golden scales

Emperor Taizu Gao first set up the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to control the soldiers of the world.In the 13th year of Hongwu, Zhongshu Province was dismissed, imitating the six ministers system in "Zhou Li", and setting up six departments directly under the emperor.At the same time, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was also dismantled into five, divided into the Central Army, the Front Army, the Rear Army, the Left Army, and the Right Army Governor's Mansion.

According to Emperor Gao's design, the five military governor's mansions are parallel to each other, and the jurisdiction is divided according to the region, and the capital guards within the jurisdiction are managed.

The guards under the jurisdiction of the Dusi in the Ming Dynasty were not only military households, but also civilian households, and the Dusi itself had jurisdiction. It can be said that it is a country within a country with great power. rights, and there is no limitation on authority and responsibility.

The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies has the right to command troops, but not the right to deploy them.Once the country uses troops, the Ministry of War will issue a dispatch document to transfer soldiers from each guard post, and assign the general officer as the general.Therefore, the Ministry of War has the right to dispatch troops and generals, but it has no soldiers in its own hands.

At the same time, in order to maintain military secrecy, Dingkou, a military household under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, never reported to the Ministry of War.The Minister of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty did not know how many guards there were in the country.However, the Governor’s Mansion of the Five Armies was in the hands of several fixed relatives, and after a long time, it became intertwined, and there was room for others to do so, which eventually led to the encroachment of the guards and fields by the hereditary generals, and the military households fled and became generals’ slaves.

After arriving in Jiajing, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies even lost its authority and was completely reduced to honors.Its function of commanding troops fell to the head of the Ministry of War, but the guards had completely collapsed, and there were no soldiers to adjust, so the recruitment system could only be allowed to prevail.This became the hotbed for the transformation of the national army into the generals' private army, and finally brewed the feudal towns of the late Ming Dynasty.

No one in power will ignore military power, and it is even more impossible to let the military power in his hands fall aside.

Zhu Cihong is the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, not a general, and it is impossible to devote all his energy to military construction, so the system prevents this army from going back to the private soldier system.is very necessary.Especially now that the army is relatively clean and the faction on the top of the mountain has not yet appeared, it is even more necessary to clarify the system.

"I still want to unify the Dudu Mansion of the Five Armies and reset the Dudu Mansion in the early years of Hongwu." Zhu Cihong said: "But the Du Siwei will definitely be withdrawn, so the power and responsibility of the Dudu Mansion only lie in commanding, training and recruiting troops. It is divided into the General Staff Department, the General Logistics Department, the General Armament Department and the General Training Department. Simply put, the General Staff Department is in charge of winning the war; the General Logistics Department is in charge of food, clothing, housing and transportation; the General Armament Department is in charge of weapons and equipment; No matter what's going on in the soldiers' heads."

"The Ministry of War mainly manages the old things: payment of salaries, deployment of troops, promotion of generals, rewards and punishments." Zhu Cihong said: "In this way, the Ministry of War must understand the situation of the army. I have to check the information myself, lest the Dudu Mansion be corrupted again."

Sun Chuanting nodded slightly: The Crown Prince is using the Ministry of War to supervise the Dudu's Mansion, and he still uses the method of Wen to control the military.As for the morality and diligence of the Ministry of War itself, it is still assessed by the Metropolitan Procuratorate.In this way, from an institutional point of view, the powers of the various ministries are balanced.According to the old system, the Ministry of War is completely unable to intervene in the affairs of the Governor's Mansion.

Wu Xuan listened to it from the side, and also felt that this was a good way to save money, and he couldn't help but admire: His Highness didn't ask anyone to discuss this way.It's not unusual to be able to figure it out by yourself.

"In terms of the military system, that's all I've thought about." Zhu Cihong said: "The two old gentlemen are both old in state affairs, help me think about whether there are any mistakes."

Wu Tong and Sun Chuanting each thought for a while, and finally concluded: "Separate the soldiers, fear that the soldiers will not know the generals, and the generals will not know the soldiers, repeating the same mistakes of the Song Dynasty. The soldiers and generals are integrated, and they are afraid of forming a military town that cannot be lost. Your Highness, this method. It is in one place, but the military pay is in the Ministry of War. The command of the troops and the expenses are in the governor's office. Both of them can directly intervene in the management of the army, which is indeed an excellent strategy."

"Then the cabinet should follow this strategy and give it to the emperor." Zhu Cihong nodded, "He can dispatch Jiangnan officials as he pleases, so he shouldn't obstruct such a small problem."

Wu Tong and Sun Chuanting glanced at each other unconsciously, feeling puzzled that the Crown Prince thinks everything from the perspective of transactions - this is obviously a skill that should be possessed after decades of ups and downs in the officialdom!

Zhu Cihong leaned back in the chair.Said: "I'm a little tired, so I won't send the two gentlemen out, please forgive me."

"Your Highness, please take care." Wu Tong and Sun Chuanting stood up and said goodbye.

Zhu Cihong was indeed tired.

Both the army and the administration must be grasped, and both hands must be hardened.It is just that the institutionalization of management is Zhu Cihong's advantage. Seeing the inefficient system, it is inevitable to rush to correct and improve it.Fortunately, he is the crown prince.He successfully seized power again, which can almost be regarded as "constitutional export".

This is simply the imperial enjoyment that he dreamed of in his previous life.

——However, if the team from the previous life traveled collectively, the efficiency must be higher.

Zhu Cihong was obsessed in his heart, he took a rest and rang the bell to summon Lu Suyao to come in.

"Has Tian Cunshan arrived?" Zhu Cihong asked.

"Tian Cunshan is already waiting outside." Lu Suyao said, "His Royal Highness is discussing political affairs with the old gentlemen, so he did not dare to report it."

"Come in." Zhu Cihong's voice was a little tired, and he immediately raised a finger.

Lu Suyao blessed her body and withdrew.After a while, he came in again with a hot face towel, wiped Zhu Cihong's face and burned his eyes.

Zhu Cihong lifted his spirits, saw Tian Cunshan also arrived at the door, and beckoned him to come in.

"Master Qiantui! The slaves are thinking about it day and night... Lord Qiantui has lost weight again!" Tian Cunshan knelt down in front of Zhu Cihong and cried.

"Get up and talk, what's going on in Dengzhou?" Zhu Cihong asked.

Tian Cunshan immediately put away his tears, stood up and said, "Chitose, the Dengzhou Navy has a large scale, and these days it has intercepted many merchant ships going to the north. The Jiannu Navy is an old ship more than ten years ago. The navy did not dare to leave the port at all. But Jiannu was afraid that my navy would land, so he moved the people twenty miles inland!"

"This is an old trick from old slaves, and they only know how to move to sea." Zhu Cihong said disapprovingly, "Can artillery be used on a boat?"

"It's possible, but it's not accurate." Tian Cunshan said: "But General Shen said that hitting two or three shots out of ten shots is not bad."

Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "You just came back. Let me ask you, would you like to work by my side, or continue to go to Dengzhou to be a trainer?"

Tian Cunshan burst into tears instantly, and said: "Master Qiantui, this servant has served you since childhood. If you don't see Qiantui every day, you won't be able to eat or sleep well..."

"Okay," Zhu Cihong said impatiently, "You've been in the navy for so long, and it's not dark anymore, so you don't go into the sea much on weekdays!"

"Thousand-year-old! Slave, slave..." Tian Cunshan's face flushed red.

"The sun and the moon can learn these four words, can't you say it?" Zhu Cihong said coldly.

Tian Cunshan fell to his knees with a puff: "Your Highness, Mingjian! It's true that the slaves vomited when they got on the boat...General Shen said it was given by his parents, and he couldn't change it. Later, he just... didn't get on the boat..."

Zhu Cihong was annoyed in his heart: I was so careless...Tian Cunshan didn't get seasick in the artificial lake in Xiyuan, which doesn't mean he didn't get seasick when he went to the Liaohai Sea... For these few months, the Navy has no chief instructor The development of the situation is really a pit.

"You should have written to me a long time ago!" Zhu Cihong said angrily, "Well, you'll be relieved of your duties as a trainer first. I have another matter for you to handle."

"Your Highness, please tell me, this servant will never dare to be sloppy." Tian Cunshan said hastily.

"Go to Jiangnan to find Wang Zhixin," Zhu Cilang said, "find some well-known local literati, and run three or five newspapers, and stare at the "Jiangnan Shilin Daily" to scold me."

"Newspaper?" Tian Cunshan was either at the beach or on his way, and happened to miss the release of "Emperor Ming Bulletin".

"Go down and ask if you don't know!" Zhu Cihong said angrily: "Let me give you an idea first, don't just look for people who have enemies with Donglin, it is best to look for people inside Donglin."

Tian Cunshan's heart moved: This is clearly a political dispute!It seems that this is the remnant of Donglin who wants to die!But what is the origin of that "Jiangnan Shilin Daily"?

"Have a good rest tonight, and leave for Nanjing tomorrow." Zhu Cihong said, "Go out." As he spoke, Zhu Cihong had already rang the bell in his hand, and Lu Suyao quickly walked in, waiting respectfully for orders.

Seeing that his position had been completely replaced by a female officer, Tian Cunshan was quite disappointed.However, thinking of the hidden anger of the crown prince just now, it seems that if the newspaper is done well, it will be a great contribution.
