Chapter 289 The Weakness of the New Deal
The basis of belief is mutual respect.
Looking through the entire history, which warlord's army has combat effectiveness?
Why did the warlords' army have no combat effectiveness?
Because the warlords do not use soldiers as humans and as tools.
The officer cursed the soldiers at will and insulted them.
For example, if you go to work and enter a company where your boss completely disrespects his subordinates, scolds, criticizes, and belittles him in public, and you have the credit for it, all your boss's, and if something goes wrong, you will take the blame.
Are you willing to stay in such a company?
Normal people are unwilling to be with them, and even those who are forced to stay temporarily will not have any favors to the company.
But if you join a company, the leader is strict with you but respects you, helps you when you encounter difficulties, corrects your problems in normal times, and is willing to bear the consequences of the matter with you, and never forgets you if you have any contributions.
Will you be very combat-effective in such a company?
People's hearts are flesh.
For example, the murderous madman Wu Qi loves his soldiers very much. For example, Yue Fei, who cut off his uncle, also cherishes his soldiers very much. For example, Qi Jiguang, who is afraid of his wife, also cherishes his soldiers very much.
The basis of cohesion and belonging comes from respect.
This is true for any team, and so is Li Shimin's team.
The emperor continued: "In the Battle of Liaodong, a total of 52,387 Ming athletes were sacrificed. This is what we said, just a number, but behind this number are living lives."
"I said this to tell you that those are the same people as you."
"What kind of army is a warlike army?"
"It is the army that the general loves soldiers, the army that the marshal respects the general, and the army that the emperor respects his general."
The emperor's tone was very plain, but very powerful, and it immediately entered the hearts of the officers present.
He continued: "There are commanders on the battlefield and judges of the military governor's office responsible for military rules and regulations. I have made a request to you and respect your subordinates!"
Everyone said, "My emperor is wise."
"What other suggestions do you have? You can tell Lords Sun and Lords Li that the Privy Council will have special records. Good military and political affairs need to be established and completed together."
"Okay, you guys continue, I won't disturb you from giving a lecture."
Chongzhen came out of the martial arts lecture hall.
As the top leader, you don’t have to stay there all the time. Staying there will give people a sense of compulsion.
After he came out, he saw Li Yan there.
Li Yan bowed and said, "I will meet your Majesty."
Li Yan was wearing a blue official uniform, looking calm and experienced.
"No gift."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chongzhen said a few simple words in it just now, and he heard them all.
He was very surprised and glanced at Chongzhen without any trace. He only felt the young emperor, giving people a feeling of bathing in spring breeze.
Is this really the emperor who asked Cao Wenzhao to go to Jinling to start a massacre?
If I hadn't seen what Cao Wenzhao did that night, Li Yan wouldn't believe that the emperor would give such an order.
He felt more and more that he could not see through the emperor.
"This cold weather makes you rush back from Nanjing to Beijing. Thank you for your hard work."
Chongzhen walked over and patted Li Yan on the shoulder.
"It's all for your Majesty to share your worries, and I dare not speak up for my hard work."
A cold wind blew, and Chongzhen turned over the horse. He looked ahead and squinted his eyes and said, "I am very satisfied with your performance in Nanjing."
"It's all your Majesty who has the guidance."
"You boy, don't look like a young man at all." Chongzhen smiled.
"I am stupid, what should that young man look like?"
"Young man should be arrogant!" Chongzhen pulled the reins and said, "Let's go and ride with me, I have something to talk to you."
"yes!"
Li Yan turned his horse and followed the emperor all the way forward.
The surroundings were cleared and no one could approach them. Chongzhen said, "What do you have in Nanjing, what are your experiences?"
Li Yan thought for a while and said, "The nobles of the dynasty colluded with officials and made money unscrupulously, so that the country was poor and the people were poor."
Li Yan spoke calmly, but his content was blunt.
"Then what do you think Cao Wenzhao did in Jinling?"
Li Yan's heart was tense.
This is not asking how Cao Wenzhao does things, it is clearly asking the emperor to take measures against Jinling. What do you think?
If this answer is not answered well, it will cause a loss of mind in minutes.
Li Yan said: "In extraordinary times, extraordinary plans are all for the Ming Dynasty. I believe that although the old general Cao has fierce methods, his methods are effective."
"Then do you agree?"
"I agree."
OK, the statement is over.
Chongzhen changed the topic and said, "Where do you think the future of the Ming Dynasty is?"
"Of course it is the new policy that His Majesty has implemented."
"Then what are the good things about the new policy, and what are the bad things about it?"
Damn it!
Li Yan's heart was thrilled, Your Majesty, you say three words to three questions!
Li Yan replied carefully: "The new policy revolutionized the old and established the new, enriched the country and strengthened the army, punished evil and revived the court, and ended the world and clear, and demonstrated Your Majesty's wise, benevolent and kindness, which is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty."
"What about that bad thing?"
"The bad thing is that there is a shortage of talents in the new policy today. Although the National Peking University has the ability to transport talents, it is still not worthy of the truth compared to the old forces. If there is insufficient talents, even if Your Majesty has the ambition to change the world, he will probably be unable to support it alone."
Li Yan is indeed a talented person. He explained the biggest dilemma facing Chongzhen today in one sentence.
In fact, the most difficult thing in reform is to cultivate your own people.
When the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed, many scholars called Zhu Yuanzhang the Ming Dynasty a traitor, and all missed the Yuan Dynasty and were famous scholars.
How did Zhu Yuanzhang do it in this era?
kill?
No, no, Zhu Yuanzhang did not kill these people at that time, but was forced to admit that the Yuan Dynasty was orthodox, but the days had ended.
He was forced to stabilize the scholars because the country was newly established.
It was not until later that the Ming Dynasty opened the imperial examinations, and batches of officials achieved fame and status in the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty and became officials. After changing the blood, those sounds were slowly removed.
So, the same thing, destruction is easy, you just need to raise your butcher knife to overturn the rules.
But what after the overthrow?
If there is no new rules that everyone believes in to appear, the world will return to the chaotic times of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
When that kind of troubled times comes, Yizi really eats each other. You can really see wild dogs eating corpses on the roadside.
How to convince everyone?
Of course, the new policy solves the implementation, solves the problems of most people, and cultivates a large number of people to come out.
Chongzhen said: "You mean you need to add schools?"
In fact, what Li Yan said was exactly what Chongzhen wanted to do now.
"Yes."
“How to do it?”
Zhang Chen knew how to do it himself. He just wanted to ask Li Yan if Li Yan was a suitable executor.
"According to the current situation, we will go in two ways."
"Which two?"
"First, set up public subjects. All local governors and officials must pass the public subject examination. The public subject questions will be issued by His Majesty himself, which must comply with the new policy. After all, the governor is a local personnel appointment official. If their ideas are wrong, they will be wrong."
"Second, expanding universities, the current provinces with the greatest influence in the new policy, including Northern Zhili, Henan Province, Shaanxi Province, Southern Zhili, and Shandong Province, which is very close to Northern Zhili, the provincial governments of these five provinces set up universities, like National Peking University, to cultivate new students. Excellent students from National Peking University will teach and transmit the concept of the new policy."
"What about other places?"
"Don't hurry, take it step by step. The implementation of the new policy must be closely related to the implementation of the new learning. The new policy requires people to implement it. If people are wrong, no matter how good the policy is, it will be in vain."
Now Zhang Chen was completely moved.
Li Yan is exactly the same as his own.
The emperor suddenly changed the topic: "If you were the character Cao Wenzhao at the beginning, would you do it?"
Li Yan found that talking to the emperor was really too oppressive.
Chapter completed!
