Chapter 326 The ruling class with civil and military existence

The storm of military reform has completely swept the entire Ming Dynasty. Under the storm of military reform that swept the Ming Dynasty, there is also a clear stream that has already begun, spreading to the entire Ming Dynasty like moistening things silently.

And this clear stream is the rectification of the administration that has long begun from the court.

In fact, the rectification of the administration of officials has begun since the Jingji Incident in the first year of Chongzhen, and Chongzhen took over the power.

From the end of the first year of Chongzhen to the death of Chongzhen, Li Xiu accepted the government and also had never relaxed the rectification of the administration.

However, unlike the fierce military reform methods and the rectification of the administration of officials, Li Xiu has always been extremely cautious, and Sun Chuanting and his civil servants who presided over the rectification of the administration of officials were even more cautious.

The courts in the capital have been rectified and cleaned up several times, and then spread from the courts in the capital to the whole world little by little.

The inspectors sent by the imperial court to various places have already inspected the entire Ming Dynasty several times.

Even though most of them are still superficial and have not touched the real realities, it has been several years since the first year of Chongzhen to the end of the first year of Jingwu.

The administrative environment of the Ming Dynasty, at least most of the north, has changed a lot from the past.

"But... it's not enough!"

In the study, Li Xiu sighed quietly, holding the summary of the first year of Jingwu, reported by the Inspectorate.

What is the difference between slight improvement in the face of fiscal and tax reform and erosion in the factual sense?

All are unusable!

As long as it is unusable, any change will be useless.

In the administration of government, if you want to trigger qualitative changes with quantitative changes, it is possible to use a strong center and persist for more than ten years.

But, in the Ming Dynasty today, can it take more than ten years to rectify the administration?

Obviously impossible.

Even if the military reform is fully implemented and the Ming Dynasty will be renewed, if the officials have not rectified Qingming for a long time...

In the end, the result of the Ming Dynasty may be the glory that was almost revived, and then it fell into the abyss like a cliff, leaving behind an eternal masterpiece of "The Ming Dynasty died with great force" in the long history.

After all, erosion will spread.

Being constrained, working diligently, and being a cattle and a horse is a lifetime.

Unrestrained, corrupt, and sensual, and unpunished, it is also a lifetime.

In this way, spreading erosion is inevitable.

Just like the low status of military households, it directly leads to the deterioration of the garrison system, the same is true.

Everyone has thought about good days, and this is how human nature is.

Now, the military system reform has seen the dawn of victory, and the financial and tax reform is not far away. In this way, it is also urgent to have a clear and clear government administration.

After all, it is impossible to succeed in the near-term fiscal and tax reform without a qualified ruling class.

But in a short period of time, it is obvious that it is unlikely to expect civil servants to rectify this subtle way.

Li Xiu never placed his hope entirely on the self-regulation of civil servants.

The reward that was long before Chongzhen's death clearly revealed the layout of Li Xiu and Chongzhen.

After that battle, military merits were relied upon, and Chongzhen broke the pattern of civil servants governing the country with a nearly unspoken reward.

It was also the first time that the Yongwei nobles, led by Li Xiu, participated in military affairs and entered political affairs.

Like Li Xiu's own auxiliary state administration, like Xu Feng's Jizhen Supervisor, and Zhou Yuji's Xuanfu Supervisor.

In the past, these were undoubtedly positions controlled by civil servants.

Undoubted military achievements, coupled with Chongzhen's rewards almost exclusively, brought about the pattern of civil servants governing the country, and a hole was torn apart.

Li Xiu also followed this opening and made another arrangement.

On the grounds that the war in Shaanxi was intensified, Zhou Yuji was promoted to the governor of the three sides, and controlled the entire Shaanxi military and political affairs. Then, on the grounds of important places in Shanhai, Shanhai Town was established, and many prefectures and counties behind Shanhaiguan were included in the jurisdiction of Shanhaiguan. Zhao Wu was the governor of Shanhaiguan and led the military and political affairs of Shanhaiguan.

The important town of Denglai was established, and the Denglai Navy was appointed, and Lu Xiang was promoted to the governor of Denglai, and he was under the jurisdiction of a large area of ​​Denglai in Dongjiang.

This time, on the grounds of preventing Mongolia from knocking on the border, a three-border governor was set up to include all military, political and political affairs in the prefectures, counties and important towns under the jurisdiction of Jizhen, Xuanfu, Datong and the three major border towns under the jurisdiction of the three-border governor.

In addition, he was in charge of the capital and strictly controlled the Zhili area. In this way, most of the north, in fact, whether it is military or political, is under his control. The only difference is that it is more meticulous rectification.

And this, he had already issued an order. Hong Chengchou's effectiveness was caused by Zhou Yuji's purge and rectification of the Shaanxi officialdom.

Such behavior naturally aroused strong dissatisfaction among civil servants.

But in this center of the court, it is obvious that there is no storm, but as far as the whole world is concerned, the storm is naturally not small.

The slogan of Qingjun that is still preached now, and even this time the world is rebelling. In fact, there are quite a reason for this.

In fact, Li Xiu didn't think that this slogan was wrong. After all, military and political affairs were controlled by warriors, and the lessons were learned in all dynasties.

It is like the position of governor of the three sides, with three towns and one province under its jurisdiction, and all military and political control are in charge. In a sense, there is no difference between it and the vassal states.

Even though he knew the consequences, Li Xiu had no choice. He took the least of his powers. In special times, centralization is always better than splitting power. He could only choose this way to take the hope in his own hands.

Besides, he was confident that as long as he was alive, the disaster of the vassal state would not happen. What's more, as long as the problem he wanted to solve was finally solved, he naturally would not allow the power of military and political integration to continue within the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Only by separation of military and political affairs and checking and balanced civil and military affairs can one confine one's ambitions within a certain range, and not break through boundaries and do irreversible things.

As his thoughts flowed, Li Xiu was even considering whether he really wanted to completely break the tacit understanding with civil servants and start an era of focusing on martial arts over literature?

It is too difficult to expect civil servants to cut their own flesh on themselves.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is undeniable that the efforts of Sun Chuanting and several ministers of the ministry were not something they could do with their efforts.

But if the warriors completely kick off the prelude to the rule of the country, it will undoubtedly cause a thousand waves and cause a lot of storms again.

"Bang!"

Just as Li Xiu was thinking, the door suddenly thumped open, Li Xiu frowned and his eyes turned away instantly.

But when he saw the figure pushing the door out, Li Xiu's frown also instantly relaxed.

"Brother Xiu!"

"You guys are here again, right?"

Li Xiu shook his head helplessly: "You guys wait, the foreign generals will not report to Beijing. At the latest tomorrow, there will be a lot of memorials on my desk that impeach you."

"Hehe, you are not here, Brother Xiu. Let them impeach. Anyway, no matter how much they impeach, you will deal with it."

Erwazi smiled and looked careless.

"I see you're itchy again."

Li Xiu looked at Erwazi in anger, walked to the tea table in the room and sat down. He picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea and handed it to Erwazi. He asked casually: "How is the Governor of the Three-Border?"

"It's not bad, but there are a lot of disobedient people!"

Erwazi took the tea and drank it all, smashing it: "I have arrested a lot of people by using Mongolia to knock on the edge this time, and I am now under trial!"

"Those civil officials are really elusive. When I first took office, I looked stinky and hard. After I killed a group of people, I immediately became honest. But I always had one thing in person and one thing behind my back. I didn't spoil them. Whoever dared to do this would catch anyone..."

Hearing this, Li Xiu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. He naturally knew the situation on the three sides. Now, where these martial artists hold military and political power, they would do whatever they want and kill them.

In this court, he had to hurry to wipe the butts of these messengers.

Not only should we face pressure and opposition from court officials, but we should also promptly dispatch new officials to fill the gaps.

However, nowadays, where Erwazi and other military men hold military power are basically taboo places for civil servants.

Whenever an official is short of officials and transfers people to the house, most of them would rather go to the office than go.

Moreover, a tacit understanding between civil servants has basically been formed.

Even if he didn't go, he obviously wanted to see how he, the Duke of Qin, ended without officials, or in other words, forced him, to bow his head.

If only some officials were unwilling to go, Li Xiu could accept it, but if there was a tacit understanding of almost the whole, Li Xiu would naturally not spoil them or compromise at all.

After the military order, a large number of military generals with cultural foundation were selected. After a brief training, they were sent to prefectures and counties with shortage of officials and temporarily implemented military control.

For this reason, he had to spend a lot of manpower and material resources, and take multiple measures to keep an eye on the generals sent to the local area.

The facts are very touching. Even if he carefully selected and cultivated it, one or two of them could barely be useful in ten.

But even so, it is undoubtedly a great thing for Li Xiu.

With the rise of martial arts, the situation of civil and nobles and military dignity was broken, and even the momentum of martial arts was vaguely controlled by martial arts, it attracted many talents to join the army. In this way, the quality of the army was greatly increased.

He commanded hundreds of thousands of troops. Now, with the continued military reform, this number is still spreading rapidly. Such a large base undoubtedly gives him enough confidence.

The Duke of Qin did not need civil servants, but could govern the country well. Even if the military orders were implemented and the military orders were as efficient as the mountain, they were much more efficient than the civil servants' governance.

In this way, for him, the civil servant naturally no longer has the necessary nature of the past, and of course he has no tolerance for the civil servants.

If you don’t want to go, don’t become an official. Just dismiss the official position on the grounds of resisting the order and never hire it.

Subsequently, he also directly opened a Civil Affairs Department in the Martial Arts Academy, intending to allow students of the Martial Arts Academy to go on horseback and dismount their horses to herdsmen.

But what is funny is that when he was sure that Duke Qin did not need civil servants, could also guard the people, and could also govern the world, the scene where he was dismissed from office and was not appointed to the government disappeared silently.

Li Xiu was naturally happy with this. He was like playing chess. He dispatched a civil servant to take office, and then sent another military general to take office. The civil and military fight were having a lot of fun.

As for the voices opposing military generals and herdsmen, they are naturally still violent.

However, Li Xiu had never retreated a step when the world was rebelling. Now, how could he retreat at all?

The policy of starting a horse to govern the army and dismounting a horse to govern the people is no matter how terrifying the future disasters will be, but at present, he needs this kind of centralization and the ruling institution of the Ming Dynasty to implement his will as if he were to implement military orders.

If a civil servant is worth using it, he will use civil servants. If a civil servant is not worth using it, he will use military personnel to force literati and implement the strategy of survival of the fittest!
