Changsun Moli, Liu Fa, and Zeng Baohua looked at each other, and then lowered their heads to think with complicated expressions. The three of them did not expect that the official family would suddenly raise such a question.
It is an indisputable fact that the navy is growing day by day. Thousands of ships and hundreds of thousands of soldiers are packed into such a small shell as the Navy Bureau, which is indeed a bit inappropriate.
But how to place this new unit? Place it under the Privy Council? Logically speaking, it should indeed be placed under the Privy Council.
The three provinces are in charge of legislation, administration, and justice, and the Privy Council is in charge of military affairs. The heads of the three provinces and one council are in charge of bachelors, and they are in charge of state affairs. This has reached a consensus and will become customized in the future.
The navy is a military force and is placed under the Privy Council. It's just that the Privy Council now has the General Staff Office, the Military and Political Administration, the General Administration of Munitions and the Administrative Office. Who does the Navy Bureau belong to?
Or should we set up a separate parallel unit? Or follow the example of Xuanhui Academy and set up another department in parallel with the Privy Council and Xuanhui Academy?
This sounds reasonable, but if you think about it carefully, it is not feasible. The government has set up four Xuanhui courtyards in the southeast, northwest and northwest, which directly govern the four banners of Qinglong, White Tiger, Xuanwu and Zhuque.
The most elite cavalrymen from the Song Dynasty and even the world gathered here. The military and government were integrated into one, and they became herders when they were in and cavalry when they were out.
In addition, the Sixuan Huiyuan also manages religious matters such as the canonization of masters and the division of parishes among the major monks of the four banners.
However, the officials made it very clear in their communication with a few close and important officials that this was just a plan to control and integrate the rights and interests of the four banners.
What does Sixuan Huiyuan actually have?
"National Council" and
Officials have stated the responsibilities of the "Religious Committee". When the Four Banners are completely integrated into the Song Dynasty - speaking the same official language, learning the same textbooks, and believing in one country and one nation... By then, the Four Banners will be
Split into counties, or other administrative structures, are actually the same county-county system.
Therefore, it is very inappropriate to establish a new institution in the Navy's aid to the Anhui Academy. Changsun Moli, Liu Fa, Zeng Baohua and others were thinking about these issues.
Fan Donghai, Li Gang, Han Jiaxian and others were thinking about another question. Why did the officials solemnly consult Changsun and others here?
After thinking about it carefully, Fan Donghai and other people from the Navy Bureau came up with some ideas. Changsun Moli and Liu Fa were nominally Shanbei Xuanfu envoys and Shanbei military envoys, but they actually governed the Northeast and hundreds of thousands of people in Mobei.
Horse infantry.
The Army and Navy of the Song Dynasty like to call the Ma Bu Army this way, thinking that this can truly distinguish the land and water armies.
The essence of the Army of the Song Dynasty was basically concentrated in the Yinshan, Beiping and Northeast areas. Changsun Moli and Liu Fa, one was responsible for overall command and the other was responsible for front enemy operations, and could basically represent their opinions.
As for Zeng Baohua, as the prefect of Peiping, he was equivalent to the logistics manager of these horse infantry troops. Asking them for their opinions was equivalent to asking the opinions of the mainstream army faction of the Song Dynasty.
The official's intention is like an old father telling his eldest son that now that the younger brother in the family has grown up, you, as the elder brother, must take care of him from now on.
Well-intentioned! There was silence in the lobby, and Zhao Si began to call names.
"Xuan Ming, tell me." Changsun Moli's mind has been spinning thousands of times, thinking about all the causes and consequences.
He thought about the eleventh year of the Apocalypse, when the government reorganized the Privy Council and changed the Military Counselor's Office into the General Staff Office. Could it be related to this?
Officials always take one step at a time and look at ten steps. Although the Navy did not have a strong need to upgrade its organization at that time, its strength was already very strong. It was imperative to upgrade its organization, and the officials should be prepared.
In this way, the reorganization of the Military Advisory Office into the General Staff Office should be to prepare for the upgrade of the Navy - to establish a naval management system based on the Army's template.
Thinking of this, Changsun Moli said: "Your Majesty, what I mean is that the army, well, the precedent of the horse infantry is there, we can set it up as usual."
"Well, tell me in detail." Zhao Si nodded.
"The minister suggested that the navy should also be under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council. The General Staff Office could be divided into the Army Bureau and the Navy Bureau, with the Army Chief of Staff and the Navy Chief of Staff as their heads respectively; the military and political department should have the Army and Navy Bureau, respectively responsible for the military status and military merits of the Army and Navy.
Matters such as military discipline and missionary education; the General Administration of Munitions can also be divided into the Army and Navy Bureaus... As for the General Military Procuratorate and the Military Court, they can take care of both the navy and the army." Chang Sun Moli assisted Zhao Si in improving the Privy Council institutional system and the Ma Bu of the Great Song Dynasty
It is an officer system, so with a little thought, you can talk eloquently and eloquently.
"The above is the organization that oversees the affairs of the army and navy. As for the specific military organization, it can be divided into coastal defense columns and main fleets according to the army's corps, garrison, and main fleet. In addition, a shipping bureau can be established under the Ministry of War to be responsible for the supervision of warship construction...
"Now the military industry enterprises in the Song Dynasty are half-official and half-civilian. Official funds, Soldiers' Honor Foundation, and Officers' Emeritus Foundation account for the majority of the shares, and they are operated by
"Professional managers" are responsible for independent accounting, and profits and losses are accountable to shareholders. They are then supervised by the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of War, including confidentiality work.
The General Administration of Munitions places orders based on the military plans set by the Privy Council, and the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of War supervises the entire process.
When leaving the factory, personnel from the General Administration of Munitions will inspect and accept the items for the first time and distribute them to each arsenal for acceptance for the second time. The Central General Staff Administration will conduct several random inspections.
When ordnance and weapons are issued to each unit, each military and military bodyguard will conduct an acceptance inspection based on the opinions of the specific units using them.
This is in line with Zhao Si's philosophy: to complicate the process, increase the intensity of punishment, and soar the costs of fraud and dereliction of duty.
At the same time, multiple parties will verify and improve the traceability and accountability system to increase the probability of fraud, dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty being discovered.
After Changsun Moli finished speaking, Zhao Si turned to Fan Donghai, Li Gang, Han Jiaxian and others and said, "What do you think of Xuan Ming's suggestion?" The three looked at each other, and then Fan Donghai, the oldest one, stood up and replied: "
Your Majesty, I think Mr. Xuanming’s suggestions are very comprehensive.”
"That's good. On behalf of the big brother of the army, Xuan Ming gave you some suggestions for the navy, and you think it's okay. That's good. From now on, your army and navy must cooperate with each other to defend the security of the Song Dynasty's territory and maintain the
The interests of the Song Dynasty."
"I obey the decree."
"Shutong!" Zhao Si shouted.
"I'm here!" Yu Wenxuzhong replied.
"It is proposed that the Privy Council General Staff Office be changed to the General Staff Headquarters, with the Army Staff Department and the Naval Staff Department respectively responsible for the training, combat command, intelligence and communications of the army and navy. The Chief of Staff of the Army and the Chief of Staff of the Navy are divided into two departments.
summit..."
"The General Administration of Military and Political Affairs was changed to the Ministry of Military Affairs, with the General Yuhou, who is in charge of the ministry affairs, and the left and right governors, Yuhou, who is responsible for the military and political affairs of the army and navy... The General Administration of Military Affairs was changed to the Ministry of Munitions, with the General Superintendent and the General Command Department.
We will set up left and right supervisors to take charge of military supplies affairs of the army and navy..." Looking at everyone's gazes, Zhao Si continued: "Liu Fa, you continue to serve as the chief of staff of the army. End the affairs in the Northeast as soon as possible and return to Kaifeng to take office.
"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Chief of Naval Staff, Donghai, take charge." Zhao Si turned to Fan Donghai and said.
"It's Your Majesty."
"Okay, that's the end of this discussion. Let's go to bed early. We have to go on the road tomorrow morning."
