Chapter 18: Zhu Yunwen's Methods
Zhu Yunwen wanted to reform the military system, and the first thing to blow up was the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.
Although Emperor Taizu has begun to gradually reduce the powers of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies in the Hongwu Dynasty, there are still many reservations about the ability to control the army because most of the chief officials in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies are after the founding of the country.
Zhu Yunwen changed the military system this time, the Beijing camp was reorganized and trained the new army, and they didn't care about the elimination of old and weak soldiers, so that a group of old and weak soldiers returned home This is a benevolent government, and there are tens of thousands of people less, and they are nothing more than cutting off a batch of extra income every year, which has little impact, but the new army is established, and the generals in the army will be selected by Tie Xuan, so they are not happy.
Everyone swarmed to find Xu Huizu and Li Jinglong, hoping to enter the palace to face the saint, but the two had no choice, so they had to lead dozens of people to run outside the noon gate to ask for a meeting.
Zhu Yunwen had already prepared, and directly sent people into the Wuying Hall to listen to their complaints.
"Jingying, has this become your private soldier?"
Zhu Yunwen picked up the teacup and blew lightly, "Are you here to force the palace?" ”
Led by Xu Huizu, everyone was suddenly frightened and fell to the ground to confess.
"It looks like I'm still young." Zhu Yunwen snorted coldly, "Taizu demolished the capital governor's mansion for the five armies, but I didn't see the king of Zhongshan at the beginning, and they bullied the palace like you!" ”
The big guy kowtowed, "The minister is waiting for ten thousand deaths." ”
Zhu Yunwen looked at them coldly, "I have not abolished the Five Military Mansions, and all of them are still first-class and second-grade martial arts generals, leading the court and enjoying the admiration of the army, what's the matter, I moved your command power, and I can't wait to break into the palace one by one, okay, the dynasty is only more than 30 years, Taizu is only a hundred days, you want to be Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, and deceive me young!" ”
Xu Huizu cried bitterly, "Since ancient times, the monarch wants the minister to die, the minister does not die for disloyalty, the father wants the son to die, the son does not die for unfilial piety, His Majesty is the monarch's father, that is, let the courtiers and so on to die, we do not dare to hesitate the slightest, so as to bear the infamy of disloyalty and unfilial piety, today, the ministers and other arrogance, it is worth ten thousand deaths, but please Your Majesty to withdraw the words of the people, otherwise, the ministers and future generations of children and grandchildren will be ashamed for life." ”
I saw a ghost crying wolf howling in the hall, and a few, I don't know if it was pretended or real, and the head was smashed out of blood on the ground. Zhu Yunwen finally sighed, "Get up, I just take it back." ”
A group of thirty or forty-year-old men cried like a baby, who could stand it.
Zhu Yunwen didn't expect that his words could scare them into such bears, so he had to coax them again, and then stopped crying.
"Go and call the Imperial Doctor and bandage a few generals."
Seeing a few, his head was bleeding, Zhu Yunwen felt that he had a headache, "Qing and the others are all veterans of a hundred battles, and their bodies and bones are the pillars of optimus of my Ming Dynasty, and the slightest injury is the loss of Jiangshan Sheji, in the future, it must not be like this." ”
"The minister's behavior should die quickly, Your Majesty's benevolence and righteousness are forgiven, how dare the minister be concerned about His Majesty again."
Zhu Yunwen sighed, "Qing and others don't have to be like this, the training of the new army is my idea for the society, not to believe in Qing and others, let alone think of seizing power, when he becomes an army in the new army and goes out to fight, in addition to Qing and others, who can I trust." ”
The stick was smashed hard enough, no matter what, it was time to give a sweet date, Zhu Yunwen said again, "I know, because of the military department a few years ago, the big guys are a little nervous, for fear that one day, the right to command the battle will be lost to the group of scholars in the military department, all of them are worried about the country, and everything they do is also based on national affairs, and it is too late for me to be relieved."
The so-called good soldier generals, professional things of course to use professional people, the military department Shangshu Qi Tai, is the minister of my shallow mansion, I know this person, scholarly ears, do not understand military affairs, therefore, I plan, in the future, the military department is only responsible for recruitment, inventory, inspection of armaments, as for military training, command matters, are still determined by the five military governors. ”
Everyone was surprised and hurriedly praised, "Your Majesty Shengming." ”
"What I can trust is the minister of the humerus after all."
Zhu Yunwen said with confidence, "Heavy generals and strong vassals, in the end it is unstable, the five military governors control the world's soldiers and horses, but the border defense of the four places, each has its own regulations, so that there are many hidden dangers, I plan to change the five military governors to the central, eastern, southern, western, and northern five armies, Jiubian, Liaodong, and Monan to the Northern Army Governor's Office, Gansu, Sichuan, and Guanxi Qiwei to the Western Army Governor's Office, Shandong Wei, Min and Zhejiang Water Divisions to the Eastern Army Governor's Office, Yungui, and Liangguang to the Southern Army Governor's Office, and the Jingying New Army to the Central Army Governor's Office, what do you think?" ”
Is this, pie in the sky?
Xu Huizu and Li Jinglong glanced at each other, and felt that the emperor was making fun of them, so that all the military power in the world belonged to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, such a good thing?
After the big guy's ecstasy, there was a burst of surprise, and for a while, no one spoke, and he couldn't guess what Zhu Yunwen was thinking.
"Only by streamlining the organization can we facilitate the access of military orders, otherwise we will mislead the country and the people if we delay the military aircraft."
Zhu Yunwen took the initiative to explain, "In the past, the imperial court used troops, ordered the military to send troops, and then went around the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and then went to the nine sides, and the king of the nine sides had to change it according to the actual situation, which was cumbersome and complicated, and I didn't like it.
In the future, if there is a war, the General Staff Office will formulate a military strategy, the Governor's Office of the five armies will send generals, the General Staff Office will send accompanying army staff officers, and the frontier will only be responsible for sending troops. ”
I know that it is impossible for the emperor to put down the military power!
Sending troops to the border areas, selecting generals from the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and formulating military strategies from the General Staff Office?
The command is not all in the hands of your old man! With the General Staff Office, the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces nominally controls the soldiers and horses of the world, but in fact it is only responsible for military training and armament.
The big guy felt bitter in his heart, but he felt that it was good to do so, at least there would be less suspicion from the monarchs and ministers in the future, so that he would be killed.
"I also know that the families of the secretaries often have frequent disputes with the household department over military expenses."
Zhu Yunwen continued to say what he thought in his heart, "The army is the barrier of my Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers shed blood and sacrificed in exchange for the peace of the world. ”
The emperor is so ruthless!
After taking over the command and logistics, they, the martial artists of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, no longer expect to make a little oil and water.
In the past, they all said by themselves how much they spent on the military, first asking for five million taels, and then grinding their tongues with the households, and in the end, there will always be two or three million down, and when the time comes, the money and grain will be distributed according to the actual head of the army, and the rest of the big guys will be divided.
It's good now, the Ministry of War checks the soldiers, and the General Logistics Department is directly stationed and distributed, and they can only stare at these martial arts!
"I'm still adding details about these things, but I'm not in a hurry."
Seeing that a large group of people were completely honest, Zhu Yunwen smiled very happily, "There is one thing that I have to do quickly." ”
"Your Majesty, please."
"The fourth day of the first lunar month is the day of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, I want to set this day as the National Day, and wait for the National Day next year, I will award medals to you in the Fengtian Palace, and I sent the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to make a batch of gold medals.
On the day of the National Day, celebrate with the country; Awarded medals and meritorious service, and hundreds of officials congratulated.
A group of people thought in their hearts that since the rights had been taken away by the emperor, it would not be bad to have a good reputation.
"Ministers, thank Your Majesty Longen, long live my emperor!"
