Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 353 Royal Military Academy
  The Ming Dynasty has been passed down for more than two hundred years. Compared with the threats and hidden dangers from external forces, Zhu Youxiao was more concerned about internal maladministration and contradictions.

No matter how great the threat from external forces is, they will ultimately have limited impact on the Ming Dynasty. Even if the Ming Dynasty's army is corrupt and degenerate, the border troops guarding the borders can still ensure partial stability. Local governors can control regional stability. This is what centralization brings. Influence.

However, if the internal bad governance and contradictions cannot be clarified and eradicated in time, it will have a serious consequence, that is, the chaos of local order will aggravate the collapse of the power structure, which will make the Ming Dynasty no longer the Ming Dynasty and lose the advantages of great unification. , then concentrating our efforts on doing big things will be empty talk!
  After many privileged groups appear alternately, Zhu Youxiao will face another force, that is, groups that are oppressed and exploited by privileged groups. There will be frequent local uprisings, and with the increase of natural disasters, if the court fails to provide disaster relief, Or if someone secretly embezzles money for disaster relief, the number of people forced into desperation will double!

From the beginning to the end, deep down in Zhu Youxiao's heart, he never paid attention to the Eight Banners of Jianlu. As long as the manager who guarded Liaodong knew the military and there was no one around him to restrain him, then his clear strategy against Liao would not be based on the Jianlu Eight Banners. Instead of fighting at the pace of the Eight Banners, fighting at their own pace, Jianlu will surely become the grindstone of the Ming Dynasty! !

Nurhachi did perform well at the military level, but unfortunately it was not him who really transformed Jianlu. During this period, there were also many contradictions and hidden dangers within the Jianlu Eight Banners. As long as the momentum of Jianlu's frequent advances could be curbed, , the contradictions and hidden dangers will eventually break out one day.

Zhu Youxiao really attached great importance to uncovering the lurking remnants of the White Lotus Sect. He not only asked Luo Sigong to supervise the case, but also ordered Li Ruolian to pursue it secretly. However, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao's vision cannot be limited to this matter. There are also There are many things waiting for him to do.

Hall of Martial Arts.

Military Academy.

"As of now, the general soldiers of Xuanfu Town, Jizhou Town, Miyun, Yongping, Shanhaiguan and other places have all taken up their posts."

Wei Guangxu looked serious, bowed to the emperor and said: "The commander-in-chief Tong Zhongkui, Ma Shilong, Sun Zushou, Wang Shiqin, Hou Shilu and others have successively submitted military reports to the capital, saying that the reorganization of the ministries under his command is progressing as expected, and that during the reorganization period, it was found that There are many cases of empty wages and deprivation of food and wages."

"In order to appease the officers and soldiers under his command, most of the seized food and wages were used to repay arrears. All the generals involved have been arrested and transferred to the Jiliao Governor's Office for trial. In addition, the guards and servants supported by the generals and schools have all been reorganized. New Qianqi camps were set up everywhere, and those who were stubborn and lawless were secretly executed."

The efficiency is quite fast.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Zhu Youxiao's mouth, and he was rectifying the garrison system of the capital city and the capital so that no mistakes could be made in every link, especially the outermost garrison, which started from Xuanfu Town in the west, to Jimiyong Sanxie, and to Shanhaiguan in the east. Important military areas must be supported.

If they cannot stabilize quickly, there will be loopholes in the outermost garrison. Once the Mongolian and Tatar border troops seize the opportunity and want to take the opportunity to plunder the capital area, the losses will be inestimable.

The most important point is that the civil servants, who are already secretly dissatisfied, will definitely step up their counterattack and bite once they seize such an opportunity. Zhu Youxiao does not want this to happen.

Tong Zhongkui, the newly appointed military officers, had such performance before, which was inseparable from Zhu Youxiao's reward. They didn't want to let Zhu Youxiao down, so they all worked hard and vowed to We must implement the emperor's will.

Be willing to be willing to give up. Only when you are willing to give up can you gain something.

"According to the emergency report submitted by the Ji Liao Governor's Office, we are stepping up efforts to clarify the rights and responsibilities of the military, road, security and garrison under the jurisdiction of Northern Zhili." Jin Xuan, who was standing aside, saw that the emperor was silent and followed closely.

"However, there are many health posts along the line from Xuanfu Town to Shanhaiguan, and many key areas are involved. To clarify the above rights and responsibilities, I may need..."

"This matter is not urgent. Ask Wang Zaijin and the others to adjust slowly."

Zhu Youxiao leaned forward and said: "What I want is not only the adjustment of the garrison and security on the outskirts of Zhili, but also the stability of the outskirts of Zhili. Don't make mistakes while busy. This matter must be done solidly, and there must be no accidents."

"I understand."

Jin Xuan immediately bowed and said: "I will clarify my intention to the Ji Liao Governor's Office later." Although the Military Affairs Academy has been established, its current daily operation cannot be separated from Zhu Youxiao's absolute will, and its internal structure and powers are still in place. In the process of improvement, according to Zhu Youxiao's thinking, the Military Academy still has a long way to go before it can truly take full control of the military.

"How is the advancement of military officer Honda?"

Zhu Youxiao scratched his nose, looked at Wei Guangxu and said.

"All matters relating to the connection with the Young Mansion have been clarified."

Wei Guangxu hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Now we will create a list of these military-affiliated lands. After this matter is clearly implemented, the assigned groups will receive the corresponding acres."

"Well, this matter must be handled as soon as possible. Don't keep the soldiers who have made meritorious service waiting."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "From now on, the tax collection of military tributary fields will be responsible for the military preparations of various departments. They will be uniformly delivered to Beijing and the Military Affairs Council will be responsible for auditing."

"The minister obeys the order."

Wei Guangxu hurriedly bowed in response, but he was filled with surprise and doubt in his heart. If this matter were to be spread, I'm afraid the department of household affairs would be very dissatisfied.

"What's the plan for the abolition of Jingwei?"

Zhu Youxiao didn't pay attention to what Wei Guangxu said, but looked at Jin Xuandao again.

"It's basically planned."

Jin Xuan reported: "After the Shenshu, Fifth Army, and Shenji three capital camps have basically moved to various garrison locations, an assessment will be conducted to eliminate soldiers from the guard station. Those who pass the assessment will be transferred to the nearest military base." Under the jurisdiction of the Chujing Camp, the military status will also be changed, and those who fail the assessment will be diverted and resettled, or rent official land, or enter the Shaofu Houses, to ensure that the place is stable and that there will be no gatherings of people to cause trouble. "

"Ah."

Zhu Youxiao nodded in agreement, and the look in his eyes towards Jin Xuan also changed. After all, he had some ability. As long as the abolition of the Jingwei can proceed smoothly and there are no crowds and riots in the future, then the abolition of the garrison around Beizhili, It can also be promoted in batches, diverting troops when necessary, and transferring subordinates to subordinates. After all, whether it is the garrison, the army, or the workshops in various places, a large number of manpower is needed to supplement them.

If this matter can be successfully handled, the imperial court will not only be relieved of a great burden, but also achieve a strategic turn in improving its troops and streamlining its administration. The most important point is that a group of corresponding privileged groups will be eliminated.

Hereditary guard officials will eventually become a thing of the past! !
  Continuing to engage in hereditary practices at every turn will become a huge burden over time. Zhu Youxiao does not want these burdens to weigh down Ming Dynasty and make it difficult to breathe.

"There is one more thing that I think can be clarified."

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and said to the ministers in front of him: "I plan to build a royal military academy in the name of the Military Affairs Council as a place for military generals to further their studies. After I have thought about it, I will set it up in Xiaoyongfang. A lot of stolen property in the workshop was confiscated by the Shaofu, and they were put together for reconstruction."

"As for this part of the food and salary expenditure, there is no need to trouble the treasury. It can be allocated directly from the internal funds. After all, war is not a child's play. It is also a good thing for the court to ask the generals who lead the troops to learn more. What do you think?"
