MTL - I-Chapter 1003 999 [King Seal]

  Chapter 1003 999【King】

  The generals returned triumphantly from the north, and the reform of the military system officially began.

  The four general titles of Hussar, Dragon and Tiger, Zhen Guo, and Ding Guo were removed by Zhao Han from the ranks of military officers, and other titles were chosen to replace them.

  The Central Governor’s Mansion set up the number of special generals, from high to low: Hushi, Cheqi, Longhu, Zhenguo, Dingguo, and Fubo six generals, all of whom are first-rank military officers.

  Fei Ruhe was recalled to Nanjing and awarded the title of Hussar General.

  Zhang Tieniu was recalled to Nanjing and was awarded the title of Grand General of Car Riders.

  Huang Yao was recalled to Nanjing and awarded the title of General Dragon and Tiger.

  Li Zheng was recalled to Nanjing and was named General of the Zhenguo.

  Fei Yinggong was recalled to Nanjing and was named General Dingguo.

  Gu Jianshan was recalled to Nanjing and awarded General Fubo.

   These six people are in charge of the affairs of the Dudu Mansion, headed by Fei Ruhe, each with their own emphasis on specific jurisdiction.

  The earliest batch of Conglong Xunchen were all the commanders of the Sixth Army, somewhat similar to the commanders of the theater.

  Jiang Dashan served as the governor of the Chinese army and was stationed in Nanjing.

  Huang Shun, served as the governor of the rear army, stationed in Beijing.

  Hu Dinggui, served as the governor of the left army, stationed in Shenyang.

  Jiang Liang served as the governor of the Right Army and was stationed in Xi'an.

  Ding Jiasheng, served as the former military governor, stationed in Kunming.

  Fan Chao, served as the governor of the navy, stationed in Guangzhou.

  Under the six major governors, there will be left and right governors, all of whom will be served by veterans, in charge of local theater affairs.

  These veterans vacate their seats, so that more generals can be promoted to serve as general guards, division commanders, etc. For example, Cao Bianjiao and Li Dingguo were promoted to the chief guards, and there were even four division commanders who graduated from the military academy (all came from short-term training courses, such as Qin Liangyu's grandson Ma Wannian).

  The local troops were also dispatched and changed defenses, and the strength of the troops in various regions became more even, with only a little emphasis on the border areas. Unlike before, there were very few troops in the south, and a large number of troops were pressing on the northern border.

  The patrolling and inspection armed police forces in each province were completely separated from the Dudu Mansion and integrated into the local command department system, specializing in suppressing bandits, anti-smuggling, and disaster relief.

  If there is any chaos in the local area, the command envoys of each province will first bring patrol soldiers to wipe it out. If the chaos is too big to be quelled, they will apply for the dispatch of regular soldiers from the major theaters.

  In case of emergency, the commander-in-chief of the war zone can dispatch patrol soldiers nearby. If large-scale mobilization of inspection troops is required, the theater must consult the central government and obtain permission from the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion.

  The urban police system is changed to an administrative unit, which is managed by local civil servants. In the event of an enemy attacking the city, the police must be temporarily assigned to the command of the army. In counties and counties where there is no garrison, the police must be urgently incorporated into the patrol inspection armed police system.

  Rural peasants and soldiers, once again reduced in size, belong to the military system, and the training department of the Central Governor's Mansion has training institutions in various provinces. It is not only responsible for recruiting and training recruits from farmers and soldiers, but also liaising with other departments to implement the resettlement of veterans.

  All factories that have anything to do with the military are completely stripped from the Ministry of Industry and placed under the management of the Logistics and Equipment Departments of the Dudufu.

  The Ministry of War has the Qing Army Division, which regularly dispatches Qing military envoys to inspect the violations of the army and military factories.

  …

   "King?"

  Fei Ruhe and Zhang Tieniu had just returned to Nanjing when they met a pedestrian sent by the emperor.

  The passer-by laughed and said, "Two generals, please go home to bathe and fast for three days. After three days, the imperial edict will arrive."

  Fei Ruhe took out a military ticket with a face value of 10 yuan: "Thank you for the good news!"

  Zhang Tieniu also hurriedly took out the money, and the pedestrian took it. This is a red envelope for good news, which is illegal according to the rules, but the officials have already dared to accept it, and no one will come to check as long as the amount is not large.

  The embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant nest, and corruption can never be eliminated.

  Seeing off the pedestrians, Fei Ruhe smiled wryly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to command troops to fight in the future."

Zhang Tieniu was cheerful: "If you don't command the army, you won't be unified. Looking at the borders, who is the opponent of the Datong Army? The future wars will be similar to these expeditions to Mobei. Either keep chasing the enemy, or win all at once. What's the point of fighting? Hey, my old Zhang will be a prince one day."

  Three days later, the imperial edict was promulgated.

  Fei Ruhe was named King of Yongping, and Zhang Tieniu was named King of Hejian.

  The two princes will no longer command operations in the future, and the civil servants are also relieved to make friends. In the next half month, the Second Prince's mansion was full of visitors, but Fei Ruhe and Zhang Tieniu became more and more cautious. They were willing to receive anyone who came, but they would not accept any gifts.

   In Emperor Zhao's place, there is no such thing as self-defilement!

  The topic of conferring the king didn't last long. The prefect of Peking sent people to Beijing, and people's attention was diverted there.

  In February this year, a meteor exploded over Beijing, four meteorites fell into the city, and seven meteorites fell outside the city. Historically, this was the second year of Kangxi, and Kangxi's mother had just died nine days ago, so it was said that it was related to the death of the Queen Mother.

   But it’s different now, because Beijing is not the capital, and the political significance of meteorites is not that great.

  In fact, as early as twelve years ago, a meteorite fell on Beijing.

  At that time, the Planetarium of Qintianyuan explained that the meteorite fell on the old capital of the former dynasty, which represented the complete end of the Ming Dynasty, and the Datong country and society became more stable.

   So, what the **** is the second falling meteor now?

  The prefect of Beiping also picked up the meteorites. Eleven meteorites fell to the ground, and a total of nine were found. One smashed the roof of a private house and fell on the bedside of the people, almost killing them.

   Chaohui.

  Today's topic is the Beijing Meteorite.

   "This thing won't emit radiation, right?" Zhao Han stared at the meteorite, but others couldn't understand what he was talking about.

  The nine meteorites are all small in size, and it is not clear what type they are.

The current curator of Qintianyuan Planetarium is Xue Fengzuo. In another time and space, he majored in Lu Wang Xinxue when he was young, and became a mathematician and astronomer from a missionary in his middle age. It was compiled into "Siku Quanshu".

   In this time and space, Xue Fengzuo entered Qintian Academy more than ten years ago and has been engaged in astronomical research.

And he can be the curator of astronomy, but it is due to mathematical research... This gentleman, like Titius, discovered a certain number sequence, which is similar to the distance between the planets and the sun, so it is speculated that there is an undiscovered star between Mars and Jupiter. planet.

   Well, in fact, this is just a coincidence, without any scientific significance.

   But Zhao Han didn't understand astronomy, and astronomers at this time all recognized Xue Fengzuo's "great discovery", so Xue Fengzuo gained a great reputation.

  Xue Fengzuo said: "Your Majesty, just before the great victory in Mobei, a meteorite fell to the ground in Beijing. This day celebrates the great military power of our Datong Dynasty!"

  Zhao Han asked back: "Do you believe what you said?"

   "Well... I'd rather believe it." Of course Xue Fengzuo didn't believe it, he didn't work as astronomy curator for nothing.

  Zhao Han asked: "How do you think the meteorite came from? Tell the truth."

Xue Fengzuo bit the bullet and said: "I guess, apart from the stars, there are many sundries in the sky. These sundries are so small that they can't even be seen with a telescope. They usually move, and they are caught by the gravity of the earth accidentally, and they fly very fast." fell to the ground."

   "Continue." Zhao Han smiled.

Xue Fengzuo said: "I have seen shooting stars at night. The light of the shooting stars should be caused by friction with the air. Just like a knife chopping a stone, it will also hit sparks. The speed of the shooting star is very fast, and it is constantly rubbing against the air. Just start a fire and burn yourself. When it falls to the ground, it is only the size of an egg, and this is the meteorite we saw."

   Most of the civil and military ministers who participated in the court meeting were like listening to the scriptures, and they didn't understand any air friction.

   Seeing the emperor smiling, it was inconvenient for them to refute. If you talk nonsense, firstly, it will make the emperor unhappy, and secondly, you will appear ignorant.

  Zhao Han nodded and said: "Tell the ministers, what has been discovered in the planetarium recently?"

Xue Fengzuo said: "There was a scholar named Galileo in Taixi. He discovered that Jupiter has four satellites. The moon is the satellite of the earth. If Jupiter is inhabited, it is equivalent to seeing four moons. These four satellites of Jupiter are being seen in planetariums one after another. Observations, all have been found this year.”

   "Jupiter has more than four satellites, right?" Zhao Han asked.

   "Maybe there are more," Xue Fengzuo said, "Maybe the telescope can't see clearly. When better telescopes are made, more satellites can be observed."

  Zhao Han asked again: "Are there any other achievements?"

Xue Fengzuo said: "Last year, a brand new star map was compiled, which is also the most complete star map in ancient and modern China and abroad. The lunar distance table was perfected four years ago. According to this lunar distance table, ocean-going ships can measure their own location within a few hours." latitude and longitude. Seven years ago, the Planetarium formulated the most complete model of the solar system, combined with the results of the European scholar Kepler, and worked with the Physics Museum to determine the laws of planetary movement. There are also other small achievements, such as the ebb and flow of the tide, and the Planetarium colleagues are unanimous It is believed that it is caused by the gravitational pull of the sun and moon."

Wu Chaogui, the right servant of the household department, couldn't help but said: "I have read Ge Hong's "Baopuzi" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and I have also read "The Theory of Things" by Yang Quan of the Three Kingdoms. They all said that the tide is caused by the moon. I am afraid this is not yours. A new discovery from the planetarium?"

Xue Fengzuo explained: "The Song Dynasty has drawn an accurate tide table, but the ancients can only guess its principle, but today people can explain the origin and process of the tide. The planetarium has formulated an elliptical model of the tide to measure the more precise tidal movement. law."

  Speaking, Xue Fengzuo cupped his hands and said: "Many researches on astronomical phenomena rely on the universal gravitation proposed by His Majesty."

  In an instant, no one spoke anymore. This is the theory put forward by the emperor and the results of various scientific researches. To oppose the planetarium is to oppose the emperor himself!

Zhao Han said to the ministers: "It's still the same as Confucius said, respect ghosts and gods and stay away. The illusory ghosts and gods, the illusory will of God, can be believed and respected, but they must not interfere with our work. The prefect of Beiping collects meteorites and sends people to send If you come to Nanjing, you can get a small credit. But it’s not from me to get the credit, but to give the meteorite to the Qintian Institute for research. In the future, there will be meteors, earthquakes, etc., don’t talk about disasters and disturb the government.”

   "Your Majesty is wise!" All the ministers shouted in unison.

  Zhang Tieniu yawned when he heard that, this prince is not easy to play with, he might as well lead the army in the north.
