"Your Majesty, the most important thing in the army is vitality, not the twilight of age. Although the veteran is out, a top two. However, in the future, the army must be equipped with new tactics, new weapons, and new ideas. If you are old, I am afraid that you will not be able to fight with new tactics and new weapons. Civilian officials are different, what civilian officials need is stability and calmness, so it doesn't matter if you're old, but the army can't. In the past hundreds of thousands of years, it has been cold weapon warfare, so veterans are still very useful. But in our age of firearms; The veteran is probably not up to the task. Li Junxian said.

After Li Shimin heard this, he was also a little hesitant, because this was not only related to middle and low-level military attachés, but also related to high-level generals. Because the senior generals may not be able to learn to fight with firearms, they can only rely on those young generals. When the time comes, it is also a question whether those veterans will bounce back. Although Li Shimin wanted to take the opportunity to clean up the power of the veterans in the army, he didn't want those veterans to rebound. If this tenure system is really implemented, then I am afraid that those veterans will be forced to retire one by one.

"Let's talk about this then! First of all, how should the Privy Council be formed? Li Shimin said.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since there are six ministries in Shangshu Province, there should also be six ministries in the Privy Council. Shangshu Province is the Sixth Department of Literature, and our one should be the Sixth Department of Martial Arts. Li Junxian said.

"Then which six are these martial arts six divisions?" Li Shimin continued to ask knowingly.

Li Junxian then introduced the so-called martial arts.

"The first department is first and foremost the General Staff Headquarters, which is headed by the Chief of Staff. The General Staff Headquarters is responsible for the military development of the Tang Dynasty, formulating and implementing the military strategy of the Tang Dynasty, studying the military data of neighboring countries, formulating imaginary enemies, and doing a good job of mobilization and command work that is ready to be carried out at any time. The General Staff Headquarters evolved from the General Staff Headquarters of our Special Guard, and its status has been raised a lot. It is no longer limited to a certain army, but is responsible for the military of the whole country. And each subordinate army can set up a staff department at its discretion, but the grade is different. ”

"The second department is the Political Headquarters, which is headed by the Chief Political Officer. The Political Headquarters is responsible for military missionary education, the teaching of soldiers, the establishment of the army, and the transfer of personnel and personnel in the army. And this political headquarters is to firmly grasp the army in the hands of the center, and the leadership of this political chief should be a person trusted by the emperor. And all the subordinate armies can set up political departments, which are also missionary soldiers. Take control of the departments of the army. ”

"The third department is the logistics headquarters, which is responsible for all things such as military logistics and finance, and even the army's civil construction. In the future, the financial resources of the army, as well as the construction of various facilities of the army, the construction of the city wall, the reinforcement of the Great Wall, and even the military gallop and all kinds of materials reported by the Tang Newspaper will be handed over to this logistics headquarters for management. Logistics departments can also be set up at all levels of the armed forces. This power, of course, is inferior to that of the logistics headquarters. ”

"The fourth department, which is the equipment headquarters. Responsible for the management, research and development and use of various equipment. In the future, all kinds of equipment of the army will be handed over to the equipment headquarters for management. At present, all the equipment of our Datang is provided by the Ordnance Superintendent, so we can directly reorganize the Ordnance Superintendent into the Equipment Headquarters, which can save a lot of time and effort. ”

"Part 5. That is, the training headquarters. The training headquarters is responsible for the training of recruits, as well as the research and development of new tactics, testing. There are also various ceremonies organized to review the soldiers. In the future, the major armies will no longer be able to recruit troops on their own, and they will have to go through the preliminary training of the officers under the training headquarters and ideological teaching before they can be assigned to different armies. ”

"The sixth department, the headquarters of the navy. The Navy Headquarters is responsible for all the Datang Navy Forces, from the boat divisions of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River to the sailors who can go abroad, all of which are managed by the Navy Headquarters. ”

"Also, we can have a class director. For example, if we have a firearms officer, we can set up a firearms director. Orderlies, we can set up a director of service in the center, as well as a director of cavalry, a director of military medicine, and so on. The status of these directors is worse than that of Wu Liubu, and they can be treated according to Jiuqing. ”

After Li Junxian introduced the Sixth Department of Wu and the major directors, those civil officials were very shocked. Because this Li Junxian is completely trying to establish a military system, and it is not a reform at all. And once this system is established, there is probably almost no place for civilian officials to control the military. In the past, civilian officials could also influence the military through personnel issues, as well as money, food, and salaries. But now that the army has a political department and an independent logistics department, it can be said that the civilian officials have completely lost control of the army.

And once they lose the ability to influence the military, the power of civilian officials will be reduced by more than half. And the military attache was also excited when he heard this martial arts sixth department, so as to avoid those civil officials pointing fingers. Since ancient times, emperors have controlled the military through civilian officials, and if this military system is established, it is completely possible to expand the power of the army with the emperor's confidence. In this way, there is a check and balance within the army, and there is no need to include civilian officials. Once a civilian official touches the army, it is difficult for the army not to rot.

Civilian officials often meddle in the military, which is also a reason for the disagreement between civil and military forces since ancient times. The civil officials knew that they were a pawn of the emperor to control the army, so they tried their best to drag the army back. The progress of the military system has not kept up with the progress of the civilian government, so it has not been able to fight with the civilian government at all. In fact, the army has not formed a perfect military organization system, so it cannot fight with those civilian officials who have a perfect system. And Li Junxian wants to establish the military-political system of the army, so that he can truly be parallel to the civilian officials. Moreover, although this weakened the power of the army for a short time, it also really took the army out of government affairs, and the emperor did not have to worry about the army interfering in government affairs, and became a local warlord.

"What a ghost!" Li Jing was secretly thinking in his heart.

Li Junxian actually came up with a military system like this, which is almost unimaginable. At present, the system of three provinces and six ministries of civil officials has gone through thousands of years of evolution, during which countless emperors and courtiers have been improved, and only then have today's three provinces and six ministries. But Li Junxian actually came up with such a military system out of thin air, and I have to say that Li Junxian is a ghost.

But they didn't know that Li Junxian had much more insight than them. Li Junxian used the military system of later generations to establish the military system of this era, which is of course countless times more advanced. (To be continued......)
