I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Hearing this, Zhang Weixian's eyes widened.

Rectify the military governor's mansion!

The governor's mansion of the Chinese Army led the Zhongwei, Shencewei, Guangyangwei, Yingtianwei, Heyangwei, Mama Qianhusuo, Fanmuqianhusuo to stay in Beijing.

He also led dozens of guards such as Yangzhou Guard, Hezhou Guard, Gaoyou Guard, Huaian Guard, Zhenhai Guard, Chuzhou Guard, Taicang Guard, Sizhou Guard, Shouzhou Guard, Pizhou Guard, and Dahe Guard.

The institution of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is very important.

Since Tumubao, the emperor's gradual loss of military power was actually the result of the gradual decline of the military power of the Dudufu of the Five Armies by civilian officials.

Now, although Zhu Youxiao has used various means, such as the establishment of the Yongwei Battalion and the Jiangnan Camp, to force the Jiangnan Three Guards to rebel, and is gradually regaining military power step by step.

But in the final analysis, Zhu Youxiao still does not have direct command over the military power of the whole country.

The local generals are directly responsible for either the local governor or the Ministry of War. Even general conduct, training, and farming affairs all need to be handled by civilian officials.

This also resulted in the rules of local civil officials controlling military generals, forming a situation in which the gentlemen are noble and the military are inferior.

Although at this stage, by controlling the Ministry of War, Zhu Youxiao indirectly regained military power, but this is not a long-term solution.

This is just an expedient measure. The real way to let the emperors of the past dynasties hold military power tightly is to rebuild Zhu Yuanzhang's five-army governor's mansion.

Improve the power of martial arts, so that local generals can directly obey the emperor's orders through the five-army governor's office.

What Zhu Youxiao thinks is not only that he holds military power in his own hands, but that the next generation of emperors, and the next generation of emperors, must firmly hold military power.

Chapter 525 The Rise of the Martial Arts Forces

According to Zhu Youxiao's thinking, the military governor's mansion is just testing the waters.

Try to see who is against it, and who can dance the best. For this reason, Zhu Youxiao even made a plan to kill.

There is no bloodless reform in the world, and now that the time is ripe, there is nothing to hesitate and shrink back.

Rectifying the Chinese military governor's office is the same as implementing the new salt law in Shandong. Zhang Weixian and Wen Tiren are just pawns on Zhu Youxiao's power chessboard.

Speaking of the establishment of the Dudufu of the Five Armies, Zhu Yuanzhang's purpose is also very simple, that is, to use the Dudufu of the Five Armies so that the kings of later generations can directly control the generals.

If you control the generals, you will have the confidence to do anything.

In the early years of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang used his nephew Zhu Wenzheng as the governor. His most direct purpose was to ensure the control of military power by supporting Zhu Wenzheng.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang's plan is long-term and has little influence on the first or even second emperors.

Because judging from the personnel transfer of the restructuring, Zhu Yuanzhang first brought the generals into the Zhongshu Province under his direct control, but the leadership system of the Zhongshu Province's military-administrative integration was only to meet the needs of wartime.

To a certain extent, it is the same as Zhu Youxiao's use of Cui Chengxiu's temporary control of the military department to indirectly take back military power. It is an expedient measure and is not suitable for future regime construction and dynasty continuation.

And Zhu Wenzheng's appointment as the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion can ensure that the military and government of Zhongshu Province will be separated in the future, and the military power will continue to be in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang.

But Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect that only a few decades later, a battle of civil forts destroyed his overall deployment.

Zhu Qizhen's dandyish arrogance not only ruined the British Duke Zhang Fu who commanded the five armies, but also completely ruined the Wuxun Group that Zhu Yuanzhang stayed to help the emperors of the past to control the soldiers and horses.

After that, the status of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion plummeted.

The Ministry of War gradually merged the functions and powers of the Dudufu of the Five Armies, and the military and government were integrated. In some respects, it was similar to the Zhongshu Province in the early Ming Dynasty.

Even now, the five-army governor's office is completely useless, and all the powers have been taken over by the Ministry of War.

For military commanders, the official position of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is only equivalent to a "concurrent gift", and there is no need to report on their duties at all. The ordinary military affairs are taken over by local civilian officials, who then report to the Ministry of War.

The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies can neither manage the promotion and transfer of military generals, nor interfere with the guards' garrison and ordinary conduct. It has completely lost its function of governing the world's soldiers and horses.

What Zhu Youxiao has to do now is actually to restore the ancestral system.

Some ancestral systems need to be cast aside, Zhu Youxiao has no sense of guilt, because the times need to progress, and at the same time, some ancestral systems need to be restored.

The Mansion of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies is directly under the emperor, and as long as the authority of the Mansion of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies remains, the emperor has direct control over the local generals.

The emperor who holds the power of soldiers and horses is enough to change many things.

In other words, if the Three Guards in the south of the Yangtze River rebelled, the authority of the Five Army Commander's Mansion was still there, and to a large extent they would not be able to make trouble.

"Does the British government have any objections?" Zhu Youxiao glanced at Zhang Weixian with a slight dissatisfaction on his face, but his tone was not very tough.

Zhang Weixian was just stunned for a moment, he naturally knew the impact of rectifying the Chinese Army's Governor's Mansion.

"Your Majesty is wise, I have no objection."

"That's good." Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly, and then said:

"Since it is necessary to rectify the Chinese military governor's mansion, after that, all the farming and training affairs of the guards under the Chinese military's military governor's mansion will be handed over to the local Chinese military governor's mansion to take over."

"Under the jurisdiction of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion, the promotion and transfer of the generals belonging to the Beijing Guards and the Outer Guards do not need to be reported to the local governors. They are all managed by the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion Yamen."

"The ancestral system says what powers the Chinese Military Commander's Mansion has, and what powers it has now. You remember, this is what I said. As long as it is rectified properly, I will make decisions for you."

After hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Zhang Weixian felt like a lump in his throat.

He didn't know what to say, he only knew that the sky was about to change, and it was a complete change. The power that the emperor gave to the Chinese Army's Dudufu just now was originally one of the functions and powers of the Dudufu in various places.

It's just that after the Tumubao Incident, these functions and powers were taken over by the Ministry of War, and now they are directly handed over to the Dudu Mansion by the emperor's words of wisdom.

This is using the imperial power to directly improve Wu Xun's status and rights. In this way, it is equivalent to forcing all Wu Xun in the world to stand together and stand on the opposite side of the civil service interest group.

If the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is allowed to regain power, it will be a devastating blow to the civil service. One thing will never change, as long as the emperor has absolute power in his hands, any conspiracy is just wishful thinking.

"The minister leads the order!"

Zhang Weixian did not expect such a big change in exchange for this showdown.

It seems that this matter has been brewing in the emperor's mind for a long time, but it is just that the timing is not enough and there is no leader, so it is kept on shelving.

Now is the time to make a bold move!

……

There are more and more major events in the apocalypse, starting from the major imperial examinations.

If the new salt law is a battle of wits and courage with the local tyrants, and only a part of the interests of civil servants have been violated, then the rectification of the Chinese military governor's office is equivalent to declaring war on the entire system.

Zhu Youxiao wants to completely change the situation where the governor manages the local area and the civilian officials are also in charge of military affairs.

For the civil servants, this is tantamount to directly declaring war. Even the officials of the Wei Party find it difficult to accept it, let alone the local governors and civil servants.

The impact of this incident is by no means limited to the court.

Because for a long time, the style of the five-army governor's mansion has gradually declined, and no one has long regarded the nobles there as one thing. The local civil servants are all equivalent to "Emperors of Earth".

Local tycoons, wealthy merchants from chambers of commerce, and even some ordinary landlords and small traders, need to constantly deal with officials from various places if they need to travel wider.

This is equivalent to directly reducing the rights of civil servants within the jurisdiction of the Chinese military governor's mansion by half, and the scope of rectification of dozens of guards will affect more than hundreds of thousands of military households!

The rights of the civil servants were transferred to the government office, which was originally described as a fake, and in these places, everything needed to be reshuffled.

The resurgence of Wu Xun's power is a face-to-face challenge to the civil official group and the chaebol group that has cooperated with it for many years.

The scope of the current rectification is not large, it is limited to dozens of guards in Beijing and outside of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion, but the shock is the same for other places.

But the problem came again.

Judging from the strength of the implementation of the new salt law last time, it is obvious that although the British Duke Zhang Weixian proposed to rectify the Chinese military governor's mansion this time, in fact, the emperor must be behind it.

The new salt law has been full of twists and turns in Shandong. At first, the local tyrants united with local officials to secretly plan a civil uprising, which once hindered the implementation of the new salt law.

But what did the emperor do, there was no conspiracy, he directly dispatched the army, suppressed the rebellion and hunted down criminals on a large scale, and told the world with rolling heads.

This is the emperor's hole card, and it is also a lore.

No one can fight against the emperor who holds military power, not to mention that this is not a major reform that affects the people all over the world.

Chapter 526 I'm an officer and soldier, who am I afraid of?

In the south of Jizhou City, Ying'en Gate.

The wheels squeaked non-stop, and an ox cart was driving on the official road, and an old farmer was sitting on it, looking like a spring breeze, and it seemed that he was about to leave the city for the capital.

This ox cart full of grain bags is the yellow rice and sticky sorghum that the old farmer is best at growing.

It's strange to say, maybe it's a unique technique, the old farmer went to the capital to catch a fair last year, and when he came back, he became the exclusive "supplier" of a dim sum shop in the capital.

The shopkeeper of the dim sum shop said this. Someone in the palace loves to eat the exquisite dim sum made from his yellow rice and sticky sorghum. He is asked to send all the harvest every year to the capital. car.

People in Beijing bid very high, higher than the market price, and the old farmer felt flattered that a better life was waiting for him in the future.

With a "snap", he whipped out his whip, and directed the ox cart to lean against the city gate before entering the official road, just in order not to affect the pedestrians entering and exiting.

"Aha! Old man Huang, what a big cart of food!"

As soon as he arrived at the city gate, he heard an ugly male duck shouting loudly, "Where are you going to get rich? I heard that you met a nobleman in Beijing last year?"

It turned out to be a general guarding the gate of the city. This is not the general surnamed Zhao that the old farmer knew before. Since Wang Bao became the general soldier, the soldiers of the four gates have been changed all over the place.

The newcomer is said to have escaped from being a soldier in Liaodong and could not bear the pressure.

These days, there are more and more deserters every year. At first, the imperial court still took care of them, but later they really couldn't find out, so they turned a blind eye.

The deserter came to Jizhou and happily became a small general in charge of the door.

He still has good eyesight, knows who should not be provoked, and who will never stand up for him. When Cui Yingyuan brought Jin Yiwei to Jizhou, he didn't dare to ask more questions.

As for the old farmer, he was wearing a rough sweater, and he looked like he had no backing.

The old farmer naturally knew the changes in the officers and soldiers in the past six months, and he was already unwilling to deal with these people in his heart. While waving his whip, he replied coldly:

"Other people's goods, I will deliver them!"

The one always followed the bullock cart for a few steps, and laughed aloud: "Don't brag, the yellow rice in this big cart is only a few generations of your ancestors who are extremely poor, who would buy your goods?"

The old farmer frowned.

Indeed, at this time, it is better to have one thing more than one thing less, not to mention that it is not good to involve the owner, what if they don't want their own rice in the coming year?

"Look, you can't tell a lie!" Seeing that the old farmer didn't continue, the boss laughed, with a face full of sarcasm, and found that the old farmer was just driving the car without saying a word, and stepped forward a few steps:

"Hey, old man Huang, you should stop, I have something to tell you, are you too disrespectful to Ben?"

"Anyway, I'm also the commander-in-chief of the army. If you've thought about this, you should ask me first!"

After finishing speaking, the several officers and soldiers leaning crookedly against the wall and the door beside the general manager were Zhile. Looking at the embarrassed old man Huang, he wanted to knock him out of his heart.

The old farmer had no choice but to drink the cow and stop the car.

With all his eyes shining, he walked straight to the bags of rice on the bullock cart, looking here and there, "Ah, ah, old man Huang, listen to me."

"A while ago, Jin Yiwei came from Beijing, and they said they wanted to investigate something, and they wandered around the alley for half a day, which made the brothers in each battalion panic-stricken and didn't dare to work."

"In the past few days, my luck has not been very good. When I saw people coming in and out, I didn't dare to ask more questions. I'm so poor that I won't be able to solve the problem in the next two days."

Hearing this, the old farmer immediately understood what was going on, but the other party was an officer and soldier, so he didn't dare to be too tough, so he responded in one voice:

"Master Jun, Jin Yiwei has already finished the investigation, what is the usual situation, what is the current situation!"

"Hey, you're right. It's been half a month, and I'm thinking about it. Jin Yiwei's gang of elders are all busy people, so they shouldn't stay here for so long."

He glanced at the car with mischievous eyebrows and said:

"Let's go on, old man Huang, look, I'm the general manager now, and I still have a group of brothers under my command. If you lend me a stone, you are also my good brother."

"Will it work! Just one stone!"

"What?" The old farmer was taken aback, and said hastily, "Master Jun, this cart of food really doesn't belong to me, it's from the store in the capital!"

"One stone is not a small amount, and it's no joke to miss something!"

When President Jiang heard this, the smile on his face froze immediately, gradually darkened, and asked bluntly:

"One stone, half a month to pay back, in a word, will it work?"

The old farmers naturally knew how these officers and soldiers behaved, saying they borrowed them, but if you dare to go, you can take it, and even if you ask for it, what can you do if they don't pay you back.

Now the officers and soldiers here in Jizhou are not so much officers and soldiers as they are wearing the skins of officers and soldiers, and they actually do some things that bully good people!

What's more, this person is not from the local area. Wang Bao found it from somewhere. Once he escapes, there is nowhere to chase him, let alone return him.

If this stone of yellow rice sticky sorghum is borrowed, don't expect to pay it back!

The old farmer still wants to make a fortune from last year's harvest. All his hopes for his son's future marriage and the rest of his life rest on this cart of grain.

He waved his hands again and again, and said with an apologetic smile:

"This cart is not rice and white noodles, but only yellow rice and sticky sorghum. It was ordered by the dim sum shop in Beijing a long time ago. I really can't move it."
