Chapter 0853 Chongzhen's perverse actions are back.
In December in Liaodong, snow is already falling.
It was 1634, the Little Ice Age had begun to unfold, and there was heavy snowfall in Liaodong and the weather was extremely cold.
In Shenyang City, Datong Party members gathered at Xu Guangqi's home to see off the Minister of Industry of the Ming Dynasty.
Xu Guangqi was a rare scientist, agriculturist, astronomer, mathematician, and hydraulic scientist in the late Ming Dynasty. He was not only a treasure of the Ming Dynasty, but also a treasure of China. Ordinary people may not know much about the contributions Xu Guangqi has made over the years. But people in the Datong Party know very well that Xu Guangqi’s unknown contributions are behind all the prosperous times of Tianqi Zhongxing.
This was a great talent who did not like fame and fortune, and he was a rare close friend of Zhang Haogu and others.
Xu Guangqi's home had already decorated the mourning hall. Zhang Haogu looked at the spirit tablets and coffin tents and couldn't help but sigh. He had lost another friend in this world with whom he could communicate freely.
Calculate carefully, how many friends do you have now?
Zhang Haogu looked at the spirit tablet sadly, his expression full of sadness. Xu Guangqi seemed unknown in recent years, but the contributions Xu Guangqi made were earth-shattering. These can promote the development of China and can be passed down to future generations to lay a solid foundation. foundation of wealth
Lu Xiangsheng said: "Mr. Xu did not want a grand burial, he only wanted a thin coffin to wrap his body.
Zhang Haogu nodded: "Although I say this, the achievements and deeds of Mr. Xu must be recorded in a realistic way. During his lifetime, Mr. Xu did not attach importance to fame and wealth and bowed to farming. After his death, Mr. Xu cannot be allowed to continue like this. .
Huang Zongxi stepped forward and said, "Mr. Xu has passed away. Ming Gong, it is better for you to express your condolences.
Zhang Haogu asked: "Mr. Xu's family must be taken good care of. The achievements made by Mr. Xu are obvious to all. He is a true member of the Datong Party and a truly benevolent person with the world at heart. What requirements does Mr. Xu's family have?" , we should try our best to meet any needs, and we can’t let people say that our tea has gone cold as soon as we left.”
Huang Zongxi said: "Don't worry, Ming Gong, students understand.
About Xu Guangqi's deeds, word spread quickly in Shenyang City, and then in surrounding places. On the day of Xu Guangqi's funeral, a large number of people came to see Xu Guangqi off.
The people in Liaodong didn't know much about mathematics or weapons, but they knew that Xu Guangqi studied good weather and four seasons, how to make the people have enough to eat, and how to use Liaodong's water conservancy to make the people happy. People who have enough food and clothing and have enough food at home are very simple and simple.
The common people knew that Xu Guangqi did good things for the people of the world. He was a good person and a good official worthy of everyone's farewell.
So on this day, tens of thousands of people in Shenyang and surrounding areas came to see Xu Guangqi off.
Xu Guangqi's coffin was carried by his disciples and placed on a carriage drawn by four horses. There was a group of knights around to expand the guard. Zhang Haogu and others personally supported the coffin. Datong Society used the highest honor to see Xu Guangqi off until The coffin was sent to Tianzhu Mountain outside Shenyang City.
This was originally the place where Nurhaci’s mausoleum was located. Unfortunately, a few years after its construction, the Qing Dynasty was gone. It was taken over by the Ming Dynasty, and the original building facilities were retained. After renovation, it became a brand new cemetery.
Xu Guangqi was the first to be buried in the Tianzhu Mountain Cemetery. Zhang Haogu's request was to erect a monument to pass down Xu Guangqi's deeds through the ages.
After Xu Guangqi passed away, Zhang Haogu held another meeting. On the one hand, he called on everyone to learn from Xu Guangqi and do more practical things. Second, he wanted to build a brand new college in Shenyang. The name has been decided: Guangqi Agricultural College.
Zhang Haogu not only wanted to build an agricultural college named after Xu Guangqi, but also sent an envoy to the capital to report, hoping that Zhu Youjian would be more sensible and give Xu Guangqi a posthumous gift.
Zhu Youjian really didn't have any ill feelings towards Xu Guangqi, and Zhang Haogu wrote a letter in person, so Zhu Youjian posthumously awarded Xu Guangqi a series of titles such as Prince Taibao, Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, etc., and gave Xu Guangqi extremely high treatment.
And Xu Guangqi’s tombstone became: The late Ming Dynasty official, the Prince Taibao presented the Shaobao Taibao to the Shaobao Taibao, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Wenyuan Pavilion scholar Xu Wending Cemetery Que.
Zhang Haogu personally inscribed the title of "Father of the Cultural Relics", "Guofu of the Xi Dynasty, Wang Zuo of Confucianism".
Zhang Ruitu's elegiac couplet: Governing the Ming Dynasty and being a teacher for hundreds of generations.
When a general comes out and becomes a prime minister, a minister named Fenwu Kuiwen.
What we deal with are Xu Guangqi's achievements in agriculture, military, water conservancy, etc., which can be said to be a perfect summary of Xu Guangqi's lifelong achievements.
The first year of Chongzhen also came to an end when Xu Guangqi passed away.
The first year of Chongzhen ended and the second year of Chongzhen arrived. The new year began, which was also the first year that Zhu Youjian officially took power.
As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian couldn't wait to declare his governance philosophy.
So on the morning of the New Year, Zhu Youjian directly announced that he would restore the ancestral system, respect heaven and ancestors, and get the Ming Dynasty back on track.
This series of speeches directly made the bureaucrats and nobles of the old party excitedly kowtow and shout "Long live our emperor!"
What is a good emperor? This is a good emperor!
I know that the big guy is the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty. I know that the big guy has been suffering and has been frustrated for ten years. Finally, I want to give the big guy a chance to vent and make money!
As the first article of abolishing the new law and following the ancestral law, Zhu Youjian announced the banning of the new army and the restoration of the guard system.
In the future, the Ming Dynasty will no longer have a new army. Everyone will be a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, and naturally they will all be soldiers of the garrison camp.
And if the New Army is banned, all the original benefits of the New Army will naturally be abolished.
The reason why Zhu Youjian did this is very simple. He thought it was a waste for the imperial court to maintain so many full-time soldiers. I looked through the official documents of the previous dynasty and found that the annual expenditure of the imperial court on raising 470,000 new soldiers was as high as millions!"
Training, firearms consumption, food, wages, and subsidies are all one after another. What I see is shocking!"
In the past, Taizu could raise a million soldiers without spending a penny. Why does the imperial court now need to spend so much money to raise 470,000 soldiers?"
"Daily drills, one small training every three days, one training session every five days, monthly martial arts competitions, and annual martial arts performances. Isn't this a lot of ordnance consumption? How much extra money does the court have to spend every year for these kinds of expenses?"
"Now that the world is at peace and the world is stable, it's time to put swords and guns into Kuma and release them in Nanshan. I feel that there is no need to spend so much money anymore. It is better to restore the guard system and let the soldiers plow the land and feed themselves. In this way, the imperial court
You can save millions of silver taels every year, what can you do wrong with this money?"
Faced with Zhu Youjian's idea of abolishing the New Army and restoring the health centers, the officials of the old party immediately agreed.
Yes, the New Army is inherently capable of defeating people like them. Since the establishment of the New Army, it has fought many victorious battles, but with such a New Army placed there, the ministers are also afraid. After all, when the New Army first met
Blood is used to train corrupt officials. Who is not afraid of this?
If the New Army is banned, not only will everyone be able to sleep peacefully, but there will also be less threats in the future and no need to fear the court. This is a great thing.
So the officials of the old party all agreed and believed that the New Army should be abolished. Such awesome things are not allowed to exist in the world of Ming Dynasty. Just like the nobles and officials tricked the Qi family army to death, now the New Army has seriously affected
It is in the interest of the nobles and ministers.
Seeing that all the ministers agreed, Zhu Youjian also believed that his idea was right.
When an emperor comes to power, he must show his political ambitions. He must first abolish the New Army and announce the restoration of the ancestral system. The people of the world must realize that he is a kind, pure and filial emperor!
Although Sun Chengzong intended to object, he had no chance to speak and could only watch the imperial edict being issued.
After Sun Chuanchuan learned the news, he repeatedly wrote letters hoping that Zhu Youjian would withdraw his order, but his letter was never sent to Zhu Youjian's desk and was stopped long ago.
When Wen Tiren, Zhu Chunchen and others saw that Sun Chuanting was so stubborn and kept petitioning, they couldn't help it. They couldn't keep suppressing Sun Chuanting's petition, so they had to go to Sun Chengzong, hoping that the civil and military leader of the old party would persuade him: "
Second Assistant, isn’t it bad that Sun Chuanting has repeatedly written letters to his Majesty to withdraw his orders?
How can the imperial decree that His Majesty has issued be easily withdrawn? Moreover, abolishing the new army and replacing it with the old system will not do any harm to him. Why does he have to oppose it? Isn't this something that is beneficial to everyone?
Sun Chengzong looked at Zhu Chunchen without sadness or joy: "It is beneficial to everyone, and it is also good for the court.
Is it beneficial to the world? Abolition of the New Army and the only army that the court can fight are deposed. If there is a problem in the future, how should the court deal with it?
Wen Tiren laughed and said, "You are overly worried, Cifu. The Ming Dynasty was prosperous and peaceful under your Majesty's rule. How could there be disasters? Don't bother yourself. Don't make such nonsense. How could there be problems in this prosperous era of Chongzhen?"
Seeing this, Sun Chengzong didn't want to say anything. His second assistant was just a decoration now, and he didn't bother to argue about it. In the end, Sun Chengzong just silently wrote a letter to Sun Chuanchuan to persuade him not to continue to submit the letter, otherwise those people would not easily
Go around him.
After Sun Chuanting received Sun Chengzong's letter, he was so angry that he yelled: "A bunch of female ministers who are harming the country! Doesn't this mean that Ming Dynasty should abolish its martial arts? If the new army that Ming Dynasty relies on to dominate the world is gone, then the surrounding vassal countries and foreign countries can't
Aren't you dissatisfied? These female ministers only care about themselves. Who would have thought about the Ming Dynasty?
Sun Chuanting felt disappointed after knowing that all his petitions had been withheld. He sadly discovered that the New Party had only been away for a long time, and the Ming Dynasty was full of demons and demons. He felt that he was very powerless, and it was worth giving up in the end.
What else could he do? He could only reluctantly lead his troops and preserve some strength for the Ming Dynasty.
When the New Army officers and soldiers knew that their previous treatment had been abolished, they were also panicked, but Chongzhen still said that they would be given money and food according to the treatment in the guard station, but the treatment in the future would not be that high, but they would still be able to eat enough, and
No need to practice martial arts frequently, etc.
The officers and soldiers of the new army were doubtful about this, but after all, they were already soldiers of the third battalion. Now they had no choice but to obey the imperial decree and act, but the doubts and worries in their hearts were lingering.
After abolishing the New Law and the New Army, Zhu Youjian saw that no one opposed him, and he knew that this was a manifestation of "the world has been suffering from the New Law and the New Party for a long time. Everyone has long been dissatisfied with the New Law and the New Party. The old system of our ancestors is the best!"
Zhu Youjian is not stupid. Both Sun Chengzong and Qian Qianyi have said the benefits of the new army and new laws.
But Sun Chengzong and Qian Qianyi didn't understand that the new army and new laws were from the Tianqi Dynasty, not from the Chongzhen Dynasty!
Now that it is the Chongzhen Dynasty, Zhu Youjian cannot naturally follow Xiao Gui and Cao Cao. He wants to distinguish the Tianqi Dynasty from the Chongzhen Dynasty.
When the Tianqi Dynasty implemented the new law, he would promote the old laws established by his ancestors. The Tianqi Dynasty abolished the guard posts to train the new army and continued to fight. He would abolish the new army and restore the guard posts. The swords were put into the treasury and the horses were released to Nanshan: the Tianqi Dynasty was in power with the new party, and he
The Japanese party must be in power.
In this way, he can ensure that his status and authority are not threatened. Zhu Youjian knows very well that he needs a force that can be commanded, and this force must not be the New Party and the New Army. In this case, he can only restore the three major
camp, and at the same time restore the old loyalty of the old Zhu family and the strength of their nobles.
Soon, Zhu Youjian issued an imperial edict again, announcing that the old treatment of the nobles would be restored, and a large number of nobles who had been deposed as commoners in the Tianqi Dynasty would be reinstated to their official posts, restored their titles, and returned their lands and houses. Naturally, these nobles were extremely moved, and each of them expressed their gratitude to the emperor.
Zhu Youjian kept kowtowing to express his loyalty.
Zhu Youjian was very proud of the performance of these nobles. Zhu Youjian knew very well that the Tianqi Dynasty had new troops and generals. He did not have so many generals, so he naturally needed these nobles with family traditions to lead the army for him.
Turn the former new army into the three major battalions loyal to the emperor, then restore the treatment of the nobles, and re-promote the deposed nobles. These nobles must be grateful to themselves and become die-hard loyalists to the emperor because they gave them status, and they must
Protect yourself to safeguard their interests and status.
Zhu Youjian restored the status of a large number of nobles in one breath and returned them to their houses and slaves. Zhu Youjian also took the opportunity to install these nobles into the three major battalions and became the actual commanders who controlled the troops and horses of the three major battalions.
Gui naturally knew who his status came from, and all of them showed their loyalty to Zhu Youjian. As the Duke of Chengguo, the descendant of Zhu Neng, the old minister of Jingnan, Zhu Chunchen, who was also a member of the old Zhu family, naturally got Zhu Youjian.
With Jian's re-appointment, Zhu Youjian not only restored Cheng Guogong's title and returned his land and residence, Zhu Youjian also rewarded Zhu Chunchen with a large sum of money, and appointed Zhu Chunchen to lead the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army and control the three major camps of the capital.
Zhu Chunchen was naturally grateful and said that he would lead the troops and horses for His Majesty the Emperor so that His Majesty the Emperor could sit back and relax.
Zhu Youjian was even more proud of this,
He felt that his series of operations were much better than those of his imperial brother Zhu Youxiao. Look at himself, he had taken military power and personnel into his own hands, and he was already in control. Emperors like himself had never been more powerful throughout the ages.
several?
However, before Zhu Youjian was happy for long, he suddenly discovered that most of the old party members in the DPRK were from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas!
This made Zhu Youjian instantly realize the problem: If the old party is all from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, then what is the difference between the old party, which takes crony township parties as its interests, and the new party?
They are all equally powerful, so what should I, the emperor, do?
After all, many people in this cabinet are from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
So Zhu Youjian quickly mobilized his smart brain and came up with a new method: abolishing the official examination, reinstating the imperial examination, and opening up Enke!
There are still benefits to the imperial examination. Those who pass the imperial examination will naturally form a mountain faction. Although the imperial examination also depends on the region, there are still mentors and the emperor is involved.
Zhu Youjian believed that restoring the imperial examination would be more conducive to his taking power. Scholars who opened Enke automatically became the emperor's retainers and were called the emperor's mentors.
Whether from the perspective of monarch or minister or master and disciple, Zhu Youjian is the master of those scholars. This is the true wisdom of the emperor!
What's more, Zhu Youjian also planned to take this opportunity to recruit more scholars from other regions to compete with Jiangsu and Zhejiang. After all, the officials started fighting, and the emperor would be stable. Soon, Zhu Youjian announced the abolition of the civil service examination and the restoration of the imperial examination.
In the autumn, Enke will be opened to recruit the world's most talented people.
As soon as this news came out, many scholars and talented people took notice of the news and started Enke!
This is a good opportunity to become a disciple of the Emperor. Are you afraid that you will not have a good salary in the future if you become a disciple of the Emperor?
Nowadays, Zhu Youjian abolished the new law, abolished the new army, restored the old system, restored the titles and treatment of the nobles, etc., and added the restoration of the imperial examination to appease the landowners and gentry in the world. It has been clearly seen by people.
Zhu Youjian is going to go back.
It's not a bad idea to go back, but it benefits everyone.
Therefore, all the scholars, landlords and gentry in the world supported it one after another, saying that this was benevolent government and a government measure that only a benevolent and wise king could have. They sent navy troops to spread the word and printed newspapers so that Zhu Youjian would know about it.
Everyone supports him, so he must do a good job.
Zhu Youjian, who had received feedback from all parties, believed that what he had done was not a problem. He quickly issued a new decree to restore the Kong family's status as Holy Duke Yan, return the Kong family to the Kong family, and let the Kong family continue to rule Qufu.
.
Now the men of the Kong family on the farm were really crying with joy. They twitched several times with excitement on the spot. Soon the men of the Kong family took off their coarse clothes and put on luxurious and beautiful clothes, dressing upright.
Ling Ran went to the capital to express his gratitude. They really had to thank Zhu Youjian properly, otherwise they might have to work on the farm for the rest of their lives!
The New Deal is gone, the New Army is gone, the civil service examination is gone, the nobles and bureaucrats are once again riding on the heads of the people, the landlords and gentry have become independent again, plus the opening of the imperial examination, the restoration of the status of the Confucius family, Zhu Youjian's series of measures
In the eyes of the old party literati and landlords and gentry, he is a famous emperor for the ages!
In the Ming Dynasty, there was only Renzong and Xiaozong. As for Xianzong?
what is that?
It's better for Xiaozong to obey everyone's words. Wouldn't this lead to the resurgence of Hongzhi?
As for the Apocalypse and ZTE? The prosperous Ming Dynasty?
Sooner or later, the master will let the pen kill him!
Therefore, under the encouragement of vested interests such as literati and landlords and gentry, and the flattery of noble bureaucrats and other feudal powerful people, Zhu Youjian felt that he was really a benevolent emperor comparable to Xiaozong through the ages.
Soon, Zhu Youjian delivered another good news that comforted people: the Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Chongzhen Dynasty no longer needed it. It was enough for the Ming Dynasty to have the Censor and the Procuratorate!
This good news was simply a major benefit, and it surprised the bureaucrats and dignitaries who were still a little worried at first! The censors also did not expect that they would be able to take power one day.
Without the anti-corruption bureau, it would be equivalent to shackles and handcuffs. Without the handcuffs, everyone can really live a good life doing whatever they want. Emperor Chongzhen is indeed a good person!
