Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 83 Literature and Martial Arts (2)

Systematic adjustment and reform is an important political idea that Zhu Youxiao Yuji has clarified since he ascended the throne, after reviewing a large number of memorials and documents and personally experiencing various events.

The existing main framework of the Ming Dynasty still meets the needs of governing the world. Of course, it involves adjustments in various fields, which is an unavoidable fact. If it cannot keep pace with the times, it will eventually be abandoned by the times.

Specific to a certain field, such as the development and production of firearms and artillery, Zhu Youxiao does not think that the Ming Dynasty's firearms and artillery, nor the talents proficient in this field, or the craftsmen engaged in this field, are really inferior to other countries. , Da Ming has various problems, but this does not mean that Da Ming is really weak!
Of course, from a practical point of view, it is also an indisputable fact that it is impossible to form a firepower advantage on the battlefield, and the soldiers at the bottom are afraid or worried about using firearms and artillery. So where is the link?
You must know how to go back to the source and find the source of the problem, otherwise, no matter how much time and energy you invest, no matter how much money you invest in, it will be nothing in the end.

Systematic adjustment and reform in the field of military industry requires trusting and reusing a group of professionals, allowing professionals to do professional things instead of letting laymen lead experts. The crux of the problems.

Wang Zheng rushed to the capital from Shaanxi, enabling the relocation and rectification of the military bureau under the jurisdiction of the inner court to move towards the actual advancement stage, which undoubtedly relieved the pressure on Zhu Youxiao.

Clean up the door.

"Old Liu Ge, what should we do?" Han Yu looked complicated, looking towards the direction of Qianqing Palace through the direct guards on duty in front of him, and said in a heavy tone: "Your Majesty will not summon us, there are many things in the court. It needs to be solved, but His Majesty is living in the Qianqing Palace, is it going to be like this from now on?"

"I'm afraid it's probably going to be like this."

Liu Yixiu turned around, looked at the backs of Fang Congzhe and Sun Ruyou who had left, frowned and said: "Many memorials from the court were sent to the cabinet by His Majesty, and the cabinet was asked to make a decision, but it is more difficult to approve red than before. If there are too many, the cabinet will be dismissed at every turn, and the six departments will submit many remonstrances, most of which will be retained..."

After speaking, Liu Yixiu didn't continue talking.

It seems that since King Fu entered Beijing, the temple has formed the current delicate state, perhaps a lot slower in efficiency, but the previous chaotic and noisy state seemed to have been poured with cold water, which cooled many people's impetuous hearts. This was something no one expected.

The emperor did not go to the early court, and held the imperial court meeting as he wished. Although this situation was opposed and advised by many censors, the emperor still went his own way.

This state of affairs caught many people off guard. There was no point where they could exert their strength. Some people were so anxious that they circled around in private, but there was nothing they could do.

So uncomfortable!

Zhu Youxiao knew this very well, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. From the time Wang Zheng arrived in Beijing, the following period was like a stab in the civil and military nest, with batches of specially summoned talents coming one after another. This also made Zhu Youxiao summoned them in batches. Instead of wasting time with the various parties and factions in the outer court, it was better to leave them aside for the time being and do everything that should be done first.

Qianqing Palace.

Dongnuan Pavilion.

"Yang Qing, the current court situation is uncertain, and the Liao affairs are in crisis."

Zhu Youxiao sat on the throne, looked at Yang Sichang in front of him, and said with a serious expression: "I am very worried about Liao affairs. Since Yang Qing has been ordered to go to Beijing and has an important errand, I hope Yang Qing can assist me to share my worries."

"The minister is willing to share the worries for His Majesty."

Yang Sichang hurriedly stood up from the brocade stool and bowed to the emperor.

"well."

Zhu Youxiao showed a satisfied smile, "In that case, then Yang Qing will go to the Hall of Wuying to be on duty, and together with Liang Tingdong, Shi Yongan, and Wu Aheng, they will sort out the many memorials and documents related to Liao affairs. The palace convened an imperial court meeting to discuss Liao affairs with the ministers."

"The minister obeys the order."

Yang Sichang said yes, but he was secretly suspicious in his heart. The emperor summoned him to the capital with a decree. It seemed that this was not an exception. There seemed to be a group of people just like him.

What Yang Sichang didn't know was that in the past few days, Zhu Youxiao had summoned many civil and military officials. These people all came to the palace to see the emperor, and they all arranged specific matters.

Perhaps many officials have not yet determined their positions, but so what?
The personnel power of the Ministry of Officials is controlled, and the process of going outside the court is not feasible. The current delicate court situation is exactly what Zhu Youxiao wants to see. A bunch of matters that have been clarified before need to be done in a solid manner. Continuing to fight from time to time will inevitably lead to a strong counterattack, so Zhu Youxiao dealt with it coldly.

"My lord, Sun Zushou, You Shiwei, You Shilu, He Renlong and other generals have all joined the Xishan and Fengtai camps."

Not long after Yang Sichang left, Wang Tiqian hurried over and reported the situation to Zhu Youxiao, "In addition, the first batch of new soldiers recruited by the Royal Guards Governor's Office in Henan and Shandong have been stationed in Xishan Camp, and detailed registration and registration and other matters have been carried out. , all are held responsible by the former Imperial College Supervisor who was arrested previously.”

"understood."

The corner of Zhu Youxiao's lips curled up slightly and he said: "Everything involving Xishan and Fengtai Camp must be reported to me every day. The money, food and other materials needed must be ensured."

"The slaves obey the order."

Wang Ti hurriedly bowed his head in response.

Professional matters should be left to professional people. On the mainstream development trend of the army, perhaps no one knows better than Zhu Youxiao. Of the generals gathered in the Fengtai camp, any one picked out at random is better than Zhu Youxiao.

What Zhu Youxiao, the Ming emperor, needs to do is to communicate his specific ideas with these generals, so that they can combine reality, implement improvements, and do a good job in the role of great steward. When you see the real chapter, you have to be able to withstand it.

"The British Duke and Sun Qing are dismantling and reorganizing the army in the capital camp. How do the nobles and civil servants react?" Zhu Youxiao picked up the tea cup at his hand, took a sip, and looked at Wang Tiqian and asked.

"Your Excellency didn't say anything. He seemed to have a sore leg and was caught by the British Duke."

Wang Tiqian thought for a while, bowed his head and said: "It's those civil servants who reacted greatly to this matter. The supervisor of ceremonies left a lot of impeachments and remonstrances. I am afraid that many people will impeach the British Prime Minister."

"it is as expected."

Zhu Youxiao put down the teacup with a smile, "Let's deal with this matter like this, send someone to give the British Duke some wine, and tell the British Duke that I am satisfied with what he did before, don't bother with other things, and do as you want That’s good, the admiral of the Jingying Rongzheng is not something anyone can do if he wants to.”

"The slaves obey the order."

Wang Tiqian paid homage again.

If you want to deal with some people, you have to let familiar people do it, give them support, and have the courage to take responsibility. This is the way to employ people. You must give hope but also give restraint. Now that the Beijing Camp's order is broken, Zhu Youxiao is reviewing Zhang Weixian , Sun Chengzong and others were very satisfied.
