A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 324 Layout

Zhang Gui's strategy is very feasible. I heard that in the past two years, his disciples have taken in some poor literati. They must have come up with this series of plans. After all, Zhang Gui was born in a martial arts family and cannot read a single word. It is impossible to sort out such a complete plan. civil policy.

However, in Wang Dou's view, these farming strategies are rare among the officers and generals of the guards of the Ming Dynasty, but their eyes have not yet jumped out of Bao'an Prefecture and considered it from the perspective of the entire Xuanzhen East Road.

It's no wonder Zhang Gui and the others, affected by their vision and talent, they can't see so far for the time being.In terms of Huailong Dao in Xuanfu Town, a small number of civil affairs talents are concentrated in Yongning City, and most civil affairs talents are concentrated in Huailai City, which is directly controlled by Huailong Bingbei Dao.

In fact, in the future, Wang Dou will take up the post in Yongning City. As a local general, his responsibilities are nothing more than training horses, sorting out equipment, and repairing pass piers and fortresses.Governing the land is only incidental to government affairs.The military and civil affairs in the true Dao are in the hands of Huailong Bingbei Dao.

It also manages military preparations, garrison horse administration, supervises the training of generals, guerrillas, etc., and has great power in charge.Back then, Mao Bin, a guerrilla on the East Road, and Zhang Guowei, a general on the East Road, were respectful and respectful in front of Ji Shiwei, who was only a fourth-rank soldier.

Even if he is well-known all over the world, the situation of the gentlemen and the military has changed, but in the future when it comes to civil affairs and farming, there will definitely be a fierce competition between himself and the current Huailong Bingbeidao.

If you are not in the position, you will not seek the government, but when you are in the position, you need talents with more ability and far-sightedness.It's a pity that there are no such talents under my command at present.Not to mention Zhang Gui and Lin Daofu, among the literati, Wang Dou's most favored official, Feng Dachang, is also good at practical affairs and short in strategy.

Wang Dou put down the copy in his hand, stood up and paced in the cabinet: "The strategy drawn up by Zhang Qian will be detailed. However, I want to remind everyone that we are not governing a state and a city at the moment. It is necessary to overlook the overall situation from a high position.”

"We need to count the acres of land along the road, Dingkou, mines, pastures, and forests. In the future, large-scale farmland will be set up, and factories, mines and livestock farms will be established."

"Agricultural prosperity leads to prosperous business. In the future, we need to set up a tax bureau on East Road to collect commercial taxes and trade with the rest. Establish a bank to regulate prices and prevent profiteers from making trouble."

"We will set up schools all over the road, so that the common people can learn about etiquette, righteousness, honesty and shame, and follow the teachings of saints."

"We will vigorously build bridges and roads in the road to facilitate people's livelihood and travel."

"We need to develop intelligence spies to prevent ulterior motives from outside the road."

"The military industry also needs to be perfected. Build armor and guns, build tens of thousands of strong troops, protect the environment and the people, worry about the worries of the emperor, keep captives and suppress thieves.... There are all kinds of things in this area that need to be thought about. It is intended that within three to five years, everyone in the territory will have food to eat and create a land of Taoyuan."

Wang Dou's words made everyone in the room speechless. Many people felt that they couldn't keep up with their thinking. With the route and enthusiasm to follow.

The official Feng Dachang stood up, gave a deep salute, and said: "The general's foresight, the students are really ashamed, they can't compare."

Wang Dourou said: "Mr. Feng is over-reputed, Mr. is able to handle affairs, and I will rely on a lot in these years."

After signaling Feng Dachang to sit down, Wang Dou continued: "For future planning, I decided to set up a shogunate with a staff department, a military training department, an intelligence department, a township department, a logistics department, a finance department, a civil affairs department, and a education department. Each division has a number of divisions, and the increase and dismissal are uncertain, depending on the future development of the situation."

It was another heavy artillery shell, and everyone in the room lamented the ambition of General Dingguo, which made people speechless.The shogunate is not uncommon. Many officials and generals in the Ming Dynasty have them under their command. However, the division is so detailed and the powers are so clear. This is the first time everyone in the venue has heard of it.

Many people present were old people who followed Wang Dou back then. Wang Dou back then was just an ordinary soldier just like them. efficient.

Literally speaking, the staff department must be the staff Zanhua next to the generals of the Ming Dynasty.However, unlike them, General Dingguo seems to want to use the Chief of Staff to command the war and Lao Lao to hold the military power to avoid the emergence of future warlords.

According to the current military system of the Shun Township Army, supplemented by intelligence maps, this is very likely to be realized, and there will be no worries about talking about soldiers on paper.

The Chief of Staff must be very powerful, so I don't know who will be in charge.

It is not surprising that the military training department, the intelligence department, and the township department are in charge. Lin Daofu, Wen Daxing, and Chi Dacheng used to be in charge of this area of ​​affairs, but now their responsibilities are more clearly defined.

The Logistics Department and the Civil Affairs Department are also easy to understand, and the Education Department... Reminiscent of the comfort officer set up in the army, everyone also understands the meaning of General Dingguo.

The more they thought about it, the more everyone sucked in the air. General Dingguo's move had a faint intention of a small court.The shogunate is like the cabinet, the staff department is equivalent to the Ministry of War, and the finance department and civil affairs department are like the integration of the household department and the industry department.The Education Department is like the Ministry of Rites, and the Zhenfu Department is equivalent to the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and even has the functions of a part of the Ministry of Officials.

General Dingguo's thoughts are getting bigger and bigger. Are you hesitating or following closely?Right now, this team is full of vigor, and the prospects are brighter and brighter. If you don't make a decision at the critical moment, you will be in danger of falling behind under the command of General Dingguo in the future.

Wang Dou was quiet for a while, letting everyone digest the series of heavy shells he had just thrown, he returned to his seat, and said: "Each department has a chief officer appointed, and the matter is of great importance, and all officials will discuss it in detail before making a decision.

……

It was almost noon, and it was still raining continuously. After the meeting was over, Wang Doulu and the officials had lunch, and then they all left respectfully.

Although the discussion was over, the shock in everyone's hearts still lingered and couldn't leave. General Dingguo was very bold, and they couldn't lag behind.In the morning's discussion, it was decided that the head of the shogunate's copywriting, the candidates for the intelligence department and the ambassador of the Zhenfu department were Feng Dachang, Wen Daxing and Chi Dacheng respectively.

The candidates for the other divisions have not yet been determined. Who are the candidates for the ambassador and deputy envoy of the Special Staff Division?

Everyone left the gate of the General's Mansion, each with their own concerns, exchanged pleasantries and then left in twos and threes.Wen Fangliang stared at the drizzle in the sky, saw Zhong Tiaoyang, Han Chao, and the official Zhong Zhengxian walking out beside him, and said with a smile: "The general told us to leave these days, and we have nothing to do in the afternoon, how about the three of you come to my house for a drink? "

Han Chao smiled and said: "I promised my wife, I will accompany you in the afternoon, and in the evening, I will definitely visit you."

Wen Fangliang pointed at Han Chao and laughed loudly: "I didn't expect that Old Han is also a person who fears guilt, so let's go tonight."

Zhong Tiaoyang's side was dragged by his father. He also apologized and said that he had something to do in the afternoon, and visited with Mr. Han Qian at night.

Everyone bid farewell, Wen Fangliang returned to his mansion, which was a house in Cheng'enfang, Zhoucheng, not far from the residence of Guantun Guan Zhang Gui.The Wen family is rich, and they had established this house in Zhoucheng as early as when Wen Fangliang was the deputy thousand householder of Shun Xiangbao.

Back in the mansion, Wen Fangliang drove away a lot of wives, concubines and children who came forward to act like a spoiled child. He just wanted to go to the study alone and be quiet.

In fact, Wen Fangliang didn't read very much, but starting from Shunxiang Fort, after hearing that Wang Dou, the defense officer at that time, could not put down the scroll, the generals beside him, no matter whether they were literate or not, all set up a study room with elegance.

As the Shunxiang Army's requirements for the knowledge of generals increased, no matter what, even if they were as rough as Gao Shiyin and others, each of them knew at least a few hundred or a thousand characters.

Sitting down in his study room, brewing a cup of fragrant tea, quietly watching the drizzle outside the window, Wen Fangliang sorted out his thoughts.This is a habit he has developed over the years. He sits in the study every day, reminiscing about the gains and losses of the day, and often gains something.

He thought quietly, at this moment, how can he look like a playboy?
After an unknown period of time, Wen Fangliang woke up, but his servants reported that it was his uncle Wen Shiyan's visit.

Wen Fangliang felt a little strange, his uncle, as the commander of the security guards, had been staying in the Acropolis, why did he come to visit?

When he went out, Wen Shiyan came in. He was dressed in ordinary clothes, with long flowing beard, elegant and handsome, not like a military officer, but like a literati.Wen's family seems to have all the handsome men in Baoan Prefecture, Wen Fangliang aside, this Wen Shiyan is nearly fifty years old, and he is still handsome.

"Uncle came to the humble house, why?"

Wen Fangliang welcomed Wen Shiyan into his study, asked his servants to serve him a cup of fragrant tea, and returned to his hippie smiling face.

"It's okay, I just came to see you."

In the past, seeing Wen Fangliang's expression like this, Wen Shiyan would definitely scold him, but today he is restless.

Sitting down in the seat, Wen Shiyan took a sip of tea slowly, and seemed to have something hard to say, after a while, he still said it: "Lianger, in the past, my uncle was disrespectful to General Dingguo. What do you think?"

Wen Fangliang restrained his smile, and said lightly: "General Dingguo is generous, how can he take the small gaps of the past in his heart?"

Wen Shiyan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."

At the same time, I was secretly disappointed, maybe in Wang Dou's heart, the current self is an insignificant person, right?It's not worth dealing with.

Then he pondered: "It's still not right, if it's convenient for my nephew, I'd better introduce one or two for my uncle, and I will apologize to the general in person."

Wen Fangliang shook his head, as his uncle, he was eager for fame and fame, and in the past he had conflicts with General Dingguo, but now seeing that General Dingguo is in full swing, he made up his mind in this regard.

He sighed: "Nephew, do your best, you know, the general is very busy."

Wen Shiyan heard that Wen Fangliang was trying to shirk, and frowned: "I have been introduced by my nephew, and it will definitely succeed. Now you are highly valued by the general. I heard that he intends to recommend you to guard Baoan Prefecture?"

Wen Fangliang got up and walked to the window, and said, "I used to have this idea, but after today, I don't have this idea."

Wen Shiyan was startled and said, "Liang'er, why?"

Wen Fangliang sighed: "This time I entered the guard with the general, and I felt a lot after the first battle. With the development of the general, it will be no problem for me to be appointed as a marquis and prime minister in the future. What is a mere defense? The most important thing is to be with you." It is the right way to improve your qualifications and increase your closeness."
