readx; The reform of the military household system includes two aspects: "army" and "household," and in accordance with Zhu Youzhen's instructions, Gou Mingming and Li Shouyi first started with the relatively easy "army." www.biquge.info In the top novel, there are now 8,000 captives in Luoyang City, and most of these captives are officers and soldiers of various guard posts in Henan. The two of them first singled out the original Ruzhou guard, totaling more than 5,000 people, and verified the identity of the military households and the situation of the military fields according to the archives of the governor's office of the five armies. Of course, Wu was obviously recuperating from his injuries, and these trivial tasks had to be done by Li Shouyi, the commander.

As expected, the situation of the annexation of military land, the shortage of military households, and the empty salary of Ruzhou Wei was also very serious, and over the years, at least half of the land was cleverly seized by officers at all levels. The annexation of military land is different from that of private land, which is a direct delivery of land deeds, while military land is a piece of "public land" under the control of the army as a whole. When land is annexed, "public land" is often used to annex "private land", which seems to be more hidden, but the actual degree of annexation is even more serious than that of private land.

At the same time, Zhu Youzhen seconded 100 Jinyi guards of the 1st Division to interrogate the more than 5,000 soldiers separately. During the interrogation, it was made clear that the emperor's grace was vast, and they would not all be condemned to death because they had worked for Zhu Changxun. As long as there are no other evil deeds, you can continue to be an official and soldier, and the court is not to blame for the past. However, they must turn themselves in or denounce each other's misdeeds, such as murder, money theft, robbery, and other serious crimes. and told them that if they confess and be lenient, their sins will be reduced by one degree; Exposure is meritorious, verification is rewarded.

These more than 5,000 people originally thought that they would definitely die, but now they saw the hope of life, like a drowning person holding a straw, of course, they refused to let go. Now they don't care about protecting others, and in order to save their lives, they have exposed other people's crimes. Of course, these crimes were mainly concentrated on officers of 100 households, 1,000 households, garrisons, guerrillas, and so on; as for ordinary soldiers, it is true that they have done a lot of things to oppress the people, but those who have committed serious crimes are still a minority among the more than 5,000 people.

The interrogation of Jin Yiwei is also very strict, if only one person exposes a certain crime of others, it is generally not accepted, and only three people who expose the same crime at the same time will focus on it. After sorting out the records, those who have the conditions will go to the victim for verification, and those who do not have the conditions to verify will have to "suspect the guilt".

Next, Jinyiwei temporarily detained all the officers and non-commissioned officers who had committed serious crimes, numbering more than 200, in the Luoyang Mansion jail. These people are all soldiers, and according to the "Da Ming Law", local officials have no right to try soldiers, and they are only temporarily imprisoned here. After the rebellion was completely quelled, it was handed over to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, who asked the emperor to appoint officials to interrogate him.

For these more than 200 people, Zhu Youzhen issued an order to directly deprive them of their military status, and their families were no longer military households, but forcibly converted to civilian households. Except for the 10 acres of cultivated land left for each household, the excess cultivated land will be confiscated. Military households have been inherited from generation to generation, and these people's families have been operating in the Luoyang area for a hundred years, and they have been military attaches for generations, so they are the most fierce. Like the two Zhengsi guerrillas, the actual land under their control is not less than 10,000 mu, and now almost all of them have been converted into public land.

Nevertheless, the families of these guilty officers were glad, because if the emperor convicted these people for "conspiracy", it would be buried with the whole family, and all the men would have to lose their heads, and the women would be beaten into lowly status and become official slaves who were worse than death. Now the emperor has also left ten acres of land for each household, which shows that it is not to be wiped out. And as long as it is not dealt with as rebellion, people still have a glimmer of life, so every family is grateful. As for the confiscation of the property, it is all something outside the body, and if it is gone, it will be gone.

In addition to these low-ranking officers, Jinyiwei also conducted a "trial in absentia" of the former senior generals of Ruzhou Wei who were still at large, including a deputy general soldier and three staff generals, and the punishment method was the same as that of other guilty officers, except for confiscation of family property, not family members. Therefore, while getting benefits, Zhu Youzhen's reputation among the people of Henan rose for a while, and everyone vied to praise him as a benevolent monarch.

After dealing with these guilty officers, the next step is to formally form the troops. Li Shouyi announced to the more than 5,000 soldiers according to the plan: The imperial court gave them two choices, one was to continue to be a military household and stay in the army to serve; The second is to disarm and return to the fields and turn them into private households. In the case of private households, the imperial court would set aside a portion of the public land as appropriate and distribute it to families who had too little land as a result of the annexation, ensuring that they could support themselves. Of course, from then on, there will be various assignments.

If you choose to continue to be a military household, it is also different from the military household in the past. Li Shouyi clearly told the soldiers that the newly formed First Division would definitely not be stationed in Luoyang in the future. Even if there is no war, don't want to stay at home, it is absolutely impossible to go home with a single order as in the past.

But this is not the most important thing, the biggest feature of the new military household system is that the military household is no longer hereditary. The specific regulations are: as long as a non-commissioned officer serves, then regardless of whether he is on active duty or retired, his family enjoys the treatment of a military household, and is exempt from military service until the end of his old age. If the soldier sacrifices his life for the country, in addition to the normal pension, the treatment of a military family can be maintained until the widow dies.

However, the son of this non-commissioned officer does not automatically become a soldier, but has to be selected and evaluated. This selection is not limited to military households in the past, but also private households. Only those who pass the assessment will become military households, otherwise they will be civilian households.

As soon as this bold reform measure was announced, it immediately aroused a strong reaction among more than 5,000 soldiers. Their attitudes can be broadly divided into three categories, the first of which is that they intend to change to households. This kind of person was originally a soldier to eat mixed food, and the military family has been passed down from generation to generation, and he can't change it if he wants to. I heard that they will be transferred to other places in the future, maybe they will have to go to the battlefield in Liaodong, these people are as timid as rats, how dare they go to death, and resolutely ask to be converted into civilian households, although they have to bear the service, at least they can eat and eat in peace.

The second category is those who intend to continue to be military households. This kind of people are relatively bold, and they are not very good at farm work, and would rather risk their lives to earn food and wages than drink the northwest wind at home. In addition to being exempt from conscription, the treatment of the new army was also very attractive to them, and Li Shouyi clearly informed them that the salary of ordinary non-commissioned officers was three taels per month, which was paid in full and in a timely manner, and that there would be a salary increase in the future. Although this treatment is far worse than that of Jingying, it is much stronger than half a tael per month in the past, and it is much better than deducting arrears at every turn.

The third group is the centrists, who are afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice as soldiers, and are afraid that they will not be able to starve to death if they cannot farm, so they hesitate. The three types of people each accounted for about one-third, and neither Gou Ming nor Li Shouyi expected that there were so many people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, so they couldn't help but shake their heads angrily. If we continue like this, we will not even be able to make up half of the staff.

After listening to the report of the two, Zhu Youzhen smiled and encouraged: "Don't worry. The soldiers are fine but not many, and the criteria for joining the army must be stricter, and it is useless for those who are not determined to go to the battlefield. You just have to do it, I am a big country with a population of hundreds of millions, so why not have enough soldiers! ”
