Ming dynasty grand dude

Strictly, seriously, and quickly!

The lowest ten years, the highest 20 years, from the stripping of fame and official status to not being able to enter the itch within three generations, all of them were sentenced to hard labor.

The family property confiscated by the Ministry of Punishment comforted the Minister of the Ministry of Housing, Zhong Zhong, who must have been crazy with joy on weekdays.

These servants and speech officials are only family properties in the capital, and they have copied more than [-] million yuan in silver and more than [-] yuan in gold.

Other treasures such as corals, pearls, tortoise shells, jade carvings, antiques, etc. are piled up like mountains and countless.

However, right now, Zhong Zhong only felt a little comforted, but he couldn't feel happy at all.

This damn catastrophe that may perish at any time, like how can a sword in the throat make people happy? !

Needless to say, the three major scholars, after returning, they were silent in the study room and sighed from time to time.

The old wives and children at home asked each other, but they didn't answer.

Since Emperor Hongzhi summoned the old Duke that day, he naturally wanted to summon several other ministers, ministers and three great scholars.

Everyone sat together moaning and sighing for a long time, and they could only seek advice from idiots who knew a lot about this matter.

Don't feel that these courtiers and court elders are stupid. People are always terrified when they just get a glimpse of the unknown.

When the natives of Java saw the fleet of Sanbao eunuchs for the first time, they even thought it was the power of the gods descending from the earth.

The matchlock performed by Chi Huer pierced Daming's armor, and the rapid-fire artillery pierced the city wall, which really shocked them too much.

In the face of this epoch-making cutting-edge weapon, all their confidence is very insufficient, which stems from the unknown of the enemy.

And they are not people who have been in the army all year round. Like Zhang Laogong, they went back and checked Java, Yizhou and Daming's surroundings first.

Soon the old man was sure that if the opponent wanted to invade Daming, he would have to occupy Java and then plot Yizhou.

Based on these two places, it is possible for the army to accumulate supplies to launch an attack on Ming Dynasty.

After all, this is thousands of miles away, even if they go back and forth fast, it will take several months.

Before and after, there are conquests and pacifications, as well as preparations for accumulating supplies and organizing troops.

When they have enough strength to attack Daming, it will probably be at least a few years later.

Then look at how my grandson put the money in Yizhou, and built an actual naval commander for His Majesty.

Then everything grandson's plan is clearly revealed, and he has already calculated the time period when the other party may launch an attack.

Depending on Daming's national strength during the period before the opponent's mobilization, it may not be impossible to catch up with the opponent's progress in manufacturing and armaments if it is fully mobilized.

Combined with Sun'er's attacks on the officials several times, he matched the interests of various ministries, and expanded His Majesty's control over the army.

The meaning of this is obvious. What he wants to do is to knead all the ministries to fully support the expansion of arms and strive to reach a level that can resist invasion within a few years.

The Yanguan system was originally a check and balance of power in the empire during the Taizu period, but it has developed into a cancerous state today.

In order to make a name for themselves, they have to impeach and criticize almost everything, and they even form cliques and confederate Gongsheng students to cause harm together.

This forced the relevant national policies formulated by the six cabinets to be almost impossible to implement.

Before the implementation, I had to wrestle with them in various contests, and I was out of breath before finally launching the part.

The most notable example is the restoration of Zhang Qiuhe reported by Bai Ang after the flood control.

For this matter, the officials were like mad dogs, and almost scolded Bai Ang's ancestors for eight generations.

What are "vain waste of state money", "waste of money", "alarmist talk"...

They even questioned that Bai Ang wanted to "borrow the public to enrich himself" and "take advantage of the situation to claim power"...even the national thieves were scolded by officials.

What happens after this group of speech officials "big bricks" finish their scolding? !

Two years later, that is, in July of the fifth year of Hongzhi, at the bank of the Zhang Qiu River where Bai Ang once stopped to think hard, there was a loud bang!

The catastrophe that Bai Ang was most worried about broke out. The torrential Yellow River ravaged the Jianghuai land, and the southeast Shandong and northern Jiangsu areas became a swamp country...

The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which runs through the north and the south, was even broken, which made the national treasury on the verge of depletion, and the whole capital was almost in danger!

For Daming, this matter is tantamount to cutting his throat with a knife!

Bai Ang took the order again when he was in danger, but this time Liu Daxia, who was extremely opposed to the matter at the time, finally realized his mistake.

So he accompanied Bai Ang to carry the pot, and he was tired of vomiting blood on the embankment before he could settle the matter.

But what about the other speakers? !But there is no historical record that they have any guilt for this, they still sit in the high hall and boss around with feather fans.

"Chihuer, what regulations do the six cabinet ministries have here today? You can say..."

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't eat or sleep well these few days. When he closed his eyes, it would be a catastrophe for the extermination of the family!

The problems reported by Dongchang and Jinyiwei were shocking, and the assets confiscated by Bai Ang of the Ministry of Punishment made Emperor Hongzhi even more angry.

One by one, one by one, Emperor Hongzhi clearly felt that the empire was probably nothing more than burning oil and blooming flowers.

Seemingly prosperous and bright, it is actually full of crises, and it may be completely subverted overnight.

"This matter is difficult to say, and easy to say."

Mr. Zhang curled his lips, these old guys all have seats, so why don't I have one?

It's like interrogating a prisoner, throwing me in the middle of them and being surrounded by them to answer.

"It's nothing more than building ordnance and training a new army!" Grandpa Zhang waved his hand and said, "Neither of these two can be held in the hands of others! Only Your Majesty can hold them!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the civil servants were extremely complicated, which was equivalent to seizing the power of the Ministry of War and gradually replacing the position of the Ministry of War.

If the warriors get His Majesty's support, I'm afraid the civil servants in the court will be further deprived of their right to speak? !

The most important thing is, once the royal family has completely mastered the military power, what can the civil servants have to fight against it? !

Didn't you see that when Chengzu became a ancestor, martial arts were strong, and the civil service system was almost overwhelmed? !

"Are you going to seize the power of the old man's military department and make military honors in the court?!"

Ma Wensheng narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Mr. Zhang and said in a deep voice.

Young Master Zhang looked at Ma Wensheng coldly, and chuckled, "For the time being, the military department is still there, and it will definitely be withdrawn in the future."

"Otherwise, why keep a military department that can't defend against Tatars on the nine borders, Japanese pirates on the coast, and even more difficult to defend against Europeans?!"

"It's because the treasury of the Ministry of Households has too much money and food, are you planning to raise a group of idiots who are useless in the country?!"

These words were like a sap, and Ma Wensheng almost couldn't catch his breath when he hit it with a stick.

It is said that this idiot scolds people fiercely, and today Ma Wensheng has seen it for himself...

Chapter 2 Set up the construction bureau first, then build the military academy

"Crazy Huer, tell me your regulations quickly!" Emperor Hongzhi also felt that the Ministry of War was really a bunch of bastards who didn't need to exist.

You think that Emperor Hongzhi wants to ignore the Nine Borders, and you don’t know the suffering of the people on the Nine Borders being harassed? !

Wasn't it because the people in the Ministry of War said that it was not suitable to go to war and that it was impossible to fight, and in the end they said that it was a little harassment and harmless to the country.

Let them scatter after looting.

This is really because after Wang Yue was so angry that he suspended animation, there were not many generals who could fight in the whole country.

Besides, those dogs in the Ministry of War really have nothing to do with it, otherwise, how could Emperor Hongzhi swallow this bad breath? !

In the past, Emperor Hongzhi didn't recruit. After all, Lao Zhang could fight but he was over 60.

Moreover, he had to be placed in the capital to protect himself, and he would definitely not be able to use Lao Zhang's trump card until the critical moment.

"First, set up the Royal Ordnance Construction Bureau of the Ming Empire! His Majesty will directly control it, and the crown prince will take care of it."

Grandpa Zhang stretched out a finger, and said softly, "Order all the artisans in the guards of Daming to be relocated to the capital at the expense of the internal treasury and merged into the Construction Bureau!"

"The artisans of forging, building, and repairing in the Ministry of Industry and Engineering are all incorporated!"

"From then on, all the supplies of the Construction Bureau will be provided by the Royal Internal Treasury, and the Six Departments must not interfere or ask questions!"

Emperor Hongzhi stared wide-eyed, thinking what the hell!How can my little money be enough to make such a fuss!

But on second thought, Chi Hu'er is a master of planning!This calculus ability even far surpasses his poetry!

This kid sells a few story books, and he gets 10,000+ taels of silver in his account.

And the "Imperial Times" can be said to be making money every day, it is really a born little god of wealth!

Since he did this method, it must be profitable!

There is no need to beat the drum heavily, and there is not a single important official in this country who is not sober.

Qilin'er's move is to do the best of the whole country and give priority to building those weapons to protect the empire from foreign aggression.

You can tell from the name as soon as you hear it. In the future, the Construction Bureau will belong to the royal property.

The Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War... and even the cabinet have no right to intervene or interfere.

But since there is no need for the Ministry of Households to pay for it, it is only natural that all of them are paid for by His Majesty's internal treasury.

It's just that the important ministers of the country, who had everything in their hands, were a bit out of touch with this.

"Good!" Emperor Hongzhi agreed directly without waiting for the courtiers' response.

Well, His Majesty is willing to bear these expenses with the internal treasury, so what if you don't want the money from the household department? !

"The ministers have no objection."

Seeing that they had no objections, Young Master Zhang raised his finger and said the second item, "Establish the Emperor's Department! Your Majesty is the commander-in-chief of the military department!"

"It governs the Army and Navy of the newly-built Royal Defense Force of the Ming Empire. All officers at the rank of generals and lieutenants must be appointed and dismissed by His Majesty himself!"

All the officials let out a sigh of relief, and all looked at Ma Wensheng.

This is exactly as Ma Wensheng himself said, directly depriving the Ministry of War of all powers!

"Excessive military power is not good for the court! It is even more fearful that the tail will not be lost, and it will directly cause national disaster!"

Ma Wensheng knew that it was useless for him to directly oppose in the name of the Ministry of War.

It is true that the current performance of the Ministry of War is terrible, so he questioned it from other levels.

"The commander-in-chief of the military department, all appointments and dismissals belong to His Majesty, and one chief and two deputy chiefs are in charge of daily affairs. Except for cabinet meetings, he does not participate in court affairs."

Ma Wensheng stared at Young Master Zhang, and said coldly, "How to confirm that he is loyal to His Majesty and will not cause harm?!"

"That's a very good question!" Zhang Xiaogong smiled and narrowed his pair of red phoenix and peach blossoms, as if praising the child for teaching.

He was so angry with Ma Wensheng that he almost lost his breath!

Hmm... This quick-acting heart-rescuing pill needs to be developed quickly!Otherwise, a large number of courtiers would often die in the court, which would be a sin...

"First of all, the 'Daming Empire Royal Military Academy' needs to be established, and His Majesty will personally serve as the dean! All generals and lieutenants must go to the school for examination."

However, Grandpa Zhang paused, and said with a smile, "The shortest is one year, and the longest is three years. His Majesty will give you a military post after you finish your studies!"

"That means you need to be taught?!" Ma Wensheng's eyes lit up, but Mr. Zhang laughed.

Civil servants are so fucking virtuous, they want to meddle in everything, want to completely control everything, and seep sand.

Unfortunately, every time they intervene, the results are not good, and the place is even dilapidated.

"Your Majesty will select the Ouchi guards and old soldiers of my Zhang family for the training session, and then I will personally train them. No outsiders are needed."

Ma Wensheng couldn't help but hesitate when he heard the words, obviously he didn't intend to let Wen Chen get involved.

"Compulsory subjects are mainly the Legend of Loyalty and Martyrs of the Great Ming Dynasty, and the deeds of the loyal soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty needs to go to give lectures as the dean every ten days to strengthen the heart of loyalty..."

"You can also choose Artillery, Cavalry, Battle Formation, Naval Warfare, etc. as special study subjects, and will be appointed or dismissed by His Majesty after passing the assessment and graduation."

Hearing these words, Ma Wensheng knew that the military power was to be completely removed from the civil servants, and he couldn't help but panic when he thought that the military power would fall back to the royal family.

If he directly controlled the military power like Chengzu, then what else would civil servants use to check and balance the royal family? !

Although the civil servant group suffered heavy losses in the Civil Fort incident, it also caused heavy losses to the nobles. The most important thing is that the royal family has been extremely cautious about military power since then.

This allowed the civilian group to take advantage of the loopholes and gradually grasp the control of the army's appointment and dismissal.

For this reason, they even did not hesitate to suppress the possibility of generals and the resurgence of military power, and rejected and attacked Wang Yue and his group.

If Young Master Zhang followed suit, all the hard work of the entire civil servant group over the years would have been in vain.
