Chapter 47: Liaodong wind rises
‘The civil servants in the court and the honorary relatives in Beijing are going to try to kill a group of them.’
On the way back to the Forbidden City from the Shenshu Camp, Emperor Chongzhen leaned on the cushion, closed his eyes to rest, "especially the group of fence-riding honors.
If you cannot seize the title in a great way, you will start a major case, and it is best to secretly communicate with Jianlu.
Each one is extremely overwhelming.
Judging from this posture.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to shock these privileged parties, let alone control the court, even maintaining stability.'
Recalling the recent situation in the court, as well as the inspection of Shenji Camp, Shenshu Camp, and Zu Dashou and others' performances, these scenes emerged in Emperor Chongzhen's mind.
I just wanted to make things right. Before I could touch their core interests, I just jumped around like this. After a long time, how could it be?
In a sense, the cancer that has been passed down from the Wanli Dynasty is firmly attached to the Ming Dynasty.
If you want to remove these tumors, if you are not careful, it will damage the Ming Dynasty's vitality.
This feeling of walking on tightropes, like walking on thin ice, made Emperor Chongzhen feel angry.
Then let’s take the eight major Shanxi merchants as a matter!
And Li Ruzhen and the others!
Emperor Chongzhen slowly opened his eyes and a sharp light flashed.
He has never wanted to start a massacre, but wants to steadily develop the treasury economy and strive to stabilize the overall situation of the court.
But there are always some people, always some invisible constraints, jump out and pop up when he takes action.
"Han Zanzhou..."
"I'm here!"
Emperor Chongzhen's voice sounded inside the imperial carriage. This was called Han Zanzhou, who was accompanying him outside, hurriedly bowed and responded.
"Send someone to call your partner back to the palace."
"Here!"
When Han Zanzhou heard this, he immediately responded.
What is the emperor doing?
Wang Chengen, the eunuch who is the chief eunuch of the rituals and the governor of the great masters, often stays by the emperor's side, what are they doing?
Zhu Chunchen, Tang Guozuo, Wang Qiao, Wang Zaijin and other ministers who followed Zhu Chunchen, secretly figured it out in their hearts after seeing this scene.
In the current Ming Dynasty, which group with authority is not a person with a good mind?
Who is worth using it?
Who is not worth using?
All of them are extremely tests of Emperor Chongzhen's skills.
From the suburbs of Beijing and back to the Forbidden City, Emperor Chongzhen did not return to the Qianqing Palace, but went to the Military Affairs Office and asked Wang Qia and other military affairs ministers to discuss and urge the Beijing camp to eliminate soldiers and reduce their salaries.
Emperor Chongzhen understood it clearly.
Solving it out by relying on the internal solution alone will not achieve satisfactory results.
Even the group of honorary and relatives in the Xiyuan Martial Arts Hall were temporarily withdrawn from the Martial Arts Hall.
It is not necessarily possible that some relatives who are greedy for money can do these things sincerely.
However, those children of the great and noble family could not leave the martial arts lecture hall for too long, otherwise it would affect the deployment of controlling the three camps in the future.
We must put pressure from outside, and the on-the-job relatives who are currently working are actually threatened, and we cannot let the three camps roar. This degree must be grasped well.
The three camps guarding the capital have a total scale of tens of thousands. Even if 30% of them are cut off, they are still huge.
The Ming Dynasty was able to pursue the emperor's guarding the country's gates and the king's death to the country, but the three camps are now, and the degree of deterioration is far beyond ordinary people's imagination.
If the Beijing Camp is not solved well, don’t talk about controlling the basic foundation of Beizhili.
When Tianjin abolished the military and established a prefecture, such a storm occurred in the court, and it might not be possible that there was nothing behind the scenes of the Beijing-Honors and relatives.
"My principle is only one."
Looking at Wang Qia, Wang Zaijin and others, Emperor Chongzhen said coldly: "If the on-the-job honorary and relatives cannot do things and cannot share my worries, then change them to another group.
Among the honors and relatives in Beijing, some of them can share my worries.
Your Military Affairs Office will work with the Ministry of War to improve the corresponding matters to me and send them to the three major camps.
The matter of abolishing the three members will never be shaken!"
After hearing this, Wang Qia and others knew the emperor's determination. As for what to do about the rest, they had a clear idea.
Although it is said that the group of honors and relatives of the Ming Dynasty were suppressed by civil officials at the political level, which caused the Ming Dynasty to have an imbalance in civil and military affairs.
But from another perspective, when the emperor wants to severely punish the great and nobles of the Ming Dynasty, effectively using civil servants can often achieve unexpected results.
However, for Emperor Chongzhen, the political pattern of imbalance between civil and military affairs must be broken and reshaped and restored to the general policy of checks and balances between civil and military affairs.
Without such a premise, many problems in the Ming Dynasty cannot be solved.
Like the Eight Banners of Jianlu who will face in the future, including the gradually rising bandit forces, they all need a group of tiger generals with real talents and knowledge to lead the Ming Dynasty's strong army to suppress it.
If the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty hold on to power and oppress the military generals at will, then why should they quell the rebellion?
It cannot be said that a group of generals is under various internal constraints while dealing with difficult opponents. No matter how powerful a role is, it is impossible to do its job well.
"Your Majesty... An urgent report came from Liaodong." Zhou Yanru hurriedly walked in from outside the hall with a memorial. His words were called Emperor Chongzhen, Wang Qia and others, and they all looked over.
“Show it.”
Seeing Zhou Yanru like this, Emperor Chongzhen's expression became solemn. Could it be that something happened to Liaodong?
For the current Chongzhen Emperor, the ones who were most afraid of problems were the Liao Dynasty and the other was Shanxi.
No matter where there is a problem, the temporary stability situation he has been maintaining will collapse in an instant.
If he didn't leave enough time for him to build a foundation and remove some cancers, then the Ming Dynasty was really helpless.
"Minister Sun Chengzong, Yu Ningyuan..."
Under the gaze of everyone, Emperor Chongzhen read the urgent reports submitted by Liaoqian and knew where the matter was.
The policy of adjustment in front of Liao was no longer implemented to build military forts, and wide trenches were dug and tunnel defense lines were built. This proposal was very fierce in front of Liao.
Most people are perverted and are mostly perfunctory in leading the supervisory office to recruit the Liao people and the strong men, so the progress is extremely slow.
"It's good to be removed!"
Emperor Chongzhen took the memorial and frowned and said, "Each one by one, I was in front of Liao, and I just wanted to ask the state court to allocate money and food, but I didn't know the difficulties of the state court.
I want to use this method to force the country and the dynasty to change its strategies.
It seems that the authority given to Sun Qing is still too small. Some people think that Sun Qing, the Liaodong governor, lost his prestige in the years before leaving Liao."
Wang Qia and Wang Zai Jin and others, after hearing what the emperor said, many of them showed doubts. What was the matter? He asked the emperor to praise Sun Chengzong's actions like this?
"The Military Affairs Office has issued an imperial edict."
Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Every city and fortress in front of Liao are responsible for guarding the territory. Who dares to abandon the city and military fortress they guard, get rid of their posts on the spot, and escort them to the Beijing Review Office! This matter is under the responsibility of the Liaodong Governor's Office.
