Chapter 219: Starting from Yu Qian, and finally Yu Qian!
Zhu Qiyu stroked his beard and said with high spirits, "How about taking this opportunity to have a Maoli boy fight?"
Zhu Jianji rolled his eyes, "Did it swell?"
Zhu Qiyu chuckled, "Isn't there a young army from the East Palace?"
Zhu Jianji was speechless, "The young army only has the strength of one guard station. Mobei is so big. If a guard station is thrown in, not even a single wave will come out. When His Majesty Taizong made five expeditions to Mobei, the Shenji Camp had much more troops. It's different." Effect?"
If we want to fight in Mobei, we will wait until the young army expands.
The six centers are in the hands of his father and son, and three things are urgent at the moment.
The jurisdiction of the regiment and camp was transferred to the Ministry of War.
The power to dismiss the Ministry of War and select generals can be recommended, but cannot be decided.
Abolish the privilege of the Minister of War to rule on all military affairs and return it to the imperial power. The Palace of Qianqing will make the final decision, especially military pay, promotion of generals, and deployment of troops and horses. The Minister of War will never be allowed to make arbitrary decisions.
This requires the cooperation of the Qi Qing, especially Yu Qian, the current Minister of War.
When Zhu Jianji said this, Zhu Qiyu became interested, "Will Yu Shaobao cooperate?"
Zhu Jianji smiled and said nothing.
Uncooperative?
If you don't cooperate, I will let Yu Qian go to the Ministry of War?
joke.
Yu Qian is now the emperor's master. I, Zhu, have conquered our Ming Dynasty Great Wall with my strong personality charm over the years, and I know that the Ming Dynasty will not repeat the mistakes of the Baozong.
In addition, Yu Shaobao is old and cannot do everything himself. With me, Mr. Zhu, in charge, he can take care of his old age with peace of mind.
Why not.
Yu Qian's thoughts are actually nothing more than two points.
His own reputation and integrity.
The family, the country, the country, and the people of the world.
In the past few years, Yu Qian has also seen the negative impact of the dominance of civilian officials on the Ming Dynasty. With the emergence of a powerful prince like himself, Yu Qian is eager to weaken the Ministry of War in order to stabilize the peace of the court and the country.
After all, it is not a good thing if the imperial power and the civil servant group continue to fight.
Zhu Qiyu thought thoughtfully, "Are you so sure?"
Zhu Jianji raised the list of the six ministers in his hand, "If Yu Shaobao didn't have this intention, the six ministers would not be these people."
Zhu Qiyu was speechless, "Then... I won't have anything to do next."
Zhu Jianji: "..."
He complained angrily, "I also want to lie down flat, but you're not strong enough."
Zhu Qiyu smiled sheepishly.
Zhu Jianji was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "When things happen here in Gyeonggi Province, after autumn comes, I will go to the coast. There is something that must be put on the agenda."
Zhu Qiyu said, "Taiwan?"
Zhu Jianji shook his head, "Does Taiwan's Baozong matter?"
Zhu Qiyu was confused, "What is that?"
Zhu Jianji said slowly: "If my foresight is correct, with the development of the times, the war between countries in the next few hundred years will be a war of sea power. I, the Ming Dynasty, must take the first step. Now the six departments have taken over , I plan to set up a naval department. Since we need to have an army that spans the oceans, do we have to have corresponding warships? The treasure ship can be used for now, but it is by no means a long-term solution. I have to build my ideal steel warship to provide The Ming Dynasty laid the foundation for hundreds of years of maritime supremacy!"
Future wars will be about sea power and air power.
Kong Quan doesn’t want to think about it anymore.
Sea power must be firmly controlled. There is a precedent for this, such as the British Empire’s fleet on which the sun never sets.
Simple.
Daming can do it now.
The core key is the steam engine.
The design of the steel battleship can be put on the agenda first. When the steam engine comes out, it can be directly built and hauled to the coast. After installing it on the steel battleship, a fleet can be quickly formed to form a combat force.
These operations are all delusions until the power of the six departments is returned to the hands of the imperial power.
It is so possible for that group of old-fashioned scholars to accept such an advanced and cross-era concept.
Zhu Qiyu said, "It costs money."
Daming really has no money.
Zhu Jianji chuckled, "How much money do you think we can get from this house raid?"
Zhu Qiyu shook his head, "How do I know?"
The house raid is still in progress...
Zhu Jianji roughly counted the number of people who had their families confiscated and exterminated, and he happily held out three fingers, "At least thirty million taels. As for the fertile land and houses, there are countless more."
Those who ransacked their homes were all the top officials of the Ming Dynasty.
They have quite a lot of money.
In Fujian, you can get a few million taels, but in Gyeonggi, you can't get 20 to 30 million taels.
But this is not a long-term solution.
It is impossible to confiscate the homes of Ming officials without money.
You have to make money from the source.
The fastest way is sea trade.
Well, there is no need for royal smuggling in current sea trade. A sea ban can be announced at the next court meeting.
Who else dares to object this time?
No one left!
It feels so damn good to have the court cleansed.
Zhu Qiyu took a breath of cold air, "It's such an irony that the treasury of our Ming Dynasty is so poor and the officials of our Ming Dynasty are so rich. Jingtai has been here for more than ten years...sigh."
Zhu Qiyu didn't know what to say.
Zhu Jianji is more open-minded, Ming Dynasty has always been like this.
Besides, anti-corruption is unrealistic in this era.
Said: "I want to relax for the past two days. Don't let me come to Qianqing Hall if you have nothing to do. I won't go to Fengtian Hall. The matter of the guilty ministers confiscating their homes and annihilating their clans is irreversible. The interrogation of those guilty ministers in the imperial prison can't be changed."
Do it day and night, so as not to cause another lot of trouble when Duke Yan Sheng comes."
While he was talking, the chief minister of the cabinet, Shang Lu, arrived.
The chief minister of the cabinet was Chen Xun. He had been the chief minister of the cabinet for more than ten years. This time there were major changes in the officials of the six ministries. Zhu Jianji hinted at this several times, so Chen Xun, the minister of household affairs, resigned as the chief minister of the cabinet.
The vacancy will be filled by Shang Ren.
Zhu Jianji plans to slim down the cabinet.
The existence of the cabinet is very meaningful, but it must not be made too strong.
Therefore, the assistant ministers of the cabinet will no longer have the power to serve as ministers of the six departments.
After the salute, Shang Ren handed over a seal, "This is a seal signed by Yu Shaobao, Wang Shangshu and Chen Xun. It mainly talks about the placement of many powers in the Ministry of War. The cabinet has drafted a vote and asked His Majesty to approve it."
"
Zhu Jianji's eyes lit up, he took the fold from Shang Ren, glanced at it, and handed it to Zhu Qiyu, "Look, I said Yu Shaobao won't understand. From today on, Lao Zhu, you can sleep peacefully.
"
Three ministers jointly submitted a memorial, and military power returned to the imperial power.
It takes no effort at all to get it.
The great civil servants of the Ming Dynasty began with Yu Qian and will also end with Yu Qian.
The Great Wall of Ming Dynasty will also change its history and finally come to a happy end.
Heaven will not disappoint those with conscience.
The best ending.
Zhu Qiyu took the Zhangzhe and sat down again. After unfolding it, he looked at the Zhangzhe carefully and carefully. His face broke out in laughter. Ever since he defeated Wala in the first year of Jingtai, the stubborn Ming disease that had kept him awake at night had followed him.
The imperial approval on this seal will become a thing of the past.
And this is not because of his kindness, Zhu Qiyu.
It's because of his bastard's tyrannical style.
Killed with Jin Yiwei's Xiuchun Dao!
good!
very good!
Now that the civil servants have lost their military power, they can let the bastards do whatever they want. I am now lying down in the Qianqing Hall, waiting for the two characters "Jingtai" to be written in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
