After two days of preparation, Zhu Youjian took the cabinet ministers and six ministers and took a rail car to Tongzhou for the meeting at Jingdong Station.
The venue was the lobby of the Tongzhou government office. For a county-level government office, the lobby seemed a bit cramped with so many military and political leaders pouring in at once.
After everyone sat down on the temporary small bench in the lobby, Zhu Youjian said: "I think everyone should have heard about the content of this meeting. I will talk about it directly. First, I will talk about why the venue of the meeting was chosen.
I chose to hold this meeting in Tongzhou instead of the capital. First, it is relatively close to the front line. Second, I want to convey an idea to everyone. Times have changed, and our thinking in governing the country must also be different. We must get rid of the previous sit-down attitude.
The capital's stable style of doing things, you must get used to movement and change."
Aren’t you going to talk directly about the matter? Why did you talk a lot of nonsense at the beginning? Can’t you just say the matter directly? Some people below couldn’t help but complain silently.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Although the war in Miyun Factory District has ended, its impact cannot be underestimated. I think this battle is a rare example of coordinated military and civilian operations in our Ming Dynasty. Although many performances during the process were not perfect,
Judging from the result, it is still a complete victory. Through this battle, we can see that military-civilian cooperation can achieve unexpected results. When ordinary people and soldiers stand together, our possibility of winning the war is greatly increased.
Increase, yes or no?”
The emperor asked this, how can we say no? All the participants answered in unison: "Yes!"
"The compatibility of the military and the civilians, the integration of the military and the civilians is my expectation for the future Ming Dynasty. The army cannot be separated from the people, and the people cannot be separated from the army. The army of the Ming Dynasty is the army of the people of the Ming Dynasty in the world, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty must also serve the people of the Ming Dynasty."
People. In the past, the two sides of the Ming Dynasty’s military and civilians will be completely changed from today on! I don’t want to hear any more nonsense about good men not being soldiers, good iron not nailing, and nonsense about scholars being good men.”
After glancing at the people attending the meeting with burning eyes, Zhu Youjian continued: "These few words, I think, have broken the backbone of our Han people. The people are rich and the country is strong, the soldiers are well-equipped and the people are abundant, and culture and martial arts are valued. These few words
No one is missing, I want them all! How can we build a country without strong military power? How can we govern a country without prosperity of culture? Everyone should not be a soldier? Who bleeds and sacrifices for the country? Fists are as important as truth. If you don’t have fists, who can listen to your truth with peace of mind?
When the Mongols, Yuan and Jin Liao massacred our Han people, could people listen to our reasoning? It wasn’t until Taizu restored China with strong troops that people listened to our principles?”
We value literature and martial arts, and fists are as important as truth? What the emperor said was really domineering. Many of the civil servants who attended the meeting looked a little excited, not to mention the generals who attended the meeting.
Elder Zhou Yanru who attended the meeting was wide-eyed, as if he saw a real British emperor speaking these words. More than ten years later, after so many changes, the emperor finally grew into a thoughtful and well-organized emperor.
Mature emperor, Ming Zhongxing seems to have real hope.
"Let me talk about the specific measures for military-civilian integration and military-civilian integration. From now on, the Military University will recruit students like several other universities. Half of the students in the military academy come from the military and half from the students. In order to solve the possible problem
Due to the dilemma of insufficient applicants, the military university has priority in recruiting students in the first five years. All students selected by the military school must apply for admission. Those who refuse admission will be disqualified from becoming officials and teachers."
What about Gu Zan? There is also a demand for forced recruitment into the army? Isn’t this nonsense? Students are the treasure of the dynasty. Many civil servants below are about to voice their objections.
Zhu Youjian waved his hand and continued: "Second, all children of the common people have the obligation to enlist in the army. Any children who refuse to join the army will lose all the welfare benefits of the state and dynasty. Third, the state and dynasty military system will implement a demobilization system starting this year.
, demobilization means that those who have joined the army for five years can be reinstated from the army to civilians according to the principle of combining compulsory and voluntary service. The soldiers who are restored to the civilian population will be assigned corresponding civilian positions according to their seniority in the military. Ordinary soldiers will be given priority in each country.
He serves as an ordinary official in a government office and as a clerk in various government offices and palace offices. When an officer is demobilized, he will be placed as an official in a government agency according to the corresponding grade. The captain grade corresponds to the eighth grade to the seventh grade, and the school grade corresponds to the sixth grade to the fourth grade.
They are all genuine. In principle, generals will not be demobilized, but under special circumstances, they can also be transferred to military positions."
After saying this, Zhu Youjian deliberately paused for a while to let everyone digest it before speaking.
Although the generals who participated in the meeting were a little confused about the demobilization system, they were not greatly shocked. It seemed that it would be a good idea to demobilize soldiers and become civilians. The emperor had told them at the beginning that they should be in charge of the army and the people.
, now it seems that the promise is about to be fulfilled. Having said that, general-level officers are not demobilized, which means that the demobilization system seems to have nothing to do with senior generals like them.
The civil servants were different. When they first heard that the Military University had priority in recruiting students, they almost exploded. But after the demobilization system, it seems that this matter can be discussed. Joining the army is indeed life-threatening, but from the military academy
The graduates are also officers, so the risk factor is relatively low. In addition, officers are promoted quickly. Everyone knows this, so it is not completely unacceptable to say that this has advantages and disadvantages.
"Your Majesty, the Military University gives priority to recruiting students. I am afraid that all the outstanding scholars of the country will be recruited. I am worried that there will be no good candidates for other positions." Zhou Yanru was the first to stand up and express his minor worries.
Is he worried that there will be no good young people available? Is he worried that the military academy will recruit all their children unreasonably?
"Grand Master, don't be too worried. Although the military academy has priority in recruitment, it is not used casually. First, this right will only be exercised when there are not enough people to sign up. Second, students who have been admitted to other universities will be exercised.
Members have the right to refuse recruitment once. To be honest, the total number of students recruited by the military academy in a year is not too many, and it will not grab many students." In fact, Zhu Youjian didn't want the military academy to grab people at the beginning, so he recruited
If it's not enough, then allocate more places to the military, but it has to be said. After they realize how good the military academy is, are they still worried that they won't be able to recruit enough people?
"Your Majesty, if there are too many demobilized officers, wouldn't it be a good idea if there was no job placement? After all, the court has to arrange positions for students in other universities, and the job gap for high-ranking officials is also very tight." Zhou Yanru said a little more.
worry.
"There are not so many officers on the street! You civil servants, don't think that officers want to be demobilized! After the country is in peace, there will be a lot of job vacancies, and I am afraid that most officers will not be willing to do these jobs. They are demobilized every year.
There are not many officers in the army. Even if there are one million soldiers, there will only be one or two thousand at most in a year. Don't worry too much about this. I have established a demobilization system mainly to allow ordinary soldiers to have a place to live after they are reinstated.
, and at the same time, it is also to solve the stubborn problem of civilian forces controlling the official positions. People who have served in the military, have contributed to the country, received national favors, and can be sent to the country, are the most suitable group to serve as officials and serve the country. Nowadays, cultural education is prevalent in the military.
They will not delay their work for officials, which also raises the threshold for officials, so that some people who do not serve the country will take advantage of the imperial court." Mobile users please watch Desperate Survival of Chongzhen Emperor for a better user experience
