Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1497 Military and Political
The separation of the military and the government is the general trend, and all advanced systems will eventually follow this path.

However, the relationship between "military and government" has always been confused and mixed in history, and has never been adjusted and explored for thousands of years.

Before the Qin Dynasty, the feudal system was realized, which is also the original meaning of "feudalism". Weak and weak, the branches are strong, and finally the great empire fell apart...

Why is Qin Shihuang called "one emperor through the ages"?
It is precisely because he unified the land of China in the true sense and created an unprecedented "centralization"!
In order to strengthen local rule, the Qin Dynasty implemented the system of prefectures and counties, and changed the integration of local military and government administration, with the county guard in charge of administration, the county lieutenant in charge of military affairs, and the county supervisor and censor in charge of supervision.And there are corresponding details as a supplement to this system, which greatly enhances the authority of the central government.However, the system was overkill and weakened the basis of local rule.

In fact, looking at the system of the Qin Dynasty from a modern perspective, it is actually not backward. However, due to the constraints of the economy, communication, transportation and other conditions at that time, the central government could not manage the localities as well as it could. It seems to be unified, but in fact the central control over the local area is not strong.

So in the Han Dynasty, the enfeoffment system was restored to a certain extent, but the power of the princes and kings was restricted.

In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the king Zong was the governor, and the military and government were often integrated.

In the Sui and Tang dynasties, the prefectures and counties were in charge of civil affairs and military reclamation, and the military guards were in charge of the military. But in fact, the military and government were often entangled. There is no such thing as a separation of civil and military affairs", which made the concept of military and political integration deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, leading to a rapid expansion of local power.When the Anshi Rebellion broke out, in order to suppress the rebellion, the local government was empowered to expand the military, so that the local feudal towns were completely controlled by the military and the government. This was the root cause of the subjugation of the country.

The glorious Tang Dynasty, which was once extremely prosperous and full of beautiful flowers, finally collapsed and disappeared, causing many Han family sons to sigh and grieve...

In the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin learned the lessons of the previous generation, reused civil officials, ruled the military with literature, and separated military power.Although this move completely eliminated the danger of local support and self-reliance, the army's combat effectiveness was greatly weakened by the use of civilian officials who did not understand military affairs to lead the army.

The Yuan Dynasty was characterized by the implementation of the provincial system. The provinces actually played the role of the central agency. The provinces managed the localities, the local military and government were separated, and the central government selected local officials.

The Ming Dynasty set up three divisions in charge of administrative, military, and supervisory powers, and set up governors to strengthen the rule.

In fact, in Fang Jun’s view, the Ming Dynasty achieved the “separation of the military and the government” to a certain extent. The improvement of the cabinet system, the restriction of the imperial power, and the unprecedented increase in the power of the Ministry of War all built an almost perfect imperial structure.

However, against the will of the sky, the extremely harsh weather conditions during the Little Ice Age prevented the society of the Ming Dynasty, which had been bound by farming ideas for a long time, from completing the transition from agriculture to industry and commerce in time. The rise of Manchuria in the Northeast, with its mighty military power, finally cut off the Shenzhou Lu Shen Guozuo, and the majestic Ming Dynasty finally turned into a cloud of smoke and dust.

If it is said that the Ming Dynasty died in Manzhou, it is better to say that it died in the sky...

*****
The officials of the Ministry of War didn't know what this so-called "Forge Bureau" was. It would be best if they could get the right to manufacture weapons, but since they didn't have the right to manufacture weapons, what's the point of repairing armor and weapons?
We would like to create, tinker, we don't want to...

This is the mind of the military officials.

But now it is no exaggeration for Fang Jun to say that he is covering the sky with one hand in the Ministry of War. Although he disagrees in his heart, no one dares to question it face to face.

"First of all, enclose all the land near Kunming's poolside gun test field, whether it is too big or not enough, because this will become the most core place of the Tang Dynasty's military in the future, and its level of secrecy can be called His Majesty's bedroom. !"

All the officials from the Ministry of War were invited to a meeting by Fang Jun, and the first sentence made all the officials dumbfounded...

The level of secrecy is comparable to that of His Majesty's bedroom?
Damn, this Fanger stick really dares to talk...

Looking at the bewildered expressions of all the deployments, Fang Jun raised the corner of his mouth and said in a sonorous tone: "In the future, this will be the largest department directly under the Ministry of War - the location of the Foundry Bureau. It will be the hope of the Ministry of War's rise, and it will also be the The foundation of the empire's prosperity! Not only will the gun test site be merged into the Foundry Bureau, but I will also donate the most advanced iron-smelting technology of the Fangjia Iron Works!"

The subordinates don't know what to say...

The most core, the most secret, the most high-end, hope, foundation, unique in the world... What kind of casting bureau is this, is it a yamen that can make people rise up?
Fang Jun sat proudly and looked around at the crowd. Facing a group of confused officials, he didn't feel much ridicule in his heart. After all, thousands of years had created an insurmountable "generation gap" between him and the people in front of him. They didn't know this at all. What does the establishment of a yamen mean.

"You may not understand right now, it doesn't matter, but you have to remember, today is the rise of the Great Tang Military Department, and it is also the day when the Great Tang Military Foundation was laid!"

Fang Jun turned his head to look at the clerk who was in charge of recording the summary of the meeting, and said in a deep voice: "Record the names of all the officials who attended the meeting today, because even after a thousand years, today's meeting of the Ministry of War to establish the Foundry Bureau will be a An epoch-making meeting in the eyes of future generations!"

The scribe was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Here!"

Then he began to record the names of the officials present one stroke at a time...

Fang Jun said to Liu Xun: "The structure of the Foundry Bureau can be modeled on the Military Supervision, General Supervision and other official offices. This official will personally serve as the supervisor of the Foundry Bureau. Liu Langzhong is the first young supervisor of the Foundry Bureau. This official is only in charge. Skills, all administrative affairs, are all in charge of Liu Langzhong."

Liu Shi's heart skipped a beat, and he suppressed his excitement and swallowed.

Judging from Fang Jun's emphasis on this foundry bureau, he will definitely support it with all his strength. As long as Fang Jun is in the Ministry of War for a day, this foundry bureau will be the most important department of the Ministry of War.But now Fang Jun is only in charge of skills, and all the administration is left to himself...

That's really powerful!

Although Fang Jun has the final decision-making power in some affairs, since Fang Jun made such a statement, it proves that he will not interfere too much with administrative affairs...

Liu Xun was a little short of breath, although he came from a famous family and had the great support of Taiyuan Wang, but he had never tasted the taste of "top leader" in any yamen!
The officials present looked at Liu Shi's face that suddenly flushed red, and they couldn't help being envious...

Although everyone has not figured out what earth-shattering events this casting bureau can do until now, but only from the fact that Fang Jun attaches so much importance to it, it can be seen that Liu Shi, the young supervisor, has a very important status.

They are all officials, who doesn't like power?
Guo Fushan, who was sitting at Fang Jun's attack, forced a smile on his face, but felt embarrassed and depressed in his heart!

He has always believed that he is the one most trusted by Fang Junzhi in the military department. Since Fang Jun "airborne" the military department, instead of fighting for power or profit, he has helped Fang Jun to maintain Fang Jun everywhere. Of course, there are reasons for his own personality , but such a good move should be Fang Jun's strongest ally in the Ministry of War.

The results of it?
When something good happened, the first thing this stick thought of was Liu Shi, the enemy...

Huh? !

Thinking of this, Guo Fushan's heart moved.

According to his understanding of Fang Jun, this guy is certainly not a grudge, because he will avenge it on the spot... But he is by no means a magnanimous gentleman who does not care about past suspicions. Repaying a grievance with virtue does not look like Fang Jun. This guy can do it.

Sure enough, when Liu Shi was in ecstasy and all the officials in the hall were envious and jealous, Fang Jun continued: "I have no other requirements for you, Mr. Liu, the only thing you must do is to poach people! "

"Digging...digging people?"

Not only Liu Shi didn't know why, but all officials were at a loss.

"That's right, digging people! The art of metallurgy will become a military weapon, and the level of metallurgical technology will determine the future achievements of the empire! As long as such important technologies can be firmly in the hands of the Ministry of War, they will naturally be able to The Ministry of War has gradually become the most powerful government office in the world! Therefore, we must grasp all the talents who are good at metallurgy in the world, not only that, but also cultivate our own metallurgical talents, and select some smart talents Apprentices, masters and apprentices, passed down from generation to generation, and continue to invest huge sums of money in the research and development of metallurgical technology, so that it will always remain ahead of the world!"

Fang Jun looked at Liu Shi, and said in a deep voice: "So, no matter which yamen, the military supervisor, the general supervisor, and the Shaofu supervisor, as long as they are talents in metallurgy, they will all be poached by this official! Tell them, when it comes to casting Not only will they immediately restore their status as civilians, but they can also become officials, be promoted, their descendants can participate in the imperial examination, and they can be paid according to their work, and even if they have made outstanding contributions, I can apply for the title of title from His Majesty for them!"

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the hall at first, and then there was an uproar!

Is this mallet going to turn the sky upside down?
