Speaking of those deceased relatives, the father and son were silent for a while, Jiang Hu looked more open on this issue, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is used to life and death: "The most important thing for you now is to give birth to a grandson quickly, I know that there are two women in your room, but they have not moved so far." ”

"This ......" Jiang Tian was speechless again: "The two sisters strayed into the dust, thinking that they were suffering from some losses, and they should ...... if they can recuperate for a while."

"I know what you're trying to say." Without waiting for Jiang Tian to finish speaking, Jiang Hu interrupted him: "I didn't let you sell them, I don't think I'm a cautious girl, but don't forget that even if they give birth to a son and a half daughter in the future, it will be a concubine!" ”

Although Jiang Tian didn't like this statement in his heart, he also understood that in this era, his father's words are basically social norms, in this era, even if the wife can't give birth to a concubine but gives birth to a son, in most cases, the child must be allowed to recognize the wife of the big house as the adoptive mother. But if you want to let yourself marry Meng Daya into the door, there is still some resistance in my heart.

Jiang Hu saw that his son was the little Jiujiu in his heart, to be honest, if he could be twenty years younger and live in such a beautiful mansion, it would be impossible for him to look down on the rustic Meng Daya.

"I think this matter is settled, and when you return home on business, you will do the happy event." Without waiting for Jiang Tian to object, Jiang Hu hurriedly took out his father's majesty: "This time you go to Japan, do you bring the two Japanese girls in the house, I always feel troubled when I look at these two people!" ”

If it weren't for his father's reminder, Jiang Tian would have forgotten that there were still these two people, Jiang Tian had to teach students in the past two years due to his busy official duties, even the quiet sisters rarely had the opportunity to sleep, and there were too many women in this house who wanted to give their arms to each other, and it would not be the turn of the two average-looking Japanese girls. However, Jiang Tian immediately thought of the usefulness of these two people, although they are not fluent in Chinese, they can at least be used as translators, and these two people have also seen the world, if the benefits of immigrating to China are hyped in Japan, it can be more convincing than any official statement.

So when Jiang Tian stood on the renovated Jinghai, there were two more Japanese maidservants dressed as ladies around him, and it was normal for him, a first-class man, to have a maid ring to serve him when he went out, but these two people were no more than 1.5 meters tall, and Jiang Tian, who was more than 1.75 meters, was a little funny no matter how you looked at it. Jiang Tian was ordered to go abroad no matter what, and it was impossible for him to be quietly sent away, but Jiang Tian was most annoyed by this kind of ushering and sending, so he took it upon himself to advance the departure time by an hour, so when the fleet was offshore, the local officials did not know, but they didn't know that anyone knew that Jiang Tian could not hide from anyone and the security personnel sent by Zhang Tao.

"Lord Jiang has a difficult face, but he has concerns about this errand?" The little eunuch Xizi saw that Jiang Tian had been standing on the side of the boat in a daze, so he stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

Xizi's task this time is not to declare the decree, this is Jiang Tian's job, but considering that this is the first official state visit of the Chinese Dynasty, the cabinet feels that it is still necessary to take a picture of the eunuch to show the **** style, the main job of this visiting eunuch is actually to hold the holy decree and wait for Jiang Tian to exchange national letters with the other party. So it became a problem for people to go, this is not to go down to the south of the Yangtze River but to go to the lair of the widows, and the task is not to be a beautiful court angel, but to become a follower of civil officials. For a while, the eunuchs who had a little way to refuse, so Xizi, who had little power, was chosen.

Jiang Tian thought to himself, can I tell you that I am upset because I am going to get married after returning to China? Even if there is a huge difference in status between the two, not to mention that Xizi is also a close person around the Son of Heaven, and not to mention that the eunuch himself can't be a person, so he is a little taboo on this topic, just say that he is unwilling to marry a woman who has no love, and people in this era are incomprehensible.

"My father-in-law doesn't know, what kind of mess is there in this country, this errand is really not easy to do!" Jiang Tian said nonsense with Kiko's letter.

Xizi didn't ask why, but smiled: "Don't lament, my lord, there is still something here for the maid." ”

As he spoke, he took out a roll of yellow silk from his sleeve and stuffed it into Jiang Tian's hand, Jiang Tian took it and saw that his face changed instantly, but he didn't say anything, just lowered his voice and asked, "Where is the person?" ”

"Lord Jiang, please come with me."

Jinghai is a big ship in the eyes of others, but in Jiang Tian's eyes, it is also a special yacht, under normal circumstances, he doesn't need Xizi to lead the way, but now it's different, when Jiang Tian stood in front of the officer's restaurant, he happened to see the two people inside still smiling at him, but one of these two people was smiling weakly, and the other was helplessly smiling.

Jiang Tian shook his head and sat in front of the two of them: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, is this going on an outing?" ”

As soon as Xizi heard a spirit, she hurriedly infiltrated to see if there were no outsiders on the left and right, and then whispered: "Don't make a noise, don't you say it in this secret decree!" ”

Zhang Huan touched a nail that day, knowing that Jiang Tian would not allow him to go along, and when he returned to the palace, he couldn't let others know about it, otherwise his mother would be the first to disagree. And it is not okay for him to run away from home like Liu Baokai, if he does this, the world will really be in chaos, so the only hope is that his father is on his side.

What Jiang Tian didn't expect was that Zhang Tao actually agreed, and he didn't know until he went to sea, he understood that Zhang Tao still wanted his son to go out to increase his knowledge, and besides, this trip was still guaranteed in terms of safety. But when he thought of some customs in Japan, Jiang Tian had a headache again, if the Chinese prince learned a bunch of inconsistencies after returning from Japan, Zhang Tao would not spare himself, and whether it was the emperor or he Jiang Tian, they all showed more or less disgust with the Japanese in their usual words, but the Japanese in this era have not had too many great and evil acts, how should Zhang Huan explain? What if this kid has a crush on Japan?

Because of these problems, Jiang Tian felt a headache. So he decided to continue to keep the shock's identity secret, and strictly control Zhang Huan's too much contact with the Japanese, but then the visiting fleet encountered the same problem as Li Xiuyuan's fleet, and the typhoon came!

In fact, this is the same wind, if there is a weather radar to track, you can draw a route on the map from the eastern waters of Luzon, through the Taiwan Strait to the north to Kyushu, Japan, but in this era, even Jiang Tian can not know where this typhoon came from and where it is going, he can only withstand the eight-level gale in the stormy waves to turn to North Korea to avoid the wind, this is just the wind and waves on the periphery, if it really collides with the typhoon head-on, even if the Jinghai has only the ending of taking over the sinking.

"Do you regret it?" There was a rattling sound from the cabin, as if a sturdy warship would fall apart at any moment. Looking at Zhang Huan, whose face was pale, Jiang Tian still didn't forget to hit his enthusiasm: "If it's too uncomfortable, get off the ship in North Korea and go home." ”

In the past two days, Zhang Huan vomited out everything he could vomit, and the violent bumps made the prince, who had been pampered since he was a child but had a good physique, feel what seasickness is, in fact, Jiang Tian is not much better, but he is the envoy of this visit, even if he vomits all the bile, he can't go home.

"Student...... Learn...... No regrets! Although Zhang Huan tried hard to say something grandiose, the strong dizziness made him grit his teeth and say such a sentence.

Jiang Tian didn't care if Zhang Huan was reckless, because he could only lie on the bed now, forcibly enduring the feeling of vomiting.

On the contrary to them, Liu Baokai stood on the deck and looked at the calm sea with an urge to shout loudly, he finally got his wish and sat on the Dinghai number, probably All@Lord heard his sincere prayer, the Chen family's ship was pierced by a big tree swept by the wind in the port, and then sat and sank in his anchor position like this, so the color @ wolf classmate rolled his eyes, and took Chen Hao together with Shang Fang's sword on the Dinghai number. Although Li Xiuyuan also suspected that this kid was running away from home, firstly, there was no news from the mainland, and secondly, the itinerary was relatively urgent, so he did not delve into his motives, even if the prince was dissatisfied with this in the future, he could use the reason of Shang Fang's sword to prevaricate the past.

Putting aside the thrilling or high-spirited voyage at sea, the Forbidden City in Beijing is really stormy and howling and the waves are monstrous, and the anger of the queen mother burns the entire harem Everyone is in danger, even Zhang Tao lives in the imperial study on the grounds that he is busy with state affairs, you can imagine how frightened others are when facing the queen, Zhang Tao did not deliberately avoid the queen, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty agreed that he was afraid of his wife, and many civil and military generals who were optimistic about Zhang Huan's heir also complained about the emperor letting the prince go to the barbarian land with his own risk.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you still have any objections to my plan to eliminate the old and weak soldiers and enrich the nine sides?"

Now there are Wen and Wu in the imperial study, everyone look at me, I look at you, I don't know what the emperor means, the soldiers should be reclaimed and garrisoned, but since Zhu Hongwu engaged in the Wei system, the taste of this military reclamation has changed, not only the generals support the army and respect themselves, but the combat effectiveness of the Wei army is not as good as the bandits, how can Zhang Tao, who is from the Wei Institute, not know the drawbacks.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Zhang Tao also understood their concerns, so he continued: "Of course, this is not the guard system of the previous dynasty, even if the soldiers of the Nine Sides are still soldiers, the people are still the people, at most it is to train some young people in the village to be militiamen. ”

After he said this, these people understood a little, but there were still a lot of concerns, and Defense Minister Liang Fan took the lead in saying: "Your Majesty intends to eliminate the old and weak, just divide their land, but the minister doesn't know how the righteousness of this militia is different from the guard system of the previous dynasty?" ”

"The militia, as the name suggests, is the people's army, not only in the villages on the border, but also in the whole country, whether in towns and villages. At the time of the previous dynasty, it was officially because the villages and towns were unable to protect themselves, which allowed the bandits and the Tartars to loot wantonly, and the former dynasty Wen Tianwu and the people were not martial, so they were repeatedly bullied. ”

Everyone looked at each other again, although Zhang Tao's idea was good, but what should the people do if they practice martial arts @民@resist@law, and disrespect the orders of the imperial court? This is when they start to miss Jiang Tian who is away on a business trip again, although this Jiang is also a reformist, but at least his actions are not so extreme, in fact, it is not to blame that they do not understand Zhang Tao's intentions, Jiang Tian will not speak out against it if he is really here, the militia is an effective supplement to the armed forces, and it is a force that can be mobilized by grassroots organizations, the only thing that needs to be noted is that the force cannot be held in the hands of local forces, and the military power can only be in the hands of the central government.

There are also smart people who immediately understand that Zhang Tao's true meaning is not here, disarmament is to cut off the factional forces of the old army, but also to free up the establishment of the new army, and the institutionalization of the militia is to lay a good foundation for the upcoming Northern Expedition, so these smart people also began to miss Jiang Tian, it seems that so far, this Jiang Lord can dispel the emperor's idea of the Northern Expedition, thinking from this angle, Jiang Tian's visit to the happiest may be Zhang Tao.

Emperor Zhang's idea was actually to copy the system of later generations, but a few hundred years later, because the population base was too large, the people's enthusiasm for joining the army was very high, the army had never lacked soldiers, and the expected Third World War did not happen, so the militia and reserve system has not played a big role, so that many people have forgotten this paramilitary force with a total number of more than 10 million people. Zhang Tao, on the other hand, had participated in the war in southern Xinjiang and had personally experienced auxiliary tasks such as the militia unit's maintenance of logistics and material channels, the transfer of the wounded, and the control of local public security, so he was well aware of the rationality and necessity of this system.

Contrary to the emperor's wishes, the mainstream ideology in China since the Song Dynasty is that good men should not be soldiers, which is the Song Dynasty's ruling class in order to maintain the stability of its own regime, deliberately emphasizing literature over military force and releasing the idea of foolishness, but also the practical problem of poor treatment as soldiers, especially in the Ming Dynasty, the military household system has become synonymous with slaves and cannon fodder in the later period, and ordinary people are unwilling to marry their daughters to ordinary military households. In the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty, officers and soldiers were even more like bandits, how could they make the Chinese people have a good impression of the soldiers? Later, Zhang Tao was in power and rectified military discipline, which improved. During the Northern Expedition, even the relatively wealthy Jiangnan was as cheap as a mustard, and the soldiers could survive at least for a while when they ate food, and although the salaries of the new army were not high, they were never in arrears, which ensured the sufficiency of the soldiers. Now that the world is peaceful, the officials are clear, and the borderless lands in the north abound, and it is really a big deal to get a share of the wasteland subsidy to go to the north, why bother to become a soldier?

It is not unreasonable to say that although China appeared the germ of nationalism earlier than other mainstream civilizations in the world, the concept of nationalism that is systematic and universally recognized by the whole people is still a foreign product of the late Qing Dynasty. Even in the period of the Republic of China, the social structure was still greater than the state, if there was no national commune transformation of rural land after liberation, without the improvement of the level of education for all, and without the political @governance@movement@movement of the whole people during the WG period, the backbone militia would definitely become the guardians under the control of local big families! In fact, even in the 21st century, the rural families in some parts of the dynasty still hold a certain range of power. But Emperor Zhang's foundation was still shallow, and during the Northern Expedition, it became a tailwind battle because of the defeat of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so Zhang Tao did not have enough time to carry out politics @ work @ work @ work @ work to drive out the Tartars, that is to say, the situation he is facing now is worse than the problems encountered during the liberation of the country.

Even with these obvious problems, Zhang Tao was still determined to implement the system to the end, because in reality, the concern about the lack of troops outweighed the risk caused by the imperfection of the system, or he had enough confidence in himself in his heart to solve all the troubles in his lifetime, so in Jiang Tian's absence and the cabinet's inability to prevent Zhang Tao from implementing the new law, this mixed "Compulsory Military Service Law" was announced to the world.

(1) All citizens of appropriate age, male or female, are obliged to perform military service.

2. The minimum period of military service shall be three years, and the period of service may be extended at the discretion of special services, and all food, lodging, and clothing during the period of service shall be paid by the public, and the monthly salary shall be limited to the minimum national income.

3. The local armed forces department shall select the children of good families who have not served in the military to form a militia, and the training shall not be less than four days per month, and the local government shall provide food and lodging during the training period.

4. In the event of war, militia and retired personnel shall be transferred according to the scale of mobilization to form reserve forces to supplement front-line combat units or carry out non-belligerent tasks.

5. During the period of service, if all casualties due to war, accidents and other causes of duty are paid by the government.

6. The immediate family members of service personnel enjoy the privileges of military and martyrs' families.

……

It is conceivable that after the promulgation of this law, the people of the world will be surprised, anyway, Zhang Tao is determined to carry out the compulsory military service system, and some people have calculated this, assuming that it takes three or five years to complete the transformation of the entire army, then the active army plus the militia and reservists hidden in the people, the Chinese Dynasty is equivalent to having an army of millions of people, and there is no need to spend money to support it in peacetime. At that time, let alone conquer the grassland, even if it is another Northern Expedition, it will be more than enough. It is precisely because of this that some people are in favor and some are against among the people, and some people see the huge benefits in this, and many of the wealthy families who have been dormant are a little ready to move, and it is the tempting cake that the local people are in charge of the military, but what they don't know is that the first instructor that the militia is about to see is not a military instructor, but a political @ commissar who is also very controversial in later generations!

As an aside, some people think that national interests are higher than personal interests, and some people think that personal interests are above everything else, this is a very ordinary ideological issue, but it has been caused by some people to become a ******** dispute, but it is a pity that history has proved that on the major issue of right and wrong such as the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, the will of the individual is really not worth mentioning, even the United States, which claims to be the beacon of the earth, is also the same state supremacy in the ideological education of the army, and it has even been recorded in both China and abroad, During the Korean War, the United States had special officers to control the thinking of the military and arrest officers and soldiers who spread anti-war speeches. Why did you throw this fig leaf away when it was not in your favor? As for allowing officers and soldiers to surrender as a last resort, this is also the difference between the two civilizations, and they do not have any spiritual resistance to being a prisoner, and besides, being a prisoner does not have to pay a death pension, which has nothing to do with the so-called respect for people @ rights. The reason why Chinese soldiers still dare to face a strong enemy despite an absolute disadvantage is not because they have been brainwashed by the political @ commissar, nor is it because their families have been coerced (did the person who made up this rumor use his brains?). ）。 In fact, the reason is very simple, whether it is the War of Liberation or the previous foreign wars of the Republic, the bright sword spirit of Chinese soldiers comes from the fact that they know what they are fighting for, and they know better that it is a hundred times stronger to burn the flames of war on other people's territory than to smash their own altars and jars!
