After reading a few pages, the court was already in chaos, and the ceremonial officials and imperial historians reprimanded a few times and asked for quiet, so they kept their voices to the end of the long recital.

As soon as you finish reading it, a group of people have a stomach full of things to say.

What is this for?

Military reform, military reform, this change is inevitably too big, right?

If you change it like this, what power does the military government have left?

And what is the Admiralty? Does the Celestial Empire need a navy?

Since ancient times, the Celestial Empire has not needed a navy, what kind of admiralty is it doing?

Wouldn't the emperor be learning from the Yongle of the previous dynasty and controlling trade with internal funds? If this happens, won't it be smuggling everywhere and pirates rampant? Jiangnan trade, every year to get more than 10 million silver, if the emperor controls trade, it will be a big disaster for the world.

There is also this training office, the general staff, and the military academy...... The military government no longer has the power and responsibility of the military election department, so what is the use of the military government to keep it?

The Heavenly Blessing Hall has already snatched a lot of authority, is it possible that the emperor wants to remove the military government?

Why do we have to carry out military reform?

Wouldn't it be nice to just buy some new muskets and change them?

What's the difference between changing it to this one?

Everybody listened to it with question marks.

There are those who are puzzled, those who are shocked, those who are panicked, and those who are angry.

However, the emperor did not give everyone a chance to discuss it today, and waved his hand and said: "This matter will be discussed again when Ying Suo Bo returns to the court." I will copy this piece later, and I can go back and think about it carefully. ”

"Scatter!"

An undoubted retreat made everyone's words hold in their stomachs.

Tens of thousands of words of recitals, all kinds of things, involving all aspects, only listened to it once, but I didn't listen to it all.

But since they can stand in this position, none of them are easy people, they are all selected from 20,000 people in the world, not to mention that they all have the ability to remember, but they can still grasp the key.

A few days after the retreat from the court, dozens of copies of this letter were sent to various ministers, nobles, etc., so that they could read it carefully, and also prepare for the big court discussion for a few days.

All the ministers who are in turmoil on weekdays are all stunned, this idea of military reform, was the emperor instructed Liu Yu? Or is it really Liu Yu's mention?

If it was in the past, it would be easy to refute it.

The law of the ancestors cannot be changed lightly, and the major affairs of the country of soldiers will cause big problems if they are changed indiscriminately.

But this time the battle of the Western Regions was too unexpected for the DPRK and China, and the silent Qingzhou Army really achieved such a terrible result.

With this result as a support, there is no strength to refute it from this direction.

If you want to refute, you always have to find an entry point.

But where should the entry point be?

After the music was sent to the ministers, it was a little difficult to deal with the contents of the Admiralty directly and only look at the content of the army's military reform.

If you want to refute it, the focus is on whether this series of military reforms is necessary?

If you only need to change your guns and adopt a new formation, then there is no need to use the authority of the government.

But to do this, you need to find someone who knows the army to refute it, especially the general who is in charge of the army. From their lips uttered words opposing military reform.

This general can't be a noble.

Because for the honorable people, this military reform is not only harmless to them, but beneficial to them.

At least it can ensure that the nobles will always have a certain status, and there is no need to worry about completely losing the right to speak like the previous dynasty.

Looking for Jiang Chen, the general who has been guarding the northwest, Jiang Chen closed his door and did not express any attitude in private.

Such a change will definitely touch the interests of many people.

It is normal to be stationed abroad, drinking soldiers' blood and eating empty salaries.

However, those who are stationed abroad are not eligible to participate in the court meeting.

Those who are qualified to participate in the court meeting can no longer use such low-level means as drinking soldiers' blood and eating empty salaries.

The most important camp in the capital, the mood is very stable.

Most of them are from good families, and for them, as long as they don't touch their land privileges, they can change how they want to change, it doesn't matter.

It is nothing more than that in the past, it was necessary to practice arquebuses with spear formations, but now it has been changed to a pure team flintlock pistol, and there is not much difference.

Moreover, the military rank system on the military reform can increase their income.

The Beijing camp is stable, and the Qingzhou army, which returns from the west and is stationed in the capital, is even more stable.

For them, it has no effect, and they may even be promoted to some petty officers in the training department and go to various places to train the new army.

The military reform also does not include the government soldiers north of Liaodong, whose blood tax privileges are still there, and they have never been under the jurisdiction of the military government.

The generals who touch the interests are the general power of the towns and guards everywhere, because they are the easiest to drink the blood of soldiers.

However, they were neither qualified to participate in the court meeting, nor did they have the ability to raise their arms and attack the Qingjun side of the capital, mainly because they could not defeat the Qingzhou army, nor could they defeat the Beijing camp dominated by a group of good families.

The military government felt that it was difficult to support itself, and it was obvious that the emperor was preparing to firmly grasp the military power in his hands.

As for what to do with it, it is unknown.

Once the training office is established, the annual training quota and the regular discharge system make it possible to drink soldiers' blood only here in the training office.

However, the official position of the training department is too small, and the training is intensive, and it is easy to get into trouble by drinking the blood of soldiers.

Once the training is completed, they must assemble into battalions, reorganize and train, and arrange for them to be stationed in various places.

It is not easy to drink the blood of soldiers in various places, and the emperor will definitely send people to inspect and review at any time and take turns to enter Beijing.

In the long run, the entire military reform plan is to maintain a standing army of 200,000 throughout the country.

Starting from scratch, after all the military reforms, we can save millions of taels of military spending every year, and in the long run, there is no way to say that this will cost the people and money.

In the short term, the pace of military reform is not very fast.

The general staff and the like are only set up first, and the training office in the early stage is only training 350,000 troops, and the old troops will be slowly dismantled, or they will be selected and sent to the Western Regions, Liaodong and other places to Tuntian.

If we talk about money, the accumulated leveling of military expenditures has saved a lot, and the pacification speed of the Western Regions is far beyond everyone's expectations, and there is now money in the treasury.

If it comes to armaments, Weihai already has an arsenal, which can make guns and cast cannons, and the price given is not high, which is slightly higher than the arquebuses used in the army now.

If you talk about talents, in the previous Qingzhou Army, the proportion of officers was seriously exceeded, and many people could be promoted as battalion and company officers, or as officers in the training department.

Moreover, there is a system of rounding up and learning, changing the teaching materials, and changing the emphasis, which will not be too hindering.

For a time, those who opposed the military reform panicked and did not know where to oppose it.

If it is said that it is necessary to guard against the disaster of the feudal town, but this time the military reform has indeed brought the military power back to the central government, and the command power is in the hands of the emperor.

The General Staff or the Privy Council, once established, is actually still a civilian official in charge of the army, but this civilian official is not another civilian official, and the difference is that it comes from the practical study of the three-way method or the imperial examination law.

It's not that if you learn how to calculate geometry, you will be considered a general.

The veterans with military merits are in the general staff town, but they actually have no military power.

In fact, the military power was firmly in the hands of the emperor, and when he set out to go on the expedition, he appointed a general to coordinate it, and the newly trained army was a regular standing army.

And because the drills are all the same drills, they can be directly integrated in one place when they are really fighting.

After the military reform, the huge logistical needs made it impossible for anyone to support such an army without the central government's finances.

The officers will not be converted into civilian officials, but the talents of Wude Palace still have the opportunity to become civilian officials and mix sand.

The fixed training offices also make the new troops training everywhere carved out of a mold.

There are only a few formations, and even the orders are the same, and it is not a problem to parachute in and take charge of the army.

It is said that the separation of soldiers and generals will cause a decline in combat effectiveness, and the problem is that even if such an army declines in combat effectiveness, it will crush the surrounding forces.

The leveling incident has proved this, and they all think what kind of battle is Liu Yu fighting? But you can win.

Without Liu Yu, would Xiao Celing Dundobu be able to break through the phalanx?

The military academy is opened near the capital, and the grassroots officers are all protégés of the Son of Heaven and the sons of honorable nobles, even if a certain place wants to rebel, why should the grassroots officers obey orders?

The military government Shangshu went back and pondered for a long time, and always felt that this was like the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty, and it seemed that the road was also to follow the system of the Song Dynasty. But if you think about it, it's not really.

In the future, the military government is only afraid that it will fall into the tragic situation after the reform of Yuanfeng, and it will become an empty shell in charge of chariots, horses, and honor guards? Is the inertia that has continued since the civil fort really going to be shattered?

…………

Liu Yu, who returned to the capital from Weihai, also closed his door to no guests, put an end to all rumors, and waited for the big court meeting.

Although the emperor should have supported this court discussion, if he couldn't say that he couldn't make a meridian unitary, and even failed in the court meeting, the emperor's face was not good-looking.

Now that he has the title of Earl of Eagle, he is truly qualified to participate in the court meeting, instead of only having the right to sit in on the court as before.

After being knighted, such a bombshell will come first, and the emperor will definitely seize the opportunity to make Liu Yu a sinner's lonely minister.

When he was hiding from others, he finally returned to the capital, and he didn't hide from Tian Zhenyi, who had been trapped in the mansion of Qi State.

He also quietly wrote a letter to Tian Zhenyi about this matter, and in Tian Zhenyi's reply, he still called him the third brother as usual.

The content of the letter is simple, just tell Liu Yu that he will bite one thing:

Don't say that this matter is good for Your Majesty's centralization of power, because Your Majesty is not stupid, and Your Majesty knows better than anyone else whether it is good or not.

Needless to say, this thing can strengthen the military, because the level of the first war has been proven. The ministers are not blind, and they will not oppose it from this point of view.

As long as we grasp one thing, that is, this military reform will be beneficial to the nobles, the sons of good families, and those who are from the three methods of practical learning, and that is enough.

Who is for and who is against, it is necessary to figure out.

The court is a place for quarrels, don't try to convince those who oppose it, just grab those who support it.

There was no prime minister in this dynasty, and there were no three provinces.

His Majesty pretended to have the illusion that he was sharing the world with Confucian scholars; The courtiers pretended to have the illusion that they could be the rulers of the iron-clad monarchs in order to maintain themselves.

Everyone knows no, but they all pretend to have it, pretend to have it for a long time, and they just believe it when they deceive.

In the end, it was Your Majesty who made the decision, what Your Majesty needed was not for the third brother to convince everyone, but for the hope of seeing a lot of people in the court support, just leave a face [the court has discussed and many people have supported]. As for [there are also many people who oppose it], that future just proves that His Majesty has a unique vision and is able to overcome public opinion, just as darkness can best set off light.
