Is the orders of the Ministry of War useful? Under normal circumstances, it is useful. n∈The army of the whole country, except for the imperial guards, should be under the command of the Ministry of War. However, the military reform carried out by Zhu Youjian was actually a freak, or a military reform that stopped halfway through it. At this time, the Ming army system was a bit like the late Qing Dynasty, and in general, it was just a word "chaos".

At the beginning, Zhu Youjian's purpose of training the new army was to gradually improve the national army as a model. The idea was right, but unfortunately his career collapsed before he could complete it. After the new king ascended the throne, he did not have much prestige and it was difficult to command the reform of the army. Because there were too many interests involved, the Ministry of War was not very active in advancing this matter. This caused the new army to be almost trained and had a certain combat effectiveness and had long been corrupted but the system of garrisons was not cancelled. Another thing was that the recruitment system was still there, and

There are still many. The two systems of the Ming army are huge and bloated, and are constantly consuming the country's military expenditure. This is much different from the late Qing Dynasty. New troops in each province have put on the airs. Although they have not been trained strictly according to the requirements of the country, they have always been put up the banner and invested in it. At the same time, the Eight Banners soldiers from all over the country are still there, and there are still many green camps, including the traditional army of Zheng Yong, the city defense camp, the river defense camp, etc.. Not to mention anything else, the Green Camp and Zheng Yong alone have more than 200,000.

Speaking of which, the Ming Dynasty military system at this time is generally two systems. After all, the new army is a very small part. It must be strictly calculated. The new army within the Zhili area is one Flying Eagle Cavalry and one New Army, which has a total of more than 40,000. The army in the city also has more than 40,000, but the difference in combat effectiveness between the two is too big.

The new army has been in the system of internal treasury since the beginning. So under normal circumstances, the Ministry of War could not command at all. After deciding that Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng had taken out of the city to take over the army, Hong Chengchou took the initiative to take over the work in Nanyuan. The salary of this cavalry was still in the system of the Ministry of Revenue, so he was still very confident that he could impress He Xian with high officials and generous salaries and take over the command of the Flying Eagle Cavalry. This idea is fine under normal circumstances, and Chen Xie was gone. Can't his subordinates find a backer?

Hong Chengchou's selfishness is very obvious, but Lu Xiangsheng didn't care about this. What he cared more about was whether there was an imperial decree. Unfortunately, the people in the cabinet, plus the civil officials and military officials of the six ministries, agreed that they had to take down the army first, and then they could continue to quarrel with the emperor with peace of mind. Even if the command of the army was returned to the emperor in the future, that would be a matter for the future. Speaking of which, the ambitions of the nobles were mainly reflected in the huge overseas dividends. There was not much extravagant hope for the regime. The emperor was there, and they were more willing to take a step back and play a role in defending Beijing, stabilizing chaos, and ensuring a smooth transition.

Or to put it this way, military honors seek benefits, civil officials seek power. Let’s put it this way, under the new cabinet system, as long as the army is controlled, civil officials can really control the entire country. The young emperor cannot defeat the civil officials group.

It was dawn and the city gate opened. The two teams walked one side, one heading for Fengtai and the other heading to Nanyuan.

It's really not long for a fast horse and light riding. When the sun came out, Hong Chengchou brought fifty generals to the barracks in Nanyuan and received a "warm welcome" from the guards firing into the sky. The specific process was like this. After discovering Hong Chengchou and his entourage, the guards on duty immediately shouted with a loudspeaker: "The military camp is important. Do not trespass."

Hong Chengchou was afraid of Chen Xie at heart, which did not mean that he was afraid of these soldiers, so he ignored this matter and continued to move forward. Nearing fifty meters away, Ding Dan rode forward and shouted: "The Grand Secretary of the Dongge and Minister of Rites Hong Chengchou is here, so where is he showing?"

After revealing his name, Hong Chengchou was very confident and felt that he could suppress the soldier. He never thought that the soldier on duty pulled the trigger into the sky, raised the horn and shouted: "Get back, the rest of the people retreat immediately, otherwise they would be punished for rushing to the military camp." When he fired the gun, the movement became louder. The cavalry company commander on duty rushed over immediately and commanded the command to prepare for combat. Rows of muzzles pointed at the servants forward, and he could be beaten into a hornet's nest with just one order.

Hong Chengchou didn't expect that this would be the change. He signaled that others would stop and turn over and dismount. He called the servants back and walked forward alone. Hong Chengchou, wearing an official robe, was still very confident and believed that if the Flying Eagle Cavalry did not rebel, it would not be detrimental to him. To talk about rebellion, Chen Xie would have to wait until today if he wanted to rebel?

Three steps away from the camp gate, facing more than 100 guns, Hong Chengchou felt a little guilty. If a bastard gets nervous and gets angry, he will have to explain it here today. But if you don’t take risks at this time, when will you wait? As long as you take command of the Flying Eagle Cavalry, the position of the chief minister of the cabinet will be his own in the future. As for Lu Xiangsheng, his mission to go to Fengtai, in Hong Chengchou’s opinion, cannot be completed at all. The new army only listens to the emperor, because every cent of the silver they use is from the inner treasury. In other words, the new army has no sense of identity with the Ministry of War.

Speaking of this group of civil officials, he was so bold. In the Ming Dynasty, it was only after Zhu Youjian's death that civil officials had a strong pursuit of the past system that they took risks. Let's put it this way, once this cabinet succeeded in handling this issue, in essence, it was infinitely close to the constitutional monarchy system.

So, why didn’t Chen Xie stand on the side of civil officials? It’s very simple. Once these people’s rights lose their binding power, their group will lie on the country and suck blood. In the past, they did this, and now they do it, and will do it in the future. Letting civil officials control the court may give birth to many capitalists and step by step on the path of capitalism, but this is not what Chen Xie wants. Why? Because capitalists have no national concept. They don’t know where the future development direction is, and they can only do things driven by interests. At that time, not only the traditional moral system will be destroyed, but the new system may not grow up healthily. The key is the system. Only by establishing the system first can the stability of the country be guaranteed. Only stability can we talk about development.

Hong Chengchou was still blocked from the camp gate, and the company commander on duty left a sentence: "Wait!" This made Hong Chengchou feel a strong sense of humiliation. Is this still the Ming army? Tolerance! Tolerance! To settle the accounts in the future.

He Xian finally came out, standing at the door without any intention of greeting, but bowed from afar, "Honggemen, do you have the holy intention?" He said Hong Chengchou so stupidly with one sentence. How could this happen? Facing a martial artist, Hong Chengchou was confident in convincing him, so he stepped forward and said, "Master He, can you speak with a step?"

He Xian replied without hesitation: "Peace Department, please come back. Without the holy intention, I will not open the door here."

"He Xian, you are bold!" Hong Chengchou finally couldn't help it, scolded him, looked at He Xian for a moment, and then continued: "Hometown Hall comes here in person, you can't let it go if you don't come out to greet me, will you not even let the headquarters hall enter the camp gate?"

After hearing this, He Xian showed an incredible expression and replied: "When the Flying Eagle Cavalry is stationed here, the late emperor has his own destiny, and no one will open the door. It's not that He doesn't give face to the Pavilion Department, but it's really hard to violate the Holy Will. Hong Pavilion Department, don't make things difficult for him, go back and ask for the Holy Will."

These words seemed to be like a bolt from the blue and thundering on his forehead. Hong Chengchou was stunned at that time. Why did he say this? Is it really the late emperor who said this? Thinking about it carefully, there was indeed a military supervisor in the flying eagle cavalry. Thinking of this, the white-haired sweat on Hong Chengchou came out, and his whole body was sweating profusely. When he couldn't move forward and retreat for a while, he decided to make another move and shouted again: "Governor He, there are 100,000 urgent things under him, please allow him to enter the camp to meet."

He Xian smiled and said, "The sky fell, and without a saint's order, no ministers from the foreign court were allowed to enter. Not only civil officials, but also military honors."

Hong Chengchou was completely numb, and even racked his brains, he couldn't find a way. He didn't talk nonsense to you at all. He couldn't stand at the door and shout, "Chen Xie was assassinated, life and death are unknown." After really shouting, the soldiers' hands really shook, and he turned into a corpse.

"So, Hong is back first." Hong Chengchou had to give up, turn around and leave, leaving decisively. Because he suddenly felt something was wrong. When he thought about it carefully, it was really strange. Why didn't he even give him a chance to go in and say something? He couldn't figure out what the specific problem was, and it might be the meaning of the eunuch in it. After all, it was abnormal that he came over without bringing the imperial edict. You are abnormal, are you still expecting others to be normal?

Lu Xiangsheng's movements were not slow either. At noon, he came to the checkpoint of Fengtai Camp. After signing up, he passed three blocks and appeared outside the command center of the First Division. Unexpectedly, he looked at the high wall and looked at Weng Zhengqing and others standing at the door. Lu Xiangsheng took a deep breath, calmed himself down, slowly turned over and dismounted, walked forward, bowed to everyone, said quietly: "The headquarters of the Ministry of War, everyone..."

Halfway through, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't continue, because he saw a calm acquaintance standing among the officers, looking at him with an infinite regret. "Why?" Lu Xiangsheng stepped forward firmly, stared at Chen Xie's face that seemed extremely ugly to him, and asked a roaring question.
