When Huo Weihua heard the data of the health centers in various places released by the Royal Bureau of Statistics, he already knew that the health centers were destined to not be saved.

Among them, the biggest problem is not only the loss of personnel, but to the extent that the health system is occupying a lot of resources in the Ming Dynasty, and has not played its role.

There may be doubts, didn't the health center system claim to be used when it was established to feed millions of soldiers without spending a penny?

Why even say that he will take up a lot of resources?

Even if it is erosive, even if it is useless, isn't the court still spending money?

However, the military household guards that occupied a large amount of land could no longer create any value for the imperial court, and of course this has to be said why did the guard system collapse?

The main factor is money.

During the Hongwu period, the Ming Dynasty was extremely strong, and during the Yongle period, the Ming Dynasty was even stronger.

At that time, the Daming Guard was a good errand that outsiders could not envy, first of all, the military households in the guard were to contribute to the Ming Dynasty for generations, that is to say, this was an errand that could continue from generation to generation.

And there is no tax on farming, and there is no need to serve conscription, and the imperial court has additional subsidies every year, although it is not much, it can make the life of military households good.

But then that changed.

Military households not only had to be bullied by the chief of the guard, but also occupied their own land, making the officers of the guard completely become landlords in disguise.

The military household also became the domestic slave of the officer of the guard, and the grain produced must first be given to the chief of the guard, and he must also bear the military rations needed by the imperial court for war, pay taxes, and deal with the additional corruption of officials.

Not to mention that the state subsidy is gone, I still have to live...

In this case, the military households can't survive, and you still say that he can't change his nationality, and you want his family to continue to serve the Ming Dynasty for generations, but in the eyes of these military households.

This is no longer a question of eating the royal grain and planting the royal land.

This is to accompany the funeral of the imperial court.

So they turned into birds and beasts one after another, even if they were desperately at the risk of being caught, it was impossible to do it anymore.

At this point, the health system gradually began to collapse and collapse.

It has gradually evolved into a very vague local armed force of the Ming Dynasty, saying that he exists, and it does exist, but when it really comes to the time when you need to use it, it is strange that you can't die.

Zhu Youzhen is eager to solve the current embarrassing situation.

But in the eyes of other ministers, there are more problems here, not to mention that in fact, the most serious erosion of Wei is not at other times, it is the previous apocalypse.

You must know that although the Wanli Dynasty has begun to relax the control of local guards in various places.

But in general, the persecution was not too serious, but the Apocalypse was not, and in just a few years, the local health centers collapsed during this period.

What's more, after the military families fled, they went to the mountains to become bandits, which is also a major cause of banditry in the Ming Dynasty today.

These military households, which are armed with better equipment and have a certain combat capability, and even have some reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance capabilities, have fallen into the grass one after another, with the result that most of the prefectures, counties, and provincial governments are not capable of suppressing bandits at all.

"I was thinking about how to solve the shortcomings of the guards that the Ming Dynasty had deposited for a long time, and at the same time be able to give full play to the surplus value as much as possible, so after many meetings... I decided that from now on, the Daming Guard House system will be completely abolished and all will be restructured into military reclamation farms. ”

And as soon as these words came out, Huo Weihua knelt heavily on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must not abolish the guard station on such a large scale!" This move will surely shake the foundation of our dynasty! ”

And Huo Weihua was even more displeased with Zhu Youzhen's face, and continued to say: "Your Majesty, there is no problem in abolishing various local health offices, and even restructuring as Your Majesty said, but the border pass must not be reformed!" ”

In fact, what Huo Weihua said still has some truth, although there are many erosions in the Ming Dynasty, it is similar to the Shanxi guard, and it has also contributed a huge force to the defense of the border pass.

If the guard post that was now guarding the northern border gate was laid off overnight in a short period of time, this would be tantamount to the outbreak of a disaster in Huo Weihua's view.

Once the placement is not good, or there is a little problem with the operation.

These guards are not good at stubble, especially these military households stationed at the border gates, they are really ruthless people who fought with blood and tears on the battlefield, once they offended the imperial court system.

Once you take the opportunity to turn back?

The border pass is wide open, the garrison is eroded, once the north gate of the Ming Dynasty is opened, the Mongols are not sheep...

And this move is undoubtedly opening the back door to Huang Taiji, if once Jiannu takes this opportunity to make a detour, Huo Weihua feels that even if he has a hundred heads, it will not be enough for Zhu Youzhen to cut it by then.

After all, once something happens at the border, it is his inaction as the secretary of the military department to say that the sky is broken.

However, Zhu Youzhen didn't mean to discuss with Huo Weihua at all, but Zhu Youzhen also knew in his heart that this matter was just like Huo Weihua said.

Once it is not handled well, what it brings to Daming is in the embryonic stage of this fledgling stage.

Another heavy blow, so Zhu Youzhen still said: "The matter of restructuring is absolutely not negotiable, but I am not without precautions and considerations, the issue of the border pass will not be drastic changes on the existing basis for a while, even if it is to be comprehensively reformed, it will be gradually promoted." ”

The meal should be eaten one bite at a time, and the road should be taken step by step.

As soon as he said this, Huo Weihua breathed a long sigh of relief as if he was about to be amnesty, which caused Zhu Youzhen to laugh a little: "What, are you worried that I am a dictatorial and unconscious who does not advance in oil and salt and insists on going his own way?" ”

Huo Weihua saluted again and said: "The minister is not so worried, but he is very grateful to Your Majesty, the matter of the guard has now become a drag and a bad disease of the military department, and even the Ming Dynasty, which is obvious to everyone." ”

"The emperor can now make up his mind to restructure the guard at such a heavy cost, which is undoubtedly a great help to the ministers, to the military department, and to the current Ming Dynasty..."

Zhu Youzhen smiled and nodded.

He said: "In my vision, the future imperial guard will not be able to be a loose and scattered military organization like before, so it is bound to have problems at any time. ”

"Therefore, I feel that the transformation of the guard into a military reclamation farm is a reform that must be faced now, first of all, the first point is to let the guards put down the swords in their hands, pick up the hoe again, and do a good job of farming for themselves, for the country, and for me, and all expenses during the restructuring period will be borne by the Daming Royal Bank."

"In the future, the large tracts of fertile land reclaimed will become my confidence, the confidence of the Ming Dynasty, only when the people are full, and then it makes sense to talk about other reforms and construction, otherwise... Daming will never be able to say anything about ZTE! ”
