The matter of the Qing army is also a gradual process. For more than 200 years, the Ming Dynasty has been slowly improving, trying to solve the problems of the flight of sergeants, the occupation of sergeants by honorables and officers, and the chaotic management of military yellow books.

In the twenty-first year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty formulated the "Military Register" and "Military Household Atlas". The former records the military history of each soldier under the jurisdiction of each guard, the year and month of the transfer to the guard, and the number of people in the camp, etc., and its function is to manage the regular army; The latter registers the names, ages, places of origin, and people of military households throughout the country, and manages the remaining Ding, Jiding, Yuding, and other Dingkou in the household, and its function is to use it as the basis for conscripting and sending military members to enlist in the army and to pursue deserters.

By the Xuande period, the regulations and rules of the Qing army were formulated and promulgated in detail, so that Qing officers and officials at all levels had rules to follow and laws to follow. In the third year of Xuande, the imperial history of the Qing army, which was in charge of cleaning up the army, began to be established, and the Qing army was cleared at the same time throughout the country.

After Chenghua, the Qing military institutions and Qing army officials in various localities were further enriched. At the same time that the Ming Dynasty set up the imperial history of the Qing army in the central government, there were 13 Qing military officials in Guizhou Road, and there were Qing army officials in various places, including Qing military road, Qing army senator, Qing army Tongzhi, etc.

However, even that is useless. There is a problem with the health system, this root is rotten, what's the use of you tinkering? Eventually, as their power increased, the Qing army officials began to act as a blessing and authority, and became more disturbing to the people, but they failed to achieve the original intention of the establishment. Should military households flee or flee, and those who eat empty pay for the army still eat empty pay.

From the Jiajing period onwards, based on these shortcomings of the guard system, the conscription system, which was originally prohibited, re-emerged. At the very beginning, it was also effective, such as the famous Qi family's army, which was recruited. However, in the future, most of the recruited soldiers did not have strict military training, and they could not pay their salaries on time, and as a result, they fled one after another, just like the guards.

At this time, the court's approach is that if you run away, then arrest your family to replace you. That is, during the Apocalypse, the Quartet fled on the day of recruitment, and his relatives were taken to supplement the army. This is a new kind of "Qing army".

Emperor Chongzhen knows the ins and outs, so his head hurts, how to solve this matter? It's such a terrible thing, you can't patch it!

When he had a headache, the Korean court cheered, and all the courtiers, including Injong himself, couldn't help but be excited about Amin's compromise.

For a long time, North Korea has no way to deal with Shang Jianyu. Just as the north was robbed by Jian, the Korean monarchs and ministers could only stare dryly. Except for a protest, he did not dare to blatantly announce the intention to go to war.

Of course, they also know that the reason why Amin was able to compromise was because the military forces of Shangguo were active, and they didn't know the specific situation, but if they could compromise the stubborn and arrogant Amin, they would definitely make Jianyu suffer a relatively big loss.

However, there was a new round of controversy between the Korean monarchs and ministers. Is it to accept it when it is good, order the northern side not to make trouble anymore, and offer food for Amin to lead the army back quickly; Or do you want to continue to resist, and you will drag it out like this, and see if Amin will not be able to hold on and run away by herself, or will be consumed to death by the army of the kingdom!

Speaking of which, both sides have their own reasons, and the faction led by the three bachelors is resolutely opposed, saying that the Jianyu has ravaged the north like that, and now it is not easy for the country to send troops to participate in the war, and it has also achieved some victories, if you compromise, what will the country think?

The opposition believed that the strength of Jianyu was always strong, and it was impossible to achieve a final victory even if the Ming army on the Dongjiang River alone won a small victory. Otherwise, why can't Liaodong be recovered? Hurry up and send Jianyu away, and return peace to North Korea.

The fierce battle developed into mutual attacks, and finally the three bachelors who were in power began to kill people on fabricated charges. In the Korean court, the party struggle is as always, and it is endless.

No matter how well the small Korean court fought, the official road that Amin wanted was finally completed. He sent another 1,000 men to escort the last batch of grain to Uiju. He led the remaining 4,000 people to wait for North Korea to offer food.

When the military intelligence arrived at Lu Xiangsheng's place, Wei Mulan couldn't help but be surprised: "Jianyu doesn't have a long memory, and he sent us food?" ”

"Definitely!" Lu Xiangsheng shook his head, his face was a little serious, "Last time, Jianyu didn't know that we were here, and we had already suffered a loss. This time, since we know that we can eat a thousand Jianyu, we will definitely be on guard. The official concluded that this was a bait! ”

"What then?" Wei Mulan was taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly asked.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't answer immediately, but was silent for a moment before he said slowly: "Even if Liaodong Jianyu comes to North Korea, it shouldn't be so fast. Even if he came, the official also made an early warning, so you can watch out. ”

"Amin's army has been dispersed, there are 4,000 people in Yiju, and more than 1,000 people have been annihilated by our army, and Amin only has 5,000 people in his hands, and another 1,000 people will be sent out as bait. Hehe, as long as the arrangement is properly, the official is not afraid of him. The key at the moment is how much food is used as bait, and whether it is worth a fight! ”

Wei Mulan listened to this and reminded a little worriedly: "Lord Zhongcheng, what the emperor means is to preserve our own military strength for the purpose. ”

Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said, "This official will take care of it!" ”

After saying that, he walked to the battle map and looked at it with a slight frown. Then he began to issue orders to go back to the night without receiving.

During this period, Liu Xingzhi, the capital secretary, hurriedly came in to ask for war, asking for another Jianyu, and the Korean volunteers also expressed their stance that they could do Jianguo again as they did last time. However, Lu Xiangsheng was unmoved, and did what he thought.

Soon, a new military situation came up again, saying that every other hour, the Jianyu grain protection team sent fast horses along the official road to report the news. Then the two sides sent fast horses back to make sure that the food guards were not attacked. As for the grain transported, according to the information that the Korean people who were arrested and finally heard it, it was true.

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he basically understood Amin's intentions. Two days away, back and forth, food is here, you who are hiding in the shadows, do you dare to come again? Once the food protection team is attacked, the communication will be interrupted, and the two sides will inevitably send troops to rescue. As long as the grain transport team cannot be quickly annihilated, if it is dragged by the grain transport team, it is likely to fall into a crisis due to the arrival of reinforcements.

Is this grain robbed or not? Lu Xiangsheng didn't think about it for a while. However, his generals came to ask for battle, as well as several leaders of the Korean volunteers, who participated in the war last time, also came to plead. Even in order to move Lu Xiangsheng, he made various suggestions and patted his chest to assure.
