The affairs of the court, which had accumulated for many days, were handled in one day, and in particular, the appointment and dismissal of so many important ministers in one go, although tiring, initially showed the high efficiency of the new mechanism. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The courtiers were also amazed, if the future government and politics were handled at this speed, then the major affairs in the world would be much easier to handle, at least it would not be delayed because of the emperor.

Many people no longer blindly question and oppose the emperor's recent unconventional practices, such as the lack of six cabinet ministers and the emperor's refusal to add them, such as the addition of a military aircraft department outside the cabinet, and so on.

Previously, many ministers wrote to talk about the pros and cons, and advised the emperor to be cautious, not to easily violate the ancestral system, change course or anything, but now that the government is not corrupted, but is developing in a good direction, it is not good to say anything more.

At the very least, in the eyes of the subjects of the world who care about the government, the current Chongzhen Emperor is much better than Emperor Naizu Wanli, Emperor Taichang, and his brother Emperor Tianqi.

The next morning, there was no need to go to the morning court, and after having breakfast with the queen Zhou and the two concubines in Kunning Palace, Zhu Daming specially took Wang Chengen, Fang Zhenghua, Gao Shiming, Gong Yonggu and others to the military aircraft of Wuying Palace.

Although the weather is very cold now, the sun is shining and the air is fresh today.

In his previous life, of course, he had been to the Forbidden City, but the Forbidden City at that time, after generations of random transformation by the Manchu emperors, was far less symmetrical and rigorous than it was in the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the air is naturally not as clean and clear as the current time and space, and now there is no thick and mellow haze like the capital in later generations, so walking in the antique red-walled compound, Zhu Daming feels very good, and he does not feel the gloom and depression of the legend in the palace at all.

When Zhu Daming arrived at the Military Aircraft Department of Wuying Palace, Sun Chengzong and Zhang Weixian, the ministers of military aircraft, as well as the few left and right staff officers of the Military Aircraft Department, also came.

The Military Aircraft Department is now hastily established, and whatever organization is needed, it will set up whatever organization is needed, and it has not yet formed a set of fixed rules and regulations, and has set up several divisions with military prefixes, all of which are Yang Yingqian, Li Bingcheng, Mao Yuanyi, Sun Yuanhua and others.

And these people are usually very busy, most of them are there when there is something going on in the military aircraft department, and they are busy when the military aircraft department is fine.

The military aircraft department is above the various departments, learning the rules and regulations of the imperial court and government agencies, and setting up several levels of positions, under the minister of military aircraft, in turn, the left and right to join the army, the left and right senators, the left and right staff officers and a number of military aircraft personnel. Left and right join the army, the full name is naturally the left and right staff military, the left and right staff is the left and right staff military, and the left and right staff officers are of course the left and right staff officers.

These positions are higher than those of the various divisions of the Military Aircraft Department, most of them are of course vacant at this time, and now there are a limited number of people, that is, the old deployment brought by Sun Chengzong, who has both the positions of the six departments, and the Lang Zhong of the various divisions of the Military Aircraft Department, and some of them also serve as senators and staff officers, which is really too much part-time, but now there are not many reassuring talents available in Zhu Daming's hands, so they can only be vacant first, and wait for the future.

When everyone in the military aircraft department saw the emperor coming, they all hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

Zhu Daming came to the military aircraft department today mainly to make arrangements for recruiting displaced people to train troops in Tuntian.

After watching everyone salute at the Military Aircraft Department, Zhu Daming said: "I came to Wuying Hall today to discuss with the Military Aircraft Department about the training in Tuntian.

"Not long ago, I discussed with Sun Aiqing that now that the armaments of the Nine Sides and the Beijing Camp are in ruins, once there is something in the world, they will not be able to take on the heavy responsibility at all. However, Jiubian and Jingying have accumulated disadvantages for a long time, and there are many involved, and there is no perfect plan to move lightly.

"All we can do now is to verify the number of soldiers and reduce the burden on the court. Since the soldiers of the Nine Sides and the Beijing Battalion cannot be used, and it is inconvenient to move, then I have to think of another countermeasure. My idea is to recruit people to reclaim and train a new army. ”

After speaking, he looked at everyone present, and Zhu Daming continued: "Today, the Military Aircraft Department will discuss a feasible strategy, and Sun Aiqing and Zhang Aiqing will jointly perform it, report it to me for approval, and implement it as soon as possible. ”

After saying this, he quietly looked at everyone.

Sun Chengzong was a scholar of Wuyingdian University and the minister of military aircraft, so he was the first to say: "What Your Majesty said, the ministers all agree. If there is chaos today, foreign criminals are peeping, and the world's guard posts, the towns on the nine borders, and the armaments of the Beijing camp have been abandoned for a long time, and it is not enough to defend the country and security society without training the new army.

"Since the establishment of the Military Aircraft Department, the minister has been in charge of the military aircraft and has been considering countermeasures. The minister thought that according to the material resources of the current imperial court, if he wanted to train the new army, he must reclaim the land. Now it is worrying, although there are many wastelands in the world, but there are many owners, even if they recruit to reclaim the land for the benefit of the country and the people, it is not easy to forcibly occupy the lord's land, and the ministers have always been worried. ”

Zhang Weixian also bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, what Elder Sun Ge said is reasonable. In addition, recruiting people to reclaim land and organize and train new armies is not enough, but only wasteland, and a large amount of money, food and materials are required. Nowadays, it is easy to recruit displaced people, but when they are called, they must have food, shelter, and clothing, and all of this requires a large amount of silver. Now that Taicang lacks silver, the government and the opposition know that this is a difficult problem. ”

Zhu Daming listened to the words of the two military ministers, thought about it, and said to Mao Yuanyi, Sun Yuanhua and the others who were waiting: "Do you have any questions or suggestions?" Mao Yuanyi, you say it first. ”

Mao Yuanyi then came out and said: "The minister thinks that land, money and food are important, but what is more important is to select and appoint talents, as the so-called training of soldiers must first train generals, if there is no group of faithful, wise and brave generals, even if there is more money and food, it will not be able to train a strong army."

"Your Majesty is invited to start martial arts first, select and train generals, use Qi Shuai's book, teach the art of war formation, and then use it in the new army.

When Zhu Daming heard this, in addition to the problems of land, money and food, there were also problems of talent and officer corps, so he nodded at Mao Yuanyi and said, "What you said is very reasonable. Without land, it is impossible to recruit people to reclaim land, and without money and food, it is even more difficult to move an inch, and without a group of available generals and officers, it will be equally difficult for this new army to succeed. ”

After a little hesitation, he said to Sun Yuanhua again: "Sun Yuanhua, tell me what you think." ”

Sun Yuanhua stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, if you do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. When the minister served in Liaodong, he saw that the artillery was sharp, and a cannon could withstand hundreds of elite soldiers. The minister suggested that if you train a new army, please cast artillery, and then use muskets and guns to supplement it, and train a strong army, there is no problem. ”

After listening to Sun Yuanhua, Zhu Daming nodded and said to Yang Yingqian: "What do you think?" ”

Yang Yingqian stepped forward and said: "Recruit displaced people and organize reclamation, and the ministers are willing to deserve it." ”

After listening to these people, Zhu Daming was silent until he sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "What you Aiqing said makes sense. I've been thinking about this for a long time, and it's imperative. However, in order to ensure that the deeds will be carried out, land, money and food, generals, and ordnance are all indispensable. Recruiting people to Tuntian, where does the field come from? I've already thought about it. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Daming looked at everyone present, and then said; "If there are not enough barren mountains and wasteland, we will take the Wei Dang Grange that was confiscated this time, and the Gyeonggi Huangzhuang that I have confiscated this time to reclaim it." As soon as he said this, the room was shocked.

What was shocked was not that he took out the land grange under the name of the Wei family all over Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, but that the emperor was willing to take out even the hundreds of thousands of acres of imperial villages around Gyeonggi, which shows the emperor's determination to recruit people and train soldiers.

In the Ming Dynasty, the area of Beizhili was very large, including the current Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and western Shandong, northern Henan and other regions, according to the standard of arable land today, the barren mountains and mountains that could be cultivated at that time were everywhere, but there were no potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn used for cultivation in later generations, and they could not be used for the time being.

In addition, the confiscation of the eunuch property, the confiscation of nearly 200,000 hectares of farmland, most of which are connected into patches, and the 100,000 hectares of farmland belonging to Emperor Chongzhen's own family, even if the barren mountains and mountains that can be reclaimed are not suitable for cultivation at present, the land that can be used for reclamation has suddenly reached more than 300,000 hectares.

The emperor was so willing to invest, and everyone in the Military Aircraft Department was also shocked.
