Zhu Houwei's steps to reform maladministration were too fast and too big, so that the Manchu ministers were overwhelmed and at the same time had a deep sense of crisis.

What is this sense of crisis? It is clear that it is the collective interest of the gentry class, and this interest includes many, such as land.

Is Daming's land policy a malpractice? In the eyes of the gentry, it is definitely not, but in the eyes of Emperor Jiajing?

It's hard to say......

Therefore, Yang Tinghe expressed concern to the cabinet elders during his reign, but the emperor did not say anything about the land policy to reform the system, so the elders can only speculate, but it is difficult to declare.

However, all the ministers also feel that the land policy is too involved, and it really involves the whole body, and one bad is the chaos in the world, even if the emperor is confident, it is impossible for him to completely put himself on the opposite side of the gentry and nobles in the world, otherwise I am afraid that even the throne under his ass may not be able to be stable.

This is definitely not alarmist, you must know that the interests of the royal family and the nobles themselves are one, and the royal family rules the world together with the scholars.

It is impossible for any king of great talent to get rid of this, otherwise he would be rootless!

However, now that he has seized the financial power and military power, he already has a strong enough foundation, if he really brazenly acts against the gentry and nobles, and even does not hesitate to cause chaos in the world, then the world's interest class will not have the slightest power to fight back.

This is the most worrying issue of the cabinet, and even after several discussions in the cabinet, it has been felt that the emperor will sooner or later take action on the land policy, but when to do it and how it will be reformed, but there is no bottom.

Now that the emperor suddenly said that the garrison is one of the biggest evils, then Yang Yiqing immediately answered the question, obviously wanting to find out the emperor's bottom.

However, Zhu Houwei obviously didn't intend to talk about this aspect, but just glanced at Yang Yiqing meaningfully and said: "The reason why bad government is bad government is bad government, in my eyes, everything that is harmful to the society and not beneficial, but all policies that are not beneficial to the people are bad government, and you Aiqing don't need to speculate."

Yang Yiqing was a little disappointed, but as the first assistant, it was impossible for him to break the casserole on such an occasion and ask to the end, which was not in line with the forced qualifications of the ministers......

"The army of the Ming Dynasty is mainly composed of three major parts: the forbidden army, the border army and the garrison soldiers, and the border army is stationed on nine sides, but the Wara and Tatar have been on the border several times over the years, plundering countless people and property of my Ming Dynasty, and the border army has won less and lost more with it, what is the reason?

It is nothing more than the lack of combat strength of the soldiers, the lack of blood and bravery, and the fact that the generals support their families, so that the ordinary border soldiers have a lot of grievances, so how can these border soldiers who are treated badly be willing to fight to the death?

Therefore, I let the new army be stationed in the border defense, and strictly forbade the military generals to keep their families, the effect is obvious, and the forbidden army, what kind of goods are the forbidden army, I don't believe that the military department can't see it, but the military department wants to change?

No! Maybe the Ministry of War will say that there is no silver, but since the first year of Jiajing, the Ministry of Household has never been short of silver, so why hasn't the Ministry of War submitted me an effective strategy for strengthening the army?

To put it bluntly, there are too many selfish thoughts, in the eyes of the ministers, it is the Wenchen who immediately fights the world and governs the world on the horse, and the last thing the Wenchen wants to see is that the military attache becomes bigger, which will threaten his status in the court.

However, have you ever thought that the civil and military forces themselves are the king's right-hand men, and without civil officials, the government affairs of the world cannot be governed, but there are military generals, who will protect the territory and the people, relying on lip service? ”

"The minister is ashamed and has no land." Wang Qiong sighed, if he really looked at it according to the emperor's words, he would undoubtedly be incompetent as the secretary of the military department, and he could even be said to be a corpse vegetarian meal.

"I don't mean to blame Wang Aiqing, now that the forbidden army and the border army have been rectified, and the trouble of the grassland is in the construction of the city and trade, and after the new army is stationed, the existence of the border army will also become dispensable, so it's time to change."

Changed again...... The eight important ministers were dizzy to death, and to be honest, they now had a headache as soon as they heard the word reform.

"Wang Aiqing."

"The minister is here."

"The Ministry of War issued a document and transferred the original border troops stationed in Datong, Xuanfu, and Jizhen to return to Beijing, and joined the battalion of the forbidden army for reorganization, and the defense of the six frontiers was taken over by several battalions of the Shence Army that went north last year."

"Obey." Wang Qiong responded to the order, for this will, he has long been mentally prepared, the combat effectiveness of the new army is strong enough, thousands of people are stationed in a defensive line, and the strength does seem to be a little thin, but don't forget, Tatar has been beaten down by Emperor Zhengde, and now Zhengde is still raging in the grassland, not to mention how many remnants of the little prince are left, you go and ask him, even if he still has thirty or forty thousand soldiers and horses, does he dare to go south.

Therefore, the northern border of the Ming Dynasty today is the safest period since Yongle, and since it is safe, there is naturally no need to garrison the male soldiers.

In addition, if Emperor Jiajing's grassland policy can indeed be effective, then the defensive function of the Great Wall will be completely ineffective, and the Great Wall will be useless, so what else will the border army do?

At this time, take a look at the hot air balloon that has been loaded into the box......

With this hot air balloon, will the Great Wall be an insurmountable moat?

Obviously not, Wang Qiong has already given birth to a feeling that the times have changed and he is old.

"As for the garrison...... How do you think it is more appropriate to change it? ”

Yang Yiqing frowned and said, "Your Majesty plans to abolish all the guards in the world?"

"It is an inevitable trend to completely reduce the cantonment troops, but it is impossible for me to cut all the cantonment troops at one time, that is impossible, after all, the local defense force cannot be without, otherwise the bandits will take advantage of the weakness, which is not a good thing for the people."

Yang Yiqing breathed a sigh of relief, what he was afraid of was that the emperor didn't care about it, but now it seems that he is too worried.

"Your Majesty once said that the establishment of military regions in various places, I don't know what this military region means?"

"The military region is the ultimate force of local defense and public security, and the soldiers in the military region are professional soldiers, they do not need to produce, they do not need to farm, the only thing they need to do is to temper themselves, enhance their military capabilities, cultivate and improve their military quality, whether they are on active duty or after retirement, they feel that they are soldiers, real soldiers!"

"Your Majesty means that these soldiers, like the border army, are completely dependent on the financial supply of the imperial court?"

Zhu Houwei nodded.

"Then Your Majesty intends to ...... in various places Military districts, how many garrisons. ”

"Not less than 300,000, not more than 500,000 for the time being."

300,000 to 500,000 ...... According to the average value of 400,000 yuan, the military salary for a month is about 700,000 taels, and the monthly salary is almost 1.2 million yuan for food and military supplies!

Fifteen million a year!

And if you add the border army...... The Forbidden Army's Tiance Army...... In a year, it went to 30 million taels......

In other words, Emperor Jiajing's military reform changed to a strong army, and the amount of silver that could be spent was seven or eight times that of the previous one!

It's so ruthless......
