Chapter 1183: Military Reform – The Beginning: Civilian and Military Duties
After Qin Song retreated, Yun Xi took out a pen and paper, wrote a few lines on it, and said to himself at the same time: "It seems that it is time to start reforming the military system." ”
"Minister, Xu Huizu, has seen Your Majesty." "Chen Meiyin/Li Jinglong/Chang Sheng/Qi Tai/Chen Xingshan...... I've seen Your Majesty. In the dining hall of the Qianqing Palace, many ministers saluted Yun Xi and said.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you don't have to be so polite, sit down, sit down." Yun Xi pointed to the next few seats and said to them.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xu Huizu and the others saluted again, said hello to Bang Zhao, Guo Zhen, Xie Jin and others who were already sitting in the house, and were about to sit separately.
"Xu Qing, sit next to me." Yun Xi greeted Xu Huizu with a smile again.
Suddenly, countless eyes flashed on his body. Xu Huizu himself felt a lot of pressure, but he didn't dare to disobey Yun Xi's order, and agreed to sit on Yun Xi's left hand side.
"Xu Qing, how is Yiwu's situation?" Yoon-hee asked.
"Your Majesty, before the minister left Iwu, all the great armies had left Igo and returned to the garrison eastward. The local people have also come out of the wounds caused by the war and are preparing for the coming year. ”
"When the minister passed by the Shaanxi Xingdu Division, His Royal Highness King Su was presiding over the suppression of bandits, commanding the soldiers to exterminate the surrounding bandits. Many have been wiped out. But it should have stopped by now. ”
"Most of the merchants who went to Igo with the army this time also returned east. Because of His Majesty's previous instructions, they were allowed to use the rail-drawn carriage to bring back the goods, but they were allowed to pay a freight. ”
"Thousands of miles from Iwu to Samarkand, even migration is not something that can be done in one year, but one has to prepare for the next year. Snow in the northwest is long overdue. You can't stay outside when it's snowing, it should have stopped. ”
"Businessmen transporting goods, Xu Qing, do you think it's good or bad to let them use railcars to transport goods?" Yoon-hee asked.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks," Xu Huizu said cautiously, "The cost of building a railroad carriage is high, but it is not used much on weekdays, so it can be used by merchants. ”
"It's good that you think that." Yun Xi smiled and said no longer talking about this topic, turned his head and said to everyone: "Everyone Aiqing, all eat, the table is full of delicacies in front of you, why don't you eat?" He said, holding up his soup bowl: "I have already started to eat, you don't have to wait for me." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone still agreed, and after Yunxi took a sip of soup, he began to eat.
After that, Yun Xi had dinner with them and chatted about some light topics, occasionally mixed with some government affairs. Some ministers accidentally made some foreign appearances, such as rice grains on the side of their mouths, Yun Xi made fun of a few words, and the minister himself replied with a smile, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
After everyone was almost seven or eight minutes full, some people had already put down the dishes and chopsticks and chatted while drinking soup, Yun Xi said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have been away from the capital for more than seven months, thanks to the Aiqing people who have handled everything for me, you have really worked hard. ”
"It's all the work of the ministers, and I don't dare to say that it is Your Majesty's hard work." Everyone hurriedly said.
"Hey, I'm not in the capital, and I have drawn officials from various ministries to follow me to Yiwu, you have more things to deal with, how can you say that it's not hard?"
"I will definitely reward you Aiqing. When I go to court tomorrow, I will issue a will to reward you Aiqing. Yun Xi said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone said very procedurally.
Yun Hee didn't care what they were talking about. Anyway, all the emperor's rewards, the ministers' rhetoric is similar, at most some words are slightly adjusted. So he immediately said: "But I have summoned you Aiqing here today, not for this matter. ”
"First, I haven't been in the capital for more than seven months, so I'll talk to you Aiqing, and second, I have something to discuss with Aiqing, whether it's appropriate."
Yun Xi asked the eunuch to remove the table, brought pastries and tea, took a sip of the teacup, glanced at the officials present, and continued: "I have heard that the officials in the capital have talked a lot about the fact that I did not set up a prison army in the battle of Annam the year before last and Samarkand this year? ”
"Your Majesty, it is true." Tyrant replied. He knew that this must have been told to Yunxi by Jinyiwei or Zhensi, but he didn't think there was anything, and it wasn't a scandal that needed to be hidden. "Your Majesty, in these two expeditions to remote places, there is naturally no need to set up a prison army with Your Majesty personally commanding, but Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, should rule by hanging the arch, how can you personally go to command every expedition? What's more, His Majesty's golden body can't take risks again and again. ”
"If it is not a war under the personal command of His Majesty, the minister thinks that a prison army should be established." Tyrant Zhao said.
"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that if there is another war and Your Majesty does not personally command, a prison should be set up in the army. Your Majesty, you must guard against the disaster of the Tang Dynasty's feudal towns! Xie Jin also said.
After that, the civilian officials present echoed the two of them, including Chen Xingshan, who served in the Governor's Office of the Five Armies. Although he is now in the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces, he is still a civilian official, so he naturally has to consider the problem from the perspective of a civilian official. What's more, he did think that the establishment of a prison army would be beneficial to the Ming Dynasty.
Faced with this situation, the military general rarely did not refute it. The emperor suddenly brought up this topic, no one knew what to think, it was very likely that he was biased towards setting up a prison army, wouldn't it be self-inflicted to refute it himself?
Yun Xi listened to their words quietly, and after everyone finished speaking, he said with a smile: "Of course the words of several Aiqing are reasonable. There are also disadvantages to the fact that there can be a prison guard. The power of the military generals of the Song Dynasty was very low, all under the command of civilian officials, and they could defend well when guarding against the enemy's attack, but they could attack the enemy, but there were few victories after the death of Song Taizong. The Ming Dynasty could not be reduced to the situation of the Song Dynasty. ”
In the face of Yun Xi's words, the civil officials had nothing to say. Because the Song Dynasty was the first dynasty in history to be completely wiped out by other ethnic groups, it was very low in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty when Han culturalism was on the rise, and no one dared to speak for the Song Dynasty on this point. What's more, this is not the middle and late Ming Dynasty, which has been peaceful for too long, but the early Ming Dynasty, and some people have also experienced the era when the Mongols oppressed the Han people, and they also despise the Song Dynasty in their hearts, let alone refute Yun Xi's words.
But soon someone reflected: 'Since Your Majesty has called us, you must have a plan in your mind about how to balance this matter. The man then said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and I ask Your Majesty to make it clear." ”
Yun Xi looked at this person and said with a smile: "Xie Aiqing, I do have some ideas, and I will consult with all Aiqing." ”
"My idea is to set up a civilian military attaché."
