In the name of enlightenment in the West Garden, he seized the authority of eunuchs in the inner court and set up a special office to take charge of palace affairs. As Emperor Chongzhen expected, this incident caused a great response between the court and the country.

For the civil servants of all dynasties, the eunuchs held power and interfered in the affairs of the government. As long as they were not completely blocked for a day, the country would not be truly stable.

The civil servants disliked the power and the confusion of government.

The emperor should listen to them.

The emperor should restrain himself.

The butt determines the head.

The civil servant group of the Ming Dynasty has always been pursuing the concept of "governing the world with scholars and officials". Perhaps this is the reality, but at the political level, Emperor Ming has never made such a statement.

The things that civil servants pursue are exactly what the imperial power will never allow. As the emperor, he has the power of life and death, who would want the imperial power to be undermined by the power of ministers?

No matter how stupid and incompetent the king is, he will not want to see that he wants to do anything. His initiative is not in his own hands, but he will be interfered and criticized by his ministers in everything. If that is the case, who is the king? Who is the minister

?

This is the bottom line of power.

Now Emperor Chongzhen issued a decree to abolish the external powers of eunuchs in the inner court and replace them with a special office of the Interior Affairs Office. This made most foreign ministers happy because they all saw hope and would be like a power eunuch in the future.

Things will not happen again.

Even in the hearts of many court officials, they thought that the loss of power by eunuchs in the inner court means that it is unrealistic for the emperor to invade interests through his confidant eunuchs in the future.

But is this really the case?

Some people are happy about this, some are worried about it.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has its own system and has nothing to do with the officials of the Foreign Court, which means that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has a ministry and has no right to interfere with the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The power of the inner court, headed by human rights, financial power and military power, is still in charge of the emperor's hands. This fundamental nature has not changed at all, but the group representing the emperor has changed from the group of eunuchs to the group of civil servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Is it another administrative team?

The dispute began immediately.

In response to the various storms caused by the outer dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen, who lived in the West Garden, did not care. After solving the inner court, he turned his attention to the imperial guard system of the imperial city and the palace city.

Xiyuan, Diaoyutai.

"The real meaning of the establishment of an army is born for war." Emperor Chongzhen stood with his hands behind his back, looking around at the ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Governor's Office of the Beijing Guards, with a cold and stern look on his face.

"As long as this truth is violated, the army will inevitably gradually fall into corruption and then become unusable. In the series of wars that have emerged in the past, the Chinese and Koreans have experienced repeated defeats, losing a large number of soldiers and losing a large area of ​​territory.

It has been verified.

Jianlu rebelled.

Thief rebelled.

The rebellion involved the above-mentioned rebellion suppression and suppression, before the Military Affairs Office was specially set up, the state spent a lot of food and money and dispatched elite troops, but it experienced repeated defeats, losing a large area of ​​territory, and continuously weakening the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Have you ever thought about what the root cause is?

It is not scary to suffer a crushing defeat. What is scary is that you know there is a problem, but you turn a blind eye to hearing and let these problems and bad policies always exist."

Qian Sule, Li Changxiang, Zhang Kentang, Shen Tingyang, Huang Daozhou, He Tengjiao, Liu Wenbing, Wei Shitai and other honorary relatives, I heard what the emperor said, look at me, I see you

, I don’t know what to say for a moment, and how to answer.

In terms of division of powers alone, the matter of suppressing and suppressing the rebellion mentioned by the emperor is under the responsibility of the foreign dynasty, and they have no right to interfere.

"The root of it appears in military hereditary."

Emperor Chongzhen continued: "At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the system of vassals was to better protect the territory, reduce unnecessary expenses, and ensure the inheritance of the army. It can be successful and defeated.

With the inheritance of the Ming Dynasty, some problems and bad policies that arise have not been properly resolved in previous dynasties, which has led to more and more problems and more bad policies, which has led to the depravity and corruption of the Ming army.

At that time, I set up a special military service office, not only to let the state dynasty quell the rebellion as soon as possible, but also to completely reverse this stubborn problem.

Judging from the facts, with the adjustment and reform of the garrison in Gyeonggi, the military garrison surrounding the Gyeonggi area has undergone great changes.

Gradually and steadily dismantle the garrison and promote the implementation of the new military system are things that the State must do in the future."

The Diaoyutai area is very quiet.

Qian Sule, Li Changxiang, Zhang Kentang, Chen Tingyang, Huang Daozhou, He Tengjiao and other ministers all felt different emotions in their hearts after listening to what the emperor said.

Such major issues involving national economy and people's livelihood and explain them carefully and in detail means that in the future, their Office of Internal Affairs and the General Office of the Beijing Guard will be involved in it.

"In order to better implement the implementation of the new military system, I plan to completely change the personal guards under the jurisdiction of the Beijing Guard Governor's Office." Emperor Chongzhen shook his sleeves, looked around the ministers in front of him, and said loudly.

"In the future, there will be no so-called personal guards in the Beijing Guard Governor's Office. Only the "Ming Dynasty Imperial Guards" were launched, and 60,000 were established. The four guard camps and other personal troops in Beijing were transferred to the jurisdiction of the Beijing Guard Governor's Office.

The Imperial Army of the Ming Dynasty will rectify the new military system such as towns and camps, and remove the Yiyingwei Station, and be fully responsible for the imperial city and palace guards.

In the future, the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty will face the various armies under the Ming Dynasty and conduct corresponding recruitment and additions. If there is a war that threatens the country and the DPRKs of the State, the Imperial Guards will also participate in the war!

All matters involving the allocation of food, firearms, artillery, armour, armor, etc. will be resolved by the Office of the Internal Affairs and will no longer be subject to the responsibility of the Department of Foreign Affairs."

As the trump card of the Emperor of Ming, the Ming Imperial Army under the jurisdiction of the General Administration of the Beijing Guard should become a true elite and be absolutely loyal to the Emperor of Ming.

If you want to reverse the trend of "literary nobles and martial arts", you must do it to the extreme and let the bad trends of the past be corrected little by little through gradual adjustments and changes.

Emperor Chongzhen wanted to use his own way to establish a model army first so that the Ming Dynasty could see what a truly strong army was like.

The Ming Imperial Guard will become the elite of the Ming elite in the future. Anyone who can enter this army, even the most ordinary soldiers, will be extraordinary once they are released.
