The generals will return triumphantly from the north, and the reform of the military system officially begins.
The four general titles of Hussar, Longhu, Zhenguo, and Dingguo were removed from the rank of military attache by Zhao Han, and other titles were chosen to replace them.
The Central Governor's Mansion has set up special general titles, from high to low: Hussar, Cheqi, Longhu, Zhenguo, Dingguo and Fubo six generals, all of whom hold first-level military positions.
Fei Ruhe was recalled to Nanjing and awarded the title of General of Hussars.
Zhang Tieniu was recalled to Nanjing and awarded the title of General of Chariots and Cavalry.
Huang Yao was recalled to Nanjing and awarded the title of General Longhu.
Li Zheng was recalled to Nanjing and granted the title of General of the State.
Fei Ying was recalled to Nanjing and awarded the title of General of the Dingguo Kingdom.
Gu Jianshan was recalled to Nanjing and awarded the title of General Fubo.
These six people are in charge of the affairs of the Dudu Mansion, headed by Fei Ruhe, and each has their own specific jurisdiction.
The earliest batch of ministers from Longxun were all commanders-in-chief of the Sixth Army, somewhat similar to commanders of war zones.
Jiang Dashan served as the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army and was stationed in Nanjing.
Huang Shun served as the commander-in-chief of the rear army and was stationed in Beijing.
Hu Dinggui was appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Left Army and was stationed in Shenyang.
Jiang Liang was appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Right Army and was stationed in Xi'an.
Ding Jiasheng served as the former military commander and was stationed in Kunming.
Fan Chao was appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy and was stationed in Guangzhou.
Under the six chief governors, there are left and right governors, all served by veteran generals, who are in charge of local war zone affairs.
These veterans freed up their positions, allowing more military generals to be promoted and serve as general guards, division commanders, etc. For example, Cao Bianjiao and Li Dingguo were promoted to general guards, and there were even four division commanders among military academy graduates (all from short-term training courses, such as Qin Liangyu
His grandson Ma Wannian).
Local troops were also mobilized and changed defenses accordingly. The strength of troops in various places became more even, with a slight emphasis on border areas. Unlike before, there were very few troops in the south and a large number of troops were pressed against the border in the north.
The patrol armed police forces in each province were completely separated from the governor's office and integrated into the local command department system, specializing in the suppression of bandits, anti-smuggling, disaster relief and other tasks.
If there is any local disturbance, the commanders of each province will first bring patrol troops to extinguish it. If the disturbance is too big and difficult to quell, then they are asked to apply for the dispatch of regular troops from each war zone.
In the event of an emergency, the commander-in-chief of the war zone can dispatch patrol troops to the nearest location. If patrol troops are to be mobilized on a large scale, the war zone must ask the central government for instructions and obtain permission from the Ministry of War and the governor-general's office.
The urban police system was changed into an administrative unit and accepted the management of local civilian officials. If the enemy attacked the city, the police had to be temporarily placed under the command of the army. In states and counties without garrison, the police must be urgently incorporated into the patrol armed police system.
The rural peasant soldiers have once again been reduced in size and belong to the military system. The Training Department of the Central Governor's Office has training institutions in various provinces. It is responsible for recruiting and training new recruits from the peasant soldiers, and also liaises with other departments to implement the resettlement of retired soldiers.
All factories related to the military were completely separated from the Ministry of Industry and placed under the management of the Logistics and Equipment Departments of the Governor's Office.
The Ministry of War has a Qing Military Department, which regularly dispatches Qing military envoys to inspect disciplinary violations in the army and military factories.
…
"Be crowned king?"
Fei Ruhe and Zhang Tieniu had just returned to Nanjing when they met a pedestrian sent by the emperor.
The passerby laughed and said: "Please two generals, please go home and bathe and fast for three days. After three days, the royal edict will arrive."
Fei Ruhe took out a military ticket with a face value of 10 yuan: "Thank you angel for the good news!"
Zhang Tieniu also quickly took out the money, and the passerby accepted it. This was a good news red envelope, and it was illegal in theory, but the officials dared to accept it, and as long as the amount was not large, no one would come to investigate.
A thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an anthill, and corruption can never be eliminated.
After seeing the pedestrians off, Fei Ruhe smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to unite the troops to fight in the future."
Zhang Tieniu, however, was cheerful: "If we don't unite the troops, we won't unite. Looking at all the border areas, who is the opponent of the Datong Army? In the future, wars will be similar to these expeditions to Mobei. Either we keep chasing the enemy, or we win all at once. This kind of What's the point of fighting? Hehe, I, Lao Zhang, will one day become a prince."
Three days later, the royal edict was issued.
Fei Ruhe was named King of Yongping, and Zhang Tieniu was named King of Hejian. They were both county princes and could not be given to princes.
The two princes will no longer command battles in the future, and the civil servants can rest assured to make friends. In the next half month, there were many visitors to the two princes' mansion, but Fei Ruhe and Zhang Tieniu became more cautious. They were willing to receive anyone who came, but all the gifts Not accepted at all.
In Emperor Zhao's case, there is no such thing as self-defilement!
The topic of making the king did not last long, the prefect of Peking sent people to the capital, and people's attention was diverted.
In February of this year, a meteor exploded over Beijing. Four meteorites fell inside the city and seven meteorites fell outside the city. Historically, this was the second year of Kangxi's reign. Kangxi's biological mother had just died nine days ago, so people said that she and the Queen Mother were Death related.
But it's different now, because Beijing is no longer the capital, and the political significance of meteorites is not that great.
In fact, as early as twelve years ago, a meteorite fell in Beijing.
At that time, the Qintianyuan Planetarium explained that the meteorite falling in the old capital of the previous dynasty represented the complete end of the Ming Dynasty and the greater stability of the Datong country.
So, what the hell is the second meteorite falling now?
The prefect of Peiping also collected meteorites. Eleven meteorites fell to the ground, and a total of nine meteorites were found. One of them smashed the roof of a house and fell on the bedside of the people, almost killing people.
Morning meeting.
Today’s topic is the Beijing meteorite.
"This thing doesn't have radiation, does it?" Zhao Han stared at the meteorite, and others couldn't understand what he was talking about.
The nine meteorites are all small in size, and it is unclear what type they are.
The current director of Qintianyuan Planetarium is Xue Fengzuo. In another time and space, he majored in Lu Wang's mind science when he was young. In his middle age, he studied under missionaries and became a mathematician and astronomer. In his later years, he inspected the Yellow River and the Grand Canal, and wrote "The Pros and Cons of Two Rivers" and It was compiled into "Sikuquanshu".
In this time and space, Xue Fengzuo entered Qintian Academy more than ten years ago and has been engaged in astronomical research.
And he became the astronomy director because of his mathematical research... Like Tydeus, he discovered that a certain sequence of numbers was similar to the distance between the planets and the sun, so he speculated that there was something undiscovered between Mars and Jupiter. planet.
Well, actually this is just a coincidence and has no scientific significance.
But Zhao Han did not understand astronomy. At this time, astronomers all recognized Xue Fengzuo's "great discovery", so Xue Fengzuo gained great reputation.
Xue Fengzuo said: "Your Majesty, just after the great victory in Mobei, a meteorite fell to the ground in Beijing. Today is a day to celebrate the great military power of our Datong Dynasty!"
Zhao Han asked back: "Do you believe what you said?"
"Hmm... I'd rather believe it." Of course Xue Fengzuo didn't believe it. His job as a planetarium director was not for nothing.
Zhao Han asked: "Where do you think meteorites come from? Tell the truth."
Xue Fengzuo said bravely: "I guess that in addition to stars, there are many debris in the sky. These debris are so small that even a telescope cannot see them. They usually move, but if they are accidentally caught by the earth's gravity, they will fly very fast. falling to the ground."
"Keep talking." Zhao Han had a smile on his face.
Xue Fengzuo said: "I have seen meteors at night. The light of meteors should be caused by friction with the air. Just like a knife hitting a stone, sparks will be produced. The speed of meteors is very fast, and they are constantly rubbing against the air.
He started a fire and burned himself. When it fell to the ground, it was burned to the size of an egg. This is the meteorite we saw."
Most of the civil and military ministers who participated in the imperial meeting were just listening to heavenly texts. They didn't understand anything about air friction.
When they saw the emperor smiling, they would not be able to refute him. If they spoke carelessly, they would not only make the emperor unhappy, but also make them appear ignorant.
Zhao Han nodded and said, "Tell the ministers what discoveries have been made in the planetarium recently?"
Xue Fengzuo said: "There was a scholar in the West named Galileo Galilei. He discovered that Jupiter has four satellites. The moon is the satellite of the earth. If Jupiter is inhabited, it means that four moons can be seen. These four satellites of Jupiter, the planetarium
Continuously observing, we have found them all this year.”
"Does Jupiter have more than four satellites?" Zhao Han asked.
"Maybe," Xue Fengzuo said, "it may be that the telescope cannot see clearly. Once a better telescope is built, more satellites can be observed."
Zhao Han asked again: "Are there any other results?"
Xue Fengzuo said: "Last year, we compiled a brand new star map, which is also the most complete star map at all times and at home and abroad. Four years ago, we perfected the lunar elongation table. Based on this lunar elongation table, ocean-going ships can measure their own location within a few hours.
Longitude and latitude. Seven years ago, the planetarium formulated the most complete model of the solar system, combined with the results of European scholar Kepler, and worked with the physics museum to determine the laws of planetary motion. There are also other small results, such as the rise and fall of tides, which are unanimously agreed by planetarium colleagues
It is believed to be caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and moon."
Wu Chaogui, the right minister of the Ministry of Finance, couldn't help but said: "I have read "Baopuzi" by Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and "The Theory of Physics" by Yang Quan of the Three Kingdoms. They both said that the tides are caused by the pull of the moon. I'm afraid this is not your planetarium.
A new discovery?"
Xue Fengzuo explained: "An accurate tidal table has been drawn in the Song Dynasty, but the ancients could only guess its principles, but today people can explain the origin and process of tides. The planetarium has developed an elliptical model of tides to calculate more precise tidal movements.
law."
After saying that, Xue Fengzuo raised his hand and said: "The study of many astronomical phenomena relies on the universal gravitation proposed by Your Majesty."
For a moment, no one spoke anymore. This was a theory proposed by the emperor and extended to various scientific research results. Opposing the planetarium is opposing the emperor himself!
Zhao Han said to the ministers: "As Confucius said, respect ghosts and gods and keep them at a distance. Ethereal ghosts and gods, and the illusory will of God, can be believed and respected, but they cannot interfere with our work. The prefect of Peking collected meteorites and sent people to deliver them.
When you come to Nanjing, you can record a small merit. But the credit is not for me, but the credit for handing the meteorite to Qintianyuan for study. In the future, there will be meteors, earthquakes, etc., and you must not disturb the government by talking about disasters."
"Your Majesty is wise!" all the ministers shouted.
Zhang Tieniu yawned when he heard this. This prince is not easy to play with. He might as well lead the troops in the north.
