966 Abolition of the military household system (3rd Update)
"After the reform of the guard system, only the battalion and sentry system remained, so the existence of military households was meaningless." When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he said in a firm tone, "Therefore, I have decided to abolish the military household system. All military households are converted to civilian citizenship. ”
This means that the military household system that the Ming Dynasty has implemented for nearly 300 years is coming to an end. Although military households are much stronger than those of lowly households, their social status is still much lower than that of civilian households.
If a private household marries a military household, it will inevitably affect their own children, because military households are passed down from generation to generation and there are various restrictions. For example, only one person is allowed to be a member of a military household, and there is no restriction on a civilian household; Regular military households with more than five dings are allowed to serve as officials, and civilian households with more than two dings can be filled as officials; If a household is guilty, it is often punished by confiscation; Military households are not allowed to exempt their children and nephews from the military and so on.
In the Ming generation, the escape of military households was repeatedly banned, and the reason was that military households were very miserable. When a ding goes on an expedition, a family or even a soldier will be affected. If a family has two or three pieces of military service, it is even more heavy. Even during the Taizu Hongwu Dynasty, the phenomenon of military households fleeing began to appear, and it became more and more serious, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was even more serious. For a long time, the imperial court has sent people to make up for the deserted army many times, and even set up a special Qing army imperial history to deal with the escape of military households and the affairs of the army.
"Your Majesty, is this a bit excessive?" The military department Shangshu Shen Yongmao couldn't help but remind.
The household registration system is the most basic thing, and if there is a change, many things must be adjusted accordingly. It can be said that it is a matter that affects the whole body. Therefore, Shen Yongmao disregarded the holy will and specially reminded him.
But Emperor Chongzhen's attitude was very clear, and he immediately shook his head and said, "It's not too radical at all!" As I said, since the Guards no longer exist, why does this military household set up for the Guards exist? That's it! ”
According to his meaning, in fact, he wanted to abolish the household registration of the Ming Dynasty. But this is too appalling, even if he is the emperor, it is not easy to carry it out rashly. Therefore, he planned to come one by one, and first take advantage of this reform of the military system of the guard station to abolish the military household registration. Wait for the next chance, and then abolish the craftsman or something. Even if you don't, at least you need to allow for a relaxed transition between your household registers. Instead of becoming a certain household registration, you will belong to a certain household registration for the rest of your life, and even future generations will belong to a certain household registration. This is extremely unreasonable for a soul who has traveled through the afterlife.
"Your Majesty Shengming!" This time, Cao Huachun was the first to echo, ahead of Wen Tiren, "With this will, the military households in the world will definitely thank the emperor for his mighty grace!" ”
Wen Tiren also agreed, not slowly, but he didn't show any intention of grabbing the first place with Cao Huachun.
Today's matter, if it were changed to the past, there would definitely be many courtiers who stood up against it, with the urine nature of these civil officials, you can find a bunch of reasons as soon as you look for them, for example, this is Taizu's regulations, you and Taizu are not filial, or do you want to say that Taizu is wrong? Anyway, the power is not as great as the emperor, but the high hat can be worn on the emperor's head one by one to see if you can withstand the pressure.
But right now, needless to say, on the cabinet side, the first assistant was specially promoted by Emperor Chongzhen, and the other cabinet assistants were all recommended by Wen Tiren. It can be said that the entire cabinet is full of Wen Tiren's people, there is no internal friction, and Wen Tiren is the emperor's cronies, plus in the past two years, Emperor Chongzhen's prestige has gradually strengthened, therefore, Wen Tiren and Cao Huachun took the lead, for the other courtiers in the Wenhua Palace, it is not a matter of great conflict of interest, so Emperor Chongzhen's will was finally implemented.
Therefore, under the premise that the general framework was erected, Emperor Chongzhen let go of the remaining details first, led by the first assistant of the cabinet and the eunuch in charge of the seal, to carry out further refinement, come up with a specific and feasible plan, and then submit it to the imperial review.
At the end, Emperor Chongzhen said to the people of the Imperial Palace: "The half-year deadline for serving the violation of the law is also coming soon. The first major thing that the Qing and other Metropolitan Procuratorates have to do is to strictly supervise the local investigation and handling of this matter, especially in the south of the Yangtze River, and we must keep an eye on it. ”
Speaking of this, he paused and seemed to be a little threatening: "Although the factory guards are tight, I will still let them pay attention to this." But I hope that the first major thing after the reform of the Metropolitan Inspection Institute is that it is best to do it well, and I don't want to hear too many things from the factory guard! ”
"Your Ministers obey!" When Zuo Du Yushi and the others heard this, they immediately bowed down and received the order!
It is said that the new official has three fires when he takes office, and the first thing after the establishment of the new yamen must be done well no matter what. Otherwise, if you are impeached and then change it back, the joke will be bigger. Therefore, these executives of the Metropolitan Procuratorate have made up their minds that even if it is too late to complete the restructuring, they will have to mobilize forces to do this and strictly supervise the implementation of the local government.
This time, the deliberations in the Wenhua Hall were really long enough, and when Emperor Chongzhen came out, he saw the sunset, and the time of the day passed. Back in the harem, the first thing Emperor Chongzhen did was to go to the chat group to see Hai Lanzhu's situation.
Hai Lanzhu's side, sure enough, there was a message, saying that she had already run past the Thorn Lu Wei, although she seemed to have thrown off the Jianyu pursuers, but for the sake of insurance, she didn't want the seven hundred cavalry to have an accident, so she continued to run north.
After Emperor Chongzhen replied a few words of advice, he went to look through the private chat sent by Liu Wang, but he told him that he would not receive the report at night, and the Horqin tribe had reached the upper reaches of the Xiaoling River, not far from Jinzhou.
So, Emperor Chongzhen gave another instruction on this.
At this time, the sun sets immediately, and the afterglow dyes the grassland red, making the grassland look particularly beautiful.
However, there is a word called hometown timidity, and when the Horqin people saw that they were about to go to the territory of the Ming Kingdom, the excitement disappeared a lot, and was replaced by a trace of unease. Although they think it should be a good result, it is inevitable that they will be apprehensive until the outcome is unknown. Even Buhe, who was jumping and jumping in the corners of his eyes, had a trace of worry in his heart, so he ordered to camp on the spot and set off after dawn tomorrow.
At this point, the Ming army's night failure to collect has appeared, and the process of negotiation and communication is also decent, and there seems to be nothing wrong with it. But before I saw the final result, I was worried after all.
The next morning, when the Horqin people all got up, they found among each other that many of them had a little dark circles under their eyes, and it was obvious that many of them had lost sleep last night.
Will Ming Guo be treated as promised, or will he change his mind on the spot?
Thinking about this doubt, Buhe found that this side had not yet packed up and hit the road, and saw many horses galloping in the distance.
