Chapter 563 The Noisy Court Bureau ([-])

At the end of Xushi, the night was a bit late, but the third master did not go to rest, and was still chatting with Chen and Li in the study. It seemed to be casual, but in fact, the sight was He glanced at the screen at the door from time to time, the look of anticipation in his eyes was really strong, and there was naturally only one person who could make the third master wait like this, and that was Hong Qing.

The third master is indeed a little impatient, nothing else, Hong Qing has been gone for more than two hours, and there is no turning around. Before the old thirteen can't figure out the details, there is really nothing to discuss , can only be nonsense, but the third master is worried too much at the moment, so there is no such thing as gossip, so he just hums inappropriately, and he is very irritated when he suddenly hears There was a sound of footsteps, and soon Hong Qing, who was dressed in green, had turned around from behind the screen, and the eyes of the third master followed the prestige, and his eyes immediately lit up. , but the slightly flushed face has clearly expressed the desire in the third master's heart.

"The child has met the father, the master, and Mr. Li."

The longing expression on the third master's face is so obvious, it is impossible for Hong Qing not to see it, and it is inevitable that there will be a laugh in her heart, but she does not dare to bring it to her face, so she can only hold back and rush to the front, respectfully He saluted and greeted him very much.

"Well, Qing'er is back, sit down and talk."

Although the third master was impatient, he was not so impatient that he would be rude, so he just raised his hand and kindly gave him a seat.

"Thank you, father, for giving me the seat."

Hong Qing had always behaved well-behaved in front of the third master, and this time was of course no exception, but after seeing him thank you humbly, she walked slowly to the back of a group of children and lifted her clothes The hem of the robe sat down at this point, but he did not rush to speak, but bowed slightly, as if he was listening to the instruction.

"What did your thirteenth uncle say?"

The third master was very satisfied with Hong Qing's respectful behavior, but he didn't say much praise, he just nodded and went straight to the point.

"So that my father can know that Thirteenth Uncle has decided to compete with Fourteenth Uncle tomorrow, and I have already read this chapter, which is more secure and feasible than Fourteenth Uncle's."

Since the third master asked, Hong Qing would not hide anything, so he gave a programmatic conclusion first.

"Oh?"

What the third master cares about is not whether the old thirteen will go to the book, but wants to know what the connotation of this chapter is, nothing else, military power has always been the foundation of the country, if the old thirteen takes advantage of the opportunity to organize the army It is obviously not a good thing for the third master to control the army, but it is not easy to say this clearly, so the third master can only make a noncommittal noncommittal, and signal Hong Qing with his eyes. Then I went on to talk about it in detail.

"Father Wang Mingjian, Thirteenth Uncle's excerpts are nearly ten thousand words, not only related to the upgrading of armaments, but also not only the plan for reorganizing the army, but also the organizational reform of the Ministry of War. The upgrading of armaments follows the former two. Specifically, under the framework of the Ministry of War, the establishment of the General Staff Headquarters, the Logistics Headquarters, and the headquarters of each service and arms, and the establishment of military academies at all levels, in order to realize the professionalism of military education. Transformation, comprehensively improve the commanding ability of generals at all levels, and provide basic officers for the new army to achieve the goal of military innovation. If we can really follow this, the combat power of our Qing army can be increased by more than ten times. The blessing of the country is also, my foundation in the Qing Dynasty will be safe forever!"

The excerpt was originally written by Hong Qing, so if I want to say it now, I can recite the whole text, but Hong Qing didn't do that, but just explained the central idea of ​​the excerpt.

"Hmm.... With such a revolution in military affairs, the commotion is too big. Is it inappropriate if there is something too big to get rid of?"

The third master doesn't understand the military affairs of the new army at all. Even if Hong Qing made it clear, he is still confused. Of course, the third master doesn't really care about the success of the military reform. It's just whether the old thirteen will rise because of this, and because of this, the third master is hardly satisfied with Hong Qing's answer, but it's not easy to ask directly, so he can only nod his head ponderously, and ask in a roundabout way Out of worry.

"Returning to the father, the child has also stayed in the new army, and he is not unfamiliar with the affairs of the new army. Looking at the changes made by the thirteenth uncle this time, it is precisely to protect the combat power of the army, and reasonably avoid unruly gangsters. There is no other possibility for soldiers to be self-respecting. From the perspective of the structure of the Ministry of War, although it has the power to organize and manage the army, it has no power to mobilize troops. The country is divided into eight military regions, led by eight governors, each with a new type of military brigade Some, with [-] people as the unit, set up a division-level organizational system. The chief officers and governors of each division are appointed every four years. The rotation system ensures that the military regions and divisions will not be easily manipulated by ambitious people. Furthermore, the existence of the military academy system, It also avoids the possibility of relying on close relatives of generals at all levels to reproduce to the greatest extent. At the same time, the configuration of the main forces and divisions is basically the same. The combat power of the army, in short, is that no one can easily mobilize the army except the emperor's order, and it is impossible to lose the tail!"

The matter of military reform is very complicated, so it is impossible to explain it clearly in a few words. In addition, the third master, Chen, and Li are not very proficient in this field, so Hong Qing can only pick up the important aspects. So, it is also a long story, but in the end, it gave the third master a clear answer.

"The thirteenth brother is really courageous. Such a huge change, if you want to pass the court council, it may not be so easy. Moreover, it involves such a huge amount, and it may not be possible to realize it without several years of operation. , if the courtiers raised a group of questions, it may not be possible to go smoothly."

The third master still trusts Hongqing very much. Although he himself can't figure out the connotation of this military reform for a while, since Hongqing has made a guarantee, the third master believes it, but he doesn't. He thought that the old thirteen's reform book could easily pass the court meeting.

"Father is very worried. It is impossible to achieve such a huge change in one go. After all, it has to be done step by step. Uncle Thirteen also wrote this in his booklet. According to what he said, the Military Academy Fang is the core of this change. If this can be carried out, everything can be done around it. As for the renewal of military equipment in the whole world, it can be gradually planned. First, Zhili will be used as a pilot point. It will be effective within a year or so, and it won’t be too late to spread it to the whole world after Zhili’s armies are complete.

Hong Qing had already considered all aspects of the military reform, and she had already had relevant countermeasures for the problems that the third master was worried about. Now, she explained it in the name of the old thirteen, and it was very logical.

"Well, let's wait for the old thirteen to get the book, and then decide according to the situation. Master, Zicheng, do you two have any advice on this?"

As long as the military reform of the old thirteen will not affect his status as the "prince prince", the third master has nothing to do. Of course, compared to the ambitious political opponent of the old fourteenth, the third master is more important As the old thirteen who tends to be neutral, but he didn't plan to support him with all his strength. In general, there is still a calculation of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight. It's just because the matter is too big. Although the third master has made a decision in his heart, But he was not in a hurry to tell the truth, but threw the problem to the two advisers Chen and Li.

"My lord, from the point of view of my subordinates, the dispute between the two elder brothers of the Ministry of War is certainly the better policy of the Thirteenth Lord. However, the lord should not favor the Thirteenth Lord. It is not a matter of reason, but only in the Sacred Heart. I thought that the Thirteenth Master's strategy could be supported on the avenue, but in the actual implementation, he had to score two points. I secretly thought that the Thirteenth Master was allowed to build military academies and train new troops, while the Fourteenth Master was in charge of the Ministry of War The reform of the structure may be suitable for both, and this subordinate’s humble opinion, please make a clear decision.”

After so many years of experience, although Li Minquan's intelligence and calculation ability is not as good as that of old master Chen, the difference is not too big. Although he didn't get Hong Qing's suggestion beforehand, his advice has reached the crux of the matter. At the same time, this method of playing balance is also extremely slippery.

"Zicheng's words are very good. If so, there will be no reason for Huang Ama to be inaccurate. Do you think so?"

Hearing Li Minquan's suggestion, the third master's eyes lit up immediately, nothing else, the fourteenth master has been operating in the Ministry of War for many years, and his roots are deep, so it is suitable for him to come forward to integrate the reform of the relevant institutions of the Ministry of War. Of course, the old man after the reform Fourteenth, not only will the power in the Ministry of War not increase, but it will become smaller and smaller. There is nothing else, and it will be a hindrance—whether it is the adjustment of the General Staff Headquarters or the headquarters of various military services, it must fall from the outside into the ones with combat experience. Officers, the only ones who have combat experience in the new army are the [-] new troops in Fengtai Camp. The generals in it are either from Hongqing or from the old thirteenth. In this way, the third master justifiably put his hand into the military department. It seems that such a good thing, the third master has no reason to disapprove, but just for the sake of caution, the third master still asked Mr. Chen for his opinion .

"What does your lord think about this?"

Old Master Chen did not agree with the words of the third master, nor did he comment on Li Minquan's suggestion. Instead, he turned the matter over to Hong Qing. As soon as the words came out, the eyes of the third master and Li Minquan immediately focused on Hong Qing body.

"Returning to Master, the students think that this matter can indeed be dealt with in this way, but they should not rush to express their opinions. After all, they have to wait for the court to discuss the hustle and bustle before making a statement. Maybe it will be beneficial."

Hong Qing obviously didn't expect Old Master Chen to throw the question over suddenly, and couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, but she didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly put forward her own opinion in a murmur.

"That's right, exactly as it should be!"

As soon as Hong Qing's words came out, the third master did not express his opinion immediately, but peeked at Old Master Chen, and only after seeing Old Master Chen nodded in approval, did he clap his hands and set the tone excitedly...
