Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 88
Ganpu.

As the only cabinet scholar around Jian Guo, Shen Chenquan acted as the chief steward of Jian Guo.In the army of the Northern Expedition, thousands of affairs were gathered in one body. Fortunately, he was relatively young, full of enthusiasm for saving the country and rejuvenation, and full of energy.

But today, looking at the letter he just wrote to the public, the young Dongge University scholar still couldn't help frowning, worried.

The inscription of this Anmin Announcement is based on the intention of the state supervisor. Zhu Wu, commander-in-chief of the Banner Bearer Battalion.

Seeing this title, he couldn't help but think of Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao's self-proclaimed governor of military affairs, mighty general, commander-in-chief Zhu Shou, Duke of Zhen.

"Your Highness, this must be a secret."

Yu Dafu, another minister who was present, also felt a toothache.

Well, the name of His Royal Highness Daming Jianguo is not used, but the name of Zhu Wu must be used, Zhu Wu should be Zhu Wu, and I have been promoted again, from the former chief soldier of the banner-bearer battalion to the commander-in-chief of military affairs of the admiral's banner-bearer battalion , and now, the admiral who supervises the local military affairs in various provinces in the south of the Yangtze River has become more and more powerful.

Although Shen Chenquan is relatively young, he is very knowledgeable and knows a lot about the history of this dynasty.

There are always many legends among the folks about the playful Ming Wuzong who had no heirs, and there are many speculations with low-level people, such as the story of one dragon and two phoenixes, the excessive speculation about the Leopard House, and so on.

Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, seems to be an emperor who only knows how to play, like King Zhou in the wine pool and meat forest, or Yang Guang who travels south of the Yangtze River on a dragon boat.

However, Shen Chenquan is not an ordinary scholar, how can he be so shallow, not to mention that he is now a cabinet scholar, so he has a deeper understanding of the power of the government.

Let’s just talk about the playful Ming Wuzong and his Leopard House. In fact, it seems absurd to be bohemian on the surface, but anyone who knows that period of political history knows that the Leopard House is not only a plaything, but also the second place that Ming Wuzong used to fight for power. court.

In essence, the Leopard Room is another supervisor of rituals.

The cabinet of the Ming Dynasty proposed to control the power of the foreign court, and the emperor, through the approval of the eunuchs and eunuchs, formed a new court center, the internal court, which balances the internal and external, and controls the balance of power.

And Zhu Houzhao is an emperor with great power struggle skills. His Leopard House is actually the inner court of the inner court, which is just a means for the emperor to seize power.

Later, Zhu Houzhao even stayed in Datong at the border for a long time, and even gave himself the title of Governor of Military Affairs, Mighty General, Chief Military Officer, Zhen Guogong, which seemed absurd, but it contained very powerful means of power struggle.

In essence, this is the emperor bypassing the imperial court, especially the Ministry of War, and directly using this title to issue orders to the officers and men of the border town of Ming Dynasty. Establish a name?
This actually involves the essence of power. Although the emperor is the ninety-five supreme and supreme, the exercise of the emperor's power must be passed down through layers. The internal and external courts, such as the six and five army governors' mansions.

There must be such a complete process, so that the emperor's will can be passed on normally, and although Daming has a centralized monarchy, the emperor's will may also be rejected by the cabinet or even the six departments.

Zhu Houzhao stayed in Datong, claiming to be the governor-general of military affairs, the mighty general, and the commander-in-chief. In fact, it was equivalent to opening a government and building a government office, setting up a separate imperial court center, and establishing a second power center, directly throwing the Beijing imperial court aside.

His Leopard Room at the beginning was at best the center of the new Inner Court, the Second Inner Court, but the Governor General of Military Affairs, the mighty general, was above the Ministry of War in the Inner and Outer Courts. It is necessary to follow the original traditional procedure.

You can directly order frontier generals and local officials.

what is this?This is the emperor's dimensionality-reducing power struggle.

Later, Zhu Houzhao used this method to mobilize the frontier army and fight against the little Mongolian prince, which not only simplified the process but also reduced time, and more importantly, he avoided being restrained by ministers.

Now His Royal Highness Lu Jianguo is also playing this game, the intention seems to be obvious.

"Your Highness wants to set up feudal clans and towns in the south of the Yangtze River, open a mansion and build teeth?" Yu Dafu asked incredulously.

Shen Chenquan nodded, this was already very obvious.

"Your Highness, do you not trust Taizhou Xingyuan, or do you not trust Shaoxing's supervisor Xingyuan?" Yu Dafu asked worriedly.

"I think His Highness still trusts Zhang Guowei and Zhu Dadian, the two cabinet supervisors, and Liu Gong, Fang Gong, Song Gong and other academicians also trust, otherwise there is no need to delegate power like this." Shen Chenquan sighed, " But we are following His Highness, and we can still see some things, His Highness seems to be very dissatisfied with the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty."

Jian Guo's actions during this period of time also proved Shen Chenquan's words, this young Jian Guo had his own ideas, and was even incompatible with the Ming Dynasty's long-standing system.

Whether it was because of his intention to go north, or because he was in Ningbo looking for local gentry to borrow money or persuade donations, or to kill Xie Sanbin, etc., after he came to West Zhejiang, he acted a little more aggressively.

Various tax reductions and exemptions, but a new Lijin Bureau has been established, and after entering Ganpu, the disposal of these local tyrants is even more evident from the new thinking of the prison country.

If it weren't for the fact that this prisoner was surnamed Zhu and was a descendant of Emperor Taizu Gao, it would be hard to imagine that this was the prisoner of Ming Dynasty.

After the martyrdom of Emperor Lie, King Fu of the Ming Dynasty established his title in Nanjing, and King Lu briefly supervised the country in Hangzhou, but these two basically acted out of the box. Although they fled and surrendered, they were still acting like normal emperors.

But this one is completely different.

Since he raised his troops in Taizhou, he has not stayed there for a few days, and has been running all the time. Under his Zhongxing banner, more and more people gathered to join, civil servants, military generals, old cabinet ministers, There are also gentry and peasants, but no one can stop Jian Guo.

But what they have to admit is that Jian Guo's non-stop actions are indeed snowballing, allowing the Jian Guo court to continuously expand its territory and strength, and its influence is also increasing.

He is obviously a supervisor of the country, but he insists on running around all the time.

It is obvious that he is in charge of the country, but he insists on leading the army himself.

These styles are incompatible with those few.

Even though Chongzhen was diligent in politics, he never left Beijing, let alone led troops to fight.

Now look at this newly conferred title, but it is full of Wu Zong style.

Wu Zong's behavior, in fact, the later generations of the Ming Dynasty gave him mixed reviews, and even criticized him more than praised him.But they also have to admire that the emperor controls power very well.

The emperors of the old Zhu family in the Ming Dynasty basically had a way of playing power and tricks, and they were very capable. Even Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, who was captured in the battle of Tumubao, was not a fool. He was captured after defeat in the battle and placed under house arrest , After returning to Beijing and being imprisoned, he was still able to seize the door and reset.

"I always feel that His Highness wants to conduct experiments here in the south of Zhejiang Province, and also to train troops here. The title of Jiangnan Admiral, Banner Chief Soldier, and General Zhen Guo is more convenient for him to act."

"Mr. Shen thinks this is a good thing or a bad thing?"

Shen Chenquan gritted his teeth, "The situation of the country is like this, maybe after a lot of tossing around, maybe we can really find some vitality, it's better than sitting still and waiting for death, right?"

The Ming Dynasty was rotten from top to bottom. Even if the Tartars from outside the Liaodong Pass did not invade, the Ming Dynasty would definitely not be able to survive.

Even if it is under the banner of expelling the Tartars and revitalizing Ming Dynasty, if the old problems that plagued Ming Dynasty are not resolved, there will be no future.

Whether they are in Taizhou or the Governor's Mansion in Shaoxing, they are just trying to maintain the situation by sewing and mending. Now they can't even solve the basic financial problems of food and wages, so what else are they talking about?
Jian Guo refused to stay in the rear and insisted on leading the troops on the front line. Shen Chenquan, the person who has been with him all the time, felt a little bit of Jian Guo's thoughts, that is, the front is more suitable for tossing. Without changing the old rule of exempting money and food for the gentry, it is convenient to exempt the common people from taxes, and then turn around and set up a lijin bureau to persuade donations. In fact, it is taxing all walks of life. The tax law still maintains the privileges and exemptions of the bureaucratic and gentry class.

This is a very contradictory approach, but the gentry and bureaucrats can't refute it under the banner of saving the country and restoring the country.And this kind of temporary lijin bureau inevitably made the gentry and bureaucracy think that the ancestral system and privileges have not changed, and they can still return to normal in the future.

The Lijin Bureau is an important adjustment of the state's taxation and finances by the supervisory state, and the supervisory state is personally on the front line, but he insists on serving as the commander-in-chief and even the admiral now, so it is obvious that he wants to attack the army.

From Taizhou to Ningbo, Ningbo to Jiaxing, along the way recruited troops and reorganized the troops, Yongwei Battalion, Bannerman Battalion, Shenji Battalion, and then to Shizhong Battalion. When it comes to the military salary and battalion system, there is a huge difference from the original one. These are all directly determined by the supervisory state. In fact, the cabinet, supervisor of rituals, and six ministries that are currently being formed have not been able to exert their real powers at all. In this matter They didn't even get involved.

This was something that Emperor Hongguang never did.

Shen Chenquan also felt like laughing at his own conclusion, and found it very absurd.

It is already a prison state supported by civil and military gentry in eastern Zhejiang, but now it is going to be a feudal town?
But the fact seems to be the case.

But Shen Chenquan could also see that His Highness Jian Guo seemed to be taking a completely different road of supervising the country from King Fu and King Lu, and even a road different from that of Emperor Liehuang Chongzhen. What is the future of this road? , Shen Chenquan didn't know either.

But looking back on this journey, in less than a month, he has achieved so many victories and opened up such a good situation, he couldn't help but get excited.

"Following His Highness Jian Guo all the way, we won one game after another. Although they were only small victories, we kept winning, right?"

Yu Dafu nodded, "Yes, we have been winning."

"That's enough." Shen Chenquan looked at the long list of titles on An Min's notice in front of him, and suddenly felt that this seemed to be a good idea.
