In the second year of the hunt, in May.

Summer is quietly coming, and the Hua Dynasty, which has been quiet for more than half a year, has once again reported good news.

First, Yao Qisheng built a Sri Lankan naval garrison in the south, and then sailed westward and occupied several large cities along the Egyptian coast.

Then the Jingbei Army and the Sichuan soldiers together invaded Tsarist Russia and attacked the Tsarist Russian East Road Expeditionary Force.

These things were accomplished almost at the same time, and the strategists of Jinling were not shocked.

Although these two wars have just ended, the deduction of their results has been staged countless times in Jinling Purple City.

No matter how strong the country is, the use of troops abroad is a great event, and the so-called "soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored." ”

Hou Xuanyan held two war reports, and secretly calculated in his heart that if he continued to play according to this method, it would be equivalent to starting a war with Tsarist Russia and Ottoman Turkey at the same time.

Neither of these countries is considered a small country, and the battlefield is on their own soil, which is more challenging than bullying the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain thousands of miles away.

And there is also a common feature, that is, they all open the door to the European continent, although one is from the northernmost and the other is from the southernmost.

Maybe the next war will be the battle between Europe and Asia, and Hou Xuanyan felt a little excitement in his heart.

is always majestic on his own one-third of an acre, and after a long time, he can't even find a sense of achievement.

Chen Ming met the emperor in a daze with the battle report in his hand, and originally wanted to ask for the replacement of additional troops, but he didn't want to interrupt His Majesty's contemplation, so he had to retreat silently.

After pondering for a while, Hou Xuanyan said to the most important ministers of the court: "The next war in the northwest and the South China Sea continues, and the court and the central government will inevitably need to deal with a lot of military affairs. ”

The courtiers below gasped, His Majesty's words were brief, but the content was very important and intriguing.

Originally, the system of scholars and six ministries had already allowed the imperial power to override all, and once this military cabinet was established, the emperor held the sole command of the army.

Hou Xuanyan glanced around and found that no one came out to raise objections, so he nodded secretly.

This idea of his was also learned from the military aircraft department of the later Tartar Emperor Yongzheng, and he was able to make decisions with one hand. The Military Aircraft Department was the central authority of the Qing Dynasty, which was established in the seventh year of Yongzheng due to the use of troops in the northwest.

Yongzheng thought that the cabinet was outside the Taihe Gate, and he was afraid of leaking secrets, so he began to set up a military machine room in the Longzong Gate, and selected the confidential people in the cabinet to be on duty to write it, so as to deal with urgent military affairs and assist the emperor in handling government affairs. In the tenth year of Yongzheng, it was renamed "Handling the Military Aircraft Department".

There are military aircraft ministers, military aircraft Zhang Jing, etc., all of which are part-time. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong, the Military Aircraft Department was re-established and became the central authority of the Qing Dynasty until the end of the Qing Dynasty.

The Military Aircraft Department has overseen the military and political powers, and has become the highest state organ in power. More importantly, it was completely under the direct control of the emperor, equivalent to the emperor's private secretariat. At the same time, the Military Aircraft Department is the highest organ of the ruling state in terms of power, and has always been in the status of a provisional institution in form. This also invisibly elevated the status of the emperor, so that he could be the only one.

The next battle to be fought has exceeded the understanding of the military generals of this era, but Hou Xuanyan is different. He seems to have half of God's perspective, and there are many things that he can't explain to his courtiers, so he might as well do it himself.

Hou Xuanyan's prestige and prestige are many times higher than that of Yongzheng in later generations, and the idea he proposed is naturally less resistant.

Over the years, some of His Majesty's appalling policies have all achieved miraculous results. While the national strength is strong, it also allows everyone to see the vision of His Majesty the Emperor, and some worship and even superstitious emotions appear among the ministers.

Ma Shiying got up and asked, "Your Majesty, is the Military Affairs Pavilion also a cabinet?" How is the grade graded? ”

If it is the cabinet, then it is the university scholars who are selected and transferred, and the ears of the ministers are all pricked up.

In the past, there were only three scholars, and the rules were strict, and although the threshold was relaxed, it was not something that ordinary officials could touch.

Now that there is a military cabinet, do you have a chance....

Hou Xuanyan's next words completely shattered everyone's dreams.

"There are no permanent officials in the military affairs cabinet, who are temporarily selected by me to work in the cabinet during the war, and return to the original yamen after the war."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts became warm and cold again. After a long time, it was a group of temporary workers, and there was no benefit in just working.

Hou Xuanyan didn't give them a chance to think, and had already begun to name them: "Jiang Jianxun, Gong Zifang, Zhao Yuanhua, and Ma Lingyao, the four of you will report to Xinuan Pavilion tomorrow, and let Jinling Lecture Wutang send fifty teenagers to work in the pavilion." Since then, Xinuan Pavilion has been renamed Military Affairs Pavilion, Xiao Lizi, you find the palace people to change the plaque as soon as possible. ”

"Obey."

"The slave obeys."

Among the people named, Zhao Yuanhua was confused, he was the secretary of the Criminal Department, the head of the Hidden Elephant Battalion, he didn't know what was the use of starting a war, did he go to judge the case.

Hou Xuanyan had already arranged that the war would bring large tracts of land, which were not clean, and there were countless populations on them.

How to manage these people, it is natural to use the Criminal Department, Hualu, and spies.

In general, it is just a combination of grace and power, and the Han people are still benevolent and benevolent at this point.

Hou Xuanyan has conquered so much territory, except for those who have hatred, he has never heard of large-scale massacres.

The culture of the Han people is tolerant, just like Mencius said, if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world. This is said to be the same for the individual, extended to the home and the country.

When we were strong, we stood on top of the world for thousands of years, opening our arms to the small nations around us to learn tribute, instead of fighting, conquering, and killing everywhere like some short-lived empires.

If the word benevolence is spoken, only the Han people can be called it, or only the culture of the Han people and other ethnic groups integrated into the Han people in the Chinese Dynasty can be worthy of this name.

When Hou Xuanyan was complacent in the temple, he never imagined that Yao Qisheng, who was orthodox in China, was staging a scene of slaughter in India, thousands of miles away.

After the occupation of Sri Lanka, Yao Qisheng inevitably crossed paths with the Indian mainland, and the British East India Company, which had already sent forces to infiltrate India, became more powerful because of the withdrawal of the Dutch.

The victory of the East India Company over the Portuguese in 1612 gave them the favor of the Mughal Emperor Jahangir, the ruler of seventy percent of the Indian subcontinent.

The British rushed to confess their allies in the Far East, and who knew that a disaster would be caused and countless people would die.
