Chapter 1001 The road to reform has a long way to go(1/2)
Lord Yang wants to write a lot.
Zhu Houzhao and others were in the house, waiting quietly for him to write.
After finishing writing, he took it to Zhu Hou to take care of it before he was asked to sign and seal it.
Zhu Houzhao was angry at the news just now and didn't want to see these things at all.
He directly handed it to Zhao Ce.
After Zhao Ce took it, he took a rough look.
There are quite a few people, some are officials from the frontier, and a few Beijing officials.
Among them, officials of a high rank were also involved.
Among them, there must be some people whom Lord Yang doesn't know about it.
Looking at the list, Zhao Ce sighed helplessly.
The joy of winning the battle has not yet dissipated, and now we have to deal with the problems in the military camp first.
However, it is time to move these problems.
Otherwise, if such an army goes out to fight, even if it can win, it will suffer huge losses.
After reading it, Zhao Ce said, "Sign up and write, and your highness will take it back to the capital together."
Lord Yang said in a silence: "The criminals have already explained everything clearly."
"What we said..."
Zhao Ce smiled and didn't say it as he said.
"Mr. Yang's testimony can probably be improved."
"Leave some paper and pen to Lord Yang in prison, so that he can write down anything he thinks of at any time."
Lord Yang was taken down.
Zhao Ce collected the list and said to Zhu Houzhao: "This list will be handed over to His Majesty when His Highness returns to Beijing."
After returning to Beijing, Zhao Ce must have gone to the palace to apologize to the emperor first.
However, this matter has to be left to Zhu Houzhao to talk about.
After all, Zhao Ce has no power to control the affairs of the frontier.
This time, I was just helping Zhu Houzhao with the name of helping him.
It is not advisable to interfere in the affairs of the department, and it is even worse to manage the affairs of the department.
The prince has no such concern.
Zhu Houzhao took the list and didn't seem to be very happy.
When I first came out, I met a group of people who killed Liang and took the initiative to win the imperial examination on the frontier.
These people are only a few, and he can still hold back.
But at that time, I was depressed and discussed how to prevent this situation for a long time with Zhao Ce.
After winning a big victory later, those small things were naturally left behind.
However, now that such a thing happened, Zhu Houzhao was very depressed.
Even if it is a big victory, it cannot cover up many problems of the border defense army...
"It turns out that most of the military pay we have in our court is used to raise these borers."
"No wonder Liu Shangshu always wrote to his father, saying that the generals on the frontier were seriously greedy for the military pay and that ordinary soldiers were generally poor."
"But no matter how much military pay the court pays, it cannot reach the hands of ordinary soldiers, what's the use?"
Liu Daxia reported this kind of thing to the emperor almost every year.
It’s nothing more than the upper class of the army’s corruption and the lower class’s life is poor.
Now it seems that the upper class of the army is seriously corruption?
Even the Beijing officials in the capital wished everyone could come in with one foot!
Zhao Ce didn't know how to say it.
He remembered that one time he met a team transporting supplies on his way home from the Firearms Bureau.
At that time, Chen Liang, who was driving a carriage, said that the weight of those baggage trucks seemed to be not very good.
Some cars look like supplies are piled high, but the traces of wheels pressing against the ground are not deep.
There are also some cars, with the same number of people pushing the cart, but there are obviously not many people who contribute.
Now that I think about it, these are all doubts.
After leaving the capital, these baggages have actually lost weight once.
Zhu Hui, who was standing beside him, said: "It is actually very common to have greed for military pay."
"Young Master, don't be angry about this. Your Majesty will come over and investigate after returning to the capital."
Zhu Houzhao angrily said, "What's the use of searching?"
"They have so many ways to deal with it, and they actually thought of giving the materials to the enemy to settle the bill!"
Zhu Hui laughed dryly, thinking that Zhu Houzhao was indeed too young.
It is really not too common to be greedy for military pay.
Even every time he went on a war, he couldn't accept the filial piety below.
How did those people come from?
The Duke of the State knows, but the Duke of the State still accepts everything as he wants.
He didn't want Zhu Houzhao to continue to worry, and he was worried that he would continue to stay here and investigate all these things.
In this way, the frontier will be in peace for a while.
He could only comfort him: "Now that this method has been learned by my master, and the people below will definitely not dare to do it again."
"Your Majesty sends more people to come and thoroughly investigate it, and will definitely give the court a satisfactory explanation."
As he said that, he flattered again: "Fortunately, you are watching this time, or we big guys and bad guys might have missed this matter."
Zhu Hou took a look at him, his eyes a little complicated.
He was very happy to be praised by Zhao Ce.
Because what?
Because Zhao Ce is smart!
But he couldn't be happy to be praised by Zhu Hui, who was not as smart as him.
He just felt that the other party was simply flattering.
Zhao Ce also said: "Military reform cannot be completed overnight."
"In fact, there are many problems not only in the frontiers, but also in garrisons everywhere."
"If your highness wants to start military affairs, he has to study carefully when he goes back."
Zhu Houzhao nodded: "It's necessary to change."
"When I go back, I have to discuss it with my father."
When Zhu Hui saw that his mood had eased a lot, he breathed a sigh of relief.
So he took this opportunity to change the topic and said, "My master just said that he wanted to leave a descendant for Lord Yang, so which descendant should we leave for him?"
"Is it the bloodline of the relatives, or is it better to leave a side branch?"
"I have to write this matter into the memorial and let Your Highness bring it back to Beijing together."
Zhu Houzhao paused for a moment before remembering what happened just now.
Lord Yang’s crimes are unforgivable, and the hands of these people are basically covered with the blood of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
It is no exaggeration to kill such a person many times.
As for whether his family is innocent and whether they can stay, this is not the scope of consideration.
Because when they enjoy the wealth and abundance that Lord Yang brought from the massacre of his compatriots, they would not be out of the matter!
But if Zhu Houzhao agreed, he would definitely have to do it.
However, Zhu Houzhao just said it according to Zhao Ce's words, and he is not sure which descendant to keep.
So he asked, "Dingxi Hou, which descendant do you think we should leave for Lord Yang?"
Zhao Ce replied in surprise: "What descendants?"
Zhu Houzhao was stunned, and Zhu Hui, who was beside him, was also stunned.
Zhu Houzhao repeated: "Well, you didn't say that, if Lord Yang is willing to confess all his promises and make up for his mistakes, then I can give him an extra mercy and leave him one?"
To be continued...
