Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 451 Reduction of talents without sticking to one pattern (second update)
The plan arranged by Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, all fell through.

In order to guard against the Mongolian Lin Danhan, Ma Chengxi, the general soldier of Datong, did not send troops easily, and the deputy general Jiang Xiang also did not send troops because he was guarding against the Mongols.

Those cavalrymen of the Ordos tribe who were subdued by He Jinchao strolled around outside the Great Wall, and Zhang Zongheng lost his temper all of a sudden.

He couldn't tell which tribe the Mongols outside the Great Wall belonged to, whether they belonged to the right wing or the left wing of Mongolia.

He can only judge whether this group of people is Lin Danhan's vanguard, and whether Lin Danhan will attack Datong Mansion as he did in the previous two years.

Regarding the plan to encircle and suppress He Jinzhao this time, and he heard that a large number of rebels from Shaanxi entered Jin Dynasty, and formed 36 battalions, led by King Zijin Liang himself, with a size of 20 people.

Zhang Zongheng immediately became serious.

He can't fight by himself, so he must ask the imperial court for reinforcements.

He Jinchao called in 20 reinforcements, and the court would have to send 6 to [-] troops, so that everyone could feel confident.

At this moment, there was another quarrel in the capital over the matter of additional dispatch.

Bi Ziyan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, listed ten major issues and put forward remedial measures, asking Chongzhen to pay attention to the situation where every family is hanging over the cauldron.

Please reduce the world's taxes as appropriate so that the common people have the savings to rise up.

Although Bi Ziyan was good at economics, calculated carefully, and worked hard to support the Ming Dynasty's finances, and when the Jurchen Tartars ravaged the capital, his tired face was swollen as big as a bucket, and he vomited blood, which moved Chongzhen very much.

Of course, he was moved, but Chongzhen could not accept the opinions put forward by his "economist".

How can the court put down the rebellion without money?

Where does the money come from?
We can only increase taxes, and compensate the ordinary people after the suffering of the common people is settled down.

Chongzhen was completely disappointed with Yang He's appeasement policy. The toughness of Hong Chengchou and other main suppression factions made him only want to use force to calm the world.

In addition, Shen Yikui rebelled directly after only being recruited for a month, regardless of whether Hong Chengchou forced him to kill him or not.

Chongzhen lost all face, publicly said that the thieves were rampant, that the evil was wronged, and the good was killed, and then the responsibility was all pushed onto Yang He.

After all, he wrote a personal letter to Governor Yang He of the three sides before, asking him to take a camera to ask for safety, which is what I mean.

After the responsibilities of his subordinates were clearly divided, Chongzhen directly ordered Yang He to rule the whole of Shaanxi, what power to do.

But listen to the rogue bandits who are rampant and can't be wiped out. They live in charcoal, and they are a great burden to entrust.

He was dismissed from his post, and the guard in Jinyi became an official flag, and he came to Beijing to inquire about it.

The lack of staff is recommended to be used. I think Hong Chengchou is good, so Zhang Fuzhen was moved to be the governor of Yansui.

Aunt Lianguo is demoted to three ranks, and he is punished and exterminated to redeem himself. If he is still playing tricks, he will be severely punished.

Yang He, the governor of the three sides, was dismissed from office and was about to step up his imprisonment, which completely declared the Ming court's policy of changing from recruiting to exterminating the rebel army.

In fact, Yang He didn't just advocate consolation blindly, but he fought for a while and did both.

But it was because the robbers and bandits who entered Shanxi became bigger, and they all came to Yang He's connivance.

In the hearts of the main suppression faction, Yang He became the chief culprit and the target of public criticism.

Whether it is the thinking of Chongzhen or the main suppression faction, they feel that Yang He's failure is a failure of policy.

But the root cause of Yang He's failure was not that the awareness of the rebel army had risen to the point where they would not compromise with the Ming court, but because of the contempt, stinginess and short-sightedness of people like Chongzhen.

In addition, Hong Chengchou killed the leader of the rebel army who surrendered at every turn, which made them unable to trust the court.

At the same time as the policy was issued, in order to train warriors, Chongzhen wanted to revitalize martial arts.

The Ming Dynasty always valued literature over martial arts, and the social status of martial arts students and martial arts could not be compared with that of liberal arts scholars and scholars.

Moreover, after passing the martial arts examination, they are only awarded military positions as appropriate, and are not given the title of Jinshi.

When the world was full of swords and soldiers and military talents were urgently needed, Chongzhen felt that the system of military elections should also be changed.

In Chongzhen's four-year martial arts examination, only Xu Yanqi and Wang Laipin were able to wield a hundred catties of swords in the martial arts examination. However, Xu Yanqi was not selected because of poor performance in the literary examination when the list was released.

Chongzhen was very annoyed when he learned of this situation. The military situation in the world is urgent, and it is time to need generals, but the main examiner is still stubborn in the old rules of emphasizing literature over military, and the selection of warriors is actually based on articles.

Two dog things!
He arrested Yang Shifang and Liu Bida, the two ministers of Zhan Shifu who were in charge of the examination, and sent them to prison for reflection. At the same time, he ordered the re-examination.

This practice will become a regular practice in the future, and the martial arts test will focus on the martial arts of sword, horse riding and archery, supplemented by diction.

In order to improve the status of martial arts, Chongzhen also decided to add palace exams after martial arts exams starting this year.

Like liberal arts, pilot test candidates are awarded the honors of Jinshi Jidi, Jinshi origin, and Jinshi origin.

Another Wang Laipin who could wield big swords became the first military champion of the Ming Dynasty, and was immediately awarded the rank of lieutenant general (second only to the chief military officer in the military ranks).

Even if one can be good at swordsmanship and good at shooting arrows, he may not be a real general. What's more, the examinations in the martial arts field have been cheating for many years, and the management is lax.

Even though Chongzhen ordered it to be held again, the military election trial was a mess.

In the second infantry test, there was a strong wind blowing, and very few shots were shot, so the proctor suggested that anyone who hit one arrow would be considered a pass.

The scene of the riding and archery test was even more astonishing. Many people let the servants lead the horses to run to the target, and put the arrows on the target with their hands.

How can such martial arts fight against the enemy?

It doesn't matter, as long as you pass the exam.

During the reign of Chongzhen, there were occasionally one or two generals who could fight, most of them were from the army, and few of them started from martial arts and martial arts.

This reform of the martial arts test also had no effect at all.

But Chongzhen himself felt that this move was quite effective, because he believed that this wave of people were all tested with real knives and guns.

So we have to send these people to the battlefield, and look forward to their brilliant performance on the battlefield.

At that time, he will wait for the good news of this group of Wu Jinshi to reach the capital.

In terms of the style of employing people, Chongzhen did have some eclectic characteristics.

Moreover, it has been exploring non-conventional ways to recruit talents through imperial examinations, Cilin, and Kedao.

He has been trying a new set of employment methods such as emphasizing both literary and military talents, emphasizing both imperial and foreign officials, and emphasizing both imperial and foreign officials.

Judging from the disadvantages of the Ming Dynasty's system of selecting officials and employing personnel, his thinking is still very correct.

But he himself actually lacks the ability to make overall arrangements and carry out system reforms, and he is self-righteous!
There has never been a well-organized team to make a thorough plan, but to issue orders at will based on the impulse of the moment.

He seldom conducted a careful examination of all kinds of talents who were used outside the rules, let alone long-term training.

And once the impression changes, it is very easy to dismiss.

Therefore, Chongzhen employs a lot of people and employs people in a wide range of ways, but there are few really useful talents.

Yang He was so superior that he was dismissed from office, and Hong Chengchou, the Northwest murderer, was also so superior!
