After this day, Zhang Lingyang went out of the palace alone for a few days, and it was not until he got tired of shopping that Zhang Lingyang completely retracted.

However, Zhang Lingyang has not been in the DPRK in the past few days, and he has not dealt with the DPRK and China. Whenever it is not a major military matter, Zhang Lingyang will hand over government affairs to Zheng Yongji, the first assistant of the cabinet. I stayed in the Chen'an Hall every day without leaving home, writing and painting on the desk, and I didn't know what I was writing.

It wasn't until five days later that Zhang Lingyang called Xiao Fuzi in and ordered: "Immediately draft an order to spread the message of Xining Hou Ma Jinzhong and the old prince Sun Ding'an to enter Beijing." ”

"Ning Guogong?" Xiaofuzi was a little surprised, since Zhang Lingyang's first southern tour, Sun Ding'an, the Duke of Ningguo, and Zhang Zhiyuan, the former head of the cabinet, have already paid tribute to the government and returned to their hometown to raise them. Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhang Lingyang actually summoned Sun Dingan again.

"Any questions?" Seeing that Xiao Fuzi was puzzled, Zhang Lingyang squinted at Xiao Fuzi.

"Nope!" Xiao Fuzi hurriedly shook his head, "The slave is going to draft the decree!" ”

……

Time passed in a flash, and half a month later, Ningguo Gongsun Ding'an and Xining Houma Jinzhong entered Beijing successively.

After seeing the two of them in Chen'an Palace, Zhang Lingyang said: "I have an idea in my heart to discuss with the two Aiqing. ”

Sun Ding'an and Ma Jinzhong glanced at each other, clasped their fists and said, "But please give orders from Your Majesty!" ”

Zhang Lingyang picked up the previously drafted charter and handed it to the two, saying: "I want to reform the military system, this is the draft charter, the two Aiqing will take a look first to see if there are any omissions or inappropriate places." ”

"Reform the military system?" Sun Ding'an and the others were a little surprised in their hearts, and hurriedly took the charter and read it carefully.

Looking at it, Sun Dingan's brows furrowed slightly.

In the charter of military reform drafted by Zhang Lingyang, it was necessary to completely change the constitution of the army that was the first of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The system of health centers was abolished and replaced with the system of military districts.

In the reform of the military system, Zhang Lingyang wants to divide the whole country into seven military regions.

Among them, the five provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningbo, and Qinghai in the northwest are the Northwest Military Region, the four provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Tibet are the Southwest Military Region, the Liaodong Military Region in eastern Liaoning and Goryeo, the North China Military Region in Hebei, Shanxi, and Wara, the Central Plains Military Region in the four provinces of southern Henan, Shandong, Anhui, and Jingbei, the South China Military Region in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Fujian, and the Lingnan Military Region in Jingnan, Guangzhou, and Annan.

In addition, the imperial court will also set up a military cabinet and a special staff office in the imperial court. The Great Monday should have a military cabinet and a special staff office to organize the planning of military operations, which are directly accountable to the emperor and do not need to be approved by the cabinet.

In addition, Zhang Lingyang will also prepare to build three fleets in the Beihai, Donghai, and South China Seas in Bohai Bay, Jiangnan, and Guangdong, and their status will be on a par with the seven major military regions.

Of course, in addition to domestic, Zhang Lingyang also wants to set up an overseas bureau, which is specifically responsible for the conquered Borneo, Burma, Tianzhu and the overseas areas to be conquered in the future.

There are so many that the draft charter alone is dozens of pages long.

After Sun Ding'an and the others finished reading it, it was already an hour later.

After reading it, Sun Dingan frowned and said, "Your Majesty, there are indeed many advantages in this charter, but the disadvantages cannot be ignored!" ”

Ma Jinzhong also echoed: "Indeed, if the military reform is carried out in this way, the power of the head of the military region will be further increased, and if he has bad intentions, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the Great Zhou." ”

The biggest drawback of Zhang Lingyang's charter drafted with reference to the military system of later generations is that the heads of those military regions will have undeserved ambitions because of the increase in power.

You must know that in such a reform, the head of the military region will have at least three or four provinces in his hands. Once they have a disobedient heart, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Zhang Lingyang smiled disapprerovingly: "I have also considered this before, and I will have a countermeasure in the future, so the two Aiqing don't have to worry too much." ”

"I wonder what Your Majesty's response is?"

"Before the military reform, I wanted to establish the Great Zhou Royal Military Academy, which was specially used to train middle and lower-level generals in the army!"

"That's a great idea!" After thinking about it for a while, Sun Dingan had to admit that what Zhang Lingyang said was a good solution.

But any student who can enter the Great Zhou Royal Military Academy to study, in the future, he will be a protégé of the Son of Heaven. Once these people enrich the middle and lower ranks of the major military regions, they are afraid that no matter how ambitious the leaders of the military regions above are, they will not dare to rebel. Otherwise, the group of protégés of the Son of Heaven below would not let them go.

The reason why Zhang Lingyang conceived this idea was completely based on the practice of the Whampoa Military Academy in later generations.

Back then, Lao Jiang could rely on his students to hold power, but Zhang Lingyang couldn't do it.

What's more, Lao Jiang's era was a troubled era, and Zhang Lingyang was in a peaceful and prosperous era, so it was easy to absolutely control the power.

"As for the dean of the Great Zhou Royal Military Academy, I have an idea, two Aiqing will give me a staff officer!" Zhang Lingyang said, "I thought about it carefully, in the future, I will personally serve as the dean of the Great Zhou Royal Military Academy, and as for the vice president who handles the actual teaching tasks, Ning Guogong will serve as the dean." ”

"Old minister?" Sun Dingan didn't expect Zhang Lingyang to call his name, so he hurriedly shook his head and refused: "Your Majesty, the old minister is too old to succeed, Your Majesty should choose another meritocracy!" ”

The vice-president in charge of the practical affairs of the Royal Military Academy may seem like a rare and good job, but in reality it is not so wonderful.

Leaving aside the fact that this errand is done well or badly, if the vice president in charge of practical affairs has too much prestige among the students, he is afraid that it will arouse the emperor's suspicion.

So without thinking too much, Sun Dingan, who has been in the officialdom for many years, opened his mouth to refuse.

"Ning Guogong doesn't have to refuse, the matter is settled!" Where can Zhang Lingyang tolerate Sun Ding'an's refusal?

Just kidding, although Sun Dingan has a great prestige in the army, there is no one more suitable than him when he is old and counts the middle and high-level generals in the army.

If it were his cousin Sun Dingzong or Ma Jinzhong, Zhang Lingyang would be a little worried.

Even if Sun Dingan was more than ten years younger, Zhang Lingyang would not be so relieved to hand over the vice president of the practice of the Royal Military Academy to him.

Unable to allow Sun Dingzong to refuse, Zhang Lingyang said another thing, "The Military Cabinet, the General Staff Office, and the Overseas Bureau have been selected for the high-level generals of the seven major military regions and the three major fleets, and the two Aiqing have to sum up and submit a list of candidates to me as soon as possible." ”

"This list Your Majesty will discuss with Xining Hou and others after he goes down, but Your Majesty, what the old minister is worried about is that if this matter spreads, will the cabinet and the six ministries agree to this matter?" Sun Dingan said worriedly.

In fact, there is no need to think about this matter at all, Zhang Lingyang knows that the cabinet and the six ministries and nine secretaries will definitely not agree to this matter. After all, any one of these reforms touched their cheese......
