"What do you think of the other groups?"

Glancing at the other emperors and princes, Ji Boying asked symbolically.

"My military reform in this dynasty is not much different from that of my elder brother."

Zhu Laosi spoke repeatedly, and Lao Zhu Di also nodded.

Emperor Hongxi and Emperor Xuande all followed suit.

As for the group of Emperor students in the second period, except for the Jiajing time and space, which has changed the timeline for several years.

The reform of the military system of other dynasties has not yet been fully implemented. After all, their time is limited, and the reform needs to be carried out step by step, especially the change of the military system, which is not a simple matter overnight.

To find a suitable opportunity, we must also make a unified movement on a certain time line for each time and space in the second period.

After all, Ji Boying can't just wait for the slow flow of time in various time and space. When it's time to fast forward, he still has to fast forward.

"Brother, is there any problem with this?"

Lao Zhu frowned slightly and asked subconsciously. He had actually felt the effect and thought it was very good.

"Yeah."

Ji Boying took a deep breath and then stood up.

"The points A Biao just mentioned are not problematic in terms of the restructuring itself."

"It's just that this kind of change in the military system actually treats the symptoms rather than the root cause, even if it is the establishment of military regions in thirteen provinces across the country."

‘Treating the symptoms but not the root cause?’

Hearing this, the expressions of all the emperors and princes condensed slightly, and they all listened attentively.

Especially the emperor and the prince in the first period, they all took the class about the military system. Following A Biao's narration just now, they somewhat remembered the content of the class at that time.

‘Master Immortal indeed mentioned emphatically in the previous class that the specific military reform of each dynasty needs to be formulated based on the actual conditions of different time and space.’

‘No matter how it is changed, the core purpose is to improve the status of soldiers and generals in the system.’

A Biao's heart tightened in his seat.

He suddenly realized a very serious problem, and he also committed it.

And maybe this problem is not just his fault, but other people too.

That is, rigid.

'We just followed the points mentioned by the immortal master in the previous class and changed them. On the contrary, we did not remember the last and most important sentence and did not think about it ourselves.'

‘The teachings of immortal teachers have always been based on the purpose of teaching people how to fish rather than teaching people how to fish.’

‘My answer just now must have disappointed Master Immortal very much.’

Taking a deep breath, Abiao looked at the Immortal Master on the podium, with a deep sense of guilt in his eyes, as if he felt that as a top student, he had failed to live up to the Immortal Master's high expectations.

"Listen up."

Ji Boying clasped his hands behind his waist, stood at the center of the podium, and swept past the group of emperors and princes.

The words fell.

All the emperors and princes sitting on their seats straightened their backs instantly.

"How to fundamentally solve the status of generals."

Ji Boying folded slightly, picked up the pen dipped in ink from the stand, and the pen flew past, writing four words on the rice paper: separation of military and political affairs.

"First, set up a military pavilion corresponding to the cabinet. When the empire responds to troops, the garrison and army attack matters are all issued by the military pavilion. The cabinet only has the right to consult and be informed."

"Second, the post of Minister of the Ministry of War is also the minister of the cabinet and the minister of the Wuge, serving as a bridge between the two cabinets."

This setting is very similar to the Minister of Defense in later generations, who was both a State Councilor and a Military Commissioner.

"Third, don't forget this. The power of military command, the power of promotion and deployment of soldiers, and the power of allocating military supplies and supplies all belong to the emperor. What the Wuge has is the power of daily training of the world's troops and horses, and other processes.

Like the cabinet, it only has the power to draw up votes on major military matters, and the emperor's approval and seal are required for final effect."

"Fourth, it is established that the ancestral iron system separates civil and military affairs. Civilians govern civil affairs and military men govern military affairs. The ministers of the military cabinet cannot be appointed by civil servants. Similarly, the ministers of the cabinet cannot be served by military generals. The functions of the cabinet and the military cabinet cannot be replaced alternately.

."

Although the ancestral system cannot ensure implementation, to a certain extent, it can act as a constraint for those who break the system and can have a certain effect.

As I have said before, there is no perfect system in the world, nor is there an eternal system, only a relatively longer-lasting system.

The words fell.

Anyone sitting here who has read the history of the Song Dynasty will have two words come to mind.

‘Under Zhongshu’s door.’

‘Privy Council.’

After listening to this, Abiao frowned.

‘No, what the Immortal Master said, combined with the situation of our Ming Dynasty, this is much more perfect than the two-government system of the Song Dynasty.’

Ji Boying glanced at the group of emperors and princes who were thinking, and he probably guessed what they were thinking.

The two-government system in the Song Dynasty essentially separated military and political affairs.

It's just that Lao Zhao's idea of ​​doing this was not to protect the status of generals, but to reduce the power of the prime minister and use the military power divided by the Privy Council to divide the prime minister.

Therefore, a problem will occur.

Because the monarch's power is relatively uncentralized, the reduction of the prime minister's power is incomplete.

As mentioned before, the so-called prime ministerial power means having arbitrary power to a certain extent.

So when the throne was passed to Song Zhenzong, the third emperor of the Song Dynasty, the Privy Council had already been eroded by the power of the prime minister.

First, there was the power of military supplies, then the power of appointing and removing generals, then the power of national defense and military affairs. Finally, it completely evolved into the central prime minister actually controlling the military power. The Privy Council became a complete empty show, and the Privy Councilor and Privy Deputy Councilor became honorary titles.

.

In the future, Ping Zhangshi (prime minister) under Tong Zhongshu's family often served as the envoy to the Privy Council.

For example, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others were awarded the official position of deputy envoy to the Privy Council after their military power was taken away. In fact, they were promoted openly and secretly.

There are three reasons that lead to this situation.

First, the independence of the prime minister, so that the pursuit of progress and expansion by the prime minister will naturally erode the power of the Privy Council to control the army.

Second, the Song Dynasty's basic national policy of advocating civility and suppressing military power. After the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, they were extremely uneasy about military personnel and worried that the military power of the Privy Council would be too much. Even though the Privy Council was established, civil servants were still in charge of the Privy Council, and military generals had no decision-making power at all.

In essence, it is a continuous suppression of military generals from the national level. The battle between the two governments is, in the final analysis, a battle between civil servants.

Third, the imperial power was not centralized enough, so that even if future kings wanted to check and balance, they would not be able to recreate the balance.

However, these problems did not exist in Ming Dynasty.

First of all, in the Ming Dynasty, there was no such thing as prime minister power at all, and the cabinet did not have the conditions to corrode the military pavilion.

Whether it is the cabinet or the military cabinet, after its establishment, its essential functions are only the political secretary and military secretary of the emperor. All decision-making power and final interpretation power are in the hands of the emperor.

Secondly, it establishes the ancestral iron law that civilized people govern civilized affairs and military men govern military affairs. The original intention of establishing the Civil and Military Pavilion is mainly to improve the status of soldiers and generals and ensure the co-governance of civil and military affairs in temples and the balance between civil and military affairs. This starting point is the same as that of Lao Zhao of the Song Dynasty.

The suppression of military personnel is also completely different.

Third, the fundamental nature of the Martial Pavilion and the Privy Council are different. The establishment of the Martial Pavilion actually means that the emperor personally controls the military. On the contrary, it will strengthen the emperor's control over the imperial army, and there is no need to worry about the excessive military power of the military.

"Rest for a quarter of an hour, and we will continue with the rest of the practical observation class."

Say it.

Ji Boying didn't care whether these people had figured out the problem or not, and gave Lao Zhu a look to suggest that he should come to my room.

Then he turned down and got off the podium, and walked along the mahogany stairs to the private room on the top of the pavilion.

Lao Zhu was overjoyed: Now we can see nuclear bombs!

With an anxious look on his face, he hurriedly followed Ji Boying upstairs with A Biao in tow.

The last time Lao Zhu was so anxious was during the wedding night with his sister.
Chapter completed!
