"Your Majesty, the responsibilities of the Military Discipline Inspection Department of the Ming Dynasty partly overlap with those of the Supervisory Yuan and Dali Temple, but they only target the 26th Guards' troops. This makes it easier for the Supervisory Yuan to be at the same level as the Six Ministries.
However, the supervisory envoy is assigned to the second rank, the left and right supervisors are to the third rank, and the subordinate organizations are of the same rank as the four divisions under the six ministries. What does Your Majesty think? "
Sun Chengzong thought for a moment and then gave a reply.
Chongzhen was very satisfied with this: "My dear friends, do you have any doubts?"
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
"good!"
Chongzhen stood up and walked to the edge of the platform: "Then according to what Sun Aiqing said, the Military Discipline Supervision Department of the Ming Dynasty is at the same level as the Six Ministries and Three Divisions, and is directly responsible to me."
"Since it was proposed by Li Banghua, then Li Banghua will serve as the first supervisor, and Li Banghua will be appointed as the subordinate supervisor and third division doctor."
"Master Li, you still don't want to thank me!"
After Chongzhen finished speaking, the hall became quiet, but Li Banghua was not found to express his gratitude.
Guo Yunhou, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue next to Li Banghua, pulled Li Banghua's clothes and whispered a reminder.
"I accept the order and thank you!"
Li Banghua, who was awakened, immediately knelt down.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that yesterday he was wondering why the emperor asked him to mention it in the court, and now he also guessed the emperor's intention.
The Military Discipline Inspection Department of the Ming Dynasty is only targeting the 26th Guards now, but will definitely target the entire army in the future.
If the ministers agree to the proposal at the court meeting, it will be regarded as a court meeting, and it will be justified to the entire army in the future.
If the ministers object again, then talk to the ministers about today's matter. This is a conspiracy.
As long as the new ministry operates stably, the next thing will be much easier to handle.
The ministers in the main hall looked at Li Banghua with envy in their eyes. The left minister of the Ministry of War temporarily led the Ministry of War and the five-city inspection department.
Now he is also the first inspector of the Ming Dynasty's Military Discipline and Supervision Department, and he is destined to leave a mark in history.
"Okay, dear ladies, do you have anything else to report?"
Facing Chongzhen's inquiry, the officials responded again and respectfully sent Chongzhen off from Huangji Hall.
After a while, the ministers who came out of Huangji Hall became lively.
"Mr. Sun Ge, your Majesty has a very big intention with this move!"
"Haha, I am very happy. This move can greatly change the atmosphere of the army and keep the army energetic. I also wanted to do it before, but I had no choice..."
"What Mr. Ge said is true, but now that the examination method is implemented in the 21st Guards, will it be implemented in the imperial court in the future? This..."
"What are you afraid of?"
Sun Chengzong's eyes slowly scanned the crowd: "You are all people who want to do practical things for the court. In this case, why are you afraid of passing the exam? Your Majesty is young and enlightened. As long as we do it seriously, Your Majesty will not be indifferent to right from wrong. , let’s all get busy!”
The ministers slowly dispersed, and the nobles on the other side slowly gathered together.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty's plan is obvious. Why didn't you refuse just now? If we are included in the Military Discipline Inspection Department of the Ming Dynasty in the future, what about us?"
The British Duke turned around and glanced at Huangji Palace, sighing: "You can calculate for yourselves the power that His Majesty currently controls."
After saying this, he stopped talking to everyone and walked straight out of the palace.
The nobles who stayed there were stunned for a moment, and then their faces became increasingly ugly. Unknowingly, the power controlled by His Majesty has far exceeded everyone's expectations.
It's not that they ignored it, but that things developed too fast, and His Majesty's actions were too fast.
"Let's go, be more honest from now on and keep your tail between your legs!"
The nobles and nobles left with ugly expressions.
And Li Banghua, the initiator of the whole incident, was in Dongnuan Pavilion.
"Your Majesty, I know the general responsibilities of the Military Discipline Inspection Department of the Ming Dynasty, but I don't quite understand the responsibilities of the military police, supervisors, secretaries, and merit and demerits department below. Please tell me, Your Majesty!"
Faced with Li Banghua's doubts, Chongzhen chuckled. He created the Ming Dynasty's Military Discipline Inspection Department by combining the military systems and examination methods of later generations. It was normal for Li Banghua to be unclear about it.
"The Military Police Department is mainly responsible for maintaining military regulations and ensuring the execution of military orders. It is similar to the Dali Temple in the military."
"The Secretary's Department is the one that has passed the examination and is responsible for registering and writing off work tasks at all levels in the military."
"The Merits and Demerits Department is responsible for recording the merits and demerits of sergeants and generals in the army, as well as providing opinions on promotions and demotions, but it has no decision-making power!"
"The Supervision Department is similar to the combination of the Criminal Department and the Jin Yiwei. It is responsible for arresting and detaining those who violate military regulations in the army."
…
Chongzhen explained to Li Banghua what he had in mind one by one. The more Li Banghua listened, the more shocked he became. He saw refinement, decentralization, and independence from this department.
The responsibilities of the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers were shared by the Ministry of Military Discipline Supervision of the Ming Dynasty, which invisibly weakened the rights of the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers.
Once power is divided, it is easier to control.
In fact, Chongzhen did not think so. The second reason for decentralization of power is that the power of the current six ministries and nine ministers is too concentrated and too broad, with serious overlap.
For example, the Ministry of Household Affairs is in charge of civil affairs, land, food, taxation, etc. One Ministry of Household Affairs is responsible for the affairs of four or five ministries in later generations, and there are not that many people.
The six ministries and nine ministers seemed to be able to impeach matters concerning the Supervisory Office. The responsibilities of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Work also overlapped, and the responsibilities of the Jinyiwei, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Dali Temple also overlapped.
In the city of Beijing alone, the ministries responsible for the security of the city include the Five City Military and Horse Division, patrol battalion, city patrol censor, factory guard, Wanda County of Shuntian Prefecture, etc. It is a mess, and incidents of buck-passing occur from time to time.
It seems that the system of later generations can be transferred over if it is optimized based on history.
"Your Majesty, I have an idea!"
Li Banghua calmed down and looked at Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I would like to select some of the eunuchs to serve in the four divisions under the Military Discipline Inspection Department of the Ming Dynasty."
Chongzhen was slightly startled: "Li Aiqing, I believe in you."
"Your Majesty, this is not a question of whether you trust me or not. The Military Discipline Supervision Department of the Ming Dynasty is too important. This is the foundation for ensuring the combat effectiveness of the Ming Army. I can naturally do a good job here, but what about the future supervisors?
The existence of eunuchs depends on the imperial power. As long as His Majesty controls the military power, the eunuchs will not collude with the courtiers, and the independence and purity of the Supervision Department can be guaranteed. "
Chongzhen was silent, he could feel Li Banghua's sincere heart.
After encouraging Li Banghua a few words, Chongzhen suddenly became interested: "Li Aiqing, what are the assessment methods after the rectification?"
"Your Majesty, there are three main categories. First, weapons training, which is divided into cold weapons and firearms. The assessment of cold weapons is related to the type of arms, such as spears, bows and arrows, etc.
Second, the physical strength assessment is divided into weight-bearing and wrestling. Physical strength mainly includes lifting stone locks, driving wooden stakes and wrestling while wearing armor.
Third, queue formation. The basic formations mainly include square formation, circle formation, number formation, flying goose formation and sparse formation. "
After hearing this, Chongzhen frowned slightly.
Chongzhen knew nothing about the training of weapons and formations and was not qualified to comment, but this physical training was too rough.
I do know a bit about endurance training. After all, the training of later generations was developed through constant exploration and is more scientific.
"Li Aiqing, go ahead and do your work first. After tomorrow morning, you will summon Fang Zhenghua, Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, Li Ruolian, and the commander of the 21st Guards to the station of the Four Guards of Tengxiang. I have something to arrange. , let them wear fancy clothes!”
