Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 908 Is there a shortage in Liaodong?
It's not easy to intervene in these words, so I can only say: "I have received the favor of two generations of emperors, this trip is just..."

"Hey, don't say these things, and there are no outsiders." Zhu Yijun interrupted directly: "But what? No one can do better than you."

"But the Tumen still ran away." Gao Wushi sighed, and said it as if it was true: "If the minister was more decisive at that time, maybe Meng Yuan would have disappeared by now."

Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily the case. If the Meng Yuan is so easy to destroy, how did they survive in the past 200 years? Their profuse defeats are not once or twice, and the death of a profuse does not mean that they will perish. I think your previous idea is the safest. We are still young, so we just take it one step at a time, and there is no need to rush to win a battle.

As for whether to be decisive at the time, I don’t think it’s a problem. At that time, you chose to reorganize the remnants of Xin’ai, which itself was a move to seek stability. Daming is not Meng Yuan, and stability is the right thing to do. "

Gao Yushi is very pleased. Although Zhu Yijun is a young emperor, his temperament is completely different from that of Zhengde back then, and also different from his imperial grandfather Jiajing. He is already the kind that civil servants like.

Zhengde is not necessarily bad, and Jiajing is not necessarily bad, but such an emperor will lead to a complete separation of imperial power and courtiers. From the perspective of the entire country, it is serious internal friction, which is very bad.

Just like Wanli in history, his "rebellion" is actually far inferior to that of Zhengde and Jiajing, but the "controversy between the country and the country" still caused a lot of trouble in the end. This is a typical internal friction.

There were many reasons for the demise of Ming Dynasty, and internal friction must be one of the most important ones.

Unity is strength. This sentence is definitely not a simple slogan, but the truth.

Of course, it doesn't necessarily mean that the emperor should obediently obey the mercy of the civil official group and become a marionette of the civil official group.

In fact, politics should not be a zero-sum game. It should be, and can only be, a product of compromise. Politicians who do not know how to compromise cannot accomplish anything.

Unless you can really hit the whole world with your own power, unfortunately, that can only be fantasy.

In history, no one can do this, even with the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties, they could not beat the whole world; even though Temujin was strong, he died in the conquest of Xixia.

When the British Empire was at its strongest, it was only an "offshore balancer"; Napoleon's crossing of Europa also defeated Moscow...

Moreover, the strength itself first comes from internal unity.

Like Zhengde, the emperor and his subjects are separated, and the monarch and his subjects share different dreams. Can we expect a prosperous age to appear?
Even though the emperor of Ming Dynasty can do whatever he wants as long as he dares to be "shameless", but the courtiers can't oppose you on the surface, can't they still obey you?In the final analysis, what Zhengde did was just a lack of means.

Jiajing was better at first, but unfortunately he was more than smart, but not ambitious enough. He didn't really think about becoming a wise king, but fell into a wrong path. He only wanted to live forever, and finally became a joke.

Wanli... The evaluations in history are polarized. Most people in later generations only look at the surface, or are influenced by certain works, and only see the bad side; some people find many records to prove that he is actually an emperor. good.

But in any case, he failed to solve some deep-seated problems, such as the contradiction between the emperor and civil officials, the conflict between the ancestral system and reality, and so on.

Gao Wuzhen is gratified that under his influence, Zhu Yijun is now more mature than in history, at least he will not look at problems so simply, and he will not be so impatient in doing things. For the young emperor, it is not easy.

"With the emperor's words, I have nothing else to worry about." Gao Wushi sighed.

Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "I originally wanted you to go to Shanxi to preside over the rural examination, but now it seems that you have answered what you said at the beginning: the plan cannot keep up with the changes. With such a big change in the situation in Mongolia, the focus of the court must be shifted next." To Chahar's side, but Liang Menglong is okay to say, Zhou Yong, I always feel that his ability is a little insufficient..."

Liang Menglong was Zhang Juzheng's protégé, but he was capable. Gao Gong didn't move him back then, and he was promoted all the way. Guo Pu also inherited Gao Gong's management and still kept his position. This person is now the governor of Jiliao.

In fact, after Zhang Juzheng stepped down, he did not tell his sons about his old grievances. It may also be because Gao Dang did not completely "clean up" his disciples-of course, not completely clearing up does not mean that he has not cleaned up.

As for Zhou Yong, this person is the current governor of Liaodong, and used to be Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple.On the whole, this person has basically done nothing in Liaodong.

In fact, there are some merits, but they are all Li Chengliang's military exploits. As the governor of Liaodong, he will definitely benefit from it-just like the leadership of later generations.But in fact, everyone knows that any Liaodong governor can be replaced at random, as long as Li Chengliang is not held back, these credits are appropriate.

But the officialdom has its own rules and regulations, since there is nothing wrong with it, even the emperor has no reason to blow him up out of nowhere.

And when Zhu Yijun said this, Gao Wushi knew what he meant - did he want to be the governor of Liaodong?
The position itself, Gao Pragmatism thinks it is good. If he is transferred to Liaodong, there are really many things he can do.But there is a big problem here, how can he be qualified as the governor of Liaodong with his senior qualifications?
A year ago, he was only a grade seven!He was still white two years ago!

Gao Wushi thought for a while and said, "Does the emperor want my ministers to go to Liaodong to help Zhou Junmen? If that's the case, maybe you can see if the deputy envoy of Ningqian Bingbei, Liaohai Bingbei's participation in politics, or Liaodong Yuanma Siqing are there?" lack."

Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Bing Bei Dao? You commanded soldiers in several towns not long ago. If you go to Liaodong now and just be a soldier Bei Dao...it's not appropriate, it's not justified."

Ningqian Bingbei Deputy Envoy, Liaohai Bingbei Participating in Politics, or Liaodong Yuanma Siqing are all at the level of Bingbei Dao. The former two can be known by their names, so there is no need to explain, but the latter can be explained.

Yuanma Temple in Liaodong sounds like a department in charge of military horses. This... used to be true, but then there were some changes unique to the Ming Dynasty, so that this position was merged with another military and military position. He appointed a new post, the full title of which is "Deputy envoy to rectify Haigai and manage military preparations at Tuntian Yuanma Temple".

Judging from the name, the military equipment manages Haizhou and Gaizhou.

In fact, it is more than that. In the 31st year of Jiajing, the army or Ma Siqing of Liaodong Yuan had already managed the three states of Jin, Hai, and Gai. In the eighth year of Wanli, Fuzhou was also added to become Bingbeidao, which manages the entire Jin, Fu, Hai, and Gai prefectures—how big is this area?
Well, to put it simply, the entire "peninsula" area of ​​the Liaodong Peninsula is under his control.

If it must be calculated according to the area, the jurisdiction of the Bingbei Road can probably account for about two-fifths of the entire Liaodong.

And the most important thing is that most of the seaside part of Liaodong is in his hands.

Gao Wushi considered it carefully and said: "Your Majesty, Zhou Yong has meritorious service without any faults. Yi Zhi is afraid of being criticized, and the minister is a poor student, so how can he suddenly rise to a high position? Even when it comes to the military exploits in Monan, it is already enough to be able to prepare for a soldier. It’s the ultimate. In addition, I have done a little research on Haidao, so if I go to Liaodong and work on the seaside, I might be able to develop something.”

Zhu Yijun still frowned, and asked back: "But if you only want to be a soldier, what will happen to Li Chengliang?"

Well, Li Chengliang has just made a great contribution under my command, but you are still determined to let him have a long memory?However, this is not impossible. After all, if he is allowed to do what he did in history, Liaodong will deteriorate sooner or later.

As for me going to Liaodong to work as a soldier, is there nothing I can do with Li Chengliang... Hehe!
