Chapter 401: Military Aircraft Division
Li Dongyang nodded: "What Your Majesty said is that the cabinet of the heart of seeking governance is the same as Your Majesty, and Lord Liu also reminds Your Majesty that he has no other thoughts."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand helplessly: "That's it, sit down." Lord Liu, although what I just said is not good, it is also true. The priority is not to fight for names, but how to solve the problem."
Liu Zhong bowed his head: "Yes, the minister lost his words. Your Majesty, may I ask your Majesty what to do with the Governor's Mansion and the Military Department of the Five Armies?"
Zhu Houzhao smiled reluctantly: "I initially envisage the reorganization of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the abolition of the 12 battalions in the capital. The Military Aircraft Department was established first, under the cabinet. Under the Military Aircraft Department, there is the New Military Governor's Office, and the Five Military Governor's Offices are merged. The governors of the five armies were appointed deputy governors, and the rest of the people served in the governor's office of the new army, but there were no specific positions. The 12 battalions of the capital were downgraded and downsized, and no longer appeared as a forbidden army, but were merged, merged, and merged into the Cooking Wolf Army, and the rest of them were used as mobile troops of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses."
Ma Wensheng unconsciously tapped his fingers on the table, and suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, how is the establishment of the new army?"
"The full establishment of 100,000 people, with squads, platoons, companies, battalions, regiments, brigades, divisions, and corps, a type of division is a four-four system, one class plus ten squad leaders and deputy squad leaders; one platoon, one squad leader and one deputy platoon leader; There are four platoons in a company, one principal officer, two deputy positions, one affairs chief, one correspondent and one clerk, and ten people in the cooking class; There are four companies in the first battalion, one main officer, two deputy positions, one chief of affairs, five people in the communication class, three clerks, and ten people in the cooking class; A regiment, four battalions, and so on up to the division level. Division B is similar, except for three shifts in a row. At the same time, it is equipped with artillery, which is delegated to the regimental level, one artillery company per regiment, brigade-level artillery battalion, divisional artillery regiment, and army-level artillery brigade."
Ma Wensheng pondered in his heart for a long time, and suddenly asked again, "Your Majesty, in this way, there are more than 40,000 people in one A Seed Division, isn't it too big?"
Zhu Houzhao shook his head: "It's not like this when you go to the brigade level, the three brigades of the A division will become a division, and the two brigades of the B division will become a division, roughly more than 10,000 people in the A division and more than 6,000 people in the B division."
"How's the weapon?"
"A class of soul chasing guns, half shotguns, and one fire phoenix; A platoon is equipped with a more than one macqin, a mortar, and a grenade to the individual. The artillery company has 10 mountain guns, the artillery battalion has 30 guns, the artillery regiment has 50 guns, and the artillery brigade has 130 guns!"
Ma Wensheng was shocked: "Your Majesty, this, this golden mountain and silver sea can't be done, right? It's too expensive!"
Zhu Houzhao said faintly: "I can't do it slowly, I plan to complete the full compilation in ten years. Otherwise, what would I do with so much money?"
At this moment, Ma Wensheng understood Zhu Houzhao, if there was such an army, the money would really not be enough to stuff his teeth. Li Dongyang opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything after thinking about it. The military department can participate in it, but with the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, it really can't afford to raise it. If the emperor wants to raise it, let him raise it, and one day he can't bear it, and he has to find the cabinet to solve it.
Jiao Fang suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "The imperial court can contribute money, Your Majesty, I am afraid that the power of the internal treasury cannot afford such a lineup of troops, it is better for the treasury and the inner treasury to contribute together." After all, this is also the army of the Ming Dynasty!"
Li Dongyang frowned, very dissatisfied with Jiao Fang's self-assertion. Ma Wensheng understood Jiao Fang's concerns, and couldn't help but change his perception of Jiao Fang a lot. So he said something to help: "Yes, Master Jiao understands His Majesty's difficulties, and it is needless to say that he is loyal. The old minister also thinks that the cabinet has an unshirkable responsibility for such a major matter!"
Li Dongyang thought that Ma Wensheng and Jiao Fang meant to use the excuse to pay money and share the remaining 700,000 taels of gold. So he looked at it with a smile and didn't speak. Who thought that Jiao Fang turned his head and sold the cabinet: "Your Majesty, the cabinet can bring back 300,000 taels when it goes to sea this time, but the new army that replaces the twelve battalions in the capital will definitely help Your Majesty bear the cost."
Zhu Houzhao shook his head: "This matter cannot be ignored! Master Jiao, although it is difficult to go on, the new army must be pure, otherwise the combat effectiveness will be reduced!"
Ma Wensheng shook his head: "Your Majesty, although there is a distinction between civil and military, there are many civil officials who are good at martial arts in this dynasty. Such as Yang Yiqing, and, Weichen!"
Li Dongyang is a little angry, it is normal for Jiao Fang to stand on the emperor's side, what kind of mess are you Mar Wensheng adding? Have you changed your ways? He immediately decided: "Ahem, Your Majesty, it's a big matter, and there is nothing to discuss for a while, Your Majesty is tired, it's better to rest for a while, and discuss it tomorrow."
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Li Dongyang deeply and smiled: "Okay, I am indeed very sleepy, and I will discuss it tomorrow in the Wenhua Palace!"
After waiting out of the Wenhua Palace, Li Dongyang had a gloomy face and didn't say a word. Ma Wensheng smiled and grabbed the sleeve of Li Dongyang's robe: "Master Li, let's go, the hall said."
Entering Li Dongyang's hall, Ma Wensheng praised Jiao Fang with a smile: "Master Jiao, I didn't expect you to see the opportunity so quickly, it's very rare!"
Jiao Fang smiled humbly: "Master Ma, Jiao is also a scholar, and he doesn't dare to sit idly by when he is in the middle of life and death."
Li Dongyang finally couldn't help it, and looked at the two suspiciously: "What kind of dumb riddle are you two playing?"
"Master Li, in the past, when Taizu was in power, the officials of the world were killed and taken away, so what did it taste like?"
Li Dongyang shook his head: "What does that have to do with this incident?"
Ma Wensheng looked at Jiao Fang with a smile: "Master Jiao, come on."
Jiao Fang sighed: "When he became an ancestor, Xie Jin was also the first assistant of the cabinet, but he was killed by Ji Gang with a pile of snow. Lord Li, why are civil officials so low?"
Li Dongyang seemed to understand something, but he was hazy and couldn't think of it. Jiao Fang was not Ma Wensheng, so he didn't dare to sell Guanzi, and immediately continued: "Without him, the military power is in the hands of the emperor! Lord Li, Xia Guan came from Liu Jin's door, and it is said that he should be on His Majesty's side. But the matter is big, and the lower officials dare not see such a tragic scene appear again, so they dare to admonish."
Li Dongyang was stunned, and it took a long time before he shouted, "That's right!" Then he looked at Jiao Fang with a face full of relief: "Meng Yang, the old man is much older than you, so he relies on the old man and sells the old. Originally, I thought you were a lucky person, but I didn't think that there was a great righteousness in your chest! You're right, if Your Majesty takes complete control of the new army, it will be a disaster!"
Ma Wensheng nodded: "Yes, Lord Jiao is desperately trying to stop His Majesty, so I became suspicious, and only then did I understand the joints. Hum! It took a long time for us to feel at ease, and we must never go back to those precarious days!"
Li Dongyang thought for a while and asked Jiao Fang sincerely, "Meng Yang, how do you think you should negotiate with Your Majesty?"
At the same time, Zhu Houzhao was discussing the matter of the New Army with Liu Jin. "Your Majesty, Jiao Fang can't use this person, this person is already on the side of the civil officials. Alas, it's really people's hearts and stomachs, why didn't the slave maid think that most of them were scholars?"
