Chapter 308: Military and civilians are one family!
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent.
He never denied that he had selfish motives.
It is almost made public. He was born in poverty and wanted to make his family live a better life. There is no problem with this, and it is impossible for anyone to think there is a problem. If anyone thinks there is a problem, it is not his problem. , but think that there is something wrong with the person with the problem.
He stared at Xia Zhibai and said indifferently: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Zhu Biao also looked puzzled.
Xia Zhibai has said so much, both criticizing and denying. After all, the bottom line is that the Ming Dynasty’s system cannot last long, and the system created by his father is bound to have problems. It may even lead to serious setbacks in the world.
But did he ever give a solution?
From his father's perspective, it is understandable that he wants the Zhu family to live a better life.
Although it is a bit excessive, it is also a bit too indulgent.
But who in the past dynasties has not been like this?
Xia Zhibai dusted off the invisible dust on his body and said in a deep voice: "I have said it a long time ago that the person who really controls history is not your Majesty, but the farmers who work hard in the fields. , They are the merchants who travel in official circles, they are the officials who speak in the court, and they are the scholars who stay up late to read. "
"The vast majority of them are destined to remain unknown. ”
“It is also destined to be unable to leave its own name in history. ”
"But these people constitute history."
"They are the real masters of the entire world."
"Your Majesty is just a person elected by the people to guide the direction of the world."
< br>"Your Majesty is also a common people."
"He is also from the bottom of the common people."
"Your Majesty, do you still remember the journey before you sat on the emperor's throne?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was in a trance.
How did you come before taking the throne of emperor?
Many scenes suddenly flashed before Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, including the wind and rain in the thatched house when he was a child, and the bells of Huangjue Temple.
He thought of the swords and swords on Chuzhou Road, and seemed to see the flames of war in Poyang Lake again. He saw many people, saw Guo Zixing, saw Miao Daheng, saw Xiao Mingwang, and also saw Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, he even saw Emperor Yuan Shun.
Look back on where you came from.
Even the hard-hearted Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but be shaken.
Yes.
I have experienced too many things in my life.
He has gone from being a humble soldier to fighting in thousands of armies and fighting his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood to where he is today. He has experienced too many hardships and endured too much pain and torture. But he has never been afraid, because he is Marshal Zhu and he has no way out.
He could only grit his teeth and move forward.
Chen Youliang was so arrogant, Zhang Shicheng was so popular, and Fang Guozhen was stirring up troubles along the coast. So many great heroes eventually fell at their feet one by one, and their bones were paved. His own path to ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor.
It is precisely because he has experienced so many hardships that he deeply understands that the Ming Dynasty was hard-won.
That’s why he cherishes the existence of Ming Dynasty so much and doesn’t want to be destroyed by anyone.
He rummaged through ancient books and devoted his whole life to create an eternal world, to put an end to the turmoil and chaos in the world, so that the world could always be stable. He also continued to work hard for this, but these of his The idea has been questioned and opposed by too many people.
final.
He was angry.
Since the explanation is not clear, I will not explain it.
He chose violence to get out!
He himself came out of the pile of dead people, so what does it matter if he kills more people? As long as his policies can be carried out, as long as he can make people fear him as always, and as long as he can make his ministers dare not have any ambitions, it will all be worth it.
Zhu Yuanzhang's vision became clearer and clearer.
In the end, it turned into a gleaming sword.
Just one glance is enough to impress people.
“Of course we remember.”
“We remember it better than anyone else.” “We even remember the face of the first person we killed.”
“We will never forget the pain and struggle on that man’s face when we slashed with the sword.”
Xia Zhibai smiled and said, “So your Majesty, now Do you want to understand what your Majesty wants to leave to the world?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, looked at Xia Zhibai, and said in a serious voice: "What do you mean by this? Is there such a thing?”
Xia Zhibai nodded seriously: “Yes.”
"And the emperors of the Ming Dynasty will definitely care about it."
"What?" Zhu Yuanzhang said sharply.
"Violence!!!"
"Violence?!" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned. He chewed these two words repeatedly in his mouth, and the confusion in his eyes became more and more intense.
How can violence last?
When it comes to military prowess, nothing in the world is more powerful than the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty.
But what’s the result?
Qin, the second generation died.
In his later years, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued the Luntai Edict.
Isn’t it because he is doing so much now that he hopes that future emperors of the Ming Dynasty will not have to go to war?
Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?
Xia Zhibai said calmly: "Your Majesty's journey along the way is mainly based on violence. Although it also involves a lot of strategies and conspiracies, in the end you have to fight with your fists. Only with strong fists can you fight with others." This is the last word. "
"The reason why your majesty can control the world is to control the army."
"As long as you control the army, Ming will have a foothold."
< br>“Violence cannot solve many problems in the world, but it can make many people in the world fear them.”
"Since the Qin Dynasty, through the Tang and Song Dynasties, the world has begun to control the military with civil servants, and the status of military attachés has continued to decline. From a historical perspective, controlling the army is far easier and easier than controlling many aspects such as economy, politics, and diplomacy. Control."
"But the army is not enough."
"When Emperor Yuan Shun was in power, the Yuan Dynasty still had many armies, but in the end they could not hide their decline and were defeated. Therefore, how to keep the army on the side of the Ming Dynasty is a test of your Majesty's wisdom, and your Majesty actually gave you a solution."
Zhu Yuanzhang blinked and thought to himself.
Control the army.
Today the Ming Dynasty implements the Five Army Governor's Mansion.
The implementation of the guard system.
But the control Xia Zhibai wants is obviously not this kind of control, but that the Ming Dynasty has become decayed, the local people are still willing to believe in the Ming Dynasty's army, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty can still command these armies. Thoughts flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.
It’s just that he never figured out what Xia Zhibai wanted to tell him.
Zhu Biao couldn't think of it either.
final.
Both father and son looked at Xia Zhibai.
"What exactly is the solution?" Zhu Biao asked.
Xia Zhibai said: "The army is a very pure place, and it is also a place that needs to be kept pure."
"In the fifteenth year of Zhizheng, His Majesty began to clean up military discipline, and then gained great popularity. .”
"But it is not enough to become a stable foundation for the world."
"We need to go further."
"The purity of the army cannot only be directed to the superiors, but also to the subordinates and the outside world."
“Only if the army and the people are always close to each other, and the army and the people are in harmony with each other, will the Ming Dynasty always have a chance to make a comeback!”
