Chapter 245: Seize Military Power, Release Political Power, And Gain The Morale Of The Military In T
Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was quite satisfied with the revised and improved cabinet system, and the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, Yan Changqing shook his head lightly and reminded:
"Whether it is the power of the prime minister represented by Zhongshu Sheng and the prime minister, or the power of the cabinet and the cabinet ministers, they are essentially just a part of the political power within the power of the emperor.
"Political power is part of the emperor's power, but it is not all of the emperor's power, let alone the foundation of the emperor's power!!!"
"If you worry too much about the size of your subordinates' political power, you will fall into inferiority."
"The foundation of the emperor's power lies in military power!!!"
"As long as the emperor firmly holds the military power, even if one day the power of the prime minister or the cabinet threatens the emperor's power again, as long as the military power is in hand, the regime can be smashed to pieces at any time!!!"
"If political power is the power to set rules for the world and let everyone play chess according to the rules on the chess table."
"Then military power is the power to overturn the table, break the rules, and make one's own rules again!!!"
"Such as the previous rebellion by Hu Weiyong, if we look at it solely from the perspective of political power.~"
"Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, Korean Duke Li Shanchang and other important officials of the imperial court, plus a large number of middle and lower-level military officers and nobles, the political power controlled by these people is almost comparable to that of His Highness!!-!"
"But so what?!!"
"His Majesty Ying Tian Mansion, the 300,000 troops outside the capital remained motionless. Only the left and right palace guards, left and right government troops, and a group of imperial guards controlled by your highnesses were able to easily quell the rebellion started by Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others. "
“During this process, even the people of Yingtian Mansion were not greatly disturbed.
"There is nothing terrible about the fact that ministers hold political power."
"Even the reason why I told you that Your Majesty has not truly and completely taken back power is because I just wanted to tell Your Majesty and Your Highnesses."
"The power of the emperor lies in distributing the power of the world, rather than clinging to it.
"Because facts have proven that the emperor alone cannot support the huge power of the world, nor can he firmly grasp the power of the world by himself!!!"
"In terms of political power, the most important thing for the emperor is to know how to reasonably delegate and decentralize power."
"The ministers govern the people, and the emperor governs the ministers. This is the way to govern the world."
"But if the ministers try to get involved in the military power after taking control of the political power, then they will be punished."
"Whenever an emperor begins to be restricted by his subordinates, it is usually when the world begins to escape his control.
"Therefore, your Majesty and your Royal Highnesses will know which one is more important than military power or political power."
Under the podium, Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, all lowered their heads slightly, thinking and chewing on the words Yan Changqing said.
After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head, looked at Yan Changqing seriously and said sincerely:
"Been taught a lesson!!!"
Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes all stood up together, bowed to Yan Changqing, and said in respect:
"Mr. Xie Yan, please teach me!!!"
Yan Changqing nodded slightly and accepted the courtesy from the princes calmly.
After all, based on what he said, he could still afford the courtesy from the princes.
After the ceremony, King Yan Zhu Di raised his head and looked at Yan Changqing with some interest and asked:
"Then Mr. Yan, how can Yi Yi better control the world's military power?!!"
As soon as these words came out, Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan and other princes also looked at Yan Changqing curiously, waiting for Yan Changqing's answer.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Yan Changqing with interest. To be honest, he had quite a lot of experience in how to control the world's military power.
Also taking advantage of Hu Weiyong's rebellion not long ago, he also took the opportunity to abolish the Metropolitan Governor's Office that managed the country's military and divided it into five military governor's offices of center, left, front, rear, and right, and restrained each other with the Ministry of War.
The Ministry of War has the power to issue orders, but it does not directly command the army.
The Dudufu is in charge of the management and training of the army, but it does not have the power to directly dispatch the army.
In this way, the military power of the world was even more concentrated in the hands of the emperor.
When he thought of the rebellion of Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh.
【Rebellion is really good, rebellion is wonderful!!!】
It turns out that when Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others were here, the Ming Dynasty had been founded for 12 years, and the power structure of the court had gradually stabilized.
Even he cannot easily change the previous power structure of the court, otherwise it will definitely cause strong resistance and resistance from all the civil and military officials of the court.
However, after Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others rebelled and were captured, there was a rare emptiness at the top of the original power structure of the court.
During this period, no matter what adjustments he made to the power structure of the imperial court, it would not lead to organized and large-scale strong resistance and resistance from the civil and military officials of the imperial court.
Moreover, at this time, the rebellion cases of Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others have not yet been settled, and anyone may be identified by him as the rebel accomplices of Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others.
Therefore, in order not to be involved in the rebellion case of Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others, he was implicated in the Nine Clan.
Now all the civil and military officials in the court have no objection no matter what Zhu Yuanzhang says or does, and they act like they are 100% obedient.
Therefore, regardless of whether Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister system, abolished the Zhongshu Sheng, and promulgated the official salary system of basic salary + reward commission + performance appraisal.
Or reunify the hierarchical system of local administrative regions across the country into the four poles of provinces, capitals, states, and counties, or abolish the Metropolitan Governor's Office and replace it with the Fifth Army Governor's Office, etc.
At this moment, the power structure of Ming Dynasty has become a toy that can be dressed up by Zhu Yuanzhang. No matter how Zhu Yuanzhang changes it, no civil and military officials dare to have an objection.
Looking at the curious princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, Yan Changqing said casually:
"There are many ways. For example, there are 300,000 Beijing troops outside Yingtian Mansion. Yin Zhi visits the Beijing troops every seven days to see how they are training and doing things.
"First, let the 300,000 Beijing troops know what the emperor they died for is like."
"Secondly, it can also supervise the training of the 300,000 Beijing troops and ensure the combat effectiveness of the Beijing troops, while preventing the situation of empty pay."
"In addition, the salaries of officers and soldiers must not be in arrears, and the corresponding pensions must be ensured to effectively fall into the hands of the families of the fallen soldiers."
"At the same time, we can also set up a monument of heroism in front of the Ancestral Temple to unify the day every year."
"The emperor, together with all the civil and military officials, worshiped all the soldiers who unfortunately died in battle for the Ming Dynasty and for the Miao city before and after the founding of the Ming Dynasty!!!"
"In addition, every five or ten years, the Ming Dynasty military parade can be held to select brave divisions from all over the world to form an army of hundreds of battles, and be reviewed by His Majesty and the people of the world in front of Yingtian Mansion, etc."
"They are all things that are difficult to say, it just depends on whether you are willing to do it with your heart."
"As long as you really work hard, you will naturally gain the morale of the military in the world and firmly control the military power in the world."
...........
After listening to what Yan Changqing said, Zhu Yuanzhang and the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes fell into silence and thought again.
After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and looked at Yan Changqing solemnly and said:
"We know, maybe we can't do other things."
"But we will definitely do all the things you just said!!!"
Yan Changqing nodded, and then thought for a while, there should be nothing missing in this lecture on "Dragon Slaying Technique".
After all, the most important right to speak in public opinion has been discussed, as well as the method of how to kill people, punish people's hearts, and seal the coffin.
As long as Zhu Yuanzhang can implement the methods he said in the future, it should be no problem to completely nail Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others to the pillar of shame that will last forever.
"Then today's lecture on "Dragon Slaying Technique" will end here. As for the potato harvest time, let it be seven days later."
"I dug a potato before, and it is basically mature and can be harvested."
As soon as Yan Changqing said these words, a look of excitement and joy appeared on the faces of all the princes present, including Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, and Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, etc.
...O
"I'm finally mature!!!"
"At least twenty shi of potatoes per acre!!!"
"The potatoes planted this time are spread out over an acre. I don't know how much the actual harvest will be.'
"Let's make a bet. I bet the yield per acre is about twenty-five stones!!!"
"Then I'd better be on the safe side [and just bet on the least amount of local cloth being produced."
"I bet the yield per acre is around 28 shi!!!"
"You are all too timid. Mr. Yan said that the maximum yield of potatoes per mu is fifty dan. Even if there is not the highest yield per mu, there should still be an intermediate number. I bet the yield per mu is thirty dan!!! "
Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes each excitedly speculated on the potato yield per mu this time.
Even Queen Ma, who had been quiet all this time, couldn't help but look at Yan Changqing. Taguchi asked:
“How much does Mr. Yan think the potato yield per mu will be this time?!!”
After all, Empress Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang had actually taken care of the potatoes at the Agricultural College for three months. It was only after Hu Weiyong's rebellion was captured that Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma left the Agricultural College and returned to the palace.
Facing Queen Ma's question, Yan Changqing chuckled and shook his head:
"I don't know the exact number of acres of production. I can only say that your highnesses' guesses are possible."
However, Yan Changqing's answer made Queen Ma even more excited.
After all, the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes had just guessed that the lower limit was twenty dan and the upper limit was thirty dan.
Not to mention the upper limit of 30 dan, these people have never really seen even the grain yield of 20 dan per mu in their lives.
"Let's go back now to prepare arrangements for the potato harvest!!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately couldn't restrain his excitement, and immediately stood up, preparing to go back and immediately arrange for the potato harvest in seven days.
