The Ming army under the Wei system did not need additional military funds from the Ming court. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's a pity that after this guard system went through Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu, it quickly began to erode at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A good man is not a soldier, and a good iron does not hit nails. This does not mean that the whole world discriminates against soldiers after the Tang Dynasty, but because soldiers are not only not treated well, but also do many bad things.

As for the reason for doing evil, it is simple, and life is poor.

The health system was quite complacent in Zhu Yuanzhang's imagination. The idea of allocating a piece of land for the army to farm in peacetime and fight in wartime for generations to come as soldiers seems to be perfect. There is farmland for production, and there is no need for the state to bear it.

But in reality, when it comes to peacetime, the importance of the army decreases as peace lasts for a long time. The officers began to encroach on the land, oppressing the military households into serfs. The entire guard system became a large serf world, and the combat effectiveness collapsed with a bang. Military households have also become very poor.

When they are extremely poor, there are naturally people who are born of evil to the side of their hearts. Even if you are honest, you will desert. From the beginning of Hongwu to November of the third year of Hongwu, there were 47,986 fugitives under the system of the guard, so they had to make up for it by means of root and hook. The root supplement is to arrest the deserted soldiers, and the compensation is made up by their households, but this move not only disturbs the people but also disturbs the officials, and some officers also take advantage of this to embezzle, persecute the people, and make the countryside miserable. In the end, the number of deserters continued unabated.

Before the early years of the dynasty, in view of the continuous erosion of the guards. The Ming Dynasty began to establish the Beijing camp.

The Jingshi Jingying is also known as the three major battalions, including the five military battalions, the three thousand battalions and the Shenji battalion. The five military camps were divided into the middle army, the left and right sentry and the left and right sentry. In addition to the sergeants from the Beijing Division, the sergeants were also transferred to the Central Capital Guards Division and the Shandong, Henan, and Daning Divisions and Guards to take turns to guard and train in the Beijing Division, which was called the squad army.

Relying on the practice of drawing the elite of the whole country to form the Beijing camp, the imperial court maintained its offensive against the Mongols in the north. Relying on strong military strength, the Ming Dynasty was the dominant side against Mongolia before the Tumubao Change.

It's a pity that the change of Tumubao burned down 500,000 elite camps. The vitality of the Beijing camp was greatly damaged, and the backbone was completely damaged. Later, although it was restored from time to time, the Ming army had been completely dispersed during the Chongzhen period.

Especially during the Jiajing period, the Japanese invaders were troubled, and the countless coastal guards that resisted the Japanese in the early years of the Dynasty were useless, and even let more than 100 Japanese invaders run rampant in front of the city gate of Nanjing. Even the original Beijing camp is also unbearable.

And at this time, the guards had been eroded to the bleakest time. The final result was that the system of the guard post became a pin in fact, and no one touched him, but the court no longer lost its intention to rely on the military system of the guard as a national defense.

For this reason, the Ming Dynasty began to change to the method of recruitment. Qi Jiguang used the method of recruitment to recruit hard-working miners in Yiwu as an army, and thus created the world's famous Qi family army.

But Qi Jiguang's strength is not because the Ming Dynasty began to become stronger, but because Zhang Juzheng came to power. As the Austrian aid of Qi Jiguang's dynasty, after Zhang Juzheng implemented the reform, the Ming Dynasty rarely reinvigorated, so that Qi Jiguang had a stable internal condition for military training, and there would be no personnel disputes due to political changes, nor would there be a lack of military aid due to the lack of central support.

Therefore, after Qi Jiguang eliminated the Japanese Kou, he was able to take up his post in Jizhen, so that the Qi family army could protect the safety of Gyeonggi, and the Mongols did not dare to look south.

But in the same way, when Zhang Juzheng stepped down and the situation in the DPRK and China was turbulent, Qi Jiguang could only leave Jizhen gloomily, and the Qi family army gradually died out and lost its voice. At this time, the only thing that can maintain stable combat effectiveness is the frontier military formation system. That is, the famous nine sides.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, in the following more than 100 years, the remnants of the Mengyuan Dynasty who retreated to Mobei waited for an opportunity to go south, becoming a serious border trouble of the Ming Dynasty. For this reason, the imperial court had to set up nine important frontier towns in Liaodong, Xuanfu, Jizhou, Datong, Taiyuan, Yansui, Ningxia, Guyuan, and Gansu on the northern border defense line that stretched for thousands of miles from the Yalu River in the east to Jiayuguan in the west, which was said to be an important nine-sided town in later generations.

Because of the constant confrontation and battle with the Mongols, a number of strong armies were trained among the nine sides. Especially Ma Fang, who even became a brave general for a while, and became famous on the frontier.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty negotiated peace with Mongolia and exchanged the market for a temporary rest. At this point, the hostility between the Ming and the Mongols eased. Jiubian also gradually weakened because of the huge cost.

In the last years of Wanli, the thirteen pairs of armor of Nurhachi in Liaodong rebelled. In the beginning, it was the imperial court that constantly sent troops and horses to suppress Nurhachi. As a result, under the continuous fighting, the entire area east of Jinzhou in the northeast was lost. Even the famous Liao town was lost to Jiannu. At this point, the court finally responded with the strength of the whole country, and the Ming side also sent the strategic master Sun Chengzong. Under Sun Chengzong's hand, the Guanning Jin defense line was cast. The Ming Dynasty relied on fortress tactics to build the city and advance, and finally redeemed the dilemma of losing the city and losing the land.

And as a result, the entire Ming Dynasty's military spending and military strength were piled up on the Guanningjin defense line.

The Guan Ning army was the strongest, followed by the border army, and then the Tianxiong army of Lu Xiangsheng came out intermittently, Sun Chuanting's Qin army, the rest of the armies under the control of Hong Chengchou and other courts, and the warlords who appeared in the original history at the end such as Zuo Liangyubu, Liu Zeqing and other so-called four towns in Jiangbei.

So far, it has also created the status quo of national defense and military after Zhu Cihong's crossing.

During this period of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the Guanning army on the Guanning Jin defense line, the Beijing camp was weakened and rotten, the guard system was useless, and the border towns had experienced decades of losing the enemy's sinking, and they had become more and more useless.

After the arrival of Zhu Cihong, the Ming Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The Guanning Army, which was originally engulfed in border troubles, defected because of the surrender of Jiannu, so naturally they didn't dare to stab again. The nine-sided military town was also scattered by Li Zicheng's Shun army, and it was like a knife cutting butter when it was cleaned up.

The Tianxiong army followed Lu Xiangsheng and died in Julu, Sun Chuanting's Qin army was also broken after several turns, and Hong Chengchou surrendered to Jiannu and waited for the autumn queen to be beheaded.

Zuo Liangyu plotted against each other in Anqing, and was cleaned up by Zhu Cihong and taken to Huangquan. Liu Zeqing's Shandong Town was taken by Zhu Cihong and became the shell of the earliest expansion of the Guards Legion, and the four towns in Jiangbei were crushed by Zhu Cihong before they were formed.

Everything is very different from the original history.

Daming has ushered in a new era, and it must also have a new military system.

All the resistance to military reform has disappeared. The defense and military of the empire finally had the ability to reform it in real terms.

In Yang Wenyue's exposition, he first stated the situation of the current inventory of various armies.

At present, the army that still exists in the Ming Dynasty is first divided into the following systems.

First: the Guards Legion system. Including the 1st Regiment, the 2nd Regiment, the 3rd Regiment, the Flying Bear Regiment, the independent artillery battalion directly under the corps, the independent cavalry battalion directly under the corps, the personal guard battalion directly under His Majesty the Emperor, as well as non-combat units such as army hospitals, privy offices, and baggage battalions.

Second: the Guanning military system. Including Wu Sangui's direct army as the general army of Shanhaiguan, the defenders stationed in Jinzhou, Ningyuan and other cities. This is also the reason why Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou attended the meeting.

Third: the border army system. That is, the rest of the border armies except for the fallen Liao Town. Including Jizhou Town, Xuanfu Town, Datong Town, Taiyuan Town (also known as Shanxi Town or Sanguan Town), Yansui Town (also known as Yulin Town), Ningxia Town, Guyuan Town (also known as Shaanxi Town), Gansu Town. The representative is Zhou Yuji, the chief soldier of Shanxi Town, and Wang Jimo, the governor of Xuanda.

Fourth: the Inland New Army. The main ones were the Qin army under Sun Chuanting, as well as the local armies formed by the governors of the provinces to suppress bandits.

In this Privy Council, the four systems will be history. All armies will return to central control.

In Zhu Cihong's brand-new military system, it is envisaged that the classic military system of France in later generations is envisaged.

Of course, when Zhu Cihong's plan was proposed, there was another high-sounding reason.

"Reunion Ceremony." When Yang Wenyue said this, almost all the civil officials on the field became excited.

This is the G-spot of Confucianism in the past generations, and it can radiate countless passions and motivation with one press. Although, they also understand, this is only a change in terms.

"Zhou Li, Xia Guan, Sima": "Where the army is controlled, there are 2,500 people as an army, Wang Liu's army, the three armies of the great country (Lu), the second army of the sub-country (Song Yu and other principalities), and the first army of the small country (Qi, Jin, Chen Cai, etc.), and the generals are all ordained. There are 500 people in 2,000 as teachers, and all the teachers and commanders are middle doctors. Five hundred people are the brigade, and the brigade commanders are all doctors. Hundreds of people are pawns, and the captains are all sergeants. Twenty-five people were two, and both Sima were sergeants. Five people are in a team, and they all have strengths. ”

This time, the army of the Ming Dynasty will begin to be reorganized according to the division and brigade. However, the military system at the grass-roots level will not copy the Zhou rites, but still adopt the regiment below the brigade level, the regiment as the battalion, the battalion as the 100 households, and the 100 households as the general flag, and the general flag as each small flag. In this round of institutional innovation, Zhu Cihong removed the establishment of thousands of households. In fact, 100 households are companies, and the general flag is a platoon, and each flag is a class.

When everyone heard Yang Wenyue say this, they all buzzed for a while.

But soon, the crowd calmed down.

Yang Wenyue then began to mention the military rank system.

When a recruit joins the army, he is first awarded the rank of private. At the end of the half-year period, after completing the 300 literacy requirements, you can obtain the rank of private. After completing all literacy courses and serving for half a year without penalty, you can earn the rank of private of the first class. After that, after varying years of age or military merit, you can rise from corporal, sergeant, sergeant, sergeant, escort, and upper escort.

This is the non-commissioned officer system.

This was followed by the officer chain of command.

From junior lieutenants to ensigns, lieutenants, captains.

Then there are majors, lieutenant colonels, and colonels.

Finally, there are generals, lieutenant generals, and major generals. This is a general-level system.

For the Guards Legion system, Hu Dawei, Chen Yongfu, Xia Chen and others are all clear.

But Sun Chuanting frowned, he coughed lightly, looked at the chair a little uncomfortably, and suddenly didn't know how to speak politely. After all, during the Chongzhen period, no minister had a chair to make.

Zhu Cihong smiled: "Just raise your hand." Sun Qing's family, but please say it bluntly. ”

"Then the old minister will say a few more words." Sun Chuanting got up and said with a smile: "The system of military ranks, honored by soldiers, has a clear command system. This is the great good. However, if the soldiers cannot understand the distinction between the upper and lower ranks, I am afraid that there will be many misunderstandings and even jokes. Lieutenant, the military lieutenant is the ancient name of the Jin Kingdom, and it is not inappropriate to be a junior officer. The generals of an army, the distinction between the few, the middle and the upper are also unhindered. Only this military school, please discuss. After all...... Colonels in the military are mostly commonly called. With the length of thousands of soldiers and the school's officials, I am afraid it is inappropriate. The word of the family, you judge. ”

Yang Wenyue bowed his head slowly, noncommittal.

Everyone was in a commotion, and they all reflected these concerns.

Li Banghua pondered for a moment and said, "Since you are talking about the ancient system of the Jin Kingdom, then I also think of Liuqing." After returning to China, Duke Wen of Jin established a new army. According to their status, they are the middle army generals, the middle army generals, the upper army generals, the upper army generals, the lower army generals, and the lower army generals. It's better to change it to, the young army, the middle army and the upper army. Of course, it can also be referred to as Shaozuo, Zhongzuo, and Shangzuo. ”

There was another buzzing and noisy discussion, and this time everyone listened to this unfamiliar ancient name, but they all had some unclear feelings.

Just as many people in later generations heard the Japanese place names and felt that they were very powerful and meaningful.

Actually, it's just a preconceived impression of something unfamiliar and incomprehensible. On the contrary, I feel that the already familiar name is gradually becoming cheesy.

Zhu Cihong felt in his heart that these were a bit like the Japanese military system of later generations. But on second thought, didn't the Japanese learn these things from China? If the disciple uses it, the teacher still can't use it?

What's more, it is uncertain whether Japan will be a province or a member country in the future, and there will be any matter of the Great Japanese Empire.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Cihong smiled and nodded: "So good." ”

Yang Wenyue brushed and changed it, and the military rank system reached a consensus on this.

After that, there are the details of the military system. The generals of the Guards Corps were very calm, but in fact, the reform of the whole army was carried out with the Guards Corps as the backbone of the expansion and adjustment.

For example, the first regiment had a total of 8,000 people. According to the modern military system, where this is a regiment, it is clearly a division. Two or three thousand men per battalion is actually more like a reinforced regiment or a brigade. It's just that Zhu Cihong has been suffering from not having enough officers, so he can't make more refined adjustments.

At present, Zhu Cihong has been in power for two years, and the army school has also sent thousands of outstanding officer seeds in two years, and the original shortcomings have gradually been filled.

The most important thing is that with the victory of the First Battle of Luzhen and the Battle of Zunhua, the whole army has cultivated enough excellent veteran backbones and heroes who stand out in the war.

If it is another dynasty, I am afraid that I will have a headache how to reward, whether there is a position, whether there is silver.

After the summer tax, of course, the court was not short of money, and the loot was also extraordinarily large. Then there is only one problem: whether there is a place or not.

But thinking about it just now, Zhu Cihong was originally suffering from not having enough officer seeds, and this time there were so many heroes, so naturally he was not worried.

It's really true: someone gave me a pillow while I was sleeping.
