The reform of the Son of Heaven and the army is really a major event that affects the whole body.

For example, the Tiger Benwei, the most combat-effective unit in the Beijing army, not only has the most elite soldiers from all over the country continue to enter, but also has the best equipment, food, and treatment.

But this army, from 70,000 at its peak, has only 20,000 now.

Terrible!

When Zhengde was expanding the new army for Yulin Wei before, he found a bunch of soldiers who had experience in the army, and if these people hadn't run away from the Beijing military guard or the local guard station, no one would believe it.

The root of the matter is still hoarding.

Originally, when Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, he wanted to save military salaries...... In fact, he had no money to pay for his military salary.

He came up with a clever trick to feed an army of millions without having to pay a penny.

Tuntian!

Therefore, all the soldiers and horses in the world have allocated territory, and they are cultivating and training at the same time.

But there is a key factor here, and it is hereditary!

The son of the commander is still the commander; The son of a creep, still a creep.

When the Tumubao incident ended, everyone had no hope.

After Xianzong took the lead in building Huangzhuang and annexed a wave of land, everyone followed suit one after another.

Naturally, the heads of the guards refused to be left behind, and they had a bunch of means to exploit the big-headed soldiers. So, when the land continued to be collected by a small number of people, the combat effectiveness of the guard station declined, and the deserters began.

In the coastal guard station, tens of thousands of military guards can't defeat hundreds of Japanese guards, and this is the reason.

As for these deserters, some fled into the deep mountains and old forests, some starved to death, and some were chased back and cut in two!

It is the head that is broken.

As for the land, it became the private property of the heads of the various battalions.

Therefore, Emperor Zhengde was not worried that the soldiers would mutiny.

For example, when Yu Linwei took over, he only deprived the commander Lin Qiang and a few brains of the benefits, but the big-headed soldiers benefited from this.

But the change to be prevented is also here.

In case, a certain commander coerced the big head of the soldiers, regardless of the unrest...... There is more than one person who watches Emperor Zhengde's jokes!

For example, some guys in the south who have been coveting that chair, and the grassland.

Don't look at Batu Munch, he didn't dare to come to Emperor Zhengde openly, but as long as there was turmoil in the Central Plains, he promised to be the first to gather under the Great Wall under the banner of caring for old friends.

At the very least, what Hetao Plain, Red Mountain, Ordos, and Bauktu, Dayan Khan will happily put in his pocket.

It doesn't take a long time!

Therefore, Emperor Zhengde instructed, "Given that the Wugong Guard, the Tiger Ben Guard, and the Jin Wuwei are the teams with the largest number of people, the most fields, and the strongest combat effectiveness in the army of the Son of Heaven." ”

"Therefore, this restructuring starts with this three guards."

Zhang Poyu restrained his thoughts of joking with his father, and said worriedly, "Your Majesty, I'm not worried about the mutiny of the soldiers, to be honest, Your Majesty's benevolent policies over the years, such as the improvement of the lives of horse farmers, really make these guys drool......"

"I'm worried that these guys will inevitably be deeply entangled with the court and various places. Just talking about reclaiming land is a big trouble! ”

Xue Han also nodded, his worries were exactly the same as Zhang Poyu's.

These lands would be fine if they were in the hands of these big soldiers...... But the reality is that it has been sold for seventy-seven eighty-eight.

In other words, these lands are now in the hands of nobles, relatives, royal relatives, gentry, landlords, etc.

If it is a small wave of land, these people will not feel heartache even if they spit it out.

However, the area of these lands is too large.

The whole area around Gyeonggi, southwest to Xuanfu, south to Jinan, east to Shanhaiguan, north to Jizhou Town, are all the Tuntian range of the Beijing army.

Can ...... now Just by looking at the estates built in these places, you know how serious the situation is!

For example, the princes of the Chengguo, the Zhang Poyu's family, several princesses, several relatives, and dozens of gentry......

If you move these people's cheese, is it shaking the country's foundation?

Needless to say, it will be shaken!

Emperor Zhengde wants to move!

Let these guys encroach on the land, in addition to making these guys rich, what will be the benefit?

The reason why the national strength of the Ming Dynasty fell rapidly, or the reason why the Han, Tang, Song and other dynasties were only three hundred years old, is also the fundamental reason.

A small number of people have all the resources, so that the vast majority of people have no hope of life, what will happen to the small people?

Rebellion, of course! Overturn this dog emperor!

Another example, how did Chongzhen die?

Even if he hanged himself from the crooked-necked tree, no one would lend him money.

This example made Emperor Zhengde feel uneasy, he saw through the greed of human nature, how could he not hold the land in his own hands.

At least, in his hands, he can treat the small people well, whether it is tax exemption, tax reduction, or water conservancy, grain distribution, help small farmers repair houses, build bridges and roads, can stabilize the people's hearts.

Even if the land ownership is not owned by the small people, he only needs to ensure that these small people, no matter how many cubs you have, I can let your descendants have land to cultivate, so that these small farmers can have surplus food.

In this way, the basic stability is as stable as Mount Tai!

Even if the whole world is against him, these small people will not oppose him! Even, these small people on the basic plate will become his most loyal source of soldiers.

Then it was possible for him to take the next step, to expand his handicraft industry and start trading.

At the same time, after the Ming Dynasty has a strong army, it can exchange all the resources for development through the dumping of goods.

For example, Southeast Asia has the most important thing for industrialization, rubber trees!

Like, there's something somewhere called liquid gold! For another example, after having these, the Ming Dynasty has sufficient land resources before it has the ability to conquer the sea.

Compared to the mainland, the resources of the ocean are extremely rich!

Just one ocean trade is enough to feed the entire Ming bureaucracy!

Therefore, he not only wants these lands back, but also hangs these lands in the Huangzhuang!

To put it bluntly, as long as the land was in the hands of small peasants, it was guaranteed that the gentry would have countless ways to force people to sell their children. With a single turn, the land became the private property of the gentry.

Emperor Zhengde's mind is that Lao Tzu doesn't play any private property with you, all of it will become domestic, and it will be up to you to rob me!

As long as the people have food to eat, and no one accompanies you to rebel, what am I afraid of?

Zhang Poyu's blood was boiling, Xue Han's eyes were shining, and Wang Zhen was silent but there was also a stirring atmosphere.

They were all stunned by the prospect described by Emperor Zhengde!

Everyone clenched their fists and said one after another, Your Majesty, let's do it!

Do it to do it!

But you can't just do it!

The preparation should be more detailed.

Emperor Zhengde remained silent, while ordering Zhang Jun to lead the border army to be on call at any time, and on the other hand, ordering the British Gong Zhang Mao to settle in the Shenji Battalion, and at the same time quietly mobilized the Yulin Wei Zhongjun and Teng Xiangwei.

Jinyiwei is all dispatched.

Then, the heads and brains of Jin Wuwei, Hu Benwei, and Wugong Wei were all mobilized to the campus of the Shenji Battalion.
