"That's a good point." Zhu Houwei was waiting for this sentence, so he praised and shouted: "What the generals do is nothing more than supporting the army, raising the army, and plotting rebellion, and it is difficult to control these kinds of things, and the premise of these kinds is the loyalty of the soldiers."

The generals of the Ming Dynasty like to keep their families, and the generals never deduct the salaries of the families, and the families do not need to work to be able to worry about food and clothing, which is the general's means of showing grace.

The reason for the grace is that the generals want their command to ensure that there are a number of troops with combat effectiveness, so the soldiers who are not family members will not be looked at by the generals at all, and for these soldiers, there is not much difference between their existence and non-existence.

Daming spends two or three million taels of silver every year to feed hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses on the nine sides, but in fact? Only tens of thousands of families can really get their military salaries.

Therefore, these family members will be loyal to the generals, because what people like most is comparison, and the comparison between family members and non-family members is easy to have a sense of superiority, and this sense of superiority is given by the generals, so the object of family allegiance is their respective commanders.

These family members will not consider that the money they get in their hands comes from the imperial court, so they have no sense of belonging to the imperial court, and naturally there is no sworn allegiance to the imperial court.

At this time, if the general has ambitions, or is encouraged by a certain careerist, the soldiers will blindly obey, and even fantasize that they will be crowned marquis with the merit of the dragon.

Therefore, I abolished the family system, whether it is the Shence Army, the Tiance Army or the generals of the garrison army on the nine sides, their families will all be broken up and mixed, and whoever wants to raise a family will be punished for deliberately plotting against them!

It is not terrible for generals to want to make trouble, after all, power and strength are the easiest to breed ambitions, but how to make the soldiers in the world loyal to the king, and how to make the soldiers in the world be recognized by the people, is the court, is the main point that the ministers should consider.

The people of the Ming Dynasty do not have a high degree of recognition of the army, why is this so? It stands to reason that soldiers defending their homes and defending the country should be supported by the people, but it is not uncommon for soldiers to plunder and kill good people, and if such soldiers can still be loved by the people, it is called a joke.

You are all important ministers of the imperial court, and you are burdened with the weight of the society, and it is your duty to make the Ming Dynasty and the people safe, so I want to ask, how can we make the people support the army and protect the army, and how can we make the army in the world loyal to the court! ”

The three important ministers looked at each other, the words of the Son of Heaven were thought-provoking, and the three of them were deeply touched, not that the three of them were unwilling to think about such a problem before, but they never thought about it.

In the eyes of the literati, martial arts is synonymous with vulgarity, is the source of social turmoil, want to influence them is not impossible, but too difficult, rather than spending that effort, it is better to cultivate the loyalty of the generals, after all, as long as the generals swear allegiance to the death, naturally there will be no mutiny.

The meaning of the Son of Heaven is just the opposite, he needs the allegiance of military generals, but what he needs more is the allegiance of ordinary soldiers, and even the importance of soldiers is far above that of generals.

This undoubtedly subverted the inherent cognition of the three of them, and even made them feel that the Son of Heaven's move was completely sacrificing the basics.

But now that the Son of Heaven asked, the three of them couldn't help but answer, so after a pause, Yang Tinghe sighed and said, "A sense of belonging."

It was just three words, but he also answered extremely thoroughly, worthy of being the first assistant of the cabinet, and he hit the nail on the head with one sentence.

Wang Qiong's brows furrowed, he understood what the Son of Heaven meant, if you want the army to be loyal, you must cultivate the army's sense of belonging to the imperial court, rather than being instigated by the generals and getting hot.

The simplest and most direct way to make the army have a sense of belonging to the imperial court is to show grace to the Son of Heaven.

There is no doubt that the new system of the death of the Son of Heaven was one of the means of showing grace, and his withholding of the pension money naturally hindered the Son of Heaven's benevolence plan.

However, Wang Qiong still disagreed, because he still felt that the Son of Heaven was purely doing useless work, thinking that just like this, he could make the world's soldiers return to their hearts?

There may be some effects, but it's still too early to get back to the heart.

Of course, the soldiers in the world themselves are loyal to the king, so is it really so important to return to the heart?

If the generals want to rebel, the army can be pacified, and then the nine clans are not enough to deter the arrogant generals in the world?

Of course, it is equally important to suppress military with literature, every time there is a war, the civilian official is the supervisor, and the eunuch is the supervising army, of course, it is best not to supervise the army, so that even if the general is ambitious, as long as he does not have the determination to break the net, how dare he rebel!

The Great Song Dynasty is noble and light, so for more than 300 years, there have been no generals to trouble the world, of course, the Great Song Dynasty has been fighting since the beginning of the country, and the generals do not have the strength even if they want to mess up.

Wang Qiong, as a scholar of the military department and an elite among Confucian scholars, even if his thoughts are not so stubborn, some ideas are impossible to shake easily.

He is different from the Seven Elders of the Cabinet, after the Seven Elders went to Tongzhou to follow the Son of Heaven, they have forcibly opened another world in their minds, and they also recognize how terrifying the so-called tricks and tricks they look down on will be if they are developed to the extreme.

This is an impact on the concept, and it also makes the Seven Elders realize a reality, that is, Confucianism can govern the country, but if you want the Ming Dynasty to be more advanced and stronger, then Confucianism alone is really not enough.

Of course, this kind of thought can never be talked about by the Seven Elders.

"The sense of belonging ......" Zhu Houwei said with a faint smile on his face: "I have always sought ways to cultivate a sense of belonging to the army, and I also believe that one day, the army under this world will inevitably become the foundation of the pillar country to defend the Ming Dynasty, and I believe that the army will become the object of love and support of all the people in the world."

Wang Qiong couldn't help but speak: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the disasters of military generals are endless, Your Majesty must not guard against it."

Zhu Houwei was speechless, Wang Qiong's stubborn concept seemed unlikely to be changed, in his eyes, martial artists were untrustworthy, and they were the ones who should be stepped on under their feet.

"The disaster of the generals......" Zhu Houwei shook his head and said: "Then I want to ask Wang Qing, there are many disasters of the generals recorded in history, so what about the difficulties of the civil ministers?"

Wang Qiong is suffocated, is it difficult for Wenchen? What does the Son of Heaven want to express?

Yang Tinghe and Yang Yiqing's faces suddenly became extremely solemn, and the two of them knew why they felt that the Son of Heaven did not like Confucianism, and maybe there would be an answer today.

"I once heard a saying, this is to say that history is a little girl dressed up by others, what will become in the end, it depends on how the person who dresses her to paint for her, since ancient times, literati have controlled the pen in their hands, this pole is the brush, how to dress up history, how to avoid the important and light, to put it bluntly, it is the historian ......"

"Your Majesty!" Wang Qiong stood up suddenly, and even spoke directly, interrupting Zhu Houwei's words extremely rudely!
