The so-called wall fell down and everyone pushed it, Zhu Jinglun just locked up Hou Jin and Zhang Qianshan, not in prison, but in their own homes, and the impeachments of civil and military officials continued one after another, and even made Zhu Jinglun see a different Hou Jin than before.

"Hou Jin has eight wives."

He has an annual salary of 10,000 taels and can afford to raise it.

"Hou Jin doesn't learn and has no skills, and he thinks he is a big man in the military academy, and he thinks it is beautiful."

Hou Jin was illiterate before, Zhu Jinglun always attached great importance to the cultural knowledge of officers, there is a special literacy class in the military academy, which is the lowest level of course, and the officers who need to go to it, and even the soldiers can go to the last period as long as they apply and have no war to fight, but Hou Jin has never learned or spoken, and he is often proud of his illiteracy.

"Hou Jin often regards himself as a brother of the Son of Heaven, consciously has a noble identity, has no one in his eyes, and often has resentment."

Hou Jin really has no one in his eyes, and among the officers with the same qualifications as him, he looks down on anyone, including the black dog, and he also shouts and drinks when he sees it, and there is no concept of the two being equal at all.

But the most serious thing is: "Hou Jin is greedy for military salaries!" Drink the blood of soldiers! ”

"Who sent this? Zheng Jin! I know this man, the commander of the Great Flood Army. Why did Hou Jin greed for the salary of the Mo army, and he also greedy for ink to the Dahong army? ”

Zhu Jinglun sighed.

He practiced a professional financial system in the army, and it was the finance department that paid the military salaries, all of which were civilian, and they were not even permanently stationed, and only went to the army once when the salaries were paid, and they generally had no friendship with soldiers or officers.

The account books of the Ministry of Finance are checked once a year, and they often go to the army to verify with the soldiers, so theoretically it is impossible to deduct military salaries.

Hou Jin is not a financial officer, how can they have the conditions to deduct military salaries?

"Your Majesty, force!"

Fang Shan nodded lightly on the side.

Zhu Jinglun saw that he was serious, so he opened the impeachment and looked at it carefully.

The more he looked at it, the more uncomfortable he became, he was very confident in the system he had established, thinking that it blocked the channels for officers to deduct, but they did not issue deductions, but they could force them. Hou Jin's method was that after the military salary was paid to the soldiers, he sent his cronies to collect filial piety from one military camp to another, and basically one-third of a soldier's salary could be handed over to him.

There can still be this method, Zhu Jinglun was a little amazed at the methods of these people's looting, and put all his thoughts on this, can such an army still be good?

"Is the news true?"

Zhu Jinglun confirmed.

Fang Shan nodded: "I have already sent someone to verify, not only the Dahong Army, but also the Zhaoqing Army, and the Eight Banners soldiers often respect when they are in Guangdong." ”

Zhu Jinglun couldn't sit still, this is no longer a problem of one or two troops, the scope is quite large, Hou Jin used to be the commander of the Xin'an Army, the soldiers of the Xin'an Army are all Xin'an people, Zhu Jinglun has been operating in Xin'an for a long time, and has a complicated relationship with the locals of Xin'an, Hou Jin still doesn't dare to insert his hand into the Xin'an Army, but the Dahong Army, the Zhaoqing Army, the peasant army and the green battalion soldiers, and the regimental training armament that were recovered later, he dared to be bold to force it, and the Eight Banners were even more excluded, and he did not let go.

Compared with the main forces such as the Xin'an Army and the Wukeng Army, these armies are all miscellaneous cards, and the military salary is already low, ordinary soldiers are at most 3 taels of silver, which will make the rifle 5 taels, and the Eight Banners are all 3 taels, and they are not equipped with rifles at all, which means that a soldier must give Hou Jin at least one tael of silver every month.

If that's all there is to it, the key is that he made a bad start, he forced all the armies, then the officers at all levels will definitely be apportioned, and even those who follow suit will drink the blood of the soldiers, such an army cannot have any combat effectiveness, which is tantamount to digging Zhu Jinglun's heels.

Zhu Jinglun nodded: "I know." There you go. ”

Fang Shan said that these situations are true, Zhu Jinglun believes that he does not dare to lie to Zhu Jinglun on this point, but why didn't Fang Shan say it before, Zhu Jinglun definitely didn't believe that he only noticed it recently, why Zhu Jinglun didn't receive any news before, why no one came to report or sue Zhu Jinglun, but waited until Hou Jin made a mistake, all the impeachments came, the wall fell down and everyone pushed one reason, and the other reason was probably that someone deliberately operated, they knew that a small mistake could not hit Hou Jin, Therefore, they must wait for the best time to bring out all the mistakes made by Hou Jin at once, as if they were fighting a general attack, which is very strategic.

This shows a very terrible problem: in Zhu Jinglun's government, a faction has been formed, and factions have already appeared in his government.

If you are an ordinary emperor, you may not be able to eat, no emperor wants to see his courtiers form a small group, and even calculates the emperor himself, whenever he finds this kind of sign, he uses thunder to directly extinguish it, and he does not hesitate to raise a big prison for this reason, and even the nine clans.

But Zhu Jinglun was just surprised, he was not worried about this kind of thing, because in all the political arenas throughout the ages, there will definitely be factions, no matter how strict your restrictions are, it is just to force the relationship on the surface to the dark, it is normal to have factions, and it is more normal to have factional struggles, but there is no need to make a fuss about this, as long as he can control a degree, that is, the system he has established is a good constraint on all power, so that power will not get out of control, just like now, although they have played with political means, But they still have to use their power within the normal range, and they don't directly attack each other with knives.

In the final analysis, Hou Jin made a mistake and was caught.

But Zhu Jinglun felt that things might not be so simple, so he sent Xie Qi to investigate secretly, and there were really some weirdness.

In fact, it was not Hou Jin who forced it from the beginning, at the beginning, it was some officers in the peasant army like Dahong Army who were worried about their safety, they were peasant troops, and there was always a hidden worry that they had been anti-thieves, and Hou Jin had always been more high-profile, claiming to be Zhu Jinglun's brother, they wanted to tie up with Hou Jin, and the officers and soldiers of a battalion collectively came together to send a big gift to Hou Jin on his birthday.

Other troops have the same example, someone will send it today, someone will send it tomorrow, there is a reason to send it, there is no reason to send it, Hou Jin has a master under him, saying that this is too troublesome, and discuss with everyone, how much should be given every month, and this kind of gift will be fixed. This kind of institutional corruption is very similar to Hong Kong in the 70s, where everyone collects benefits in a systematic and organized manner.

After that, it developed into a monthly, and Hou Jin's subordinates collected benefits on a monthly basis, and the specific operator was Hou Jin's master.

Because he is illiterate, Hou Jin is inseparable from his master, who would have thought that this master would push him to death.

After investigation, this did not happen on the Black Dog's side, first of all, the troops led by the Black Dog, mainly the Wukeng Army, and the Chaozhou Army recruited in Chaozhou were also dispatched by him, and the Hakka people of the Wukeng Army and the Chaozhou people of the Chaozhou Army were quite xenophobic and unscrupulous ethnic groups, so the Black Dog's hand could not reach in.

But these armies also have their own problems, for example, there are some small organizations such as hometown associations, which are also similar to Hou Jin, collecting each soldier's salary in proportion, and using these military salaries for some charitable activities, such as donating a bridge to their hometown, and soldiers in the army who fall ill and have an accident at home, they all use this money for emergencies, which should be said to be a kind of insurance fund.

Fortunately, it was discovered early, if this phenomenon is allowed to continue, in a few years, Zhu Jinglun's army will probably have no battle like the Qing army.

"Pass my order, put Hou Jin in prison, and let the military judge hear it."

Zhu Jinglun sighed.

At the same time, I understand that there are still loopholes in the systems in our army, not that these systems are not good enough, but that the Chinese are too good at exploiting loopholes, and those who are accustomed to being staff members are even better at exploiting loopholes.

"Hou Jin's master, personal soldiers, etc. will all be imprisoned and awaiting trial."

Zhu Jinglun added that military judges handle specific issues in accordance with military law, and he has never interfered with the law.

Zhu Jinglun then began to discuss with Xie Qi and other officers of the General Staff the issue of improving the military supervision system.

The original supervision system is intact, the review review, the audit audit, Zhu Jinglun will set up a small but independent operation of the military police force directly responsible to him.

The first commander of the military police, Zhu Jinglun chose Huang Huanqing in the staff headquarters; Huang Huanqing was a talent and highly motivated, but he was not tactful enough and always liked to express himself; this kind of character generally did not eat well in the Chinese group, and it was easy to be excluded and isolated, and he was in such a situation.

But this kind of person has an advantage, that is, they are more rigid in their work, and their self-motivation makes them dare to offend people, and they don't care about stepping on others for their own future.

Huang Huanqing was instructed to set up a 100-member military police unit, all members of which needed to be literate, so they were directly recruited from the students in county schools around the country, and now the willingness of scholars to become soldiers is much higher than before, as long as they are scholars who support Zhu Jinglun, they generally will not refuse to serve in the army, because Zhu Jinglun is carrying out a rebellion, and in the early stage of the rebellion, he must be the supremacy of military merit, and it is easier to get ahead as a military attaché.

In the style of not being afraid of offending people, Huang Huanqing really found a lot of problems.

For example, it is very common to give gifts to officers, and I dare not say that every soldier should give gifts to officers, but at least two or three percent of them want to give gifts, and occasionally more than eighty percent of those who have given gifts, and only one percent of those who have never given gifts.

The terrible thing is that there is such a common situation of gift-giving, but no one thinks that there is anything wrong, whether it is a soldier who gives a gift or an officer who receives a gift, he does not think there is anything wrong, because gift-giving is a kind of culture, and it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The question is, isn't Hou Jin just changing from receiving gifts to finally asking for gifts, for ordinary soldiers, taking out one-third of their monthly military salary is a very heavy burden.

In other armies, although it did not evolve into the institutionalization of Hou Jin, it was still very heavy, and many soldiers still paid one-third of the general's salary and had to be turned into a four-season gift for officers.

The fact that the matter is so serious and no one sees it as a problem is the most terrible problem, to the point that it cannot be left uncorrected.

"It is strictly forbidden to receive gifts in the army, and violators will be punished with bribes!"

Zhu Jinglun had no choice but to promulgate a strict military law. (To be continued.) )
