Zhu Jingyuan determined the most important candidates for the ministers of Jiuqing, and at the same time determined several candidates for key Shangshu.

There will be no large-scale approval and adjustment of the resignations of more officials who have just turned 60 years old and who are not yet 60 years old.

Zhu Jingyuan is also an ordinary person, he has a clear impression in his mind, plus he specially recorded, those officials who he thinks are very good, are not enough to cover the entire imperial court.

More importantly, it is impossible for him to change all the officials above the third grade at one time.

Then the court will be chaotic.

Moreover, after the Renwu Dynasty, most of the officials of the central yamen of the Ming Dynasty had no obvious political tendencies.

There may be various partisan groups in the bureaucracy that are driven by geography or interests.

But there were no factions formed around other princes.

After becoming the emperor, most of the ordinary courtiers will naturally be loyal to him.

Normal bureaucrats are under no psychological pressure when they are loyal to the legitimate emperor.

Give them a chance to show their allegiance yourself.

That is, to see whether they are dedicated to completing the special affairs assigned by the new emperor.

If you really encounter a small number of individuals who push back and obstruct the law, you can just fire and replace them in the name of dereliction of duty.

Zhu Jingyuan put down the notebooks of the civil officials and began to deal with the military attache system.

However, after picking up the first book, Zhu Jingyuan did not immediately open it to see the contents inside.

Instead, pinch it and start thinking about a seemingly simple but not simple question.

Do you want to change the names of the Military Aircraft Department and the Minister of Military Aircraft?

It was changed to the General Staff, or the Joint Chiefs of Staff, or the Military Council.

In Zhu Jingyuan's previous life, the name of the Military Aircraft Department came from the Qing Dynasty and was originally set up by workaholic Yongzheng.

The Military Aircraft Department of the Qing Dynasty was indeed used to deal with emergency military affairs at first, but it gradually evolved into a de facto cabinet.

In the Qing Dynasty, the Imperial Court Scholar became an honorary title, and the Minister of Military Aircraft was the actual cabinet member.

The duty of the Minister of War is to handle important government affairs in accordance with the emperor's will.

The Military Aircraft Department was the de facto highest authority in the mid-to-late Qing Dynasty.

This body carried out the personal will of the emperor.

The indoctrination of history classes in school, the propaganda of various film and television dramas in later generations, and his current identity as the Ming royal family made Zhu Jingyuan not have much good impression of the name of the Military Aircraft Department.

Zhu Jingyuan has thought more than once and wants to change this name.

Zhu Jingyuan is not prepared to adjust the responsibilities of the organization, and its responsibilities are still relatively reasonable.

Emperor Sejo established the Military Aircraft Department, which was actually an institution between the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Military Council.

The supreme military power of the Ming Dynasty belongs to the emperor, and the Military Aircraft Department is responsible for formulating the overall combat strategy and planning the development direction of the army and military industry in accordance with the emperor's military intentions and goals.

In addition to his daily work, he also collects and sorts out military-related information, summarizes actual combat information and experience, and deliberates documents and reports submitted by the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office.

The Ming officials and people of this world do not know about the affairs of the Qing Dynasty in another world.

In their view, the place responsible for planning and discussing important military aircraft affairs is called the Military Aircraft Department, and the ministers who do specific things in the Military Aircraft Department are called the Minister of Military Aircraft, which is a very appropriate name.

Before ascending the throne, Zhu Jingyuan felt that there was no need to revise it with his father for the sake of a name.

Daddy, he will definitely think that the name of the Military Aircraft Department is very appropriate, and he will definitely be very puzzled why he specifically applied for a name change.

If there is a reform, and at the same time the name is changed, it can be justified.

But if he didn't change his functions and simply changed his name, Zhu Jingyuan felt that he had no way to explain it at that time.

So there has been no mention of the name change.

Now that he is the emperor, if he wants to change this name, it will be a matter of one sentence in terms of strength.

If someone insists on asking the reason, they can also directly reply "I like it".

Moreover, there are many things that Zhu Jingyuan wants to change his name, including even the entire military rank and position system of the military attache system.

Zhu Jingyuan wanted to add the rank system of generals and lieutenants to the middle and lower ranks, and change them back to the traditional rank, military rank, and honor system of the Ming Dynasty.

The original bureaucratic system in ancient China, including the two systems of civil officials and military officials, and the distinction between "knights", "officials", "ranks" and "honors" had already matured in the Tang Dynasty.

"The lord is used to determine the dignity and humility, and the official is used to divide the duties. The rank is used to describe the labor, and the honor is used to describe the merit. ”

In the Ming Dynasty, the lord was a duke, a marquis, and an uncle, and there were sons and men in the early Ming Dynasty, and they were not used later, and they were used again after the Renwu Dynasty.

The post is the general soldier, the general, the guerrilla, the garrison, and the general, which is equivalent to the actual position, and directly corresponds to the specifications of the army under management.

The rank is the governor, the commander of the capital, the commander of the envoy, the thousand households, the hundred households, and can be regarded as some form of military rank.

The Commander is the Pillar State, the Protector, the Light Car Captain, the Cavalry Captain, the Xiao Cavalry Captain, the Flying Cavalry Captain, the Cloud Cavalry Captain, and the Martial Cavalry Lieutenant, which is equivalent to the medal.

Titles, official positions, ranks, and honors are clearly distinguished from each other, and this set of management plans is very mature.

Officials work according to their official positions, pay according to their ranks, and pay rewards according to their ranks.

However, this system is also a bit too complex and strict, and there will be great differences between the status treatment of different systems.

If the official position is higher, the official rank is not necessarily high, and if the official rank is higher, the official position is not necessarily high.

To give an inappropriate example, there may be a situation where the "commander of the regiment of a major general" meets the "commander of the colonel's division".

Who do you respect when two people meet?

Even if the system stipulates that official rank or official position prevails, there will be various disputes and troubles in actual use.

Therefore, in the later Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, this system was optimized and adjusted for more practicality.

The tradition of separating "posts" and "ranks" from official ranks has been gradually established, with official positions as the mainstay and official ranks as supplements.

It is mainly based on official positions to determine the benefits and benefits, but the official rank system still continues to exist as a differential auxiliary to the same official position.

If a person's official position is promoted, the official rank will also be directly promoted to the corresponding level in the near future.

If a person's official position is never raised, the official rank will also stop at a stage, stuck in an upper limit and cannot be promoted again.

For example, if an officer is promoted to division commander, the rank will be promoted to colonel in the next assessment.

If an officer's position is regimental commander, then his military rank can only be promoted to colonel.

In this way, there will be no situation where the regimental commander has a higher rank than the division commander.

If a person does a good job in the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Works, and has served two terms, and the secretary of the Ministry of Industry is not yet of retirement age, it is impossible to directly promote the waiter to the secretary.

However, you can add a grade to the waiter, so that the waiter of the Ministry of Industry of the third grade can enjoy the treatment from the second grade, and the next time he is promoted, he will also start from the second grade, rather than the third grade.

This kind of system design was still running as a matter of course until Zhu Jingyuan's previous life.

Unfortunately, due to the impact of foreign culture, it has been distorted and even regressed.

In that chaotic era when people with lofty ideals were looking for a way to save the country, all forces abandoned the local self-evolved rank system, either in order to clarify their determination to break with the past, or to learn more thoroughly from the Taixi system, or to avoid being infected by the old system.

That rank of nine grades and eighteen ranks could have been regarded as the final version of the military rank and rank system evolved locally in Shenzhou.

It is the simplest and most convenient for the average person to understand.

Children all know that it is proportional to the vice-big, the first product is bigger than the second product, and the uneducated big head soldiers can also understand it directly.

It is not easy to generate confusion and misunderstandings.

It is impossible to confuse the numbers of the first and second grades to indicate the rank of the military with the actual official positions of the governor and the chief soldier.

The nineteenth grade and eighteenth level also have enough capacity.

Only by adding the four levels of the school captain and the four levels of the big upper, middle and lower four ranks, can a total of sixteen levels be made, but in fact, there are usually only eleven or two levels.

In the system of nine grades and eighteen levels, if one product is taken out as an additional title, there is still a complete sixteenth level left.

However, by the time the New Army was established at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the old bureaucratic system of the Qing Dynasty had completely decayed.

At that time, in order to avoid being affected by the original system and personnel, the person in charge took this opportunity to start a new business.

Due to the strength of the Taixi countries, the successive system reforms since the end of the Qing Dynasty naturally refer to the Western-style military rank and bureaucratic system.

Since the Japanese learned the Taixi people earlier, and the official positions were usually kanji.

Therefore, many systems and names are borrowed from Japanese translations.

However, if we put aside the level of industry and simply look at the perfection of the bureaucracy itself, the Western-style military rank system is at most at the level of the early Ming Dynasty, which may not be as good as it.

The arrangement of the school captain to increase the upper, middle and lower looks very simple and regular, but it is actually a perfect finished product after local adjustment.

The original meaning of the military ranks of the Taixi countries is actually similar to the meaning of commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief, division commander, brigade commander, regiment commander, deputy regiment commander, battalion commander, captain, and deputy captain.

It is the same as the system of the governor, the commander, the commander, the thousand households, and the hundred households.

Not to mention, how to simply distinguish the captain and deputy captain in these ranks from the captain and deputy captain in actual positions.

Just talking about a Captain, in the naval system, it refers to the captain of the capital ship, and the corresponding translation rank is Colonel.

When he arrived in the Army, the Captain became a captain, a company commander, a centurion, and the corresponding translator rank was Captain.

However, the Taixi people also figured out a similar plan to Shenzhou, when the American Navy admiral served as the captain of the ship, no matter what the actual military rank was, he would directly become the Captain of the Colonel.

Therefore, Zhu Jingyuan once envisioned changing the military rank back to the nineteenth rank and eighteenth rank while retaining the existing military attache official position.

At the same time, the traditional system of dispersing officials with honors was restored, and a set of medals was produced at the same time.

But is it really necessary for you?

If I just "like it", I can change the name of something that has been around for a long time.

It is necessary to change the name that has formed a solid tradition and is not problematic.

This is definitely not a good thing for the rest of the emperor, right?

The last Ming Emperor to change his name everywhere was Jiajing.

He still did it purposefully, in order to consolidate and enhance his authority, and at the same time to determine the obedience of the officials in the court.

See if the officials will obey themselves in such a matter.

Zhu Jingyuan does not need to be tested now, and there will definitely be no official who will refuse his order to change his name with his neck stilted.

However, if they really do it, the officials and the people may not say it on their lips and on the surface, but they will definitely complain in their hearts and in private.

Moreover, the military rank system of generals and lieutenants is also working quite well.

After all, it has been tested by two worlds.

Although it doesn't seem as intuitive as the nineteenth grade, this system comes with a certain sense of honor, and when you reach a major general, you can be called a general.

The nineteenth grade and eighteenth level are actually really not used up......

Looking back, when Emperor Shizu established this system, the purpose should also be to distinguish it from the old military rank.

Establish a new set of systems and rules that you have complete control, and then gradually break down and incorporate other systems.

Since it is necessary to distinguish it from the original system, the general captain system that he was familiar with in his previous life is the best reference object.

When he used the name of the Military Aircraft Division, he probably didn't think about it carefully.

The military organization he set up, in the traditional context of China, is indeed suitable for using the word military aircraft.

Moreover, the title of the Minister of Military Aircraft also sounds more important than the staff officer, who should have reminded the ancients of the staff.

Emperor Shizu's decision-making should be practically oriented.

In the eyes of later generations, he really turned the tide at that time and rebuilt the Ming Dynasty quite smoothly.

But when he himself was just beginning to build up his strength, it must have been very chaotic and bumpy.

Theory combined with practice, and screened while acting, and finally built the current system.

If you think about it completely calmly, there is really no need for you to go to great lengths to change your name for the sake of feeling comfortable.

For the bureaucracy, simply changing the name is a meaningless official business.

An earlier emperor who particularly liked to change his name was called "Wang Mang".

Zhu Jingyuan thought about it for a long time.

I feel that if it is a new organization that I have set up by myself, I can choose a special name according to my preference.

Anyway, it was built from nothing.

Just like when choosing the era name, he directly avoided Datong and chose Dagong specifically.

There is no need to change the original name of the institution.

The name of the Military Aircraft Department is not particularly obscure.

Moreover, Emperor Shizu's use of the Military Aircraft Department is more in line with its original intention than that of the Military Aircraft Department in the middle and late Qing Dynasty.

At the same time, the staff officers of the low-level troops of the Ming Dynasty were indeed directly called staff officers.

The Military Aircraft Department is a joint meeting of the top staff officers, which itself carries the significance of quantitative change producing qualitative change.

At the same time, the military ministers of the Ming Dynasty are actually divided into two categories.

One group is actually working, aged between forty and sixty, with military ranks ranging from major general to marshal.

He is responsible for the design of the alignment and strategic plan, the preparation of the plan into an official document, and the day-to-day work such as budget verification.

The other group is advisory in nature, which are retired senior military officers who are only responsible for providing strategic ideas.

It is to let the retired veteran generals and marshals who still want to participate in strategic planning play their spare time.

The status of these veteran generals is transcendent, and their status has been raised again.

It also allows the Military Aircraft Department to have the function of training and exchanging some top generals.

If the new emperor comes up and changes the Military Aircraft Department to the General Staff, it may cause the civil and military officials to have the misunderstanding that the new emperor will lower the status of the Military Aircraft Department, and even reduce the status of the military attaché and the army.

With the world at peace for more than a decade, the military is most worried about this direction.

It just so happens that the civil service system has always had a tendency in this regard, and Zhu Jingyuan is still the prince who has received great credit because of the peace talks.

Zhu Jingyuan's reputation among the people is not full of martial virtues, and he will even be considered too benevolent by the radicals.

After Zhu Jingyuan thought about it so carefully, he felt that he should not toss about meaningless names for the time being.

Even if you really have to toss in the future, you have to do it after completing the adjustment of your official position.

Therefore, after thinking a lot in his mind, Zhu Jingyuan finally put this matter behind him for the time being, and began to deal with the resignations of the senior military attaches step by step.

First of all, the staff officers of several big food countries were arranged to work in the military machine.

Pull in a few more senior officers from other regions who have dealt with them to give advice.

Admiral Qiu Lianggong, who was once in charge of cooperating with the acceptance of the Chesapeake Peninsula, with the rank of admiral.

Lu Junde, an army general who was once responsible for cooperating with the reception of Long Island, has the rank of general.

Zhu Zhaoxie, the overseer who was once in charge of the Xintianfu Atomic Energy Project, has the rank of general.

Zhu Guangjun, the army overseer who was in charge of handling the Quebec incident, has the rank of lieutenant general.

Then adjust the core layer of the Chinese military governor's office, which is responsible for the defense of the homeland.

"Zhu Jianyan, the naval superintendent of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion, was promoted to marshal and promoted to the Governor-General of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion."

"Yang Yuchun, the army governor of the Houjun Governor's Office, was promoted to marshal and transferred to the Central Army Governor's Mansion and the army governor."

Zhu Jianyan was a naval overseer from Xiangwangfu, and once led the first two-aircraft carrier formation in actual combat exercises.

At that time, he also went to Xintianfu and was inspected by the then Emperor Zhu Zhongliang and the Prince of Great Food Zhu Jingyuan.

He accompanied Zhu Zhongliang and Zhu Jingyuan to visit the new aircraft carrier and carrier-based aircraft at that time and gave explanations.

Zhu Jingyuan had an impression of him, and it happened that his qualifications and age were sufficient, and he happened to be directly promoted to marshal and served as the governor of the Chinese military governor's office, which was responsible for the defense of the homeland.

Yang Yuchun is fifty-nine years old this year, and he is also a celebrity in the original history, and he also served in the Dashi area of the Right Army Governor's Mansion.

At the beginning, the Ottomans withdrew from North Mozhou, and the Ming Dynasty's annihilation of the local Barbary pirate forces was commanded by Yang Yuchun.

Yang Yuchun's subordinates had a habit at that time, as long as they officially launched an attack, they would no longer accept surrender.

The point is that he doesn't like to accept foreign captives, and the cities he takes are basically empty.

Therefore, Yang Yuchun's reputation overseas cannot be said to be bad, it can only be said to be very bad.

Especially in some areas of North Mexico, it can already be regarded as a demon full of evil and can stop children crying.

His promotion has not been affected, and now Zhu Jingyuan still makes him the governor of the capital.

He is also the most honorable governor of the Chinese military governor's office.

According to the current military system of the Ming Dynasty, in a state of peace, the governors of the five major governors are in real office, but the five major governors are all ineffective.

The Viceroy had an independent and clear person in charge of the political affairs of the entire Governorate.

The metropolitan governor is usually concurrently held by the governor of the main local service, and the actual jurisdiction in peacetime is limited to the local military branch except for inter-service exercises.

But the Metropolitan Governor is indeed the most prestigious position in the military system.

The Ming Dynasty did not have a metropolitan governor who oversaw the entire military branch, nor did he have a metropolitan governor who oversaw all the prefectures.

Only the emperor is the governor of the three armies and the governor of the five armies.

The duties of the Military Aircraft Department are to cover the three armies and the five major prefectures, but they can only provide plans and suggestions, which can only be handed over to the five military governors for implementation after being approved by the emperor.

The highest position that a normal officer can obtain is the Grand Governor of a single Prefecture.

To obtain this appointment is to be recognized by the current emperor and to have the rank of marshal.

Before the reform of the civil service system and the establishment of Dayu and Jiuqing, the rank of marshal in the military attache system was also an honorary title.

Usually when the general retires, the emperor gives him an additional canonization.

After the establishment of Dayu and Jiuqing, in order to correspond to the promotion of the status of military generals, the marshal also corresponded to the actual military rank.

The Metropolitan Governors and Governors of the Five Metropolitan Governors and the New Heavenly Mansion were originally given the rank of general, but now they are all given the rank of marshal by default.

At the same time, once the Ming Dynasty fell into a foreign war, and a battle with a foreign enemy broke out in the area under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office, the Governor could obtain the temporary command of the three armed forces in the area under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office after obtaining the temporary authorization of the Governor's Army.

When the Emperor receives the news, he will give a formal command authority, or appoint another commander to take over the command.

In other words, the Metropolitan Governor is responsible for dealing with emergencies and sudden battles.

Zhu Jingyuan knew that Yang Yuchun was really able to fight, and he was still a lucky general in the original history.

I have fought all my life, I have not been injured once, and there is no scar on my body.

The experiences of this life are usually legendary, and so far there have been no injuries.

Presumably, the matter of cleaning up the Barbary pirates is not only not a sin, but a merit.

Under the Metropolitan Governor, the five major Metropolitan Governors have three military governors: the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force.

The military governor was originally a lieutenant general by default, but now he can be a lieutenant general or a general, depending on seniority and age.

Zhu Jingyuan retired the current naval governor of the Chinese Military Governor's Office, and promoted Chen Huacheng, the current deputy naval governor, to the chief naval governor.

and then transferred back Guan Tianpei, the naval governor of the Great Food Country, and the deputy naval governor of the military capital of the Chinese Military Governor's Office.

Chen Huacheng was a military accomplisher when he was young, and when he was just thirty years old, he was promoted to the rank of colonel.

In Yinzhou, he cooperated with Zhu Jingyuan's plan to take over the American line of defense and stop Napoleon's bicycle blitzkrieg.

Although he is only forty-four years old this year, on the basis of the colonel, he has accumulated fourteen years according to his years, and under normal circumstances, he should be promoted to lieutenant general.

Zhu Jingyuan has always been very generous to this kind of general who has passed the verification of two generations.

This time, he was directly promoted to another level, directly mentioned to the rank of general, and by the time he was in his fifties, he should be able to become a marshal, and he would be given the title of earl after retirement.

Guan Tianpei is younger, only 39 years old this year.

Also accumulated basic merits during the world wars, and at the age of twenty-four he was already a major pacification.

According to the accumulation of fifteen years, he is also eligible to be promoted to major general.

The key is that Guan Tianpei is also Zhu Jingyuan's first full-time head of the military attache.

Later, according to Zhu Jingyuan's plan, a naval fleet was established from scratch in the Great Food Country.

Zhu Jingyuan now directly gives him the rank of lieutenant general, and lets him merge the navy of the Great Food Country into the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army and become the deputy governor of the navy.

In the end, Mu Yongfu, the contemporary Duke of Qianguo, was transferred back from overseas to serve as the Governor of the Air Force of the Governor of the Chinese Army, and his military rank was promoted to general.

Mu Yongfu was originally an army and was once responsible for receiving the Chesapeake Peninsula, and he could be regarded as working under Zhu Jingyuan.

His status and qualifications are completely sufficient to be the military governor of a metropolitan governor's office.

Zhu Jingyuan's adjustment of the top level of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion has ended here, and most of the other officers should still do what they should do.

Then the application for the retirement of the governor of Xintianfu Huangzhuang was approved, and the overseer Zhu Xueyuan, who was once responsible for organizing the all-out suppression of the Boliwa forces, was taken over, and the rank was also promoted to marshal.

Chen Shaohong, who had left some impressions, was promoted to the rank of lieutenant general.

Among the official positions of other overseas governors, if there are high-ranking generals who are transferred to the positions left by the Chinese military governor's office, the governor's office will propose candidates according to the process, and after being reviewed by the corresponding three military departments, they will be submitted to the emperor for approval before appointing.

All other officers of the Governor's Office who have not been adjusted will remain as they are for the time being.

At the bottom of the army's recital, there is a recital of the East and West Factory and Jinyiwei.

Both the East and West Factories and the Jinyi Guard belong to the military attache system in a broad sense.

The governor of Dongchang is named Qian Xing, who is not yet of retirement age, and he has no fault before, so he will continue to stay in office.

However, the governor of Xichang was already sixty-four, and Zhu Jingyuan approved his retirement.

Then he appointed Lü Liang, who had been on a business trip in Yinzhou, as the new governor.

It was time for the commander of the Jinyi Guard to retire, so Zhu Jingyuan asked the commander of the Jinyi Guard of Ying Tianfu to take over, and then promoted Han Tiezhu, who had been the captain of the guard in Mengxian County, the Great Food Country, to the major general and went to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard of Ying Tianfu.

The officers of Zhu Jingyuan's own personal guard were still the soldiers of Guan Tianpei's subordinate who originally followed Zhu Jingyuan.

Ordinary soldiers were selected from the children of immigrants from the Great Food Country, the children of Daming Airlines, and the children of the Great Food Garment Company.

Zhu Jingyuan's own industry has always been at the forefront of the world's treatment of workers and stewards.

The whole family of these people worked in Zhu Jingyuan's industry.

It is most reassuring to use the children of these people as their own personal guards.

Now hand over the Ying Tianfu Jinyi Guard to Han Tiezhu, and hand over the local garrison to Yang Yuchun and Zhu Jianyan.

Zhu Jingyuan's control over the armed forces of the Ming Dynasty is relatively solid.
