Wentang

Chapter 474 Untitled
The period between the end of the fourth year and the beginning of the fifth year of Zhenguan will be remembered by history.

First, an epoch-making weapon: artillery officially appeared in front of everyone.The four barbarians were terrified, and the inside of the Tang Dynasty was also shaken by it.

A few days after the performance, several wall-riding forces surrendered to Datang, and some real power factions within Datang also wrote letters asking for the separation of power in their hands.

It can be said that Li Shimin's personal prestige has reached a new peak.

Then there are many epoch-making changes in the political situation.

The first is the separation of the military and the government. After Yue Shan proposed, Li Shimin discussed with the core officials round after round, and finally came up with a specific charter before the Great Court Meeting.

The Privy Council is set up in the central government to control military affairs, and the Privy Council envoys are in the same position as Zaifu.The Privy Council has an independent organization department under its jurisdiction, whose responsibilities are the assessment, appointment and dismissal of generals, etc.

That is to say, from now on, the appointment and dismissal of military officers will be decided by the military commanders themselves, and civil servants shall not interfere.In fact, this is the core of the separation of civil and military.

If the assessment, appointment and dismissal of military generals are continued to be handed over to the Ministry of Officials, then the separation of military and government is a joke.Only when one has the right to appoint and remove personnel, can the general system be truly independent from the oppression of civilian officials.

As for other staff departments, logistics departments, etc., I won’t go into details.

After this proposal was brought to the court, it aroused extensive discussion. However, as mentioned before, the separation of the military and the government was too sensitive and almost no one publicly opposed it.

Some real power factions deliberately opposed it, but just thinking about the Shenwei cannon that they just visited a few days ago, it suddenly withered, and this system passed smoothly.

Li Jing resigned from the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of War to serve as the No.1 Privy Envoy, and Li Ji and Li Daozong served as Deputy Privy Envoys.

When Li Jing and Li Ji were chief and deputy envoys, everyone had nothing to say, they had enough qualifications and abilities.When Li Daozong was deputy envoy, everyone had nothing to say, let alone ability, his clan status represented everything.

For such an important department, it is normal for the emperor to send a trusted clan to take up the position.

As for other organization departments, staff departments, and logistics departments, they have also appointed suitable candidates, so I won't go into details here.

The first thing Li Jing did after taking office was to clarify the scope of their respective responsibilities with the civil service system, so as to avoid future disputes.

This matter seems simple, but it is actually very difficult. The general framework is easy to say, and the key is the details.Each point represents a lot of rights, and no one is willing to give in easily, so the quarrel is very fierce.

It is estimated that it will be difficult to have a final result without a year and a half.

But after all, it is an entrepreneurial team, and everyone can distinguish the importance, so that the business will not be delayed because of this matter.

Then there is Yushitai. The profit from this reform is no less than that of the military officer system.

The specifications of the Yushitai were promoted from the level of the six departments to be tied with the three provinces and not under its jurisdiction, and the imperial envoy was the same as the prime minister.

Moreover, there are two departments under the Yushitai, the Wenjian and the Wujian, and there are respectively the Wenjian Yushi and the Wujian Yushi.The Civilian Supervisor specializes in supervising the civil service system, and the Military Supervisor specializes in supervising the military officer system.

In addition to the central government, drastic reforms have also been carried out at the local level.

First of all, the system of three shifts and six rooms launched by Yueshan has performed well after two years of operation, and has been officially promoted throughout the country.

This system undoubtedly has the support of all civil servants.It's very simple, there are many new vacancies in the third class and the sixth room, and there are many scholars who can be officials.

Secondly, the criminal justice system was also adopted amid the dissatisfaction of a few people and some disputes.

As for why some people are dissatisfied... No official likes to be divided. The system of criminal justice directly distributes the power of a landlord. Naturally, many people oppose it, and the controversy also comes from this.

However, the Legalists finally saw an opportunity to be able to independently control their own destiny, how could they just let it go, that was their desperate support.

Whenever someone raises an objection, there is no need for Yue Shan to come forward to explain, they will take the initiative to jump out and spray each other's life can not take care of themselves.

Driven by the Legalists desperately, the system of proposing criminal officials was formally established.

From now on, criminal and prison proceedings will be in charge of special officials, instead of being controlled by a local official as in history.

The last change seems to be less dramatic than before, re-dividing the world's various lanes.

What, is it not a big deal to redefine the world?Don't worry, you will know after reading Li Shimin's order.

The whole world is re-divided into 27 provinces according to geographical, political, military, economic and other factors, and each province governs seven or eight or ten or twenty states.

Each way has a supervisory envoy and a punishment department, but no chief officer.Be optimistic, there will be no chief officer.

Does it look the same to outsiders?

In the past, the world was divided into fifteen realms, and only supervisory envoys were set up to facilitate the supervision of hundreds of officials. In fact, it was a false organization.

Now it's just a change from 27 to [-], and then there is an extra criminal division, not much difference.

But is this really the case?Only a few people know that this is just a throwing stone to ask for directions, and it is a warm-up for the establishment of a three-level local management organization in the next step.

After the independence of Yushitai, in order to better supervise hundreds of officials, supervisory agencies were set up in every state and county.The county level is managed by the state level, the state level is managed by the prefecture level, the prefecture level is managed by the dao level, and the dao level is managed by the central Yushitai.

The army is similar, military inspectors are set up at the battalion level, the next level is under the management of the upper level, and finally under the Yushitai.

The same is true for the punishment department. The county-level punishment department, the state-level punishment department, and the Taoist punishment department are under the dual management of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment.

In other words, right now, only the Criminal Division and Yushitai have more Taoist-level institutions.

If these two organizations are running smoothly, they will be able to formally establish the administrative management organization at the level of 'Tao' if they find a suitable opportunity.

The significance of this innovation is far-reaching and far-reaching. It can be said that it has established a management system for more than a thousand years, known as Zhenguan Reform in history.

This is a long-term impact, and the immediate impact is also great.

The internal security was strengthened, and the army was directly mobilized to various places for fear that someone would cause chaos.

It is also strictly guarded against the outside world, and elite soldiers from all walks of life will be mobilized to the front line to prevent other forces from taking the opportunity to attack.

However, the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty soon discovered a strange thing. For the reform of the Tang Dynasty, Siyi seemed to be relieved.

Not only did they not invade, but they also submitted a letter of credence to Datang, indicating that the two families were reconciled, even Xieli was no exception.

This is very strange, why?

However, soon everyone figured out the joint, Shenwei Cannon.

All the forces who have seen the Shenwei cannon are worried, for fear that Datang will aim the cannon at them.

Now that Datang is undergoing drastic reforms internally, according to common sense, foreign wars will not be launched at this time...

Hmm... It's actually true to think so. For the time being, Datang really has no plans to fight abroad.

The only plan is to continue to divide the Turkic tribes, and it is best to let Jieli and Turkic break apart.But this plan is not feasible in three or two days, at least half a year.

With this buffer, it is enough for Datang to complete the restructuring work.

Moreover, because the restructuring made Siyi relax his vigilance, Datang was able to carry out the divorce work better, which is also a surprise.

In addition, another relatively confidential military operation has also been put on the agenda-the development plan of Xinma Island.
