Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 2030 Difficulty inside and outside the palace (circle three)
Liu Xin's words made Gao Yushi speechless for a while, and he couldn't answer for a long time.

Gao Pragmatic is indeed a principled person, but being principled does not mean being stubborn, let alone being paranoid enough not to accept reality.He knew that Liu Xin's words were just an inference, but the inference was reasonable.If it really develops like this, the final result is not exactly the same, at least it is not bad.

What worries Gao Yushi the most in this inference is that if one day his descendants go north to attack Daming, the chaos they may cause will be far greater than the current rebellion.This also means that the killing must be even worse, causing greater losses to the Chinese nation.

The reason is very simple, even if he really rebelled one day because he was highly pragmatic, because he himself was extremely displeased to see the land of China in trouble, so he would definitely try to use the gentlest but fastest method to complete the revolution. Ways to minimize civil war losses.

However, what if all this is not done by him with high pragmatism?Just as Liu Xin assumed, this matter will be completed by a certain generation of his grandchildren. Will they have such concern for their compatriots as high pragmatism?

Obviously not, because they will have become the ruling family of southern Xinjiang by then, they should have been born and raised in southern Xinjiang, and their longing for the "Central Plains" is only brought about by the knowledge passed on in the book.At the same time, their most urgent thought about the Central Plains could only be to forcibly seize it with the power in their hands—to take back the ancestral land.

Therefore, war may become inevitable.

At this moment, Gao Wushi suddenly felt a little sad.What the children and grandchildren will do, sometimes the ancestral system does not necessarily limit it, just as many ancestral systems set by Zhu Yuanzhang have actually been destroyed.

When the children and grandchildren face unsolvable problems and at the same time find that they can be solved by breaking the ancestral system, many people will strongly push them to break the shackles of these ancestral systems.

Speaking of which, isn't it true that he has been advocating "following the will of the ancestors instead of following the system" that he has been advocating all these years?
In the final analysis, the key still depends on whether it is cost-effective to follow the ancestral system or to abolish the ancestral system.After all, the root of everything lies in profit.

As for Liu Xin's assumption just now, if she explained it in the name of the ancestral system in the future, stipulating that the system in southern Xinjiang is to pay equal attention to workers, peasants, businessmen and soldiers, it can change the situation of the Ming Dynasty, which is dominated by a civil society group...

It can only be said that Liu Xin has made rapid progress on political issues, but there is still room for improvement.

Gao Yushi is very clear that this effect cannot be achieved by relying solely on the ancestral system, but it is indeed possible to achieve such a goal through more ingenious methods.

How to do it?In short, it is necessary to cultivate an interest group for workers, farmers, businessmen, scholars, and soldiers, and at the same time give them a platform at the imperial court or government level where everyone can sit down and discuss, the Gao family Children and grandchildren act as referees and final decision makers, trying to find the greatest common divisor among the contradictions of several major classes, and reach a mutual compromise between various interest groups.

This is not rambling in a dream, but feasible.

Some people may say that these parties are said to be several major classes, but in fact the number of people varies greatly, and the power in their hands is not equal. It may be difficult for some of them to find representative figures to participate in upper-level politics. How can we sit down and talk about it? ?

actually not.Later generations have more mature methods to refer to. For example, "work" can set up a national industry association, "agriculture" can set up a national agricultural association, "business" can set up a national business association, "study" can set up a national school association, " "Soldiers" can...well, "soldiers" are special, so they can't form an association. This force has to be directly controlled by the Gao family.

Create national associations of all levels, and then set up a system to allow them to select or vote within them, and finally select a group of people representing their interests to participate in the above-mentioned platform. Isn’t that all it takes?As for how many years these national associations have been in office, it is a trivial matter, and it can be determined by considering the actual situation at that time.

Next is the issue of strength. Generally speaking, the "soldier" must be the most threatening, after all, no one can withstand its rampage.In addition, it is a basic disk that must be directly controlled by the Gao family, so its basic interests must be guaranteed.

"Soldiers" are the army, and the interests of the army can be basically guaranteed, which means that the violent foundation of national rule will not be shaken, at least the situation in the late Ming Dynasty in the original history will not occur.

What was the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty?Let’s just talk about the army: firstly, the armies in various places cut their salaries substantially, and then owed wages on a large scale.

For example, since the Liao pay increase that started in the 46th year of Wanli could not fundamentally solve the internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty, and the millions of dollars in arrears caused by the Wei eunuch's corruption of ink military pay in the seventh year of the Apocalypse could not be made up.Therefore, when he arrived in Chongzhen, in order to solve the financial crisis, the sage took two measures: first, reduce the military pay of ordinary soldiers; second, increase the distribution of civilians.

The increase of the Chongzhen Dynasty was mainly the increase of the Liao pay and the additional suppression and training of the pay.Due to limited space, it is omitted here.The focus is on how Chongzhen passed on the financial crisis caused by millions of Zhu Ming royal families to ordinary soldiers.Since the first year of Chongzhen, Chongzhen has decreed to reduce the salaries of the troops on all sides.

For example: the Dongjiang salary quota was cut from 100 million taels to 24 taels, which caused Mao Wenlong to commit two crimes in Denglai; the Ji, Mi, and Yong three associations eliminated the new army, which triggered the mutiny of the Ji army in March of the second year of Chongzhen. The second Jizhou mutiny; Guan Ningjin Dengjin’s annual fee was reduced from more than 600 million to 480 million. Because of Yuan Chonghuan’s proper handling of this area and the relatively large basic salary of the Liaodong Army, it is fortunate that there was no second mutiny.

Just take the case of Jimiyong Sanxie's elimination of soldiers and salary cuts as an example.At that time, due to the shortage of money and food, Chongzhen ordered the towns to eliminate their troops.The governor of Shuntian, Wang Yingzhi, complied with the order of Jimiyong to disarm the army and reduce the salary by 50 yuan, which resulted in a mutiny.Chongzhen imprisoned Wang Yingzhi, beheaded him as a scapegoat, and replaced him with Wang Yuanya, continuing to reduce the army and pay.

There is a detailed record of this in the "Mountain Wenjianlu": "The imperial court was worried about the lack of salary, and blamed the towns for cleaning up. The Fu Wang Yingzhi obeyed the internal order, and the first performance was 50 yuan. Relying on the payment, Fu Zhi's rotation is fixed. Ying Zhi was confiscated by the car and placed in prison, and Wang Yuanya replaced him. Zhen Fushun Tian Yuanya, the master eliminated the payment as before, reduced the amount and combined the five, and the sharp whistle at each pass lost Qi Jiguang's legacy. "

It should be said that this document uses concise language to describe the reasons and process of the Jimi Miyong Sanxie's elimination of soldiers and salary cuts.However, since "The Record of Hearing and Seeing in the Mountains" was written in Nanming, it is not a memoir of the parties involved.If you want to understand the ins and outs of the entire Jimiyong Sanjiao disarmament incident, you still have to look at the original files at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, according to the "Records of Ming Xi Zong", the idea of ​​abolishing the Jimi Yongxin Army did not come out after Chongzhen came to power. It was proposed by the Ministry of Households at the end of December in the fifth year of Tianqi.But at that time, Ji Liao Governor Wang Zhichen made it clear that this was a bad idea.

Wang Zhichen gave a severe reprimand to the household department for the plan.What he meant was that the Jimen Gate was a very crucial point, and it would be fine if there was no increase in troops, but it would be a complete nonsense to withdraw new troops with combat effectiveness.

Because of the opposition of the ministers of the Liaodong Economic Strategy King, the disarmament plan of the Jimi Yong Sanxie in the fifth year of the Apocalypse was abandoned.

However, after Chongzhen came to power, the Jimiyong Three Consortium's disarmament plan was implemented. This time, there were also opposition, and the opponents were replaced by the new supervisor Yuan Chonghuan.However the objection is invalid.

Chongzhen wanted to save money and could not hear any objections, so he rejected Yuan Chonghuan's plan to increase troops in Jimiyong. There are clear records in the "Dengda Fangguanyuan Jimiyong Sanxie Bingshushu" in "Duzhizuoyi" and the six volumes of "Fu Dushi Ti each town's soldiers, horses, money and food system" in the new payment department.

There are many records, so I will not extract them here. In short, the original archives have very clear records of the causes of the disarmament of Jimiyong, and the governor (Jiliao Governor) and the (Zunhua Governor) are responsible for the elimination of recruits in Jimiyong. The imperial decree of Chongzhen.

Considering that "Dengda Fangguanyuan Jimiyong Sanxi Bing Paid Book" was written in July of the second year of Chongzhen, so the "supervisor" here is Liu Ce, and the "fu" is Wang Yuanya, which is consistent with the records in "Mountain Wenjianlu" Coincidence is not an isolated evidence.

蓟密永三协兵，一共有10万6千兵。这近11万大军的岁费为91万本折。而崇祯下旨裁掉的，是10万6千蓟军其中的33300新兵，在裁掉这3万多新兵后，蓟密永三协的岁费由91万降至75万。

Moreover, not only the annual fee of Jijun in the second year of Chongzhen was calculated and allocated according to 75, but the annual fee in the first year of Chongzhen was also settled according to the new amount reverted in two years.That is to say, the 75 in the second year of Chongzhen will be deducted from the so-called extra 16 in the first year of Chongzhen, and only 59 can be received.

Is that the end?No.For Ji Miyong, cutting the annual fee from 91 to 75 is only the first step, and there is still the issue of placement of the 33300 soldiers who were laid off.

The Ministry of War asked Yuan Chonghuan to claim 18000 of them, but Yuan Chonghuan was only willing to accept 12000.What's going on here?By continuing to check the original documents, it turns out that Guan Ning's annual fee is only 480 million, which is already stretched.

After Ji Miyong weeded out the recruits, 12190 recruits were indeed placed by Yuan Chonghuan into the Guanning establishment, and Yuan Chonghuan paid them from the 480 million Guanning quota.This incident also caused Bi Ziyan to doubt, saying that your 480 million yuan is already stretched. If you accept 7810 people from the Western Association, you will have to increase the salary by 13 to 14 yuan.

Therefore, Bi Ziyan discussed with Liu Ce that Yuan Chonghuan should not be burdened by the 7810 members stationed in Tashi Association.The reply from Chongzhen's imperial decree was that the placement of the [-] people in the Xixie Association should be discussed by the governor (that is, Liu Ce and Wang Yuanya).

Therefore, the result of the disarmament of 33300 recruits in Jimiyong was that 12000 soldiers were paid by Liao Town and stayed in Jimen to continue serving, and 7810 of them were paid by Ji Town and stayed in Xixie to continue serving.

Although the 12000 in the Jimi Yong new army are still in Jimen, they are paid out of Guanning's 480 million quota and become part of Guanning's 16 army.Therefore, the disarmament process of Ji Miyong has been explained clearly. Chongzhen cut off 33300 soldiers, but actually only 13300 soldiers were cut, because 20000 of them were taken over by Guan Ning and Ji Miyong himself.

所以，实际上崇祯二年蓟密永兵和饷应该是这样的一个情形：兵数由105968人减为105968-33300+7810=80478人。兵饷由91万本折变为59万。

As we all know, Ji Miyong eliminated soldiers and cut salaries, which caused an unprecedented tragic tragedy, which directly affected the war situation in the late Ming Dynasty. This is the consequence of the shaken army as the foundation of national violence.

The reason why Gao Yushi thinks that the military interests of southern Xinjiang must be directly represented by the Gao family, of course, it can be said that he considers the security of the rule, but why is it not for the sake of southern Xinjiang not following the old path of the late Ming Dynasty in the original history?

Speaking of other classes, it is often difficult to separate the two families of industry and commerce, especially before "large-scale industrialization", many businessmen were originally large and small factory owners.However, the two can still be separated forcibly. The method is to distinguish between "production type" or "trade type". , forcing them to choose the main business.

In short, at that time, except that Jinghua may exist as a "state-owned enterprise" to some extent, other chaebols that may be suspected of monopoly will have to be dismantled in advance, and at the same time let them specialize in a certain direction instead of covering the entire industry— —That can only be done by Jinghua as a state-owned enterprise.Otherwise, wouldn't you have become an independent kingdom, the same as the current Jinghua?

The current Jinghua is completely an independent kingdom, with commerce, industry, agriculture, and the army. If it is as Liu Xin envisioned, Jinghua will establish an independent country in the future, or take a step back and establish the Southern Border Protectorate. So first of all, the army must be separated from it.

The point of "agriculture" here may not be obvious to readers, but perhaps some readers remember that when Gao Wushi first took down Annan, Jinghua gave himself the Red River Delta Circle.Afterwards, it will probably be similar. After winning a certain place, a group of diehards will inevitably be wiped out, and the land they left behind will naturally be accepted by Jinghua.

This is the case in southern Xinjiang, and the Nanyang islands, including Luzon, are more convenient. There are many unowned wastelands in the local area, which are actually ready for development. Jinghua takes all these lands according to the order.

Then, through a large number of immigrants from Daming, Jinghua transferred part of the land to them in accordance with the provisions of the "Naturalization Household Registration System" and "Collision Law", and began to collect taxes after the tax holiday ended. agriculture".

Of course, more than that, Jinghua still has a large amount of—maybe it should be said—massive land in its hands, which is directly leased to the local people as a landlord for cultivation, and Jinghua only needs to collect the rent.

Oh, by the way, the [-] hectares of land previously "tributed" to the emperor also came from here, and... [-] hectares do not account for a high proportion of the total land held by Jinghua.

All in all, Jinghua, or Gao Yushi, is the largest landlord in southern Xinjiang, and there is absolutely no "one".

Of course, if one day Southern Xinjiang will establish a state or become the Protectorate of the Metropolitan Government, many assets of "Jinghua" will be confiscated.

In the highly pragmatic plan, Jinghua will be divided into two by then.In principle, the part that involves the national economy and the people's livelihood will directly become "state-owned assets", while the rest will become the private assets of the Gao family, which may also be called "royal assets".

It’s far away. In short, if Nanjiang is established or becomes the protectorate of the capital in the future, the Gao family will definitely move from Xinzheng to Dingnan. The Gao family will gradually "localize in southern Xinjiang", but the family memory of the Gao family will always be Remembering that they are from the Central Plains, it will arouse their yearning for the Central Plains, intending to obtain the "ancestral land".

The longing for the "land of the ancestors", as Liu Xin said, may also be one of the bottom-level thinking of the Chinese people.

In this way, once Daming is weak, even if Gao Yushi sets the ancestral system and requires future generations not to invade Daming, it will probably be useless. He will definitely be overthrown by the officials of the Gao family who also have the ambition to go north at the time, and find " "reasonable" reasons, to make the decision to go north.
