Since it was going to involve the adjustment of the army, Du Qi explained it to everyone in detail. Then, the army would form a set of rules in the future and there would not be any big changes.
In fact, the reason why there were chaos in the past dynasties, such as the Han Dynasty, was because of the establishment of the Prefecture Overseer, which led to the local feudal lords becoming powerful. For example, the Tang Dynasty was overthrown because of the emergence of the Regional Commanders who held the military and political power.
As for the destruction of the other dynasties, it was not necessarily because of the army.
More often than not, it was because the emperor was muddle-headed and the courtiers rebelled.
Therefore, the army was not necessarily a big threat.
In Liu Zhengxi's mind, the army was a threat. After all, scholars naturally believed that "warlike people will die". Therefore, he felt that it was not suitable for the army to have too much power, and the generals in the army should be weakened.
Liu Zhengxi said seriously, "Your Majesty, the army is stationed everywhere. What if there is chaos in the local areas? If the army revolts, the consequences will be unimaginable. If the local areas can't control the army, then once the army is in chaos, it will be a terrible mess. "
Du Qi said, "Minister Liu, the army won't fall into chaos so easily."
Liu Zhengxi said, "But no matter what, since there is such a problem, we must eliminate the danger and nip the problem in the bud."
Du Qi said, "The army in the local areas must be set up. Only in this way can there be an army to suppress the chaos when there is chaos in the local areas. "
As soon as he said this, everyone knew Du Qi's attitude.
It was imperative to do so.
Liu Zhengxi also frowned.
Because he said so much, but Du Qi still insisted on strengthening the army.
Guo Xiaozheng suddenly said, "Your Majesty wants to strengthen the army and even let the army be stationed in the local areas. Then, Your Majesty, what are your thoughts? Please tell us, Your Majesty, so we can consider it. "
Du Qi said in a deep voice, "My initial plan for the division of the army is to set up eight military regions in the entire Great Xia, which will be stationed in different parts of the country."
Guo Xiaozheng asked, "Your Majesty, where are the eight military districts located?"
Du Qi said, "Now, with the Sovereign Capital as the center, the First Military Region will be established. It will be in charge of the various provinces north of the Sovereign Capital. In other words, the Jiantuo Province and other places will be under the First Army's jurisdiction."
"Set up a second military region in Nanzhu Province. It will be in charge of the provinces south of the Imperial Capital."
The so-called Nanzhu Road was, in fact, the region where the Zhe Luoqi Dynasty was located in the past.
These regions formed a Dao, with various states set up below it.
Du Qi continued, "Set up the Third Military Region in Gaochang Prefecture to be in charge of the stability of the Western Region's prefectures. Set up a fourth military region in Chang 'an to be responsible for the stability of the entire Guanlong region and even the entire northwestern region. "
"Set up the Fifth Military Region in Qianzhong Province, responsible for the stability of Shu, Qiandi, and Lingnan. Set up the Sixth Military Region in Jiangdu, responsible for the stability of the entire Jiangnan region. Set up the Seventh Military Region in Zhuo County, responsible for Henan Province, Hebei Province, and other northeastern regions."
Du Qi said, "As for the Eighth Army, it will be stationed in Liaodong Road."
Du Qi had considered the eight military regions.
On the way back from Chang 'an, Du Qi had been pondering. Originally, Du Qi had summoned his subordinates to discuss the arrangements. However, he did not expect the civil officials led by Liu Zhengxi to have such a big reaction.
Helpless, Du Qi could only make a decision.
Du Qi's gaze swept across everyone. He could see the worry on everyone's faces. In fact, most of the civil officials of this era had such apprehension. Therefore, when Du Qi arranged for the troops to be stationed in the prefectures, all of them were worried.
However, Du Qi was in no hurry. He said unhurriedly, "The establishment of the eight military regions is mainly to oversee the prefectures and assist the prefectures. However, the generals of the military regions will not be involved in the administration of the prefectures. "
After pausing for a moment, Du Qi continued, "The generals of the military regions will only be in charge of the training of the troops. The imperial court will be responsible for the adjustment of the generals. The departments in charge of this will be placed under the General Staff Headquarters. The General Staff Headquarters will be in charge of all military affairs. They will report directly to me and will report directly to me. "
"Your Majesty, you can't!"
Liu Zhengxi said directly.
He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it's fine to set up the military regions. The military affairs of the various military regions are also the imperial court's affairs. How can they be placed under the General Staff Headquarters? This matter is not appropriate! "
Guo Xiaozheng also said, "Your Majesty, I also feel that this is not appropriate."
Yuan Yin, Yi Fusheng, and the others all expressed their opinions.
However, Yu Deshui, the Vice Marshal, Jin Wuque, the Imperial Censor, and even Wang Ji, the Chancellor, and Zhang Jingping, the Supreme Court Chancellor, did not express their opinions.
Those who participated were all officials of the six departments.
Xia Xia had been established for many years. The current Xia Xia Six Departments could not be compared to the Xia Xia Six Departments of the past. The power and influence of the Six Tribes of the Xia Country was now incomparably great.
The entire operation of the Xia Xia had to go through the Six Departments.
Now that Du Qi wanted to separate the military and make it belong to the General Staff Headquarters, everyone was against it.
This involved the division of power and authority.
It was also a dispute between the civil and military officials.
When Du Qi saw Liu Zhengxi and the others, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. In fact, he had expected this situation. After all, when Xia Xia was fighting in the north and south, many things would be put on hold and many conflicts would not erupt. However, when the world was at peace, everything would change. The main conflict would change from an external conflict to an internal conflict.
This was a normal situation.
Du Qi said slowly, "Liu Zhengxi, you are against it. Then, why don't you tell me why you are against putting the affairs of the eight military regions under the General Staff Headquarters? "
Liu Zhengxi thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, this is a serious matter. If we put the affairs of the military regions under the General Staff Headquarters, I'm afraid it will cause too much power and influence."
Du Qi said, "Then, if we transfer the entire nation's personnel to the Ministry of Personnel, will it cause the Ministry of Personnel to have too much power and influence?"
At this time, Du Qi did not care about anything.
He directly retorted.
Liu Zhengxi smiled embarrassedly and said, "Your Majesty, how can this be compared?"
He actually did not want to argue with Du Qi. However, this involved the struggle between civil and military officials and whether civil officials could suppress military officials. Therefore, even if he knew that he would be targeted by Du Qi if he stood out against him, Liu Zhengxi still stood out. As the head of the Ministry of Personnel and the leader of the officials, Liu Zhengxi had to stand out. This was caused by his own position.
If he did not stand out to oppose, when the news spread, all the civil officials would think that Liu Zhengxi was afraid of military officials and did not know how to fight for the interests of the civil officials.
At that time, Liu Zhengxi would not be able to convince the public.
Du Qi stroked the small mustache under his chin and said slowly, "Why can't this be compared? On one hand, it is Xia Xia's military affairs. On the other hand, it is Xia Xia's official promotion examination and so on. Both are important matters of the nation and are extremely important. No matter which one is not done well, it will affect the stability of the imperial court. So, why can't we leave the military affairs to the General Staff Headquarters? "
Du Qi's arrangement was actually simplified.
It was to put the power and influence of the military under the General Staff Headquarters and then refine it in the General Staff Headquarters.
This arrangement was beneficial for the adjustment of the military.
After all, the General Staff Headquarters was independent of the civil official system and was only in charge of military affairs. Those who came from the military naturally valued the military, unlike civil officials who naturally looked down on the military.
This was Du Qi's starting point.
