In ancient dynasties, the struggle for power has always been the focus of much attention in society. We will delve through the fog of time and delve into the power struggle between the Minister of the Guard, the Commander of the Military Department, and the Admiral of the Nine Gates, revealing the mystery of this power game. It is a fascinating contest with far-reaching social implications and inherent mysteries in the operation of power.
Chapter 1: The Minister of the Guards who protects the imperial power.
The Minister of the Guard, as a close confidant of the emperor, played an important role in defending the imperial power. They were of high status and powerful power, and had direct contact with the emperor to make suggestions for domestic and foreign affairs. They surpassed ordinary civil officials, not only the emperor's advisers, but also the emperor's confidants.
Chapter 2: The Book of the Military Department, which holds the military power.
As the supreme leader of the military organization, the military department Shangshu holds the leading power of the army. They were responsible for military organization, establishment, equipment, and training, and reported the military situation to the emperor. The status and power of the military department made them highly regarded in the military and a key figure in the military field.
Chapter 3: The Admiral of the Nine Gates who guards the frontier.
Admiral Jiumen, as the supreme military commander of the border region, shoulders the responsibility of defending ***. They command the border guards and are responsible for patrolling and guarding the borders to deal with the threat of foreign enemies. Admirals of the Nine Gates enjoyed high prestige in the military sphere and at the same time played a key role in the stability and territorial integrity of the country.
The Qing Dynasty Military Department was established in the fifth year of Tiancong and was the fourth department among the six departments. According to the conventional saying, the six departments are officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, so the military department is roughly in the fourth place and belongs to civilian officials. The grade of the military department was upgraded from the second grade to the first grade during the Yongzheng period, second only to the cabinet scholars. The secretary of the military department is one of the nine secretaries and participates in major national decisions. The Ministry of War is similar to the current Ministry of National Defense, and its chief is the Secretary of the Ministry of War, who is responsible for the selection of military attachés, the establishment of troops, weapons and equipment, and military orders.
However, although the military department was nominally responsible for the affairs of the state, in practice did not have the power to mobilize the army. In the unspoken rules implemented in the Qing Dynasty, among the ministers who entered the cabinet to worship the prime minister or walked in the military aircraft, there were few military department scholars. Even if they are promoted, they are more likely to be transferred to the Ministry of Officials, Households, or Rites to serve as a secretary, so that they can have a chance to enter the Cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department.
On the whole, the personnel power of the military department secretary in peacetime is more important than the military power of the commander of the nine gates. The Ministry of War manages the promotion, demotion, and transfer of military attachés, which is essential for maintaining social stability. Although the military department did not have military power in wartime, its personnel power played a vital role in maintaining the stability of the army and the army.
Conclusion: The struggle for power.
In this power game, the Minister of the Guard, the Secretary of the Military Department, and the Admiral of the Nine Gates each played an indispensable role. Their positions and powers mingle with each other and check and balance each other, forming a complex and ingenious power structure. This power struggle not only reflects the ancient political ecology, but also reveals the profound internal laws of power operation.
