Chapter 622 Poverty is the original sin and also a disease
The Ming Dynasty's policy of detention against the garrison under the Nuergandu Department has several important characteristics: the first is that the appointment, promotion and inheritance of all officials must be decided by the Ming Dynasty's court, such as this time Beligo Tu and his colleagues
The people who were named Thousand or Hundred Houses were all named Thousand Houses or Hundred Houses by the Ministry of War to submit a list of memorials to Zhu Di. Zhu Di personally issued an order so that they could take office; the second point was that they had to obey the orders of the Ming court. If a war occurred, the Nuer Gandu Department would
All officers and soldiers of the garrison must obey the orders of the court and follow the army to fight. For example, when Zhu Di fought against the remnants of the Mongol Yuan several times, he asked Aisin Gioro Mengtemu of the left guard of Jianzhou to follow and send troops together; in addition to this
In addition, there are two other points: when making contributions in a timely manner and when disputes arise, you must obey the handling of the Ming Dynasty.
The garrison used the method of using barbarians to control barbarians. By recruiting tribal leaders in the border areas, they recruited them, gave them official positions, and rewarded them with a large amount of property to buy these tribal leaders, creating a way of "leaving the land to surrender"
.
There are two purposes for this. First, let these alien races serve as a strategic buffer for the Ming Dynasty's border defense front and improve the Ming Dynasty's military and military defense capabilities; second, to prevent alliances between various tribes and appoint all tribe leaders as guard commanders.
The levels are the same, everyone is a level cadre, why do you instruct me?
After saying this, Zhu Gaochi turned around and looked at Li Yunrui and said, "Do you know that if you trade with Wuzhewei, it will break the court's plan for Nuer Gandusi?"
Last night, the Jinyiwei sent the content of the conversation between Li Yunrui and Beligotu to Zhu Di's table. After Zhu Di read it, he transferred the note to Zhu Gaochi and asked Zhu Gaochi to deal with this matter. This was also a test of Zhu Gaochi.
.
Zhu Gaochi was a little puzzled at first, but he thought of these things with Zuo Chunfang's reminder of praising the good.
For the garrison, the Ming Dynasty issued an imperial edict and reward. The imperial edict was an official appointment letter, and reward was a property to the leader. There was no need to pay anything else!
The salary of officers and soldiers? It doesn’t exist! The food and supplies of soldiers? I think it’s so beautiful!
To put it bluntly, the so-called restraint is to win over the leaders. Others are not within the scope of the court's consideration. The Ming Dynasty court made a big fortune by using small things.
Are the heads and minds of the garrison stations stupid? Can't you tell them?
Of course they are not stupid, and of course they know the plans of the Ming court, but they will also choose to surrender to the Ming court on the surface.
Because the Ming Dynasty's military power is too strong, if you don't surrender, it's a death! On the surface, you surrender, do whatever you should do in secret, and you can get official positions and rewards. That's not great?
Besides, all tribe leaders are guard commanders, and no one can command anyone. Isn’t it better to be the boss yourself? I would rather be the head of a chicken than the queen of a cow!
Everyone is calculating their own accounts.
As a result, a situation of more than one strong group and weak group formed in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty. The more powerful group was the Ming Dynasty, the more powerful group was the Tatars, Oirat, and North Korea. The weak group was the Ming Dynasty's garrison.
While the weak group were dependent on the Ming Dynasty, they were also flirting with the Tatars. There was no way. Distant relatives were better than close neighbors. A powerful Tatar could destroy them at any time. Although the Ming Dynasty was a sect leader, it was impossible to send troops to rescue them at any time.
This also caused the garrison to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and people benefited themselves and animals, and they all stood on their own interests.
Using these leaders' selfish wishes to win over them, and then using them to prevent the northern power from becoming stronger and bigger, this is the original intention of Zhu Di to formulate a ban policy.
However, the agreement between Li Yunrui and Xiyangha will break this situation.
If Wuzhewei has a million stones of food in his hand, it will become the most powerful force of Nuergandusi. In order to fill his stomach, many people will rely on Wuzhewei. Once Wuzhewei's hands gather powerful people.
The combat power, the balance of more than 100 wards under Nuergandusi will be broken.
Ambitions are all born. When one hundred wards become stronger, Zhu Di's layout in a few years will be ruined.
After Zhu Gaochi's explanation, Li Yunrui finally understood. After turning his eyes, he said, "Your Highness, does Your Majesty mean a strong and weak branch?"
"You can understand this way!" Zhu Gaochi nodded.
"Uh..." Li Yunrui was speechless for a moment, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said, "Your Highness, can you ask for a question?"
"Say!" Zhu Gaochi stopped, stood at the entrance of the hall, and looked out of the hall.
"Your Highness has been well-read in history books. Can you tell me why there have been changes in dynasties?" Li Yunrui asked.
"This..." Zhu Gaochi turned his head and looked at Li Yunrui, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said, "There are many reasons for this. There are corruption in the administration, which makes the people live in vain; there are foreign invasions; there are powerful ministers usurping the throne..."
Zhu Gaochi began to analyze and summarize the gains and losses of all dynasties from the Qin Dynasty, and spoke in a very clear and magnificent way.
Li Yunrui nodded from time to time and responded.
After half an hour, Zhu Gaochi stopped, looked at Li Yunrui, and said, "Yunrui, I don't know if you agree with what I said!"
"Your Highness's words make sense, but I think the most fundamental reason for the change of dynasties is just one word!" Li Yunrui smiled and said.
"One word? What's the word?" Zhu Gaochi became interested after hearing Li Yunrui's words.
"Poor!" Li Yunrui smiled and said.
"..." Zhu Gaochi was speechless after hearing Li Yunrui's answer, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was something reasonable.
"Your Highness, 99% of the people in this world just want to fill their stomachs and live a stable life. Even Su Qin, who is the chief minister of the Six Kingdoms, once said, but I can have two hectares of land in Luoyang.
The seal of the six kingdoms!" Li Yunrui said, "Whether the administration is corrupt, foreign invasion, or the powerful ministers usurped the throne, the reason why they succeed is that the country is not rich and the people are poor."
"If the country is rich, the people have money and food in their pockets, and the officials are corrupt, at most they are resentful. The court can vigorously punish corruption, and the people will only support the court; if the foreign race wants to invade, the court cannot resist it, the people will
He will also take up weapons, fight to the death, and defend his country; as for the powerful ministers, will he dare to usurp the throne of a peaceful and prosperous emperor?"
"Those who have constant property have perseverance. If the people have a warehouse of grain and a jar of rice, they have spare money in their hands, the young have some education, the elderly have a support, the people who live in their houses, and the illness is cured, will they rise up and rebellion?
”
"Your Highness, think about it, when will the beacon fires appear on the walls of the Ming Dynasty? Are those people unable to survive and have no food to eat, so they will jump into the Great Wall to build grass valleys?"
"Ambitions exist, but ambitions require soil. What is soil? If you are poor, you will be soil! Whether it is a foreign race, whether it is a bandit, even the White Lotus Sect or the Zoroastrian cult, they just capture the people at the bottom.
Only when you are full, don’t wear warm clothes, and you will be able to get things done if you don’t have a house to live in!”
"There are many sins in this world, but poverty is the original sin, and it is also a disease! When people are poor, they have no friends, no relatives, no friendship, and no family affection, so people will become indifferent, jealous, inferior, and begin to hate society.
Hate the court.”
"At this time, whenever there is a hope that may change their lives, they will seize: if the administration is corrupt, they will rise up and gather in the mountains and forests; if foreign races invade, they will act as a leader and a puppet army; if powerful ministers usurp the throne, they will
Climb up..."
"If the country is poor, there is no money to equip a strong army to defend the country; there is no money to popularize education to make the people well-educated; there is no money to invest in the development of advanced weapons to shock the enemy!"
"So, I think your highness can think about it in another way..."
This is the first time that Li Yunrui proposed this idea in front of Zhu Gaochi. He once expressed similar ideas in front of Zhu Di, but Zhu Di did not accept it, so Li Yunrui was preparing to lobby Zhu Gaochi. Zhu Gaochi was still young and could still accept some new ideas.
"This..." After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi felt a little confused about how to reply to Li Yunrui.
