Chapter 55 Set up a policy department to start the reform, and Fan Yongdou was murdered as a traitor

"yes!"

Zhang Gui also held Xianghu's words again: "After the reform goals are established, it is time to start researching and formulating which reform policies. The minister believes that it is necessary to establish an official office for formulating policies, as a place to propose, study, and submit corresponding policies to His Majesty. , and appoint a number of policy ministers to be responsible for formulating the corresponding new policy laws."

  Zhang Gui knows that Daming is hard to return now, but he doesn't know whether Daming should put aside the entire civil government and start a new stove, or continue to trust the civil government to carry out internal reforms.

  However, Zhang Gui's plan is to make two-handed preparations.

  On the one hand, he persuaded Tianqi to allow him to engage in industry in Xishan, and by means of industry, he took the way of attracting the bottom-level military and civilians to re-establish a new Ming regime.

   On the one hand, he also persuaded Tianqi to restore Zhang Juzheng's reputation, and supported some civil servants in the civil government who were still willing to innovate to continue to carry out internal reforms.

In Zhang Gui’s view, if the latter can be successfully reformed, he naturally does not need to carry out a bloodbath on the entire civil government and completely eradicate all officials, gentry and landlords after establishing an industry-based organization that implements the Songunism in the future. replaced by a new ruling class.

  And if the latter is unsuccessful, Zhang Gui will naturally have to carry out a more brutal bloodbath on the entire civilian regime in the future.

   It can be said that Zhang Gui’s current support for the reform is actually giving Daming’s existing civil servants a chance, a chance not to be completely bloodbathed in the future.

"Very good! Draw up the decree, set up a policy department, and be on duty in the study room on the left side of the Qinzheng Hall. Yuanfu Han Yu, Jinyiwei Governor Zhang Gui, Chief Lijian Wei Zhongxian, and Denglai Governor Yuan Keli were transferred to Jin. The official of Beijing Rentang and the editor of Hanlin Chen Zizhuang took the original official as the minister of policy."

  Tianqi nodded after hearing this, and gave the order to set up a strategy department.

  Yang Lian hurriedly stood up at this time and said: "Your Majesty, policymaking is the place where policymaking is offered. It involves the outline of the new policy. There should be no internal ministers and foreign relatives involved!"

  Tianqi guessed that there would be opposition, but he did it on purpose, because now he found that if there were honorable relatives and internal officials to check and balance, civil servants would be more willing to obey the will of the emperor in doing things.

After Yang Lian said this, Tian Qi asked directly: "Can't we consult the opinions of the royal relatives and the inner court when it comes to the new coup law? What if the new coup law involves the royal relatives and the inner court?" The policy department is not a governing body, but a place to offer advice, and it cannot be treated as a rule!"

  The emergence of the Department of Planning and Strategy means that the New Deal has taken an important step.

   How to reform the law and how to implement the new policy will continue to depend on what new policies the Department of Policy and Strategy will offer to the emperor.

  However, before Yuan Keli came to Beijing, the Department of Planning and Strategy would not start working, and Zhang Gui didn't have to go here to discuss the new policy. His main energy now had to be on the establishment of a military training school for the emperor.

  In order to organize the Armed Forces School, in addition to Xiong Tingbi, Zhang Gui also recommended Shen Yourong, Ma Shilong, and Li Chengxian as the chief teachers.

  At that time, Shen Yourong, Ma Shilong, Li Chengxian and other chief instructors of the Armed Forces Academy had already arrived in Beijing.

In addition, the civil and military students from all over the world who were called to Beijing to prepare for reference in the military training school and the low-ranking military officers with meritorious service selected from the Beijing camp and the frontier army have basically arrived in Beijing and are preparing to take the exam to enter the school and become the first batch of military officers in the military training school pregnancy.

According to the decree of the establishment of the Military Equipment Academy, all civil and military students from the two capitals and thirteen provinces can come to Beijing to refer to the Military Equipment Academy. In addition, those who have performed well in the Beijing camp and frontier army can also enter Beijing to take the military equipment academy exams .

   Once you become a military officer student in the Armed Forces School, you will be awarded the rank of military officer above the seventh rank directly after graduation.

  The reason why liberal arts students are allowed to refer is because there are so many civil students in Ming Dynasty at present, it is still difficult for many people to become civil servants through careers, but there are quite a few who are willing to become military officials.

   You must know that Yu Dayou, a famous general of the Ming Dynasty, was once a student.

  In order to give these students who want to give up literature and become martial arts a chance, there is no restriction on the difference between civil and martial arts.

  Zhang Gui, Xiong Tingbi, Shen Yourong, Ma Shilong, Li Chengxian, etc. also began to select these students not long after, and finally admitted thousands of civil and military soldiers and Wu Bian as military officer students of the military preparation school.

  During the period when Zhang Gui was preparing for the Armed Forces Academy, Wang Ji and other officials suspected of embezzlement of military pay and project funds were also raided by Dongchang.

  According to Wei Zhongxian's instructions, the Dongchang and Zhenfusi official schools, which had been prepared for a long time, rushed directly to the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry on the day Wang Ji and other corrupt officials were taken away.

  Of course, the mansions of these officials in the capital were also surrounded by the Dongchang Official School which had been ambushed in advance.

  Even these officials have ambushed people from Dongchang and Zhenfusi in advance in their ancestral home in their hometown and other gardens in other places.

  Therefore, Dongchang went smoothly when copying the homes of these people, and copied them thoroughly.

  After all, Dongchang Town Fusi is determined to launch another large-scale house raid this time, and the purpose is to compare Xichang.

  Corrupt officials such as Wang Ji, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Zhang Wenda, Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, Yao Siren, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and Hou Xun, Zhonghou Xun of the Ministry of Military Affairs were also escorted to the Pichang Temple, waiting to be executed.

  In addition, Fan Ming and Fan Yongdou, the sons of Shanxi merchants, were also taken to the execution ground for committing the crime of traitor, waiting to be cut.

  However, before being taken to the execution ground, Fan Ming and Fan Yongdou collapsed on the spot after seeing the kneeling statue of them made in the public toilet of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Fan Ming directly knelt down on his own, and begged the cell boss: "Master, please tell the higher-ups, don't do this, we know we are wrong, we really know we are wrong! How can we take it upon ourselves to insult us like this, woo Woo! I'm afraid I've become a ghost, and I'll be ridiculed by other ghosts in the underworld, after all, no rebellious thief is humiliated like this!"

"Stop making so much noise! ​​I'm full, will I send a message to some of you who are guilty of traitors? The imperial decree clearly says that you are doing this to collude with the Tartars to enslave all Han people in the world. I don't care. You are also a Han Chinese, why should you spread the word for you **** who want to enslave Lao Tzu?"

  The prison cell scolded Fan Ming.

  Fan Ming and other Shanxi merchants had no choice but to accept this severe punishment.

   Not long after, these Shanxi merchants were taken to the execution ground to be cut.

"ah!"

   "It hurts!"

   These profiteers screamed in pain when they were executed.

  The common people looked at Fan Yongdou and others who were cut, and most of them didn't know what was going on, so they asked each other what law these people had committed.

The Xichang plainclothes who were arranged by Zhang Gui among the people to inquire about various sources of information and secretly develop Xichang offline and guide the people to awaken their national consciousness, when asked by some people, they took the initiative to explain: "It is said that these people committed traitors. Sin is the latest punishment promulgated by the emperor, and it is heavier than treason!"

   "Then what is the crime of traitor?"

   Many people asked with great interest.

The Xichang plainclothes also replied: "It is not only betraying His Majesty, but also betraying the Han people all over the world, trying to collude with the Tartars to enslave the Han people all over the world, for example, let people like us be their slaves for a lifetime, and then be their slaves for the rest of their lives." Bully."

"I bother!"

  After hearing this, a commoner couldn't help spitting at Fan Yongdou and others who were cut, and said: "Then these people really deserve to die!"

   "That's right, **** it! If you want us all to be slaves, it's simply worse than beasts!"

  The common people began to gradually understand the reason for the crime of traitor.

  …

   "What did you say, Jin merchants were copied?!"

  Boom!

  Li Yongfang, the first traitor who surrendered to Jiannu, was also the first high-ranking military official of the Ming Dynasty to surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Now he has been trusted by Nurhachi, married the daughter of Jiannu's clan, and became the queen son-in-law.

  Li Yongfang has been in charge of contacting and colluding with the internal forces of Ming Dynasty on behalf of Houjin. Before that, he had successively attacked Wang Huazhen who had been deceived by pretending to belong to Ming Dynasty, and finally succeeded in helping Nurhachi capture Guangning.

   It's just that Li Yongfang didn't expect that the Shanxi merchants who had been in charge of secretly contacting and smuggling all kinds of important materials for Houjin would be copied just after he helped his master get Guangning.
