The separation of military and political affairs is the trend of the times, and all advanced systems will eventually come down this road.

However, in history, the relationship between "military and government" has always been confused and unclear, and it has never ceased to adjust and explore for thousands of years.

Before the Qin Dynasty, the realization of the feudal system, which is also the original meaning of "feudal", the princes are in charge of the military and political affairs of a country, and the "king" as the co-owner does not have much real power, resulting in the princes becoming stronger and stronger, but the "king" is becoming more and more weak, the cadres are weak and strong, and finally the Nuoda Empire falls apart......

Why is Qin Shi Huang called "the first emperor of the ages"?

It is precisely because of his unification of the land of China in the true sense that he created an unprecedented "centralization"!

In order to strengthen local rule, the Qin Dynasty implemented the county system, and changed the integration of local military and government to the county guard in charge of administration, the county lieutenant in charge of the military, and the county supervisor and imperial history in charge of supervision. And there are corresponding details as a supplement to this system, which greatly enhances the authority of the central government. However, this system is overkill and weakens the foundations of local governance.

In fact, looking at the Qin Dynasty system from a modern perspective, it was actually not backward, but due to the constraints of the economy, communications, transportation and other conditions at that time, the central government's management of the local government could not be as good as its command, the natural ruling system did not work well, and the whole country seemed to be unified, but in fact, the central control over the local area was not strong.

Therefore, in the Han Dynasty, the feudal system was restored to a certain extent, but the power of the princes and kings was restricted.

In the Wei and Jin dynasties, King Zong was the governor, and the military and government were often integrated.

In the Sui and Tang dynasties, the prefectures and counties were in charge of civil affairs and military reclamation, and the military government and guards were in charge of the military, but in fact, the military and the government were often entangled in the relationship, and the so-called "entry is the prime minister, and the exit is the general, and there is no separation of civil and military affairs", which made the concept of the integration of military and political deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, resulting in a sharp expansion of local power. When the Anshi Rebellion broke out, in order to quell the rebellion, the local government was given power and the army expanded, so that the local feudal towns were completely controlled by the military and government, and the tail was too big to fall, which was the root cause of the country's demise.

The once prosperous and splendid Tang Dynasty finally collapsed and disappeared, which made many Han family sons sigh and feel heartbroken......

In the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin learned the lessons of the previous generation, reused civilian officials, governed the military with civility, and separated military power. Although this move completely eliminated the danger of local support for troops to stand on their own feet, the leadership of the army by civilian officials who did not understand military affairs greatly weakened the army's combat effectiveness.

The Yuan Dynasty was characterized by the implementation of the provincial system, which actually played the role of a central dispatch agency, with the province administering the locality, the local military and government being separated, and the central government selecting and appointing local officials.

The Ming Dynasty set up three divisions in charge of administrative, military, and supervisory powers, and set up governors to strengthen its rule.

In fact, in Fang Jun's view, the Ming Dynasty can be regarded as a certain degree of "separation of military and government", the improvement of the cabinet system, the restraint of imperial power, and the unprecedented increase in the power of the military department, all of which have built an almost perfect imperial structure.

However, the extremely bad weather conditions during the Xiaoice River period made the Ming Dynasty society, which had long been bound by agricultural thinking, unable to complete the transformation from agriculture to industry and commerce in time, and the political situation was turbulent, and it coincided with the rise of Manchu in northeast China, and the force was strong and invincible.

If it is said that the Ming Dynasty died in Manchuria, it is better to say that it died in the sky......

*****

The officials of the Ministry of War don't know what this so-called "Foundry Bureau" is, and it would be best if they could get the right to manufacture ordnance, but since they don't have the right to make ordnance, what's the point of repairing armor and ordnance?

We are willing to create, tinker with the work, we are not willing to do ......

This is the mind of the military officials.

But now it is not an exaggeration for Fang Jun to say that he is covering the sky with one hand in the military department, although he disagrees with it in his heart, no one dares to question it face-to-face, what does Fang Jun have to explain, he will naturally complete it honestly.

"First of all, enclose the land near the Kunming Poolside Gun Experimental Site, I am not afraid of a big place, I am afraid that there will not be enough place, because this will become the core of the Tang Dynasty military in the future, and its degree of secrecy can be called His Majesty's dormitory!"

The officials of the military department were summoned by Fang Jun for a meeting, and the first sentence made all the officials dumbfounded......

The level of secrecy is comparable to that of His Majesty's bedchamber?

Damn, this fang er mallet really dares to speak......

Looking at the bewildered expressions of the deployments, Fang Jun raised the corners of his mouth and said in a sonorous tone: "In the future, this will be the location of the largest department directly under the Ministry of War, the Foundry Bureau, it will be the hope of the rise of the Ministry of War, and it will also be the foundation of the empire's strength!" Not only will the gun test site be merged into the Foundry Bureau, but the official will donate the most high-end iron-smelting technology of Fangjia Iron Works, which is unique in the world! ”

The subordinates didn't know what to say......

The most core, the most confidential, the most high-end, hope, the foundation, unique in the world...... What kind of foundry bureau is this, is it a yamen that can make people feather and soar?

Fang Jun sat proudly, looking around at everyone, facing the confused officials, there was not much ridicule in his heart, after all, thousands of years had built an insurmountable "generation gap" between him and the people in front of him, and they didn't know what the establishment of such a yamen meant.

"You may not understand it now, it's okay, but you have to remember that today is the time when the Tang Dynasty military department rises, and it is also the day when the Tang Dynasty military foundation is laid!"

Fang Jun turned his head to look at the scribe who was in charge of recording the summary of the meeting on the side, and said in a deep voice: "Record the names of all the officials attending today's meeting, because even after a thousand years, today's meeting of the Ministry of War to establish the Foundry Bureau will be an epoch-making meeting in the eyes of future generations!" ”

The scribe was stunned and hurriedly said, "Oh! ”

Then he began to record the names of the officials present......

Fang Jun said to Liu Zheng: "The structure of the Foundry Bureau can be modeled after the military superintendent, the general will be the supervisor and other official offices, and this official will personally serve as the supervisor of the Foundry Bureau, Liu Langzhong is the first young eunuch of the Foundry Bureau, and this official is only in charge of skills, and all some administrative affairs are in charge of Liu Langzhong." ”

Liu Zheng's heart jumped, suppressed his excitement and swallowed his saliva.

Judging from Fang Jun's attention to this Foundry Bureau, he will inevitably go all out to support it, as long as Fang Jun is in the Ministry of War for a day, this Foundry Bureau will be the most important department of the Ministry of War. And now Fang Jun Mingyan is only in charge of the technical aspect, and all the administration is handed over to himself......

That's a real power!

Although the final decision on some affairs is in the hands of Fang Jun, since Fang Jun has expressed his position in this way, it proves that he will not interfere too much in administrative affairs......

Liu Zheng was a little short of breath, although he was born in a famous family and had the full support of the Taiyuan Wang family, he had never tasted the taste of "number one" in any yamen!

The officials present looked at Liu Zheng's suddenly flushed face, and they were inevitably envious and jealous......

Although everyone has not figured out what earth-shattering things this foundry bureau can do until now, just from Fang Jun's attention, it can be seen that Liu Zheng's status as a young eunuch is not trivial.

They are all officials, who doesn't like power?

Guo Fushan, who was sitting in Fang Jun's hand, barely had a smile on his face, but he was embarrassed and depressed in his heart!

He has always believed that he is the most trusted one of Fang Jun's in the military department, starting from Fang Jun's "airborne" military department, not only did he not fight for power or profit, but he helped Fang Jun to maintain Fang Jun everywhere, of course, there are reasons for his own character, but such a gesture of goodwill should be Fang Jun's strongest ally in the military department.

The result?

With a good thing, the first thing that comes to mind of this mallet is actually Liu Zheng's opponent......

Hey?!

Thinking of this, Guo Fushan's heart moved.

According to his understanding of Fang Jun, this guy is certainly not a grudge character, because if he has a grudge, he will be avenged on the spot...... But he is by no means a magnanimous gentleman who ignores his previous suspicions, and this kind of thing of repaying grievances with virtue doesn't seem to be something that Fang Jun can do.

Sure enough, just when Liu Zheng was in ecstasy and all the officials in the hall were envious and jealous, he only heard Fang Jun continue: "This official has no other requirements for Liu Langzhong, there is only one thing that must be done, that is, to dig people!" ”

"Dig ...... Digging people? ”

Not only is Liu Zheng unknown, but all the officials are confused.

"That's right, poaching people! The art of metallurgy will become a heavy weapon of the militaristic state, and the level of metallurgical technology will determine the future achievements of the empire! And such an important technology, as long as it can be firmly grasped in the hands of the Ministry of War, can naturally make the Ministry of War gradually become the most powerful yamen in the world! Therefore, we must be good at metallurgical skills in the world of all the talents in the hands, not only that, but also to cultivate their own metallurgical talents, select some smart and clever talent apprentices, master and apprentice, from generation to generation, and continue to invest huge sums of money in metallurgical technology research and development improvement, so that it will always maintain the leading realm of the world's countries! ”

Fang Jun looked at Liu Zheng and said in a deep voice: "Therefore, the ordnance supervisor, the general supervisor, the young government supervisor, no matter which yamen, as long as it is a metallurgical talent, they will all be dug up by this official!" Tell them that when they arrive at the Foundry Bureau, not only will they be immediately restored to their civilian status, but they can also become officials, they can be promoted, their children and grandchildren can participate in the imperial examinations, they can be paid according to their work, and even if they have made outstanding contributions, their own officials can apply for knighthoods for them from His Majesty! ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent at first, and then there was an uproar!

Is this mallet going to turn the sky upside down?
