"I have decided to confer on you the rank of captain and the post of Imperial Military Secretary. "Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zheng De seemed very satisfied with Wang Shouren's reply. The purpose of his summoning Wang Shouren was to have someone who could help him in military and other affairs after the establishment of the Military Aircraft Department. Although Wang Tingxiang is a very thoughtful person, he may not be better than Wang Shouren in handling military affairs. Moreover, he also felt that it was quite inappropriate to let a person help him deal with the affairs of the world, and now that he thought about it, he made this decision, so as not to endanger himself in the end.

"Thanksgiving!"

Hearing the emperor's words, although Wang Shouren was a little surprised, he still hurriedly saluted, and then boldly asked, "Your Majesty is really ready to implement the rank system in my Ming army?" ”

The emperor wanted to implement the military rank system, and Wang Shouren, who was the head of the military department, naturally knew a little about this matter. It's a pity that there is always thunder and rain, and there are rumors from last year to this year, which makes everyone feel that it is just a rumor. But now that he heard the emperor conferring his military rank, he made Wang Shouren understand that this was indeed a real thing.

Zheng De didn't mean to deny it, nodded and explained, "I have decided to implement a system among military attaches according to their official ranks, which are divided into six ranks and eighteen levels, including marshals, generals, colonels, captains, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers...... And so on, to the lowest private, what does Aiqing think? ”

Wang Shouren groaned, "Is Your Majesty imitating the Qin Dynasty's military merit awarding system?" ”

Zheng De raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but thinking that the military rank system in later generations was indeed similar to the military merit awarding system of the Qin Dynasty, it was no wonder that people such as Liu Daxia and Wang Shouren would think of the latter as soon as they heard it. But he is happy to do so now, but he saves himself the trouble of explaining it again.

"Since the founding of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty more than 100 years ago, due to the large number of military households and land occupied, the production and life of military households have been difficult, resulting in a large number of military personnel fleeing, and the army's combat effectiveness has also been greatly weakened. That's why I thought of using this method to inspire my Ming soldiers and ensure that my Ming dynasty will be forever. Zheng De said in a deep voice, but a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy still felt extremely awkward when he said such an old word, but it also made Wang Tingxiang and Wang Shouren extremely moved. After all, these two are aspiring young people according to the current statement, and naturally they have some understanding of the pros and cons of the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, and what the emperor said is indeed the truth.

"Holy Wisdom." Wang Shouren complimented, but still raised a question, "Your Majesty is going to implement the military rank system among military attachés, so how to deal with military attachés?" ”

"The official position shall be retained, the rank shall be abolished, and the official position shall be awarded according to the rank and rank in the future." Zheng De saw Wang Shouren's contemplative expression, and asked suspiciously, "What, what's the problem?" ”

Wang Shouren said, "In this case, how does Your Majesty think the official uniforms of the military attachés in the DPRK should be distributed?" ”

Zheng De was stunned when he heard this, he really didn't expect this matter, did he want to introduce modern military uniform styles? He shook his head, not saying that he didn't know how to design, and even if he did, he couldn't do it. After all, in the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty, it is simply a strange costume, which is too eye-catching, and it is difficult to explain the source. In this case, it is better to follow the current military attache uniform of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, this is also a kind of military uniform, but the name is different.

Thinking of this, Zheng De raised his head and looked at him, somewhat understanding what the latter meant, and nodded, "Bo'an, tell me your opinion?" ”

"The Qin Dynasty's military merit system divides the title into 20 levels, from the first-class public scholar to the 20th level of the marquis, and the ranks are clear at a glance. Why didn't Your Majesty add rank to the military rank as in the previous establishment of civil official ranks, so that the military ranks can be clearly distinguished, and things such as official uniforms and rewards can also be better regulated, so that it can't better temper my Ming soldiers? ”

Hearing Wang Shouren's words, Zheng De was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, this idea is indeed feasible. After all, the times are different, and it is impossible for me to really copy some things from my previous life to this world, and combining the current situation of this society is the king.

"I see." Zheng De didn't dwell on this matter too much, and instead mentioned the matter just now, "Just now, I and Ziheng talked about the personnel of the Minister of Military Aircraft, I don't know if Aiqing has any good suggestions?" ”

Minister of Military Aircraft?

What kind of officer is this?

Seeing his confused expression, Zheng De glanced at the royal court, who stood up knowingly and told the emperor the idea of setting up a military aircraft department.

"All military affairs in the world are in charge of the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and Your Majesty can also let the Ministry of War temporarily prime minister the affairs of the military affairs of the world, so why should there be a temporary Minister of Military Aircraft?" Wang Shouren didn't understand.

Zheng De glanced at him and shook his head, "You don't understand this, the functions and powers of civilian and military officials are different, if you let civilian officials manage the military affairs of the world, then what do you want military attaches to do?" ”

Wang Shouren was speechless for a moment, only to hear the emperor continue to say, "I have decided to turn some civilian officials in the DPRK into military attaches to help me take charge of the military aircraft department. ”

He raised his head and looked at Wang Shouren, "Speaking of which, you are also the first official in this dynasty to be converted from a civilian official to a military attaché. ”

Wang Shouren said, "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

Zheng De nodded, and then looked at Wang Tingxiang on the side, "Ziheng, let's draft the will." ”

The latter hurriedly took out the yellow silk, looked at the emperor with a pen, and Zheng De said in a deep voice, "Remove the right capital from the post of governor of Panfan and Liangguang, and immediately report to Beijing." Well, that's probably what it means. ”

After the holy decree was written and the jade seal was sealed, Zheng De waved his hand at him, "Give it down." ”

Seeing Wang Tingxiang leaving in a hurry with the holy decree, Wang Shouren couldn't help but say loudly, "Your Majesty, the land of Liangguang has not been peaceful in recent years, and the local Tusi has repeatedly rebelled with self-respect, and it is necessary for the imperial court to send a large member to sit in the town, and the military affairs of the governor and Liangguang are the same. ”

"Oh?" Zheng De glanced at him, remembering that last year's Si'en Prefect Cen Jun was in turmoil, and nodded approvingly, "Then who do you think is suitable?" ”

Wang Shouren didn't expect the emperor to ask for his opinion, so he opened his mouth and couldn't say anything.

Seeing this, Zheng De didn't embarrass him, thought for a while and said, "You go and help me sort out all the relevant information of my Daming guards and military households." ”

"Obey." Wang Shouren nodded.

"Do the two pavilion elders think that the emperor has any purpose in handing over the six chapters presented by the Yamen to us and others according to the yamen?" On the way back, Xie Qian, who thought about it more and more, couldn't help but say.

Li Dongyang looked back at him, muttering before he could speak, but Wang Jing said at this time, "The difference between the elder and the elder of the pavilion, we are just assisting the emperor in handling court affairs." Now, even if His Majesty orders us to deal with the six yamen chapters separately, it will not mean anything, after all, in the end, everything depends on the hand of the Son of Heaven. ”

Xie Qian glanced up at him and couldn't help frowning slightly. Since the last imperial examination, he finally stood on the emperor's side with Wang Jing, and he still inevitably had a trace of mustard in his heart. However, what the latter said is indeed the truth, the emperor just divided the previous cabinet matters into more specific heads, if there is any purpose, maybe this is the purpose of this great tomorrow.

"Your Majesty first handed over the power of distribution to the cabinet of the imperial court, and then handed over the power of appointment and dismissal of some officials of the ministry to the cabinet. Xie Qian sighed lightly, feeling sad and uneasy.

The three of them glanced at each other, all silent, obviously knowing what this Ming elder was worried about.

"Speaking of the questions of this palace test, it is what we should worry about now." Li Dongyang directly changed the topic.

Xie Qian glanced at him dissatisfiedly when he heard this, after Liu Jian resigned and left the cabinet, the differences between the two in the handling of some matters in the imperial court became bigger and bigger, and the contradictions gradually increased invisibly. However, because of Li Dongyang's initiative to retreat, the relationship between the two has not been affected much, but it is obvious that the seeds of contradiction have been planted.

However, what Li Dongyang said is indeed the truth, after all, the results of the examination have come out, and the palace examination will be held in a few days. If you haven't prepared the palace test questions, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain it to the emperor.

He glanced at the head of the Ming Cabinet provocatively, "Brother Bin is a well-known talent inside and outside my Ming Dynasty, I don't know if there are any good ideas to come up with?" ”

Li Dongyang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This test question really doesn't have to be waited for by me. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Xie Qian was a little puzzled, but then he thought of something, and said in surprise, "Does Your Majesty want to make a plan yourself?" ”

The Ming Dynasty Palace tried to write a paper according to the current saying. In the early Ming Dynasty, the formulation of the policy was done by the emperor himself, but it is obvious that although the descendants of the eight brothers have undergone a good royal education, they are still not as diligent as their ancestors who were born in mud, so in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, they were handed over to the scholars of the Hanlin Academy and the cabinet scholars to formulate the problems.

When I think of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy who has a problem, this level can be imagined. Xie Qian couldn't help frowning slightly, feeling that the emperor was simply treating the country's major affairs as child's play, and he was too much nonsense.

"No, I'll go to the palace right away, Your Majesty."

Seeing that Xie Qian didn't say a word and turned around and went back, Li Dongyang hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed him. The former turned his head with a dissatisfied face, and in the face of his angry gaze, Li Dongyang said calmly, "I still need to wait for the matter of formulating the policy to be submitted to Your Majesty, and as for whether the emperor will adopt it, I can't predict it." ”

Xie Qian's face was also red when he heard this, and he was embarrassed by his impulsive behavior without listening to what he said, but he was also very responsible and bowed to Li Dongyang, "It's a mistake, please forgive Brother Bin." ”

Li Dongyang waved his hand generously, "You and I are colleagues and friends, so why do you need to be like this?" ”

Xie Qian nodded, and didn't say anything more, and directly shifted to this matter, "Then what should I do now?" ”

"The three of us will go back to Wenyuan Pavilion first and discuss with Wang Ge Lao to discuss this palace test strategy, and then submit it to the emperor for confinement. If Your Majesty wants to formulate a policy in person, if it is too inappropriate, I will enter the palace together to dissuade it, how about it? ”

After listening to Li Dongyang's words, Xie Qian and Wang Jing both nodded in agreement.
