The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty.
Chapter 52 Full-time Admiral!
Chapter 52 Full-time Admiral!
Sell the pot and train the iron army!
The little emperor nodded hard!
"Tang Hao, don't worry, I will definitely find a way..."
"Little emperor, I have to remind you, stop competing with the people for profit!"
Tang Hao once again interrupted the little emperor rudely.
"Competing with the people for profit will only make you live up to your will!"
"If you want to make money, there are many ways to do it. There is no need to exploit the poor people!"
Zhu Houzhao was stunned when he heard this and has not yet recovered.
Making money but not competing with the people for profit?
Then how can I make money and support you in training the Iron Army?
Seeing the confused look on his face, Tang Hao couldn't help but speak.
"Have you never thought about where all the money and food go?"
"The imperial treasury is empty and the soldiers and civilians in the world are poor. So where did all the money and food go?"
Yes, where did all the money and food go?
Zhu Houzhao thought along this line of thinking, and his face gradually became ugly.
I, the emperor, have no money, there is no money in the treasury, the court has no money, and the people are even more miserable. What about money and food?
Did Ming Dynasty have no money and food?
Are there so many fields in the world that don’t produce money or food?
"Little Emperor!"
"Remember one sentence!"
"The court is poor, the people are miserable, and the gentry is rich!"
"The imperial court cannot collect taxes, but the people have been paying a lot of taxes. Who do you think has this money and food?"
"Gentlemen!" Zhu Houzhao woke up from a dream and shouted coldly: "There are still these gentry!"
"That's right! They have money and food in their hands, and they are all extremely rich!"
Tang Hao laughed and said: "So you must change your thinking. Stop squeezing and enslaving the people like you did when you bought the imperial village before. There is no need."
"If you really want to make money, you will target these court ministers and local gentry. If you seize the opportunity, you should confiscate their homes and exterminate their families. The benefits will be more than if you buy an imperial estate, and the money will be more. Come on, do you understand?"
Having said this, Tang Hao himself felt that something was not right.
How does it sound like he wants to teach the little emperor a bad lesson, and he will confiscate his family and exterminate his clan at every turn!
But the little emperor was very excited, with a murderous look on his face.
"I understand."
"Don't worry, savage, I will do this from now on!"
You don't have to compete with the people to protect your reputation, and you can make money at the same time. It's the best of both worlds.
Just kidding, Zhu Houzhao was the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so he was quite concerned about his reputation. He couldn't live in infamy for thousands of years, otherwise he would not be able to face his ancestors when he went down.
Here, Tang Hao had just completed the ideological transformation of the little emperor, and Chen Kuan, the eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, came over in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, the British Duke and the Chief Sima have drawn up a charter. Please take a look at it."
Hearing this, the little emperor suddenly became interested, but when he took the memorial and read it, he immediately became furious.
In fact, there is no need for any regulations to select elites to establish another camp. After all, this is how the Beijing camp was transformed into a regiment camp in the past. Just copy this model.
The real struggle between Zhang Mao and Liu Daxia lies in the battle for the command of the new camp.
If one party bites him to death, he must let Admiral Tang Hao go, but the other party refuses to die.
After a quarrel and scolding, the two finally made compromises and concessions.
So what the little emperor got at this moment was that three generals were in charge of the new camp, and Tang Hao was just one of them.
In addition, there must be no shortage of eunuchs and assistant civil servants, especially assistant civil servants. Liu Daxia directly proposed Xu Jin, the Minister of War!
This result was not what the little emperor wanted, nor was it what Tang Hao wanted.
The purpose of selecting elites to set up another battalion was to rectify military affairs and restore the combat effectiveness of the Beijing army.
As a result, you still created such forces from all sides pouring into it to check and balance each other. Then how can Tang Hao train his troops? Then what is the meaning of the existence of this new battalion?
It's better not to re-elect a forward, and the Beijing army will be completely ruined!
Zhu Houzhao was indeed very angry and threw the memorial to the ground.
"What is the old man doing?"
"Since he wants to pave the way for you, why would he agree to this model?"
Tang Hao sighed, leaned down and picked up the memorial.
"As I said just now, this matter is not that easy."
"The civil servants and gentry will not just watch me take charge of the army alone. They will definitely find ways to restrain me!"
"Your Majesty, don't be angry yet. Call them two over to ask clearly and see if there is any room for change."
The little emperor nodded gloomily, and Chen Kuan went forward to pass the message.
A moment later, Zhang Mao and Liu Daxia came hand in hand, both looking calm and showing no sign of anger.
The little emperor looked at the two of them with suspicion, and then looked at Tang Hao.
Tang Hao nodded without leaving any trace, indicating to the little emperor to ask clearly first.
"You guys discussed it for a long time and just came up with this charter?"
"You still supervise the gun eunuchs and assist the civil servants. Just tell me, don't bother, don't choose the front again, just let the Beijing army die like this, and wait for the Ming Dynasty to be kicked out by the Beibei. Wouldn't that be more serious? Easier?"
Zhu Houzhao and Tang Hao learned the skill of venomous tongues, and they started to talk directly.
When Zhang Mao and Liu Daxia heard these heart-wrenching words, they both looked sad and fell to their knees silently. "Your Majesty has clearly learned that the three generals will supervise the camp affairs. This is the rule set by His Majesty Daizong."
Liu Daxia tried to argue with reason and said in a deep voice: "It is not that the imperial court has never tried to use a general to supervise the regiment camp, but the various forces and interests in the camp are intricately intertwined, and the commander-in-chief cannot be qualified only with military talents."
"That's why the imperial court selects two or three generals from the three battalions and six generals to serve as admirals. This is also to prevent one general and the admiral from abusing his power!"
I have to admit that Liu Daxia is still very politically minded.
First, he brought out the ancestral law that the three generals jointly supervise the camp affairs, and then reminded the little emperor, how can you rest assured that you let Tang Hao be in charge of the new camp alone?
Military power has been very sensitive since ancient times, especially for emperors.
There are more than 25,000 people, which is the last combat strength of the Beijing army. If you leave it to Tang Hao alone, what if Tang Hao has some different intentions?
Therefore, the three generals, the eunuchs who supervise the guns, and the assistant civil servants are all indispensable.
This is for the inheritance of our ancestors and the plan for the country and the country!
However, Liu Daxia far underestimated the extent of the little emperor's favor towards Tang Hao.
"Oh, will a general and admiral abuse his power?"
"What Da Sima said is really interesting. When the third general became the admiral, did he stop abusing his power?"
"Coupled with the eunuchs who supervise the guns, and the assistant ministers, these twelve regiments and battalions in the past were all conducted according to the ancestral laws you said, but what was the result?"
"Do you want me to remind you again, what is the 12th Regiment Battalion like now? Why do you have the shame to say things that are arbitrary and abuse of power?"
The little emperor's sharp tongue is getting better and better. If you dare to speak, I will scold you. Anyway, you don't dare to scold me!
Liu Daxia really didn't dare to confront the emperor, so he simply bowed his head and apologized after being scolded again.
After seeing this, Tang Hao thought for a moment and finally spoke.
"Da Sima, this is not the only law established by our ancestors."
"In the third year of Chenghua, His Majesty Xianzong ordered that twelve battalions should still be divided for training. The Ministry of War would appoint battalion officials to lead them. It would still recommend one minister of civil and military affairs to oversee the affairs. The main task was to recruit people. It was clearly required that only one general should be required. .”
"Soon, the former chief military officer of Shenji Battalion Ding Xiangbo Guo Deng was appointed as the only general. He was ordered to train the regiment camp with Bai Gui, the Minister of War, and the 12th Battalion, the eunuch Admiral Pei Dang. Therefore, there was a chief general and full-time admiral in the regiment camp. situation, is this the ancestral law?"
Civil servants and gentry are always very interesting.
When they need it, they take out the old system from past precedents and shout about the laws established by their ancestors.
Anyway, as long as the things done by the Ming emperors in the past can become ancestral laws that are beneficial to them.
It happens that Tang Hao knows this trick, and he can also use this so-called ancestral method.
After hearing this, the little emperor immediately shouted: "Yes, since the regiment camp has an ancestral law of a general and full-time admiral, why can't it be used?"
Liu Daxia frowned when he heard this, and then said jokingly: "What? Does the Marquis of Zhongshan think that his military prowess and prestige can be compared with that of the Zhongwu Dingxiang Marquis?"
Throughout his life, Guo Deng followed Wang Ji, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Mu Bin, Duke of Guizhou, to conquer Luchuan, Tengchong and other places. After the Civil War Incident, Grand Master Wala also took Yingzong hostage to the edge of Datong City in an attempt to fraudulently open the city gate. Guo Deng designed to lure him. The enemy forced him to retreat first. The next year, he defeated the Ola army in Shawo and Kaoluoshan, and made Xiangbo a famous general in the Zhengtong Dynasty.
In the eighth year of Chenghua, Guo Deng passed away and was given the title of Marquis Dingxiang, with the posthumous title of "Zhongwu".
In terms of merit, qualifications, and prestige, the current Tang Hao cannot be compared with Zhongwu Dingxianghou.
However, it does not mean that it will be impossible for him in the future!
Tang Hao looked at Liu Daxia, chuckled and spoke.
"What Da Sima said is that when we talk about the ancestral law, we talk about the ancestral law. Why bother saying these useless words?"
"Whether I am qualified to be compared with the Marquis Zhongwu Dingxiang, won't you know if you give it a try?"
If you want to talk about rules, then talk about them properly and don’t use personal attacks here!
Liu Daxia was ready to speak, but the little emperor did not give him this chance.
"Since it is a law established by our ancestors, let's let it be settled like this!"
"How about selecting a new front from the 12th regiment camp, setting up a new camp, and asking the Marquis of Zhongshan to serve as a camp officer to lead it. The Minister of War, Xu Jin, will be the admiral. How about it?"
In fact, the little emperor also understood that General Tang Hao was a full-time admiral, which was the bottom line for civil servants and gentry.
If an associate civil servant is not appointed, Liu Daxia will never agree!
Rather than continue wrangling, it is better to settle the matter first. As for Xu Jin, there are many ways to deal with him in the future!
British Duke Zhang Mao was the first to express his position, shouting "Your Majesty is wise!"
Zhongshan Hou Tang Hao also knelt on the ground and followed the output.
For a moment, Liu Daxia felt a little confused.
He, the Minister of War, is now in a dilemma.
If you really agree to this, I'm afraid the cabinet will have trouble!
By the way, the cabinet!
Liu Daxia's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately spoke.
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Zhu Houzhao was very happy to see this, and immediately asked Zhang Yong to go to the cabinet, and ordered the cabinet to draft an edict and then announce it to the world.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Zhang Mao saluted Liu Daxia and left.
Tang Hao was also about to leave, but was held back by the little emperor.
"No hurries?"
"It's hard to get into the palace. Please chat with me for a while!"
Liu Daxia took a deep look at Tang Hao, then stood up and left, heading straight to the cabinet.
Yes, His Majesty the Emperor has issued an order.
But whether this decree can be carried out depends on the consent of the three cabinet ministers!
You, Tang Hao, still want to be in charge of the new army, so go ahead and dream of your spring and autumn dream!
The three cabinet ministers have stripped this layer of skin off your body!
Today's second update, Tang Hao is about to take charge of the new army and embark on the main path of enriching the country and strengthening the army. It is not easy for a newcomer to write a book. I hope readers and friends will vote for it. Thank you very much!
