Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

"Hey"

When mentioning their own Emperor Chongzhen, these noble children couldn't help but sigh.

In today's Beijing camp, there is really a mix of good and bad.

Some of these honorable sons are proficient in the art of war and military strategy, and they intend to serve the country on the battlefield and rebuild their family's glory; .

It is undoubtedly a disaster for the soldiers of the three battalions that these various honorable children serve as the chief officers of the first army.

The three major battalions are the elite of the imperial court, and the 20 soldiers in them are brave on the battlefield who have been trained day and night by the New Party.

If this vigor and spirit were to be harmed by these people, how much combat power would the three battalions be able to maintain?

However, Emperor Chongzhen was very confident. He believed that the nobles supported him and would help him train the three battalions.

And Emperor Chongzhen was a man who valued literature over martial arts. He was a man of civilized youth who despised warriors. Since he ascended to Dabao, he never came to the three major battalions. Every time he asked the nobles to enter the palace to narrate the real situation of the three major battalions. Who knows?

"Everyone, no matter how you say it, if you only distribute treasure notes to the soldiers, and don't give any rice or grain, how can the morale of the army be stable?" A young honorable son obviously couldn't stand it.

What are treasures now?
How much is it worth?

A sack of banknotes can't be exchanged for a penny, so what's the difference between it and waste paper?
It is really a good deal to give these waste papers to the soldiers of the three battalions as military pay!
Another Xungui disciple said coldly, "That's what Duke Cheng meant, so what can we do?"

Cheng Guogong!
Zhu Chunchen!
The heir of Zhu Neng, the famous general of Jing Nan, the Duke of the Dynasty, the Governor of the Five Armies and the Governor's Mansion, he is in charge of the three major battalions of the capital with 20 soldiers and horses. He is a real general.

What does this boss mean, why do they, the sons of Uncle Ho, object?

"What does Cheng Guogong think? Doesn't he know that this will shake the morale of the three battalions?"

The elites of the three major battalions are the result of day and night training, fighting in the battlefield, pouring out real money, and feeding them with three meals a day.

How can an army become an elite without daily training, martial arts performances, rewards of real money, and even three meals a day?
In the end, all they got was a group of mobs who fled the battle.

One of the honorable sons knew something inside, and he said helplessly, "This is the cabinet's intention. Now that the world is in turmoil, the money seems worthless."

"The cabinet has proposed a measure, and His Majesty has issued an order. In the future, the treasure banknotes will be the legal currency of Ming Dynasty and the transaction currency of the people. In addition, the people cannot use gold and silver transactions. The tax of the imperial court is to collect real gold. Silver, in order to bring back the value of the banknotes, so as not to cause prices to collapse.”

Hearing this method, all the disciples of Xungui didn't know what to say. What kind of method is this? This is to make the world completely chaotic!
Gold and silver are not allowed to be used in private transactions, only precious banknotes are allowed, and the imperial court issued precious banknotes, but the imperial court collects taxes and only collects gold and silver. Is this more than absurd?

Wouldn't someone with a heart take advantage of this to make trouble?
"Oh, how difficult the current situation is." Qian Qianyi sighed in the mansion.

Shi Fenglai on the side was also silent.

"Why did Mr. Wen Ge come up with such a policy of harming the country? Doesn't he know how many corrupt officials and mediocre ministers there are in the world today? Such a plan will only cause chaos in the world. I don't know how many troubles these corrupt officials will cause! "Shi Fenglai still couldn't help cursing a few words.

It is obvious that Shi Fenglai intends to make some achievements in taking the position of cabinet scholar.

But now that Wen Tiren's method comes out, how many years can the order in the world be maintained tomorrow?

Qian Qianyi drank his tea expressionlessly: "This method is obviously approved by His Majesty, and His Majesty has approved it. What else can we do? Are we going to contradict His Majesty?"

Qian Qianyi now feels more and more that his original decision was wrong.

Why does he insist on fighting for the position of chief assistant? Now this position is simply a crater, and anyone who sits here will burn his ass.

The head of the cabinet, the head of civil servants, and the central decision-maker of the Ming court, every decision affects thousands of people inside and outside the court.

This is a huge and incomparable right, and it also requires sufficient prestige, strong wrists and the ability to govern the country.

And these, Qian Qianyi is not without, but in terms of reputation, skill, ability and other aspects, they are much worse than Zhang Haogu.

In fact, Qian Qianyi's ability is not bad, but compared with Zhang Haogu and other evildoers, it is still far behind. This leads to the fact that when Zhang Haogu leaves the cabinet and Qian Qianyi makes up, compared to the former, The latter is unqualified no matter how you look at it.

As for the bachelors in the cabinet, who are Wen Tiren, Yang Changsi, Shi Fenglai, Liu Hongxun, and Qiao Yunsheng who are easy to get along with?
Zhang Haogu is in this position, everyone surrenders, but he Qian Qianyi is in this position, who is really convinced?

If they are really convinced, why are these people so obedient and disobedient? If they don't hold back, why are there so many corrupt officials in the world tomorrow?
As the chief assistant of the cabinet, when he took office, the economy of Ming Dynasty was in decline, the land was barren, the people's livelihood was difficult, the world was in turmoil, and corrupt officials were rampant. This cabinet chief assistant should not let people poke the backbone?

How will the history books of later generations evaluate him as the chief minister of the cabinet?

Thinking of this, Qian Qianyi couldn't help sighing again. In the final analysis, he is only the chief minister of the cabinet, the emperor's secretary-general, and Zhang Haogu, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, is the real court speaker.

Shi Fenglai looked at Qian Qianyi, and shook his head secretly again. With Qian Qianyi's appearance, it would be difficult to be a cabinet assistant, so why should he be the cabinet chief assistant?

If it wasn't for Qian Qianyi appointed by Zhang Haogu, and the emperor gave him a chance, would Qian Qianyi be the chief assistant?
Shi Fenglai thought that being the chief assistant of the cabinet was not bad. After all, Qian Qianyi was just a cabinet minister.

Qian Qianyi and Shi Fenglai have their own careful thoughts when facing each other, not to mention the many elders in the cabinet of the Chongzhen Dynasty. Except that Sun Chengzong is really dedicated to the Ming Dynasty, and Liu Hongxun is somewhat loyal, none of the others have Be careful?
And Liu Hongxun inevitably has his own thoughts.

This is not surprising, after all, the Master said: self-cultivation, family harmony, governance of the country, and peace of the world.

Among them, self-cultivation and family harmony are still before governing the country and the world. Everyone must first consider themselves and their families.

As for whether the Master’s words are understood in this way, anyway, the Master is dead, and the Confucian classics have long since lost their original meaning after being compiled and annotated in successive dynasties. How should everyone understand it?

In fact, it is not surprising that individuals have their own little thoughts. The problem is that neither Qian Qianyi, the chief assistant, nor Sun Chengzong, the nominal second assistant, has the ability to coordinate the cabinet and the six ministries. This is the crux of the problem.

And such a cabinet, natural people have their own ambitions, and each is wonderful.

The cabinet was in chaos, and so was the court of the Chongzhen Dynasty. There were many factions fighting each other and attacking each other. Everyone had no idea how to govern Ming Dynasty well. They only had how to attack the enemy, develop their own factions, and how to occupy more How can I be greedy for more money, and how can I get more land in my hometown?
The hall is full of vermilion and purple expensive, full of flies and dogs.

Wen Tiren's idea to Chongzhen even made these pious people in the court find an opportunity.

It was as if a group of flies had discovered a crack in the egg. Maybe this crack was intentionally left by Wen Tiren, but who cares? The interests come first, so everyone naturally wants to grab the meat!

Soon, in a certain county in Zhili, a county magistrate of Ming Dynasty, a dignified county parent official, took the lead in shamelessness.

He hired the people in the county to repair the mansion of the government office, and the people provided their own food, but in the end the county government would give money to the people.

The common people thought that they would be able to drop one or two silver coins in the end, even if there was a hand fee in the county government, and it lost a few percent, it would be enough for the whole family to live for a few days.

But the people prepared their own food and worked diligently for the county lord, and the county lord handed out precious banknotes!
Who doesn't know that Daming's precious banknotes are waste paper now!
However, the county lord only distributed treasure banknotes to the people, and he distributed them to the people according to the price comparison between treasure banknotes and gold and silver during the Tianqi Dynasty. The people got only one treasure banknote, and they couldn't even buy one or two meters!

But the county lord also spoke righteously, saying that this is the court's legal system, and the rules of the yamen are like this. It is the emperor who requires the people in the world to use precious banknotes, and only precious banknotes can be used for transactions.

As for why gold and silver are required for taxation, that is another matter for the court.

My Ming Dynasty has its own national conditions here, and the untouchables just pay taxes honestly!

And after the magistrate of a county was so shameless, the landlords and gentry in the county also learned their skills. One by one, they took money like waste paper to forcibly buy the fields of the people's homes, and used a pile of waste paper to give the fields of the people's homes to them. It was merged, and the people naturally didn't want their fields to be seized just like that. They wanted to resist and sue the officials, but found that the county magistrate and the gentry were in the same group.

Even if he wants to go out of the county to sue the government, but now that the old system has been restored in Daming, how can there be room for the existence of Dabao?
The people are complaining that every day should not be done, and that the land is not working. The landlords and gentry with the county magistrate as their backer force the people to sell their land. Anyway, the New Deal does not exist anymore. No private sale of land is allowed, and any government grants to the people It is a thing of the past that people are not allowed to buy and sell by force.

When the land in a county was forcibly bought by landlords and gentry with a pile of discarded banknotes, turning almost all the people in the county into tenants, the county magistrate's family also had several more acres of land.

Faced with the filial piety of the landlords and gentry, the magistrate of the county was very happy. The days of the Chongzhen Dynasty were better than those of the Tianqi Dynasty. Today's county magistrate only has the prestige of Bailihou.

And people like this county magistrate are not rare in today's Daming!
After the imperial edict drafted by Wen Tiren was approved by Chongzhen, people with a heart discovered this loophole. The imperial court stipulated that the treasure banknotes should be used as the transaction currency, and then forcibly linked the value of the treasure banknotes to the time of the Tianqi dynasty, and then forced the people to use the treasure banknotes for transactions, and then abolished them. Doesn’t all the laws to protect the people force the gentry, officials and nobles to seize the people’s fields and buy the shops and properties of merchants?

As a result, these honorable officials who held a large amount of gold, silver and precious banknotes began to perform their merits. They used the imperial court's will to force a large number of people to sell their livelihoods to them as tenants. They don't need to pay gold, silver and food, they only need some treasures.

And those who are stubborn and unwilling to sell, that’s good, the imperial court’s taxes expressly require the use of gold and silver, since you are willing to farm, then give all the gold and silver that should be paid for all the fields in your village.

what?
No money?

If you don’t have money, sell your land, your body, your wife and daughter, your house, if it’s not enough, go to jail!

Under the operation of these corrupt officials, the entire Ming Dynasty has been mourning everywhere, and the people's families have been ruined one after another, suffering unspeakably.

And even if it is Zhili, the foot of the emperor, the land of the first good, there is still no difference.

What happened in Shandong, Henan, Huguang, Jiangsu and Zhejiang also happened in Zhili, and it was even more outrageous!

A lieutenant of the three battalions, the son of an earl, leads a battalion of soldiers. He doesn't care about the lives of the soldiers, food and drink, or the training of the soldiers. All the food and salaries were turned into precious banknotes and distributed by him.

As for the food given by the above, he naturally embezzled it.

Anyway, the imperial court didn't give these Qiu Ba any money, so if this is the case, so what if the food is swallowed by me?
After all, these Qiuba still have precious banknotes. The precious banknotes are the private transaction currency stipulated by the imperial court. If they have precious banknotes, can they buy food?

Under the operation of this honorable son, the elite soldiers of this battalion who originally fought against the Manchurian and Mongolian allied forces on the grassland and chased them to the north became his family's slaves. To resist, the military order is like a mountain, and the order of the superior in the army is absolute, not to mention that these are the three major battalions, not the new army, and it is not the Tianqi Dynasty, but the Chongzhen Dynasty.
With the title and status, the noble sons are naturally very rampant. A battalion of elites are called around by him, and they work hard all day long, but what they get in the end is a pile of waste paper. How does this convince the soldiers?
There were more and more grievances and dissatisfaction in the camp, but he did not restrain himself, but became more and more arrogant, and even directly ordered someone to tie up a few soldiers who expressed their dissatisfaction secretly, tied them to the pillars so that they could be beaten He was beaten to death.

Looking at the fearful and resentful eyes of the soldiers in the battalion, he became more and more proud: "You muddy legs, you are lucky to be able to enter the three battalions, and you dare to speak ill of the young master behind your back, you really want to die!"

"Today I also told you that muddy legs are muddy legs, don't even think about turning over. This world belongs to Daming, and it belongs to the emperor and us nobles, so what are you?"

"Do you really think that you can change it by working hard and killing people on the battlefield? If that's the case, then what are my grandparents and lords?"

"Being my master's slave is not burying you. On the contrary, this is a good job. I take care of food and drink, my master. It's much better than your life in the three camps."

This noble is not stupid, he also wants to turn the elite of the three major battalions into his family's private army. In fact, this is what most nobles are doing.

The 20 soldiers and horses of the three major battalions, since they were taken over by these nobles, these nobles have tried every means to change the ownership of these soldiers and horses, and want to carve up these elites to become their own help, but Emperor Chongzhen thought that these soldiers and horses were all It's his, so don't worry let the nobles operate it.

Nowadays, many soldiers and horses have become some honorable domestic slaves and private soldiers, and they can indeed live a life full of food and clothing. This kind of life makes other soldiers who were originally from the new army and are now in the Beijing camp feel sad. Mixed feelings.

When did the Beijing camp of the imperial court not have enough to eat and wear?

When we were still in the new army, everyone ate enough to eat three meals a day, had fish and meat every now and then, and had enough food and vegetables every day to ensure that everyone had the strength to train.

Moreover, the money is directly distributed to individuals, no one is greedy for money, and the weapons and equipment are the best. The soldiers of the new army were heroes at that time, and they were real men. Praise and cheers from the city.
Soldiers, heroes, and family members of the new army are all military families and enjoy benefits.

But now?

The former heroes, the warriors who protected the country, have become these honorable domestic slaves.

The soldiers were full of bitterness. I don’t know how many people regretted not going to Liaodong. Now the brothers in Liaodong are still living a good life, but they are still not as good as pigs and dogs.

However, the officers and men of the new army are also worthy of being the powerful weapon of the Tianqi Dynasty, and an elite army that has been victorious in all battles.

Even at this point, there are still many bloody soldiers who are unwilling to ruin themselves.

You Xungui forced the soldiers to repair houses for him as slaves, but the soldiers resolutely refused, and would rather violate this so-called military order than become slaves.

Some soldiers were forced to suppress the local people, because those people were unwilling to hand over the land they depended on for their livelihood, and they didn't want to be exchanged for all their belongings by those nobles with some waste paper money, but the soldiers also strongly refused .

And these soldiers who dared to resist were naturally treated specially by those nobles, with less and less food and more and more orders. At the same time, they tried every means to train these soldiers in an attempt to make them submit.

And these soldiers have family members, if you can't handle you, you can't handle your family?
Under such various vicious methods, many soldiers had no choice but to succumb to serving as cows and horses for those nobles, and the nobles were even more proud, thinking that the three major battalions were already under their control.

It was at this time that You Xungui died, at the hands of the resisting soldiers!

That was the son of a marquis, and his ancestors were also ruthless characters who made great military exploits in the Battle of Jingnan, and also played a role in the defense of the capital during the Jingtai period. It has been passed down to this day as a noble family.

Relying on his background, the son of the Marquis wantonly manipulated the soldiers of the Beijing camp, whipped and insulted them, and beat them up if something went wrong. Many people were beaten to death by him, but he was not only violent but also an insatiable master. Let him swallow all the food and pay, leaving only a little money that is not enough for the soldiers, forcing the soldiers to be his slaves and let him drive.

Some soldiers were beaten and even imprisoned by him if they were unwilling, and even forced to submit by their family members.

Finally, when the son of the marquis forced the soldiers of the Beijing camp to build him a mansion, and finally took out some precious money to send these tired and hungry soldiers like dogs, someone finally couldn't help but make a move.

In the end, the son of the marquis died at the hands of those soldiers who were driven by him like pigs and dogs. He died without a whole body!
As soon as this incident happened, Zhili was shocked!
