Chapter 652, People's Liberation Army Household
Liaodong, along with the imperial court's large-scale development of Liaodong, a large number of immigrants migrated from Guannai to Liaodong in an orderly manner, and began to reasonably distribute and spread throughout Liaodong.
At the same time, the military households in the eastern Liaodong region also began to cheer.
In a guard station, an official wearing a crimson robe read out the decree of the imperial court loudly in front of many military households: "The border troubles in Liaodong have been eliminated, there is no external trouble, all military households in Liaodong have been changed into peasant households, and they will be resettled on the spot, and the fields that originally belonged to the guard will be shared by the owners of the guard center." ”
The reform of the Ming military system is finally the turn of the eastern Liaoning region, which is tantamount to the sound of heaven for the Liaoning military households who have been looking forward to it for a long time.
With the restructuring of the military system, these military households have since separated from the military households and become peasant households in Liaodong, and the imperial court also divided all the fields that originally belonged to the military households equally among these people.
It is said that the original Liaodong general soldiers were imprisoned for colluding with the Jurchens and wantonly suppressing military households, and after the charges were confirmed, they would be beheaded after the autumn.
In the Liaodong region, there is no threat from the Jurchens or the threat of the grassland people, and the entire Liaodong has suddenly become extremely safe.
With the liberation of the military households, countless people offered the immortality of Emperor Hongzhi at home.
They are no longer dilapidated military households, they no longer have to be burdened by the status of military households, and they no longer have to endure the exploitation of those hundreds or thousands of households from now on.
They have their own fields, and they have a head in the day.
And as locals of Liaodong, they know too well the fertility and richness of the land of Liaodong.
There are endless fields here, and as long as you have the strength, you can cultivate as much as you want.
In the past, because of the threat of the Jurchens and the wanton intrusion from time to time, coupled with the restrictions of the military household system, they had to endure the exploitation of hundreds and thousands of households.
Although they are in a rich place like Liaodong, their life is indeed very hard.
However, although bitterness is bitterness, the land in Liaodong is fertile, at least there is no need to worry about food, and the imperial court never needs to transfer a grain of grain here.
Unlike the border towns in Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places, in order to maintain the expenses of the border troops in these places, they had to use salt to encourage merchants to transport grain here to meet military needs.
But Liaodong is different, there is no need to transport grain from the Guannei, there is a lot of land here, it is very fertile, and the military households are enough to be self-sufficient.
"Finally~ we are finally no longer military households~"
"Our descendants can also go to study and take the entrance examination~"
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live~"
One by one, the military families fell to their knees in tears, full of excitement.
They have finally gotten rid of their status as military households, they are no longer dilapidated military households, they are no longer despised and enslaved military households, they are now peasant households, they are peasants.
From now on, they can own their own land, and their descendants will no longer have to marry wives because of their status as military households, and they can only marry the children of military households.
If you are not a military household, you will never be able to appreciate the heavy burden that the military status brings to them.
Their ancestors were the founding soldiers who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world and were brave and good at fighting, and they began to be assigned to Liaodong, because they were military households, and their descendants lived a life that was inferior to pigs and dogs.
No one will look at them squarely.
A broken military household is enough to describe everything about them.
Now it's finally liberated.
The sound of jubilant firecrackers began to sound, gongs and drums were beaten, and the sky was rejoicing.
The military households in Liaodong have been looking forward to one day for too long.
Ever since they knew that the imperial court was going to carry out military reform, abolish the original military household system, and change it to a compulsory military system, the military households in Liaodong have been waiting and waiting for their turn.
Last year, the imperial court exterminated the Jurchen tribes.
The imperial court began to deliberately arrange for the new army to take over the defense of Liaodong, and at the same time, it also slowly transferred the commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief, and other officials with military power on the Liaodong side back to the capital.
After completing this series of operations, the military system reform began on the side of the Liaodong region.
The fertile Liaodong nurtured the fierce Liaodong people.
If there is a place where the most effective fighting force in the original Ming army is, it is undoubtedly Liaodong's side.
Living between the white mountains and black waters for many years, the Liaodong Army still has to fight with the Jurchens, and at the same time it has to put the grassland in the west, so it is conceivable that the combat power of the Liaodong Army is definitely the strongest in the original Ming Army.
In fact, the Liaodong Army in history, it is also powerful, and it has always been an important force to resist the Qing Dynasty, and Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry is even more powerful.
All this is inseparable from the environment of the land of Liaodong.
The land here is fertile and abundant, don't look at them are all dilapidated military households, but this food and drink are definitely not worried, as long as you go to cultivate the fields and go hunting, then there will be endless food and prey.
Therefore, the people of the Liaodong Army are all tall and big, and they are far from being comparable to those military households in the Guannei.
There are so many fields for military households in the Guan, and the oppression of hundreds and thousands of households is very severe, and the more and more fields are occupied, and the fewer and fewer fields belong to military households, and the population of military households increases.
Therefore, the military households in the customs are really called unable to eat.
The military households in Liaodong are much better.
There are fertile fields here, and it is a matter of absolute reputation to cultivate and plant at will, or at least to be fed.
The Liaodong military household can always deter the Jurchen tribes, which is enough to show the strength of the Liaodong military household.
Therefore, in terms of the reform of the military system in Liaodong, the princes above the imperial court were very careful, only when the new army completely took over everything here, and transferred these general soldiers and general systems away.
Only then did it announce that the military system would be restructured in Liaodong and all military households in Liaodong would be liberated.
If you want to develop Liaodong, it is obviously not enough to simply immigrate.
It is also necessary to arouse the enthusiasm of the local military households in Liaodong.
This military system is clearly the best and most effective approach.
The military households in the entire Liaodong are cheering and celebrating.
Their demand is actually very simple, that is, they can leave the military household and become an ordinary peasant.
Such a simple wish has now finally come true.
The ordinary military households were constantly cheering, but the original hundred and thousand households were sad, and from then on they could no longer ride on the heads of these military households to eat, drink, and Lazar.
Moreover, the imperial court is very ruthless, and the imperial court will also transfer all of them to the Guannei, such an operation, they will completely lose the basis for continuing to be powerful.
As for wanting to support the army and respect itself, that is to really look for death.
Not only will the military households below not follow you to death, but the 20,000 new troops and 10,000 iron cavalry led by Wang Shouren have always been guarding Liaodong.
While clearing the remnants of the Jurchen tribes, he was also guarding against these thousands of households, hundreds of households, and general soldiers in Liaodong.
Whose interests will be hurt the most by military reform?
Naturally, these thousands of households, hundreds of households, general soldiers and the like, as soon as the system is changed, their hereditary iron rice bowl will be lost.
If you want to continue to eat this meal, you must go to the Ming Royal Military Academy for in-depth study and training.
Where can they endure this suffering, the current hundreds of households, thousands of households, that are all handed down by their ancestors, many people don't even know how to dance the sword anymore, they are purely relying on the merits of their ancestors to live.
Many thousands, hundreds, and even hundreds of households have kept a large number of family members in captivity, relying on these family members to maintain their own rule and maintain their own prestige and fortune in the military households.
The military households cheering and celebrating, the thousands and hundreds of households packing up their things and leaving silently, such a scene is happening in the entire Liaodong.
