Chapter 311: The New Military System

Emperor Chongzhen took a clear attitude towards the current court. He only focused on the matters he dominated, such as other daily government affairs, and most of them were handed over to the cabinet for handling.

After all, a person's energy is limited, and it is impossible for him to hold everything in his own hands, which will ruin everything.

Therefore, a cabinet with mutual checks and balances could allow Emperor Chongzhen to take the initiative, limiting civil servants from the foreign courts to a certain range, while he remotely controlled the northern provinces to seek reform and gradually changed the devastated Ming Dynasty.

"Wang Shufu, what do you think Your Majesty will be summoned this time?" On the way to the Ganqing Palace, Huang Liji frowned slightly and looked at Wang Zaijin and said, "Yang Sichang was summoned by the emperor before, so he took leave and did not come to the military office. Then, Ben Sui always feels something wrong."

"I don't know either."

Wang Zaijin looked at the Ganqing Palace not far away and sighed: "It should be related to the fact that Youshi opposes military pay. As for Yang Sichang, no one can guess what he is going to do."

As time went by, Emperor Chongzhen did indeed change a lot of things through the special military office, and many of the things he did were suddenly decided to do when Emperor Chongzhen chose a special period.

This also made Wang Qia and Wang Zaijin and other military ministers not clear about what the emperor was thinking, but made a decision and conveyed the decree. They did their best to implement it according to their decision.

Walking in this Forbidden City and looking at the direct personal guards along the way, Wang Zaijin, Huang Liji felt quite moved. After the special establishment of the Beijing Guard Governor's Office, it became particularly difficult for the outer court to understand the movements of the inner court. It can be said that there is no way to find out even if the wind direction is.

This is unimaginable in the past.

"I'll pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"No gift."

In the Ganqing Palace, Emperor Chongzhen put down his imperial pen and looked at Wang Zaijin who was bowing and Huang Liji, with a faint smile on his face.

According to his order, Yang Sichang left Beijing and rushed to Baoding Prefecture to cooperate with Zhili Governor Lu Xiangsheng, and clearly promoted the matter of the abolition of the Northern Zhili garrison.

Then with the gradual abolition of the garrison, the adjustment of the military system around the Ming Dynasty must be carried out in an orderly manner to ensure the stability of the Ming Dynasty.

"I have summoned two Qing families to talk about how to ensure the stability of the local area after the garrison is lifted out." Emperor Chongzhen looked serious and looked at Wang Zaijin and others, and said, "Yang Sichang respects my will. Leaving Beijing and rushing to Baoding to promote the layoffs and abolishing the garrisons in Northern Zhili. At least one year or less than half a year, there will be no more garrisons under our rule in Northern Zhili. In response to this situation, the court should also do appropriately. To ensure the stability of the place.”

Wang Zaijin: “…”

Huang Liji: "..."

After hearing what the emperor said, they knew that Yang Sichang must have something to do when he left Beijing, but they did not expect that it would involve further abolishing the garrison.

"These are some of my ideas. You can take a look at it first, the two families of the Qing family."

Emperor Chongzhen picked up a letter and handed it to Wang Chengen beside him, saying to Wang Zaijin and others: "If you have any different opinions, you can put them all out. Our monarch and ministers will refine the corresponding details and effectively implement the military system adjustment of the Ming Dynasty."

Wang Chengen held this official letter and walked towards Wang Zaijin and the others. At this time, the Donghun Pavilion was very quiet. Wang Zaijin and Huang Liji was in a complicated mood.

Adjusting the Ming military system is no trivial.

If it is corrected, everyone will be happy.

If it is broken, it will be dangerous.

Emperor Chongzhen sat firmly on the dragon throne, looking at the two with complicated expressions, but a faint smile appeared on their faces. He could guess at what they thought in their hearts.

It is nothing more than promoting the reform of the Ming military system. It is a matter of wide involvement and involves many interests. If it is gradually promoted in the Ming Dynasty, it will inevitably arouse many oppositions.

Everything is difficult at the beginning.

Only with one can there be two.

If the Ming Dynasty did not plan for reform and reform and waited for the fate of the Ming Dynasty, the country would be overthrown more than ten years later, which Emperor Chongzhen would never want to see.

"Your Majesty, you plan to completely sack the garrison, but you only leave the Dushi system and recruit it in the form of a 'militia'. Isn't this the same as the garrison?"

Wang Zaijin frowned slightly and looked at Emperor Chongzhen and said, "There are also the commander of this guard, thousands of households, hundreds of households and other positions, and they have been retained accordingly, but the hereditary attributes have been gradually removed. I don't understand what Your Majesty conceived.

What is the purpose of this set of names called hiding soldiers to the people?”

"This is not difficult to understand."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "In the future, the capital departments of all provinces in our Ming Dynasty will be fully responsible for screening the source of soldiers, recruiting militias, regular training, promoting recruitment of soldiers, condolences and comforting, and issuing meritorious plaques, etc., so as to serve as the new cornerstone of the Ming military system.

The powers and meanings it carries are to support the implementation of the voluntary recruitment system of Daming.

When the army formed in the Ming Dynasty needed to recruit new soldiers, they would pass the militia recruited by the provincial capitals and completed the corresponding assessment, and then recruited new soldiers to be established in various places to receive corresponding exercises and practices, and carried out according to the actual needs of the army in various places.

distribute."

In fact, many of the existing systems of the Ming Dynasty that control the army can be directly used as the military framework of the Ming Dynasty through improvement and revision.

Emperor Chongzhen only needed to add a part of new yamen on this basis to adjust and clarify the corresponding powers to ensure that the military system could be improved.

The Ming Dynasty Metropolitan System was the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's new military system. Later, the establishment of government agencies at all levels in provinces, prefectures, prefectures, counties and townships to ensure the implementation of all powers under the jurisdiction.

The Governor's Office of the Five Army was the pillar of the new military system of the Ming Dynasty. Later, the military system of war zones, military regions, military sub-districts was clarified, and the field army and garrisons of different levels were governed. Focusing on fighting and preparing for war, it gradually promoted the transformation of the Ming army.

In response to the above adjustments and deployments, Emperor Chongzhen also clarified many new government agencies. Considering the current situation, he did not explain it to Wang Zaijin, Huang Liji and others.

After all, it is extremely tedious to plan to reform the Ming military system, especially the Ming civil servants who are staring at this area, which will expose too much at once, which will arouse strong opposition.

Regarding the existing new military system that can be revealed, Wang Zaijin, Huang Liji and others raised many questions, and Emperor Chongzhen also answered them one by one.

For example, food and wages, establishment, promotion, supervision, rewards and other matters. After all, if such adjustments are really needed, it will inevitably involve a core point, that is, whether it will cause separatist vassals and self-respecting, but for Emperor Chongzhen

How could these things happen?

Emperor Chongzhen proposed the military system to reform, in order to allow the Ming Dynasty to have an army that can fight, rather than seeking death, making the Ming Dynasty even more chaotic.
