Gao pragmatic thought carefully and suddenly felt that the most interesting thing in the world is people. No wonder Hong Taizu said, "Fighting with people is endless fun." However, he thought of this not because of who he wanted to fight, but because of who he wanted to fight.
Feeling emotional about Huang Zhiting’s growth and progress.
Han Feizi said, "The prime minister must be from the state department, and the strong generals must be from the army." The Ming Dynasty did not follow what he said. As a result, history proved that the Ming Dynasty was wrong. Of course, many "prime ministers" in the Ming Dynasty did not "start from the state department."
, but he can also be called a good prime minister; many powerful generals are not "born in the army", but they can also be called capable of fighting.
But what about the ratio?
Just because a good prime minister like Gao Gong did not "come from a state" does not mean that a good prime minister does not need to come from a state, because Gao Gong originally came from a family of officials and moved around many places with his father, and he was a Jinshi in his thirties.
Know what problems there are in the place.
Just because a famous general like Qi Jiguang is hereditary, we can't think that strong generals don't have to be sent to the army, because Qi Jiguang almost lost the first battle in his life. If he hadn't relied on his own sharp shot to explode the enemy general's head on the spot, he would probably have won.
The enemy died before he was able to defeat the enemy. It was precisely because of this that he realized that just having the ability was not enough. He had to train an elite army in order to display his commanding skills.
Moreover, how many high arches were there in the Ming Dynasty and how many Qi Jiguangs were there?
Although the children of officials and generals have the advantage of being nurtured and influenced by them since childhood, if you really think about it, the proportion of outstanding talents among them is actually not high. It may be possible to maintain it during the peaceful period, but once the world changes,
, the problem arose.
Think about it at the end of the Ming Dynasty, were there many people in the family of officials and generals who really showed outstanding talents? Not many. It was rare that Wu Sangui was able to use a few brushes, and he was able to surrender. In the end, he hoped that there would be manpower to turn the tide.
Well, it's all a dream.
It can be seen from this that the training of talents in the Ming Dynasty had problems in terms of system and model.
During the civil service reform, Gao Gong once set up "personnel files" for officials all over the world, and often reused some officials with outstanding local achievements. However, as a typical "royalist", his "pattern" in this matter was actually
It's not enough, because the breakthrough of his pattern is the reform made at the level of the Ministry of Personnel, and it also depends on the subsequent Ministers of the Ministry of Personnel to follow his rules, otherwise it will be ineffective.
In Gao Pangshi's view, this kind of reform must start from the top. The cabinet elders were in the Hanlin Academy in their early years, and they have indeed seen how countless senior cabinet ministers handled national affairs, how they drafted votes, discussed them, and how they negotiated with each other.
Dealing with the emperor. However, these are only experiences at the central level. Who knows whether they did it right? Who knows to what extent their policies were finally implemented at the local level and what effect they had?
There must be a central structure, and local experience is also indispensable. If such a person can join the cabinet as an auxiliary minister, I can't say that he will be extraordinary. At least he will definitely be a panacea. At least he will not make stupid mistakes and will consider the problem more comprehensively.
——He will try his best to balance the center and the place.
Huang Zhiting's progress is a bit like this. When she was in her teens, she was forced to take charge of the government affairs of Siming Mansion on behalf of her parents. Although the structure was not big and many things were based on tradition, it was enough to train people. Later, she met Gao
After getting to know each other pragmatically, I gradually discovered that reading is still useful, so I began to slowly improve myself, and at the same time I also discovered the chieftain's ability to lead troops.
But the real progress is that after Gao Pragmatic went north and asked her to "stay behind" in Annan, Huang Zhiting's pattern obviously became higher step by step, and she began to be able to consider issues from the entire Annan. After taking charge of southern Xinjiang this time, this level continued
Improvement, to this day, I can actually find so many problems in a more pragmatic way.
This is certainly related to the fact that Gao Qingshi is too far away from southern Xinjiang and some changes cannot be intuitively understood, but Huang Zhiting's progress must be affirmed.
Her idea overall makes sense, and Gao Pragmatic also admits this. However, after thinking about it carefully, Gao Pragmatic is still sensitive to the fact that she may have her own "little abacus."
This little calculation was not intended to harm him. On the contrary, the source of this little calculation was that Huang Zhiting was still worried that he would be in danger if he continued like this in the Ming Dynasty, so he was very anxious to concentrate the power in southern Xinjiang.
In other words, she actually hopes to give Southern Xinjiang the power to be unafraid of the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, because as long as she has such power, if Gao Jingjing has trouble with the Ming Dynasty, he can retreat to Southern Xinjiang and obtain preservation.
It seems that the last conversation had a great impact on her. She still hopes to choose the safest path and does not want her husband to put himself in danger. Perhaps in her opinion, as long as Gao Jingshi's foundation in southern Xinjiang is strong enough,
When she was so powerful that even the Ming Dynasty was about to surrender, her husband would still be safe even if he was in the capital.
Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but smile, a little bitterly, but mostly happy.
After analyzing Huang Zhiting's mentality, her suggestions are easy to understand.
Since Gao Pragmatic decided to regard Dingnan City, which is under construction by Siam, as the core of southern Xinjiang in the future, Siam's power must be strengthened. This is the main reason why Siam wants to take away half of Cambodia's territory in Huang Zhiting's plan.
At the same time, Annan took away the territory on the southeast coast - roughly equivalent to the part captured by Vietnam in later generations. This is understandable because Annan is the foundation of Beijing in southern Xinjiang, and the southern part of Annan has always been the part directly controlled by Beijing.
, this part was allocated to Annan, which was actually allocated directly to Jinghua.
Gao Pragmatic has been thinking about the Mekong Delta for a long time. Of course Huang Zhiting knows it very well, so she plans to let Jinghua directly acquire this part of the area.
What is interesting is that Nanzhang Kingdom was also assigned to the northeast corner, and Huang Zhiting did not explain the reason.
Although judging from the map, the land allocated by Nanzhang is not large, no more than one-fifth of the Kingdom of Cambodia, and it is also the land of the Bolofing Plateau in the northeast, which is relatively not very rich and suitable for development.
But you must know that Nanzhang Kingdom did not exert any strength in the battle against Cambodia. There is obviously something strange here.
Gao pragmatic thought for a long time and finally guessed a possibility: this land was moved to Huang Yinglei.
In other words, she actually hoped that Gao Pragmatic would transfer Huang Yinglei from northern Annan as early as possible and transfer him to the territory assigned to Nanzhang from Cambodia.
Gao Pragmatic thought about it again and felt that it was not impossible to do so, but it was still 70% beneficial and 30% disadvantageous. The advantages mainly came from two points: First, it allowed Huang Yinglei to be separated from the other Guangxi chieftains, and continued after a break.
The second is that Princess Bijue can "return to Nanzhang", which is conducive to the stability of Nanzhang and to contain her brother. Although her brother is not a big threat in the original history, this can make Nanzhang
The top-level power of the president was divided, which in turn made Jinghua's position more secure.
However, this will also lead to a drawback: Huang Yinglei may also gain a new status as a result. Not only will the ruling area be twice as large, but he will also be able to have some influence over the Nanzhang Kingdom with the help of Princess Biajue's reputation.
This improvement is neither big nor small. If Jinghua only controls one southern country, Gao Pragmatic will definitely not agree to this, but Jinghua has actually controlled almost the entire Indochina Peninsula, so this situation is not too big.
Oops.
Because Gao Pragmatic discovered that according to Huang Zhiting's plan, although Huang Yinglei's strength had increased, his geographical location was very unfavorable for him to "make trouble."
In this position, there is the Vientiane Garrison to the north, the Golden Port Garrison to the east, and the Phnom Penh Garrison to the south. Surrounded by the three major garrison forces, Huang Yinglei, even if he has great abilities, can't figure it out.
Nan's palm.
Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but dumbfounded, and then felt that Huang Zhiting was really not easy.
As a sister, she would still want to give her brother a higher status and more territory, but as a highly pragmatic wife, she would do everything possible to limit the ambitions of this restless brother.
Gao Pragmatic was not angry because he saw through Huang Zhiting's thoughts, but actually felt sorry for her.
What kind of dilemma is this? Just like in the era before he time traveled, he often saw some news about the breakdown of the relationship between husband and wife because his sister was a "little brother-supporting demon". But in the current clan society, it is conceivable that
I know how excited the Huang family chieftains are because of Huang Zhiting's "flying on the branches and turning into a phoenix", and how much they hope that Huang Zhiting will bring them benefits!
This "hope" will definitely turn into pressure on Huang Zhiting, leaving her in a dilemma.
If she had just married into a boudoir like an ordinary woman and ignored the affairs, then maybe the situation would have been a little more relaxed, but now it is very different - Gao pragmatically entrusted all the power in southern Xinjiang to her!
In this case, Chieftain Huang must have thought that "God is helping me" and would definitely try his best to contact Huang Zhiting to ask her to bring more benefits to his family, and they would also take this as a matter of course.
This kind of mentality cannot simply be regarded as "disloyalty". In fact, their loyalty to Gao Wushang may even be the highest at this moment, because Gao Wushang is now the "son-in-law of the Huang family" and they are a family.
However, also because of the customs and habits of this era, Huang Zhiting must always remind herself: from the moment she gets married, her husband's family is her home, and she must act from her husband's standpoint to be a qualified woman.
's wife.
One side is blood, the other side is reason, how to choose? After all, she is only a "little girl" in her twenties.
It seems that her move this time was really made after thinking hard. She spent a lot of time to come up with such a solution that basically has the best of both worlds. No wonder she brought so many people together.
Attached.
In fact, she knew in her heart that under a system like Jinghua, no matter how many people signed up, they could not put real pressure on Gao Pragmatic. It was just like the eunuchs in the palace of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how much they danced, it was only a matter of the emperor's words to kill or behead him.
.
The same is the case in Jinghua. Gao Jingshi is the master, and the people below him are all slaves. Moreover, the master Gao Jingshi not only controls the lifeline of the entire economy, but can also promote and remove anyone at will. Since the people below him are fundamentally the same, then he
Anyone can be replaced. Others are eager to replace the person in charge. No matter how high you are in Jinghua, as long as you say something pragmatic and pragmatic, the people below will not listen to you and will only be overjoyed to replace you. What else can you do?
Possible rebellion?
What's more, the system like Jinghua can actually be regarded as a "modern army" system. As long as your supplies are cut off, your guns and artillery are just like fire sticks, and you have no food or silver on hand. You will start a rebellion.
?
Therefore, Gao Pingshi knew in his heart that Huang Zhiting did this just to hope that he would pay attention to this matter.
This is troublesome, because from his point of view, the Cambodian royal family still needs to be maintained.
Why? Because the Ming Dynasty had an inexplicable sense of "responsibility" for its vassals, especially the issue of "continuation of rise and fall."
At that time, rebel ministers in Annan usurped the throne, and the descendants of the old royal family went through all kinds of hardships to Nanjing to ask for an audience with Zhu Di. When Zhu Di heard about it, he became furious and almost ignored all kinds of opposition and insisted on sending this man back to be the king - he really didn't have it at that time.
An important reason for the annexation of Annan was that the unlucky man who was sent back to be the king died, and the dynasty's bloodline was cut off.
Zhu Di was a little dumbfounded when he saw it. I have sent out all the troops, but your dynasty has no successor? What should I do? I have to take the calculation ball myself, and I can't take advantage of the traitors.
Zhu Di attached great importance to this matter at the time, which of course had something to do with his own improper victory in the country. However, due to the teachings of civil servants, the subsequent emperors of the Ming Dynasty also paid too much attention to the rise and fall of the country. Therefore, if Gao Pragmatic now directly abolishes the Cambodian royal family,
If you drop it, this will definitely set off a wave of scoldings in the Ming Dynasty.
And another point is that Zhu Yijun's position must also be considered. Although Zhu Yijun agreed to capture Cambodia at the time, Zhu Yijun was not sure that he would destroy the Cambodian royal family. From the situation the emperor faced at that time and his
Judging from the context of what he said, he obviously meant that he could turn Cambodia into a second Annan - and only in this way could he agree, because Annan was now considered a vassal, and the Ming Dynasty had gained face.
Therefore, Huang Zhiting wants to wipe out Cambodia directly. Gao Pragmatic cannot agree to it. This will ruin his entire layout.
However, Huang Zhiting's carve-up plan itself is very reasonable, and Gao Pragmatic believes that some changes can be made, dividing this issue into two parts: "apparently" and "actually".
After ordering a cup of strong tea, Gao pragmatically stared at the Kanyu map of southern Xinjiang for a long time, and finally wrote a reply to Huang Zhiting.
"...According to the investigation, the Cambodian ministers have served Siam for many years. Now that they have rebelled and been pacified by me, they should resume their old ways and become the ministers of Siam. In order to reward the capital, Siam can give the eastern part of Cambodia to Cambodia.
...The towns are being reorganized internally in Beijing. My brother-in-law said that since he is married to Princess Nanzhang, he can change the town to Attupo to avoid the princess being homesick... All of the above are all handled in detail by my wife."
