Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

The administrative environment of the Ming Dynasty, at least half of the north, seems to have changed quite a bit from the past.

"But... it's not enough!"

In the study, Li Xiu sighed quietly, and what he was holding in his hand seemed to be the summary of the first year of Jingwu inspection reported by the Inspectorate.

What is the difference between a slightly improved corruption and a de facto corruption in the face of fiscal and taxation reforms?

It's all unusable!

As long as it is unusable, any change is useless.

In the administration of officials, if quantitative changes are to trigger qualitative changes, it is only possible with a strong center that persists for more than ten years.

However, in today's Ming Dynasty, can there be more than ten years like a day to rectify the administration of officials?

Obviously impossible.

Even though the military reform has been thoroughly implemented, giving Daming a wave of life, but if the administration of officials has not been rectified for a long time...

In the end, the result of the Ming Dynasty may be the glory of the past, and then fell into the abyss like a cliff, leaving an eternal swan song of "Daming perishes with strength" in the long history.

After all, erosion will spread.

It is a lifetime to be constrained and conscientious, to be a cow and a horse.

Unrestrained, corrupt, sensual, but not punished, it is a lifetime.

In such a contrast, spreading erosion is also inevitable.

It's like the low status of military households, which directly led to the corruption of the guard system, and it's the same reason.

Everyone has thought about a good day, it is the nature of human beings.

Now, the reform of the military system has seen the dawn of victory, and the reform of finance and taxation is not far away. Therefore, it is imminent to have a clean government.

After all, without a qualified ruling class, the upcoming fiscal and taxation reform will never be successful.

But in a short period of time, it is obviously impossible to expect such a subtle rectification by civil officials to make the administration of officials clear.

Li Xiu never pinned his hopes entirely on the self-organization of civil servants.

The reward given long before the death of Chongzhen clearly revealed the layout of Li Xiu and Chongzhen.

After that battle, relying on military merits, Chongzhen broke the pattern of civil servants ruling the country with almost a posthumous reward.

The brave guards led by Li Xiu are also the first time to engage in military affairs and set foot in political affairs.

Such as Li Xiu's own auxiliary state administration, such as Xu Feng's Jizhen supervisor, such as Zhou Yuji's Xuanfu supervisor.

These, in the past, were undoubtedly positions controlled by civil servants.

The mother's unquestionable military achievements, coupled with Chongzhen's almost edict rewards, brought about a gap in the pattern of civil servants ruling the country.

And Li Xiu followed this opening and made another layout.

On the grounds that the war in Shaanxi was tight, Zhou Yuji was appointed as the governor of the three sides to control the entire military affairs of Shaanxi. Then, on the grounds of the important mountains and seas, Shanhai Town was established, and many counties behind Shanhaiguan were brought under the jurisdiction of Shanhai Town. Zhao Wu was the supervisor of Shanhaiguan. Shanhaiguan military administration.

Set up the important town of Denglai, established the Denglai Navy, ordered Lu Xiang to be promoted to governor of Denglai, and governed a large area of ​​Denglai on the Dongjiang River.

This time, on the grounds of preventing Mongolia from knocking down the border, a trilateral governor was set up, and all the military and political affairs of the counties and counties under the jurisdiction of the three major border towns, Jizhen, Xuanfu, and Datong, were brought under the jurisdiction of the trilateral governor.

In addition, he sits in the capital and strictly controls the Zhili area. In this way, most of the north, in fact, whether it is the army or the government, is already under his control. The only difference is that it is more nuanced. It's just a rectification.

And this, he had already issued an order. Hong Chengchou's appointment at the beginning came out because of Zhou Yuji's cleansing and rectification of Shaanxi official circles.

Such behavior naturally aroused strong dissatisfaction among civil officials.

But in this court center, it is obvious that there will be no disturbances, but as far as the whole world is concerned, the disturbances are naturally not small.

The Qing emperor's side slogan that is still spread today, and even this time the world is against each other. In fact, there are no small reasons for this.

In fact, Li Xiu didn't think there was anything wrong with this slogan. After all, the military and government were all in the hands of warriors, and the lessons from all dynasties were extremely clear.

It's like the position of the governor of the three sides, under the jurisdiction of three towns and one province, with military and political control, in a sense, it is no different from a feudal town.

Even though he knew the consequences, Li Xiu had no choice but to choose the lesser of the two powers. In special times, centralization of power is always better than power. He can only choose to hold hope in his own hands.

Moreover, he is confident that as long as he is alive, the disaster of the feudal town will not happen. What's more, as long as the problem he wants to solve is finally solved, he will naturally not let the power of military and government integration continue in Daming territory.

The separation of the military and the government, and the civil and military checks and balances can limit people's ambitions within a certain range, so that they will not break through the boundaries and do irreversible things.

While his thoughts were flowing, Li Xiu was even thinking about whether he really wanted to completely break the tacit understanding with the civil servants and start an era of emphasizing martial arts and despising literature?

It is too difficult and too difficult to expect civil servants to cut their own flesh.

It is undeniable that the efforts of Sun Chuanting's ministers, but many things cannot be achieved by their efforts.

But if the prelude to the rule of the country by military men is completely opened, it will undoubtedly stir up a thousand waves with one stone, and cause a lot of trouble again.

"boom!"

Just as Li Xiu was thinking, the door was suddenly pushed open with a bang, Li Xiu frowned, and looked away instantly.

But when he saw the figure coming out of the door, Li Xiu's frown was instantly relieved.

"Brother Xiu!"

"You kid came here without warning again, right?"

Li Xiu shook his head helplessly: "You just wait, boy, foreign generals don't report to Beijing. Tomorrow at the latest, there will be a lot of impeachment notes on my desk."

"Hey, brother Xiu is not here, let them impeach. Anyway, no matter how impeachment is done, brother Xiu will handle it."

Erwazi chuckled, his face full of indifference.

"I see you are itchy again."

Li Xiu glanced at Erwazi angrily, walked to the tea table in the room and sat down, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea to Erwazi, and asked casually, "How is the governor of the three sides?"

"It's not bad, but there are a lot of disobedient ones!"

Erwazi took up the tea and drank it carelessly, then smacked his mouth: "I have caught quite a few by knocking on the edge of Mongolia this time, and they are now being interrogated!"

"Those civil servants are really eggless. When I first took office, they all looked like stinky, hard shit. After I slaughtered a group of people, they immediately became honest, but they always act face to face. I'm not used to them, whoever dares to do this, I will arrest whoever..."

Hearing this, the corners of Li Xiu's mouth couldn't help twitching. He was naturally aware of the situation on the three sides. Now, where these warriors are in charge of the military and political power, they do whatever they want and kill to their heart's content.

In this imperial court, he has to wipe the ass of these bastards in a hurry.

Not only do you have to face the pressure and opposition of courtiers, but you also have to promptly dispatch new officials to fill the vacancies.

However, nowadays, places where warriors like Erwazi hold military and political power are basically taboo places for civil servants.

Whenever there is a shortage of officials, people are transferred to go. In all likelihood, they would rather resign than go.

Moreover, a tacit understanding between civil servants has basically been formed.

They didn't even want to go, obviously they all wanted to see how Duke Qin would end up without officials to govern, or in other words, to force him to bow his head.

If only some officials are unwilling to go, Li Xiu can accept it, but if almost all of them have a tacit understanding, Li Xiu will naturally not spoil them, nor will he compromise in the slightest.

With the order of the military, a large number of military generals with a cultural foundation were selected. After simple training, they were sent to those prefectures and counties that lacked officials, and military control was temporarily implemented.

For this reason, he also had to spend a lot of manpower and material resources, and took a multi-pronged approach to stare at the generals sent to the place.

The fact is very touching, even if he has carefully selected and cultivated them, if one or two out of ten are barely usable, it is already very good.

But even so, it is undoubtedly a great thing for Li Xiu.

And with the rise of Wu Xun, breaking the situation where the gentlemen are noble and the military are cheap, and there is even a faint momentum of Wu Xun controlling the country, which has also attracted many talents to join the army. This has also greatly increased the army. Quality.

He commanded hundreds of thousands of troops. Now, with the continuation of the military reform, this number is still spreading rapidly. Such a large base undoubtedly gives him sufficient confidence.

He, Qin Guogong, can govern the country well without civil servants. Even the implementation of military orders, which are like mountains, is far more efficient than governing with civil servants.

In this way, civil servants are naturally no longer necessary for him, and of course he no longer tolerates civil servants as before.

If you don't want to go, then don't be an official, just use the reason of resisting the order, dismiss the official position, and never hire.

Later, he also set up a civil affairs department directly in the martial arts academy, with the intention that the students of the martial arts academy can go on horses to rule the army, and dismount herdsmen.

What's funny is that when it was confirmed that Duke Qin didn't need a civil servant, he could also guard the people and govern the world, the original scene of dismissing him from office disappeared silently.

Naturally, Li Xiu was also so happy, like playing chess, when he dispatched a civil official to take up the post, he dispatched a military general to take the post, and the civil and military competition was extremely enjoyable.

As for the voices against the generals and herdsmen, they are naturally still fierce.

However, Li Xiu never backed down from the situation where the whole world was against him. Now, how could he back down in the slightest.

No matter how horrific the future consequences of this policy are, he needs this kind of centralization of power, and he needs the ruling institution of Ming Dynasty to implement his will just like implementing military orders.

If civil officials are useful, he will use civil officials; if civil officials are not useful, he will use military men, and use military men to overwhelm literati, and practice the strategy of survival of the fittest!

……

Chapter 327 Daming!It's Daming from the Zhu family!

"Little ones, come here for me!"

In the courtyard, a few children who were about the same age as the little emperor trotted over under Erwazi's call, saluting in a dignified manner.

"Brother Xiu, this is the third baby, this is the fourth baby, this is the fifth baby, and this is the little sixth baby!"

"Big baby, second baby, third baby and fourth baby, call uncle quickly,"

Erwazi hugged the youngest child in his arms, and introduced it to Li Xiu with a smile like counting radishes.

Li Xiu's mouth twitched when he heard this rather outrageous address. Naturally, he told Er Wazi the story of the gourd baby saving his grandfather.

Who would have thought that this bastard would put these names on his own children...

"uncle!"

"uncle!"

The children also saluted and greeted in a dignified manner, but the slithering eyes clearly proved the dishonesty of these children.

"Three babies come here!"

Li Xiu beckoned, looking at the third baby who was obviously much older than the little emperor, Li Xiu couldn't help but turn dark.

These three children were obviously born to the brothel woman who made Er Wazi compete with others in Ji Town.

As if aware of what Li Xiu was thinking, Erwazi also scratched his head and smiled coyly. At this time, he didn't dare to talk too much, otherwise, he might have to face his own son Beaten in front of him.

"Well, not bad, the foundation of martial arts is not bad."

Li Xiu patted Sanwa's shoulder, and the inner energy flowed through Dawa's whole body in an instant, and most of the situation was also clear to his heart.

"Take this, take one pill at three o'clock every day!"

Li Xiu took out a jade bottle from his bosom, squeezed the third baby's face, and then stuffed it into the elder baby's hand.

"Thank you uncle."

"good."

Li Xiu rubbed the second baby's head, and then called the other three children, the fourth baby and the fifth baby were all little boys, only the sixth baby was a little girl with two ponytails, and they were all given gifts.

Seeing the four children playing in the yard, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile.

"You are blessed, kid. At such a young age, a child can make soy sauce."

"Hey, it's nothing to me, that boy Zhao Wu, the seventh one is born now!"

"the seventh?"

Li Xiu was taken aback for a moment, and then shook his head. Most of his subordinates were born in poor families, and the concept of more children, more blessings is deeply rooted.

Now that the power is prominent, and there is no shortage of those few bites of food, it is natural to give birth to as much as possible.

As for the future of future generations, it is estimated that few have seriously considered it.

Immediately, Li Xiu seemed to think of something, pondered for a moment, and then said: "If there is a department in the martial arts academy, which is dedicated to cultivating generals from an early age, what do you think, Erwazi?"

Erwazi was stunned for a moment, and then his face was indifferent: "Brother Xiu, you can arrange it. I am busy with military affairs on weekdays, and I don't have time to take care of these boys. In the mansion, these boys are almost lawless. I should discipline them well." one time."

Hearing this, Li Xiu frowned, and said casually: "The truth, or flattery?"

As soon as this remark came out, Er Wazi's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Xiu, you still don't understand me, when did I ever tell a lie in front of you!"

Li Xiu didn't struggle, but shook his head and said, "It will take a few more years, there is no rush, we are still too young, and we are still young."

At this time, Li Xiu looked at Erwazi: "When the military reforms in the northern provinces are completed, fiscal and taxation reforms will be carried out immediately!"

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Erwazi frowned, this is, but he lost his unscrupulous look, and said solemnly: "Is it too urgent, Jiangnan side, there is not much progress now."
