Chapter 55 The Military Power in the Hands of Mo Shanlin

What happened last night is not enough for outsiders. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

But when Zhu Houzhao went out in the morning, he was refreshed, but the strangest thing was that there were no blood-colored marks on the show bed.

It's better to say in the room than in the room.

After going out, Zhu Houzhao put away his relaxed expression. What Yu Mingxiao said is still very reasonable, why do people have two hands, just so that one hand can do things with the other hand when they are doing things.

Since the things on Huizhou's side are not good for a while, why not grasp them with both hands?

After thinking about this, Zhu Houzhao went to the school field outside the city early in the morning, and he wanted to start training his troops, although the Ming Dynasty claimed to have an army of more than 1.6 million, but the real one who could go to the battlefield was only the 500,000 army of the two prefectures of Datong Jizhou on the border of Liao, and this number would have to be discounted.

Don't think that 500,000 is a lot of numbers, in that era when the war basically relied on people, all the millions of square kilometers of land in the Ming Dynasty were guarded by a mere 500,000 people, and it was not even overstretched.

It's simply not clothed.

You must know that in the era when information is so developed, China still maintains a standing army of at least three million, and you can see how many rags are hanging on today's Ming that can cover up shame.

Zhu Houzhao just made a move here, and Mo Shanlin over there immediately reacted. These days, because Mo Fenglei is no longer there, he has been sitting in Daxueping, which is very close to the school field of the garrison, and once there is an emergency, Mo Shanlin will soon be able to grasp the military power.

After all, thirty percent of the entire Huizhou local garrison force and nearly forty percent of it was his Mo family's private army.

If you don't check it, I don't know it, I'm startled, Huizhou Mansion is the big mansion of Nanzhili, and the army of the guard here should have more than 12,000 people if Zhu Houzhao is not mistaken, but the actual online is less than 8,000.

If Zhu Houzhao knew that half of the 8,000 troops were the Mo family's private army, he would probably be so angry that he vomited blood.

Zhu Houzhao glared at the school secretary, he was just a nominal garrison, he was just a small secretary, and neither of them actually controlled the power of the army, so after arriving at the camp, Zhu Houzhao was very embarrassed to find that there were only five or six hundred soldiers living in the huge military camp, and they were all old, weak, sick and disabled.

"What's going on, people?" Zhu Hou looked at the pile of extremely filthy people who were lazy and lazy in the sun to catch lice, and asked the secretary.

"My lord doesn't know, it's the busy farming season, and everyone has farm work to do, and this group of strong people have all gone home to farm."

"Go home and farm!" Zhu Houzhao was a little blind, and when he was in the capital, he also had jurisdiction over the three major battalions of Gyeonggi for a period of time.

The combat effectiveness of the three battalions is a little worse, but the number is still very sufficient, as long as there is no war, the bright armor is also a bit bluffing. But there was no soldier who said, "Oh, no, the family is too busy, I'll go back and plant wheat and come back to fight."

It's just ridiculous. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Yuanzhang had already divided who was a military household and who was a farmer, and even the artisan merchants had made a clear division and passed it down from generation to generation.

It's like this kind of random stringing, which is basically killing yourself.

But Zhu Houzhao also understands that with the development of the times, the set of dead rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang has no possibility of continuing to exist. No one wants to fight and farm from generation to generation, and people go to high places and water flows to low places, which is the fixed pattern of nature.

It was only half an hour before Zhu Houzhao arrived at the school, and Mo Shanlin led a team of people to hurry over.

In the area of military power, although Moshanlin made concessions to Zhu Houzhao on the surface, once Zhu Houzhao really wanted to get involved, it would touch his bottom line. Not being a garrison general has already made Mo Shanlin's voice in the family a little smaller, and most of them have even lost their troops, so he is no longer qualified to speak.

So, don't budge!

"I heard that the garrison lord inspected the barracks, and his subordinates specially brought five hundred people to practice for the garrison lords, if there is anything, I don't need to work out in person, and my subordinates can also do their best to help the adults complete it." Far away, Mo Shanlin had already said in a loud voice to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao saw that Mo Shanlin had brought people here, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed: "Lord Mo, this garrison needs a thousand soldiers, are these people too few?" ”

"What's the use of a thousand soldiers?" Mo Shanlin's unhappiness is inevitable, in his opinion, this is completely Zhu Houzhao's lion's mouth.

The Huizhou army has always been the forbidden body of his Moshan Forest, and there is absolutely no reason to give his favorite concubine to others, even if the person who comes to ask for someone is a father.

Hearing Mo Shanlin's sudden and unceremonious question, Zhu Houzhao frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean by Lord Mo, this garrison needs to ask questions, are you the chief officer here or the chief officer of this garrison division here?" ”

"Naturally, your lord, you are the chief officer here!" Mo Shanlin said loudly, but from his tone, Zhu Houzhao still heard dissatisfaction.

"Then what's wrong with me asking for a thousand soldiers now?"

"There's nothing wrong with what the adults say, but there is something wrong with the soldiers. Now that the autumn planting is being carried out, there is a lot of land in the health center, but the population is also large, if you can't plant food in the field in time, then the soldier's ration for next year will become a big problem!

To have 500 people is already a subordinate who has worked hard to squeeze out the adults! ”

Zhu Houzhao was speechless, completely suffering the loss of his ancestors. At that time, in order to save military expenditures, Zhu Yuanzhang except for the soldiers on the northern border who would be paid a certain amount of food, and the rest of the guards were all distributed land according to their heads.

Let the vast majority of the soldiers guarding millions of square kilometers of land in the Ming Dynasty live a good life of self-sufficiency, so this group of guards soldiers lay down their arms and are farmers, and they are still farmers when they take up arms.

There has been no serious war for hundreds of years, and it is certain that the use of swords, guns, swords, halberds and scythes is not as easy as hoes and sickles, and they are all Zhu Yuanzhang's pots.

"This official doesn't believe it, even when the farm is busy, thousands of garrison troops should be left to ensure the safety of the house, how dare you say nothing in front of this official?"

"My lord, in recent years, many military households have become homeless people, and the fields are uncultivated, so every time the farming is busy, all of them are dispatched, where is there still more idle manpower!"

Mo Shanlin is a strong aggrieved, and he refuses to hand over a little more military power.

Zhu Houzhao was angry, the flood of displaced people in the late Ming Dynasty was indeed a big problem, but it didn't start from the time of Zhengde, right?

Taking a step back, even if there are displaced people, aren't you officials forced to engage in land annexation?

Zhu Houzhao didn't pay attention to Mo Shanlin's words at all, and said directly: "A thousand people, I want to see a thousand people in this place at this time tomorrow, if not, this official will let you see what military law is!" ”
