Chapter five hundred and twenty seventh: Can't sit still?

"The Chief Auxiliary, first the Liaodong Army, now the Jingying Camp. If you continue like this, it won't take long for my Ministry of War to become a decoration..."

Just as the new recruits in the Beijing camp were in full swing in Nanhaizi, the Minister of War Shi Xing found Pan Sheng, the chief minister of the cabinet.

There is no way. Starting from the Liaodong Army, every time an army is rectified and trained, the emperor will take away part of the military power from the Ministry of War.

Although this situation is only "temporary", who knows how long this "temporary" will last? After all, who would be willing to spit out the meat that is eaten into the mouth?

If this situation continues, the Ministry of War will become an empty shell in the future. More importantly, once the Ministry of War loses its military power, it means that the civil servant group's suppression of the honorary and military generals will be completely ineffective.

"Mr. Shi, don't you know what you are talking about? However, the corruption of the troops is a fact, and reorganization and training is a must. What reason can we have to dissuade Your Majesty?"

Pan Sheng, the chief minister who is also a civil servant, is naturally very clear about what Shi Xing is worried about.

You should know that in order to "take" this military power, the civil servant group took more than a hundred years until the three camps were restored in the 29th year of Jiajing that it was legitimately controlled the military power and completely suppressed the group of Xu Qi and Wu Generals.

Now, only a few decades have passed, and they are going to give up more than a hundred years of hard work and give up their suppression methods of honor and military officials. Which civil servant will be willing to do so?

"The Chief Auxiliary, the subordinates naturally know the corruption of each army and the necessity of this rectification. But can we think of a way to maintain control over each army when rectifying each army? For example, from the military pay..."

Seeing that Pan Sheng misunderstood his own meaning, Shi Xing quickly expressed his intention.

"What Gongchen means is that the Ministry of Revenue will no longer allocate the military pay after the rectification and training to the inner treasury, and will be directly distributed from the Ministry of War without His Majesty's help?"

After listening to Shi Xing's suggestion, Pan Sheng couldn't help but lit up.

"But the reason given by Your Majesty earlier was to prevent the Ministry of War from deducting military pay from layer by layer, so that the military pay was transferred to the internal treasury. If now... Gongchen is sure to let those people give up the previous 'precedent' and pay as much as possible?"

Since ancient times, this logistics has been the key to controlling an army, and military pay is the most important key in this logistics. As the chief assistant, Pan Sheng naturally knew this. Therefore, as long as the Ministry of War regained the right to pay the military pay, it would be equivalent to stabilizing part of the civil servant group's control over this military power.

However, Pan Sheng was quite skeptical about the ethics of officials of all sizes and big parts of the Ministry of War.

You should know that the Ming army gradually became corrupt and degenerate from the Hei Kings who were chasing the north in the past, and corruption was also one of the important reasons. This corruption first started with the layers of deductions of officials from the Ministry of War!

"Uh, this, as long as you are very careful, there should be no problem with them, right?"

Facing Pan Sheng's suspicious gaze, Shi Xing himself also had no confidence.

There is no way, the various unwritten "examples" and "rules" formed over the past hundred years cannot be changed by his few precepts?

"Gongchen, the money is touching! This matter cannot be done without full confidence. Otherwise, if you backfire, it will be difficult to... in the future."

Seeing Shi Xing's expression that was not confident, Pan Sheng could only shake his head helplessly.

"Sir, then we're just like that..."

"As the saying goes, you need to be strong yourself. This year is just the plan for Beijing inspection, and it is also the time..."

...

"Your Majesty hasn't been to this military camp for a long time. Why are you free today?"

On the huge and wide martial arts field of Nanhaizi, the little fat man wearing a sexy golden armor was now patrolling a group of new recruits in the Beijing camp accompanied by Wang Bing and others.

"All officials are busy with the Beijing investigation plan, so I naturally feel relaxed! Speaking of which, the Beijing investigation plan led by Pan Qing and others this time is much stricter than in previous years. Especially the Ministry of War, this time it is the top priority for nuclear investigation, hahahaha!"

When talking about this Beijing investigation plan, the little fat man looked refreshed and relaxed."

"Haha, every time your Majesty reorganized and trained an army, it would be equivalent to taking over a piece of military power from the Ministry of War. How can they not be in a hurry? If they don't rectify themselves, they are afraid that the military power that they finally obtained will be gone!"

When Wang Bing heard the fat man say that the Beijing Inspection Planning and the Ministry of War was under the focus of "care", he saw through the plans of the group of civil servants at a glance.

"Hmph, since the founding of Taizu, the Ministry of War has only had the right to mobilize troops from various places. In the future, the Ministry of War wants to be like the past again. Haha, then will my rectification be done in vain this time?"

Obviously, for the military power that was re-stripped from the Ministry of War, the fat man planned to "Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou".

"I wonder if Your Majesty is preparing to restore the functions of the Governor's Office of the Five Army?"

Hearing the fat man say this, the unbeaten military god and others who accompanied him were immediately excited.

Speaking of which, at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the management of military households, the training of garrisons, and the promotion of generals were all affiliated with the Governor's Office of the Five Army. The original Ministry of War only had the power to mobilize local troops, but was actually just responsible for the "logistics headquarters" function equivalent to later generations.

However, with the occurrence of the Tumu Fort Incident led by the "Ming Dynasty God of War", a large number of experienced generals in the group of Xuqiwu generals were killed. The Governor's Office of the Five Army, which lacked talents, was naturally no match for the Ministry of War and was gradually undermined by the Ministry of War.

With the complete decline of the Governor's Office of the Five Army, it became a virtual institution that arranged "work" opportunities for the children of the Xunqi Group. The Xunqi Wu General Group, which once surpassed the civil servant group in the early Ming Dynasty, also became a vassal of civil servants. From then on, the Ming Dynasty, which had once had great martial arts, began to embark on the path of repressing military affairs with literature in the former Song Dynasty.

But now, from the meaning of the little fat man, the emperor, it is obvious that he has the intention to revive the Governor's Office of the Five Armies. Therefore, the undefeated military gods and other military generals who have been suppressed by civil servants for their whole lives are not unhappy.

"Civil officials have what civil servants should do, and military generals have what military generals should do. The method to check and balance the five military governor's office and the Ministry of War formulated by Emperor Taizu was still very good..."

Looking at the undefeated military god and the others with an excited face, the smiling fat man gave these generals who had been suppressed for more than a hundred years a positive answer.

"The last general, the last general, the last general, thought that he would never see the day when my Ming Dynasty regained his power in this life. However, he did not expect that the Holy Lord would come to the world and the last general would still be able to enter the soil... This is the blessing of the last general for the last general, the last general, the last general, the last general, the third general, the third general, the third general, the third general, the third general, the third general, the third general, the third general, the third generation of life!"

After receiving the positive answer from the little fat man, the undefeated military god and Ma Gui, Li Rusong and others were immediately possessed like "flattery spirits". Even the extremely stingy words of "The Holy Lord is Coming to the World" were even slapped and slapped them without blushing.

"Hahahaha, several generals are over-reputable!"

I have to say that the "flattery" of the Invincible Military Gods was really just right. The fat man, who was once tempted by Wang Bing as the name of "Saint Lord", was said at this moment, but his extremely useful expression obviously betrayed his inner thoughts.

"But before this, the most important thing for you and others is to complete the rectification and training of our entire Ming army as soon as possible, and restore our royal army to the great reputation. Otherwise, even if I have this intention, that's the same..."

Finally, facing the excited unbeaten military gods and others, after scattering the "bait", the fat man added codes to the tasks of several people at the right time.
