Chapter 6: Disputes

What can make Chen Xin feel a headache at a glance is the old-fashioned civil officials who were sent by him to the local area to do patrol work. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, although he had a headache, it was impossible for Chen Xin to drive people out.

So, I walked into the restaurant with a smile on my face.

The people who were talking about the matter inside immediately got up, bowed and saluted, "Meet Your Majesty." ”

Chen Xin also raised his hand slightly, and said slightly, "You are all pillars of the country, don't be polite, please get up quickly." ”

This is not Chen Xin's hypocrisy, the three old-style civil officials in the room are the only remaining civil officials who have not violated the law and discipline during the last purge. The others are also the main responsible persons of the Military Management Commission.

They are now all important ministers of the country, and as the masters of the entire country, Chen Xin should maintain a certain amount of respect for these helpers who help him govern the country.

In dealing with courtiers, Chen Xin believes that "the monarch and the minister do not insult each other" is the most basic courtesy.

As long as the courtiers did not do anything harmful to the country, did not break the law or discipline, Chen Xin was willing to maintain a harmonious relationship with them and tolerate their character flaws.

It's like now.

"Your Majesty, the minister believes that the system of the Military Management Commission must be abolished immediately, and the functions of the Military Management Commission must be replaced by the official six departments."

Before Chen Xin could say anything else, Li Chengming, who was one of the only remaining achievements of the old-style civil official, jumped out and opened fire.

"I knew it was going to be like this." Chen Xin slandered in his heart, and before Chen Xin could speak, the people from the Military Management Committee also blew up.

The Military Management Commission was originally an organization formed by Chen Xin to transfer personnel from the military to manage the civilian population in order to solve local civil affairs after the purge of civilian officials.

The officials in it are also drawn from the army, and the soldiers are naturally hot-tempered, especially the small number of troops under Chen Xin, most of the officers are commanders who lead the charge on the front line, and their tempers are much hotter than those of those senior commanders.

When I hear someone calling for the abolition of the Military Control Council, isn't that the removal of these Military Control Council officials? That's not going to blow up.

One of them slapped the table on the spot and said, "Li Chengming, do you know what you're talking about?" Abolish the Military Control Council, do you know how much the Military Management Committee has contributed? ”

The other person also said angrily, "That is, if you don't know the role of the military management committee, let me tell you."

Last year, Huang Taiji suddenly gathered forces and attacked the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty from the direction of steppe Mongolia.

Just when our army was preparing to raid Houjin's lair, Anbuyang and Sukh Saha staged a coup d'Γ©tat in Shangjing, killed Amin, and re-branded the banner of Houjin.

After that, Sukh Saha raised the whole country to attack, 40,000 Jurchen cavalry, plus 80,000 Korean servants, 120,000 regular troops, plus those forcibly recruited along the way, that is hundreds of thousands of troops.

At that time, all the combat units of our army combined were less than 20,000 people.

Under that dangerous situation, the king personally led thousands of men and horses to build a fortress on dangerous terrain outside our base area, depleting the enemy's vital forces and blocking the enemy's advance, so as to buy time for the general mobilization in the rear.

At that time, the army was all desperately training, assembling, and constantly going to the enemy's rear by sea, destroying the enemy's logistics forces in the movement.

And the king has always been on the front line of the battle between the two sides, confronting the enemy's large army.

Under that circumstance, the civil official system at that time all thought that the king would be defeated and began to seize power.

They began to work unintentionally, let all kinds of situations in the jurisdiction go unnoticed, and continued to connect in tandem, ready to override the king.

After half a year of continuous efforts, Jun Shang led everyone to defeat the enemy at that time, so that Suke Saha and An Buyang still dare not look north.

However, when the king came back with the bones of more than 4,000 soldiers who died in battle, what did he see?

At that time, the administrative region of North Korea was in a predicament of chaos without a fight, and chaos and depression filled every corner of the region. The average price here has risen 3 times in half a year, and grain has risen 9 times.

We have set up ordnance factories, textile factories, iron and steel factories, coal washing plants, forging factories, machine factories, shipyards, and a dozen other factories, large and small, about 50,000 workers who are paid entirely on monetary wages, and their real incomes have fallen considerably.

By the time the king returned with his troops in March, everyone's salary could not buy daily necessities.

This originally prosperous area is becoming more and more depressed day by day.

When the king directly arrested all the civil officials, verified all the facts, and tried most of the old-style officials, the king and our triumphant soldiers faced such a hellish scene. ”

The minister who slapped the table at the beginning of the war management committee spoke again: "Can we regain our vitality in the face of the inflationary and production depression left by the old bureaucracy?" It was a great challenge for us to win the initial victory against Houjin. ”

Everyone talked about the miserable scene in the territory at that time, and they all sighed.

Chen Xin also thought of the heartache he faced when he just came back half a year ago.

The third minister of the Military Management Commission continued, "That's not all, at that time, there were more than 100,000 displaced people caused by Huang Taiji's invasion of the Ming Dynasty.

Originally, according to the plan made by the king before, as long as these homeless people are well coordinated in batches, and their jobs and residences are arranged, they can be easily absorbed and will not have any impact on us.

However, it was still because the old-style bureaucrats tried to overthrow the monarch and fought for power and profit without any intention of working, so that more than 100,000 victims were stranded in one place, which almost caused a catastrophe. ”

Then came the fourth person: "In addition to these, there is also the problem of prisoners after the great victory, after all the mobilization of our army, there are only more than 40,000 people, but most of them are more than 10,000 reinforcements sent by Amin earlier, and this old-style army needs to be disbanded or reorganized.

While reorganizing and disbanding these old troops, we also have to find a way to settle more than 20,000 prisoners. ”

"Not only that, but also the invasion of the Dutch, our navy also fought a fierce battle with the Dutch fleet, losing three fast crabs of the coast guard, and three new warships of the navy also suffered varying degrees of damage.

Although the Dutch did not come back after that, we were held back by hundreds of thousands of new immigrants and unable to launch a counteroffensive, so we still need to be ready to defend against the Dutch at any time. ”

"So, how many of you guys, do you know how much effort the Military Management Council has put in to maintain the stability of the base area under that kind of mess, persist until the first autumn harvest, and create the situation where the kingdom is established today?

How dare you, how dare you make a big fuss here, saying that you want to abolish the Military Control Council? With the abolition of the Military Control Commission, will power once again be placed in the hands of the corrupt personnel of the Sixth Ministry, who attempted a coup d'Γ©tat? ”

Li Chengming's faces were also very ugly, but they didn't slap the table and yell back.

The three of them tidied up their clothes and saluted several ministers of the Military Management Commission.
