The Military Affairs Department has jurisdiction over: staff, logistics, recruitment, ordnance, military law, ideological and educational departments, etc.
The Staff Section is responsible for cultivating staff officers, forming a staff team, and making suggestions for future wars.
After all, it is always a good thing to have multiple people deliberating.
The Logistics Section is responsible for military logistics dispatch and transportation, as well as military pay distribution and other issues.
The Recruitment Section is responsible for recruiting soldiers and training new recruits.
The Ordnance Section is responsible for ordnance replacement, updating, design, testing and other issues.
The Military Law Section is responsible for military laws and regulations and maintaining military discipline. It also has a gendarmerie under its jurisdiction, which is responsible for punishing offending soldiers and supervising battles on the battlefield.
The functions of the Si Education Section are similar to those of the Propaganda Section, except that one is for civilians and the other is for the military.
If the propaganda section’s propaganda is to beautify Zhu Hongyu and the Liberation Army!
The purpose of Nasi Education is to deify Zhu Hongyu and the Liberation Army, and to instill in the soldiers ideas such as loyalty to the emperor, patriotism, and nationalism, so as to ensure the loyalty of the army ideologically.
Of course, it corresponds to the Quanxu Division of the Internal Affairs Department.
The Military Affairs Department also has a merit examination department that is responsible for calculating military merit, determining promotions, appointments and removals, changes in military ranks, and adjustments to positions.
In fact, just by looking at Zhu Hongyu's arrangement of powers for various departments in the Military Affairs Department, we know that he is going to take action on the issue of excessive powers of lieutenants and generals in the army.
The establishment of the Military Affairs Office can divide the power of the leading generals to a great extent.
Let generals from now on only have the power to command troops and not to deploy troops. Use mature systems to fundamentally eliminate the possibility of generals taking over their power.
A general loses the power to independently recruit soldiers, loses control over logistics, loses the power to promote and appoint officers, loses control over the distribution of military pay, loses the power to enforce military law, loses the power to manufacture his own ordnance, and supplements the army.
needed power...
Besides being obedient, what else can he do?
If you want to solve the problem of military generals being domineering and causing chaos in the country, emphasizing culture over military force is simply not the answer.
Emphasizing culture over military affairs has no use at all except affecting the combat effectiveness of the army.
During the heyday of the dynasty, the imperial court was very powerful. Even if the imperial court did not emphasize culture over military affairs, which general would dare to rebel?
Are you so stubborn?!
But at the end of the dynasty, when the power of the imperial court declined, wouldn’t the generals stop being domineering and causing chaos just because they valued civility over military affairs?!
If we want to fundamentally solve the problem of military generals being domineering and causing chaos in the country, we still have to rely on systems.
Through the system, the authority in the hands of military commanders is divided, so that military commanders only have the power to command troops and have no power to deploy troops. In this way, they will naturally not be able to cause chaos even if they want to.
The empirical evidence is that in the 21st century, excluding those small countries with unstable political situations, have the major powers had any trouble in their military?
Zhu Hongyu chose to take action now because he had specifically chosen the time. He felt that taking action now could avoid causing trouble to the greatest extent.
The Liberation Army had just won a great victory, and Zhu Hongyu's prestige was so high that no one dared to stab him in front of him.
And with a large number of new soldiers entering the camp, the Liberation Army's control over the army has been weakened to the extreme.
In addition, the peace talks with the Spanish were successful, and foreign troubles were temporarily eliminated.
If Zhu Hongyu doesn't start to reorganize the army and divide the authority of the generals now, when will he wait?
Should we wait until the army becomes bigger, there are many factions in the army, and the mountains rise together before we take action?
What's more, the generals of the Liberation Army are all uneducated miners, and they cannot see Zhu Hongyu's intention to reorganize the army and establish a military affairs office.
I'm afraid that if Zhu Hongyu didn't say it himself, they wouldn't realize that Zhu Hongyu was restricting their power.
Zhu Hongyu wants to divide the authority of the generals. Is there any better time than now?!
After deciding on the official system, Zhu Hongyu began to think about the appointment of officials.
There were not many talented people under the rule of the Liberation Army. Even if literate Chinese came to serve, it would not be enough to have corresponding talents in charge of each position in the internal affairs and military affairs departments.
Even whether it is possible to fill all the vacancies in official positions one carrot at a time is still unknown!
All Zhu Hongyu can do is try his best to arrange talents into suitable positions.
Thinking about personnel appointments, Zhu Hongyu rubbed his eyebrows.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Zhu Hongyu raised his head and said, "Come in."
But he was thinking in his mind that the person coming should be Li Lingxiu.
But after the door was pushed open, it was Kaya who came in.
Zhu Hongyu suppressed his curiosity and asked.
"Kaya? Why are you here?"
Kaya lowered her head, holding a wooden basin in her hand. She didn't have much wildness in the day, but she was a bit shy like a little daughter.
"Sister Lingxiu said that it is a wife's duty to dress and wash her husband!"
"We are getting married soon, let me get used to it in advance!"
Zhu Hongyu asked curiously.
"Did Lingxiu ask you to come?"
Kaya shook her head and said.
"No, no, I stole Sister Lingxiu's job and wanted to serve my husband myself!"
Zhu Hongyu just nodded slightly and said.
"Put your things down. You and I are not married yet, so you don't have to do this!"
If it was Li Lingxiu who came, Zhu Hongyu would not refuse because the two were already very familiar with each other.
But as for Kaya, the two of them had not met a few times in total, and Zhu Hongyu was a little embarrassed to accept her service.
Kaya looked hesitant and said.
"But……"
Zhu Hongyu shook his head and said.
"It's okay, you go and rest first!"
"After this period of time is over, our wedding should be put on the agenda!"
What Zhu Hongyu wanted to do was not to get married, but to organize the wedding together with the inauguration ceremony of the military government.
Since he has made up his mind to establish a military government, a ceremony is inevitable.
Only when your name is right can your words be obeyed, and only when your words are obeyed can things be accomplished!
…
On the second day, Zhu Hongyu personally went to the military camp to take charge, claiming that he wanted to inspect the military training situation.
In fact, it is to implement the reform of the Ministry of Affairs!
The result was just as he expected. After he spoke about the reform of the Military Affairs Office in front of everyone, no one really understood what he meant.
Or maybe I understand but don’t dare to show it!
But that's not important!
Anyway, the reform of the Military Affairs Office was implemented without any surprise.
After settling the reform of the Military Affairs Office, Zhu Hongyu was not idle and decided to inspect the training of the new recruits.
The reason why he came to the military camp was that he wanted to inspect. You can't just come to the military camp and be busy with meetings and reforms. In the end, you don't even see what the new recruits look like, right?
Even if you are acting, you have to do a complete set!
Accompanied by the generals of the Liberation Army, Zhu Hongyu entered the new barracks.
The new recruits are practicing in accordance with the drill. The chants of "one, two, one, one" are heard, and the sound of neat footsteps is heard continuously.
The first thing a recruit should do when entering the camp is to walk forward!
Zhu Hongyu personally stood on the rostrum and watched the new recruits walking.
Rows of new recruits walked past the rostrum, holding their heads high and walking in unison.
Accompanied by the chants, the footsteps hit the ground with a crisp and loud sound, followed by waves of neat slogans.
"Drive out the Tartars, restore China, rebuild the Ming Dynasty, and revive China!"
"Drive out the Tartars, restore China, rebuild the Ming Dynasty, and revive China!"
