Chapter 225 Temporary Institutions
The quarrel continued, and the emperor, as the arbiter, was biased, and the outcome of this court discussion, at least in the general direction, had long been determined.
At the beginning, he rejected the strategy of recruiting Hui peasants south of the Tianshan Mountains to settle for reclamation, and he was destined to emigrate with Han Chinese, otherwise he would have spent so much money in vain.
This is also doomed to the fact that the resistance to the dismantling of the old army and the supervision of the new army is not so great, and it is necessary to resettle anyway, and the retrenched soldiers can be used for immigration.
On the other hand, if it had been decided to recruit the Hui peasants south of the Tianshan Mountains to reclaim the land, or if Liu Yu had not killed the "Said" of the Black Mountain faction and the Baishan faction by the hands of the Dzungars, perhaps it would have been possible to use the Hui to control Mongolia and rule in bondage.
Li Gan looked at the posture of a group of hungry wolves besieging a fierce tiger in the court, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
On the matter of the navy, Liu Yu tore his face and made a lot of nonsense, and did not hesitate to use heart-wrenching words and methods to expose scars. When it comes to the army's military reform, it is much more honest and reasonable.
condescendingly looked at it, and it could be seen that Liu Yu's mind was really on the sea. In the East and in the South Seas, otherwise there would not have been such a "subordinate act" when arguing about the Navy just now.
The argument came to this point, and Li Gan asked the ceremonial officer to stop the quarrel.
"What Zhu Qing said makes sense, but judging from the trade-offs, I am more inclined to Ying Sabo's statement. There are no foreign invincible foreign patients, and the country will perish. ”
"When the previous dynasty arrived at Yongle, the army was still dominating the world, with slaves in the north and Western Oceans in the south. At that time, who would have thought of the civil fort? ”
"The same is true of the dynasty. Since it is known that the Western military system is excellent, reform is imperative. The secretary and the others did not object, the only thing they were arguing about was whether to change the guns, or whether they moved up and down? ”
"I can see it too. What Eagle Sabo means is that there are benefits to such a change; The main problem with your opposition is the fear that such a change will lead to chaos. In this case, why not listen to the opinion of the general in charge of the army? ”
His gaze wandered and turned to Jiang Chen, the general who had been leading the troops in the northwest.
This is the madman who was young and arrogant in Wude Palace, saying, "If it weren't for the shadow of your ancestors, how could you be a classmate with me".
used to be regarded as the head of the non-noble family in the Wude Palace, and it is not an exaggeration to call it an idol.
It's just that the arrogance of youth is now long gone.
Instead, he was crowned a prince and became a nobleman, so he naturally felt ridiculous about his wild words at the beginning, and of course he hoped that his children and grandchildren would be shaded.
Now that the overall situation has been decided, the military power must be withdrawn.
Originally, he thought that the British Duke was very old, and Jiang Chen thought that he was going to take the British Prince's vacancy into the Heavenly Blessing Palace. But the emperor's intention seems to be to bring the head of the general staff or the Privy Council into the Heavenly Blessing Palace, so that military power becomes the power and responsibility of the emperor.
This point was only discussed privately with him by the emperor before, and the Privy Council definitely did not have the power to control the army, and in the eyes of a general like him, it was clearly a retirement home.
Now that the overall situation has been decided and the quasi-ministry has been leveled, it is also a good thing to hand over the military power early, both for the emperor and for himself.
Glancing at Liu Yu, who was silent, Jiang Chen shook his head secretly, the era of his heart has changed.
He had read the combat records of the Qingzhou Army, and the layman watched it lively and felt bored. He is the one who leads the troops to fight, but he understands what the marching speed and formation changing skills of the Qingzhou Army mean.
If you talk about a strong army, it is naturally a strong army. Liu Yu handed over the military power casually and was not greedy, which not only proved that this army can change generals at any time, but also proved that there is still a fighting power under the rotation system of soldiers and generals.
Perhaps, this is also a good thing for military generals. lest the emperor be uneasy all day long, for fear that the generals would make trouble.
At this time, the emperor asked him to make a statement, he supported it in his heart, and his ass also supported it.
However, in fact, the emperor did not ask him whether he supported it, but asked him whether the army stationed in Shaanxi and Gansu could be stabilized if the army was reformed and abolished.
He is responsible for what he has said.
The military reform depends on his prestige, of course, it will offend a group of people, but in exchange for the safe handover of military power in the Heavenly Blessing Palace.
These things don't need to be said explicitly, just a little bit.
Now the emperor asks him if he can change smoothly without any chaos, in fact, he is telling him to stand on the last shift.
Stand, then land smoothly, go straight to the Privy Council as the chief of staff, enter the Heavenly Blessing Palace, and achieve the last step of many people's dream of entering the general phase.
Bad standing...... That's a lot to say.
It can be considered that this is a deliberate instigation by virtue of the prestige in the army, or it can be considered a lack of ability, but the reason can always be found.
The difficulty of military reform itself is not very great, especially for the Xijing garrison, there are not many people to be dismissed, and most of the people who are dismissed are also transferred to the people to go to the Western Regions to reclaim.
Another is that the Northwest Army does not have too many proud soldiers this time.
Leveling this matter, Liu Yu showed his face and snatched away the originally estimated number of earls, many viscounts and barons, and a large number of honors.
I thought that if a national war was settled, it would be as simple as a counterinsurgency.
Liu Yu was only made an earl, and even if the rest of the people were wronged, they had nothing to say.
There are not so many people with outstanding military achievements, and it is not up to him to select and evaluate military ranks.
Jiang Chen had already understood that he was asked to go to Northwest Town for two years to cooperate with the people who had been airborne by the imperial court, which was actually to separate and reduce all his prestige and connections in the Northwest Army for many years.
He was just standing there for the people who had parachuted in for the court, on the platform.
Thinking about this clearly, Jiang Chen's attitude was also very happy, and he took the initiative to stand up and take this matter.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the matter of military reform, in the long run, will benefit the country and the people, and it is very feasible. The armies of Jingying, Xijing and other places can be promoted first. ”
"Uncle Ying also said, ask for delay and not urgency, this is true. If the armies in these two places carry out the military reform first and succeed, they can be extended throughout the country. ”
"The Northwest Army, the minister Mao recommended himself, please go to the town for two years. After the abolition and reform, the minister was invited to return to Beijing. ”
"After many years of fighting, the wind and frost have suffered, and the minister's body is also a little painful."
"Second, the minister really feels that there is a gap between what the minister has learned and the tactics used by Ying Saobo, and he needs to study it carefully and ask for advice."
These words gave the emperor enough face, and he took the initiative to take what the emperor wanted to do, and by the way, he supported Liu Yu.
Even the generals of the Northwest Army have stated that they want to study and study again, otherwise they will not be able to keep up with the times, and the rest of the people have nothing to say?
The emperor didn't respond directly, so he pretended to regret it: "Aiqing has worked hard, guarded the northwest for many years, and slept in the open air. ”
"But if Qing says so, then I will be sure. Uncle Ying, you should also prepare more books for gifts, and don't hide them for yourself. ”
Liu Yu hurriedly said: "The minister's lifelong learning about the military formation has been published in a book, and there is no hiding anything. This book was printed, and even if some people learned it, it was useless. If there is no supporting population, military system, and wealth, even if there is a desire to be subordinate, it is useless. ”
Speaking of which, Liu Yu clicked on the emperor again, the military reform must be complete.
Otherwise, this book has already been published, and if you don't reform the military, there will be a lot of people around who know Chinese. However, in this era, the bonus points of famous generals are no longer too high, but more of a competition of national strength.
No matter how fierce Napoleon is, he will not be able to do anything if he throws him to the Netherlands.
The emperor has long heard Liu Yu talk about everything after the military reform, and understands what Liu Yu means, the population supported by national strength, the regular discharge system, etc., rely on the volume of Dashun to form a crushing force on the periphery.
As long as the central government does not collapse, there will be no threat to the surrounding area.
No matter how many veterans are moved to the Western Regions, there are no military factories in the local area, and the local wealth cannot support a standing army, and a rebellion cannot be created. This is no longer the era of cold weapons, and if there are too many elite soldiers in a corner, the rebellion may succeed.
The whole set of military reforms eliminated not only the vigilance of military generals, but also the possibility of self-reliance in the frontier uprising, so that the emperor could more confidently appoint some ministers to guard the frontier.
The emperor was not worried about the military factory that Liu Yu was building, because Weihai was too close to the capital and was completely under control.
If someone built such a large-scale arsenal in the Western Regions, the emperor would have to think about it.
In this way, the leaders of the non-hereditary line of honorable heirs in the army came forward to express their support, and at the same time expressed their support on behalf of the Northwest Frontier Army.
The Xungui family already supports it, and the Jingying branch does not support it only in the emperor's words.
Both field groups in Dashun expressed their support, and it was actually needless to say that by this time. The rest of the bullshit doesn't mean much.
There is no way to refute the increase in combat power, and the chaos that may be caused is ...... The people who were most likely to cause chaos said they were fine, and the rest of them couldn't say anything more.
The emperor did not want to mention the redistribution of power and responsibilities now.
Some things are done, and then they come to pass.
If something is said before it's done, it can be a hindrance.
"In that case, I also thought that I was not in a hurry. The matter of the army's military reform can be slowly planned. Although it is a slow plan, it cannot be prevaricated. ”
"I think it's better to set up a training office, a dismantling and resettlement office, and a military academy and other statutes. For the time being, the Heavenly Blessing Hall will be busier and select talents. ”
"Temporary, non-existent, wait for two years and then negotiate the system."
When several opposing ministers heard this "temporary and non-existent" remark, they were all helpless.
If it is set up temporarily, it will directly bypass the six governments, and the emperor wants to temporarily have a department, who has any way to oppose it? The hand can't be put in at all, the emperor must have chosen some people he trusted to fill the position, saying that the Heavenly Blessing Hall is responsible, but in fact, it is not the emperor's word?
The temporary departments did not belong to the government, but directly to the emperor.
But after the temporary establishment becomes permanent, the people who are emperors up and down, even if they are under the jurisdiction of the military government, is it not a change of soup or a change of medicine?
Many people shook their heads secretly, and said in their hearts, Your Majesty has moved the inner court to the outer court, and is about to occupy the authority of the outer court, which is really not a good thing.
Your Majesty Shengming may be able to open up the territory and expand the world to peace. But if there is an Emperor Jin Hui, this is going to be a big thing.
Of course, Liu Yu knows it in his heart, but the construction of the system is not achieved overnight, and it will be a big deal to smash it again in the future.
But the last tail of the Age of Discovery, Nanyang and Australia, after this village, there is no such shop. This kind of rebellion requires a prophet and a centralized king, because the path to be taken is in opposition to natural evolution.
