The changes in the cabinet, the Ministry of War, and Ji Liao will certainly bring about many changes. First of all, in the cabinet, the voice of Gao Dang, the pragmatist school, has been relatively weakened. Although there are still two assistant ministers in the cabinet, due to the new appointment of Liang Menglong, Gao Dang
The First Department of the Party actually exchanged a Grand Bachelor of Wuyingdian for a Grand Bachelor of Dongge.
Of course, this weakening is not too big. After all, the composition of the cabinet is "our Ming Dynasty has its own national conditions." The first assistant has the strongest say, the second assistant is much less powerful, and the rest are all "group assistants". Although
There is not much difference in terms of seniority, but there is not much difference in the right to speak. It depends on each person's political influence. The problem is that Zhang Xueyan's influence is indeed stronger than Liang Menglong...
In general, the cabinet has been weakened a little, but the impact is not significant and the situation is under control. As for the Ministry of War, the real school or high party has further strengthened.
With the completion of a series of transfers, now among the five officials of the Ministry of War, only three are from the Gaodang family: Zhou Yong, Minister of the Ministry of War, Song Zhihan, Zuo Shilang, Han Ji, Zuo Shilang and Assistant Manager of Jingying Rongzheng, and two
The right ministers are all centrists. It can be said that the Ministry of War is basically the voice of the high party.
Here is a situation to explain. In terms of ranking and division of labor within the ministry, the Zuo Shilang of Han Dynasty in Song Dynasty is actually more like the "Executive Deputy XX" of the Red Dynasty. His responsibility is equivalent to "assisting the Minister of War to grasp the overall situation", so his ranking
Before Han Ji.
Han Ji's work has a clear tendency. Just like when Gao Jingshi was in this position, the position of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War exists as a basis for "associating with the military affairs of the capital". The actual work is mainly to assist with the affairs of the capital.
As mentioned before on the issue of camp and military administration - the assistant manager, the civilian "associate manager" completely overwhelms the "prime minister" above the military ministers in terms of real power, so Han Ji is now actually the official in charge of the Beijing camp.
After Gao Wu implemented the restructuring of the Beijing camp, the Beijing camp was divided into two, and a situation emerged in which the Imperial Guard and the Production and Construction Corps worked in parallel. From that time on, the power to assist in the military affairs of the Beijing camp actually took a leap: both the Imperial Guard and the Production and Construction Corps actually
His direct leadership also controls a powerful financial resource.
Therefore, in a sense, the real power of the Assistant to the Imperial Guard in the Rongzheng at this time has been greatly strengthened. Considering that the Ministry of War is one of the main positions of the real school, this position is considered to be controlled by Gao Dang by default.
.
Of course, judging from the current overall situation of the imperial court, this position must also be reserved for Gao Dang, because although Gao Pragmatic is in charge of the center, no one dares to guarantee that "opening the vassal ban" will be smooth sailing, in case there is an uprising somewhere.
Things like military rebellion, if the Beijing camp is not under the control or influence of Gao Pragmatic, big problems may occur.
Song Zhihan and Han Ji were both disciples of Gao Gong in the 44th year of Jiajing reign. Gao Pragmatic had been friends with them for almost twenty years. Although Zhou Yong was average in ability, he was more self-aware and his characteristic was obedience. Basically, this was
This ensures high pragmatism has a strong influence on the Ministry of War.
In terms of the official affairs department, in addition to Chen Yubi, the minister, who was favored by Gao Pragmatic Party, Tu Menggui, the left minister, was also a disciple of Gao Gong and a Jinshi in the 44th year of Jiajing. This can ensure that the official affairs department is also under the control of Gao Dang.
Judging from the above situation, Gao Pinggong was at the core of the most powerful departments in the imperial court, namely the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of War, which was enough to ensure that the reform of the Practical School could continue to advance, and this was exactly what the emperor needed.
If you look at the current cabinet and six central government offices, you can find a fact: among the current major ministers, Jinshi in the 44th year of Jiajing has become the mainstream.
As a target, most of the important ministers in the court were born in one or two subjects before and after this subject.
According to the political habits of the Ming Dynasty, the main group of important ministers next time will probably be from the class of the fifth year of Longqing, and it is hard to say for the future - if the iteration is fast, it may be the class of the second year of Wanli.
Section, but this situation is not common. Normally, it may be the subject of Wanli five years.
However, although seniority is the most critical criterion for ministers to become ministers, brilliant achievements may also advance the time to enter the minister group. For example, Gao Pragmatic is such a freak.
But in any case, any official of the Ming Dynasty - especially considering that the Ming Dynasty has been a two-hundred-year-old dynasty, so the role of qualifications is to a large extent more important than merit, so Gao Pragmatic has become a minister-level official.
Very, very exceptional.
In addition, he has only been a minister for less than a year. It is impossible for him to enter the cabinet from the minister in the short term, because doing so will have a great impact on the established "system" and may cause "lucky ministers" in the future.
Wanton".
To use an inappropriate metaphor, this is similar to the fact that it is basically impossible for a thirty-year-old deputy state-level person to appear in the Red Dynasty - you may be very capable and have brilliant political achievements, but if you promote one person and destroy the organizational system, that is
It is absolutely undesirable. Even if you are promoted under special circumstances, you can only do it faster than the average person. Maybe ten or fifteen years faster, but usually it is impossible to be faster than twenty years.
For example, Zhang Juzheng passed the Jinshi examination very early, at only twenty-two years old (his actual age). However, due to his excellent luck, in the first year of Longqing, when he became the junior assistant of Dongge University Scholar as an old minister of Yudi, he also
Already forty-two years old (actual age). In the original history, he became the chief minister because he had a high penis, but he was also forty-seven years old at that time - please note that this was a very rare young chief minister in the Ming Dynasty.
.
Therefore, the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty are obvious. Although merits should be rewarded, the key to being able to enter the cabinet is based on qualifications: in this qualification, the most important thing is the time and achievements when he became a Jinshi. The achievements are the basic items, and the key consideration is
Time; the secondary consideration is the time when he first became a Liubu Tang official (Shang Shu, Shi Lang), and does not include the pseudo Tang officials who were given foreign titles, such as serving as the governor with the title of Youdu Yushi or the Shi Lang of the Ministry of War, or taking the title of Minister of the Ministry of War.
Governor-General does not count; as for merit, sorry, that is the last item to be considered, and is usually only considered as a bonus item.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! According to this principle, generally speaking, at what period should Gao Pragmatic become a minister? It should be in the second year of Wanli or the fifth year of Wanli that a Jinshi becomes a minister.
At that time, it was the mainstream. And if Gao Pragmatism would make undisputed great contributions later, then it might be a period earlier, such as the period in the fifth year of Longqing's reign when the subject became the mainstream among important ministers.
This is the reality. Gao Jingshi knows it very well, and other officials also know it very well. Therefore, Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue and others will not worry that Gao Wuzhi will be able to join the cabinet now, and Zhang Xueyan will not consider recommending Gao Jingshi to replace him if he resigns.
At present, everyone has their own predictions. Although the emperor definitely hopes that Gao Pragmatic will join the cabinet as soon as possible, no matter how early the time is, it should be after Chahar's decisive battle with Gao Pragmatic leads a major victory or a decisive victory, and before that.
It is definitely impossible, and Gao Pragmatic will definitely not accept it, lest he be regarded as a "lucky minister" by the world.
The situation in the center is generally the same. After this round of local adjustments, great changes have occurred, especially in the Jiliao direction.
The most direct impact of Li Song's rising tone was that the Xin School nominally controlled a total of 360,000 elite border troops!
The issue of the strength of the border troops has been mentioned before. The current situation of the border troops is roughly as follows: Liaodong has 180,000 troops, Jizhou has 180,000 troops, Changping has 60,000 troops, Xuanfu has 130,000 troops, and Datong has
There are 120,000 soldiers, Shanxi has 70,000 soldiers, Baoding has 40,000 soldiers, Yansui has 40,000 soldiers, Guyuan has 60,000 soldiers, Ningxia has 30,000 soldiers, and the total strength of the ten towns is as high as about 910,000. Add to that
There are 60,000 imperial guards in the Beijing camp, and roughly 970,000 troops are deployed along the border in the north. It is no joke to say a million.
Obviously, the most powerful among these ten towns are the left and right wings of the capital: Ji Town on the right and Liaodong on the right have a total of 360,000 troops, and Xuanfu, Datong and Shanxi on the left have a total of 320,000 troops.
Changping and Baoding are generally regarded as the peripheral forces of the capital, with a scale of 100,000 people. The Imperial Guards of the Beijing Camp are 60,000 people as the core force. These 160,000 troops are generally only responsible for defending the capital. Of course, after the high-pragmatic restructuring, the imperial guards
The army is becoming a field force and may exist as an offensive force in the future.
No matter how you calculate it, after the imperial court has promoted the Chahar offensive as a national policy, the importance of Jiliao has continued to increase, so its military strength is second to none. Now that Li Song has become the governor of Jiliao, from the perspective of the Xin School
It's really a huge victory.
But...this "victory" is quite substantial.
First of all, after so many years of changes, especially with Qi Jiguang, who had guarded Jizhen for many years, joining the Real School, Jizhen has become the second Xuanda University. At this time, Jizhen was full of high-ranking party generals, "
The degree of "Xuan Dahua" is quite high. Among them are Tan Lun, a general of the Southern Army from Qi Jiguang's line, who now also belongs to Gaodang's line.
Secondly, Gao Dang's direct lineage Xuanda generals also penetrated Liaodong very seriously. Through Gao Pragmatic's three adjustments, from the beginning of Ma Jiajiang, Ma Jiajiang, to the previous one, a large number of Xuanda middle-level generals led by Xiao Ruxun were added.
, Liaodong's high party Xuanda's direct line of power has also reached an unprecedented height, with more than 45,000 Xuanda elites under direct control. This figure has even surpassed that of the Li Jiajun - because Li Chengliang suffered a lot of losses last time.
Instead, there are only about 37,000 direct descendants left.
Of course, after Li Rusong returned to Liaodong, he was expanding his army with the intention of recovery. It may have returned to the previous scale of 40,000 direct descendants. Generally speaking, it can be said that the most elite vassal army in Liaodong is more than 80,000, which is the highest number of vassals among the nine sides.
The town with the highest degree of civilization can be said to be the most powerful in the world.
In this military-dominated town of Liaodong, the school of thought is basically divided into the east and the west, and the school of thought.
On the eastern side is the direct line army of the Practical School with Xiao Ruxun, the "Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Guarding Liaoyang" as the core. He was arranged to replace Cao Yu, who has now been promoted to Commander-in-Chief of Jizhen.
Xiao Ruxun's subordinates mainly include Ma Dong, who is responsible for the four prefectures of Jin, Fu, Hai, and Gai, that is, Ma Dong, the right commander of Haigai, who is responsible for the Liaonan Peninsula; Ma Chengxun, the Kaiyuan military commander who is responsible for northern Liaoning; and who cooperates with Xiao Ruxun and is responsible for Liaodong. Shenyang guerrilla Qi Jin in the central area.
However, there are still forces left by Li Chengliang in the Liaodong half, mainly Kuandian general Yang Yuan. Since Kuandian is located northwest of the Yalu River, he is actually responsible for the eastern part of Liaodong, which to a certain extent is Cooperating with western Liaoning to attack Liaodong, a left and right pincer attack was formed - of course, everyone is the Ming army, so the so-called pincer attack can only be said to be a certain situation. Unless one party rebels, it will not really be established.
In western Liaoning, the leader is of course Li Rusong, who is the "chief military officer guarding Liaodong". Due to the situation mentioned before, and the fact that Yang Yuan of Kuandian has taken away part of the direct line forces of the Li family army, in fact, Li Rusong only has three direct lines in his hands. About 12,000 - if his army expansion and replenishment have been completed, then it will be about 35,000.
The main generals under his command were probably Zu Chengxun, the left counselor who guarded Ningyuan, Zha Dashou, the right counselor who guarded Jinyi, the guerrilla generals who guarded the left and right camps of Guangning, the guerrilla generals who guarded Zhenwubao, and the front guard. The guerrilla generals in the camp are a group of guerrilla generals including the guerrilla generals guarding the carriage camp.
In addition to this, there is also a newly established guerrilla general to guard Fuxin. This position was established not long ago, and its premise is based on two points. One is that after the victory in the Battle of Southern Liaoning, the Ming Dynasty obtained the territory originally occupied by the Huahua Department. The Liao River Hetao area, and secondly, the imperial court built a new Fuxin City under Gao's pragmatic suggestions to resettle refugees from Shanxi, southern Hebei and other places.
Although both premises were achieved with high pragmatism, Fuxin's geographical location obviously belongs to western Liaoning. It is impossible for the pragmatic school to lie with open eyes and insist on assigning the area under the jurisdiction of Fuxin's guerrilla generals to the jurisdiction of Liaoyang. Therefore, the Li Jiajun got nothing. Visit Fuxin City and Liaohe Hetao.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But having said that, since Gao Pragmatic planned to build a city in Liaodong in addition to Fuxin, there was also Dandong, so the position of the guerrilla generals who guarded Dandong was controlled by the Pragmatic School. The person who took up this position was also an old acquaintance, Zhang Wanbang, the former Dongchang Fort guard - the son of General Xuan Da who used a bayonet array to top the fried flower and made the first contribution to capturing the fried flower alive.
In this comparison, the strength of the Shi School and the Heart School in Liaodong is more obvious. One of the cores of both sides is in Guangning and the other is in Liaoyang. They have two generals under their command. The strength of the direct armies is roughly the same.
However, due to the Chahar strategy, Li Rusong's western Liaoning is relatively closer to Chahanhot, so the deployment of guerrilla generals in western Liaoning appears to be more dense. This makes the non-Jiading Huawei soldiers under Li Rusong's actual control More than Xiao Ruxun in Liaoyang.
Li Rusong probably commands more than 60,000 and nearly 70,000 Liaodong Guard troops, while Xiao Ruxun only has over 30,000 Guard troops. Judging from the total strength of the direct command of both sides, Li Rusong in Western Liaoning has
There are about more than 100,000 people, while Xiao Ruxun in Liaodong has more than 70,000 and less than 80,000 people. Well, this is also consistent with the status of the chief and deputy commander-in-chief.
However, there are other situations. For example, when Li Song took office as governor of Liaoning, because the governor of Liaodong was based in Liaoyang, he and the deputy commander-in-chief were both in the same city, and the status of civilian officials was much higher than that of generals, so Li Song could be compared
It was easy to suppress Xiao Ruxun.
Xiao Ruxun was different from Cao Yun. The latter was a local general in Liaodong. He was very senior in Liaodong and had great military exploits. Li Song did not dare to suppress him too hard - Cao Yun had had a verbal dispute with him before.
Xiao Ruxun was transferred from the northwest, and the generals in the northwest were not direct descendants of Gao Dang. They only became peripheral members of Gao Dang generals due to the relationship between Ma Ziqiang and Zhang Siwei. If it were not for the Battle of the Northwest, Xiao Ruxun would still be
It can only be peripheral.
Although Gao Pragmatic completely conquered the northwest generals after the Northwest War, Xiao Ruxun was promoted too quickly and had insufficient military qualifications. Now that he was transferred to Liaodong, he couldn't even talk about a fierce dragon crossing the river, so he was naturally suppressed miserably by Li Song.
But now Li Song was transferred to Ji Liao, and Gu Yangqian, one of the core members of the Gao Party, was transferred to Liao Fu, and the situation was suddenly reversed. When Li Song went to Ji Liao, he was unaccompanied, but when Gu Yangqian took charge of Liaoyang, a dragon entered the sea, and the battle between offense and defense was complicated.
Immediate change of momentum.
Li Rusong felt the pressure. Given his character, it was hard to say how he would react. However, Cao Yu, the current commander-in-chief of Jizhen, also felt that the burden on his shoulders was not light - he had been dealing with Li Song for a long time, so how could he
It was easy not to work under Li Song's direct command. He didn't expect to meet again so soon. When Cao Zongrong learned the news, he cursed on the spot: "What a damn bad luck!"
