When it comes to the military system, I have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the begging monk, after the old Zhu became the emperor, he felt the heavy burden of supporting a huge army for the country, he adopted the world military system (that is, the military household system), and implemented the tuntian system. According to the regulations, the border army guards the city in three points and the tun in seven points; The inland army is divided into two to defend the city, and eight is divided into tun. Each soldier was given a share of the land, and the government provided cattle, farm tools, and seeds, and handed over grain according to the portion.

Lao Zhu was still very satisfied with this idea, and he once said to shǒu: "I raise millions of soldiers, but it doesn't cost the people a grain of rice." ”

But to be honest, Lao Zhu's idea is good, but the sustainability of such a hereditary military household system is very poor. It was even more unsuccessful than the Tang Dynasty's government and military system. It is human nature for people to go to high places, but Zhu Yuanzhang forcibly restrained the space for military households to go up, coupled with the corruption of officers, so the decline of the military household system is inevitable. In the Jiajing period, the Ming Weisuo army was defeated in ten battles and nine times in the anti-Japanese battle, and only a few thousand Japanese soldiers could be killed in Nanjing.

Under such circumstances, the conscription system inevitably surfaced, and the advantages of the conscription system were much greater than those of traditional military households. Compared with the world military system, the conscription system has many advantages, because there is room for selection in recruitment, and it is completely qualified to select young and middle-aged people. The salary of the recruited soldiers is one or even several times higher than that of the Weisuo army, and the management is good, so that the soldiers can serve with peace of mind, and the army is relatively stable, so in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, all the armies that can fight are composed of recruited soldiers, such as the most famous "Qijia Army", "Guanning Iron Cavalry" and so on.

However, there is also a prerequisite for the conscription system, that is, the imperial court must have sufficient money financially, otherwise it will not be able to support a large professional army.

In the Nuanxiang Pavilion, Yue Yang sat on a stool and talked about the sources and respective advantages and disadvantages of the hereditary military household system and the recruitment system since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and finally said: "The art of war has clouds, and the victory is won by the changes of the enemy. After hundreds of years, the Ming military system has reached a time when it has to be changed. For example, the original guard did play a very important role in the early Ming Dynasty, but what has become of the guard house today I believe Your Majesty is also very clear, to put it mildly, today's guard house military households have been gone. The rest have become farmers who can only farm. The military fields have all become the private fields of the officers of the guards, so what is the use of such a guard?

It is better for the minister to think that my Ming should adopt the military recruitment system, and the military system should also be reformed accordingly. For example, sergeants and generals should be given corresponding military ranks in addition to their positions, and the army should no longer use the names of general, chief, hundred, and thousand, but should adopt new titles. For example, the division-level unit that the minister just mentioned is one of them. ”

Hearing this, Chongzhen and Lu Xiangsheng were already dumbfounded, Yueyang, where is this to change the military system, he is clearly trying to break up the old military system and re-establish a new military system.

Lu Xiangsheng first raised his own question, "Marquis Yue, although the military households of the Ming Dynasty have all collapsed, there are still many officers and soldiers of the guard, once the guard is completely abolished, then it will inevitably cause a big mess, what should the court do?" ”

"Big mess?" Yue Yang sneered: "What big mess can there be?" These guards have now become tumors that have been sucked on Da Ming's body. If you don't cut off these tumors quickly, then sooner or later, Da Ming will be dragged into the abyss again by these tumors! ”

Hearing this, Chongzhen and Lu Xiangsheng stopped talking, one of them was the emperor and the other was the secretary of the military department, and the disadvantages of the guard system were naturally well understood. But if it is a one-size-fits-all approach like Yue Yang said, they are afraid of causing chaos.

Looking at Lu Xiangsheng and Chongzhen, who were silent, Yue Yang also knew that the stakes were so high that they couldn't make a decision for a while, so he had to shake his head helplessly, anyway, he had already done what he could do, and the rest was up to them.

This meal was indifferent to Chongzhen and Lu Xiangsheng, and while they were eating, they were thinking about what Yue Yang had just said. Yue Yang is right, the military system of the Ming Dynasty has reached the point where it has to be changed. Originally, in the early Ming Dynasty, the guards and military households who could still hand over grain to the imperial court have now become the burden of the imperial court, not only do not pay the grain, but also reach out to the imperial court every year to ask for grain and silver. This is a no-go.

When the meal was about to end, Chongzhen picked up the silk scarf and wiped the corners of his mouth and said to Yue Yang: "Yue Aiqing, what you said today about changing the military system is too important, I need to discuss with the cabinet and the ministers before I can decide, it is up to you to ......."

Just as Chongzhen was speaking, a rush of footsteps came from outside. Soon, a sharp voice sounded outside the door: "Your Majesty, a group of nobles led thousands of soldiers of the Beijing camp suddenly came to the gate of the palace and shouted grievances outside, saying that they wanted to implore the emperor to take back his order, not to revoke the establishment of the Beijing camp, and to give tens of thousands of soldiers of the Beijing camp a way to live!" ”

"What?"

As soon as he heard this, not only Chongzhen, but also Lu Xiangsheng and Yue Yang also showed shocked expressions.

"Lawlessness...... It's really lawless! At this time, Chongzhen was so angry that his body trembled, he really didn't expect these people to dare to come to the palace gate, so this matter is going to make a big fuss, and tomorrow those officials and ministers don't know what to make a name for.

"Lu Aiqing, Yue Aiqing, you two go to the front with me to take a look, I want to see what kind of fame these people can make!"

"Your Ministers obey!" Lu Xiangsheng and Yue Yang stood up and bowed to Chongzhen and obeyed.

At the same time, outside the palace gate, a group of nobles stood at the palace gate, and behind them were thousands of ragged soldiers of the Beijing camp, who were constantly shouting for the emperor to take back his order, and a group of people shouted and shouted there into a mess.

The immigrant boy in a fancy costume shouted while raising his hand and asked his companion next to him, "Will we annoy the emperor by making such a fuss, if the emperor is angry, we won't be able to eat and walk around." ”

"What are you afraid of!" The companion next to him raised his hand and shouted a few words, and then whispered to his companion: "The sky is falling, the tall man is on top, and there is the support of the British duke, even if it is punished, we can't blame it." Besides, if the emperor wants to abolish the Beijing camp, it will cut off the financial route of the brothers, don't you know, the old man of my family has given me less and less monthly money these days, and I only had less than fifty silver dollars last month, which is not enough for me to visit the Shaolin abbot after the 80s. ”

"yes!"

The companion next to him also nodded and said: "Our brothers are also difficult brothers, although there is not a lot of oil and water in Beijing, and most of the head has been taken away by the British public, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat, and those benefits are at least enough for the brothers to drink a few meals of flower wine, and these silver must not be lost." ”

As they spoke, the two raised their hands and shouted to the people next to them, for these people, they didn't care whether the silver should be taken or not, and whoever dared to cut off their wealth was their enemy.

But these nobles are not all stupid, they shout and carefully observe their surroundings, and if something goes wrong with them, they will immediately flash people.

Just as they were shouting, the closed palace door suddenly opened, and then a group of guards in full clothes ran out of it, and behind these guards were dozens of eunuchs carrying a tall dragon and walking towards them. The guards walked up to them and left and right, revealing the dragon behind them, which had been lowered a hundred paces from them.

Seeing the arrival of the dragon, all the nobles who were shouting happily all stopped, and the soldiers behind all stopped when they saw that the leader stopped shouting.

At this time, a middle-aged eunuch stepped forward two steps and shouted: "Long live the Lord has arrived, everyone should not hurry up and take over!" ”

As soon as the eunuch's words fell, these nobles looked at each other for a moment, and they all knelt down and said in a loud voice: "The ministers see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" As these people knelt, the soldiers of the Beijing camp behind also knelt on the ground.

As these people's words fell, Chongzhen also slowly walked down from the dragon. Looking at the crowd of people kneeling in front of him, the anger in his heart immediately exploded.

"You ...... Are you still my noble relatives! You see...... Everyone shouts loyalty and patriotism on weekdays, is this how loyal and patriotic you are? Who is the one who takes the lead today, stand up for me! ”

Seeing Chongzhen angry, these people are all stunned, one by one, you look at me, I see that you are all silent.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Chongzhen became even more angry, and he shouted angrily: "What...... Do you dare to do it but dare not say it? You're really a good man, if you don't dare to say it, forget it, let me go home, and don't blame me for being rude if anyone makes trouble again! ”

Hearing this, someone shouted boldly: "Your Majesty, if it's not that Weichen and others want to make trouble, it's really that Yueyang is going to cut off the way of life for the ministers, if the Beijing camp is abolished, then the thousands of soldiers in the Beijing camp will have no way to live!" ”

Chongzhen, who was about to go back, immediately asked when he heard this: "Who is it that speaks, stand up for me!" ”

Soon, a young man in his twenties, with a somewhat pale face, stood up and knelt down to Chongzhen and said loudly: "Minister Li Hongliang knocks to see Your Majesty." ”

"Li Hongliang?" Chongzhen frowned and thought for a while before saying, "You are the kid from Uncle Yongyi's family, right?" ”

"The emperor has a good memory!" Li Hongliang hurriedly flattered.

"Okay, even you're here to join in the fun!" Seeing the young man in front of him, Chongzhen's face became even more ugly. (To be continued.) )
