Chapter 867
The two old foxes officially agreed to Li Xiao's plan, which was actually something in Li Xiao's plan. The focus of the Ming Dynasty now is on national construction, not on the conquest of the Quartet.
The war he has fought in the past ten years has laid out a big game of chess, and it can be said that if there are no major changes, this pattern can ensure that the Ming Dynasty has no worries for a hundred years.
As for a hundred years later, it is not something that Li Xiao can say. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and the matter of national fortune is really unclear.
The fortune of the country depends on people, but there seems to be a force in the dark. This kind of inexplicable thing is very mysterious, and Li Xiao can't understand it at all.
After only resting at home for a week, Li Xiao began to arrange his troops.
"Since the country is going to change direction, then the troops have to change according to the situation. Cadres can choose a specialty, assigned work according to their rank in the army.
The people assigned to the enterprise must be people with flexible minds, engaged in production and management, and their minds are not flexible. However, you have to say hello in advance, and if you don't say anything about the treatment, you can't stretch your hands out.
stretched out his hand too long and took what he shouldn't have taken, don't blame me for being ruthless. Inform the Ministry of Supervision that this kind of thing will have to arrest a few babies. Kill a few chickens to show the monkey, if the monkey stretches out his hand again, then don't blame me Li Xiao for being ruthless. ”
"No!"
Li Xiao said a sentence, and the following young man recorded a sentence. This is a guy named Zeng Jing, Sun Xing stayed in Egypt as the governor of Egypt, responsible for the full management of the Suez Canal Zone.
This is a person recommended by Li Hao, who said that he is a very good secretarial talent.
"Those wooden and old-fashioned ones can be assigned to places like the Ministry of Supervision and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. It can also be assigned to the local Jinyi Guard, responsible for managing local security.
These people should be warned, the life and death of the palm of the hand must be indispensable to the entrustment of human affection. If they are corrupt and pervert the law, it will not be a matter of adding to the crime, but it will bring disaster to the whole house. Judicial and criminal matters are no trivial matter! The Ming judiciary does not tolerate blasphemy. ”
"No!"
"Those who are simple-minded and brave in battle, and are only suitable for leading troops. You can continue to stay in the army and lead the troops, and those positions that are transferred out will allow them to be promoted as well. ”
"No!"
"Everything will be handled according to what I say, and let the military department draw up a list. Of course, it has to be done after the reward for the meritorious personnel of this Western Expedition. ”
"No!"
Li Xiao said one, and Zeng Jing recorded one. After Li Xiao finished speaking, he took the notebook and read it to Li Xiao again. Although he is from Hunan, he speaks the official language very well. He spoke eloquently and clearly, and seeing that Li Xiao had nothing else to say, he went out to draft the charter.
The Ming Empire is like a giant dragon with its claws folded.
The main combat forces, starting with the withdrawal of troops from various countries. The main force was picked up by one steamer after another and returned to Daming, and all the heavy equipment was concentrated and placed in the central cities of various regions.
After the troops celebrated, various awards began. Then the veterans should be discharged, and the officers who are willing to be professional can work professionally in the local area.
The local political power in the Ming Dynasty has always been controlled by those scholars of the Donglin Party. Although the central officials have almost been replaced, the local authorities have not been able to do so.
This is also something that cannot be helped, and local officials who have the ability and qualifications are basically selected by taking the Jinshi examination. Now, a large number of cadres can be drawn out from the army and enriched to the various local yamen.
Many Donglin Party officials were transferred to idle posts. Some staunch Donglin Party members were even directly dismissed. In the past, I couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while, and I had some compelled intentions.
After all, the country also needs people to manage!
Now that the battle is over, there are a large number of officers loyal to Li Xiao at their disposal. Ganmao still uses you bastards, who can do practical things when they are in office and work hard to implement the central government's affairs, they will naturally be retained.
If you are perfunctory in office, and make some inappropriate remarks from time to time, you can simply go home and pick up your children. The yamen will give some subsidies, and if you don't starve to death, it will be worthy of you.
When the last troops returned to the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court officially announced the official end of the Wei post system that had been implemented by the Ming Dynasty for more than 270 years. All the guards were abolished, and the soldiers officially disappeared from the history of China, becoming a word that can only be found in history books.
Countless soldiers wept and cried, not because they were dismissed, but because they were finally free.
The military household is hereditary, and the officers are also hereditary. That is to say, your father is a soldier, your family has been a soldier for generations, even if you have no heirs, you can't run away from your kid, there are still some relatives in your family.
It's not the same if you mix up as an officer. Your father is an officer, and your grandfather is an officer, so you will also become an officer. All the soldiers under your command are under your control, and your fields belong to them, and your family's work belongs to them.
Even the harvest of the soldiers, the officials can be greedy for ink.
These soldiers are simply slaves of the officers. And not only are you a slave, but your son is also a slave, and so are your grandsons. As long as Daming Company does not go bankrupt, your children and grandchildren will be soldiers.
It can't be helped, it's like a shackle around the neck.
Every year, there are soldiers who flee, but after the escape, you will only get worse. Because you don't have a household registration, you and your children and grandchildren will always have to be human beings with your tail between your legs. Because of your black households and outsiders, the locals can bully you with impunity.
One day, I forced you to be anxious and went to the yamen to cry out for injustice.
I'm sorry, but the servants came to your house, and the lock was not the one who bullied you, but yourself.
Many deserters have completely fallen to the bottom of society, and even had to sell themselves cheaply and become slaves. Eternal life and eternity have become a minion who is not even as good as a soldier!
Now it's okay, there was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Li Xiao was here to be the handsome.
After more than 270 years, the military household system was completely abolished, and all military households are now registered as citizens like everyone else.
The soldiers wept with joy, and the people were all over the world to celebrate and tell each other, in order to celebrate this great and prosperous era. In many of the soldiers' villages, the wine was bought.
The statue of Li Xiao was respectfully invited home, and incense was offered endlessly in the morning and evening.
Of course, there are joys and sorrows. The thousands of households in those guards have sad faces, and they have enjoyed cheap labor for so many years, and now they need to farm their own land, which is even more uncomfortable than killing them.
Although the imperial court gave some severance pay to pay them for their hard work over the years. But these severance payments are enough for a drink.
Someone wanted to make trouble, but after a long time of agitation, only his brother and officers like him responded. In the past, the soldiers who looked up to them and were called and drunk by them all day long looked at them coldly.
This is a fart thing, not to mention whether it can beat the Liao army with new weapons in hand. If you dare to shout the word rebellion, you may be twisted into the yamen by those hostile masters.
Whether he can come out in this life depends on whether the new county master is in a good mood.
Countless teams were broken up into companies and stationed on the ground, and the guys in their hands were also replaced by Aka rifles with ordinary rifles. In the future, the main task will be to suppress local security, and there is no need to prepare those heavy firepower and powerful Acre rifles. A normal rifle with a single shot is just fine!
Brigand! This kind of thing has become a legendary thing, even in Liaodong, which is known as the fierce folk style. Now it is also calm and terrifying, and the soldiers who ride tall horses to patrol every day are more like honor guards.
No way, every family has a house and land. In addition to the grain that was handed over to the state, there was still a lot of food left at home. If you can't eat it yourself, you can still sell it to the imperial court.
With spare money in hand, I have nothing to do to play a little mahjong and drink a little wine. Buy some artillery for my son and new clothes for my daughter. Save some money and renovate your family's house.
In a few more years, I will build a few large tiled houses at home. Life is prosperous, and fools don't want to be bandits.
People in the city have jobs, either in this factory or in that factory. Everyone has a salary, and as long as they have a job, they can go to the bank to take out a loan to buy a house.
A loan is ten or twenty years, living in a brand new house, and repaying the money while working. Although it is so tight every month, I feel happy to see my spacious and bright buildings and rising housing prices. Fortunately, I bought it early, otherwise it would have cost more money now.
I finally paid off the loan, and suddenly realized that my house was a little small. My mother-in-law once went to the market and met a salesman handing out flyers on the way. Pulled by a carriage to the sales office, this community is close to the best primary school in our city.
As long as you buy this house, you can go to the best key elementary school.
This house is close to the hospital, and it is convenient for the elderly to see a doctor at home.
This house is close to the vegetable market, and it takes less than five minutes to walk to buy groceries. This house is close to the unit, and it is a 10-minute walk to the unit. No more getting up early and crowding the public carriage.
……!
The mother-in-law couldn't resist the temptation and went home to start the idea of her own property. In the end, I decided to sell the house and pay the down payment in full and take out a loan to buy a larger school district house.
This time, the loan was repaid in vain, and I have to continue to repay the loan. The old men scolded the losers, but when they saw the houses that were more spacious and bright, and the community was clean and tidy, they felt that it was good to live here.
People in the northern industrial zone are generally living a good life. After all, the value of industrial products is relatively large, and there are enough people who can feed them.
The days in Jiangnan are a different story!
The big landlords were overthrown, and the tenants who had rented their land for generations finally had their own land. The taxes of the imperial court were not very heavy, and they were generally one out of ten.
In recent years, the imperial court has also helped to introduce high-yield crops. After the grain grown is handed over to the imperial court, there is still a lot left in the family. Feed a chicken, raise a few pigs, and the family is gradually prosperous.
Now, in addition to the 100,000 mountains in Guangxi, there are still sporadic bandit activities, and there is basically no such thing as bandits in the whole country. Because they are getting richer and richer, the local security is getting better and better.
The improvement of law and order has also promoted further economic prosperity.
It can be said that the Ming Empire has entered a virtuous circle of upward channel.
The war is far away from the Ming Dynasty, although in a distant place. There are still Ming soldiers who are deeply involved in the war, but the tribal armed forces in those places will try their best to avoid conflicts with the Ming Dynasty.
Because they know that the Ming Dynasty has become unstoppable. No one can defeat the Ming Dynasty, and for those tribes, the Ming Dynasty is like a roc bird that soars for nine days.
With a slight flap of their wings, those tribes will be thrown into a state of no return.
There were still some small tribes in the past, and I didn't know how powerful the Ming was. They raided the wealthy Ming caravans and looted their dazzling treasures.
Then, a huge airship flew into the sky. The airship landed, and a group of soldiers walked on it. The guns in their hands continued to spray bullets, and those brave Arab warriors fell one by one in a pool of blood.
Because of the sins of a hundred and ten people, a great tribe of tens of thousands of people was swept away. The scene was horrific as the bodies of men, women, the elderly, and children lay on the ground, at the mercy of vultures and crows.
The revenge of the Ming people will never be aimed at a certain person, they will only find the object of suspicion, and then draw a circle with this object of suspicion as a radius.
Everything in this circle will be destroyed, and nothing can be solved by a single slaughter. If there is, then come a second time.
After several horrific massacres, everyone in the Suez Canal Zone knew about it. You can be disrespectful to the true God because the true God may forgive you because of your piety. But you must not be disrespectful to the Ming Dynasty, because in the dictionary of those Marines, there is no such word forgiveness at all.
The Ming retracted their claws and gained a solid foothold in Central Asia by taking control of the Ili River Valley. In fact, Central Asia has been shattered into a mess.
In many places, one or two thousand people can be kings. There can be one or two hundred thousand people, and it is definitely a hegemon.
What was once a huge India is now shattered into more than a hundred city-states. There were times when these city-states were victorious, but there could be wars and raids in wars, but there could be no annexations.
As long as you want to annex another city-state, the big brother of Daming will stand up and uphold justice. Then, he was appointed by the Ming Dynasty. There will be a dozen or twenty city-states united to strike a strong blow at those who intend to annex and expand their power.
So far, there has never been a warrior who can pick twenty. If there is, it is estimated that the iron-blooded army of the Ming Dynasty will come over. And then the powerful city-state will also be wiped out in an instant.
Li Xiao does not intend to let India have any possibility of integration, this kind of country is always more and more fragmented, like a toe. The snake-like long strip of country is cut in half. Attacking all day long, but always unable to beat the other party, can only keep bleeding! Bleed! Bleed again!
For the Ming Dynasty, a split cochin is far better than a unified cochin.
