When it comes to Maritime Affairs, the kitten couldn't help but have another thought. The Maritime Affairs Bureau has a naval division under it, and the naval division is organized by the army. According to the rules, it naturally belongs to the Ministry of War. However, Qin Feng has not mentioned this issue yet, but has made the Maritime Affairs Bureau self-organized like the Railway Administration.

"Your Majesty, is this navy under the Maritime Department going to be under the Ministry of War?" he asked tentatively.

"This issue will be discussed later." Qin Feng did not have this plan for the time being. "For us, the Maritime Affairs Department is still a department that needs to be kept confidential. This department will not appear in the public government office and department budget. The establishment of the Maritime Affairs Department will still be limited to a very small circle. Their expenses do not require the use of the Ministry of War's budget, and they will be self-sufficiency."

The kitten was helpless when Qin Feng refused it.

"Yes, your Majesty."

Looking at the little cat's angrily expression, Qin Feng couldn't help but feel a little amused: "Kicket, tell me what's going on here."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The kitten looked at Qin Feng: "The first thing is the adaptation of the city gate army."

"How are the wild dogs doing? It's normal for newlyweds to be lazy a little!"

The kitten smiled and said, "He is very energetic now. The adaptation work of the City Gate Army has been basically completed. The city Gate Army, which originally had nearly 30,000 yuan, was eliminated by two thirds, leaving only more than 10,000 yuan. It was organized into two battle battalions, one was the Yulin Guard and the other was the Huben Guard. The two battle battalions each had five thousand people under their respective jurisdictions. Among them, the Yulin Guard's chief general was to be Jian Fang, and the Huben Guard's chief general was to be Zou Zheng. The Yulin Army's chief general was also to be the Wild Dog."

"Jian Fang's ability is no problem. He has been in the City Gate Army for nearly three years. It can be said that the City Gate Army has been barely able to use it in recent years. He has made indelible contributions. As the head general of a battle camp, he has been half a square. But what happened to Zou Zheng? Isn't he the deputy general of the Miner's Battalion? Did he pass with Lu Feng in advance?"

"Your Majesty, this is true. Didn't Zou be seriously injured in the Battle of Hengdian? Since then, he has been recuperating in Yuejing. During this period, did the wild dog also recover from the injury in Beijing? The two guys were both sick and sympathized with each other. After their injuries improved slightly, they often got together, which was very good. Zou Zheng, who was born in the Green Forest, was followed by Zou Ming earlier and was the main general of the Pili Camp. Later, he exchanged with Yang Zhi and became the deputy general of the Miner's Camp. He had no problem with his qualifications. So this time, the wild dog proposed to let him serve as the main general of the Hu Ben Guard, and I think there was no problem."

"Let's choose another chief general in the Hu Ben Guard. Zou Zheng, I'm going to let him go to Baoqing Camp to serve as chief general." Qin Feng thought for a while and said. "Wang Qinian, the deputy general of the Liehuo Death Camp, now has the ability to stand alone, so I will transfer Wang Qinian to the Hu Ben Guard to serve as chief general."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The kitten nodded. The adapted Yulin Army will be the only armed force in Yuejing City except for the Liehuo Death Camp. It is natural for Your Majesty to appoint Wang Qinian. Moreover, the officers and soldiers of the Liehuo Death Camp have been released as officers of various departments over the years, which is an example. Your Majesty is willing to delegate political affairs to the Political Affairs Hall, but he will never let the army go so casually. He must be firmly in his own hands.

"The Yulin Army is the wing of Yuejing City. The officers and soldiers must have innocent origins. You must grasp this point. Sometimes wild dogs are a little confused about it." Qin Feng reminded.

"Don't worry, your Majesty, these people are all good families in Yuejing City or the counties under Yuejing City. Everyone's resume is clear, and there are files to check in the Ministry of War." The kitten answered Qin Fengdao with affirmative answer.

"Well, how about the combat effectiveness after the adaptation?"

The kitten laughed: "Your Majesty, the combat effectiveness of the city gate army was indeed not very good in the past. The main reason is that there are too many people who are mercilessly swept out of the house. You are not unaware of the wild dog's temperament. Even Shangshu Su was very annoyed. Those who stayed were all very good boys, and you also know that even if these people are not very good now, they will be in the hands of the wild dog, and within half a year, you will give you a powerful army. The wild dog directly transferred ten lieutenants and fifty whistle commanders from the Canglang Camp. Now the training of the two guards has been launched vigorously. The wild dog even said that in a year, it will be shorter than the Liehuo Death Camp, which makes the horse and monkey angry. "

"I'm afraid it's not realistic to compare with the Fire Death Camp." Qin Feng also laughed: "If the Fire Death Camp is a cavalry and an infantryman is a dismount, even an ordinary soldier can compete with ordinary troops. If the wild dog really wants to compete with the horse and monkey, he will probably lose a lot in the future. But this spirit is still very good. Let him practice first. After the official army is officially established, the two guards will take turns to the front line to fight. As the elite guards of the capital, it's not OK to not fight."

"This is the reason, Your Majesty." The kitten looked for granted. The army that had never seen blood and had never been on the battlefield could never call itself elite. No matter how well the training was, it was just looking glamorous outside. The battlefield was the place where the quality of a unit was truly tested. As the saying goes, it was a mule or a horse, and you could tell if you pulled it out and slipped it away.

"Your Majesty, according to the previous plan, the Canglang Camp and the Miner Battalion have been officially transferred back to Yuejing City, one stationed in Kunwu County and the other stationed in Nanyang County, just south and north to protect Yuejing City. Ruijin Camp has also arrived in Zhengyang County, the Menghu Camp is stationed in Shayang County, and Lu Yifan's Houtu Camp has also been replenished. It is now stationed in Taiping City to protect Taiping City and Daye City. The Pili Camp is stationed in Izumo County, and the Zhuifeng Camp is also located now. However, after the war is stable, the Zhuifeng Camp will also be transferred back to Yuejing City. Baoqing Camp is stationed in Yongping County, while other troops are stationed in Wuling War Zone and Kaiping War Zone respectively."

"Well. Another group of soldiers should be retired this year, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, according to the court's policy, more than 15,000 soldiers in all the troops this year should be retired, but the Ministry of War and the generals of each department are still quite unfair." The kitten looked at Qin Feng and said, "It's just me, I have different opinions on this."

"What do you mean?" Qin Feng raised his eyebrows.

"These soldiers who are going to retire this year, put aside those injured and unable to fight, the others are experienced veterans. Retiring them will reduce the combat effectiveness of the troops in a short period of time, and the officers are even more reluctant to let them go!"

"How can I do if I don't leave?" Qin Feng snorted: "Once the soldiers are over thirty years old, they must retire. Our Ming Dynasty implemented the elite military strategy. There are only so many troops. If these people do not retreat, how can young people take over? If they keep staying above the army, their physical strength will decline in a few years, and their combat effectiveness will no longer be at its peak. I remembered to eliminate them at that time. Isn't it too late? In the past two years, I have not had a major war in the Ming Dynasty. If I don't take this time to solve this problem, I will suffer a great loss in the future. A new recruit can be brought out in the army in a maximum of one year. All officers must recognize this problem."

"In fact, it can expand the army!" said the kitten.

Qin Feng burst into laughter: "You said this to the Prime Minister and Su Kairong and others, and see if they spray your saliva on your face, expand your army? Then you need military pay and equipment. Not counting these. Just expanding the food, drink, defecation and slaughter of a war camp is a big figure in a year. Do you think the Ming Dynasty can afford it now?"

The kitten was stunned. In fact, on this issue, he had a private communication with the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Revenue. As Qin Feng said, he was sprayed with saliva on his face by these two people. He wanted His Majesty to open this mouth, but unexpectedly, he was blocked by His Majesty as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Kimmers, you can actually think about this matter in another way." Qin Feng said lightly: "These people have retired, and the army will indeed have a period of adaptation, but there are more warriors among the people of the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, why would I allow these soldiers to bring their own armor, weapons, etc. to return home? If there is anything, with the order, these people can gather under the Daming Sun and Moon Banner. They are all veterans and are quite familiar with the Ming Dynasty's military laws. At that time, there will be more elite battle camps without any effort. Are you right?"

Listening to Qin Feng's words, the kitten couldn't help but be speechless. It turns out that your Majesty is trying to save military expenses! But thinking about it, although these people have retired, the skills they have learned in the army will not be lost.

"Besides, your Ministry of War can also use them to truly enrich the reserve system of the Ming Dynasty. These people can return to their hometowns and organize young and strong people in the villages to carry out military training during the slack season! I think these people must be very happy to do such things."

"Your Majesty, it's also a matter of money to do these things." The kitten spread his hands, "I can't let them do it in vain."

"It depends on your ability as the Minister of War! Why do you save money and get things done well? If you have to find a way to find a way for everything, then what else do I want you to do?" Qin Feng laughed.

Hearing Qin Feng's cheating statement, the kitten couldn't help but be speechless. This is a typical example of wanting horses to run away, and not giving them grass. However, what Your Majesty said is indeed a way. If these retired veterans are allowed to use their remaining energy, return to their hometowns and organize young and strong military training, in this way, in the future, these young and strong people join the army, the time for the army to train them will be greatly reduced. Moreover, once the country really wants to use large-scale troops, these young and strong people can be requisitioned immediately, and their combat effectiveness is considerable.
