Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

The barriers are clear and distinct!
Although the Wu Xun who saw them off gathered together, they seemed to be in harmony, but secretly, they seemed to be very different and each had their own thoughts.
And the backbone of all this... the Son of Heaven, seems to have been far away from this intricate center.
Nine bloody BMWs pulled the frame, left and right, front and back, guarded by heavy warriors and iron cavalry, drove on the concrete official road, and slowly moved towards the planned inspection site.
The emperor sat on the carriage, even though there were several eunuchs and maids standing in the carriage, it was not crowded at all.
The chaotic sounds outside the car could hardly be transmitted into the car. After the emperor sat down on the couch, he was still in the palace as before, dealing with state affairs.
The essence of rights lies in how many things can be decided and how many people's fate can be decided.
How much power the emperor has, naturally lies in this.
The affairs of the world, the fate of the people in the world, are written by the emperor, and the rights of the emperor are the supreme rights that cannot be violated.
Obviously, the emperor will never give up this right easily.
After all, it is very clear that once the power is let go, it will be difficult to take it back.
The root cause of the weakening of the imperial power and the expansion of the power of the ministers is that the rights that should belong to the emperor, because of the negligence of the emperor, or because of certain things, let the rights that belonged to the emperor belong to the courtiers, this is the weakening of the imperial power .
And once the imperial power weakens too much, it will be the prelude to troubled times.
The Son of Heaven reduced the power of the local government, took power to the central government, and established a large government system. At the same time, he suppressed civil servants and took power to the Son of Heaven.
Its root is also for rights.
The emperor has always firmly believed that only by concentrating strength can we accomplish great things.
If the country wants to be strong, it can only centralize power!
Only by centralizing power can we use power to suppress everything, clean up ills, implement good governance, and strengthen the country and enrich the people.
Without centralization of power, there will be endless party struggles, internal friction, and evasion, and the country will never be strong.
The frame was driving slowly on the official road, and the number of memorabilia on the emperor's table became less and less.
But outside the Tianzi frame, it is getting busier.
The emperor left the center, but if the will of the emperor and the affairs of the military and the country in various places are to be maintained normally, it will inevitably require a much larger messenger team than when he was in the capital.
The messengers carrying the dragon flag followed the emperor's carriage one by one, and after reviewing the sealed playbook, these messengers galloped and spread it to all parts of the world.
At the same time, military and state affairs from all over the world are also sent to the capital by the messengers, and now they are sent directly to the emperor's carriage.
Daheng's military and political center, from the very beginning, did not lie in the court, not in the capital. The real center of Daheng only lay in the emperor.
Everything else is just a side effect attached to the Son of Heaven.
This point, looking at the history, is also extremely rare. In a sense, it can be regarded as an extremely abnormal system.
After all, it is obviously not normal for a country, a nation, to be tied to one person.
Even in the past dynasties, the position of the Son of Heaven has existed for thousands of years, but such power is rare.
But it is also obvious that in today's general environment, the emperor is not unwilling to delegate power, but dare not!
This country is far from being on the right track. If it is not on the right track, if the emperor delegates power, it will be asking for trouble, it will be self-destructive, it will be to cut off all the layout of these years, and to break the process of alternation between old and new ...
……
Chapter 689
The itinerary of the emperor's tour of the world has naturally been drawn up long ago. Starting from the capital, the first stop is Tianjin Mansion. The real purpose is to lie in Tianjin Shipping Department, an important place that gradually shows signs of being a north-south hub.
After inspecting the shipping department in Tianjin, they traveled by land, through the Liaodong Corridor, to Liao Province, and then to North Korea. Then, according to the emperor's prediction, they took the sea route to Jiangnan.
But this is rare to be opposed by both civil and military forces.
The risk of sea transportation is still an unsolvable problem to this day. How can all civil and military officials dare to let the emperor sit on a sea ship.
Even people with ulterior motives would never dare to agree with this kind of thing.
A hat of murdering the emperor is enough to cut off a person's official career and kill the nine clans.
The emperor did not insist, so he decided that after the inspection of North Korea, he would go back the same way, and then go to Jizhen, Hetao, and the northwest border, and then take the ancient road through Shu, and go straight to Yunnan and Guizhou in the southwest, and finally to Jiangsu and Zhejiang...
There is no doubt that this plan of patrolling the world is to go around the world of Daheng completely.
Along the way, he will almost set foot on every important place in Daheng, so that the emperor will be able to see clearly the true appearance of the world.
As for whether the local government will pretend to be a face-lifting project to welcome him, this is definitely inevitable, but the itinerary of the emperor is fixed, only the direction of a certain place, not a specific county or prefecture.
If there is an official who can create a perfect face-saving project in a prefecture or a county, that would be regarded as extraordinary talent.
From the capital city to the shipping department in Tianjin, if it is based on the express speed of [-] miles, it will take no more than two or three days at most, and normally it will only take a few days.
But the mighty Son of Heaven inspection team had traveled on the official road for more than half a month before finally reaching Tianjin Mansion.
The news of the emperor's inspection had naturally already arrived at the Shipping Department of Tianjin.
Obviously, in the face of the emperor's personal inspection, no one dares to neglect the slightest.
Therefore, when the emperor stepped down from the dragon, what came into view, except for the scene of officials and generals kneeling down in Tianjin, was a standard cleanliness.
Everywhere you look, everything is neat and orderly. Even the port, which should be noisy and messy, is inexplicably peaceful. The workers carrying goods are all lined up in neat lines!
Looking around at the scene, the emperor's eyes flickered slightly, and then he slowly raised his hand, signaling the prostrate civil and military officials to stand up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
All civil and military officials shouted and stood up.
"Keep it simple, and do what other people should do."
"Huang Wen and Chang Heng, you two stay here."
"The minister obeys the order."
All the officials paid homage again, and then left in a hurry and orderly manner. In the end, only Huang Wen, the Tianjin Shipping Department, and Chang Heng, the commander of the Bohai Navy, were left behind.
The emperor was not in a hurry to ask anything, but turned around and looked at the princes and princesses who couldn't hide their excitement, but tried their best to suppress their excitement.
Undoubtedly, this is obviously the first time for the princes and princesses to step out of the capital, and even for many princes and princesses, it is the first time for them to leave the palace and go to the outside world.
The emperor pondered for a moment, then said:
"Er Dezi, show them around here."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the princes and princesses brightened, but in front of such a scene, no one dared to say more. They all looked at Er Dezi, and the excitement in their eyes was already uncontrollable.
"The slave obeys the order."
After receiving the order, Er Dezi greeted him immediately, and under the protection of all the brave guards, the princes and princesses headed out of the port under the guidance of Er Dezi.
At this time, the emperor looked at Huang Wen, the ship envoy of the Tianjin Ship Division, and Chang Heng, the commander of the Bohai Navy, who stood respectfully aside.
"Go, take a look with me."
The emperor waved his hand, walked away, and headed straight for the naval camp at the port.
Seeing this, Huang Wen and Chang Heng looked at each other subconsciously, not knowing what the emperor meant, they hurriedly followed.
Although the port at this moment is still in operation, it is obvious that the emperor must be extremely guarded here.
The whole port, where you can see it, can be described as a post at three steps and a post at five steps. The brave guards in armor stand upright, so closely guarded that anyone who makes a slight move will definitely win the game on the spot. .
"I remember, when the Tianjin Municipal Bureau of Shipping was just established, it was you, Aiqing, who served as the municipal ambassador, right?"
The emperor looked around at the port and said something seemingly casually.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, yes, since the establishment of the Shipping Department in Tianjin, I have..."
Huang Wen replied cautiously.
The eyes of the emperor are still looking around the port.
Naturally, he is no stranger to Tianjin Shipping Department and Tianjin Port. He has been to Tianjin Port more than once before.
What is the truth, he is naturally the door clear.
In this world, many things have the same fundamental principles.
As long as you see it thoroughly, no matter how good your superficial skills are, you can see the pros and cons at a glance.
The Son of Heaven started from the humble beginnings, and if it is about politics, it is really not considered sophisticated, but if it is about the reality under this superficial effort, the Son of Heaven really has some experience.
Where there are people, there must be interests involved, and where there are interests involved, there will inevitably be filth.
This is inevitable and irreversible.
Therefore, as long as this filth is not too much, the emperor can see it and ignore it.
Tianjin Prefecture is subordinate to Beizhili, and the Tianjin Shipbuilding Department is directly under the center.
With the dual jurisdiction so close to the center, coupled with the important position of the Tianjin Shipping Department, this dirtyness is obviously greatly restricted.
And this is something that the emperor has seen for many times.
This time, when he came to Tianjin Shipping Department, the focus of the emperor's attention did not seem to be in the Tianjin government office, nor in the Tianjin Shipping Department, but in the Bohai Marine Corps!
The restructuring of the Daheng Navy has been going on for many years, and the framework of the several major navy has naturally been sound.
The Daheng Navy has also changed from the previous Denglai Navy and the Jiangnan Navy to the four main navy and two patrolling navy.
They are the Donghai Navy, which was restructured from the former Jiangnan Navy, and the South Sea Navy, which was stationed in Ningbo to guard Guangdong and the southwest coast of Qiongzhou, and the Donghai Navy, which built a port in Anton, and guarded Shandong for a generation.
As well as the Bohai Navy, which was restructured from the original Denglai Navy, its military port is located in Tianjin Port!
The other two naval patrol battalions are respectively stationed in Taiwan and the two naval battalions in North Korea.
The four major navies and the two patrolling battalions are the main framework of the Daheng Navy. Of course, these are just the "navy" for the outside world, inland rivers, and dozens of rivers, large and small. division, and tax inspection patrol waterproof division.
Among them, the most important... is none other than the Bohai Navy!
6 Chapter Ninety
The navy of Daheng was restructured, with four main navy and two patrol battalions. The fundamental purpose of such a large navy is naturally to keep up with the pace of the age of great navigation.
Preparations are being made for Daheng to step into the sea completely. At the same time, Daheng's increasingly prosperous maritime trade business also needs a strong navy as a reliance to deter Xiaoxiao. The strategy was successfully implemented.
But these are only the superficial functions.
In any era, any ruling order, and any policy implemented, a fundamental factor that cannot be ignored must be considered.
That's domination!
Policies must not endanger national governance, and it is the same in Daheng today.
The restructuring of the Navy is to move towards the ocean, to stabilize maritime trade, and to increase the country's fiscal and tax revenue.
But it is undeniable that the center of gravity of maritime trade lies in the south, and the center of gravity of the navy also lies in the south.
So, it is very obvious that it is completely inconsistent with the fundamental ruling strategy of strong stems and weak branches.
Well, I'm afraid that the navy is directly under the center, but the navy is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and the center of the imperial court is in the north. If things go on like this, the imperial court's control over the navy will inevitably be weakened, and the army of the navy will inevitably become weak and strong. Branch Bureau.
Even though there are many ways to restrain the navy, this is inevitable and must be considered.
Therefore, there was a situation where the Bohai Navy was located in Tianjin.
No matter how important the functions and strategic significance of other naval forces are, no matter how important their functions and strategic significance are, in the end, they are not as important as the Bohai Navy's guarding the gateway to the capital's sea area!
The Bohai Sea Division is located in Tianjin, and the Tianjin government belongs to Beizhili, and the Tianjin Shipbuilding Department is directly under the center. It is only two or three days away from the capital.
In this way, even though the Bohai Sea Division is equal to the other three major naval forces in name, in fact, whether it is the emperor or the center of the court, they all treat the Bohai Sea Division as the Beijing Army Navy.
It is an important part of maintaining strong stems and weak branches!
Therefore, if it is said that the most powerful of the Daheng Navy was in the south of the Yangtze River, and after the restructuring of the Daheng Navy, the distribution of the other navy, whether it is warships, ordnance, or generals, can be said to be slow, but Only Bohai Sea Division has been changing rapidly since the beginning of the restructuring.
Its organizational scale is also second to none among the several major naval forces in Daheng. According to the naval restructuring regulations, the scale of the Bohai Navy is more than double that of other naval forces!
As the gateway to the sea of the capital, Tianjin Port, although it is the shipping department of Tianjin City and the hub of north-south shipping, in fact, Tianjin Port is also a huge military fortress.
Just facing the sea forts, in Tianjin Port, there are nearly a hundred of them, large and small, and these forts are not under the jurisdiction of the navy, or the Tianjin government, or even Tianjin Wei, but are directly managed by a battalion of elite soldiers. Battalion soldiers, that is, Tianjin Haiwei Battalion stationed.
On the other hand, the rivers and official roads leading from Tianjin to the capital are also blocked and heavily guarded.
With the prosperity of sea transportation, whether it is the emperor, or the civil and military officials of the imperial court, Tianjin, the gateway to the capital, is also paying more and more attention to it.
The courtiers in the court, if they talk about understanding the new era, are still not enough, but if they talk about centralized rule, strengthening the weak branches, and preventing misconduct, the courtiers in the court can be said to be proficient in their methods.
Even the emperor, in many cases, used these methods of courtiers for reference.
Bohai Marine Division, Tianjin Left and Right Guards, Haiwei Camp, Tianjin Mansion, Tianjin Shipping Division...
