The night breeze was slightly cool, and Ma Xin, who had just finished eating and drinking, hummed a minor tune and walked on the way back to the camp, and when he entered the camp, the two guards guarding the camp gate saluted him.

"I've seen the Commander."

"Hmm."

Lazily raised his hand and saluted back, Ma Xin continued to hum the tune, but when he entered the camp, his face changed slightly, and he turned around to leave, when a voice sounded behind him.

"Horse Command."

The body froze, and when Ma Xin turned around, a warm smile appeared on his face.

"Yo, when did Political Commissar Ge come back, didn't you go to Beijing to further your studies at the Political Academy of the General Staff?"

"If I don't come back, will the Nanjing garrison still look like an army?"

Ge Lei walked towards Ma Xin with a cold face, and when he got closer, his nose moved, and his face became even more ugly: "Commander Ma is drinking?" ”

"Ahem, enter the camp and say."

There was no way to avoid it, Ma Xin had no choice but to pull Ge Lei into his barracks, and as soon as he entered the house, he hurriedly locked the door and laughed: "When I met a few fellow villagers, I really couldn't turn around and have a few drinks, and I laughed." ”

"Today isn't a special holiday for a month."

Sitting on the chair in Ma Xin's room, Ge Lei's waist was straight, and his eyes were full of dissatisfaction when he looked at Ma Xin: "Non-holiday soldiers are not allowed to drink, and it seems that Commander Ma has forgotten this discipline, and yes, you have committed so many military disciplines, so you don't care about this drinking." ”

Anyone who is scolded like this will not feel good directly on his face, Ma Xin is also the commander of the Nanjing garrison, and his subordinates lead 10,000 fully armed and extremely elite troops, so naturally they also have a little bit of their own arrogance, plus after drinking wine, their faces are even more embarrassed.

"Political Commissar Ge has something to say directly, what kind of military discipline has Ben committed?"

————

Seeing that Ma Xin didn't admit it, Ge Lei sneered, stood up and looked at Ma Xin condescendingly, and asked: "You made it up for the whole army to sign a petition to boycott the cabinet petition on rectifying the relevant military affairs of the Fifth Military Government, Ma Xin, what are you going to do!" ”

In the end, Ge Lei's voice became higher and higher, and he slapped the table and pointed at Ma Xin's nose: "The first article of military regulations and military discipline is that soldiers should fulfill their duties and obey orders, and they are never allowed to interfere in local government affairs."

If there is any decision of the Central Committee, we just need to obey it, you are implicating the military in politics, its heart can be punished, its crimes are unforgivable, and you have the face to ask me here that you have violated that military discipline. ”

Seeing Ge Lei's posture, which was incompatible with himself, Ma Xin was really a little frightened, and the wine also woke up, and hurriedly bypassed the table and grabbed Ge Lei's forearm and smiled: "My brother Ge, my good brother, you dissipate your anger, dissipate your anger, don't I do this for the command of our generals across the country, the literati want to seize our power, and we can't watch it."

Besides, this matter is just the thought of our Nanjing Yiwei, Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and other five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, with Henan, the Central Plains Province, all the capitals and garrisons are all discussing, and they must protest en masse, and we must not let the cabinet take away the military power of our military attachés. ”

"It's the most ridiculous joke I've ever heard."

Ge Lei looked at Ma Xin coldly, sneering like a clown: "When did the cabinet take away our military power?" You are the commander of the Nanjing garrison, and you are under the leadership of the General Staff Office, what does it have to do with the military affairs restructuring of the Fifth Military Government?

Even if he is the commander of the Jiangsu Metropolitan Division, he is the one who regulates the Five Military Governments, and without the Five Military Offices, is it possible that the Yamen of Jiangsu's political envoy will dare to directly command the provincial government army of the Jiangsu Metropolitan Division?

How many years has the Central Committee emphasized the separation of military and political affairs, and how can the restructuring of the command system of local armies affect the military power commanded by generals?

I don't think you're worried about losing military power, but you're worried about losing the pension system of the Fifth Military Government. ”

What kind of existence is the Five Military Mansions, why did Zhu Yunwen want to be eliminated, while Xu Huizu and others strongly opposed it, and even thought that the generals in the world would support them?

The current Five Military Mansions are no longer the Five Military Mansions of the Ming Dynasty in the original time and space, so don't make a mistake about this.

Those who have a certain age may know such a unit, which is called the Central Advisory Committee.

The Fifth Military Government is now equivalent to the Central Advisory Committee of the Ming military.

As for the actual power, it has one more than the Central Advisory Committee to command and mobilize the local provincial army, and to collect highway tolls for the exclusive use of allowances.

These changes have been written before.

The Fifth Military Mansion is the place where the main general of the Ming army retires, for example, a soldier in the Northwest Theater, fought with the Muscovy, fought for decades, and was promoted to the commander-in-chief of Yipin.

Then he retires, and after retiring from active service, he will enter the Fifth Military Mansion and serve as the left or right governor of a certain prefecture in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, so that he can not only receive the Zhishi silver when he retired every year, but also receive the corresponding rank from the post of the Fifth Military Government, and can also give full play to the residual heat of the horses for decades and command the local army to do some tasks of clearing out bandits.

At the same time, because he held a high position in the Fifth Military Administration, his children and grandchildren could directly enter the Nanjing Military Academy (the lecture hall in the early stage of this book) to study and study, and after graduation, they would stay in the Fifth Military Government or be transferred to the regular army or local army as officers.

This is the so-called lineage of military nobility.

Therefore, the final stop of every senior general will go to the Fifth Military Mansion to hang up his idle post, and at the same time enjoy a happy life and take care of his children and grandchildren.

If there is no Fifth Military Office, then the same soldier, after a lifetime of fighting mixed with the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Theater, after retiring from active service, he is a retired old general, free at home to raise flowers and grass, and then returned to the people, of course, as a retiring marshal commander-in-chief, he can receive double copies of Zhishi silver from the treasury and Minglian every year.

I can have more than 10 million yuan, and I can buy dozens of houses in Beijing.

It's just that his children and grandchildren will not enjoy any privileges.

If you want to enter the Nanjing Military Academy, you have to pass the ability examination, and if you can't get in, you want to become an officer, then you have to join the army and fight in the army, relying entirely on your strength and meritorious service to killing the enemy.

This is why Xu Huizu and others are unwilling to give up the Five Military Mansions.

They are not for themselves, but for future generations.

That is, they want to be hereditary and prosperous forever with the country.

This kind of family is naturally infinitely loyal to the country, because only if the country is always strong, can their family always enjoy the happiness and be a parasite that lives on the body of a giant and sucks blood safely.

As I said before, if there was no Zhu Wenqi, Zhu Yunwen would never touch this piece.

Absolutely not!

One generation will never be able to do this, and it will only plunge the country into endless trouble.

And now Ge Lei directly said the words to Ma Xin's face, which is to make it clear: "You are just worried that you will lose the peace of mind of the Fifth Military Mansion, and when you retire from the army in the future, you will not have a good place to settle down, and you don't want to be a common man again."

Your Majesty once said, 'Each of us has gone up three generations, and our roots are ordinary people, and my grandfather was still begging to make a fortune back then.'"

Is it a shame to be a common man, if our officials look down on the people, then we have to kick out this kind of officials, and if our soldiers think the same way, then we must be even more vigilant, because the soldiers protect the people.

From the people, we must know how to return to the people, so that we can not forget our original intention, always remember to seek welfare for the people, and do a good job in leading the people to a prosperous and strong life. ’

Commander Ma, both of us are soldiers, or senior officers, you are the commander of the Nanjing garrison guard, you are a retired soldier, there are still nearly 600,000 yuan of Zhishi money a year, which people can enjoy the happiness of their old age like you!

Isn't it good to be a pure soldier, why do you still worry about things that you shouldn't be thinking about, and go against the central government. ”

Ma Xin's face was cloudy, and he said hard words for a long time.

"Anyway, the Five Military Mansions can't be without, otherwise, the world will become literati."

In the room, Ge Lei's face was already iron-blue.
