Because of the pension, almost all the towns and horses have generals investigated, Zhu Cihong took the opportunity to justifiably transfer some people from the Yinglong army to install in the towns, at the same time, Zhu Cihong also plans to do a nationwide military system reform, has been expected to truly and completely control the country's soldiers and horses.

The soldiers and horses who participated in the bloody battle in Xuzhou were able to come back a total of more than 60,000 people, including the soldiers of the Yinglong Army, a total of more than 60,000 people, in addition to the Quanzhou army of the thousands of Zheng families, Zhu Cihong incorporated the other 60,000 people into the Yinglong army, these people are the elite of the bloody battle, and the merger into the Yinglong army did not humiliate them, nor did they insult the Yinglong army, since then, each army of the Yinglong army has recovered to 10,000 people.

Due to the emptiness of the treasury, the six armies of Yinglong's army were temporarily composed of 10,000 people.

Originally, the Ming army took the guard as the main system, the country set up the guard, the army from generation to generation, the supply depended on the tuntian, the soldiers were idle for the peasants, and the soldiers were soldiers in wartime, which was very bad, although a lot of military expenditures could be saved every year, but it also led to the Ming army in addition to the Hongwu and Yongle two generations also had quite combat effectiveness, and then the combat effectiveness was weaker than the next generation, and the armament was slack.

Zhu Cihong has always been very dissatisfied with the existing military system of the Ming Dynasty, if he had just ascended the throne the year before, not only to stabilize the dynasty, but also to pacify the civil strife and resist the Manchu Qing and other foreign enemies, the environment does not allow, afraid that the turmoil caused by the reform will be taken advantage of by the enemy, so he has to endure it all the time.

Now that the vitality of the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been greatly damaged, Li Zicheng is like a lost dog, Zhang Xianzhong was dragged to death by Qin Liangyu in Sichuan, and the Ming Dynasty has no internal and external troubles for several years.

Immediately, in addition to the two special places of Sichuan and Henan, which remained as they were for the time being, Zhu Cihong planned to issue an order to completely abolish the guard system and replace it with a conscription system, and set up a standing army to separate the standing army and the defenders who maintained law and order.

The standing army is still called the standing army, and the garrison army that maintains law and order in various places is called the garrison army, which is similar to the reserve.

Taking the Ying Long Army as an example, Zhu Cihong ordered the establishment of twelve standing armies. Firearms are precious, so in addition to the most elite Yinglong Army with all firearms from the First to the Sixth Army, the Seventh to Twelfth Armies are ordinary Ming troops that still use cold weapons.

Each army is fully staffed at 20,000 men, if all the 12 standing armies are fully staffed, it will be 24 men, and the garrison army will be 18 armies, about 360,000 men, according to the security arrangements required by the county governments, and the number of soldiers and horses in the whole country will reach 600,000 by then.

However, because of the Battle of Xuzhou, many soldiers and horses were transferred from all over the country, and the rest of the bloody battle were left in the six Yinglong Army. After the reorganization, the standing army and the garrison army will not be full, and each army will be temporarily composed of 10,000 people, which together will be nearly 300,000 people.

After Zhu Cihong only summoned Li Yan and Qian Buqian once in private, the next day, Qian Buqian put forward Zhu Cihong's idea in the court.

It immediately caused the shock of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, and one by one they set their eyes on the lack of money.

"Well, yes, the idea that there is no shortage of money is very much in line with me, and I think it is feasible!"

"The emperor is wise, the light of the holy light shines on the earth, it is the gospel of the Ming Dynasty, the ministers worship and obey, and the ministers support the emperor on behalf of all officials!" As soon as Zhu Cihong's voice fell, Qian Buqian immediately showed a look of great joy and said.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Li Yan also came out to express his support.

At this time, Ma Shiying and the others reacted from the shock, they heard it right just now, the emperor is planning to change the ancestral system!

Ma Shiying and the others didn't look at the money that was raised, because Qian Bu Lack has always been the representative of the greedy life and fear of death to see the wind and make it clear, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are tacitly clear, Qian Bu is just the emperor's spokesperson in the court, and every time anything is proposed, it must be indicated by the emperor, so they directly face Zhu Cihong.

"Your Majesty, the cancellation of the guard and others involves the ancestral system set by Emperor Taizu, the ancestral system cannot be violated, and the old minister will never agree!" Ma Shiying's old face was flushed, and he was angry.

Don't look at Ma Shiying, who has been very honest since he became the first assistant, even if he does not explicitly express support for Zhu Cihong's many initiatives, he almost never objects, just like an ornament, but in the end he is an old guy, extremely rigid in some aspects, this time Zhu Cihong's plan touched his bottom line, so he immediately spoke out to stop it!

"Lord Shoufu, you are questioning the emperor's wisdom, not the courtiers!" There is no shortage of money, and he did not hesitate to speak against Zhu Cihong's decision-making.

From the beginning, he knew his position very well when he was not short of money, and after so long, he already knew that the reason why the emperor did not kill him before was because he was obedient and afraid of death, and he was the emperor's spokesman in the court, saying what the emperor was inconvenient to say, helping the emperor test the firepower of the courtiers and being the emperor's pawn.

In this regard, Qian is not lacking without any discomfort, but feels extremely honorable, Qian is not afraid of offending anyone, he believes that as a courtier, only the emperor is the most promising, as long as the emperor is happy, hugging the emperor's thighs, no one can do anything to him.

"You are just a small imperial history, what qualifications do you have to speak against this Shoufu, in my opinion, it must be you who instigated the emperor to rebel against the ancestral system, which is disrespectful to the ancestors of the past dynasties, and it is an act of disloyalty and injustice. Ma Shiying immediately pointed at Qian Wuxian and scolded, and at the same time glared at Li Yan angrily and inexplicably, thinking that it was these two people who instigated in private to make the emperor have this idea of recruiting and changing the ancestral system.

Although Ma Shiying and others know very well that this matter must be done by the emperor himself, not instigated by Li Yan and Qian Buxi, but the emperor is the emperor, and it was not brought up by the emperor himself, it is impossible for him as a courtier to directly question the emperor, so he can only take his anger out on Qian Buqian and Li Yan.

Li Yan was silent and did not respond, but his supportive attitude was very firm.

Li Yan was born as an anti-thief, and Li Zicheng was the main purpose of overthrowing the Ming Dynasty, and he did not have any feeling for the so-called ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty from the bottom of his heart, the reason why he gave up Li Zicheng originally, in addition to being disappointed in Li Zicheng, was because he was convinced by the current emperor, and felt that the current emperor was the lord of the Holy Ming, and he would definitely be able to re-calm the world, and he knew very well that the emperor's reform of the military system was a move of great benefit, and it would definitely improve the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, even if he was broken, he would definitely fully support it.
