"I have met His Royal Highness King Runan." In front of the Qianqing Gate, the guard guarding the gate saluted Zhu Youxuan.
Zhu Youxuan smiled and nodded, and said: "Guard Zhou, please inform Your Majesty that I have important matters to report to Your Majesty."
"How dare I say 'please' to Your Majesty?" The guard named Zhou Enming immediately responded and asked: "Your Majesty, I don't know what is going on? I might as well report it to Your Majesty."
"It's about the bodyguards your Majesty selected for me at Kaifeng Mansion."
‘Guard? Your Majesty will choose a guard for you?’ Zhou Enming had a question mark on his forehead, but he still agreed and walked towards Qianqing Palace.
He walked to the door of the main hall and took a look inside. He only saw Xia Auxiliary Officer Bao Zhao, Winter Auxiliary Officer Xie Jin and several other ministers preparing a memorial. Not to mention Yunxi, even Qiu Auxiliary Officer Guo Zhen was not there, so He asked the eunuch guarding the door in a low voice: "Eunuch Liu, where is your majesty? His Royal Highness the King of Runan has come to pay homage to your majesty. He has something to report."
"Your Majesty is discussing matters with several princes and princes in the back hall." said the Sixth Eunuch.
Zhou Enming thanked him and rushed to the back hall.
In the back hall, Yun Xie was talking to Geng Bingwen, Xu Huizu and others. He had already talked about the appearance and basic yamen of the Dudu Mansion when he went to court that day, but the specific internal structure and operation were due to all the civil and military officials in the Ming Dynasty. All the officials had no experience, so they had no idea what to do, so they could only ask Yunxi for advice.
Of course, Yunxi also anticipated this situation. After promulgating the imperial edict that day, he took time every day to explain to the military attaches appointed on that day how to set up internal offices and appoint officials.
"..., the responsibilities of the General Staff Headquarters are slightly increased from the former Staff Department of the Ministry of War. It consists of the Staff Department, the Intelligence Department, the Communications Department, and the Military Affairs Department, which are respectively responsible for expeditions,... and other matters." He was right. Lan Zhen, who serves as the Minister of the General Staff, also said to everyone present.
"The responsibilities of the General Political Department are as important as the General Staff Department." Yunxi turned to look at Chen Xingshan: "The responsibilities of the Military Selection Department are the same as before, but the process of appointing and removing officials is different from before. After that, the appointment and removal of officials except generals will be the same. In addition to the report, a document from the Political Department is also required before appointment or removal can be made."
"In addition, after the appointment of hundreds of households and trial hundred households, they will be nominated by the Wei Zhenfu. The Wei commander will decide and report it to the General Political Department for filing. Approval by the Military Selection Department is not required. Thousand households and deputy Qianhu will be governed by the Dusi and Xingdu Division. Nomination by the Department can be decided by the capital commander and reported to the General Political Department for the record, and approval by the Military Selection Department is not required."
"The Cultural Propaganda Department remains the same as before, except that the chief seal officer has been renamed Langzhong, and the rest remains unchanged."
"The Military Medical Department and the Political Department will be one department for the time being, and the same person will concurrently serve as the doctor." Yunxi finally said to Chen Xingshan. At present, the military doctors and political errands in the health center are still on duty, and there is no need to separate them for the time being.
"General Logistics Department and General Armament Department," he looked at Li Jinglong and Chang Sheng again: "My dear sirs, I thought that the responsibilities of these two departments were clearly stated that day, so I don't need to say more. The two of you discuss a charter with others and submit it to me. The research of new weapons and manufacturing of weapons under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry and the Neiyamen, as well as everything stored in the arsenal department of the former Ministry of War from official positions to venues, will be handed over to the General Logistics Department. , but the steel workshops and steel plants under its jurisdiction are not placed under the General Logistics Department; the errands of the former Vehicle and Driving Department of the Ministry of War are all handed over to the General Assembly."
Yun Xi told them these few words and stopped talking. The errands of the two yamen, the General Logistics Department and the General Assembly, cannot be said to be unimportant, but they are still slightly inferior to the General Staff and the General Political Department, and the difference from the errands of this era is minimal.
, he does not need to explain too much. Moreover, although Li Jinglong is not good at fighting, he is still capable; Chang Sheng is a little worse, but he is still cautious in doing things, and the general assembly does not require much ability from the top officer.
"Mei Shangshu, the responsibilities of the Du branch were not very clear that day. From now on, the Du branch's errand is to make a budget based on the total expenditure of the entire army in the previous year, and withdraw a sum of money from the Ministry of Household Affairs and put it in the treasury of the Du branch.
, in the future, all yamen in the army will receive money from the Du branch, not from the household department."
"The Navy Department doesn't need me to explain anything. It just gathers all the Navy Guards in one place and manages them under unified jurisdiction. The rest remains as usual."
"As for Jiangnan Dusi and Yingtianxing Dusi, just set up official positions according to the local Dusi."
"The daily affairs of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion are handled by the four governors and the two governors. If there are any unresolved matters, the two governors will convene a Zhuque Pavilion meeting and follow the example of the court to make a decision.
If something is difficult to decide, report it to me. On weekdays, daily meetings will be held in Xuanwu Pavilion on the first, sixth, eleventh, sixteenth, twenty-first and twenty-sixth of every month, just like I hold a great court meeting."
"My dear friends, is there anything you don't understand?" After Yunxi finished speaking, he looked at everyone present.
Everyone present did not speak for a moment, but in their minds they evaluated the impact of the complete reform on the status of military commanders, and whether the status of the yamen they were in charge of was high or low.
Soon, everyone present judged that the status of military generals has not been reduced, and if it can be strictly implemented, the status of military generals will be equal to that of civilian officials in the future. Suddenly, the military generals present were happy; since the civilian military attaches have become military attachés,
Mentally, they were on the military attaché's side, and they were all happy.
Then he began to evaluate the status of the yamen he was in charge of. Lan Zhen was naturally the happiest. The responsibilities of the General Staff were not much different from those of the previous Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, and Yunxi's errands for each yamen also started from the General Staff, indicating that the General Staff was still the most
An important part.
Of course, everyone can see that the General Administration of Political Affairs is the second most important yamen, not only in charge of military elections, but also in charge of military medicine and propaganda. Not to mention the military attaché system, it is one of the most important yamen in the entire imperial court.
But when everyone looked at Chen Xingshan, he was just sitting where he was, with a calm expression on his face.
For the others, the Navy is a self-contained unit and it’s hard to say whether its status is high or low; among the other three, which one is higher and which one is lower, everyone has different ideas, but most people think that the branch is more important. It’s not that the errands are important, but that everyone will be in the future.
There is no need to visit the old faces of the people in the household department to receive funds, and it will be more convenient than before. Naturally, I feel that it is more important to pay for the branch.
Regarding the Governor Tongzhi and the Governor Qianshi, everyone thought about it and thought that the Governor Tongzhi is equivalent to the fourth auxiliary officer, the Governor Qianshi is equivalent to the minister, and the ministers of each ministry are equivalent to the six civil servants. Although the official position of the Governor Tongzhi is high
Level one, but in the end it's hard to say who has more real power, but there can be some dispute.
As for Yingtianxing Dusi and Jiangnan Dusi, Yingtianxing Dusi is the yamen that controls most of the guards in the capital, and the commander is also a member of the Zhuque Pavilion meeting, which is more important; Jiangnan Dusi is the local Dusi, not so
It's important.
Yunxi sat on the main seat and quietly watched them lower their heads and thought without saying a word. At this time, Lu Yi walked in and came to Yunxi and said something to him softly. Yunxi had a slightly surprised expression on his face.
, ordered: "Let him come in and wait in the side hall."
The eunuch agreed and stepped back. Yunxi turned his head, estimated that it was almost done, and asked again: "My dear friends, is there anything you don't understand?"
"Your Majesty, just now His Majesty mentioned the Political Department. Isn't it the yamen that Your Majesty wants to set up in each Capital Division and Xingdu Division?" Chen Xingshan spoke first.
"I plan to imitate the yamen of the Metropolitan Governor's Palace and set up a staff department, a political department, a logistics and equipment department, and a branch department in the local and provincial capital divisions. Their responsibilities are similar to those of the yamen of the Metropolitan Governor's Palace, except that logistics and equipment are combined into one.
." Yunxi said.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to make such a big change rashly." Chen Xingshan said immediately. The reforms in Beijing have not been straightened out, and if the reforms are carried out simultaneously at the local level, it will be chaotic.
"I know that I will not carry out reforms in other places for the time being. I will only set them up in the newly established Yingtianxing Dusi and Jiangnan Dusi. If there are any mistakes, I will correct them and then implement them nationwide."
"Your Majesty is wise." Chen Xingshan and others said.
In fact, Yunxi wanted to carry out reforms at the same time. Since the first class of students graduated from the Martial Arts Hall at the end of the 27th year of Hongwu, ten classes have graduated. There are 300 people in each class, and the tenth class has 3,000 people, excluding those who stayed in Beijing.
Yes, there are about 20 Dusi in the country, and each Xingdusi has more than 100 people. If you add in the people who have attended the training class at the Jiangwu Hall for a year because of their job assignments, there will be even more people, and they are also pregnant.
The third-grade official position is enough to set up four departments including the Staff Department. The reason why Yunxi implemented military reforms this year is not only the unprecedented stability of the external environment, but also the gradual growth of students trained in the martial arts hall.
"Your Majesty, why are the factories and factories that produce steel not under the General Armament Department?" Li Jinglong asked: "Your Majesty, most of the weapons now have to be made of steel. If the General Armament Department does not have a steel factory, it will still have to be manufactured by workers.
Allocating resources from the Ministry of Defense may delay the production of weapons."
"I have thought about this matter myself, so I have no more words to say." Yunxi said enigmatically.
After that, he answered a few more questions. Seeing that everyone had nothing to ask, he said: "My dear friends, go back and draw up a charter and report it to me."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone agreed, and when they stood up, they bowed and left.
"Slow down!" Yunxi suddenly stopped them again. "Today is the second day of February, and classes at the Martial Arts Hall and the Imperial College will start tomorrow. I plan to set up another school in the capital. After this school is officially established, you
Send all the sons at home between the ages of twelve and fourteen to this school." He said in a commanding tone.
Everyone felt strange that Yunxi suddenly established another school: Why does Your Majesty like schools so much? There are already four schools: the Royal Academy, the Imperial Academy, the Martial Arts Academy, and the Women's Academy. What is the purpose of setting up another one?
But since it was the emperor's order, they did not dare to disobey it. At least there was no need to contradict him face to face. They agreed, and seeing that he had no other orders, they bowed and left.
Yunxi looked at their backs for a while, murmured softly, and then immediately ordered Lu Yi: "Let King Runan come over."
