The strongest Marquis in history

Zhuge Feng said: "What do you mean?"

At this moment, Zhuge Feng was very surprised, you must know that he came prepared.But Wang Qi is talking eloquently at the moment, as if he had been prepared for a long time.

Wang Qi said slowly: "Brother, the third force I mentioned is a force that is dispatched by both the imperial court and local officials. It has fewer people and is only responsible for maintaining local law and order and arresting thieves. the power of."

"For such a force, the candidates are mainly selected from the retired soldiers of the two previous forces."

"And the soldiers of the army mentioned above must all be young and strong. When they reach a certain age, they will directly withdraw from the army and no longer stay in the army to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army."

"In this way, the army has combat effectiveness, and the last third force has a source of soldiers."

"The specific division is the first force, which is mainly responsible for external operations. When it comes to the external expansion of the army, these soldiers will be dispatched. The second force is responsible for maintaining internal stability."

"Of course, when foreign wars require it, some of them can also be transferred."

"The third force is arranged by officials at the local level, and it is the only one that can be arranged by the government. For the first transfer, you need to ask the imperial court for instructions, and the latter is for dual management."

Wang Qi said: "Following this step is the real separation of the military and the government. Local officials will not be able to take advantage of loopholes. Anyone who expands private soldiers will be killed without mercy."

After hearing this, Zhuge Feng was filled with admiration, and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

He was convinced.

After such a division, it will be clearer and more specific, and it will not be held by local officials.

As long as the army is not in chaos, nothing will be in chaos.

Zhuge Feng said: "Your Majesty, the army is a conventional name. How to call the second force? How to call the third force? After all, we must determine a name, and then arrange according to this rule, and reorganize all of them."

After thinking for a while, Wang Qi said: "The army that maintains domestic law and order is called the Wuwei Army, and it is called the Wuwei Department. When it comes to local power, it is named the Wu'an Army, and it is called the Wuan Department. The army is the real army."

Zhuge Feng thought about it, and said: "The Ministry of Military Defense is to defend the country; the Ministry of Military Safety is to maintain local stability. The two names are indeed appropriate. I will immediately transfer personnel from the Ministry of War and reorganize local forces. Get this thing done. It involves nationwide arrangements, and it’s not a simple thing to accomplish.”

Wang Qidao: "This matter is neither easy nor simple. Because the Wu'an Department and the Wuwei Department have a vertical system from top to bottom. Among them, the Wuwei Department is the equivalent of the six ministries of the imperial court, and the subordinates are the chief generals at the state level. Commander at the county level."

"When it comes to the Ministry of Military and Defense, you only need to go to the county level, and you don't need to go down to the county level. However, the Ministry of Wu'an involves the county level. There must be personnel in every county and every town. The bottom layer is brought under control."

Wang Qidao: "This is an arrangement on the level."

After Zhuge Feng heard this, he nodded and said: "Your Majesty is wise, I will follow this strategy and arrange from top to bottom. First appoint the main responsible persons at all levels. After all, there are not many officials at the county level. Once it is decided Afterwards, things progressed step by step. As for how to set up and how many staff members are needed, each person is responsible for the arrangement. This is a level-by-level task.”

Wang Qi nodded and said: "That's what it means. Arrange the tasks. One state is responsible for the affairs of one state, and one county is responsible for the affairs of one county. The adjustments will be completed in the shortest possible time. As long as someone takes office, everything will be properly arranged. "

Zhuge Feng said: "Your Majesty, what about the military salaries and salaries of the personnel of the Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Security? These are all localized, or how to arrange them?"

Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "All the officers and soldiers of the Ministry of Defense go directly to the army. Just like the army here, they allocate money from the treasury alone. As for the Ministry of Defense, they allocate money directly from the local government. Counties at the county level are in charge, and counties at the county level are in charge. The state at the state level is responsible. However, the Ministry of Military and Defense has a dual leadership, accepting dual leadership directly under the superior and local."

After hearing this, Zhuge Feng said: "Your Majesty's arrangement is really clever. With this arrangement, the army arrangement in Qi State is clear and easy to arrange. It should be rare for local affairs to be important. , so that the local officials won’t control the army to rebel.”

Wang Qidao: "This is just a solid framework. To truly ensure the long-term peace and stability of the Qi country, the court officials need to be clear and bright. Although local officials cannot touch the army, if there are countless corrupt officials and the people can't live, there will also be turmoil. There will still be problems at the local level. Most fundamentally, officials must be able to benefit the people. Brother, you have a lot of things here, and this matter should be arranged as soon as possible.”

Zhuge Feng said: "I understand the humble job!"

After a pause, Zhuge Feng said: "Your Majesty, there is one more matter just now."

Wang Qi said: "What's the matter?"

Zhuge Feng said: "Your Majesty said just now that the Ministry of Military and Defense is equivalent to the Six Ministries, which means that the Ministry of War cannot govern the Ministry of Military and Security, but only the Ministry of Military and Security?"

Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "That's what it means. The Ministry of Military Defense and the army are directly under me. Unless there is an order from me, it is impossible to act rashly, so the level is different. Of course, if the Ministry of Military Defense wants to take action at the local level, please ask the superior, and through the superior. Approval is appropriate, and action can also be taken. In short, the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defense is no longer under the jurisdiction of the Six Departments, and it is no longer under the Ministry of War."

After hearing this, Zhuge Feng frowned slightly.

Such an arrangement is tantamount to being independent from the Ministry of War, which is somewhat different.

Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "The army is an army, and there will be a separate person in charge, which belongs directly to me. The Ministry of War here is responsible for the Ministry of Wu'an, and it involves recruitment and mobilization, as well as equipment. In fact, follow-up should be It will be adjusted a little bit. But now, first establish the two major systems of the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Military Safety, and then consider other things."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Zhuge Feng had no objection to Wang Qi's arrangement.

He just felt that the Ministry of War was weakened.

Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "Brother, when the military system is fully adjusted, you will jump out of the military department, and the affairs of the military department will be handed over to other people. You will be in charge of the military affairs, and the military will establish a separate system."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Zhuge Feng answered with a nod.

According to Wang Qi's arrangement, this is naturally a suitable arrangement.And for him, he is also happy.Even Zhuge Feng was shocked when he talked with Wang Qi.

Wang Qi seemed to have too many things in his mind.As one of the first to follow Wang Qi, he knew that printing, Wuliangye, and other perfumes sold, and even many cities in the academy, as well as medical skills, were all led by Wang Qi.

When it comes to the adjustment of the army and internal affairs, Wang Qi's arrangement is even more reasonable. This is to weaken the imperial court's interference in the army to the greatest extent, and make the army system independent.

However, this is subject to the imperial court.

All the supplies, all the military pay, etc., still need to be issued by the treasury.

Wang Qi continued: "Brother, these things are not simple things, but many problems. You have fully mobilized the military department. We are running out of time now. Cao Xuan is very strong. His place is not big, but his weapons have surpassed us."

"Besides, the Hercynian Empire that this person belongs to is different from Hadmon, who we have been in contact with before. The strength of the entire Hercynian Empire far surpasses ours now."

"We are pressed for time, and we must sort out everything in the country in the shortest possible time."

Wang Qi said: "Now, the time is not waiting for me."

"I understand!"

Zhuge Feng also nodded, feeling the great pressure.

He is the Secretary of the Ministry of War, and he knows about Cao Xuan's affairs, and Mo Liu's sole responsibility for the development of grenades, etc., so Zhuge Feng is actually a little worried.

Of course, military reforms and domestic adjustments may cause too many problems if you don't pay attention, so you must carefully consider them.

Zhuge Feng didn't stay any longer, he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

"Go!"

Wang Qi nodded.

Zhuge Feng bowed and saluted, then got up to say goodbye.

He left the palace, looked up at the majestic palace, and was even more amazed in his heart.The future of Qi State will definitely be stronger than that of Da Zhou, and it will go further, and he is one of the people involved in these things.

Zhuge Feng was thinking in his heart, he thought of Zhou Zishan.Although he knew that Zhou Zishan was also busy, after all, it was not an easy task to promote the imperial examination to the whole country.

At this time, it would be of great help to chat with Zhou Zishan and listen to Zhou Zishan's advice.

Zhuge Feng went straight to the direction of the Ministry of Rites. When he saw Zhou Zishan, Zhou Zishan was still busy. He said with a smile: "Zhou Shangshu, if you have time in the evening, how about having a drink at my house?"

"no problem!"

Zhou Zishan replied with a smile.

Zhuge Feng invited him, of course he had something to do, so he directly agreed.

Zhuge Feng said: "Okay, you are busy."

He went straight back to the Military Deployment Office, carefully pondered the affairs of the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Security, and thought about each item in his mind. After all, to arrange these two items at the moment requires careful planning.

Unconsciously, time passed, and it was dark in a blink of an eye, Zhuge Feng got up and left the office.After he came out for a while, he ran into Zhou Zishan who was also coming out. After the two met, they took a carriage to Zhuge Feng's house.

When they arrived at the mansion, the two sat opposite each other.

There is wine and meat on the desk in front of him.

Zhuge Feng picked up the wine bottle and said: "Zhou Shangshu, come and have a drink. Speaking of which, you and I have known each other for many years, and we have never been so idle to drink. This is the first time."

"Zhuge Shangshu, please!"

Zhou Zishan picked up the wine bottle in return, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

With a thick smile on his face, he said: "Shangshu Zhuge, it's true. These years, whether it's you, me, or the rest of the people under His Majesty's command, they are constantly spinning like a spinning top. I'm so busy, I don't have time to stop."

"That's right now, a little free."

"However, conquering the world is much easier than governing the world. Governing the world is complicated, and it is not an easy and simple matter. This matter is not easy!"

Zhou Zishan looked a little tired.

During this period of time, he was so busy with the imperial examination that he almost never touched the ground.

Zhuge Feng said: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, it is indeed not easy, this imperial examination is the first time in the world."

With a smile in his eyes, Zhou Zishan said: "Although it is hard work, it is exciting, because the imperial examination is a matter of today's merits and benefits for the future. Especially the world's elite can enter the court through the imperial examination. Although these things, there are still here and there. problems, but compared to the past, it has improved a lot.”

Zhuge Feng said: "The imperial examination can be said to benefit the common people."

After a pause, Zhuge Feng said: "Zhou Shangshu, speaking of it, there is also a first-ever incident here. I have been ordered by His Majesty to take charge of this matter, and now I ask Zhou Shangshu to refer to it in detail."

Zhou Zishan said: "Shangshu Zhuge, does this need to be kept secret?"

Zhuge Feng said: "All the six ministers can know about this matter. What's more, it's about to be arranged, it's not a secret."

Zhou Zishan said: "I would like to hear the details."

He was also curious in his heart, what was going to happen again.Today's Qi State is carrying out the most thorough thing, and that is land reform.However, this matter, because Qi State has mastered the entire world, is still advancing.

It's just that now it's slower and more stable.

His imperial examination is also a big deal.

The existence of these things will inevitably lead to earth-shaking changes, and Qi will also undergo earth-shaking changes.

Zhuge Feng took a sip of wine, ate a piece of meat, and then elaborated on the affairs of the Ministry of Military Defense and Ministry of Security, as well as the arrangements involving the army, and explained everything clearly.

After everything had been explained, Zhuge Feng said: "Zhou Shangshu, you have always been a perceptive person, please teach me, Zhou Shangshu, what should I pay attention to at this moment?"

After hearing this, Zhou Zishan was also shocked.

Shocked by Wang Qi's consideration.

Shocked by Wang Qi's foresight.

According to this strategy, in addition to the five major military regions, the strength of the Ministry of Defense in various places in the next step will be second only to the army.With the Ministry of Military and Defense in place, the world cannot be chaotic.Even if the Ministry of Defense cannot stabilize the situation, the army will still come.

As for the Ministry of Wu'an, the establishment is even more ingenious.With the Ministry of Wu'an, the control of the local army in various places will be completely weakened. Although there are people in the local area, they are all under the control of the imperial court.

Zhou Zishan took a deep breath and thought about it carefully, but Zhuge Feng didn't bother him, just quietly watched from the side, allowing Zhou Zishan to think carefully.

After a long time, Zhou Zishan said: "Shangshu Zhuge, in my opinion, the key point of this matter is the balance of interests. The so-called arrangement, the so-called implementation of the New Deal, especially the government affairs in the military, must properly arrange the interests."

"As long as the distribution of benefits is completed, no one will obstruct it. Only in this way can the resistance to progress be reduced. If there is resistance at the local level, although it can be dealt with, but resistance everywhere, it will not be easy to push forward."

"What you have to do is arrange the personnel of each county and state, and include a group of influential people so that they can be used by you. In my opinion, as long as you arrange this way, it will not be so difficult."

Zhou Zishan said with a smile: "The key point is the responsible person in each place, be sure to choose well."

After Zhuge Feng listened, he nodded and said: "What Zhou Shangshu said is very true. In fact, what is difficult now is that it is difficult to choose personnel from various places! If there are suitable personnel in the locality, I don't need to worry about it. Come on, your eyes are black."

Zhou Zishan said: "I will give you a solution."

Zhuge Feng said: "Brother Zhuge, please enlighten me!"

Zhou Zishan said: "The place is blind. If you go to the Intelligence Bureau, with the assistance of Director Chen, it will be easy to find someone. In addition, when it comes to the full-time personnel of the Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Security in various places, the imperial court will arrange candidates."

"It involves a lot of deputies. For these candidates, you select them from the local area, or draw them in from the local area, and include these influential people. If they get benefits, they will stand on your side."

"At the county level, after you are appointed with full positions, you can then transfer the local county magistrate, or county lieutenant, or even other influential people. Naturally, you can advance."

Zhou Zishan said: "It's still the sentence I explained first, this is the coordination of interests."

After listening to Zhou Zishan's words, Zhuge Feng understood.

The balance of interests, or the use of interests to open the way, can be continuously promoted, otherwise, this matter will not be easy to handle.As for those who are disobedient, follow-up adjustments are just that.As long as the general framework is set, everything will go smoothly.

Zhuge Feng said: "Zhou Shangshu, thank you very much, I understand this matter, how to proceed."

With the general direction set, Zhuge Feng and Zhou Zishan chatted about the imperial examinations, and even detailed small things about the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Wu'an, and many things were explained one by one.

The two chatted, unaware of the passage of time, and more than an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhuge Feng was still awake.

The same goes for Zhou Zishan.

Zhou Zishan drank the wine and ate the meat. After talking about the matter, he stood up and said, "Brother Zhuge, take your leave!"

"Thank you, brother Zhou, for your reminder this time. It has benefited me a lot. Especially for some details, I have a direction and can reduce some detours."

Zhuge Feng also hurriedly thanked him.

He personally sent Zhou Zishan away, and then returned to his room to think about the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Security.After all, this matter is about to be implemented and must be completed as soon as possible.
