Chapter 509: Two Hundred Years of Root Problems

With Sun Chengzong's reminder, Yang Gengai remembered that it was time to build a navy. Yang reform, who has always wanted to form a navy, has not been able to form a navy for various reasons, and today's naval division is still in line with the "existing policy" of the Ming Dynasty, rather than an independent existence, the real sense of the navy, not an independent and complete maritime force, is still a strong Ming Dynasty characteristics of the "naval division".

In the dark, Yang Reform seemed to have grasped a little spiritual light, and along with this spiritual light, Yang Reform felt that the time had come to establish an independent and complete navy, and the navy, as an independent service, should step onto the stage.

"I think that Master Sun's words are indeed reasonable, and now the coast of Liaodong alone is divided into several sections, not to mention Tianjin and Shandong, all of which are in charge of their own, which is extremely unfavorable for controlling the coast, patrolling the sea, and strictly preventing spies, there are too many gaps, in case of adulterers, the consequences will be irreparable, such as the section of the coast of Songshan Fort that Master Sun said today, it is really a big loophole, today I listened to Master Sun's words, I feel that it should be formed to unify the power, The navy that manages all matters at sea, except for the Liaodong and Bohai Seas, other sea areas should also have corresponding naval ......," Yang Gengai thought about it and said his own idea.

"Navy? Your Majesty, but do you want to concentrate the affairs of the sea in the hands of one person? But this is quite difficult" Sun Chengzong frowned and asked, the unification of maritime affairs is really a difficult problem, there is too much "knowledge" in it, Sun Chengzong is not unaware

The drawbacks in this, the problem is too complicated The Ming Dynasty has never had such a thing, even when it was harassed by the Japanese State to the worst, it did not form a navy or naval division with unified maritime powers, and they still defend themselves, you can build military forts all over the coast to defend against the Japanese invaders, but you can't build a naval division to control the entire sea area, even if it is Qi Jiguang's naval division, it is also a naval division supported by local governors and governors, and its scope is only a local governor, Under the jurisdiction of the governor, now the emperor wants to hand over the power of maritime affairs to one person, cross-regional, cross-sea management, the establishment of a naval division or a navy to manage maritime affairs, this is a problem, according to the current "policy" of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to control the sea power of the entire Bohai Sea, this official, at least have to seal a military department Shangshu and the right deputy capital of the imperial history, supervise the thistle, Liao, and supervise Deng, Lai, Ji, Qing, Tianjin military affairs, this is not counting Mao Wenlong's occupation of North Korea's territory, if you want to control it, this official title, you have to add more, This method of sealing the king of Bohai is obviously not in line with the emperor's vision......

Sun Chengzong's brow furrowed even higher.

"Oh? Hehe, does Master Sun feel that there is any difficulty? Yang Reform asked with a smile, the trouble of forming a navy, Yang Reform is not unaware, therefore, the establishment of the navy has been delayed until now, now, Yang Reform feels that the time has come, it is time to build a navy, it is time to let the navy officially debut, it is time to let the navy as an independent branch of the military, it seems to be a sense in the dark, that stroke

The light in my mind illuminates the future that has been blurred.

"Have you ever imagined the consequences of leaving the affairs of the sea to one man? For example, Liaodong, if everything on the sea is handed over to Mao Wenlong, this Mao Wenlong is several times greater than Yuan Chonghuan's rights, and even the supplies supplied by Yuan Chonghuan have to be nodded by Mao Wenlong.

"Well, I also know a little bit about the power of this, but now that the situation is urgent, I should be in a hurry and can't be handed over to Mao Wenlong, so I will find another person." Yang Gai said.

"No, Your Majesty's ministers don't mean this, in addition to this meaning, there is also a meaning, in addition to the great imbalance in power, it also involves great interests, Your Majesty can know the word 'drifting'?" Sun Chengzong was in a hurry, and stopped the emperor again and again, seeing that he couldn't make sense of the emperor, he had to say this more core thing.

"Drifting? Hehe, I know, isn't it just greed? I know......" Yang said with a smile.

"That's it, Your Majesty, since you know 'drifting', what should you mean by the word 'drifting'?" Sun Chengzong's brows furrowed, he knew the problem, but he didn't know how to solve it, this problem had been deeply rooted in the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years. ,

"What do you mean by the word drifting? …… Oh, Master Sun is saying that if I unify the power of affairs at sea, it will be inconvenient for those corrupt officials to do it? Isn't it convenient for them to 'drift'? Yang asked with a smile

Dao, Yang Reform, who is no longer a little white, also knows a lot about the disadvantages of the Ming Dynasty.

"Exactly, Your Majesty, since Your Majesty knows where the word drifting comes from, does Your Majesty have a way to solve the problem behind drifting?" Sun Chengzong's brows are not wrinkled, since he has talked to the emperor, he simply turned out the old bottom, with the wisdom of the current emperor, he may be able to solve this problem that has plagued the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years.

"Oh? What's the problem behind the drift? Yang asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the problem behind this drifting, in fact, is also a problem that has plagued me for two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, this problem is a problem at the root of my Ming Dynasty, if you don't solve this problem, drifting will always be a big problem, and it will never be solved, although Your Majesty can vigorously suppress it at this time, but it is by no means a long-term solution, and he will be rebounded in the future,...... Your Majesty should not forget, in fact, the kind of sailor who is in charge of all matters at sea that Your Majesty said is not nothing, and the fleet of Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Guarantees, is not the kind of sailor that His Majesty said? But where is he now? Sun Chengzong simply talked to the emperor completely.

"Well......, this is ......" mentioned Zheng He's fleet, which is indeed an independent maritime force that can manage maritime affairs, and that force is a terrorist force that can abolish other countries in the South Seas, but with the death of Zhu Di, this fleet will also be gone, completely disintegrated and abandoned.

“…… Can Master Sun explain more? What is the problem behind this drifting? What is the root problem that has plagued me for two hundred years? "I thought about it for a while

Yang reformed and asked Sun Chengzong again.

"Your Majesty, it is extremely difficult to hear, I am afraid of staining Your Majesty's ears......" Sun Chengzong said here, also a little embarrassed.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Yang Reform said, seeing Sun Chengzong like this, Yang Reform was even more curious.

"Your Majesty, the salary of my dynasty has always been extremely low, if Your Majesty forbids drifting, if this official only lives on salary, this ......, to say something that is not good, it is extremely difficult, Your Majesty may have heard of Hai Rui Haigang Peak, that is a year can not eat two taels of meat, eat meat, will be passed on by the court as a miracle Your Majesty, this minister should not say, but I have to say, this is the root problem behind the drifting, has plagued my dynasty for two hundred years, if this problem is not solved, to solve the problem of drifting, That's impossible, therefore, the minister said, to unify the sea power into the hands of one person, it is extremely difficult, even if His Majesty can now be pressed by force, but it will definitely rebound day by day, and it will definitely return to today's old road, and the matter of becoming an ancestor is enough to explain the problem...... "When Sun Chengzong said these words, the water chestnut was distinct, and his serious face, which had always been serious, also became a little embarrassed and blushed.

"Uh......" Yang Reform immediately understood what this root problem meant, and breathed a long sigh of relief, this is really a big problem that cannot be solved, and a long list of questions was immediately imprinted into Yang Reform's mind......

Speaking of the "navy" of the Ming Dynasty, we have to explain the strange "policy" of the DPRK, there is no independent navy, the sea area is under its own control, and the smallest can go to the guard,

The inspection department manages a section of the sea area, and the larger governor can manage a longer section of the sea area, however, whether it is a health station or a governor, there is a common characteristic, how many places in the territory are close to the sea, and the management scope of the sailor division is also large, there has never been a cross-regional, cross-sea area existence of the sailor, and when they start a war, they are all responsible for their respective territory that section of the sea area, and the sailor must be placed under the direct jurisdiction of the local bureaucracy rather than the central government. In fact, it is also a product of this policy, and some pirates composed of dozens or hundreds of people can make a country with a population of tens or even hundreds of millions helpless, which is really embarrassing, and this "policy" is really very brainless.

Even if it is going to fight a big war, it is necessary to transfer it across the sea, it is all drawn from various places, and then form a temporary naval division to fight, it is not a professional, fixed, standing navy, after the war, this temporary naval division has to be disbanded back to the locality, the Ming Dynasty did not raise the sea power to the national level, to the level of the military branches, from the current point of view, the sea power of the Ming Dynasty is the coastal defensive sea force under local control, or the militia, the militia navy. ,

As for the exception, it is Zheng He's fleet, however, the final fate of Zheng He's fleet is to be dismembered and finally abandoned, which is really sighing, and the reason for the abandonment is also very real, wasting national funds, wasting money and food, and the people are miserable. However, the actual situation is Zheng Zhilong in the late Ming Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong and his son are rich and rival countries with the protection of this maritime trade, and they can support hundreds of thousands of troops to fight, yes

The ability to rewrite history, become an important figure in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, and even raise a Ming Dynasty clan to play with, from this point of view, you know how absurd and ridiculous the reason for abandoning Zheng He's fleet is.

The real reason behind the reality is actually very simple, the salary is not able to support people, then only rely on "drifting", relying on corruption, that is, as the saying goes, relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, relying on the water to draft, in addition to drifting, there is a more "profitable" sea trade, therefore, this sea trade must be to "drift" down, why does the emperor want so much money? Since the emperor didn't send us money, then we had to find the money ourselves, and as for how the bureaucracy at that time fooled the emperor into abandoning the navy and abandoning Zheng He's fleet, this is also known to the parties concerned.

Zhu Di must have known that maritime trade was profitable, and he must have known the importance of building a navy, and he also implemented it, but he didn't solve this fundamental problem, what should he do with the official's salary? If the official's salary can't support himself, or can't let him live a superior life, he will definitely stretch out his hand to the place where there are interests, and there will definitely be something that will drift, if he now follows Zhu Di's old path and presses this matter with a tough attitude, Yang Reform feels that with his current strength, he may be able to do this, but if he does not solve the problem of officials' salary, he will inevitably follow Zhu Di's old road.

Thinking that he actually wanted to give his biggest "enemy" - the bureaucratic class a raise, Yang Reform felt that this world was really wonderful, thinking of this, Yang Reform could only smile awkwardly and helplessly, in addition to embarrassment and helplessness

, more bitter, very, very bitter......

"Hmm......" Yang Reform breathed a sigh of relief again, the trouble behind the unification of sea power is really a ** annoyance.

"Your Majesty understands?" Sun Chengzong's face is still a little embarrassed, this statement is really embarrassing, the bureaucrats who have always advertised themselves as the embodiment of kindness and justice, their real faces are really hateful.

"Well, I understand, the power of affairs on the sea still has to be unified, but the root problem of the past two hundred years must also be solved" Yang Reform said bitterly, thinking about the silver he finally got from the salt merchants, and now he actually wants to raise the ......salaries of those officials, this is funny enough, how not to be bitter?

"Your Majesty, Rong Chen said, if Your Majesty unifies the maritime affairs again, this will force the officials into a corner, and it will definitely cause a greater backlash, Your Majesty think about it, Your Majesty issued silver coins, abolished the fire consumption in many places, and abolished the salt merchants, the income of this salt government, those officials are gone, if Your Majesty will 'drift' again, Your Majesty, you have to think twice Even if Your Majesty has the ability to force it today, but he will definitely rebound more violently in the future......" Sun Chengzong saw that the emperor was still bent on unifying the power of maritime affairs, simply, The old bottom has been completely turned out, perhaps, the emperor really has a way, and he can't say, this emperor who comes out once in a hundred years, no, a thousand years, may be able to solve this problem, Sun Chengzong has a glimmer of hope.

"Uh......" Yang Reform listened to Sun Chengzong's words, and instantly felt a lot tired, this is really a ** annoyance, and it will move the whole body and cure it

A big country is like cooking a small fresh, it is really true, add an extra spoonful of salt and it will be salty, put a little less salt and it will be light, and you can't do things by your own temperament

“…… I understand...... Yang Gengai smiled bitterly, really bitter laughter, but then came more firm words: "...... We want to unify the sea power, and I want to solve the root problem behind this......"

Yang Reform in the end, but ambitious, support Yang reform, is the thirty or forty million taels of silver he just got and the prestige formed along the way, as well as the support of the army, with these, Yang Reform believes that he can solve this problem, no matter how bad it is, he can also learn from Zhu Di, at least he can press the problem when he is alive, I believe that for so many years, I should also have the time and ability to solve the root problem that has been left for two hundred years. I'm not afraid, it's unreasonable to be afraid of so much capital now. ,

"Your Majesty" The emperor's ambition rippled in an instant, Sun Chengzong was a little shocked, the emperor would have died down, or seek a compromise, but he did not expect that the emperor was full of confidence to face this fundamental problem that had been left over from the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years.

“…… Your Majesty, I wonder how Your Majesty will solve this problem? Sun Chengzong asked curiously.

"Hahaha...... I am free, and it is endless fun to fight with the sky, and it is even more fun to fight with people" Yang Gengai laughed, trying to find the light in his mind.

"Your Majesty wants a raise?" Sun Chengzong hurriedly anxious

Asked.

"A raise? Well, I do have to raise my salary, how can I solve my problems in the past two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty if I don't raise my salary? Yang Reform took over the conversation, a little unwilling, and said helplessly, now the salary of the Ming Dynasty is indeed lower, and he does not expect to be able to raise a high salary, at least, this salary must also let the officials have a minimum of decency, otherwise, it is necessary to drift.

"Your Majesty, you can't raise your salary at this time," Sun Chengzong said anxiously.

"Oh, why?" Yang asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, where did the money come from? Now that His Majesty has just copied the wealth of the salt merchants, if His Majesty is in a hurry to raise the salaries of the officials, how will the people of the world think of His Majesty? This gossip, if it is advocated by people with a heart, is it still not enough to fly? Your Majesty's reputation is extremely unfavorable," Sun Chengzong said anxiously, telling the emperor the seriousness of the matter, the root problem of the past two hundred years is not so easy to solve.

"Uh......" Yang Reform suddenly had a feeling of wanting to die, even a salary increase is so troublesome, and it is even more bitter, what is going on with you? I still have to dig out my mind to raise the salaries of those "enemies" of myself, and I have to guard against my "enemies" to spread rumors about myself, what are I doing? Cheap or not? I should learn from Zhu Yuanzhang and cut off their heads like mowing grass, and ...... thought that those human heads that were cut off like mowing grass were like leeks, and they would soon grow out and let them be cut again, and Yang Reform was even more powerless.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......" Sun Chengzong's face was so bitter that he didn't

10/11

The emperor who got it screamed a few times, for fear that his question would scare the emperor.

"Well, I'm fine, it's just a little distracted, by the way, the plan is still the same, maritime rights still have to be unified, now the enemy is current, the East has not been destroyed, there are some things, must be suppressed, as for the candidate, I will not let Mao Wenlong go, presumably in this way, it can also reduce some pressure, in addition, Lei Dayong and Shang Kexi are two people, still go to the south, Shang Kexi still go to transport silver, but, Lei Dayong will not go to Shanghai for the time being, Shanghai will build a military port, I will order someone to build it, Let Lei Dayong go to Zheng Huaizhong to receive a batch of newly built warships, and then sail the entire fleet to the Bohai Sea,...... This Zheng Zhilong, uh...... This year, we are also planning to play the Ryukyus,...... There is also the immigration to be handed over......" Yang Reform thought about it again, this matter is really troublesome, and all kinds of things that never end are still one after another.
