Zhu Houzhao just wanted the General Staff Office and the Cabinet to fight in the ring, of course, not in the struggle for power and profit, but in status. If the General Staff Office was suppressed by the Cabinet when it was first established, then it would not be long before the General Staff Office would be completely suppressed by the Cabinet, which Zhu Houzhao absolutely did not allow.

"Then put it in the Wenhua Palace!" Zhu Youzhu pondered for a moment, nodded and agreed to this condition, then turned his head and said, "What do you think about the selection of staff officers?" ”

Seeing Zhu Youzhu asking His Royal Highness the Crown Prince this question, the expressions of the three cabinet scholars were slightly hesitant, but they quickly returned to their nature, obviously they still underestimated the status of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in His Majesty's heart, His Majesty is not cultivating the prince, but educating His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as the emperor.

"Erchen thinks that the staff office has the right to serve as a staff officer, so the staff officer of the military aircraft department naturally wants to know the soldiers." Zhu Houzhao had already prepared his words, so he spoke directly.

This sentence sounds like a nonsense, but Zhu Houzhao knows that this sentence must be said, because if you don't say it, you will definitely get a staff officer who doesn't know how to fight in the end. The so-called knowing soldiers is very well understood in the Ming Dynasty, that is, you have to be a military general and have fought in a war, and you have to be a civil official to be a governor, and you have been in a border town, led soldiers, and also fought.

"This is natural!" Zhu Youzhu didn't give the three cabinet scholars a chance to interject at all, he nodded directly, and the father and son sang a double reed.

The three cabinet scholars did not object to this matter, set up a staff office, and got a few people who did not know the soldiers to go in and do something?

"British Duke Zhang Mao and Dingguo Duke Xu Guangzuo, these two people are in charge of staff positions." Zhu Hou looked at his father, and then spoke.

In fact, what are these two people capable of? Anyway, Zhu Houzhao can't look down on it, and he can't talk about knowing soldiers or anything, but these two people must have them. On the one hand, because of their titles, this is for the sake of their ancestors' merits. In addition, in order to appease the nobles, Zhu Houzhao wants to move their farms and reform the military system, and needs their support.

As for when they grow old, the position of staff officer will definitely not be given to their descendants, and at that time, it will be according to the theory of military merit.

As soon as Zhu Houzhao's words came out, Zhu Youzhu nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "It should be like this, but what else?" ”

In Zhu Houzhao's heart, he doesn't want to use any of the older generation, but the current staff office is sharing the cake, and Zhu Houzhao wants to balance all parties to carry out reforms, and this step is indispensable. After pondering for a while, Zhu Houzhao spoke: "Erchen thinks that he can let Qin Hong enter the military aircraft department as a reward. ”

Whether it was Zhu Youzhu or the three cabinet scholars, they were all stunned, they didn't expect Zhu Youzhu to recommend Qin Hong.

But after thinking about it for a while, I will understand that Qin Hong's contribution to the three sides is very great, this cannot be denied, the three-year contract between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Qin Hong has been spread, and it has become a good story of monarchs and ministers. In addition, Qin Hong is old, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to give Qin Hong a glory during his lifetime, and he is also setting an example for some old ministers and governors of the frontier.

Of course, there is also a suspicion of standing in this position, and this total operation is not too atypical operation, it is basically a routine operation.

The emperor wants to appoint a person, this person's qualifications and age are not enough, at this time the emperor will arrange an old man in this position, anyway, he won't be able to do it for long, and when he goes down, he can naturally let the person he likes take over. It's just that who is this seat of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for? No one guessed it.

In fact, Zhu Houzhao really didn't occupy it for anyone, Zhu Houzhao wanted to use Wang Shouren, but he also knew that it was basically impossible now.

"In addition, Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, occupies a seat." Zhu Houzhao thought about it and added.

Zhu Houzhao did this, on the one hand, naturally to appease the civilian officials, and on the other hand, he actually wanted to pull the military department to the staff office. The military administration of the Ming Dynasty will definitely not be able to bypass the military department, if the military department is put aside, then the military department will naturally still be under the cabinet, and the authority of the staff office will not be guaranteed at all.

As for whether Liu Daxia will be in cahoots with civil officials when he enters the staff office, Zhu Houzhao is not worried at all, because his ass decides his head, and he will speak on which side he sits.

If Liu Daxia is really so blind, then he can be replaced, and then the military department can be directly replaced with a military general, and then the military department will completely become a subordinate yamen of the staff office, and in this case, the staff office can be regarded as completely independent. However, this matter will definitely not work now, and it will have to wait until the completion of the military reform.

In fact, Zhu Houzhao is not interested in Liu Daxia, but Ma Wensheng, Ma Wensheng is also a civil official, but he can fight very much, but Ma Wensheng is now a secretary of the ministry, this person is still very useful, Zhu Houzhao can't pull him to the staff office, he can only retreat to Ma Wensheng, as for the last person, Zhu Houzhao wants to choose a military general who can fight.

However, Zhu Hou chose and chosen, and did not choose a suitable candidate, and he really did not have enough military exploits of that person.

If this was placed in the Jiajing period, it would have been Qi Jiguang directly, but now there is no such person in Daming, and Zhu Houzhao is also desperate.

The military general that Zhu Houzhao wants is best to be an orthodox military general, who has been a general soldier, has led troops to fight, and has made brilliant achievements, only such a person can serve the public and set an example for other generals. But over the years, the military generals have suppressed the civilian officials too ruthlessly, and there is really no one who comes out, and Zhu Houzhao can't find anyone if he wants to find him.

This also made Zhu Houzhao realize how far the generals had been compressed, when the older generation of noble generals died, there was a fault line in the generals of the Ming Dynasty!

"This last candidate, please ask my father and the three elders to decide." Zhu Houzhao could only say helplessly in the end.

Zhu Youzhu glared at his son, you are really welcome, but this matter can only be like this, as for the last person, there are no good candidates for the three of them, after pondering for a moment, Zhu Youzhu said tentatively: "Why don't you just protect the country Zhu Hui?" ”

In fact, the Duke of Baoguo is also the Duke of the State, which is no problem, but this Duke of Baoguo is a little special, first of all, the title of the Duke of Baoguo is not sealed by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, nor by Emperor Taizong Zhu Di, but by Zhu Youzhang's father, Emperor Zhu Jianshen of Chenghua, and the title of Duke of Baoguo was given to Zhu Yong.

Of course, if Zhu Yong was still alive, Zhu Houzhao would definitely let him enter the staff office, and even Zhu Houzhao would jump up happily.
