Chapter 180: Abandoned factory guards cut themselves off
Dongchang is famous for its ruthlessness and is probably the largest secret service agency in history.
Whether you know the history of the Ming Dynasty or not, the word "Dongchang" is really a thunder in your ears, or it may be known to everyone in the streets.
Thanks to the portrayal of Eunuch Cao and the four stalls in "New Dragon Gate Inn", Shi Dayong instinctively panicked at Dongchang's sudden visit, subconsciously thinking that he had killed Wu Xiang without permission, and that Zu Dashou's story had been leaked. Dongchang fanzi
Come and get yourself.
However, Cao Bianjiao, Jiang Wanli and others on the side did not look scared at all. Instead, they all showed disdain on their faces. Cao Bianjiao was so arrogant that he took the driver's sticker from Dongchang and threw it away without even looking at it.
When he got to the table, he shouted loudly: "You people from Dongchang don't stay in Beijing, why do you come all the way to Tongzhou? Aren't you afraid of being punished?" (Author's note: Driving sticker, that is, arrest warrant, also known as arrest warrant)
For business cards.)
Is Xiao Cao crazy?[
Cao Bianjiao's arrogance frightened Shi Dayong to goosebumps all over his body. He secretly thought that Cao really didn't know what he was doing. How could he offend people from Dongchang casually? What's more, people from Dongchang were spread all over the country. Even North Korea and Jiaozhi had people from Dongchang.
Institutions, how can they go out of the capital to bear the crime? Xiao Cao talks to the people in Dongchang like this, it's too much... Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. They Dongchang are the closest people to the emperor, if they offend them, he will
Can I have good fruit to eat?
The King of Hell is easy to meet, but Dongchang is difficult to endure.
Shi Dayong's scalp went numb when he thought about the consequences of offending Dongchang. He opened his mouth and wanted to apologize to the visitor with a smile. Unexpectedly, the three Dongchang visitors didn't look angry at all, but were shameless.
When he laughed and laughed there, there was no hint of majesty or majesty in him.
Has the sun come out in the west? When did Dongchang become so talkative? Shi Dayong was puzzled and felt that this was strange.
The leader, Dongchang Fanzi, is a middle-aged man with a very ordinary appearance. He is the type that no one will remember immediately when he is among the crowd. There is even a bit of shame in his eyes, as if he has done something.
The child who made mistakes. Regarding Cao Bianjiao's courtesy, he and the two people behind him directly ignored it and did not answer. They only wanted to find the rightful owner, so they asked very politely: "Who is General Shi?" He was extremely polite.
It's a bit excessive. To describe it as groveling is the most appropriate way to describe it.
It was getting late, so we rested in Tongzhou tonight and would not go to Beijing until tomorrow. So Shi Dayong and his subordinates all changed into casual clothes. They were going to find a restaurant to eat and drink, so the people in Dongchang couldn't tell which one was which by their clothes.
It's Jinzhou General Shi Dayong. There are all the warriors in front of him. Although I think the man wearing the copper mask is probably Shi Dayong, I'm not sure. I can only ask first to avoid mistaking the wrong person and mistaking Eunuch Cao.
major events.
"I am Shi Dayong, may I ask why you are here?"
Shi Dayong didn't dare to be as presumptuous as Cao Bianjiao, so he carefully addressed the opponent, and his words and deeds were very respectful. All the subordinates on the side saw it, but they didn't take it seriously. Even the three Dongchang fans were shocked when they saw it.
, as if flattered.
"I don't dare to accept it, I don't dare to accept it." The leader hurriedly returned the greeting, almost falling to the ground. Then he raised his head and glanced at the driving sticker on the table with some embarrassment, but hesitated to speak.
Shi Dayong understood and hurriedly picked up the driver's sticker and opened it. He was shocked to find that the unattractive middle-aged man in front of him turned out to be Jia Hong, the prisoner of the Thousand Households in Dongchang.
………
The full name of Dongchang is Dongjishichang. In addition to the admiral eunuchs commonly known as "changgong" and "supervisor", they are responsible for the punishment and punishment of thousands of households. In other words, this Jia Hong is the third-in-command of Dongchang.
.
The third in command of the dignified Dongchang actually condescended to come to see him, a young general, and was so respectful, dignified, and even flattering. This made Shi Dayong stunned for dozens of seconds. Monk Zhang Er touched him.
Mindless.
I can’t figure it out, I can’t figure it out at all, this is completely wrong!
Could it be that all the records about Dongchang in later generations are nonsense, and the legends about those father-in-laws are just the opinions of later generations? Could it be that the tyranny and tyranny of Dongchang are all frame-ups and sewage! Otherwise, why would I see it?
Such a groveling third-in-command of Dongchang?!
Shi Dayong did not think that Jia Hong and others respected him because he was the hero of Jinzhou's victory, because he knew that Dongchang was a spy agency that even the chief minister did not pay attention to, and there was no need to punish thousands of households.
Any fan would dare to walk sideways in the lobby of Liubu.
Everything that happened in front of him was completely different from what he knew. It was far beyond Shi Dayong's cognitive scope and beyond his ability to understand with his own consciousness alone.
However, Cao Bianjiao, Jiang Wanli, and Shao Wu all understood better than the other. They did not pay attention to Jia Hong, the manager of Dongchang who tortured thousands of households, because they knew that the Dongchang now is not the Dongchang it used to be!
The only reason for the respect of Jia Hong and the others is that they no longer have the power they once had in their hands. The building of the factory guard collapsed four years ago![
………
In the time and space of Shi Dayong's previous life, when it came to the Ming Dynasty, almost everyone was scolding the factory guards. It can be said that in the Ming generation, the factory guards were the most feared and criticized, so many people wanted the Ming Dynasty to be destroyed.
The reason was attributed to the spy rule and factory guards. However, in fact, this was not the case at all.
The reason why the factory guards have been infamy for eternity is that the Manchus in the Qing Dynasty slandered the factory guards in order to achieve their ulterior motives!
What do Jinyiwei and Dongchang do?
In later generations, everyone is following the Manchu thinking and scolding Jinyiwei and Dongchang for being bad, but they don’t even understand the essence of Jinyiwei and Dongchang!
The Jinyiwei is an organization that monitors all officials, spy on their movements for the emperor, and investigates whether all officials have corruption or rebellion. Of course, it is also an organization that protects the emperor. It is equivalent to the National Security Bureau and the Anti-Corruption Bureau in later generations.
Is such an institution good or bad? Self-evident.
For officials, the existence of Jin Yiwei is really bad, and it is best not to have them. But for the people and the country, the existence of Jin Yiwei is too important and a good thing. As the saying goes, if the country is safe, the people will be blessed.
In fact, the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty never carried out a suppressive mission against the common people. Their mission was to target officials.
The establishment of Dongchang can be said to be the most distinctive and most practical innovation of the Ming Dynasty.
In order to prevent the Jinyiwei from being corrupted by the courtiers, Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty established the Dongchang. The supervision objects of the Dongchang were not only the officials but also the Jinyiwei.
However, Dongchang does not have the power to enforce the law, so the Jin Yiwei are often required to cooperate during actions. Therefore, the world has always linked the two together, and they are collectively referred to as "factory guards."
It can be said that the existence of factory guards suppresses the official group. Their existence has shaken the official group to a great extent and ensures the interests of the people. It is no exaggeration to say that the factory guards are actually the pillars of the country and the people.
One of the things to rely on!
The survival of a dynasty lies in its economic and political foundations. The people of the Ming Dynasty were very wealthy, as many Western missionary records can prove. But why did the people's wealth turn into the Ming Dynasty's financial bankruptcy, and the people's wealth turned into the country's poverty? This is
There is something wrong with the political foundation.
The most important thing in politics is the balance of power, and at the same time, there must be a supervision and feedback mechanism in place. These two points are the basic elements of scientific management.
However, during the Chongzhen period, there was a complete imbalance in these two points. Ministers could kill generals without permission, but the emperor could not get the truth, and the emperor's orders were often not carried out. The specific facts can be seen from the fact that Yuan Chonghuan was good at killing Mao Wenlong, and Chongzhen discussed it with a certain chief minister.
: "You are not willing to do what I want to do, and I think what you want to do is inappropriate."
Including the posthumous edict: "Hundred officials misunderstood me."
This clearly shows that the two major elements of the Chongzhen Dynasty's management, balance and supervision, completely collapsed. After Li Zicheng entered the capital, the contributions of the officials of the Chongzhen Dynasty can be seen. These officials accumulated a large amount of money through corruption! This wealth was that they had absolutely no
What was accumulated without supervision was accumulated greedily at the expense of the central government and forcing the people to rebel!
Chongzhen was very frugal, but why did officials engage in so much corruption? The reason is simple - power without supervision is bound to be corrupt.
The world belongs to Chongzhen, and of course Chongzhen would not corrupt his own family, but officials are different!
There is no emperor or country in their eyes, they only have themselves in their eyes.[
If the power of factory guards still existed, would these officials dare to engage in such reckless corruption?
The answer, I'm afraid everyone knows.
During the two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, factory guards faithfully performed their duties and ensured the smooth operation of the Ming Dynasty government. Successive factory officials, including the notorious Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian, both served as eunuchs in the East Factory.
Carry out anti-corruption and punish corrupt officials.
But all this was disrupted after Chongzhen came to power. When Chongzhen brought down Wei Zhongxian, he also brought down the factory guards.
The consequences of this will be left to future generations, just as the director of the Procuratorate and the Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau also committed corruption. While punishing them, the central government also abolished the Procuratorate and the Anti-Corruption Bureau!
After Wei Zhongxian's death, under the "advocacy and praise" of the Donglin Party of the Manchu Dynasty, Chongzhen reduced the power and responsibilities of the factory guards. The Jinyiwei even directly degenerated into the emperor's bodyguards, fulfilling their most basic duties as generals of the Han Dynasty, just like decorations
It also stands on the temple. Sometimes it is also sent to protect a certain civil official who is on patrol (out of town). For example, when Zhang Chun goes out of customs, Dong Kaiguo and other royal guards will accompany him to protect him.
Dongchang was suppressed by the civil servants until it was reduced to a dilapidated yamen, and the gangsters could not even leave the capital easily.
Without the help of factory guards, Chongzhen naturally could not control hundreds of officials and could not implement his own policies. In this regard, he tried to get out of the predicament by constantly changing his chief ministers. However, stance determines action. Once the obedient officials were placed in the cabinet,
That was not the case with the first assistant, so Chongzhen's behavior of constantly replacing the first assistant was bound to end in failure.
The imperial power without ears, eyes and hands could not control the officials, so the officials became the spokesmen of the business groups. The richest people paid no taxes or very little taxes, while the poorest farmers had to bear the main taxes of the country. In this kind of situation
Under such circumstances, Ming Dynasty's finances naturally went bankrupt.
The lower wisdom governs things, the superior wisdom governs people, and the wise governs the law.
The weakening of the factory guards further accelerated the demise of the Ming Dynasty to a certain extent. But no one knew about all this, not Shi Dayong, not even Jiang Wanli and Cao Bianjiao.
Frankly speaking, Cao Bianjiao and the others hated Dongchang, and they were happy to see the collapse of Dongchang. Therefore, Cao Bianjiao treated Jia Hong rudely and had no choice but to kick him out.
But Shi Dayong didn't know that Dongchang was no longer the same as before. The reason was that the owner of the body was really a dog-slaughterer. He was too dull about what happened in the court and had no keen sense of smell, so he couldn't provide the next owner with anything useful.
Reference opinions.
In addition to doubts, he was still confused. Under doubts, he eagerly wanted to know the purpose of Jia Hong's visit. After signaling Shao Wu to arrange for people to serve tea, he politely invited Jia Hong and the others to take a seat, and asked with an apologetic smile: "I wonder if Jia Qianhu is there?"
Why are you looking for a general?"
After the death of Eunuch Wei, it was the first time that Jia Hong saw a general who was so respectful to Dongchang. He could see that the other general really respected him and was not pretentious at all. This made his heart feel much warmer. Chao Cao turned into a dragon and they
After taking a look, he coughed slightly, which meant that there were many people and it was difficult to talk.
Shi Dayong hurriedly waved to his subordinates and ordered: "You all go down."
Cao Bianjiao was quick to talk. Seeing that Shi Dayong was so polite to Dongchang's settlement, he was a little angry and shouted: "General, it's important to have a drink." Before he could finish, he was pulled by Jiang Wanli, and he had to swallow the rest of his words.
Jiang Wanli was not as reckless as Cao Bianjiao. Although he did not disdain Dongchang, he came to see the general and thought it was important to let the general know. He winked at Li Dashan and the others, and pulled him away.
Cao turned into a dragon and went out.
After everyone left, Jia Hong felt a little embarrassed. He glanced at Shi Dayong, squeezed out a smile and said, "It's not that our family is looking for a general. It's the general of my factory who has something to ask for."
Our home?
After hearing this title, Shi Dayong was startled again: What, this Jia Hong is a father-in-law?
Instinctively, I looked at the other person again. After a closer look, under the light of the light, I realized that the other person really didn’t have a beard. He was indeed a father-in-law!
