He ran to find Zhu Fang and the others, hoping that they could help him go to the Ningjin Defense Line outside Shanhaiguan to replace Guan Ningjun's position.
So that he could transfer people to Shanxi and Jiangnan, he was ready. He selected young and strong men from the previous imperial army and sent them to Jiangnan to directly kill all the wealthy official businessmen in Jiangnan.
The guest troops who were conquered by him went directly to Xuanda and replaced all Xuanda's troops. They took advantage of the opportunity of Huang Taiji to go south to pick up food and killed him and the eight emperor merchants. Even if they couldn't be killed, they would still be killed. Crippling them will prevent them from going south in the next few years, so that they can have a chance to rebuild their country.
Originally, the three kings were not going to agree to him. In their opinion, if the three kings of Sai came out together, the world would be at peace at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Even if any one of them came out, no one in the world could compare with their army. of.
However, the three of them were persuaded by Zhu Biao. He told the three kings of Sai that they were just weighing the scales and not the ones making the decisions regarding matters here. Their role was to allow Zhu Youjian to do whatever he wanted without any scruples. , Besides, if you don’t train Zhu Youjian, can you help him conquer the world? Can you still help him rule the world?
After all, Zhu Youjian is the master of this world, he is the master of this Ming Dynasty, not the three kings, so the three kings can only play support from time to time, and can never directly confront the opponent.
Otherwise, how will Zhu Youjian grow up, and what will he do if he meets other Ming emperors in the future? These are all things that need to be considered.
In the end, the three of them agreed to Zhu Youjian's request and took their troops to the Shanhaiguan and Ningjin defense lines. When they left, the three of them were accompanied by Wang Chengen. Wang Chengen followed the three kings with the imperial edict in his hand. He was there to declare the edict. , Zhu Youjian decided to completely abolish the general's servants. This started with Guan Ningjun. He also followed Zhu Yuanzhang and read the history books. He found that although the Guan Ningjun in the history books was different from his Guan Ningjun .
But the two sides have the same idea of harming friendly troops and demanding food and wages.
This made him angry. He felt that it was useless for such an army to come. It would only increase the financial burden on the country. Apart from that, it was of no use at all.
"If Guan Ning's army had been effective, Hou Jin would have been beaten to death and disabled long ago. To put it bluntly, Hou Jin was a bandit raised by their general in Liaodong. They were used to intimidate the imperial court. They wanted to raise bandits to respect themselves. Moreover, these people When raising bandits, there was no bottom line, and Hou Jin's soldiers and horses were kept coming in and out of the border. In this regard, they were not as good as Li Chengliang. Although Li Chengliang was as self-respecting in raising bandits, he could always use military merits. In this way Everyone can get by in terms of face, but the current Liaodong generals can’t even achieve the most basic military merit, and the watchdogs who can’t even guard the gates should die.”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Youjian and said: "Since the Northern Song Dynasty began to use culture to suppress military force, soldiers have learned a skill without any teachers, which is to raise the bandits to respect themselves. Those thieves and bandits have also learned a skill, which is to kill people and set fires. Waiting for recruitment, to put it bluntly, this is all the fault of the Northern Song Dynasty. You must not learn from it. Our Ming Dynasty walks on two feet, civil and military must go hand in hand. It probably won’t take long for you to rebuild the world this time. The key is you After Zhong Tianxia had no one in hand, I specially found a lot of civil servants for this purpose. They were all members of famous ministers. I spent a lot of money to get them from the Northern Song Dynasty. Those people may have some abilities. Deficient, but in terms of ethics, they are definitely better than the civil servants here. The ancestors can only help you so far. You still have to deal with the problems in your world by yourself. We only hope that within two or three years, you will be able to help you. If you can reorganize the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty and then become the master of this world, you are truly qualified to sit side by side with us."
Zhu Yuanzhang worked hard for Zhu Youjian. In order to understand the chaotic times in the late Ming Dynasty, he also consulted many big names in Ming history. From those people, he learned that the chaos in the late Ming Dynasty was really not something that ordinary people could handle. , at least not Zhu Youjian. This kid has no brains and is played around by others. Even his own father-in-law looks down on him. He is a waste.
As an emperor, when he needed money, he actually asked people to donate money. I don't know how he came up with such a stupid idea.
How can you be an emperor if you don't even know the temperaments of your own family's civil and military officials? Being an emperor is not just about being diligent and caring for the people. Being diligent and loving the people cannot make you a good emperor.
Emperor Hui of Jin also loved the people. Although he was laughed at for thousands of years for not eating minced meat, it is undeniable that he could say this, which meant that he still cared about the people. It was just that his brain was not working well. If you don't know what's going on among the people, that's nothing to laugh at. It's better than those who don't care about the lives and deaths of the people.
Originally, he planned to let Zhu Biao take Zhu Youjian with him. Anyway, their Ming Dynasty world was already on the right track. The cabinet and the East-West Factory were also set up. Everything was started according to Zhu Biao's idea. Now The Ming Dynasty looks much better than that of Zhu Yuanzhang. At least the officials at the bottom worked hard when they worked, instead of just hanging around like Zhu Yuanzhang did at that time.
When Zhu Biao was discussing this issue with Zhu Yuanzhang, he moved his mouth, but said nothing.
He had his own views on the administration of officials. In fact, he did nothing but paid the salaries of those officials and then dispersed all the rights of officials at all levels. To put it bluntly, he was the kind of person in ancient times who The way of governing a county has become a group of people governing a county.
He also turned all the officials into high-level officials, gave them channels for promotion, and divided them according to modern methods. In this way, all the officials were grateful, and each of them did a lot of work. You must be careful, and the professional level and ability of these people are above those of the imperial examination officials. Zhu Biao's promotion of these people is relatively fair. In this way, the current imperial power of the Ming Dynasty is directly frightened by these people to the township level. During this period, they were still thinking about sinking to the village level. This made the world in the Northern Song Dynasty eager to see this. Their world power was not sinking so fast.
The reason is not for anything else, but because of the population problem. When Hongwu founded the Ming Dynasty, the country's population was nearly 60 million, which was higher than the peak period of the Song Dynasty.
In addition, the food problem has been solved in the past few years, and the proportion of unemployed people has also increased. The Ming Dynasty has not expanded outward much. It has been expanding its territory step by step and steadily, and there has been no local expansion like the Northern Song Dynasty. Due to the population crisis, the ability to rule has plummeted. Most places have been divided and become fiefdoms for various families. However, each place is directly under the central government, and the overseas fiefdoms of the vassal kings are also appointed by the central government.
