Chapter 440: Military and Political Reform
The Datong Governor's Palace, Wei Zheng, who had returned victoriously, Sun Chengzong, who had just been appointed chief of staff of the Haw Par Army and was completely disappointed in the imperial court, was also a military advisor who hurried back from the front line......
From now on, the three most powerful people in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces are sitting together to discuss the way out of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces and the entire Ming Dynasty in the future.
As the veritable emperor of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, Wei Zheng, who was not biased or unfortunate, just planned to use this discussion to push out the military and political reform that had been brewing in his heart for a long time.
Half a year ago, after really controlling the military and political power of the two provinces, Wei Zheng planned to copy the military and political physique of later generations. Change the corrupt, but also dictatorial and dictatorial constitution of the Ming Dynasty.
However, because of the scruples of the imperial court, there is no capital that can confront the imperial court. As the governor of Shanxi, Wei Zheng has always been a ninja and has not said the groundbreaking thoughts in his heart.
However, after this military conflict, the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, which had completely become independent from the imperial court and had absolute autonomy, had invisibly possessed the conditions for military and political reform.
More importantly, after the completion of the military and political reform in my heart, it will not only play a very great role in promoting the military strength of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, but also greatly promote the economy of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces.
It is like a dose of living water injected into the dead Tan to make the two Shanxi provinces, whose economic development has already reached a bottleneck, once again full of vitality to further enhance the potential of the two provinces and increase the strength of the two provinces......
Therefore, the discussion of the latest form of the Ming Dynasty had just ended, and Wei Zheng, who was full of spirits, expressed his thoughts on military and political reform......
Face ideas you've never heard before. Sun Chengzong and Zhou Shuyuan's faces. Directly showed a puzzled expression.
But. As Wei Zheng's old partner, military advisor Zhou Shuyuan has heard all kinds of novel and strange ideas from Wei Zheng's mouth more than once. So after only a short period of doubt, the military advisor Zhou Shuyuan opened his mouth to ask. "Marshal, what ......are you talking about about this military and political reform?"
Facing Zhou Shuyuan and Sun Chengzong's gaze at him, Wei Zheng said directly: "The specific content of the military and political reform, this commander is talking about the last hour. I can't say enough. "However, the marshal can give you an example...... "Take the government below us as an example, all the military and political affairs of the government are decided by the prefect alone. This rule, Ben Shuai doesn't say it, you know it. "To put it more bluntly, this prefect is the emperor of the land of a mansion." "In the whole process of the operation of the government, once the prefect's decision-making is not a problem, or the prefect is incapable. It's a corrupt official...... Then, the land under the jurisdiction of this prefect. It will be governed, and the last people who will suffer are definitely tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of people in a single place......"
Seeing the expressions of approval on the faces of Sun Chengzong and Zhou Shuyuan, Wei Zheng's words changed and continued: "In such a situation, how can this kind of thing be prevented? There is only one answer, and that is the military and political reform that Ben Shuai will talk about next. "After the completion of the military and political reform, in the territory of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, all kinds of military and political affairs in one government will no longer be decided by the prefect alone, but by several people...... "As far as this commander knows, in each government, in addition to the prefect, there are also Tongzhi below, and the general judgment ...... Some officers and soldiers assisted the prefect in managing all the important military and political affairs of a prefecture. However, in the process of management, these officials do not have decision-making power, and at most can only be called assistants to the prefect. "However, after the completion of the military and political reform, these officials will not be as simple as an assistant." "The idea is to further increase the status of Tongzhi and other officials in the government, and to participate in all important decisions in the government." "After the completion of the reform of the commander, in addition to the prefect, there are also the general soldiers, the deputy prefect, the same knowledge, and the deputy ...... All important decisions in the land of one government must be discussed by five people, and then voted, and the minority obeys the majority to implement. "In this process, the prefect has the right to veto. However, as long as the prefect uses this right, the matter discussed by the prefect must be reported......"
The military advisor's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "This is good, in this way, the prefect can't do anything wrong in his own office, and he can do whatever he wants......" "In addition, there is a good saying, that is, there is a lot of strength in numbers, and three stinkers are worth one Zhuge Liang." The minds and wisdom of five people, no matter what, are far superior to one. ”
As for Sun Chengzong's face, there was also an expression of approval.
As soon as Zhou Shuyuan finished speaking, he followed up and asked: "Dashuai, what ...... will these five people manage after the reform is completed?" Wei Zheng replied with a smile: In Ben Shuai's opinion, these five people are called the five standing committee members of the land of a government. All major military and political affairs in the land of one place must be discussed by these five people together before a decision can be made. "As for the rights and management scope of these five people, Ben Shuai has already thought clearly......
"The prefect, undoubtedly the head of the five Standing Committee, is responsible for managing and coordinating all important military and political affairs and the appointment of officials within the prefect. Of course, all the appointments of officials above the eighth rank in the province must be discussed and approved by the majority of the Standing Committee of the Guò Standing Committee........."
"As for the deputy prefect, there are two things, one is to take charge of all the prisons in the house. The other is responsible for supervising and detecting all unruly civil and military officials in the province...... Ensure the integrity of all civil and military officials in the territory. "Tongzhi, manage all government affairs in the territory except for prisons and military divisions...... "Deputy Tongzhi, while assisting Tongzhi in managing government affairs, he is in charge of the financial and tax ...... in the territory" "The general army, without incident, is in charge of all garrisons and bandit suppression matters in the land of a government. Other than that. Except for major military and political affairs, the general army cannot meddle in local government affairs for any reason...... "The last point, the five standing committee members just mentioned by the commander are all discussed and appointed by the five standing committee members at the provincial level, and no one has the right to dismiss them...... "The last article, in order to avoid forming gangs and cliques and protecting each other, the chief soldier and deputy prefect of the five standing committees are not only managed and appointed by the standing committee at the next higher level, but also directly managed and appointed by the relevant departments of the governor's office. ”
"In this way, we will be able to ensure the independence of the prison and the military as much as possible, and avoid a situation in which local gangs and officials protect each other......" (To be continued......
