Chapter 146 Military System Reform

I educated my younger brothers in the main hall, and there is no need to be polite. I will beat you and scold you if you should. It is not easy for the emperor to punish you directly, but Zhu Xiongying does not lack means, such as 'reproach',

Or kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

After finishing all these important things, Zhu Xiongying returned to Kunning Palace.

Seeing Zhu Xiongying coming back, Queen Ma said, "If you don't come back, I will have someone come to find you. Look at these notes, the army will be triumphant, and the rewards should be sent. You have to remember them for me, soldiers.

The reward cannot be denied."

Zhu Xiongying nodded hurriedly and said with great certainty, "I know that not only rewards cannot be reduced, but if the soldiers' food and salary are shortened, I will definitely be killed! Who dares to greed for the soldiers' food and salary, and who dares to cheat on the weapons?

I will put him in a dilemma."

Although Zhu Xiongying's words seemed a bit hostile, Queen Ma didn't think there was any problem at all, but she felt it was very good.

"Our military achievements in the Ming Dynasty have always been important to the first merit." Empress Ma spread out some notes and said to Zhu Xiongying, "If you don't mention the generals for the time being, you will definitely win. For soldiers, it depends on killing the enemy."

In fact, the reward amounts for not having a complete military merit assessment system were different in the early Ming Dynasty. It was not until the 29th year of Hongwu that the reward amount for killing enemies was set.

Zhu Xiongying said at this time, "Grandmother, I think if I kill some rebellious people, I should also give me rewards. But that's different from the Tartars, the rewards given by the Tartars should be higher."

Empress Ma agreed with this statement, "That was natural. When my grandfather rewarded soldiers, he also had to look at who was killed."

Zhu Xiongying thought about it and said, "Then this time, I will be beheaded for one level and rewarded ten taels of silver. What do my grandmother think?"

Ten taels, this is not a small amount. According to the current prices in the Ming Dynasty, you can buy rice and two stones for one tael of silver, while one stone is about 120 pounds.

Queen Ma was silent for a long time before saying, "This trip was probably more than 4,000 beheadings, and the court should have rewarded the soldiers with 40,000 to 50,000 silver. But heroes, in addition to beheading, also want to capture the thief and the whistle horse."

Zhu Xiongying suddenly fell silent, and Queen Ma smiled and said, "You also know that Japanese pirates often cause rebellion on the beach. What your grandfather is thinking is that the soldiers of the General Banner Banner who capture one thief alive will be rewarded with ten taels of silver and beheaded one

Level 8 taels, the people captured a thief alive and twelve taels of silver, and beheaded one level 10 taels of silver."

These are actually what Lao Zhu is planning to launch using the head and the number of prisoners as the reward basis, and this is based on the general flag. That is to say, a total flag of fifty people can get eight taels if you behead the first level.

Zhu Xiongying laughed at herself and said, "My grandson took it for granted. If I really do what I said, I am afraid that the Ministry of Revenue will not be able to pay the money. I am also afraid that the army will go to war in the future and will inevitably kill the good and make contributions."

Queen Ma smiled and said nothing. She was actually worried about some chaos caused by the rewards proposed by Zhu Xiongying.

Empress Ma’s starting point is actually fine. Although people’s livelihood has been restored in recent years, the court has now become a little more abundant. However, if we follow the reward plan proposed by Zhu Xiongying, it would almost be a system of rewarding military merits from previous years to

Breaked.

These also mean that we need to proceed step by step. This is not a stingy thing, but a matter of being determined slowly.

It seems that Zhu Xiongying still needs to do a lot, such as clarifying the Ming Dynasty's military merit reward and punishment system. Although there were some in the past, those were relatively simple and crude. The Ming Dynasty now needs to continue to improve some things.

Looking at Zhu Xiongying's depressed look, Queen Ma joked, "I just mentioned the matter and rejected it. I, Xiongying, is so smart, but I didn't know that I had such an encounter."

"I won't be discouraged." Zhu Xiongying said confidently, "Although my grandmother refused, I will learn it too, that's a good thing."

Some small blows are nothing, as long as you continue to learn and grow. Even if Zhu Xiongying seems smart, he has indeed learned and grown a lot. However, it is normal for him to handle things in a limited way and lack experience.

It doesn’t matter if you know your shortcomings, as long as you continue to learn and make progress, Zhu Xiongying doesn’t think there is any problem with these.

"Grandmother, I will let the Ministry of War Qingli Department verify the reward. At that time, the Ministry of Revenue will naturally issue it." Zhu Xiongying didn't think it was difficult and said with a smile, "I'll just follow the previous rules, just go down the road.

People will give rewards in a timely manner, just don’t make any contributions.”

This is the safest way, and it seems that there is no problem. Although the previous military merit reward system was not completely clear, there are traces to follow. After all, Lao Zhu has fought for more than 30 years, and many things are happening.

You can refer to it or even directly quote it.

Zhu Xiongying looked at Empress Ma and said seriously, "I will discuss the rewards of military merits with my grandfather and my father again. I also thought about reorganizing the Beijing Army. We must hold the most powerful and elite ones in our hands.

Beijing Army.”

Queen Ma didn't understand and asked strangely, "We already have the Beijing Army, and you also have the nerve management in your hands. Isn't that enough?"

"It was this time that I was thinking about these things." Zhu Xiongying said seriously, "Often the expedition, the garrisons in various places sent troops. Although there were also Beijing camps following me, I just thought that after the world was peaceful, there would be training in many places.

Slack down.”

After hearing Zhu Xiongying say this, Empress Ma had no objection, because this is the fact. Such things can even be said to be something that is inevitable. Such situations have also occurred in all dynasties.

Zhu Xiongying continued, "Although there are still 12 guards to serve as the emperor's personal army, I just want to train an army that specializes in fighting. I have already thought about it. Usually, the guards in the capital will conquer the world when they go out."<

Zhu Xiongying was dancing and said to Queen Ma, "I chose three thousand cavalry, and said it was three thousand battalions. The number of people was definitely not three thousand, all of them were cavalry. Set up the central army, left and right mail, left and right mail, battle barracks, chariot barracks, guards

There are three barracks in each.”

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"There are five military camps, which are also the central army, left, right ye and left, right whistle." Zhu Xiongying continued to say with a smile, "These people are composed of elite cavalry and infantry selected by various provinces, compared with the three thousand battalions,

Their management is even more good at fighting.”

Queen Ma smiled and said, "You will know that these five military camps are strong. You are afraid that the garrison will be abandoned. After training the five military camps, this means that they will be the main force when they go to fight."

Zhu Xiongying also did not deny that "the local garrisons are far beyond reach. The three camps are now available and can be trained. The three camps are mainly used and supported by local garrisons. I think our Ming army will not be weak. The Five Military Camps Practice Camp

Formation, Three Thousand Camps Practice Patrols, Shenji Camps Practice Firearms, we will be more at ease in the future.”

This is a professional army, and basically they all have their own different positionings.

Zhu Xiongying also continued, "If the emperor, prince or grandson go to war, the three camps will be guarded around the camp, usually the Shenji camp will live outside, the cavalry will be in the middle, and the infantry will be in the inner. This will be a peace of mind, and there will be no guards.

Have worries.”

Queen Ma thought about it carefully before saying, "Don't discuss this with me again. Your grandfather, your father will discuss it. If your grandfather hears it, he will talk nonsense in front of me again. How could I want to interfere in politics?

It's just that he's troublesome!"

After looking at the arrogant Queen Ma, Zhu Xiongying didn't understand how to coax people, "Grandfather must have to discuss with him, but the grandson also knows grandmother's ability and eyesight. We discuss with grandmother in advance, as long as grandmother helps

I will give me some advice, there will definitely be no major omissions."

"That's not going to happen either." Empress Ma touched Zhu Xiongying's head and said with a smile, "I want to talk about how to help you take care of noble families and protect the hearts of the people. This is awesome. If you want to talk about military use, I can't bear it even if I have to say ten of them.

He is the talented person when he goes to your grandfather. He is very powerful when he talks about Xu Tiande very well, but he is not enough to be with your grandfather."

This is not that Empress Ma’s lover shows Xi Shi, but that Lao Zhu is indeed a genius in military affairs. Not only does he command a thousand troops, his outstanding strategic vision is not just a member of the generals and the school can compete with each other.

Zhu Xiongying did not make too much changes to the military system of the Ming Dynasty. He naturally knew that the garrison system had certain shortcomings, and he also knew that the garrison system in the late Ming Dynasty could even be said to be in name only.

But that is the future thing, and the future policies and systems may not be useful now. What should be done at the moment is to do the current thing well and then slowly change it. Even if you really want to talk about it, Lao Zhu or Zhu

A hero can have a long-term vision and can leave a more solid family background for future generations.

However, each generation has its responsibilities, and Zhu Xiongying obviously cannot help his descendants do everything hundreds of years later.

There is definitely no big problem in forming the three camps. Indeed, the three camps may not always ensure that the military strength of the Ming Dynasty is strong, and they may also be sluggish in the middle and late stages. However, at this stage, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

, That's enough.

It is obviously not just a casual talk to build the three camps. This matter really needs to be discussed with Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao. They are willing to let Zhu Xiongying contact with military power, but this does not mean that Zhu Xiongying can do whatever he wants.

Seeing Zhu Xiongying enthusiastically preparing for the three camps, Queen Ma reminded, "These things take a lot of time, don't be anxious. What you should do now is to win the triumphant success of the king. You have to

Attentively.”

Zhu Xiongying naturally understood and said hurriedly, "I will go to court tomorrow to connect with the Governor's Office of the Five Army and the Ministry of War, and my father will also ask about it. He will nod in many things. I will first determine the rules.

It's easier to do things."

When Queen Ma heard Zhu Xiongying say this, she nodded. She still knew the big and small things of her grandson. This is great.
