Zhu Youzhen reviewed the big and small events that happened in the past year.

On the whole, it is still developing in a good direction.

He set himself a small goal.

him Huang Taiji first, and then take Liaodong back.

During the holiday, Zhu Youzhen lived more than ten days of relaxed and happy days, and he had nothing to do with his two women to fight the landlord. If the two lose, they will have to wear the clothes designated by Zhu Youzhen and have a contest between husband and wife.

Zhang Yan also ran to Kunning Palace twice in three days, saying that she was bored and wanted to play poker with her two younger sisters.

Zhu Youzhen was annoying, and he couldn't say it directly.

Why?

Doesn't that delay things?

After the Lantern Festival, Zhu Youzhen was busy again.

And Lu Xiangsheng, who arrived in Yanghe a few years ago, also began to get busy.

"General Cao, how many soldiers and horses are there in Datong at the moment?" Lu Xiangsheng asked Cao Wenzhao, the chief soldier of Datong, with a serious face, and added another sentence at the end. "This official wants to hear the truth, this is about His Majesty's plan!"

Cao Wenzhao was silent for a moment, and said loudly:

"Inform Governor Lu that there are 15,436 soldiers in Datong at the moment."

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, this number was roughly the same as what he had mastered, but it was very different from the one in the yellow book.

"Chief Cao, I won't tell you that His Majesty intends to abolish the guards."

Cao Wenzhao's face changed slightly when he heard this.

"Governor Lu, I'm afraid I'll ...... if you do this"

"I'm afraid of what? Will mutiny? Lu Xiangsheng's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said sarcastically.

The original intention of the guard system was to integrate soldiers and peasants and solve the problem of insufficient productivity at the beginning of the country, but due to the hereditary system, Lao Tzu became a soldier and his son was also a soldier, and Lao Tzu was a thousand households and his son was also a thousand households. The land cultivated by military households was nominally owned by the guards, but in fact it belonged to the officers. The soldier gradually became the tenant of the officer, to put it bluntly, a group of tenant farmers, and even serfs. If you don't train in peacetime and make up a number of people in battle, what combat effectiveness does such an army have?

In fact, the imperial court was also aware of this problem, and from the beginning of the Jiajing period, large-scale recruitment of troops became large-scale, and the guard was completely marginalized, and recruiting soldiers became the main force. Like the Qi family army and the Guanning Iron Cavalry, these are all recruits. But there is another drawback to recruitment.

Expensive.

The problem is that Zhu Youzhen is not short of money now.

If you have money, you can ensure that you have enough soldiers, and if you have soldiers, you can build a bigger territory.

It's a virtuous circle.

Lu Xiangsheng is not afraid of their mutiny, and the Tianxiong Army will teach them to be human beings.

In His Majesty's words, I wish those thorns were exposed and all of them could be cleaned up.

"Mr. Cao, let the news out. All the military households in the guard center are to be discharged, and the fields under the jurisdiction of the guard center are recovered, and the military households that have been deregistered are distributed according to the population of the family. If you are willing to continue to join the army, you will receive a monthly salary of one or two or four dollars of silver, plus half a stone of rice! ”

"What about the officers at all levels?"

"If you want to continue to serve in the army, keep your original rank unchanged and join the new army. They will be assessed by a special person, and those who fail to pass the assessment in each period will be demoted by one level until they will become ordinary soldiers. If you do not want to continue to serve in the army, you will be allocated land according to your rank. ”

"The Sword Comes"

Cao Wenzhao breathed a sigh of relief. At least not all of these officers' paths have been blocked.

At least you can pass the assessment and retain your original identity.

The quality of these officers in Datong is relatively better, depending on his usual strict requirements. As for whether there will be a mutiny, then he does not know. I hope no one is stupid.

Coming out of Lu Xiangsheng's mansion, Cao Wenzhao spread the news.

For a while, Datong was in an uproar!

This is the life of these officers! If I hand over the fields in the guardhouse, where will my brocade clothes and food come from, and where will the family members I raise under my command pay for it? What about military prostitutes? What about the singer?

Still keep the original rank unchanged to join the new army, and still assess? Let's test your mother. Lao Tzu was unwilling.

As soon as the news was announced, it caused dissatisfaction among all the officers.

Each guard of a hundred households, a thousand households, commanded all the people to work together, and sneered at this order.

Ma Yongqi, the commander of the right guard of Datong, is one of them.

After receiving the news, he immediately found his deputy to command Ge Zhiying.

"Lao Ge, is the court planning to let us live like this? The Weisuo Tuntian system has existed since the opening of the Taizu Dynasty, what is the current saint planning to do? ? ”

"Who knows." Ge Zhiying shook her head and didn't speak.

"So what do we do? Honestly run to the new army to be a big soldier? ”

"Send someone to see what the other guards think of the envoys. As long as we twist up and down into a rope, no one can come. ”

"That's fine!"

After the two discussed, they were ready to send people to the nearby Yulin, Weiyuan, Pingyu and other places to investigate, but the soldiers sent out had not yet set off. Yun Chuanwei's people came first.

The person who came was Wei Daliang, the commander of Yunchuan Wei, and as soon as they met, he asked anxiously:

"You two, I think you already know the news. Our commander sent me to ask what to do next. ”

Ma Yongqi didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

"What are you going to do?"

"Fan the soldiers under him mutiny, whoever comes to carry out the order will kill him!"

"What if it fails?"

"Wouldn't it be enough to push out a few scapegoats?"

Ma Yongqi was silent, he always felt that things were not so simple. His Majesty the Emperor today is eloquent and strategic, and he has fought many battles, fighting Jiannu like a dog, and he also received North Korea a few years ago. Mutiny? Isn't it looking for death? He had already heard of Lu Xiangsheng's name, and his methods of suppressing bandits in Shaanxi were particularly ruthless, and he was nicknamed King Lu Yan. There are still tens of thousands of Tianxiong troops under his hands, and the mutiny is not a trivial matter, if it is investigated, they will all die.

"Brother Wei will rest in my house for the time being, let me think about it for a day?"

"Right now, Pingyu and Weiyuan Erwei have agreed. It's just a protest, not a rebellion! What is Commander Ma afraid of? If you agree, you agree, if you don't, I'll leave. Right now, time is pressing, I still have to go to Yulinwei to have a look. ”

"Alas, Brother Wei, wait for me for an hour, and I can discuss it with the people below?"

"Half an hour at most!"

"Okay!"

Ma Yongqi took Ge Zhiying away and summoned the first thousand household officials to discuss intensively.

In the end, the details of the operation and the person to blame after the defeat were finalized, and he went back and agreed to Wei Daliang's plan of action.

The nineteenth day of the first month

Ma Yongqi was notified of the action.

Summoned all the soldiers in the guardhouse.

"Brethren! The imperial court is now going to abolish the guards! We're going to kill our jobs! Do you think we can agree? He deliberately concealed the matter of leaving the country, and only said that the imperial court would abolish the guards.

"Disagree! Disagree! He shouted at the few prearranged lifts of his hands! After shouting a few times and finding that no one responded, he stopped awkwardly.

The military households were all dressed in tatters, their eyes were dull, and they looked at Ma Yongqi in a daze.

Does this have anything to do with us?

We can't even eat enough, can it be worse? Big deal to run away.

"Since the brothers are not satisfied, and the people of the court are measuring the acres of land outside the city, let's go and arrest them! Tell them! Resolutely resist the abolition of the guards! We're going to eat! ”

"That's right! Grab it! Protest! To eat! ”

"I want to eat!"

Three or four hundred family members roared vigorously and followed Ma Yongqi and Ge Zhiying outside.

More than 2,000 people marched out of the city to their destination.

Ma Yongqi was dumbfounded.

Ge Zhiying was dumbfounded.

They didn't see the little officials measuring the acres, but they saw five thousand heavily armed Tianxiong troops marching towards them in a phalanx. They were so frightened that they froze in place, not daring to walk or run.

"Commander Ma, where are you going?" When he got closer, a person walked out of the phalanx and asked with a smile at Ma Yongqi.

"Now, I'm about to take my soldiers to the fields to weed." Ma Yongqi was stunned.

"Oh? It's freezing right now, but is there still grass in the fields? ”

"This, this, "

"Ma Yongqi is plotting to rebel! Take them all! Descend and don't kill! Kill those who resist! ”

"Yes!"

The Five Thousand Heavenly Heroes immediately launched a charge, and the soldiers of the right guard of Datong on the opposite side all dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground with a bang. The three or four hundred family members who left Ma Yongqi and Ge Zhiying stood alone in the middle, dumbfounded.

Didn't you say that there were only a few officials who measured the land?

Ma Yongqi was also dumbfounded, until Ge Zhiying pulled him.

"Run!"

He turned and ran into the city.

The Tianxiong army did not pursue, but only put the remaining more than 1,000 military households into custody.

Ma Yongqi and Ge Zhiying stopped without running far with their families, and there were troops behind them.

By this time, they had completely lost the courage to resist.

The family members were even more unbearable, and they were so frightened that they trembled like chaff. Let them bully and bully military households, it's almost the same, to fight? Hehe.

The Tianxiong Army took down Ma Yongqi and others without spending a single soldier.

Until Ma Yongqi was tied up with five flowers, he didn't know what happened.

We just want to protest.

I really didn't want to rebel!

Knowing that a man appeared in front of him with a smile on his face.

"Wei Daliang! You fucking pit old man! ”

"Huh? That can't be said. I've been to so many places, why are only you and Guo Shenghong of Anton Zhongtunwei agreeing to this? Why don't people protest, just the two of you? ”

"Wei Daliang! I beep beep! Beep beep beep! Beep beep! ”

"Okay, stop scolding. Save your energy and eat more! ”

After speaking, he patted his face and walked away.
