Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei

Chapter 326: The ruling class with civil and military coexistence

The storm of military reform has completely swept the entire Daming, and under the storm of military reform that has swept Daming, there is also a clear stream that has already begun, like moistening things silently, has spread to the entire Daming.

And this clear stream is the rectification of officials that has long since kicked off from the court.

In fact, the rectification of officials has been carried out since the change of Jingji in the first year of Chongzhen, when Chongzhen held power.

From the end of the first year of Chongzhen to the death of Chongzhen, Li Xiu accepted the government, and he also did not relax the rectification of officials.

However, unlike the drastic means of military reform, Li Xiu has always been extremely cautious in the rectification of official management.

The capital court was rectified and cleaned up several times, and then little by little, it spread from the capital court to the whole world.

The imperial censors sent to various places have already inspected the entire Ming Dynasty several times.

Although most of them are still superficial and have not touched the real reality, it has been the past few years from the first year of Chongzhen to the end of the first year of Jingwu.

The administrative environment in Daming, at least in most of the north, seems to have changed a lot from the past.

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

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

In the face of fiscal and taxation reform, what is the difference between a slightly improved erosion and a de facto erosion?

All are useless!

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

In the management of officials, if you want to use quantitative changes to trigger qualitative changes, it is only possible with a strong center that persists as a day for more than ten years.

However, in today's Ming Dynasty, can he have more than ten years as a day to rectify the administration of officials?

Obviously not possible.

Even if the military reform was thoroughly implemented, and the Ming Dynasty was given a new wave of life, if the officials had not rectified Qingming for a long time...

In the end, the result of Daming may be the brilliance that is close to the light and the light, and then it falls off a cliff into the abyss, leaving behind an eternal sing-song of "Daming died by force" in the long history.

After all, erosion will spread.

Being restrained, conscientious, and being a cow and a horse is a lifetime.

Unrestrained, corrupt, sensual and lustful, there is no punishment, and it is also a lifetime.

In such a contrast, spreading erosion is also inevitable.

Just as the low status of military households directly led to the corruption of the guard system, the same is true.

Good days, everyone has thought about it, and human nature is like this.

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

After all, the near-term fiscal and taxation reform will never succeed without a qualified ruling class.

But in a short period of time, it is impossible to count on the subtle rectification of the civil officials to make the government clear.

Li Xiu never placed his hopes entirely on the civil servants' self-rectification.

The award that was given long before Chongzhen's death clearly revealed the layout of Li Xiu and Chongzhen.

After the war, relying on military merit, Chongzhen broke the pattern of civilian governance by awarding rewards almost like a posthumous edict.

The brave guards and nobles 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 country, such as Xu Feng's Jizhen governor, such as Zhou Yuji's Xuanfu governor.

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

Undoubted military exploits, coupled with Chongzhen's almost posthumous award, brought about the pattern of civilian governance of the country, which was torn open.

And Li Xiu also followed this opening and made the layout again.

On the grounds of the tight war in Shaanxi, Zhou Yuji was named as the governor of the three sides, and he took control of the entire military and government of Shaanxi. Then, on the grounds of mountains and seas, Shanhai Town was established, and many prefectures and counties behind Shanhaiguan were brought under the jurisdiction of Shanhai Town. Zhao Wu was the supervisor of Shanhai. Shanhaiguan Military and Political.

Set up the important town of Denglai, set up the Denglai navy, ordered Lu Xiang to be promoted to the governor of Denglai, and govern a large area of ​​military and political affairs in Denglai on the Dongjiang River.

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

In addition, he sits in the capital and strictly controls the Zhili region. In this way, most of the north, whether it is the army or the government, is already under his control. The worst is only more meticulous. just rectification.

And this, he has already issued an order, that Hong Chengchou's entry into effect at the beginning came out because of Zhou Yuji's cleaning and rectification of officialdom in Shaanxi.

Such behavior naturally aroused strong dissatisfaction among the civil servants.

But in the center of the court, there is obviously no trouble, but as far as the whole world is concerned, the storm is naturally not small.

The slogan on the side of Qingjun that is still being spread today, and even the world is against this time, in fact, there are no small reasons for this.

In fact, Li Xiu didn't think that this slogan was wrong. After all, the military and politics were all controlled by the warriors, and the lessons of the past dynasties were extremely clear.

It is like the position of the governor of the three sides, under the jurisdiction of three towns and one province, with full control of the military and government. In a sense, it is no different from the vassal towns.

Even if he knew the consequences, Li Xiu had no choice. The two powers harmed each other whichever was the lesser. In special times, centralized power was always better than power. He could only choose this way to keep hope in his own hands.

Moreover, he is confident that as long as he is alive, the disaster of the vassal town will not occur, not to mention, as long as the problem he wants to solve is finally solved, he will naturally not let the power of military and political integration continue in Daming territory.

The separation of military and government, and the balance between civil and military, can people's ambitions be confined within a certain range, so as not to break through the boundaries and do irreversible things.

As his thoughts flowed, 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 devaluing literature?

It is too difficult to expect civil servants to cut flesh on themselves.

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

But if the prelude to the rule of the country by warriors is completely opened, it will undoubtedly cause a thousand waves and cause a lot of trouble again.

"boom!"

Just as Li Xiu was thinking about it, the door was suddenly pushed open with a loud bang, Li Xiu frowned, and his eyes turned 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 notice, didn't you!"

Li Xiu shook his head helplessly: "Wait, boy, the foreign general will not report to the capital. Tomorrow at the latest, there will be a lot of impeachment papers on my table."

"Hey, it's not about you, Brother Xiu. Let them impeach. No matter how you impeach, Brother Xiu will handle it."

Erwazi smiled, with a look of indifference.

"I see that your skin is itchy again."

Li Xiu gave Erwazi an angry look, walked to the tea table in the room and sat down, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Erwazi, and asked casually, "How is the governor of the three sides doing?"

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

Erwazi took the tea and drank it carelessly, and slammed his mouth: "I used Mongolia to knock on the side this time, and I caught a lot of people, and now I'm on trial!"

"Those civil servants really don't have eggs. When I first took office, they were all stinky and tough shit. After I killed a group of people, I immediately became honest, but I always acted in person. I'm not used to them, whoever dares to do so, I will arrest whoever..."

Hearing this, Li Xiu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. He naturally knew the situation on the three sides. Now, where these warriors are in charge of the military and government, they kill them as they please.

In this court, he has to hurriedly wipe the **** of these bastards.

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

However, nowadays, the places where warriors such as Erwazi hold military and political power are basically taboo places for civilian officials.

Whenever there is a shortage of officials and people are dispatched to go there, nine times out of ten, they would rather resign and be dismissed than go.

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

He didn't go, obviously he wanted to see how he would end up as Duke Qin without official governance, or rather, he was forcing him to bow his head.

If only some officials were reluctant to go, Li Xiu could accept it, but if there was a tacit understanding of the whole group, Li Xiu would naturally not be accustomed to them, nor would he compromise in the slightest.

At the command of the army, a large number of military generals with cultural foundations were selected. After a brief training, they were dispatched to those prefectures and counties that lacked officials to temporarily implement military control.

To this end, he also had to spend a lot of manpower and material resources, and stared at the generals who were sent to the places in a multi-pronged manner.

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

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

With the rise of martial arts, it broke the situation of nobleness and inferiority, and even there was a faint momentum of martial arts to control the country. It also attracted many talents to join the army. In this way, it 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, who does not need civilian officials, can govern the country well, and even the implementation of military orders, the military orders are like a mountain, it is far more efficient than civilian governance.

In this way, for him, civil officials naturally no longer have the necessity of the past, and of course he no longer has the past tolerance for civil officials.

If you don't want to go to ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, then don't become an official, and directly dismiss the official position on the grounds of resisting the decree, and will never be hired.

Later, he also set up a civil affairs department directly in the Wuyuan Academy, so that the students of the Wuyuan Academy could go on horses to govern the army and dismount the herdsmen.

But the funny thing is, when it was determined that Duke Qin did not need civil servants, he could shepherd the people, and he could govern the world.

Naturally, Li Xiu was also very happy. Like playing chess, when a civil official was dispatched, another military general was dispatched.

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

However, Li Xiu never took a step back in a situation where the whole world was in opposition.

No matter how terrifying the future disaster may be, this policy of deploying horses to govern the army and dismounting to govern the people, but at the moment, he needs this kind of centralization, and the governing body of Daming needs to implement his will as if it were carrying out military orders.

If the civil servants can be used, he will use the civil servants. If the civil servants are unusable, he will use the military people, and use the military people to force the literati. The strategy of survival of the fittest!
