Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 492 Zhili Wave

"What is supposed to come will eventually come."

Capital, Rong government.

Zhang Weixian, who was sitting on the official hat chair, looked a little emotional and looked around at the people gathered in the hall. "I summoned you to the Rong Government today. I think you must be clear about what we want to talk about, right?"

In addition to Fan Jingwen, the assistant in charge of the military affairs of the Beijing Camp, Qi Jin, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Military Camp, Qin Minping, the chief military officer, Zhao Lejiao, the commander-in-chief of the Shenshu Camp, You Shilu, the chief military officer, and Yuan Jianlong, the chief military officer of the Shenji Camp, all had expressions on their faces. Showing excitement.

How could they not know?

The emperor wants to rectify the garrison in the north of Zhili. In the past, they were busy without touching the ground because of this matter. The purpose was to improve the garrison system in the capital and Gyeonggi as soon as possible to ensure that when the garrison was really going to be abolished and restructured, It can ensure the absolute stability of the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty!

"Mr. British, please tell me what you will do next!"

Qi Jin, the commander of the Fifth Military Camp, spoke with a sonorous tone and stared at Zhang Weixian with his tiger eyes, "The guard posts in Beizhili should have been abolished by him long ago. They occupy a large area of ​​guard posts and farmland, but none of them can be reused. We even have to ask the court to allocate corresponding food and salary every year, which is simply ridiculous!"

"That's right!"

Chief Military Officer Qin Minping followed closely and said: "What is the use of these stragglers? This precious food and salary expenditure will not only be allocated to our various departments in the Beijing camp to expand the established staff and establishment, but also this time Shandong and other When the land is hit by a disaster, it is better to use it for disaster relief and resettlement than to beat a dog with a meat bun!!"

"That's right!"

"well said!"

They are also the generals who lead the troops to fight. For these generals in the Beijing camp, they look down on the hereditary officers in the guard station. If one of them does not do anything, he is greedy for life and afraid of death. This is simply disrespectful to the imperial soldiers. Insult! !

The rise of Ming Dynasty nobles seems inevitable.

"His Majesty's decree is very clear regarding the reorganization of the guard posts under the jurisdiction of Northern Zhili. The Ministry of War will be the main one, with the Military Affairs Council and the Fifth Army Governor's Office as the auxiliaries."

Under this situation, Zhang Weixian stretched out his hand to signal, which made Qi Jin, Qin Minping and other generals quiet down one by one, and their bright eyes focused on them.

"Quiet!"

In the battle of Liaozuo, except for Xiong Tingbi, who was a civil servant and was conferred the title of Marquis of Zhenlu by the emperor, the remaining people who were conferred the titles of uncle, son and baron were all military generals without exception!

As the newly promoted nobles of Tianqi Dynasty, they are absolutely loyal to the emperor. The key is that each of them is very good at commanding troops to fight. They will not raise an eyebrow at the emperor's orders, even if they are told to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire. Wrinkled.

Qin Minping's words resonated with many generals and colonels.

Seeing this scene, Fan Jingwen felt sad in his heart at this moment. It is worth mentioning that among the high-level generals in the three major battalions, without exception, they all participated in the battle to aid the Liao Dynasty and fought bloody battles with the Jianlu. Those who were rewarded by the emperor for their meritorious service on the battlefield.

Zhang Weixian rolled up his robe sleeves and said in a calm tone: "Before the final restructuring strategy is not clear, what our Beijing camp has to do is very simple, which is to guard the key points in the capital and Gyeonggi!"

"Before the restructuring is completed, the Beijing Camp will maintain constant vigilance. If any form of riot or mutiny dares to occur anywhere during this period, what the Beijing Camp will do is to send troops to suppress it and ensure the stability of all parts of Beizhili. "

"The water transport case supervised by the Institute of Integrity in Shandong has currently sent the mobile team stationed in Tianjin out, and now there is a serious disaster like an earth dragon turning over, so stability is the first factor." "If you dare to ask me to know, who is here If there is any slack during this period, causing the imperial court to suffer any unnecessary losses, then don’t blame me for being ruthless!!"

"Here!!"

All the generals agreed in unison.

As the British Duke of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Weixian had experienced several dynasties and had a thorough understanding of many things. The emperor chose this time to start rectifying the North Zhili Guards Station, which has profound implications.

There are too many problems in the Ming Dynasty. If we adhere to the principle of solving one problem before solving the next one, it will take until the Year of the Monkey to solve it.

Not to mention that many of these issues are deeply involved with each other, and that often affects the whole body.

What Zhang Weixian could see was that the emperor wanted to use the momentum of the water transportation case to frighten the groups in Beijing and local groups, and take advantage of the situation to divert the fire elsewhere. The follow-up to the water transportation case was first suspended. No, if anyone dares to jump around during this period, they will be dealt with by the way.

At the same time, through this large-scale disaster relief, central financial issues will be brought to the forefront, and at the same time, the reform of the health system will be concrete. This will not only attract many people, but also provide support for the salt reform and tax reform that were previously planned. Cover and ensure that Yuan Shizhen and Bi Ziyan can do everything they want to do.

The emperor’s plans are far-reaching! !

Seeing the generals leaving, Zhang Weixian felt sad in his heart, while Fan Jingwen walked over with a complicated expression.

"Your Majesty, in such a special period, the emperor wants to rectify the Northern Zhili Guard Station. Is this really a good thing for the country?"

Fan Jingwen paused, looked at Zhang Weixian and said: "With so many things piled up and people's hearts fluctuating, no one can guarantee whether there will be any accidents during this period, not to mention that this year's examination is about to start. For the imperial court at the moment, , what we should do more is to calm people’s hearts, if..."

"Fan Xierong, do you think any of the things His Majesty has done can be delayed?" Looking at the worried Fan Jingwen, Zhang Weixian asked with a serious expression.

"You and I are both ministers of the Ming Dynasty. You are a civil official and I am an honorable minister. But don't forget that too many people have almost forgotten this identity!!"

"If there was no Ming Dynasty, who could enjoy all kinds of preferential treatment? What your Majesty wants to do is not what we, the ministers, should consider. What we have to consider is what your Majesty wants to do, and how we, as ministers, should assist and go. Eliminate worries and solve problems!!”

Zhang Weixian didn't know that with so many things piled up together, there was no guarantee that an accident would happen during this period, but even if he knew, what could he do?

Don't do this?

Let abuses run rampant?

Allowing cancer to grow?

If this is the case, then the Ming Dynasty will only decline more and more, and when various conflicts cannot be mediated, there will be only endless chaos waiting for the Ming Dynasty!

"This human heart can never be satisfied." Looking at the silent Fan Jingwen, Zhang Weixian sighed: "But you have to have a certain degree in everything you do. If you cross the bottom line, even if you have made contributions to the Ming Dynasty, you should not It still needs to be solved, otherwise the Ming Dynasty’s laws and regulations will be just a showpiece!!”
