Chapter eight hundred and forty second: Eight provinces forced the palace
Taiyuan, Shanxi Commander.
"Well, I heard that the emperor beat Qiao Futai eighty sticks as soon as he arrived in Shaanxi. Now even Cui Zhi, who has been a governor in Shaanxi for many years, has been stripped of his official uniform..."
After the commander-in-chief Yin Kuangang finished speaking, a commander from Shanxi said:
"Master Dusi, the way of heaven has changed, the real dragon has gone out of the ground and run away. We local snakes may not be able to survive."
"Nonsense, I don't know what you know?" Yin Kuan sarcastically and asked back, "Li Tongzhi, Brother Hong sent you here, what did you want me to do?"
"After all, the system of the Weishu is the foundation of the world. In order to correct the court's principles, our official has no choice but to do so."
Li Zheng bowed and smiled when he heard this:
"With Master Yin's words, I feel relieved. This is our letter to Master Yin from Li Dusi. I remember it will burn after reading it."
Yin Kuan nodded, and the more he looked, the more he looked, the more wrong his expression was.
"This... this is too extreme. Isn't it equivalent to joining the Tushi of the Thirteen Provinces to force the palace to give advice?"
It is normal for Yin Kuan to be afraid, after all, Shanxi is different from the Dusi in other provinces.
The commanders of the Dushi Division in Shaanxi, Huguang and other places have more or less real power, such as the Liaodong Dushi, Wanquan Dushi, Shaanxi Dushi, and even the Dushi Division.
The so-called True Dushi has greater power than the ordinary Dushi, and is mostly stored in border areas, and can also manage civil and military prisons in ward offices.
Normally, the number of troops in the garrison commander in the Shitu Dushi commander is greater than that in the ordinary Dushi like Shanxi Dushi.
Shanxi Dusi was originally a real Dusi, but it is now the only example of the Thirteenth General Secretary of the Two Capitals.
Because Shanxi is close to Jifu and is connected to the southern part of the desert, it has always been the pioneering station for various reform policies pilot work of Zhu Youxiao.
The reforms in response to the Five Army Governor's Office and the garrison office have been quite thorough in Shanxi after the previous incidents.
The Dusi of Shanxi has been completely undermined by the governor's office of the Taining Hou Chen Yanzuo. The commander Yin Kuan is just a famous puppet.
The one who truly possesses real power is the nobles who have been re-appointed by Emperor Aoki in recent years.
So how did Shanxi Dusi gradually change from a real-world Dusi that holds real power to this current military organization with a completely famous reputation?
In fact, after two pilot reforms of the garrison offices and the reforms of the garrison offices of the garrison offices of the 5th Army, all military camps under the Shanxi Dushi had been thoroughly investigated in the fifth year of Tianqi.
All the military camps of Shanxi Dushi and Shanxi Xingdushi were all included in the jurisdiction of the Later Army Governor's Office within the five years of the Tianqi period.
The rest of the military camps were forcibly recovered by the governor's office of the Later Army from the chaebols and powerful people by various means of redemption or conviction.
It can be said that Yin Kuan, the current commander, had neither any military farming acre, nor could he command the army of one guard and one station.
All the soldiers and horses in Shanxi in the imperial court were controlled by the governor's office of the Taining Hou Chen Yanzuo.
In addition, since Datong Town, one of the nine borders, is also in Shanxi, and the border army's absolute loyalty to the court is also the reason why Shanxi reforms so thoroughly.
The Datong Army in Shanxi was under the command of Zhang Wanbang, the deputy general of Shanxi, and was a famous strong army in the world. They were prepared to fight against the Western Barbarians and fought in Liaodong, and were even more loyal to the court.
A few years ago, Zhang Wanbang was promoted to the deputy general of Shanxi for his military achievements and had the right to govern the government troops in the entire Shanxi region. This is one of the reasons why the reform of the garrison station achieved twice the result with half the effort in Shanxi.
In short, Yin Kuan is not so easy to follow the Shaanxi Dusi to oppose the imperial court. It’s okay to quarrel, but he can’t do anything substantial.
Yin Kuan looked at the letter sent from Xi'an and did not make a sound for a long time. Then he slowly stood up, "Actually, if you want me to say it, it's no wonder Your Majesty."
The smile on Li Zheng's face disappeared immediately, "What did Master Yin say?"
Yin Kuan smiled and said, "In recent years, the court has had natural disasters inside and open barbarians outside. The officials in the court fought day by day, and the world is not peaceful! It almost endangered the country of the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, how could Your Majesty be so anxious?"
"Oh?" Li Zheng said: "When according to Commander Yin's wishes, check the military pay of the National Metropolitan Police Station, does Your Majesty still have unspeakable difficulties?"
Yin Kuan smiled and said, "Li Tongzhi's words are just a secret. I think this matter is not difficult to resolve, but it is absolutely impossible to join forces with the Thirteenth Capital Division to force the palace to give advice."
Li Zheng has understood it until now, and his face is full of sneer.
"What are the commanders who have any high opinions? All the humble positions are respected!"
Yin Kuan's smile on his face was very bright, "Brother Hong has been sitting in the Shaanxi Dusi position for so many years. Everyone knows what he has done and has not done anything."
"Your Majesty wants to investigate, so let go and let him investigate. If you find out any false charges, I will definitely give a memorial to the court."
"If you don't say anything, say goodbye!" Li Zheng heard that the other party had no intention of cooperating at all. In short, Yin Kuan was cowardly.
He turned around and walked a few steps, and saw that no one was trying to keep him, he turned around and said, "The commander should sit in his seat and see how long you can sit."
"I won't bother you to care about this." Yin Kuan was already smiling.
......
There were almost few civil servants and generals from the Dusiwei District of Shanxi who were willing to take advantage of this muddy water. The reason they knew in their hearts that the knife was in whose hands.
The reform of the garrison in Shanxi is coming to an end, and the emperor's prestige is already quite high in Shanxi. Anyone who serves in the army will not obey the orders of the court.
How big a mess can arise in such a place?
However, the Dusi in Huguang, Shandong, Shaanxi and Henan provinces are different, and the imperial court's reforms in these provinces are very limited.
Only Shandong and Shaanxi have undergone preliminary reforms in these four provinces, while Huguang and Henan have basically developed to the present as the historical situation.
Zhu Youxiao has neither intervened nor asked much since then.
The reason is naturally that Huguang and Yunnan are located in the hinterland, and the combat effectiveness of the government troops is the weakest in the five northern provinces, and it is far from the center of the imperial court.
Although Zhu Youxiao's personal prestige in the army was already quite high, after all, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, so the sense of belonging of the official army was not very good.
There is no need to reform first. Zhu Youxiao only symbolically exempted the three-money levies and the harsh taxes from these provinces.
The official troops in these places did not receive the benefits of renewal of armor and weapons, and some of the money was paid, but considering that most of them would be embezzled, they did not pay much.
In short, in the first eight years of Zhu Youxiao's rule, Huguang and Henan provinces had almost no sense of existence, and Shandong and Shaanxi were not as good as Shanxi and Jifu.
The method of Li Hong, the commander of the Shaanxi Metropolitan Commander, was to join forces with other commanders of the Dushi who opposed the imperial court to rectify the garrison.
The commanders of the other four northern provinces and the commanders of the four Jiangnan provinces were signed in this memorial.
The content in the memorial is very simple. The Wei Institute is the ancestral system set by Emperor Hongwu. It cannot be changed, and the civil servants and generals of the Wei Institute cannot be deprived of the rights of local officials and military generals.
If the court does not immediately stop investigating the military garrisons and military pay policies in previous years, the commander of the eight provincial capitals signed by the eight provincial capitals will resign collectively.
A large number of civil officials and local officials resigned together.
The news came out, which shocked the entire Ming Dynasty officialdom.
The collective resignation of so many local officials will obviously have a great impact on the entire imperial court's local rule.
This is the first time since Zhu Youxiao succeeded to the throne in the 47th year of Wanli that it has a policy that has been collectively boycotted by civil and military officials across the country.
This fluctuation is no less than a major earthquake in the officialdom. Even the White Lotus Sect in Shaanxi and the Restoration of Jiangnan have begun to go to the streets to publicize it, and there is a sign of a resurgence for a while.
