Datong in the middle of the Ming Dynasty and Liaodong at the end of the Ming Dynasty were actually very similar.

How was the Datong problem solved?

It's just because although Datong is erosive, the border town next door is not rotten, and there are two famous generals next door, Zhou Shangwen and Liang Zhen. After killing all the sons of Ji Nang, he killed Altan Khan so that he did not dare to commit a crime.

Altan Khan has changed from the protagonist of a war blockbuster to the protagonist of a romance ethics drama, making a good show of "my daughter's daughter is my granddaughter-in-law, but I want to marry her as a wife". forced Sun Tzu to take his subordinates to the Ming Dynasty, Altan Khan agreed to worship the Ming Emperor as brothers, and the two sides agreed not to invade each other. This is the "I answer the tribute".

After I answered the tribute, the right-wing Mongolia suffered serious internal friction and was no longer able to organize a southward invasion, and the military pressure on Datong Town was instantly relieved.

Without external threats, how can the officers and soldiers of Datong jump?

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Liaodong problem could not be solved because of the existence of the Manchu Qing as an external threat. If there is a fierce man who is capable of overturning the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Liaodong military generals group will also have to be blinded, because they have lost their value of existence.

It's a pity that there were no fierce men like Zhou Shangwen and Liang Zhen in the late Ming Dynasty, and there was also a factor of geographical location. Next to Datong is Ningxia, Yansui, Xuanfu, Datong town is rotten next door is not rotten, and there happened to be two fierce people next door to hit Mongolia.

But there is no next door in Liaodong, and the guest army can only fight in Liaodong. No matter how awesome the macho man goes to Liaodong, he will only be pitted to death by friendly troops.

However, in this time and space, Liaodong already has a neighbor, that is, Daning recovered by Zhu Houzhao and Wang Yuan!

In the future, as long as Daning is not rotten, even if Liaodong is rotten, there will still be Daning officers and soldiers on top.

Xi Shu led his troops to beat the right-wing Mongols, and also captured the right-wing Mongol leaders alive. The right-wing Mongolia suddenly became infighting, and the two brothers, I Da and Lao Jiangdu, while annexing their brother's tribe, competed for the position of deputy khan, and at the same time were afraid that the Ming would put their brother back.

At least for two or three years, right-wing Mongolia will not go south again, and whoever dares to offend Bian Laozi will return your brother and stage a Mongolian version of "seizing the door"!

This can be regarded as a temporary solution to the external threat, and the officers and men of Datong have temporarily lost their value of existence, and Xi Shu can rectify the border affairs without any scruples.

At the same time as clearing the field, the number of troops was thoroughly cleaned up.

Flags, troops, houses, and remains, honestly distinguish clearly!

Flag, Tuntian troops.

Army, combat arms.

House, will be the school's children.

Yu, for every regular soldier, there should be a Yu Ding in the family, that is, "military surplus". Take care of the daily life of the regular soldiers, assist the regular soldiers in fighting during wartime, and also have money to buy military uniforms for the regular soldiers.

The banner and the army have long been in chaos, fighting wartime and plowing the fields in idle time.

When Xi Shu sorted out the number of soldiers, he stipulated that the "flag soldiers" could only farm in the future, and the "soldiers" could only fight wars in the future, and they should no longer be mixed up.

Then Xi Shu found that there were only more than 20,000 "soldiers" left in Datong Town, that is, only more than 20,000 combat troops in the guards.

Those who can really fight the war are all "battalion soldiers", which specifically refers to the recruitment of soldiers in society that does not belong to the guard system - this is very different from Liaodong in the late Ming Dynasty.

But the nonsense is that the generals of Datong recruited troops during the war and directly dismissed the army after the war.

The specific operation is as follows, and in the summer, it is necessary to quickly recruit troops in case of an autumn invasion by the Mongols. When winter came, the recruiting troops were immediately disbanded in order to save money on rations, leaving only a few basic troops.

The imperial court military records show that there have always been a large number of recruits, and rations and monthly rations have been distributed, which is a seasonal empty salary. In fact, even if they don't dismiss the recruited troops, they don't pay monthly rations, they only give rations, but the generals are so greedy that they even want to save that little ration.

In accordance with the status quo after the inventory, Xi Shu simply carried out the reform of "easy defense for the battalion" in an all-round way, that is, the system of the guard post was completely withdrawn from the Datong combat establishment.

Due to the special status of Datong Town, soon after the establishment of this town, it began to reform "Yiwei for the camp", which has been reformed for decades, otherwise Xi Shu really doesn't know how to start.

Under the auspices of Xi Shu, the soldiers of the Datong Guard Station will all go back to farming in the future, and all the combat units will be recruited.

Military households in the health center can also sign up to join the army, and all enjoy the treatment of recruitment.

Flagmen, canceled. Soldiers, canceled. Junyu, cancel!

Such an approach would lead to an exponential increase in military spending. The advantage is to improve the combat capability, reduce the exploitation of the soldiers by the generals as much as possible, and the financial consumption of corruption will drop exponentially, and the generals will only have to eat empty salaries for corruption in the future (logistics are not the responsibility of these generals, which is the source of oil and water for the officers of the capital).

In fact, the Jiajing Dynasty relied on central funding to maintain stability, and also achieved this kind of reform. By the end of Jiajing, Datong's banner soldiers and military remnants were no longer counted (they did not disappear, but they were dispensable to the imperial court, but the generals still continued to exploit them).

During the Jiajing period, it was a forced reform, and the specific operations were all in the hands of the generals, and the central government did not have the slightest initiative, which eventually brought a heavier burden.

Xi Shu took the initiative to reform, and suppressed the mutiny wherever he could, anyway, he just drove the Mongols away.

In the process of "Yi Wei as a camp", Xi Shu liberated more than 20,000 guards who had become serfs and domestic servants, and most of them were assigned to the military field to farm after clearing the fields.

From the twenty-second year of Zhengde to the twenty-fourth year of Zhengde, Xi Shu suppressed eight mutinies, during which he even suffered an assassination.

Anyway, when Xi Shu returned to the capital, he didn't dare to step into the Datong realm for half a step, and his last words also made his children and grandchildren not go to Datong.

……

Xi Shu defeated the Mongol cavalry at Baishan Mountain, which was in October.

Let's bring the time back.

In the spring, Yao Yi, the governor of Liangguang, commanded 100,000 troops and defeated the Tusi rebels in Guangxi. Only two months later, the Tusi rebels made a comeback, and one-fifth of Guangxi's territory was occupied by the rebels.

Historically, this rebellion was really unmanageable, and Jiajing could only use Wang Yangming. Wang Yangming led his troops there, but before the battle was fought, the rebels were intimidated by their prestige, and two leaders surrendered directly. Then, Wang Yang clearly showed that the enemy was weak, deliberately relaxed his troops, and as soon as the Huguang reinforcements arrived, he immediately launched a full-scale attack, and the rebels broke and fled to the mountains. Wang Yangming broke through one by one, and finally wiped out the main force of the rebels.

Wang Yuan didn't dare to let the teacher go to Guangxi to suppress bandits, because Wang Yangming's lung disease recurred, and this situation would definitely reduce his life expectancy in Guangxi.

Wang Yangming in history was sick and put down the chaos, the rebellion was quelled, his illness worsened, and he died of illness on the way back.

Wang Yangming can't go, so what can I do?

There is no commander of the army and Wenchen available!

Yao Yi was already a first-class civilian official, and he suppressed for two or three years, but the rebels were more and more suppressed.

"Erlang, Guangxi is in turmoil, do you have anyone to recommend?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

Wang Yuan asked rhetorically: "Is there no one to recommend in Yang Ge's old entrainment?" ”

Zhu Houzhao sneered: "Yao Yi was recommended by him, and he led the troops for two or three years, but the rebels became more numerous. ”

Wang Yuan said: "Mentor Yang Ming Gong will definitely be able to calm down this chaos, but Yang Ming Gong's lung disease will recur. His Majesty has a lung disease, and Yang Ming Gong is also a lung disease, so it can be known that this disease needs to be recuperated. ”

Zhu Houzhao sighed: "Yes, this lung disease is very uncomfortable, and your teacher really can't go." ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Yang Ming Gong recommended one person in the letter, and Jian Su Gong (Lin Jun) also recommended one person, and the two of them recommended the same person. ”

"Who?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

Wang Yuan said: "Lin Fu, the political envoy of Guangdong. ”

Zhu Houzhao shook his head and said, "I don't have an impression." ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Yao Yi quelled the chaos in Guangxi, and specially brought Lin Fu, the political envoy of Guangdong, over, which shows that Yao Yi also believes in Lin Fu very much. Now, Lin Fu is listening to Yao Yi's account. ”

Zhu Houzhao was puzzled: "Since Lin Fu is assisting Yao Yi to quell the chaos, the two of them together are incompetent, how can it be said that Lin Fu can solve this matter alone?" ”

Wang Yuan said: "Sometimes one person is more convenient than two people for such a thing as quelling chaos and fighting. Just transfer back Yao Yi and let Lin Fu command the troops, and the rebellion will naturally disappear. ”

"You said Yao Yi was dragging his feet?" Zhu Houzhao was surprised.

Wang Yuan nodded: "Exactly." ”

Yao Yi, a world-famous Qing official, a world-famous intellectual, but in the final analysis, he is a person in the clear stream. Guangxi rebellion, some cases are not easy to start, you have to find an iron-faced ruthless and ruthless person.

Lin Fu is Wang Yangming's cellmate, and they were all imprisoned for offending Liu Jin, and they are still locked up in the same cell. The two discussed the Book of Changes in prison and also discussed military affairs, and Wang Yangming greatly admired Lin Fu.

Lin Fu is still a junior of Lin Jun's clan, Lin Jun knows the soldiers, and Lin Fu also knows the soldiers.

Lin Fu is still an open sea faction, historically, Jiajing Dynasty is strict in the sea, Lin Fu took the initiative to ask for Francoji merchants to trade in Guangdong, so he was impeached by Wang Yangming's disciple Fang Xianfu to be dismissed.

Lin Fu is still a person who dares to offend people, he was a right-hand political envoy in Guangdong a few years ago. As soon as he took office, he met the gentry and destroyed the temple and secretly took possession of countless teradas. This is not Lin Fu's idle business at all, but Lin Fu has to intervene, and directly snatches the temple property and the temple field, and the temple property is taken to help the people.

As long as Yao Yi, who was in the way, was transferred back to the capital and his deputy Lin Fu was allowed to preside over the rebellion, the Guangxi rebels would definitely be arranged clearly.

Alas, there are people available in Guangxi to quell the turmoil, but the border areas of Guangxi, Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Huguang are full of rebel troops in the mountains, and there is no way to free up troops to clear them.

There is also Shandong, where the thieves have been making trouble for two years, and some time ago they finally completely subsided.

Then, Henan made a fuss again......

There were human disasters, but the direct cause was natural disasters, the last straw that broke the camel's back.

In recent years, although the temperature has been warming, it has been followed by a large-scale drought across the country, and it has been a large-scale drought for several consecutive years.

As the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, such disasters are frequent, Wang Yuan should impeach himself and resign according to normal operations.

But Wang Yuan not only resigned, but even the sacrifice was only done once. He said that instead of sacrificing to ask the gods for rain, it is better to save the cost of the sacrifice and use it all to help the disaster in various places.

The official found a reason for impeachment again, accusing Wang Yuan of ineffective sacrifice, and it seemed that it was because he offended God that it didn't rain.

After being captured, most of the Shandong thieves were exiled to Daning Shibian, and a thousand people were loaded onto ships and shipped to North America for colonization.

The king of the Inca Empire died, the country was divided in two, and the two princes were engaged in a civil war.

Spain supported the eldest prince, Vascal, who was the rightful heir.

Zhu Hai supported the second prince Kapak, because the second prince lived in the north with the old king all the year round. The Daming fleet has been negotiating with the old king, and has communicated more with the second prince, and has never seen what the eldest prince looks like.

At present, the two princes are still fighting by themselves, and neither Daming nor Spain directly attacked, but each provided iron weapons to help them arm the guards directly under them.

Iron tools, naturally, need real money to exchange.

Zhu Hai had already become an arms dealer, and because Wang Yuan banned the export of iron weapons, he also went to Beijing to get a special license.
