Chapter 257: Reforming the Bureaucratic System (2)

Since the Tang Dynasty, Huaxia has implemented a nine-grade and eighteen-level official system! Chen Di changed it to a 24-class civil official system, which is simply unprecedented! It is even more unheard of for those low-level officials and officials to become "officials". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the other four people thought about it carefully, and the benefits of Chen Di's new civil service system outweighed the disadvantages! Therefore, the four of them agreed to this new official system.

Chen Di said: "Since they all agree, let the officials come up with a specific charter!" ”

Tang Shunzhi said: "I will immediately ask the official department to do this." ”

Chen Di said again: "The reform of the civil service system is finished, let me talk about the reform of the military attache system!" ”

Yu Dayou, a martial artist, became interested.

Chen Di said: "In the past, the rank of military attache was also nine grades and eighteenth ranks. From today onwards, the system of fifth-class and sixteenth-grade marshals, generals, colonels, lieutenants, and noncommissioned officers will be implemented.

Abolish the old military system before that. In terms of military strength, the Flying Tiger Army's three-three system is used as a model. Ten infantry men are one squad, three squads and one platoon, three platoons and one company, three companies and one battalion, three battalions and one regiment, three regiments and one brigade, and three brigades and one division. Divisions are the largest combat units.

Each level of combat unit shall have a system of chief and deputy military officers. For example, there are chief and deputy squad leaders in the squad, chief and deputy company commanders in the company, chief and deputy battalion commanders in the battalion, and so on.

Veterans of each squad are awarded the rank of corporal. The deputy squad leader is awarded the rank of sergeant, and the squad leader is awarded the rank of sergeant. The deputy platoon commander is awarded the rank of warrant officer, and the platoon commander is awarded the rank of second lieutenant. The deputy company commander is awarded the rank of lieutenant, and the company commander is awarded the rank of captain. The deputy battalion commander confers the rank of brigadier colonel, and the battalion commander confers the rank of major. The deputy regimental commander was awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel, and the regimental commander was awarded the rank of colonel. The deputy brigade commander was awarded the rank of brigadier general, and the brigade commander was awarded the rank of major general. The deputy division commander was also awarded the rank of major general, and the division commander was awarded the rank of lieutenant general. For military positions above the division commander, there are also the ranks of general, general, and marshal.

For example, Qi Jiguang is the commander of the first division of the Flying Tiger Army, and in the next step, I will let him concurrently serve as the chief of staff of the Flying Tiger Army and confer the rank of general. Marshal Yu was the marshal of the Flying Tiger Army and was awarded the rank of marshal. For example, if I promote Zhao Laogen, the commander of the firecracker battalion, to the commander of the regiment, and lead a thousand-person firecrackle regiment to garrison the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, I can grant him the rank of colonel. ”

Chen Di copied the military system of later generations to Daming. Although Tang Shunzhi and others listened to the book of heaven, they all agreed. Because they know that the new military system of Zhenguo Gong must be beneficial to the improvement of the Ming Dynasty's military strength!

Yu Dayou asked: "Then how does Old Tang count as the secretary of the military department?" Is it a civilian official or a military general? ”

Chen Di said: "In the future, the secretary of the military department will only be filled by civilian officials!" Mr. Tang is naturally a first-class civil official! ”

Yu Dayou asked again: "What about you, Zhenguogong?" What rank is awarded? ”

Chen Di smiled: "Well, I won't be awarded any military rank!" Just be a town prince! In the future, the Metropolitan Governor's Office will also be abolished! I'm just an idle duke! ”

Tang Shunzhi and the other four laughed. They understood that even if Chen Di did not have any position, the entire imperial court would still be in his hands. They obeyed Chen Di not because of his thunderous methods, but because Chen Di had the ability to lead the Ming Dynasty to prosperity!

Chen Di said: "After talking about reforming the civil and military official system, the third article is to reform the six-ministry system!" I propose that in addition to the six ministries, the Ministry of Supervision and the Ministry of Intelligence should be added. The Ministry of Intelligence, to put it bluntly, is the previous Jinyi Guard. The secretary of the Ministry of Intelligence is a military position, with the rank of general, which is held by Lu Bing. As for the Ministry of Supervision, as we said earlier, it is necessary to raise the level of officials. At the same time as raising their salaries, we must strictly investigate their corruption! To put it bluntly, the Ministry of Supervision is the former Metropolitan Procuratorate! The secretary of the Ministry of Supervision, served by Hai Rui! ”

Jiang Guang said: "Zhen Guogong, other things are all agreed by his subordinates." Only let Hai Jui serve as the Minister of Supervision, and let him enter the cabinet. Hai Rui has a lot of complaints about Zhen Guogong on weekdays! ”

Chen Di said: "I know he thinks I am Cao Cao, who usurped power!" But Hai Rui is the first Qing official in this dynasty, upright and honest. Do things without favoritism. He served as the Minister of Supervision, and it is very appropriate to fight corruption for the imperial court! ”

Chen Di said: "The original six departments, plus the Ministry of Supervision and the Ministry of Intelligence, are called eight first-level departments. The first-level department consists of the second-level department. For example, the Ministry of Rites will have two secondary departments in the future: the Examination Department and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Examination Department is in charge of the World Examination. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible for future foreign affairs with foreign countries. The Minister of the Second Division is a Civil Officer of the Second Class. I think it is quite appropriate for Hu Yuanchun, the former emperor and head of Xingming Academy, to be the head of this examination department. The candidate for the Minister of Foreign Affairs... It is served by Yang Zhongzheng, the former director of the Ministry of Rites and an outstanding student who graduated from Xingming Academy. ”

Tang Shunzhi said: "I know Yang Zhongzheng, who is talented and good at debate. However, his qualifications seem to be 。。。。。 It's always too young. The foreign minister you are talking about is actually equivalent to the original Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites. Holding a high position at such a young age, can he? ”

Chen Di said: "Before the Northern Expedition, Yang Zhongzheng sent an envoy to Tatars, and fought against the enemy chieftain, brave and strategic!" If you talk about age, this father is only sixteen this year. ”

Tang Shunzhi knew that he was speechless. He said: "Zhen Guogong misunderstood. I didn't mean that. ”

Chen Di smiled: "It's so decided, Yang Zhongzheng is the foreign minister under the Ministry of Rites!" ”

The reason why Chen Di promoted Yang Zhongzheng, a student who graduated from Xingming Academy, was to let those talents of Xingming Academy enter the power center of the empire as soon as possible and replace those old bureaucrats!

Chen Di also said to Zhang Juzheng: "In the future, your household department will have a tax department, a ministry of commerce, and a banking department. The Ministry of Taxation is in charge of the world's taxes, the Ministry of Commerce is in charge of Daming's commercial affairs, and the Banking Department is in charge of Daming and the world's private banks. Bank minister, I think it will be Long Zixing! ”

As soon as Jiang Guang heard that Chen Di wanted Long Zixing to be the minister of the bank, he hurriedly said: "Zhen Guogong, you don't know, Long Zixing is your person, but behind his back is Yan Song's protΓ©gΓ©!" He had revealed a lot of your confidential matters to Yan Song before! ”

Chen Di said: "The selection of officials is the only move!" Who does it matter who he used to be? As long as you are a member of the imperial court now! ”

Tang Shunzhi interjected: "As for the titles of the heads of the ministries. According to the meaning of Zhenguo Gong, the head of the eight first-level departments is called Shangshu. The second-level head of the ministry under the first level is called the minister, right? ”

Chen Di nodded: "Yes." The eight first-level ministers will be called the Eight Great Shangshu in the future. Cabinet members can be one of the Eight Great Secretaries, and at the same time, the Eight Great Scholars who are not cabinet members will have to attend cabinet meetings as observers in the future! ”

Chen Di also listed the second-level departments under each first-level department one by one. Under the eight first-level departments, there are 20 second-level departments. In this way, the five-member cabinet, the eight major scholars, and the twenty ministers constitute the new power center of the Ming Dynasty!

Tang Shunzhi compiled these terms of Chen Di's new policy into articles and issued an edict to the world. At the same time, the cabinet issued a decree in the name of Emperor Jiajing to make Chen Di the Duke of Zhenguo.

When the hundreds of officials in the capital saw the provisions of the new policy, some were puzzled, some were puzzled, and some applauded. However, no one dared to jump out against the New Deal! Because they know that the driving force behind the new deal is Chen Di, the prince of Zhenguo who holds the Flying Tiger Army! Whoever dares to be the enemy of Zhenguo Gong will definitely end up dead without a place to be buried!
