Baidu otaku as Chongzhen

Chapter 138
Yang Reform readily gave Erxizi and Xiaoshunzi the credit for the abolition of castration and uterine punishment.

Er Xizi, Xiao Shunzi was so moved after hearing the emperor's words, that such a great merit and contribution came to him like this?This is going to be recorded in history!Sobbing and thanking him, he said: "I am grateful for your majesty's gift, this servant is so valued by the emperor, I am willing to die."

Yang Reform smiled, what he wanted was this effect, how could he win people over without any tricks?These two little eunuchs are his signature!The signboard must be done well, and it must not be smashed.Burying the industry of eunuchs here will inevitably make a mark in history in the future, so why stop using eunuchs?What about the suspension of the palace sentence?The reason is that one day, the emperor summoned two young eunuchs. These two eunuchs were rewarded by the emperor because of their effective work. The imperial decree to abolish castration is issued, and the credit can indeed be credited to the two young eunuchs. In the future history books, there will definitely be a fortune from them. This is nothing compared to rewarding some silver and promoting officials Much stronger. [Historically, Chongzhen did ban castration in this year, but he still couldn't help the huge team of eunuchs. Compared with more and more bankrupts and hungry people, this castration can still be endured.Is this castration a good way to save people?Or a poison that destroys people? 】

The two little eunuchs kowtowed to the emperor half in tears and half in laughter. They were really moved by the emperor. They were able to become the cause of the abolition of imperial punishments in the world. What a great honor, what a high honor, we have to let others know about it, why don't they envy you to death?Leave a name in history!Immediately, he hit the ground with his head, kowtowed and whimpered non-stop.

"Hehe, well, there's no need to hit the ground again. If you hit it again, my Qing Palace will collapse."

The two young eunuchs wept happily, and then stopped kowtowing.

"You two, as long as you are serious about your errands, I will not treat you badly. I see that you are still young. How about this? After you finish the Wei case, go to Zhang De'an's inner school to study for a while, and arrange me Learn all those courses. What I want is educated talents, not people who can come up by just flattering. As for what to arrange for you in the future, it depends on what you are proficient in. For now, I will give you a job in this inner court. I don’t feel wronged by a casual job... Companion, are there still people in the palace who are short of assistants?” Yang Reform arranged for two young eunuchs, and planned to make these two eunuchs his own banner. Follow the emperor's promising banner, as long as this banner does not fall, there will be an endless stream of people from all over the world to join the emperor.

The purpose of entering the eunuch training class is very simple. In the future, all eunuchs who want to be promoted will have to go through the inner school again. Without the training in the inner school, no one will be promoted. This rule must be formed. Presumably, the learning atmosphere of the eunuchs in this inner study hall will be very strong. Maybe there will be scientists growing up from this place in the future.As for the deputy, that is to give a rank and salary, not to go to work to manage affairs, to go off-duty to study first, and then arrange things after he is successful in his studies in the future.

"Back to Your Majesty, is Your Majesty asking this young prisoner?" Wang Chengen asked.

"Well, what I'm asking is the deputy. Arrange a deputy position for them. They don't need to be on duty and concentrate on their studies. The main thing is to give them a salary. Well, it's a second job." Yang Reform doesn't quite understand what the eunuchs in the inner court are like. Graded, only said to be deputy.This post-secondary training, starting from these two people, will form a mechanism.

Wang Cheng'en thought for a moment before saying: "Return to Your Majesty, the eunuchs of the key supervisor and the Banking Bureau have all resigned due to the palm seal, and they are all replaced by their deputy. Therefore, a young supervisor can be arranged."

"Well, very good, let's arrange a deputy position for these two, and then go to second jobs to study hard in Zhang De'an's inner school. After graduating from the inner school, I will give you a job according to your grades. You assign errands." Yang Reform quickly arranged for the two people to go.

"My servant, thank you for your majesty's grace." The two young eunuchs were quite happy, and they went to study in the inner school. Doesn't this mean that in the future, they may enter the ceremonial supervisor?Thinking of this, the hearts of the two little eunuchs jumped up.However, it's a bit of a pity that there is no deacon's position as a young prisoner. This is not a real job, but a vain job.

"Friend, from now on, all internal officials who are promoted or transferred will need to go to the internal school for a period of time to study. Those who can graduate from the internal school can be promoted, and those who can't graduate will be replaced by others. Form a rule, understand ?"

"Your servant obeys." Wang Chengen agreed.

Yang Reform made the pre-promotion training and training a routine. This is very good for cultivating the loyalty of the eunuchs to the emperor. Some eunuchs who are out guarding the eunuchs are away all the year round, and their loyalty to the emperor is declining year by year. Throwing them in the inner study hall for a few years is also good, let them know that there is pressure from competition, corruption needs to be cautious, and work needs to be effective.It is also good for cultivating the abilities of the eunuchs, and can constantly recharge them.Once this plan is implemented, then this eunuch will form a wave of learning. If you want to climb up, you can't just rely on fear of flattery. If you don't graduate from the inner school, you still want to be promoted?There are no doors.

……

Yang Reform asked for a while about the money in the Wei case, and the two young eunuchs quickly answered that everything went well, and finally, the two young eunuchs went out beaming.

At night, I dreamed back to Baidu, preparing to recruit the world's elite to Beijing.You have to go to Baidu to see who were the best people in the late Ming Dynasty.

Early the next morning, Yang Reform got up, sat in front of the table in a daze, and wrote and drew from time to time.Many people's names are recorded on it.

Qin Liangyu.

Hong Chengchou.

Lu Xiangsheng.

Sun Chuanting.

Yang Sichang.

Zu Dashou.

Zu Dabi.

Zhao led the way.

Congratulations to Renlong.

……

A long list of names filled the entire table densely.These are all the results of Yang Reform Baidu's hard work overnight.

These are all military figures who I don't know, or are not very familiar with, or haven't come into contact with, in the late Ming Dynasty.

The first one was Qin Liangyu. Yang Reform went back and searched for Qin Liangyu's information, and found that this person should be this woman. She was such a mess that she commanded wars for more than 40 years, which was rare in the entire feudal history.Seriously lead troops to fight!Moreover, the record is much better than that of the male compatriots of the same period, and he was extremely loyal to Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, and he was more diligent than the king.This is the number one person who needs to be appeased!

Yang Reform stared at Qin Liangyu's name in a daze for half an hour.This female general should be over 50 years old now.Yang Reform calculated this age quickly.I am 54 years old this year... It seems that I am very old!This, how come the people I value are all very old?

Looking at Hong Chengchou and Lu Shengxiang, the record is not very impressive, losing to a woman.

This Hong Chengchou also surrendered.This one is even more weak!

The ones I am more familiar with are not listed here, such as Sun Chengzong, who is now training a new army for himself, such as Wu Sangui, who is still serving in his new army, and Man Gui, who is also a great man, and Yuan Chonghuan's death in history It has a lot to do with it, how could it be forgotten?

Writing and drawing, most of the morning.Yang Reform decided to recruit those people to Beijing.After thinking about it, I felt that we should follow Sun Chengzong's suggestion. This matter should not be discussed in the court, but should also be discussed in the staff department, so as to communicate with the courtiers.Otherwise, the ministers should make trouble again.Anyway, it is a foregone conclusion to recruit these people to Beijing.

"Big companion, immediately notify the staff to discuss matters in the Wenhua Hall." When you think about it, do it, and order Wang Chengen to notify the ministers to hold a meeting.

"As you order, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen went out.

Yang Reform cleaned up the table by himself. Even Wang Chengen didn't see what was on the table. Wang Chengen only saw the emperor getting up early in the morning and writing and drawing on the table, but he didn't know what the emperor was doing.

In the Wenhua Palace.

The ministers in twos and threes finally arrived.Many ministers left out of breath because they were in a hurry.Seeing that the emperor hadn't arrived, he felt relieved.

Yang Reform has been waiting for a long time in the warm pavilion, and this boss must be the last to appear.A lot of time wasted for no reason.Yang Reform only hated that the Ming Dynasty did not have telephones, otherwise, with a single phone call, the speed of these people coming would be more than doubled.

"We kowtow to His Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live." The staff members kowtowed together.

"Get up." Chongzhen Yang Reform said calmly.Come straight to the front of the big sand table.

"A few days ago, it was speculated that the Eastern Prisoner Jin detoured into the capital. Everyone must have known about it. According to Master Sun's speculation, the Eastern Prisoner Jin will enter the customs at the latest in autumn and winter next year. At that time, the defense of the capital will be a big problem. , I have already thought about it, and I am going to mobilize a group of elites to go to Beijing in advance to defend the capital, do you have any opinions?" Yang Reform didn't talk nonsense, and went directly to the core of the problem, and dispatched troops to Beijing.

A minister came out and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is too early to call at this time! It is only April now, and it will be at least one and a half years until October next year. It is so early to mobilize the elite from all over the world to enter Beijing." Firstly, wouldn’t it be telling Donglu Houjin that my Ming Dynasty has prepared, and Donglu dares to enter the customs? It’s up to me. Moreover, this opening is expensive, and it’s expensive! Look! Your Majesty, think twice."

If it is purely to deal with wild boar skins, it is indeed too early to mobilize troops and horses at this time. In fact, it will not be too late to mobilize them next year.However, Yang Reform is not just to deal with wild boar skin. It is obvious that the uprising in Shaanxi is estimated to start this year. If you don't make preparations now, when will you prepare?Also, I am going to mobilize the best soldiers from all over the world to defend the capital. Another important purpose is to kill the salt merchants.Yang Reform is also afraid that those bureaucrats will be pushed into a hurry, and the dog will jump over the wall in a hurry!Therefore, it is safe enough to have all the best soldiers in the world in your own hands.

"Hmph, it's better if the eastern captives don't enter the customs. I wish I could frighten them. This Qing family has thought about it. How long will it take me to travel from south to north? If it is to transfer troops, from south to north. The capital, how long will it take? It’s not half a year, I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it through. It will take another one or two months for the edict to be passed, and the departure still needs to be prepared, and it will take a long time. How can it not be advanced? What if next year’s autumn and winter season, what if the Eastern Captives’ gold is brought forward? What should we do? If the reinforcements have not arrived, should I personally conscript or should I watch the Eastern Captives slaughter my people?”

If the wild boar skin does not enter the customs, Yang Reform would be very happy, but that is impossible. If the wild boar skin does not enter the customs, they will starve to death and fall apart, so there is no need for the Ming Dynasty to fight.Therefore, I will definitely enter the customs, no matter how difficult it is, I will enter the customs.

Yang Reform made the minister feel ashamed and dizzy with a burst of chatter and lectures.

This Ming Dynasty is really too big. Even if there is no distance of thousands of miles from the southernmost to the northernmost, there are still roads of seven or eight thousand miles. Walking fifty or sixty miles a day is already the performance of the ancient elite troops. It will take more than 100 days, four months, and I'm afraid I won't be able to arrive.

"Your Majesty's words are true, Your Majesty's words are true." The minister who just said something was ashamed immediately. He didn't expect the emperor to understand so well. He was not a fool. He was going to fool him, but he didn't.

Another minister came out and played: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask Your Majesty, Your Majesty plans to transfer troops from the southernmost point? Could it be that Madam Gaoming, the governor signed the matter, the commander-in-chief Qin Liangyu, Mrs. Qin?" [Qin Liangyu's husband's surname is Ma , should be called Mrs. Ma, but in order to be more friendly and intuitive, it is still called Mrs. Qin. 】

"Exactly, I plan to transfer Mrs. Qin to the capital to defend the capital." Yang Reform answered very readily. Unexpectedly, this Qin Liangyu is also famous in the Ming court!I just mentioned the transfer of troops from the south, and some people naturally thought of her. It seems that this reputation spread far and wide, and this kind of person was used to describe this kind of person.

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Qin is a well-known warrior in our dynasty. She is a heroine who is proficient in battle, has experienced many battles, and has outstanding achievements. She is a rare heroine!" This person, it seems, is very fond of Qin Liangyu. Admired!It seems that this image of Qin Liangyu being able to fight has been deeply imprinted on the psychology of the Ming court, and there is no prejudice against Qin Liangyu just because she is a woman.

In fact, everyone knows that this is about to start a movie with Donglu Houjin. According to the past record, it is natural to need a general who can fight, otherwise, it will be a tragedy if you encounter the imperial conquest and the scene of collapse at the touch of a button. Another civil engineering change!The Ming Dynasty couldn't afford to lose that man, so naturally they wanted to praise this man who could fight.

"Well, since you and your family have no objection, then call Mrs. Qin to lead the troops and enter the capital immediately to defend the capital. The number, I think, is six thousand." He was so impressed that no one raised any objections, so he made do with it and passed the resolution to call Qin Liangyu to Beijing.

In fact, this resolution does not need to be passed at all. If Yang Reform is not passed, it will be called, and if it is passed, it will be called. There is no way out, and I don't want to kill my wife and children by myself, and hang them on Meishan Mountain.

A minister came out and said, "Your Majesty, is six thousand a little too much? Mrs. Qin is far away in Sichuan, and the journey to Beijing is too far away. I'm afraid the military expenses..."

This person belonged to the Ministry of Households, and Yang Reform could guess it by feeling. When discussing the matter, he said that the money must belong to the Ministry of Households.In fact, Yang Reform is also very entangled with this number. The more people there are, the more food and salaries will obviously cost, but if there are fewer, the suppression will not be effective.This minister, it can be said that the words have gone to Yang Reform's heart.

Sun Chengzong came out and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the number of six thousand is not many. I think back then, on the Liaodong battlefield, the "white soldiers" of the general Qin's officers and soldiers fought bloody battles against the eastern captives. The above is the only way to hold a stalemate with the Eastern captives. Now, if Your Majesty wants to prevent the Eastern captives from entering the pass, you must not increase troops one by one as before, which has become a tendency to add fuel. Therefore, I think that the number of six thousand is appropriate."

Sun Chengzong is worthy of being a veteran, and by referring to the previous battle example, he convinced Yang Reform and other ministers.

"Then six thousand. As for the cost... I know that the household department has no money, so I will pay it from my internal funds." Yang Reform gritted his teeth and decided to pay six thousand. I said six thousand is fine, so let's say six thousand. When it came to the cost, I saw that the official from the household department was about to come out and "have something to say", so I had to come out and stop him first, lest he talk nonsense.

The official of the household department was relieved when he saw that the emperor had taken over the expenses for sending troops, and he was shocked when he saw the emperor's "gritting his teeth" to him. When it comes to doing things, the emperor has to pay from his own money. I'm afraid this is very unpopular with the emperor!Shocked, he broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"How much is the fee?" Yang Reform asked again.Yang Reform really didn't have any knowledge about the cost of sending troops in ancient times.But when I thought about it, I realized that I had asked the wrong person, and I saw someone pouting their lips, ready to speak, and then I remembered, how could I have forgotten the "piaomei" feature of the late Ming Dynasty so quickly?He quickly said again: "Then give 10 taels first, and let Mrs. Qin feed the soldiers well. I will directly send someone to deliver the money to Mrs. Qin, so that Mrs. Qin can leave as soon as possible." The reform hastily spit out the figure of 10 taels, an average of 16 taels per person, and it takes about four or five months to walk to the capital. Each person consumes four taels of silver every month, which is not much.After all, this is an elite soldier, or a long journey, which consumes more.

When the Minister of the Ministry of War saw the emperor asking how much the cost of dispatching troops, he pouted and was happy in his heart. This question should be answered by himself. One and two hundred thousand taels of silver, just about to speak, saw the emperor say 20 taels again, and wanted to send the money directly to Qin Liangyu himself, feeling annoyed in his heart, thinking that the emperor was too smart and obedient.Thinking about it again, I don't blame the emperor. There are still people who say to the emperor in the court hall that "floating" is generally "10%".No wonder the emperor doesn't trust us.I was very annoyed, but I had already walked out, and it was not easy to go back, so I had to say something casually: "Your Majesty, I think that if it is more than 10 taels, Mrs. Qin's 'white soldiers' can be sold in prefectures and counties." Local food can be supplied by the states and counties along the way, and it will not cost as much as 10 taels." The Minister of the Ministry of War thought to himself: Well, I don't get a cent, and I can't let others get it.

Relying on the supply from the states and counties along the way, Yang Reform knows a little bit about it. However, Yang Reform thinks that if you have money in your hands, you don’t panic. You always rely on the supply from the local states and counties. Eat, are you breaking up?This seems to have happened many times in later history!In particular, it was a mess when the soldiers and horses from all over the world were summoned. I had to pay attention to this sign and not trust the local capabilities too much.

Immediately said: "Well, I will eat places along the way, and the local prefectures and counties will supply them. The 10 taels is the starting fee. Let Mrs. Qin put the soldiers in suitable clothes and buy a pair of shoes that fit their feet. , you should also dress decently!"

The Minister of the Ministry of War rolled his eyes and realized that the 10 taels belonged to someone else, and he didn't even smell a fishy smell.Now back down again.
