Chapter 50: The Ming Dynasty
Last time, I talked about urging the carpenter to go to the "mahout guard" to support, but "hot face sticking to cold ass" was neglected, and he simply released his divine sense to scan the layout of the guard.
"This 'mahout guard' is also quite interesting, although it is somewhat similar to the hometown 'Gutiansuo', but it has more local characteristics." The carpenter thought to himself: "Since this is the case, let's wait and see, anyway, now that the world is degenerate, even the civil officials and military generals have become the so-called 'well-dressed beasts' in the mouths of the people." ”
In fact, there are two reasons, one is that there are all kinds of birds embroidered on the service of the civil officials of the imperial court, and all kinds of beasts are embroidered on the robes of the military generals; The second is the middle and late Ming Dynasty Niu Li party disputes, the court situation was shocked, spies were rampant, the road was eye-to-eye, officials protected each other, and the people were fished and fleshed, which made the people of the world miserable.
Therefore, the strict bureaucratic system set up by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, gradually became unpopular with the people, resulting in those who were officials also secretly ridiculed by the people as "well-dressed beasts". Although there is envy, jealousy and hatred, it is more that the people are dissatisfied with reality.
However, there are always some places where the social ideology has remained stable for a long time, that is, the military cantonments and guards set up by the imperial court in all parties, after all, the cultivated fields of the cantonment garrisons belong entirely to individuals and military camps, and the income from cultivated fields is distributed according to the model of 1:2:7.
The income from the tuntian is one percent of the military revenue, the imperial court collects two percent, and the individual collects seventy percent, and the cultivated land is "hereditary", and the families of the soldiers in the guard station all have military status, and they can choose to be soldiers to fight, or they can be a tuntian soldier to grow food, anyway, the descendants of the soldiers are still soldiers, which cannot run away.
Taking a step back, the cultivated land in the cantonment camp belongs to the property of the soldiers, and as long as the Ming Dynasty is still around, the cultivated land will not be taken away at will. If the imperial court wants to expropriate the land of the military tun, it must follow the "Great Ming Law" set by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and pay a certain price to compensate, otherwise the counts will forget the ancestors!
Relatively speaking, the ordinary people who are not in the military have not received such protection for their land, although there are still sixty percent of the harvest to themselves, but "the whole world is not the king's land", as long as the court insists on expropriating, the people may not have compensation, even if the landlords do not dare to argue with the government.
In the Ming Dynasty, the welfare of the "military people" was good, especially the welfare of the garrison guards in the border areas, and it was easier to form combat effectiveness.
This is also a major reason why many people wanted to add "military status" during the Ming Dynasty, because "military people" often lived a more nourishing life, after all, there was land, land and assets, and it was also a "hereditary system". Each soldier can also lead the army's monthly salary, which does not include his hereditary tuntian.
The military salary of the garrison of the guard post is generally 60% borne by the imperial court, 20% by the local government, and 20% by the cantonment camp. Arable land is only part of the assets of the cantonment garrison, as the area where the cantonment garrison is located will have a distribution area. In this area, every soldier can participate in real estate investment.
Guards were allowed to pay a certain amount of money to buy a house in the cantonment area, and the price was often less than 50% of the average price in the outside market. If the soldiers buy it successfully, then the house will be owned by the soldiers, and they don't have to worry about becoming "hooligans" in the future.
The bazaars in the cantonment area are sometimes more prosperous than those in some towns, because the "military people" can not only do business, entertainment, and learn crafts, but also enjoy the regular quota benefits issued by the imperial court, such as the children of their families do not need money to go to private schools, and the widows, widows, lonely and disabled people can take care of the elderly.
It can be seen that the life of the "military aircraft people" in the camp of the Ming Dynasty is definitely much more nourished than that of ordinary people in the outside world. Generally, the camps are in the southeast coast and southwest regions, because these areas are harassed by pirates, ghosts, and thieves all the year round, and all kinds of battles occur and are valued by the imperial court.
In addition to Tuntian, the border army and Suwei areas of the Ming Dynasty also had a "camping mode" in wartime, which was equivalent to a "movable warhead" in later generations.
The "camping mode" is generally used for fighting and garrisoning troops. If there is a war, the army will leave the cantonment camp and follow the generals to fight.
In wartime, camping was based on two tents in small battalions, with a small battalion of several dozen people, and the commanders of each battalion living alone in tents. One tent in the small battalion was used for housing, and the other was used to store food, household supplies, and war supplies. Therefore, its distribution appears to be advanced.
The tents of each barracks are arranged in a circle with a scale of 1,000 people, and in the center of the circle is the tent where the generals of each small battalion live, and in the event of an accident, each general can directly find his subordinates according to the direction. This is the "encampment" of the ancient times, especially the Ming army.
During the Ming Dynasty, once the imperial court decided to march to war, it would strictly implement the treatment of the "camped army", and the daily management was also very convenient, and each small battalion took turns to be on duty.
When the Ming army camped, the food supply was brought by the troops of each cantonment camp in the first three months, after all, each cantonment camp had its own grain stock.
In the stalemate stage of the war, the imperial court will require the treasury to allocate grain to the soldiers camped on the front line, and during this period, the monthly salary of the soldiers will be completely paid by the imperial court, and the soldier's salary will even be 50%-100% higher than usual!
If a soldier is disabled in combat, the barracks will also give a certain amount of allowance according to the degree of disability. If a soldier dies in battle, the imperial court will not only give money and food subsidies, but also exempt the military dependents of the cantonment camp from paying taxes for three years, because the "guard system" in the frontier during the Ming Dynasty was truly strictly implemented.
Although the "guard system" in the early and middle Ming Dynasty was strictly implemented in accordance with the will of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, with the passage of time, in the late Ming Dynasty, due to various factors affecting each other, more or less corruption also occurred, such as the seizure of real estate and land by "military people".
Of course, the carpenter repeatedly scanned everything in the "mahout guard" camp and its nearby area through his extremely powerful spiritual power, and even the whispers of the "military civilians" could be heard clearly, after all, the border guard was still under the surveillance of the secret services, and the people could only be cautious.
At this time, the carpenter was still meditating on his knees outside the gate and refining qi, and he didn't care how the "supreme military commander" of "Nantong Hou" neglected him, after all, the other party was just a mortal and a "well-dressed beast", with a lifespan of only a hundred years and as weak as an ant, so why bother to see it in general?
