Chapter 1255
I heard Emperor Chongzhen say to them: "Now my Ming Dynasty no longer only pays attention to the surrounding areas, and I will definitely go on expeditions to other places in the future. In this way, all the ministers should understand that fighting across oceans will be commonplace..."

Hearing what he said, the courtiers in the Wenhua Palace all turned their attention to the Americas.According to the emperor's wishes, the focus of future wars is likely to be this place.And there is an ocean between this place and Daming.

Some even thought a little deeper, such as Sun Chuanting, who turned his attention to the land on the American side.If Daming occupied America in the future, he was sure that the emperor would look at Xiyi's lair again.

Just as they were thinking, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly raised his voice and said seriously: "I have decided that in the future, the Ming army will be divided into two armies, namely, the army and the navy. The navy and army governor's mansions will be added. Replacing the existing Dudu's Office of the Five Armies. In addition, the Army's Primary Armament Hall and the Navy's Junior Armament Hall will be set up throughout the country, which are under the control of the Army Duty's Mansion and the Navy's Dudu's Office respectively. The Ming Advanced Armed Forces Hall will be set up in the capital, divided into sea and land. I'm in charge."

The highest government office in military affairs was the Metropolitan Governor’s Mansion when the Ming Dynasty was first founded. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang changed it to the Grand Marshal’s Mansion, then the Privy Council, and then changed it back to the Metropolitan Governor’s Mansion until the 13th year of Hongwu. It was changed to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

But now, Emperor Chongzhen has raised the status of the previous navy to become a navy that can be paralleled with the army, and the establishment of the Navy Commander's Mansion is unprecedented.In addition, the Five Army Dudufu merged into the Army Dudufu, which has almost the same meaning as the previous Dadudufu.

After hearing this, Shen Yongmao, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, felt his heart tightened, and immediately went out to play and said: "Your Majesty, isn't this Army Governor's Mansion the same as the former Great Governor's Mansion? The Taizu once said that power is not dedicated to one department. For this reason, the Taizu divided the Governor's Mansion into five parts. Now Your Majesty wants to abolish the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies? Your Majesty, please be careful when doing this!"

Logically speaking, the whole world belongs to the emperor, and the emperor decides what to establish and how to allocate power.As a courtier, one cannot blatantly intervene in the deployment of power.However, since it was a matter of his own interests, Shen Yongmao immediately played it tactfully, intending to oppose it.

Civil and military disputes have a long history.

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty and until the Tumu Fortress Change, although it was divided into the Five Army Commander's Mansion, the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion was still above the Ministry of War.However, during the Tumu Fort change, all the honorable generals, those with prestige and ability, all died in battle.At that time, Yu Qian, Minister of the Ministry of War, turned the tide and defeated Mongolia first.It is also because of this that Yu Qian took all the power of the Dudu Mansion to the Ministry of War.

At that time, due to the highly concentrated military power, Yu Qian had great prestige in the army.It can be said that during the Jingtai period after the civil engineering change, Yu Qian actually controlled the military power of the Ministry of War and the military command and management power of the Five Armies Dudufu, and his power was greater than the sky.

Under this background, even if Ming Yingzong is not restored, I believe Yu Qian will not die well, because the military power in his hands is too great.However, it was also because of Yu Qian's operation that the rights and interests of the governor's office of the five armies declined, and eventually became a idle office.

However, in the Chongzhen Dynasty, the Emperor Chongzhen had actually taken back some power from the Ministry of War before, so that the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies would no longer be a decoration as before.But this matter was not stated on the surface.

Now, it’s okay for Emperor Chongzhen to add a new naval governor’s mansion, but he also needs to merge the five military governor’s mansions into one governor’s mansion. This made other civil officials frown when they heard this, and they were a little unhappy, and even a few people thought of it. That's right.

However, Emperor Chongzhen did not give them a chance to speak, and immediately replied to Shen Yongmao: "Now the national conditions are different, just like this time and that time! In the days of Taizu, there were still remnants of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty in the southeast and northwest of the Ming Dynasty, and rebels in various places were still to be conquered." The military operations are frequent, so the country is divided into five regions, which are under the command of the five military governors. But now, the territory of Ming Dynasty is very different, and there are no enemies in the country, so it is no longer necessary to divide the five military governors. Shen Qing What do you think?"

Although Emperor Chongzhen seemed to ask for Shen Yongmao's opinion, he didn't give Shen Yongmao a chance at all, and immediately said in a firm tone: "Based on the current situation in Ming Dynasty, the Dudu Mansion has been restructured in this way. But I decided to Under the Army Commander's Mansion, there should be another Western Regions Protectorate and Southwest Guards to deal with Tsarist Russia and the Mughal Empire. In addition, I emphasize again that the Commander's Mansion is in charge of military power, while the Ministry of War is in charge of military deployment. The ownership should not be confused .”

The so-called military command power refers to daily affairs such as commanding the army and training the army. In short, it is the power to command the army.As for the right to deploy troops, in case of war, the emperor issued an order to the Ministry of War to dispatch troops to a certain general to command the troops, and at the same time issued a seal letter.At the end of the war, the commanding officer handed over the seal to the court, and the troops returned to their stations.

The separation of the right to command troops and the right to deploy troops ensured the separation of military power and prevented the possibility of self-respecting troops.

When Shen Yongmao heard this, the power of the Ministry of War seemed to be returning to the past.You must know that the Ministry of War has the right to deploy troops only after the emperor's decree.He was a little anxious, but when he was about to speak, Emperor Chongzhen was really domineering. Before he was given a chance to speak, he was already saying: "Among the armies, the new army system must be followed, and there must be supervisors at all levels." However, in the future, the supervising army below the division supervisor will be selected and appointed by the Ministry of War."

When it comes to the national army, even if all the eunuchs of the inner court are sent to serve as military supervisors, it may not be enough.What's more, if you want to be a supervisor, you also have requirements.To be able to read and write, to be able to do ideological work, and to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, not just any eunuch will do.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen was going to leave the selection of the supervisory army to the Ministry of War to solve the problem of insufficient supervisory troops.Otherwise, Emperor Chongzhen would have to decree to cut off the things that countless men have, so as to expand the team of supervisors, and this is obviously impossible.

However, as the highest-level supervisor in the army, Emperor Chongzhen did not delegate power, and it was still in the hands of the inner court.There is no problem with the number of supervisors provided by the inner court.

Taking the new army as an example, everyone knows how much the role of the supervisory army is and how much power the supervisory army has.Shen Yongmao wanted to speak and distinguish several times, but was blocked by Emperor Chongzhen, and he was already a little depressed.At this moment, after listening to it, I heard that the Ministry of War can select the supervising army, and for a while, I forgot to argue.

Supervising the army, in fact, is similar to the previous patrol, it is to supervise the army.But now, in an army, there are a lot of patrols, all from the Ministry of War, which seems to be good.You must know that in the future, the confirmation of military achievements and the promotion of generals must have the opinion of the military supervisor.

After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he looked at the Minister of War and asked again: "What do you think Shen Qing?"

When Shen Yongmao heard this, he came back to his senses and knew that he had no confidence to argue with Emperor Chongzhen. After thinking about it, it was almost the same, so he had no choice but to reply: "I have no objection!"

This time, the meeting in front of the Wenhua Palace started from the discussion on the train, to the occupation of Japan, to the Americas, to the reform of the military system, the division of arms, the renewal of the highest military office, etc., which is simply dazzling.However, I have to admit that these aspects are all related, and it affects the whole body.

Obviously, this meeting must have been planned by Emperor Chongzhen for a long time.The courtiers in the Wenhua Palace wanted to express their own suggestions, and even opposed some of the decisions.However, this series of combinations are all new things, and I can't figure it out for a while.

When I figured out a little bit, I found that even the Minister of the Ministry of War agreed with the emperor's decision.At this time, if we want to talk about this matter again, it is a bit suspicious of a dog biting a mouse.The most important thing is that the emperor showed his determination, that's what he must do.Under the power of Emperor Chongzhen, none of them raised any objections on the spot.

What these people in the Wenhua Palace didn't know was that Emperor Chongzhen originally wanted to make another decision, which was to completely abolish the military household system and change it to a military recruitment system, requiring everyone in the Ming Dynasty to have the obligation to serve in the army, that is, to be a conscript.

But he thought about it for a while, and let it go, let's not mention it.Today's meeting can be regarded as raising the status of the warriors of the Ming Dynasty a little bit, and they are no longer controlled by civil officials like before, and they are the dogs of civil officials.

Emperor Chongzhen believed that many people would envy the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who continued to receive awards for their military exploits in the future.Slowly, if he raised his status as a warrior, and when most of the common people in Ming Dynasty no longer discriminated against warriors, if he ordered to serve as a soldier, there shouldn't be much resistance.But right now, it is impossible.

It is not a matter of overnight to achieve a balance between civil and martial arts!

After Emperor Chongzhen finished talking about these things, he stood up, thought of something else temporarily, and said to the Minister of the Ministry of War: "Shen Qing, the supervising army selected by the Ministry of War must be able to teach Ming soldiers to read. Usually there is no battle to fight, no When the task is ready, the supervising army has to work hard to teach literacy, understand?"

"Your Majesty obeys the order!" After Shen Yong Maoshun echoed it, he felt a little awkward and added, "Your Majesty, it seems... It seems that since ancient times, few warriors can read and write!"

He couldn't even say it clearly, not to mention since ancient times, Man Gui, whom the emperor admired the most, was blind before.

Although the supervising army in the new army did teach the new army officers and soldiers to read and write, it seemed a bit exaggerated to promote this matter within the army of the whole country.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "The army in the future will be different from the army in the past. Literacy will be the basic requirement. In the future, if we establish an air force again, these Ming soldiers who fight in the air must be at least similar Only at the human level can it be done.”

"..." Hearing these words, the top officials of the Ming Dynasty in the Wenhua Palace were stunned.

It is not difficult to understand the title of the army, and the navy will also be used, and the navy on the sea is upgraded.But all of a sudden, the emperor proposed the air force to fight in the air!Is this a heavenly soldier?You have to have the level of Juren, this...is this imaginable?

Among them, some people had heard the speeches made by Emperor Chongzhen when he toured Yingtianfu in the south last year, but they were just hot air balloons.But now I have heard the emperor say this with my own ears. In the future, an air force will be formed. This is really unimaginable for Ming people in the seventeenth century.

Emperor Chongzhen saw their expressions on the throne, but he didn't want to leave. He sat down again and said to the courtiers with a smile: "Why, don't you believe me? I said before that science and technology can change the future. , only unexpected. I can bet in front of all my lovers that in my lifetime, Daming will definitely have an army that can fly in the air. However, it is indeed a pity that there may not be many lovers among you. Qing can see it. Of course, I will urge this matter and develop technology as soon as possible, hoping that more people can see it in their lifetime..."

Hearing his words, most of the courtiers in the Wenhua Palace felt their hearts ached.

Your majesty, you are young, can you say such words to provoke people?

But the heartache is heartache, all of them got a strong reminder from the emperor's words, that is, the emperor has absolute confidence to build an army that can fly in the sky through the development of technology.

But after much deliberation, it seems that I still can't imagine it!flying in the sky...

Alas, I really want to see Daming's Heavenly Soldiers and Generals!
Emperor Chongzhen didn't seem to think that the hearts of these old officials would be hurt so much. In order to prove his point of view, he said: "It doesn't matter if you don't see that day. In the future, there will be many technical arms in the army and navy. These You must also have knowledge. Well, at least you must be at the level of a scholar. For example, a steam engine ship, oh yes, artillery is actually counted, you have to learn a lot, it’s not good to be blind!"

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen stood up again, and raised his voice: "All in all, it will be a trend for all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to be literate in the future. The responsibility of supervising the army is heavy and has a long way to go. Shen Qing, the task of selecting the supervising army It's heavy, you know now?"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Cao Huachun and Wen Tiren and said, "The cabinet and the supervisor of ceremonies will draw up an imperial decree as soon as possible, and I will announce it to the world after reviewing it. I will announce the candidates later. I still have something to do Busy, let's go first."

"Your Majesty, go back to the palace!" Fang Zhenghua, who was following, saw him and immediately announced in a sharp voice.

Many courtiers in the Wenhua Palace, after Emperor Chongzhen left, it was you who looked at me, and I looked at you, and they didn't recover from what Emperor Chongzhen said.After a long time, the chief assistant Wen Tiren retreated first, and when he walked in front of Sun Chuanting, Minister of Trust and Officials, he stood down again.

"Is there something for the chief assistant?" Seeing this, Sun Chuanting asked politely, bowing slightly.

Wen Tiren looked at him, sighed and said, "It's good to be young!"

After speaking, turn around and leave!
