Zhang Juzheng said with a pale face: "Even if we come up with a way, what we really implement must be the cabinet, and only the cabinet has this power." And compared to the two adults in the cabinet, even if we come up with an idea, I am afraid that there are many incompleteness, and the two adults in the cabinet need to make up for it, so it is a normal thing for the cabinet to share the merits. ”

"Hehe" Zhu Dashou laughed twice and said: "I'm afraid it's not as simple as sharing profits, right?" It's the vast majority of profits. ”

Zhang Juzheng was silent, this matter was obvious, and there were no fools in the people here, it was impossible for him to fool them.

"It's nothing." Zhu Dashou spoke again: "It has become a custom for Shangguan to share most of his merits. But if things are smashed, it's also a custom for Shangguan to let us carry the black cauldron, right? ”

Zhang Juzheng was silent, everyone was silent, and the room fell silent all of a sudden.

The Imperial Study.

Luo Xin stood in front of Emperor Jiajing, who was looking down at Luo Xin's recital. Half-ringing, raised his head, looked at Luo Xin, and said with a very solemn look in his eyes:

"Luo Xin, although the data you investigated shows that the number of people in the guard is only 1,186,728, not as many as 27 million, but this is not a whirlwind!"

Luo Xin nodded and said, "Your Majesty, you can't just count these numbers. ”

"Huh?"

Luo Xin said with a solemn expression: "You also have to count the families of these people, the imperial court is disarmed, and these families must be given a way to live, otherwise they will be forced to rebel." ”

Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but have a headache, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Counting the family, there must be three million, right?" ”

"At least!"

Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but have a bigger headache, and after thinking for a while, he said, "You still have to keep some troops, right?" ”

"There's not much left!" Luo Xin pondered for a while and said: "Now there are 1.2 million troops in the north, of which the guards are only about 350,000, and these 350,000 people have all experienced the elimination of the war, which can be described as elite. The rest of these people can be kept. In the south, because the war between the Japanese and the Japanese has been over for a long time, the soldiers of the guard post that Hu Butang recruited at the beginning have all returned to the guard post, and to be honest, those people are no different from the ruffians. The minister believed that the soldiers of the Southern Guard could be cut.

There should be two major military centers in the north and south. In the south, the focus is on the coastline, although the Japanese have been destroyed, but we are not sure that in the future, there will be armies from other vassal states to attack the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, it is necessary to have an army that can fight well. ”

Luo Xin paused, glanced at Emperor Jiajing quickly, and continued:

"Hu Butang has two armies, one is Qi Jiguang's army and the other is Yu Dayou's army. Hu Butang can be allowed to build an army to guard the south with these two armies as the center. Now, excluding the Southern Guard, Hu Butang has about 400,000 troops in his hands, and the minister thinks so, he can select 300,000 elites from these 400,000 troops, and then these 300,000 elites will become regular troops, guarding Guangdong, Fujian, Suzhou and Hangzhou. The remaining 100,000 troops could be garrisoned by other southern state capitals. At the same time, 100,000 troops of the 350,000 guards in the north were transferred to the south, and the remaining 25 troops were stationed in the northern state capitals.

In this way, the problem of no one stationed in the state capitals after the Ming Dynasty lost its guard was solved.

Compared with the original 2.7 million, now there are only 450,000 people, and Daming has reduced a lot of burdens. And it is necessary for these 450,000 people to stay. As soon as something happens, you can send troops nearby.

Another military stronghold is the North.

The front in the north was long, so it was necessary to leave more troops than in the south. But excluding the 350,000 guards, 750,000 is enough. For a long time, the minister thought that there would be no more wars at the border gates.

In addition to the two military centers in the north and south, there is also a military center that is the capital.

Five military camps in Beijing will do, 100,000 five military camps, plus 750,000 northern regular troops and 300,000 southern regular troops, and 450,000"

Luo Xin paused for a moment and said: "We can call the five military battalions the Central Army, the armies of the two major areas in the north and south as the field army, and the original guard army as the regular army.

A total of 1.6 million troops.

That's enough for that. ”

Emperor Jiajing thought for a while and said: "In this way, it is still necessary to lay off more than 800,000 people, including nearly 3 million people from their families. ”

"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded.

"Do you have any ideas?"

"Nope!" Luo Xinyu said: "Isn't our temporary department just statistical data, handed over to Your Majesty, and then Your Majesty and the cabinet will discuss?" ”

Emperor Jiajing frowned and said, "How about distributing the original tuntian to those soldiers?" ”

Luo Xin took out a fold from his arms and handed it out with both hands, Huang Jin stepped forward, took the fold, and put it on the imperial book case. Emperor Jiajing glanced at Luo Xin, how to pick up the fold and look through it. Just looked at it a few times, and his face sank like water, and when he finished reading the whole fold, he "snapped" and threw the fold on the imperial book case.

"Damn it!"

"Your Majesty!" Luo Xin called out, and his eyes swept around.

Emperor Jiajing took a few deep breaths, and then shouted, "Go down!" ”

The eunuchs in the imperial study hurriedly retreated, and Huang Jin came to the gate and closed the door of the imperial study. Stood in the doorway. Only Emperor Jiajing and Luo Xin were left in the room, and Emperor Jiajing looked at Luo Xin and said:

"True?"

"It's true!" Luo Xin nodded seriously and said: "In fact, more than sixty percent of the tuntian fields in the north and south have been occupied by wealthy families and relatives of the emperor. The remaining forty percent was also divided among the generals of the guard. What those soldiers do every day is not training at all, but farming and doing housework for those generals, which is completely a long-term job. ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill them all! Emperor Jiajing roared.

Luo Xin said slightly: "You can't kill, at least you can't kill in front of you!" ”

"Why?" Emperor Jiajing stared at Luo Xin fiercely.

"I'm afraid of chaos!" Luo Xin said helplessly: "Now that we are disarming, we are only using the interests of the military attaché system, not to mention that we go to kill those families and imperial relatives who forcibly occupy Tuntian, even if we want those Tuntian back, it will cause a backlash from the civil official system." At that time, once the civilian system and the military attache system joined forces"

Emperor Jiajing's face changed, and he said half-loudly: "Is it just that?" ”
