Chapter 458
"These proposals of yours can indeed effectively strengthen the control over the garrisons in various places, and can also better completely separate the local government and the army to ensure the independence of the army."
"However, in this way, the orders for the Great Qin's million-strong army will be issued from Xianyang City. If there is an emergency, will it affect the efficiency?"
Ying Zheng pondered for a long time before asking.
As the first emperor of Qin Dynasty, Yingzheng has been studying the idea of how to make the Great Qin pass on forever. The most important thing is how to ensure the control of the army.
After all, the military power is often the influence of the emperor. Only by firmly controlling the military power and making the army strong enough can we have the confidence to carry out the government orders and deter the vast territory and foreign enemies.
However, if the army were out of control, the civil strife would be enough to disintegrate any powerful empire, which was absolutely unacceptable to the first emperor.
That's why when Ying Yu proposed the Tweet Order, Ying Zheng agreed without hesitation, and dealt harshly with those who dared to make trouble.
The purpose is to avoid that after Ying Yu and Ying Zheng, the nobles of the Great Qin have too much influence on the army and escape from the emperor's control.
After that, Ying Yu proposed the separation of the military and the government, and the patriotic education in the military academy, which was in line with the wishes of the first emperor.
But after all, the territory of the Great Qin Dynasty is too large today, and some people in remote areas will inevitably have the thoughts of the sky high and the emperor far away. Once the supervision is negligent, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents.
Even if these civil strife can be extinguished at that time, it will cause irreparable losses to Daqin.
However, according to the proposal of some civil servants, it is not a proper way to gradually shift to emphasizing civil affairs and despising military affairs.
First of all, Great Qin started with the military title system, and the whole Great Qin benefited from this system. If it is suppressed excessively, it will easily cause a huge backlash.
And it will also make Daqin lose its admiration for martial arts. Relying on civil officials alone will never be able to suppress such a huge territory and the coveting of foreign enemies.
The first emperor was always troubled by this, until Ying Yu's new thinking gave Ying Zheng a new hope.
Although there may be fluctuations in the Qin army in the short term, the presence of Ying Yu and Ying Zheng, as well as reliable pillars of the army such as Wang Ben and Meng Tian, can ensure that there will be no major problems.
It only takes a period of transition, and Daqin's army will become more commanding and its combat effectiveness will be stronger.
However, Ying Zheng also saw the disadvantages, that is, all the troops were under the command of Xianyang City, and if the distance was too long, communication gaps would easily occur.
"The problem raised by the emperor is actually very simple to solve."
"That is to imitate the current Protectorate of the Western Regions and divide the entire Great Qin into several war zones."
"For example, the imperial war zone centered on Xianyang City, the southern theater centered on Kuaiji, the Persian theater centered on Persian County, and so on."
"These theaters belong to the Privy Council, and during the non-combat period, they are only responsible for the daily training and management of the troops in the jurisdiction, logistical support, training of reserve soldiers, battlefield drills and arrangements, etc.
"When entering a war, after obtaining the authorization of the emperor, the theater can mobilize the main force within the jurisdiction and the temporary planning to fight, and return it to the central government after the war is over."
"In this way, the emperor can flexibly adjust the troops under the jurisdiction of the theater and the scope of authority according to the situation facing the theater, and can better respond to the corresponding situation."
"Moreover, in a region, during the non-war period, there are local government, the internal guards under the jurisdiction of the theater, and the main army directly responsible to the imperial court. They can also restrain each other and better ensure local security."
Ying Yu said in a deep voice.
"This idea is good. In this way, it is indeed feasible to regularize and professionalize the army."
Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction.
According to Ying Yu's reform of the military system, the military region actually only has influence on the inner guard army during the non-war period, and is subject to more restrictions.
But in areas where combat is required, the emperor can temporarily grant authority and more command of the main army as needed, and these can be taken back after the war is over.
In this way, it is ensured that the military region will not become overwhelmed due to excessive power.
The existence of the military region also reduced the number of institutions under the direct control of the emperor and the Privy Council, making management smoother.
It can also further break away from the concept of regionalization and better implement the rotation system.
"If the emperor agrees, then the minister will organize these ideas into documents and bring them to the court to discuss with the ministers?"
Ying Yu smiled and said.
"There is no need to trouble yourself, I believe in your ability, and I will leave the military reform to you!"
"If there is any big move, just inform the relevant departments of the court in advance."
Ying Yu helplessly shook his head helplessly.
Brother Zheng really trusted him a lot. Such a big matter as military reform was actually left in his hands.
This kind of matter involving the adjustment of the army has a lot to do with it and is very cumbersome. It seems that the next period of time will be busy.
The most important thing is that this matter must not be left to others, not even Wang Jian, Wang Ben and others.
It's not that I don't trust these people, but that I absolutely can't make such an opening.
Military power must be firmly in the hands of the royal family.
This is not only to limit generals, but also to clearly set boundaries for civil servants.
Since ancient times, whenever civil servants get involved in the military and government, there will be a lot of mess.
Moreover, the civilian officials are in charge of the army and have too much power, so it is difficult to ensure that they do not have more thoughts.
The separation of military and government implemented by Ying Yu in the Great Qin Dynasty was to allow civil and military forces to restrain each other and supervise each other to form a balance that the emperor could control.
Because the foundation laid by Ying Yu as Daqin is enough to ensure an absolute lead over foreign lands, as long as there are no internal problems, it will definitely continue to lead.
What Ying Yu wants to do is not to make Da Qin eternal, because he knows that is impossible.
No matter how perfect the system is, flaws will appear as time goes by.
What he has to do now is to ensure the stability of Daqin for a hundred years!
Because of his self-confidence, after a hundred years, there will only be one Great Qin in the whole world, and even if the dynasty changes, the world will still belong to the people of China.
"I am already old, you are the prince, the future of Daqin depends entirely on you!"
Ying Zheng sighed with emotion, and patted Ying Yu on the shoulder hard, with an expression that I liked you very much.
Ying Yu couldn't help laughing.
With the continuous development of the Qin Dynasty, the painting style of the first emperor, the father, has also become quite different.
But what Zheng Ge said is also true.
As the Prince of Great Qin himself, he should contribute more.
Ying Zheng looked at Ying Yu with a smile. After being "pissed" by his son for so long, he finally came back after being "pissed" by his son. He felt really happy!
