Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Great Xia Military System III

Zhang Xuan said: "The minister believes that as long as such a reform can be completed, it will definitely be a problem to sweep the east." ”

For this, Zhang Xuan is extremely confirmed.

This is Zhang Xuan's new positioning.

Sun Tzu's Art of War, said at the beginning; Sun Tzu said: Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be overlooked. Therefore, the scriptures are based on five things, and the school is based on calculations to find out their feelings: one is the Tao, the second is the sky, the third is the earth, the fourth is the general, and the fifth is the law. ”

Zhang Xuan pondered day and night, this "way." The word may have other interpretations in other people's places. But in Zhang Xuan's mind, it refers to the political system.

Those who have a little bit of insight will know. The military system of the Xia Army formulated by Zhang Xuan is to copy the system of the General Staff, and it can even be said that it is not the essence of copying. There are some things that Zhang Xuan does not understand, and Zhang Xuan does not learn this, and he has only heard of the system of the General Staff Headquarters, and he has never worked in the General Staff Headquarters, so how do he know how the General Staff operates. It was just a combination of what he had learned about the General Staff system and the reality of Bactria .

There are compromises in many places.

Behind the system of the General Staff is a modern state. And now Daxia is far from being a modern country, so it is a little powerless to support this nondescript general staff system. If this system is really strictly implemented, the number of officers in the General Staff system will certainly increase by a large margin. Of the more than 600,000 troops, there must be at least 10,000 officers. The number of officials in the entire Ming Dynasty was only about 20,000. If nothing else, this financial pressure cannot be supported.

All Zhang Xuan could do was to erect a shelf, and then slowly improve it by himself.

Zhang Xuan already has a draft in his heart.

If only he could serve as a privy councillor. For the rest of his life, he was only going to do one thing, to improve the military system.

Because he believes that the Xia army will fall behind on the battlefield for a while, and this perfect system will eventually produce a steady stream of qualified generals and qualified officers, and the overall quality of the Xia army will definitely be better than that of the Qing army.

This is based on the self-confidence of the advanced system, and it is also based on the self-confidence of tens of millions of Han people.

The Qing court has always been that the number of Manchus is too small, so the Manchus are all geniuses, and the talents produced by more than 100 people are by no means comparable to the talents produced by the Han people.

This is Zhang Xuan's way to win.

Immediately, Zhang Xuan explained to Luo Yulong the border town system, with four expeditions or four town generals, to lead a military town, and each military town has several armies under its jurisdiction. No more than 100,000 people. Because of the war of more than 100,000 people, the forbidden army should be sent to participate, and a general should be selected from the Privy Council to be the commander of the general. Or choose one of the current generals to be the commander.

According to the system planned by Zhang Xuan, anyone who can become a general is over fifty years old, and if he wins, he will be knighted. Even if it's a king. After being crowned king, you can live in Beijing and live idlely, as long as the system continues to layer, there will be a steady stream of generals coming out, and they are not afraid of high merit.

And the generals of the four towns also have jurisdiction over the prefects of various places.

However, this jurisdiction is only both, and the power to appoint personnel is still in the Ministry of Officials. All his orders to the local authorities can be carried out first, and if there is anything wrong, the cabinet and the Privy Council will fight a lawsuit.

After Luo Yulong listened, he compared Qian Qianyi's system. I'm biased.

The Ming system is very bad in many places, and the worst thing is the military system.

As mentioned above, the Ministry of War appears to be the highest military administration, but it does not seem to have jurisdiction over the local military. Or the jurisdiction is very vague, then the Ming Dynasty itself does not think that the military department is the top boss of the world's soldiers and horses.

In the Hongwu system, the top boss of the local health offices is the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.

However, with the collapse of the guard system, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies also became the Governor's Mansion of the Armyless. The nobles who served as the governors of the five armies also became idle. In the constitution of the Privy Council formulated by Qian Qianyi, it seems that the Privy Council is another name for the Ministry of War.

In other words, hang up a few generals and let the civilian officials carry them out.

Whether it is Qian Qianyi's selfishness or the ambition of the entire civil service system, they want to make the Privy Council part of the civil service system, not the other way around.

And now is the time to use force, Luo Yulong will not let the civilian officials press on the heads of the generals. But after a long time, when the world is peaceful, it is estimated that the Privy Council envoy will become the title of civil official.

Luo Yulong didn't think so far, but Zhang Xuan's plan still made Luo Yulong refreshed. But at the same time. Luo Yulong's idea of making Zhang Xuan an envoy to the Privy Council faded.

Although Luo Yulong heard that Zhang Xuan's plan was not a mask, it was just a draft, for example, the garrison of the palace was not said, I don't know if Zhang Xuan avoided suspicion or missed it, and there are still many places that have not been elaborated.

But Luo Yulong still felt a huge threat to the Privy Council system.

It can be said that all the power in the world is vested in the Privy Council, and it is easy for anyone who can really control this system and overthrow the imperial court.

Although Zhang Xuan had many restrictions when designing. The biggest restriction is that the Privy Council is nominally the supreme leader of the Privy Council, but the Privy Council Vice-Envoy has the same powers as the cabinet elders, and the power of the Imperial Council, that is to say, the Privy Council Envoy and the Privy Council Vice-Envoy seem to have a subordinate relationship, but in fact they are not, they are just colleagues.

It's like the Cabinet, the Cabinet

Although Shousuke can suppress other cabinet elders, it cannot be said that the cabinet chief assistant is the boss of other cabinet elders.

and transferred officers at all levels to serve as imperial guards, giving the emperor the opportunity to win over officers, as long as an emperor is not a fool. Establish a large number of diehards in the army. But these still did not give the emperor enough security.

During Luo Yulong's one or two years in Nanjing, although he didn't have time to study, he also listened to many civil officials around him tell a lot of stories.

The stories here are not stories for children to listen to, but historical anecdotes, and many historical anecdotes are indispensable for the young lord to come to the court. When the emperor is unable to perform his duties, what will the privy council system evolve into, and whether the guards who enter the palace are the emperor's cronies, or whether they evolve into the eyes of the powerful ministers to the palace.

I don't know.

Of course, Luo Yulong didn't think much about it. What he thought about more was Zhang Xuan.

The Privy Council has so much power, and now it is just a blueprint, and if you want to establish a Privy Council system, Zhang Xuan's power will only be greater. In addition, many of the inside stories of the Battle of Xiangyang cannot be hidden, Zhang Xuan's prestige in the army has increased greatly, and if Zhang Xuan is established as a privy council envoy, he will still be a privy council envoy with so much power.

The first person in the army? Luo Yulong prides himself on being the emperor immediately, how can he accommodate the first person in an army with such prestige.

And as far as Luo Rucai's last life is concerned, what he thinks is that Luo Yulong is in the center and Zhang Xuan is going to the place. Luo Yulong also understands that Luo Rucai's design is not long-lasting, of course, after Luo Yulong stabilizes the situation, he doesn't have to be so careful.

Zhang Xuan's mission was accomplished.

At this time, it was not that Luo Yulong did not trust Zhang Xuan, but one mountain could not tolerate two tigers. This will not be eliminated because Zhang Xuan has no dissent, after all, Zhang Xuan represents not only himself, but also a group of brothers who fought with him, and Luo Yulong is not only behind him, but also a large number of old people of the Luo family.

Anyone who can be in a high position, except for some favored ministers with shallow roots, has his own group of people. And the power space of the center is so big, who will eat this cake? Luo Yulong dared to concede any power, but the military power did not dare to give in the slightest.

Zhang Xuan sat in the Privy Council, which could only deepen internal friction. As long as Luo Yulong determines his absolute authority, and then transfers Zhang Xuan to the central government, the pattern has been established at that time, and Zhang Xuan can't change it all if he wants to.

can only act within the framework of Luo Yulong.

Therefore, the more perfect Zhang Xuan's plan is, the more satisfied Luo Yulong is, and the more Luo Yulong can't let Zhang Xuan take office as a privy councillor at this time.

Luo Yulong asked Li Guofu to come over and collected all of Zhang Xuan's manuscripts on the constitution of the Privy Council. As soon as his voice changed, he said: "There is one thing, I want to discuss one or two with you, Gao Yigong has attacked Hanzhong from the northwest." ”
