Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 729 A Day in the Military Aircraft Department (2)

Unifying standards is what Emperor Chongzhen has been doing.

Throughout the development history of the army, if we want to ensure that the combat power of the army can always maintain a constant level, we must have a complete system.

This complete system involves many fields, such as command, dispatch, organizational system, military regulations, military discipline, training, drills, armaments...

Only by doing this well can the combat effectiveness of the army be ensured.

The strength of the army is never guaranteed by a small group of people, it needs to be inherited, otherwise a disastrous defeat in a battle can break the backbone of the army!

Without exception.

This is also why the army in the early Ming Dynasty was so strong in combat power, and it was still able to achieve impressive results against all the powerful enemies it faced.

But after this period, the Ming army has been going round and round, showing slight signs of change, and then going downhill due to lack of stamina.

"An army should look like an army."

Emperor Chongzhen looked haughtily, looked around at the officials in the hall, and said loudly: "An army that cannot fight is better to be abolished than to waste food and manpower.

In the past relatively long period of time, the series of disastrous defeats of the Guochao in the Liao region were not without reason.

It's not scary to make a mistake.

scary.

It is knowing that there is a mistake, but never repenting.

It's okay at other levels, but at worst it's bad, but the army is the only one that can't do it!
If the army is poor, it will lose power and humiliate the country at the least, and the country will be overthrown at the worst. This is such a simple truth, I don’t need to say anything else, all the ministers know it too, right? "

Emperor Chongzhen's words made everyone present look different.

In fact, starting from the special military aircraft office, many people have figured out the intention of Emperor Chongzhen, who wanted to gradually control the military power and grasp the unquestionable majesty.

Since the Tumu Fortress Incident occurred, the central elite had suffered heavy losses, and the power structure of Ming Dynasty at the military level had inevitably tilted.

The Ministry of War, controlled by the civil servants, began to abolish the Dudufu of the Five Armies, which led to the unbalanced structure of Ming Dynasty's civil and military affairs, which has become the norm since then.

Starting from the training of generals, it has been extended through multiple levels such as naval reorganization, staff system, regular rotation, military industry development, and armament renewal.

Time passed minute by minute.

Under the leadership of Emperor Chongzhen's will, the core concept of each decision was initially clarified in this way. The Military Aircraft Department must rely on these concepts to draft corresponding detailed outlines as soon as possible and implement them gradually to ensure the overall concept of Emperor Chongzhen. Unified system can be really clear.

"Your Majesty, if the decisions you proposed are to be effectively implemented, at least several million taels of military expenditure will be spent." Wang Zaijin thought for a while, then stepped forward and bowed.

"Moreover, this batch of military expenditures cannot be resolved within a year of allocation, it may take several years, or even longer, to achieve the expected results.

The Military Aircraft Department has begun to seek the corresponding military budget from the cabinet and other government agencies, but there are many adjustments related to the military level, which..."

"That's the last thing I'm going to say."

Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were firm, and he interrupted: "In the stage of steady implementation of the above-mentioned clear decision, all shortfalls in military expenditure will be covered by the funds under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

My attitude is only one.

Now that something is decided to be done, it cannot be abandoned halfway, let alone be affected by other factors, causing the established things to fluctuate. "

It's the Ministry of Internal Affairs again.

It's just such a big financial pressure, can the Ministry of Internal Affairs really support it?
The ministers gathered in the hall were all surprised.

speak up.

Since the Ministry of Internal Affairs banned the inner court officials and began to take over the affairs of the court, it has shouldered the heavy burden more than once. Whenever the outer court officials objected, they would use the treasury as an excuse to shirk or hold back correspondingly. Emperor Chongzhen would bypass the outer court. Government-led implementation.

Disaster relief, river administration, military reform, industry, restoration...

No matter what level of matter it is, it needs to be implemented in an efficient manner. Emperor Chongzhen did this to avoid wasting precious time.

This has also led to a relatively serious fiscal deficit in the funds under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the scale is about to exceed [-] million taels.

But even so, Emperor Chongzhen still put pressure on the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If he stagnates like this, the consequences he will face will only be more serious.

"Your Majesty, it may not be enough to solve the problem only by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Yang Sichang expressed his worries, and stepped forward to remonstrate: "Can you let go of some of these decisions and solve some of them first, so..."

"no!!"

Emperor Chongzhen said categorically: "The decisions I mentioned must be promoted in a coordinated manner, and financial matters are not things that your military aircraft department should consider.

Doing your part well is enough.

I want to emphasize again, I will help you solve all the troubles and troubles that should be solved for the Military Aircraft Division, but if the established deployment cannot be effectively implemented, then your Military Aircraft Division must bear the responsibility for the problem. "

"The ministers obey the order."

All the people bowed in response.

Emperor Chongzhen felt a little emotional.

He also knows that the current pressure on the Ministry of Internal Affairs is too great, and if he is a little careless, he will be suspected and risk of playing off.

But now in such a situation, if he chooses to stagnate or retreat, it will be irreversible for Daming.

Affected by the Reformation, Daming is quietly undergoing changes.

Where there is change, there must be contradiction.

After all, it touched the interests.

This will also make some groups dissatisfied.

Isn't that how the dispute between the old and the new is formed?

"Northwest and Liao, the Military Aircraft Department must be more vigilant. Any urgent military affairs submitted to Beijing must be reported to the imperial court as soon as possible."

Emperor Chongzhen stood up and looked at Wang Zaijin and the others, "Now the country has gained an overwhelming advantage in countering the rebellion, and I don't want this advantage to be lost to me due to certain factors.

If the military aircraft department is short of manpower, it will be seconded from the Ministry of War. If it is still not enough, we will boldly recruit a group of new people, and I will also transfer a group from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. "

"The ministers obey the order."

Everyone prayed again.

Regarding the existing contradictions within the Ming Dynasty and the military reform carried out by the Ming Dynasty, the solution that Emperor Chongzhen thought of was to continue to transfer the contradictions to the outside world.

The deployment in Liao is for this purpose.

North Korea's deployment is for this purpose.

The Nanyang deployment is for this purpose.

The Jiangnan deployment is for this purpose.

As long as he can bear these pressures and solve the problems that need to be solved as soon as possible and effectively, then it will be a brand new situation when Daming unburdens himself and waits for Emperor Chongzhen.
