As soon as Wei Zhongxian's carriage arrived in Jingshi, the little eunuch who was passing the word approached quickly.

"Father-in-law Wei.. The emperor summoned you to the palace for an audience..."

Wei Zhongxian gently lifted the curtain of the carriage and said, "En... We know, let's go. ”

He withdrew his hand again and sat in the carriage, and the coachman of Dongchang, who was in charge of driving the horse, did not slack off in the slightest, and also heard what Wei Zhongxian said.

He re-drew the whip of the chariot and entered the Beijing Division.

The carriage staggered close to the palace, Wei Zhongxian got out of the carriage and straightened his clothes, then brushed his sleeves and entered the palace, and after a while, he appeared outside the Dongnuan Pavilion.

"Old slave Wei Zhongxian.. Request an audience."

"Father-in-law Wei come in quickly, I have something important to discuss with you."

"The old slave obeys..."

"The battle of Liaodong has been in full swing, but I still have an important thing that I have always been relieved of, now the Dutch seem to be constantly raising the price of grain, Xu Guangqi also played an excerpt and said that the promotion of sweet potatoes has encountered great obstacles in Shandong. I want to borrow the East Factory to go around Daming and collect more accurate information for the Ministry of Agriculture. The food problem is very important, and I can't rest assured."

Wei Zhongxian was stunned for a moment, bowed and saluted, "The old slave obeys the order.."

But in fact, this is just a polite remark said by Zhu Youzhen, the most important thing...

"I heard that the Ministry of War is carrying out military reform throughout the country, and many civilian officials are arguing with me every day. said that once the military and government are separated, can this court still be regarded as a court? I don't quite understand a question, so I'm looking for you to ask for advice. ”

Although Zhu Youzhen even had a little smile on his face when he spoke, Wei Zhongxian was extremely harsh when he heard this in his ears...

"If the emperor has something, even if you ask the old slave, you must know everything, and you must say everything..."

"This court should be my court, and the soldiers and horses in the world should also be my soldiers and horses, why do people dare to take the opportunity to seek convenience in military power during the reform of the military department after the fall of the Donglin Party?.. I'm puzzled by that."

Zhu Youzhen's hand holding the teacup slowly put down, his eyes were cold, and he continued: "They... Are you not afraid of death? ”

It was just early summer, and the weather in Jingshi had become a little stuffy because of the rising summer temperature in recent years, and Wei Zhongxian, who was kneeling on the ground, wiped the sweat on his forehead vigorously.

"The old slave knows what to do... Dongchang will help the military department complete the restructuring of the local army in the country in the fastest possible time."

"Hmm.."

"Then let's do it..."

As for the reform of the local military, Zhu Youzhen originally thought that he could give local officials some relatively independent autonomy to a certain extent, after all, with a large-scale Tianhu Army stationed in the north, Zhu Youzhen did not think that there could be any danger that could threaten him.

Therefore, with regard to the local armies that exist in various parts of the south, we still instruct the reform of the military headquarters with an attitude that can be controlled.

And the Ministry of War did exactly that, but with the advancement of the reform of the Ministry of War.

More and more civilian officials began to try to make some articles on the local army, the most important of which was that many officials had raised opinions, and the continuous drawing of the line between civilian and military power made them feel that civilian officials could not control the army.

It was as if his rights had been violated.

However, none of them seemed to think of the most crucial thing.

That's where exactly does their power come from?

Is it from their decades of hard work?

No.

Throughout the ages, there have been countless readers who have suffered from the cold window, and those who can become officials are just the hairs of the cows.

Is it from their intricate clan web?

No.

What kind of prince will Xiangning have? There are almost no noble children among the internal officers of the Heavenly Tiger Army.

They all forgot.

There is only one source of his own power, and that is imperial power, and that is Zhu Youzhen.

So Zhu Youzhen is ready to give them a long memory.

Walking out of the palace, Wei Zhongxian's face became more and more cold, everyone knows that the emperor's desire to control the army is extremely strong, and he can give a certain range and a certain amount of local army dispatch power to local officials before.

This is already a great military and political reform, but what he didn't expect was that there were still people dissatisfied with it.

There are also people who want to take advantage of such an opportunity to fight for more power, so don't blame others...

"Putting the military department, we want to see for ourselves this reform of the military department, where is the problem?"

"Swing the military department!"

Inside the military department.

"Bang!"

A fist slammed into the desk, and a muffled sound suddenly sounded.

"It's too much of a deception! The deception is too much, have the local officials in this lake eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall? How dare you disobey the restructuring of the Ministry of War! Blatantly taking the soldiers of the local army as their own, pointing at the officers and soldiers and saying that they are their family members?! ”

Huo Weihua, who was wearing a black gauze hat, was cursing the local officials in Huguang with an angry face...

But at this moment, Wei Zhongxian opened the door and walked in: "Lord Huo.. What makes you so annoyed, but we heard you cursing outside."

As soon as Huo Weihua saw Wei Zhongxian push the door in, the anger in his heart was instantly suppressed by three points.

said in a hoarse voice: "Back to Grandpa Wei's words... The restructuring of the military department has encountered a little trouble... Out of the way, out of the way! ”

"A little trouble? Can you smash the table as a soldier or a small trouble? Our family seems to have heard you cursing Huguang officials just now? ”

Huo Weihua nodded and didn't say anything more.

But at this moment, Wei Zhongxian showed a mouthful of cold white teeth: "Let's help you, the emperor heard that the military department was in trouble, but he was very annoyed."

Shocked when he heard this, Huo Weihua muttered to himself: "The emperor also knows?" This Huguang official can really be killed! ”

"Then kill! Let's do it for you, can you tell us about the situation in Huguang, so that our family can also understand? ”

Huo Weihua nodded, and pulled over a map of the Huguang region from the side of the desk, and the provincial capitals, prefectures and counties were fully marked.

"This time, in accordance with His Majesty's will, the Ministry of War will carry out the recovery of the military power of the local armies throughout the country, as well as the reorganization and reform, and those with a certain combat capability will be allowed to continue to be stationed in the localities, and some prefecture and county-level soldiers will all be integrated in the vicinity and demarcate military administrative areas in the form of small and contiguous districts."

"At the same time, local officials of prefectures, counties, and provincial governments are allowed to hold a certain level of military deputy posts in the corresponding military administrative areas, and certain military powers are given to the localities, but other than that, it is completely forbidden for the localities to set up any army other than the Arrest and Arrest Commanders..."

Speaking of which, Huo Weihua was a little stuck.

"So... Does anyone not accept this plan? Wei Zhongxian narrowed his eyes.
