Needless to say, the court exploded as soon as these imperial edicts came out.
Can we not blow it up? As soon as military expenditures leave the Ministry of Household Affairs, 30% of them must be lost first. It has become a settled practice that civil servants distribute this money according to their official ranks.
Come and try it quickly. 】
Now, the problems of the Beijing Camp were exposed, and His Majesty abolished the Beijing Camp in anger. This is a military expenditure of 400,000 people. If you say no, there will be no more. This is a huge loss for civil servants.
Opposition memorials came like snowflakes.
Now the imperial court has no military expenditures for wars, and often relies on misappropriation of officials' salaries. Officials also have to make a living, so it is understandable that they have no military expenditures. Now His Majesty has abolished the Beijing camp. Naturally, this money will not be disbursed anymore. Civil servants have nowhere to make money.
Donglin has the Ning army in hand and can earn a large amount of military expenditures, but other factions are pointing to other military expenditures. Now, Donglin controls Guan Ningjun, the bulk of military expenditures. A new Qing army movement is about to be launched. The purpose is to verify the number of local troops, eliminate the number of vacant troops, and eliminate those without combat capability.
Of course, the real purpose is to attack the financial resources of these Donglin competitors. Without money, the Chu Party, Qi Party, Jin Party, etc. will not be able to continue to play. This is Donglin's use as a weapon in the party struggle to attack other factions. In order to achieve the goal of dominating the Chao Gang.
Officials from the Donglin group firmly supported the emperor's decision, believing that the Beijing camp, which was a waste of national funds, should have been dismantled long ago, and resources should be transferred to Liaodong to promote the success of the five-year plan to restore Liao.
Donglin believes that not only the Beijing camp must be abolished, but also the border troops in the nine-border towns must be abolished. Create a new province in Monan. Directly dispatch civil and military officials for management and immigration development.
Yuan Chonghuan also seized the opportunity and wrote to the emperor, requesting that the area east of the Luan River be established as a separate province, which could be called the Rehe Province, as the flank of the Guanningjin Defense Line in the Western Liaoning Corridor, and be unified under the command of the Governor of Jiliao. It is convenient to coordinate all aspects of resources to realize the five-year plan to restore Liaoning.
At this time, Yang Fan and Zhang Shize, who had set the fire, were dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, I just used my wits to get some available soldiers from the Beijing camp to attack Tumut and the Ordos people. Unexpectedly, it would cause such a big mess and chaos in all aspects.
Yang Fan and Zhang Shize simply pretended to be dead dogs and didn't come out. It's better to keep a low profile at this time.
They were just like normal people, hiding in the garden and fishing on the steps facing the water.
The fish you catch is grilled directly, and the aroma of grilled fish wafts out.
Lin Yueru and Xiao Niangpi also came to eat fish.
"Master, there's no way you can just hide like this. Your Majesty has made us suffer this time. The civil servants are probably going crazy." Tu Shanyue said while chewing the squid on the iron plate.
"What can I do? It's a fight between gods. We don't stay far away, but we move forward and show off. Isn't that stupid? We have to wait for their human brains to show off their dog brains. We have gone through enough trouble. It’s all gone, it’s not too late for us to go out again.”
Zhang Shize asked, "If you don't go to Nanyuan, there won't be any trouble."
"Humph, what kind of trouble is going on? With Zhou Yuji there, what kind of trouble can happen. If he can't even deal with these soldiers from the Beijing camp, he should just go home and pick up the child." Yang Fan curled his lips and said.
He is now a hands-off shopkeeper, doing nothing at home and doing nothing.
Yang Fan suddenly remembered something. He had been in Ming Dynasty for two years, and he still hadn't figured out what the situation of Ming Dynasty's nobles was like.
Mr. Zhang happens to be here, so asking him is definitely better than asking anyone else. He must know everything.
"Tell me what's going on with the nobles of the Ming Dynasty now." Yang Fan poked Zhang Shize with his elbow, who was stuffing a lot of food into his mouth.
Was this guy born to a starving ghost? He can eat so much. He can eat as much as three Yang Fans alone.
"Give me another bottle of that beer. This thing is perfect for barbecue." Zhang Shize said with a slur in his mouth.
"Here you go, hurry up," Yang Fan urged as he put a bottle of beer on the table.
Zhang Shize knocked off the bottle cap with his teeth, then pressed his mouth against the bottle's mouth, drinking the entire glass bottle of beer in one breath.
Yang Fan was shocked when he saw it.
Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru were also shocked, this guy is really good.
When they drank beer, they poured it into cups and drank it in small sips. Zhang Shize drank one bottle in one breath. This drinking speed is also acceptable.
Zhang Shize burped and let out a sigh of satisfaction.
He grabbed the towel brought by the maid and wiped his mouth and hands. Said: "The life at your house is really comfortable. In this cold weather, the towels are steamed and brought up. You really enjoy it."
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and tell me what your situation is now." Yang Fan urged.
"The honors of the Ming Dynasty are actually not that many. To be honest, they are not many. They are much less than those of the Han, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties." Zhang Shize said seriously.
Yang Fan nodded, he still knew something about this situation. Zhu Yuanzhang was relatively stingy and easily refused to grant titles. Later, he found trouble and removed many of his titles. Unlike the Han Dynasty, the emperor relied on his mother's clan, and as soon as he ascended the throne, he made all his uncles feudal lords.
Zhang Shize quickly put down the bowl and said: "When the founding of the People's Republic of China, among the first batch of nobles granted, six were granted the title of Duke, twenty-eight were granted the title of Marquis, and two were granted the title of Earl. Among these thirty-six people. Only three people passed it down to the Chongzhen Dynasty from generation to generation."
Although Yang Fan knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was ruthless in dealing with heroes, he was still shocked when he heard the news.
Yang Fan asked: "Which three families have inherited the founding honors to this day?"
"There are only three noble families in Huaixi, Xu Da, Mu Ying, and Guo Ying, who have always inherited it to the end. The eldest family of the Xu family is hereditary to the founder of Wei Guogong, and he has lived in Dagongfang, Nanjing. The third family is hereditary and the Duke of Ding has lived in Beijing. Of these three families, the oldest The most outstanding one is the Xu Da family, which not only has the longest history, but also has two dukes in one family, which is unique in the Ming Dynasty."
"The Guo family is the Marquis of Wuding. Guo Ying's Yingguogong was posthumously gifted. The title passed down from his family is the Marquis of Wuding. The ninth generation is called Guo Yingqi, who ascended the title in February of the forty-fifth year of Wanli (1617). The tenth generation is the Marquis of Wuding. His name was Guo Peimin, and he ascended the throne in the first year of Chongzhen (1628). The current Marquis of Wuding is this dear friend."
Yang Fan nodded. He knew Duke Dingguo and the Mu family, but he was not familiar with the Guo family. Only after listening to Zhang Shize's explanation did he know the situation.
"The situation of the Mu family is quite complicated and cannot be explained in a sentence or two." Zhang Shize took a sip of tea and continued.
Mu family, isn't it Prince Mu's palace? The little princess is Wei Xiaobao's wife. Yang Fan's knowledge about the Mu family came from here.
"Although Mu Ying's family has been in Yunnan for a long time, their title is Duke of Guizhou. Mu Ying's original title was Marquis of Xiping. After Mu Ying's death, his eldest son Mu Chun inherited the title of Marquis of Xiping and guarded Yunnan."
"After Muchun died without any children, his younger brother Mu Cheng inherited the title of Marquis of Xiping and guarded Yunnan."
"In the early years of Yongle, Mu Cheng was ordered to team up with Zhang Fu, my ninth-generation ancestor, to lead separate armies to attack Jiaozhi. When Jiaozhi was leveled, Zhang Fu was granted the title of Duke of England, and Mu Cheng was granted the title of Duke of Guizhou. From then on, the Mu family became a hereditary duke. ." Zhang Shize said proudly while picking his teeth with a toothpick.
It turns out that the Zhang family and the Mu family became dukes at the same time. The two families still have this connection.
