After successively determining the reform matters of the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Officials, Zhu Youzhen's eyes moved to Sun Chuanting, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

It's the turn of the army.

"Starting next year, all provinces will dissolve the command and envoy divisions, retain the general military town, and abolish the military household system."

Zhu Youzhen's first sentence was like a bombshell, and Sun Chuanting was dizzy.

Even though he had already felt the determination and courage of the emperor's reform this time from the previous reforms, he could not have imagined that the movement would be so big.

The military household system was born from the hands of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, throughout the history of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, even if everyone knows that this system has become useless, but no one dares to say that it will be abolished.

And today, it's time to end.

No one stood up and said to Zhu Youzhen, 'This is the decision of Taizu, but the law of the ancestors cannot be changed', because who dares to say that the emperor will definitely send that person to see Taizu!

No one really thinks that the emperor hasn't killed anyone for more than a year, so he regards Zhu Youzhen as a benevolent monarch again.

It's not that Zhu Youzhen doesn't kill people, but there is no need to kill people now.

Both the government and the opposition are 'loyal ministers', and the whole country is full of 'bare-bones', do you still need him to kill people?

Sun Chuanting listened honestly, remembered, and waited for Zhu Youzhen to explain and make more specific arrangements.

"In the future, our enemy is not Huang Taiji, he has been locked in that corner of Liaodong, and his only way out in the future is only to fight North Korea, and if he wants to break the blockade set up for him, it is nothing more than to find an outlet from North Korea to Japan.

He is not our enemy, nor is he worthy of being our enemy.

The wars we will prepare for in the future are weapons that our ancestors have never used and learned on a large scale, such as artillery, muskets, and warships, and they have never participated in wars.

Therefore, the development of future warfare is the pursuit of professionalism and mastery, rather than the system of passing from father to son and son to grandson under the military household system.

It's not that he is farming and practicing martial arts at the same time, with a strong smell of soil and grassroots, and he thinks he can win a war by dancing with knives and guns with both hands.

Now the established armies of our Ming Dynasty are Yuan Chonghuan's Guanning Army, Yuan Keli's Denglai Army, and Jingying's three armies.

The others were all local armies with slightly inferior combat strength and serious underpay, including the provincial general soldiers, Zheng Zhilong's pirate soldiers, Qin Liangyu's Tusi soldiers, and the border guards on the nine borders except for Guanning.

In the future, these local armies should be gradually eliminated, and the military department of the imperial court should be unified in recruitment, training, command, and appointment.

It is necessary to ensure that all soldiers are from the Beijing camp, all generals must come from the military academy, and all commanders must come from the edict.

To achieve the unity of the three armies, their hearts are loyal to the country.

Therefore, the education of professional skills and patriotic ideology are indispensable.

Maintaining the existing army size or expanding the size of the army is only for defending, not for attacking, and when the new army is trained and understood, then it will be the time for our Ming Dynasty to fight out!

I think it may take five years, or ten years, but it doesn't matter, I can wait until I get up, and the Ming Dynasty can wait too.

The military department is solely responsible for handling this matter, and the conditions for recruiting soldiers must be strictly controlled, and those between the ages of 16 and 30 should not be allowed to be old or young, or to have a disability.

Soldiers' salaries can be more generous, but for the time being, they must be paid with grain, and priority will be given to recruiting from Shaanxi, Henan, Sichuan, Huguang, and other places that have been seriously affected by the disaster, so as to reduce the pressure on the local people and help the local government reduce the risk of civil unrest in the local area.

This policy lasts for 30 years, that is, in the next 30 years, the recruitment of the new army will give priority to the areas with more severe disasters, such as Nanzhili and Zhejiang, which can suspend recruitment.

In addition, those who read and write were encouraged to enlist in the army, and when they joined the army, they became officers, and the court gave land, clothing, and food.

A new-style army academy was opened on the site of the standard camp that was originally used for military exercises by the five military offices, and a naval academy was opened at the site of Denglai, with muskets and artillery as the main weapons, supplemented by cavalry drills. ”

Zhu Youzhen's mouth was dry, and he picked up the teacup and drank it all.

"I can only think of these for the time being, it is not perfect, and there are still many omissions, so let's do this first, and then solve the specific problems in practice and solve them one by one, and only report to me alone in the process of promoting the military department."

Sun Chuanting stood up and responded.

Zhu Youzhen then looked at the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate will be the first to be restructured next year, and the positions in the middle of the affairs of the Imperial Historical Officials and the Six Sections of the Provincial Imperial Procuratorate will be abolished, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will no longer set up the position of the Imperial Historical Speaker, and will no longer be responsible for supervising the power of hundreds of officials, and only retain the criminal litigation power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Let the Metropolitan Procuratorate make a purer three-law divisional institution

The power of supervision and the power of correction will be transferred to Jinyiwei, and I will instruct Jinyiwei to hand over it to the Spiegel Division, and after the meeting, I will also start to restructure Jinyiwei and the Spiegel Division. ”

Of course, Lu Xiangsheng could not have any rebuttal opinions, so he should be on the spot.

"As for the Ministry of Rites." Zhu Youzhen looked at Huang Jingfang and said in a deep voice: "Starting from next year, the Ministry of Rites will screen the celebration behavior, and it will be clear what is a royal celebration and what is a national celebration.

If it is a national ceremony, it is handled by the Ministry of Rites, and if it is a royal event, it is run by the celebrant of ceremonies.

At least seventy percent of the existing ritual activities should be cut, and the imperial court cannot come forward to do any sacrificial activities that sacrifice to the gods, the heavens, and the heavens.

The common people are not constrained, but the local government is not allowed to participate.

Second, the household registration of Taoist priests, monks, and other religious personnel should be strict, and there should be standards and numbers.

Each province must have a prescribed number of temples, Taoist halls, and Western churches, a limit on the number of religious practitioners, and a limit on land ownership.

Religion no longer enjoys the status of tax exemption, even if it is incense money, the imperial court has to tax!

In a word, even if it is money that goes into the Buddha's pocket, I will take it into the treasury!

I have the ability to let the Buddha come to me to see if it is the imperial power or the divine power.

As long as we live in the land of our Ming Dynasty, there is no one who can be greater than the laws of the country, and anyone who violates the law under the banner of religion to bewitch the people and seek personal gain and personal desires will be sent to see their Buddha God, and we will not be responsible for judging their crimes. ”

A group of Jiuqing officials couldn't hold back their laughter.

The emperor is really bad.

Before you are in charge of the trial, you have killed everyone.

However, after holding back the smile, everyone could see how harsh the emperor must be.

Incense money is taxed.

This is simply unheard of.

It's really a money grabber with the Buddha.

"That's all for the reform."

Zhu Youzhen stood up and glanced at the ministers, his face gradually became cold: "Later, I don't want to hear any voices about how difficult it is to reform, who does not support it, and there is great resistance to opposition.

I just say: Whoever opposes it, I will take someone's life.

Kill no matter how big or small, and the grass must be eradicated! ”

Kill no matter how big or small, and the grass must be eradicated!

Zhu Youzhen's determination to reform does not need to be elaborated too much, just these 12 words are enough.

He now wants everyone in the world to know what imperial power is.

How was Zhu Yuanzhang back then, and now he Zhu Youzhen is going to be!
