Chapter 108 Yangzhou Skinny Horse
"How to organize the military department specifically, I leave it to the British government to handle. I hope that the British government can give me a reasonable military department formation plan as soon as possible!"
As the emperor, Zhu Houzhao only had to control the general direction, and the specific details could be left to his subordinates.
If he had to do everything himself, why would these ministers do anything?
"I will never dare to disappoint His Majesty."
The British Duke Zhang Mao was in tears. He had witnessed the glory and demise of the military attache with his own eyes, and now he was about to pick up the collapsed dignity of the military attache with his own hands. How excited he was in his heart was something that ordinary people could not understand at all.
"I have high hopes for the British public, and I hope that the British public will not disappoint me."
"I hope that the new military headquarters will be filled with capable people with real talents and practical knowledge, rather than a bunch of trash like the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, which are mostly just fake."
It wasn't that Zhu Houzhao was worried about the British prince Zhang Mao, but that he knew the Xungui Group's behavior too well.
For a group of nobles, they don't care at all whether the core of the Ming Dynasty's military system is the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion or the Military Headquarters. In their eyes, changing it here and there is nothing more than changing places to make money.
Previously, Zhu Houzhao rebuilt the Three Thousand Camps and explicitly prohibited the nobles from entering for gilding. However, some nobles still dared to stuff people into the three camps. Hu Dakui managed to stop the greed of the nobles only after Hu Dakui killed them indiscriminately.
Yangzhou Shou Ma involves not only human trafficking and human plunder, but also the shady business of many wealthy businessmen. For future plans, he must ban Yangzhou Shou Ma!
A great man once said that if you want to disintegrate a nation, all you have to do is take away the backbone and blood of the men, and take away the shame and kindness of the women, and the country is not far away from destruction!
The men of the Ming Dynasty have never been short of sex. The emperor guards the country and the king dies in the country. This is not a lie!
And this was something Zhu Houzhao could never allow.
In this way, dignity is gone, so how can we talk about integrity and kindness?
"Why are the number of thin horses in Yangzhou increasing year by year? How many of the girls who are regarded as thin horses are bought and how many are snatched? Can you give me a specific explanation?"
"His Majesty."
Zhu Houzhao slapped the imperial case with his palm and roared: "You are too embarrassed to mention the thin horse in Yangzhou, so I'm here to help you!"
The sudden question caught all the officials off guard and they didn't understand why Zhu Houzhao suddenly mentioned Yangzhou's thin horse. This was not something the emperor should be concerned about.
"I know what to do. Anyone who dares to add sand to the military headquarters will be the first to let him go."
What's even more ridiculous is that most of the people who patronize Yangzhou's thin horse business are scholars, and they are known as: talented and romantic.
Everyone knows that Yangzhou's thin horse is extremely inhumane, but people still go there in an endless stream. This is a shame for the imperial court, and it is also a tragedy for scholars who do not study hard and only want to be romantic.
His majestic gaze swept across the officials, his murderous intent fully revealed, without any concealment.
Zhu Houzhao was furious and furious at the ministers: "I don't care who is running the Yangzhou Shouma, but from now on, anyone who secretly runs the Yangzhou Shouma will be punished with treason. The identity and background will be verified, the nine tribes will be punished, and the ancestral temple will be destroyed!"
"
Maybe some people are forced to become Yangzhou Slim Horses due to livelihood, but more people are forced to work in this industry. At least 70% of Yangzhou Slim Horses are bought and sold by human traffickers.
Zhu Houzhao smiled and then changed the topic: "Have you ever heard of Yangzhou Skinny Horse?"
British Duke Zhang Mao understood what Zhu Houzhao meant, and immediately assured him fiercely, with a sharp edge flashing in his cloudy eyes.
Yangzhou Slim Horse was a skill that everyone in the civil and military dynasties knew about. There were also many people who had personally tried it, but it was too dirty and no one wanted to mention it.
Why the world misses the Han and Tang dynasties is because during the Han and Tang dynasties, the people of China were the proudest and proudest. They swept across all directions, all nations came to visit, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
Even if the water is a little too cold, it’s still a good thing!
"I have peace of mind that the British Princess is in charge of establishing the military headquarters."
"Yangzhou Skinny Horse is so named because its body is thin and light, like a skinny horse. It treats people as beasts. People with this name are really worse than beasts and deserve death."
The military general finally got a chance to stand up again. If anyone dared to cause trouble, he would definitely chop him up with a knife and feed it to the dogs.
Jiangnan has been undergoing a large-scale purge, and the civil service group has been eliminated. He doesn't know how many of the remaining officials are involved in the Yangzhou Shouma business, but the necessary warnings are still indispensable.
In the past, he asked Gao Fengqing, who was in charge of Jiangnan, to suppress the forces behind the Yangzhou Slim Horse. However, just after the suppression, it wasn't long before the Slim Horse business on the Yangzhou Canal started to operate again, and the ban was repeated. At that time, he knew that he would get involved in the Yangzhou Slim Horse business.
There must be a lot of people.
Wang Yangming opened his mouth, but the words came to his lips, but he couldn't say them out.
Let’s look at the Ming Dynasty again. Let’s not mention anything else. The women of the Ming Dynasty were given the extremely insulting title of “skinny horse”. They were like animals. The people had no sense of national pride and national identity.
Because of his thin body, he is called "Skinny Horse"!
In the Lianghuai area, the number of Yangzhou thin horses is shocking. Zhu Houzhao once sent people to investigate and found that the number of Yangzhou thin horses exceeded 20,000 in the fifth year of Zhengde alone. It can be imagined that in Jiangnan, in Yangzhou, and in Liangzhou
Huai, how rampant is the so-called thin horse business in Yangzhou?
How absurd it is to discuss Yangzhou's thin horse with the emperor.
The Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army was reorganized into the Military Headquarters. Zhu Houzhao did not believe that all the nobles would hold back their hands. You must know that the person in charge of the military headquarters was the British prince from the first family of the nobles.
If a country wants to be prosperous and strong, all industries need to prosper, civil and military affairs need to be balanced, and the people's sense of identity with the country is also very important.
Among the many nobles, there are too few who have real talent and practical knowledge. Most of them are just wastes and trash. They have thrown all the bravery of their ancestors into the smelly ditch.
"Young girls from poor families are bought, trained from an early age, and then either sent to flower boat brothels or sold to high-ranking officials to make huge profits from them."
Shame on you!
Yangzhou Shou Ma was first organized by those Lianghuai salt merchants who had no royal laws. Later, the Jiangnan gentry and civil servant groups saw huge interests and also got involved. It can be said that the imperial officials were actually the culprits of the prevalence of Yangzhou Shou Ma.
His voice became colder and colder, and even from a distance, the ministers could clearly feel Zhu Houzhao's anger.
Snapped
What is Yangzhou Shou Ma? Young girls from poor families are bought, trained from an early age, taught singing and dancing, chess, calligraphy, painting and other entertaining skills, and then sold to dignitaries, wealthy businessmen, or sent to flower boats and brothels to provide to people.
Girl having fun.
The Yangzhou Slender Horse was a cancer of the Ming Dynasty and a hurdle that Zhu Houzhao had to overcome to unify the Ming Dynasty. The forces behind it must be eradicated one by one, and the Yangzhou Slender Horse must also disappear.
But for the women of the Ming Dynasty, you can tell what the situation is just by looking at the thin horse in Yangzhou.
"Yangzhou Skinny Horse treats people as animals, which is absolutely insane and inhumane. I support Your Majesty in banning Yangzhou Skinny Horse. This kind of unscrupulous thing should not exist in the world."
"I second my opinion, the thin horse in Yangzhou goes against human ethics. If it is not banned, it will be unforgivable and the imperial court will also betray the people of the world."
The British Duke Zhang Mao and the Chief Minister of the Cabinet Wang Yangming successively expressed their support for Zhu Houzhao's decision. Yangzhou thin horses are of no benefit to the country and harmful to the people, so they must be banned!
Finally caught up!
