readx; Hundreds of officials gathered at the Temple of Heaven to pray for the New Year, and jointly opposed the compulsory military service system introduced by Zhu Youzhen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Zhu Youzhen was not angry, but just asked them to explain the reasons for their opposition.

Everyone looked at Han Yi, and Han Yi, as the first assistant, had no choice but to take on the role of offending the emperor, and played respectfully: "Your Majesty, since the Hongwu period, our dynasty has been created by Emperor Taizu himself in the military household system, and it has been nearly three hundred years. The ancestral system cannot be lightly changed, this is one of them. The army, the people, the craftsmen, and the stove each have their own business, each with its own strengths, and now His Majesty 'wants' to recruit troops from the people's households, is to abandon their strengths and take their weaknesses, not only the army has no combat power, but the people also reduce the number of people who work, this is the second.

"When people join the army, how do they get paid? How to reduce enslavement? How is the family settled? Such major events are difficult to decide, and even if they are reluctant to comply, their hearts are also uneasy, and this is the third. Hundreds of thousands of households in Beijing, is every household conscripted or 'drawn' households conscripted? If it is a 'draw' levy, who will be levied and who will not be levied? This is the fourth. Clans, lords, nobles, officials, and students, these five are not within the four households, and they are exempted from all servitude according to the regulations. Forced conscription with these five evils will inevitably lead to great 'chaos', but Your Majesty should think about it carefully! ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled after hearing this: "The auxiliary minister is very good, but I have already thought about it. The first reason you mentioned is the ancestral system, but I have checked the historical data, and the household registration system of our dynasty inherited the Yuan Dynasty. The household registration of the Yuan Dynasty is more detailed, in addition to the military, civilian, craftsman, stove four outdoors, there are still station households, medical households, kiln households, Confucian households and other names, Emperor Taizu thought it was too annoying, purely for the "Mongolian" ancients to make the Han people convenient to set up, so "fine" is simply four households. After Taizu, successive dynasties set up registrations under the household, such as official registration, business registration, guest registration, music registration, etc. Therefore, the ancestral system is not completely unchangeable, and it should be determined according to the actual situation. If the ancestral system is rigid, now the business and guest population in Beijing should all be repatriated back to their hometowns, do you think it is okay? ”

All the ministers were speechless in unison. Because if you insist that the ancestral system founded by Taizu cannot be changed, then wouldn't the changes made by the next dozen emperors to the ancestral system become a great rebellion?

In particular, with the development of the times and the economy, the population from all over the country, especially in the south of the Yangtze River, has flocked to Beijing, and now more than one-third of the more than one million people in Beijing are outsiders. Most of these people were businessmen or students, and they relied on their good relations with officials to live in Beijing for a long time. According to the original household registration system, it was impossible to manage at all, so the imperial court later introduced the merchant registration and guest registration system, which was a green light for these people to stay in Beijing.

Now that Zhu Youzhen is in charge of the army, if you don't let me change the ancestral system, then I won't let you change it, and drive all these people away! This is unacceptable to the ministers, because the relationship and interests of the business and guest people are too close to them, and they cannot offend these "close comrades-in-arms".

Zhu Youzhen saw that the ministers could no longer talk about the "ancestral system", and continued: "The second article says that the people are not good at fighting, what I want to say is: Even if you are a genius, the first cry you give birth will never be a good poem. Combat requires training, and if military households do not train, they can only raise a group of wine bags and rice bags; Strict training of civilian households can also produce 'elite' soldiers and strong generals. Not to mention, Li Dingguo and Li Laiheng, who had just quelled the Tusi rebellion in the southwest, were all from civilian households, who dared to say that they couldn't fight? ”

This famous quote of Mr. Lu Xun was quoted just right, leaving the ministers speechless. Zhu Youzhen smiled again: "As for the third article mentioned above, this belongs to the implementation rules, and I am about to discuss it with the secretaries, but it will not hinder the overall situation of conscription." Article 4 is that since it is compulsory military service, every household has the obligation to serve, and if it is not enlisted this time, it will be enlisted next time, and there will always be a time for service. ”

"As for this fifth article," Zhu Youzhen said for a long time, "the auxiliary ministers are reasonable, and I am not the one who insists on going his own way. In this way, I have changed it slightly, and the five categories of clans, lords, nobles, officials, and students are not included in military service. ”

When Zhu Youzhen said this, all the ministers were greatly relieved. In fact, the first four reasons Han Yi said were all to cover this last one, and what they were most concerned about was that their families would not be forced to enlist in the army! Since the emperor gave them this face, and the soldiers of the Houjin army pressed the border, they were indeed afraid that the three major battalions of officers and soldiers would not be able to hold the Beijing division, so they had to reluctantly acquiesce in the compulsory military service system.

In fact, Zhu Youzhen felt quite uncomfortable, and he once again compromised with the official group! Originally, this compulsory military service system was supposed to be for all people to join the army, and the refusal of these privileged classes to enlist undoubtedly seriously undermined the fairness of the system and laid hidden dangers for the future.

But Zhu Youzhen still has to rely on these officials, because they are the ruling class and have a lot of resources at their disposal! Now that the enemy is currently in the present, if you can't get the support of these people, it is difficult to predict the outcome of the battle to defend the Jingshi. The current system is like the ice on the surface of a lake, and if you hit it with a hammer, you may only be able to smash a small hole. But you can't give up because you have little effect, and you can't risk your life to hit your head, just keep beating, and there will always be a time to break the ice.

Without the opposition of the officials, the rest of the matter would have gone much more smoothly. Zhu ordered Xie Sheng to rush to Shuntian Mansion, and "politely" ordered Yin Ruan Dacheng to 'hand' over the household registration book of the Beijing Division. Then it is to follow the map, and to say that it is ugly is to "catch the strong man".

There are hundreds of thousands of households in Beijing, more than 1 million registered population, and a large number of hidden people who are not registered, that is, "black households", and the actual population is probably close to 2 million. Therefore, there is still a relatively large margin for conscription, and Zhu Youzhen let Xie Sheng grasp the following principles: First, as long as they are healthy, those under the age of 28 and over 40 should not be selected as much as possible, and those who have only one male in the third household should also be selected as much as possible. In just three days, 50,000 recruits were recruited, all of whom were incorporated into the "new military camp" and temporarily placed under the command of Xie Sheng.

Of course, Zhu Youzhen will not drive these "strong men" directly to the battlefield, which is tantamount to sending them to death. Because Xie Sheng wanted to control the overall situation of defending the city, he had no time to train recruits, so he 'handed over' this task to his confidant and favorite general, Liu Quanzhong, the commander of the first battalion of the first regiment of the Qin soldiers in the past. Of course, now Liu Quanzhong has been awarded the title of Sanpin General for his merits.

Zhu Youzhen attaches great importance to the training of new recruits. This is not only an imminent war need, but also the first step in establishing a compulsory military service system, which is of great significance to 'stimulating' the people's patriotic 'spirit' and cultivating the atmosphere of "being proud of joining the army" in society.

Liu Quanzhong is no longer the stunned guy in Qinwangzhuang in the past. After several major battles and the deliberate cultivation of victory, this young general is now an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he has the style of solving victory. It's just that the temper still hasn't changed, which is called easy to change, and the original 'nature' is difficult to change.

The training ground of the new military camp is inside the 'gate' of the North Pole of the outer city. When the 50,000 recruits were "assembled" in a chaotic manner, Liu Quanzhong strode up to the point platform, held up a big character in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Do you know this character? ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at it and saw that it was a big "country" character.
