Today is Qin Hu's first day at work at the Ministry of War.

There were six divisions in the Yu Dynasty, each with four divisions, for a total of twenty-four divisions. There was one minister and two ministers, and Qin Hu currently serves as the left minister.

The right minister is Xin Shixiong, a close confidant of Yu Shiji.

The four departments of the Ministry of War are the Treasury Department, which is responsible for manufacturing and supplying weapons and armor, the Ministry of War, which is responsible for raising horses and manufacturing chariots, the Driving Department, which is responsible for military attache selection, assessment, merit reporting, and welfare, and the Ministry of War, which is responsible for drawing.

Map, management of beacon towers and fortresses.

The left and right ministers are in charge of two departments respectively.

Qin Hu was assigned to the Treasury Department and the Jiabu Department, because obviously these two departments have no real power. Most of the power of the entire Ministry of War is concentrated in the Department of War and the Department of Staff, especially the Department of War, which has direct military attaches below the sixth rank.

The power of appointment and removal.

Although officials of fifth rank and above must report to the three provinces for adjudication, the Ministry of War still has the right to give priority to the selection. Even the emperor must consider the opinions of the Ministry of War first, because the assessment procedures for military attaches and the identification of merit books are all completed by their investigation.

, it’s okay if you don’t listen to him.

The Staff Division manages various fortresses and beacon towers. Under normal circumstances, the military officers below the sixth rank in these places are not large, but their power is not small, and they are crucial. Once wartime enters, these people will become the reliance of the imperial court.

, is also a very important department.

In order to seize power, Yu Shiji would not allow Qin Hu to have access to these two core departments.

In Yu Shiji's view, the Treasury Department and the Driving Department are just that. The Minister of War may sound nice, but they have no power at all. The two departments they are in charge of are at best equivalent to relatively large ones.

Warehouse Manager.

Because these two companies do not produce any equipment, they are just transporters of equipment.

When the imperial court wants weapons and armor, the Treasury Department will give them to Weiwei Temple and Ordnance Supervision. These two units, which are nominally at the same level as the Ministry of War, are the real people doing the work. Once they are finished, the Ministry of War will

At most, it can only be passed through and then placed in a warehouse for maintenance.

Then when someone comes to collect it, and then continue to distribute it, there is basically nothing to take away from people. People come to collect things with receipts, can you not give them to them?

As for the war horses and chariots, that is the matter of Taipu Temple, and the responsibilities of the Department of Driving are the same as above. To sum up, Xin Shixiong is in charge of personnel in the Ministry of War, while Qin Hu is in charge of equipment.

However, Qin Hu didn't have any objections, because he was trying to build a batch of powerful equipment. Last month, Zhang Xutuo and others sent him a letter saying that they needed to add some spears, crossbows, arrows, and chariots, but the report

After arriving at the Ministry of War, they were rejected on the grounds that these things were useless and they would not be approved.

In fact, Yu Shiji didn't know whether it was useful or not. He had only one reason for his opposition, because he knew that Zhang Xutuo, Gao Shida, Sun Xuanya, Dong Chun, and Qin Shubao were all Qin Hu's generals. As long as he was stuck,

, if they are not given additional equipment, they will not be able to win the battle.

Of course, he also knew that Qin Hu would definitely reverse this situation after he arrived at the Ministry of War, and he couldn't stop it, but no matter what, let's take it one day at a time. I'm just awkward with you, what's wrong?

Qin Hu really didn't understand the affairs of the Ministry of War. After reading a lot of data, he felt a little confused, so he brought Wen Tiren over today.

Wen Tiren used to be an old military official, and he was also responsible for Liu Yuanjin's weapons, equipment and horses, so Qin Hu arranged for him to have the identity of a meritorious officer, that is, a secretary.

Almost all the key positions in the Ministry of War were Yu Shiji's. The doctor in charge of the Jiabu Department was named Huo Shiju, whom Qin Hu didn't recognize. The man in charge of the Treasury Department was named Xiao Nan. This young man was the son of Liang Guogong Xiao Ju. In other words,

The current queen is Xiao Nan's aunt.

Royal relatives.

There are also two divisions, one of which is Yu Wensheng, Yu Wenhuaji's cousin.

The other one was named Yao Si. He heard that he had made great achievements in conquering Liao Dynasty and had just been transferred from the field army. However, some people said that he was a distant cousin of Yu Shiji.

In short, at first glance, it seems that none of these people, except Yu Wensheng, are of the same mind as Qin Hu.

But Qin Hu didn't think so. He had long been disappointed with the eldest cousin of the Yuwen family. Maybe Yu Wensheng wouldn't stand on his side. Anyway, let's give it a try.

What makes Qin Hu feel gratified is that the weapons inspection is now firmly in the hands of Yun Dingxing. This man is a die-hard member of Pei's party. He used to follow Yu Wenshu, but now he is following Pei Ju.

As for the person in charge of Taipu Temple, Taipu Temple Minister is Zheng Shanguo, and Taipu Temple Shaoqing is Lai Yuan. With these two people, Qin Hu thinks that Lai Yuan is likely to cooperate with him.

It's hard to say what Zheng Shanguo is. This person has always pursued a non-alignment policy and believes in Buddhism. He is basically a free cloud and wild crane in the court.

But he had Yang Shou's trust. If he hadn't been implicated by Fan Zigai, he would still be the minister of Dali Temple and would never come here to raise horses.

With the cooperation of Wen Tiren, Qin Hu checked a lot of reports, and finally they found the documents reported by Zhang Xutuo and others from the pile of reports. The general meaning was to ask the court to replenish war horses, and

I pressed several times in a row, but some were rejected, and some were never followed up at all.

Among these unsubscribed reports, one of them was sent with a six-hundred-mile express stamp. It arrived at the Ministry of War last night and has not been processed yet. This is a capital crime.

There is nothing wrong with the rejection, but if there is no follow-up, it will not work. Qin Hu just wanted to use it to impeach Yu Shiji, but was immediately stopped by Wen Tiren.

"Sir, this is a trap."

Qin Hu frowned: "What do you mean?"

Wen Tiren was surprised and said: "This is Zhang Xutuo's Hebei Six Hundred Miles Express that arrived yesterday. The post is the responsibility of the Department of Transportation of the Ministry of War. You should submit it to the Lord Shangshu, who will then send it to the Zuotong Administration Department.

"Yesterday you married a concubine at home, did you make it clear?"

"Oh, no, Huo Shiju knew that I was at work today, so he deliberately suppressed the six-hundred-mile express that arrived last night. If I hadn't seen it, it would have delayed the military flight. He wanted to put me to death."

Wen Tiren patted his forehead and said, "It's already a few hours too late to hand it over to Yu Shiji. It should be sent to the General Affairs Department overnight. The Emperor should have seen it when he went to court in the morning. What should we do now?"

At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside: "You bastard, I just received an urgent letter of 800 miles at the door, saying that there was an urgent letter of 600 miles sent to the Ministry of War last night. Why didn't I?

See, who dared to intercept the memorial of the border general?"
