Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 336
Cheng Ji ordered to use the matter of military expansion to admonish Emperor Chongzhen to understand that Jin Yiwei supervised the Jingtong corruption case, and what Han Jisi did touched the tense nerves of many civil officials in the court.

When darkness becomes the norm, officials who can do things become different.

If they don't toss about things to divert their attention, so as to obstruct these things secretly, then their heads will really be put on a tight band.

As the power center of the Ming Dynasty, the huge team of officials in Beijing came from all corners of the country in the Ming Dynasty.

It is absolutely impossible to find out which groups these people represent and what interests they have.

Now most people want to be bad, but Emperor Chongzhen doesn't want to be bad, and wants to lead those pragmatic and good officials to change this unhealthy atmosphere together.

This made many people feel uneasy.

Can killing one person solve Daming's bad governance?
Can killing a group of people eradicate Daming's cancer?
What will the gentry, big and small landlords represented behind these killed officials do?Emperor Chongzhen could think of everything.

Killing without any righteousness will only make the world and himself alienated. Emperor Chongzhen knew the pros and cons of this.

Rule the world with the scholar-officials.

Although the Son of Heaven never said it, in fact, when he ruled the world, many things he did were done according to the rules of the game.

"Since you want to fight, I will accompany you to the end." Emperor Chongzhen's eyes shone brightly, looking at the memorials scattered in the hall, he murmured, "If I can't implement the new rules for the administration of officials this time, Come down, after that, the court will be at your mercy!"

In Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Finance of the Ming Dynasty, he did not clarify the taxation system of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, many newly clarified taxes such as customs tax and tariffs will be implemented to the areas that want to be covered.

Emperor Chongzhen's attitude towards the court was to use it when it could be used, to support the pragmatic officials to do things, and to use the inner court and factory guards to make many plans of his own if he couldn't use it.

Emperor Chongzhen would not waste even one or two of the precious silver accumulated in the internal funds.

Build a state-run economy.

Expand the new army.

Add lecture hall.

Prepare to build a military system and so on.

There are still many things waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to do.

……

When there was some turmoil in the capital, Tianjin, which was far away in the capital, became uneasy. Chen Yansheng, the prefect of Tianjin, was under a lot of pressure.

"General Li, what's the current situation outside Tianjin Acropolis?"

Chen Yansheng held the teacup, handed it to Li Mingzhong, and asked, "Has the order stabilized? Have all the small households who gathered to make trouble before been suppressed?"

"The situation has stabilized."

Li Mingzhong took the teacup, nodded slightly, then frowned and said: "But the situation is weird, the elites under my command often go to the place where the incident happened, but the troublemakers have disappeared strangely.

once.

Twice this way.

Chen Zhizhou, don't you think it's tricky? "

"Hehe~"

Chen Yansheng shook his head with a smile, and said: "How can there be no tricks? Ever since I left Beijing for Tianjin, General Li has not noticed that this Tianjin boundary is full of weirdness?

Headed by Mei Yingwu, the former commander of Tianjin Youwei, this group of world-class workers who had hereditary Tianjin Sanwei refused to perform their duties under the Tianjin New Army.

After the announcement of His Majesty's imperial edict, the abolition of Tianjin's three guards, and the establishment of Tianjin Zhili Prefecture, the atmosphere in Tianjin is changing. "

"Speaking of Mei Yingwu and the others, the power of these local snakes is really intricate."

Li Mingzhong frowned tightly, and said: "Generations have been inherited from generation to generation, and various in-law relationships are complicated. If we say that the Mei family is much stronger than the Zhao family and the Ni family.

I led my own troops to control the guards of the three guards in Tianjin, and only eliminated stragglers accounted for [-]% of them.

Originally, I wanted to lead the soldiers under my command to take down the local snakes headed by the Mei family, but right after Tianjin, various problems arose. "

Under the rule of Ming Dynasty, in addition to the hereditary emperor, there were also many hereditary groups, such as suzerains, vassals, relatives, guards and so on.

Aside from the vassals and relatives, these two special groups.

Only the hereditary guard officer.

Although they were invisible in the officialdom of Ming Dynasty, there were many problems left over.

It is true that the Ming Dynasty had a political ecology in which the nobles were noble and the martial arts were humble, but these hereditary guard officials, in the local area, especially in the territory they governed, were definitely like local overlords.

The Weisuo system established in the early Ming Dynasty was originally needed to stabilize the country and help the country consolidate the local area, but as time went by, it became a cancer attached to Daming.

"This is Mei Yingwu and his gang. They smell some danger."

Chen Yansheng said with a cold expression: "Apart from these gangsters, Jinmen is the thoroughfare to the north of Zhili, and it is also the gateway to defend the capital.

Here... a lot of dignitaries from the capital, followers of officials and gentry gathered. With the convenience of water transport and the power in their hands, they formed a more complicated network of relationships in Jinmen.

These days, the state has been sorting out these relationships.

If you want to call Tianjin Zhili Prefecture and truly implement the central purpose, you must solve some problems, kill a group of people, and deter the talents of Tianjin! "

"But the key to the current problem, we are simply unable to do it."

Li Mingzhong stretched out his hand and said: "The Tianjin New Army under my general's command has more than [-] troops at full strength, if you want to recruit new soldiers, it is impossible to start.

Coupled with the occasional gathering of crowds to make troubles and occasional dispersal of the small households, it is necessary to suppress these guys and ensure the safety of the Tianjin Acropolis, this is simply..."

Li Mingzhong had risen from Dongjiang Town to the time he was transferred to Sun Zushou's command, but he had never encountered such aggrieved things. This kind of feeling that he couldn't hold back his strength was really too depressing.

When I was working in the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion, the things I did were always according to the emperor's will, so I didn't need to pay attention to them at all. I just did what I said to the Chinese officials.

Even if there are any problems, they don't need to think about other things, as long as they do their jobs well, if there are big things, someone above them will take care of them.

"General Li, there is no need to worry."

Chen Yansheng smiled, and said comfortingly: "Benzhou has thought of a perfect plan. Tomorrow, Benzhou hopes that General Li will invite Zhao Xingzhong, the former commander of Tianjin Zuowei, to a banquet in your name!

This person is the key to solving the predicament in Tianjin. As long as we can win him, even if we promise some benefits, it will be beneficial to us.

Don't forget, the Son of Heaven is waiting for me in the capital. If at the end of the day, the good news doesn't reach Tianjin and cause chaos in Tianjin, then even if I commit suicide, I won't be able to apologize! "
