My Daming New Empire

Liu Jiang nodded and asked, "Excuse me, Your Highness, what is a system?"

"To put it simply, it is the departments with different functions that form an effective management strategy and form a whole, which can be called a system. In the Ming Dynasty, there was the emperor, and there were courtiers. The soldiers ruled outside, and the ministers ruled inside. It is a big system. The mouth controls eating, the eyes control seeing, the ears control listening, the mind controls thinking, the hands control holding, and the feet control walking. This is also a system.

When it comes to the navy, the military system, fleet organization, combat organization, strategic planning, budget, policies and decrees, officer promotion, and logistics management are all different departments, forming a set of effective management levels, which is also a system. "

"That's the law?"

Zhu Zhanji thought for a while, nodded and said: "Although this statement is like a blind man feeling an elephant, it cannot be generalized, but it also has this meaning. To make the navy unite as one, there are orders from the top, and the bottom must follow, so the law is very important. But the formation of an effective management system is not just a matter of abiding by laws and regulations. An army, the most important thing is how to exert the combat effectiveness of the army.”

Hearing what Zhu Zhanji said, Liu Jiang's last trace of worry disappeared.Because since ancient times, laymen lead experts, and what they value most is obedience.

In order to make the soldiers obey, they broke the rules and disrupted the management of the army.Although the replaced people will be more obedient, but the combat effectiveness of the army has plummeted.

As a veteran, what Liu Jiang is most worried about is that his grandson will formulate some unrealistic systems in order to gain power, but now that he can clearly see this, Liu Jiang is no longer worried.

But within three days, Liu Jiang also felt tremendous pressure to figure out this strategy and combine it with the actual situation.

Because there are still many places in this strategy that he doesn't understand.

Zhu Zhanji's naval strategy draws heavily on the structure of the U.S. Navy.Because the current Ming Dynasty, like the United States in later generations, implements a typical military and political system, with separate military orders, and its administrative management and operational command systems are relatively independent.

So this is not that the US naval system is better than that of Britain and France, but that it is more suitable for the current Ming Dynasty.

In Zhu Zhanji's plan, the highest administrative leadership of the Ministry of War has the power of personnel and finance.

The Naval Command will have more powers in the early stage, and can formulate strategic planning, combat plans, policies and laws, daily training and logistics management and other matters.

But this is because Zhu Zhanji is in power in the navy today. If he is not in the leadership of the navy, some powers will still be transferred to the Ministry of War to form effective constraints on the naval command.

Therefore, some of today's institutional settings, institutional functions, and powers are still somewhat confused.

This is because these powers are in the personal hands of Zhu Zhanji, not the Navy Command.

Chapter 100 Birthday

The ninth day of February is Zhu Zhanji's birthday.

On his [-]th birthday last year, Zhu Zhanji was on his way to the north, and only his servant gave him a bowl of longevity noodles.

This year, the Zhang family wanted to hold a big event, but it happened that Zhu Gaochi's old illness relapsed, which made Zhang's thoughts of organizing it no longer.

Zhu Zhanji didn't know whether Zhu Gaochi was so sick in the original history, but now, Zhu Gaochi is a sick basket.

Although he was sick every day and every day, although he couldn't die, it also cast a shadow on the future of the civil servants who followed him.

As the great-grandson, although his father was bedridden and his birthday was no longer a big event, some close relatives still had to go to the palace to congratulate him.

Although Zhu Zhanji's Xingqing Palace is bigger, there are too many confidential documents in it and the defense is tight.

So after making some calculations with Mrs. Zhang, the birthday banquet was still held in the Wenhua Hall, which was also an opportunity to show the kindness of the father and the filial piety in front of the foreign ministers.

Zhu Gaochi's emotions towards Zhu Zhanji's son are very complicated. First of all, Zhu Zhanji has been close to his grandfather since he was a child, and his personality is also similar to his grandfather's.

However, he had to admit that this son was even better than he expected.Although there are some differences between father and son in their attitudes towards literati, there is no fundamental contradiction.

Moreover, this son was very popular among the lieutenant officers and nobles, so he also won the favor of a large number of soldiers, which was tantamount to weakening the power of Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu.

Now that his crown prince is in a stable position, it has to be credited to this son.Since the globe came out, Zhu Di started to support this grandson vigorously, and Zhu Zhanji went to the army to practice again, and now he is even more powerful than him.

All of this made Zhu Gaochi happy, but also disappointed.Because against the background of this son, his father, the prince, is a bit too ordinary.

Zhu Zhanji came to Wenhua Hall early this morning, personally served Zhu Gaochi to take the medicine, and then asked Mrs. Zhang to sit down by the hospital bed, and kowtowed three times to them respectfully.

Looking at her son who is only 17 years old in front of him, but taller than ordinary people by a head, Zhang's heart is full of satisfaction.

Her husband's health is not good, and he has a good sex, so for her these years, all she has left is to maintain the face between husband and wife.

Her husband can't be counted on, but her son can be counted on, so she naturally shifted most of her thoughts to her son.

After the visit, Mrs. Zhang left the father and son to talk to each other, and started busy with the noon banquet.

The emperor sent someone early in the morning to say that he would come to the banquet today, so there must be no mistakes.

Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Gaochi also told in detail about the formation of the navy. Although Zhu Gaochi has no love for the military, he also knows the importance of the army.Patiently listened to Zhu Zhanji talk about the arrangements in various places, and told him not to underestimate the morality of the army.

The so-called moralization is the political and ideological work of later generations, and Zhu Zhanji certainly knows its importance.

He also patiently explained to Zhu Gaochi that the navy will set up a stability maintenance system in the army. From the headquarters to every warship, there will be at least one moral teacher who will not only write letters for soldiers who cannot read, Also responsible for moralization work.

Zhu Gaochi was also quite satisfied with this.His ideal country is a country of sages and sages where everyone can read and understand etiquette, righteousness and shame.

When we arrived at Sizhong, that is, at ten o'clock, the inner eunuch informed Mrs. Peng Cheng that Mrs. Peng Cheng had arrived.

Zhu Gaochi has always had some headaches for this mother-in-law who has always been familiar and generous.She regards the palace as her own home, and always likes to make irresponsible remarks.

However, she is not a confused person, he just uses this attitude to support his daughter, not to provoke the majesty of the royal family, so he often only uses some small things to show his existence.

Even Zhu Di likes this eldest sister very much. In the royal family, where everything is hidden in his heart and everything is calculated behind his back, such a straight-hearted relative can bring fresh feelings.

Zhu Gaochi didn't want to listen to Mrs. Peng Cheng's nagging, so he pretended to be exhausted, and ordered: "I'm not feeling well. I need to rest for a while, and I won't see Mrs. Peng Cheng. After the luncheon, I will wake up again. Ji Er, go and entertain Uncle Peng for me." Ma'am, don't neglect her."

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "Mrs. Uncle is my grandmother and a close relative. How can Zhanji neglect it. Father, please rest at ease. When the emperor's grandfather comes, I will ask someone to call you again."

When she came to the side hall of the front hall, Mrs. Peng Chengbo was not disappointed that Zhu Gaochi refused to see him. Instead, she took Zhu Zhanji's hand and asked him how he got along with Sun Xian with a little self-examination.

Sun Xian was shy and hid behind Zhang's back, not even daring to show her head.Zhu Zhanji talked with her for a while, and after hearing the announcement that Ding Guogong and his wife had arrived with their relatives, Mrs. Zhang took the female relatives to the apse.

Uncle Pengcheng, Zhang Chang, Uncle Hui'an, Zhang Sheng, and their respective children remained on the side of the main hall.

They are all honest people, and Zhu Zhanji also took good care of his dutiful cousins. After greeting them, he went to the gate of the main hall to welcome Ding Guogong's family.

Dingguo Gong Xu Jingchang is 15 years older than Zhu Zhanji. He is in his early thirties this year and looks talented.Because of his father's relationship, Zhu Di took care of their family the most.

But this person is a complete dude, a rice bug from the Ming Dynasty.For Zhu Zhanji, who is all about profit, this person is of no use, so naturally he won't take it to heart.

He fawned on Zhu Zhanji several times, and he also knew that Zhu Zhanji's treatment of him was all because of Empress Xu's affection.

For this reason, he is also quite distressed, especially now that Zhu Zhanji has controlled the navy and nearly one-fifth of the Ming Dynasty's army. With more power, he wants to curry favor with Zhu Zhanji even more.

Zhu Zhanji's birthday is also a good time for the nobles to socialize. He also brought a few of his own children. Although the first one looked childish, he had a hulking back. After a little tempering, he became a general.

After the two parties saw the ceremony, he and Zhu Zhanji's two uncles also greeted affectionately, and let his wife Jiang go to the apse with the servants.

As soon as Mrs. Jiang left, before he could sit down, he said to Zhu Zhanji: "Your Highness, Jingchang came here today to ask for something other than congratulating His Highness on his birthday."

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "Mr. Dingguo is polite, but he has orders, and Zhanji will do his best."

The Duke of the State is already the highest-ranking honorable family in Ming Dynasty, and further up, there is only the prince of the Zhu family, the county king.Zhu Zhanji hadn't been in power yet, and Xu Jingchang, his cousin, didn't have to be so polite to him if he hadn't held great power.
