Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 267 The Emperor Throws Out an Eight-Year Plan to Create the Basic Plan of the Jingtai Dynasty

After "escaping" from the city of Beijing and "occupying the mountain as king" in the royal garden area in the western suburbs, Zhu Qiyu made a detailed plan for the next eight years.

Why eight years?

Because according to the plan, Jingtai will 'force' the emperor to rebel in four or five years.From the sixth to the eighth year of Jingtai, Sun Shi and Zhu Qizhen died of illness one after another.

Marked by the death of the Sun family and Zhu Qizhen, the first eight years were the early stage of the Jingtai Dynasty, with the main line of cleaning the Emperor's faction and initial reforms.

The next eight years were the middle period of the Jingtai Dynasty. The main line was to conquer the South and fight the North, and establish Wenzhiwugong as the main line. At the same time, Zhu Jianshen was guided to voluntarily abdicate, so that the Emperor's faction completely withdrew from the stage of history, and the transfer of the emperor's lineage was completed.

The last eight years were the late period of the Jingtai Dynasty, which focused on carrying out in-depth reforms, and completed the training of the new prince and the establishment of the East Palace team.

Jingtai has three stages: front, middle and back, 24 years.Zhu Qiyu had already thought about it, and when the time came, he would abdicate. At that time, he was 46 years old and could enjoy it freely for many years.

This emperor can't continue to be an endless, worrying all day long without speaking, but also has to get up early and stay late, work like a cow and a horse, and then be chased and scolded by the officials.

Whoever wants to be this broken emperor should be whoever he wants.Emperor Xiaowen succeeded to the throne at the age of 24 and has been the emperor for 23 years. I am almost as good as him.

As for my future temple name, that is also a difficult problem.Taizong must be dead, and Daizong is absolutely unacceptable.In Shizong's words, there is Liu Che in front of him, so don't.

Zhongzong is very good, but it is a pity that Han Zhongzong is Emperor Xiaoxuan, and I don't want to have anything to do with the word "Xuan".

After much deliberation, Xianzong is undoubtedly a good temple name, and in the past dynasties, no garbage emperor has come to Huo Huo with this temple name.

Liu Zhuang, Emperor Xianzong Xiaoming of Han Dynasty, the fourth son of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu.His mother, Yin Lihua, is Liu Xiu's first wife.As a result, after Liu Xiu became emperor, Guo Shengtong became the queen instead.

Until more than ten years later, Liu Xiu abolished Guo Shengtong and made Yin Lihua the queen.

Liu Zhuang, the son of Yin Lihua, was changed from a vassal king to a prince, and finally ascended the throne. He reigned for 24 years and became Emperor Xianzong Xiaoming of the Han Dynasty.

As the founder of the rule of Mingzhang in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty strictly guarded against foreign relatives and attacked the clan; restricted the powerful and clarified the official system; governed the Yellow River and built water conservancy; attacked the Xiongnu in the north and expanded the land in the southwest.

Apart from Liu Zhuang's reverence for Buddhism and Confucianism, Zhu Qiyu felt that he had a lot of similarities with the Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Zhuang was actually the Emperor Taizong of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

So let it be, the goal Zhu Qiyu set for himself is to become Mingzong.

The people from Zhongshushe were a little confused when they saw the emperor wandering around and giggling.The ministers are all connected together to force the emperor to issue an edict, but the emperor still has the intention to be silly there.

Huang Pu asked softly at the side: "Your Majesty, how long will I be patrolling Zhili?"

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu came back to his senses, smiled at Huang Pu and said, "You can patrol slowly, for three years, until the Supreme Emperor returns.

You have two tasks, one is to patrol the capital for me, and the other is to assist me in reorganizing the army in Beijing.

Anyway, let's just do these things, don't worry, let's take our time.

Let me tell you about my basic disk building plan. "

When everyone heard the words, they all came to their spirits, and expressed their all ears in unison.

Zhu Qiyu cleared his throat and explained to everyone: "From a geographical point of view, the old eight mansions in northern Zhili, plus the newly transferred Xuanfu and Huailai from Shanxi to Zhili; the whole Shandong, and Daning to Guangxi. Ning Yixian, this is the basic disk I want to build.

I want to firmly control this area in my hands, so that I can sit safely on the throne.

There are three specific measures. First, to show kindness to the people of Gyeonggi, tax exemption should be exempted, corvee exemption should be exempted, and money should be distributed.If the common people feel the majesty of the emperor's grace, and sincerely support me.

Second, rectify the army and transfer away all the troops and guards who do not like me.Establish an army of about 20 soldiers, stationed in key areas of Gyeonggi.

Third, abolish redundant staff, streamline the organization, clarify the administration of officials, and clean up unjust prisons.Dredging canals and harnessing the Yellow River.Suppress population growth in Gyeonggi and reduce the burden of water transportation.

For example, there are 26 personal guards in Shangzhi in Beijing. Except for the four guards of Yumajian and Jinyiwei, the remaining 21 are mixed with the Beijing camp, which is not clear.As a result, the management is chaotic and the problem of empty payment is serious.

There is also Jinyiwei, which has 10,000+ people, but they can't fight wars, and they can't defend the emperor. What do they need so many people for?

There are also mausoleum guards. If there is an imperial mausoleum, it is necessary to set up a mausoleum guard. 5000 people guard an imperial mausoleum, which is really overkill.

All these guards will be abolished and streamlined, and then merged into the Shangzhi Guards and Jingying in Nanjing. "

Everyone present was a little dumbfounded, it must be too cruel for the emperor to attack.

Zhu Qiyu added: "The four guards of the Yumajian form one guard, plus Duoyan's three guards, Tian Ce's guard, and Yingzhou's guard, making a total of six guards.

It is said that the Son of Heaven's personal army is called the Sixth Division, so it is reasonable for me to set up six personal guards in the Gyeonggi area as the basic base.

Together with the Xiaoqi Battalion, the Shenji Battalion, and the [-] Battalion that will be rebuilt in the future, there are a total of nine combat troops.Supplemented by a certain number of garrison guards, grain transport troops, and Japanese soldiers, this is the deployment of the army in the Gyeonggi area. "

Everyone heard the words, but said nothing.Xu Zheng, Huang Jian, and Yue Zheng became members of Zhongshushe after they severely injured Wala, and their relationship with the emperor was relatively shallow, so they didn't dare to talk too much.

He Yi, Huang Pu, and Lian Gang were a team of civil servants who followed Zhu Qiyu to start a business. They shared weal and woe, and they became much closer to the emperor.

After Zhu Qiyu finished talking about his plan, He Yi asked, "Who does your Majesty plan to send to patrol Shandong?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Anyway, don't even think about it, and I am impatient to read the memorandum, so you have to stay by my side to take charge of government affairs, give me suggestions, and solve problems.

This way I can sleep less and use my brain less.Then when the weather gets warmer, I have to plant the land myself.

As for patrolling Shandong, let Xu Youzhen go, it just so happened that he was going to Shandong to deal with the floods. "

He Yi nodded and continued: "The Marquis of Ningyang Chen Mao selected more than 100 young sinners from among his family members who were captured by the Southeast People's Rebellion Party, castrated them, and sent them to the capital to be dedicated to His Majesty. You see how to deal with them these people?"

"Oh, is it dedicated to the royal family, or to the empress dowager, or is it dedicated to me, the emperor, by name?"

He Yi said with a smile: "I would not dare to name Taoist Ning Yanghou, but he did clearly express that it was dedicated to His Majesty."

"It's because the common people can't survive the civil uprising. What's the point of cutting someone's knife properly? Isn't the castration of prisoners of war a means to deal with foreign races?"

He Yi spread his hands helplessly.

Just as Zhu Qiyu was about to order these little eunuchs to be sent to a group of feudal lords, suddenly he was blessed with a novel idea.So he replied:

"Okay, I'll give Ning Yanghou a face, let these little eunuchs come over later, and I'll pick a few to use. You reply to Ning Yanghou, don't be an example, let him stop castrating prisoners of war."
