Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 301
The general political ecology of the Ming Dynasty showed a trend of "the gentlemen are noble and the military are inferior". This is not something that can be solved by simply promoting a few people.

In particular, the system of Ming Dynasty, in a sense, is a relatively perfect mechanism for the operation of officialdom.

If there is no influence of the Little Ice Age, and it is not under the rule of Ming Dynasty, it will cause frequent natural disasters and form a heavy deficit burden on Daming's finances.

That mere Jianlu Eight Banners, even if it is a smashing of money, can kill the Jianlu Eight Banners.

But everything came together anyway.

This pair of Daming, who was rotten up and down, was more or less unable to bear it.

'Let's use Tianjin Zhili Prefecture first to start a new round of layout. '

Looking at the people who left with their own thoughts, Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, said secretly in his heart: "Withdrawing the guards and establishing a prefecture in Tianjin has a strong political purpose."

If this matter is achieved and corresponding results are achieved, it will have an extremely positive effect on the subsequent layout in Liaodong, and even the adjustment of the entire Northern Zhili. '

Manufactured by the Great Ming Guards, this artifact of the Ming dynasty, gradually became one of the malignant tumors that consumed the vitality of the Ming Dynasty as time went by, and with the gradual evacuation of the five armies' governor's mansions.

And when it comes to this matter, I have to mention that the iron rice bowl-like household registration system of the Ming Dynasty, which was also an artifact of the country in the early Ming Dynasty, has now become one of the cancers of the Ming Dynasty.

The rigid household registration system of the Ming Dynasty made the children and grandchildren do what the ancestors did.

Like.

Those who pick up big dung will pick up big dung for generations.

Those who farm the land will farm the land from generation to generation.

Those who are blacksmiths will be blacksmiths for generations.

A system like this is indeed a good policy for maintaining stability in the early Ming Dynasty when just coming out of the war-torn era of warlords vying for hegemony.

But with the passage of time, with the rapid increase of the population, and with the seriousness of land annexation, various problems and contradictions have gradually been exposed.

The Ming Dynasty of the Chongzhen Dynasty, even if it echoed the old saying, a dynasty under the feudal system was enlightened in the early days of the founding of the country, prosperous in the middle period, and declining in the late period.

Exactly... Emperor Chongzhen was in a period of decline.

Simple diligence and self-denial, not wanting to come up with a practical solution, even if you exhaust yourself to death, it will not change the established destiny.

"My lord...Chen Yansheng and Li Mingzhong are asking to see you."

Han Zanzhou bowed his body and walked into the East Nuan Pavilion, and cupped his hands at the thoughtful Emperor Chongzhen.

"Announce it."

The matter of evacuating the guards and setting up the state in Tianjin is not as simple as it is said to be. During this period, many levels are involved. It is not easy to do this well.

Compared with the temporarily established Tianjin governor and Tianjin general officer.

Tianjin Sanwei is permanent.

There is also a Tianjin to rectify the military preparations.

Moreover, Tianjin is the hub of the water transportation thoroughfare in Northern Zhili.

On the capital side, as long as there are powerful and powerful masters, most of them are on the Tianjin side, sending people to run their own industries.

The water transport formed around the Grand Canal was the economic lifeline for maintaining the stability of the Ming Dynasty.

Daming was able to pursue the concept of 'the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country', which is supported by water transport. If there is no water transport for south-to-north grain transport, it is better to rest as soon as possible.

"Chen Yansheng...greetings to Your Majesty!"

"The last general Li Mingzhong...greetings to His Majesty!"

Chen Yansheng, prefect of Tianjin.

Tianjin General Li Mingzhong.

This was something that Emperor Chongzhen made clear in his heart after several screenings.

"Excuse me."

Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand to signal, and said indifferently: "Han Zanzhou, give the two Qings a seat to watch tea."

"Here!"

Under the suspicious gaze of the two, Han Zanzhou commanded the eunuchs outside the hall to come in to move the pier and serve tea, which made Chen Yansheng and Li Mingzhong somewhat panicked.

They didn't quite understand why the emperor treated them so courteously.

"You two gentlemen, I have something to tell you."

Emperor Chongzhen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said: "I plan to withdraw the guards and set up a prefecture in Tianjin, and the cabinet and military aircraft department, I have asked them to issue an order.

Chen Qing will take up the prefecture position in Tianjin. I have drawn up a detailed document on what needs to be done. At that time, Chen Qing can take into account the actual situation in Tianjin and act according to the plan.

The position of General Tianjin will be held by Li Qing, and I have also drawn up a detailed document.

Li Qing served as the general of Tianjin and dispatched [-] elite soldiers from the Zhongyong Army. In addition, I selected a group of generals from the Xiyuan Lecture Hall to go to Tianjin with Li Qing.

After taking office, we will eliminate soldiers and reduce salaries, and the number of people under our jurisdiction will be [-]. If we are ordered to aid Liao, or are ordered to aid Liao, we can temporarily recruit auxiliary soldiers to accompany the army. "

"..."

Chen Yansheng and Li Mingzhong showed astonishment, listening to what the emperor said, Han Zanzhou walked towards them with two documents in his hand.

The two who got the documents looked at each other in astonishment. They really didn't expect the emperor to do such a big thing, and even entrusted them with a heavy responsibility.

There are too many interests involved in the matter of withdrawing the guards and setting up the state, and it is still an important place like Tianjin. If it is really done, it will cause a lot of trouble between the government and the opposition.

"You two gentlemen, I know that you have corresponding scruples and thoughts in your hearts."

Emperor Chongzhen stood up, walked towards Chen Yansheng and the others slowly, and said with a serious expression: "But the boundary of Tianjin is too important.

I am very dissatisfied with Tianjin.

If this is not possible, then sooner or later there will be big problems in Tianjin.

One of you manages the people and the other manages the army. If you want to do this well, you must cooperate with each other instead of tearing each other down. This point must be kept in mind.

When the Zhili Prefecture in Tianjin can really show up, it will play a vital role in Guochao's subsequent attack on Liaodong. "

"The minister leads the order!"

"The commander's decree!"

Emperor Chongzhen had no doubts about the loyalty of Chen and Li.

Compared with Chen Yansheng, who was discovered during the confrontation with Jianlu, his ability is acceptable, and his horizons have also been broadened a lot during the period of leading the military plane.

Especially when planning the Liaodong strategy, Chen Yansheng also participated in it and knew some secrets.

At the beginning, he was transferred from the Military Aircraft Department to work under Sun Chuanting's command, which was to be gilded and accumulate experience, in order to withdraw the guards from Tianjin and set up a prefecture.

As for Li Mingzhong, there is no need to mention it.

As Mao Wenlong's former subordinates, they rebelled against Kong Youde and tried to persuade him to betray Ming Dynasty, but they flatly refused. How could the Emperor Chongzhen not use such a loyal person? !
In addition, Li Mingzhong was transferred to Sun Zushou's command, and when he was in Xiumu, he even went to the Xiyuan Lecture Hall for further training. He must be the general of Tianjin!

"Go."

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said: "Give me ten days to familiarize yourself with the situation and make all the preparations before going to Tianjin. I will wait for the good news in the Forbidden City."
