Chapter 33: Responsibilities of Jinyiwei
There is a huge screen in the front yard, and a fish embroidered on it actually occupies seven or eight spaces of the whole screen. Other Cao Muwen didn't pay attention to it, but when he saw that the eyes of the embroidered fish were bright paintings, as if they were staring at you directly. Cao Muwen looked at this feeling, and his heart burst out Cold.
As the wave of brocade guards moved forward together, as soon as they passed the screen, they saw Wu Zheng. This box is waiting for Cao Muwen here, and some brocade guards lower than him bowed their hands to Wu Zheng. Wu Zheng nodded slightly.
"Ha ha, this is to take the style in front of the novice! This guy is really serious." Cao Muwen was happy to see this scene, just like a welcome ceremony for new employees.
Wu Zheng made Cao Muwen use a color, and Cao Muwen knew it in his heart, so he went with him.
Cao Muwen came to the room on one side with him and saw another person. The man was also dressed in a flying fish suit. He was eight feet long. He was very handsome and broad-eyed. He had a pair of big eyes and stared at Cao Muwen, as if he was also looking at him. Cao Muwen handed over his eyes. The man's eyes were very special and seemed to have a kind of manicing power, just like~~~ Cao Muwen secretly thought to himself, "Ah By the way, it's just like the fish I just saw on the screen!" Seeing that the man's lips were bearded, it is estimated that he is 30 years old.
The man put his hand on the knife handle at his waist and drooped naturally. He quietly looked at Cao Muwen. Wu Zheng and the two entered the room.
"Come on, Bingwen, introduce you to someone." Seeing the man, Wu Zheng smiled and pointed to Cao Muwen and said to him. Cao Muwen looked at the man with a smile. The man was stunned and smiled back. It seems that this person is easy to get along with. Cao Muwen's heart was light, and then he became suspicious, "Why is it impossible for Wu Zheng to be such a person to use!"
Immediately, Cao Muwen knew the reason.
"After you come, you will follow me. You should get along well and cooperate with each other."
"I've met my brother in Wei Bingwen." Wei Bingwen said and turned to Cao Muwen with his fists in his hands.
"Where, Cao Muwen, brother, you are too modest." These two people said you brother, and my buddy shouted at each other, and the scene was very warm.
"Ha," Wu Zheng was also happy to see the scene, because he would talk to these two now.
"Cough," Cao Wei and the two of them stopped knowingly, "It seems that the boss is going to talk." Cao Muwen thought.
The opposite is also thinking, "Wutou told me yesterday that he came here to wait for him early in the morning, saying that he had something important to tell him, and he didn't know what medicine he sold in the gourd?" Immediately, Cao Wei and the two became clear.
It's just that the reaction is different.
Cao Muwen opened his mouth wide and was stunned. Wu Zheng still has this idea!
Wu Zheng also just received a transfer order from Shangguan yesterday and approved his previous application for transfer to northern Xinjiang. Hearing this, Wu Zheng was also hot at that time. It seemed that there was no way out. If he didn't break through, there would be a chance!
The Ming Dynasty set up nine military towns in northern Xinjiang to defend against the harassment of the northern Mongolians, known as the "nine sides". In order to consolidate the northern border defense, Taizu repeatedly sent generals to march north. At the same time, he also stationed Zhu Di, Zhu Quan and other soldiers to the northern frontier fortress. When he arrived at Chengzu Zhu Di, he went out of the desert five times and set up a town along the border and sent troops to garrison. At the beginning, four towns of Liaodong, Xuanfu, Datong and Yulin were set up, followed by three towns of Ningxia, Gansu and Jizhou, and two towns of Taiyuan and Guyuan were set up for nine sides.
This "nine sides" is not only a military town, but also deployed with heavy troops, and the military official position is also self-contained. There are not only the main soldiers, that is, the regular army transferred to the local or the north, but also the visiting soldiers. As the name implies, it means that "visiting soldiers" is to transfer sufficient troops to nine sides to assist in defense from the southern provinces, which are relatively stable than those in the north and there is no war. It is usually in winter, because at that time, Tartars came back to invade and plunder some pig and sheep's property and population. This guest soldier is rotated every year. The officers and soldiers from one place go to the nine sides as guest soldiers for a winter, and it will take about several years to return to garrison again. These nine towns have general officers, deputy generals, generals, guerrilla generals, garrisons, generals, generals and other officers, with no grade and no fixed staff. The one side of the general town is the guard, the one who is the one who is alone is guarded, the one who guards one city and one fort is the guard, and the one who guards the same city with the general is the auxiliary guard. In addition, there are also admirals, procuring, inspections, imperial officials and other officials. It can be said that it is well organized and deployed in detail.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang also divided his son as the king of the vassals. Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was ascended to the throne by peasant uprisings, so he particularly noticed that when peasant uprisings broke out everywhere at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty lacked strong vassals everywhere. Moreover, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic, there was a reason why the royal family was weak because of the meritorious officials. In view of this, in Hongwu's third year, he decided to build a broad clan and feudalism, that is, to make his youngest sons as vassal kings in various places. In order not to make the world feel that his selfishness was too heavy, he deliberately made a confession in the imperial edict: "In ancient times, since the emperors are in the world, the eldest son must be in the right position. If all his sons are divided into thatched earth, they are awarded the title of king, covering the division between the elders and the young, and consolidating the momentum inside and outside. There are ten children today. At the previous year, he established his eldest son as the crown prince. On the seventh day of April this year, the second son was the King of Qin, the third son was the King of Jin, the fourth son was the King of Yan, the fifth son was the King of Wu, the sixth son was the King of Chu, the seventh son was the King of Tan, the ninth son was the King of Zhao, the tenth son was the King of Lu, and the envoy Sun was the King of Jingjiang. All ceremonials have been customized. Yu Xi! Many people build vassals, so they have a wide range of stone security; they have sealed the territory, so they are close to their relatives. Ancient and modern friendship, how dare I be selfish!"
Ming Taizu had 26 sons, and his eldest son Zhu Biao was crown prince. The ninth son Zhu Qi and the youngest son Zhu Nan died early. The rest of the princes and their grandchildren were successively crowned as vassal kings. In 1720, the princes were divided into kings: Zhu Xuan named Xi'an as the king of Qin, Zhu Wei named Taiyuan the king of Jin, Zhu Di named Beiping as the king of Yan, Zhu Wei first named the king of Wu, and then changed to Kaifeng as the king of Zhou, Zhu Zhen named Wuchang as the king of Chu, Zhu Wei named Qingzhou as the king of Qi, Zhu Zi named Changsha as the king of Tan, Zhu Tan named Yanzhou as the king of Lu, and Zhu Wenzheng, the nephew of the emperor of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Shouqian, his son, made Guilin the king of Jingjiang, with a total of nine people. The crowned vassal king gets ten thousand stones every year, and can place prime ministers and officials in the vassal palace, with less than 3,000 guards, as many as 19,000.
In addition to the Pingfan state, the feudal kings in the early Ming Dynasty had to deal with the remnants of the Mongolian regime in the north. Therefore, Taizu gave some vassal kings the power to lead the army, and sealed the princes who studied military affairs in the military important places in the north, all of which were known as the "King of Serbia". The king of Jin and the king of Yan were ordered to command the border defense army and build cities and fields. Feng Sheng and Fu Youde, the great generals of the Hongwu Dynasty, had been restrained by him. The two kings had to report directly about the major events in the army. After the title, King Ning also had an army, known as "80,000 with armor and 6,000 leather cars". Among the other kings, Qin, Dai, Su, Liao, Qing, Ning, Gu, An and other kings are generally distributed on a border line in the northeast, north and northwest. Among them, such as Zhu Di, the king of Yan at that time, and later Chengzu, got the training they deserved in long-term military activities. Their military command ability increased day by day, and their political ambitions also increased.
After that, it was the well-known and historically well-known "Bat of Jingnan".
Of course, those who know about the drawbacks are deeply aware of this. In the early Ming Dynasty, famous ministers Zhuo Jing and Ye Boju successively wrote down to point out the drawbacks of the division. Zhuo Jing said, "Beijing master, the world's visual effect. Your Majesty did not distinguish the power of the kings early, so that the clothes were chaotic with the prince and the direct concubines, and the superiority and low orderlessness. How could he make the world? And Ye Boju's argument is more specific. The direct consequences of this division were put straight in front of Taizu. He said solemnly: "Qin, Jin, Yan, Qi, Liang, Chu, Wu and Shu all have dozens of cities. The palace of the city is better than the capital of the son of heaven, and it is better than the prosperity of armored guards. I'm afraid that after several generations, the tail will not fall off, and then cut off the land and seize the power, I will live in hope. Even if fate arises, there is no way to prevent it. Before writing, Ye Boju expected that something might happen. He sighed and said to his friends, "Even if there is no clear edict, I will still say it, let alone ask for words?" He also foresaw that the matter of the title of king was "difficult and quick to see." Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang was in prison on the charge of disparation, and then died in prison. However, Ye Boju's foresight was fully confirmed later. In fact, as far as Taizu himself is concerned, he did not know the advantages and disadvantages of the division. However, due to his special status, he did not regard this matter as much. Until Zhuo Jing and others repeatedly pointed it out, he had to admit that "Yes, I don't care about it." However, he said that he did not put it into facts and actions. Due to his delay, it directly led to the tail of the kings. In the end, Emperor Jianwen was forced to withdraw from the vassal state, which led to the bitter consequences of Jingnan.
After this Jing difficulties, Emperor Yongle ascended the throne. In view of the loss of the previous dynasty, he attached great importance to controlling the vassal king. But after all, he was also a vassal king in the past, and he was able to ascend the throne by cutting the vassal rebellion. If you become the emperor because you were cut off the vassal, you will also cut the vassals now. First, your reputation will be greatly damaged. Second, you are sorry for the kings of various places who were very beneficial to you at the time of Jingnan. Moreover, you have opened a "bad head" first, and if your brothers will follow suit~~~~
Therefore, Mingli could not cut the vassals. Instead, he restored some vassal kings who were cut off during Emperor Jianwen's reign, making them grateful.
