Chapter 159 Establishing the Capital Protectorate
Tianshou Mountain.
The tombs of emperors and empresses of Ming Dynasty following Ming Chengzu are located.
It is located in the northwest of Changping Prefecture, the southeast of Badaling, and the east of Juyongguan.
Zhu Yijun came to Tianshou Mountain on March [-]th, and to show respect to his ancestors, he, concubines, ministers, etc., walked to the emperor's tombs to perform the spring sacrifice after arriving here.
On the way, Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Juzheng and Fang Fengshi to accompany him, and mentioned to Zhang Juzheng the increase in the number of troops proposed by Qi Jiguang, Li Chengliang and others the day before after they knew that the imperial court was going to implement the new policy of integrating officials and gentry to pay food and errands. From the point of view, and said:
"Leaving aside what Dongpinghou said, sir and Fang Qing think that what Li, Ma and others have said is too much?"
Zhang Juzheng glanced at Fang Fengshi.
Fang Fengshi replied: "It's not too much to go back to Your Majesty."
"Because of the complex composition of Hu Yi in Liaodong, in addition to Mongols and Jurchens, there are also Saurons, and they are more sturdy and good at fighting. The increase of [-] infantry will indeed help strengthen the imperial court's frontier defense in Liaodong."
"As for Xuanfu and Datong, both are important towns, it is reasonable to add [-] infantry to guard the Tatars."
"A town in Shanxi has increased its troops by [-], and strengthening the defense of Hedong is indeed more conducive to keeping the capital safe."
Fang Fengshi was born as the governor of a border town for a long time, and has been in charge of the military department for a long time. He is relatively clear about border affairs, and he is also a civil servant, so he doesn't want military generals to become big.
Therefore, hearing what he said, Zhu Yijun confirmed his inner opinion even more.
He also had to admit that the appetites of Li Chengliang, Ma Fang and others were indeed not that great.
They only asked for an increase of [-] to [-] soldiers each, and they were willing to accept the imperial court's implementation of the government's policy of paying food and errands for officials and gentry.
Of course, Zhu Yijun knew that this was because these northern generals had to take care of the feelings of the imperial court and southern officials, so they didn't dare to make excessive demands.
And if, like in history, when the Ming Dynasty perished and they went south with the Qing Dynasty, what they wanted would not be the food and pay brought by the [-] to [-] soldiers, but the wealth of the southern scholars and people after the blood flowed into the river.
Zhu Yijun also nodded and said: "It's really not too much, but we can't let them eat too much, we have to let Fu Yong and other civil servants pay close attention!"
Zhu Yijun looked at Fang Fengshi when he said this: "Qing is a privy envoy, you can send them an official letter to let Li, Ma, etc. know, don't let me be unable to protect them because of their ugly appearance, especially if it leads to war. good."
"Also, the number of their servants must be strictly limited, and they must be registered in the register, and the court's food and salary cannot be spent in vain."
Fang Fengshi bowed his hands and said the will.
"In addition, civil servants should also ring the alarm bell. Don't be like the last military selection department, where the military officer must send money to stay or be promoted."
"According to the confession concluded by the San Judicial Division, [-]% of the military officials' free salary went to the civil servants above, [-]% went to the superiors among the military officials, and the other [-]% belonged to themselves."
"If this is a common phenomenon, it means that it is not the military ministers but the civil servants who are paid for nothing!"
As Zhu Yijun spoke, he looked at Zhang Juzheng: "So, sir, remember to draw up an order for the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the officials of the six departments to pay close attention. I don't want me to clean up the Privy Council and even Dao officer!"
"The minister obeys the order."
Zhang Juzheng replied, and looked at each other with Fang Fengshi.
The biggest sequelae of purging the military selection department is that it gave the emperor a reason to say directly that the real bulk of the empty pay is the civil servants who truly represent the bureaucratic group.
So much so that Zhang Juzheng and Fang Fengshi couldn't say anything now.
"Is it time for Hai Rui to end his worries?"
Zhu Yijun suddenly asked again.
Fang Fengshi couldn't help being startled, and immediately looked at Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Juzheng clasped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty Qizuo, it is indeed time for Hai Rui to end Ding You."
"Remember that when the time comes, once there is a vacancy in the Liangjing Dutang, let him fill the vacancy in time."
"It might be better to have him staring at him, besides, he is not a person who has no sense of propriety."
Zhu Yijun said.
Zhang Juzheng replied: "Your Majesty is right."
Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Juzheng and Fang Fengshi at this time: "The day before yesterday, Uncle Ning Yuan said in the imperial preface that the Jurchen made a living by fishing and hunting, and would build a village to protect themselves, and I remember that the Privy Council mentioned that there were also Jianzhou Jurchen who fled in the northeast. Regarding the matter of military households working in agriculture and making iron tools, the master also said that the local Hu Yi are very strong and good at fighting, so you say, will there be a powerful foreign force like the Wanyan clan in the Liao land in the future?"
Fang Fengshi nodded after hearing this: "Your Majesty is wise! Han and Yi live together here, and there are many trade exchanges. After a long time, I have learned the Han family's skills and mastery of farming. In addition, if China is weak, it is indeed easy to breed great disasters. Therefore, the Privy Council It is believed that in the local area, the prisoner should be changed to the returnee, and the army should be increased first to kill the chieftain, so that there will be no heroes in the area, but only the obedient people! Then set up the officials, move the Han people, and at the same time set up a school, and promote the imperial style, And the Sinicization is the same as that of the mainland!"
"Then add [-] or [-] troops to Li Chengliang!"
"Imitate the system of the Han and Tang Dynasties, first set up an Anton Governor's Mansion in Nu'er!"
"It's just that the official positions of the Duhufu have to be reorganized. An Dong Duhufu's manager will be set up. As the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, the secretary of the Ministry of War, the left and right servants, and the censor, he will be in charge of the military and civil affairs of the Duhufu. He will be stationed in Liaoyang. ;"
"Establish the admiral of the Anton Protectorate's Mansion, as the governor of the Five Armies' Commander-in-Chief or a fellow-knowledge of the governors, the admiral will supervise the military administration in the Protectorate's Mansion, and be stationed in Nuergan;"
"And the Anton Governor's Mansion is in charge of the battalions and guards of the Liaodong and Nugangan capitals, and is in charge of commanding military affairs."
"The civil and military officials under the jurisdiction of the Jinglue, Admiral and Duhufu must be appointed by the Ministry of Officials, and the Privy Council will test and recommend them, and the Privy Council will be informed about the military and political affairs of the Duhufu, and the Ministry of War will be responsible for supplying money, food, and military equipment;"
"In addition, Liaodong and Nuergan added the chief secretary, the inspection department and the government, prefecture, and county officials. The chief secretary and the inspection department officials were appointed by the Ministry of Officials. Only additional guards were set up outside the Nuergan capital, such as the restoration of the Polo River. Guards, such as Ezo guards can also be added."
After Zhu Yijun spoke, he asked Zhang Juzheng and Fang Fengshi: "What do you think, sir and the Privy Councilor?"
The two were silent for a while.
Suddenly, Fang Fengshi took the initiative to ask: "Your Majesty, what about the Chief Protector?"
"Let's take it away when I have an heir, and let it go first."
Zhu Yijun said.
Fang Fengshi listened and said: "Since this is the case, I think we can give Li Chengliang an additional [-] troops, [-] infantry to strengthen Liaodong, and another [-] cavalry to control the Nuergan area in the future!"
"It's not hard to find those who are good at riding and shooting in the Liaodong area, but most of them are Hu Yi, and they need to be transformed into kings. After they are incorporated into the army, they must change their customs and customs, and they can no longer just restrain themselves like Duoyan Sanwei at the beginning of the country."
"What you said is very true. It is out of date to restrain people. Anyone who disobeys Wang Hua will be punished!"
Zhu Yijun nodded his head and said.
Zhang Juzheng said: "If that's the case, it is really necessary to implement the official and gentry payment of food and errands! But your majesty, in the opinion of my ministers, even if the official and gentry payment of food and errands is really implemented, it can only go so far as to send slaves to the capital. So far, after all, the imperial court should not give Li Chengliang too many troops; what's more, in the north, if you want to continue to return, you will need more money and food, and the common people in the interior may not be able to bear it."
Zhu Yijun nodded: "Don't worry, sir, I will not disregard the life and death of the people."
Zhang Juzheng hurriedly bowed his hands and said yes.
"Go pass Ningyuan Bolai."
At this moment, Zhu Yijun gave another order to Zhang Hong beside him.
So, not long after, Li Chengliang came to Zhu Yijun and saluted: "Your Majesty!"
"Be flat."
"Walk with me."
As soon as Zhu Yijun said that, he raised his feet and walked forward, while Zhang Juzheng, Fang Fengshi, and Zhang Hong all took the initiative to take a few steps back.
"Yes!"
Only Li Chengliang agreed to follow.
"I have discussed with my husband and the Privy Council and decided to add [-] troops to Liaodong, and set up Andong as the guardian. You will be the admiral of the Duhufu, admiring the military affairs of Liaodong and Nurgan!"
After Li Chengliang followed up, Zhu Yijun told him his plan bluntly.
Li Chengliang was dumbfounded again after hearing this, and then couldn't help pursing his lips: "Your Majesty, this job is very heavy, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take this job."
"If it's difficult, you have to face it first, and then change it when you are incompetent!"
Zhu Yijun said sharply.
Li Chengliang hurriedly said: "Yes! I will do my best not to disappoint His Majesty!"
"I did this so that there will be no more Yan family in Liaodong in the future! Therefore, you should understand what I mean. I don't want to be able to hear it from the south of Wu's River (located in the Outer Xing'an Mountains) when I patrol the east in the future. Hu Yin, I can't see the Han stele!"
Zhu Yijun continued.
Li Chengliang hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
"Get up, and tell me, what is the current situation of Jurchen's ministries."
Zhu Yijun smiled.
After Li Chengliang got up to thank him, he said that he was telling Zhu Yijun.
But at this time, Fang Fengshi who was following them couldn't help but whispered to Zhang Juzheng at this moment: "Uncle, Your Majesty has a lot of ambition, and actually wants to restore the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties!"
