Chapter 425 It will be difficult to rebel in the future(1/2)

There are mainly two generals in the Governor's Office of the Five Army. Some of them are generals of the anti-rebellion army stationed outside, and they all have governors. In addition to being able to get high salaries, it is also a custom of the Ming Dynasty.

The other part is that Zhu Di and the surrendered generals during the period of Jianwen. They were not led by troops outside, but were all supported in the capital.

Liu Jun knew that the emperor was going to establish a so-called military academy. Many people in the second part would go to the military academy in the future. Of course, the military academy was still under preparation, and it would be at least two or three years later.

Today, the governors from the Governor's Office of the Five Army in the capital came almost all. There were more than 40 people on the scene and hundreds of soldiers on the periphery.

There were Liu Zhen, Pan Zhong, Xu Kai and others who surrendered one after another during the crisis during the past rebellion, and Zheng Heng, Chen Zhi, Liu Sheng and Chen Mao and others who surrendered one after another during the rebellion.

Both of them have interesting coding people, and their experiences are almost the same.

After the emperor arrived, the generals subconsciously divided them into two sides to stand. On one side, they surrendered to Jingnan and on the other side, they were seeking rebellion and surrendered generals. Liu Jun wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

In October, some rice in the capital was just ripe, and the matter in the fields was to harvest rice.

But the Beijing Army, the vanguard of the palace, had been transferred with tens of thousands of family members, and it was said that it seemed to have gone to the south.

When this place matures, other Beijing camps will be harvested. After harvesting the rice, a large pile of straw is left on the ground, one piece in the east and one piece in the west.

"Those who are over 16 years old can voluntarily participate in the recruitment. Those who are over 18 years old must participate in the recruitment (some professions such as the imperial examination, craftsmen, doctors, etc. are exempted)."

But the emperor did not rest. In addition to drinking water, he continued. Many governors did not even dare to drink water, so they had to bite the bullet and follow him.

Liu Jun asked at this time, how to replace it gradually?

But the soldiers and the little flag-level people must be happy when they retire.

The rebellion of the King of Han relied on the protection of the King of Han and the Yunnan garrisons. The families of those garrisons were also in Yunnan.

Later, when the military households were separated, the soldiers from Yunnan were stationed in the north, all the military families were stationed in Yunnan, the troops in the capital were stationed in Shaanxi, and all the families were stationed in the capital, who would dare to rebel?

Everyone stood by the field and looked at Zhu Gaoxu.

What should I do?

So Zhu Gaoxu needs to be restructured.

Zhu Gaoxu abolished the abominable military household system, and the low-level military households are no longer hereditary (high-level military generals cannot do this for the time being, as it will hurt the hearts of the heroes). The army and the household were separated, and the army was trained at the garrison.

This wave of people is currently about 150,000 to 150,000, which means that next year, the people will recruit 150,000 and 60,000 new troops, and no longer divide the land. All the people will be paid and fed by the court, and there will be no need for land.

In the Ming Dynasty, the family members basically followed the farming ground (but not absolute), because each army required a military surplus to follow, and the military surplus was basically the eldest son or younger brother of the army.

So usually the whole family will follow the army unless there are no family members.

But this involves a problem. When Zhu Gaoxu was fighting against the counter-war, in order to win over the hearts of the people, he distributed fields to many garrison offices (basically the territory he occupied at that time).

Everyone watched the emperor from time to time and found that the emperor was very energetic, his sleeves were rude and he was working very seriously.

Think about the rebellion of the King of Yan, who relied on the three guards of the King of Yan and the various guards of Peking. The families of those guards were all in the north and their families were also there.

The governors obviously had a high position for a long time, so they would do this job. Each bundle of straw is different in size, and some are not even firmly tied.

Moreover, after the current wave of garrison soldiers retired from active service, the subsequent garrison officers and soldiers did not have their own stockpile of land, and all the food supply depends entirely on the local prefectures.

Everyone was puzzled and didn't understand what the emperor meant to say about the difficulties of the brothers in the ward.

On the other hand, the emperor had about the same size and was very strict. It seemed that the emperor often did this job.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the bundles of straw in the fields and slowly said, "Liubutang, how did our brothers from the Daming Guard prepare for war?"

It is even more difficult to rebel again.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the generals and smiled and said, "I was thinking on the way here that most of the governors have something in common. They basically got started from small soldiers in the garrison. There were also brothers who inherited their father's position and came from a hundred households.

Thousands of households start to work.”

"What are the sequelae of the draw of a large number of soldiers?" Zhu Gaoxu asked again.

"Come on, come on," Zhu Gaoxu smiled and waved: "I have found someone to do the work, and we can do it easily today."

The military generals at the scene nodded secretly. Even the generals, they felt that the capital was short of food and food everywhere in the later period. Even if they continued to fight, Zhu Di would still be in chaos.

The reason why the Ming Wei wanted to farm in front was because he had to farm and raise himself.

In the seventh year of Hongwu (1393), the Ming Dynasty was the seventeenth Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of

Twenty-one, two left-behind officials, four hundred and ninety-three internal and external guards, three hundred and fifty-nine thousand households, and a total number of more than two and seven million soldiers.

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand, and a soldier came forward to hand over the water, and everyone quickly drank a sip of water to relieve breath.

Chen Zhi and the others looked at each other and quickly accelerated.

The specific amount will be considered after Zhu Gaoxu.

Moreover, when he retired, Zhu Gaoxu also had to pay retirement funds. According to the time of joining the army, one qian per year, and one liang per ten years. Although it sounds small, he only issued copper coins and silver, and did not issue treasure money.

But the longer the time, the more straws the emperor piled up. The more than 40 governors could not beat the emperor's side.

It’s just such a simple and easy farm work, and it took only half an hour to do it, and some people can’t stand it.

The generals remained silent and did not dare to speak, but they almost guessed what the emperor wanted to do.

Liu Jun thought there were no advantages and disadvantages, so he said, "When a big battle occurs, there are too many soldiers in the garrison. If there is a busy farming and a bumper harvest, it will affect farming and cause shortages or even missing harvests."

So now, whether it is to go to the senior officials or Nanyang, the local garrison continues to garrison and gradually replace them.

"Your Majesty's wiseness will kill multiple goals in one go, and the court should implement it seriously." Liu Jun came again at this time.

Zhu Gaoxu asked back, how many military troops are there in the Ming Dynasty?

"The conscription system, separation of soldiers and households."

Liu Jun keenly discovered an advantage. After the separation of military households, it is even more difficult to start a rebellion and change again.

But someone immediately said, "Your Majesty's clarity."

Especially in the later period, Zhu Di transferred 800,000 yuan for the decisive battle in Huguang. Except for the 300,000 yuan from Jingying, the rest came from eight provinces, and many garrisons were taken to the point.

"All military fields must be slowly withdrawn from the garrison and farmed by the people."

It is not yet the late Yongle period, and after two more wars, Hong Xi has been counting in the first half of the year. Liu Jun now says that he has a total of about 2.28 million soldiers.

"In the late stage of the rebellious war, the capital was already in short supply of food. Even if His Majesty did not win in Huguang, if they continued to fight, His Majesty would definitely win." Liu Jun then flattered Zhu Gaoxu without any trace.

Liu Jundao, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the Daming wards office, three parts to defend the city and seven parts to cultivate the land.

"The soldiers from Guangdong came to Jiangnan, the soldiers from Jiangnan went north, and the soldiers from the north were stationed in Guangdong."

Later soldiers were recruited from the people, and the court only needed to pay and food, and there would be no more land.

But the year after that, only 200,000 new recruits were recruited.

Zhu Gaoxu took the battle himself and took off his outer robe. Several confidant soldiers, including Zhou Hu, also took the battle himself and surrounded the emperor.

Liu Jun didn't say anything when he saw it, and hurried forward.

When the governors saw that the emperor had done it, they all stepped forward one by one.

This wave of Human Resources has been investigating in the early stage, and now I know that the emperor plans to remove them.

After retiring from service every year, ten years later, the Ming Dynasty's army would become smaller and smaller, and it was basically young and strong in the age of twenty to thirty.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded: "Next year, select sergeants over 40 years old, small flag-level, and all take the fields to retire."

Sergeants around the scene handed over ropes and tools.

"Are you tired just now?" Zhu Gaoxu looked at the generals at this time: "Are you very tired and don't want to do it? Then have you ever thought about what the soldiers would think? It's still the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the brothers of the garrison station are still there.

It’s a bit of combat power, and you can see it after dozens or hundreds of years.”

Then the surroundings quickly agreed.

The next year, Zhu Gaoxu would retire a group of soldiers and horses over 35 years old, with more than 300,000 or 400,000 people.

Zhu Gaoxu means that from next year, the second year of Hongxi, he will be discharged from the army after ten years of execution.

After about an hour of work, many governors suffered from back pain, so the emperor stopped.

In this way, the military guards are more profitable at present. They all get the fields given by Zhu Gaoxu, and they can also take the fields to retire. After retirement, they have dozens or hundreds of acres of land, and their family life will be good. This is also Zhu Gaoxu's contribution to their counter-war efforts.

Reward.

"I don't do training all day long, I only know how to farm and guard. If this continues, soldiers may only be able to hold hoes and not knives and arrows."

"What if it is a war? For example, during the Jingnan Dynasty, if the army fights against the rebels, then 500,000 troops will be fought together?"

Ten years later, all the troops in the garrison have retired from active service and replaced all new troops. These new troops no longer need to be farmed and there is no land left.

Only then did Liu Jun realize that the emperor asked everyone to pack the straw scattered everywhere and transport it away.

"There is no hurry to do this, take your time. The brothers who are seeking rebellion are still stationed in the same farm as before. After the next round of rotation, they will follow the new policy."

This is exactly what ordinary soldiers should do after the autumn harvest.

Liu Jun said: "Then you basically have to draw nine out of ten times, and even worse, the whole guard will twitch."

Liu Jun was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that he didn't understand what the sequelae meant?

"What are the pros and cons?" Zhu Gaoxu reacted.

Chen Zhi looked up at him and found that Liu Jun was also very good at speaking and pleasing.

"If you have been in the army for five years, you can choose to retire. If you have served in the army for ten years, you must retire."
