Chapter 1 Military and Political Reform [No. 4, Fifth Update]
Everything is in place for the reforms, but in order to be able to implement this drastic reform, there is a very important link that needs to be called "justifiable" in the eyes of outsiders.
For this reason, Wang Tianjie secretly sent people to Luoyang to use Zhen Yi's connections to successfully contact Zhang Rang and others, the "Ten Standing Attendants", and successfully obtained a so-called official position of Liaodong Taishou from Zhang Rang and others through heavy money.
Finally, everything is ready.
In Liaodong, a military and political reform that was of far-reaching significance to the entire Three Kingdoms era and even to the entire future generations was finally introduced.
In terms of administration, Wang Tianjie adopted the system of three provinces and six ministries in the later Sui and Tang dynasties, after all, any democratic politics implemented in this era is nonsense, and before the relations of production and productive forces have not reached that height, and the people have not yet had that kind of political consciousness, it will only cause chaos in the world.
However, with the help of Shi Qingcheng, Wang Tianjie "eliminated the false and kept the essence" of the six-ministry system of the three provinces, and while adopting the division of labor among the three provinces and the six departments of etiquette, officials, criminals, soldiers, households, and workers, he also eliminated the cumbersome system of reviewing government decrees in the three provinces.
The main goal of setting up the administrative structure is to be efficient and efficient, and there is no need to add too many institutions to make the administration too cumbersome and cumbersome.
Similarly, for the candidates of various departments, Wang Tianjie also thought about it again and again.
The military department is a collection of intelligence departments and staff departments in later generations, not only responsible for collecting intelligence from all parts of the world but also formulating appropriate strategic plans in a timely manner.
The Ministry of Industry is responsible for the construction and maintenance of various projects. In addition, Wang Tianjie is also ready to vigorously develop industry and commerce, which will also be included in the management scope of the Ministry of Industry at that time. Therefore, it is only fitting that Ma Jun's talent in this area is appropriate.
For Zheng Hun, he became Ma Jun's deputy, after all, the complexity of things in the Ministry of Industry is probably even better than that of the Ministry of War.
The Criminal Department is in charge of the review and final judgment of various civil lawsuits, understands and handles various civil disputes, and with Tian Feng's upright temperament and the virtue of integrity, this position belonging to Tian Feng should be the best choice.
The Ministry of Households, that is, the Ministry of Finance, will independently account for the financial revenues and expenditures in the territory, and be responsible for collecting various taxes, and send people to review the investment in various constructions, and manage huge financial funds, which requires not only that Wang Tianjie must be absolutely trustworthy, but also that he has unique ability in business and financial management, and it is best to be a long-term business owner. Therefore, this position is reserved for Zhen Yi.
The Ministry of Officials, for this department, is also an important part of the reform, mainly responsible for the supervision, review, impeachment and recommendation of officials. Originally, this position was not Guo Jia's subordinate, but because Guo Jia still had another important task, as a result, under the unanimous recommendation of everyone, Wang Tianjie had to reluctantly take his place temporarily, and there will be more suitable candidates to replace him in the future.
The Ministry of Rites, the last of the six departments, is mainly responsible for the diplomacy between the current and the vassal states, as well as the future reform of education, imperial examinations and other matters, originally, let the spare Zheng Hun serve, but Zheng Hun is a big boss in this regard, and the Ministry of Rites is also related to the future and other educational reforms, must be able to work with Wang Tianjie's thoughts, and finally, Wang Tianjie boldly let Shi Qingcheng take this position, because only Shi Qingcheng can understand the concept and purpose of Wang Tianjie's reform, of course, there is no need for Shi Qingcheng to come forward in person for diplomatic envoys, Because Shi Qingcheng's talent has already impressed Guo Jia and others, there is no objection to Shi Qingcheng's appointment. However, Shi Qingcheng, like Wang Tianjie, is only serving as a temporary position now. Despite this, Wang Tianjie's move also created a precedent for women to serve in important departments, which greatly stimulated women to show their talents and laid a certain foundation for the liberation of women in later generations.
For the three provinces. Zhongshu Province is responsible for making decrees, and the subordinate provinces are in charge of refuting and deliberating, and the important tasks of these two provinces are entrusted to Guo Jia, who is absolutely competent with Guo Jia's ability.
Shangshu Province, on the other hand, is in charge of all matters under the jurisdiction of the six ministries, so it is only appropriate for Tian Yu, a genius in internal affairs, to be in charge.
In addition, in addition to this, the independent establishment of the Imperial History Supervision Department, this department and the six departments in the Ministry of officials have roughly the same responsibilities, but directly subordinate to Wang Tianjie, for this department because there is really no candidate, and Wang Tianjie said that he does not want to hold two positions, and finally after unanimous discussion, it is believed that Tian Feng, who serves as the criminal department, can be competent at the same time, so Tian Feng temporarily replaced his position.
In addition, Wang Tianjie and Shi Qingcheng began to formulate a series of relevant laws and regulations to ensure the smooth implementation and implementation of various policies and decrees, as well as to restrain the daily behavior of the people, and at the same time, to continuously revise and improve the designated laws according to specific conditions in the future.
The introduction of the system of three provinces and six ministries made Guo Jiatian Yu and his civil servants shocked, and the various institutions not only restrained each other, but complemented each other, so as to not only save a lot of energy so that people can do their jobs and make the best use of things, but also can more effectively implement various government decrees and measures, compared with the current Eastern Han Dynasty redundant and corrupt mechanism, it can almost be said to be a perfect existence.
Although there are still various deficiencies due to the lack of outstanding personnel in various positions, with the gradual arrival of various talents in the future, we can imagine what kind of impact this refreshing and novel structural reform will have.
For this reason, Tian Yu exaggerated: "Lord, you are my heaven, my earth,......, and even willing to sacrifice ...... for you." ”
Before Tian Yu finished speaking, Wang Tianjie finally couldn't help but kick Tian Yu in disgust to relieve his anger.
Due to the introduction of the system of six ministries in the three provinces, coupled with the orderly coordination of various departments, the results of various work have been rapidly multiplied, and the internal affairs have finally begun to enter into formalization.
As the saying goes: "There is no separation between military and government!" ”
After the administrative system was regularized, Wang Tianjie began to reform the military again.
Wang Tianjie is now in the Three Kingdoms period, almost every army regardless of the size of the situation has a general command, and the situation on the battlefield can be described as ever-changing, anything can be born, once the general has any accidents, there will often be a large-scale rout due to the lack of leadership of the army, or there is a situation where the soldiers do not know the generals, and the army command is not effective, which is definitely a taboo for soldiers!
As for military reform, Wang Tianjie almost abandoned all the old systems of this era, and in military reform, he did not have many worries about the reform of the administrative system.
The army building adopts the modern army formation model of squads, platoons, companies, battalions, regiments, brigades, divisions, armies, and group armies.
In this way, the management of the armed forces will be more meticulous and orderly, and it will be possible to fundamentally avoid and eliminate the "vacuum" in the command of the armed forces at all levels, because the armed forces are commanded and led through each level, and in this way, not only will the hard-won vital forces be preserved as much as possible, but there may even be a great victory in turning defeat into victory.
To put it bluntly: a unit is led and commanded by a single person, and it is also led and commanded by a group of people. Among them, it is natural to see which is better and which is inferior.
Moreover, the advantages of such reform can enable more soldiers with command and leadership potential to stand out from the selection of troops and tap a large number of military talents, and it can also stimulate the atmosphere of soldiers who dare to fight hard and have the courage to be the first, thus creating a benign and healthy exhibition of the entire army.
With regard to the establishment of the army, Wang Tianjie is based on ten people per squad, three squads are a platoon, three platoons are a company, and so on, and the three armies are a large group army. That is to say, the platoon has 30 men, the company has 100 men, the battalion has 300 men, the regiment has 1,000 men, the brigade has 3,000 men, the division has 10,000 men, the army has 30,000 men, and the group army has reached 100,000 people.
However, with the current military strength of Wang Tianjie, it is not enough to form a large group army. To this end, Wang Tianjie divided the 150,000 army into five armies, which were commanded by Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Zhang Liao, and Zang Ba.
As for Gao Shun, Wang Tianjie listed the characteristics of Gao Shun at all, and asked him to form and build the most elite cavalry division.
At the same time, in order to encourage healthy competition between the armies, Wang Tianjie also deliberately implemented the corps hierarchy system, because the size of the army was too large, Wang Tianjie took the regimental establishment as a unit. That is to say, if the army is the unit, there are a total of 27 regiments below, and the fifth army has a total of 135 regiments, that is, these regiments are divided into four levels according to their combat effectiveness: A, B, C, and D. Wang Tianjie will arrange an audit on a regular or irregular basis, and promote the rank according to the military merits he has made, while the regiments that have no military merits or have relatively few regiments will be treated as demotion.
Therefore, if we want to look at the comparison of the strength of the five armies, we only need to look at how many regiments under their jurisdiction can enter the first class, and we can see at a glance.
In addition, in the future, the treatment of soldiers and the equipment they are granted will also be distinguished according to their ranks, the higher the level of the regimental soldiers, the better the treatment, the better the equipment, and the priority of new equipment, and the regiment that has been listed above the first grade for three consecutive examinations can not only obtain the right to be exempted from examination once, but also obtain its own title.
Therefore, Wang Tianjie's military reform can be described as earth-shaking, which not only shocked Lu Bu Guo Jia and his generals and ministers again, but also caused an uproar in the whole army.
In addition, Wang Tianjie also specially stipulated that during the busy agricultural season, soldiers participated in the sowing or harvesting of crops, so as to reduce the burden of military service on the people as much as possible and achieve self-sufficiency.
With the gradual implementation of military and political reforms, Liaodong is undergoing earth-shaking changes......!
