PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

Liu Fan first told Chongzhen about the origin history of the People's Liberation Army, so that he could have a general understanding! And then I said! "Your Majesty, you may not know much about the Ming army after living in the palace for a long time, let's talk about the current military situation of the Ming Dynasty first!" Chongzhen wanted to say that I knew it very well, but he put it to his mouth and swallowed it! Because he had never been out of the capital at all, and he had heard what others had to say, he wanted to hear what future generations had to say about the Ming army.

"Then tell me how later generations commented on the Ming army, why I spend so much money every year to support them, and why I always lose battles!"

"Let's talk about the military system first, the military of the Ming Dynasty is mainly divided into the battalion system and the guard system, the Ming Dynasty was established at the beginning, and the guard system was implemented throughout the country. In fact, the guard is not a barracks in the modern sense, not a wartime organization, the guards live in the same place, and plough and defend, wartime by the imperial court temporarily dispatch troops, soldiers and generals separated, soldiers do not know generals, will not know soldiers. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the blueprint for this kind of military construction soon changed due to the increasing border troubles, especially in the surrounding areas of the Ming Dynasty, and the temporary transfer of troops would gradually become a regular system. Between Xuande, there are two general troops in Shanxi and Shaanxi. In Jiajing, the two general troops of Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, and Huguang were divided into four general troops, and the deputy general troops of Fujian and Baoding were changed to general troops. Wanli time, and the general army was added to Lintao and Shanhaiguan. At the time of the apocalypse, the general army of Shandong Denglai was added. Up to now, more have been added, and it is impossible to remember. The chief military officer replaced the position of the former commander of the capital and became the highest military official in the local area.

In fact, since the development of the system to the present, a large amount of military land has been embezzled by officers, and the vast number of military households have now been promoted to tenants of high-ranking officers, who have been severely exploited by them, and have to bear the tax burden of the state. Not to mention combat effectiveness, survival of such an army is a difficult problem! Taizu was invincible in battle, and the Mongolian guards who fought all over the world have become a huge burden for the Ming Dynasty!

Since the main source of the battalion soldiers was drawn from the guard officers. Since it is very common for the officers of the guards to be transferred to battalion officers, the positions of commanders and envoys in the official positions of the guards are borrowed for the battalion system. In the system of the garrison, the commander of the embassy is the highest official of the local garrison, but the post of the commander of the metropolitan department is quite low as a battalion officer, only higher than the garrison level, below the general, deputy, staff and tour. The battalion officer from the capital division was dismissed and returned to the original guard. So the combat effectiveness of the battalion can be imagined! In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, the governor and governor established pacesetters directly under the central government, and the general generals supported their families. The pacesetter and his family formed a camp alone. The family was the private family of the general, and the cost was initially borne by the general himself, but with the prevalence of the family system, it was also recognized by the imperial court, and the official paid food. The soldiers drawn by the guards have become cannon fodder, and the officers have to rely on a large amount of empty salaries to make up for the money and food needed to support their families! The army that has developed into a large number of families is strong in combat effectiveness, and vice versa is weak.

It's okay for such an army to deal with the rogues! But in the face of the skilled Houjin of the bow horse, just rely on those dozens or hundreds of family members? So it seems that it is often the Houjin army of a few thousand or even a few hundred people who can defeat the tens of thousands of troops of the Ming Dynasty, does the Houjin army really have what they say is invincible? Actually, no, they are just restraining the Ming army in terms of the innate military system! So it looks like the results are brilliant! "Invincible" is the biggest joke! Otherwise, why did the army that had fought in the world for decades face Jiangyin, a small city with less than 100,000 people, but it could not be attacked for a long time, and the siege lasted for 81 days. They were not taken until they ran out of food. Take a look at this historical document! In the summer of 1645, in order to resist the Manchu Qing Dynasty's shaving order, the people of Jiangyin carried out an anti-Qing struggle under the leadership of Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, Feng Houdun and others. Because it is as long as 81 days before and after, it is called "Jiangyin 81 days". After the whole city was martyred, no one surrendered. The heroic deeds of the Jiangyin soldiers who resisted the Qing army, represented by the three princes of Jiangyin against the Qing Dynasty, left a glorious page in the history of China's anti-aggression. The Qing army lost three princes and eighteen generals; Also participating in the siege were Bo Luo (Prince Duanzhong of Qing) and Nikan (Prince Jing Jing of Qing), who were later crowned princes, and Kong Youde, the king of Qing Gongshun; The Qing army of 240,000 soldiers besieged the city with more than 200 cannons, and lost more than 75,000 soldiers in total. In Jiangyin, on the 81st day of defending the city, more than 97,000 people died in the city, more than 75,000 people died outside the city, and only 53 people in Jiangyin survived hiding on the temple tower to save their lives. Do you still think that Houjin is "invincible"? ”

"Jiangyin! Yan Yingyuan! Chen Mingyu! Feng Houdun! Good! Good! Worthy of my people! Chongzhen said happily

Looking at Liu Fan, who was happily Chongzhen, is very helpless now, shouldn't it be sad at this time? It looks like he and Chongzhen are really not on the same channel! In the eyes of the ruling class, it is only the result that is valued, not the process. Human life is a worthless thing in their eyes!

"Let's take a look at the Red Army of later generations. The environment in which the Red Army is located has many similarities with the Ming Army, the same is facing the invaders, and the same conditions are difficult! At the height of the Red Army, it once became an army of less than 30,000 people, but in the face of the Japanese invaders armed with teeth, they were able to develop into an army of millions of people in just a few years! They can fight bravely with rudimentary weapons or even just broadswords and spears when they don't have enough food and clothing, or even no military pay or a small amount of military pay, and when hundreds of people die in formation, the remaining few people will die with the enemy with grenades. And what about the Ming army! In addition to defeat, it is to flee and be killed. Why is there such a big gap? It's because they have faith and know what they're fighting for! They want to protect their loved ones and defend their faith! So they never fear death! Liu Fan said with a sigh

"So the most urgent thing now is to create an army similar to the Red Army, loyal to Your Majesty! As long as there is such a force in hand, anyone who dares to oppose His Majesty will be crushed at that time! Caomin comes from later generations, and has also been in the People's Liberation Army for a few years, and has some understanding of the army, as long as Your Majesty is willing, I can build such an army for Your Majesty, although I dare not say that it is comparable to the army of later generations, but it is no problem in the face of Liukou and Houjin! In order to obtain military power as soon as possible, Liu Fan had to lie that he had been a soldier! In the face of Chongzhen, who has no idea, it shouldn't be difficult to train while studying at that time! Liu Fan thought about it! Anyway, the army is not built in a moment and a half.

"Hmmm! I'll think about it! That's it for today! Chongzhen thought for a moment and said

"Wang Daban! Arrange a place for Mr. Liu! It's in the side hall of the East Warm Pavilion! He turned his head and said to Liu Fan

"Mr. Liu, if the matter is so high, Mr. Grievance will live in the palace first! Closer to my dormitory, I also seem to ask Mr. Liu for advice! ”

"Don't dare! Can't! As long as the grass people have a place to live," Liu Fan hurriedly said

"Okay, Mr. Liu, let's go down and rest first! Wang Daban! Send Mr. Liu to rest! "Yes! Emperor! Mr. Liu, please! Wang Chengen said

When Liu Fan followed Wang Chengen! Chongzhen's face is quite normal, and his face is full of tyranny! "Damn! Damn it! I won't be the king of the dead country! Damn the Prisoner! Damn scoundrels! I won't let you destroy my Daming! No! "Chongzhen frantically smashed everything he could see!

When Queen Zhou, who came to inquire about it, saw it, Chongzhen was already sitting on the ground with his hair disheveled! It's a mess all around! It's like being raged by a storm! Seeing this, Queen Zhou's heart ached, so she hurriedly walked to Chongzhen's side and helped him up.

"Why is the saint like this, what is there to talk to the concubine! The concubine may be able to share the burden for you! Empress Zhou said softly

Chongzhen turned his head to look at his beautiful and dignified wife, grinned, and said with sadness, "Yufeng, Da Ming is dying!" I am a dead king! ”

"Huh? No, it won't! The emperor is diligent and loves the people, and the world knows it! It will be prosperous! How could it be that the country will be destroyed! Queen Zhou was shocked and hurriedly comforted

"But! It's true! I am ashamed of my ancestors and ancestors! The Ming Dynasty has died at my hands! Chongzhen was still full of sadness.

"Why did the emperor suddenly say that?" Empress Zhou's face was full of questions

"Someone just said that they wanted to offer auspiciousness..."Chongzhen said what happened just now

"Do you think I should believe what he says is true?" Chongzhen asked

"According to the concubine, what Liu Fan said is still somewhat credible! The emperor might as well wait, man-made disasters can change, and natural disasters will never change! Let him tell him about the time and place where a few natural disasters occurred, and the emperor will send someone to verify the truth of his knowledge! The queen thought for a moment and said

"Hmmm! That's what I thought, too! ”

"Someone! Tell the Admiral of Dongchang to closely monitor Liu Fan's every move, and report to me immediately if there is anything abnormal! But don't alarm him! Don't interfere with him! I'm out on a business trip and I'll see you there! ”
