However, this matter is still very complicated to do. Just rectifying the situation of each health center is a big project.
Of course, Emperor Chongzhen had no intention at all, and just requested that it be rolled out across the country. The first thing he wanted to do was to build a railway from the subway mining area in Gyeonggi to the capital. Therefore, the first batch of health stations to be reorganized were
They are just health centers around the capital.
By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the most serious problem with the guard system was that military fields were occupied by private individuals. Either the local area was too powerful, or the military generals were so powerful that Emperor Taizu was so proud that he said that millions of troops were not needed
It is simply impossible to spend a penny on the imperial court.
In addition, the military generals treated their military households like cattle and horses, which was also a major drawback in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
All these factors led to a large number of military households fleeing from various guard posts in the late Ming Dynasty. There may not even be 300 people in a thousand-household post on the books.
In this way, the pressure on Emperor Chongzhen to adapt the guard system was reduced a lot. At least for him, the initial investment was less.
Previously, a decree had been issued, requiring the various military offices to clear their villages and pay their taxes. I don't know what the situation is like in other places, but at least it has some effect under the Imperial City.
After Emperor Chongzhen started to reorganize the guard posts, he immediately sent out two factories and one guard and officials from the Ministry of War on a large scale to check the situation of each guard post.
Military households in each guard station who are in the military establishment will all be converted into railway soldiers and included in the roster of the Railway Department. If the military households are old and weak, they will be asked to replace them with a young and strong one from the military household. If there is no one, they will be recruited from the family.
Pick one out of the middle.
This is what the original guard did, and Emperor Chongzhen's approach has not changed.
If it had been the past, there would have been escapes. No one would want the young men and women in the family to work as cattle and horses for those officials.
However, this time, the imperial court made it clear that those who are included in the roster of railway soldiers will not be in arrears with one or two military pay a month. If there is any deduction, they can directly file a complaint against the emperor.
In addition, the military land of the original guard station will be distributed to the military households of the original guard station. In principle, every household has one, but if there are young adults in the family who are included in the railway corps roster, more military land will be allocated.
These reforms are intended to be piloted first in the health centers in the capital, especially those around the capital.
If we say that reform is actually about the distribution of interests, it will definitely harm the interests of some people. Then most of the people who suffer losses are military officers, such as the 100 households in the 100-household office, the 1000-household in the 1000-household office, and no matter how high they are,
Dusi, or a powerful person adjacent to military fields.
If the place is remote, these people will definitely be able to struggle. However, under the roots of this imperial city, the biggest power is Emperor Chongzhen. Anyone who dares to resist him is overestimating his own capabilities.
On the surface, the second victim of this restructuring was Emperor Chongzhen himself.
Because the railway soldiers belong to the newly established Railway Department of the Inner Palace, they are required to receive military pay every month. This is a large amount of money that was not spent before.
Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the emperor failed to take responsibility this time.
Now that the emperor has gone through this, the people below him will not dare to make trouble. Otherwise, who can compare with the emperor's dedication?
While many people are unwilling to give in, they are also secretly watching the show.
They no longer believe it. If the emperor can resist the reform of the railway troops in the garrison in the capital, how can he resist the railway troops in the national garrison?
Also, even if you pay one month's military salary, you will have to pay monthly military salary in the future. How much money does your emperor have, and is it enough?
They believed that sooner or later Emperor Chongzhen would be unable to bear the restructuring of so many guard posts, and would eventually let the reform of this guard post go quietly.
Based on such expectations, Emperor Chongzhen's reform of the railway corps went smoothly. Every guard post was reorganized efficiently.
Of course, this matter is easy to say, but it also diverted a lot of Emperor Chongzhen's energy.
The reorganization of the Beijing camp, the expansion of the Yongwei camp, the logistics supply of the Military War Bureau, and now the railway corps matters, preparations for railway construction, teaching at the Academy of Sciences, inspections at the Military Academy, etc., Emperor Chongzhen
I do it myself and don't dare to be careless in the slightest.
The reason for this is that he is really afraid. He is afraid that at this time, widespread corruption, personal enrichment and other problems will appear in these aspects.
………………
While he was busy with this, the two armies joined forces in Shanxi.
Xianglin, the white-poled army horse, looked at the Tanma in front of him with great surprise and confirmed: "My mother is in front?"
Although it was a question, it was actually affirmative. Because what he saw in front of him was not only the detective horses of his own team, but also the detective horses of Qin Liangyu's White Pole Army.
When the two sides came to visit Ma Xianglin, some of them followed him to see Ma Xianglin.
No, Ma Xianglin couldn't wait for a reply, and immediately shouted to the people around him: "You lead the army to follow, I will take the first step!"
In the first half of the sentence, he was explaining to his subordinates. In the second half, he was telling the eunuch beside him who was delivering the order.
Ma Xianglin couldn't wait to separate and talk. After he finished speaking in a hurry, he clamped the horse's belly with both legs. The horse was in pain under his crotch and jumped out with a "whoosh", spreading his legs and galloping forward.
When many of the white-pole army officers saw him, they all smiled knowingly. Then Ma Xianglin's personal guards immediately scolded their horses and chased after Ma Xianglin.
Gao Shiyue, the eunuch who delivered the order, was also one of the popular eunuchs around Emperor Chongzhen. He knew very well the emperor's trust in the Baigan Army.
Therefore, he didn't care about Ma Xianglin's relatively rude behavior. He smiled and then praised: "General Ma, you are so filial!"
……………
On Qin Liangyu's side, she had just received a report from the expedition, saying that she had encountered her son's army ahead, and she was a little surprised.
Because before, she only knew that her son was suppressing bandits in the Central Plains, probably in the Xiangyang area, but due to the war and inconvenient transportation, she did not know what happened behind Ma Xianglin.
It was naturally a little strange to suddenly meet him in Jin.
But whether it's strange or not, she hasn't seen her son for several years. Even if she has grandchildren at home, she still misses her son very much.
Especially since she already knew that her daughter-in-law Zhang Fengyi died in the battle to suppress bandits, she was even more worried about her son.
Naturally, Qin Liangyu could not have known that if the original historical development were to follow, just a few months later, his son would die in Xiangyang and die for his country.
At this time, when she was thinking about her son, she saw a horse galloping in front of her in the distance on the straight ahead.
Although he was far away, Qin Liangyu knew that it was her son as soon as she saw that figure. Suddenly, her eyes couldn't help but become moist.
Although she was a heroic woman, she had led troops in wars for many years, was used to seeing life and death, and had experienced the constant death of her relatives and friends in battle. But at the same time, she was also a mother, who worked hard to raise her son.
Seeing my son's healthy and healthy posture, I felt relieved and I would be lying if I said I wasn't excited.
It is said that the war lasts for three months, and a letter from home is worth ten thousand gold! Not to mention, it is even more rare to be able to see your relatives in person when you have been leading troops to fight all year round, and the thieves are becoming more and more fierce.
"mother……"
When you get closer, you can hear Ma Xianglin's shout.
Seeing this situation, the soldiers of the White Guard Army involuntarily stopped their progress and watched their commander continue to drive his horses slowly.
Ma Xianglin galloped until he was in front of Qin Liangyu, then he reined in the reins, immediately rolled off the saddle and fell off the horse. While kneeling on one knee, he clasped his hands in his fists, raised his head excitedly and said loudly: "My child has seen your mother!"
His one eye was staring at Qin Liangyu up and down, fearing that he would be injured.
Just as Qin Liangyu was worried about him, he was also worried about Qin Liangyu.
Unlike other family members, his mother led troops to fight for the country, but hid in the compound. As much as his mother worried about him, he worried about his mother.
It can be said that he worries about his mother far more than he misses his son at home.
When Qin Liangyu saw her son in front of her, she also got off her horse, quickly approached her son, stretched out her hand to help him, and said with a smile on her face: "My son, is he injured?"
"No, mother, the baby is fine!" After Ma Xianglin stood up, he patted his chest and said loudly, "Look, you are pretending!"
Qin Liangyu was very relieved to see that her son was really fine. Then she asked about her whereabouts and said, "Why are you in Jin, aren't you over there in Xiangyang?"
Hearing this, Ma Xianglin did not answer immediately, but asked with concern: "Mom, are you okay? My child said that you are so old, just stay at home, and you are still leading troops to fight everywhere.
The child is always worried!"
When Qin Liangyu heard this, he immediately smiled and replied while still looking at his son: "The affairs of the country are so difficult. How can I sit at home if my mother is capable? It is my duty to eat the emperor's salary and be loyal to the emperor.
The emperor's kindness is so great that we should be loyal to the king and restore peace to the world as soon as possible!"
Hearing this, Ma Xianglin immediately nodded and said to Qin Liangyu with a smile: "Mother is right! The child came to the capital from Xiangyang a long time ago."
Having said this, he paused and said excitedly: "Mother, do you think the emperor transferred the child to the capital for what purpose?"
Seeing his son looking so happy, Qin Liangyu smiled and said, "It seems you have received a lot of rewards, right?"
"What do you think the reward is?" Ma Xianglin asked excitedly after hearing this.
There is nothing better than a mother who knows her son well. Seeing her son so happy, Qin Liangyu knew that this reward would definitely not be low.
So, she asked curiously: "My son, don't let your mother guess blindly. They just give you a title, or gold and silver, what else can you get?"
Hearing this, Ma Xianglin smiled happily. My mother has always been wise, but now she can't guess at all.
However, he did not dare to whet his mother's appetite, so he smiled and said, "My mother would never have imagined what the emperor would reward me this time!"
"Oh?" Qin Liangyu was curious when he heard it. From what his son meant, this reward was unexpected and very good?
