Chapter 46 The Cabinet and the Cabinet
The Great Sui army totaled about 5 million, but now most of them are used as guards, scattered to guard various places and passes.
There are not many places where an army is really formed.
Song Que led an army of 100,000 to defend Lingnan, and Luo Yi led an army of 200,000 to guard Youzhou.
With the prestige of Han Baohu and He Ruobi, there is no problem in commanding 200,000 troops each, and they will soon be able to form combat effectiveness.
Yu Kuluo commanded an army of 100,000, and he could add another 100,000 after a while.
Yang Lin's headquarters also has 100,000 soldiers and horses, and 100,000 can be added.
Jiangnan's Laihu'er and Zuo Tiancheng, this is a rare formed army, if it weren't for the suppression of Jiangnan and the prevention of Song Quan, Yang Jian would not have agreed at the beginning.
In addition, it is the 300,000 army of Wu Jianzhang, Qiu Rui, and Ding Yanping, who are now imprisoned, and the army is also idle.
It is necessary to have 2 million troops to defend all parts of the Great Sui, and there are 1.4 million troops left for the remaining 3 million, and there is no clear commander.
These have to be addressed.
However, the Great Sui does have many generals now, but it takes time to form combat effectiveness.
As for whether these generals will have any dissenting intentions towards him, he doesn't care, under the general trend, all they can do is surrender.
····
Under the seemingly stable government, another month has passed.
Wu Yunzhao, Wei Wentong, Xin Wenli, Shang Shifu, Zhang Xutuo, Yang Yichen, Pei Renji and Yang Xuangan, a total of eight people, returned to Daxing to report on their work, and then began to form their own 100,000 army.
They also have a foundation, based on their old subordinates, it won't take a year or two to give full play to the strength of the army.
Among the eight people, Wu Yunzhao, Yang Xuangan, Wei Wentong, Xin Wenli, and Shang Shifu are brave generals, Zhang Xuluo and Yang Yichen are wise generals, enough to serve as the commander of the three armies, and Pei Renji is a little worse, but it is okay.
And like the rest of the Great Sui generals, those who are enough to serve as the commanders of the three armies are Han Baohu, He Ruobi, Yang Lin, and Yang Su.
Therefore, there is no shortage of brave generals in the Great Sui, what is lacking is a famous general who serves as the commander of the three armies.
Others include Liu Fang, Wei Yunqi, Chen Ling, Zhang Zhenzhou and others, all of whom are available talents.
Since the emperor's accession to the throne, the army has not stopped, except for a few people who have been purged, and there have not been many deaths.
this day.
In the early dynasty, in terms of government affairs, Emperor Zishou finally started the first big move, and it was a direct order.
The three-province system was abolished, and a cabinet and a military cabinet were added.
There are five cabinet ministers and two products.
They were Gao Gong, Pei Ju, Yu Shiji, Su Wei, and Cui Yi, and the five people assisted the emperor in handling state affairs, and at the same time supervised five ministries, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Industry, the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Rites.
and the current five departments of Shangshu Pei Yun, Li Tong, Zheng Wen, Yu Wenhua, and Changsun Sheng, jointly manage the five departments.
There are five ministers of the military cabinet, and they are two products.
Yang Lin, Han Baohu, He Ruobi, Yang Su, and Qiu Rui jointly managed the military department.
Responsible for helping the emperor deal with the country's military affairs, but did not have the right to transfer troops.
From then on, the army did not care about politics, and politics did not care about the army.
As soon as the content of the holy decree came out, except for one or two people, everyone was shocked, and they were all thinking quickly about the pros and cons.
There is no doubt that this is a big move by the emperor to centralize power, and it was directly issued by a holy decree, showing that incomparable determination and domineering.
In terms of administrative affairs, the cabinet ministers and the five ministries jointly manage the five ministries, which means that the functions and powers of the five ministries are bound to be extended to all aspects of the country, which is a good thing.
But these ten people will also be the result of mutual checks and balances.
The same is true for military affairs, and the functions and powers of the Ministry of War will certainly be expanded by more than one or two times.
However, such a separation of military and government, each of which is integrated, also means that the emperor's power will reach a peak.
In this way, it seems that their power has expanded, but in fact, the increase in imperial power means that the power of their courtiers has become smaller.
The vast majority of people are still thinking about the pros and cons, Gao Gong, Yang Lin, and Qiu Rui, who has already returned to obedience, as well as Han Baohu and other military personnel have already saluted and received orders.
Suddenly, Pei Ju, Changsun Sheng, Yu Wenhua, Su Wei, and Yu Shiji, Pei Yun, and others, who were representatives of the southern family, all saluted and received the order.
Seeing this, those officials of neutral or small factions also saluted and accepted the order.
Between breaths, only the people led by Shandong Shijia Group were left standing on the spot.
Cui Yi, Li Tong, and Zheng Wen were shocked in their hearts, but when they saw the majestic gaze from above, they could only salute.
A change involving the upper and lower levels of the Great Sui began.
Although some people disagree with this, they can't change it under the general trend, so they can only look at it first.
The formation of the cabinet and the military cabinet is complicated and complicated, but it is neither complicated nor complicated, and it is mainly a change in the top level and an expansion of the powers of the six ministries.
But after all, it is a major event involving the whole country, and it will be done initially after more than ten days, but it will take some time to get all the ministers to get used to this way of governing.
However, the five people in the military pavilion are easier to get started.
When the cabinet was formed, the emperor issued another holy decree.
Restore the Guozijian, Taixue, and Zhou and County Schools that were abolished by Yang Jian.
In this regard, the vast majority of Manchu officials were happy.
Especially those in the family, because the imperial court set up a school, but those who can afford to go to school are all children of the family, even if it is a poor family, it is actually part of the family, but they are now in decline.
Anyway, it's all from the family.
And a large part of the officials elected by the imperial court must be selected from the national eunuchs, how can they be unhappy?
However, the content of the holy decree immediately made those big families frown.
The school is divided into civil and military affairs, and will be spread throughout every prefecture and county in the Great Sui, and children who have reached the age of six and those who are under the age of thirteen must go to school, and the school fees are all free, and the taxes paid by those who do not go to the school will be increased by two percent.
The Manchu Dynasty was shocked.
"Your Majesty, in this way, the burden of my Great Sui will be heavy, and in the long run, my Great Sui will be overwhelmed. Li Tong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, immediately stood up and said loudly.
"The minister reconsidered, the emperor's move has too much impact, so it is better to discuss more. Zheng Wen, the secretary of the Criminal Department, immediately stood up.
Immediately, Cui Wen, Yu Shiji and other officials from Shandong, Jiangnan and other families all stood up, and when they heard this holy decree, they just shuddered when they thought about it.
Those mud legs can go to school and study!
No, absolutely not.
Even Yu Wenhua and these people are instinctively opposed, although they go to school and study, it does not mean that they can become officials.
But if the emperor does this, there must be a policy afterwards, and they must not watch it.
This is simply a major event related to the family for thousands of years.
And Gao Gong, Pei Ju and others thought about it for a while, and there was a touch of heat in their hearts, but in this way, the burden on the court was indeed very heavy, and the involvement was too great.
The emperor's face did not change, and his indifferent and resolute voice sounded: "There is no need to discuss this matter. ”
"Your Majesty, the ministers think it's inappropriate, this is a major matter related to the survival of the country, and it must not be ignored!" Zheng Wen said with a firm face.
The emperor's gaze gradually became extremely oppressive, and he looked at Zheng Wendao and said, "Do you think what I did was wrong?"
Zheng Wen's heart jumped, but he still didn't back down and said: "The minister doesn't dare, but in this way, my Great Sui will definitely be overwhelmed!"
"Take down Zheng Wen, demote him to a commoner, and never hire him. "The faint words are like a very ordinary little thing.
But people, including Zheng Wen, were stunned.
Even Gao Gong and even the people in the military pavilion were a little at a loss, this was the head of the Zheng family, one of the seven families with five surnames, who was in the Ministry of Punishment, or when the current emperor had just sat on the throne in that way.
They were stunned, but Xiao Guowei, who was guarding the main hall, was not stunned, and directly began to take people.
Zheng Wen felt angry and ashamed in his heart, for many years, no one dared to do this to him.
But Mana didn't dare to move at all, and his lowered gaze was extremely gloomy, as if he was watching a good show.
The next moment, nearly ten officials stood up and interceded for Zheng Wen.
Cui Yi and Li Tong were stunned for a moment, and after the old god was there, they were about to signal their own people to intercede for Zheng Wen.
But above, the emperor's voice had already sounded: "Take down all these people, demote them to concubines, and never hire them." ”
