Chapter 567: The Army (3) Separation of Powers

In this case, the original French Louisiana colony, later renamed Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebragascar, and other northern regions, all established Ming settlements. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

This has created a serious ethnic conflict with the American immigrants who moved westward. The rush and weapon fights between the two sides have also shown a sharp increase.

In the end, it is not a good citizen, and there is a secret permission from the Ming official. Therefore, these immigration expansion groups composed of prisoners are completely ruthless.

In contrast, the pioneering, adventurous immigrants of the United States are like docile little sheep. So in their hands, American immigrants are only allowed to be slaughtered at will.

After all, the Ming Dynasty's immigration pioneer group has received a certain amount of military training. Weapons are also well supplied. When competing with American immigrants for living space, they are also very confident.

Although this has made the United States protest against the Ming Dynasty. But because of the expansion of the United States in Louisiana, it is a shady thing. So so far, too, it has been limited to verbal criticism.

Officially, the two countries still maintain normal diplomatic relations.

But that's for another time!

At present, in order to facilitate management, the combat capability of the military region is enhanced. In each military region, the Ming Dynasty set up a commander of the military region. According to the regulations, the commander of the military region is the supreme commander of the military region. In terms of rank, it belongs to the deputy ministerial level!

However, it is responsible for all military affairs within the military region.

In peacetime, basic military affairs, such as large-scale changes of guards, military expansion, and promotion, between military regions and military regions, must obey the instructions of the Ministry of National Defense.

And in wartime, it is possible to fight against hostile forces only with the authorization of the president.

Although in terms of rank, the rank of the commander of the military region is higher than that of the provincial governor.

However, the structure and administrative provinces of the military regions do not belong to each other and do not interfere with each other. Therefore, there is no distinction between provincial governors and commanders of military regions in terms of authority and authority. This is similar to the Qing governor's focus on military affairs and the governor's focus on local government affairs.

It's just that between the commander of the military region and the provincial governor, the Ming Dynasty divided military affairs and government affairs more carefully.

Compared with before the implementation of the military reform, the powers of the provincial governors have been greatly reduced.

Because the provincial governor was originally responsible for the military and political affairs of the province. There is only justice, not controlled by it. At present, except for the local police force that maintains law and order, the provincial governor cannot command any other garrison at all.

This will play an extremely positive role in safeguarding territorial integrity, preventing local separatism, strengthening the centralization of power, and ensuring long-term peace and stability.

In order to better clarify the powers of the provincial governor, the principle of separation of powers is reflected. The Ming Dynasty also made certain changes to the judicial power of various localities.

For example, the establishment of the Supreme Judicial Procuratorate has evolved according to the geographical scope of each military region. In terms of names, they are Nanyang Supreme Procuratorate, Xiazhou Supreme Procuratorate, Ocean Supreme Procuratorate, and North American Supreme Procuratorate.

Except for a few provinces and cities with some changes, the general jurisdiction area is no different from that of the military.

Its supreme officer is the Chancellor. The rank is the same as that of the commander of the military district, which belongs to the rank of deputy minister. The judiciary of the administrative provinces in the region is under the jurisdiction of the Chancellor. All criminal cases, civil disputes, and political conduct inspections are also adjudicated by the Supreme Judicial Prosecutor's Office.

This has a very similar function to the military staff offices set up by the four major military regions.

Because the military staff office is equivalent to the think tank of the commander of the military district. In fact, many military affairs are handled by their division of labor. In times of war, it was transformed into the command center of the military district.

This will be of great benefit to the combat capability and emergency response of the troops.

If we have to use their importance to distinguish the four major military regions, then the Xiazhou Military Region is undoubtedly the first.

After all, the jurisdiction area of the Xiazhou Military Region is basically the mainland of the Ming Dynasty. Many important industrial systems are also concentrated here. Not to mention the capital Mingjing City, which is within the Xiazhou region.

Therefore, the first place in the Xiazhou Military Region is well deserved.

Such a critical place naturally has to be guarded by people who are capable and loyal enough to Daming. Therefore, Tang Tianbo, the former commander of the White Tiger Group Army, became the first commander of the Xiazhou Military Region.

It was also the last Mingjing coup d'état, and his position was firm enough. It also played an invaluable role in quelling rebellions and mutinies. Therefore, in order to show his reward, Yang Chong and all the ministers in the cabinet unanimously agreed that he should be the commander of this military region with the heaviest weight.

The original official rank has also been promoted.

The White Tiger Group Army and the Qinglong Group Army, the two units stationed in the Xiazhou Military Region, also obeyed his command.

It is only in order to prevent the army from having a situation of self-respect for its troops, and the Ministry of Defense has been changed to be responsible for the logistical supply of the military region. The Ministry of National Defense, which had been delegated to the Ministry of Defense, has finally grasped the lifeblood of the army. The right to speak has also been maintained to a certain extent.

After Xiazhou, the second place is the Nanyang Military Region.

In addition to the garrisons of various administrative provinces, its jurisdiction also includes the leased cities of Burma, Siam, Vietnam, Mysore and other countries. As the main area of the Ming Dynasty's outward expansion, the possibility of war breaking out in the Nanyang Military Region has always been 100 percent.

So militarily, the importance of the Nanyang Military Region is even higher than that of the Xiazhou Military Region.

It is for this reason that the only two naval corps of the Ming Dynasty are basically stationed in the Nanyang Military Region. Less than 20,000 troops were sent to other military regions. In the case of the Army, some of the garrisons of the Legion of Civilization and overseas mercenaries are responsible.

Although in terms of combat effectiveness, mercenaries are inferior to regular legions. However, the anti-Ming forces on the islands of the South China Sea are not strong. The main threat comes from the sea. Therefore, it is basically sufficient to put these mercenaries and part of the garrison of the Legion of Civilization in charge of land defense.

The remaining Military Regions of the Americas and the Oceanic Military Region are ranked third and fourth, respectively. Its basic institutional setup is also the same as that of the Xiazhou Military Region and the Nanyang Military Region. The garrisons of the Indoctrination Corps and the Civilization Corps are stationed in these two military regions.

However, in view of the particularity of the North American Military Region, the commander of the military region is concurrently served by the commander of the North American Commander. The Military Staff Office is also headed by other administrative officials.

In addition, within some legions, some elite soldiers were also drawn to form cavalry brigades. Their numbers are not large, but fine! All training is also required to the highest standards. For example, the horses needed by the cavalry brigade are sweaty horses specially imported from Central Asia.

After a certain amount of domestication, the native breeding of Xiazhou has been realized.

At present, except for the Ocean Military Region, all other military regions have cavalry brigades. It was also the inconvenience of land transportation in this era, so the importance of horses is still irreplaceable.

After such an arrangement, the military arrangement of the Ming Dynasty was basically determined in the form of the four major military regions.
