The outbreak of the corruption case of the Arsenal Division completely led to the abolition of the Arsenal Division of the Ming Dynasty, and the case was over, but the matter still had to be resolved. Ordnance is the top priority, and without the Arsenal Division, what are you playing.

Early the next morning, Zhu Yijun convened a cabinet of scholars and six scholars to discuss the court.

Whether it is a cabinet scholar or a scholar of the six ministries, this time the emperor held a court meeting, all of them were nervous, obviously the emperor is going to do something this time.

If, according to the normal process, the corruption case of the Arsenal Division is investigated, then the newly appointed personnel of the Arsenal Division will be the same, and there is no need to hold any court meetings. Although the Arsenal Division is a very fat yamen, the Langzhong of the Arsenal Division is only five grades.

The official position is five grades, and he is not a cabinet scholar, what kind of court discussion, this meaning is already obvious, and the emperor is going to do things again.

For this reason, whether it is a few cabinet scholars or six scholars, their expressions are very serious. Now no one regards this young son of heaven as a son of heaven who is not four or six, after all, there are also human spirits here.

Maybe I didn't find it before, but after so long, I can know it after a little thought, how can this not be four or six?

The cabinet scholar and the six scholars, although they did not talk, but they also made eye contact. Everyone's meaning is also obvious, the emperor must not be allowed to do anything unreliable, and he must do his best to stop it.

When Zhu Yijun arrived at the scene, he instantly felt a serious and dignified atmosphere.

His eyes swept over the faces of the people present, and Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "You Aiqing seem to be in good spirits, this is very good!" ”

Seeing that no one wanted to talk about this topic, not even a sycophant, Zhu Yijun could only end up embarrassed, it seemed that it was impossible to liven up the atmosphere. After pondering for a moment, Zhu Yijun said directly: "Today, I am looking for you Aiqing to come here for the matter of the Arsenal Division. ”

"Not long after I ascended the throne, there was such a case in the Arsenal Division, and I am very heartbroken."

"Someone gave me an excerpt, saying that the punishment of the Arsenal Division was too heavy and that it was not benevolent, but every time I think of those soldiers who fought in the border towns, they actually used such weapons, and I am very heartbroken."

"They defend the country for the Ming Dynasty, defend the land for the Ming Dynasty and resist the enemy, they use such weapons, I'm sorry for them!"

Although the cabinet scholars and the six scholars present had no expression on their faces, they knew in their hearts that this was all foreshadowing, and this was all setting the tone. The meaning is obvious, and you should pay attention when you speak.

Of course, this is just one of Zhu Yijun's ideas, and another idea is recorded next to it.

In the future, it will all be historical data, and whether you can be great or not depends on these.

"How many soldiers should have died on the battlefield when those soldiers used such ordnance? How do I explain to their parents, how do I explain to their wives and children? Those are my people, what should I do? ”

"How can I spare them? Be a latecomer to the ring! ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Zhu Yijun said: "In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, I am going to split the Arsenal Division. ”

Anyway, things have come to this point, and Zhu Yijun is not ready to discuss it with them, so he will say it directly. However, Zhu Yijun also knew that the Arsenal Division could no longer be stripped from the Ministry of War, and if it was stripped off, the Ministry of War would have nothing left.

What do you want an empty shell military department to do, even if it is stripped off, it can't guarantee the quality of the ordnance made by the Arsenal Division, so splitting is the king.

The ministers were not much surprised when they heard Zhu Yijun's words, they were originally engaged in things today, and it would be strange if the emperor didn't make some moths come out.

"I don't know how the emperor wants to split it?" Zhang Siwei was the first assistant to the cabinet, so this matter was naturally in his charge, so he asked first.

There is no way to oppose it, after all, it is really embarrassing that the matter of the Arsenal Division is out of the matter, and it is really unspeakable to speak for the Arsenal Division. The key is what you say, if you make that bunch of bad things, if you say it, you will probably be scolded back by the emperor.

"That's what I think, who knows most about ordnance? Of course, it is the people who use them, so what ordnance to cast, how much, these they know best. ”

"In the future, the ordnance cast shall be subject to the performance of the border army, and the general soldiers of all localities shall ask for ordnance according to the soldiers and types of troops under their jurisdiction. The music was folded and handed to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and after verification by the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the music was given to me. ”

Zhu Yijun will not let the concert go to the cabinet, and he is ready to strip the military power from the cabinet and set up an institution similar to the military aircraft department. In other words, Zhu Yijun is ready to develop the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces into an organization similar to the Military Aircraft Department.

"After my approval, the ordnance will be handed over to the newly established Armament Department to be responsible for casting."

"Speaking of the Armament Division, this yamen is split from the Arsenal Division, and is responsible for the casting and recovery of ordnance. Of course, the Armaments Division is also subordinate to the Ministry of Industry, and there is one Langzhong, the same as Langzhong of the Arsenal Division. ”

"As for the Arsenal Division, it is in charge of the transportation of ordnance and the establishment of a complete ordnance supply and transportation system."

"Then it was said that the armament department was responsible for casting, and after the five military governors sent personnel to inspect it, they would be handed over to the arsenal department to escort it."

"The escorted soldiers are sent by the Beijing battalion to protect the safety along the way."

"In this way, the general army will be requested, the governor's office of the five armies will be approved, I will give instructions, the armament department will be manufactured, and the arsenal department will be stored and escorted, and a complete ordnance system will be structured."

The general soldier is invited, as for whether to approve or not, that is what the emperor said, the armament department specializes in manufacturing, regardless of others, just like the arsenal of later generations. The Arsenal Division is in charge of escorting, supplemented by the soldiers of the Beijing camp, which can avoid danger and ghosts on the road.

The ordnance manufactured by the Armament Department must be inspected by the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces, and only after passing the test is allowed to be sent to various places.

It seems to be cumbersome, but in fact, from demand to casting, from inspection to transportation, it is completely separated. Separate the right of acceptance from the right of casting to avoid the phenomenon of shoddy. In this way, the Ministry of War still controls the Armament Department and the Arsenal Division, but its power is weakened.

The power of acceptance was given to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and the power to make ordnance was given to the local commander-in-chief.

With mutual checks and balances and mutual restraints, the emperor can have an overview of the overall situation, which part has problems, which part of the responsibility will be investigated, and there will be no unclear rights and responsibilities. In this way, Zhu Yijun will be able to hold the ordnance in his hand.

If there is too much, and the approval is sent to the Ministry of War, it will be reported there, there is no money, there is no production, there are too many, and the indiscriminate use of ordnance can also be avoided. It is not easy for the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces to buy people's hearts and minds by relying on ordnance.

Of course, this is not what Zhu Yijun cares about, Xiao En Xiaohui is inevitable, as long as there is no large-scale hoarding of armaments, then it will be fine.

When the ministers heard this, they didn't know what the expression was on their faces, and the emperor's plan really didn't know what to say.

Don't agree, the previous Arsenal Division was like that, and the emperor didn't cut the power of the Ministry of War too much, although the Arsenal Division was split, but the Arsenal Division was still in the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War also had some more official positions.

Agree, I always feel that the power has been weakened, after all, it used to be my own opinion, this time to get a five-army governor's office to participate in it, and the general soldiers from all over the country asked to play, although the military department retains the arsenal department and the armament department, but they are all yamen who do not count.

The cabinet is even more embarrassing, if you don't get to the cabinet, go to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, what's going on?

"Your Majesty, in this way, I am afraid that there will be a lot of additional expenditures, and the imperial court is already tight, if this happens, I am afraid that it will cause redundant officials!" Shen Shixing pondered for a moment and said with some concern.

Zhu Yijun glanced at Shen Shixing, and said with a smile: "Shen Aiqing, you settle an account for me." ”

"In seven years, Liu Xuan's arsenal department embezzled more than two million taels of silver, you come and tell me, if these more than two million taels of silver are used to pay money to the new official position, how long can it be paid?"

In a word, Zhu Yijun directly said that Shen Shixing had nothing to say, so he had to say: "It's the minister's inconsiderate thought!" ”

"Your Majesty, isn't it inappropriate for this to be folded to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies?" Zhang Siwei couldn't help but speak: "The fold has always been sent to the cabinet, and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies has not approved the fold, so it's better to let the general soldiers from all over the country send the fold to the cabinet, right?" ”

Zhu Yijun waved his hand: "After the ordnance manufacturing is completed, the Governor's Office of the Fifth Bureau will also be responsible for acceptance, and after the acceptance is completed, the Governor's Office of the Fifth Bureau will also coordinate the Beijing Camp and the Arsenal Division to escort them, and the fold will be handed to them, which is much more convenient, so don't fight for this." Anyway, the fold will be handed to me in the end, and it's not the same. ”

You are the emperor, you say the same is the same, no one dares to say it is different.

Say something different, what do you want to do? Instead of the emperor's reply? Don't want your life anymore? The eunuch of the celebrant can approve the red, but the minister can't, if you want to approve, you can be emasculated into the palace!

Wu Dui, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is actually the most complicated among these people, and his plea is handed over, but there is still no explanation.

On such an occasion, it is not appropriate for him to say anything, after all, the big basket of the Arsenal Division is not finished, and he has no confidence in saying anything. You can't say that this can't be done, let's stay in the military department!

Even if the emperor doesn't pursue it, Wu Dui doesn't have the face to say that, it's too embarrassing.

In addition, Wu Dui was born as a local governor and fought in Xuanfu for many years, to be honest, he was not less angry with the Arsenal Division of the Ministry of War, and now he is a little happy to hear the emperor's arrangement. But the head determines the ass, he is now the secretary of the military department, not the local governor.

Although they knew that the news spread to various places, and the governors of various places would probably drink a cup of it, they had long been fed up with the bird's anger of the Arsenal Division, and they had to send them money and beg their grandfather to tell their grandmother.

If it is replaced by the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, it will be different, all the Metropolitan Governors in it, those are all old people, you don't give me good armaments, and you still accept bribes, so do you want to do it?

Even if it is to win people's hearts, they will fight for good things for their subordinates.
