Daming Zhu Di: Father, why aren't you dead? !

Chapter 168 The anxious Lao Zhu!Civil and military division! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
Longqing Zhu Zaixuan had just finished speaking.

All the emperors and princes frowned.

In fact, what Zhu Zaijing said makes sense to a certain extent, especially during the periods when the Japanese country was in war, such as the Warring States Period on the Japanese island.

Since the people who have been fighting on the island for a long time are men, although most of the time the wars break out at the village level, the fights between these Japanese slaves are still fierce enough. Sometimes they are so fierce that half of the village will be killed at one time. They are all widowed.

Over time, the ratio of men to women on Japanese islands naturally became unbalanced, and there must be more Japanese women than Japanese men.

"I think so."

"Select the most beautiful among the Japanese women and fill them into the Jiaofang Division."

"The remaining ones can follow the example of the Grand Ancestor who set up Qinhuai Sixteenth Floor in the past, and open restaurants in thirteen provinces across the country in the name of the imperial court. This will definitely bring a very generous income to the imperial court."

Paying money to farm has always been a hugely profitable business.

After finishing speaking, Zhu Zaijing held his breath and waited slightly uneasily for the scrutiny from his ancestors.

"Well, this method is not impossible."

Lao Zhu was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.

The reason why he established the Qinhuai Sixteenth Floor in the first place was essentially to increase the court's income.

And the [-]th floor of Qinhuai is, to put it bluntly, the official hook.

Old Zhu Di and other emperors all frowned slightly, but they did not express any different opinions.

After all, in this era, women are actually goods to a certain extent and can be clearly priced, not to mention foreign women like Japanese women. These Japanese women are defined as trophies in terms of equivalents.

Every time the Ming Dynasty sent troops to conquer or counter-rebellion, there was an unwritten practice. When the commander-in-chief of the counter-rebellion returned to the court, he would take away some local specialties, some of which were presented to the court, and some of which were kept for him to give as gifts to maintain relations.

This local specialty includes some boys and girls who were suppressed in the rebellion.

Needless to say, young men are all cut off with one knife, such as the Three Treasures Eunuch.

As for girls, those with outstanding looks will be presented to the palace.

Even this practice changed the historical trend of the Ming Dynasty.

For example, the Ji family, the biological mother of Emperor Hongzhi Zhu Youtang.

In the early years of Chenghua, the chieftains in Dateng Gorge rebelled. Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen sent troops to Guangxi to quell the rebellion with Han Yong as commander.

After Han Yong successfully put down the rebellion, before returning to his army, he selected some local specialties and sent them to the capital as usual. Among these local specialties was the Ji family, the biological mother of Emperor Hongzhi.

So, if you look at the problem from this perspective.

Zhu Zaijing's proposal to eliminate all Japanese women as prostitutes and use them to generate revenue for the Ming Dynasty's finances is actually not a strange thing, and it is even beneficial to the country.

Ji Boying glanced at Zhu Zaijing and didn't say anything more on this matter. He just gave him a look that looked like he was sitting down.

If we look at this from the perspective of future generations, this will definitely not work.

After all, this farming transaction is illegal, and Marx fundamentally did not allow this thing to exist.

But this is the Ming Dynasty, now is the era of autocratic monarchy, and the situation is completely different.

And in fact, in the Japanese country at this time, there were not many high-quality women who could be selected. Generally speaking, buck teeth and bow legs should be the mainstream appearance.

"As for the Japanese girls on the Japanese island, you should make arrangements based on your own circumstances."

"One thing to remind you here is that the future development of the handicraft industry in the Ming Dynasty will also require a large part of the labor force. In the process of semi-industrialization, women can take over any insufficient production capacity."

After Ji Boying said this, he ended the topic.

Then he thought of something again and glanced at the group of emperors and princes present.

"Which of you still has questions to ask? Ask them all at once now."

Although students are allowed to ask questions in class, they cannot interrupt at every turn. Frequent interruptions of one by one and one by one of others really affect the rhythm of the class.

Everyone here shook their heads slightly when they heard this.

"Ah."

"Next, this lesson will continue to return to the topic we just talked about."

"How to fundamentally improve the status of military commanders"

"I'll give you a cup of tea to discuss the summary."

"After a cup of tea, each group will send a representative to come out and talk about the measures you have taken in your respective time and space, and how to improve the status of soldiers and generals."

Say it.

Ji Boying sat back on the grand master's chair in the center of the podium, leaned back on the chair, and closed his eyes slightly to rest.

I couldn't sleep last night, and I was really tired.

After the theoretical class ended, he would take Lao Zhu to take a look at the later generations of Hongwu during the break.

Then, he will take these great emperors and princes to the Spanish Empire in many eras, and analyze the gains and losses from different latitudes from the perspective of the rise and decline of the first generation.

Then, we have to go to Xuande Time and Space to fill cups and solve the problem of the Xuande Dynasty's lack of implementation of the New Deal. Finally, we have to take Wanli Zhu Changluo to win over Li Dan, the shipping king of Wanli Time and Space, to open up the official maritime trade market of Wanli Time and Space.

After all this is over, we will move the timeline of Wanli time and space and prepare for "The Heroes Airborne to Saarhu".

Ji Boying couldn't help but feel his head hurt when he thought about the series of busy things that followed.

Sleeping too little is really a kind of torture, which makes people feel irritable.

As the Immortal Master spoke out, each group in each court began to discuss in low voices.

In such a noisy environment, Ji Boying suddenly discovered that he could fall asleep, or in other words, enter a short and deep sleep.

Even a short three minutes of deep sleep can be a salvation for a person suffering from insomnia.

After a cup of tea.

Under the active discipline of Zhu Jianshen, the leader of the first class and Zhu Jianshen, the second class leader, the main hall gradually became quiet.

And Ji Boying also opened his eyes at this moment.

The whole person's energy and energy obviously looked much better.

The first thing he looked at was Lao Zhu.

"Hong Wu."

Two words are exported.

If there was no accident, there must be no accident. A Biao stood up.

"We have strictly followed the military reform mentioned by Master Immortal in class before and have made the following points."

"First point, after our government received the first batch of silver from Japan, we immediately abolished the military household system and implemented a recruitment system, and gradually began to improve the treatment of soldiers and enhance their status among the people."

"The second point is to establish five major military regions in the thirteen provinces of the country. Except for the capital and border defense troops, all the military regions will be assigned to the five major military regions. According to the words of the immortal master, the military command power of the military regions will be separated from the right to recommend promotions."

"The third point,......"

Abiao talked bit by bit, speaking very logically.

However, Ji Boying frowned slightly after listening to A Biao's words.

He couldn't help but recall the paragraph where he talked about the military system.

indeed.

From this perspective, Hongwu's restructuring did not do anything wrong. To a certain extent, it greatly improved the status of soldiers.

"Master Immortal, the student is finished."

Abiao saluted respectfully.

"Ah."

He nodded slightly and motioned for Abiao to sit down.

Then he glanced at the other people, and it was obvious that these people's faces were rather embarrassed. It was most likely that Abiao had told them everything they knew and didn't know.

There is nothing more to say.

And from the perspective of the system setting of the military system, the military reform of the Hongwu Dynasty was obviously the most complete.

After all, Hongwu was the beginning of a dynasty. With Lao Zhu, the founding emperor, there was basically no resistance. As long as Lao Zhu issued an order, many systems could be subversively changed from scratch.

Even Jianwen and Yongle in the future, and even Emperor Yongle at the height of his prestige, could not do this.

But judging from Ji Boying's sleepless days and staying up late to analyze Guo Zuo in various time and space.The improvement of military status is obviously not enough.

In other words, there are serious drawbacks.

Even in Hongwu time and space, after more than a hundred years have passed, especially after a relatively long period of peace.

As the civil service group grows, the status of military personnel will still be unstoppably suppressed.

The decline in the status of military personnel means the weakening of national defense capabilities and the decline in military combat effectiveness.

"What do you think of the other groups?"

Glancing at the other emperors and princes, Ji Boying asked symbolically.

"My military reform in this dynasty is not much different from that of my elder brother."

Zhu Laosi spoke repeatedly, and Lao Zhu Di nodded.

Emperor Hongxi and Emperor Xuande both followed suit.

As for the second group of Emperor students, except for the Jiajing time and space, which has changed the timeline for several years.

The reform of the military system in other dynasties has not yet been fully implemented. After all, their time is limited, and the reform needs to be carried out step by step. In particular, the change of the military system is not a simple matter overnight.

To find a suitable opportunity, we must also make a unified and certain timeline for each time and space in the second period.

After all, Ji Boying couldn't just wait for the slow flow of time in various time and space. He had to fast forward when it was time to fast forward.

"Brother, is there any problem with this?"

Lao Zhu frowned slightly and blurted out subconsciously. He had actually felt the effect and felt it was very good.

"Ah."

Ji Boying took a deep breath and then stood up.

"The points A Biao just mentioned are not problematic in terms of the restructuring itself."

"It's just that this change in the military system is actually a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution, even if it is the establishment of military regions in thirteen provinces across the country."

'Treating the symptoms but not the root cause? '

Hearing this, the expressions of all the emperors and princes condensed slightly, and they all listened attentively.

Especially the emperor and the prince in the first period, they all took the class on the military system. Following A Biao's narration just now, they somewhat recalled the content of the class at that time.

'Master Xian indeed mentioned emphatically in the previous class that the specific military reform of each dynasty needs to be formulated based on the actual conditions of different time and space. '

'No matter how it is changed, the core purpose is to improve the status of soldiers and generals in the system. '

Abiao's heart tightened in his seat.

He suddenly realized a very serious problem, and he also committed it.

And maybe this problem is not just his fault, but others too.

That is, rigid.

'We just followed the points mentioned by the immortal master in the previous class and changed it. On the contrary, we did not remember the last and most important sentence and did not think about it ourselves. '

'The immortal teacher's teachings have always been based on the purpose of teaching people how to fish rather than teaching people how to fish. '

'My answer just now must have disappointed the immortal master. '

Taking a deep breath, Abiao looked at the Immortal Master on the podium with deep guilt in his eyes, as if he felt that as a top student, he had failed to live up to the Immortal Master's high expectations.

"Listen up."

Ji Boying clasped his hands behind his waist, stood in the center of the podium, and swept past the group of emperors and princes.

The voice fell.

All the emperors and princes sitting on their seats straightened their backs instantly.

"How to fundamentally solve the status of generals."

Ji Boying turned slightly and picked up the pen dipped in ink from the stand. The pen passed by quickly and on the rice paper, he wrote four words: separation of military and political affairs.

"First, establish a military pavilion corresponding to the cabinet. The empire's response to troops and garrison expeditions are all handled by the military pavilion. The cabinet only has the right to consult and be informed."

"Second, he holds the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, concurrently serving as a minister of the cabinet and a minister of the Wuge, serving as a bridge between the two cabinets."

This setting is very similar to the Minister of Defense in later generations, who was both a State Councilor and a Military Commissioner.

"Third, don't forget this. The power of military command, the power of promoting and dispatching soldiers, and the power of allocating military supplies and supplies all belong to the emperor. What the Wuge has is the power of daily training of the world's troops and horses, and other processes. Just like the cabinet, it only has the power to draw up votes on major military affairs, and the emperor’s approval and seal are required for final effect.”

"Fourth, it is established that the ancestral iron system separates civil and military affairs. Civilians govern civil affairs and military men govern military affairs. The ministers of the military cabinet cannot be appointed by civil servants. Similarly, the ministers of the cabinet cannot be served by military generals. The functions of the cabinet and the military cabinet cannot be replaced alternately. .”

Although the ancestral system cannot ensure implementation, to a certain extent, it can act as a constraint for those who break the system and can have a certain effect.

As I have said before, there is no perfect system in the world, nor is there an eternal system, only a relatively longer-lasting system.

The voice fell.

Anyone sitting here who has read the history of the Song Dynasty has two words in their mind.

'Under Zhongshu's door. '

'Privy Council. '

After listening to this, Abiao frowned.

'No, what the immortal said, combined with the situation of our Ming Dynasty, is much more perfect than the two-province system of the Song Dynasty. '

Ji Boying glanced at the group of emperors and princes who were thinking, and he probably guessed what they were thinking.

The two-government system in the Song Dynasty essentially separated military and political affairs.

It's just that Lao Zhao's idea of ​​doing this was not to protect the status of generals, but to reduce the power of the prime minister and use the military power divided by the Privy Council.

Therefore, a problem will occur.

Because the monarch's power was relatively uncentralized, the power of the prime minister was not completely reduced.

As mentioned before, the so-called prime minister's power means having arbitrary power to a certain extent.

So when the throne was passed to Song Zhenzong, the third emperor of the Song Dynasty, the Privy Council had already been eroded by the power of the prime minister.

First, there was the power of military supplies, then the power of appointing and removing generals, then the power of national defense and military affairs. Finally, it completely evolved into the central prime minister actually controlling the military power. The Privy Council became a complete empty show, and the Privy Councilor and Privy Deputy Councilor became honorary titles. .

In the future, Ping Zhangshi (prime minister) under Tong Zhongshu's family often served as the Privy Council envoy.

For example, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others were awarded the official position of deputy envoy to the Privy Council after their military power was taken away. In fact, they were promoted openly and secretly.

There are three reasons that lead to this situation.

First, the independence of the Prime Minister, so that the Prime Minister's pursuit of progress and expansion will naturally erode the power of the Privy Council to control the army.

Second, the Song Dynasty’s basic national policy of advocating civility and suppressing military power. After the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, they were extremely uneasy about military personnel and worried that the military power of the Privy Council would be too much. Even though the Privy Council was established, civil servants were still in charge of the Privy Council, and military generals had no decision-making power at all. In essence, it is a continuous suppression of military generals from the national level. The battle between the two governments is, in the final analysis, a battle between civil servants.

Third, the imperial power was not centralized enough, so that even if future kings wanted to check and balance, they would not be able to recreate the balance.

However, these problems did not exist in Ming Dynasty.

First of all, in the Ming Dynasty, there was no such thing as prime ministerial power at all, and the cabinet did not have the conditions to corrode the military pavilion.

Whether it is the cabinet or the military cabinet, after its establishment, its essential functions are only the political secretary and military secretary of the emperor. All decision-making power and final interpretation power are in the hands of the emperor.

Secondly, it establishes the ancestral iron law that civilized people govern civilized affairs and military men govern military affairs. The original intention of establishing the Civil and Military Pavilion is mainly to improve the status of soldiers and generals and ensure the co-governance and balance of civil and military affairs in temples. This starting point is consistent with that of Lao Zhao of the Song Dynasty. The suppression of warriors is also completely different.

Third, the fundamental nature of the Wuge and the Privy Council is different. The establishment of the Wuge actually means that the emperor personally controls the military. On the contrary, it will strengthen the emperor's control over the imperial army, and there is no need to worry about the excessive military power of the military.

"Rest for a quarter of an hour, and we will continue with the rest of the practical observation class."

Say it.

Ji Boying didn't care whether these people had figured out the problem or not, and gave Lao Zhu a look that suggested he come to my room.

Then he turned around and got off the podium, walking along the mahogany stairs to the private room on the top of the pavilion.

Lao Zhu was overjoyed: Now we can see nuclear bombs!

With an anxious look on his face, he hurriedly followed Ji Boying upstairs with A Biao in tow.

The last time Lao Zhu was so anxious was during the wedding night with his sister.

Old Zhu Di, Zhu Laosi, Xiao Zhusi, old, middle and young Zhu Di looked at each other and got up and followed behind.
