The hall fell silent because of Chongzhen's sigh.

The Governor's Office of the Five Armies once commanded all the soldiers and horses in the world, except for the Son of Heaven's own army, including the 72 guards of the Beijing camp, as well as the local guards, all of which were under the control of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.

Most of the governors of the five armies are the so-called noble lords who rest with the country, and their ancestors may have followed Zhu Chongba, followed Zhu Di to fight in the south and the north, and made great contributions.

The relatives have inherited the titles handed down from their ancestors for generations, not to mention the brocade clothes and jade food, and they each hold heavy power.

What kind of prince will Xiangning have?

This damn hereditary! Liu Hong, who is also a hereditary earl, gradually scolded secretly.

Although the Governor's Office of the Five Armies has lost the right to participate in politics and discuss politics, a leader is either a prince or a marquis from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

Even if it is an earl, it is also a super-grade existence in the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that all the governors in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies are also members of the first grade, and it is really embarrassing for Old Man Li to let a second-grade military department Shangshu do trouble.

The abolition of the military household system is to cut off the financial path of all the nobles, if all the nobles are united and Chongzhen is tough, and then there is a Qingjun or something, wouldn't the initiator of himself sing Liangliang?

It seems that you still can't be reckless! Gotta stabilize those stray hairs first, well, there you have it! Liu Hong suddenly remembered the story of boiling frogs in warm water.

"Your Majesty, maybe there is a compromise method, which can not only allow the imperial court to recruit enough soldiers, but also stabilize the nobles of the Ming Dynasty!"

Liu Hongjian meant that since there was too much resistance to the abolition of the military household system at once, it was written that when recruiting soldiers, it was limited to ten years, and all soldiers who had served for ten years could not be admitted to the army.

If the original military households do not move, and then raise the military salaries high, and do a good job of supervising and distributing them in full, it is presumably that the enthusiasm of the people who have not even had food to enlist in the army will be greatly enhanced.

As for his own thousand-household office, I'm sorry, Liu Hongjian must have removed his soldiers from the military, and he only recruited one thousand-household office, presumably those nobles will not obstruct it.

Newly recruited soldiers must also be trained by reliable generals recommended by Lao Li of the Ministry of War, so as to avoid being assimilated by those nobles who have long lost their ancestral genes for good fighting.

The army must be firmly in the hands of the emperor, the army is the emperor's butcher's knife, and the brocade guard is the eagle's eye.

Wait until the strong soldiers are trained, hum!

Liu Hong's speed of speech was very slow, and Chongzhen was also listening carefully, occasionally frowning slightly.

Chongzhen has been in politics for many years, and sometimes it is just limited to some problems that he can't understand because of the solidification of his thinking.

Then with a wave of his hand, he recruited 100,000 soldiers, and that's it!

Coming out of the palace, Liu Hong gradually went straight to the military department to discuss the conscription with Li Banghua, Li Banghua listened to Liu Hongji's strategy is also very praised, and then, laying paper grinding, thinking a little, writing hard, less inclined two conscription essays jumped on the paper.

"Conscription Notice"

"The world is declining, the rivers are falling, there are barbarians outside, and there are rogue people poisoning the people, for the common people in the world, in accordance with the holy decree, the Ming Dynasty conscription edict is issued, conscription of 100,000 soldiers, the edict is as follows:

Bingyuan's original household registration must be from Beizhili, Shandong, and Henan, and be over 16 years old and under 30 years old;

All soldiers are paid one tael of silver per month, and half a stone of rice, and the soldiers are exempt from all taxes;

After serving for 10 years, a soldier may be released to his place of origin or continue to serve in the army according to the soldier's wishes;

Join forces with your son to protect your family and defend the country! Heaven and earth are clear, bless me Daming!

April 28 of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Since it was recruited from the original military households, in order to increase the enthusiasm of the military households, in addition to being exempted from taxes, the monthly salary of all soldiers was as high as one or two or four yuan.

The conscription requirement is over 14 years old, under 16 years old, and the Long Live Mountain Thousand Households is the Son of Heaven's pro-army, and Liu Hongjian asked for a direct statement on the document that those who enter the Long Live Mountain Thousand Households can cancel their military status.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the Tianxiong Army, Hong Bing, and Qin Soldiers, there were only Liaodong soldiers who guarded Shanhaiguan, and the surrender of the former surrendered, and the whole army was annihilated.

The reason why the Liaodong soldiers were able to fight was first of all because the Liaodong people were brave, and the imperial court was also willing to give silver, Sun Chengzong, the founder of the Guanning Jin Defense Line, oh, that is, Liu Hongji's father-in-law's father, who served as the teacher of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Sun Chengzong supervised Ji Liao, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was naturally willing to give money, and the monthly salary of the Liaodong soldiers was one or two or four dollars, and the consumption of the cavalry was even more powerful, but the military horses were astronomical for the Ming Dynasty.

Most of the fine horses were purchased from Mongolian merchants through Xuanfu Datong or Hexi, and a horse of fifteen taels could be used for about three or four years, and the discount rate was extremely high.

And the consumption of grain and grass for military horses in a year is also considerable, about a horse needs 360 bundles of grass and 10 stone beans a year, which is only in peacetime, if you need to fight, the consumption is even worse.

Compared with the guards in the mainland at that time, the monthly salary was only a pitiful six coins of silver, no rice, and most of the salary was deducted by the generals, which can be described as extremely miserable.

Obviously, the newly recruited soldiers were equipped with the monthly salary of the Liaodong soldiers, but Liu Hongji's Long Live Mountain Thousand Households was the Son of Heaven's pro-army, and the salary was slightly higher.

There are brave men under heavy rewards, of course Li Banghua understands this truth, he naturally knows the importance of this army to the emperor and the Ming Dynasty, and the court is now rich!

The reason why Liu Hongjian insisted on recruiting soldiers from military families with elders who died in the war actually had some ideas of his own.

Putting aside the national enmity, these sons who have lost their fathers must have some deep hatred for the bandits and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they must be loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

With the lifting of the shackles of military households for a hundred years as a reward, presumably the enthusiasm of these military households will be greatly improved.

The reason why soldiers under the age of 16 and over the age of 14 are conscripted is because these boys are illiterate and illiterate, and they are highly malleable.

Moreover, Liu Honggradually had high expectations for his first force, not only to train them to use AKM to kill the enemy, but also to teach them to read and write, and to teach them advanced thinking......

After discussing some specific details, Li Banghua couldn't wait to order someone to prepare Jiao and go straight to the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army.

Liu Hong gradually finished the work, and finally rode home, thinking about this day, kneeling and sitting, tossing for a day, who worked hard for whom?

Who knew that as soon as he arrived at home, his butt was not hot, and a person who looked like a military official found Liu's house out of breath.

"Uncle! It's terrible, Lord Li, the secretary of the military department, and the Chengguo Gong of the Governor's Mansion are fighting! ”
