Ming Dynasty: Teaching The Prince Dragon-Slaying Skills At The Beginning

Chapter 308: Zhu Yuanzhang’S Back-Up Arrangements To Protect The Prince In Xia County [Please Subscr

After giving Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes time to digest and absorb, Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and continued:

"During the three years of magistrateship, you can only select three people from your respective royal palaces to follow you to the county and serve as county magistrates, chief registrars and magistrates.

"And when you become the governor of the state, you will be able to select seven people from the officials of your respective palaces to follow you to the state to serve."

"In other words, the further you go, the larger the area you govern, and the more royal officials you can mobilize to help you manage the place.

"And if you are not satisfied with the subordinate officials you have chosen, then you can only wait until you return to the capital once a year to report on your duties before you can re-select new subordinate officials among your royal officials to assist you.

"So in the early stage, it can be said that it is crucial for you to choose what kind of subordinate officials to help you manage a place!"

"A good and capable subordinate officer can help you quickly open up the situation, and then start to assist you in governing a place and developing political achievements."

"A bad and incompetent official will become a drag on you and put you in a difficult situation of being restricted by local subordinates.

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of Zhu Biao's prince Zhan Shifu.

Princes such as Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, etc. all have their own royal palace officials, and these royal palace officials are all under the names of various vassal kings.

Therefore, the number or lack of these royal officials, and whether they were transferred or not, had no impact on the court.

But Zhu Biao is different!!!

Because Zhu Biao was previously appointed as the prince, he and Zhu Biao shared the same political team.

In other words, all the civil and military officials in the DPRK now hold official positions in the Prince Zhan Shifu.

For example, Xu Da, Duke of Wei, was the prince's young master. In terms of affiliation, Xu Da could also be said to be one of the officials subordinate to the prince Zhan Shifu.

This is what if Zhu Biao selected a prince like Xu Da or a minister like the current Hubu Shangshu as his subordinate official to govern the area of ​​Yukang.

Not to mention whether it is fair to other princes at that time, it will also affect the current government affairs, and it is an overkill!

So after thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and said:

"Biao'er, among the officials in your Zhan Shifu, you can only choose officials with the highest rank of fifth grade~~"

Officials with the rank of fifth grade, whether they are low or low, or high or high.

Even if three were taken away by Zhu Biao, it would not have a big impact on the existing government operations, and it would not be considered unfair by other bases.

"Well, I understand, Father."

Zhu Biao nodded and said calmly.

In fact, even if Zhu Yuanzhang didn't tell him, Zhu Biao would not select officials with too high official ranks.

At least when he was governing a county, he would definitely not choose officials like the Minister of Household Affairs and the Minister of Personnel.

An excellent Minister of Household Affairs and Official Affairs does not mean that they can still perform well when serving the responsibilities of a county.

Because officials like Liubu Shangshu sit too high and see too far, too broad, and too broad. They are stronger than other officials, and more importantly, they must have the ability to see the overall situation of the country!

If we use an analogy, like the civil and military officials in the capital, they are responsible for the formulation of a country's national affairs, national policies, strategies, etc., and they control the general direction.

The local magistrates, prefects, prefects, and chief envoys are responsible for the implementation of these national affairs, national policies, strategies, etc. in small places.

The division of labor and responsibilities between the two are not the same, so if it comes to the detailed governance of a county, an official at the level of a sixth minister may not necessarily be able to compare with a Zhengqipin county magistrate who has been immersed in it for many years.

"During the first three years of your tenure as county magistrate, we will assign each of you a 500-strong Imperial Guard and a two-liter Hundred-War Imperial Guard."

"On the one hand, the most important responsibility of these two thousand five hundred people is to protect your safety, and on the other hand, they are also completely obedient to your orders.

"No matter what you ask them to do, they will do their best to complete it after ensuring your life safety first."

"However, the food, accommodation, and salary of these two thousand five hundred people will also need to be supported by you after you have served as magistrate for half a year."

"In addition, we will also give you a troop deployment order from the local guard station. With this troop deployment order, you can mobilize up to 10,000 troops!"

"However, this transfer order can only be used once a year, and you need to give us a detailed reason for the transfer after each call!"

"Once we discover that you are using this troop deployment order indiscriminately, then you will never be able to use this troop deployment order again in the future."

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.

Those 2,500 people were one of his back-up men for the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes.

There are five hundred elite Jinyi Guards, plus two thousand Imperial Guards who have survived many battles. This strength is enough for the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes to push for a county magistrate.

And if you want to annihilate such a small army of 2,500 elites, it would take several times the energy of the same Shang Zhan Yusheng to encircle and suppress it.

Even if someone really could mobilize nearly ten thousand elites to surround and kill the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes without his knowledge.

Then the troop deployment order with a maximum limit of 10,000 people is his second back-up.

Only one of the 2,500 Jinyi Guards and Imperial Guards could break out and resist for less than half an hour.

So with the troop deployment order with an upper limit of 10,000 people, 10,000 local guardsmen can be mobilized to support them.

At that time, there will be 2,500 Jinyi Guards and Baizhan Imperial Guards inside, and 10,000 local guardsmen outside, attacking from both inside and outside [No matter how powerful the rebels are, they will still be surrounded and suppressed.

If this can't resist the rebels, then there are 12,500 people.

At least it can save the lives of Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, so that they can break out of the encirclement.

But if we say that within the Ming Dynasty, under the control of Zhu Yuanzhang, there are still people who can do it without his knowledge.

He mobilized tens of thousands of elite soldiers from hundreds of battles to surround and kill the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, and even accomplished his mother-in-law's goal of annihilating 12,500 soldiers.

Then he, the great emperor of tomorrow, doesn’t have to do anything anymore!!!

Below, the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes heard Zhu Yuanzhang say that they had arranged for them a 2,000-strong Hundred Battles Guards and 500 elite Jinyi Guards.

They even gave them an extra place that could be called once a year. After the troop deployment order for ten thousand people was given, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Just have soldiers!!!

This is the only good news they have heard so far among the many arrangements for "Prince's Lower County".

They have not forgotten the teachings in Yan Changqing's "Dragon Slaying Technique":

Soldiers are fists, and fists are power!!!

As long as they have military power in their hands, they are confident that they can truly hold the power of the local magistrate in their hands (good for King Qian).

It's not like they did nothing during the past half month.

At least when discussing with a number of royal officials, they all came to the conclusion that local subordinates would be a big problem for them in governing the place.

As the saying goes, the king of hell is easy to deal with, but the devil is difficult to deal with. The subordinate officials in these places are those difficult devils!

It is not an easy task to solve and persuade these local subordinates and make them obey their own driving and do their best for themselves.

This is especially troublesome when princes like them go to the county and don't have many resources to mobilize.

But now that we have military power, it will be much better. If we can't communicate with the subordinate officials in those places, they can directly come to fight.

Anyway, either by reason or by force, there is always a way to make local subordinates obey them.
