Chapter 285 Don't even give face to money (1)
Xu Huizu looked at Xin Yande and said word by word, "Mr. Xin, you are the top scholar and the best among scholars in the world. You will connect the matters of the emperor's derogation of the vassal kings, withdrawing military power and reorganizing military garrisons!"
Speaking of this, Xu Huizu paused, "Didn't you see the emperor's good intentions to simplify the military and streamline the administration?"
Immediately, Xu Huizu felt a little sad again, "You are a civil servant, and it is understandable that you can't see it." Speaking of this, he looked at Zhu Yunxi again, "Your Majesty, can you say it?"
Zhu Yunxiu sat on the Arhat bed and waved his hand slightly.
In Xin Yande's puzzled eyes, Xu Huizu spoke again, "The Ming Dynasty seems to be a strong general, but in fact it has begun to show signs of corruption. The arrogance and luxury of the lions in the hundreds of battles is still there, but the soldiers are of varying quality. If they are not rectified, they may not be able to fight in another twenty years!"
"I'll say it again. Only the old and weak people who were abolished in the border army are hundreds of thousands of people. Those people are soldiers when they pick up knives! They are used to eating white flour buns, can they touch their hoes with peace of mind? They have to raise them, and their descendants are endless. If they don't raise them, they will take swords! They are soldiers, not obedient people who can eat with food!"
"It's better to find a place for them now! Let them kill others!"
Xin Yande's pupils suddenly condensed and he stood there on the spot.
Xu Huizu's words are correct. The reason why Zhu Di led the Northern Army to defeat the Southern Army of the Jianwen court again and again in history was not that the generals were incompetent and exhausted the three armies. It was that most of the Southern Army were too comfortable and lost the ruthless spirit of the founding lion of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Di was able to expedition outside the border five times after the Jingnan Dynasty because the Jingnan he launched was equivalent to a complete reshuffle of the military system, garrison, generals and others left behind during Hongwu.
"The Duke of Wei still leaves room for what he said!"
In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yunyu spoke lightly, his voice seemed to be small, but it kept lingering in Xin Yande's ears.
"This time, Duke Cao Li Jinglong went north to inspect the local garrisons along Huaibei. The memorials he reported to me were shocking!" Zhu Yunxi sighed, "Many garrisons are simply broken. The military officers who should lead troops to fight became landlords. The tiger bench who should wait for the battle became tenants and chief workers!"
"If this unhealthy trend is not cured, it will be an incurable disease of the Ming Dynasty!"
As he said that, Zhu Yunxi sighed, "You see the suffering of the people, but I sit on the dragon throne, but what I see is the decline of the Ming Dynasty the next day!"
"Others think that what the old man left me with a beautiful country and country." Zhu Yunfeng smiled bitterly, "But who can see how many crises are hidden after this beautiful world?"
"The emperor said back then that I would not waste a grain of rice for the people when I raise soldiers. But the fact is that a large amount of land is in the hands of the garrison, and the military generals of the garrison were hereditary. The military farms that were originally raised by soldiers were almost turned into private land for military generals. Moreover, the court also had to throw in a large amount of money and grain every year! It feeds countless cystic vampires!"
"Last year, I changed all the commands of the generals in the Ming Dynasty, and this year I abolished the Ming vassals. The purpose is to directly strangle these future stubborn diseases to death in the bud!"
"Separating the military and political affairs of the border areas and redistributing the fields will not only retain warable troops for the country, but also increase revenue and reduce expenditure for the country."
"I am even more treacherous when I do such a reform. Because I know that the so-called reform must have caused some people to harm themselves because of my reform. There are not one or two such people, but countless!"
"Do you think I don't have the people in my heart? I can't see what you said? What I see is not only the people, but also the entire Ming Dynasty and the future of the Ming Dynasty!"
"I know that if I do nothing, I just need to be an emperor who is not too stupid. The Ming Dynasty will definitely achieve its full rule in another twenty-three years!"
"Is it really prosperous? The so-called prosperous times from ancient times to the present are the prosperity brought about by the people's determination after the chaos in the world and the population breeding, right? But what about after this prosperity? The prosperity will decline!"
"Now if these messes in the Ming Dynasty are not dealt with, the army will be broken and the administration will be broken. After the population grows, a large amount of land is in the hands of the vassal kings. Where will the people go to farm?"
"Then, the Ming Dynasty, which was bright and bright, will follow the old path of history! From founding a country to prosperity, from prosperity to illness, and then waiting to die!"
As he said that, Zhu Yunxi sighed, sighing heavily.
"I have to look at the plan for a hundred years! I know that sometimes I am more anxious, hurried, and even crueler. But you don't know, you don't know... a change that has not happened in three thousand years..."
As he said that, Zhu Yunxiu sighed again and looked at Xin Yande with a bitter smile, "The ancients said that fighting will bring death, but forgetting to fight will bring death! I have repeatedly used troops to the surrounding small countries, and I want those territory that is useless in your eyes, just to leave more retreats for our Ming Dynasty!"
"I..." As he said that, Zhu Yunyu slowly took off his gauze crown, "I am not a wise and powerful lord, nor is it a saint who has not been born for five hundred years. I can only do more things. If I do more, my future generations will be more relaxed!"
He came to this world not just to be an emperor.
He knew that the upcoming world waves will be in the upcoming world, the fall of Xia land will be in the next hundreds of years.
But as a time traveler, you cannot be invincible by knowing the future.
He was also confused, nervous, and frightened, and even tossed and turned every night.
He was helpless, lost, and even felt a little helpless.
But he cannot even dare not forget his mission!
Maybe he may not be right, but if he does nothing, he must be wrong!
"Simplify the government!" Zhu Yunxiu continued to whisper, "Do these four words first, so that other things can be more successful with half the effort. I am not afraid to tell you that this is just the beginning. When these things are finished, I will make drastic moves and correct all the things you think are rightful in the past!"
"Reform will offend people, and a large number of vested interests will hate me, and I am not afraid. Reform will not only touch the interests, but will even affect countless innocent ordinary people. I am afraid!"
"So, what I can do is to minimize and transfer these contradictions like moving the vassal states! Maybe in my generation, others think that I am a military man. But what I think is that in a few decades, the descendants of Zhongxia will be everywhere in the universe, and the place where there is sun and moon is the Ming Dynasty."
"I am...exploring a living space for our Ming people in a hundred years! Do you understand?"
Suddenly, a gust of wind rushes in.
The lights in the hall jumped violently, illuminating half of Zhu Yun's face.
"Look!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and picked up his temples, "Xin Aiqing, look at my temples, there are a lot of white hair!"
"Emperor...Emperor!" Xin Yande kowtowed heavily and cried loudly.
"Don't cry! You are right. As a censor, you are very competent and what you say makes sense!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "It's just that sometimes what you see is different from what I see!" He said, sighing, "I am not a saint, and it is impossible not to make mistakes. What the Ming Dynasty needs is someone like you who dares to advise you!"
"Your Majesty!" Xin Yande cried, "You do this to leave a bad reputation!"
Yes, infamous!
He repeatedly used troops to foreign countries and was the king of the Guizhou military.
The internal reforms have revolutionized those privileged classes and angered vested interests, which are tyrants.
A monarch who is both violent and mean is afraid that his reputation is even more powerful than that of the old man!
