Chapter 838: Breaking the Shomen Hereditary

Zhang Yu is gone.

On the fifth day of the victory in the Great War, he died of illness in the army.

Zhu Di immediately issued a decree and posthumously named Zhang Yu as the king of Hejian, and later changed it to King Rong, and his nickname was Zhongwu!

The civil official name begins with the text, the military general's name begins with the military, and the civil and military titles begin with loyalty...... Although Zhang Yu, as a general, fought on the battlefield and made countless meritorious contributions, he advocated the reform of the military system, and made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty and had unparalleled morality. The nickname is loyal and martial, and it lives up to its name!

For Zhang Yu's death, Zhu Di closed his door for three days, did not eat or drink, and thought hard about his old friends...... After Zhu Di came out, he ordered the whole army to return to the court.

Because of Zhang Yu's death, the joy of the great victory has been weakened many times. People were just sent to greet them, and firecrackers, drums, music, and flowers were all reduced to a minimum.

Because of this, the victorious army returned much faster than ever.

After Zhu Di came back, he only rested for three days, and immediately issued an order to convene all civil and military forces to carry out a thorough reform of the military system...... There is no doubt that this reform is aimed at touching the core of the entire military system, and no one, including the cabinet ministers, knows which parts are planned to be moved.

Yang Shiqi and the others could only watch, and the rest of the generals were also excluded.

There are only two people who are really responsible for the reform of the military system, one is Taifu Liuchun, and the other is Liang Guogong Lanyu.

"I really can't imagine that the old man has survived to this day, and can actually witness the birth of a new military system...... The Ming Dynasty has been stable for a long time, and the country has been around for thousands of years, all relying on this! ”

Lan Yu patted the thick reform plan and said from the bottom of his heart.

Liu Chun chuckled, "Don't be too optimistic about your old man, this plan has touched both the civil and military sides at the same time, and the whole world will be disturbed, and we will inevitably be scolded when the time comes......"

Lan Yu shook his head, "Scold, scold, what else can you do with us?" What's more, the old man has his own way, so they can't scold it, so you can see it. ”

The old father-in-law was full of confidence, and Liu Chun also smiled.

Yes, after coming to this point, will he still be afraid of distractions?

It's time for a radical change.

……

"There is only one core to reform the military system this time...... Since the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, to make it clear, the army of the Ming Dynasty is subordinate to His Majesty the Emperor, maintains the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and protects the people of the Ming Dynasty...... Therefore, the source of the army must be all the people of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"To make it clear, every young man of school age, even women, has the obligation to join the army!"

After Liu Chun finished speaking, he glanced at the audience and smiled slightly.

"What do you think, big guy?"

Not how!

Everyone was stunned, not only civil officials, but also military generals and nobles, all of whom were staring at each other.

Your Mrs. Liu is really amazing.

No matter what time it is, you have the ability to get everyone to oppose it!

Yang Shiqi was the first to speak, he didn't ask!

"Taifu, do you mean that all the people are soldiers?"

Liu Chun nodded.

Yang Shiqi was even more surprised, "Taifu, since ancient times, the Central Plains has drawn one out of ten at most, and even one out of 100 in peaceful years...... Even if it's a barbarian, it's only one out of three, and two out of five...... Like Taifu, everyone has to join the army, even women are among them, this, who is this going to fight? ”

Jin Youzi also said: "That's right, how can the imperial court have the financial resources to support so many people? ”

Liu Chun smiled and waved his hand, "What I said about everyone has the obligation to join the army, it is a principle, not everyone really wants to enter the barracks...... In fact, what the Ming Dynasty needs now, all the soldiers and horses will not exceed one million. What we need is to select the best of the best, select the best personnel into the army, and ensure combat effectiveness. ”

"To put it simply, it is to cast a wide net, expand the scope as much as possible, and increase the space for choice as much as possible, not limited to military households...... Door! ”

When the last two words came out, those noble and military ministers who had been silent finally reacted.

Sure enough, there is a conspiracy, and a good pit awaits them!

As we all know, since the imperial examination, the rise of the Hanmen, the family that originally monopolized the officialdom has rapidly declined...... But at the same time, martial arts also existed, but martial arts did not shake the status of Jiangmen.

The two Song Dynasty had generals, and the noble military ministers of the Ming Dynasty also had great authority, even famous generals like Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang, their ancestors were also hereditary generals.

In other words, it is almost impossible for ordinary people to become military generals.

So don't look at the Ming Dynasty's emphasis on literature and light on martial arts, but even if it is a military general, it is not an existence that ordinary people can touch.

In the final analysis, the military attache system is relatively closed, and the education and training of military generals are not systematic, and ordinary people cannot get in touch with them at all. Good positions and opportunities are held at all levels.

There are princes and nobles above, hereditary generals in the middle, and further down, there are a large number of children of military families.

Although the military household is miserable, as a system, it can always exist for a reason. At least those hereditary commanders, thousands of households, and hundreds of households, are still very supportive.

is like the third master, he originally adopted his son, but he just wanted to continue his hereditary status.

Therefore, if we want to solve the problem of emphasizing literature over martial arts, the key is not to improve the treatment of martial artists, but to break the small circle of martial artists.

This is the core of Yoo Chun's reform plan.

All the people are obliged to join the army, and the selection of martial artists is open to the whole country.

Once this policy is established, the monopoly of the military generals will also collapse and disappear, and the hereditary generals will inevitably be impacted, or even completely wiped out!

"Your Majesty!"

Wucheng Marquis Wang Cong immediately stood up, this time he followed Zhu Di on the expedition, made a lot of contributions, and when he came back, he was still thinking about going further and sealing the title of a national prince, how do you know that he actually waited for the news of the military reform, what is this?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that leading troops to fight is different from reading exams...... Since ancient times, learning military affairs requires family learning, inheritance from fathers, and teaching by elder brothers...... If it is an ordinary peasant who does not know how to dance knives and guns, and let them go to the battlefield, it is no different from killing people! ”

Wang Cong glanced at Liu Chun and squeezed out a smile, "Taifu's intentions are far-reaching, I will wait for the five bodies to fall to the ground...... Now that my Ming Dynasty has just defeated Harry, the army is in full swing, and it is invincible. I thought there was no need for reform, but I don't know what to do? ”

Liu Chun smiled indifferently, "Marquis Wu Cheng, I don't know if you have a high birthday this year?" ”

Wang Cong was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Taifu? Do you think I'm old and mediocre? Although Wang is fifty-eight years old, he can still make a long knife, this time I fought with Harrye, I slashed more than 20 people, captured thousands, and asked myself about my energy and physical strength, not weaker than young people! Taifu, don't you think veterans are useless? ”

Liu Chun shook his head slightly, "Veterans have made great contributions, and they are not new, but veterans will always wither." What if all the veterans are gone and the newcomers can't keep up? ”

Wang Cong snorted: "Then according to Taifu's meaning, as long as it is changed, will it be possible to produce many famous generals?" ”

Liu Chun was about to speak, when Lan Yu suddenly coughed.

Hearing Lan Yu's cough, Wang Cong subconsciously shuddered. This thing can't be feared, Wang Cong's father was the commander back then, and Lan Yu was already the Hou Ye, the difference in status, one in the sky and the other underground, it can't be compared!

"Liang Guogong, what do you old man teach?"

Lan Yu snorted, "How dare I teach you?" Taifu speaks, you are full of words, I'm afraid that your mouth is three points more powerful than the knife in your hand? ”

Wang Cong's old face was flushed, and he could only keep arching his hand, "Liang Guogong, in his later life, he just talked about things, and he didn't mean anything else." ”

Lan Yu chuckled, "Wang Cong, of course the old man knows, so the old man doesn't blame you, it's just that this military reform is imperative." This is not only the meaning of the Taifu, but also the meaning of the old man, if you have any questions, you can ask the old man, say, I will listen! ”

Wang Cong opened his mouth, stunned and didn't know what to say...... Like him, Huo Zhen, Zheng Heng, Li Yuan, Wang Zhong, these people looked at each other, although they were all marquises, they had a high status among the heroes of the Jingjing. But after all, it is not as good as those princes.

Now that Zhang Yu is dead, Qiu Fu is gone, and the entire Jingnan heroes have lost their backbone. It's just too passive.

As for Zhu Neng, the big guy has no hope at all, that guy is Liu Chun's follower, it is simply a "shame of the country", Zhu Neng, who is despised by a lot of people, sneered in his heart at the moment.

He suddenly stepped forward, "Your Majesty, Mrs. Fang asked Wang Cong's age, and the minister also said that I am forty-two years old this year...... Among the many princes, he is considered young. It can't be compared with King Qi and King Rong, in the past few years, I have been walking in the army, and I feel more and more frightened and shuddering. ”

"Old, old! People who were thirty or forty years old at the beginning are now in their fifties and sixties, even if they can still lead troops to fight, how many years can they last? Wang Cong. You say, can you still lead the army for ten or eight years, or three or five years? ”

Wang Cong gritted his teeth and said: "Chengguo Gong, I am loyal to Your Majesty, I will do my best, and I will die!" ”

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Neng laughed, "If you are really loyal, you should thoroughly reform the military system for the long-term consideration of the Ming Dynasty, and select generals in the world, so that you can truly create an invincible Ming hero, this is what our warriors should do to be loyal to Your Majesty, in short, we must take into account the overall situation." ”

Zhu Neng's statement made people's eyes shine, when did this guy become so noble? It's so unusual. Enjoying his amazed gaze, Zhu Neng was even more speechless, "Your Majesty, martial arts have been established before, and many of the disciples of the generals have entered the martial arts study...... Now it is even more necessary to expand the enrollment of students, allow the children of civilians to enter the martial arts, and abolish the local guard centers, and integrate all soldiers and horses into the forbidden army system. From now on, whether it is the forbidden army or the local garrison, no hereditary military ministers are allowed! ”

The happy smile on Zhu Di's face, in the end, is an old brother, Zhu Neng is very good!

He stood up and immediately lowered the resistance to the change by too much.

Zhu Di said with satisfaction: "I can agree to the hereditary title, but the position in the army involves fighting with soldiers and major military affairs, so I think it is better to go through martial arts training and select at all levels...... This matter will be handed over to Taifu, Liang Guogong, and Cheng Guogong, and the three of you will be responsible for implementing it! ”
