The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 675 The system of three government offices and nine departments.

The princes' orbits and soldiers are not moving, the people protect the leaders, the Xiongnu guests are obedient, the four barren country customs, the people are simple and simple, the prison lawsuits are declining, and the big numbers are vested, the world will be governed smoothly, and the atmosphere in the sea will be peaceful.

Building the momentum of long-term security and growing the career of governance is for Chang'an.

In the third year of Chuping (192), September [-]th.

Under the leadership of Xu An, the main force of the Yellow Turban Army finally arrived in Chang'an.

Due to the capture of Guanzhong, the previous military regions were re-divided again.

The Shangjun Military Region was abolished, and Guo Tai, the Bingbei Dao of Shangjun, had been transferred to the Hedong Military Region Bingbei Dao before, and Xu Huang was in charge of the original Hedong Military Region Bingbei Dao. Pioneer job.

The Taihang Military Region and the Two Counties Military Region have been strengthened, and the number of troops has been set at [-]. The Hedong Military Region remains the same without much change.

The Dingbei Military Region, also known as the Liangzhou Military Region, had correspondingly reduced the number of soldiers due to the collapse of Dong Zhuo in Guanzhong.

The Dingbei Military Region originally had a troop strength of [-], but without Dong Zhuo's threat, the Dingbei Military Region's troop strength was also reduced to [-].

There are now more than [-] soldiers in Liangzhou's counties. Except for the more than [-] soldiers directly under Yan Zhong's command, the rest of the soldiers are local garrison troops, and the money and food consumed are quite small.

In the Guanzhong area, the former Sili Xiaowei Department, which is now Zhongzhou, has not established a new military region.

Xu An moved the center of Taiping Road from Jinyang in Taiyuan County of Bingzhou to Yingtian County in Zhongzhou.

Now in Taipingdao, the military reform has almost been completed.

In Taipingdao, the reform of people's livelihood and political affairs has already begun.

The Han Dynasty implemented the system of prefectures and counties, with prefectures set up above the prefectures, and prefectures and governors in the prefectures.

After liberating Guanzhong, Xu An first carried out pilot reforms of people's livelihood and politics in Guanzhong, which is now Zhongzhou.

There is no state shepherd or governor in Zhongzhou, but three posts of governor, inspector, and governor are set up in imitation of the Ming system.

In the middle of the Chief Political Department, there are one left and one chief envoys, who are in charge of the civil affairs and finance of a state. There are also set up punishments according to the procuratorate to manage the criminal law, and the guardian envoys to manage the army.The three are collectively referred to as the "three divisions"

The three envoys manage the three divisions, and the full names of the three divisions are: Chengxuanzheng Division, Mention and Judgment Division, and Military Equipment Guard Division.

The meaning of Chengxuan is derived from the meaning of "the imperial court has virtues, bans, and publicity, and the following is a division", which is in charge of a state's civil affairs, finance, land, household registration, money and grain, and communication with governors and prefectures and counties.

With the chief minister as the official, the rank is the fourth rank, and the deputy chief minister is the official, the rank is the fourth rank.

The Judiciary for Mention of Punishment has the same powers as its name, with four characters for Judgment of Penalty.

The procuratorate is in charge of the judicial affairs of a state. The procuratorate is the chief official, with a rank of four ranks, and the deputy envoy of the procuratorate is an official, with a rank of four ranks.

The deputy envoy of the procuratorate assists the envoy of the procuratorate in handling a province's judicial prison, supervision and impeachment, governance of the post office, official assessment and other matters.

The Department of Defense of Military Equipment is in charge of the military affairs of a state. The envoy of the military guard is the main official, with a rank of four.

The rank of the Duhu envoy is the same as that of the Sizheng and Sizhen generals, and the rank of the Duhu deputy envoy is the same as that of the Si'an and Siping generals.

Those who have military positions can also hold official positions. This official position is actually set up for military officers in the Yellow Turban Army.

There are three requirements that must be fulfilled to serve as a guardian envoy.

First, to serve as the guardian envoy, one must reach Fangzhu in the Taiping Road and pass the review.

Second, you must be from the military and have studied for more than three months at the Taipingdao Army Academy and more than one year in the Lecture Hall.

Third, those with military ranks of Cong [-]th rank or above.

Three conditions are indispensable.

The generals at all levels are in charge of the soldiers, and the guardian envoys are mainly in charge of the local garrison and field soldiers.

In charge of announcing the administrative department, the punishment inspection department, and the military equipment guard department, they are divided into Qiangu, Xing, and Bing, and their assessments are directly assessed by the Central Military Government.

The status of the three envoys is equal, but generally speaking, the chief envoy is still respected, but the chief envoy does not have the right to govern the inspector and the general guard.

For important matters, the implementation of major measures, etc., all need to be jointly reviewed by the three divisions, and can only be implemented after an agreement is reached.

However, apart from the Third Division, there is actually another important institution—the Eagle Wolf Guard.

Xu An promoted the reform of the local administrative system in the Guanzhong area, and at the same time promoted the reform of the Eagle Wolf Guard.

When the Eagle Wolf Guard was first established, it developed rapidly, and there were many places that Xu An couldn't consider. After all, there was no other reference for the establishment of the Eagle Wolf Guard except for the Jinyi Guard in Xu An's mind.

Now, with the development and growth, the current system of the Eagle Wolf Guard has made them a little bloated and a little procrastinated. The once quite advanced system has now become relatively backward, and reforms are urgently needed.

So Xu An re-reformed the Eagle Wolf Guard system.

The Eagle Wolf Guard has always been a directly governed institution, selecting soldiers and Taoists who are the most loyal to the Taiping Dao. Therefore, there was not much opposition to the reform at all, and it was implemented very smoothly.

The Eagle Wolf Guard has one commander, who ranks up to the third rank, and two commanders and acquaintances, who rank the third rank.

Eagle guards and wolf guards have one town and one governor each, with a rank of four ranks and no deputy.

Taiping Road occupies Bingzhou, Liangzhou, and Zhongzhou, while the remaining ten states are still under the control of others.

Yingwei set up ten thousand household offices to manage spying and other affairs in ten states.

The Wolf Guard set up three Qianhu Offices to manage local supervision and other affairs in Bingzhou, Liangzhou, and Zhongzhou.

There is no limit to the number of people in the Thousand Households, it depends on the situation, and the commander of the Eagle Wolf Guard decides whether the quota is reasonable or not.

Now the headquarters of the Eagle Wolf Guard is established in Chang'an City, Yingtian County, Zhongzhou, and the Thousand Household Office of the Zhongzhou Eagle Wolf Guard is located outside Chang'an City.

In Chang'an City, Xu You was in charge of civil affairs in charge of the political history of Zhongzhou. serve.

Zhongzhou is now extremely important to the Yellow Turban Army. It is the political, economic, and cultural center of Taiping Road, and it is also the first place to implement the pilot reform of government affairs. Therefore, Xu An has carefully considered the selection of candidates.

Gong Du has enough prestige and experience to take up the post of Protector General, and Gong is the first general to follow under Xu An's command. The stability of Zhongzhou is the first, so the most suitable candidate for the Protectorate of Zhongzhou is undoubtedly Gong Du.

The procuratorate of Zhongzhou has a heavy responsibility. He is in charge of a state's judicial affairs, supervision and impeachment, governance post, official assessment and other important affairs. It needs a fair and strict chief official who enforces the law strictly. This official position can be said to be tailor-made for Wei Lvlai generally.

As for the chief envoy of Zhongzhou, after Xu An finally weighed the pros and cons, he handed it over to Xu You.

Xu You's former Internal Affairs Department in Jinyang has always been able to handle people's livelihood and political affairs with ease. He has made no mistakes for several years, and everything has been arranged in an orderly manner by him.

And the most important thing is that Xu You's merits can no longer be solved by a Lingjun of the Department of Internal Affairs alone.

When Xu An was promoted to Jia Xu as the Commander of the Chinese Army, Xu You's reaction at that time was taken into account by Xu An.

The reason why Xu You was not used was not because he thought Xu You would rebel.

In the current situation, Xu You joined the Taiping Dao very early, and forged a lot of enmity with the Han court. It can be said that basically there will be no more rebellion.

What's more, the monitoring place of the Eagle Wolf Guard has already built a sufficiently stable intelligence network inside the Taiping Road. Among the government offices, even the troubles in Liangzhou, Bingzhou, and now Zhongzhou can't hide it from Eagle Wolf. Guardian's eyes and ears.

The reason why Jia Xu was chosen as the mastermind is mainly because of his reputation in history. Jia Xu has served many masters. Although he often plans for himself in order to repay him, he always does his best every time. For the sake of the lord.

Moreover, in history, Jia Xu was superior to Xu You in terms of reputation, resourcefulness and evaluation. Coupled with the relationship between Jia Xu and Yan Zhong, Xu An also made the final decision.

It’s just that Xu An also understands that it is impossible for Xu You to be the commander of the Department of Internal Affairs all the time. There are not many counselors under Xu An’s command, and Yan Zhong’s health is getting worse. I can't help you too much. Now there are only two counselors in Taipingdao, Jia Xu and Xu You.

Retaining Xu You as the Department of Internal Affairs can only be said to be an overkill, and it will inevitably arouse Xu You's dissatisfaction.

This time, Xu An promoted Xu You to be the chief envoy of Zhongzhou, and Xu You, who had been quite dissatisfied for a long time, finally felt a little relieved.

The fourth grade is already a rare high-ranking official in the Taiping Dao.

You must know that in the current Yellow Turban Army, the highest military ranks of the generals and schools are only the fourth grade, and these are senior generals such as Gong Du, Lu Bu, and Ma Teng, and the rest of the generals are only titles even if they have made great military achievements No.) General.

Now in the Taiping Dao, Xu An is the Marquis of Jin, and the general of chariots and riders, and his official position is only the second rank.

After the reform of local administration came the reform of the Taipingdao central government system.

Originally, Xu'an set up the Central Military Office, the Ministry of War, the Department of Propaganda and Education, the Department of Internal Affairs, and the Department of External Affairs to take charge of various affairs.

At that time, Taiping Road only occupied the area of ​​Bingzhou, and Xu An simply divided its powers and levels, and there were not many problems at that time.

However, with the development of Taiping Road, from one place in Bingzhou, with a population of less than one million, to today's population of several million, across states and counties, many problems have arisen.

Now the official system of Taipingdao has undergone reforms and has evolved into one guard, three mansions, and nine ministries.

One Guard naturally refers to the Eagle Wolf Guard. As an intelligence gathering agency, the Eagle Wolf Guard is directly under Xu An, and its status is the highest. Liu Pi, as the commander of the Eagle Wolf Guard, ranks third.

You must know that the position of state shepherd is only a third-rank official position in Taiping Dao, which means that Liu Pi, the commander of the Eagle Wolf Guard, is already equivalent to the state shepherd of the same state.

The two mansions refer to the three mansions of Zhongjun Mansion, Zhongshu Mansion, and Xuanjiao Mansion.

When the meeting was held in Jinyang, it was determined that the Central Military Mansion was the highest commanding body of the Yellow Turban Army, and all military orders and government orders came from the Central Military Mansion and the various divisions under the Central Military Mansion.

In such a situation, two problems emerged. The first is that the Central Military Government has too much jurisdiction, and government affairs and military affairs are all from the Central Military Government. The second is that it is inconvenient to be in charge of multiple affairs.

So Xu An added the Zhongshufu to share the power of the Zhongjunfu.

The Zhongshu Office is in charge of confidentiality, issuing government orders, and evaluating officials.

The Central Army Mansion is in charge of military-related affairs. It is in charge of military and state affairs, military defense, border preparations, and military orders.

The Mission Mansion is also the Mission Department. Xu An changed the Department to the Mansion, and changed the Mission Department to the Mission Mansion.

In fact, both Jia Xu and Xu You felt a little weird about Xu An's move. In their opinion, a government office that preaches the scriptures should not have such a high status, and should not be in conflict with the Zhongjunfu and the Zhongshu. Two such important government departments are listed as government-level departments.

But in the end, Xu Anli overcame all opinions and confirmed the status of the Missionary Mansion, setting it as the third government-level department.

Xu An came from later generations, and he is very aware of the importance of publicity. Now Taipingdao has been developing in a better and better direction under his modification, and the new Taipingdao ideas have begun to take root in the territory of Taipingdao. thrive.

Newspaper offices in various places have been established one after another. Although those newspaper offices have just been established, they are quite simple, and the way of operation is still under consideration. It has cost a lot of money and food, but Xu An knows that it is worth it.

The propaganda wars of later generations are so terrifying that they can disintegrate a powerful country and subvert a country with just propaganda.

Although it is Han Dynasty, there is no TV, radio, Internet and other mass media, but the power of propaganda is still extremely powerful.

The Nine Divisions are the Ministry of Law, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Privy Council, and the Staff Department, which are the administrative departments at the ministerial level.

The original name of the Ministry of War was abolished, and the old Ministry of War was changed to the Privy Council, whose chief officer was the Privy Council.

The Ministry of Law, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Agricultural Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are seven departments under Zhongshufu.

The Privy Council and the General Staff Council are subordinate institutions of the Central Military Government.

The four division-level administrative departments of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Staff Council are newly established departments.

Under the Ministry of Officials, there are Sifeng Division, Sixun Division, and Examination Division, which are in charge of the appointment and removal, examination, promotion, promotion, and transfer of officials.

The Ministry of Industry is in charge of various projects, craftsmen, farming, water conservancy, transportation and other affairs, and the workshops in various places are also managed by the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Households is in charge of the country's territory, fields, household registration, taxes, salaries and all financial matters.Its internal government affairs are divided into divisions by region.

The General Staff is a newly established department responsible for a series of military activities such as the formulation of strategic plans and military training.

One is short, two are long.

Outstanding students who graduate from the lecture hall will become trainee staff officers of the staff department.

Afterwards, these trainee staff members will first enter the army. After experiencing several battles and gaining enough practical experience, they will be transferred back to the staff headquarters to participate in the formulation of various plans as a formal staff officer.

At present, schoolchildren in Taiping Road have not been widely enrolled, and there are not enough students. Therefore, the current staff is mostly older and more experienced generals and schools in the Yellow Turban Army.

But despite this, their minds are still clear. The experience of frontline combat keeps them from talking on paper, and the training in the martial arts hall allows them to combine knowledge and practice.

In the third year of Chuping, on October [-]st,
Taipingdao formally implemented the system of three government offices and nine departments.
