Chapter 109 Army Reform

After solving the problem of peasants and the army eating, Zhu Yuanzhang began to turn his attention to internal affairs!

Since Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he has been busy with something.

Demolition of the house!

Whether it was the army or the political organ, Zhu Yuanzhang demolished all the departments that could be demolished from the moment he took office.

I have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang is indeed a master in the business of destroying the family.

A master who can no one look down on him.

Because others are breaking up their families, Zhu Yuanzhang is different.

He is making a fortune by breaking up his house!

Zhu Yuanzhang, a kind-hearted man, has taken the demolition of his family to the extreme.

I firmly believe that Zhu Yuanzhang was the first to focus on the army.

The next is the ** functional department.

However, he made adjustments on the specific implementation route.

He first started to attack the ** department and finally turned to the army.

Today, let’s talk about military reform first.

Ming Army, this army was the most fundamental guarantee of its imperial power, so there was no problem.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought a lot about the issue of the army.

He had never thought of dismantling it.

At first he just wanted to hand over the team to one of his relatives.

But many things that happened later changed his mind.

Faced with this huge team, first of all, it must not fall into the hands of any minister, nor can it be placed in the hands of any hero.

Because they are all from different surnames.

Not my Zhu family.

They and I, Lao Zhu, are not in the same mind. If this team is handed over to someone from other people, if he has the army, he will not be able to make a fuss and play a rebellion scene.

This is not much different from the previous self-immortality.

They are all doing it themselves.

This is a thankless deal.

This kind of losing money transaction must not be done.

So he was very sensible and entrusted this important mission to his own people.

At this time, the first thing he thought of was Zhu Wenzheng, the boss who fought head-on with Chen Youliang in Hongdu for 81 days and stood firm and refused to surrender.

What he thought was to hand over the army to his nephew Zhu Wenzheng to manage.

But my nephew is not at all successful.

Before he could take office, he played a good show of colluding with the enemy for Zhu Yuanzhang.

What made Zhu Yuanzhang even more angry was that he didn't understand anyone, and he actually sold his uncle to Zhang Shicheng, a bastard.

Zhu Wenzheng didn't know that one of the three people he was the one whom he hated the most in his life was Zhang Shicheng.

Zhu Yuanzhang absolutely could not tolerate Zhu Wenzheng's approach.

So Monk Zhu was furious and surrounded him, and in today's terms he was injected into the cold palace.

Since entering the cold palace, Zhu Wenzheng never wants to live and see the bright sun the next day.

Zhu Wenzheng's situation is much more miserable than that of Kangxi's son Thirteenth, the third son of Emperor Xixiang.

Although Yinxiang was also encircled by his old man, at least there was a fourth brother outside who always thought of him protecting him, and there were good things to him secretly sent in every few days. More importantly, Yinxiang's character is really good, and his former subordinates even sneaked in his favorite girl Alan.

There are food, drinks, women, and my former brothers are there to watch the door. There is also a fourth brother outside who is always ready to take him out. Although this kind of life is hard, there is at least hope for life.

But Boss Wen Zheng is different.

His usual behavior is really a bit of awesome.

In our current words, this guy has a problem with his character.

None of his subordinates was convinced by him.

In the Battle of Hongdu, his approach was indeed fierce and ruthless, but that matter was over.

There were not many people who actually survived that battle.

Even if he really had a comrade who was convinced by him, he would have almost died in the Hongdu defense battle. Most of the people who survived had no say. More importantly, the best thing for the boss Zhu Wenzheng in his life should be to go to prostitutes, that is, to go to prostitutes. However, since he was detained in confinement, his uncle completely cut off his hobbies.

There is no wine, no meat, no women, this is absolutely fatal to Zhu Wenzheng, who is good at wine, good meat and lustful.

So his death will be destined.

After dealing with Zhu Wenzheng, Zhu Yuanzhang's mentality began to change.

Even his closest and most beloved nephew may betray him, so who can believe it?

If this team is completely handed over to one person, will it play a rebellious and forced into a palace like Zhu Wenzheng?

Very likely.

No.

It's not possible, it will definitely happen.

In view of Zhu Wenzheng's profound lessons, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to change his strategy.

Since it cannot be controlled by one person, then remove it!

dismantle!

The more you disassemble, the better!

After the breakup, multiple people will manage it!

In order to form mutual restraint, Zhu Yuanzhang divided the army into five pieces in total.

They are: the Central Army Governor's Office, the Left Army Governor's Office, the Right Army Governor's Office, the Front Army Governor's Office, and the Back Army Governor's Office.

A total of five armies are known in history: the Governor's Office of the Five Army.

This is a bit like our five major military regions now.

But they have essential differences, because each of them has two nominal bosses, the left governor and the right governor, but all have the same military ranks (everyone can see clearly that the two have the same military ranks, which is interesting!).

In order to supervise the behavior of the two governors, Zhu Yuanzhang cleverly equipped them with a secretary. Zhu Yuanzhang named the two secretary: the governor Tongzhi, and their military rank is from the first rank (deputy first rank).

From a psychology perspective, there is a big problem with Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement.

Our official ranks are the same, and we also have the same ranks. Why do you become a regular person? I have to serve as a foil as a deputy.

This makes no sense.

Why am I the right call?

I believe that the people who were assigned to the deputy position must have an unbalanced mentality. No matter how harmonious their relationship is in private, the gap in official positions is enough to destroy any of their previous friendships.

Moreover, this unbalanced gap will not only be reflected in the psychological level, but will also be driven to work. This may be what Zhu Yuanzhang wants to see. He wants these people to form internal struggles and restrain each other, so that the army will not pose a threat to a higher level of government.

I think Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement was to let these people fight each other.

You are right, I am wrong.

I'll refute what you said wrong.

Anyway, the two masters and deputys are two mortal enemies and can never pee, otherwise these two might conspire!

Zhu Yuanzhang should have been afraid of this, so he gave them the same military rank but different positions, so that they could fight each other. As long as they didn't do anything too out of order, Zhu Yuanzhang would be happy.

Of course, if the things Zhu Yuanzhang had not been done and messed up, it would be even better. He killed the chief and deputy, and then found two officials who were not afraid of death to come up and continue to do things that they had not done in their previous term!

If you still can't do it well, then continue to kill.

Until things are done well!

In short, one purpose: the more ruthless you fight, the more stable my imperial power is!

In order to stabilize military power, Zhu Yuanzhang also thought of a move.

He set up an organization called the "Master General of the Army" separately, and then handed over the rights of the five major military regions to this department for coordination, but this department only had the power to coordinate, but did not have the power to command military command.

All military orders must be decided by one person in the end.

This person is Zhu Yuanzhang.

The Marshal's Office of the General Army should be regarded as the later Ministry of War, which is our current Ministry of War. Its form is roughly the same as that of the Ministry of War, but its power is not as huge as that of the Ministry of War.

In order to stabilize the army, Zhu Yuanzhang also ordered the separation of military and political affairs. The functional departments in all regions did not have the right to mobilize troops. Only one person could mobilize troops, that is Zhu Yuanzhang himself.

I have said a little too much. Anyway, I have to say one thing, that is, the military power is dispersed and mutual restraint is formed. The most direct beneficiary of doing this is Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because he no longer needs to be afraid of threatening his imperial power because of military power.
