Chapter 1019 is hard to end
Remote states and counties use people as herdsmen officials, which has been called a reward and an exception, and the prefect of Liaozhen and below are all in charge of affairs, which is also shocking. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
However, what Wang Xijue said in the recital is also vague, and it is also a secret performance, and this news will not be spread outside, Wang Xijue's meaning is very clear, the minister proposed it, and it is His Majesty's business to do it or not.
Splitting Liaozhen into three general armies and setting up a province to govern this proposal was directly brought to the court meeting by Emperor Wanli for discussion, and the ministers were also very in favor of it.
The establishment of Jizhen in addition to the defense of the Tartar ministries, there is also a barrier at the Shanhaiguan to prevent the soldiers and horses of Liaozhen from going south, really to the level of the world, everyone is worried about all aspects, can not have the slightest difference.
Wenchen didn't want the military generals to sit big, and no one in the world wanted to have such a large military force on the side of Gyeonggi, but Li Chengliang managed the law and had too much power, and outsiders had to weigh and consider if they wanted to act, and the money in the Jingshi was sprinkled with a lot of money, and there were many people who spoke for him, so everyone could only pinch their noses and admit it.
But now that Liaozhen has been defeated, the Li family's momentum is not as good as before, and the strength of the deputy general Ma Lin and the deputy general Sun Shoulian has not been damaged much, which is a good time.
Split into three general soldiers, restrain each other, take out a single one, the voice power is much weaker than before, the imperial court can naturally suppress it calmly, and set up a province in such a big place as Liaozhen, it must be placed from the governor to the county below a complete set of teams, now today there are many people who are qualified to be officials, the official position is lacking, suddenly there are so many positions out, everyone is easy to arrange, this is good for the individual and the Ming Dynasty, naturally everyone is in favor.
Wang Xijue's compromises also derogated the combat power of the border army and the style of the border army, thinking that it was not as good as the Beijing camp and the forbidden army, manipulating the door up and down, and the disadvantages were too serious.
This argument also belongs to the discussion that can be discussed at the court meeting, and the government and the opposition are also more and more dissatisfied with the border army, most of the taxes collected every year are allocated to the border army, and the profits of border trade are also deducted by the border army for various reasons, and they are rarely handed over to the court.
If there is a mess, the Beijing division will allocate troops and horses to remedy it, everyone has this account in their hearts, the Huwei army has excellent armor, the food and salary are all fully paid, not to mention the equipment, there is no ambiguity, the battle has never failed, it is to annihilate the enemy's army, and even capture and kill the enemy chieftain, but the cost can be calculated, it is really not as good as the nine sides, and the one with the least cost on the nine sides is much more than the consumption of the Huwei army.
In such a comparison, Jiubian could not be more rotten in the hearts of the government and the opposition, and unconsciously, many people agreed with Wang Tong's plan to abolish and reform the border towns.
When Wang Xijue's letter came, the news that the Eastern Expeditionary Army had annihilated the remnants of the Jianzhou Army and captured Nurhachi and Shuerhaqi had not yet reached the Beijing Division.
Before the good news of this victory was passed to the Beijing Division, Wang Xijue had another note, which said that "the enemy is outside the country", he said that the nine sides were set to defend, not to attack, such a setting would make the enemy calmly expand, and then the Ming Dynasty was passively beaten.
Taking Naturalization City as an example, I thought that after occupying Naturalization City, the Ming Dynasty would invest a lot of soldiers and horses to protect it, because the various tribes on the grassland would definitely continue to besiege it.
But the actual case is the opposite of this, after the Naturalization City was occupied by the Ming Dynasty, the regimental training armed forces in the city attacked everywhere, suppressing the tribes on the grassland and not raising their heads, and then the corresponding border towns have not encountered any major pressure since the Naturalization City belonged to the Ming Dynasty, and there was not even any conflict.
This is because the Ming Dynasty has a stronghold outside the border wall and begins to attack, and the various tribes on the grassland are on the defensive, either attached or dispersed, or annihilated, and naturally there is no room to disturb the border towns.
Take this example to compare Liao Town, the north and east of the border wall of Liao Town are vast, Haixi Jurchen, Beishan Jurchen and various ethnic tribes live in groups, although the Jianzhou Jurchen was destroyed this time, the Haixi Jurchen is also a heavy loss, but the hidden danger is still there, can not be taken lightly, and the east outside the border wall of Liao Town is different from the rest of the border towns, the north of the rest of the border towns are the Gobi grassland, but the outside of the border wall of Liao Town is fertile soil, although there is only one season a year, but the production of this season is already rich enough, set up strongholds to attack and expand outward, Ensuring the safety of Liaozhen is one thing, and such a territory is of great benefit to the Ming Dynasty.
Then Wang Xijue explained very concretely, in the current land of Liao Town, strict clearing of acres of land is implemented, no encroachment and concealment are allowed, and the gentry landlords of Liao Town are forced to go out of the border wall to reclaim and pioneer the land, and everything is modeled on the example of the Naturalization City, allowing them to organize their own group training, and the products imported by them outside the border wall are exempt from duty.
As the second assistant of the cabinet, it is natural to write such a clear and coherent book, Wang Xijue has always had the evaluation of capable ministers, but his ability is not discussed in the fold, how can a civil official who has been in Jiangnan and the center for a long time understand the nine sides and the colonial pioneers that have only risen in recent years.
Everyone also knows in their hearts, Wang Xijue can write these things, and Wang Tong can't make a lot of efforts behind him, Wang Tong does have a reputation in this regard, and he always thinks about Daming in this kind of thing.
In the past, when the army went out, everyone talked about how to win or lose, how to raise military salaries, and how to clean up the mess.
Each letter may represent a change in the future policy of the imperial court, and there are thousands of people who are related to it and are affected in one way or another.
Wang Xijue's proposal to pioneer outside the border wall, from the imperial court to the Beijing Division, from the Beijing Division to the northern provinces, it took not a long time, and it took a long time to formulate a strategy, but up to the noble bureaucrats, down to the gentry and heroes, but they all understood what this represented, didn't everyone regret that the wave of Naturalization City did not catch up? Didn't get out of the plug in time to do things, as a result, many people who were not as good as themselves are now making a fortune, outside the border wall of Liaozhen, no matter how you look at it, it is stronger than the outside of the naturalized city, even if you don't go there to do business, the black soil that is all flowing oil, circle out thousands of hectares, get some serfs to farm, isn't it also happy?
As for the ferocious man, he was not afraid of this, before leaving, he went to Tianjin Wei to buy a cart and firearms, and hired a guard team composed of several veterans, afraid that he would do something, and when he took root and practiced the village brave regiment by himself, he went out to rob his mother
For a time, from Beijing to Beizhili, from Shanxi to Shandong, up and down, the crowd was surging, all of them were gathering people, buying equipment, and preparing to go out of the adventure.
Many people were not sure at first, but seeing that those people in Jingshi who had such and such relationships with eunuchs and ministers were all prepared, they knew that this matter was reliable, so don't fall behind and make a fortune!
The Eastern Expedition army reported a great victory, and after the victory arrived in Beijing, it added fuel to the fire of this trend, since the outside has been cleared into this, then everyone must hurry up, not to mention that Tianjin Wei has already heard from the side, and Sanjiang Commercial Bank has taken the lead, which is more telling the problem.
However, there are also officials related to officialdom in the officialdom, on the one hand, they arrange for their cronies and others to make a fortune, and on the other hand, they turn their attention back.
The Eastern Expeditionary Army went to Liaozhen, beheaded nearly 60,000 in total, and returned the head of the thief chieftain, what a great achievement, and how should Wang Tong, as the commander, be rewarded.
Not to mention anything else, after this great achievement, Chen Ju, who supervised the army, actually had a precedent for being a marquis, Wang Tong was already a marquis, what should the court give him.
There is an old saying "Feng Tang is easy to be old, Li Guang is difficult to seal", this sentence was changed in Jingshi, called "Wang Tong is not old, Wang Tong is difficult to seal".
If Wang Tong is dying of old age, it doesn't matter if he is crowned king, it's a big deal that the next generation is demoted to a hereditary position, Rongyang is, after Xu Da died of illness in Beiping Mansion at that time, the court posthumously crowned him as the king, but his children are all national princes, hereditary replacement, and very noble.
But Wang Tong is still young, also in his twenties, but his achievements have been amazing, and the prince of the country is obviously disadvantaged, but if he is crowned the king, he is young and healthy, and there must be many years of life, Wang Tong is in control of the military power, and there is a place to make money, giving him too high a title, where is the son of heaven, most of the emperors live shorter than the courtiers, and when the time comes, where will the prince be.
If you don't reward it, or even make a marriage trick to beat it like last time, the people of the world will be cold, and the dignity of the court will be gone, and what will the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army think, the reward for the boss is often a benchmark, and the reward for the boss is thick, and the following will not be bad.
If the boss is chilling on his side, then what will the soldiers below think, the Huwei Army is so strong, shaking the heart of the Huwei Army, and making the soldiers of the Huwei Army angry, no one can afford this responsibility.
In terms of the rules and procedures of doing things, as soon as Wang Tong's document arrived, it proved that the battle was over, and the next step was for the imperial court to send someone to inspect the head and verify the military merits, and then the relevant yamen of the imperial court would be rewarded with a reward, and it would be announced to the world and even worship the Taimiao.
Inspect the first level, check the military merits of the matter is simply not mentioned, Wang Tong will only report less than the actual situation, categorically not more, this will be a reward, but everyone is silent, at this time, there is a lot of risk in saying anything, in this case, everyone knows how to do it.
"The stakes are very high, and the ministers dare not speak falsely, but please judge the Holy Judgment"
This is what all the people involved say, and there are also rumors in the palace that Emperor Wanli dropped a cup in the imperial study when he saw the fold.
