Ineffable?

A word popped up directly in Gao Shishi's mind: interest groups.

The question is, which group?

The Zhu royal family and the clan group? Civilian-bureaucratic clique? Xungui Group? Or is it some other group that I didn't notice?

Gao Shishi pondered slightly, and asked, "What is the current process of military supply?" ”

Qi Jiguang secretly said in his heart: This is really a prodigy, I just said 'can't say', he immediately understood that there must be interests involved, but he didn't want to ask directly, so he asked about the process of supplying weapons. As soon as the process is concerned, isn't it clear which links in the middle may have interests? This...... That's a little too godly, isn't it? If you want to talk about prodigies, it is not strange to have some whimsical ideas, and it is not impossible to read books and draw inferences, but this problem of entanglement of interests, does it not require life experience? At his age, how could he even be born to understand this kind of thing? Is there really a "born to know" in the world?

But no matter how shocked he was in his heart, after all, the goal of the two people at the moment was the same, Qi Jiguang was shocked and shocked, and he was excited and excited, and at the moment he had an inexplicable confidence in Gao Shishi in his heart: What if there is really a way to solve it on this day - or at least find a loophole to avoid this trouble?

At that moment, he cheered up, sat up straight, and said: "When it comes to the supply of armaments, in fact, there are differences between the Beijing camp and the border armies and even the local guards, but if you roughly put it around, it is roughly how much armament the military department needs to report this year or a period of time, and the military department will reply to the military departments for approval or adjustment of the quota, and then it is usually built by the capital division of the area guarded by the army or the adjacent area to allocate military households to build, and after it is built, it will be accepted by the local military department on behalf of the military department. Then the governor or governor and the local town guard eunuch and the patrol according to the imperial history for the second acceptance, and finally handed over to the general army for final inspection and acceptance. ”

Gao Pragmatic was stunned when he heard it - isn't it, so troublesome? Then there are too many places to make a fuss here, right?

He had no choice but to give full play to the political experience of later generations and "grasp the key points, focus on the key points" and asked: "I have two questions: First, what kind of armament is needed, first of all, the town commanders and the civil and military departments of various localities come to make requests? Second, in the end, the manufacture of these weapons will fall to the military accounts in various places? ”

Qi Jiguang was too lazy to be shocked, and replied directly: "I'll answer the first question first." Of course, the town commander can ask the military department to allocate any weapons needed, but the military department may not give them according to this standard. Moreover, it's not a simple 'bargain' that you want 10 percent and I give 70 percent, in fact, the final decision on how much each town and army can take is completely in the hands of the military department: if the military department thinks you are lacking, you will be lacking, and if you are not lacking, you will not be lacking; ”

Got it.

Gao Shicheng sighed secretly in his heart: No wonder the military generals at this time had almost no human rights in front of civilian officials, not only the food and salary were stuck, but even the supply of weapons and equipment was a word of the Ministry of War. Anyway, in the end, you have to take everything you want, even if I don't give it to you, you can't do anything, it's the dragon you coil for me, it's the tiger you lie down for me, it's the dog...... Wagging your tail and screaming less.

Then do you want to make a yarn? There's a fucking problem with this at the root, so I used to think that it was just that the guard was rotten, and the things made by the military were not up to standard! If the officials in charge of the military department don't understand this at all, isn't it just a layman commanding an insider, and a layman leading an insider? Later generations Lao Tzu held countless meetings, "laymen are not allowed to command insiders, laymen lead insiders", "we must fully solicit the opinions of experts and front-line practitioners from all walks of life" and the like, the ears heard the cocoon, and this idea was not at all in the Ming Dynasty? Oh, maybe this idea was completely rebellious in the Ming Dynasty!

It's a bit of a tricky thing to do...... Gao Shishi's brows suddenly furrowed.

Qi Jiguang glanced at him, and knew that Gao Pragmatic had seen the problem, but he couldn't predict what Gao Pragmatic was thinking, and he originally planned to continue to answer the second question, but now seeing Gao Pragmatic's frowning and contemplative appearance, he didn't dare to say it immediately.

Fortunately, Gao Pragmatic only thought about it for a while, so he put this question down first, and instead took the initiative to ask: "What about the manufacture of armaments?" Are they all done by military households everywhere? Acceptance of the Soldier Road...... Isn't it easy to get through? ”

This sentence is an interesting question, the quality of weapons and equipment in the middle and late Ming Dynasty is really Wang Xiaoer's New Year, a year is not as good as a year, if it is not for the first acceptance of the military preparation road in various places is too easy, how can it pass?

"This ......" Qi Jiguang originally thought of a more roundabout and more roundabout rhetoric, who knew that Gao Shishi asked so bluntly when he took the initiative to ask, and suddenly he had no room to retreat, so he had to say slightly embarrassedly: "Soldiers everywhere are prepared...... This, after all, also has to give the local health center some face...... Besides, it is true that the health centers in various places are ...... Well, it's harder. ”

Yes, such a straightforward and heroic Shandong man, an invincible and victorious general, is only about to stutter when he talks about this, which shows that it is not a certain link that is rotten, but all of them.

Gao pragmatic is not unmixed in officialdom, some of the little Jiujiu here can be guessed with his toes - the interests are all touched!

First of all, before the Ministry of War issued the paper, someone must have "discussed" with them how much the cabinet would discuss the cost of the national military salary this year, and then how much weapons and equipment a certain army in a certain place should be equipped with this year, and a rough allocation amount should be determined according to certain criteria -- probably taking into account the degree of filial piety of a certain army and the local garrison -- and the military department would pass the test here.

Then the health centers will receive the production requirements and start production, but just stupid production is not enough, you have to immediately contact the acceptance leader of your product - the local military preparation road, the local military preparation road will decide whether the product you deliver is qualified, or how many are qualified according to your filial piety.

However, since the military preparation was not the final decision, he also had to honor his leaders—from the governor to the governor (with dual leadership in some regions, but also with separate leadership) and the eunuchs to the local governor.

It should be mentioned here: although the level of the patrol imperial history is not high, and its own level is much lower than that of the military guard, but he has an extremely amazing right to picket, even the governor, the governor, the town guard eunuch, etc., can all be legally impeached, and the Ming Dynasty also has a clear stipulation that the patrol of the imperial history is on behalf of the Metropolitan Procuratorate when patrolling the place, so "major events are judged, and small matters are decided". As for what is a big thing and what is a small matter, it varies from period to period, and it involves the power struggle between the governor and the governor for at least a hundred years, etc., which will be introduced in more detail in the future, so I will not mention it here for the time being.

All in all, from the military department to the final general army, every layer and every level is a link in the middle of this chain of interests - there may be a missing one: the direct leadership of the local guards is the local capital, and the direct leadership of the local capital is the governor's office of the five armies, that is, the nobles.

Oh, it's over. The Ming Dynasty ministers, military generals, and nobles are all included. That is, the emperor was kept in the dark, and the royal family continued to be raised as pigs.

In the corner of the Ming Dynasty, except for the Zhu family itself, everyone can dig him with a hoe.

Awesome.
