"The imperial court wants to implement the compulsory military service system in Beizhili and conduct a pilot trial~"
"The imperial court reformed the military system and took the lead in implementing the pilot project in Beizhili~"
The first issue of the New Year's Day Ming Morning News immediately released a bombshell news. The imperial court was going to implement a compulsory military service system in Beizhili, conduct pilot projects, reform the military system, establish a military academy, and implement a compulsory military service system.
"Give me one~Give me one~"
In the streets and alleys of the capital, accompanied by the shouts of newsboys, the old and young men in the capital immediately took out their copper coins to buy a newspaper and prepared to take a good look at this compulsory military service system.
Soon, as one newspaper after another was bought, young and old men throughout the Beijing and Tianjin areas began to take a closer look at this new compulsory military service system.
According to the newly issued official notice from the imperial court, the imperial court is preparing to reform the military system from the original military household system to the compulsory military service system. In order to implement a smooth transition and connection, the imperial court is the first to implement a pilot project here in Beizhili.
The compulsory military service system and the establishment of the Ming Dynasty's first military academy - the Ming Dynasty Royal Military Academy.
The contents of the compulsory military service system are clearly stated in the Mingming Morning Post.
According to the official document issued by the imperial court, the imperial court will abolish the military household system in Beizhili. All military households will be changed from household registration to peasant household registration and will no longer be subject to the restrictions of military household registration. At the same time, the imperial court will send officials to measure the original military households.
The fields of each household will be distributed equally among the military households in the guard station.
While abolishing the military household system, a compulsory military service system was implemented in Beizhili.
Under the new compulsory military service system, all adult men with registered residence in the Northern Zhili region and between the ages of 16 and 25 are obliged to perform military service.
The imperial court plans to recruit the first batch of 10,000 recruits here in Beizhili. All adult men who meet the conditions and requirements must report to the local government offices and then undergo an initial physical examination at the local government offices.
After the local government office conducts the initial physical examination, it will be gathered here in the capital for another physical screening, which also requires identity information screening.
New recruits recruited under the compulsory military system only recruit people from good families. Those who have committed crimes will not be accepted. At the same time, a letter of recommendation from the township is required to prove that you are from a good family.
This is a bit like the imperial examination system, which requires strict screening of the candidates' identities to ensure that they are all from good families.
At the same time, newspapers also published detailed information on the benefits of the compulsory military system.
First, if someone in the family passes the physical and identity screening and is determined to be drafted as a compulsory soldier, during the four years of military service, the court will exempt the family from all taxes and corvee, and enjoy the same benefits as the general public.
treatment.
Second, during military service, all expenses of the conscripts will be borne by the court. At the same time, they can also receive a monthly salary, which is temporarily set at one tael of silver per month.
One tael of silver a month. This level is set with reference to the income of ordinary people in the Beijing-Tianjin area. It is not high, but it is not low either. The key is that the family members are exempted from taxes and corvee, as well as military service.
All expenses during this period were paid by the imperial court, which made it very competitive.
Third, if one dies for the country during military service, one can be listed as a Ming Dynasty martyr, and the family can be exempted from taxes and corvee service for fifteen years. At the same time, one can continue to receive the moon ring until all their children reach the age of sixteen.
Fourth, once you become a compulsory soldier, you can learn literacy, arithmetic, astronomy, geography and other knowledge for free in the army. Those who perform well can enter the Ming Dynasty Royal Military Academy for further studies and become Ming Dynasty officers.
Fifth, all conscripts who have served in the military will not be affected by military service after they retire, and military service will not affect their children's imperial examinations, etc. At the same time, after retirement, the court will make arrangements for retirement work.
The Ming Dynasty Morning Post has written all the information about the compulsory military system in great detail, from the scope of conscription and conscription conditions, to the time of military service, the benefits that can be enjoyed, etc., everything is clearly written.
"Long live the emperor~Long live, long live~"
"The military household system has finally been abolished. We military households no longer have to work for those thousands or hundreds of households. We no longer have to look at the faces of those thousands or military households. Our children can also take the imperial examination~
"
After some people who came from military families saw this news, they couldn't help but feel happy and miserable.
The most miserable people in the military household system are these military households.
If you want status, there is no status, if you want money, there is no money, and if you want a future, there is no future. Even the descendants of the military families have been in ruins for generations, and it is difficult to find a wife. No one is willing to marry their daughter.
A dilapidated military household.
Military households are really suffering.
The military fields have been occupied by military officers and nobles, and it is difficult to even feed their families. They don't have enough to eat. The key is to make cattle and horses for the hundreds or thousands of households above, and work hard for them to farm and do things.
.
And they dare not complain, because their life and death are in the hands of hundreds or thousands of households, and this has been true for generations to come.
Now that the military household system has been abolished here in Beizhili, the happiest people are the military households in various guard stations in North Zhili. Many military households secretly come to the Beijing and Tianjin areas to work. They are actually on tenterhooks all day long, for fear of being raped.
Thousands and hundreds of households in the guardhouse were taken back, so even the wages were lower than others.
Once the military household system is abolished, they will no longer be military households, but farmers. Not only will they no longer have to endure the exploitation of thousands or hundreds of households, but their descendants will also be able to take the imperial examinations and learn crafts.
You can go do business, etc., and you no longer have to be restricted by your status as a military household.
The military households who heard the news couldn't help but shout long live and for the great tomorrow. As soon as this system came out, they really turned around. From now on, they could straighten their backs and live their lives, and they were no longer the lowly and run-down military households.
, I will never be called Qiu Ba again.
"It's over, I want to be a soldier~"
Unlike the military households who celebrated happily, the other Ming people were immediately frightened when they saw that everyone had to serve in the military.
This good man is too good to be a soldier, and he is too good to hammer nails.
Being a soldier has not been a good thing since ancient times. I have never seen how dilapidated, poor and miserable those military households are. The key is that future generations will be affected. They can't even take the imperial examination, and they have the lowest status.
Moreover, the common people have always been afraid when they see the word "service". Taxes, taxes and corvees all cost the lives of the common people. Military service and military service, when the word "service" is mentioned, the common people instinctively feel extremely fearful.
What's more, this is military service and being a soldier, which is even more frightening.
