Chapter 1219: Military Reform – Five in One
"The minister knocks to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" In the Fengtian Palace, an earth-shaking shout sounded, and more than a thousand ministers knelt down at the same time, kneeling down facing the throne due north and said.
"Everyone loves to be flat." Yun Xi said with a smile. The generals of the Han Dynasty immediately shouted loudly, spreading these words to every corner of the palace.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." All the ministers present thanked them again, and then stood up.
"This year, I thought that although the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the first day of the Shangyuan Festival, the lantern festival of the Shangyuan Festival is from the thirteenth day of the first month to the seventeenth day of the first month, for five consecutive days. I know that only the Shangyuan Festival is the most lively throughout the year, and I also know that both you and the people are willing to go out to visit the Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival, so it is decided that the opening day of this year will start from the eighteenth day of the first month, I don't know what you Aiqing thinks, you can go to the Lantern Market to watch the Lantern Festival on the sixteenth and seventeenth, buy a few lanterns and come back, and guess the riddle with your family? Yun Xi said with a smile.
"Your Majesty is sympathetic to the ministers, and the ministers are inscribed." Mei Yin, the secretary of the military department, said: "The minister went to the lantern festival with his family on the 16th the day before yesterday, bought a few lanterns and went home to guess riddles with Her Royal Highness the princess. ”
Everyone was a little surprised that Mei Yin came forward to answer. According to the usual practice, if the emperor asks so casually, it should be the answer of the Ministry of Rites. But when you hear it, you will understand. Mei Yin is a concubine, the emperor's uncle, and what he said just now is indeed more like family members talking to each other, and it is normal for him to answer.
However, 'Why haven't you heard Mei Yin answer like this before?' Someone thought.
"Princess Ningguo talked about this when she entered the palace yesterday," Yun Xi smiled and said, "Mei Shangshu, you guessed the lantern riddle and didn't guess it." I remember that you are very good at writing, in the past, when the emperor summoned you to the palace, only the king of Shu could be stunned with you, how did you behave so badly yesterday? ”
"Your Majesty, because I was going to the court in two days, the minister was thinking about the errand of the military department, but he was a little absent-minded at that time, so he didn't guess much."
"Hey, since it's a holiday, why bother thinking about errands. Just have a good holiday, and it's not too late to think about the errand after the opening of the government. ”
"Your Majesty, this errand minister did not suddenly remember, but noticed something before His Majesty returned to Beijing a year ago, and after His Majesty returned to Beijing, he talked to Wei Guogong and others about the war with Samarkand last year, and he thought about it. Because I am going to the court today, I thought more about it in the first two days. ”
"What the hell is Mei Shangshu thinking about like this?"
"Your Majesty, the minister has a good song." Mei Yin took out a notebook from his bosom, handed it to the waiter, and said at the same time: "The minister has been in charge of the military department for several years, and he has found that the current system of the five military governors is slightly inappropriate. ”
He continued: "Since the end of the Hongwu period, the soldiers of the guard have been using firearms more and more, and firearms are different from all other weapons, and each time they are used, they need to be loaded with ammunition, and the amount used is very large, and it is difficult to take the enemy. In addition, the gunpowder used in firearms needs to be kept with great care, as the slightest carelessness in the explosion will cause huge losses and affect the subsequent battles. ”
"And there are a lot of loopholes in the logistics of the current logistics. The general small battles, such as the expedition to Annam the year before last and the expedition to the Western Regions last year, sent hundreds of thousands of troops to use the people to transport grain and grass have all kinds of problems, Wei Guogong once said to his ministers, such an arrangement of grain and grass, if it is not for the fact that there are many stocks of grain in Yiwu City and Shaanxi Xingdu Division, relying on the people to transport thousands of troops can not supply the grain and grass of 800,000 troops. ”
"There are also some minor problems. Therefore, the minister thought that the current system was slightly flawed, and put forward the minister's opinion for His Majesty to take a look. ”
Hearing this last sentence, Shi Cai wondered why Mei Yin didn't come out to answer in the past, but the people who came out to answer today were all in their hearts: This must have been arranged by the emperor!
It must be that the emperor wants to continue to reform the current military attache system, but suddenly proposing the reform is a bit abrupt, so he arranged for Mei Yin to sing a double reed here, raised the issue of the current military attache system and the conquest system, and put forward his own opinions. As the secretary of the military department, he put forward his opinions as it should be, and no one can say anything. After that, the emperor said a few more words, and then threw out the holy decree to carry out reform. ’
A few days ago, I heard that His Majesty allowed Concubine Chen to return to the Wei Mansion to save her relatives, and then went to the Wei Mansion to pick up people in person. Now it seems that this is clearly an opportunity for His Majesty to look for an unobtrusive conversation with Wei Guogong. Dong Lun, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, thought secretly in his heart.
He looked sideways at the officials on either side. Xu Huizu, Chang Sheng and the others all stood in place very calmly, without any surprised expressions; Tyrant Zhao and other civil officials are the same, and they are more certain of their judgments.
I just don't know how Your Majesty will reform. His Majesty was mostly worried that the military generals would be difficult to govern, so the reform of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies was mostly to suppress the military generals with civilian military attachés. ’
The subsequent process was exactly as Dong Lun had guessed. He guessed exactly right, Mei Yin was the person he arranged to use to lead the topic. Although Yun Xi directly threw out the holy decree when he went to the court, he always felt that this was too blunt, and felt that it was better to turn around, so he discussed with Mei Yin in advance and arranged for him to be the trustee.
I only heard Yunxi say: "Mei Yuma and I thought of going together." This time, I followed the army to the Western Regions, although I did not interfere too much with Wei Guogong and others in commanding the soldiers to fight, but I also found some problems, and after returning to Beijing, I discussed this matter with several Aiqing, and they all believed that changes should be made. ”
"After discussing with several generals, I drafted the following will to reform the military attache system of the Ming Dynasty."
"Fengtian carried the emperor's edict and said, withdraw the five military governors' mansions, re-establish the metropolitan governor's mansion, and use the metropolitan governor's mansion to control the world's soldiers and horses. Lengthened Xinghou Geng Bingwen's left pillar national honor, and awarded the special rank of Ronglu doctor; Xu Hui, the Duke of Jiawei, was awarded the rank of Doctor Ronglu. With Changxing Marquis Geng Bingwen and Wei Guogong Xu Huizu as the governors of the capital, the left and right governors are the same knowledge. Chin this. ”
Before this decree could be read, there was a 'buzzing' discussion in the main hall. Most of the officials couldn't hear or see the ministers who were standing at the front, and they didn't know what they were talking about; But the decree was read out to all officials, so most of the officials had no idea what had happened before, and when they heard such a big change, they immediately talked about it.
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." ”
