Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 158 The Great Ming Heroes Monument

Daming, which was in a state of rotten top and bottom, intensified internal conflicts, and frequent disasters, had to be diligent in administration if it wanted to get rid of its original fate, but for Emperor Chongzhen, he knew what to do and what not to do.

For example, the early dynasty, which was already a mere formality, Emperor Chongzhen didn't plan to do it every day, except to abide by the cumbersome etiquette and talk some useless nonsense, which was purely a waste of time and affected the efficiency of the country's affairs.

"Wang Banban, have all the ministers and counselors from the Military Aircraft Department sat down in the official office?" Emperor Chongzhen, who was leaning on the dragon chariot, was in a good mood, and said to Wang Chengen, who was accompanying him.

"Yes, my lord."

Wang Chengen bowed slightly.

The Military Plane Department was set up by the cabinet to check and balance. It was set up in order to achieve Gan Gang's arbitrary political goals when Jianlu invaded the Ming Dynasty.

Although the first battle of Jianlu's invasion of Ming Dynasty was over, Emperor Chongzhen did not plan to abolish the Military Aircraft Department, and planned to further strengthen the Military Aircraft Department.

According to Emperor Chongzhen's conception, the Military Aircraft Department will be fully responsible for the wars inside and outside the Ming Dynasty, bypassing the cabinet, so as to achieve what is planned and reach the front line as soon as possible.

Right now he is going to the Military Aircraft Department to express his thoughts on important matters such as post-war rewards, promotions, and pensions, and to help the Military Aircraft Department handle them as soon as possible.

This time when Jianlu invaded Ming Dynasty, whether it was the soldiers and horses who accompanied them to the battle, or the reinforcements and bravery who came to King Qin to save the country under the edict of suppressing chaos and saving the country, they must be rewarded according to the corresponding military achievements, otherwise how can they convince the masses? ?

Rewards and punishments are fundamental.

It's just that the rewards and pensions involved this time will inevitably require a large amount of money and food, and based on the current situation of the treasury of the foreign dynasty, it will definitely not be enough.

According to the current unspoken rules of the court, if this happens, the officials in the court will try to delay the award. It is just a group of Qiuba, and it is their honor to die for the country.

However, Emperor Chongzhen did not intend to do this.

Considering the current situation of Ming Dynasty, a strong army is needed to suppress the rebellion. Liaodong needs it, and the Shanshan area also needs it. If there is no stable situation in the north, it will inevitably cause a series of chain reactions.

If everything goes according to the original track, wouldn't that chill the hearts of those groups who still have Ming in their hearts?Then, can he still hold on to his position as the Son of Heaven?
After all, Daming has already encountered a lot of problems and difficulties. If a group of people are chilled, and Daming encounters problems again in the future, who the hell will do it.

This is why Emperor Chongzhen wanted to purge the inner court first.

First practice with the Shuoshu, which is deeply hidden in the inner court, which can not only deter the inner court, but also get a large amount of money, grain, land, etc., to lay the foundation for the next deployment.

why not?

As for what the foreign court thinks, it is not for Emperor Chongzhen to consider.

"I'm waiting to meet your Majesty!"

When Emperor Chongzhen came to the office of the Military Aircraft Department, the ministers of military discipline and counselors headed by Wang Qia and Li Banghua hurriedly bowed their hands and saluted.

"Okay, let's all be free."

Emperor Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair, waved his hand and said, "Jianlu's invasion of Daming is now considered to be over, but matters related to the aftermath must also be done well. Let's make a regulation for these matters today."

The people lined up in order showed different expressions, and they were all ready to listen to the emperor's intention first, and then they were acting according to the rules.

"Wang Qing, Li Qing."

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wang Qia and Li Banghua, frowned slightly and said: "This time, I will personally march against the invading Jian captives, and you will all accompany you to the battle, and you know all the soldiers and horses on the front line very well.

The next few things I want to talk about need you two to take the lead and finish them as soon as possible.

First, order the Yongwei Battalion, Tianxiong Army, Zhongyong Army and other major armies to submit the rosters of meritorious and disabled soldiers under their respective command as soon as possible.

Second, I decided to build a monument to heroes of the Ming Dynasty outside Chengtian Gate, and put the ashes of the athletes who died in the battle in the monument. I want everyone in the Ming Dynasty to know the great achievements of these athletes!

Third, to count the family members of the athletes who died in battle, in addition to the pensions to be given by the court, there are two criteria, one with siblings and one without siblings.

If the former family is willing, they can choose to join the Yongwei Camp, Zhongyong Army, and Tianxiong Army. The latter are all concentrated in the capital and supported by the inner court.

Fourth, during the invasion of Daming by Inspector Jianlu, the guards in various places under the rule of Beizhili reported that those who escaped from their households would be expelled from the military household registration, and those involved in all levels of the guards would be dismissed and investigated. "

Wang Qia and Li Banghua were astonished and looked at each other in disbelief. They couldn't believe what Emperor Chongzhen said. They could still understand the first regulation. For meritorious service, they must be rewarded.

However, if you want to implement the following articles of association one by one, it will be quite difficult. After all, there are many levels involved, and the workload can be imagined.

In particular, there was no precedent in Ming Dynasty for the construction of the Monument to Heroes of the Ming Dynasty outside Chengtian Gate. If it was spread, it would definitely cause quite a stir.

"Your Majesty, if you want to complete the regulations you mentioned one by one, you must rely on the existing manpower of the Military Aircraft Department. I'm afraid it won't be enough." Let's talk about the difficulties of the military aircraft department.

"It's easy to handle."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "If you don't have enough manpower, expand the staff. In the past two days, I will select a group of officials to supplement the army."

Now that such a crucial government office as the Military Aircraft Department is in your hands, don't expect anyone else to be able to erase it from your own hands.

Listening to what the emperor said, whether Wang Qia, Li Banghua, Zhou Yanru, Xu Guangqi, or Wen Tiren, they all obviously sensed different signals.

The Son of Heaven attached great importance to the Military Aircraft Department, and even if it was from the outer court to persuade the Emperor to abolish the Military Aircraft Department, the Emperor would not agree.

"I know that you will inevitably have some opinions and puzzles about the construction of the monument to the heroes of the Ming Dynasty, and it is still in an important place like Chengtianmen."

Looking at the people with different expressions, Emperor Chongzhen knocked on the dragon case and said: "But what I want to say is that the athletes who died for my Ming Dynasty deserve this respect. If they hadn't fought bloody battles on the battlefield, There is no such thing as you waiting to work as an official in the capital with peace of mind."

If you want to reverse the political ecology of Ming Dynasty's "civilian is noble and military is inferior", you must first start from the subtleties. If you want to eat a fat man, it is definitely impossible.

The military power that has been grasped is one point, the construction of the monument to the heroes of the Ming Dynasty is one point, and the widows of soldiers who died in battle are treated kindly. Emperor Chongzhen will use his own methods to adjust the unbalanced Ming Dynasty political arena.
