Dai Heng took a step forward, and then said: "Your Majesty, this time His Royal Highness has won a great victory in the northwest, and the Black Dragon Army has made brilliant achievements, which is a rare victory for me since the Taizong period, so it can be seen that my Ming Dynasty is not unable to win, but I don't know how to fight, that is to say, there is a problem with my Ming military system." ”

Everyone looked at Dai Heng, you really dare to say it, but is it really good to say this? You've offended too many people, haven't you?

Everyone's eyes all looked at Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, your subordinates talk like this, you don't care?

But to disappoint everyone, Liu Daxia stood there, half-squinting, looking like he had nothing to do with himself, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, and the old god was there. But Dai Heng is not like this, after releasing this cannon, Dai Heng continued to fire the cannon.

"As the so-called time changes, since the current military system is no longer good, the minister thinks that the military system must be changed." Dai Heng's tone was very serious and loud.

In fact, the ministers all know that there has been a trend of innovation brewing in the direct imperial court very early, but there has been no climate, to put it bluntly, there is no leading figure, is Dai Heng going to be this person? This is a big gamble, it is done, it is naturally important to get, but if it fails, the end will not be too good.

Starting from Shang Ying, all the way to Wang Anshi and Fan Zhongyan of the former Song Dynasty, every reformer, no matter whether they succeed or fail, the results are not very good!

"I think that my Ming should reformulate a new military system, since the Black Dragon Army is effective, why not follow the Black Dragon Army as an example to carry out military reform?" Dai Heng continued: "The ministers are requested to set up a staff yamen, select the best and the best, and select the courtiers with military talents to enter the court, and formulate a new military system. As for the rank, the minister thought that he should be at the same level as the cabinet and be the emperor's advisor. ”

You must know that the cabinet is only a secretariat at first, and the cabinet scholars only have the status of advisers, and the emperor has the power to make the final decision, and the scholars rarely have the opportunity to participate in the decision.

Even now, the status of the cabinet is constantly rising, and the cabinet scholars are still the fifth grade, and the establishment of the staff office as a place of consultation for the emperor seems to be nothing.

The ministers present instantly sensed the trap in Dai Heng's words, this is a split, and it is a split in the open, how many ministers in the court cannot enter the cabinet? How many high-ranking officials in the world cannot enter the cabinet? What is the reason? Is it because they are not capable enough? Of course not, are they not qualified enough? Of course not, the only willingness is that they are not from Hanlin.

Although there is no clear provision for this statement, you have to look at the actual situation, how many bachelors are from Hanlin, and how many bachelors are there who are not from Hanlin?

Not to mention other people, just talk about the current military department Shangshu Liu Daxia, he is still from Hanlin and a Shujishi, but he still hasn't been able to enter the cabinet, doesn't he want to enter the cabinet? Of course not, he would love to join the cabinet, but there are three cabinet members now. With Liu Daxia's age, if he doesn't join the cabinet, will he be willing? Would he be willing?

Now that there is one more staff office, at the same level as the cabinet, who has the greatest chance? Of course, it is Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, he is a recognized soldier in the DPRK and China, and his prestige in the army is not low, will he be in the Cheng Staff Office?

Except for Liu Daxia, those officials who have enough qualifications and ability, but are restricted by the Hanlin threshold, will they support them? For a while, the atmosphere above the main hall seemed a little delicate.

"The minister thinks that there are several advantages of preparing a staff office, first of all, the staff office can be used to staff the military, and all internal and external crusades to resist the Tartar captivity can have a staff office to go directly to the imperial front. Secondly, these people are all knowledgeable soldiers, and it can be said that His Majesty provides the most appropriate advice, how to use soldiers, how to use soldiers, so as not to create a situation where people are superfluous and laymen command insiders. ”

After Dai Heng finished the last sentence, he retreated directly, but his words had already caused an uproar and caught everyone off guard.

There was silence in the hall for a while, obviously no one was willing to stand up and express their opinions first, obviously this was a big matter, and it was definitely unwise to stand in line before seeing the situation clearly.

At this time, Hubu Shangshu Tong Zhong stood up, he took a step forward, and said loudly: "The minister is against it!" Saying that, Tong Zhong said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, the victory of the Black Dragon Army in the northwest, although it depends on His Royal Highness the Prince's meritorious training, but we can't forget how much money the imperial court has invested in the Black Dragon Army in the past few years?" ”

"Once the military system is changed, where will the money of the imperial court come from? If the imperial court also invests so much money in the current army every year, it will not necessarily be worse than the Black Dragon Army. ”

"Even if the ability to train soldiers is not as good as His Royal Highness the Prince, but even if the military system is changed, it can't be His Royal Highness who trains the troops in person, right? How big is the world, how many soldiers and horses in the world, after all, it is necessary for others to train the troops, the military system of the Ming Dynasty has indeed collapsed slightly over the years, but during the period of Taizu and Taizong, those victories were not also won under such a military system? ”

"The minister thinks that the military system cannot be changed lightly, and the imperial court is dissatisfied with the war record, so it can train troops, change generals, and allocate money and food to various places."

Tong Zhong's words made two problems, and they were very serious problems, that is, money and food, changing the military system, and learning from the Black Dragon Army, do you know how much money the Black Dragon Army spent? Where did the imperial court get so much money to send down? Secondly, the army used to be able to win battles, but now it can't win, that is, the generals can't do it, or the money and food are not in place.

Zhu Houzhao stood on the steps, listening to Tong Zhong's words, his face was expressionless, this time He Zhong was already in the list of replacements.

The household department is a key department, and the next reform will be the user department, and Tong Zhong will definitely not be able to do it in the position of the household department.

Three years have passed, Qi You is still in the position of the Salt Administration, he is doing a good job, but Zhu Houzhao is ready to mention it to Qi You, and the position of the head of the household department is just right for him. This is an official who has no ideas, he is an official, very pure, in order to be an official, he dares to do anything, Zhu Houzhao believes that he will definitely be willing to support his reform.

That's what happened in the court, the older generation, the high-ranking people, they don't want to change, because change means that their power is lost, it means that they have to adapt to change.

If they don't change, they are the big guys, why should they change? It's not good now, but the people below are different, changing can overturn the people above, and you can put yourself in the position, why not change? Qi You has been working hard in the Salt and Iron Division for four years, would he not want to go further? How is it possible, if he didn't want to go further, he wouldn't simply take refuge in Shou Ninghou.

Sure enough, Qi You took a step forward directly and said loudly: "The minister thinks otherwise!" ”
