In terms of military affairs, Xizong was much smarter than Yuan Chonghuan, because the emperor knew that the current treasury was simply unable to support the military's large-scale defense in the Liaodong area, and could only use limited money to defend limited areas.
Blindly following the strategy of Teacher Sun and Governor Yuan will only result in the financial collapse of the empire. Before the pigtails can attack, the Ming Dynasty will have to change its destiny.
Twenty-year-old Xizong has the mental capacity of a scheming boss. Twenty-year-old Sizong has the mental capacity of a college student who has just entered the workplace. After working for only a few days, he was completely hacked by the old employees around him!
If the emperor can't trust anyone, doesn't know his own weight, takes care of every detail, and wants to work twenty-five hours a day, and is extremely busy, and will be scolded by the whole country, not many people will accept the emperor's favor. Treating him as a fool to fool him will end up causing the empire to decline. This is a ready-made example...
The scapegoat was not completely self-willed and did not rely on others. For example, soon after he inherited the throne, he showed amazing courage and courage and gave Governor Yuan unprecedented trust and supreme power. Then he was severely beaten by his own ministers. set up a row.
Not only did he kill Mao Wenlong directly and make Liaodong's situation more passive, he also tried to use the capital and the emperor as bait. When the Qing army marched south in a large scale, he still wanted to strike first.
When the situation took a turn for the worse and he had to fight, he led Guan Ningjun to confront the braids. This scheming was so beautiful.
Liaodong military expenditure accounted for more than half of the Ming Dynasty's fiscal expenditure. Note, it is not more than half of the military expenditure, but more than half of the entire fiscal expenditure!
It's like half of the empire is supporting tens of thousands of Guan Ning's troops, and then the enemy comes to the city, but you openly play a preemptive strike under the emperor's nose?
Of course, here, the blame dumper and Governor Yuan had different understandings of the original requests made by both parties.
The scapegoat’s understanding is that I will give you four to five million taels of silver every year, and you will be responsible for fixing the braids for me. If you can’t fix the braids, I will fix it for you!
Governor Yuan’s understanding is that I am only responsible for the security of Guanning’s defense line. I am beyond my reach in other defense directions. If the braid goes south in a detour, please forgive me for being late in coming to rescue...
The general process is that the chairman spent a lot of money on the Liaodong project, but in exchange for it, the general manager was trapped for three years, and the deputy general manager was also killed!
Just looking at the respective understandings of the monarch and his ministers, it is barely correct, but in comparison, it is obvious that what Governor Yuan did was completely wrong.
Your army's salary accounts for more than half of the empire's financial expenditure. How much combat effectiveness can you expect from your friendly forces? Will their military pay be shipped from Mars?
When the braids were approaching the city, why not let Guan Ning's army enter the city?
Because the emperor saw the consequences of the so-called "Five Years of Ping Liao", he no longer trusted Governor Yuan in his heart.
He and the elite troops under his command were almost a slap in the face to the emperor!
Such an elite division actually hunkered down in the city in Liaodong, and was as frightened by the braids as the third grandson.
When almost all the troops of the Later Jin Dynasty were dispatched and approaching the capital, they still cowered and did not dare to carry out strategic containment.
For the scapegoat who is full of ardent expectations, there is only one sentence - there is no greater sadness than heartbreak!
Governor Yuan was a smart man, so when he first took office, he decided to transform Guan Ning's army into a warlord.
He saw through the nature of Guan Ningjun and mastered the characteristics of the army, so he followed his lead and those who were disobedient were squeezed out.
When this strategy was successfully implemented, Governor Yuan suddenly became the spokesperson of Guan Ningjun, earning both fame and fortune.
There is nothing wrong if he can keep playing like this. The problem is that soon, this smart man will mess up the pot...
The biggest difference between smart people and fools is not the level of IQ, but that when smart people make mistakes, it is often fatal to themselves!
Since he told a big lie about "five years of Ping Liao" at the beginning, he will have to use a hundred lies to smooth things over. If he can't smooth it out, the secret will be exposed.
The post-Jin army's arrogant invasion of Guan and looting highlighted a big problem. Except for blocking Nurha Chicken Wings' attack on Ningyuan in the early stage, the governor did nothing in the later stage and just squatted on the Guan-Ning defense line. "Dead fat house".
As long as the Hou Jin army does not take the initiative to attack the city, then they will suffer zero losses. After figuring out Governor Yuan's shrinking strategy, they can move south without worries, find weak links, break through at one point, and then collapse the entire Ming army.
When every official and common people in the Jifu area saw the ferocious faces of the braids, a question would arise in their hearts, but no one knew what their Governor Yuan was doing in Liaodong, because there was only one truth!
After experiencing an extremely painful lesson, after that, the blame-shifting father had lingering fears and rarely made any appointments, until he promoted Yang Sichang, who was all over the place, an even more deceptive person...
The pot dumper has a sad story, and he also has a crooked-necked tree. He can KO himself without anyone else serving him wine!
Yao Ji is embarrassed to identify himself as to what kind of wise king the prince is, but the perceptive First Assistant must know it well.
Foolish king?
Feel sorry! nonexistent!
It is impossible to be a faint king in this life. The subjective conditions of my talent do not allow it~!
Besides, my biological mother is beautiful and noble, my aunt is charming and enchanting, and my maid has a big butt. How can I be willing to destroy my country and my family?
There are hundreds of pretty little lolita, waiting for me to play extremely dynamic and exciting nurturing games with them!
"Now that this matter has been resolved, we can discuss the second matter, the sanitation issue in the capital. This sanitation is how to deal with the filth created by the people."
To put it bluntly, this matter is more difficult to deal with than the previous one. Those people are just noble people. They can confiscate their homes and imprison them. There are nearly a million people in the capital. It is extremely troublesome to manage. Just thinking about it makes it impossible to do anything.
Jinyiwei is actually responsible for city appearance, and this is one of their daily tasks. But there is no designated garbage dumping place in the city at all. It would be good if the people open the door and don't splash excrement all over them.
Along with Jinyiwei, the agency responsible for the sanitation of the capital is the Wucheng Military and Horse Division. However, it is neither competent nor appropriate for these two departments to clean up garbage.
In the fourth year of Chenghua, Xianzong issued an order to arrest the heads of these two families as well as the censors who patrolled the city. The reason was that the streets were clogged with filth!
It is estimated that Rexiang has spread all over the streets and alleys, and the smell has wafted into the imperial city, so much so that even the emperor couldn't bear it anymore, so he sent a large number of royal guards to clear the ditches, and the cleaning was the job of the cleaners.
In the twelfth year of Hongzhi, Xiaozong suddenly planned to set up a special cleaning force composed of Jinyiwei. Fortunately, the officials successfully stopped it on the grounds that the transfer of Jinyiwei would reduce the detection ability. Otherwise, these guys would be the best-paid cleaners in history. .
Even if we have no clue for the time being, we must start comprehensive renovations now, otherwise when the weather gets hot, the huge capital city will turn into a giant methane pit, and it will not stop until some lives are lost.
The plague that ravaged the Jifu area a few years later also came from this, causing nearly half of the population to die. This gave Courier Brother Li a huge advantage, so he had to take precautions in advance.
The "biological and chemical weapons" he made killed himself. This weird thing really made a certain prince dumbfounded.
The consequences of eating and drinking without paying attention to hygiene and epidemic prevention are so tragic.
The 20,000 taels of silver tribute from the four major dung valves arrived last night, and these guys worked hard to get the tax-free treatment.
In addition to cleaning up the existing garbage on the first-class streets, each household has to build 16 new public toilets within a month, which is really expensive.
But compared to the 30% tax exemption, it was completely affordable for them to pay for the errands appointed by the prince themselves.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to bear it. There are only two options at the moment, either get out of the Ming Dynasty or eat the whole family...
After Yaoji finished speaking, he sat and waited for a long time, but no one answered him. He was convinced by these bully ministers.
When it came to serious matters, they were all mute, and their heads drooped, for fear that they would find work for themselves and then take the blame for the prince for free.
The prince threw the pot away, and everyone was mentally calculating the pros and cons. The cabinet believed that the matter should be resolved by the Ministry of Industry, but the Ministry of Industry believed that it had nothing to do with it. Besides, Liu Zunxian, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, had been dismissed yesterday, so Yingtianfu must be fully responsible, and Yingtianfu will take full responsibility. Thinking that as usual, it would be better for the Jin Yiwei and the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division to come forward...
This is the meeting where we have a big fight. When we discuss how to remove feces, we can discuss it in silence, which makes Yaoji hold his little shoulders and keep snorting.
Xue Guoguan would not give advice to the prince at this juncture. Before he thought about how to give a proper explanation, he still thought it was better to stay quiet to avoid being asked by the prince who was like a brat. It's hard work.
Besides, the prince had torn the Ministry of Industry into pieces. Liu Zunxian, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was appointed to the official position, Li Juesi, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, was deposed. Zhang Guowei, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry and the censor of the right capital, Zhang Guowei, was busy drawing the design drawings of many new cities in Shandong.
The three leading officials are like this, how can you expect the people below to comply with the imperial edict?
This is true not only of the Ministry of Industry, but also of the entire Six Ministries, the Kadu Procuratorate and the Dali Temple.
According to the prince's established requirements, these eight departments should have 22 officials of third rank or above to go to court. In less than three days, two were cut off by a certain prince, eight were promoted to official positions, and one was about to be sent to Shandong for mining.
This time, no one had a head-on confrontation with the prince, because all the ministers who dared to disobey the holy will were dismissed, and the court was almost paralyzed by the prince.
As forty noble families were demoted to common people, and half of the ministers of third rank and above were reorganized, the originally crowded hall suddenly seemed empty, and the original owners of the vacant seats were all "snapped" out, with different specific reasons.
Yao Ji is quite satisfied with his "masterpiece". At least he has supervised the country for three days and did not take action against the old Zhu family's number one enemy, the "Minister of the Ministry of War". However, at this speed, the cleanup is probably fast...
If this matter is announced, some people will probably call me a little exposure king who kills people without blinking an eye. Counting Marquis Yangwu, only three officials of the third rank and above have killed three people. There is still a long way to go to kill people. I still have to kill three people. It takes more effort.
As courtiers, everyone also has difficulties. If he disagrees with the prince, he will be rewarded with a big bowl of fried locusts. Eat it, if your body can't bear it, don't eat it, that would be disobedience. If both sides are offended, it would be better not to say anything at all.
After going to court for two consecutive days, no matter how stupid the minister was, he realized that the prince was a heroic boy. Every time he said something, he would have ten sentences waiting for you, and he would also poke at your sore spots.
Even if you curse loudly, you may not be able to outdo others. The former right censor Shang Zhou Zuo is the most typical example. No one is planning to follow his footsteps so soon. At least the free lunch is still delicious.
Corrupt officials will have their homes confiscated, and the stolen goods will be calculated on their cars. Even if you want to deny it, you won't find an excuse. An upright official will be promoted to official position, and the little ink in his belly can be saved for writing books later, but he will not need it for his official career anyway.
If you still want to stay in the capital and serve as an official, the first thing you need to do is to control your mouth. During the period when the prince was supervising the country, it was no joke to have trouble come from his mouth. The whole family might be sent to Shandong to mine. , that’s putting it lightly.
"No one said anything? Then I will tell you!"
This is really "the hall here is quiet", I was put out by the fire, but this is good, I really don't have to listen to them talking a lot of nonsense that has no nutritional value.
Aren't you keeping an eye out and waiting for me to finally say something about the annual salary? Then just wait, I will give a major speech on how to improve the sanitation and environment issues in the capital. I will only give a few simple sentences, which will last about three or four hours...
If you can hold it in, you can hold it in. If you can't, I won't allow you to urinate in the main hall.
The most terrifying problem faced by people who traveled back in time was not the lack of high-tech products, but the extremely low level of medical and health care.
Falling into the water can easily lead to pneumonia, and cutting a hole and drinking alcohol can lead to infection. Anti-inflammatory drugs do not exist. If you get a serious disease, you can only use traditional Chinese medicine to recover slowly. The onset of effect of the medicine is much slower than that of Western medicine. You have to use your own immune system first. The body can withstand the first wave of complications, and then the medicine can take effect. If you can't hold it, you're dead!
The brick-and-slab toilets that were criticized by later generations were not popular in the Ming Dynasty. Even in the capital, the excretion tool for many people's families was nothing more than a excrement bucket. Not only that, the dumping, transportation, and disposal of feces are all headaches for the people and the court, and they are refreshed every day, making it impossible to avoid them.
"When I left the palace yesterday, I also saw the general situation along the way in the golden chariot. I will not go into the specific details here, so as not to make everyone sick. To put it simply, use three words to describe it: 'dirty' , Chaos, Chaos'! Who could have imagined that the capital of the Ming Dynasty would be so unsightly under the emperor's feet. Sewage flowed everywhere, mosquitoes lingered, filth piled up like mountains, and the sour smell filled the sky, causing passers-by to hide their faces and run. I am very confused about this. Is it possible that the Ming Dynasty cannot even clean up the filth in the capital? Can any beloved minister explain to me who should handle this matter?"
I will not bear this responsibility. Whoever wants to carry it will bear it, and it must be carried, because I went to Yang Shicong's house yesterday and it was really disgusting to me.
