Preparing for War

"I am thirty-three this year, and my only ambition in life is to unify the world and save the people from war."

In fact, it is not only ambition, but also ambition.

Lu Zhi frowned and said, "The people have just lived a good life for two years..."

"There will be good days in the future, but if the Sima family is not destroyed, I will have trouble sleeping and eating. One day Sima Yan will lead hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Guanzhong, and the people will suffer even more!" Yang Zheng has not forgotten Tongguan, and Wuguan is still in the hands of Sima Yan.

.

In the past few years, the enemies around Da Qin have been destroyed one by one. All the soft persimmons have been pinched, and it is time for a tough one.

"I'm not saying to go out now, but the army and people of the Qin Dynasty should be prepared!" Yang Zheng just wanted to tighten the curse.

Wei Guan smiled and said: "You were born in sorrow and died in happiness. Your Majesty rose from Xiping back then with only a few thousand soldiers and only a few generals."

Linghu Sheng's eyes were slightly disappointed.

Lu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, to have a stable environment in the past two years, I have to thank Sun Hao for his jumping up and down and always having trouble with Sima Yan.

Now that Sun Hao is gone, Zhong Hui is so cunning that he will not easily intervene in the East-West War.

With Lu Kang stationed in Jingzhou, Jiangdong will be peaceful for a long time.

It is difficult to say that the target of the Central Plains will not shift to Guanzhong.

Instead of waiting for others to hit you, it's better to fight yourself.

"It is unlikely that there will be a big war in Jiangdong in the short term. I will transfer Du Yu back to Chang'an and promote Zhang Fu to the governor of Yizhou." It is enough to have Zhang Fu and Luo Xian in Shu, one operating in the rear and the other guarding in the front.

At that time, Luo Xian also defeated the coalition forces of Lu Kang and Bu Xie.

"Linjin Cang and Taiyuan Cang were set up to store grain, weapons and ordnance, and new types of thunderbolt chariots were built. Horse herding prisons were added in Chang'an, and fine war horses from the people, the Western Regions, and Mobei were purchased. Slaves from the Tuntian Division were organized into heavy troops, and the Chinese army and

The training intensity of the government soldiers has been increased, the Xuanyi Division is creating public opinion and promoting the unification of the world, and the details of the Central Plains have been doubled. I want all the news from the Central Plains." Yang Zheng finished in one breath.

If these measures are implemented, Qin's war machine will start.

In the past few years, everything was for people's livelihood, but later it will turn into war.

Pang Qing picked up a small notebook and quickly recorded it.

Lu Zhi closed her eyes and seemed to be thinking about the pros and cons.

In fact, under the influence of the Twelve Revolutions of Military Merit and the Land Equalization System, the Qin State had long ago turned into a huge war machine, and it was always controlled by Yang Zheng.

As the surrounding opponents were eliminated one by one, it was now the Central Plains' turn.

If it does not expand, it will inevitably involute.

The vigor of the Qin State will gradually decline, and it will gradually become like the Central Plains and Jiangdong.

The old group of powerful people have been suppressed, and new ones are growing.

"I second the proposal." Linghu Sheng was the first to hand over his hand.

Next came Wei Guan and Pang Qing.

Finally, there is Lu Zhi.

It has been more than eighty years since the Yellow Turban Uprising and the world was in chaos.

If they are together for a long time, they will be divided. If they are separated for a long time, they will be reunited.

It's time for unification.

If the Central Plains were Cao Cao and Sima Yi, Yang Zheng would recognize them and huddle in Yongliang.

But now that he has been replaced by Sima Yan, do we really have to wait for his stupid son Sima Zhong to take over?

"Three years! In three years, the Qin Dynasty will come out from the east and dominate the world!" Yang Zheng's heart was filled with excitement.

Yang Zheng understood Lu Zhi's idea, he wanted to accumulate more energy and send troops when he was sure of it.

But nothing is ever certain in the world.

Since the land occupation system refuses to decline, Yang Zheng can only forcefully suppress it and interrupt its upward momentum!

"Since Your Majesty wants to mobilize the troops to prepare for war, I suggest that the Five Cao Cao be promoted to the Fifth Division to enhance their authority and cooperate with Your Majesty!" Lu Zhi said, opening his eyes.

The five ministers are the Minister of Libu, the Minister of Wubing, the Minister of Tiancao, the Minister of Duzhi, and the Minister of Zuomin.

It was the prototype of the Three Provinces and Six Ministries.

In fact, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, China's heroes and famous ministers have been constantly reforming the official system to adapt to the world situation.

The prime minister, the chief minister, and the general have too much power. If they are entrusted to someone else, they will lose their power.

"Uncle, try your words!" Yang Zheng became very interested.

Qin inherited the system of Wei, and Wei inherited the system of Han.

Many departments have overlapping powers, resulting in slow administrative efficiency. For example, Duzhi Shangshu is in charge of the country's revenue and expenditure, but there are many overlaps in power with Zuo Min Shangshu and Tian Cao Shangshu.

The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Minister of the Five Arms have many overlapping powers.

The five soldiers refer to the central soldiers, external soldiers, cavalry, special soldiers, and capital soldiers.

But the Qin State only had Zhongbing, Fubing, and Yicon.

Local state and county soldiers are subordinate to the government soldiers.

There are too many things that need to be changed.

In the past, the Sima family crossed the river by touching Cao Wei, but now they have to go their own way.

It is very possible that Lu Zhi has been brewing this matter and only revealed it today.

"The Five Military Ministers were changed to the Ministry of War, the Minister of Tian Cao, and the Minister of Zuo Min merged into the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Personnel. The branches remained unchanged, and the Ministry of Industry was added." Lu Zhi had been immersed in officialdom for decades, so he was naturally familiar with all kinds of ills.

However, Yang Zheng has more say in this regard, "What my uncle said is very good. I suggest that Tian Cao, Zuo Min, and Du branch be merged into the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Husbandry, and the Ministry of Works, and then the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Rites be added.

!”

As for the three provinces, they have existed for a long time. The Zhongshu Supervisor is the Zhongshu Province, and the Shangshu Province follows the Shangshu Tai since the Han Dynasty.

The name of Menxia Province is Shizhong Temple.

Wang Yun reformed the eunuch system, eliminated the disadvantages of the ten permanent servants, and added more servants, filled with talents from the country, to serve the emperor.

The Wei and Jin Dynasties essentially pursued the politics of servants, where the emperor and his servants participated in planning and admonishing national affairs.

Shizhong transformed from an advisor to the emperor of the Han Dynasty to a real power, directly affecting the operation of the country.

Including the great generals and great sima, they were actually just senior servants surrounding the emperor.

Whoever the emperor trusts will have unlimited authority.

It is essentially a human system, not a system.

The status of the Five Cao is even lower, and their powers overlap in various ways.

Therefore, the Three Provinces and Six Ministries are also a major trend in history.

After listening to Yang Zheng's suggestion, Lu Zhi's eyes lit up, "Your Majesty is gifted with a divine opportunity, and I can't do it better than you!"

"This system is very wonderful. Each department can do its own thing, and no longer push each other's responsibilities or hinder each other." Wei Guan praised.

The Three Provinces and Six Ministries were almost a model of the ancient official system and had a profound impact on later generations.

The Qin State implemented a land equalization system and a government and military system. There must be a supporting framework, right?

With the six ministries, important ministers at the level of general, chief minister, and prime minister can be eliminated.

The biggest problem of this era is actually how to balance imperial power and ministerial power.

If the ministerial power is too great, it will inevitably suppress the imperial power.

But having too much imperial power is not a good thing.

Sun Hao is a living example.

The best system is to influence each other and check each other. Even if the emperor is average, the country can still run well instead of being ignored by powerful ministers...

From the Wei and Jin Dynasties to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, powerful ministers emerged one after another. The root cause was the shortcomings of the official system.

It was not until Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty established three provinces and six ministries that China became stable.

Yang Zheng originally wanted to push the three provinces out, but then he thought about it. The three provinces are restraining each other. Although it is good for balance, it is not conducive to the upcoming unification war.

It is better to wait until the world is unified before considering this matter.

Rebuilding the six departments is not a simple matter. The handover of each department, personnel appointment, adaptation, etc. all take time.

Yang Zheng also wanted to see if the six tribes could adapt to the conditions of Qin.

If a problem occurs in any small detail, it will be a nationwide man-made disaster.
