Chapter 17 Military Aircraft Office
"So I'm going to create a new institution, and that's the Military Affairs Office."
Fang Shiyu smiled slightly, looking confident.
"Military Affairs Office?"
"Just just listening to the name, you know that this is not a simple place."
When Lan Yu's eyes heard the three big words from the Military Affairs Office, he showed an excited expression.
It is obvious that this is a place related to the army and it has a lot to do with our generals.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao also looked at Fang Shiyu with curiosity.
In their opinion, there are mutual checks and balances between the cabinet and the statutes and the supervisors.
All the rights of the Ming Dynasty were already concentrated in the hands of the emperor.
What's the use of this military bureau that appeared out of thin air?
It’s not that the generals and the generals will review it again based on the review of the Sili Supervisor?
If this is the case, it will feel a bit overwhelming.
"Hahaha, don't you think I'm playing with Russian dolls?"
After taking a look at Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's expressions, Fang Shiyu instantly realized what they were thinking.
Although I don’t know what Russian dolls mean, Zhu Biao still said respectfully.
"I hope my benefactor will make it clear."
When Zhu Biao heard Fang Shiyu's words, he instantly knew that he had guessed wrong from the beginning.
Fortunately, Zhu Biao is a modest gentleman who knows not to be ashamed to ask questions.
"Actually, you should know that the Military Affairs Office is the most important thing to deal with military and national affairs."
Fang Shiyu wrote the three big words "Military Affairs Office" next to "Cabinet" and "Shilijian".
"You know, the cabinet and the rank of the rank of the rank of the State Council are the places where the national affairs are handled. How is the difference between this Military Affairs Office and them?"
Zhu Biao asked seriously.
"In fact, it's very simple. The cabinet and the rank of the ranks are dangerous yamen to handle daily major events, but the Military Affairs Office is a temporary agency to handle emergencies at any time."
Fang Shiyu replied with a smile.
"What does this mean when an emergency happens?"
Hearing Fang Shiyu's words, Zhu Yuanzhang became interested.
"You must know that the yamen settings in previous dynasties are used to deal with different divisions of content.
For example, the Ministry of Revenue mainly manages money, the Ministry of Personnel mainly manages officials, the Tongzheng Department is responsible for conveying the heavenly hearing, and the Censorate is online criticizing people.
It is unheard of for Mr. Fang, a yamen set up according to the priorities of the matter.
Ignoring the curious expressions of everyone, Fang Shiyu pointed to the Military Affairs Office and continued.
"You must know that whether it is a minister or an emperor, they spend most of their time dealing with daily government affairs."
"Although these tasks are very important, most of them are repetitive mechanical tasks."
"You're welcome, as long as you do it for a long enough time, even an idiot can do it."
Hearing Fang Shiyu's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed.
Little turtle calf!
It turns out that I work hard every day to deal with government affairs. Among you, I do some work that even idiots can do.
Who are you looking down on?
Zhu Biao next to him nodded in agreement when he heard Fang Shiyu's words.
Although he handles a lot of tasks every day, just like what his beloved said, it is all tedious and repetitive work.
It is either the appointment and removal of officials from various places or the taxes of government officials at all levels.
The most work handled every day is the quarrel between officials below.
There is no big event like the Goryeo Mutiny that can be encountered throughout the year.
Until now, he feels a little headache when he sees memorials every day.
And a urge to make a memorial come to my heart.
It's really miserable.
"You must know that the reason why the cabinet and the rank of the ranks and ranks was to allow the two yamen to check and balance each other and achieve the purpose of mutual supervision. To put it bluntly, let civil servants and eunuchs have a war of verbalism."
"It doesn't matter if you usually have a verbal battle, but if you encounter emergencies such as floods and earthquakes or locust plagues, then if you continue to argue, it will be a disaster for the country and the people."
Fang Shiyu said with a serious expression.
When Zhu Yuanzhang and the other two heard Fang Shiyu mention natural disasters and man-made disasters, their expressions became serious in an instant.
None of the things that Mr. Fang just said can be delayed.
For example, if the Yangtze River breaks its dam, it may be affected by several provinces, with at least hundreds of thousands of people homeless.
If the court does not deal with it in time at this time, it will be very likely to cause civil unrest.
For example, the enemy invasion.
Even if it is delayed a little, the enemy will enter the pass at the worst, and the country will be destroyed at the worst.
These things are important things and cannot be tolerated with sloppyness.
"But in this case, the emperor only needs to make a decision, why do we need to set up a military office?"
Prince Zhu Biao asked as Fang Shiyu said.
"You don't understand this."
Fang Shiyu looked at Prince Zhu Biao and said with a smile.
"The emperor is not omnipotent. If the incident happened suddenly, could he consider these things in full? Doesn't he need a bunch of people to help him with advice at this time?"
"In addition to the need for someone to give him advice, all aspects of the matter need cooperation from all aspects. It is impossible for His Majesty to put on his battle suit and go out to fight alone, right?"
"This Military Affairs Office is to bypass the cabinet and the rank of the rank of officials involved in emergencies, and then deal with them in special cases."
"It is important to try to solve the problem in the shortest time."
"After the problem is solved, the Military Affairs Office can be removed and rebuilt. When will there be any emergencies?"
Fang Shiyu said seriously to the three of them.
The Military Affairs Office in history was established in the seventh year of Yongzheng's reign and was temporarily established by Yinzhen for the purpose of using troops in the northwest.
However, it was so easy to use at that time, so I kept using it.
Throughout the day, the Military Affairs Office was a temporary agency, and its function was like the emergency office of the later generations.
"That's great, this idea is simply amazing."
Lan Yu slapped the table suddenly.
Although he had little understanding of the role of the Military Affairs Office, he knew that this yamen was used to deal with emergencies on weekdays.
What is the biggest emergencies in the Ming Dynasty today?
It's not just a military conflict with neighboring countries.
Since we are going to fight, we cannot do without them.
After some military affairs offices, these military generals and nobles could bypass the cabinet and the rank of the rank of the rank of the emperor directly, and give advice, and no longer have to worry about being suppressed by civil officials and eunuchs.
It can be said that this Military Affairs Office was tailor-made for their military generals.
