Chapter 690: Reforming the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion
Chapter 690 Reform the Governor's Office of the Five Army
The imbalance between civil and military affairs of the Ming Dynasty existed for a long time, which also made the reform of the army much more difficult than Emperor Chongzhen thought.
But no matter how difficult it is, it is necessary to continue to plan to reform the Ming army system and system. Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty's reform will be immature and lack a link.
Since the special military service office was established in the second year of Chongzhen, we have been doing it in the plan to reform the Ming army system and system. Perhaps the speed has been slower, but it has indeed been changing, moving, and doing it.
West Garden.
Diaoyutai.
"I have asked Xu Qing to do the military budget." Emperor Chongzhen walked slowly forward and spoke to the ministers of the Military Affairs Office who were accompanying him: "I have moved this stone away for you,
Then, if you plan to change the Governor's Office of the Five Army, you must shoulder the responsibility for me!"
Wang Zaijin, Yang Wenyue, Ding Qirui, Yang Sichang and his party heard what the emperor said, look at me, look at you, and show different expressions.
"Wang Qing, do you have any feelings when you return to Beijing from Liao for a long time?" Emperor Chongzhen stopped, turned around and looked at Wang Zaijin and asked.
"minister……"
"Wang Qing, it seems you don't understand what I mean."
The army is used for war and is a powerful weapon for the country!
The Military Affairs Office was the first to bear the brunt of the storm.
"The local garrisons that were originally affiliated with the Governor's Office of the Five Army will be separated from the Ministry of War. In the future, the garrisons will be gradually cleared and the system of garrisons will be gradually rectified."
Listening to what Wang Zaijin said, Emperor Chongzhen showed a faint smile on his face.
Emperor Chongzhen planned to transform the Ming army, but he didn't want to ask the Emperor of War God to appear in the Ming Dynasty. Those incredible things he did would then drag down the Ming Dynasty.
"Especially, the specific system, size, and specific division of the Ming army must be "specific", which is the key.
I know that planning to change the Governor's Office of the Five Army will inevitably cause considerable controversy in the court, but... some things can be delayed, but some things cannot!"
"Can the Ministry of War alone really manage the affairs of the Ming army? If we can, the army owned by the Ming Dynasty would never be in the current situation.
What is Wang Qing afraid of?
What are you afraid of in the Military Affairs Office?
Is it the state dynasty that will cause chaos in various places after doing these things? I don’t think so. I just assigned some of the powers under the Ministry of War to the name of the Governor’s Office of the Five Army, and transferred a group of officials from the Ministry of War to add additional services.
Will this cause a big mess if you enter the name of the Governor's Office of the Five Army?"
In view of the above-mentioned powers and scope of transfer, the Governor's Office of the Five Army should also make corresponding adjustments to ensure that what needs to be done in the future can be implemented smoothly, rather than just being formal!
This special office, which belongs to the Shandong Chengxuan Political Envoy Department, was indeed in the early Ming Dynasty. With a clear garrison system, it helped the court share a lot of pressure and helped the court protect the borders of Liao.
"The Governor's Office of the Five Army has been idle for too long in the past, so that they all became empty tubes." Emperor Chongzhen continued.
The governor's office of the Later Army was in charge of promotion.
If the matter involved in the reform of the Governor's Office of the Five Army is to wait until the situation eases slightly, then the Military Affairs Office will step by step..."
Why are these chronic diseases such as eating empty salary, drinking blood from soldiers, using power for personal gain, and committing favoritism and fraud in the Ming army? The root cause is that the power at the level of the state is unknown!”
An army without clear ownership, without energy and courage, is better off just not trying to draw a sword.
Wang Zaijin thought for a while, stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, the battle in Liao is now fierce, and not to mention that there are still many problems within the dynasty, which need to be solved smoothly.
However, as time goes by, the Ming Dynasty vassal office, which lost supervision and constraints, gradually evolved into a cancer of the Ming Dynasty, resulting in serious phenomena such as eating empty wages, drinking soldiers' blood, using power for personal gain, and committing favoritism and fraud, which then destroyed the atmosphere of the Ming army and made
Corruption has become a difficult disease to eradicate!
The gradual degeneration of the Ming army cannot be attributed to the civil servant group. It should be attributed to the loopholes in the system, but it did not improve in time. It was originally just a small problem, but as time went by, it gradually became a big problem.
This has led to the increasing problem.
"In my idea, what I will do in the future in the Ming Dynasty is to fully implement the new military system." Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wang Zaijin and the others and said with a firm look on his face.
Everyone hurriedly bowed and responded.
Emperor Chongzhen interrupted, "Now the Military Affairs Office is stepping up to make changes? Why do you have to wait a little longer?
Liaodong Dusi.
The Right Army Governor's Office is in charge of equipment.
If this underlying logic is violated, no matter how large the army is, it will be of no use, and it will eventually drag down the Ming Dynasty.
"I will obey the order."
yes.
Wang Zaijin raised his hand and bowed, "I have a deep feeling in my heart. The garrison and the clearance of the prefecture system are actually the right thing for the bitter and cold Liao area.
The Left Army Governor's Office is in charge of logistics affairs.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at the silent people and said aloud: "In addition, when it comes to matters of the navy, I will also transfer it to the Governor's Office of the Five Army.
The former military governor's office is in charge of supervision.
According to the overall concept of Emperor Chongzhen, the framework for involving the Ming army in the future will be led by the "Recruitment Department" and the Governor's Office of the Five Army will be in charge, with the war zone, military region and other practical institutions, with specific types of troops under its jurisdiction, and with clear construction levels.
The established army at all levels will separate the Ming Dynasty's military system from the Ming Dynasty's political system and be loyal to the Ming Emperor. This is the fundamental reason for maintaining the unification of the Ming Dynasty.
Don’t emphasize the difficulty to me. If you have this time and energy, it’s better to think more about how to implement this matter smoothly. This is my attitude.”
Especially under the rule of the prefectures and counties in western Liaoning, relatively suitable industries were established based on the situation in various places, which actually played a positive role for the state and the dynasty…”
The group of civil officials in the Ming Dynasty would seize the power of the Ministry of War in the past, and it was finally consolidated. Now Emperor Chongzhen wants to separate it, and this contradiction will inevitably be intensified.
But even so, things are not easy.
It is precisely this way that Emperor Chongzhen must accomplish something, namely the finalization of the Ming Constitution and some fundamental constitutions and constitutions, no matter who they are, cannot be changed, even the successors cannot be changed, after all, once power is lost
Restriction and supervision will lead to an irreversible situation.
However, if this is true, the power involved in the military budget must be solely under the jurisdiction of the "new cabinet". The annual military budget cannot exceed the normal operation of the country and the military budget cannot be increased uncontrollably for the sake of war.
The overall framework of the Ming Dynasty in the future will be a brand new framework.
What Emperor Chongzhen did not involve too much, but only redistributed the corresponding powers in the center of the Ming Dynasty.
The Diaoyutai is quiet.
The detailed division of powers must be done in the fifth year of Chongzhen. It will take me five years to abolish the garrisons in various places in the Ming Dynasty and initially build the Ming Navy.
The Central Army Governor's Office is in charge of planning all matters.
The system built by Emperor Chongzhen, although it is said that the civil servant group will still supervise military power, but it is not like the current one. It is called the civil servant group to control military power. As the armed force of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army must have a clear object of loyalty.
, that is the Emperor of Ming Dynasty!
If the Ming Emperor lost his military power, how could he have the power of the monarch?
However, the system built by Emperor Chongzhen is complicated compared to the Ming Dynasty during this period. If it is implemented smoothly, it will take 10 years or 20 years to make specific changes step by step. This is a big deal.
You must not be in a hurry for chess, you must move forward steadily.
“It’s a long road.”
Emperor Chongzhen felt a little moved, "The Ming army should not make any mistakes in making changes, otherwise riots from top to bottom will be inevitable."
