About This Novel
This book uses a large number of official documents from the Qing Dynasty to provide a comprehensive review of the origin and evolution of the powers of the Military Aircraft Department, the central decision-making body of the Qing Dynasty. The book takes the changes in the official document operation procedures of the Qing court as the starting point, combines the evolution of the political situation and personnel changes in the Qing Dynasty, comprehensively examines the development of the Military Aircraft Department's powers, and makes an appropriate analysis of the status and role of the Military Aircraft Department in the central decision-making process of the Qing court in different historical periods. Through a comprehensive investigation of the functions and powers of the Military Aircraft Department, the book draws conclusions: (1) The Military Aircraft Department expanded its functions and powers from the original secret office of northwest military affairs to all confidential government affairs of the Qing court by assisting the emperor in handling memorials and title books, thereby establishing the Military Aircraft Department's position in the central decision-making system. (2) Most of the powers of the Military Aircraft Department are inherited from the Cabinet and the Council of Ministers. The power of the Military Aircraft Department to assist the emperor in handling this chapter was inherited from the Cabinet of Great Scholars, and the power of the Military Aircraft Minister to participate in the confidential government affairs of the Qing court was inherited from the Council of Imperial Ministers. (3) The exercise of the powers of the Military Aircraft Department was mostly affected by factors such as changes in the political situation and personnel changes. This was especially obvious in the late Qing Dynasty. This book's comprehensive study of the functions and powers of the Military Aircraft Department not only advances the academic community's understanding of the Military Aircraft Department itself, but is also of great significance to understanding the political activities of the Qing Dynasty.
