Chapter 396: Final Word

Originally, Emperor Jingtai was a little troubled in the face of the chaotic situation in the court, and he didn't know how to calm down as soon as possible.

Fortunately, at this time, Yan Shenggong spoke out in time, which made Emperor Jingtai breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Liu Juntao, the chief military officer of Shandong Town, together with 10 chief military officers from Datong Town, Shanxi Town, Xuanfu Town, Liaodong Town, Yunnan Town, Guangxi Town, Shaanxi Town, Gansu Town, Guangdong Town, and Guizhou Town, as well as dozens of generals and guerrilla generals from various places, jointly played a joint petition to ask the imperial court to implement the new military system in Shandong, and after success, it was implemented throughout the country!

Faced with such a situation, all the civil officials in the DPRK and China were dumbfounded, and the civil officials in various places were also shocked.

These civil officials originally thought that after the defeat of Tumubao, the strength of the military attachés in the DPRK and China had suffered a huge blow, but that was also the strength of the military attaches in the DPRK, and the general forces and staff in the provinces were still huge, but the power in the DPRK was greatly weakened!

At this time, the commander-in-chief officers of these localities were united, and it turned out to be huge, which shocked the civilian forces of the DPRK and China.

Even Emperor Jingtai couldn't help frowning, feeling a little headache at the huge power of this military attaché.

Fortunately, the commanders of these places all want to implement the new military system, and this new military system is of great benefit to the imperial court to control the place, improve the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, and save the military expenses of the imperial court, otherwise Emperor Jingtai must be very dissatisfied.

For a time, the opposition of the DPRK and China to the new military system and Liu Juntao, the chief military officer of Shandong Town, disappeared, and even the impeachment was gone.

Three days later, there was a big discussion in the court.

Emperor Jingtai once again threw out the issue of the new military system, to Emperor Jingtai's surprise, this time most of the ministers of the DPRK and China supported the implementation of the new military system, and many of them were originally civilian forces, and this time they were forced to stand on Liu Juntao's side due to the situation.

Even Shi Heng, the governor of the right capital, and Xu Youzhen, the superintendent of the imperial history, all spoke in favor, and quoted scriptures to talk about the benefits of the new military system, which made Emperor Jingtai happy in his heart.

In addition, the civilian officials in the DPRK and China who still do not approve of the new military system are also abnormal, and this time they did not jump out of righteous indignation to oppose it, but surprisingly unanimously remained silent.

Faced with irretrievable decline, these stubborn civil officials can only express their anger with their silence.

Seeing this, Yu Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, stood up and submitted the draft of the new military system drawn up by the Ministry of War.

Emperor Jingtai took a look at it, and sent it down to the court, so that the ministers of the court and the central government could discuss it in the court.

In fact, Yu Qian's draft was not "original" by the Ministry of War, but was improved according to the plan submitted by Liu Juntao, the chief military officer of Shandong Town.

In this draft, the imperial court will gradually abolish the guards of the political envoys, prefectures, and counties, but in the border passes and key places, the guards and fortresses in the places will be retained, and a thousand generals and garrisons will be set up in the places to guard them.

The soldiers and horses of the guards that have been dismantled will be screened and trained, and those who pass the test will be reorganized into the local military towns to serve, and those who are not qualified will be dismissed by the military department by issuing a "return money." The military towns in all localities should register all the soldiers and horses and report them to the military department for examination and approval, and the reorganized troops should also be deployed by the military department.

The same is true for the generals of the local guard posts, and the military department will conduct drills for the generals of the local guard posts, and those who pass the test will be transferred to the military towns in various places as officials, and those who fail to meet the requirements will be dismissed!

At the same time, the military department will mobilize manpower to conduct an inventory and accounting of the acres of military cantonment fields in various health posts.

Those who encroach on the army's acres of land and acres are to be arrested by the soldiers and horses of the local military towns and towns, convicted according to the number of encroachments, and the corresponding fines will be confiscated as military salaries.

After that, all the accurate military tun fields were all under the jurisdiction of the military towns, and the local people were hired to cultivate them (the extremely poor, the homeless, and the disaster victims were given priority), and the situation imitated the joint production contract system implemented by the Yushan Town Civil Department, and part of the grain produced in the fields was handed over to the military department as state income, and part of it was handed over to the military towns as military food, and the rest belonged to individuals no matter how much!

After the abolition of the local guard posts, the chief military officer of the place was the highest military attaché.

In some places where there are no military towns, the military department will also gradually set up military towns to defend them, which is basically limited to the places where the political envoys or several prefectures are located.

At the same time, in the new military system, the military towns will also be uniformly allocated for the build-up of armaments and the supply of money and food by the military department, and although each military town can set up its own ordnance bureau to build military equipment, its scale must be controlled by the military department.

The commander-in-chief of the military towns was not allowed to engage in business, nor was he allowed to eat empty salaries, etc.

Of course, for Liu Juntao, the chief soldier of Shandong Town, these last few regulations are ineffective, and these are the rules used to restrain the rest of the general soldiers.

The contents of this new military system were also carefully decided by Liu Juntao, and the purpose was to lay the foundation for the future popularization of the joint production contract system and the battalion system throughout the country.

Although the new military system will, to a certain extent, lead to the growth of local military towns, the restrictions on ordnance and money and food in the new military system can also avoid this situation to the greatest extent.

Even if the worst happens, Liu Juntao is not worried, after all, the 100,000 battalions in Shandong Town, as well as the hundreds of thousands of reserve soldiers and horses that are being formed, can completely defeat any enemy!

If there is really any chief military officer who is arrogant and wants to repeat the story of local secession, Liu Juntao is sure that he will lead the army to conquer and win the battle on the orders of the Ministry of War!

In the face of the plan drafted by the Ministry of War, the ministers of civil and military affairs present had no opinions, and everyone agreed with them.

At this time, the general trend has been decided, and if anyone picks and chooses the fat and thin in the plan, it is really a bad brain.

Emperor Jingtai was also very happy to see this, after all, the long-standing controversy has finally come to an end, and after the proposal for the new military system is passed, it is estimated that there will be no more major conflicts between civil and military officials for a long time.

Therefore, Emperor Jingtai issued an order in the court: order the military department to implement it immediately and implement the new military system in Shandong Town first!

A few days later, the news spread that Shandong Town had taken the lead in implementing the new military system, and all sides were shaken for a while.

In particular, Datong Town, Xuanfu Town, Shanxi Town, Shaanxi Town and other border military towns were even more celebrating.

After all, these military formations directly faced the Hulu armies such as Warat and Tatar, and the weak combat strength of the guards in the past made the soldiers and generals in various places miserable.

Now, once the new military system is smoothly implemented in Shandong, these military towns will also be implemented one by one, and when the time comes, the military towns will not only increase their troops, but also the combat strength of the army will also increase a lot!

And the happiest is Liu Juntao, the chief military officer of Shandong Town.

At this time, the news sent by the Ministry of Intelligence was faster than the order from the Ministry of War, Liu Juntao looked at the information in his hand and laughed, and said to Liu Zi'an: "Now that the new military system is implemented, coupled with the commerce and industry implemented by the Ministry of Commerce in various places, as well as the roads and infrastructure built by the Ministry of Civil Affairs in various places, this town is confident that Shandong will become the most powerful and prosperous province in the Ming Dynasty within a few years!" ”

The new military system is only part of Liu Juntao's plan, and with the progress of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce, Liu Juntao has already begun to deploy his own plans throughout the province.

Now, not only is commerce flourishing in various parts of Shandong, but also all kinds of workshops have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, coupled with the cooperation of the Development Department of the Central Ministry, the Department of Commerce, and the Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Intelligence, all kinds of new technologies and new equipment are being developed, and have been applied by businessmen and people from all over the country.

Liu Juntao estimates that in a few years, the economy of Shandong Province will be able to take off and gradually begin to transform from an agricultural economy to a capital economy!

At the end of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, in fact, the Ming Dynasty had begun to sprout the capital economy, and "trade unions" began to appear in all provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, and workshops, new technologies, and capital were rampant in the world!

If it weren't for the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the later generations, it would be entirely possible for the Ming Dynasty to usher in a "bourgeois revolution" in a few decades!

At this time, Liu Juntao just used a large amount of silver and various new technologies to greatly advance this long-term change!

At the same time, the military system in various parts of the Ming Dynasty began to change together.
