But Liu Haojia seemed not to have heard Zhang Siwei's words, and said directly to Zhang Juzheng: "Master Chief Assistant, I have a statistical document here, which is the history of the battles against bandits this year! After repeated investigations by Jin Yiwei, something was discovered The thing is, in any anti-bandit battle involving civilian officials, the casualty rate of officers and soldiers is much higher than that in battles commanded by military attachés! At the very least, more than 20% more manpower and supplies were lost!"
After speaking, Liu Haojia took out a document from his arms and handed it to Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng took it and read it quickly. As he was flipping through the pages, Liu Haojia explained: "Those civil servants who think they know the soldiers are actually nonsense! The only thing they know how to do is to force the soldiers to rush forward and fight regardless, without knowing whether there are traps ahead or how to arrange their troops. Formation? In their view, these soldiers are no different from animals. They can be recruited after they die! All they want is the credit for suppressing bandits and the reputation of being a good soldier, so that they can be promoted and rich and brag to the world! They don't care at all. All these achievements are due to human lives!" ap..
Liu Haojia's words made many people blush! Because among the military attachés present there are many who are known as knowledgeable soldiers! And what they did was force the soldiers to rush! As for things like troop formations, they don't need them at all!
At the same time, many lower officials kneeling on the ground let out low cheers! Because they didn't give strong support to Liu Haojia just now, they have to show it now no matter what!
At this time, Liu Haojia continued: "Master Chief Assistant, you can see that the names of several civil servants have been specially marked! These civil servants knew that they did not know how to fight at all, so they only did two things. One was to do a good job in logistics. Work, and the other is to do a good job of supervising the war! Therefore, the casualties in the bandit suppression operations commanded by these military attaches were quite low, and even the seizures were more than others!"
Zhang Juzheng followed Liu Haojia's instructions and found the records of those officials. After reading it carefully, he found that it was indeed the case, and couldn't help but nodded slightly!
This is when Liu Haojia said again: "But Lord Chief Assistant, there is something even more interesting! That is, there are several officials' names at the end, and the subordinates still made special marks! In fact, they were the ones who suffered the most casualties in the entire battle. The least! But this is not because they are wise and powerful, but because they are extremely stupid and timid. They dare not even leave the city and leave everything to the military attachés, so they have such good results! "
Speaking of this, Liu Haojia smiled and said: "Master Chief Assistant, the ancients have known for a long time that there is a specialization in martial arts! Therefore, military attachés govern the country, which is beyond the reach of military attaches! But marching and fighting with civilian officials is completely unreasonable! Of course, there is no lack of it. There are talented people with both civil and military talents, but there are too few such people, and most of them are good at a certain aspect! So I want to ask one thing here, that is, the government should be run by civilian officials, and the military attache should be responsible for marching and fighting. No one should point fingers at each other!"
Hearing what Liu Haojia said, the noble party started to make loud noises again! They all said, "Civil officials don't know how to fight at all, but they insist on showing off. In the end, they will only take human lives in exchange for credit!"
"These civil servants will only drive soldiers to die in vain for the sake of promotion and wealth! Those soldiers also have parents and families!"
Although they made a lot of noise, the civil servants didn't answer, and everyone was kneeling on the ground and didn't have the energy to argue, so they just yelled a few words and it was over!
At this time, Zhang Juzheng finished reading the book in his hand and returned it to Liu Haojia and said, "I know these things and will consider them later! I just don't know what else you want!"
When Liu Haojia heard Zhang Juzheng ask this, he knew that he was already a little impatient! If I make any demands again, I'm afraid I'll be counterattacked! Moreover, he only had so many requests, and he didn't want to be fat at once, so he shook his head and said, "I have nothing to say!"
Zhang Juzheng heard this and said: "Wu Ninghou, you should know one thing, that is, governing a big country is like cooking small dishes, which cannot be easily stirred! So I will implement your requests one by one, but it is impossible to get results immediately! This point I hope you can understand!"
Liu Haojia nodded and said: "Of course the official can understand this! But the chief assistant should also understand that these requests made by the official are not selfish, they are all for the Ming Dynasty, so I want to
Mr. Shofu wouldn't delay it intentionally, would he? "
Zhang Juzheng said proudly: "That's natural! I naturally keep what I say!"
Liu Haojia nodded to express his understanding, then turned back to the officials in the hall and said, "Everyone, there is a pair of royal guards outside the palace. Some people from the Sixth Division want to go with them!"
His words caused another commotion among the officials! Everyone stood up and looked at Liu Haojia regardless of etiquette to see if he was crazy! Then he turned his attention to Zhang Juzheng, probably hoping that Zhang Juzheng could come forward to adjust it!
But Liu Haojia did not give Zhang Juzheng this chance, but said directly: "I know what you are thinking! But don't worry, I will not take action on the main figures of the Six Departments! Although you are very likely to be corrupt officials. The instigator behind the scenes! But for the sake of this country, I will let you go, so you'd better save some dignity for yourselves and follow the officials who are named honestly, otherwise you won't blame me for being rude!"
Finally, Liu Haojia pointed to a pile of boxes on the ground and said loudly: "Is Shen Shangshu from the Ministry of Personnel here? You can arrange for someone to take these things back. Look at the good officials your Ministry of Personnel has selected! I really don't know how you do things. !".
Shen Li, the Minister of Personnel, was naturally mixed in among the officials, but his face turned red when Liu Haojia said this, and he had no courage to say anything! Because the trap brought out by the officials this time is really too big! The officials they assigned to various places can basically be said to be corrupt! If Emperor Wanli pursues the case, demoting him to a civilian position would probably be the lightest punishment!
At this moment, I suddenly heard a eunuch shouting: "Retreat!"
Everyone hurriedly looked up, but only saw the back of Emperor Wanli before he disappeared! It turned out that he had already got off the throne and walked to the harem while Liu Haojia and Zhang Juzheng were bargaining!
But it's hard to tell whether Emperor Wanli was in a good or bad mood at this time. He was happy that this time he finally gave the civil servants a severe blow, especially Zhang Juzheng, who would relax his shackles a lot! But he didn't even have a hand in the whole process, which made him feel useless! So I don’t know what it’s like to have two emotions intertwined together!
