Chapter 37 Promoting the Reform of the Beijing Camp

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the purpose of this?"

When Ru Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, heard that Zhu Guanwen was going to set up a military aircraft department, he immediately stood up.

Just now I saw the two bigwigs of the household department and the official department go to the cabinet, and if you want to say that he is not red-eyed, it is fake.

Therefore, as soon as Zhu Guanwen said that the Military Aircraft Department, no matter what it is, as long as it is related to the military, he will definitely have his share.

"The Military Aircraft Department deals with the military of the whole country, and unlike political affairs, most of the military are more urgent, and I need military staff officers!" Zhu Guanwen explained.

"Then Your Majesty, where is this military aircraft department set up? Who is the candidate? ”

"The Military Aircraft Department does not set up a separate government, and after determining the personnel, it will assume the position of the Minister of Military Aircraft, and change the deliberations of the Wuying Palace!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Ru Yu's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly bowed her hand.

The rest of the military officials, as well as the generals, all echoed: "Your Majesty! ”

It can be seen that the civil and military officials in the Ming Dynasty are clearly distinguished.

In addition to major national political affairs, anything that has nothing to do with you will never stand up and take the lead.

Zhu Guanwen is very open to this situation.

After all, when you are an emperor, what you are most afraid of is the courtiers' one heart.

If the courtiers are all of one mind, then what is the use of the emperor? It has long been hollowed out.

With a sharp turn of thought, Zhu Guanwen waved his hand at Wang Zhong again: "Wang Zhong! ”

"The slave is here!"

Wang Zhong put the holy decree just now in the tray of the little eunuch behind him, took out another holy decree, and read it out in public:

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: military is a major event of the country, on the army to plan, I am not familiar with the military, when the master is the teacher, work together to govern the army, I have heard that the military department is still Ru Yu, Wei Guogong Xu Huizu, Rongguo Gong Mei Yin, Wuding Hou Guo Ying, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, Changxing Hou Geng Bingwen, Ning Yuan Hou He Fu, the military department of the Lang Qi Tai are all generals, have the ability to unify the army, special Geng, Xu, Mei, Ru, Guo, He, Li, Qi is the Minister of Military Aircraft, participate in the national military affairs!"

Zhu Guanwen set up a military aircraft department and separated the military and the government, which greatly stimulated the generals, and they were all red with excitement.

Some of them took the lead in shouting long live before the ministers of military aircraft could express their positions.

A group of Wenchen, their brows furrowed, wanted to stand up against it, but seeing that Zhang Zhen and Yu Xin, who had just entered the cabinet, did not express their position, they had to hold back.

In fact, the reason why Zhu Guanwen proposed the Minister of Military Aircraft after announcing the cabinet minister was to find this balance.

You can't get all the benefits, and others can't even drink the soup.

Which of these ministers in the court is not a human spirit, they naturally saw Zhu Guanwen's intentions, so they were silent.

By the time Geng Bingwen, Xu Huizu and others took the lead in coming forward to receive the order, the atmosphere had eased a lot.

Seeing this, Zhu Guanwen smiled and said: "I am very pleased that you Aiqing can assist me, but I still need to emphasize the operation of the cabinet and the military aircraft department, otherwise there will inevitably be a conflict between the two teams!" ”

When Qi Tai heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand towards Zhu Guanwen and said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to make it clear!" ”

Zhu Guanwen nodded with a smile and said, "The cabinet is handed over to the four cabinet scholars, and they must deal with important political affairs on the same day, and they can't stay until tomorrow, and they can select a group of people in the Hanlin Academy to discuss and assist." If officials are appointed and dismissed, the treasury revenue and expenditure, and in case of indecision, you can report to Wuyingdian! ”

"As for the Military Aircraft Department, it only does emergency military and strategic deployment consultations, and does not deal with daily military affairs, so the Governor's Office and the Military Department of the Five Armed Forces operate as usual and do not interfere with each other. If there is a war on the frontier, all the ministers of military aircraft must not delay for a moment and immediately go to the Wuying Palace! ”

"Do you understand?"

"Got it!"

The ministers understood the scope of responsibilities of the Cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department, and immediately bowed down to answer.

After Zhu Guanwen saw that the arrangements were in place, he directly announced the dissolution of the dynasty, and then returned to the Wuying Palace.

When the Ming courtiers were in power in Zhu Yuanzhang, the efficiency was good, and in the morning it was announced that the Wenhua Hall would be changed to the Cabinet Yuan, and in the afternoon, there would be cabinet ministers working in it.

And Daming was also under the auspices of Zhu Guanwen, which attracted new students.

Of course, the freshmen don't stop there.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Guanwen announced an important decision, completely abolishing the strict torture law during the Zhu Yuanzhang period, and pardoning a number of innocent people implicated in the Hu Weiyong case, the Lan Yu case, the Guo Huan case, and the empty seal case.

At the same time, it also exempts or exempts taxes in some difficult areas, and opens welfare homes to accommodate the elderly, the disabled, and some refugees and disaster victims who are unable to take care of themselves.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhu Guanwen summoned Li Jinglong, Geng Bingwen, Ru Yu, and Xu Huizu to discuss military reform.

"Your Majesty, the new roster you asked the minister to sort out, the minister has already sorted it out!"

In front of the other three, Xu Huizu took out a book and handed it to Zhu Guanwen.

Zhu Guanwen took it and looked at it, which recorded in detail the soldiers who could fight in Beijing, totaling 450,000.

In other words, it is a full 50,000 less than the original 500,000 army.

Although 50,000 is only one-tenth less than 500,000, this is a camp.

The situation in Beijing is like this, what will happen to the army over there?

After thinking about it, Zhu Guanwen put down the fold in his hand, and then said to the four new ministers of military aircraft in front of him: "Everyone, I plan to reform the Beijing camp, I don't know what you think?" ”

"This...."

The four of them glanced at each other, and then Geng Bingwen, the oldest and most senior, asked; "I wonder how Your Majesty plans to reform?"

"Disarmament!"

Zhu Guanwen directly threw a bombshell.

The four of them were shocked, and looked at Zhu Guanwen with stunned faces.

Zhu Guanwen said solemnly: "Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, I am not joking, I plan to build a trump card army, so I must strive for elite soldiers!" ”

"But Your Majesty, the matter of disarmament must not be!" Ru Yu hurriedly said.

"Why not?"

Zhu Guanwen frowned: "Ru Shangshu is worried about the opposition of those veterans in the army?" ”

"This is only secondary, the most important thing is the placement of those sergeants after disarmament!"

Xu Huizu sighed: "If you can't settle it well, there will definitely be a lot of trouble!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, disarmament will not work, I hope Your Majesty will be cautious!" Li Jinglong also stepped forward and agreed.

Seeing that the four of them stood up to oppose it, Zhu Guanwen shook his head helplessly, and then asked tentatively: "If I have a way to settle those dismantled troops, will you support me?" ”

Geng Bingwen was old and serious, knowing that the emperor could not be targeted for no reason, so he said curiously: "Dare to ask Your Majesty how to settle it?" ”

"I plan to set up a mining bureau to explore minerals across the country, and if high-quality ore veins are found and mined on the spot, these veterans who have been laid off can work in the mining bureau!"

"Your Majesty means, let them mine?" Li Jinglong asked a little strangely.

"There's a lot of work to be done at the Bureau of Mines."

Zhu Guanwen said: "For example, mining, exploration of ore veins, management of mines, freight, smelting, etc., as long as they work on time, they can be paid!" ”

"Then how many people does Your Majesty plan to lay?" Geng Bingwen asked tentatively.

"About 100,000 people!"

"What!?"

All four were startled at the same time.
