After listening to the rhetoric of these people, Emperor Chongzhen had a bottom in his heart, knowing that today's occasion was a ceremonial and procedural occasion, and these people were not prepared for this, and it was not the time to really discuss this issue. Ｘ

Now that I have brought up this issue, the purpose is only to follow this occasion, first give a briefing to these important ministers, remind them, and let them be mentally prepared, not to decide something today.

Therefore, after listening to Xu Guangqi's words, Emperor Chongzhen nodded, indicating that he agreed with their statement, and then turned his gaze to the other two people.

Zhang Weixian's face was sallow, his eye sockets were deep, and he seemed to be thinner than a few days ago.

Although this term of the British Duke is a bit ordinary and even mediocre, but he has played an extremely important role in the process of Emperor Chongzhen's succession to the throne, and now looking at his time is short, Emperor Chongzhen is a little unhappy, so he directly said to the new military department Shangshu Nan Juyi:

"Nan Aiqing is now the secretary of the Ministry of War, whether it is the military system or the military system, it is exactly what Nan Aiqing is doing! Whether you change it or not, how to change it, Nan Aiqing has to pay more attention! ”

Nan Juyi was a person who had served as the governor of Fujian and the governor of Zhili, and when he was the governor of Fujian, he also led the army of the Fujian Navy Division and the coastal guard to fight a battle with the Dutch who invaded the coastal area of Fujian, and won the victory.

For the collapse of the Ming Dynasty guard system, I have long seen it in my eyes, anxious in my heart, not long ago after completing the errand of building a town tower on the military capital mountain, I received the will to transfer to the military department, at this time I heard the emperor ask by name, and immediately said:

"Your Majesty! The law of the ancestors at the beginning of the march of the army and guard, set up the capital of the guard in the world, the upper is unified by the five armies and the governor's office, and the lower is raised by millions of acres of land. Therefore, the upper and lower internal and external military orders are unimpeded, like an arm!

"However, after 200 years, my Ming military system has grown from simple to complex, with many branches, and in addition to the provincial capital and the line capital, there is also a town guard chief military officer, and in addition to the guard soldiers, the battalion soldiers are recruited to fight in the township.

"Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, it is precisely because the battalions of the world's guards are insufficient and unusable, so they have set up a martial arts hall in Tongzhou, and the second town of the new army has been trained in Gyeonggi.

"Today, regardless of the private soldiers of Yunnan, Guizhou Tusi and Outer Domains Mongolia, it is only said that there are Beijing camps and guards in the land of Beijing, and there are superintendents and fubiaos in the localities, and there are capital guards, battalions and soldiers, and regiments to train the villagers.

"In the opinion of the ministers, the military system of the national dynasty, from the capital of the five armies in the north and south, the Jingwei Beijing Battalion, down to the provincial capital guards and battalions, is not enough to order unification, and it is not enough to revive the decline and rise if it is not changed!"

Nan Juyi finished saying these words sonorously, and raised his eyes to see Emperor Chongzhen nodding one after another, knowing the emperor's mind in his heart.

And the emperor's attitude, of course, also fell in the eyes of Li Guo, the first assistant of the cabinet, and others.

At this time, Zhang Weixian, the British public who had been depressed, finally responded, straightened his body on the brocade bench, and then bowed down again and said:

"Your Majesty! The military system is the foundation of the country, and it cannot be shaken easily!

"The Governor's Office of the Five Armies of the North and the South, as well as the Governor's Office, as well as the Guards of the Commandery of the Five Armies, have been repeatedly increased and decreased due to the attack for more than 200 years, and there have been various shortcomings and unusable situations, but they are still the cornerstone of the consolidation of our Emperor Ming!

"The old minister is not an unreasonable person! His Majesty has the great ambition of rejuvenating the emperor in his chest, how can the old minister not know it? It's just that since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty and nearly three hundred years, the five armies and six departments have accumulated shortcomings for a long time, and they need to be slowly adjusted. ”

"In the opinion of the ministers, the ancestors of the five armies led the ancestral system of the world's capital guards, Your Majesty can change it, but it cannot be changed in one fell swoop, especially not abolished in one fell swoop!

"The old minister has been sick since last year, and he has been thinking about the things before and after him, all of which are based on the Ming Dynasty! Today, Your Majesty asked about the military system, these are the words of the minister, please think twice! ”

After the British public Zhang Weixian finished speaking, a violent cough followed, and even so, he had to get up and kneel down to show solemnity.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't let him kneel down in such a situation, so he hurriedly got up, supported him, and said, "The British Duke doesn't have to be like this!" Sit down! Sit down! ”

Wang Chengen, who was standing in the hall, and the imperial attendants and military attachés beside the emperor hurriedly stepped forward to help him sit down.

Emperor Chongzhen returned to his seat, looked at everyone present, nodded, and said, "What Qing and the others said makes sense!" The military system is the foundation of the country, and even if the order is to be changed, it cannot be rushed!

"Today, I took the opportunity of Sun Aiqing's triumphant return from Saibei to mention this matter precisely to make Qing and others think deeply!

"Wait and relax! I also know that this matter is very important, and I must not act rashly unless I think it carefully!

"I can make it clear today that in the future, the five armies will still be the five armies, the capital will still be the capital division, and the guard will still be the guard, and the five military governors will lead the overall situation of the world's capital and guards, and the ancestral system of the five armies will not be changed!

"Whether it is the battalion soldiers of the towns on the nine sides, the soldiers of the Dusi Guard, or even the private soldiers of the Tusi in Yunnan, Guizhou and other places, and the private soldiers of the vassal in Mongolia and other places, they are all exempt from one official, no one cut, and no one salary!

However, the detailed tasks such as the subordinate of the branches and branches, the upper and lower parts of the branches, the command and command, and the conduct of the arms need to be adapted to the changes in the current situation.

"After all, if it's unbearable, what's the use of raising it! This is also my heartfelt words, and I think about it! ”

Emperor Chongzhen finished these words in one breath, and everyone here was puzzled, the emperor would say that he would change, and he would say that he would not change this or that, so what should he change?

However, no matter what doubts he had in his heart, the emperor had said it to this point, which was almost tantamount to accepting the opinions of most people, that is, even the British public Zhang Weixian, who had a relatively large opinion on the emperor's desire to reform the military system, had nothing to say.

Before the change of the military system has been decided, the emperor has already promised not to touch the interests of the heroes and nobles, and not to touch the capital guards that may cause turmoil, and it is inevitable that one official, one member will not be cut, and one salary will not be reduced, all of which is like this, what else is there to oppose?

However, the same question is, you're all like this, so what's there to change?!

The summons of this day ended in great joy, because Emperor Chongzhen rewarded the Minister of Military Aircraft Ningcheng Bosun Chengzong who returned from the town and the Minister of Military Aircraft Zhang Weixian, who had been sick for a long time, in addition to gold coins and silver coins, he also awarded the Minister of Military Aircraft Ningcheng Bosun Chengzong the honorary title of "Special Entry Ronglu Doctor", and awarded the British Minister Zhang Weixian the rank of "Right Pillar Country".

Regarding the reform of the military system, after Emperor Chongzhen raised this question, in addition to setting down a few major principles and dispelling the doubts of these people, he did not say much, but handed it over to these important ministers and asked them to go back and think about it for themselves.

After all, the emperor's attitude is already obvious, and the attitude of being willing to take care of the interests of all parties is also very sincere.

Moreover, the two ministers of military aircraft in Beijing received additional gifts, thinking of the emperor's attitude, which is clearly a kind of "bribery".

As for Emperor Chongzhen himself, of course, he already has a general idea, but whether it is suitable or not, whether it is mature or not, even he himself can't say.

Under such circumstances, if you want the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee to accept it, you must at least first let the cabinet and the military aircraft department, which are the old ministers whom they value more.

And letting them think deeply about this issue is the first step for Emperor Chongzhen.

Because in the future, even if they decide on the reform of the military system by themselves, they will need these people to carry it out.

If they are always questioning, criticizing, or even resisting this issue, then no matter how good your military reform plan is, I am afraid that it will not be implemented and will not be able to achieve the desired results.

Rather than encountering obstructions or doubts in the course of implementation, it is better to spread out the various problems that may be encountered or caused before starting the implementation, among which those that can be solved should be solved in advance, and those that can be relieved should be relieved in advance, and wait until the pros and cons are clear, and then seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

So
