Zhu Qiyu is somewhat obsessive-compulsive and likes to make the military organization neat and concise.
The military establishment of the Ming Dynasty was always in a mess. For example, the number of Jinyiwei once expanded to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. The top leader of the Jin Yiwei may be the Left Governor, the Right Governor, the Commander-in-Chief, the Commander-in-Chief, the Commander-in-Chief, or the Commander-in-Chief.
When it comes to Zhu Qiyu's own pro-army, it's completely different. A carrot and a pit, each level of position has strict standards.
After the addition of three major Xingdusi, Fengtian Dusi became a structure with one capital commander and eight capital commanders.
One commanded the envoys, and the two commanded and shared the knowledge and control of the governors;
The three commanders were in charge of Tiance Guard, Yingzhou Guard and Duoyan Guard respectively;
The remaining three commanders and magistrates were in charge of Daning Xingdu Division, Shuntian Xingdu Division, and Baoding Xingdu Division respectively.
Five eunuchs, the Royal Horse Supervisors, were in charge of the military talismans and were supervising from the side.
In this way, there will be mutual checks and balances and mutual supervision, so that no one can think of being dominant.
The generals present were also very satisfied with this arrangement, because the emperor suddenly created three more positions for commanding colleagues, which meant that everyone could be promoted again.
Next, Zhu Qiyu told his generals about the specific distribution of responsibilities. Some were sent to Shanxi to quell the civil uprising, and some were assigned to Guangdong and Guangxi to participate in the battle to regain Annan.
After finally finishing speaking, after leaving Fengtian Dusi, Zhu Qiyu took Lin Xiangyu to visit the Lumi Cang and Feng Yin Cang west of Wuding Marquis.
The recent raids on homes have been so severe that the two warehouses were packed to the brim.
Looking at the mountains of white grain, Lin Xiangyu sighed with annoyance: "The slave family is really worthless for my husband. In the first year of Jingtai, you increased the salary of all officials by 20%, and this year it was increased by 20%.
In the past, if an official had an annual salary of 100 shi, he could only receive 60 shi at most, and the remaining 40 shi had to be folded into paper-like banknotes.
Now, an official who originally had an annual salary of 100 dan can now receive 140 dan. Their salaries have actually increased more than twice, and will continue to increase next year.
Not to mention this, my husband also divided the white grain that originally belonged to the inner court and divided it into 100,000 shi, which was used to pay salaries to the civil and military ministers, nobles, and royal family members in Beijing.
The five prefectures in Suzhou and Changzhou only turned in a total of 150,000 shi of grain every year, and most of it was given to them.
In this way, the civil and military officials were still talking about their orthodox emperor all day long. Their Xuanmiao Emperor and the orthodox emperor were both good in every way, except that their husbands were sorry for them. "
Zhu Qiyu hugged the beauty and smiled nonchalantly: "Forget it, there is no need to be angry with them. Their hearts are cold and hard, not warm.
I just do what I think I should do without any guilt, and I don’t expect them to thank me.
Forget about these civil and military officials involved in political struggles, just talk about the people of Ming Dynasty. I have endured huge financial pressure in order to implement the three-year rotating tax exemption plan. Will they thank me? Nor will it.
This emperor, let's act recklessly. When the water is extremely clear, there are no fish; when people observe it, there are no disciples. Everything is too clear to live, and it will definitely make people sick.
Fortunately, there has been enough trouble this year, and there is nothing else to do in the remaining months except running Shandong. Let's go, pack your things and go back to our Lingyu Palace to play with women. "
The Wuding Marquis Mansion's neighbor to the east is Fengtian Dusi, and its neighbor to the west is Lumicang. Zhu Qiyu returned to Wudinghou Mansion, took his two concubines with him, got on the chariot, and first came to his old prince's mansion.
The two beloved concubines looked at the old prince's palace and shook their heads. Ningxiang asked: "Husband, you see that the surrounding areas of our old prince Qi's palace are burned to ashes. Do you want to rebuild it or use it for other purposes?"
Zhu Qiyu laughed when he heard this and said: "My idea is to divide the rest into two parts, excluding the garden of Lao Qi Prince's Mansion. The east side will be converted into Jingtai Literature Hall, and the west side will be converted into Jingtai Martial Arts School.
The Lao Qi Palace Garden merged with the Lao Han Palace in the north and was changed into the Han Emperor Temple and Jingtai Garden for people in the capital to worship and visit.
To the west of the Old Han Palace is the Tiance Guard Camp, and across a street to the west is the Waidong Factory. Further west, across the palace wall of the Forbidden City, is the Royal Horse Prison.
There are 10,000 troops stationed in this Tiancewei camp, and there is another mutiny in the province. If Emperor Gongrang makes trouble again, our troops will reach Nangong in half an hour. "
Ningxiang asked again: "Then if Emperor Gongyi makes trouble again, he should be killed, right? Be sued to the ancestors and beheaded in the Ancestral Temple?"
Zhu Qiyu patted his beloved concubine on the little head: "What are you thinking about, you little idiot? You brazenly executed the emperor in public. That was what the Sima family did.
If Emperor Gongrang causes trouble again, I will depose him as a prince and let him go to Nanjing to guard the Xiaoling Mausoleum of Taizu.
Then when the heat is almost done, cut it into pieces.
It just so happens that the mausoleum he built cost more than six million taels and was left for our children and grandchildren to use. In this way, one less imperial mausoleum can be built and six million taels of wasted money can be saved for the people.
With this money, it will be enough to provide tax exemptions to the remaining provinces next year. "
Hearing this, Lin Xiangyu teased: "My husband wants to save money for the people, but he is obsessed with it."
Ningxiang asked curiously: "Husband, what is a secret minister? How can I secretly abdicate to the emperor?"
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Secret execution is a secret execution. First, Emperor Gongrang was reduced to a prince and imprisoned in Xiaoling. When the time is right, when I go on a tour to the south, I go to Xiaoling and close the door. In front of Taizu, Emperor Gongrang's crimes were listed and he made a verdict.
Then for the first six months and eight months, let the eunuch strangle him to death and that's it. "
Lin Xiangyu smiled and said, "My husband is in trouble again. Which eunuch would do such dirty work for you?"
Zhu Qiyu smiled nonchalantly and said: "Yuan Cheng, who else can it be? He refuses to do the dirty work, so I will let him accompany Emperor Gongrang to meet the ancestors."
But at this point, Zhu Qiyu was inconsistent. In fact, when it comes to that step, Zhu Qiyu will send eunuchs Jiang An and Yuan Cheng to jointly take action, and then order Yuan Cheng to silence Jiang An.
Because in history, Jingtai was strangled to death by Jiang An.
There is no other way, so I can only use the other person's method to repay the other person's body.
Hearing this, Lin Xiangyu changed the subject: "My husband knows what he means by the literary and martial arts schools. But you want to transform the Old Han Palace into a Han Emperor Temple, and combine the old Han Palace Garden and the Lao Qi Palace Garden into Is Jingtai Garden a place for people in the capital to have activities and play, and at the same time promote Han culture?"
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Yes, that's what I mean. What if we don't promote the culture of the Han Dynasty? Should we promote the culture of the Yuan Dynasty? Promote the culture of the Great Sending?"
Dayuan said that the Mongols are the first class people, the Semu people are the second class people, the northern Han people are the third class people, and the southern Han people are the fourth class people.
Our Emperor Taizu once said: I am a farmer who was happy to be born in the Yuan Dynasty.
Needless to say, giving away all the women from the capital to the Kingdom of Jin for fun, and then blaming one's own women for losing their integrity after the fun, what the hell. Forget it, mentioning them is just dirtying my mouth. "
Ningxiang asked again: "Which emperors are enshrined in the Han Emperor Temple?"
"Emperor Taizu Gao, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, Emperor Zhongzong Xiaoxuan, Emperor Shizu Guangwu, Emperor Xianzong Xiaoming, Emperor Suzong Xiaozhang, and Emperor Zhaolie, seven in total."
"Emperor Zhaolie also wants to worship?"
Zhu Qiyu nodded with certainty: "Emperor Zhaolie has a commendable spirit, so he should be enshrined here to inspire our descendants.
In two or three hundred years, when our Ming Dynasty reaches its end, your descendants will know how difficult it was for Emperor Zhaolie when they have personally experienced the hardships of the last days. "
