Chapter 310 Another attempt to destroy the establishment!
The palace is very quiet.
Except for the crackling sound of the charcoal fire, there was no abnormal sound.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on a high seat, Xia Zhibai's words kept echoing in his mind. Xia Zhibai did not give a way to make the Ming Dynasty last forever. What he gave was a way to preserve the foundation of the Ming Dynasty as much as possible.
If you want to implement this idea, you must change the current system of the Ming Dynasty.
This may be Xia Zhibai's true thoughts.
The army is just starting from the beginning.
Restructure.
That is Xia Zhibai’s purpose.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xia Zhibai and said meaningfully: "We have to say that you are the most cunning and powerful among the many people we have met. Everyone else in the world says Liu Ji, Li Shanchang is full of ideas, but in our opinion, they are not as good as you.”
"You are also braver than them."
"And much bigger!"
Xia Zhibai smiled and said: "Your Majesty praised you."
" I still know my situation, but it is far from severe. I am just more accepting of death."
"I don't think everything in the world can be solved in one battle."
"In the end, it's all just about adapting to changes."
"The world's affairs are only determined by human efforts. When the end of the road is reached, there will be a way. As long as you do it practically and explore and pursue unswervingly, there is only one way. After going through many hardships, even if you get a bloody head, it’s all worth it if you can go back to the source and understand the essence.”
“I don’t like to go back.”
< br>“I don’t like to see the world take a retreat.”
“So I can only rack my brains and try every means to make some attempts.”
"It all depends on people."
"After reading so many history books and reading so many ancient books, there are only two words to govern the world."
"Pragmatic!"
"And I have seen the rise and fall of the world, I have seen enough changes in dynasties, no matter what conspiracy and calculation, martial arts are unparalleled, they all have to rely on force in the end. The financial resources are as prosperous as the Song Dynasty, but under the Mongolian cavalry, won't they also be defeated?"
" I concluded from this.”
"The real anchor of the world is the army."
"It has been so since ancient times."
"It's just that for many people in power, the army is like linen, thrown away after use. Shelved it on the shelf, and then all kinds of vigilance, but completely ignored, when raising troops, known as the justice and integrity of the king's army. From ancient times to the present, almost everyone in the world has underestimated the army."
"They only treat the army. As a violent machine."
"Many people are not aware of it, or they are aware of it, but they don't pay attention to it at all."
"The army has its own unique collective thinking."
"The army is used to eliminate violence and calm the people, to resolve foreign troubles, and to suppress internal strife. It is also the source of trouble for the world in times of chaos. What's more, Directly become a bandit, or simply occupy the mountain and become a bandit. It seems that in the eyes of everyone in the world, the army has only one function. "
"It is to fight! >"Once the war stops, the army will be useless."
"The horses are released in Nanshan and the weapons are stored in the warehouse."
"But just like what I said before, 'The commander-in-chief is here,' do people really expect 'the commander-in-chief'?"
"No."
"What people expect is 'Master Wang'."
"The righteous teacher who brings peace to the world, and the upright teacher who ends troubled times." "Every time the world changes dynasties, there will be strict requirements for military discipline. It is considered to be a manifestation of "winning the hearts and minds of the people," but the people's hearts and minds are only superficial. What the real people support is the army's "love for the people." What they support is an army that can bring peace and stability to the world. "
"Don't Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng have the strength to conquer the world?"
"Yes."
"But they lost."
"The one they lost to was not His Majesty."
“But the people!”
"Zhang Shicheng only had the desire to separatist rule, and Chen Youliang was cruel, so the people did not like him. Only Your Majesty, who has always been known for his kindness and love for the people, won the world with the support of the people, and your Majesty's army was called the King's Division by the world."
“It’s just that after His Majesty took over the world, he returned to the old path of history.”
“I think other things are more important than ‘people’s hearts’.”
“Military discipline gradually fell into disrepair. , and lacked respect for the people."
"So I always said that your Majesty has forgotten his origins."
"Now that your majesty is the emperor, I want your majesty to bend down again and get close to the people who are farming in the fields with hoes. This is no longer realistic, because your majesty and them are destined to be people from two different worlds, and the Ming Dynasty This will be even more true for future generations of emperors. "
"So your Majesty needs to find an 'incarnation'. >"At first glance, your Majesty has many choices, but in fact, there are very few."
"Because the officials, gentry, and merchants of the Ming Dynasty, without exception, were full of evil among the people, and the people may have really praised them. Only Your Majesty and the army known as the 'King's Division' are left."
"So the army is the only choice."
"The army will also be your majesty's 'incarnation' walking in the world."
"Just like when the people of the world regarded your majesty as the 'savior', Regard His Majesty's army as the 'King's Army', the people of the Ming Dynasty will also regard the Ming Dynasty's army as the last conscience of the world, or the last hope of the people for the Ming Dynasty."
"The Ming Dynasty needs it. Change the attributes of the army."
"Redefine the army."
"The army is the children of the people. The army is the work team that fulfills politicians, the bridgehead for building the world, and the vanguard of emergency disaster relief."
"It is no longer just a violent collective, but a wealthy group. A collective with Chinese philosophical thoughts, ideals and ambitions, and moral restraints is the existence that the people truly rely on. They even firmly believe that as long as the army does not change its banner, there will always be a glimmer of hope for the Ming Dynasty. "< br>
“The officials, gentry, etc. of the Ming Dynasty cannot represent the original intention of the Ming Dynasty.”
“Only the army.”
“It must be consistent and firm.”< br>
"The army must stand firmly and resolutely on the side of the people."
"Because they themselves represent the people, and the army is the embodiment of His Majesty's concentrated will. If even the army betrays the people, it means that The emperor of the Ming Dynasty has long abandoned the people, and the Ming Dynasty is no different from the failed dynasties in history."
"When the people are in power and the world goes against the grain, the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed."
“Your Majesty, there is no need to be dissatisfied with this.”
“Because this is the choice made by Ming Dynasty itself.”
"No one else is to blame."
"If the later emperors of the Ming Dynasty could not even control the army under such a centralized situation, and became other people's puppets, or directly became decorations, then Your Majesty would give them It is useless to lay a good foundation, and a prince who cannot even control the army is not worthy of sitting on the throne of the emperor!"
"This is the most basic ability to hold power!"
"I There is only one thing I can do to remonstrate with you today, and that is to do something for the world!”
