Rebirth of Zhu Di's son

Chapter 351 Real Tudusi

Yongye Pasture, like Yongye Field, is regarded as private property given to individuals. The court will not take it back and can pass it on to future generations.

The Yongye pastures for soldiers at all levels are determined according to the size of the official rank. The minimum is [-] acres for the ninth rank, [-] acres for the eighth rank, [-] acres for the seventh rank, and so on. The third rank is [-] acres. acres, the second grade is given [-] acres of pasture.

After Zhu Gaoxu implemented the reform of the military system, except for a few provinces that retained half of the garrison posts, the garrison posts in other provinces have been abolished and reorganized, and the command and command offices naturally disappeared.

However, most of the young soldiers and generals of the abolished original guard were absorbed into the new army.

The rest were either discharged because of old age and frailty, or because they were disabled or physically unqualified or unwilling to join the army, so they were transferred to the local post offices, militia bureaus, police and security bureaus, and immigration immigration bureaus under the Ministry of War. , Maritime Anti-Smuggling Bureau and other provincial government branches.

Only a small number of people have special circumstances and receive "special care" from Zhu Gaoxu.

This "special care" is the content of the decree.

Not only Li and Xu knew about this benevolent decree, but also the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

But just now, no one from the six departments and nine ministers mentioned this matter.

Obviously, the civil servants did not want the imperial court to implement "real tudusi" management of the grasslands.

The Capital Guard Station was originally a military establishment and had nothing to do with administrative divisions, but the Border Guard Station also dealt with civil affairs, so it became a local administrative division in the actual sense.

Therefore, the Dusiwei has the distinction of real soil and non-real soil.

In areas where there are no prefectures, prefectures, or counties, the Wei Suo also manages civil affairs and serves as a solid territory, such as the Liaodong Dusi.

Historically, from the Zhengtong period of Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty onwards, due to the southward migration of the Uuliangha tribes, the Ming Dynasty gradually lost control of the Liaohetao area (the areas on both sides of the middle reaches of the Liaohe River in later generations).

Due to changes in history, the Daning Dusi, which was originally established in the 20th year of Hongwu, and the Wandu Dusi, which was established in the fifth year of Xuande, did not appear.

Even the actual Liaodong Dusi became a pure military organization after Zhu Di established the Liaodong Provincial Envoy Department, the Liaodong Provincial Envoy Department, and a large number of prefectures and counties during the Yongle period, and no longer had the ability to govern civil affairs. functions.

What Li Jinglong meant was not to set up prefectures or counties on the grassland, but only to set up a single capital department, with the health office also in charge of civil affairs.

The kind of Dusi he mentioned belongs to the real Tudusi.

And Zhu Gaoxu's second strategy for managing the grassland was precisely the real Tudusi!
As for the high-ranking generals of each capital's guard post, as well as those of thousands and hundreds of households, they will all be held by generals from the Ming Dynasty. They will no longer be held by local tribal leaders as in the past at Jidusi.

Zhu Gaoxu estimated that about half of the more than 300 middle- and high-level guard generals who were originally eliminated would choose to go to Mobei.

After all, as long as they go to Mobei, they can suddenly become ranchers.

Moreover, they don’t need to worry about grazing, as local herdsmen will do it for them.

The more than 600 middle- and high-level generals of the original guard who moved to Mobei, including their family members and servants, there will be at least 6000 people. If the number is too high, there may be 3 to [-] people.

If they are given some preferential treatment for military villages and promised to purchase cattle, sheep, livestock and other pasture output at market prices, then they will definitely take the initiative to persuade more relatives and friends to follow them to Mobei.

Zhu Gaoxu also planned to issue an imperial edict to encourage people in the Ming Dynasty to go to Mobei to contract pastures and hire herdsmen to graze their animals. The major merchant houses under the Royal Commercial Bank would send caravans to the grasslands to purchase the output of each pasture.

At the same time, various shops under the Royal Commercial Bank will regularly and on time deliver daily necessities such as grain and salt to Mobei and Moxi areas for sale.

He even decided to build some cheese and beef canning processing plants near Helin City to provide more employment opportunities for local people.However, the establishment of a real tudusi was not what the civil servants wanted to see.

Because before the reform of the military system, the provincial governors were responsible for managing the garrison within their jurisdiction and various military-related affairs. They were the highest local military leadership agencies in peacetime. They were subordinate to the Five Military Governors' Office of the imperial court and took orders from the Ministry of War.

After the reform of the military system, the governors retained in some provinces were subordinate to the metropolitan governor's office and took orders from the military administration department and the military staff department of the metropolitan governor's office.

If a separate Dusi is established in the grassland, the power of the Dudufu will be further strengthened.

The expansion of the power of the Metropolitan Governor meant the expansion of the power of military commanders.

Although the civil and military disputes in the past dynasties have never stopped, Zhu Gaoxu thought of a way to persuade civil officials to support him in setting up a real Tudusi.

As the saying goes, "Being an official for thousands of miles is only for wealth." The reason why civil servants opposed the establishment of a separate official Tudu Secretary was because it was not in their interests.

As long as Zhu Gaoxu allows civil servants to benefit and gives them certain powers to participate, a state of civil and military balance can be maintained.

In this way, the opposition from civil servants will naturally be reduced.

"I feel that what Da Situ (the nickname and honorific title of the Minister of Household Affairs) said is very reasonable. For the grassland tribes, we can no longer follow the old path of enfeoffing and entrusting officials."

Zhu Gaoxu looked around at the ministers in the hall and said solemnly: "What Cao Guogong said is also very reasonable. Nowadays, the grasslands are full of small tribes with hundreds or thousands of tribes, and there are no large tribes with more than ten thousand tribes. It can be said that It is a piece of loose sand, and now is the best time to bring the grassland under the direct control of the imperial court."

"It would cost too much to directly establish counties on the grassland, and it is indeed inappropriate. However, if we set up a separate capital to implement integrated military and civilian management, it would also lack the education of the herdsmen, which is not a long-term solution to transforming barbarians into summer."

He paused briefly, and then said loudly: "I am thinking about whether, on the basis of setting up a separate capital, we can add some cultural and educational official positions, supplemented by educating the herdsmen, in order to change the barbarian to the summer. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, took the lead in bowing and saluting: "Old minister, I second the proposal."

"Your Majesty, the minister also seconded the proposal."

Jian Yi, the official minister, followed closely.

"My minister agrees."

Others also chimed in.

In fact, Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji and other civil servants had already seen through Zhu Gaoxu's previous "favorous decree" that Zhu Gaoxu planned to use the actual Tudu Division to manage the grassland.

In their eyes, Emperor Qianxi Zhu Gaoxu was as stubborn as his father Yongle Emperor Zhu Di.

No matter what the father and son decide, ten thousand cows can't bring it back.

Therefore, when Zhu Gaoxu took the initiative to propose the establishment of cultural and educational official positions as a supplement to the separate establishment of the Dusi.

Naturally, they wanted to take advantage of Po Xia Donkey and agreed one after another, taking advantage of the situation to finalize the matter.

After all, it is always good for them to strive for more civil servant positions.
