Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 107
"All the lovers must know about the fact that a large number of officials are trying to force the palace!"

Zhu Houzhao spoke first, although his tone was flat, it made the officials shudder.

A big purge comparable to or even surpassing the Hu Weiyong case is about to begin.

The entire civil servant group has been sacked, and the number of people involved and the number of people involved in the case are simply terrifying. A major earthquake is about to occur in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, and a new political structure is about to open.

"Forcing the palace to commit a crime is a heinous crime, and I think it should be dealt with severely."

University scholar Mao Ji said solemnly.

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

Others also said that they must be severely punished. They and the civil society group are political enemies. It would be strange if they didn't make trouble at this time!

"All the officials involved in forcing the palace, as well as their families and relatives, will all be dispatched to Liaodong."

Zhu Houzhao adhered to the consistent "benevolent" style of work, and did not kill any of the civil servants, but threw them all to open up wasteland and farm land. When there is no value for use, it is not too late to release the civil servants.

He couldn't help praising himself for his "kindness and loyalty". Throughout the ages, the officials who participated in forcing the palace to rebel, the best end result is that they ransacked and beheaded, and it is possible to severely punish the nine clans.

It is rare to see an emperor like him who does not kill anyone and puts benevolence first. Han Wendi, Tang Taizong, and Song Renzong, who are known for their "benevolence", are far behind her.

Touch yourself for a second!

Then began the redistribution and adjustment of official positions.

It's a pleasure to wipe out all the civil official groups, but the follow-up impact is really great. The civil official group's power spreads all over the court. If you don't hurry up and fill the vacant official positions, the court may be paralyzed in a short time !

And this is also the reason why many emperors hate civil servant groups, but they dare not move them easily. The personnel are all over the court, and the court cannot operate without them!

It was also unlucky to meet such a ruthless and unscrupulous master Zhu Houzhao, otherwise the civil official group might still be prosperous for decades.

After some adjustments, Wang Yangming was promoted to the chief assistant of the cabinet when Li Dongyang resigned.

Yang Yiqing, who suppressed the rebellion of local clans in various places, was promoted from a bachelor of Wenyuange to a second assistant to the cabinet.

Yang Tinghe, who sits in the southwest, was granted the title of Bachelor of Wuyingdian University.

Guanglu doctor Liang Chu was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Officials and took charge of the Ministry of Officials
Wang Zuo is in charge of the household department

Wang Qiong in charge of the Ministry of War

Liu Yu was promoted from the left deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to the minister of the Ministry of Rites and took charge of the Ministry of Rites

Hong Zhong is in charge of the Ministry of Punishment

Li Yu is in charge of the engineering department

Fei Hong, a scholar of Wuyingdian, Wang Jia, a scholar of Wenyuange, Mao Ji, a scholar of Dongge, Jiang Mian, a scholar of Jinshendian, and Liu Zhong, a doctor of Guanglu.
Except for changes in the cabinet and the six ministries, there were almost no changes.

Hong Zhong is proficient in martial arts and the art of war. Zhu Houzhao intends to let him enter the military system, but now the reorganization of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion has not been completed, so he can only be allowed to serve in the Ministry of Punishment first.

Li Yu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, is old and cannot find a suitable person in charge of the Ministry of Industry for the time being, so he can only let him do it first.

"Wang Qing, you should worry more about the officials who are vacant. They should be promoted and appointed from among the vacant Hanlin scholars in the Imperial Academy. You must restore the operation of the imperial court in the shortest possible time."

Zhu Houzhao instructed Wang Yangming.

"Sir, you will never fail the grace of God!"

Wang Yangming's heart was twitching. Zhu Houzhao handed over the power of promoting and appointing officials to him. Such unconditional trust, how could he not be moved.

"Abolish the Five Armies Governor's Mansion and change it to the Military Department. All military deployments, officer appointments, and military payouts will all go out of the Military Department. From then on, it will be independent of the Six Departments and directly belong to me."

Zhu Houzhao announced to the ministers his first big move after defeating the civil official group in an extremely strong tone.

After the Battle of Tumubao, the Dudufu's Mansion of the Five Armies was nothing more than a decoration, and most of the military officers serving in it were wine bags and rice bags, straw bags of waste, and they were really useless.

As early as a long time ago, Zhu Houzhao wanted to abolish the Dudu's Mansion of the Five Armies, but because he was fledgling at that time and was afraid of being "easy to dissolve in water", he refrained from attacking the Dudu's Mansion of the Five Armies.

Now the Jiangnan gentry, civil official group, vassal king group, and honorable group can no longer pose a threat to him, and there is no need for the five army governor's mansion to exist!
"This"

The officials looked at each other in blank dismay, intending to stop him, but they dared not speak, for fear of offending Zhu Houzhao.

They have no objection to the reorganization of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion into the Military Headquarters. It's just that the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion is independent from the Sixth Ministry, which makes them somewhat unacceptable!
The Military Commander's Mansion of the Five Armies is the core of the military officer system of the Ming Dynasty. After the Battle of Tumubao, the nobles of the Ming Dynasty fell into a slump, and it was difficult for the generals to stand up.

After so many years of accumulation, any civil servant would subconsciously think that a civil servant is more noble than a military general, and that it is only natural and justified that the six departments are above the five military commanders' mansions.

All of a sudden, the Five Armies Commander's Mansion was changed into a military headquarters, and it had to be independent from and not affected by the Sixth Ministry. Even if all the officials present were from Zhu Houzhao's lineage, it was unavoidable for a while.

The emperor wants to improve the status of generals.

This is their only thought, and it is also an indisputable fact!
Although the civil official group is finished, most of the people standing here are not civil officials. After a few years, they will become the new civil official group. Out of self-interest, even if Wang Yangming is trusted, Zhu Houzhao must raise the status of military officer. It is used to check and balance the civil servants whose power is too inflated.

Wang Yangming will not form cliques, Zhu Houzhao is very sure of this. With the great achievement of mind and learning, Wang Yangming's mind is almost like a saint. People can't help themselves in many things.

In order to prevent the emergence of another civil servant group, it is imperative to enhance the status of generals, not to mention that Zhu Houzhao's many plans in the future cannot be separated from the contribution of military generals.

The balance of civil and military is the way to long-term stability.

"Ugh"

British Duke Zhang Mao let out a long sigh, and the abolition of the Five Armies Commander's Mansion meant that the last twilight of their nobles would also dissipate. As the home of Jingnan's first hero, he sincerely regretted it.

However, I am extremely happy that the curtain of the five-army governor's mansion has come to an end, and a new military headquarters has appeared, which means that the spring of the military attache is coming, and the era of civil respect and military inferiority is coming to an end!

His Zhang family is the family of military generals, and he can also make contributions to the country by killing enemies and reshaping the prestige of the generals of the Ming Dynasty.

"Since all the lovers have no objection, then it's decided!"

Zhu Houzhao made a final decision: "The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies was reorganized into the Military Department, and Zhang Mao, the British Duke, was appointed to be in charge of the Military Department.

"The new military department, I intend to divide it into three divisions. The military and political department is mainly responsible for the distribution of military salaries for soldiers and generals, as well as dealing with the placement of some military families."

"Military war department, including the three major battalions, the nine sides and other main battle troops."

"Military Law Department, there is a saying that there is no rule without rules, and the army should also have certain rules to ensure the interests of soldiers."

Speaking of this, he also glanced at the group of generals headed by the Duke of England meaningfully, and said meaningfully: "I heard that there are often generals in the army who rely on their status to eat empty pay and embezzle the money that the soldiers deserve. , and even killed soldiers at will.”

"This military law department is prepared for those scum in the army who like to eat empty pay and violate the interests of soldiers."
