Old White Cow: There are my book friends in the world, look at the day, I will sort it out. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Another: Looking at the outline, there is still a lot of content that has not been written, and I decided to speed up the plot and strive to finish the book before the end of the year. Happily, the most important impression in my heart, the thing I want to write the most, has been partially expanded.

……

Everyone in the hall was awe-inspiring in their hearts, everything they did was based on having Han nationality, according to the general's explanation, non-Han nationality, no military membership, not to mention political and other rights, in many aspects, they were still restricted, not to mention Yi nationality, more restrictions.

For the Ming people and others, why did the Jin merchants and others have such a big impact? It is because of the collusion between officials and businessmen that their officials are businessmen, and businessmen are officials.

Of course, this is inseparable from the fact that they have the power to engage in politics, the military, and engage in culture, if they are simply businessmen, no matter how rich they are, they are also fat pigs, not to mention that they do not have any threat, let alone have such influence in history.

is not a Han nationality, and even many businesses and industries cannot participate, which invisibly increases the superiority and centripetal force of the people under the rule.

For many Han Chinese, it does not mean that they can sit back and relax after becoming naturalized.

If they have a wrong position, an improper buttocks, and do things that endanger the Han nation, they will be ruthlessly eliminated, and they will also affect their families and clansmen, and lose everything they have, which can make everyone maintain a sense of crisis, and will not think that they deserve everything they have now, and lose their gratitude.

Wang Dou has always believed that ancient China did a good job in assimilating aliens, but there was no elimination mechanism, which was a shortcoming.

"My shogunate will also set up a silver money department, which will specialize in issuing food stamps, as well as silver dollars, and be in charge of the money bank's official store!"

Seeing that Zhang Gui, the ambassador of the Department of Civil Affairs, immediately had a bitter face, and the ambassador of the Financial Secretary, Zhong Rong, was thoughtful, and the rest were everyone. With a look of staying out of the matter, Wang Dou's expression was calm.

The food stamps were introduced by the Department of Civil Affairs, Zhang Gui and others. The contribution is indispensable, with Zhang Gui's successful experience in front, the Shogunate's financial secretary, and soon launched a money bank. It is used to lend money to domestic businessmen and encourage investment in industries.

The functions of the two actually overlap. Moreover, between the Department of Civil Affairs and the Department of Finance, there is also an open and secret fight, Zhang Gui thinks that the money village should be under the management of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Zhong Rong believes that the food stamps should be under the function of the money bank.

Now it's all right. Everyone is gone, they are all separated, Zhang Gui glared at Zhong Rong angrily.

For Wang Dou, after careful consideration, it is still the issuing agency that decides on the banknotes. It should be independent, and as a traverser, an obvious advantage is that there are a lot of successful experiences in later generations to learn from.

At present, many military and civilian people in Donglu, Xuanzhen, and even Xuanda Sanzhen have accepted the food stamps on Donglu.

Of course, it does not mean that all places in Xuanda can accept a bill, many people still recognize silver and copper coins, and even prefer to barter, not to mention other places in Daming, the East Road food stamps, the impact is even weaker.

Therefore, in order to expand the influence of the shogunate in the future, a new currency will inevitably be issued, Wang Dou thought about it and thought about it, or decided to issue silver dollars and copper dollars for the use of food stamps in the influence of the outer area, of course, it is also possible to use it in the influence area.

At present, the Ming Dynasty can be described as a flood of private money, not only the central government, but also the local provinces, all kinds of silver and copper coins are available, and the quality of each is unsightly, and the people are miserable.

In this regard, although the imperial court has repeatedly ordered and reaffirmed, let alone the private money dealers, it is the provincial money bureaus, which have made special coins on a large scale, so that Chongzhen Tongbao has become the most diverse and complex coin in the history of Chinese currency, and in the end, only the interests of the court and the people are damaged.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Dou planned to issue a high-quality and low-quality currency to sweep through the coins and increase the economic influence of the shogunate.

Regarding silver coins, when Chongzhen was four years old, he also planned to issue them, but due to the condition and the provinces imitated the indiscriminate minting, they soon declared bankruptcy, and the fate of the silver coins that flowed into China in previous dynasties was the same.

The different fineness, no order, many unsightly appearance, poor quality, is the main reason why silver coins used to be difficult to circulate in China, so the government and merchants would rather melt and cast into silver ingots, of course, there are some factors such as fire consumption in it.

The issuance of silver dollars and copper dollars is a major event, and what kind of fineness, how much silver, how much copper, and how many denominations need to be carefully studied, so Wang Dou plans to start this matter after arriving in the town.

"Finally, the shogun decided that each ambassador of the Shogunate should be appointed as a chief officer, with one term of five years and a maximum of two terms, and the date on which the shogunate was established was counted. The same is true for the battalion owners, who will be transferred every five years, up to two terms! ”

Everyone in the hall was almost in an uproar, if it was said that the general had adjusted and increased the divisions before, everyone was still sitting as steady as Mount Tai, and the general was shocked, and suddenly threw out such a heavy bomb, and many people couldn't sit still.

This is a typical capable person up, mediocre people down, if you hold the idea of peace of mind, when will your position be no longer guaranteed, calculated from the establishment of the shogunate, how much time has passed?

Seeing everyone talking in horror, Wang Dou nodded, this reaction, within his expectations, the vitality of politics lies in the flow, maintaining the circulation up and down, and the alternation of talents.

Often an empire that has been inherited for hundreds of years is occupied by a large number of nobles and powerful people, controlling the country, cutting off the hope of the bottom people to rise, resulting in resentment, the Anshi Rebellion is caused by many reasons, but the magistrate will not be able to be the prime minister, but it is one of them.

If the ministry is lifelong or long-term, it will inevitably make everyone obsolete and degenerate in their bones, or have unwanted thoughts, which Wang Dou does not want to see, and he must cut off the opportunity for everyone to have ambitions at the first time.

In Wang Dou's view, in fact, Daming's cabinet system is already very good, walking in the forefront of the world at this time, but there is an obvious shortcoming, that is, the first assistant and cabinet members, there is no clear term of office, which is also one of the reasons why the fierce competition is fierce and there is no lower limit.

Because, they have denied the hope of many ministers to rise, and naturally they will do everything for the sake of power.

With a term of office, more outstanding ministers can be included in the list of leading the country, and more outstanding talents will be selected, so as to avoid the phenomenon of tilting power towards the government and the opposition.

And because of the existence of the Military Training Department and a series of systems, at present, the role of famous generals in the battalions of the Jingbian Army has been reduced to the weakest, and there is no need for soldiers to be used as generals. Any main general can fight very well, but he can't fight well. It won't be a bad fight either.

For example, in England in history, the era of the fastest expansion of power is an era of mediocrity, so. According to the Jingbian military training system, Wang Douda could rotate the generals to reduce the generation of warlord ideas or forces.

Of course. In other Ming armies, this is absolutely impossible, that is, for the Jingbian army, this move has advantages and disadvantages, on the whole, the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages, so Wang Dou decided to implement it.

Look at the horrified faces of everyone. Wang Dou said lightly: "Okay, don't be shocked, I am also for the good of all my brothers, right now my house, my army." It is the time of vitality, as long as you work hard, the future prospects, all brothers can predict! ”

Zhong Xiancai stood up abruptly and said loudly: "No matter how determined the general is, the last general will obey." ”

Only then did everyone react, and they all sighed: "Xiao Zhong'er's reaction is getting more and more agile." ”

Wen Fangliang followed the second and said: "The general sets the term of office, and the generals are rotated, it is indeed for the good of the brothers, for the good of the shogunate and the Jingbian army, and the last general will follow the general's decision." ”

Then the officials reacted and agreed.

The general misses the old and kind, that is, he will not be able to keep up with the development of the group in the future, and he must retire when the time comes, and it is certain that he will enjoy the glory and wealth.

Of course, there needs to be Wang Dou's group alive at that time.

What reassures everyone is that with this move, there will be no rabbits and dead dogs in the future, and birds will be hidden.

Indeed, as the general said, it is for their good and the greatest protection for them.

Wang Dou snorted lightly: "Okay, all the brothers are reasonable, Dou is also here to say it, and he will not treat everyone badly." ”

He raised his hand in the Chinese case and said in a loud voice: "At present, my shogunate is getting stronger and stronger, and the army and people under my command are more numerous, and we need to use our swords to escort our ideals!" ”

Seeing that everyone was excited, he said: "In addition, I am the chief soldier of Xuanfu, so the time has come to expand the army again!" ”

……

Excluding Tunding Qingzhuang, the Jingbian Army, the original forward Zhuque Battalion, the left guard Qinglong Battalion, the right guard White Tiger Battalion, the rear guard Xuanwu Battalion, and the Chinese army, the total number of the whole army was more than 20,000, and Wang Dou decided to increase it to more than 50,000 people.

Originally, according to the financial resources of Donglu Road, he couldn't afford to raise so many soldiers and horses, but fortunately, he served as the chief soldier of Xuanfu Town, greatly expanded his territory, and confiscated a lot of wealth from each family, so he could still afford to raise 50,000 soldiers and horses.

In the planning of Wang Dou and the General Staff Division, the four battalions of the cavalry were expanded into four armies, and they were still called Qinglong, Baihu, Xuanwu, and Vermilion Bird.

Each army has two or three battalions, divided into first-class battalions, second-class battalions, etc., and there are more than 7,000 to 10,000 people in the first army.

Drawing on the experience of the battle of Liaodong, Wang Dou decided to equip all battalions of cavalry with artillery, and each battalion had a cannon headquarters, equipped with Hongyi cannons, and Fulang machine guns, not to mention the military headquarters.

The Liaodong Army's Baizi Gun made Wang Dou quite interested, and he would also equip some of them, as well as mortar cannons, which fired poisonous smoke and ash bombs, which were light in weight and powerful, and Wang Dou also planned to equip them.

Each battalion has a special escort team.

After many years of research, the flintlock pistols produced by the East Route Military Factory generally have a blind firing rate of only 8 or 9 percent, which is slightly higher than the blind firing rate of arquebuses by 3 or 4 percent.

In addition, the flintlock pistol has obvious advantages, and the generals in the army have slowly accepted the existence of self-generated firearms, so Wang Dou plans to equip them on a large scale, and the replaced arquebuses can be bought and sold, or left for the use of the Tunding reserves.

The sword will also be equipped with a part to see how effective it is.

Expanding the establishment and upgrading weapons is a step, and Wang Dou's most important idea is to decide to set up a rank in the army, not only soldiers, but also various literati and scribes and officials of the shogunate, who also have orders and enjoy different treatment.

"Ranks, clarify the treatment and etiquette of soldiers, integrate military ranks, loose ranks, and medals, so that the soldiers of our Jingbian Army pay more attention to their achievements and achievements, rather than their ancestors."

Wang Dou said loudly.

At present, the Ming Dynasty, regardless of the official and military generals, after entering the officialdom, can obtain the rank according to the grade, and those who are outstanding can get the rank of medal.

However, before the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the scattered rank and the rank of honor have become synonymous with Jiafeng.

In the end, Yulu is not linked to the loose rank and the rank of honor, so the people of later generations can be familiar with the title of the Ming general's thousands of households, hundreds of households, guerrillas, generals, and general soldiers, but they don't know the meaning of the light car captain and the cavalry captain behind them.

Therefore, Wang Dou decided to make a change, linking the soldiers under his command and their positions with the generations behind them such as loose ranks and ranks, so as to enhance their honor and actual gains.

The Jingbian Army, like the other departments of the Ming Dynasty, can be divided into several levels: small soldiers, A Commander, Team Officer, General General, Thousand General, Guerrilla, Staff General, Deputy General, and General Soldier.

Therefore, according to the rank of the military, Wang Dou made the following decision, setting up three levels: captain, captain, and general.

The rank of a soldier is the third rank of corporal, sergeant, and sergeant, and if an ordinary soldier is a corporal, a sergeant is a sergeant, and a sergeant is a captain, corresponding to the third class of skills.

If there is a captain and a deputy officer, he may be awarded a brigadier lieutenant.

The officer of the team may be awarded the rank of captain, and if there is an officer and deputy commander, he may be awarded the right lieutenant, and the commander may be awarded the rank of left lieutenant.

If there is a general and deputy general officer, he can be awarded the rank of brigadier.

General Qian can be awarded the captain, the guerrilla can be awarded the right lieutenant, the general can be awarded the left lieutenant, and the deputy general can be awarded the captain.

In the Jingbian Army, only the general soldier can be awarded to the general, which is divided into right generals, left generals, generals, and generals.

Because the garrison is not included in the battalion establishment, it is generally divided into garrisons, depending on the situation, leading the army with more than 1 or 2,000 horses, which is considered to be in charge of one place, so it is the same as the guerrillas, and can be awarded the right captain.

The setting of these ranks, Wang Dou referred to the Ming Dynasty martial arts ranks, martial arts system, but if according to the Ming Dynasty martial arts ranks, a thousand generals, can be awarded to the general, it is really a lot of captains like dogs, and the generals are all over the ground, so give up.

According to the Ming martial arts system, soldiers below the rank of officer have no merit reference, and Wang Dou does not like the titles of Protector, Zhuguo, Guanglu Doctor, etc., so he still neutralizes it, and lowers it, and sets up three levels of corporal, sergeant, and sergeant, and four levels of generals at the top.

After awarding the general, you can add all kinds of American names and honorific titles, but unfortunately, at present, there is no general under Wang Dou.

Of course, just like the newspaper release, Wang Dou did not plan to immediately promote the rank in the army, but only posthumously awarded the soldiers who died in the past, the soldiers who retired due to injuries, and the generals and soldiers who had made outstanding achievements in the army.

In this way, their corresponding treatment, rewards, and meritorious service points are different, and they can attract more soldiers.

On the ninth day of the first month of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the Jingbian army camp.

After the guard of honor marched neatly, the fire bell sounded, the spring cold was steep, and in the cold wind, on one side were the officers and men of the Jingbian Army who were neatly arrayed, and on the other side were the densely packed Liaodong battle, as well as the families of the soldiers who had been killed and injured in the past, and in addition, there were many people who came to watch the ceremony.

Li Xiaoniangzi held back her tears, and her son Han Hou stood beside her obediently, next to Zheng Niangzi and others, and next to her, there were Yang Tong's widow Liu and others.

On the high platform in front of him, a faint voice came: "Posthumously...... Han Zhong, Zuo Du Wei Xun Rank, Yang Tong...... Right Lieutenant Rank ......" (To be continued.) )
