"Lao Zhu, there is a problem with your health policy!" Xiaoqiang said.

"Xiaoqiang, I don't spend half a copper plate on the people, raise millions of soldiers, you kid, raise soldiers with high salaries, how many copper plates do you have in your pocket?" Old Zhu Dao.

A certain Xiaoqiang rummaged through the clothes on his body, and there was not a copper plate, so he lowered his head in shame!

……

December 27, 1652, the city of Nanjing.

The imperial court issued an edict that the guard system from the seventeenth year of Hongwu (1384) was abolished and replaced with the Ming imperial army, including the field army, the garrison army and the coast guard.

In the seventeenth year of Hongwu (1384), the Ming Dynasty set up military guards in various military important places across the country.

The first guard has an army of 5,600 people, and there are 1,000 households, 100 households, general flags and small banners under it, and each guard is subordinate to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and is also subordinate to the military department.

The implementation of this law is coordinated by a set of household registration systems that can guarantee the number of troops to maintain the operation of the guard system.

The military system of the Ming Dynasty was actually based on the experience of the Chinese historical tuntian, and it was a kind of army building system that combined the army with the peasants and the garrison.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the initiator, said triumphantly: "I raise millions of soldiers, and it doesn't cost the people a grain of rice." ”

Ironically, even if it was the founding emperor, the deserters in the guard were a lot of them, and they didn't give Lao Zhu face.

After Lao Zhu, there were more and more deserters, and in the middle of the period, the guard system was completely corrupted, and the Ming army was defeated by the Japanese invaders, the Mongols and the Tatars.

The implementation of the guard system, Lao Zhu wants to reduce the burden of the people is good, but it is too anti-human, once he enters the guard, he can never get out of the country, and he will be a soldier of the guard for the rest of his life!

If the guards are good to eat and drink, the problem is that the officers of the guards embezzle the fields of the guards and force the soldiers to work for them for free, and the means used are naturally not so river crabs.

The system of guards collapsed, and the military households were reduced to slavery!

In addition, it is common for farming to have good years and bad years, and when the crops fail, the officers and soldiers of the guard station are poor, have no food and clothing, go to the streets to beg, and have no money and are short of breath, can such an army still fight?

The officers and men of the guard were driven away like ducks by the Japanese bandits, and the eight Japanese soldiers dared to fight a thousand guards.

The old wild boar skin bullied the officers and soldiers of the guard to tears, and a hundred Tatar cavalry dared to rush to the ten thousand guards, and the head of the general was taken in the army, no problem!

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers of the guard were really overwhelmed, and the generals were recruited to fight, but the imperial court did not have enough military pay for them, so they robbed the people to obtain supplies, resulting in the loss of popular support, and let King Li Chuang sit in the Dragon Court.

In contrast, a certain small forced "military politics", the highest status of the soldiers, the high income, years of victory raised a strong army, proud soldiers, a pair of invincible opponents all over the world, such an army, it is difficult to defeat the battle!

Therefore, after the Xinming Dynasty took over the world, the system of the guard house gradually withdrew from the rivers and lakes, and began to prepare second-hand during the Yao Minggong period, one is to clean up the people and property of the guard, and the other is to establish the royal army.

This work has been done, the decay of the guard system is well known, no one has opened their eyes for them, only some officials said that the ancestral system cannot be changed, but was refuted by Ma Shiying, and moved out of Wang Anshi's words: "The sky is not enough to fear, the ancestors are not enough to be afraid, and the words of people are not enough to be compassionate!" ”

Everyone was stunned, this former governor of Fengyang is going against the sky!

He was so determined that the princess supported him, so the reform of the guard was vigorously carried out.

And the officers and soldiers of the guard who have suffered successive defeats can't stand up, and they just hope that the imperial court will arrange them properly.

It's easy to say!

It is nothing more than a three-board axe such as redemption, infrastructure construction, absorption of labor, immigration, etc., one trick is fresh, and it is eaten all over the world!

Seriously, Ma Shiying admires the leader to the ground, this Yang is born with a vicious appearance of a pirate, combing his hair, even if he wears the clothes of a Ming civil official like a butcher and not like a literati, he is the father of the queen on the other side of the sea, the father-in-law of the country!

Ma Shiying initially thought that the leader had sent him to restrain him and control the affairs of the new dynasty, and was thinking about bringing Yang Tiansheng to the stage and serving him well.

I didn't expect people to come to do business, although he was a second assistant, in fact, he ran the whole country, he said that he couldn't sit in the lobby at all, and only thought about on-site research and office.

He worked vigorously and resolutely, traveled quickly, rode horses to work in various places, grasped the first-hand situation, others could not deceive him, and made decisions quickly

At first, Ma Shiying thought that Yang Cifu was fake, but he didn't expect that he would really only work and not talk empty words.

The wind is light, do not fight for power and profit, do not make small moves behind the scenes, say one is one, say two is two.

He is honest, does not accept bribes, does not eat invitations, and treats guests with a cup of tea.

Is this a pirate origin?

The children of wealthy families do not have such an atmosphere, they have the posture of a capable minister, and he takes care of things when he has something, reads books when he has nothing to do, and reads a lot of books.

He said with a grateful look: "In the southeastern country, because of my special status, in order to avoid suspicion, the leader does not dare to use me much, but here, Her Royal Highness Princess Meng will not give up and enable me, how can I not bow down and die!" ”

As for reading, he modestly said that he used to read less and was deceived a lot, but now that he has the opportunity to read, he should hurry up and read more books.

Ma Shiying was ashamed, knowing that he was a gentleman with the belly of a villain, and people not only came to gild, but also really wanted to do something practical.

A pirate knows this, Ma Shiying, as a two-rank jinshi, has read the books of sages, how can he fall behind!

So, a two-list jinshi and a pirate began their close cooperation, and Ma Shiying said to the officials in public: "Yang Ge Lao is Ma Ge Lao, Ma Ge Lao is Yang Ge Lao, what official business is there, serve with your heart!" If you don't comply, don't blame your face. ””

There is no dispute between the DPRK and China, and things are easy to do, whether it is the reform of the health center or the change of Cao Yun to sea transportation, it is a rapid progress, and it has become a great cause!

Defend the matter, done!

The guards who once had millions of troops disappeared, and the soldiers all returned to civilian nationality, and if they wanted to join the army, they must first be screened.

The land of the guard post was divided into households according to the number of people, and the people's land was not as easy to be encroached upon as the land of the guard house, so the soldiers of the old guard post were stabilized.

Engaged in infrastructure construction and absorbed a large number of guards to work.

Then there are immigrants, although it is far away, but the real land is still quite attractive.

In ancient China, the people had a deep affection for the land, and they were almost the first among foreign objects! They think that no matter how much money they make, if they don't have land and real estate, they are all rootless duckweed, and everything is a floating cloud!

To encourage self-employment, all of them will be issued with silver taels, and policies will be given to solve the problem of employment of soldiers in the old guards.

An important one, the Ming army has been reborn, the royal army has been formed, and it has taken on the heavy responsibility of defending the country.

On the whole, although there were twists and turns in the process, but the general trend was like a rolling torrent, until August 1654, the last guard office in Yunnan was abolished, and the Ming guard office completely entered history.
