The reform of the Ming army led by Lu Xiangsheng, although it was somewhat unfavorable to Lu Hanqiang, but after all, it was implemented throughout the country to greatly boost the morale of the imperial court's army, and the army was no longer blindly commanded by civilian officials who did not understand military strategy, so that the expert generals who knew how to war could let go, and the soldiers with sufficient money and food were also willing to fight. Ｅん．

And in the northwest, because Hong Chengchou, a civilian official, knew military strategy, and at the same time had no doubts about his loyalty to Chongzhen, so he was in charge of the Northwest Military Region alone, commanding a group of northwest warriors with He Renlong as the commander, as well as the reinforcements of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and chased the remnants of Gao Yingxiang Li Zicheng's rogues to the heavens and the ground. As long as the imperial court does not hinder Hong Chengchou and let him do it, Hong Chengchou will not make a faint move, and pacifying the northwest is just around the corner.

However, for this advance of the military reform, Lu Hanqiang is still worried in his heart, the entire military reform in addition to changing the entire Ming military structure, more and more like aimed at himself, it seems that Emperor Chongzhen still did not let go of his worries, his second brother Lu Xiangsheng just borrowed this mentality.

Lu Hanqiang thought, since the east wind has already blown, should I take advantage of the trend to pull the sails? If I don't have any other ability, I will take advantage of the trend and slowly integrate the historical trend of reform into this ancient and dull old empire.

Chinese history lasts for 5,000 years, in fact, it is all ********, who wants to enter the court, not in the place to boil for twenty or thirty years of qualifications, it is absolutely impossible to do, and the court, standing full of gray-haired, bearded old people, and this is also praised by the world for being old and serious, but do not want to, which greatly hinders the idea of forging ahead.

Last time, by overthrowing the Wen Tiren group, Lu Hanqiang took advantage of the situation to participate in many young people in the court of the old man, especially the most important cadres such as Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, Wang Fang, etc., so that this twilight old empire finally had fresh blood and served as a decision-making layer in the central group.

So since you Chongzhen gave me a stumbling block this time, then I might as well give it to you again by the way, anyway, classmates, it's used to hurt each other.

Give Chongzhen a look, the premise must be to follow Chongzhen's meaning, and Chongzhen can't be suspicious again, then okay, let's start with the military department, so, after Lu Hanqiang thought about it, he sent a sincere letter to the emperor Chongzhen - "On the adaptation of the Ming army system, strengthening centralization, and controlling Chen Zazi." 》

This article Chen Kaizong clearly wrote: "The military town disaster country has been a long time, the division of the previous life, the future generations can learn from it, and the dynasty will eventually grasp the local military power, it is really the stability of the country, but the history of China, the Tang Dynasty, looking down on all states, and finally Panzhen was divided, the country was ruined, so the follow-up dynasties, strictly controlled the dictatorship of military generals, with the Great Song Dynasty as the most, the smallest land in the world, but the center of the world, the weakest army in the world, but the strongest economic center in the world, but things went to extremes, and finally the country was ruined, and there was a shame of Jingkang, Why? The central government's control of the local army is too strict, so that the generals do not know the soldiers and do not understand the generals, and the emperor sits in the forbidden palace, but commands the soldiers tens of thousands of miles away to fight, which is simply a joke. Zhang Chi has a degree, Fang is the overall situation of the stability of the country, the ministers think day and night, the emperor and Lu Xiangsheng Shangshu military reform enlightenment, especially on the article Chen, express his heart that the empire is safe for a long time. ”

A bunch of sycophants, a bunch of excuses, in fact, the ultimate one, the purpose is to let Chongzhen happily agree to his own way, that is, to set up a military aircraft department in the center, nominally, all the military command power of the Ming Empire, all under the command of the military aircraft department, gather all the forces of the Ming Empire, including household money and grain, and the unified deployment of equipment of the Ministry of Industry, in order to strengthen the control of the major military regions of the local army, and achieve the real control of military power in the center.

Of course, the military department is outside the six departments, and directly directs the department of the whole industry, so the foreman of the military aircraft department should naturally be led by the successive military department Shangshu, of course, now it is natural that Lu Xiangsheng should be the foreman minister, and the other ministries coordinate and supervise each other, and at the same time, the military regions should be a member of the military aircraft department, and every major military strategic decision must solicit the opinions of the military from all over the country. In order to avoid the formation of blind command, so that one family will not be dominant, and everything will be stable.

Then, in the book, the functions of the military aircraft department, the structure, and the scope of jurisdiction are described in detail, it is simply detailed, all-encompassing, from the entire book, Lu Hanqiang is thinking about Emperor Chongzhen's intentions, and the loyalty shown in the whole article can no longer be loyal, if your emperor suspects that Lu Hanqiang has ulterior motives, then you are sorry for your conscience.

But in his bones, the military aircraft department that Lu Hanqiang engaged in was a disguised deprivation of the emperor's military cadredom, and divided the imperial power in disguise, so that the various ministries that were not subordinate to each other really played the ability to coordinate the military wars of various places.

If according to Lu Hanqiang's method, once the military aircraft department is formed, then in the military aircraft department, the foreman minister is his second brother Lu Xiangsheng, and he and his eldest brother Hong Chengchou will also become part of this, if you add Sun Yuanhua of Shandong, Sun Chengzong, who has a very good impression of himself, and there is also a Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, then after careful calculation, the military aircraft department is a total of two Shangshu, plus the nine people who joined the army in the six military regions, their own faction accounts for six, and if the little fat man, the first prince of the Ming Dynasty, who has a vain name, is stuffed in. Then things are even more perfect, so that the imperial power is divided, and they protect themselves, and it is justifiable, so that the people of the world can't find any fault, then all the military of the Ming Dynasty is almost equivalent to being controlled in their own hands.

The pits you dug for me are all pediatrics, I have seen too many pits, and there are too many pits dug for others, now I will dig a big one for you, so that you can jump into it willingly, and I also want to say that I Lu Hanqiang is sincerely patriotic, this is the highest state of digging pits.
