    "Keep talking."

    After listening to the two central points mentioned by Liu Jin, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt enlightened. At first, he was still confused and a little overwhelmed by the upcoming great era.

    But now, after listening to Liu Jin¡¯s explanation of the two central points, Emperor Hongzhi had an idea and knew how to get there.

    As long as you work around this central point, no matter how big the territory is, no matter how many people and tribes there are, there is no need to panic, because everything is under control.

    ¡°The third center is the unremitting implementation of centralization of power.¡±

    Liu Jin nodded slightly and continued to speak slowly.

    "The larger the Ming Dynasty's territory and the more tribes it rules, the more it must insist on centralization of power. The so-called centralization of power should include four aspects: politics, military, finance and resources."

    Hearing Liu Jin talk about centralization of power, everyone immediately pricked up their ears. There is still history to learn from in this regard.

    The history of China is actually a history of centralized power.

    Starting from the enfeoffment of princes by the Emperor of Zhou, then the reunification of the Qin and Han Dynasties, and then slowly to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui, Tang, Yuan and Song Dynasties, the whole process was a process of continuous centralization of power.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????? away

    It was Shang Tang who overthrew Xia. Shang Tang was the tribal leader of Fang State. King Wu of Zhou who overthrew Shang was also a powerful prince.

    During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, all the countries in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were originally vassals of the Zhou Dynasty. Like the State of Qin, they used to herd horses for the Emperor of Zhou. Because of their merits in resisting the Rong and Di, they were granted the title of vassal, as well as the Qin State.  The Kingdom of Chu, the Kingdom of Korea, the Kingdom of Wei, etc. were also all feudal lords entrusted by the Emperor of Zhou.

    The princes had too much power, and they were the emperors of the feudal states, so they had the strength to overthrow the central dynasty. Of course, in the final analysis, it was because there was something wrong with the ruling central dynasty, so we took advantage of it.

    By the time of the Han Dynasty, a large part of the demise of the Han Dynasty was due to the fact that the power of the aristocratic clans was too strong. They almost monopolized the power from the central to the local level, thus eclipsing the power of the emperor.

    This is clearly reflected in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. The frequently changing dynasties were basically the leading generals who frequently sought to usurp the throne. The basis of these leading generals was still the family members.

    Until the establishment of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the power of the family clans has been very strong. In order to centralize power in the Central Plains, the emperors of the Sui and Tang Dynasties spared no effort to attack the clan clans.

    The power of the aristocratic clans was weakened, but the power of local Jiedushi became unprecedentedly strong, forming a separatist regime of vassal towns, which eventually led to the demise of the Tang Empire.

    In the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms after the Tang Dynasty, dynasties changed frequently, also due to the separation of vassal towns. Song Taizu was a general who wore a yellow robe and usurped the throne.

    Feeling that the separatism of vassal towns in the past dynasties, the attempts of aristocratic clans and warriors to usurp the throne, and the melee wars led to the change of dynasties, Song Taizu began to continuously strengthen the centralization of power, emphasizing civility over military affairs.

    The entire process and history is actually a history of continuous strengthening of centralization.

    So as we get to the later stages, all the powerful forces such as clan clans and vassal towns have been eliminated, and the change of dynasties will not lead to the phenomenon of military generals seeking to usurp the throne.

    However, due to the emphasis on culture over military power, China's power to attack the aristocratic clans was also weakened by China's external power. Whenever the central dynasty weakened and perished in the later stages of a dynasty, it was often the time of foreign invasion, and  The success rate of foreign invasions is getting higher and higher.

    Taking the Song Dynasty as an example, the Liao, Xixia, Jin, and Mongolia all pushed the Song Dynasty to the ground and rubbed it against each other. In the end, they were destroyed by the Mongols, while the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by the Qing Dynasty.

    Is it because these foreigners have really become stronger that they can move into the Central Plains?

    Obviously not. The real reason is that the Han people's military power was completely wiped out because they valued culture over military force. By the end of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, those who rebelled were just idiots who did not have any culture or knowledge at all.  With military literacy, it is really difficult to succeed.

    In the past dynasties, due to the inheritance of family clans and the equal emphasis on civil and military affairs, the Han people's military force always existed. Therefore, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, any prairie man who could be beaten by anyone screamed and defended the Central Plains. During the Three Kingdoms period, even  The war between the Three Kingdoms was in full swing, but foreigners still did not dare to think of taking over the Central Plains.

    &nbspIn terms of the source of the army, we can no longer recruit troops from just one place like previous dynasties. Instead, we should recruit troops from all provinces and places throughout the Ming Dynasty, and allocate quotas uniformly based on the population of each place.  "

    "The soldiers raised in a unified manner will be trained and managed in a unified manner. In this way, there will be no excessive concentration of soldiers in one place, and the concentration of military power will naturally be strengthened."

    After listening to Liu Jin¡¯s words, Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but light up.

    In the past, I just thought that the army would have the final say, and that the tiger talisman for dispatching troops and generals would be in my own hands.

    ??Now it seems that there is great knowledge here. What Liu Jin talks about is the true centralization of power, designing all aspects. In this way, the military power can always be firmly controlled in the hands of the emperor.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
