Chapter 107 Top-level design
Zhu Xu smiled and put the teacup next to Xiao Ciye's mouth. The little guy was drowsy. He opened his eyes, looked up at Zhu Xu, opened his mouth, took a few sips, and then pursed his lips and never drank again.
Zhu Xu chuckled, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and looked up at everyone.
Although everyone is eating, they are actually buffering each other to prepare for the next topic.
Next is the arrangement of the Grand Marshal's Mansion.
After a while, Sun Chengzong ate a piece of pastry, drank a sip of tea, cleared his throat slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has read the design drawings of the Grand Marshal's Office, and has basically no objection. After the 'Military Reform' meeting, the planning of the Grand Marshal's Office is: the Grand Marshal's Office is responsible for formulating military systems, military laws, and military rules, and has the power to dispatch. It has the combat department, the General Office, the Intelligence Department, the Inspection Department, the Logistics Department, the Equipment Department and other nine departments, the eleventh chief officer, the same third rank, the Grand Marshal and the General, and the General jointly manage the Grand Marshal's Office... The Ministry of War has the power to command the troops and is responsible for handling daily military affairs..."
What Sun Chengzong said was the top-level design of his plans with the Ministry of War and other departments.
What we are talking about now is very general and not specific. Of course, if you want to talk about the details, you can't finish it in one or two hours.
Everyone was listening quietly. These were very important to them, local generals, and no one dared to be careless.
Zhu Xu hugged Xiao Ciye, listened carefully and thought.
Although Sun Chengzong promoted the "military reform" according to his intentions, his purpose was completely different.
What he wanted was to build a huge army management organization with strong combat power, unrivaled, and even the whole people would be soldiers. In the next ten years, it would be the peak period for colonization of the entire earth. The Ming army or colonial forces would be spread all over the world! At that time, the Ming Dynasty could not be controlled by these civil servants in the foreign court.
The "Master's Mansion" he wanted was not only arguing with the cabinet, but also more so than overwhelming the cabinet. He should be quite "rude" in terms of military power.
This institution will be the sharp sword in his hand, piercing through all obstacles and sweeping across this planet!
Zhu Xu could not say these words, otherwise these generals would have to blow up the nest. Sun Chengzong's "military reform" strategy was actually a word of "stability". While ensuring that these armies did not threaten the Ming Dynasty's country, they could also guard one side and consolidate the world.
This order is the voice of almost all the Ming officials. Iron rule: If a country's army is too strong, it will be prosperous and declining, and it will destroy the country! Civil officials in the foreign court will never allow it!
Although Zhu Xu's thoughts were not made public, Sun Chengzong and others knew that he had other ideas and were trying his best to "avoid" it. He hoped that the "military reform" plan they had formulated could become a "established fact" as soon as possible, so that Zhu Xu could not change it.
Everyone here has their own thoughts. Zhu Xu hugged Xiao Ciye, looked at a group of people, and said with a smile, "Come on, everyone talks about their thoughts and speaks freely."
According to the order just now, Lu Xiangsheng spoke first and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the 'Master's Mansion' can only be used temporarily. When formal, the name needs to be changed. At the same time, inside and outside this institution, many powers and duties need to be clarified, how to operate, especially the commander must have an explanation..."
Lu Xiang was at the critical point, and even Sun Chengzong did not explain the details thoroughly because he could not hold Zhu Xu's mind, so he could only leave it to Zhu Xu for additional discussions.
Zhu Xu didn't say much, wrapped a blanket for the sleepy Xiao Ciye, looked at Shen Yongmao, and said, "Shen Shangshu."
Shen Yongmao immediately said: "The Emperor, I think that the Grand Marshal's Mansion must have a clear plan and goal, and explain the intention of reform to the court and the people of the world clearly..."
Zhu Xu's eyes lit up slightly and nodded secretly. Shen Yongmao was the Minister of War, and his sensitivity was very good.
"Guo Aiqing." Zhu Xu turned to Guo Guangxin again.
Guo Guangxin said: "I believe that the 'Master's Mansion' needs a clear position. What is the position of the court? This is not a matter of authority. In the 'New Policy', there is no arrangement of the 'Master's Mansion'..."
Zhu Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, smiling without saying a word. Guo Guangxin was a little smarter, pointing to something he had always been vague and unexplained. Of course, it cannot be said that if the military power is too heavy, let alone the outer court, the leaders in front of him would not dare to agree.
"General Qin." Zhu Xu looked at Qin Liangyu calmly.
Qin Liangyu was silent for a while and said, "Emperor, I have no objection to the 'military reform'. I obey the emperor and all the orders of the court."
Zhu Xu gently looked at Cao Wenzhao.
Cao Wenzhao said: "Emperor, I believe that 'military reform' has three main purposes. One is to strengthen the army and sort out the current chaos in the army. The second is to unify the military orders and smooth the upper and lower levels. Third, establish a more suitable, reasonable and efficient unified and coordinated department, the faster the better. With these three points, I believe that the 'Master's Mansion' needs further cleaning..."
Zhu Xu nodded quietly, searched the crowd again, and pointed a few names and said something.
This is half an hour and lunch has passed long ago.
Zhu Ciye woke up several times in the middle, sometimes lying down, sometimes sitting up, without saying a word, just looking at it with his eyes wide open.
Zhu Xu kept listening quietly, and could roughly understand what these generals meant. He looked up at Sun Chengzong and said, "Georgia Sun, what else do you think?"
Sun Chengzong leaned over and pondered: "One person is short-sighted, two persons are the chiefs, and I am still working behind closed doors and have not considered many things carefully. After I go back, I will discuss in detail and comprehensively with the generals and others to learn from their strengths and weaknesses, and ensure that the 'military reform' is complete and complete, and there are no flaws."
Zhu Xu smiled more. Sun Chengzong was indeed devoted to the country. He was not worried about these things. He hugged Xiao Ciye on his lap and looked at everyone and said, "Is there anything else to add?"
The group of people bowed together and understood that the emperor would be instructed next.
Zhu Xu held Xiao Ciye with his right hand, patted him gently on his lower abdomen, and said, "I have many purposes for the 'military reform'. First, strengthen the army. Our Ming army has been defeated since Emperor Yingzong. The Japanese pirates' rebellion is a clear proof. After the Apocalypse, the Ming Dynasty could not find a few troops to fight. Therefore, I hope that our Ming Dynasty will streamline its military and take the elite military route. Second, it is the problem of the national treasury, and the disaster is getting worse and worse, and the national treasury needs to be reduced. Third, it is to sort out all aspects of the military system, including military positions, military ranks, logistics, etc., which need to be re-established. With the foundation of the previous few times, this time it can have a complete conclusion. Fourth, it is a prospect and the most important point."
Speaking of this, Zhu Xu paused and picked up the teacup.
Everyone listened to the front without any surprises. These were their thoughts. But when Zhu Xu paused, his heart couldn't help but feel nervous.
His Majesty the Emperor has always been different from others, and always hits the point, which makes them extremely uncomfortable and have to accept it.
Zhu Xu took a sip of tea and looked at Xiao Ciye in his arms. The little guy grabbed his clothes and did not move. Zhu Xu looked at him, and he also looked up at Zhu Xu and blinked.
Zhu Xu smiled at him, put down the teacup, and said calmly: "Optimism is a view of the situation, future situation, development and positioning of the Ming Dynasty. Your opinion is probably that my Ming Dynasty has no enemies, and I can rest and recuperate my internal affairs with confidence, and just wait for the country and the people to be safe and secure, and you can retire and enjoy peace. But I don't think so. In my opinion, my Ming Dynasty is still full of dangers, first of all, domestic, and you should know this, and secondly overseas. You didn't care, but I saw it in Fujian last year that the firearms of the Western Barbarians are more powerful than my Ming Dynasty, and the quality of the army is higher. Maybe it's okay in the next ten or twenty years, but if my Ming Dynasty is self-confidence and does not seek progress, at most a hundred years, my Ming Dynasty will be completely left behind. The enemy is strong and I am weak. My Ming Dynasty is afraid that it will be a sea of swords, fire, hell on earth, and all of us here will be sinners..."
What Zhu Xu said was not alarmist, but a terrible consequence proved by history.
But the adults in front of them did not have as strong feelings as Zhu Xu. At the same time, in their opinion, the Ming Dynasty was still unparalleled and did not think that any alien race could really rule the Ming Dynasty!
