Chapter 688 Non-My Race, Their Hearts Must Be Different
The three ministers are Sima, Situ, and Sikong. Different eras are different. Sima is in charge of military affairs, Situ is in charge of government affairs, and Sikong is in charge of construction. Just look at the functions of the three, we can tell that the prime minister is Situ, but the three ministers are in parallel. Although Situ is the prime minister, he cannot directly interfere in military affairs. Construction can only be indirectly influenced by Sima and Sikong through the Censorate and Shangshutai, rather than directly controlling. The cabinet is different, and the cabinet directly controls the six ministries and then controls all rights in the world.
The cabinet at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty was just some aides of "advisor" nature. The emperor had a direct dialogue with the six ministries, and there was nothing in the cabinet, just like the emperor's direct dialogue with the three dukes.
The emperor abolished the Three Dukes and divided the rights of the Three Dukes into six ministries. The rights of the Six Dukes would be much weakened and could not threaten the emperor's rights. The cabinet was only a policy consultant and could not directly interfere in the emperor's direct governance of the Six Dukes, thus strengthening the emperor's control over the world.
But the world is too big, and there are too many aspects that need to be governed. All the six ministries are piled up in front of the emperor. The smart and diligent emperor is fine. What if the young emperor is not able to govern? What if an incompetent emperor ascends the throne? Such an emperor still has the ability to directly govern the six ministries?
The snake will not leave without a head, from a household to a country. If the leader is not capable, it will definitely cause a lot of chaos. The six ministries are not subordinate to each other, and the emperor who directly leads them is a waste. What should I do? So the cabinet, which was originally just an advisor, became the direct leader of the six ministries, and the cabinet replaced the role of the emperor.
The cabinet replaced the emperor, which was the same as the emperor had no ability to govern the world. The powerful ministers and the three dukes replaced the emperor to govern the world. However, the functions of the three dukes were different. Although there were several members in the cabinet, the cabinet chief minister was the leader of the cabinet members. The cabinet chief minister naturally had greater rights than the prime minister.
But this is what Dong Hu expected.
The power of imperial power is too great. Because the emperor has strong abilities and the country is strong, and because the emperor has weak abilities and the country is weak. It is better to hand over the right to govern the country to a more capable minister.
Of course, rights need to be restricted, at least supervision, and justice needs independence.
Dong Hu was consciously strengthening the rights of civil servants in the cabinet. He was the first generation leader. No matter how powerful the cabinet is, he gave it to him. The cabinet had little constraints on him, but it was not certain for his descendants. But this was a prerequisite for maintaining a country's prosperity. As for whether there would be party struggles... he thought it would be certain. Where there were people, there would be a river and lake. The struggle for power is an eternal existence. He could not solve everything. All he could do was to promote the extreme development of history, and the subsequent things could only be left to later generations to complete.
Military reform has little impact on Dong Buyi. Dong Buyi has had his own promotion, assessment and supervision system since its inception. This system is already advanced than the "recommendation" system of this era. There is no need to make further changes. The only thing that can be changed is the recognition of the general's rank, which is similar to the military rank system in later generations, and it is only further simplified.
The determination of military rank, the clarification of the central imperial guards, the local county soldiers, and the border troops were all decided by Dong Hu. He could allow officials from the cabinet and six ministries to quarrel, but he did not allow the army to have different opinions.
The military reforms were carried out very quickly. Dong Hu ordered the Governor's Office of the Five Army and the Ministry of War to issue military orders to all places, asking Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Siliu, Hanzhong, Chenliu, Yingchuan, Liang Kingdom, and the Protectorate of the South and North Momo to send a list of generals at all levels. After confirmation by the Ministry of War, the ranks of generals at all levels were determined.
Dong Hu has not yet assigned Nanyang County to his jurisdiction, just as he regards Nanyang County as a neutral district and a special zone. He just asked someone to send Gao Shun a letter of appointment letter of "Fourth-rank general" to express his attitude. As for what Gao Shun thinks... he doesn't care much.
The key to the world's hegemony is talents, but not all talents. Dong Hu attaches more importance to the struggle for "power". Once he takes over all the land in Jiangbei and the population, if more than half of the people in the world submit, the general trend is with me, even if others are hundreds of times smarter, they will not be able to make a big splash.
Dong Hu carried out military and political reforms in winter. The outside world has not noticed these changes, but Liangbing and other places are a little confused. Hedong County, Yingchuan County, Chenliu County, and Liang State, which have suffered less losses, have many elderly people from the Liang State gathered in Luoyang regardless of the cold. Liangzhou Prime Minister Yan Zhong, and Liang State Prime Minister Cai Yong, regardless of the safety of the country, gave up everything and rushed to Luoyang day and night...
Dong Hu blocked Hedong and Guanzhong, and others could not know the real situation in Guanzhong. People were so cheap. The more he covered him, the more people didn't want to see him. Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others wanted to open up the view, but they still couldn't see the truth clearly. But they each had a shit. Yuan Shao needed to stare at Gongsun Zan who was unwilling to fail, and at the Black Mountain Army who changed the cannon. It was difficult to put more energy into dealing with Dong Hu.
Cao Cao was even worse than Yuan Shao. Since Liu Dai's death, he had confronted the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou for half a year until the war was dragged to winter, and he had only ushered in the fighter opportunity.
Refugees are refugees, and the failure to last is the most fatal weakness of the Yellow Turban Army. The summer grain they snatched were almost eaten. After winter came, millions of refugees could not be exposed to the wilderness, and they could only retreat and hide in the broken cities. The Yellow Turban Army confronted Cao Cao was also decreasing, and morale gradually declined...
Cao Cao ushered in a fight and fought with the retreating Yellow Turban Army to win, but this victory was of little significance. He defeated only the old and weak behind. The main force of the Yellow Turban Army was not severely damaged, and the strength comparison between the two sides did not change subversively.
The two sides fought back and forth, perhaps Cao Cao's attitude towards the prisoners had changed. He did not kill all the prisoners' Yellow Turban Army, and some Yellow Turban Army began to surrender to Cao Cao on their own initiative.
There are many mountains of the Yellow Turban Army, some are extremely tough, and some are just running around to survive. Once they are frustrated and fall into trouble, there are many people who want to surrender. When a Yellow Turban Army refugee surrenders to Cao Cao, as long as Cao Cao is more kind, it is easy to surrender countless Yellow Turban Army.
Millions of Qingzhou troops bowed their heads, but Cao Cao's troubles had just begun. Countless mouths asked him what he wanted to eat, where did he find so much food?
Cao Cao had not wiped his butt clean, but his eyes were always staring at Dong Hu, fearing that Lintao children would take the opportunity to take the opportunity to take the blame, but until the millions of Qingzhou troops surrendered, Dong Hu did not take the opportunity to send troops. Instead, he laughed in front of the generals' short-sightedness and stupidity. But when Guo Jia sent the news from Chenliu County, Cao Cao felt a sense of crisis in his heart, and he fell into a strange silence when he looked at the letter...
"Thief..."
"Bang!"
"A traitor from usurping the country!"
Cao Cao suddenly slapped the small table and was furious.
"Send the whole army!"
"Cao wants to personally conquer the traitors of usurping the country!"
Everyone was shocked, and Xun Yu hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.
"My lord, please think twice. Our army has just won the battle. It is the uneasy in the army. It is the cold winter month again. The army is short of clothes and food, so what...
"Bang!"
Cao Cao's old face turned red with anger, and he threw the letter in front of Xun Yu.
"Wen Ruo, look... see what that bastard did?"
"Cut the earth and become king--"
Xun Yu was shocked and hurriedly picked up the letter to watch...
"This...this..."
Xun Yu was stunned. The generals didn't know what was going on. Cao Ren was about to ask, and Cao Cao beat the small table again.
"Bang!"
"That bastard is not only a private general, but also... and... "
Cao Cao was so angry that he didn't know how to scold him. He was a private general? Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu... and Cao Cao, who did not appoint a general himself?
From the three ministers to the county magistrates, who did not appoint officials himself? Is this a reason to curse? A group of generals were all confused. At this moment, Guo Jia stepped forward silently.
"What the lord said is right. Dong Hu already has the intention of breaking the earth and becoming king."
As he said that, Guo Jia turned around and looked at the generals.
"Tong Hu had privately appointed generals and officials as the "vassal state commander" ten years ago. These are nothing, but... today he is a general under his name, and the officials are set up ranks, and even the Southern Army and the Northern Army are established with the generals under his name, with the six ministers, and the cabinet supervising all regions, which is like a dynasty of a country..."
"snort!"
Cao Cao was angry for no reason, and Guo Jia turned around and bowed.
"Taizu said that a different surname cannot be king."
"Then Dong Hu already had the intention of breaking up the country and chaotic. The lord should spread it to the world. He should send envoys to Jizhou, Youzhou, Xuzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou, Yuzhou... He should jointly attack the rebel ministers of usurping the country."
After hearing such words, Cao Cao felt anger out of nowhere.
"Millions...millions of hungry people entered our Yanzhou. Yanzhou could not attack the back of Dong Zhe. Just when the old thief Dong Zhuo died, Yuan Benchu, how could Yuan Gaolu not attack the back of him? He also wanted to break the earth and become the king?"
"snort!"
Cao Cao was angry, but he had no good idea. He then looked at Xun Yu after he gasped for a while.
"Wenruo, come and write a proclamation for the attack. Cao... Cao will not give up with the traitors who are usurped by the country! Tell all the princes to jointly attack Dong's traitors!"
Xun Yu opened his mouth...
"My lord, please think twice. The Yanzhou Rebellion has just been quelled, and we should rest with the people..."
Seeing Cao Cao's displeasure, Guo Jia hurriedly grabbed Xun Yu and persuaded him: "Yanzhou is difficult, and Dong Hu and Li Jue and Guo Si are also suffering heavy losses. If the thieves in Liangzhou are not in chaos, and the fight will be a big trouble in the future, Wen Ruo, don't worry too much. Jizhou has more soldiers and abundant food. I think Yuan Shao is more willing to wipe out the thieves in Liangzhou."
Xun Yu opened his mouth. He knew that Guo Jia's words were true and false. There were many soldiers and abundant food. After defeating Gongsun Zan from Jieqiao, Yuan Shao cleaned up the pretext that some families in Jizhou supported Gongsun Zan, and thus obtained a large amount of land, money and grain. However, if Yuan Shao could not reach a reconciliation with Gongsun Zan, if the roads in Jingxing and Fukouxing were blocked, Yuan Shao would not have the idea of going south to besiege Dong Hu.
Jizhou itself is full of dangers, so how can it take out countless money and grain to support Yanzhou? If Yuan Shao doesn’t give money and grain, how can Yanzhou send troops to attack Luoyang?
Xun Yu was silent, his mind was in a mess. Until Guo Jia touched his arm like a reminder, he realized that there were no other people in the hall, and there was a little confusion in his eyes...
"Wenruo."
Guo Jia looked at the snowflakes floating outside the hall and frowned slightly.
"Then Dong Hu does have the resources to be overlords, not because he is strong and brave, but because he knows how to recuperate from the people, which is different from Dong Zhuo..."
"But he is from Liangzhou."
"It's a Qiang person!"
Xun Yu suddenly turned his head, and Guo Jia's face became more serious.
"If you are not a race, your heart will be different."
