Chapter 1229 Jia Heng: He is now afraid that Tian Niuer will get pregnant first (please
Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army
After meeting Wu Xun, the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army, Jia Heng came to the yamen office of the Commander-in-Chief of the Rear Army. He sat behind the desk and was flipping through the inventory of soldiers archived in the Governor-General's Office of the Fifth Army. His brows were furrowed and his face was deep in thought.
Chen Han's garrison was inherited from the previous Ming Dynasty. The garrison was under the jurisdiction of the Dusi, and the Dusi was under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies. If we look at the number of soldiers, the number of soldiers in the country and the border troops is nearly two million.
In fact, maintaining such a standing force is a huge burden for the country's finances. Therefore, the Fifth Army Governor's Office also has military affairs. That is, the Fifth Army Governor's Office is responsible for taking charge of the country's military affairs and is used to maintain military affairs at local garrison posts.
Self-sufficient.
Jia Heng's face showed contemplation, and he murmured in his heart, "Actually, it is the border army that maintains too large a border reserve, and the other reason is that the military system of the local superior guard is corrupt and the garrison administration is corrupt."
It is impossible for a provincial capital to have no more than 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses, but during the garrison, there were a large number of military landlords and local powerful men who occupied acres of land and employed ordinary sergeants, forming a de facto relationship between landlords and farmers.
As recorded in the previous Ming Dynasty: "In the early days of the People's Republic of China, the 20 Guards in Guizhou established fields and ponds totaling more than 957,600 acres."
Decades later, it was discovered that "the fertile land was occupied by wealthy officials, and the poor sergeants had no land to cultivate. The sergeants' wives, without food and clothing, had to cut out fern roots to survive. The sergeants swallowed their hatred and had nothing to complain about."
This kind of thing must exist widely in the corners of today's Han Dynasty.
Jia Heng was thinking about this, so he found a clerk and asked: "Li Ge, Mr. Li, went to Shanxi to check the military settlements in Bianzhen. He went to the Ministry of War to ask if there is anything that can be sent by urgent delivery."
As the Second Assistant to the Cabinet and the Minister of the Ministry of War, he conducts local research and disposal, and reports are regularly sent to the Ministry of War for the consideration of all military aircraft.
The scribe nodded and went.
At this time, Xie Zaiyi looked solemn and said: "Commander Jie, the local farmland is controlled by many military generals. With the help of the civil servants in the Military Aircraft Department alone, we can only briefly sense the situation, and may not be able to move these generals."
Jia Heng said: "Li Gelao went to Shanxi, and King Chu went to Shandong. The Governor's Office of the Fifth Army also organized a group of people to go with the officers of the Military Aircraft Department to Sichuan, Huguang, and Liangjiang to sort out the soldiers and garrison the government. As for Fujian,
Zhejiang and Guangdong will not move for the time being."
In fact, these are the places where military settlements have more acres of farmland, while Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong have very few grain fields.
There are border towns in Shanxi, including Taiyuan and Datong. The main generals and commanders who were previously reorganized did not involve farming, and it is not yet known what kind of thunder will break out.
It can be said that the entire Han Dynasty achieved several victories in the 16th year of Chongping, just as he originally told Emperor Chongping, using a huge victory to serve as a catalyst for innovation.
Today's New Deal, as well as the military and military settlements and the inspection of health stations, are all the comprehensive rollout of this innovative strategy.
In other words, he has been following the memorial he had made with Emperor Chongping when he was in the study, as well as the "Pinglu Ce", proceeding steadily and steadily, without escaping or rashly advancing.
Xie Zaiyi said: "Jie Shuai, did you just mention that you want to abolish the local health station?"
Jia Heng said: "It's not about abolition, but about rationally planning the defense of the garrison based on the defense situation in different provinces. Last year, we rectified the salt affairs and opened up sea trade, but it was not enough to increase revenue. Now we are cutting expenditures. The country has as many as one hundred sergeants."
Ten thousand, but the number of usable troops is only twenty or thirty. If things continue like this, the country will be weak. How can we defend the country from the outside?"
From beginning to end, he only helped Chen Han win several major battles through his personal general strategy and hard work. In addition to the rectification of the river affairs, salt affairs, and Beijing camp, Chen Han's corruption and incompetence in the military and political system and his continuous blood loss
, and no overall improvement has been achieved.
Of course, the rectification of the salt affairs, customs, and Beijing operations reshaped the prestige of the central government, enriched the national treasury, and laid a solid foundation for eliminating long-standing abuses.
Xie Zaiyi cupped his hands and said, "What Commander Ji said is true."
Jia Heng looked silent and said, "I'll go to Jingying to have a look tomorrow."
While in the capital, you should not linger too much in the flowers. You should also go to the capital camp to watch the sergeants' drills.
After a while, the clerk came back with a smile on his face and complimented him: "The Duke is really amazing. The Ministry of War really has the Shanxi garrison and administrative account books sent by Mr. Li Ge, saying that he wants to deliver military aircraft."
I asked for a copy from my office."
Jia Heng nodded, took the Chen, opened the memorial, and looked carefully, his eyes flickered, and his face moved slightly.
Li Zan went to Shanxi for nearly two months, mainly to inspect the soldiers and rectify the garrison administration.
As for the former, because Taiyuan and Datong had already been investigated and bloodbathed by Jia Heng in the 16th year of Chongping, only the military affairs of the guards and farming were affected.
The two factors were superimposed. When Mr. Li Ge came to Shanxi, he vigorously searched and arrested the illegal generals in the guard station. There were 38 generals and majors, 543,000 acres of land were traced, and 725,000 stolen silver was confiscated.
two.
Jia Heng said: "Look, this is just a province in Shanxi, and there is not much land for military garrison."
With that said, he handed the inventory in his hand to Xie Zaiyi who was standing aside.
Xie Zaiyi took the inventory, read it, and said, "It's shocking. It shows the corruption of garrison administration in the world."
Jia Heng said: "Huguang, Shandong, and Sichuan are also places seriously affected by the disaster. I recommend you to the Holy Spirit as the Minister of Military Aircraft, with full responsibility for the military affairs of Huguang."
"Jie Shuai." Xie Zaiyi's heart was shocked when he heard this, and he looked at the young man excitedly.
The Minister of Military Aircraft can obviously predict aircraft maintenance, so what virtue and ability does he have?
Jia Heng said: "Since the Prince of Nan'an County withdrew from the Military Aircraft Department, I have often been away from home. The Military Aircraft Department lacks military personnel to sit in charge and help the Holy One sort out the affairs of the northwest and Tibet. After you enter the Military Aircraft Department, you should advise on national policies in terms of military affairs.
"
It was time for Xie Zaiyi to enter the military aircraft department. Moreover, the military aircraft minister had no fixed title, but in the Han Dynasty, civil and military officials were cabinet ministers and privy ministers.
Afterwards, Jia Heng, Xie Zaiyi and other generals from the Fifth Army Commander's Office had lunch and went to the palace to report.
…
…
Daming Palace, inner study room
It was mid-afternoon, and the lazy sunlight shone on the jade steps in front of the palace, making it as clear as jade.
Emperor Chongping was sitting behind a mahogany desk, with thin and loose eyebrows, his eyes focused, lowering his head while reviewing memorials, but his face was so thin that his cheekbones were almost exposed.
Two episodes of vomiting blood and fainting in the 15th year of Chongping and the 16th year of Chongping had already severely weakened the emperor's vitality, and each time he recovered from the illness, he devoted himself to government affairs.
Dai Quan reported: "Your Majesty, Duke Wei is asking for an audience outside the palace."
Emperor Chongping was surprised. He raised his head with a thoughtful look on his face and said loudly: "Ziyu is here, Xuan."
After a while, Jia Heng entered the palace and saluted the emperor.
Emperor Chongping asked: "What brings Ziyu here?"
Jia Heng said: "Your Majesty, just now Li Ge Lao's memorial was delivered to the Ministry of War, which mentioned the inventory of soldiers and garrison affairs in Shanxi Province. After thinking about it, the ministers suggested that your Majesty should conduct a comprehensive inventory of the soldiers and fields in the garrison of the Han Dynasty.
Save the country’s military spending.”
After hearing this, Emperor Chongping said: "I have previously sent the King of Chu to Shandong, together with Baolinghou Shi Nai, to inspect Dingkou, Shandong and set up government."
Jia Heng said: "We think that in addition to Shanxi and Shandong, we should also send ministers to Liangjiang, Guanzhong, Bashu, Huguang and other places to check the garrison administration. According to Li Ge's memorial, Shanxi has recovered hundreds of thousands of acres of unregistered land."
, hundreds of thousands of taels of stolen silver."
With that said, he handed the palace copy in his hand to Emperor Chongping.
To put it bluntly, this is an anti-corruption campaign targeting the military.
Emperor Chongping took the memorial from Dai Quan, raised his eyes to look at the young man in python suit, and said: "Zi Yu, if we conduct a nationwide investigation of the guardsmen, will the local guards cause trouble? The local guards are not as good as this."
Elsewhere, military generals may gather private troops to cause chaos."
Jia Heng pondered and said: "Your Majesty, several Wuhou and military generals in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion have made great achievements in battle. This time, they will lead the soldiers and guards to cooperate with the Military Aircraft Department to organize the guard post. With them in charge, the local military generals will never dare to act rashly.
, Moreover, troops such as the Beijing Camp and the Jiangnan Camp can go to nearby provinces to suppress us at any time."
He did not mention Henan Prefecture Guards, otherwise Emperor Chongping would have some bad associations.
Emperor Chongping thought for a moment, smiled lightly, and said: "If you say this, it is absolutely foolproof."
Comprehensive inventory of the local health station system and sorting out the district administration is indeed a generous undertaking, and it can also come up with corresponding preventive measures.
How can a mediocre heir control such a person?
River affairs, salt affairs, military affairs, military administration... all are excellent.
Emperor Chongping's eyes couldn't help but look a little complicated, and he said: "I asked you and Shi Qing from the Military Aircraft Department to examine the conduct and talents of the officers in the capital and recruit them to the Military Aircraft Department. Do you have any recommendations?"
Jia Heng said: "Wei Chen believes that the original purpose of establishing the Military Aircraft Department is, firstly, to provide consultation to the Holy Majesty on aircraft affairs; secondly, to assign the Holy Majesty to supervise local military affairs; thirdly, to be able to write and communicate with six ministries and hundreds of divisions, and all provinces, prefectures and counties.
The second one is to ask Wu Xun, the governor of the Fifth Army, to go to the local area. The third one is to be the secretary of the cabinet and the chief minister to prepare official documents. Therefore, the military aircraft department originally did not have a quota of personnel, qualifications, and promotions.
The circulation is just like the original official."
To put it bluntly, the original officials are still being transferred to the Six Ministries and Hundreds of Divisions.
Emperor Chongping nodded, looked at the young man in the python suit with complicated eyes, and said: "This has covered everything. I'm afraid that in one or two years, the bad policies of the local guards will be wiped out. If the Four New Policies are widely spread in the world, the great Han Dynasty will be rejuvenated.
It’s not far off.”
He is truly experienced in government affairs, has the talent of a royal assistant, and is so young and promising. His future is limitless.
It can be said that as Emperor Chongping gradually felt physically weak, this feeling that the ministers were strong but the emperor was weak, and it was difficult for his descendants to subdue him, would only become more and more common.
It's like the feeling of a billionaire in a family business who is getting old and sees his son-in-law being more capable than any of his sons.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, cupped his hands and said, "Without the great efforts and hard work of the Holy One, there would never have been the opportunity to eradicate the long-standing evils."
"Where is the specific candidate?" Emperor Chongping looked at the boy in the python suit and asked casually.
Jia Heng said: "Your Majesty, I have recommended the Marquis of Runan, Wei Qi. In addition, I think that Marquis Zhongqin can be the Minister of Military Aircraft. He will go to Huguang to inspect the military camps, soldiers, and strictly enforce military affairs. As for the cabinet secretary, this is something that I am not familiar with.
We can only leave it to Sir Shi to examine the candidates."
He was a military commander, so he could only talk about things he knew well, and he vaguely felt something was strange.
Emperor Chongping nodded and asked: "What Zi Yu said is true. The generals of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion had previously entered the military base as usual."
There's nothing unusual about it, you're still modest and cautious, but why do you still feel a little... uneasy?
In fact, this is the instinctive vigilance of an emperor.
If it hadn't been for the unrest in Liaodong and the Jurchens outside the Pass, the emperor felt that he could survive for another three to five years, and he would have been stuck in his throat, unable to vomit and feel unhappy.
Emperor Chongping suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart, looked as usual, and asked casually: "When will Ziyu marry Yaruo, the daughter of King Le'an and King Meng?"
In fact, this is another subconscious inquiry. Is womanizing really the weakness of the young man in front of me?
But the emperor was not aware of this subconsciousness and just asked casually.
Jia Heng speculated on Emperor Chongping's intentions and said: "Your Majesty, I am not in a hurry. I want to wait a little longer."
Emperor Chongping looked a little solemn and said: "It would be better to choose a date to get married in the near future. When the two princesses were given the marriage, there were countless impeachment memorials in the capital, saying that I allowed the daughter of the clan to become someone else's concubine and insulted the dignity of the heavenly family. It is unacceptable."
Being decent and getting married early can also settle any disputes."
Although he was a civil servant, he did not prevent some officials from criticizing Jia Heng.
If we can say that Ning Rong and Ning Rong can have both, what about Yaruo and Chen Xiao?
Is it also a dual role?
Of course, this seemingly "absurd" configuration just poured dirty water on Jia Heng, and it continued to pour dirty water on him in order to erase his achievements.
As time goes by, the original few big wins seem to be insignificant.
This can be said to be a common practice for civil servants to deal with military generals who have made great achievements in battle.
Jia Heng said: "Wei Chen will get married during this time. Xiaoxiao and Yaruo urged it the day before yesterday, as well as the Xue family."
Emperor Chongping looked at the young man and said, "The Xue and Lin families will stir up a lot of controversy in the future. Only Xianning is tolerant and generous enough to allow you to flirt with women like this."
It can only be said that the hero is sad about beauty. I asked Dai Quan to investigate earlier. It is said that not only Chai Dai, but also nuns are pregnant with his flesh and blood...
It's totally unseemly, but that's fine.
When Jia Heng heard this, he was horrified and said quickly: "Father, Xianning is so generous to her son, but I don't know how to repay her."
It can be said that this sentence is more like a confession of Emperor Chongping, that is, I have great talent and broad strategy, so I can tolerate a minister like you.
When he suddenly mentioned marriage again, it was obvious that Xiao He's method of self-destruction had not completely dispelled Emperor Chongping's suspicion.
Emperor Chongping looked at the young man calmly and said, "She has been living in Xianning for a while. When will you have a child, I can hold my grandson."
In fact, there should be no need to worry. Those girls are all in Beijing, and Xianning is by the side, so there shouldn't be anything wrong.
Jia Heng said warmly: "Xianning has also urged his ministers on this matter, maybe within these few months."
He is now afraid that Sweet Girl will get pregnant first...she comes home with a full load every time.
Sometimes I really don't blame him, I really wish that Kunning...in the palace.
Well, thinking about this in front of this emperor is a bit too harsh... Well, no, it's too ridiculous.
Emperor Chongping warned: "You have been staying well in Beijing for the past month or two. You have been busy for the whole last year. You have spent less time with your family and been away from them more. Recently, you have been spending time with your family at home."
Except for the preparations for the naval division in Shandong and the attack on North Korea, Ziyu was not allowed to do some things, and Duoduo was assigned to other generals.
He must let Xianning give him a son as soon as possible. After having a child, there will be a bond.
In fact, the so-called weakness is that since ancient times, it has been quite rare for me to take a piece of the pie like Liu Bang did.
Most people still can't get rid of the fetters of their wives and children.
Hearing this, Jia Heng seemed a little embarrassed on his face. He coughed and cupped his hands and said, "If there is nothing else to do, I'll take my leave first."
I don't know if it was his misunderstanding, but I always felt that there had been some subtle changes in the emperor's attitude towards him.
In other words, the emperor's dragon body has undergone some new changes. He seems to have lost a lot of weight, and his face does not look good.
After Jia Heng left the study room in the Daming Palace, he couldn't help but stop in front of the palace, raised his eyes to look at the sunlight in the sky, and savored the conversation just now. For some reason, a piercing chill suddenly arose in his heart.
Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, and the emperor's character seems to have undergone new changes.
And looking at the emperor's face just now, the dragon body is indeed a little hesitant. Maybe it can last another year or two?
If Liaodong had not yet been decided, and the Jurchens were eyeing him, I am afraid that he would have accepted Emperor Chongping's power to suppress him.
After Jia Heng left the inner study, Emperor Chongping opened a memorial and it was written clearly that Duke Wei was preparing a naval academy in the south of the Yangtze River.
Miaoyu moved to her father's tomb, but Miaoyu was actually a nun, and Miaoyu was already pregnant with the flesh and blood of Duke Wei...
The case of Miaoyu's father Suzhou Zhi Changjin was finally discovered by Shang Yong, the former Jinyi commander, when the tomb was being moved, and he immediately reported it to Emperor Chongping.
"Shang Yong didn't investigate the remnants of King Zhao properly, and then he made such heart-breaking remarks." Emperor Chongping gently closed the secret book and threw it aside. His eyes were as bright as water. He turned to look at Dai Quan and said softly: "
Send someone to tell Shang Yong and let him find out Chen Yuan's whereabouts."
Dai Quan was startled and whispered: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Not daring to say anything, he turned around and left the study room.
Emperor Chongping looked out the window at the vast and dim sky, his eyes flickered, and he sighed softly.
For the long-term sake of his son-in-law and the monarch and his ministers, he needed to find a way to check and balance.
Li Zan was transferred to central Beijing, where he used the Ministry of War to intervene in the personnel and training of the Beijing camp. After Gao Zhongping returned from supervising the new policy in the south, he took up the central position. He was also the leader of Yun Wen and Wu. When he attacked Liaodong, he divided his troops into several groups and headed to the East Palace.
In order to supervise the army, many parties participated.
There is no way, the son-in-law is too capable, so he has to guard against others, at least there must be more people who can be used.
Moreover, the King of Wei also needs to be trained, and the King of Chu is responsible for it alone.
Emperor Chongping thought for a while, took a blank memorandum, and drafted a cabinet edict that Li Zan, Minister of the Ministry of War, should return to the capital immediately after handing over the affairs of the Shanxi Military Department.
Zou Jing took over and was promoted to Minister of Military and Aircraft.
In fact, Li Zan, the second minister of the cabinet, has been supervising official affairs outside the country, which is somewhat abnormal. Of course, he is indeed gaining more and more prestige among the civil servants of the Han Dynasty.
…
…
Just like that, the Jade Rabbit sets in the west, the Golden Crow rises in the east, time flies, and three days pass in the blink of an eye.
As the King of Wei went to several counties under the Jingzhao Prefecture in Guanzhong to coordinate the New Deal, the King of Qi also went to Shanxi to help local officials supervise the New Deal, while the King of Chu went to Shandong to assist the admiral Baolinghou Shi Nai in handling local military affairs.
The internal political situation in Shenjing City fell into a strange calm for a while.
Jia Heng, on the other hand, traveled between the Beijing Camp, the Ministry of War, and the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army. On the one hand, he was training soldiers, and on the other hand, he and Shi Jie of the Ministry of War selected the officers of the Military Aircraft Department and recommended the Minister of Military Aircraft.
On this day, Jia Heng and Shi Jie, the Minister of War, finally came out to select people under the attention of officials in the capital.
First, several commander-in-chiefs and governor-general officials from the Fifth Army Commander's Office, such as Runan Hou Weiqi, walked into the military aircraft office and participated in aircraft maintenance.
Later, Xie Zaiyi was recommended by Jia Heng as Minister of Military Aircraft, specializing in northwest affairs. After becoming familiar with the Military Aircraft Shuwu, he was assigned the task of going to Huguang to supervise the garrison and farming.
Emperor Chongping approved it.
For a time, some people in the Zhejiang Party in the capital secretly claimed that the Jia Party was back in power, planting party members everywhere in the military and controlling state affairs.
Immediately afterwards, Hang Min, Shi Shu, and even Hou Xiaokang, Shi Guangzhu, the commanders of the Military Aircraft Department, as well as Zhongqin Hou Xie Zaiyi, Runan Hou Weiqi and others will go to Bashu, Huguang, and Liangjiang to check the soldiers of the guards and sort out the villages.
politics.
Emperor Chongping's edict was issued. Since the Anhui Guard's garrison administration was corrupted, the Shanxi Guard's Office had enumerated soldiers, sorted out the garrison administration, and identified hidden soldiers with countless people.
The imperial court intended to conduct an inventory of the soldiers in the garrison stations across the country, and the vigorous Chongping New Deal was finally introduced to the garrison stations and military camps in the 17th year of Chongping.
