Chapter 359: Zhu Wenkui's prudence
When the sky was bright, the military heroes of the Five Military Palace, led by Li Jinglong, began to gather outside the Meridian Gate and put in a notebook to enter the Da Nei waiting for the summoning.
Duke Cao Xu Huizu has not arrived. He is busy conducting military and garrison offices across the country to conduct research.
Zhu Yunwen assigned a task to Xu Huizu, to remove the drought and preserve the essence, to reorganize the local military guard stations, count the total number of these military households, and to form a new local military guard, to be responsible for the local protection of the territory and the people, and to fight against organized crime and evil, and to no longer bear the farming task.
Just like the border army of the Ming Dynasty, it is a serious recruiting and professional soldier.
Don’t fight, and when you have no tasks, you will be trained and prepared for the war.
And he is no longer a waste of worker. Xu Huizu counted an integer and could talk to Zhu Yunwen about the salary of this new army.
As for the unified nationality that was eliminated, the original military land of the state was converted into civilian land, and the population was divided equally according to the population.
Enjoy the same tax policies as civilian fields, and no longer keep the rations as before, and all the rest is handed over to the treasury.
The establishment of military households across the country and the establishment of the garrison in the Hongwu period was considered to be the establishment of the Hongwu ancestor system. It was also established for the long-term foundation of the Ming Dynasty, but it was ultimately a system that was destined to be eliminated. Military households were passed down from generation to generation. After three or four generations, not only did the combat power disappear, but even the most basic farming and grain delivery task was not satisfactory.
According to statistics from the Hongwu year, the national garrisons could pay more than 13 million stones of grain, but in the Zhengtong period, they only paid more than 4 million.
The short sellers are too big and have been completely divided up by the local government.
Instead of letting this system be corrupt and vanished, Zhu Yunwen would just cut it off for him now. Reform is nothing more than spending money. If the country is not short of money, there is no need to be afraid of things.
Even if the reform is not completely one-size-fits-all. Zhu Yunwen set a tone. The military and garrison stations in Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangxi and Liaodong still implemented a system of garrison stations that are in harmony with the local governments to deepen and consolidate the link between the center and the local governments.
Xu Huizu was not in Beijing, and the leader of the military honors of the Five Military Offices was naturally Li Jinglong, a "Ming Dynasty God of War". Although this second generation has a very low presence in the Ming Dynasty military over the years, the gold sign on the head of the Duke on his head is not fake.
The Ming Dynasty was a practice that those who were not clans would not be granted titles.
The value of the Duke of the State is no worse than the princes from the clan mansion.
"Duke Cao, your Majesty is not comfortable today, so it is not convenient to summon all the ministers."
The large army who was seeking a meeting hit the wall at the Meridian Gate, and a small eunuch blocked the big guy with an oral order.
"Your Majesty said, if you have any matters to the ministers, just submit the memorial."
In this way, piles of memorials impeached a group of generals in the southwest were sent into the warm-up hall, which made Zhu Yunwen's eyes blew.
Of course, he was not angry at the Southwest System that had many unruly barbarians. He was led by the Ma Dajun. The former backbone of the mountain army is now the important generals in the Yunnan Dusi. He knew the style of this group of people, as an emperor. Zhu Yunwen was angry with the second generation of the Five Army Mansions.
They were walking around in Nanjing all day long, and they didn't necessarily learn any tricks in military strategy. However, this civil servant group learned about the news and learned the skills of impeachment and attack.
"I have always thought about introducing a clause on the rectification of the military's work style, which can take advantage of the impeachment of the ministers of the Five Military Offices this time and follow the flow."
After evading the honorary minister, Zhu Yunwen immediately waited for another person who asked for a visit:
King of Yan Zhu Di.
"It seems that I, the fourth uncle, really felt pity for cherishing talents and sympathy. For the sake of Ma Dajun, he spared no effort to come to me to plead with me."
"Does this King of Yan do this to win over the hearts of the people in exchange for the gratitude of the Ma Dajun?"
“Quality on the contrary.”
Zhu Yunwen laughed.
Zhu Di's reaction was within Zhu Yunwen's expectations.
"In this matter, my purpose is to see if the Fourth Uncle can now put himself in the right position, whether he regards himself as the chief of staff of the Ming Dynasty, or the King of Yan of the Ming Dynasty who still has the opportunity but replaces it.
The former is a minister who is dedicated to the country and cedes-for-monarchy, and for the sake of the public, he will exonerate the Ma army and plead for personal gain. Then he will protect himself and even put down the wrong person.
The so-called evil of the superiors is the inferiors hate it.
The gesture I made was so annoying to Ma Dajun that I hated him. The Fourth Uncle was able to plead at this critical moment, at the risk of being suspicious of me, which shows that he was not an ambitious person when he was considering the problem, and he would not act as a low-key person. He was fearless."
The matter of Ma Dajun hanging on the ground was not resolved, and Zhu Yunwen was waiting for the reaction of Zhu Di and the Five Army Mansions.
His purpose was achieved.
"Tell me and I won't see him."
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand: "I have to wait for someone else."
After waiting for the honorary ministers and Zhu Di, there was another man named Zhu Yunwen who had not waited.
That is his eldest son: Zhu Wenkui!
It’s a thirteen-year-old child, and it’s time to be sensible. Zhu Yunwen also hopes that his son can be sensible.
Zhu Yunwen was waiting for Zhu Wenkui, and Zhu Wenkui was also facing this choice at this time.
In the Lakeside School, Yu Qian had already found the latter to talk about this during his spare time.
"The Marquis of Dingnan issued an imperial edict and it was reported that it was because he had always had many usurper behaviors. However, this matter was groundless. Your Highness should quickly seek His Majesty's mercy and let him go and make a fuss. Xu Dingnan's mercy made a meritorious service."
"I don't want to do it."
In the Qianqing Palace, in front of Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Wenkui was a cautious child, but in this lakeside school, the little guy stood with his hands behind his back and had a little demeanor.
Residents and moves energy, nourishes and moves the body. Although the body is small, you can still see a few traces of dignity at a glance.
"But the Ma army is the leader of the military generals in the southwest. If you only hear the news, I can see it in real life.
It's a foregone conclusion that this time there will be a dead end.
If this palace disobeys his father at this time, and asks for mercy for this traitor, even if he can forgive us, then wouldn’t this palace become an unfaithful and unfilial person?”
Thirteen-year-old Zhu Wenkui and eleven-year-old Yu Qian, two and a half-old boys argued over the issue of asking for mercy.
"Your Highness is the eldest son, and now he has been approved by His Majesty. You can sit in Gong Wenhua and listen to the national affairs.
In the future, the position of the Eastern Palace will be His Highness. I hope that His Highness will ask His Highness to plead with the state affairs."
Yu Qian's words were not enough to impress Zhu Wenkui, who flatly refused.
"Even the cabinet has no right to interfere in the military system. This is the taboo of the father. Yu Qian, although you are smart, you don't understand political matters.
Why do military power and monarch power be the same? It is because whoever holds a strong army is the monarch?
Now that I am getting older, I cannot speak rashly about things that shouldn’t have been said. If my father really forgives Ma Dajun, the Southwest Corporation will be grateful to me. What’s wrong?”
Yu Qian said this without saying anything.
The holy heart is hard to predict, and it is hard to look back at Zhu Wenkui's young age.
But Yu Qian still felt that he wanted to fight for it.
"Ma Dajun has just made great contributions. If he kills him at this critical moment, he will cause the morale of the Southwest Army and will not benefit the country. Your Highness thinks twice."
"Enough!"
Zhu Wenkui was very angry, but he didn't know whether it was Yu Qian or himself who was angry.
"What is the right of this palace to interfere with the resolution of the father's emperor? His contributions are far away from the Han and Tang dynasties and are threatening the world.
It’s up to you to deal with it. Let’s take a look at it.”
After saying that, he headed straight to the school without looking back.
