1683: Great Institutional Reform (middle)
When he walked out of the palace, Jin Jingnan's mind was still a mess. When he entered, he was still the powerful censor of the world. When he came out, he was nothing. Although there had not been an imperial edict yet, Jin Jingnan knew very well that in the Ming Dynasty, as long as the Emperor was determined to do, there was nothing that could not be done. In terms of organizational settings, the Political Affairs Hall did have a restraining effect on the emperor, but it also depends on who the person on the throne. For example, the Political Affairs Hall restricted him, to put it bluntly, it depends on whether he wanted to abide by it, because if he wanted to, most of the Political Affairs Hall could turn against him at any time.
Jin Jingnan carefully studied the system of imperial power, power and constraints implemented by the Ming Dynasty, and concluded that if this constraint really takes effect, it is afraid that one or two generations of people can truly be realized. Because of his outstanding achievements and great prestige, the founding emperor could basically ignore this constraint.
The reason why the Ming Dynasty seemed to have implemented this system very well on the surface, but in the end, it was because the emperor deliberately cooperated with this system. Once Qin Feng wanted to be a dictator, he could do it easily.
This is reality. Jin Jingnan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Where will my next stop be? It’s better to leave the Censorate. I offended too many people and interest groups in this position. If I stay there, maybe there will be no good ending. He comforted him in his heart.
A cool breeze blew, and Jin Jingnan suddenly stopped.
A scene flashed through his mind like lightning.
Before leaving, His Majesty's personal eunuch, Eunuch Guan Le, sent him out of the inner city. When he was leaving, he inexplicably said congratulations.
At that time, my mind was full of thoughts about the unexpected future, but I didn't notice this detail. Looking back at this time, it was very meaningful. Not everyone has such treatment as Eunuch Le personally gave out the inner city. In Jin Jingnan's memory, it seems that the only thing he enjoyed was the Chief Minister Quan Yun.
Congratulations? What does he congratulate me?
A burst of blood suddenly rushed into his mind. Jin Jingnan shook his body and almost fell down. This scared the family members who were waiting outside to pick him up and rushed forward to support him.
Jin Jingnan took a deep breath, shook off the help of everyone, turned around, bowed deeply to the direction of the imperial city, and shouted: "I must bow and finish my entire life, and die."
After saying this, he turned around and happily boarded the carriage in the confusing eyes of the families.
Inside the palace, Eunuch Le walked in from outside, walked to Qin Feng, and whispered a few words. Qin Feng laughed, "I finally got back to the taste. Mr. Le, is the kitten here?"
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of War is waiting in front of you." Eunuch Le said justice.
"Please come over. By the way, it's almost time to have a meal. Let the kitchen in the back make a few dishes. I will deal with the kitten in a while." Qin Feng ordered.
"Yes, I'll do it now." Eunuch Le said justice.
The kitten strode into the small conference hall. In the past few days, he has been in an extremely excited state. After seeing the steam-driven locomotive in the Tiangong Office, he has been like this. The matter of singularity cannot be shared with people for the time being. He does not care about the huge changes brought about by the significant improvement in railcar efficiency, but the level that can be achieved in the allocation of the army and the distribution of materials is enough to make him, the Minister of War, go crazy.
The Ming Dynasty's rail cars are increasing rapidly across the country, especially in the Ming Dynasty, where the main lines are close to completion. Next are Chu and the West. When these network layouts are completed, above the military means that the Ming Dynasty can concentrate all the national forces at a certain point at any time.
This can create an overwhelming advantage in a short period of time in war.
What can I fight in a war? In addition to the army's good fighting and courage, it is more of a competition of national strength and logistics. If you let a soldier starve for a few days, you are afraid that a three-year-old child will be able to defeat him.
How can Qi compare with us?
When the cat thought of the scene at that time, the kitten couldn't help but laugh. Because at that time, Qi could not determine where the Ming Dynasty would launch a general attack. In case, they could only arrange strong troops at all points. In this way, the consumption would become a bottomless pit. Especially Qi is now following the Ming Dynasty, diligently training elite troops, and increasing military pay. Although their army is less, they spend more military expenses than before.
Moreover, they are investing huge amounts of money in developing newer and better weapons to try to compete with the Ming Dynasty.
The arms race has always been a bottomless pit. The Ming Dynasty has taken countless steps ahead, and the later pursuers are destined to struggle hard in pain.
When you see hope, we will give you another heavy blow. This is the kitten's idea of being a bad thing. At this point, he has the same thoughts as Qin Feng.
"Your Majesty." Walked to Qin Feng, saluted and sat opposite Qin Feng: "I wonder if your Majesty summons me to the palace, what instructions do you have?"
Qin Feng smiled and said, "Did you not even sleep well these days?"
"Indeed, Your Majesty, your heart is surging and you can't help yourself." The kitten nodded repeatedly.
"If I still tell you something, will you be excited to go to Yuejing to run naked?" Qin Feng laughed.
"It's not good to run naked now. After all, I am an important minister of the Ming Dynasty. It's injustice and even more harmful to Your Majesty." Qin Feng's words seemed to evoke some happy memories in the past. The kitten said with a smile: "A steam locomotive is already shocking. What else can move me more than it?"
"That's not sure, because what I'm going to tell you right away is that for military affairs, it's a more terrifying existence than a steam engine. The steam engine is just a tool, and it is a demon." Qin Feng picked up something from the table, held it in his palm, and said to the kitten.
A small paper roll was tightly rolled up, with a piece of thread hanging in front of him, lying quietly in Qin Feng's palm.
"This is" the kitten stared at the scroll of paper with wide eyes. It was hard to imagine how this thing could do something even more terrifying than a steam locomotive.
"You're not eye-catching!" Qin Feng smiled and picked up the paper roll. Eunuch Le, who was on the side, immediately lit the candlelight. Qin Feng put the thread on the candlelight and lit it. Then he quickly picked up the teacup on the table with all the water, turned it back, and then let go of his hand.
The kitten blinked, and a rushing sound came from the teacup. The whole teacup jumped up several times before it became quiet.
When I opened the tea cup, the small paper roll inside no longer existed, and some confetti and some black powdery things remained.
The sound that just made scared the kitten, but it was just a shock.
"Just this is the movement?" he asked
"It's just this movement now." Qin Feng smiled and said, "If it's bigger, the movement will naturally be bigger. But kitten, you didn't expect that what if the power of this thing is ten or a hundred times?"
With a blast, a sound seemed to appear in his mouth, "It's not only that this cup will be blown into pieces, but even larger things will be blown up. If the power reaches a certain level, it's not too difficult to easily blow up a house." Qin Feng said with a smile.
The kitten's expression gradually became excited, "Your Majesty, can you do it?"
"Of course it can be made." Qin Feng said affirmatively: "The formula has come out. Although the things we make now are only heard by a loud sound, as long as we study hard, continuously purify the drugs, and improve the ratio, one day, he will be able to achieve the results we want."
"Your Majesty, did you think of this again?" The kitten stared at Qin Feng: "I heard from Xu that the reason for the steam engine was because of the inspiration you gave him."
"I get something occasionally, but it depends on Xu Lai and the others for specific research!" Qin Feng said modestly: "Now people who are studying this thing are on a small island, and the people who are responsible for security are the Eagle's Nest and the Navy. When the matter of going across the capital is over, we will take a look together. Kitten, don't underestimate this thing, it can generate countless weapons of mass destruction. After reaching a certain level, its power is definitely not comparable to our current catapult, thunderbolt fire. It is not a strange thing to move the earth and shake the mountain on one blow."
"What is Qi State worth in such a thing?" the kitten murmured.
"Don't be Meichu first. It will not take three to five years to get what I said." Qin Feng smiled and said, "Let's wait, but as long as you start, you won't stop. I have opened the demon's box and hope that he will not bear too bitter fruit in the future, but that is no longer something that our generation can see. Let's talk about what's happening, kitten, let's talk about what's happening in front of you."
"Yes." The kitten pressed his excitement. During this period, his mind was already unable to keep up with the new things that he could not take. "I wonder what happened if Your Majesty summoned me?"
"The Ming Dynasty court will carry out a major institutional reform." Qin Feng curled his smile, "Your Ministry of War is also in it."
The kitten smiled and said, "It's Your Majesty's Ministry of War. You can change whatever you want. I have no objection at all. If you dare to have an objection, I will let them have no objection immediately."
Qin Feng laughed: "You are still the same as before. In the reform of the Ministry of War, I mainly want to divide the local security forces from you and hand them over to the Ministry of Justice for management. In the future, you will only focus on the training of the active main combat troops and militia reserves. What do you think?"
"For us, there is naturally no problem, but the total number of local security forces is also quite large. The Ministry of Justice does not have such experience. Can they do this well?"
