Chapter 366: Separation of Land and Sea
Wu Yongxian and Mao Wenlong thought of these, and the emperor had a sentence "the military and the people are in the water".
It's just that it's a bit ahead of its time to say this. The discipline of the Ming army was very unbearable in the past, and there was no shortage of looting and killing.
That is, after the town was opened in Dongjiang and the martial arts school was established, military discipline was constantly rectified. Because of the power of the Ministry of Justice, even the commander is not allowed to interfere. The judges of the town army are even more personally sent by the emperor and can report directly to the emperor.
Of course, even if military discipline improves, it is far from the people's army in the emperor's mind.
When Liaodong was rebuilt, the emperor just wanted to build the army again and have a closer relationship with the people.
Of course, whether the army is farming, building roads and houses, it has a record of meritorious points, or preferential policies to encourage it. For example, ten acres are given to one acre, or to family members, or they are counted together when they retire.
Therefore, there will be no resistance and grinding foreign workers in the army, and Mao Wenlong also feels that he will definitely be able to exceed the prescribed number. After all, if the task is completed well, it will be beneficial to the court and the soldiers.
"Thank you Mao Shuai." Wu Yongxian got the promise and guarantee, and arched his hand to express his gratitude.
No matter who commands the Liaodong army, they must act in accordance with the emperor's will, and Wu Yongxian is very sure of this. But it is also necessary to communicate in advance. The civil and military discord is very important to the emperor and will never allow it.
"Lord Wu is polite." Mao Wenlong returned the salute, thinking that even if he passed Wu Yongxian's level, the emperor should be satisfied.
The separation of military and political affairs seems to have freed military generals from the inhibition of civilian officials. But in fact, the final military salary, grain and grass still have to be solved by the local government, that is, controlled in disguise.
From the opening of the town in the Dongjiang River, military command, salary, and military law were separated, forming a relationship of constraints.
Now, with the reconstruction of Liaodong, Mao Wenlong can expect that the grain will gradually fall into the hands of local officials.
Buckling is unlikely. The emperor has been improving the social status of the soldiers, and with such an attitude, presumably no civil official would dare to disobey.
But the delay is also reasonable, as long as there are suitable reasons, such as a bad harvest, such as other difficulties, the court will not condemn the crime.
In short, good relations are beneficial and harmless. Mao Wenlong saw this very clearly.
In fact, Wu Yongxian and Mao Wenlong also had the same thoughts, and the emperor even mentioned his life. As long as Liaodong is governed well and the future is bright, he is also such a goal.
More importantly, Wu Yongxian knew the reason why he was appointed by the emperor as the governor of Liaodong, that is, he was self-aware.
After reading the two military books, I felt that I could strategize and win thousands of miles, and I felt that I should be above the martial artists. Just like Wang Huazhen, she felt that she was amazing, and in the end she was killed by her own arrogance.
Dare to claim that he is both civil and military, and he is genuine, Xiong Tingbi is one. He is not only a martial artist, but also a Wenjinshi. Go on the horse to manage the army, get off the horse to govern the people, who dares to say that it is not?
But in Wu Yongxian's opinion, it was Lao Xiong's combination of civil and military skills that he probably couldn't stay in Liaodong.
The reason is very simple, the real all-round man in civil and military affairs is still guarding the frontier, can the emperor rest assured?
"I heard that Banzai is going to change the system of awarding titles, I don't know if it's true or not?" Mao Wenlong and Wu Yongxian discussed for a while before asking tentatively.
Wu Yongxian smiled and said, "The official doesn't know the details, but Banzai does have this intention." ”
Mao Wenlong's eyes lit up, and he didn't ask any more questions, changed the topic, and chatted with Wu Yongxian again.

"Zhang Pan, He Kegang, Huang Long......" The emperor's pen paused, as if thinking, and then continued to add names, "Cao Bianjiao, Huang Degong......"
These are the generals who will stay in Liaodong, or Dongjiang Town.
As for Mao Chenglu, Kong Youde, and others, they will be transferred to the towns of the nine borders to strengthen the entire northern defense line.
Although he trusted Mao Wenlong, or rather trusted the current mechanism of supervision and restraint, the emperor did not want to leave Dongjiang Town with the environment and opportunity to establish a mountain.
Those who remain are loyal and brave generals that the emperor trusts more, and many of Mao Wenlong's cronies that the emperor thinks will be transferred.
I am not afraid that Mao Wenlong will have any resistance, maybe this arrangement makes him feel more at ease, without the suspicion of supporting the army and self-respect, and not worrying that Dongjiang Town will be attacked by civilian officials as the "Mao Army".
As for Mao Chenglu, Kong Youde and others, will they be dissatisfied?
After being promoted, he took the model troops, or the teaching team, to other border towns to become the main force in the fight against the northern captives, and had more opportunities to make contributions.
Besides, what does it matter if you are dissatisfied? Among the current generals of the Ming army, especially the generals of Liaodong, there are too many who can fight and are loyal, and the emperor is not worried at all.
"Emperor, Lord Sun is called to wait outside." Wang Tiqian didn't dare to disturb, until the emperor stopped and stood up straight, and then bowed down to report.
The emperor waved his hand and simply ordered: "Xuan! ”
Sun Chengzong entered the hall and bowed to him, but before the full ceremony, the emperor had already given him a flat seat.
"Hooray, when will the military department send out the transfer of generals and troops?" Sun Chengzong bowed down and asked for instructions.
The emperor picked up the transfer list he had written, and a palace person bowed down to take it and handed it to Sun Chengzong.
After Sun Chengzong quickly looked at it, he did not disagree. In his opinion, Pingliao succeeded, and these generals behaved very well. No matter how it is arranged, there is no major problem.
"Master Sun." The Emperor smiled and said, "How are the preparations of the Admiralty?" Now that the war in Liaodong has come to an end, it is time to speed up its implementation. ”
The navy is the emperor's new definition of the Ming Navy, and it can be seen from this new term that the emperor's emphasis on the navy is parallel to the army.
Sun Chengzong also knew that the emperor's favor for the navy was in full swing when the war in Liaodong was in full swing, and his investment in the navy had not been interrupted.
Although he didn't understand it very well, he felt that with the current strength of the Great Ming Water Division, it was enough to resist foreign enemies. But since the emperor wants to strengthen the sailors, the imperial court's finances also allow it, and the military department has no reason to obstruct it.
"Back to Banzai, the preparations of the Admiralty are being stepped up, but compared with the army, the selection of generals is more difficult." Sun Chengzong said truthfully.
The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "The navy has not had any actual combat in the past few years, and it is indeed difficult to judge the ability of young officers except for a few veterans. But I believe in Shen Yourong, so let's arrange it according to his recommendation list! ”
For admirals, the emperor is indeed very strange.
In his memory, in addition to Shen Yourong, who is already a sixtieth birthday, the Zheng brothers are more capable of fighting. But history has changed, and those former sea warriors have a few familiar names, and he is not easy to judge.
