Chapter 117 The Ultimate Significance of Rebellion
Things on the battlefield Yun Zhao rarely personally instructs generals on how to fight.
He believed in his generals and his soldiers.
At this point, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were very satisfied with the emperor's approach.
But Yun Zhao himself knew that compared to Jun Lue, he was inferior to Li Dingguo, inferior to Sun Chuanting, inferior to Hong Chengchou, inferior to Gao Jie, and even inferior to those Yun family generals who had been fighting on the front line all year round.
Therefore, after strengthening the supervision system and emphasizing the role of lieutenants, the operational power was completely handed over to the generals.
This is true for the navy, the army, and the river navy.
Yunzhao has always stubbornly believed that the army should not participate in domestic governance, so he issued an order in August to rename all government officials as police officers and select local regiment officers who are brave and good at fighting. The name was changed to the Armed Police Force.
The Lantian Imperial Court’s military operations target the frontier and outside the territory.
The duty of the armed police force is to be responsible for the stability of major cities and even state capitals in the country.
As for the police, the focus is on local security, as well as the investigation and solving of cases.
Yun Zhao generously handed over the management of the police to the Prime Minister's Office, and allowed the Prime Minister's Office to conditionally dispatch certain armed police forces to help if the application was approved by the emperor. Intervene in the government's power to regulate local security.
Among these three military organizations, the one with the strongest strength, the best equipment, and the largest number of people is undoubtedly the Royal Army. The armed police force comes next, and the police again.
When Zhang Guozhu got the armed police management methods and the methods for establishing police agencies drawn up by Yun Zhao, he was a little surprised.
He was not surprised why Yun Zhao established such an organization. He was surprised by the clear ideas of the regulations drafted by Yun Zhao in the documents, the clear methods and regulations, and the organizational structure of both of them was very strict.
It doesn’t look like two start-up structures at all. It looks more like two departments with very mature operations. He even feels that these two regulations do not need to be discussed or put into trial operation at all, and they can be taken directly. Just come and use it.
Yun Zhao even believed that Buck Yaping could serve as the first governor of the armed police force.
At this time, the imperial court and the Prime Minister's Office had long become two government organizations, and most of their daily communication relied on various documents.
The opportunities for Zhang Guozhu and Yun Zhao to meet are no longer as frequent as before.
As for the establishment of the armed police force and police organization, Zhang Guozhu still felt that it was necessary to discuss it face to face with Yun Zhao before submitting it to the National People's Congress for review and approval.
When I went there, His Majesty the Emperor was watching his two sons writing under the tree.
The princes of Lantian Imperial Court only have the title of prince, which is their title. They have no actual power until the state authorizes them.
So, cloudZhang, Yun Xian stood up obediently and saluted, and called out "Uncle Zhang."
Zhang Guozhu lowered his head and looked at the words written by the two children, frowned and said: "The foundation is not stable, it needs more work." Practice more."
Yun Zhang, Yun Xian accepted it humbly. Seeing that Uncle Zhang had something to say with his father, he went to the study with pen, ink, paper and inkstone and continued to practice calligraphy.
Yun Zhao looked at the backs of his two sons with a smile and said to Zhang Guozhu: "You and Yun Jin have been married for three years, why are you just a daughter? You should work hard."
Zhang Guozhu said angrily: "Your Yun family's daughter is famous all over the world for giving birth to girls, but you still have the nerve to complain about me?"
Yun Zhao spread his hands and said: "Isn't it you? Gao Jie gave birth to four children in one breath. , three boys and one girl, Han Lingshan and Yunxia also gave birth to a son and a girl, but you are of low ability.
Let me tell you, when it comes to having a boy or a girl, it mainly depends on the man, not the woman. . People are just a piece of land, but you sow the seeds."
Zhang Guozhu was not used to discussing his Fangzhongshu with Yun Zhao, so he changed the subject and said, "You have already thought about the armed police force a lot. Has it been a long time?"
Yun Zhao nodded and said: "The army is the foundation of the country. There are no weapons and weapons in the warehouse. When the horses are released in Nanshan, for the army, any time and place are battlefields. .
However, we cannot let all the troops remain like this. The bowstrings are too tight and can easily break. Therefore, I am going to reduce the responsibilities of the troops and let them devote all their efforts to research. Characteristics of foreign military operations and how to defeat foreign armies.
The army can be murderous, but the domestic people cannot be murderous. What the people pay attention to in their lives is stability.
So, It is necessary to establish an armed police force adapted from regiment training.
As you can see, most of the military duties they perform are mainly for defense, and most of them have undergone certain training. It is composed of trained common people and has a high affinity with the common people, which is convenient for maintaining domestic order."
Zhang Guozhu nodded and said: "It sounds reasonable. It depends on whether it can pass the National People's Congress meeting."

Yun Zhao looked at Zhang Guozhu with a smile and said: "Is there any problem?"
Zhang Guozhu sneered and said: "The current committee representatives are either from your Yun clan, or from the same clan. Your Yun family has a marriage, or you bought it with forty pounds of millet and raised it.
At this time, it’s natural to say whatever you want, but I warn you, you want to make a plan. You have to speed up the rules of this country. Once this group of people retreats, you may not be able to say what you say in the country.
Society will eventually continue to develop, and heroes will be involved in this process. Heroes will emerge one after another. To be honest, there are still problems with your Yun clan’s ability after all. I even believe that within twenty years, a large part of your Yun clan will be replaced due to ability problems.
You need to strengthen the education of your Yun clan members and not let them lie downA lifetime of ancestral merit will be recorded in the merit book.
Unless you want nepotism. "
Yun Zhao laughed and said: "I am only twenty-four years old this year, and I am as delicate as a flower. It is too early for you to ask me to prepare for a rainy day. ”
Zhang Guozhu said: “Being reasonable, being reasonable is very important. Perfectly unifying personal interests with the public interests of the country, and finally reaching a complete and satisfactory system level, this is a test of your ability.”
Yun Zhao looked at Zhang Guozhu and said, "The war in the Ming Dynasty has finally subsided. Are you happy?" "
Zhang Guozhu said: "I still don't understand why you are so cruel to those insurrectionists like you.
I thought you would take those warlords who represent the gentry class as your confidants, but I didn’t expect that whether it was Huang Degong, Li Yan, Er Li, or He Tengjiao of Guangxi, they would all beheaded without discrimination.
Now, the wine bowls made from human skulls in Tushan Memorial Hall should be enough for you to hold a feast, right?
Yun Zhao sighed and said: "These people can't stay. If the world is peaceful, it should look like the world is peaceful. I will not designate whose heads will be used as wine bowls in the future."
To be honest, I hate the brutal imperial court, but I also hate those people who rise up and rebel just because they slap their heads.
As a government official, you have to consider the national economy and people's livelihood. As a rebel, if you can't give the people a better life, don't rebel.
Rebellion must also consider cost-effectiveness. We must consider how to rebel on the basis of killing fewer people and destroying society. We cannot recruit a group of people to rebel by killing people with knives.
If you are killing corrupt officials, I have no problem with local tyrants and evil gentry.
However, you cannot fulfill your personal ambitions by killing innocent people. In the future, if there are such people again, I will kill every one I see. "
Zhang Guozhu said quietly: "What if someone kills our corrupt officials, local tyrants and evil gentry? "
Yun Zhao looked at Zhang Guozhu and said: "Then replace your incompetent Prime Minister. "
Zhang Guozhu nodded and said: "That's good, at least the emperor is not wrong. "
Yun Zhao said angrily: "I gave up government affairs, wasn't it just to avoid making mistakes? "
Zhang Guozhu smiled and said: "I try not to make mistakes.
Yun Zhao looked at Zhang Guozhu with disdain and said: "Do you think the world is so big that it is possible for officials to only do the right things and not do the wrong things?" "
Zhang Guozhu ignored Yun Zhao's disdainful tone and said calmly: "As long as the regulations are detailed enough, it is not difficult to do the right thing. What is rare is to do things that are beneficial to the people.
Official administration ensures the lower limit of the government, not the upper limit. As for the upper limit, it is related to the ability and conduct of officials. ”
After hearing what Zhang Guozhu said, Yun Zhao was very satisfied. The biggest advantage of this person is not that he is willing to endure hardships and is willing to take the blame for the emperor.It's because he has formed a set of theories about how he should behave in the world.
This is not easy. It is the highest expression of political maturity.
From his words, Yun Zhao heard many things. Among them, the most obvious one was that Zhang Guozhu was not a vegetarian. He would not tolerate or condone the mistakes of his subordinate officials.
It is inappropriate to talk about the political concept of serving the people at this time. The people have not yet adapted to the most basic thing of not bowing to an official. No one probably believes that officials are public servants of the people. Yes, even Yun Zhao himself didn’t believe it.
When he served as a grassroots official a long time ago, Yun Zhao, who had accepted the concept of equality for many years, did not recognize this concept from the bottom of his heart. Officials accepted it was a joke.
Yunzhao's efforts to completely transform this society with the help of Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong are actually only half completed. This half is north of the Yangtze River, while social transformation in the south of the Yangtze River still has a long way to go.
As he became the emperor, he personally faced the severe social reality. Yun Zhao began to understand many of the puzzling behaviors of that great man in later generations. All his actions were actually for one goal - - Transform society, enhance the dignity of the people at the bottom, and let all rich, powerful, and educated people stand on the same starting line as ordinary people.
This process is bloody and not recognized by some people. However, when measured on the scale of history, we will find that that period of time was a relatively fair period for human society.
Giving ordinary people a new starting point is what Yunzhao is currently doing.
If you can't keep up, there's really nothing you can do...
And this is the meaning of the existence of the new dynasty and the ultimate meaning of rebellion.
