However, the happiness of the Tokugawa family did not last long. Watanabeemon, the leader of the secret envoy sent by the Tokugawa Tokugawa, gave Tokugawa a piece of bad news: "Shogun, although there are already many people near Tottori Domain,

Most of the good people and untouchables have been cleared out, but the Ming merchants there have become a big problem. Many untouchables are hiding near the residences of the Ming merchants, and it is very difficult to drive them away now."

Tokugawa Jiaqi's face immediately darkened.

The good people and untouchables of the Japanese country are actually easy to deal with. If you want to be driven out normally, you can expel them normally. Those who are disobedient can be directly dealt with violently. Some low-level good people and untouchables can't make any trouble.

But it won't work if it involves Ming merchants.

Although the businessmen of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be easy to talk to and very polite in doing business, no matter how kind or well-behaved the merchants of the Ming Dynasty were, they were still businessmen of the Ming Dynasty and could not be offended by the shogunate.

Because the merchants of the Ming Dynasty were not subject to the laws of the Japanese country at all, no matter how big the crime they committed, they could only hand them over to the Ming Dynasty Embassy in Japan or the Kyushu Island Governor's Office for processing. The shogunate, let alone a trial, would

They don't even have the right to arrest people.

Moreover, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was famous for protecting his enemies. There were more than one or two cases where the Ming Dynasty dispatched its navy fleet because its people were bullied overseas. Even in the Japanese country, it happened that the Ronin warriors provoked the Ming merchants to the point where Kyushu Island was destroyed.

An example of the garrison coming out to capture the ronin samurai and then displaying their heads in public!

Now that the good people and untouchables of the Japanese country are hiding around the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, what can the shogunate do?

If those Ming merchants were angered and provoked to draw swords against the shogunate, the shogunate would be the unlucky one in the end!

The more he thought about it, the more entangled he became. Tokugawa Jiaqi simply frowned and asked: "Have you ever negotiated with those Ming Dynasty businessmen? Aren't they afraid of being infected with leprosy?"

Watanabe Eemon immediately bowed his head and said: "Sir General, Panasonic has visited those Ming merchants that night, but... but judging from their current reactions, they don't care much about leprosy."

In the era of rampant jabbering patients in later generations, those sons of dogs raised by stupid thieves and hawks always use "what's going on in this country, let's ask the body".

The problem is that Emperor Zhu himself was caught in the doubt of "fixing the body".

What path should Ming take?

Change it to Europa’s so-called separation of powers?

In fact, this kind of thinking can only be thought about. If you really put this method of gameplay in the Central Plains, it would be a big mistake.

It would be too complicated to analyze the specific reasons in depth, but in the final analysis, it is ultimately about interests.

It's your choice.

In fact, this is also the reason why barbarians like Europa and Silly Thief Eagle are generally big-hearted.

Because there has never been a truly unified dynasty in Europe, the barbarians are accustomed to the mentality of a small country with few people, and are also accustomed to the small court system.

The same goes for furry bears - are Bolsheviks good? Good! The key is that human beings have desires!

Of course there is nothing wrong with this kind of gameplay in normal times. After all, even the people in Zhongyuan Tangkou seem to be doing the same, and they don't seem to be any different.

However, once disasters like Xiao Glacier occur frequently, or when the people really cannot survive, the difference between the large and small imperial courts becomes apparent.

The European barbarians who are used to the small court system rely on themselves for everything, and they are also used to the court pulling their hips. However, the people in the Central Plains who are used to the large court system will ask the government to provide disaster relief and disaster relief, and will ask the government to find a way for the people to survive.

The court can pull your hips once or twice, but if you pull your hips again and again, someone may stand up and shout, "Princes, generals, ministers, would you rather have sex?"

Of course, there is another relatively novel angle for reference: the reason why the barbarians in Europa were able to play in the early stage was because the Qing Dynasty was continuously supplying them with blood.

Two small breaking balls were opened for them to suck blood, and when the Qing Dynasty is gone, the small breaking balls will not be opened. At this time, let's look at Europa and the Silly Thieving Eagle?

The people elected by Europa are getting younger and younger, the benefits promised are getting higher and higher, and the people doing things are becoming more and more unreliable. In the land of three islands, there is even a man who only bombs pipelines and gets his pension after taking office.

, the warrior talker who has a shelf life shorter than lettuce.

Of course, Silly Thieving Eagle is not any better than Europa, otherwise classmate Bai Zhenhua would not be on the throne, let alone the big joke that Silly Thieving Eagle's internal film starts with Er Mao.

However, it may not be possible for the Bolsheviks, who also have a large court system, to directly transfer it and use it.

There is a huge hidden danger in directly copying the Bolshevik theory, which is that Ming Dynasty does not have a living environment for that theory.

The reason why Rabbit was able to join the Bolsheviks was because the Qing Dynasty was completely cold at that time. After the bald man took over the Tang Dynasty, he used practical actions to prove that the tricks they learned from the West were not reliable, so Rabbit came to study later.

Mao Xiong joined the Bolsheviks in order to save the country from extinction.

Even when the Qing Dynasty was not yet cool, people were still trying their best to promote that the emperor was wise and loved the people like his own son. Only a small number of officials were at fault. Everyone should look forward to the theory of Mr. Qingtian.

.

Of course, we cannot say that this theory is wrong, because all countries in the world promote it this way.

However, the crux of the problem is that when Qian Deaf and his subordinates were promoting this theory, Qian Deaf also boasted about perfect martial arts. At this time, the Qing Dynasty was not severely beaten by the foreign powers.

We have not finished compensating the British and the Japanese, and we have not finished the shame of Qingdao and Port Arthur.

Therefore, when Emperor Zhu raised the flag of rebellion to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, the people of the world were still willing to believe in the imperial system, so that there was no ground for that theory to survive at that time - if Emperor Zhu's original slogan was not to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, but to directly

According to the theory of distribution according to need, the most likely outcome is not that the world will follow and rebel against the Qing Dynasty, but that everyone in the world will gather around Qian Deaf and help Qian Deaf fight against Emperor Zhu.

Isn't it better to serve the dragon and destroy the thieves than to serve those mud-legged servants wholeheartedly?

At that time, the Central Plains had not yet experienced the pain of imminent complete annihilation of the country and the genocide.

Then, the Ming Dynasty became what it is now - the Ming Dynasty had an emperor, and Emperor Zhu was one of the kind of founding kings that no one could restrict, but the Ming Dynasty also had a cabinet, and the cabinet's rights were no better than those of the emperor.

Small.

Especially when the emperor slowly delegates power, the cabinet can even directly replace the emperor's role.

Because Emperor Zhu directly clarified the status of the cabinet.

This is actually funny to say, because when Zhu Laosi created the cabinet, he used the cabinet ministers as secretaries. Later, after the Second Emperor Renxuan, the power of the cabinet gradually increased.

But power belongs to power. In fact, the rank of the cabinet ministers who can lead the six ministries is not high. The so-called leadership of the six ministries is actually not justified and their words are not smooth. In addition, they are restricted by the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

Now Emperor Zhu has clarified the grades and responsibilities of the cabinet, that is, the chief minister of the cabinet is the first rank, the rank of several other assistant ministers is the first rank, and the ministers of various ministries are the second rank.

Correspondingly, the original six ministries of the Ming Dynasty and the later added Poor Ministry, the Ministry of Railways upgraded from the Railway Department, and many other ministries were clearly placed under the management of the cabinet. Except for the chief and assistant ministers,

The remaining six pavilion elders each have to take care of a bunch of things, and their responsibilities are almost clearly defined.

Juxtaposed with the cabinet is the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces. The chief and assistant ministers of the cabinet can ask about the affairs of the military government, but they are only interfering - they can ask, but they have no decision-making power. The decision-making power of the military government rests with the military government.

In the hands of the governor.

There is not much to say about the Yushitai. Their main duty is to troll people. The emperor, civil and military officials are all the targets they want to keep an eye on.

However, the Yushitai is not under the administration of the cabinet. The person who can really manage the Yushitai is the Yushitai, along with the Metropolitan Procuratorate. These two yamen are not under the administration of the cabinet, but are directly responsible to the emperor.

Among the censors' yamen, except for some of the censors in the capital who are responsible for trolling, the rest are responsible for the responsibilities of prosecutors, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is responsible for both trials and sentencing.

However, the final interpretation power of the Ming Dynasty Law rests with the Ministry of Punishment.

In short, there are all kinds of messy departments, and their responsibilities are very clear. They must not only support each other, but also restrict each other.

Basically, it can be said that having an emperor is of no use, but it is useless without an emperor. Emperor Zhu can naturally bypass the cabinet ministries and even the Fifth Army Governor's Office to do whatever he wants, but the emperors after Emperor Zhu

In addition to being able to supervise and have the right to change phases, it also basically eliminates the possibility of intervening in government affairs.

Want to regain your rights through phase swapping?

First, the Jin Yiwei must find evidence of the crime of the first and assistant minister, and then the Yushitai must initiate an impeachment, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate must convict him.

Cannot be replaced.

The terms of office of the chief ministers and cabinet ministers are fixed, starting from the date they join the cabinet. Each term is five years, with a maximum of two terms. This is the iron rule that Emperor Zhu directly decrees.

No changes allowed.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty Law also emphasizes that the law can be used as long as it does not prohibit it. Incidentally, it has also formulated a lot of suppressive policies against clans and wealthy businessmen. In addition to the protection of ordinary people reflected in the law, there are also

The farmers' association also assumes some responsibilities.

This puts the Ming Dynasty's state system in a very delicate state: it looks very beautiful, and can almost be regarded as a model of a virtual king. Except that there is an emperor, the rest can be regarded as a mess.

It can even be said that it is running in an almost perfect manner.

However, Emperor Zhu knew very well that this kind of perfection was basically bullshit.

Even Rabbit's outfit isn't perfect!

Whether it was the two Ma Su who were killed in tears at the beginning, or whether they were rich first but unwilling to lead the rich later, or even wanted to reach out to the court, these things all exist objectively!

This is also the reason why Emperor Zhu has been delegating power to the court but never relaxed the Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Yushiyumen - the officials of the Ming Dynasty are not that high-minded! If they relax a little, they will

Can dig huge holes!

When he thought of this, Emperor Zhu couldn't help but laugh at himself.

No matter how much I am not a god, how can I possibly solve those long-lasting things?

After laughing at himself, Emperor Zhu simply said directly: "What I want to say today is very simple. The first is to destroy all those green-skinned households. Since none of them are willing to live a good life, then throw them on the construction site.

After a few days of hard life, especially those bastards who run rampant in the countryside and even engage in illegal activities, just drag them to target shooting."

"The second thing is those workshop owners who are not willing to make money but want to oppress the people. Those who deserve to be killed and those who deserve to be exiled. If we let them live free for one more day, I don't know how many people will be oppressed by them.

Disaster."

"There are also those officials who jumped out to commit suicide. I don't need to say more about how to deal with them, right?"

Zeng Cheng, Liu Heming and other elders present knew very well that there was usually no big problem when Emperor Zhu used the word "we" to refer to himself. However, except for the Great Court Meeting, once "I" was used,

"This word probably means murderous intention.

After Zeng Cheng, Liu Heming and other elders bowed in agreement, Emperor Zhu turned his attention to Zeng Cheng again: "Zeng Qing has been prime minister for almost thirty years, right?"

This former magistrate of the Qing Dynasty who had taken the initiative to join Emperor Zhu when he was in Menglianggu, because of his own abilities and his ability to understand Emperor Zhu's instructions and his speed in handling them, he had already become a leader when Emperor Zhu first became emperor.

The chief minister of the Ming Dynasty has been serving for twenty-six years now. The reason for this situation is not that Zeng Cheng was unwilling to resign, nor was it because Emperor Zhu had to keep Zeng Cheng to break his own rules.

Rules, but Emperor Zhu had been what the people call the Holy Emperor for twenty years when he formulated this rule.

In other words, Zeng Cheng, the chief minister, can continue to work for another four years, and then he will have to get out of the position of chief minister. After that, he will no longer be able to hold other positions with real power. He can only be honest.
