Chapter 41 Taizong Chapter 41 "Yi Zheng Building", the wind of rectification(2/2)
However, even so, Liu Hui and Liu Yang did not express anything, at least during his lifetime, he would not receive more political treatment.
————
Emperor Liu Yang arrived at Guangzheng Hall, but among the busy central officials, none of them stopped what they were doing and just took a sneak peek. The emperor had already stipulated that his inspection of various ministries was a government matter and there was no need to greet him, which would be a neglect of official duties.
Of course, a courtesy reception is still necessary, but this work is the exclusive domain of the political leaders. Those on duty in the palace at this time are Lu Duan, Zhao Kuangyi and Zhang Qixian.
The duty system of the Zhengshitang is relatively "reasonable". On weekdays, there are generally three prime ministers, and the rest are either handling affairs in their respective ministries, or patrolling various places on behalf of the sky.
In addition, just like the relationship between Zhao Kuangyi and Murong Defeng, the official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the government and the public knew that the two were at odds, so Lu Duan tried his best to separate the two when arranging shifts to avoid collision. At this time, Murong De
Fengbian was ordered to go to Hedong, Hebei, Yanshan Road and Liaodong Road to conduct inspection and guidance work in the administration of officials.
"My lords, please take a seat!" In front of these powerful prime ministers, Liu Yang became more and more comfortable. He calmly took a seat with a strong force and took the seat first. He raised his legs and said: "I know that you have worked hard to manage the government.
, I came to Guangzheng Hall to sit here."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty!" Lu Duan took the lead and expressed his gratitude to Liu Yang.
With a smile on his face, Liu Yang asked casually: "Is there anything important?"
"I'm just about to report to Your Majesty!" Lu Duan said with a solemn expression, "I'm reporting from Chengdu that Yin Jilun, the minister stationed in Tubo, died of illness in Luoze."
Hearing this, the slight smile on Liu Yang's face immediately disappeared without a trace. He pondered a little and said sadly: "How many loyal and loyal men have been devoured by the snow-covered plateau!"
After the emperor finished speaking, Lu Duan and others also lowered their heads, as if to express their condolences. After a little silence, Lu Duan also said emotionally: "Throughout the rebellion, attacks, and diseases, there have been four thousand people.
Many soldiers and officials have been laid to rest on the plateau, and nearly half of them died because of unsuitable acclimatization and untreated diseases!"
"There are so many casualties!" Liu Yang frowned almost to death.
Lu Duan lamented: "The geographical climate of Tubo is unusual, and it is really difficult for most of the stationed generals to adapt to it!"
"What solution does the center have?" Liu Yang asked immediately.
Lu Duan replied: "I have discussed this matter and believe that the rotation of the garrison on the plateau may be more frequent, with a period of two to three years. In addition, as for the selection of garrison sources, we should increase the number of soldiers from Sichuan, Longxi, and Hexi.
They adapt to the climate relatively easily.
At the same time, we will try our best to ensure the supply of supplies for the soldiers stationed in Tubo and increase their salaries and benefits to comfort the morale of the military!"
After listening to what he said, Liu Yang nodded in approval, thought for a while, and then said: "The edict was passed to posthumously reward Yin Jilun Zhenxibo for his special service. He also gave his family one hundred thousand money and fifty pieces of brocade each. His descendants,
The officials can be promoted at their discretion!"
"yes!"
"Let's discuss the successor candidates first!" Liu Yang ordered again, with a heavy tone: "I don't know if there is anyone who is willing to go to Luoshang to take charge.
If this issue is placed in Sichuan-Sichuan official circles and military circles, there is no doubt that no matter how bitterly cold it is on the plateau, it is still one's responsibility. With the garrison in hand, those Tubo tribes have always taken whatever they want. Look at Yin Jilun, in many cases
Among the Tubo tribe, they all secretly call him "King Yin", which shows his majesty.
Authority is on the one hand, and there are also visible benefits. The tea-horse trade has always been booming. Cattle and horses, furs, and cordyceps from the plateau are all high-value commodities. The minister stationed in Tubo is in this chain of interests.
Obviously there is a fixed share
But similarly, not everyone can do this position, and everyone is qualified to do it. At least in the central government, when the government was discussing candidates, there were many generals and bureaucrats who expressed rejection and did not go far away.
It's not that they have little experience, but that the place is actually an "unknown place". In less than ten years, two ministers died, and even the lucky people like Liu Xi, the noble prince of Jin, couldn't resist it. Then
As for the others, aren’t they going to die? Those garrison officers and soldiers who died of illness on the plateau are really
Therefore, the Jiannan side was within sight but not far away, while the central side was within reach but not far away. This situation made Liu Yang very angry. Of course, the final candidate was chosen. Kang Jiying, the commander of Chengdu troops and horses, because he was in Pingding
He performed outstandingly during the Shu Rebellion and was promoted. As the son of a general, he was a loyal and good man for three generations and had all the qualifications and abilities.
Although the results came out, Emperor Cheng was very dissatisfied. After all, those who could be proposed as ministers in Tubo were veterans and generals with certain qualifications and military exploits, but they all seemed to have lost their ambition.
Therefore, taking advantage of this incident, Liu Yang started to rectify the army, especially the Forbidden Army and senior generals.
Of course, Liu Yang's reorganization was relatively mild, and the dignity he deserved was still sufficient. However, a group of rising stars with outstanding performance were selected from various places, especially the border areas, to enrich the Forbidden Army, add fresh blood, and speed up the replacement of the army.
That’s all.
If we want to talk about the intensity of rectification, it is mainly focused on the dispute between sea and land. In recent years, the navy has undoubtedly become more and more powerful, richer and richer, and its status has been continuously improved. This has naturally attracted a large number of generals of the continental army.
They are opposed, suspicious and even suppressed.
Needless to say, inland, but in coastal areas, as long as there are areas and ports where the navy is stationed, there will be constant turmoil. How can I put it, the army is jealous of the interests that the navy can gain overseas, but if the navy is willing to do it, it is because they work hard
Earned.
Once a conflict of interests is involved, a lot of discord will inevitably arise. However, the final reconciliation of the conflict of interests must also focus on the interests themselves. Under the auspices of Liu Yang, it was natural that the Navy took a severe bite.
A part of the wealth earned overseas must be turned over, and this part's final destination is not the Financial Secretary, but is used as a "special fund" of the Privy Council for the Army.
Big man, in the final analysis, the army has the final say. But similarly, the army's generals have also been severely criticized, especially in the construction of military style and military discipline. Many generals have slacked off in training, which has delayed the generals.
He was even brought to trial.
In this dispute or change, although the navy has lost certain economic benefits, its political status has shown a clear upward trend. You must know that once upon a time, there was no dispute between land and sea. There was only the big brother of the army versus the navy.
The younger brother's bossy attitude has now reached the point where the emperor and the Privy Council need to arbitrate and mediate.
This kind of progress is a breakthrough. On the other hand, the Army has also begun to take the initiative to strengthen its overseas garrison (earn) troops (money).
Although for a long time, riots continued in various places and the Shu Rebellion occurred, the Han army still inevitably suffered from some common problems of the peaceful army. The specific manifestations focused on the upper levels of the army. If the upper levels were slack, the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level would be affected.
It is inevitable to be affected.
Although Liu Yang focused on the hard work of internal strength in governing the country, he did not dare to relax on the construction of the army. After all, under the influence of Shizu, he deeply understood the importance of the army to the stability of the country, and the Han Dynasty was so big that it would always need
To consolidate and maintain the army, everything can be messed up, but the army cannot be messed up. This is the basic bottom line.
When fresh faces appeared in the upper echelons of the Han army, the generals who had followed Shizu gradually withered away and disappeared into the Han army. Even if they were still alive and still retained a certain degree of influence, they were also in this kind of situation.
Amid the changes, the mark of Emperor Yongxi was stamped, and the influence that still remained of the ancestors began to be further covered and even clarified.
Of course, this point can never be eliminated, it is just a matter of more or less, because there will always be people who carry out political activities under the banner of Shizu, and this banner will never fall, unless future generations dare to risk the disapproval of the world,
Chapter completed!
