Looking at Wu Zhong, Zhu Cihong's heart was warm, Wu Zhong was honest and loyal, and he was serious in his work, and Zhu Cihong was very relieved of him.

Zhu Cihong exchanged a few more words with Zhu Dadian, and then glanced at everyone again, and said: "Most of you are from the Yongwei Battalion to follow the palace, we have worked hard in the south and north for two years, and with the help of many scholars and scholars, we finally have the current scale. ”

Everyone in the hall was happy, but no one spoke, just listened carefully to the crown prince.

Zhu Cihong continued: "But once there are too many people, it is easy to cause chaos, in order to prevent these problems, this palace has decided to carry out a military and political system adjustment and improvement!" ”

"The palace intends to imitate the six ministries to formally establish a set of political and military institutions, including the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Taxation, the Logistics Department, the Military Justice Department, the Intelligence Department, the Military Tun Department, and the Military Aircraft Department!"

"The Ministry of Civil Affairs is in charge of all civil affairs in the five provinces, such as agricultural farming, farmland and water conservancy construction, animal husbandry, and maintenance of local security, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs is in charge of Yang Tinglin."

For this position, Yang Tinglin is the best candidate, and the governance of Fengyang Mansion is obvious to all.

Originally, Zhu Cihong planned to use the position of Shangshu, but it felt a little inappropriate, and some people in the court knew that he would definitely have to chew the root of his tongue.

Zhu Cihong said: "The Ministry of Taxation is in charge of all the taxes of the five provinces, including the grain collection and storage of Juntun and Mintun, and manages all the revenue and expenditure of money and grain, and the Ministry of Taxation is in charge of Cheng Guoxiang. ”

Cheng Guoxiang has a strange feeling, he has done the household secretary in front of him, and now he is helping the crown prince to take care of his money, and he feels that he has served as the household secretary again........ Although it is only in charge of the land of the five provinces, the land of these five provinces is the core place of the Ming Dynasty's taxation.

Zhu Cihong said: "The logistics department is in charge of all the grain, grass and military supplies of the Tianwu Army, including the training of medical soldiers and other logistics personnel, and the logistics department is in charge of Zhu Dadian. ”

Zhu Dadian was very moved, the crown prince handed over such an important position to himself, this is trust!

Zhu Cihong continued: "The Military Justice Department is responsible for the verification of military discipline and military law and the military merits of non-commissioned officers in the whole army, and the Military Justice Department is still in charge of Gu Wei. ”

Gu Wei of the Ministry of Military Justice still has a cold face, this is his old job, and there is no change.

Zhu Cihong glanced at Li Tingbiao and said: "The Intelligence Department is responsible for detecting the enemy's situation during wartime, collecting intelligence from all over the country during non-wartime, and developing meticulously, and the Intelligence Department is in charge of Li Tingbiao. ”

In the past, Li Tingbiao had been secretly in charge of intelligence, but now that he can finally walk in the light, he feels that his life has suddenly brightened a lot.

"The military cantonment department is responsible for the military cantonment, the training of the tuntian soldiers, and the drill system is systematically drilled according to the standards of the Tianwu Army, and the military cantonment department is in charge of Mao Yuanyi."

Zhu Cihong's letting Mao Yuanyi manage the military cantonment department was also deliberate, and letting Mao Yuanyi practice various formations such as the Mandarin Duck Formation could effectively improve the army's melee fighting ability.

As for Mao Yuanyi's lack of being good at training, there is not much of a problem with this, and the military cantonment department has already formulated a set of instructor systems, all of which are strictly trained in accordance with the established process, and as long as the system is not abolished and the supervision is not relaxed, there will still be a steady stream of good soldiers.

In the end, Zhu Cihong raised his voice and said: "The Military Aircraft Department is responsible for coordinating the operation and formulating the battle plan. ”

Seeing that everyone's faces were serious, Zhu Cihong continued: "The Military Aircraft Department is jointly run by Sun Yingyuan, Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji, and Yang Yufan, and all orders are approved and signed by the palace, and the Huangming Military Academy is also directly managed by the Military Aircraft Department. ”

With this move, Zhu Cihong completely separated the right to train troops, the right to command troops, and the right to transfer troops; the military cantonment department only had the right to train troops, and the generals in various localities only had the right to command, and as for the right to transfer troops, they could only be issued by themselves and the military aircraft department.

In this way, the situation of the armed forces being transferred without permission has been effectively prevented, and the military aircraft department is all held by military generals, which will not create a situation in which civilian officials who do not understand military affairs are in charge like the military department; of course, Zhu Cihong will not be stupid enough to give the military aircraft department the opportunity to reject his orders.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Cihong used the Military Aircraft Department to restrict the generals, but the Military Aircraft Department is held by several of the highest generals of the army, so as to avoid the resistance of the generals, after all, this also represents the general's authority in disguise.

In the Fengtian Palace, everyone listened to the excitement, after the establishment of these ministries, it marked the formal formation of the military and political group with the crown prince as the core, and these people will have the merit of the dragon in the future, after the crown prince ascended the throne, the personnel of these ministries are ready-made ministers of the six ministries.

Zhu Cihong also thought so, originally he was going to go to Nanjing and then make adjustments, drive all the people from the six departments in Nanjing, and rearrange his own people, but after thinking about it carefully, he decided to adjust first, let them first have rich experience and then officially take up their posts, and the candidates for the six departments will be reconsidered in the future.

Although the current departments seem to be many, they are still not comprehensive, for example, the functions and powers of the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites are not involved.

Zhu Cihong of these departments did not plan to move for the time being, because not only could they not bring the slightest benefit to themselves, but they would also bring endless trouble to themselves.

For example, the Ministry of Rites is in charge of ceremonies, sacrifices, ceremonies and other affairs, as well as schools, imperial examinations, and diplomatic affairs, many things can only be decided by the emperor, and it is better not to interfere now.

The same is true of the Criminal Department, all prisoners across the country need to go through the emperor's final checklist, which is also the emperor's prerogative, Zhu Cihong has killed so many people since he went south, and the emperor's father has not pursued it is already very magnanimous, if he even has to intervene in the Criminal Department, it is really not a good thing.

Zhu Cihong looked around and said: "All ministries have been established, except for the Ministry of Military Aircraft, the rest of the ministries have one minister, two deputy departments, ten directors, and ten directors, and the ministers of each department will take out a list of personnel appointments within ten days and hand it over to the palace, and the officials of the various ministries can take office after the palace approves it."

"Yes!" The crowd shouted in unison.

Among the crowd, Cheng Guoxiang's mood could not be calm for a long time, not because of excitement, but because he had a deep worry in his heart, worried about the Son of Heaven who was wearing a twelve-chapter dragon robe.

In recent days, Cheng Guoxiang has taken over all the money and grain income and expenditure account books of Yang Tinglin, and when he flipped through the statistics, the whole person was shocked, the crown prince had far more money and grain in his hands than in the Ming treasury! Cheng Guoxiang roughly judged from the records of money and grain income and expenditure that the crown prince was raising at least 300,000 troops!

The crown prince showed his heroic spirit at a young age, and now he is grasping military and politics together, and with the strength he currently has, the imperial court can no longer control it.

In particular, these generals have been closely following the crown prince since they were in Beijing, and now they are all promoted and rich, and they also have heavy troops, and no one can stop the progress of the crown prince group, and I am really worried about what it will develop into in the future.

After the military administrative organs were perfected, Zhu Cihong immediately announced the order to send troops south to quell the rebellion.

Zhu Cihong said: "Now that it has entered May, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, the two thieves, are still stubborn, and the palace has decided to send troops south to wipe them out in one fell swoop!" ”

Zhu Cihong ordered the Second Division of the Tianwu Army to prepare for the expedition, and began to raise grain and grass materials, and ordered Huang Degong to return to Wuchang Mansion to lead the 10,000 horses of the First Division of the Tianwu Army to enter Nanchang Mansion, Jiangxi.

Since Zhu Cihong ordered Zuo Liangyu to lead his troops to Jingdezhen in March, nearly three months have passed, and Zuo Liangyu is still in Jiujiang Mansion, and he has not moved for a long time, and he has not taken Zhu Cihong's order seriously at all.

The tens of thousands of rogues of Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai directly swept Jiangxi, causing many places in Jiangxi to be looted and destroyed.

Zhu Cihong was extremely annoyed, feeling that Zuo Liangyu had no need to exist, and this time he went south to Jiangxi to quell the chaos, and by the way, he threw him into the trash can of history.
