After Zhou Shaohuan took office, the last piece of the imperial state organization's military system began to be reorganized. However, now the eight military regions of the empire and the two fleets have been formed. Therefore, this time the reorganization was mainly the military institutions of the central government of the empire. That is, the highest military system of the empire.
According to Shang Yi's concept, the military institutions of the central government of the empire will be divided into two parts: the Ministry of Defense and the United Front Work Department. The function of the Ministry of Defense is to uniformly manage the construction of the national armed forces, the collection, organization, equipment, mobilization, and military technology of the army. Scientific research and development, military rank assessment, salary system, military factories, military bases, and military education institutions, and cooperation with the emperor and cabinet to participate in the formulation of major national policies and decision-making, as well as foreign military exchanges, but are not responsible for command and command Responsibilities of the national armed forces.
The United Front Work Department's tasks are not available to the Ministry of National Defense. Its main responsibilities are: responsible for commanding and commanding the national armed forces, training carried out in daily life and various military exercise tasks that simulate wars, formulating combat plans when wars occur, and Coordinate and resolve conflicts, connections, cooperation and other work between various services, and provide various references to the emperor and the cabinet's war resolutions.
Simply put, the Ministry of National Defense is responsible for the military's regular government affairs, while the United Front Work Department is preparing for war. It is usually the general staff of a country. During the war, it becomes the national combat center, and of course at the administrative level. In the above, the Ministry of Defense is higher than the United Front Work Department and can participate in cabinet meetings. The United Front Work Department is at the department level, equivalent to a direct department of the cabinet, but it is two independent institutions and is subject to dual-level leadership from the Cabinet and the Ministry of Defense.
The Ministry of National Defense has one minister and two deputy ministers, and six departments are located below: the Political Department, the Logistics Department, the Assembly Department, the Training and Education Department, the Military Industry Research Department, and the Defense Strategy Department. The United Front Work Department has one minister and the lower: The Army Staff Department, Navy Staff Department, Special Operations Department, and Tactical Research Department, among which the Army Staff Department and the Navy Staff Department serve as the Deputy Minister of the United Front Work Department, and there are also several senior staff advisers.
However, since the relationship between these two institutions is too close and indispensable, the Minister of United Front Work Department also serves as Deputy Minister of National Defense. When the war breaks out to a certain scale, the two departments will merge to form the unified national defense war command center , command the war in full swing.
But unlike the Ming Dynasty, the empire did not engage in the way civil officials controlled military generals. Therefore, whether it was the Ministry of National Defense or the United Front Work Department, officials must be active-duty soldiers, and officials from various departments and institutions at all levels must have corresponding Military Street, but except for the Minister of Defense, other departments strictly prohibit participating in national politics. If officials of the United Front Work Department want to participate in the enlarged cabinet meeting, the cabinet leader must agree.
In ancient China, since the Song Dynasty and the establishment of a unified dynasty, soldiers would be suppressed in a series of ways, because they were afraid that some people would be respectful and raise troops to rebel. On the one hand, they used a large number of civil servants to take positions in the military system, and on the other hand, they also used a large number of civil servants to take positions in the military system. The social status of military generals was strongly devalued, such as the military organization Privy Council set up in the Song Dynasty and the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty, which actually forbidden military generals to take office. The actual status of the first and second-rank officials of the martial rank rank was not as good as that of a fifth and sixth-rank civil servant, and in the entire society A trend of despising soldiers appeared, and as a result, most social elites were ashamed to join the army. On the contrary, a large number of unemployed refugees and rascals entered the army. So many middle and senior officers were all big names. The result is that the military's quality has been severely reduced.
Of course, with the emperor's mentality, of course, I think that the more military officers are illiterate, the better, and the more stupid they are, the better, so that they will not rebel. Therefore, in the Song and Ming dynasties, there were almost no military generals who had joined soldiers. The rebellion incident came at the expense of the combat effectiveness of the army.
Of course, Shang Yi knew that the army was the main foundation of the country and could never sacrifice the combat effectiveness of the army to control the army. Therefore, after the revolt, Shang Yi was also improving the quality, social status, and sense of honor of the army. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the most typical model is that soldiers can use military liturgy instead of kneeling and worship. This was a very special kindness in ancient China.
But this does not mean that Shang Yi will leave the army alone and expand the army's power infinitely. Under the political structure of the empire, soldiers can have a high social status and a strong sense of honor, but in the political field of the country, they can have a high social status and a strong sense of honor. , it is still necessary to minimize the participation of the military. Except for the Minister of Defense, other military officials are absolutely not allowed to interfere in politics. In the current and international situations, no good results will be achieved in the military's political affairs, or it will be formed. The soldiers are three dictatorial governments or transform into militarist countries.
In addition, Shang Yi could not give all the military rights of the whole country to one department for management. In fact, it was to divide the United Front Work Department into two parts and become two departments. The separated Ministry of National Defense was mainly responsible for military affairs, although it did not Directly manage the army, but the selection, organization, assembly, logistics and mobilization of the army are all subject to the responsibility of the Ministry of National Defense, while the power of the United Front Work Department has been greatly weakened, and it can only manage the military's daily training and wartime combat affairs, which is the most important thing. The United Front Work Department did not mobilize the army, while the Ministry of National Defense could mobilize the army, but did not control the army.
In the eight military regions in various places, the two fleets are under the dual leadership of the Ministry of National Defense and the United Front Work Department. The United Front Work Department is responsible for their daily training and operations, while personnel establishment, weapon assembly, logistics and salary, etc. are all made by The Ministry of National Defense management, and the operation process of the club nine. The logistics department, assembly department, training department of the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Education, the Military Research Department, etc., and the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Culture and Education, and the Academy of Sciences will also have certain conditions. To do intercourse, this work is coordinated and handled by the Minister of Defense and other departments.
The military rank and military positions of soldiers remain unchanged. The military ranks are still based on the generals of the Shiwei School, totaling 16 levels. The military positions are divided into squads, platoons, battalions, regiments, brigade divisions, etc. All administrative personnel of the military system will have corresponding results. The military ranks are limited to active-duty soldiers in the army. Of course, there are corresponding military ranks at all levels, so the rank standards of active-duty soldiers and military and political personnel can also be unified.
The highest rank is now the commander of the eight military regions and the two fleets, both of which are the ranks of generals. No one has been promoted to marshals at present, so the ranks of officers at all levels of the army have been determined in this way. The highest is the rank of generals, and the marshals are the ranks of generals. According to Shang Yi's idea, military rank should be just as the highest honor. Under normal circumstances, active-duty soldiers cannot be awarded the rank of marshal.
However, the situation is quite special now, because during the establishment of the empire, Zhou Shaohuan, Cheng Jin, Li Dingguo and others have made great contributions and should be given the necessary Juzhu. Therefore, at the appropriate time, Shang Yi also considered to The rank of marshals was awarded to several active marshals, of course, during this special period of the founding period, and after that, the rank of marshals could only be added after the retirement of the military personnel. However, although the rank and official rank are not related, A rough comparison can still be calculated.
It is also clearly stipulated that the standard for retirement is not to withdraw from the army, but to withdraw from the entire military system. In addition, active military personnel are prohibited from holding any other official or civilian positions, but after retirement, there is no such restriction. Take any official or civilian position, including participating in the election of MPs in various localities, participating in the imperial examinations, entering the administrative system, etc.
After a soldier retires, he can retain his military rank and can wear military uniforms and marching in any public manner. In special periods, he will be re-entered and re-entered. However, after retirement, he will serve as a public official in other countries. Retired soldiers will be strictly prohibited from demobilizing and enlisting in the army, and they will also be prohibited from wearing military uniforms on formal occasions, but the rank of military rank can still be retained.
Generally speaking, the framework of the military system was built like this, and various relevant systems were basically determined. Zhou Shaohuan immediately began to form other departments under the Ministry of National Defense. In fact, these departments were almost all in the United Front Work Department. , and in recent years, the work of various departments has been well done, and Zhou Shaohuan has not made too many adjustments and has basically remained in office.
But there are also new positions, namely two deputy ministers and ministers of the Ministry of Defense Strategy. One of them is the Minister of the United Front Work Department. Therefore, Zhou Shaohuan only needs to nominate two officials, because the empire is now military and sea and land, so Zhou Shaohuan also believed that he was not familiar with the affairs of the navy and that the deputy minister should come from the naval system, so he nominated Cheng Gang, who is now in the Navy Department, and Zhou Shaohuan was nominated to be the commander of the Sichuan Military Region, Li Mou.
Shang Yi had no objection to the two candidates nominated by Zhou Shaohuan and thought it was very suitable. Therefore, he immediately ordered Chenggang and Li Mou to take office in Nanjing, and Li Mou left the position of commander of the Sichuan Military Region. Deputy Commander You Hongliang took over.
The personnel of the Ministry of National Defense were determined, and Shu also began to establish the United Front Work Department. Now the three most important positions in the United Front Work Department are the Minister of the United Front Work Department, the Chief of Staff of the Army Department, and the Chief of Staff of the Navy Department.
The cabinet recommended personnel are Cheng Jin, Minister of the United Front Work Department, Chief of Staff of the Army Department, and Huang Zhen, Chief of Staff of the Navy Department.
Cheng Jin and Li Dingguo were originally candidates who were tied with Zhou Shaohuan as ministers of the Ministry of National Defense. Now Zhou Shaohuan has served as ministers of the Ministry of National Defense, so the Minister of United Front Work Department naturally chose between these two people, because Cheng Jin's qualifications are higher than Li Dingguo, so he won. Li Dingguo could only settle for the second best and became the Chief of Staff of the Army. After Cheng Gang of the Navy became Deputy Minister of National Defense, the Chief of Staff of the Navy could only be appointed by another general of the Navy, Huang Zhen. .
Shang Yi had no objection to this, and approved it all, and immediately issued an edict to order everyone to take office in Beijing.
