Liu Jiang was originally a little self-conscious, believing that he had the ability to command the water division and the establishment of the army. The Ming people will be able to compare with him, and there will be no more than three or five of them.

What's more, he's old enough. From following the battle of Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, against the Gray Mountain and the Black Pine Forest, he has become famous. Later, during the period of the emperor's palace, he followed his command.

However, Li Liang came up with a set of strategies that are said to come from the Taisun, but from an angle that he never imagined, he planned in detail the various departments of the navy and the connection and coordination between each link.

Seeing this strategy, he thought that the strategy he had racked his brains to write could already be burned.

Without the qualifications to be self-conscious, Liu Jiang's heart became troubled again. Since Taisun already has such a detailed strategy, what else can he do? In what ways can you play your part?

Coming out of the military headquarters, Liu Jiang couldn't help but say tentatively: "Young Eunuch Li, Jiang Guan's strategy is several points higher than Jiang Zhi's work. If we follow this strategy, our Daming Naval Division, not the navy, will become the first navy in the world, and no one can stop it. ”

Li Liang also said a little complacently at this time: "Your Highness is born to know, naturally beyond our reach. However, His Royal Highness often said that since the Ming Dynasty, the country has become strong, but the system has not kept up with the national strength of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, a new system needs to be established in order to manage the Ming Dynasty more effectively. However, no matter how good the system is, it also needs competent people to implement it. The world is so big, and His Royal Highness Taisun alone can't manage it, so this is also an opportunity for Liu Dudu. ”

Liu Jiang immediately understood, clenched his fists and said, "Jiang is willing to be a pawn for His Royal Highness." ”

Li Liang said with satisfaction: "When I see His Highness later, no matter what the governor has, you can speak freely." His Highness never sinners with words, as long as the governor has a good chest, His Highness will reuse it. ”

deliberately didn't give Liu Jiang enough time, let Liu Jiang mess up, and then give some pointers, and then he could naturally get Liu Jiang's gratitude.

Although Li Liang is not highly talented, he can't help his grandson in other aspects, but he has three flavors in dealing with people and winning people's hearts.

Because of this, Zhu Zhanji is now more comfortable using him, although Jin Kuo is now making a comeback. But although Jin Kuo is powerful and more inclined to do things, these trivial affairs around Zhu Zhanji are still the most convenient for Li Liang.

From the Chengtian Gate into the end of the gate, the noon gate, and from the left Shun door into the Wenhua Palace, bypassing the Wenhua Palace, came to the Xingqing Palace.

Along the way, Li Liang took out the Taisun waist card unimpeded, whether it was Jinyiwei or other internal supervisors, there was no second word.

Seeing this scene, Liu Jiang can also know the prestige of Taisun in the palace, whether it is the internal eunuch, or Jinyiwei and others, they have already regarded Taisun as the future master of this palace.

The Wenhua Palace is the East Palace, but in terms of regulation, it is far smaller than the Xingqing Palace.

Especially today, there is no princess in the saint now, and the Yongfu Palace next to Xingqing Palace and Yongshou Palace also belong to the same palace as Xingqing Palace, which makes the regulation of Xingqing Palace more huge, and it is several times larger than Wenhua Palace.

From this alone, we can see the importance that the Holy Lord attaches to this grandson today.

Although the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. But there is the emperor to take care of the grandson, and there are no competing brothers below, and there is no one who can compete for this throne.

If he helped Taisun control the navy, Taisun would have another sharp blade in his hand, and he would have no opponent.

Suddenly, Liu Jiang understood. Achievements are still secondary, and more importantly, to turn the navy into Taisun's navy, this is where his greatest value lies.

I have to say that Li Liang's attitude made Liu Jiang misunderstand what Zhu Zhanji meant.

As far as Zhu Zhanji is concerned, he has never regarded anyone as an opponent, and the only one who can be his opponent is the solidified class.

Looking for Liu Jiang, he actually wanted Liu Jiang to make some achievements.

Any system needs an excellent executor, otherwise no matter how good the system is, it may eventually become a bad system because of the execution.

Just like Wang Anshi in the Song Dynasty, his original intentions were absolutely good, but because of the lack of execution, good policies eventually became laws that harm the people.

got the news from the chamberlain, Zhu Zhanji did not greet Liu Jiang in person, and still sat in his position, until Liu Jiang entered the door, he stood up from behind the desk. Without waiting for Liu Jiang to salute, he smiled and said: "I am looking forward to it day and night, and finally waited for Liu Dudu to enter Beijing." Come, sit. I heard that Liu Dudu was addicted to alcohol, and he also accompanied Liu Dudu to drink three glasses today. ”

was disrupted by Zhu Zhanji, Liu Jiang stood a little helpless for a moment, and then reacted, hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, and then was placed on a chair in front of the desk by a small eunuch.

This is not the palace of the Ming Dynasty today, but a bit like the later generations of entertaining guests in the office. Sitting facing the grandson made Liu Jiang a little restrained.

Zhu Zhanji was the first to say with a smile: "Liu Dudu has performed his duties in Liaodong, and he does not take the bitter cold of Liaodong as a crime, builds water conservancy, encloses land for farming, and strengthens coastal defense, which is really a model for generals." Lonely heard that the governor was familiar with the art of war, good at water warfare, and strict in governing the army, so he specially summoned the governor back to Beijing to help Gu form a navy, and hoped that the governor would not hesitate to teach. ”

Liu Jiang stood up again in a panic, clasped his fists and said: "Jiang Yijie martial arts, loved by His Royal Highness, has been since he died with all his might." ”

"Lone doesn't want you to die, as long as you work hard, it's enough. Let's take a look at this map of the world first......"

The first time I saw the globe, the shock of anyone was the same. Although after hundreds of years of subtlety, the world has some doubts about the round sky, but it is still difficult to get most people to accept that they are just living on a big ball.

Liu Jiang stood in front of the huge globe, looking at the map of Liaodong and Daming, unable to speak for a long time.

Zhu Zhanji asked, "How do you feel when you see this map?" ”

"The world is gathered in one ball, and the minister doesn't dare to think about it. However, Liaodong is far away from North Korea, and Dongying is not close at hand, and it is already far away from the end of the world, so other places, aren't they farther away from my Daming? If I raise troops to fight in the Ming Dynasty, it will take three or five years to go! ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "This is the strategy for the future, now, what I have to do is to reorganize the armament, strengthen the troops, and just wait for the time to be ripe, and the horse will step on the world." Lone today let the Governor look at this map, just to want the Governor to have the world in mind, and we are now reorganizing the Navy Division, the main purpose is to make the Ming Fleet all over the world in the future. ”

Liu Jiang bowed his head and said, "I am willing to serve His Highness!" ”

Guiding Liu Jiang back to his seat, Zhu Zhanji said again: "The strategy for the reorganization of the navy, Major Eunuch Li has already shown you, right?" ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness is a pedantic celestial, and his strategies are all-encompassing, and Jiang can't reach them. But the minister is willing to be a pawn for His Highness and assist His Highness in rectifying the Daming Water Division. ”

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "The generals of the water division have been delayed in Yingtianfu for a long time, just waiting for the governor to come. Therefore, the governor was in a hurry, and it was necessary to familiarize himself with this strategy within three days, and then improve it, and then teach the generals to adapt to the new management system. ”

Liu Jiang nodded and asked, "May I ask Your Highness, what is the system?" ”

"To put it simply, it is a system that is composed of departments with different functions to form an effective management strategy and form a whole. There is a son of heaven in the Ming Dynasty, there are courtiers, outside the soldiers, inside the ministers, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, this is a big system. Eating with the mouth, seeing with the eyes, listening with the ear, thinking with the heart, holding with the hands, and walking with the feet, this is also a system.

Accurate to the navy, the military system, fleet establishment, combat grouping, strategic planning, budgeting, policies and decrees, officer promotion, and logistics management are all different departments, forming a set of effective management levels, which is also a system. ”

"That's the law?"

Zhu Zhanji thought for a while, nodded and said: "Although this statement is like a blind man touching an elephant, it can't be generalized, but it also has this meaning. It is necessary to unite the navy from top to bottom, and the higher authorities must follow the orders, so the law is very important. But forming an effective management system can solve the problem beyond just complying with the law. The most important thing in an army is how to bring into play the combat effectiveness of the army. ”

Hearing Zhu Zhanji say this, Liu Jiang's last trace of worry was gone. Because since ancient times, laymen have led insiders, and the only thing they value most is obedience.

In order to make the soldiers obey, they themselves broke the rules and disrupted the management of the army. Although the people who are replaced will be more obedient, the combat effectiveness of the army has plummeted.

As a veteran, Liu Jiang is most worried about the fact that Taisun will formulate some systems that do not conform to reality in order to take power, but now, he can clearly see this, and Liu Jiang is no longer worried.

But within three days, to figure out this strategy and combine this strategy with the actual situation, Liu Jiang also felt tremendous pressure.

Because there are still many places in this strategy that he has not understood.

Zhu Zhanji's naval strategy draws heavily on the US Navy's organizational framework. This is because the current Ming Dynasty, like the United States in later generations, implements a typical military and political system, with a system of separating military orders, and its administrative management and operational command systems are relatively independent.

So it's not that the American navy is better than Britain and France, but it's more suitable for the current Ming Dynasty.

In Zhu Zhanji's planning, the military department is the highest administrative leadership body, and has great personnel and financial powers.

In the initial stage, the naval command will have more powers, and can formulate strategic planning, operational plans, policies and decrees, daily training, and logistics management.

However, this is because Zhu Zhanji is in power in the navy today, and if he is not in the leadership of the navy, some powers will still have to be transferred to the military department, forming an effective check on the naval command.

Therefore, some of today's institutional settings, institutional functions, and powers are still somewhat confused.

This is because these powers are in the personal hands of Zhu Zhanji, not the naval command.
