For Zhu Di, this Japanese conquest was a good start, and Daming took another big step towards the empire on which the sun never sets in his mind.

Although Japan's territory is not too large, conquering it has unusual significance.

First of all, the navy was used in the campaign against Japan, and joint naval and land combat exercises were also held.

This has accumulated considerable experience for the empire on which the sun never sets in the future, and successfully discovered and solved problems.

Logistical support in cross-sea operations was a complete subject for Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court had absolutely no experience to talk about.Compared with the experience of Zheng He's sailing to Nanyang before, it is completely different.Plane Travel Guide 1615

During the conquest of Japan this time, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Maritime Affairs experienced the supreme use of heavenly secrets for the first time.

With the official use of Tianji wireless telegraphy, the connection between the front line and the center of the imperial court has been infinitely enlarged.

Although there are many disturbances caused by the leapfrog command of the Ministry of War on the front line, the great convenience brought by the rapid and accurate information exchange cannot be denied.

Fortunately, Tang Shaozhe insisted on the principle before, which can be regarded as leaving a precedent and foundation with perfect effect.

Who dares to easily interfere with the troops commanded by Master Guoshi?The top and bottom of the Ministry of War hardly dare to fart, and have no ideas other than obedience.During the early period when Tang Shangxian commanded operations, the rear military department only had the role of logistical support.

After the main force of the shogunate was annihilated, Kyoto was captured and the Japanese royal family was easily wiped out, the Master of the State Council returned to the court, and the front and rear were once again pinched.

With the continuous increase of troops and dispatches, the military department seemed to have found the feeling of the core of the world's military affairs, and began to dictate various affairs on the front line through the secrets. The frontline soldiers were very troubled by this.

The two sides fought a war of words for not knowing about it, and then it was finally settled in front of the emperor.

All his life as a soldier, Zhu Di knew very well the importance of the power to make decisions on the fly.Therefore, with a wave of his hand, he denied the requirement of the rear of the Ministry of War to control the combat affairs in front of the formation. History can never go back.

I remember that in the Song Dynasty, whenever troops were sent out, the imperial court would not only send out formation maps to stipulate what formations the soldiers needed to fight, but also stipulate in detail many rules for the soldiers.

This directly led to the Song army being more than stable but not sufficiently mobile, resulting in countless cup battles.

Taking this as an example, Zhu Di dismissed the attempts of the civil servants from the Ministry of War to interfere with the army.For this reason, he also asked Tang Shangxian for advice once, wanting to know whether the rear commanded the front at will in the battle in the heavenly realm.

It is said that Tianjie has had the secrets for a long time, and must have correspondingly rich combat experience.

Tang Shaozhe is really a little hard to say. Hundreds of years later, with the continuous convenience of information exchange, the form of war has undergone earth-shaking changes. The front and rear are often defined more and more vaguely, especially in superpowers with advanced technology.

However, Tang Shaozhe decided not to talk about it after thinking about it again and again. Nowadays, it is obvious that Daming does not need to blur the boundaries between the front and the rear.In a real war, the role of Tianji is to facilitate mutual communication, nothing more.

The rear can get the real situation of the battle ahead in the first time, which is already a very important progress.

At least the impact of those rumors behind enemy lines in the past can be basically ignored, and even many military strategies need to be rewritten.During Zhu Di's questioning, Tang Shaozhe unceremoniously taught the emperor another vivid military lesson.

Of course, Tang Shangxian's main purpose is to target those civil servants in the imperial court, so as not to hinder others during the war stage.

The Ministry of War should make changes as soon as possible, let those military officers who really understand the military come in, and drive out all the civil servants who think they understand the military after reading two military books.Plane Travel Guide 1615

Such things as war are a discipline that requires practical experience.

Tang Shangxian always believed that professional matters should be left to professional people, so he took this opportunity to propose a complete reorganization of the Ministry of War and drive out all the civil servants in the past.

Previously, Master Guoshi only performed minor operations on the Ministry of War. For example, the Ministry of War was brought under the direct control of the royal family, the minister of the Ministry of War must be appointed by a military officer, the military supervision system must be rebuilt, and the management and logistics of the army are all in charge of military officers.

This time, the influence of civil servants was completely squeezed out, completely changing the situation of Ming Dynasty using civil to control military.

"...Your Majesty, in the future Ming Dynasty will become an empire on which the sun never sets, and we cannot rely on Confucian brothers for everything. All schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods are responsible for the future and destiny of the country."

On the contrary, Zhu Di was a little hesitant: "Well, Master Guoshi, isn't it a little 'disorder'? I'm worried that it will cause a 'chaos' of thinking in the world, and it will bring a lot of inconvenience instead!"

"Your Majesty's words are wrong! The openness of all schools of thought will not cause chaos in the world, but will find a model suitable for the imperial court from the collision of ideas. Confucianism has been revered alone for thousands of years, and it has already created itself The limitations of Confucianism. It has been closed for a long time, and the academic "nature" of Confucianism has been slow for thousands of years. This is the reason."

Tang Shaozhe, who vigorously promotes social change, does not have any prejudice against Confucianism, he just hopes that the domestic academic atmosphere will not be too conservative.The renaissance of modern Western civilization was booming, which brought about the explosion of the Industrial Revolution.

An important factor why Western civilization surpassed Eastern civilization in modern times is the collision of many ideologies and academics.The spark is the spark that ignites everything, and this is the advantage lost by the more and more conservative oriental civilization.

Since Dong Zhongshu of the Han Dynasty "respected only Confucianism", although Confucianism has undergone several internal changes for thousands of years, it has always lacked external academic ideas of equal strength and grade, causing a sense of crisis, and thus truly achieving mastery.

The self-improvement of Confucianism for thousands of years has indeed made Confucian academic thought continue to progress, and it is also adapting to changes in different social situations.But compared with the effectiveness of external competition, the effect of internal improvement alone is far worse.

Tang Shaozhe hopes to plant the seeds of future social reform in this military reform. The ideological system of Chinese society has indeed reached the point where it cannot be changed.

Only by recreating the grand occasion of the contention of a hundred schools of thought during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, it is possible to push the Chinese civilization to its peak.

Master Guoshi's impassioned, in the end only exchanged for Zhu Di's thoughtfulness: "Leave professional matters to professional people? This is a whole way of thinking!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. The goal of Confucianism for thousands of years is to cultivate comprehensive knowledge. This requires too much of the personal quality of Confucian students. I think the division of labor in society will become more and more detailed in the future. We need various majors. Professional people."

Zhu Di finally nodded: "Well, so Master Guoshi thinks that we should let go of the restrictions, open our minds, and reproduce the situation of the Spring and Autumn Schools? Well, I understand!"
