Chapter 449: Establishment of the Governor's Office
At present, the situation of the Japanese state is developing rapidly, and the military strength of the Kwantung pro-Tokugawa is completely lost in the invasion of the Ming Dynasty.
The newly recruited soldiers are all middle-aged and down-and-out samurai, the proportion of recruits is too large, the military discipline is sloppy, the combat effectiveness is very low, there is no pre-war morale at all, and most of them are ronins who eat military rations mixed with rice.
The opposite is true to the west of Sekigahara, especially the daimyo in the western plain and poor areas, who did not stop the Tokugawa shogunate from instigating hundreds of thousands of ronins to invade the Ming Dynasty, and now the order in the territory is better than before.
The Japanese country has a large population, with 20 million at this time, and the contradiction between man and land is second only to the Ming Dynasty.
These ronins in Kansai have gone and never returned, the landless peasants and ronins have decreased, although the Kansai daimyo also sent troops to participate in the war to invade the Ming Dynasty, and the losses were not small, but most of the people sent were conscripts and ashigaru, and the main force was still there.
Shimazu and Mori combined are 1 million koku, and although there is a big gap between the grain output and the 3 million koku of the Tokugawa core, the gap between the core military strength has narrowed.
The Kansai daimyo led by Shimazu and Mori were already dissatisfied with the Tokugawa shogunate, and they never forgot to fall the shogunate, and if the curtain was successful, they would redivide their sphere of influence, and it would be best to get the land of the pro-feudal domain, and at the worst they could get the land of the Pudai domain.
In addition, the descendants of the losers of the Battle of Kohara, the second generation of followers of the Toyotomi family, who also hated Tokugawa, saw hope at this time.
This information was transmitted to Wang Hongyu through Yan Siqi and the Shimazu family.
Wang Hongyu returned to the capital.
He and the British Minister Zhang Weixian first reported on the talks between the two countries with Prime Minister Ace Duck, which is related to the division of the world pattern, and the key issue of China's industrial upgrading, which has risen to become the world's largest power.
Because of the long duration of the negotiations, it was impossible to explain them one by one, so the minutes of the meeting were submitted to the apocalypse.
Apocalypse and the Cabinet Scholars were very interested, and carefully read them word by word, and it took seven or eight days to read the minutes of the meeting.
After reading it, he was greatly admired by Wang Hongyu's rich knowledge and negotiation skills, and also found that Han Jun, the governor of Zhili, was not only proficient in government affairs and military affairs, but also a master of negotiations.
Then Wang Hongyu submitted a request to the Emperor of the Apocalypse and the cabinet to establish a province of Baodao, after the imperial court had appointed Nan Juyi, the governor of Fujian, as the governor of Baodao, as the governor of Baodao, and it was imperative for Baodao to establish a province.
As for the personnel arrangement and construction of Baodao Province, the cabinet drafted a plan, and then approved by the apocalypse to implement it, Wang Hongyu no longer bothered about this time, this is the most taboo thing for foreign ministers.
It is a complicated matter to ask for merit for the meritorious heroes, generals and soldiers of the Southeast War, and to offer sacrifices and rewards to the soldiers who died, and it is necessary to verify and draw conclusions based on the more than one-year Liberation War of Baodao.
According to the order of merit: the five southwestern provinces are the first, and Wang Hongyu, the overseer, is the first;
Zhang Weixian, the British minister, and Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Fujian in Zhejiang, ranked second;
Shen Yourong, the general soldier of Zhilu, Nan Juyi, the governor of Fujian, Lu Qin, the chief soldier of Baoding, Yu Zhigao, the general of Fujian, Zhang Mingshi, the deputy general of the Hunhe Army, and Yan Siqi, an overseas Chinese living in the Japanese country, ranked third;
Han Jun, the governor of Zhili, Lu Qin, the general soldier of Baoding, and Hong Chengchou, the governor of Zhejiang, ranked fourth;
Qin Minping, Zhao Hannian, Qin Ling, and many other generals who participated ranked fifth, and there were promotions and rewards at all levels.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse is ready for a new appointment.
Fujian Governor Nan Juyi has been promoted to one level as the Treasure Island Governor; Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, was promoted to the governor of Zhejiang, Fujian, and Jiangxi and the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, and Shen Yourong, the general of Zhilu, was promoted to the commander of the East China Sea Navy.
Lu Qin, the chief soldier of Baoding, Yu Zhigao, the general of Fujian, and Zhang Mingshi, the deputy general of the Hunhe Army, were all promoted to one level; Qin Minping, Zhao Hannian, and Qin Ling were promoted to deputy generals.
The rest of the meritorious generals and military academies were promoted, and the imperial court rewarded 1 million taels of silver and distributed them to the armies participating in the war. Bereavement and commemoration were given to the families of the officers and soldiers who had died, and sacrifices were made to the officers and men who had died.
Wang Hongyu made a very detailed plan for the southern front to take Annam and Donghu, and this time submitted it to the Emperor of the Apocalypse and the cabinet for approval.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse straightened his waist, and he wanted to change the history of the Ming Dynasty since Yingzong to erect the imperial power, and he didn't learn it
Wanli was passive in confrontation, and it was not like hiding in the deep palace to do carpenter work in his previous life, and let Wei Zhongxian deal with Wenchen in front of the scenes.
After the apocalypse took over the throne, he has been fighting hard, and after suffering countless hardships for six years, he finally gained a firm foothold, and it was Wang Hongyu's birth that made him gradually stabilize his imperial power.
He saw the hope of the Ming Dynasty from Wang Hongyu, and now he has defeated the Netherlands, a maritime power, and defeated the Japanese kingdom that invaded the Ming Dynasty.
Now, it's time to change the status quo.
As a result, the British public Zhang Weixian entered the prime minister, not only continued to be the first martial artist of the Ming Dynasty, but also as a cabinet adviser, he could participate in the decision-making of the imperial court, which would definitely be confronted by civilian officials, and Zhu Youxiao was ready for a head-on confrontation.
This is the change of the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty in power, the status of the military attache has not appeared after the decline of the status of the British public Zhang Weixian, the status of the British public Zhang Weixian suddenly has the power to participate in political affairs, for the Ming court is of great significance.
However, Zhang Weixian was accordingly retracted from his rights in the Beijing camp. In and out of the general, since the phase, then the military power will be a little bit, as the head of the martial arts can guide the soldiers and horses in various places, but do not directly manage the troops.
This is a model released by the Emperor of the Apocalypse: The Emperor of the Apocalypse is going to change the status quo of the nobles and the military, he is weakening the rights of civil officials and using military generals to restrain civil ministers.
Zhu Youxiao did not go through the cabinet at all, so he promoted the British public to the cabinet as an adviser. The old Zhu family has won the world, and they can't let the civil officials continue to occupy it.
Without waiting for the cabinet to react, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao, appointed a new position to Wang Hongyu.
He really used his brains to set up a name to avoid the interference of Wenchen. The Governor's Mansion was set up, and the real power was like the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies during the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.
However, there is a clear difference with the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, which only has the right to command troops and does not have the authority to transfer troops, while the Governor's Office of the Levy Governor has the right to transfer troops, but it is only limited to foreign operations.
There is real power to mobilize soldiers and horses, and the scope of real power is the soldiers and horses who go abroad to solicit soldiers. The Emperor of the Apocalypse could not solve the problem of civilian intervention in the military at one time, and could only limit Wang Hongyu's power to foreign troops for the time being.
In fact, it was to control the power of foreign warfare in his own hands, the cabinet was not allowed to intervene, and there was no subordinate relationship between the conquest of the Governor's Office and the Ministry of War, and only the emperor had the right to control the conquest of the Governor's Office, which strengthened the emperor's control over military power.
The soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty who went abroad were of course subject to the decision of the emperor and the court. Then, normal operations, mobilization, and training were unified under the control of the Governor's Office.
Wang Hongyu officially increased the position of the governor of the left army of the Governor's Office.
