Chapter 769 The cabinet is equal to the parliament Jiangnan gentry group has hated the Ming court since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.This needs to start with the struggle between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang, when Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, there were two major forces in Jiangnan, Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang.Zhang Shicheng was born as a salt merchant and was naturally supported by salt merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, while Chen Youliang was supported by the Jiangnan merchant group, and the people who supported Zhu Yuanzhang were actually Huaixi Group.After Zhu Yuanzhang established the country, he severely cracked down on and suppressed the Jiangnan merchants and gentry groups, but when Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, the two strongmen with iron fists, died, they quickly recovered.When he arrived in Wanli, it was like a swift wind and grass, and it became extremely powerful, and it was no longer the emperor or the cabinet that dominated the government, but the Jiangnan group.If it weren't for Quan Xu's existence, the glory of this group would continue, and their every move profoundly affected the fate of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, even iron-fisted strongmen such as Kangxi and Yongzheng could not really conquer this unruly group.Why are there so many angry youths and public knowledge in China in later generations?
Why are there so many literati who are scolding China all over the world?
Find any one, pull it up, and see whose son, whose son-in-law, whose offspring, everything is clear.Jeon Wook won't give them any chance.There is no decent army in Jiangnan, and it is no exaggeration to say that if you send a brigade at will, you can easily take the city of Nanjing.Quanxu's most important work is still for reform.First of all, the Ming Dynasty's guard system was completely abolished, including some guards who did not defect to the Manchus, but directly surrendered to Quan Xu, and Quan Xu asked the Ministry of Defense to abolish their military status according to the original military register.However, not all guards are willing to turn into civilians, especially border guards like Shazhouwei, and the army still has a certain combat effectiveness.Quan Xu thought about it and decided to give the soldiers of the Daming Guard a way out, that is, to form a construction corps, advance into Tianshan Province, and fill the no-man's land there.At the same time, the abolition of the Ming Dynasty's household registration system, in the Ming Dynasty, the craftsman is the craftsman, the music is the music, the prostitute is the prostitute, the merchant is the merchant, the descendants of the merchant can only be a merchant, and the descendants of the craftsman can only engage in handicrafts, so that the road to progress of these people is completely blocked.No matter what industry it is, not all of them inherit their father's business, some people are naturally rebellious and don't like to engage in the profession that Lao Tzu is engaged in, which is also a matter of no choice.In Quanxu's new dynasty, all the people have only one kind of household registration, they are all equal, as long as they do not break the law and do not commit crimes, they can go to school, study, farm, work, business, join the army, and engage in politics, without any restrictions.Another reform is for the military.First of all, the rank system of the whole family army was established, although nominally the same as the divisions, brigades and regiments of later generations, in fact, the establishment of the troops was different.In addition, Quan Xu did not take the chasm that was completely different from the officers and non-commissioned officers in later generations, just like being a soldier in the army in later generations, if he did not go to a military school, it was impossible to serve as an officer.However, the division commander was promoted to the rank of major general, and above the major general were lieutenant generals and generals.Quan Xu re-established the Governor's Mansion.However, this proposal was opposed by Shen Mingze and the ministers.Although it is said that the stubborn scholar class frantically suppressed the military general group, and even was very dissatisfied with the practice of abolishing the Ming Dynasty's national defense force for this reason, they also did not forget the tragic situation of the military general group attacking each other all year round during the rebellion of the feudal town, the lives of the literati were as cheap as ants, and the people were reduced to ten rooms and nine empty rations.Reopening the Governor's Palace?
No, absolutely not, isn't this another rebellion in the feudal town!
Absolutely not!
However, the generals felt that it was necessary to reopen the Governor's Mansion to allow them to obtain a higher status and more opportunities for promotion, and the benefits were obvious.The civil and military sides engaged in fierce arguments, and the quarrel was red-faced.In the end, it was Quan Xu who made the board, the Governor's Mansion, it must be opened!
Quan Xu is not worried that the army can stand on its own and stand on its own, and the salaries of the soldiers and officers of the army have never been paid by the generals, but directly through bank transfers.Weapons and ammunition, in the central tube, cut off supplies and ammunition, just with those ammunition in hand, how long can you fight?
What's more, the railway makes it faster for Quanxu to mobilize troops and horses.Rebellion, you can try it.If you don't beat your out, count yourself clean.Quan Xu made a decision, and the ministers had no choice.As the founding monarch of the country, as Jeon Wook, whose prestige is supreme, no minister dares to oppose him.Even Shen Mingze, the head of Wenchen, is the same, Shen Mingze's power is given by Quan Xu, and Quan Xu can take it back at any time.When the ministers saw that the opposition was invalid, they could only appoint.Quanxu first set up the Andong Governor's Office, which was responsible for the defense of Liaoyang Province, Heishui Province, Andong Province, Beizhen Province, and Huining Province, as well as the reorganization and mobilization of the army, the recruitment of soldiers, and strategic combat readiness.This territory was almost the entire area of the Nurkan Prefecture, and the Governor's Mansion was located in the twin cities of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate.The second prefecture is the Hanhai Prefecture, which runs from the desert and includes Tianshan Province, Hanhai Province, and Far Eastern Province.The third prefecture belonged to the Beijing Governor's Office, which was responsible for the defense of the capital Tianjin and Hebei Province.The fourth Governor's Mansion belongs to the Lanzhou Governor's Office.The training and mobilization of the army, the recruitment of soldiers, and the distribution of food and salary are to be resolved by the central center of the imperial court and the governor's office, and the local government has no right to interfere.In the same way, the Metropolitan Governor's Office is only responsible for local defense and army building, and has no right to interfere in local administrative affairs, and those who exceed their authority will pay a terrible price.The governor of the Ming Dynasty of the whole clan is not hereditary like the guard, and the governor of each governor's office is a term of five years, two ten-year terms, and the highest term is two consecutive terms.The troops of the prefectures are transferred to the defense areas every five years, and this transfer can also be used as a military exercise for the troops.Quan Xu gave the governors the maximum autonomy and also gave them the maximum restrictions, and the transfer of defense areas and the transfer of the governors and the subordinate troops respectively, these basically cut off the possibility of the governors supporting their own troops and even rebelling.Ten years, no shrewd careerist can make all the preparations necessary for a rebellion.Moreover, without the order of the imperial court, local troops were not allowed to enter the city in formation, even on holidays, and those who violated the order would be severely punished.The Ming Dynasty will abolish the conscription system, change to a compulsory military service system, all school-age youth, as long as they are not disabled or have congenital diseases, must undergo a physical examination, those who join the army, receive a two-year training in the army, evade the obligation to serve will be blacklisted, this life will not be able to get ahead.During the two-year compulsory military service, you are not allowed to find a partner in the locality, and those who violate the order will be severely punished!
After two years, those who have performed well and are interested in military life can continue to serve as professional soldiers, with a fairly good salary and a series of preferential policies, in a word, being a professional soldier is not only honorable, but also promising.The pinnacle of military generals is the general, but the top leader of the entire empire below the emperor is the prime minister of the empire.The prime minister is solely responsible for the people's livelihood, economy, politics, diplomacy, and personnel appointments and dismissals, and the marshal has no right to interfere.Of course, the prime minister implements an election system, and generals can also run for prime minister, but before the election, they must take off their military uniforms and sever ties with the military, otherwise they will not be allowed to run for election.This article undoubtedly reassured Wenchen Group.Although the reopening of the Governor's Mansion and the establishment of the Navy and Army Office basically cut off the possibility of civil ministers interfering in the army, and greatly improved the status of military generals, the basic national policy of the Ming Dynasty is still to govern the country by civilian officials, and their status has not been reduced, but they have to accept the limited challenge of the military general group.After the reform of the army, the next step was the reform of the civilian service.The reform of the civilian bureaucracy is much more complex than the reform of the military system.There is no way, this reform is directly related to the interests of millions of readers, and any change or change will affect the fate of countless students, and the slightest carelessness may lead to disastrous consequences.How did the Yuan Dynasty end?
There are many reasons for this, the most important of which is to reduce the status of the reader and beat the reader into the old nine.It's almost the same status as a beggar or a prostitute.Those scholars have no way out, so they naturally want to rebel, but the Yuan Dynasty is very capable of death, so this superpower was killed all of a sudden, and there was no scum left.Therefore, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, everyone knew that the existing system had a big problem and did not dare to move, and would rather stick to the remnants than reform, for fear of repeating the mistakes of the Yuan Dynasty.However, Quanxu has no concerns about this.This battle has smashed most of the Ming Dynasty, and without so many jars and jars, he may let go of his hands and feet and carry out drastic reforms.And Chongzhen will never be able to do it, Quan Xu has more advantages than Chongzhen in that he has the knowledge of history and politics all over the world, and he also understands the life of the people and the economy, although he is not an economic expert, but there are too many books on economic theory in later generations, even if you don't read professional books, you can see film and television dramas.Standing on the shoulders of historical giants, Quan Xu saw the weaknesses of the current system of the Ming Dynasty clearly, while Chongzhen could only see the world of the Forbidden City, knowing that there was a problem, but he didn't know where the problem was.The first article of the new policy on the reform of the civil bureaucracy system is to abolish the second assistant and the cardinal assistant, and the first assistant will be renamed the prime minister, and the supreme power of the government council will be tied to the prime minister.The prime minister is elected by the most outstanding talents in the military and political circles, and the emperor has no right to appoint him, and he must not interfere in the election, no matter who is elected, as long as the procedure is legal, the emperor must recognize it.Similarly, the emperor does not have the power to remove the prime minister, and the cabinet can also impeach the prime minister, which must be by a majority vote.Quanxu's cabinet is not three or five people, but seventy or eighty people, or even hundreds.Ministers, senior officials of various provinces, commanders of divisions, governors of prefectures, and captains of ships can enter the cabinet and participate in the election of the prime minister.In this way, the cabinet is actually equivalent to parliament.And it's like the House of Lords in the UK.However, the prime minister has a clear resume, must have grassroots work experience, must have border work experience, and be proficient in general affairs, unlike Zhu Daming, who can be admitted to the exam.I have a suite at the end of the Ming Dynasty
