Borrow the day to change the day

() Unexpectedly, Zhong Jinwei spoke first: "Your Majesty, during this period of time, I was thinking that the Guan Ning army should not be allowed to run away without permission. If you learn everything, it will be more difficult to manage in the future.”

"Yes, I wonder what Mr. Zhong's opinion is?" Emperor Chongzhen put aside the question of how to arrange Zhong Jinwei as soon as he heard it. Obviously, he was more concerned about the topic at hand.

Zhong Jinwei first gave Emperor Chongzhen to the side of the table, let him sit down, and sat down himself.

Emperor Chongzhen has become numb to his etiquette in Zhong Jinwei, and he also knows that he comes from a different world. He has told himself this repeatedly before, and promised not to care about these things in advance. Besides, I want to be the master of Zhongxing , Those who make big things don't stick to small details.

Zhong Jinwei and Emperor Chongzhen sat down face to face, and then said: "Well, one is to control the logistics of the army. Without logistics supplies, you can't run away."

"I know this, and the courts of all dynasties have done this." Emperor Chongzhen thought that Zhong Jinwei had some good idea, and couldn't help being slightly disappointed when he heard it.

"It's not like it is now, I haven't finished yet." Zhong Jinwei said to Emperor Chongzhen with a smile, he knew that Emperor Chongzhen would be disappointed: Hehe, I did it on purpose, and I just pointed out the key points directly, which seemed unreasonable.

"Controlling the logistics of the army means that the quartermasters are exiled, and they are not under the jurisdiction of the military commander, that is, they are not under the jurisdiction of the generals, and then set up a supervisory agency."

Zhong Jinwei expressed his thoughts, and then waited for Emperor Chongzhen to comment, it is best to worship himself.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said, "I thought it was a good idea, you have everything you said."

After a pause, he looked at Zhong Jinwei and said, "I will tell you about the monitoring situation in this dynasty."

When Zhong Jinwei heard it, no, then why are there still running away, embezzling, and deducting military pay?

"There are two kinds of supervision mechanisms in this dynasty: eunuch supervising the army and civilian officials supervising the army. Among them, the eunuch supervising the army is divided into eunuchs, and each road is divided into guards, guards, and gun supervisors; civil servants include governors, governors, censors, patrols, etc. The responsibility of supervising the army."

"I know the eunuch who supervises the army, isn't the governor, the governor and the like also in charge of the army?"

"Have the right to command the army, and at the same time be supervised by patrols. Several types of people have the right to impeach relevant dereliction of duty personnel against me."

Zhong Jinwei rubbed his head, as if he didn't know much about the Ming Dynasty, but it seemed to be a very common problem for the Ming Dynasty's army to impersonate, withhold military pay, and use the state's salary to support their own servants. Why are these supervision mechanisms useless? ?

Thinking about my specific situation at that time, I asked Emperor Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, how many eunuchs, civil servants and other military supervisors are there, or how many people are there in an army, and what is the main supervisor?"

Emperor Chongzhen knew that Zhong Jinwei wanted to help him solve the problem, but he didn't know the specific situation, so he patiently explained to him: "An army usually sends an eunuch as a supervisor. Civil servants supervise the army, such as the governor and the governor's illegal situation."

Hearing this, Zhong Jinwei got a little clue, and waited for Emperor Chongzhen to finish speaking, "At first, civil servants only had the right to supervise the army, and later coordinated with the generals who commanded the army, and finally also had the right to lead the army."

Hearing this, Zhong Jinwei spoke directly: "Your Majesty, do you think that the supervision of the army is mainly to supervise the illegal activities of the leading generals, is that so?"

"Huh?" Emperor Chongzhen was a little confused, isn't it like this?

"Your Majesty, the current military supervision system may be applicable for a certain period of time, but it is definitely not suitable now, or there will be no army running away privately and breaking up halfway."

Emperor Chongzhen expressed his disapproval: "This time, the Guanning army returned to Ningyuan privately because I promised Yuan Chonghuan not to send eunuchs to supervise the army. Among the civil servants, since the death of Governor Bi, I also agreed to let him serve as the governor of Liaodong. "

Emperor Chongzhen still trusted Yuan Chonghuan too much!

"Your Majesty, let's not talk about this. I think that in this case, the following difficulties are knots that cannot be untied."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he brought back his disappointment.

"One, if the eunuchs sent by His Majesty are bought by the leading generals, it doesn't mean that they want to join forces and make trouble together. They don't have the guts to do that, but they can deduct their salaries together and resell military supplies. I'm afraid they can do it."

Emperor Chongzhen himself knew that it was impossible for all the slaves he sent out to be of high moral character.At the moment, he nodded.

"Second, if the sent eunuchs, according to the authority given by His Majesty, privately withhold military supplies and military salaries, blackmail the leading generals, and even mess up command in order to grab credit, is it possible for these to happen?"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded again, but said in his heart: I don't rely on these slaves, do I believe in the personal virtues of the generals?

Zhong Jinwei continued following his own train of thought: "These two situations will greatly affect the morale and combat capability of an army. In fact, not only eunuchs who supervise the army are like this, but even civilian officials who supervise the army may have such a situation. What's more Now that civil servants lead troops, it doesn’t mean that civil servants are not good at leading troops. But at present, shouldn’t most civil servants be familiar with leading troops in battle?”

"Of course, what is Mr. Zhong's opinion?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but nodded.

"Your Majesty, the character of one person cannot be trusted, so what about the character of a group of people? With another monitoring mechanism, will there be such a situation?"

"Mr. Zhong, please teach me." Emperor Chongzhen said to Zhong Jinwei sincerely.

"Don't dare, I'm just telling you based on my understanding. Like this: Your Majesty can let the quartermaster in the army come out du li, not under the jurisdiction of the leading generals. There is a separate system, and there is a quartermaster at any level and above. For example, a unit of hundreds of households has set up one at the beginning. This quartermaster has two functions: one is to distribute military supplies and salaries directly to the soldiers; General's command."

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was listening carefully, Zhong Jinwei spoke with satisfaction: "There are several advantages to doing this. One is that the quartermaster is not under the jurisdiction of the generals in charge of the army. He is in charge of the logistics of the military supply, which is tantamount to choking the lifeline of the army." , that is, the leader of the army has other ideas, such as wanting to deduct the military salary, or it is very difficult for those who make trouble. Second, the quartermasters at all levels pay the soldiers directly, which can prevent the middleman from being deducted from the military salary or being falsely paid. The third is that quartermasters also do ideological education work for soldiers, which is to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and let them know that the military pay is paid by His Majesty, which can effectively prevent generals from rebelling, because even if the general wants to rebel, the soldiers may not necessarily follow."

Emperor Chongzhen felt that Zhong Jinwei's statement was very novel, but it was not perfect, so he expressed his inner doubts: "Then if these quartermasters colluded to deduct military pay and supplies, how should we prevent it?"

"Assuming that the quartermasters all collude to deduct military supplies and military pay, then the soldiers can report to the superior general, and finally let the general in command report the situation to the relevant department or your Majesty."

Emperor Chongzhen got into the horns: "Then what if the general in charge of the army and all the quartermasters collude with each other to deduct the military pay?"

"Doesn't Your Majesty still have Jinyiwei and Dongchang? You can arrange them in, or among the soldiers, or among the quartermasters. If there is any corruption or other incidents, you can directly report to the relevant departments or Your Majesty."

Zhong Jinwei thought for a while, and added something: "Your Majesty can also arrange regular inspections such as censors and patrols, so that soldiers can have a second channel to report illegal things."

In the end, Zhong Jinwei concluded: "If these are implemented, the leading generals will only focus on fighting, and the quartermasters will be in charge of logistics and military thinking, and cooperate with other supervision measures, so that they can perform their duties, and winning battles will be no problem."

Although it was the first time I heard many of Zhong Jinwei's terms, it did not prevent Emperor Chongzhen from understanding the general meaning of Zhong Jinwei.Emperor Chongzhen felt that the content just now was a bit too much, so he began to review it slowly in his mind.

Zhong Jinwei looked at Emperor Chongzhen's pensive look, and knew that he was seriously thinking about his method.He was not at all worried that Emperor Chongzhen would completely deny this method, because:

The first is that this method is completely conceived from his point of view, and it will only benefit him.

The second is that he knew that Emperor Chongzhen was an enlightened person. Although he heard this content for the first time, as long as he thought it was good, he would definitely agree. Let him revise the calendar.Alas, I forgot about Xu Guangqi, this great man has not been introduced to Emperor Chongzhen yet.Will give him a key recommendation later.

Emperor Chongzhen thought it over and over again, and felt that it was a good strategy in general, and it could solve the current problems in the army.But there are some details that are worth considering; moreover, for such an important matter, one has to be cautious.

"Mr. Zhong's words are really clever. I think about it, and his strategy is almost flawless. But this matter is related to the army, so we must be cautious."

"Hehe, Your Majesty has won the award because of Zu Dashou. I thought about it for a few days to see if I can help Your Majesty solve problems." Tsk, in fact, it is just a reference to the practice of later generations, but no one in this world knows. .

"You write this strategy into a memorial, and show it to me in detail." Emperor Chongzhen said solemnly.

I hate writing weekly or monthly project reports the most. I don’t want to come to this world and have to write reports. However, if you don’t want to return, you still have to take action.

"No problem, I'll write to you later." Just after finishing speaking, Zhong Jinwei thought of something, and immediately added with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, I don't know how to write traditional Chinese characters, which are the characters of your world."

Well, this is a problem. Emperor Chongzhen nodded, but he didn't want others to know about this matter. It was spread everywhere, so let Wang Chengen write it and Zhong Jinwei describe it.

"Your Majesty, I forgot. I have a secretary. I said, let Archie write it." Unexpectedly, Zhong Jinwei came up with a solution first.

Archie, that's okay, don't worry about her leaking the news.Emperor Chongzhen nodded in agreement.

At this time, Wang Chengen from outside came to report: "Your Majesty, Sun Chengzong, a scholar of Zhongji Palace and Minister of the Ministry of War, came to see you."

"Oh, Master Sun came to see me. I think there is something important. Then I will go back first. After Archie finishes writing, give the memorial to Wang Chengen himself, and ask him to give it to me directly." I went to see Sun Chengzong.

"Ah!" After Emperor Chongzhen left, Zhong Jinwei remembered that he forgot to recommend Xu Guangqi, and couldn't help but knocked himself on the head.

It's okay, don't worry for a while, Zhong Jinwei comforted himself, and then shouted outside the hall: "Daughter-in-law, come and help me, my husband's leg is numb."

There was no movement outside the hall, um, what happened to Archie?Isn't it outside the palace? Did something happen?
