Xinshun 1730

Chapter 225 Provisional Institutions

The quarrel was still going on, and the emperor, as the arbiter, had a bias in his heart. The result of this court discussion, at least in the general direction, had already been determined.

At the beginning, the strategy of recruiting Huibu farmers south of the Tianshan Mountains was rejected, so they were destined to immigrate as Han Chinese, otherwise they would have spent so much money for nothing.

This meant that the resistance to abolishing the old army and supervising the new army was not so great. Anyway, they had to emigrate, and the abolished soldiers could be used for emigration.

On the other hand, if it had been decided to recruit the Hui tribe farmers south of the Tianshan Mountains for reclamation, or if Liu Yu had not used Junggar's hand to kill the "Sayyeds" of the Black Mountain and White Mountain factions, perhaps it would have been possible to control the Mongolian , Juji ruled.

Li Gan couldn't help laughing when he saw the posture of a pack of hungry wolves besieging a tiger in the court hall.

On the matter of the navy, Liu Yu has torn his face and uttered nonsense, and he does not hesitate to fight with cruel words and methods of exposing scars.When it comes to the army's military reform, it is much more honest, presenting facts and reasoning.

Looking down from a high position, one can see that Liu Yu's thoughts are really on the sea.In the East Ocean, in the South Ocean, otherwise, when we were arguing about the navy just now, we wouldn't be so "low-handed".

At this point in the debate, Li Gan asked the Li officer to stop the quarrel.

"Everything you say makes sense. It's just a matter of trade-offs. I'm more inclined to Ying Suo Bo's statement. Foreign patients are invincible, and the country will perish."

"When the previous dynasty arrived in Yongle, the army was still running across the world. There were Nu'ergan in the north and sailing to the west in the south. Under the circumstances at that time, who would have thought of a civil fort?"

"It's the same in Guochao. It is known that the Western military system is excellent, and reform is imperative. The Qing and others do not object. The only thing in dispute is whether to change the guns, or to move up and down?"

"I can see that too. What Eagle Sobo means is that such a change is beneficial; the main problem you oppose is that such a change will lead to chaos. If so, why don't you listen to the opinion of the general in charge of the army?"

His gaze wandered, and he turned to Jiang Chen, the general who has been leading the army in the northwest.

This is the madman who was young and frivolous at the Wude Palace and said, "If your ancestors hadn't been overshadowed, how could He De be a classmate with me".

He was once regarded as the top figure of the non-honored family in Wude Palace, and it is not an exaggeration to be called an idol.

It's just the arrogance of youth, which has long since disappeared.

Instead, he was conferred the title of Spyque, and became a nobleman. Naturally, he felt ridiculous at the wild words at the beginning, and of course he hoped that his descendants would be enshrined.

The general situation of leveling has been decided, and the military power will naturally be taken back.

Originally thought that the Duke of England was old, Jiang Chen thought that he was going to take the Duke of England's vacancy into the Tianyou Palace.But the emperor's intention seemed to be to include the head of the general staff, or the Privy Council, in the Temple of Heavenly Blessing, making military power a direct responsibility of the emperor.

This point was only discussed by the emperor in private with him before, the Privy Council definitely did not have the power to control the military, and in the eyes of a general like him, it was clearly a nursing home.

Now that the overall situation has been decided and the quasi-department has been leveled, it is also a good thing to hand over military power early, which is good for the emperor and for yourself.

Glancing at Liu Yu who was silent there, Jiang Chen secretly shook his head, thinking that the times had changed.

He has read the combat records of the Qingzhou Army, but laymen just watch the excitement and find it boring.He, who leads troops in battle, understands what the Qingzhou Army's marching speed and formation skills mean.

If we say a strong army, it is naturally a strong army.Liu Yu handed over his military power casually and was not greedy. It not only proved that this army can change generals at any time, but also proved that it is still capable of fighting under the general rotation system.

Perhaps, this is also a good thing for the generals.Lest the emperor feel uneasy all day, for fear that the general will make trouble.

At this time, the emperor asked him to express his opinion, and he supported it in his heart, and his buttocks also supported it.

However, in fact, the emperor didn't ask him whether he supported it or not, but asked him whether the army stationed in Shaanxi and Gansu could be stabilized if the army was reformed and abolished.

He is responsible for what he said.

The military reform depends on his prestige, and of course it will offend a group of people, but in exchange for a safe transfer of military power into the Temple of Heavenly Blessing.

There is no need to explain these things clearly.

Now the emperor asked him if he could make a smooth change without any troubles, in fact, he was telling him to stand on the last post.

After standing up, he landed smoothly, and went straight to the Privy Council to be the chief of staff, and entered the Tianyou Temple, achieving the last step that many people dream of.

If you can't stand well...that's too much to say.

It can be considered that this is deliberately instigated by relying on the prestige in the army, or it can be considered that it is insufficient ability, and a reason can always be found.

The military reform itself is not very difficult, especially for the Xijing garrison, there are not many people to be abolished, and most of the abolished are converted to civilians and went to the Western Regions for reclamation.

Another one is that the Northwest Army did not have too many arrogant soldiers this time.

To balance this matter, Liu Yu showed his face and snatched away a few earls, many viscount barons and a lot of honors that were originally estimated.

I thought that if a national war was leveled, it would be as simple as suppressing a rebellion.

Liu Yu was only made an earl, and the rest of the people had nothing to say even if they felt wronged.

There are not so many people with outstanding military achievements, and he is not in charge of selecting and evaluating military ranks.

Jiang Chen already understood that the person who asked him to go to the Northwest Town for two years to cooperate with the imperial court parachuted there, in fact, it meant to separate and reduce all his prestige and contacts in the Northwest Army for many years.

He was just standing on the platform for the person who parachuted in for the imperial court.

After thinking about this point clearly, Jiang Chen's attitude was also very happy, and he took the initiative to stand up and bear this matter.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the military reform will benefit the country and the people in the long run, and it is feasible. The troops in Beijing Camp, Xijing and other places can be promoted first."

"Eagle Sobo also said, seek slowness rather than haste, and this is what you say. If the military reforms in these two places are successful, they can be promoted throughout the country."

"The Northwest Army, I recommend myself, please go and guard it for two years. After it is abolished and reformed, please return to Beijing."

"I have been fighting for many years, suffering from wind and frost, and my body is also suffering from some illnesses."

"Secondly, I really feel that there is a gap between what I have learned and the tactics used by Ying Sabo, and I am going to study it carefully and ask for advice."

This remark gave the emperor enough face, he took the initiative to take on what the emperor wanted to do, and even supported Liu Yu by the way.

Even the commanding generals of the Northwest Army have stated that they need to learn more, otherwise they will not be able to keep up with the times. What else do the rest have to say?
The emperor couldn't respond directly, and pretended to be sorry and said: "Aiqing has worked so hard, guarded the northwest for many years, and lived in the wind, food and dew. I intended to invite you back to Beijing. I also know that you are in pain. You should take care of yourself for a few years when you return to Beijing, so I can see you." political affairs."

"Since Qing said so, then I agree. Ying Suobo, you should also prepare some books as gifts, and don't keep them private."

Liu Yu hurriedly said: "Everything I have learned about the military formation in my life has been published in a book, and I have nothing to hide. This book is printed, even if someone learns it, it is useless. If there is no matching population, military system, and wealth, Even if there is a heart of disobedience, it is useless."

Speaking of this, Liu Yu nodded to the emperor again, and the military reform must be complete.

Otherwise, this book has already been published, and if you don’t reform the military, there will be a lot of people around who understand Chinese.However, in this era, the bonus points for famous generals are no longer too high, and it is more about the competition of national strength.

No matter how fierce Napoleon was, if he was thrown into the Netherlands, he would not be able to accomplish anything.

The emperor had long heard Liu Yu talk about various things after the military reform, and understood Liu Yu's meaning. The population supported by national power, the regular discharge system, etc., relied on Dashun's size to form a crush on the surrounding area.

As long as the central government does not collapse for a day, there will be no threat from the surrounding areas.

No matter how many veterans are moved to the Western Regions, there is no military factory in the area, and the local wealth cannot support a standing army, and rebellion cannot be started.This is no longer the era of cold weapons. If there are too many elite soldiers in a corner, the rebellion may succeed.

The whole set of military reforms not only eliminated the wariness of military generals, but also eliminated the possibility of border uprisings and self-reliance, so that the emperor could appoint some ministers to guard the border with more confidence.

The emperor is not worried about the military factory that Liu Yu is building, because Weihai is too close to the capital, and it is completely under control.

If someone built such a large-scale arsenal in the Western Regions, the emperor would have to think about it.

As a result, the leaders of the non-hereditary heirs of honorable nobles in the army came forward to express their support, and at the same time expressed their support on behalf of the Northwest Frontier Army.

The members of the Xungui family already supported it, but whether the Jingying side supports it or not depends only on the emperor's words.

Dashun's two field groups have expressed their support, and it is actually needless to say it here.The rest of the nonsense things are not very meaningful.

There is no way to refute the increase in combat power, the possible chaos... the people who are most likely to cause chaos say nothing, and the rest can't say anything.

The emperor does not want to mention the redistribution of powers and responsibilities now.

After some things are done, it is called success.

Some things are said before they are done, and that may be the obstacle.

"Since this is the case, I also think that seeking delay is not urgent. The military reform of the army can be done slowly. Although it is done slowly, it cannot be avoided."

"I think it's better to set up the military training department, the dismantling and resettlement department, and the regulations of the military academy. For the time being, the Tianyou Temple will be busy and select talents."

"Temporary, very temporary, after two years we will discuss the system."

Several ministers who opposed it were all helpless when they heard the words of "temporary and extraordinary".

If it is set up temporarily, it will directly bypass the six governments. If the emperor wants to temporarily set up a department, who can object to it?The hand couldn't reach in at all. The emperor must have chosen some people he trusted to be in charge. He said that Tianyoudian was in charge, but in fact, wasn't the emperor just talking about it?
Temporary departments do not belong to the government, but directly to the emperor.

But after the temporary establishment becomes permanent, all the people from top to bottom are the emperor's people, even if they are under the jurisdiction of the military government, isn't that a change of soup?
Many people shook their heads secretly, thinking that His Majesty has moved the inner court to the outer court, and almost occupied the authority of the outer court, which is really not a good thing.

Your Majesty is wise, and may be able to open up territories and expand the land to make the world peaceful.But if there is a Jin Hui Emperor, it will be a big deal.

Of course, Liu Yu knew it well in his heart, but the construction of the system was not accomplished overnight, and it would be a big deal in the future to smash it up and start over.

But the last tail of the age of great exploration, Nanyang and Australia, after passing this village, there will be no such shop.This kind of change of fate against the sky requires a prophet, a king of centralized power, because the path to be taken is against natural evolution.
