Chapter 92 Ming Dynasty can also have a military aircraft department
Zhu Chunchen panicked when he saw all the officials looking at him a little strangely. He was not clean himself, but Zuo Guangdou actually did not accuse him unjustly at all.
"It's not that complicated."
Zhu Youxiao spoke, looking at Zhu Chunchen with gentle eyes, as if he was the only hope now.
Zhu Chunchen quickly knelt down and bowed to the prince.
"There was indeed a servant in Duke Cheng's house who participated in the conspiracy, but Duke Cheng didn't know about it. I personally saw him holding Zheng Yangxing to the last moment, until Tengxiang left guard wiped out the rebels."
Hearing what the prince said, Zhu Chunchen burst into tears of gratitude. As expected, the prince wanted to keep him. As long as he survives this time, he will fight against the Donglin Party and settle the score thoroughly.
He raised his head and met the prince's gentle and kind eyes.
"Not only that, Duke Cheng Guo also promised to completely disband his retainers in the future and hand over all power in the capital camp. After investigating the rebels and confiscating his house, he also went to the border. Doesn't this prove his loyalty?"
When the officials heard it, they were convinced that it was quite good to achieve this level.
Zhu Youxiao said: "Many ministers are close to the situation of Duke Cheng Guo and Lao Tianguan. Some of them are within the scope of their responsibilities, their yamen, friends and colleagues are involved in rebellion, and some of them can't distinguish between ourselves and the enemy and stay behind closed doors. How to deal with these?
”
He paused for a moment, and all the officials slowed down their breathing.
"Are they all subject to investigation? Are they all like Zuo Guangdou, who did not report the knowledge and then defended the rebels? Are there some different opinions, a little hesitation and carelessness, and they must be punished?"
Many officials are very worried and afraid of delving into these relationships.
If you think about it a little more deeply, you will find that many people have the behavior of sitting on the fence. Those who do not support the crown prince, those who shout for Dong Lin, those who expect the fifth son of the emperor to succeed, and those who do not help each other behind closed doors no matter what...
There are more or less minor problems.
"My father respects Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, and I am a filial son who devotes himself to treating his illness and adheres to his ideas. My father treats you with kindness and justice. I believe that you can correct small mistakes and really use your ability to do things well." p>
The officials once again felt the sincerity of Emperor Taichang and the prince to supervise the country. They had heard before that Taichang imitated Liu Bei and won a lot of favor among the civil and military officials. Now they felt it again.
Everyone makes mistakes, but you can't be disloyal just because of your mistakes.
Liu Bei's brothers Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide were lost in Xuzhou, and his capable minister Fa Zheng once avenged his personal revenge, but later he was tolerated by Liu Bei with benevolence and righteousness, and he later corrected himself and made irreplaceable contributions.
When more than half of the people thought about it, they had indeed made some minor mistakes. The Prince Supervisor said this, so they can really rest assured.
Just like Zhu Chunchen and Zhou Jiamo, they both admitted that their subordinates were involved in the conspiracy, and weren't they arranged to make up for it with the most important things?
How can you be like Zuo Guangdou, who is obviously unclean but refuses to admit any faults? It seems too fake and has no attitude of continuing to be loyal or cooperative.
"When I know this, I will definitely correct my mistakes and perform my duties faithfully!" Fang Congzhe, the first assistant, and Zhang Weixian, the British Duke, and all the officials expressed their attitude.
"Okay! Then let's continue discussing the investigation and reform of the rebel soldiers and horses."
Zhang Weixian and Zhu Chunchen looked at each other. One was old and the other was in his prime. The two great military heroes of the Ming Dynasty appeared together: "I believe that an agency parallel to the cabinet should be set up to handle military-related affairs."
Huang Jiashan, Minister of the Ministry of War, also came out and said: "There are many soldiers and horses involved in the rebellion. It is by no means that the Ministry of War can investigate and carry out reforms well. I agree with His Highness's proposal."
Li Ruhua, Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue, and Huang Kezuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, also said that the soldiers involved in the rebellion include Jingying, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, City Patrol Soldiers and Horses Division, and important yamen of Shuntian Prefecture. They usually commit corruption and break the law a lot, and they should be investigated vigorously and rigorously.
Han Xu, the bachelor who had been silent today, also looked at Fang Congzhe, and the two of them came out together:
"There was a rebellion in the cabinet, and the ministers were guilty of not observing and being unable to stop it. This investigation and reorganization of the troops involved in the rebellion, the cabinet should avoid suspicion."
Zhou Jiamo, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Sun Ruyou, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, were both on the outskirts of Donglin, and it was impossible to agree to this proposal at first. But now they have been beaten to shame, and they are eager to quickly draw a clear line with the Donglin Party.
"I have seriously neglected my duties and agreed to set up an agency to investigate and reorganize. I also ask the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites to investigate together."
The heavyweight ministers of the imperial court have all expressed their opinions. The censor of the left capital and the minister of the Ministry of Industry have participated in the rebellion and died. The censor of the right capital has not yet been filled because of the vacancy during the Wanli period.
On the contrary, Zhou Yingqiu, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, was one of the heroes behind the scenes this time. Of course, he stood up to express support on behalf of the Ministry of Industry.
Zhou Yingqiu managed the wood and stone goods yards inside and outside Dongzhimen. Tang Renjie, the cook at home, and Wei Liangqing, the cook at the goods yard, cooked for the white pole soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers for the royal family. The lunch boxes were filled with gunpowder and transported to the outside of the palace by two troops. p>
In addition, when Wei Liangqing purchased fried liver, braised pigs and other pigs, he found that prices in the east of the city had skyrocketed, which provided key materialistic evidence for Zhu Youxiao to discover that Shuntian Prefecture was involved in the rebellion.
They played a very important role.
It's just that this matter is still a secret. If you don't make any announcement for the time being, there will naturally be rewards and benefits later.
Most of the people on the censor's side are empty, and of course there are no objections.
In a situation like the Ming Dynasty, relying on the lousy censors to supervise the situation would make the supervisors lonely. In the end, the censors made more money than anyone else. Land annexation and the integration of government and business were not stopped, but they were very actively involved in party struggles.<
/p>
Of course, Zhu Youxiao wanted to change the censorship organization and reorganize it, but the old rule was still the same - military power was given priority.
First, use the investigation involving rebellion as an opportunity to prioritize changes involving the military.
The same goes for Yanguan, who was placed as the second target of reform after the military power reform.
"Since all your dear friends believe that the investigation and reorganization of rebel soldiers and horses is very important and agree to the establishment of an agency at the same level as the cabinet, then this supervising country proposes the establishment of a Military Aircraft Division to specialize in the investigation, reorganization, and reform of rebel soldiers and horses, and in the future
Coordinate with troops and horses."
Military Aircraft Department?
As soon as the civil and military officials heard the name of this military aircraft department, they felt that it was a big deal!
Zhu Youxiao had this idea for a long time. Although the Military Aircraft Department was established after the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty could also have a Military Aircraft Department~
At first, when Yongzheng deployed troops to the northwest, he established auxiliary and service agencies. The personnel and office locations were also quite flexible. Although the main officials held important positions, they still mainly worked in the original cabinet, six ministries and other yamen.
Since Heshen took charge of the Military Aircraft Department during the Qianlong period, his status has been rising. Not only did he replace the cabinet in the Ming Dynasty, but he also gradually overshadowed the cabinet because he drafted imperial edicts and handled military and government affairs together. On the contrary, the cabinets since then have become more and more useless.
.
The Ming Military Aircraft Department envisaged by Zhu Youxiao is of course different from this. It is relatively more similar to the role of the Yongzheng period. However, the personnel and office space can be separated and allowed to function as an independent organization.
Who said that the Military Aircraft Department can only be Manchu and Qing Dynasty?
Ming Dynasty can also have a military aircraft department.
