

Of course, the most important point is that in the past, under the protection of Li Xiu, they were all executors, but now, they seem to be decision makers, can they do well...

Apparently, few of the generals had any confidence in their hearts, and they were all full of worries and apprehensions.

Naturally, Li Xiu could see the apprehension of the generals, but he didn't feel much about it.

His layout naturally only has these. In the current situation, although there will be no major reforms, the implementation of some subtle measures is naturally indispensable.

For example, the Academy of Martial Arts originally belonged to the Dudufu of the Five Armies. Its positioning goal was to benchmark against the Imperial Academy at the beginning of its establishment. system.

Through the spread of these nobles, coupled with the dispatch and training of the entire Daming military system in the name of the Martial Academy, it will be enough for him to complete the initial transformation of the entire Daming military system in a few years.

And after that, with the foundation, many big policies and big strategies, if they continue to be implemented, someone will cooperate to implement them. In this way, it is time to make bold decisions.

Of course, for Li Xiu, these are not things that can be seen overnight. Just drop a child, pay attention to it occasionally, move it occasionally, and let it grow. At present, the real center of gravity is still in the capital and in the north.

Stopping his steps, Li Xiu's gaze once again focused on the Great Ming Qiankun Map.

The two Zhili in the north and the south, and the thirteen ministers announced the political department, that is, the two capitals and thirteen provinces in the popular sense, and they formed the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Under such a division, the land of a province is naturally much larger than that of later generations. Just like today's Shaanxi, it was formed by the joint forces of Gansu and Shaanxi in the Yuan Dynasty. The area under its jurisdiction is roughly equivalent to that of later generations of Shaanxi, The three provinces of Gansu and Ningxia, the Hetao region of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the Xining and Haidong regions of Qinghai Province, the northern part of the two Tibetan Autonomous Prefectures of Haibei and Huangnan, and the eastern part of the Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture...

It is conceivable that such a large jurisdiction and a corrupt situation in a province mean what it means to a country.

But now, it is not a province or a place that is in turmoil. In fact, the entire northern part of Daming, and several provinces, are not at peace.

External troubles are still uncertain, but internal troubles are getting more and more boiling.

The rebellion in Shaanxi seemed to spread to Shanxi at the beginning. For this reason, Li Xiu didn't mobilize too many troops from the Xuanfu in that battle, and the main force was used to prevent the rebellion in Shaanxi.

The rebellion spread across Shanxi, although it was suppressed by Xuanfu's heavy troops, at the same time, after the situation in Mobei was settled and Xuanfu's external troubles were tentatively settled, Li Xiu specially ordered Zhou Yuji, who stayed behind in Xuanfu, to lead the Xuanfu Datong The army of the town entered Shaanxi to suppress the rebellion.

Now, the Battle of Mobei is over, the Battle of Monan is also over, and the situation in Liaodong is temporarily stable, but the trend of suppressing bandits in Shaanxi is still boiling, and even spread more and more.

Up to now, the Shaanxi rebellion has even spread to Sichuan, Henan and other places.

But the most frustrating thing is that this is still in the situation of the battle against thieves.

It's just Zhou Yuji's military reports. Since he entered Shaanxi, in less than half a year, there have been no less than [-] big and small battles, and there are not a few Caotou Kings who have been suppressed.

However, the thieves are more and more suppressed, and more and more battles are fought.

The reason for this situation, in fact, is not that the imperial court is unable to provide relief, but that the imperial court is completely unable to provide relief in the current disaster situation.

Since Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, the natural disasters in the north have completely entered an outbreak. Severe droughts, earthquakes, and locust plagues have erupted all over the north, and Shaanxi can only be said to be more serious.

Such a large-scale natural disaster, not to mention the doomsday dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, even if it is placed in any prosperous dynasty in history, it is enough to hurt the muscles and bones. From prosperity to decline, it is not impossible for the dynasty to collapse due to a little carelessness , let alone the current Daming!

Such a natural disaster, coupled with the corrupt and corrupt official system, not to mention that the current Ming court has no spare power to provide relief, even if there is, if the official system is not clear, it will just fatten up this group of corrupt bureaucrats. Hungry, should be homeless, still homeless...

Similarly, those who should be driven to a dead end and risk their lives to rebel still have to rebel...

If it wasn't for the war against Houjin that made Li Xiu worry that the domestic situation would be severe, which would affect the course of the war, Li Xiu would never have bothered to send troops to fight against thieves.

At least, he would never do such useless efforts before the corruption of the official system improved.

However, the sky did not fulfill the wishes of the people, and the emperor passed away. Now he is assisting the country in governing the country. In fact, the great tomorrow is already in his hands.

Of course, it's not purely useless work, at least, the results are outstanding, and, under the overwhelming force of the army, there is no chance for the grass-headed kings everywhere to recuperate, annex each other, and sit big. In this way, it can be regarded as avoiding the situation. the point.

After all, due to the mutiny planned by some unruly people back then, nearly half of Yansui, one of the important towns on the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty, became thieves in today's rebellion!

Today, these thieves who have nowhere to go have already flooded the various thieves' armies. This is also one of the reasons why the thieves are spreading and it is difficult to contain them.

The Yansui soldiers will be rotten again, but it is also one of the nine border towns of the Ming Dynasty. It is the essence of the military power of the Ming Dynasty.

All kinds of thoughts flowed, Li Xiu's eyes flickered slightly, and the fatigue between his brows was hard to hide.

If possible, he would naturally want to attack with a large army and completely put down the chaos in one fell swoop.

But obviously, no matter how you look at it, it is not realistic.

No one can resist the mighty power of nature.

The official system has never been clear, and the corrupt bureaucracy is enough to turn any good thing into a bad thing.

The national treasury is empty, and he, or Da Ming, does not have the financial and material resources to face all the corruption caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters.

After all, this did not happen overnight. The natural disasters of the Little Ice Age were far from over.

Even if it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to achieve stability for a while, as long as there is no help for a while, the situation will still be completely corrupted.

Under the interlocking chain, as long as one chain cannot be solved, then it is false to completely solve the internal problem.

2Chapter 16 I hope you will wait and do it for yourself!

What it feels like to face a powerful person in power, this can almost be said to be a distant memory for the civil servants of Ming Dynasty.

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, apart from Hongwu Yongle, the two emperors on horseback were extremely powerful, while the other emperors of all dynasties had never acted truly powerful.

At most, it is nothing more than being bound by the imperial power and fighting against the civil servants within the rules.

The Emperor Chongzhen, who had never died, was also powerful for a period of time by virtue of his illustrious military power, but the status of the emperor was a symbol of power and a great constraint.

The Ming Dynasty lasted for more than 200 years, and countless etiquette and rules have been woven into a cage that is difficult to untie. In every aspect, every word and deed of the emperor is bound!

The ancestral rules that the courtiers picked up at their fingertips were like the killer's trump card that they could kill one by one, suppressing the emperor to death.

A man as scheming as Emperor Jiajing was oppressed by these ancestral rules.

It's just that all of this has completely changed since the death of Emperor Chongzhen.

The courtiers can use the ancestral rules to suppress and refute the emperor, but now, everyone knows that the one in power is not the young emperor who can't speak coherently, but the powerful Qin Guogong who holds a heavy army.

Are the ancestral rules still useful?

A court discussion has never been discussed by the courtiers, and it has not even been approved by the Ministry of War, which has the right to appoint and remove generals, promote, and train the army. A low-level soldier.

If it's just like this, it won't make the courtiers fluctuate too much. After all, whether it's the Beijing Army, the Forbidden Army, Jizhen, Xuanfu, even the Ministry of War, they can't interfere in the slightest. .

But now, this time, the promotion of dozens of generals and the transfer of as many as [-] low-level soldiers are not among the various ministries under Duke Qin, but for the first time jumped out of the army called Zhenbei Army by the government and the public. The scope of this has touched the military towns of guards all over the Ming Dynasty!

Dozens of military ranks and above, two thousand soldiers of the Northern Army, of course, among the nearly [-] soldiers of the Northern Army, there are hundreds of martial arts students who are regarded as thorns in the eyes of the courtiers...

All these, along with this transfer, spread from Zhenbei Army to other important guard towns of Ming Dynasty.

There is an old saying that everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart.

And now, the heart of Duke Qin is well known to everyone.

How can the courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty fail to see what this huge transfer and promotion means?

It is true that everyone in the world knows that Qin Guogong was invincible in all battles, and everyone knows the elite of the Zhenbei Army.

Such a large-scale mobilization and promotion will definitely greatly change the corruption of the Ming army and reorganize the military prestige of the Ming Dynasty. It will be of great benefit to the current situation of civil unrest and internal and external troubles...

However, everyone can see that if Qin Guogong's step is successfully completed, all the troops of the entire Ming Dynasty will be completely controlled by him.

The power of the Ministry of War will be completely occupied by Duke Qin, and the military power in the hands of the courtiers will be completely lost.

Although this military power can't help them much, but this power is about whether it is available, not whether it is useful...

At the court meeting, the civil servants who had kept a low profile for a long time finally couldn't stand it under Li Xiu's heavy blow. staged in the hall.

At this moment, behind the gauze curtain, facing the aggressiveness of the courtiers, the Empress Dowager Zhou paled in embarrassment, her fingers clenched the handkerchief tightly, her knuckles turned white.

Although it was a long time ago, how had she ever seen such a scene full of turmoil? Her helpless and weak eyes also subconsciously looked at the person who seemed calm and calm, as if everything had nothing to do with him. On Li Xiu.

At this time, feeling the gaze of the Empress Dowager Zhou, Li Xiu was also taken aback for a moment. After feeling the helplessness and cowardice in the eyes, he suddenly realized that this scene probably frightened the Empress Dowager who had never been through a storm. .

In this way, Li Xiu could only put his mind on the fact that the situation had evolved, so that he could see clearly the most real side of the court.

While thinking about it, Li Xiu stepped forward, bowed to the emperor, and then turned to look at the group of civil servants who were dancing happily.

At this moment, the impassionedness also came to an abrupt end, and all eyes subconsciously focused on Li Xiu.

"May I ask Mr. Sun Ge, the military department has dealt with the civil unrest in Shaanxi for so long, why didn't there be any improvement? Instead, it made it worse?"

In just one sentence, Sun Chuanting was speechless.

Although the Shanxi rebellion is handled by the Ministry of War, everyone knows and can see where the root of the problem lies.

There are many reasons, each of which has sufficient room for justification, but in his position, he cannot resolve the matter, so... any reason is pale and powerless.

Li Xiu didn't give Sun Chuanting too much time, and asked again:

"Thieves and soldiers cross the border, and the prefectures and counties fear it like a tiger. Dare to ask Mr. Sun Ge, why is this?"

Having spoken so far, Li Xiu looked around at the ministers, and said again:

"At the beginning, the bandit chieftain Nurhachi led his army and drove straight in, as if entering a land with no one. I dare to ask you, why is this?"

"Wait, who can give me an answer? Who can give an explanation to the court? Give an explanation to His Majesty?"

After saying this, the whole court was silent.

The answer is obvious, but... who can say it?

These, in the past, were all tacit, at most, repaired in a small way, it can be seen, it can be used, how can it be like now, when the underwear is lifted and directly carried to the table,

What's more, many of them can't help themselves...

"If you are in his position, seek his own government, and enjoy the imperial salary, then you will fulfill the responsibility of being in the imperial court!"

Speaking of this, Li Xiu suddenly paused for a while, glanced at every minister present, and snorted coldly:

"Aren't you accusing me of disrespecting the ancestral system, acting recklessly, hiding evil intentions, and encroaching on your power?"

"The commander-in-chief told you that the commander-in-chief has something to do, wait, you can either cooperate well, or stay where it is cool, the commander-in-chief is not afraid of what you are afraid of, and the commander-in-chief dares to do what you dare not do. The person you dare not kill, I dare to kill!"

"All in all, in a word, if you can manage it, I will manage it, and if you can't control it, this commander will also manage it!"

"This Commander-in-Chief, the Governor-General of the Five Armies, controls the soldiers and horses of the world, and assists the country in governing the country. This Commander has this right and the ability to do so!"

After speaking so far, Li Xiu took a deep breath, turned around, and bowed to the emperor again.

"The late emperor ordered that the sun, moon, mountains and rivers will always exist, and the great Ming country will always exist!"

"I dare not forget!"

Immediately, Li Xiucai looked at the officials again:

"The kings and princes of the Song Dynasty said that the changes of the sky are not enough to fear, the ancestors are not enough to follow the law, and people's words are not enough to be sympathetic!"

"This sentence, today, I give it to you all, I hope you can do it for yourself in the future!"

……

2Chapter 17 The World's Generals Leave the Martial Arts Academy

At this moment, there was no sound in the hall. Facing Duke Qin, who showed his strong side in front of the officials for the first time, the officials were all at a loss.

No one expected that just one impeachment would cause such a big reaction from the Duke of Qin, and it could even be said that he completely tore his face.

The face is torn, obviously, which means that if there is a little carelessness, the rules will be broken again.

And the Qin Guogong in front of him undoubtedly has the ability and confidence to break the rules.

All of a sudden, many courtiers who were clamoring just now secretly complained in their hearts, for fear that the Duke of Qin would sneak out to kill chickens and scare monkeys.

Li Xiu didn't care what the officials thought.

He wanted to gradually plan the court and control the court bit by bit, but this does not mean that he will sit back and watch the courtiers jump up again, and then return to the previous situation of the same party and different parties. The difference is still himself.

First the ceremony and then the soldier, what should be said, said, and then jump, then he can't say it, he has to kill!

Right now, it is enough for the officials to be intimidated, whether it is out of sincerity or forced, if the goal is achieved.

With this change in the court proceedings, naturally there is no need to continue, and it ended hastily.

However, the uproar caused by this court meeting and Li Xiu's words had only just begun.

Some people say that Qin Guogong's move is because he can't help his ambition and wants to do something that will harm the country.

Some people also said that Qin Guogong was expressing his mentality and wanted to carry out reforms!

There are different opinions, and each sticks to his own opinion.

But now, the hustle and bustle, except for talking about it, can't change the fact.

After all, if it is political affairs, the assistance of civil servants is indispensable, but if it is just military affairs, Li Xiugang is arbitrary, and no one can stop it.

A transfer involving dozens of participating generals and up to [-] key soldiers was also carried out in an orderly manner.
