Recruitment, many times is not to recruit one person, but to recruit a family.

Looking at these old and young, Zhao Pu felt unbearable in his heart, the army is forbidden to bring family members, but it seems too inhumane to drive these family members out. In desperation, Zhao Pu had no choice but to implement the military household system in advance.

In the Ming Dynasty, the military household system was always criticized by later generations, saying that the military household was not good or bad, and that the military household was a serfdom system in disguise. But in Zhao Pu's eyes, there are still benefits, at least to solve the problem of the army's huge family members, so that the army's combat effectiveness has been improved.

Relying on the military household system, Zhu Chongba defeated the Mongol army and established a strong regime. As for the shortcomings of the military household system in the late Ming Dynasty, it was only because of the lack of supervision, and the lack of supervision would inevitably breed corruption and destroy the entire army.

Zhao Pu is confident that at least while he is alive, the advantages of the military household system outweigh the disadvantages; As for how many drawbacks the military household system will breed after his death, it doesn't matter what happens to him. He only cares about the last twenty years or so, and only cares about how to drive out the invasion of the Jin army and recover the mountains and rivers, as for what will happen in twenty years, or a hundred years later, he doesn't bother to pay attention to it.

What about the so-called sinking of China, what about the invasion of the West, and what about the invasion of the Japanese invaders, those things that are too far away, he doesn't bother to pay attention to them, he just needs to ensure that when he is alive, he will be a good emperor, he can protect his family and defend the country, and he can let the people have a relatively stable life. He didn't bother to worry about future generations and worry about his children and grandchildren.

The prerequisite for the implementation of the military household system is that there is a large amount of land, but if there is no large amount of land, how to divide the land and how to establish the military household system.

Zhao Pu once wanted to acquire a large amount of "illegal land" through some "legal means". However, as soon as I checked the accounts, checked the ownership of the fields of the government, and then looked at some accounts in the shadows, I immediately felt the urge to vomit blood -- if he fought the local tyrants and divided the fields, he, the emperor, would definitely not be able to escape.

He is the largest landowner in Yangzhou, occupying an astonishing amount of land, and about one-eighth of Yangzhou's land is owned by him.

If he is carrying out land reform, he, the emperor, will definitely be "revolutionized"!

I have to say that the Zhao family, as a royal family, is the largest clan today, relying on a politically and economically advantageous position, there is no need to take action in person, and there is a group of dogs under his command who collect money, annex land, and collect benefits from various ways under various names. And some officials, as long as their heads don't cramp, won't trouble these people, so in this situation, the royal family's land, various shops, and various assets continue to expand.

This is just one place in Yangzhou, and there are also many properties in other prosperous areas. Some of them were not found because they were too hidden and separated for too long.

Zhao Pu looked at all kinds of land deeds, and the land that could only be hit with eight poles, and his heart was both excited and frightened. Among these land deeds, three floors belong to the Huangzhuang and are the property of the Ming Estate; And there are seven floors of invisible property, under various names, as the backstage boss.

This is only one Yangzhou, and in other areas of the south of the Yangtze River, there are also imperial annexations.

These are very scattered, originally belonged to the royal family of the Song Dynasty, and not all belonged to him, the emperor. It's just that as the Jin army moved south, a large number of members of the royal family were taken captive, and those who were left behind were also far away, and those who had no power or power, Zhao Pu invisibly accepted these properties and turned them into his own private property.

With land, everything is easy to say.

Rational arrangements can be made to implement the military household system.

In terms of allocating land, formulating specific rules and regulations, and some details, this is no longer something that Zhao Pu can do. He just put forward a simple idea, as for the detailed rules and regulations, how to operate, this is the matter of the ministers, the household department, and the military department. He is the king, only in charge of overseeing and only in charge of checking if there is any covert operation.

So the military household system was implemented.

In the Yangzhou army, there is some taste of experimental fields, and it is irrelevant if it fails, but it can be used for reference if it succeeds, and everything is based on experiments.

The military household system of the Ming Dynasty was between the scarcity of people, and the state taxes were not enough to support the army, so the army could only support itself, with the purpose of saving money and strengthening the army, but it was not mainly for the benefit of the people; The military household system implemented by Zhao Pu was aimed at strengthening the army and protecting the country.

There are many reasons for the low combat effectiveness of the forbidden army in the Song Dynasty, among which the implementation of the conscription system is the biggest reason.

The conscription system is the beginning of the march toward professional soldiers. In feudal society, the implementation of the conscription system was somewhat advanced, either causing warlords to divide their territories, or the soldiers had low combat effectiveness, the former was the Tang Dynasty, and the latter was the Song Dynasty. In an era of extremely high illiteracy, conscription was an extremely dangerous thing to do, either as a result of warlord secession or a deficit in government finances.

The so-called economic base determines the superstructure. In feudal society, those countries that practiced the integration of soldiers and peasants, served as soldiers in wartime and served the people in leisure time, and had relatively strong combat effectiveness, surpassing those countries that practiced the conscription system.

"The people are the way, those who have constant production have perseverance, and those who do not have constant production have no perseverance!"

Historically, the vast majority of rebels were unemployed or landless peasants, who had nothing to worry about because they had nothing; Those peasants who had fields to cultivate, and the common people who had stable occupations, rarely participated in the rebellion, and even if they had grievances, most of them endured, and most of them were the main force that actively resisted the rebels.

Because if you have land, you will have a stable life, and the so-called invasion of the rebels, the so-called barbarian invasion, will often make them lose their land and lose a stable life, which makes them desperately resist.

In short, the implementation of the military household system has given soldiers the will to fight, and with proper training, they will be a strong army. Even if you can't be invincible, you can protect yourself.

The Song Dynasty implemented the conscription system, and the soldiers were to earn money, and where the money was important, so the soldiers were accustomed to fighting with the tailwind, and were good at grabbing credit (grabbing merit, that is, grabbing money), and once they encountered a strong enemy, once they could not overcome it for a long time, their morale would fall, and they would even collapse, and there would be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and hundreds of thousands of people in a rout.

This was unthinkable in the afterlife, but in this day and age, it is the most common.

The military household system implemented in Yangzhou is largely borrowed from the military household system of the Ming Dynasty, but it has changed greatly in some details.

The military household system of the Ming Dynasty was hereditary, and all military households were hereditary. The main task of the guard sergeant of each military household is to serve as a frontal soldier in a fixed guard station, and is called a regular soldier. The children of Zhengding are the second Ding or Yu Ding, and if the Zheng Ding dies, the second Ding and the remaining Ding of the military corpse must be replaced in turn. If the heir of the household is extinct, it must be replaced by the same clan.

That is to say, after the death in battle, there was no subsidy, but continued to send Ding forward, and after the whole family of men died, they had to implicate the same clan. As a military household, you have to farm the land and work hard, as a military family, you will not enjoy preferential treatment, but you will have heavy taxes, and you will be extremely pitiful.

In addition, the status of a military household in the Ming Dynasty was hereditary, and children and grandchildren were required to serve as soldiers, and they were not allowed to engage in commerce, handicrafts, or even the imperial examinations.

The military household system designed by Zhao Pu, the military household must be in the army for generations, one household and one ding, that is to say, if a family is here, at least one of them must go to serve as soldiers, and the rest of the Ding can be businessmen, study and become officials, and can also engage in handicrafts; In short, there must be a Ding to join the army. Once the family lacks a dingkou and does not join the army, heavy taxes are imposed; And once there are fallen soldiers in the family, tax cuts are implemented; If you evade military service without a reason, you can take back the land at least and increase your taxes.

In Yangzhou, the tax per mu is implemented, the poll tax is exempted, and the five are retained; Among them, three layers of tax revenue are reserved for the establishment of free schools, which are mainly free of charge, mainly to improve the literacy rate and reduce the number of illiterates; At the same time, a military training system is implemented in the school, and children and teenagers from military households must participate in a certain amount of military training.

In addition, the focus is on the annexation of land, and the land of military households is not allowed to be bought and sold at will.

The military household system seems to be only military, but it is designed to popularize primary education, apportionment into the acreage, military training and martial arts.

In this way, with the participation of some ministers and military generals, the military household system was hastily finalized and then implemented. As for how many shortcomings there are and how many problems there are, it has just been implemented for two months, and it is not known whether it is good or bad for the time being.

…………

It is winter, the time of leisure, and the army cannot be idle.

The Yangzhou Army is only a box army, and it is only half of the eight-character army in terms of training, but the three major disciplines and eight points of attention must be observed, and it is better for the army to have lower combat effectiveness than to become a disaster army.

After a short period of training, the Yangzhou army has a trace of weather, but its combat effectiveness is really not very good.

On the battlefield, the 50,000 Yangzhou army only needs 5,000 gold troops to defeat it, and it is still necessary to increase the amount of training!

But in any case, the Yangzhou Army has become an army in this way, and there are many problems, and it still needs to be improved. But there is no doubt that the eight-character army will inevitably leave before long. At that time, the Yangzhou army will be the main force guarding Yangzhou, Yangzhou needs them to defend, the main force of the eight-character army will not stay for a long time, as a garrison force, mainly to conquer the Jin army.
