Chapter 13 Military Reform

Since talking to the eldest grandson Wuji that day, Ma Jin has had a big crisis in his heart, he thought that he would be able to sit back and relax after killing Li Shifang and his party, but there are so many ambitious people in the world, and there are waves of unsettled.

However, Ma Jin also has a backhand, this month he not only summoned the eldest grandson Wuji, but the system also gave him a big surprise.

Tai Chi Palace Nourishing Heart Palace.

Ma Jin is summoning the eldest grandson Wuji, Xie Xuan, Lu Bing, Yang Zaixing and other cronies.

Looking at the many cronies and courtiers in the palace, Ma Jin said solemnly: "I plan to reform the military system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, cut the military government and establish a privy council, and all the officials under the original military government will be returned to the newly established privy council.

The duties of the newly established Privy Council are: to be in charge of the military affairs, military defense, border preparation, and military orders, and all internal and external armies, recruitment, examinations, relocation, cantonment, rewards and punishments, all matters are in charge of the Privy Council.

The 16 Guards under the command of the former Overseer are no longer subordinate to the Privy Council, but are all under the personal control of me, and they are the pro-army of the Imperial Front, and all the future transfers of large armies, more than 100 people, must be signed by the Privy Council envoy himself, and signed by the deputy envoy.

If there are more than 500 people, it must be approved by the Imperial Pen or the Privy Council to request the transfer of troops, otherwise the armies must not use a single soldier in vain, violators! Punished for rebellion! Ma Jin paused, and then continued:

"In addition, the soldiers of the generals of the local states are still under the control of the Privy Council, and the Privy Council may sign on its own without a request for the transfer of troops and horses in the state.

With Xie Xuan as the privy envoy, the chief privy councilor, and still concurrently serves as the envoy of the soldiers and horses of the five cities of the divine capital.

There is also the abolition of the Imperial City Infantry Division, and the subordinate soldiers and horses are under the command of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and in the future, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division will be in charge of patrolling and guarding the gods except for the palace, and the door control and garrison. ”

Everyone in the palace was shocked when they heard this, and after some changes by Ma Jin, they directly deprived the newly established Privy Council of military power, and in the future, the Privy Council could only coordinate military strategy and logistics and armaments, effectively avoiding the disaster of the courtiers' dictatorship.

As for letting Xie Xuan take charge of the military power of the Shendu, it is because Xie Xuan is his own person and will not betray Ma Jin.

Xie Xuan heard Ma Jin's will and hurriedly bowed to thank him, which made the eyes of the others extremely hot, but they were not jealous of Xie Xuan's high position, because they knew that Ma Jin would not treat them badly, so they only heard Ma Jin say again:

"With the eldest grandson Wuji as the cabinet to participate in politics, ranked as the second assistant, awarded the Wenhuadian University Scholar, and assisted the government!

Mowgli! You must show me that the ministers! Ma Jin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and said with some meaning.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Your Majesty! It will live up to the trust! The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and bowed his head.

Ma Jin nodded with satisfaction, glanced around at the ministers in the hall, looked at the fiery eyes below, and said with a slight smile:

"I plan to restructure the Internal Guard Mansion, and in the future, the Internal Guard Mansion will not only be responsible for espionage and investigation affairs, but I will also give the Internal Guard Mansion the right to inspect and arrest, and to picket civil and military officials for me, punish the unsubordinate, and be directly responsible to me, with Lu Bing as the cabinet leader of the Internal Guard Mansion, and the general administration of the government!"

When Lu Bing heard Ma Jin's will, his chest rose and fell, his face was flushed, and he knelt down and said, "The minister is willing to serve His Majesty and never give up!"

"Let's get flat!" Ma Jin smiled and asked Lu Bing to get up. As he spoke, he looked at a middle-aged man in the hall wearing a purple python robe, with gold armor on his arms, martial boots on his feet, and a handsome face-Yue Fei!

Yes! It was Yue Fei, one of the four generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, Ma Jin may have stepped on shit when he drew the lottery this time, and his luck exploded, and he actually drew Yue Fei and all the generals under his command.

Such as Zhang Xian, Yue Yun, Li Bao, Niu Gao, Gao Zhong and other fierce generals are among them, you must know that Ma Jin has drawn 120,000 elites of the Yue family, this is the Yue family army that "shakes the mountain and is easy, and regrets the Yue family's army is difficult"!

For this reason, Ma Jin emptied almost one-fifth of his internal funds and summoned all the Yue family's army.

This is why he is now in charge, otherwise he can only watch, after all, millions of taels of silver are not so easy to take.

"Yue Qing!"

"The minister is here!" Yue Fei hurriedly came out and knelt down.

"I have appointed you as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and I will jointly lead the Privy Council with Xie Qing!"

"All the armies under Aiqing's command have also been incorporated into the Imperial Army, with the Yue family sergeant as the main body to reorganize the Imperial Army, and the three armies of Tabai, Youyi, and Beiwei have all been merged into the three armies of Shence, Xiaoguo, and Guanhe.

With Wang Zhenwei and Tan Daoji as the generals of Long Wuwei

Liu Gaozhi is the deputy envoy of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and he is the chief minister

With Yang Zaixing as the general of Qianniuwei, the palace is forbidden

With Zhang Xian and Li Bao as the left and right generals of Long Xiangwei

With Yue Yun and Niu Gao as the left and right Leopard Taowei generals

……………”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is a little inappropriate to incorporate all the Yue family's army into the forbidden army, Your Majesty! The original armies in front of the emperor plus the armies under the command of General Yue, there are no less than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the grain and grass currently stored in the Shendu are simply not enough to supply. At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly came out and played.

Ma Jin listened to the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, and couldn't help but be stunned, he forgot about this stubble, just thinking about the riots, he never thought about the extra 100,000 soldiers and horses all at once, what should he do with this eating, drinking, and Lasa.

Ma Jin's face turned grim, he looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and asked:

"Mowgli, what can you do?"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is completely possible to transfer half of the soldiers and horses from the existing guards under the jurisdiction of the front division of the palace, and fill them with soldiers and horses under the command of General Yue, so that the purpose of controlling the troops of the front division of the palace can be completely achieved.

As for the other soldiers? The minister thought that he could disperse to the prefectures of the country and garrison them, and the localities would provide for them, which would not only solve the problem of food and wages, but also control the localities, which could be described as killing two birds with one stone. ”

"Good! Very good, Qing's words, even with me! Ma Jin was overjoyed and said, this is really killing two birds with one stone, which can not only solve the problem of food and salary for soldiers and horses, but also control the place.

You must know that Ma Jin has long wanted to stretch out his hand to the place, but there are not so many loyal people in his hands, so he has to suppress this idea in his heart, but think about it, it is actually better to send some soldiers and horses over, these strong soldiers in a hundred battles are more deterrent than sending one or two civilian officials.

After all, "power comes out of the barrel of a gun", it is not just talk, as long as these soldiers and horses loyal to him go down to the place, and see who dares to blow up the thorn at that time, Lao Tzu will not kill him.

"Then Aiqing thinks it's best to arrange it?" Ma Jin is too lazy to think about it now, with such a useful minister under his nose, he naturally wants to be lazy.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the number of guards and horses can be increased from 12,000 to 24,000, so that they can take people by surprise and play a role in confusing people's minds.

Second, it is also to avoid remaking the number, compilation and other things to make everyone known, which makes some people suspicious and spoils His Majesty's major affairs. Listening to the eldest grandson Wuji's eloquent talk, Ma Jin couldn't help but nod again and again.

Let him sigh, it's good to have such a minister, you don't even need to bring your brain in the future, just give orders.

"After the secret reorganization is completed, Your Majesty can issue an order to the world to transfer the soldiers and horses of the Shendu and garrison the place.

With so many soldiers and horses missing from the gods at once, the rats hidden in the darkness would naturally jump out one by one, and they would be wiped out at that time. ”

"Good! Just do as you want! Xie Qing, Yue Qing, the two of you, as the eldest grandson said, immediately rectify the armies of the Divine Capital!. ”

"Minister, obey!" Xie Xuan and Yue Fei hurriedly stepped forward to receive the order.

Later, Ma Jin appointed all the people he summoned and arranged them in important positions. After all, there was only one such opportunity, and it was impossible for him to purge the courtiers again in a short period of time.

Otherwise, what is the difference with a tyrant, as for the ability to summon people or something, it doesn't matter to Ma Jin, as long as he is loyal.

And he also happened to take this opportunity to see what people jumped out, and these people in the province were hiding in the shadows every day to play conspiracy and tricks, causing trouble for Ma Jin.

After the matter was discussed, Ma Jin left everyone in the palace for lunch before letting them disperse.
