Chapter 505: Rectifying the Court (2)

As soon as Liu Yan beckoned, Xu Ming took out a document, which was the reform strategy of the imperial court drawn up by Liu Yan himself.

Immediately, Xu Ming began to read it out and informed the ministers of the specific reform.

Today, the Ming Dynasty is in charge of the authority of the world with six departments, of which the household department is the top priority, in charge of the world's money and grain, acres of land, household registration, silver coins and other affairs.

In the strategy, the household department of the imperial court was divided into three parts: the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Agriculture, which actually moved the establishment of the shogunate to the imperial court.

Liu Yan appointed Zhao Min, the head of the household department of the shogunate, as the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the imperial court, in charge of the household registration of the people and military households in the world, the implementation of new education, and no longer in charge of money, grain and agricultural affairs.

Yue Ming, Minister of Finance of the Shogunate, was appointed as the secretary of the Imperial Ministry of Finance, responsible for the budget review of the Ming Ministry, the year-end audit, the management of the bank, the implementation of silver coins, and the collection and allocation of money and grain.

Zhang Lei, the head of the shogunate's Ministry of Agriculture, was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Imperial Court, responsible for the grain tax per mu of the world's people's fields, the management of military tun, the reclamation of wasteland, and the construction of water conservancy.

Jiang Dejing, Chen Xinjia, Wang Chengen and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, Liu Yan directly divided the household department into three in order to control the imperial court, and then promoted the officials of his shogunate directly to the position of Shangshu, and completely controlled the financial and tax power of the Ming Dynasty, what is this going to do?

But what shocked everyone was far more than that, Xu Ming continued to read out the plan for the reform of the government.

In the strategy, the original soldiers were divided into the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Equipment: the Ministry of Defense was only responsible for the recruitment, drill, and new army of soldiers and horses in all parts of the Ming Dynasty

The management of the school was managed by Tian Huixu, the head of the shogunate's military department, as the secretary of the Ministry of National Defense.

The Equipment Department is responsible for the management of the Firearms Supervision Office, the Armor Supervision Office, and the Lingshanwei Shipyard, and is responsible for the building, research and development, allocation, and storage of the Ming Army's armaments.

In addition, Liu Yan also had to add a new staff department, with Chen Xinjia as Shangshu, shogunate staff officers Li Jiwen and Hu Zongming, and Jiang Dejing, the former first assistant of the cabinet, as staff officers, and recruited the minister of knowledge and soldiers as a squire, responsible for formulating the military strategy of the Ming Dynasty and taking charge of troop transfers.

In this way, Liu Yan divided the military power of the Ming Dynasty into three, the right to command troops belonged to the Ministry of National Defense, the transfer of troops and the formulation of strategies belonged to the General Staff, and the armament belonged to the Equipment Department. In the future, the commander-in-chief and governor-general of all localities will only have the right to lead troops, and as for the supply of equipment and the examination of strategies, these powers will be returned to the imperial court, so that the doctors can effectively prevent the occurrence of the situation of supporting the troops and respecting themselves.

Of course, this kind of operation will also lead to the same result as the Song Dynasty, that is, the combat power of the army will decline, and various institutions will fight each other.

However, Liu Yan also has a solution, that is, he will vigorously popularize firearms in the Ming army, and in the future, the Ming army will all refer to the model of the new army to rectify, and use equipment superiority and tactical superiority to offset the reduction in combat strength caused by the system.

The Ministry of Commerce was added, with Song Gongming, the head of the shogunate's Ministry of Commerce, as the secretary, responsible for the operation of various industries of the former shogunate.

Liu Yan "handed over" all the industries under the shogunate to the imperial court, and all the proceeds were transferred to the treasury of the Ministry of Finance.

Of course, these money grains though are

It was handed over to the imperial court, but now this imperial court is controlled by Liu Yan, and it still has not been able to get beyond Liu Yan's control.

With Song Gongming becoming the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce of the Ming Dynasty, the original heads of various industries have also risen, and Tan Xiaoda, the director of the Firearms Supervision Department, Xu Le, the director of the Bingjia Supervision Department, and the former Shogunate Division, all of them are set at the level of squire, and the following firearms workshops, gunpowder workshops, quarries, mining bases, etc., are all at the level of outsiders.

The new Ministry of Health, headed by Bao Xuezhen, the head of the Shogunate's medical department, was responsible for establishing medical centers in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, developing health services, preventing and controlling plagues, training medical craftsmen, and developing medicines for the army.

At the same time, Liu Yan's strategy also rectified the North Town Fu Division and the South Town Fu Division, merged the South and North Divisions into the Military Intelligence Department, and appointed Wu Guojin, the director of the Shogunate Intelligence Department, as the secretary.

The internal structure of the Military Intelligence Department still retains the structure of the North and South and the Suppression Division, with the North Town and the Department of Suppression and Pacification deterring neighboring tribes and countries externally, and the South Towns and Departments monitoring hundreds of officials internally, all of which have various functions such as investigation, interrogation, arrest, and assassination.

As for the shogunate, Liu Yan decided to abolish the shogunate's Ministry of Political Affairs, and the minister Wang Wenzhen was reappointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and the former secretary of the Ministry of Officials was reappointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Works.

The shogunate deployed the secretary of the department, Cheng Shang Wenyuan, as the secretary of the criminal department.

At this point, the reform of the various ministries of the imperial court came to an end for the time being, and the personnel and functions of the Ministry of Rites, the Imperial Historical Observatory, and the Honglu Temple remained unchanged for the time being.

But after Xu Ming read out the strategy, Liu Yan looked at the hundred officials who were still in shock and couldn't extricate themselves, and said coldly: "Taizu set the ancestral system of the imperial historian's words and words, and the original intention was good, that is, to let the civil and military officials be monitored at all times, so that the hundred officials cannot

Corrupt and pervert the law, so that traitors cannot bring disaster to the country and the people. ”

"It's just that to this day, the imperial historians in the court and the central government all take it as their responsibility to die without shocking words, and they don't care about the truth of things at all, and they don't care about state affairs, they only care about selling their reputation, only fighting for their own fame, and only to fight political opponents, so it is chaotic politics!"

"Therefore, this duke has set a rule: from now on, the thirteen yamen of the imperial history platform must be able to come up with tangible evidence to impeach the ministers of the central government and the local civil and military officials, and they must not hear about rumors, attack dissidents, or disrupt state affairs, otherwise they will be punished severely!"

As soon as these words came out, the government and the opposition shook.

Those imperial historians looked at Liu Yan with complicated expressions, these officials originally had no real authority, and they could occupy a place in the court, relying on the power of impeachment, but now this power has been restricted by Liu Yan, will there be a place for the major affairs of the court and China in the future?

At this time, Liu Yan looked at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, some people were lost, some people were excited, some people were stunned, some people were thoughtful, and there were all kinds of officials, and the hall fell into an unusual silence.

"In addition, this duke also has an order: now in addition to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the five temples, there are a total of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Equipment, the Ministry of Staff, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Military Intelligence, the Ministry of Commerce, and thirteen ministries.

It was also from this day that the title of the thirteen Shangshu of the Ming Dynasty spread, although in the future Liu Yan carried out a series of reforms to the ministries, the number of each ministry

The amount has also increased or decreased, but as a title, the Thirteen Shangshu is also used by the common people, and it is used as a synonym for cabinet ministers. That's for later.

At this time, in the main hall, Chen Xinjia and Jiang Dejing looked at Liu Yan with complicated expressions, the results of the two were quite good, at least in the reformed court, they still occupied an important place.

But the rest of the ministers are different, with the expansion of the six departments to thirteen, the squires and foreign ministers of each ministry will have a big change, and a large number of officials of the shogunate under Liu Yan will enter the imperial court as officials, and many officials of the original six departments will be abolished, and there will inevitably be many people who have a grudge against Liu Yan.

But Liu Yan doesn't care about this, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, all reforms must shed blood, the key is whose blood is shed!

Liu Yan is ready to kill, as long as Huaxia can break out of the predicament, killing is also a necessary process.

"The reform of the imperial court is like this, the rectification of all ministries must be completed within two months, during which the city of Beijing must be under military control, and everyone must take military orders first."

"Two months later, the capitals, prefectures, and counties of the Ming Dynasty and the 13 provinces of the Ming Dynasty will be reformed step by step, and the original six Cao will also be reformed into 13 Cao, and the specific rectification strategy of the local government will be issued to the prefectures within a month for implementation!"

Everyone was shocked by Liu Yan's measures again, and Jiang Dejing couldn't help but stand up and say: "Ge Lao, the matter is big, is it now implemented in Beizhili and Shandong, see how the results are, and then promote it to the whole country?" ”

Liu Yan said categorically: "It is because of the big stakes that this public will directly implement it nationwide." I am not afraid that you will know that this new set of policies will be suppressed

Land annexation, the recovery of the occupied military farmland, the restriction of the powerful and the inferior, the prohibition of officials from doing business and buying land, the importance of industrial and commercial development, the dismissal of military officers, the rectification of the soldiers and horses of the world's guards, the restriction of the self-respect of the generals, etc., each of these will cause turmoil, and each of them will lead to a sea of corpses and blood! ”

"Therefore, the New Deal must be promoted across the country at the same time, and cannot be implemented slowly, otherwise those who block the New Deal will have time to respond and obstruct the implementation of the New Deal!"

Listening to Liu Yan's words, Jiang Dejing, Chen Xinjia and the Manchu Dynasty were all frightened, Liu Yan is going to be the enemy of the squires, heroes, and officials all over the world, is he looking for death?

But when everyone saw the soldiers of the New Army staring at the main hall, thought of Liu Yan's invincible record, and thought of Shandong, which had been built like an iron bucket by the New Deal, everyone knew that Liu Yan was by no means looking for death, and maybe Liu Yan really had the ability to carry out this New Deal.

Even if the New Deal reform fails, Liu Yan still has the retreat of Shandong, which is where Liu Yan's confidence lies!

Liu Yan saw that Jiang Dejing no longer spoke, Chen Xinjia was also silent, and there was no more opposition in the court, at least on the surface, so he said: "Today's court discussion is over here, you are waiting for the reform of the shogunate ministries, disperse!" ”

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military left the hall with a lot of concern, Chen Xinjia and Jiang Dejing looked at Liu Yan, and they also left with a lot of worries.

Wang Chengen walked up to Liu Yan at this time and said worriedly: "Elder Ge, is this really feasible?" How can the miscellaneous family's heart keep jumping, it's just not down-to-earth, no matter how good this new deal is, but no matter how you look at it, it is also the root cause of the trouble

Yes! ”

"Scourge?"

Liu Yan said coldly: "Under the implementation of the new policy, there will definitely be trouble, and my father-in-law will treat those troubled people as sacrifices for the rebirth of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Wang Chengen was terrified and left the hall in despair.

At the same time, at Shalingdun, 80 miles west of Shengjing in Liaodong, Dolgon, Duoduo, and Daishan led the remnants of the Manchu Qing army of nearly 70,000 to arrive here and set up camp in the cold wind.

On the platform of Shaling Pier, Dolgon, Duoduo, and Daishan looked at the wilderness to the east, and beyond their eyes was Shengjing, the capital of the Qing Dynasty, and the final destination of the three of them.

"Prince Rui, the news sent by the scouts behind the arrangement I arranged that Your Majesty's entire army has been wiped out, Prince Su, Anping Belle, Prince Zheng, Rao Yu Belle, and King Wuying County have all been killed in battle, as well as the Mongolian two yellow and two blue banners, the Mongolian tribes of the outer domain, and the banners of the Han army, all of which are all finished!"

Dolgon listened quietly to Dai Shan's report, and his face became more and more ugly, and Duoduo next to him turned even more pale, this battle was too badly defeated.

Dai Shan suddenly looked at Dolgon and asked, "Prince Rui, is the price of our doing this too great?" ”

Dolgon glared at Dai Shan fiercely, and said with a hideous face: "I know Liu Yan better than Huang Taiji, since Liu Yan appeared, the war has been different from the past, and my Qing Dynasty Manchu and Mongolian iron cavalry are useless, only to train the new army like Liu Yan is the only way out for my Qing Dynasty!" Could it be that Prince Li thinks that I led my troops to withdraw and threw His Majesty and them to Liu Yan really to compete for the throne? No! I can even give up the throne, what I want is the change of the Qing Dynasty, I want

It is the Qing Dynasty that can enter the Central Plains! And these are things that only I can do, so Huang Taiji must die! ”

"Thank you to the book friends and saplings all over the world, Dongxian is working hard to code words and dedicate more wonderful stories to everyone."
