Chapter 409 Reorganization treatment of Zhang Mingzhen's department!
"Are you a descendant of our Taizhou Wei Fang family? I heard someone said that a son of the Fang family is serving in the Beijing camp and has a very good future! Unexpectedly, we met at Jiangkou today. It is also a blessing. This time the imperial army is coming south.
Are you the commander-in-chief of the Jiangkou quelling the rebellion?" Zhang Mingzhen probably knew about Fang Ruocheng's situation, but he didn't expect that this junior from the Taizhou Health Center would develop so well. Having said that, since we are all fellow villagers, it would be much easier to communicate with each other.
"General Fuping, thank you! Wansheng is not the commander of the army going south this time! He is just the deputy commander of the navy. Wansheng has already sent a message to the commander, the general, and the general will come to the battle line to talk to the general later." Fang Ruocheng said this a little awkwardly.
, and he didn’t know in what capacity he should talk to this old army general. His military rank was now just that of a brigadier general. Compared with the old army with various numbers, it was hard to say which one was more important.
If the other party is the general soldier, his status should be lower than him, but he is just a guerrilla. To be honest, he does not lead as many soldiers as Fang Ruocheng, so his status is very subtle. But the situation will become clear when Ren Shuangyou comes.
The military rank is general, which means he is a standard Zhengyin general compared with the old army. He must be higher than Zhang Mingzhen.
"Who is the commander of this trip south to the river mouth?"
"He is the naval commander of the imperial court. General Ren Shuangyou is a general. According to the second-grade civilian position, he has the same rank as the former Gansu Commander-in-Chief General Ma Xu." Fang Ruocheng introduced Ren Shuangyou's rank in detail, just to let Zhang Mingzhen understand the relationship between the two sides.
status. Otherwise, there might be some misunderstanding after the two meet.
"Didn't the imperial court send a civilian supervisor from the Ministry of War?" Zhang Mingzhen naturally wanted to talk to someone who could directly make the decision, so as to clarify his status and ownership. This time he came to establish contact with the imperial court in Beijing and completely belong to the imperial court.
Beijing sequence. He didn't think a military commander could make the decision on this kind of thing. But Fang Ruocheng, a young man, said it was a military commander, and Zhang Mingzhen felt that it was a bit unethical.
"General Fuping Rong Bing, the imperial court has undergone restructuring. There are no longer civilian supervisors in the army. Generally, large army operations are all handled by the generals who lead the troops. Now all the civil servants in the Ministry of War have been transferred to military positions. The current
Military power is entirely under the control of the Military Command Hall, which was restructured from the Fifth Military Governor's Office."
"The imperial court really handed over the general power to the governor's office and us military men? I thought the news coming from the north was a rumor! Military affairs were attributed to the military men? Is Huang Hushan really in charge of the military now?" Zhang Mingzhen naturally heard a lot about the military reforms in the north.
It's just that he doesn't believe it in his heart.
"General Huang is currently the standing person in charge of the Military Command Hall and the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army Governor's Office. However, it is not entirely correct to say that he holds the military power. It should be the Holy One who holds the military power, and the five military commanders share military and civilian affairs."
Just as Fang Ruocheng was about to explain the current military situation in detail to Zhang Mingzhen, Ren Shuangyou's ship had already arrived at the scene. He hurriedly guided Ren Shuangyou to meet with Zhang Mingzhen.
After the two parties met, Zhang Mingzhen was about to kneel down to Ren Shuangyou, as he would when meeting a superior official, but Ren Shuangyou quickly held him in his arms. After a while of greetings, the two sides began to talk about the main topic.
Zhang Mingzhen tactfully stated his intention to go north this time. His intention was very simple. First, he was to help the regular army of the imperial court go south to fight, and second, he wanted to clarify his organizational relationship! He did not want to be mixed up in the Nanzhi order anymore.
Want to officially re-enter Beijing's sequence.
"General Fuping! After the imperial court's restructuring, the Ming Dynasty's army will completely abandon the old army model and change it to a new military system. In other words, all the original guards and camps will be abolished. Since the general wants to be loyal to the imperial court, he must
Be mentally prepared. Your original subordinates will be completely reorganized. The original generals need to enter the officer college for new army training, and then they will be reassigned based on their academic performance and previous positions. The original soldiers will need to be reorganized.
Disrupt and reorganize the order of fighting troops. Before this, General Huang and General Ma were the same in their old departments, and there is a precedent. I will only say one thing, as long as you are loyal to the country, the court will not treat you badly. But
If there still existed the old army's idea that soldiers are generals and all subordinates are sons, the imperial court would not tolerate it. Today's soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are all his Majesty's soldiers, soldiers of the common people, and it is absolutely no business for private servants.
Not allowed."
"Commander, all my generals are navy troops. If the imperial court reorganizes them, will they be assigned to other places? If they are transferred to the north to serve as errands, it will be difficult for their families to settle down. Also, some of the personal belongings of a certain person
I'm afraid that the military servants who have been incorporated into the imperial army are being treated a little poorly, right? They are all elite soldiers."
"The general's subordinates are all sailors. The military command hall will definitely consider this matter, including the issue of military personnel. The imperial court also has a proper way to settle the matter. The imperial court has built a new navy, which mainly conducts naval battles. It is the time to recruit people. This general will issue a memorial to your subordinates.
They all stay in the navy. As for the general's private soldier treatment, I will give the general a thorough explanation. As long as they are trained and capable, they will not have to worry about getting high military pay. Even if they are ordinary regular soldiers, the treatment is actually not that high.
Poor. At present, the imperial court has a large army, and military pay is paid to each soldier on a monthly basis. Generals will never be allowed to withhold military pay, and there will be no default in military pay. A soldier can receive three dollars per month.
The real money of about two silver dollars, including food and other military expenses, should not be less than the military pay paid by the general to ordinary servants, right?"
The actual salary of the so-called servants is not that high. Compared with ordinary soldiers, the servants of most generals only receive the standard salary of Ming soldiers on time and in full. In other words, they are the ones who can enjoy the benefits of regular soldiers of Ming Dynasty.
For other soldiers, it is already very good to get one-third of the standard salary. According to the situation, the regular army of the Ming Dynasty was actually very few in the past, and they did not even have the strength of the Qing Dynasty. Except for the servants,
Soldiers are just a bunch of people gathering together numbers.
"General, after the reorganization, what position will the general hold?" After chatting for a long time, Zhang Mingzhen talked about the issue he was most concerned about.
"General Fuping is a well-known general in the imperial court. The specific treatment is decided by His Majesty and the Military Command Hall. I can't make the decision. But what I mean is that the general is a veteran of naval warfare. He should remain in the naval ranks and should serve in the naval command headquarters.
After getting familiar with the current military situation, it is best to lead a fleet to fight alone. I will write my opinions in the memorial for the superiors to make a decision. The navy is a newly created service, and your Majesty and the Military Command will most likely respect us.
Opinion."
"In that case, thank you General for your kind words."
"What are you talking about! It's my duty to speak out for Paoze. By the way, General Fuping, while I'm waiting for news from the court, I have to ask the general to do a favor. The Zheng thieves took advantage of the large number of ships and blocked the river mouth.
, If there is help from the general's command, I will just put these gangs of thieves in order. I wonder what the general's intention is?"
