Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 229 The Meeting of High Relatives ([-])
Can't say?
A word immediately popped into Gao Yushi's mind: interest groups.

The question is, which group?

Zhu family royal family and clan group?Civilian group?Xungui Group?Or some other group that I haven't noticed?
Gao Wushi pondered for a while, and asked, "What is the current process of armament supply?"

Qi Jiguang thought to himself: This is really a child prodigy. I just said 'no way', and he immediately understood that there must be interests involved. It's just that he couldn't ask directly, so he asked about the process of military equipment supply.As soon as the process is mentioned, isn't it clear which links in the middle may be related to interests?This...isn't this amazing?As for child prodigies, it’s not surprising that they have some whimsical ideas, and it’s not uncommon for them to read with a photographic memory and draw inferences from one instance, but isn’t life experience needed for this issue of interest entanglement?At his age, how could he even understand such things innately?Are there really "people born with knowledge" in the world?
But no matter how shocked he was, after all, the goals of the two people are the same right now. Qi Jiguang was shocked when he was shocked, and excited when he was excited. At the moment, he felt an inexplicable confidence in Gao Yushi: What if there is a solution to this day—or at least How about finding a loophole to avoid this trouble?
Immediately he cheered up, sat up straight, and said: "When it comes to the supply of armaments, in fact, there are differences between the Beijing camp and the frontier troops and even the local guards. How much military equipment is required for this year or a certain period of time, the Ministry of War will reply to each army for approval or adjust the quota, and then usually the military households will be allocated by the capital divisions in the areas where the armies are guarding or in neighboring areas to build them. Then the governor or governor, the local guarding eunuch and inspector censor will conduct a second inspection and acceptance, and finally hand it over to the general soldier for final inspection and acceptance."

Gao Yushi was almost stunned when he heard it—isn't it, it's so troublesome?Then there is too much room for fuss here, right?

He had no choice but to use his political experience in later generations to ask "grasp the key points, focus on the key points": "I have two questions: first, what kind of military equipment is needed? The manufacture of armaments falls to the military households in various places?"

Qi Jiguang was too lazy to be shocked, and replied directly: "I will answer the first question first. Of course, the commander-in-chief of the town can write a letter to ask the Ministry of War to allocate it, but the Ministry of War may not provide it according to this standard. Moreover, it is not what you want. Yes, I give [-]% to such a simple 'bargaining'. In fact, the final decision on how much each town and army can get is completely in the hands of the Ministry of War: if the Ministry of War thinks you are lacking, you will be lacking, and if you are not lacking, you will be lacking; The Ministry of War thinks that you are not lacking, you are not lacking, and you are not lacking.”

understood.

Gao Yushi secretly sighed in his heart: No wonder military generals at this time have almost no human rights in front of civilian officials. Not only are their food and salaries stifled, but even the supply of weapons and equipment is the responsibility of the Ministry of War. It is reasonable to say that the town commanders in various places know the needs of their subordinates best. , However, their Shangshu is basically just a formality. The Ministry of War listens to it if it likes it, and doesn't listen to it if it doesn't like it.Anyway, you have to take whatever I give you in the end, even if I don’t give it to you, you have nothing to do. It’s a dragon, you coil it up for me, it’s a tiger, you lie down for me, it’s a dog... wag your tail and stop barking.

How about some yarn?There is a fundamental problem with this fucking thing. Fortunately, I thought it was just the guards that were broken, and the things made by the military households were substandard!If the officials in charge of the Ministry of War don't understand this at all, isn't it just that the layman directs the insider, and the layman leads the insider?In later generations, Lao Tzu held countless meetings, saying "It is not allowed for outsiders to direct insiders, and outsiders are not allowed to lead insiders", "We must fully seek the opinions of experts from all walks of life and front-line practitioners", and the ears can hear the calluses. Co-authored There was no such idea in the Ming Dynasty?Oh, maybe this way of thinking was completely rebellious in the Ming Dynasty!

This matter is a bit difficult... Gao Yushi's brows immediately frowned.

Qi Jiguang took a look at him, and knew that Gao Yushi had seen the problem, but he couldn't predict what Gao Yushi was thinking, and originally planned to continue answering the second question, but now seeing Gao Yushi frowning in thought, he didn't dare to say it right away.

Fortunately, Gao Wushi only thought about it for a while, and put this question down first, and asked instead: "Then what about the manufacture of armaments? Are they all done by military households from all over the country? Is the acceptance of military equipment...is it easy?" pass?"

This sentence is an interesting question. The quality of weapons and equipment in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was really Wang Xiaoer's new year. Every year is not as good as every year. If it weren't for the fact that the first inspection and acceptance of military equipment in various places was too easy, how could they pass the test?
"This..." Qi Jiguang originally thought of a more roundabout and more euphemistic rhetoric, but who knew that when Gao Yushi asked the question so bluntly, it suddenly left him no room to retreat, so he had to say with a little embarrassment: "Military preparations from all over the country... Well, after all, we have to give the local guards some face... Besides, the local guards are indeed... er, it is indeed difficult."

Well, such a straightforward and heroic Shandong man, an invincible and ever-victorious general, falters and stammers when he talks about this matter. It can be seen that it is not a certain link that is bad, but all of them. Rotten.

It's not that high pragmatism has never been in the officialdom. Some of the little ones here can be guessed with their toes-all benefits are shared!

First of all, before the Ministry of War wrote the document, someone must have "discussed" with them. This year, the cabinet discussed the national military expenditure, and then how many weapons and equipment a certain army in a certain place will be equipped with this year. The degree of filial piety of the district guards—to determine an approximate distribution quota, the Ministry of War will pass the test here.

Next, the guards will receive the production request and start production, but just stupid production is not enough, you have to contact the acceptance leader of your product immediately - the local military department, the local military department will do it according to your filial piety Decide if, or how much of, your deliveries will qualify.

However, since military preparation is not the final decision maker, he has to respect his leaders—up to the governor (dual leadership in some regions, and some independent leadership) and guarding eunuchs, down to the local patrolling censor.

Here is one thing to mention: Although the rank of the inspector censor is not high, and his rank is much lower than that of the military guard, he has extremely amazing picket power. Even the governor, governor, guarding eunuch, etc., can all be impeached legally. The Ming Dynasty also clearly stipulated that when the inspecting censors were inspecting places, they represented the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so "big matters are judged, and small matters are decided."As for what is a big event and what is a small matter, it is different in each period. This involves a power struggle between the governor and the governor that lasted at least a hundred years, etc. There will be a more detailed introduction in the future, so I will not mention it here for the time being.

All in all, from the Ministry of War to the final commander-in-chief, every level and every level is a link in the middle of this chain of interests - there may be one missing item: the direct leadership of the guards in various places is the capital division of each locality, and the direct leadership of the capital division of each locality The leader is the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, that is, the nobles.

Oh shit, it's over.Civil servants and generals of the Ming Dynasty, including nobles, were all included.That is to say, the emperor was kept in the dark, and the royal family members continued to be raised as pigs.

In the corner of the Ming Dynasty, everyone except the Zhu family can dig him with a hoe.

Awesome.

　Thanks to the book friend "Tai Yi Tu" for the reward, thank you.
