Chapter 410 The Qing Dynasty’s greatest worry lies in the Qianqing Palace!

Kangxi did not mention the Ming Dynasty at all. In recent years, the Qing court seemed unable to face the reality that the Ming Dynasty would replace the Qing Dynasty.

"It is becoming clearer to me now that the troubles at the heart of the Qing Dynasty are not outside, but in the court, right here in the Qianqing Palace! Among my flesh and blood princes and ministers, if our place is bad, the Qing Dynasty will be bad. one slice!"

"If you all die, there will be uprisings all over the Qing Dynasty. Let us die without a burial place. Think about it, it was only a few years ago that Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian was hanged on Meishan Mountain! Forgot, you guys Forgot! That old crooked-necked tree is standing behind the palace, staring at you and you guys there every day!"

"I, I haven't slept for three days and nights, and I always want to say something to everyone. After thinking about it, I only have four words: upright. Upright! These four words are easy to talk about, but how difficult it is to practice them. Ah! These four words were dug out of my heart, dug out from the sea of ​​blood. Remember! Starting from today, this palace will be renamed Zhengda Guangming Palace, Zhengda Guangming Palace!"

Amidst the emperor's wise shouts, Nalan Mingzhu stood up straight. Looking at Nalan Mingzhu's calm and calm appearance, Kangxi was also happy and asked: "Mingzhu, you look like this, but you have Strategies to pacify bandits."

Kangxi also made fun of it, but who knew, everyone saw Nalan Mingzhu cupping his hands and saying: "Your Majesty, I have been thinking hard for more than a month, and finally I have a way to calm the chaos!"

"What can you do?" Kangxi almost screamed.

Everyone looked at Nalan Mingzhu in surprise.

Other ministers who were close to him kept winking at Nalan Mingzhu, reminding him not to be the first person again.

Nowadays, banditry is becoming more and more serious in various places. The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have no way to cure it. In other words, even if they have a way, if they say it out, it will not achieve good results in the end. They will inevitably be criticized by others and even be reprimanded by the emperor. In the end, they will be eaten Hang down.

However, this matter was of great importance, and Kangxi could not agree immediately no matter what.

Kangxi immediately opened it and started reading.

Nalan Mingzhu took a deep breath, stood in front of the kneeling civil and military ministers, and said loudly: "This is the "Strengthening the Wall and Clearing the Fields and Promoting the Proposal" written by me, please ask the emperor to read it."

Everyone stared at Nalan Mingzhu in stunned silence. Kangxi listened and pondered, his face very solemn.

As he spoke, he looked at Nalan Mingzhu and said: "Master Mingzhu, our court does not allocate military expenses for regiment training in various places. It is entirely up to local regiments to raise their own funds. You should know that training soldiers requires huge military expenditures. Even for wealthy families, There are only a few people who can bear the responsibility, but if things go on like this, it may not last long. Moreover, most of the rural warriors recruited by the regiment training are homeless refugees and savages in the mountains. Most of these people are uneducated people, and they are afraid of fighting with them when the time comes. There is a lot of discord among the local people, and the relationship between the government and the people is troubled by the refugees."

Kangxi then asked slowly: "My dear friends, what do you think after seeing this strategy?"

"Thirdly, the regiment training in various places is not the army of the Qing Dynasty, but the righteous soldiers organized spontaneously by various places to protect local stability. The court does not need to allocate military expenditures, which can alleviate the military expenditures of the Qing Dynasty."

Nalan Mingzhu said: "I have also thought deeply about this matter. According to my idea, local leagues will not only protect the local area, but also assist local inspections and catch thieves, assist in collecting taxes, etc. The imperial court can order the local areas to retain part of the taxes for rewards. Regiments from various places train warriors to fight bravely. Secondly, the wasteland can be divided and grains can be provided, so that the regiments of various places can train and cultivate by themselves, open up the wasteland, cultivate during the farming season, and practice bravery during leisure time."

Nalan Mingzhu seemed to be invisible, and said confidently: "Your Majesty, yes."

Kangxi listened quietly, obviously very satisfied. Looking at Kangxi's smile that could no longer be concealed, the ministers knew that this matter had basically become a foregone conclusion.

Nalan Mingzhu said with a smile: "What Mr. Peng said is true. I have written it clearly in the memorial. Local warriors are trained in various places, and local officials should supervise them to urge them to strictly abide by this policy and program."

Almost everyone fell into Nalan Mingzhu's routine from the beginning without knowing it.

However, they did not realize that from the beginning of the discussion, they were discussing how to hold group training, not whether this group training should be held.

Kangxi actually helped him solve this most difficult question.

"The plan will be settled." Kangxi asked impatiently. He was so anxious. He didn't know whether it was because of his trust in Nalan Mingzhu's talent or because he was ill and sought medical treatment.

Not long after, low voices of discussion could be heard in the Qianqing Palace, no, in the Zhengda Guangming Palace.

Nalan Mingzhu talked eloquently and said: "Bandit troubles are everywhere, and our troops stationed in various places in the Qing Dynasty are exhausted. On the one hand, they cannot clear up the bandits efficiently, and on the other hand, they waste military resources and suffer huge losses. In just two months, our army has The Qing Dynasty spent tens of millions of taels on military expenditures, but achieved almost nothing, and banditry was still rampant in various places."

After a while, Emperor Kangxi sneered and said: "Okay, okay, what a good way to quench thirst by drinking poison!"

“Fourthly, the local governments are brave, and the imperial court can vigorously promote the recruitment of homeless people such as refugees and mountain dwellers, so as to reduce local pressure, secondly to solve the living difficulties of homeless people, and thirdly not to affect farming in various places. "

"Mingzhu, what do you say?"

The great eunuch Liang Jiugong quickly took it from Nalan Mingzhu and gave it to Kangxi.

In fact, regardless of the various shortcomings, the combat effectiveness of regiment training is very impressive.

Suo'etu thought for a while and said, "I have a question."

This depends on the composition of the members of Tuanlian Xiangyong. Tuanlian is actually a militia, and their purpose is to protect their hometown.

Most of an hour passed.

Nalan Mingzhu was about to say something, but Kangxi said: "Military expenditure is indeed a big problem, but there are some barbarians who violate the prohibition, one minus one. If anyone violates our Qing laws, they can be investigated and punished according to our Qing laws. A little It’s a minor trouble, nothing to worry about.”

Upon hearing this, Pengchun hurriedly said: "Let me tell you, Your Majesty, I do have doubts. According to what Lord Mingzhu said, regiment training will be spread all over my court. By then, the number of soldiers trained in the regiment will be tens or millions. With such a huge power, It is a huge threat to our safety."

Kangxi was extremely satisfied after hearing this. He looked at everyone and said, "My lords, do you have any other questions?"

"Regional training in various places must abide by the most basic principles and responsibilities, namely, unite, restrain, build forts, protect armor, teach, defend, defend, calm, inspect, reconcile, ambush and give orders, etc. and are required to practice Train your mind, train your mind, train your courage, train your body, train your hands, train your feet, train your ears, and train your eyes. Be familiar with knives, forks, guns, and teach them loyalty. Training in groups from various places, not under each other, supervising and restricting each other, and obeying the command of the commander-in-chief of each place. and yamen, and strictly limit the number of people training in various regions to prevent it from getting bigger and threatening the safety of various regions."

However, Nalan Mingzhu, who knew the Sacred Heart very well, knew that Kangxi was moved.

"Last point, the key point of this policy is to use the Han to control the Han and grant some rights, so that the gentry in various places will tie all their interests to the Qing Dynasty. When the time comes, the various places will want to develop a massive rebellion like Zhili again.

, hope is almost nonexistent, we must protect our Qing Dynasty and pass it on to all generations."

Pengchun nodded while listening, and finally said, "I admire you!"

"Secondly, the regiment training in various regions must follow the dispatch of the general troops of the local government to make up for the shortcomings of the insufficient number of troops in various regions of the Qing Dynasty."

Therefore, most of the soldiers in Tuanlian Xiangyong are related, maybe brothers, maybe friends, or more likely father and son, so they are very brave and united in battle.

Nalan Mingzhu really wanted to give Kangxi a thumbs up.

"This method has several advantages. First, the leader of the regiment training must have an official status. It can encourage wealthy squires from all over the country to donate to the officialdom, which can greatly ease the financial expenditure of our Qing Dynasty and make up for our Qing Dynasty's Qing Dynasty in a short time.

Military expenditures will be lost from January 1st.”

The regiment training system caused an uproar in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty. However, since Kangxi had already made up his mind, and the cabinet ministers and many powerful ministers had agreed, there were not too many twists and turns.

"However, Lord Mingzhu, what do you think about this military expenditure and how to solve it? If it is not solved, the group training will not last long. However, these local braves have been trained. If chaos breaks out, the poison will be even greater."

After all, Tuanlian Xiangyong was just a militia. In theory, Tuanlian should exist as a auxiliary defense force for the regular army. However, under the suppression of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty gradually weakened, and banditry continued everywhere. Tuanlian actually became Kangxi's last life-saving straw.

.

"Pengchun, you are a famous general of our dynasty, you should be knowledgeable about this!"

"Furthermore, even if a regiment in a certain area has a counter-intention, once it is discovered, the nearby regiment and the garrison will definitely be able to encircle and suppress it and suppress it in a very short time."

At this time, no one dared to say anything for fear of hitting the muzzle of a gun.

"Therefore, I request an order to set up regiments in various places to train rural warriors. The gentry with official status in various places will recruit common people and mountain people to train rural warriors and protect the local area."

"All my beloved lords, please be free of charge first!" Listening to Kangxi's calm tone, he was no longer as angry as before. Now, everyone understood that Kangxi was moved.

After hearing this, Nalan Mingzhu's heart tightened. As expected of his old enemy Suo Tu, in a short period of time, he saw the hidden dangers under the beautiful appearance of the group training system.

"Send this policy to all your dear friends for review." Kangxi handed the memorial in his hand to Liang Jiugong, sat firmly on the dragon chair, waved, took the tea cup from the palace maid, and drank the tea leisurely.

Don't rush me, just wait quietly for everyone to read the memorial.

However, there are also people who worry that it would be inappropriate to rush to implement this method all over the world. In the end, it was decided to implement it in Zhili.

Anyway, Zhili is already in a mess now, so we are not afraid of getting even worse.

Although drinking poison is a way to quench thirst, if you add more sugar, the poison wine may not be bitter.

Therefore, Kangxi issued an order to implement the team training system in Zhili as a pilot project.
