But after Xu Huizu and the others heard the holy decree, they immediately knelt down and said, "The minister obeys the decree." The middle and low-level generals who were originally at a loss saw that the generals knelt down to accept the order, and they no longer thought about whether this change would be harmful or beneficial to the generals, so they all knelt down and said, "The ministers obey the order." ”

Seeing that the generals of the previous dynasty knelt down one after another, the civil officials slowly stopped talking. The abolition of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies and the re-establishment of the Metropolitan Governor's Office are completely because the change in the military attache system has nothing to do with civilian officials, and since the generals present have accepted it, it is useless for them to talk about it. As for the future effects, it is not too late to discuss them after all the decrees have been read. Anyway, none of the civil officials present believed that there was only one way to reform the military attache system today. The four or five civil officials standing in the middle of the main hall quietly raised their heads and looked at Yun Xi, who was sitting on the dragon chair.

"Fengtian carried the emperor's edict to change the system of lawsuits in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. In addition to the left and right governors of the same knowledge, the establishment of four governors, is the second product; The General Staff Department, the General Political Department, the General Armament Department, the General Logistics Department, the Degree Branch, and the Naval Division Department were set up. The General Staff is in charge of the national health center's public opinion, military system, city god, suppression, conciseness, conquest and other matters; The General Armament Department is in charge of the research of new weapons, the manufacture and storage of weapons, and the custody of symbolic surveys and ruler books. The General Logistics Department is in charge of the grain and grass required by the whole army, as well as the driving of vehicles, and is in charge of the brine book, honor guard, guard, post pass, and stable herding; degree branch, in charge of the army's financial expenditure; The Sailor Department is in charge of all matters of the Sailor. The General Staff Department, the General Political Department, the General Armament Department, the General Logistics Department, and the Degree Branch are five departments, and the palm seal official is named Shangshu and Zheng Erpin, and the second official is named Shilang and Zheng Sanpin; The official name of the seal of the Navy Division is the commander of the envoy, and the name of the second official is the commander of the same knowledge, and the name of the second official is the third product. Among them, the General Political Department, the General Logistics Department, and the Degree Branch are civilian military attachés. Chin this. ”

"Fengtian carried the emperor's edict and changed the functions of the military department. The Arsenal Department, the Staff Division, and the Vehicle Driving Department of the Ministry of War were abolished, and the Military Medical Department and the Political Department were established, and the former Department of Culture and Propaganda of the Left Army Governor's Office was changed to be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. The secretary of the military department concurrently serves as the secretary of the General Political Department, and the left and right attendants of the military department concurrently serve as the left and right attendants of the General Political Department. Chin this. ”

"Fengtian carried the emperor's edict and set up the Jiangnan Command Envoy to govern the rest of the Zhili Guards except for the 49 Guards of the Capital and the Xiaoling Guard; Set up the Ying Tianxing Capital Command Envoy to govern the rest of the capital guards except the Shangzhiwei and Xiaoling Guards. Chin this. ”

"Fengtian carried the emperor's edict and said, with Liang Guogong Lan Zhen as the secretary of the General Staff, Chen Xingshan, the former judge of the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army, as the secretary of the military department and concurrently the secretary of the General Political Department, with Cao Guogong Li Jinglong as the secretary of the General Armament Department, with Zheng Guogong Chang promoted to the secretary of the General Logistics Department, with Mei Yin, the former secretary of the military department, as the secretary of the branch, and with Palembang Hou He Rong as the commander of the naval division. Chin this. ”

"Fengtian carried the emperor's edict and said, Geng Xuan, the former governor of the Left Army, was appointed as the commander of the Jiangnan Metropolitan Envoy, and Zhang Shu, the former British Domain's left minister, was appointed as the commander of the Governor of the Ying Tianxing Prefecture.

"Fengtian carried the emperor's edict and ordered Bo Zhang Fu of Guazhou, the former governor of the right army to Tongzhi Cao Xing, Anding Bo Yang Feng, and the former former military governor Xue Ning to be the governor of the metropolitan governor's mansion. Chin this. ”

After that, several holy decrees were issued, and the squires and commanders of the five departments of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, except for the General Political Department, were appointed.

At this moment, if there are people like Yun Xi who have crossed over from the afterlife, even if they don't shout out, they must have said in their hearts: 'This is clearly plagiarizing the four-headquarters system of the Military Commission!' And what he thought was not wrong, Yun Xi was indeed a plagiarized four-headquarters system.

Worldwide, the modern military command system was born in Prussia, and the General Staff was created by a Prussian king in about 16XX AD, and later became the most important military department in the world, until now.

The Prussian king created this staff system at a time when front-loading flintlock pistols were just beginning to be equipped, arquebuses had not yet been withdrawn from the main battlefield, and there was still a long time before the rear-loading gun was invented. The General Staff adapted to the developments of military technology and military command at that time. Although it was born with different powers and responsibilities from the General Staff of later generations, it was after all the starting point of a professional and independent command and advisory body.

And Daming is now at this stage! Shangzhiwei has already realized the universal equipment of arquebuses, and even the proportion of equipment exceeds that of European countries in 16XX, and the proportion of equipment and the number of equipment of artillery are far exceeded, and the army of the Ming Dynasty has also formed a new phalanx under the personal guidance of Yunxi, and has played a huge role in the just-concluded battle of Yiwu!

Moreover, just a few days after the Chinese New Year, Yunxi received a report from the research and development agency that the flintlock pistol had been successfully developed! Yun Xi will immediately start equipping the flintlock pistol in the upper straight guard, and hand over the eliminated arquebus to the field guard to equip it.

All this is exactly the same as when the General Staff was created, so Yun Xi made up his mind to carry out a major change to the current system and set up a General Staff Department; If he hadn't heard the news of the invention of the flintlock pistol, he would have made changes, but not on such a large scale. Moreover, he thought that instead of reforming one at a time, it would be better to do it in one step and directly set up a four-headquarters system.

Of course, for the Ming Dynasty at this time, the system of the four general departments of the Military Commission was relatively advanced, so Yunxi made certain changes, and the responsibilities of each ministry were not exactly the same as those of the four general departments of the Military Commission, and a separate branch was set up to manage the finances of the national army.

In addition, Yunxi also set up the Jiangnan Metropolitan Command Envoy and Ying Tianxing Command Envoy, and changed all the armies except Shangzhiwei and Xiaolingwei from the direct jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies to the jurisdiction of these two yamen.

The reason why Yunxi is like this is, firstly, because although there are capital divisions and Xingdu divisions in the various guard posts in the field, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies still directly governs some of the affairs of these guard posts; In his vision, the newly established ministries of the Metropolitan Governor's Office no longer directly govern the guards, but only manage the local capitals and departments. In this way, it was very embarrassing for the Zhili Guard, which was originally not managed by the capital division or the Xingdu division. Therefore set up these two yamen to manage them.

Second, during the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the position of Admiral of the Nine Gates was set up to manage the army near the capital, which was not directly managed by the central yamen, and there was no rebellion, but it made the army management more orderly, so he was willing to hand over most of the guards to the newly established yamen. However, he still kept a hand, and still grabbed the upper guard directly in his hand.

The four-headquarters system should be the most advanced military system in the world at this time. It's just that although I have made certain changes, I may not be able to adapt to the backward means of communication and transportation in this era, and I will have to adjust it later, but the general direction will not change. Yun Xi thought.

After thinking about it, he raised his head and looked at the officials in front of him, and immediately felt a little surprised. 'I have only made such a large-scale change, why is there no one talking about it?' ’

How did he know that it was precisely because his change was so great that the civil and military officials present did not react at all to what kind of change Yun Xi had made at this time. This is completely different from the previous withdrawal of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the establishment of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, which is a subversive change to the current central military management system of the Ming Dynasty.

Even Xu Huizu and the others did not kneel down for the first time and say that the ministers obeyed the order. Although Yun Xi had revealed some of the changes before, he was not completely sure of them, so he couldn't tell them, they only heard Yun Xi say that it was a 'huge change', but the details were not clear, and his head was buzzing and a mess at this time.

However, Xu Huizu is a long-time veteran of the eunuch field after all, although from a military point of view, it is impossible to judge whether such a change is good or bad, but from the perspective of interests, it is quickly judged: the interests of the Xu family have not been damaged! Although he will not serve as the governor for a long time, he can see that Yun Xi attaches great importance to the Xu family and has not violated the interests of the Xu family.

He thought back to the list of people, and found that it did not affect the interests of the Chang family, the Lan family, the Li family and other families, and he was sure that he would kneel down and say "obey the order" to break the silence in the hall.

But just as he had just bent down and had not yet knelt down to speak, the silence in the hall had been broken by others. "Your Majesty. The minister thought that although there were some minor problems with the military attache system that the Ming Dynasty was now doing, it was no big problem after all, and it was enough to change the existing problems, and there was no need to make such a huge change. Your Majesty, the yamen set up by His Majesty this time has never been set up before, and it is not known what will happen to it, and it may not be beneficial to the imperial court to completely abolish the original system and establish a new system. A man dressed in a five-grade civil official costume suddenly stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that rashly abolishing the original military attache system and implementing a new system may cause turmoil in the court; Moreover, the current military attache system was created by the former emperor, and it may be inappropriate to make such a big change, so please think twice. Another person wearing the costume of the Seven Grades of Imperial History stood up.

"Your Majesty, the minister is a military general, and he doesn't know too much, but it may not be easy for His Majesty's newly established yamen to coordinate their functions and powers with the local capital and the Xingdu department, and how to govern the guards." A man dressed in a second-grade military general's costume also stood up and said a few words.

After that, eight or nine more individuals came forward and put forward their opinions from various aspects. Although their words were as tactful as possible, they meant that they were against Yunxi's reforms, or at least against such a big reform.

Yun Xi glanced at all the dozen or so officials who had been admonished, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. He coughed twice and cleared his throat, and said loudly: "What you Aiqing said is also reasonable, so these holy decrees will be put aside first, and I will deal with a few other things first. ”
