Chapter 1111 Wu Sheng
Zhu Yicheng looked at Jiang Jin, and Jiang Jin said, "General Yue led the southwest and worked hard and made great contributions. Now that Yunnan is about to be pacified, I have made outstanding contributions. I think the court should reward him to show his kindness. His subordinates have moved to Yunnan and Guizhou provinces since entering Sichuan. It took more than two years. The court should also be sympathetic. I suggest that the Ministry of War, the Governor's Office, and the General Staff will give meritorious contributions to the meritorious soldiers..."
Speaking of this, Jiang Jin looked at Zhu Yicheng and saw that Zhu Yicheng was not displeased. He continued: "In addition, the resettlement of political affairs in Yunnan is also imminent. Even if the court subsequently wants to use troops to the northwest, stability in the local area is the primary priority. The so-called "soldiers and horses should move forward before they move food and grass, the southwest is not as good as the Central Plains, and the logistics transportation pressure is quite high, so we need to be cautious."
After Jiang Jin finished speaking, he bowed and sat back. Zhu Yicheng felt thoughtful and calmed down in the side hall for a moment.
"It seems that it was right to suppress Jiang Jin back then." Zhu Yicheng thought so in his heart.
Jiang Jin's ability is unquestionable. As a minister of the Dragon, Jiang Jin's qualifications are second only to a few people in the court. The reason why Zhu Yicheng deliberately suppressed Jiang Jin and refused to let him enter the Marine Office was to consider Liao Huanzhi. As the chief civil servant of the military officer, Liao Huanzhi's position in the court was even more stable, and even more than ten thousand people. As Jiang Jin, who was one of the party of Liao Huan, joins the military office, the balance of the military office would inevitably be broken, and even a strong monarch like Zhu Yicheng would be difficult to control.
Unless Zhu Yicheng intends to learn from Zhu Yuanzhang, throw away the heroes like rags if they have used up, raise the butcher's knife and kill Li Shanchang, or Hu Weiyong.
Zhu Yicheng didn't want to do this. The Ming Dynasty is not the Ming Dynasty of the past. The times have changed, and the situations they face are also different. Furthermore, Zhu Yicheng has a complete plan for the future direction of the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty loses its current vitality due to political turmoil, this is the result that Zhu Yicheng is unwilling to see.
Furthermore, Zhu Yicheng came from later generations and was not as cruel as Zhu Yuanzhang. Moreover, he felt that politics could be fought, but could not be solved by such extreme means. This would give the future Ming Dynasty a very bad start.
In addition to this reason, Zhu Yicheng felt that Jiang Jin was too sharp. If he had been allowed to join the military aircraft at that time, it would not be a good thing for Jiang Jin. Moreover, the term of office of the Military Service Department was set by Zhu Yicheng, which is also considered to form a common law in the future to avoid the instability of the imperial power caused by the powerful ministers for a long time.
Therefore, it is beneficial to the future political continuation and stability of Jiang Jin. It is now proved that Zhu Yicheng's original decision was not wrong. Jiang Jin's role in the Military Affairs Office has gradually emerged after he is now acting as the chief.
The suggestion made by Jiang Jingang seemed very ordinary, and it was nothing more than asking the court to properly resettle government affairs in Yunnan and reward meritorious personnel. In addition, Jiang Jin also guessed Zhu Yicheng's thought of never forgetting the northwest, and suggested that if he wanted to use troops to the northwest, he could not act too quickly, and he had to stabilize the rear before he could slowly plan.
But in fact, there is another meaning in Jiang Jin's words, which is to remind Zhu Yicheng to recall Yue Zhongqi at the appropriate time. In Jiang Jin's opinion, although Yue Zhongqi has made great contributions, she has been leading troops as a general over the years. Since invading Sichuan, Yue Zhongqi not only captured a place in Sichuan for the Ming Dynasty, but also commanded the war between Yunnan and Guizhou provinces.
In other words, today, Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan are all captured by Yue Zhongqi. Now, the army directly or indirectly under the command of Yue Zhongqi has more than 100,000 elite troops. At the same time, most of the military forces in these three places are controlled by Yue Zhongqi.
Although Zhu Yicheng trusted Yue Zhongqi very much, and Yue Zhongqi was also showing outstanding military talents and loyalty to the court. However, Jiang Jin thought that this would not be a good thing for the court and Yue Zhongqi personally. Military officials were in charge of the three provinces and had more than 100,000 elite troops. Once they had a strange intention, the southwest would inevitably be in chaos.
Some things must be dealt with in advance, and you must not wait until it is out of control before finding a way to solve them. This is the case with the Three Feudatories of the Qing Dynasty. Isn’t Wu Sangui the lesson of the past? Although Yue Zhongqi is loyal now, who can guarantee that he will not become another Wu Sangui in the future?
Zhu Yicheng had never thought about this question before. After all, Zhu Yicheng is not an ordinary person. Others don’t know Yue Zhongqi. Is he still not clear about it? Zhu Yicheng has high hopes for this famous general in history, and even put him in such an important position with heavy discussions. He is the only general who has won the light.
Now, Jiang Jin's words reminded Zhu Yicheng, which made Zhu Yicheng suddenly think of these problems. After all, people will change. When the power and power in their hands reach a certain level, people's hearts will naturally change.
Isn’t this the case with Zhao Kuangyin, who founded the Song Dynasty? Maybe he never thought at the beginning that he would replace him as the emperor. But when his power reached its peak, even if he didn’t have this idea, wouldn’t there be subordinates who put him on the yellow robe?
Zhu Yicheng didn't want to see this scene happening, nor did he want the famous Yue Zhongqi to betray the Ming Dynasty because of this factor. When Zhu Yicheng thought of this, he made a decision.
"Jiang Qing said very much that Yue Zhongqi has worked hard and made great contributions over the years. Now that Yunnan is about to pacify him, it is time to call him back. I think how can I add the junior security for his achievements?"
"The emperor is wise! General Yue was granted the title of Shaobao and everyone hopes for it. I think it is better to respect his son again to show the emperor's kindness."
"This is reasonable. Just a young security guard does owe him, so he should respect his son as a thousand households." Zhu Yicheng followed the good news and then thought about it and asked, "By the way, I remember that the Martial Saint is Guan Yunchang now?"
"Yes, the emperor." Jiang Jin replied: "After the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, the Martial Saint was re-established, and Guan Yu of the Three Kingdoms was the Martial Saint, and at the same time, his temple was built among the people."
"Guan Yunchang was unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness. It was rare in ancient times, so it was not an exaggeration to be a Martial Saint. However, now it is the world of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty has always regarded Yue Wumu as a Martial Saint. Compared with Guan Yunchang, Yue Wumu revived the mountains and rivers and turned the tide, which was even better. If it weren't for the treacherous ministers in the Southern Song Dynasty who were in power and finally died of regret on false charges, how could the Jin people enjoy the world for a hundred years?"
"A man of the Qing Dynasty called himself the Later Jin after the rebellion, and deliberately demoted Yue Yangguan. His intention can be seen. Now that our Ming Dynasty has restored Shenzhou and reappeared the Han world, we should naturally rectify the chaos and restore the position of Wushu Yue Wumu. In this way, Jiang Qing, you use the military bureau to plan the decree to restore Yue Wumu's position as Wushu, and be ranked alongside Guan Yunchang. Yue Sheng is the left and Guan Sheng is the right, and is listed as two saints. The gods and ministers of each Wushu Temple need to be re-established according to this and to decree the world."
Jiang Jin immediately understood that Zhu Yicheng's intention to do this was very obvious. First of all, just as Zhu Yicheng said, he should rectify the right position of Yue Wumu as a martial saint, and let the world know the story of Yue Wumu's loyal and patriotic.
Secondly, Zhu Yicheng did this because he considered Yue Zhongqi's side. You should know that Yue Zhongqi was a direct descendant of Yue Wumu. Now that he restored Yue Wumu's position as Wusaint is not only to use his feelings to win Yue Wumu close to the court, but also to use this matter to remind Yue Wumu to follow his ancestors and be a loyal minister.
It has to be said that Zhu Yicheng used this trick very cleverly, which not only eliminated the potential hidden dangers that might arise from recalling Yue Zhongqi, but also allowed Yue Zhongqi to return to Beijing to preside over the sacrifice as a descendant of Yue Wumu.
"I understand, I will go to supervise this matter myself." Jiang Jin nodded and responded.
"As for the frontline soldiers' remarks, it is not just the southwest. The soldiers from Liaodong, Shanxi and other places are also fighting for the country, so they should not favor one or the other. The Military Affairs Department holds the Ministry of War, the Governor's Office, and the General Staff to organize the merit remarks reported by each department, verify them one by one and give them a reward. You can ask Zhuang Yan to preside over this matter, and report it to me after the result is obtained."
"I obey the order."
"By the way, Dong Ming is still in Shanxi now?" Zhu Yicheng asked suddenly.
"Reply to the emperor, the emperor has a good memory. Dong Ming has been renamed the Shanxi Supervisor Censor on the same day. It has been a while now."
"He has done a good job in Shanxi for more than a year. Although he is just a censor, Shanxi has a stable situation now, and Dong Ming's achievements are indispensable."
Zhu Yicheng thought about it and said, "The court should reward people for their merits. Dong Ming worked hard on state affairs and made great contributions to stabilizing Shanxi. The situation in Shanxi has settled down and he does not have much effect there. The Military Affairs Department and the Ministry of Personnel have proposed a transfer order. From now on, Dong Ming will be resigned as the inspector of Shanxi and will be appointed as the left governor of Yunnan."
