Chapter 574 The right to know Hangzhou military affairs 20
Wang Xiu handed the pond newspaper to Yin Yu and said, "Let's see it, a scholar."

Yin Xuan shook his head and refused to answer, and declined: "The court's secrets are not for me to read in casual clothes, and we need to be careful about the text."

"The words of the scholar are wrong. Family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs are all concerned. As a great Confucian, it is natural for a scholar to discuss politics. It is not a military secret, let alone the status of an envoy." Wang Xiu disagreed, and he agreed with the silence of the field scholar-bureaucrats , if the scholar-officials do not care about politics, the government and the opposition will be a pool of stagnant water.

"Family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs are good. I care about everything. This old man is short-sighted." Yin Zhen was exaggerated by Wang Xiu's demeanor, so he couldn't help taking the pond newspaper, opened it, and handed it to Li Tong with a solemn expression.

Wang Xiu gave a long sigh, and said in a deep voice: "The new military system of the imperial court has not been officially promulgated, and Mr. Zhang cannot afford to be seriously ill. It is really worrying." Complicated thoughts.

In order to stabilize the overall situation, he must rely heavily on Sun Fu, Tang Ge, Zhang Shuye, Li Gang and others, because the younger generation has not grown up, and these people are not fake against him, but they are all heroes in the world, and they can relatively understand his ruling philosophy , He also knows them better, and it can be said that no one can replace them.

The crisis of Zong Ze's death made him come to the fore forcefully, and Li Gang also left the power center, suppressing Zhang Qiyuan and Zhang Shuye by the way. There are heavy soldiers in his hands, and a [-]-year-old man is bedridden. The situation is very dire.He sent out the big cake of military system reform, but he did not expect that there would be accidents. Zhang Shuye, who was supposed to be the mainstay, was likely to be eliminated, and the Privy Council affairs became the target of everyone's eyes.

Yin Xuan was deeply moved, and said: "The frontier is chaotic, Zhang Xianggong is nearly [-] years old, and it is difficult for him to preside over the Privy Council."

Li Tong handed the pond paper back to Zong Liang without even looking at it, shook his head and said, "Politics is not my specialty!" After saying that, he bowed his hands to Wang Xiu and drifted away.

Wang Xiu did not persuade him to stay. To the Neo Confucianist who is self-reliant, he must not disobey his wishes, otherwise it will be difficult to speak.

Yin Zhen looked at Li Tong's back, and sighed, "It's a pity that I hope that the high-level talents will not be given to the state affairs!"

Wang Xiu shook his head. He hoped that ordinary scholars would discuss politics, but he did not insist that everyone should discuss politics. People's ambitions cannot be forced!Indifferently said: "Everyone has their own ambitions. I recruit talents for the court, but I can't take away people's ambitions. I only hope that all the great sages can cultivate pillars for the court and build a debate hall, so we can express our opinions."

Just as Wang Xiu was restless, Zhang Shuye fell ill suddenly, which made him slowly pilot reforms in Hangzhou. Zhang Shuye, Qin Hui and others had changed their plans to reform the military system.He really considered that Uncle Zhang was bedridden at night, and the tone in the Tang newspaper seemed to be very serious. If an accident happened, the situation in the court might be disrupted. He couldn't fully trust Qin Hui, Fan Zongyin and others.

Although the new military system was the consensus of the imperial court and a big cake for the two governments, the control and establishment of additional institutions caused a heated debate in the imperial court.

Hu Anguo, the new minister of the Ministry of War, advocated slow implementation, claiming that the reform was too hasty, and that the suggestions should be tried and implemented one by one, and then implemented to the whole army. However, his son, Hu Yin, was an enthusiastic supporter of the new military system. Years can form an army to defend against the enemy.

For this reason, the father and son with different ideas actually had a public debate, which was talked about by various tabloids in the industry.

Just as there was a lot of discussion, Zhang Shuye unexpectedly fell ill and did not participate in the final decision on the new military system. Tan Shiji and Cai Yi temporarily presided over the Privy Council, and of course agreed with Wang Xiu's proposition.With the appeal of Qin Hui, Fan Zongyin and other important officials, Sun Fu and Tang Ge also tended to speed up the implementation of the new military system, and with Zhu Lian's support, the immediate implementation of military system reform in the imperial court was in full swing.

Zhang Shuye's condition has just stabilized, and the new military system has finally been formally implemented.

"Dianbing is in charge of the yamen, which is in charge of the Privy Council and the military department. It controls the Dianqiansi, Mabu Shuixin Sanya, and the Military Weapons Supervision, Weiwei Temple, and Taipu Temple. The responsibilities are slightly changed. The Privy Council is in charge of military affairs, military defense, and border preparation It is also the highest military advisory body of the government, and the Privy Council is added to join the military department, which is prepared for the Privy Envoys to question military aircraft, and helps the Privy Council to take charge of military defense and military and horse decrees. It consists of 83 generals of the Imperial Army.”

"Responsibilities of the Ministry of War include by-election and promotion and transfer of military officers of the sixth rank and below; recruitment of soldiers, relocation of officials and soldiers, and retirement; post pass, logistics and military resources, in charge of Fangsi envoys and Duyu Housijun Judge, there is no deputy to sign, and any military order of the general is invalid. The Weiwei Temple is in charge of the storage of armour, the guard of honor travels, the military supervisor is in charge of the research and supervision of the production of military weapons, and the Taipu Temple is in charge of the horse administration. "

"The original Sanya was changed to the commander of the three armies of guards, horses, infantry, and water. He was in charge of the affairs of the forbidden army in the world. He supervised the training of each army, suggested rewards and punishments for officers and soldiers, and made suggestions for equipment. The names of the generals of each department. , form an army alone, and the status is equal to that of the Privy Council who joined the army."

"Add the Commanding Division of the Northern Guards' Army, the West's Guards' Army Command, and the South's Guards' Army Commanding Division to take charge of battles and farms. The military law of generals is gradually abolished, and the commanding divisions set up troops, brigades, battalions, teams, There are eight levels of capital, banner, and even, each with its own school, Peixin General School, and the Military Academy of the Ministry of War is the highest school."

Zhang Bofen was reading the imperial edict, Zhang Shu was lying on the couch in the middle of the night, Zhang Zhongxiong was waiting on him.

"I didn't expect that there would be changes in more than ten days. The court has never been so decisive in doing things. It seems that Wang Xiu is determined!" Zhang Shuye coughed twice.

Zhang Zhongxiong asked suspiciously: "Could it be that the court's quick decision on government affairs is not satisfactory?"

Zhang Shuye smiled faintly, and said tiredly: "You are all too young, and some things are not clear enough. Add military judges, set up the Privy Council to join the military department, restore the former military officers in Yuanfeng, and re-instate the officers. Well, Very interesting!"

Zhang Zhongxiong hesitated for a while, and said hesitantly: "The child is ignorant, and I don't know what Wang Xianggong means."

Zhang Shuye smiled coldly, and said: "Be careful when you are on duty in the Privy Council, and you will understand slowly." After finishing speaking, he signaled Zhang Bofen to continue.

Not to mention what happened, the new military system also caused a sensation in the two major Xuanfu divisions. Zhang Qiyuan and Xu Han walked very close. When he saw the imperial edict, he couldn't help but say: "Restore the name of the military rank officer before Yuanfeng. Still use military ranks to determine salaries, posts are paid for, and Wusan officials are called titles. Doesn’t Wang Wenshi not know that after Yuanfeng, the ranks were changed, and Wusan officials were replaced by Tibetan officials?

"Also, the military officer's job, martial rank, and casual number are parallel, and the military rank and casual number are equal. General No. [-], and Wei Jin Yu Feng again, it’s a mess.”

Xu Han's eyelids trembled, he really didn't know what to say.
