At the beginning of the first year of Hongji, the military and political reform quietly kicked off. The biggest reason for the decline of the Ming army is the loss of money and talents, money is actually relatively easy to solve, but talents need to break the stereotypes and bad habits.

In this era of emphasizing literature and ignoring martial arts, he is obviously doing things that can lose his head at any time, but the treatment is far less than that of a sour Confucian, and anyone feels unhappy in their hearts.

Even the highest-ranking general soldier in the army needs to obey the dispatch of civilian officials, and when you meet local prefects and prefects, you can blow your nose and stare at you.

It is this mismatch between risk and status that the people of the world are rushing to become the champion, and now I have not heard of anyone's ideal to become a general.

When everyone is bent on becoming a civil servant, even the best adventurer chooses to drink tea and read the newspaper in a certain office.

In addition, the military household system of the Ming Dynasty limited the excavation of talents. All the generals are almost limited to digging in the military households, such as the grandfather of Mao Wenlong, a famous anti-gold general, who is a salt merchant, and his father is a Chinese prisoner, so he is not qualified to be a soldier at all.

Although there was already a conscription system in the Jingtai period, the recruited soldiers were still civilian, in fact, they were essentially outside the establishment

"Temporary". Killing the enemy rushed to the forefront, but receiving the least money, and even not having a head bounty at all, and even being ridden by someone with an official position on the neck.

As for promotion, how can there be a temporary worker promoted in the world? Before Zhu Youzhu formulated a promotion mechanism, he was not in a hurry to throw out the recruitment system.

In fact, the conscription system is not necessarily a good prescription, after all, there are generals such as Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou in the military register, and the most important thing is actually how to tap and cultivate talents.

"Permit the counties to recommend those who can transport eighty pounds of big knives, and send them to Beijing for verification in various places, and once they pass the test, the county will be evaluated first!" In addition to breaking the restrictions on military status, Zhu Youzhang's real intention was to find out good seeds from various counties, so that he could get some really good soldiers or generals.

It is said that the master is in the people, and Daming has a population of tens of millions, even if Mao Wenlong can't be found, but picking out a group of strong men is actually earned.

The second measure is: "During the restoration of the orthodox period of Jingwei martial arts, each guard of the five prefectures should be enrolled in school from 100 households, and if they are in school for three years, they will have an art industry, exempt from the township, and pass the examination, and stay in the dynasty for reuse." Those who fail will be sent to their hometowns! "There has never been a shortage of good seedlings in Huaxia, mainly due to the uneven distribution of teaching resources.

Even if Messi was born in my big Huaxia, he could only write his primary school homework every day until late at night, and it was almost impossible to find enough people to play football.

Now if you want to pull some fierce generals back from the Four Books and Five Classics, or from eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, you have to create a corresponding teaching environment for them.

Although the Jingwei Wushu located in Wuxue Hutong during the Orthodox period ended in failure, the main sticking point was the recruitment of a bunch of military officers from rich families and Wuxun's children.

These well-born children refused to study and practice martial arts hard at all, and only thought about playing around the capital every day, and Jingwei martial arts did not formulate a systematic teaching, and finally was forced to cancel it in the third year of Jingtai.

Zhu Youzhang's resumption of Jingwei martial arts is naturally to learn the lessons of failure, in addition to paying more attention to the source of students and secondary screening, he will also formulate a corresponding systematic training curriculum for generals.

Only by providing a good teaching environment for these good seedlings will they have the opportunity to become talents, rather than letting these good seedlings slowly disappear into the crowd.

The third measure is: "Xining, Hezhou 400,000 catties each, Taozhou 300,000 catties, with 100 catties of tea easy on a horse, tea and horses should stop the private tea to seize the benefits of tea and horses, where tea merchants dare to use private tea to change horses, can be punished canonically!" "Because the nomadic people live on water and grass, most of their daily diet is beef and mutton and cow and goat milk.

Although their bodies may seem to be strong, most of them have problems with cholesterol and fat accumulation in their bodies, which can easily induce various diseases.

Tea can delay the formation of cholesterol and fat, promote the body's internal circulation, and thus make tea a strategic necessity for the nomadic people of the northwest.

During the Song Dynasty, due to the lack of high-quality war horses in the Central Plains to deal with the threat of iron horses from the northern ethnic minorities, the Song Dynasty pioneered the Tea and Horse Division, trying to explain the problem of horses with tea horses.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it also fell into the dilemma of the lack of horses in the Central Plains, so Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang followed the tea and horse division of the Song Dynasty, and used the tea and horses to communicate with the nomads in the northwest.

Zhu Youzhu knew that in order to deal with the threat and humiliation of the imminent reunification of Mongolia, it was not enough to train military talents, but also to invest a lot of military supplies.

It was for this reason that he decided to increase the trade in tea, so that more good horses could be obtained from the ethnic minorities in the west.

War horses are undoubtedly the top priority, whether it is the needs of the Aegis battalion they have formed, or the supplement of war horses of the border army in the future, they need to exchange more excellent war horses from the northwest ethnic minorities.

It is worth mentioning that in the current salt law

In fact, in the "opening of the Chinese law", there is not only the easy introduction of millet and the easy introduction of horses, but also the potential to stimulate the people to support the people.

Zhu Youzhu was very glad that the ancestor had already set up a platform for himself, and he only needed to sweep away the resistance of the court to complete the reserve of war horses.

The fourth measure is: "Where there are local people in the iron ore production departments of the provinces, the governor has a department that appoints officials to supervise and take them, and the officials get five points, and the people get five points." "In the supply of the S.H.I.E.L.D. battalion this time, although there are reasons for the deliberate delay of the Ministry of Industry, there is also the dilemma that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

In order to prevent rebellion, the Ming Dynasty imposed strict restrictions on the mining of iron ore by the people, and each mine could only employ 50 people, and it was not allowed to recruit displaced people.

Even in the original history, Xu Jie, the first assistant in the Longqing period, thought that the iron production of the Ming Dynasty was enough, and directly issued an iron ban, which led to the iron production in the later period being flat every year, which invisibly aggravated the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youzhu knew that there might not be a shortage of fine iron for his three thousand pairs of armor now, but for the future military supplies, and even heavy artillery and spears in the future, he needed to solve the problem of iron ore production in advance.

Now private capital is allowed to intervene in the mining of iron ore, especially the iron ore rich Shanxi capital has completed the original capital accumulation through salt profits, which will undoubtedly stimulate the rapid growth of iron production in the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the best way is to send a fleet to the south to find the world's best iron ore, build the sharpest knife to gallop across the northern prairie to harvest the clamor of life.

The fifth measure is: "Liaodong General Army, Xuanfu General Army, Yansui General Army, Jizhou General Army, Datong Deputy General Army, Gansu Governor Tang Yu, Ningxia Governor Cui Rang, Liaodong Governor Liu Xiao and others returned to Beijing to listen to the use." "Zhu Youzhu found that there is a strange disease in the Ming officialdom, and the civilian official group is ranked by seniority, and the chief soldier of this military general group also likes to let an old man in his fifties or sixties serve as the chief soldier.

If these fifty or sixty-year-old generals have outstanding military exploits, it will be fine, but the result is just like the British Gong Zhang Mao, maybe they can talk to you about the art of war, but going into battle to kill soldiers is definitely the first to urinate.

Zhu Youzhu actually did not object to Darwin's theory, but people who had not made contributions for most of their lives really wanted to occupy the position of the general soldier with an old face, and he would never allow it.

As for Tang Yu, the governor of Gansu, Cui Rang, the governor of Ningxia, and Liu Xiao, the governor of Liaodong, all of them were 60-year-old governors, and they also had no military exploits to speak of.

Although it may not be good to be replaced with new officials and commanders-in-chief, at least it can put a little pressure on the successor, instead of licking the old face and occupying important positions related to the security of the country.

This is only the first step. There are actually a lot of things that Zhu Youzhu wants to do, but what he finds out is that he is clearing the acres of land, what is open to the sea trade, and what is spread into the acres, these are all secondary.

If they don't have a gun in their hands, even if they have opened up a route through the Western Ocean, some people dare to burn it, and they themselves make huge profits in the maritime trade.

It is precisely because if you want to govern the country well, you need not only good measures to benefit the people, but also a strong deterrent, otherwise no matter how good the measures are, they will sing crookedly to those people who are hollowing out their minds to make profits.

In fact, the failure of Wang Anshi's reform was not accidental, but an inevitability. After Zhu Youzhu realized this, he postponed all other reforms slightly, but wanted to control the army in his hands, and even more to build an invincible iron horse.

Just as the hundred officials and martial artists in the capital were enjoying the New Year with big fish and meat, their emperor was silently preparing to perform a minor operation on this decaying dynasty, and the name was called: Thousands of Gold and Hundred Silver Quenching Military Bodies.

The sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the first day after the Zhengyuan holiday. Since there was no prior transcript of the recital, the early dynasty on this day usually defaulted to the dismissal.

Zhu Youzhu never thought that the early dynasty facing more than 1,000 officials was a good place for deliberations, so now he likes to summon ministers to the front hall of the Qianqing Palace and discuss matters together.

Wan An and other important ministers are actually willing to come here, after all, the floor heating here is the first in the world, and being able to face the saint is an honor for the courtiers after all.

Due to the constant turmoil at the top of the Ming Dynasty, there are not many important ministers who are fortunate enough to participate in the deliberations now.

In addition to the two elders, they are Li Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Du Ming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Jia Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Li Si, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Chen Qiong, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and He Cong, the left attendant of the Ministry of War.

As for Ma Wensheng, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, has resigned, and now the left capital of the Imperial Court is vacant, and the highest voice is the retired Wang Shu.

Wan An, who was already old, was given a seat, and the other seven people were standing, all looking at the five military and political strategies that were copied at this time.

Zhu Youzhu saw that the five of them were still thinking, so he said lightly: "I am not a warlike king!" It's just that the little prince sent an envoy to call him the Great Khan, and his heart was clear. When it unifies the Mongolian tribes, it will definitely make a comeback and invade the Central Plains of China. The first emperor taught in the past, and those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a moment. Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain! These five military and political policies are designed for a strong national defense! "Huh?

When Chen Qiong, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, heard these words, he immediately showed an incredible expression. Zhu Youzhu noticed Chen Qiong's strong reaction, and said suspiciously: "Chen Qing, do you think my words are inappropriate?" Or do you think these five strategies are indispensable? ”

"Your Majesty, those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek for a while. Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain! Such reasonable words actually came from the mouth of His Majesty, and the Ming Dynasty should be happy! Chen Qiong swallowed and spit out, and then said with tears in her eyes.

Wan An turned his head to look at Chen Qiong and found that Chen Qiong had a little bit of his demeanor back then. Zhu Youzhu knew that this thing liked to pat on the back, so he emphasized: "I just said, this is the words of the first emperor!" ”

"The first emperor preached, Your Majesty did it, isn't this exactly the policy of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty to act as Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty should be ready-made to flourish in the world!" Chen Qiong's mind spun quickly, and she said loudly with excitement.

Hey? When Wan An and the others heard this, they found that this sycophant really made some sense. When Zhu Youzhu heard that Chenghong was prosperous, he secretly said with joy in his heart: "I really intend to create Chenghong Zhongxing!" It's just that although I have to be carefully taught by the first emperor, I also need the assistance of your ministers, if there is nothing wrong with these five military and political policies, I hope you will implement them with your heart! ”

"Your Majesty, today is a long time to go, and there are many corpses in the counties and counties! The first policy can be to order the patrol to strictly inspect all places, once it is found that the county is perfunctory or dereliction of duty, it can be dismissed and investigated! "The head of the household is from the local area, and he added.

Zhu Youzhu was actually not sure of the reaction of the local magistrate, and now with Li Si's reminder, he nodded lightly: "Good!" ”。

"Your Majesty, in recent years, there has also been collusion between officials and businessmen in the Tea and Horse Division, and private tea has become more and more rampant, making tea cheap and expensive and foreigners easy. The minister thought that he could send Qin to deal with private tea, so that the price of tea could be guaranteed, and it would be easy to get more horses! Li Yu, the secretary of the ministry, also added.

Zhu Youzhu knew that where there was interest, moths would inevitably be born, so he nodded lightly and said, "Good!" ”。

"Your Majesty's five military and political policies coincide, and the old minister has nothing to add for a while! It will be promulgated today, and if there is anything wrong in the future, we will correct it then. According to the old minister's view, this is a good strategy to strengthen the army, and the Ming Dynasty should become a ready-made prosperous world! Wan An had slowly asleged allegiance to the young emperor in front of him as Emperor Chenghua, so he said sincerely.

Although Liu Ji and the others knew that it would cost a lot of military spending, Zhu Youzhu threw it out

"Those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a time. Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain", but they have nothing to say.

It's just that sometimes, he has to wonder how the first emperor suddenly became extremely wise after his death, is this kind of thing really from the first emperor's stammering mouth?

Is it that if you die, you will become stronger, so should I try? Zhu Youzhu saw that the five military and political policies had been passed, and continued to deliberate: "In the early dynasty, there were many Miwen, and it was very difficult to sit in the court, and the ministers also lacked the court or made difficulties, so they carried out reforms. In the future, the heavy temple ceremony and the light door ceremony, important things are discussed here, Shuowang Dynasty as usual, every eight times a month, the rest will be! Do you think it's okay? ”
