Chapter 443: Military Regions and Political Regions

"What Your Majesty asked, Your Majesty should have an answer, and I dare not show off my skills."

"Why do you have the idea that I know everything and can do everything?"

"Uh... I'm afraid, then I'll show off my skills."

"speak."

Yang Ji heard this and took a cup of tea to moisten his throat, revealing his thoughts.

First of all, because the times are different, there is no need for Zhou State to ‘copy’ Li Tang’s administrative divisions and local administrative systems, and the division of civil and military affairs can be realized in advance.

As he previously suggested, the general administrations of the whole country were merged, abolished, and reduced to less than twenty. Then, this first-level local administrative division is divided into three departments, and manages public security, civil affairs and supervision functions respectively.

The military and political functions of the General Administration Office are undertaken by the garrisons in various places under the jurisdiction of the General Office of the Sixteen Guards. Once a large-scale rebellion occurs, the military office will naturally gather the troops to attack the head-on. If it still fails, the center will dispatch troops to quell the rebellion.

In this way, the "maintainer" of the General Administration Office is not worthy of its name, so the first-level local administrative division of the General Administration Office needs to be renamed. As for the rename to Xingtai, road, road, and province, it doesn't matter.

Each first-level administrative division commander is responsible for handling more serious public security incidents, such as suppressing bandits, suppressing small-scale civil unrest, etc., and also assumes the function of local officials to overthrow the powerful households in the country and to strengthen their surnames.

The armed forces directly under the command of the Ministry of Command are armed police.

Armed police officers can draw troops from military offices in their jurisdiction, which can also be regarded as the "leading" of military offices. Because military offices and military offices are existing, there is no problem of expansion and substantial increase in expenditures.

The soldiers of the government had to go to the capital or the general administration regularly to "office" but now they are nothing more than different ways of serving after the "office".

Anyway, as there is nothing wrong today, these soldiers are doing nothing in their garrisons, so taking on the responsibility of armed police is also playing a role.

The Administrative Office is responsible for handling civil affairs, but when exercising functions, ordinary police (criminal police, public security police, household registration police, etc.) must assist to be responsible for general public security work and "law enforcement".

If the ordinary police force does not return to the commander-in-chief, the establishment of the general police force requires new recruitment, so it will incur considerable expenses, but this is necessary to ensure the smooth progress of the governing and envoy.

The Criminal Inspector General inspects local officials, because they have the word "re-re-sentence", so they are also responsible for "re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-

Therefore, the Censorate of the Censorate has the functions of "Censorship" (judicial supervision) and "Censorship" (administrative supervision). The Ministry of Justice and the Censorate are both their superiors. Then the chief official is "Censorship" (appointed by the Censorate) and the adjutant is "Censorship" (appointed by the Ministry of Justice), which can solve the primary and secondary problem.

The Criminal Inspectorate also needs police assistance when exercising its functions. So the question is: Who is the direct superior of ordinary police?

Yang Ji, who participated in the formation of the police force, suggested that the police chief directly under the imperial court should manage local police agencies at all levels, and the local chief in charge of civil affairs can command the police with full authority, but the police agency within the police agency has no right to interfere in personnel matters.

In this way, the local governments are divided into capitals and databases, and the police agencies are supported by the three departments, which can achieve the separation of military and political affairs (divided from civil and military affairs), and can effectively maintain public order, and there is no need for the supervisory agency to evolve into a new administrative agency.

Speaking of this, Yang Ji began to sincerely praise Yuwen Wen's conceived and implemented the police system. As the party involved, he truly realized the benefits of the police system.

In response to this, Yuwen Wen said, "The flattery is extremely stiff. I feel embarrassed when I hear it. Where are you?"

Yang Ji smiled dryly: "Your Majesty is right, I am so ugly."

"Okay, you have said so much, I'll pick on it."

Yuwen Wen also drank a cup of tea to moisten his throat and began to pick on it: "First of all, the military mansion is a system. There is a mother-in-law - the General of the Sixteen Guards. Now you add a mother-in-chief to the local military mansion - the Commander-in-Chief Department. Who will the young wife listen to?"

"Local security requires military troops, and the imperial court also needs military troops to summon troops to attack. When there is a conflict between the needs of the two, which agency will coordinate? Should we add a higher-level agency? I am afraid that it is not necessary to put a bundle of beds and build houses?"

"Secondly, military affairs are undertaken by the garrison. Once there are civil unrest and rebellion that the armed police cannot suppress, the garrison will solve it. So, who should define this "civil unrestrained civil unrest and rebellion"?"

"At some time, a large-scale armed battle between clans, nearly 10,000 people on both sides' participation in the war, both men, women, and young and old, the commander felt that the scene was out of control and asked the garrison to send emergency services. The garrison generals felt that this was worthy of my cannon? What if the miserable cried everywhere and massacred the people afterwards?"

"There are many mother-in-laws, and it is difficult for a young wife to do it!" Yuwen Wen said while filing the food case, "You don't have government affairs experience, why didn't you think of this problem?"

Yang Ji was a little nagging: "No, I am just a preliminary idea, let's put forward the framework first..."

"Okay, as a longtime person... uh, I'll share my experience with you."

Yuwen Wen drank another cup of tea to moisten his throat, and then gave him his opinions one by one.

His knowledge is far beyond Yang Ji, so how to achieve the path of division between civil and military affairs is actually not difficult for him, just "adapt to moderate reference".

In China, the principle is to implement a new military region system. Of course, the specific name remains to be discussed.

The military region system actually existed in this era, such as Xingtai, General Administration, and Governor's District, which can actually be called the military region system. It is nothing more than the integration of the military region and the political region (administrative division). The military region commander also serves as the political region commander, and is both civil and military.

Why does this happen?

It is very simple. Military operations in the military region require the mobilization of materials within the jurisdiction, and the people need to be recruited to serve the military and serve the war.

At the same time, the powerful and powerful clans in the jurisdiction, Qiang Zong and his surname are thorns for the government. Administrative officials want to "subjugate" these thorns, and they dare not speak loudly without soldiers in their hands.

Therefore, in order to ensure the high efficiency of military and political affairs and reduce the cost of rule and combat, it is necessary for the military district chief to serve as the provincial chief.

The price is that the military district chief is prone to losing his or her rank.

But the new military region system is different. Military regions and political regions are separated. In other words, the coverage of military regions and the scope of political regions is different. The military region chief will not serve as the political region chief, and the same is true for the other hand.

If the administrative regions are re-divided, they can be provincial-level administrative regions such as Henan Province, Hebei Province, Shandong Province, Shanxi Province, Jiangsu Province, Jiangxi Province, etc. that are well known to Yuwen Wen.

But military regions do not need so many. The military jurisdiction of a military region can span several political regions.

In the country of Zhou, it is enough to build ten major military regions.

Of course, Yuwen Wen would not copy the seven military regions in later generations, but instead introduced a simple concept of military regions to divide military administrative divisions in Zhou State. The military region chief did not care about civil affairs, taxes, but only military affairs.

The general public security management of administrative regions at all levels is the responsibility of civil affairs agencies. The promotion of military chiefs is carried out in the military official system, and the promotion of civil affairs chiefs is carried out in the civil affairs system, and there will be no intersection between the two.

In this way, the way of division between civil and military affairs is realized.

This move eliminated the possibility of separatist and independent local officials, but in this way, wouldn’t the military chief in charge of military power have the possibility of separatist and independent?

No, because the court does not even need to control the supply of food, it only needs to control the ordnance and gunpowder.

When artillery and muskets become the main combat equipment of the army, when the army achieves the thermal weaponization, the imperial court will control the production and transportation of ordnance and gunpowder, which will effectively restrict local garrisons.

The chiefs of major military regions will not have the opportunity to get involved in military weapon surveillance. The major military weapon surveillance (including a few military weapon surveillances that can make cannons), and their management and guards are not the turn of military regions to speak.

If the military chief wants to rebel, not to mention that the military orders must be resolved first and the restrictions of the military and political branches, it may be quick to kill the inspectors (military supervisors, etc.) in the army. It may not be difficult to defeat the armed police force of the local officials, but to attack the city, you have to face the city defense artillery.

At the same time, the nearest military weapon prison must be captured to seize muskets and gunpowder.

Before that, the central government sent a large army of rebels to be killed on a steamer ship.

Even if the two sides confront each other and there is no supply of gunpowder from military weapons, how long can the rebels last?

Even if there is gunpowder supply, what about fierce explosives? There are very few military weapons supervisors that can produce fierce explosives.

The rebels' artillery can only fire solid bullets, and the official army's artillery can fire flowering bullets loaded with fierce explosives. When the two armies bombard each other, who will die first?

It can be said that as the war entered the age of hot weapons, the army's dependence on ordnance and gunpowder increased significantly. Without gunpowder, muskets and cannons were scrap iron, and their combat power was instantly zero.

The rebels could not recruit craftsmen to make cannons, muskets, and gunpowder.

The emergence of steamships (propeller propulsion) greatly increased the ability of the court to send troops to various places, and the emergence of fierce explosives allowed the central court to maintain its technological advantages over local military leaders.

Therefore, the court's ability to suppress rebellion has increased several times, and the difficulty of rebelling by military leaders has increased several times.

Then on this basis (the huge technological gap between new transportation tools and weapons), it is feasible to establish a new military region system, and the military region does not need to overlap with the political region, and the path of military and political integration will be cut off from the source.

Foreign military operations are still a marching system and do not need to be changed.

Hearing this, Yang Ji nodded silently. This simple military region system, which separates military regions and political regions, can indeed effectively achieve the purpose of local officials' civil and military divisions.

"As for how the military region and the political region should coordinate to ensure the daily supply of food and grass for the garrison, when the military region conducts military operations, it can obtain personnel and material support from the political region, and how the two sides can coordinate to effectively deal with major emergencies of major public security incidents, this requires further institutional construction and cannot be finished in just a few words."

Yuwen Wen said, shook his head and smiled: "To put it bluntly, if you want to achieve the path of civil and military division without reducing efficiency, you have to spend a lot of money. For the courts of all dynasties, the central government's financial resources are not enough to make ends meet. Then local officials have both civil and military administration, which is the best solution for efficient and low-cost administration. Therefore, even if there are hidden dangers of becoming bigger, they can only implement it with a tough eye."

"Now, the court wants to reform the law. If you don't talk about anything else, first talk about whether there is money or food, and then talk about whether there is enough money or food. If the finance cannot hold on, no reform will be of use."

"It's hard to make money, but no matter how difficult it is, I have to grit my teeth and hold on."

Yang Ji quickly agreed: "Your Majesty has the right to make money, so sure..."

"Okay, stiff, stiff!"
