Chapter 559: Fishing in troubled waters? 3500
"interesting……"
Holding the Datong War Report, the emperor couldn't help but chuckled.
He glanced at the civil servants and military generals who were arguing about the war in the main hall, and the smiles on the corners of the emperor's mouth slowly dissipated.
What he was concerned about was never the two wars between the north and the south.
Nanming is just an empty arsenal, and it will be overturned with one push. The difficulty is nothing more than the governance reconstruction after being overturned.
As for Mongolia...
Xuanfu, Datong, Ningxia, Yansui, Jizhen, Guyuan... a total of eight border towns, with an account of as many as 360,000 troops.
In addition, the almost cross-age fixed-fitting flintlock rifle and the huge number of cannons that are the best in the world, the era when Mongolia relies on its riding and shooting can be said to be in decline.
If the focus is not on the grassland at present and national affairs are difficult, it would not be difficult to take the initiative, step on the grassland, plow the courtyard and sweep the caves.
With such troops preparedness, it is more than enough to deal with Lin Dankhan's southward advance, not to mention that there are more than 100,000 Beijing troops and nearly 100,000 imperial guards in the capital, but none of them have been used.
Lin Danhan has never been a real threat!
The real problem of Daheng lies in the internal!
Thoughts circulate, the emperor turns around and his eyes froze on the secret memos handed over from all over Shaanxi on the table.
The emperor knew very well that since the disaster of establishing a country with a vast situation, Daheng’s biggest problem has been no longer external troubles, but a long internal trouble.
Without this shitty little ice age, this so-called internal trouble would not be considered a big deal.
But what is helpless is that the natural disasters brought about by the Little Ice Age are still plundering in Daheng, affecting tens of millions of people!
In order to solve this internal problem, solve the problem of Chen Ke left by Qianming, and also to Daheng Jiye.
He started this unprecedented reform, relying on military centralization, and cut down the foundation for the rule of the world in previous dynasties and the landlords and gentry to pieces!
In this way, it naturally completely offended a dynasty, the most important foundation, the landlords and gentry!
If the world is unified and Daheng is invincible in the world, offending will also be offended. In this world, there is nothing short of people who want to be officials!
Thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the Lord.
No matter how unwilling the gentry and landlords were reluctant to accept it, they could only accept it with their noses and could only honestly make a living under the rules he set.
But now in this world, the Southern Ming exists, the Mongolia exists, and the natural disasters that continue to spread throughout the world.
It is completely conceivable that with the existence of countless unwilling people, coupled with the interference of Mongolia and the extremely orthodox legal principles of the Southern Ming Dynasty, how complicated the internal worries of Daheng are!
Just like the current project disaster relief strategy, it has gathered millions of victims!
No matter how you look at this, it seems that it is not a wise plan.
However, if he did not concentrate on major tasks so much, he would still allocate the money and food for disaster relief as before, and the bureaucrats from all over the country would do their own things...
Even if he checked it strictly, the massive amount of disaster relief money and food that was truly implemented would probably not be saved. This continuous natural disaster would inevitably become a fatal tumor for Daheng, and he kept giving Daheng blood!
Then no matter how much he does, he will sooner or later be dragged to death by this natural disaster.
Only by concentrating on major tasks can he not rely entirely on the bureaucratic class and allow all the forces he possess to participate in it, check and balance each other, and supervise each other, so as to avoid the connection between the upper and lower levels!
To the greatest extent, solve the disadvantages caused by natural disasters.
With the organizational ability of this era, he tried every means to use all the power he could to barely maintain stability.
This stability is undoubtedly extremely fragile.
If there are slight twists and turns, breaking this fragile stability will inevitably be a huge disaster!
Before, external troubles had not been revealed, and the center of gravity was in China. There was no place to hide the water and the turtle, so it was stable.
Now that the war between the north and the south has begun, this scattered water is muddy, and all monsters have emerged, and they all want to make the scattered water even more muddy! If the world of Daheng collapses, then they can lie on the people of the world and suck blood!
"call………"
The emperor let out a long sigh, pondered for a while, walked away, and walked to the hall.
"See Your Majesty!"
The civil officials and military generals who were arguing immediately stopped arguing and bowed to the emperor.
The emperor casually threw the battle report handed over by General Datong on the table, leaned on the dragon throne, looked at the civil servants and generals and asked:
"I believe you have seen the battle report of the General Datong, and you all told me how to fight this battle?"
All the civil officials and military generals were silent for a moment, and Sun Yuanhua, the first-class military officer of the General Staff, took the lead in speaking out:
"Your Majesty, I finally think that now we should let the Duke of Liao lead his army to Datong as soon as possible, coordinate the power of the border towns, and defend the enemy outside the country's gates!"
The emperor glanced at Sun Yuanhua and then looked at the silent military advisers. Obviously, Sun Yuanhua's words represented the opinions of the General Staff and the Governor's Office of the Five Army.
The emperor didn't ask much, his eyes froze, and looked at several cabinet ministers and several ministers from the Ministry of War, Works, and Revenue.
Feeling the emperor's gaze, several cabinet ministers looked at each other. Then, Yang Sichang, the Minister of War, bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I also think that border towns are the most important at present. If a general is to coordinate border towns and defend the enemy outside the country."
"But I think that the Battle of Datong is the most important thing, and the land of Shaanxi should also be the focus!"
The emperor raised his eyebrows and glanced at the martial generals with different expressions. Then he looked at Yang Sichang again and signaled him to continue speaking.
"Your Majesty, natural disasters are rampant in all regions, and engineering disaster relief is spread all over the world, and among them, Shaanxi is the most serious..."
"Only at present, the number of direct participants in major projects in Shaanxi has reached nearly four million, which has an indirect impact..."
"Now, officials at all levels in Shaanxi, various commercial banks in the inner court, garrisons in various places in Shaanxi, and the three sides of Shaanxi, as well as the Ministry of Works and the Daheng Engineering Academy..."
"Although it is called the Ministry of Works, it is actually a battle with each other, and it is difficult to form a joint force. If it is still fine on weekdays, now that the Civil War has begun, there are endless people with ulterior motives..."
"I think we should choose a capable minister to take charge of Shaanxi and coordinate all military, political and engineering disaster relief matters in Shaanxi. Only in this way can we form a joint force and deterrent..."
The emperor frowned slightly, glanced at the civil and military ministers present, and finally frozen on the civil officials. His voice seemed a little cold: "Is that what do you think?"
The ministers of the ministry remained silent.
The emperor chuckled, and the coldness was already revealed in the depths of his eyes.
Now, who can you choose a capable minister to take charge of Shaanxi?
Among the martial arts, there are only four Dukes who have the qualifications to take charge of Shaanxi!
Now, Duke Jingguo and Duke Yue are in charge of the army to pacify Jiangnan, Duke Liao goes to the northern border to fight against Mongolia, Duke Ding is still making contributions to the North Korea to atone for his sins!
In addition, the government is still coordinating the project disaster relief matters, and even the money and food are allocated to the court!
At this special time, if you advise the ministers who are in charge of Shaanxi, you can only choose from the civil servants!
Choose a civilian official and command hundreds of thousands of troops? Coordinate the military and political affairs of a province? Or is it Shaanxi, which has such a special situation!
What do they want to do?
Suppressing military honors, gathering military power, and limiting imperial power? Or for... Ming Dynasty?
The emperor's eyes became more and more cold!
He didn't mind the expansion of his ministers' power, and even he made accusations and even indulged them again and again!
However, the premise of all this is that only when he gives it to the ministers, but if he doesn't give it, he still has delusions and plans like a forced palace!
"Someone is fishing in troubled waters?"
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, but this possibility flashed in his mind.
In the Ming Dynasty, the scholars and officials who were raised by Rongyang had already abandoned them!
No matter when, serving the country and the people is not the first concept of these scholars and officials!
Their first idea is how to gather power and how to eliminate all factors that conflict with the scholars and officials.
I want to return to the previous Ming Dynasty, take charge of the power of the world alone, govern the country by literati, and govern the holy emperor with his priest!
For this concept, they can ignore anything and take advantage of the opportunity as long as they have the opportunity. Even at this critical moment, they only want to further gather power, and even completely interfere in military power and restrict imperial power!
This time, the timing was chosen so well, which was obviously the plan of the civil servants!
Perhaps, they thought that if they had controlled the overwhelming power in Shaanxi, they would feel safe, and the emperor would not dare to overturn the table at will...
Perhaps, there was an unexpected existence in this muddy water, and he was planning with the help of the literati and doctors?
After all, once civil officials take charge of Shaanxi, it will inevitably lead to fierce conflicts between civil and military officials. With the current situation in Shaanxi, fierce conflicts between civil and military officials will undoubtedly be equivalent to directly detonating the entire Shaanxi. Shaanxi has detonated. Under the chain reaction, all previous efforts will probably be completely in vain!
The emperor glanced at the ministers deeply, then turned his eyes and looked at the martial honors faintly, as if he asked inadvertently:
"What do you think?"
"Report to Your Majesty, I finally think that Lord Yang is too exaggerating!"
Sun Yuanhua immediately stood up, mercilessly pointing at Yang Sichang: "There are more than 128,600 infantry soldiers, more than 24,000 cavalry soldiers, and six artillery battalions, with more than 1,000 artillery guns in total!"
"In order to maintain the stability of disaster relief in Shaanxi, there were more than 93,000 troops transferred from Shanxi, Henan and other places to Shaanxi!"
"Now in Shaanxi, more than 200,000 troops have gathered, which is enough to intimidate any slut!"
"There are no need to disrupt this process at this time for disaster relief, including the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Revenue, the Daheng Engineering Academy and the Neighbors' Emblem Guard. They all perform their duties and operate stably. There is no need to disrupt this process at this time!"
"This is a bad statement!"
As soon as Sun Yuanhua finished speaking, the chief minister of the cabinet, Lai Zongdao, immediately stood up and fought against each other. Lai Zongdao's words immediately caused the martial arts to be unreliable, and another quarrel also rang in the hall.
"Enough!"
When the emperor shouted coldly, the quarrel that had just started suddenly came to an abrupt end.
"Your Majesty forgive me!"
Civil officials and military officials subconsciously bowed and shouted.
The emperor glanced coldly, then took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, and his fingers rang on the table one by one. Every knock made the ministers' hearts tremble. At this moment, no one dared to say more.
It took a long time before the emperor slowly opened his eyes:
"Tell me, what's going on in North Korea right now?"
As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials in the hall also subconsciously trembled. Several ministers of the ministry looked at each other, but they couldn't help but feel a bad premonition.
However, the martial honors had different expressions. With their eyes, they obviously understood what the emperor said.
"Report to Your Majesty, according to the report of the Governor of North Korea, all rebels in various parts of North Korea have been eliminated at the end of the third year of Zhaowu. At present, North Korea has become more stable and just wait for education..."
Sun Yuanhua organized his words cautiously.
"Transfer my will and order the Duke of the State to go to Shaanxi to serve as the governor of Shaanxi and coordinate the military affairs in Shaanxi!"
"He ordered Chen Xinjia, the Minister of Rites, to serve as the governor of North Korea..."
Speaking of this, the emperor glanced at He Renlong, a third-class military officer at the end of the martial annunciation in the hall: "He Renlong, you go to North Korea to serve as the general of North Korea!"
After saying that, the emperor stood up and left this quarrel and noisy place without waiting for the ministers to respond!
"I obey the order!"
The civil and military officials visited and shouted, and when the emperor walked away, everyone stood up one after another. Several cabinet ministers looked at each other, but their faces were all full of gloom. This time, it was a loss of rice if they could steal chickens!
Most of the martial arts honors were smiling!
Originally, these civil servants almost stole the family, but they were sent to a divine assist, reminding the emperor of the prince who was still hiding in the corner of Nagada, North Korea!
Who can understand the situation in Shaanxi better than the Duke Ding who had been in charge of Shaanxi for many years? Who is more suitable to be in charge of Shaanxi than Duke Ding?
"Greedy is not enough to swallow the elephant!"
When Wu Xun sneered, the Wu Xun burst into laughter and did not hide his sarcasm.
The civil officials also suddenly looked gloomy. Lai Zongdao snorted coldly, and the civil officials also left with their sleeves!
Chapter completed!
