Jinyi Night Walk

'Master, drink tea! "

Holding a cup of fragrant tea, Ming'er walked gracefully to Xia Xun's side, her waist was as soft as Liu Duoer's, her gait was extremely graceful, Xia Xun didn't lift her head, and said "Mmm" : "Leave it alone!"

Xia Xun was revising the materials he used to persuade the emperor and his officials. The debate about Liaodong's ethnic policy in the past two days sounded a wake-up call for him at the right time, making him notice that overemphasizing his policy is beneficial to the future , persuasion is very limited.

What he is worried about does not have much influence on the current Liaodong, where there is not yet a strong local armed force that is not directly controlled by the imperial court.You have to tell them 600 years ago, when the population was sparse, and the imperial court had to make great efforts to immigrate everywhere to enrich the barren areas: In order to avoid overcrowding in a few hundred years, so that they have to be forced to implement family planning, everyone should not let go now It's unrealistic.

Even in modern times, there are still countries with negative population growth, and they have to do everything possible to formulate various welfare policies to encourage people to have more children.Different problems lead to different solutions.When the plastic bag was just invented, everyone felt that it was convenient and easy to use, and you had no idea how much headache it would cause in the future. When you shouted about the environmental protection of plastic bags, there must be very few people responding.

Policies have to change according to the times and situations, thinking too far ahead and lacking a mass base.If you stand in the perspective of a time traveler and always think about problems for future generations and ignore the needs of contemporary people, you will become a public enemy of society, you will achieve nothing, and no one will support you.

Xia Xun has now created the conditions for Bianfu as much as possible in Liaodong, but in order to promote a bigger Bianyang, he must make all levels of society feel that it is really necessary to make a big change Cui, if this cannot be done, even if the emperor fully supports it, it will definitely end in failure.Wang Anshi's change is the change of Wang Mang, who was fully supported by the emperor. He is the emperor himself, so what happened?

"Sir, eat some cherries!"

Ming'er took another plate of freshly washed red cherries and handed it to Xia Xun.

"Well, umm..."

Xia Xun answered absently, and continued to follow his own train of thought to think about the problem.

When Ming'er saw it, she couldn't help feeling lost.

In the past few days, the husband has been pestering her, and the frequency of sex in the bed is too high, which made her a little unbearable. Later, when the husband came close to her and showed some affection, Ming'er became a little scared.As a result, tonight it was rare for her husband to calm down and think about business affairs, leaving her aside, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

So, she intentionally wandered around Xia Xun. After wandering around for a while, seeing that the prime minister was innocent, Ming'er's eyes widened, and she walked around Xia Xun's back, lightly punching his shoulder with a pair of pink fists, and said courteously: "Sanggong works hard, and I will give you a shoulder-beating ghost..."

Xia Xun put down the paper in her hand, looked back and said with a smile: "What's the matter? I'm a little unhappy for leaving the lady alone? Would you like my husband to accompany you to do something interesting?"

Ming'er was taken aback. She just liked to pester her husband and get tired of talking to him. As for the matter of the bed, at her age, she was really not very hungry. With Xia Xun's endless demands, she couldn't bear it at all. I'm sorry, otherwise I wouldn't have taken the initiative to ask for a different girl to serve my husband last time. Now, when she heard what Xia Xun said, she turned around and ran away: "Don't, my husband has done his job. Be good. Let's talk to my sister!"

Xia Xun shook her head and laughed: "This girl..."

※Most ※ New ※ Most ※ Fastest ※ Text ※ Word ※ Update ※ New ※ Hundred ※ Degrees ※ Brocade ※ Clothes ※ Night ※ Line ※※

Xia Xun, who had made full preparations in the hall, talked eloquently: "The northern Tartars have been my heartache in the Central Plains for more than a thousand years since the Han and Tang Dynasties. However, the grassland is as vast as the sea, and the tribes migrated by water. Living without a fixed place, no matter whether it is annihilation or complete conquest, it is as difficult as reaching the sky. With the power of Han Wu, exhausting all the power of the country, destroying countless families, it is only a little bit of its prestige, and it didn't take long before the ashes returned to the spider..."

Xia Xun's words were taken by all civil and military officials.These evil neighbors on the grassland come uninvited, you scold them, they are shameless, they don't care at all.If you fight, if there are too few soldiers, it will send sheep to the tiger's mouth. If there are too many soldiers, they will grease the soles of their feet, slip away, and lead you for a walk on the grassland. Take the initiative to withdraw troops, or you will be dragged to death.

For such an enemy, the imperial court has no easy way to deal with it.During the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese invaders also had a terrible headache for the guerrilla areas. When they were in a hurry, the Japanese invaders could still adopt the Sanguang policy. However, when the central government dealt with the northern nomadic tribes, they could not even use the Sanguang policy. If you can put it on the back of a horse, you can run as soon as you say it, and the girl will disappear. If you think about it, there is nothing you can do.

Xia Xun said: "And Yanshan is the north gate that shields the barbarians from the northern grasslands from riding their horses southward and invading the Central Plains from our Daming. Liaodong is a strong acropolis built outside the right wing of the north gate. For special roles, watch and help each other.

As long as there is Liaodong, the retreat can prevent the Tatars from colluding with Jurchen and North Korea, and the advance can directly attack the Tatar belly, so they dare not go south with all their strength. The management of Liaodong is related to the foundation of our Ming Dynasty. "

Liu Chao, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, frowned and said: "What the Duke said is very true. The importance of Liaodong and the northern border of our Ming Dynasty is well known to all ministers. However, what the Duke said is consistent with the system of military settlements and military households advocated by the Duke. Changing sheep, is there any necessary connection?"

"Of course there is!"

Xia Xun glanced at him with satisfaction. The old guy is very cooperative. This question hit the point. Xia Xun was very energetic and immediately continued his topic: "Liaodong is so important to my Ming Dynasty. It is equally important to say that! If the Tartars want to map the original land, they must first seek Liaodong. May I ask Mr. Minister, if I want to protect Liaodong, in the final analysis, what strength should I rely on?

"army!"

Although Liu Chao is a literati, he can answer such a simple question without thinking about it.

Xia Xun said: "That's right, the army! To defend Liaodong, you need an army! What do you need for an army to defend Liaodong?"

Without waiting for Liu Chao to answer, Xia Xun said: "One is combat power; the other is supplies! What I said is aimed at these two issues!"

Xia Xun turned to the ministers and said: "Let's talk about the supplies first. The army's supplies include armored uniforms, feathers, arrows and feathers, swords, guns and horses..." The most important thing among them is the army rations!The inability of the military rations to be self-sufficient is the biggest weakness of the Liaodong garrison. Transporting rations from within the customs, the loss is incalculable, and the second is that once the food roads are cut off by the Tatars, even if there are millions of elite soldiers in Liaodong, they will collapse without a fight. ! "

Qiu Fu said coldly: "Hasn't Duke Fu already opened up sea lanes?"

Xia Xun replied with a smile: "What Qi Guogong said is that we now have a sea route, which will not be cut off by the Tatars. However, there are still three problems with the sea route. First, the sea route cannot solve the problem of transporting grain from south to north." Second, the weather is unpredictable, especially in winter, when there is no transportation of grain and grass during the closed sailing period, sea transportation can only be used as a necessary supplement to land transportation, not the only means; third, it is still It has something to do with the weather, even if it is not in the freezing period, if there is heavy rain and strong winds at sea, the shipping will have to be temporarily suspended. Wouldn’t it be dangerous if we entrust the future of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who are lonely in Liaodong on the road of shipping?”

Qiu Fu snorted and did not speak.

Xia Xun said again: "Since the Taizu stationed troops in Liaodong, he has paid attention to farming grain, hoping that Liaodong will be self-sufficient in food and grass. At first, the effect was good, but now it is gradually not suitable for the development of Liaodong. Military settlements, land and output, They are all state-owned. In the army, there are seven or eight out of ten soldiers, and one or two out of ten peasants. Although the peasants are in the army, they are no different from farmers.

And these peasants do the same things as ordinary farmers. Every day, Li Hege carries a hoe and works hard to harvest. Except for the grain, there is not much left. Compared with the tenants of the landlord's family, they are like slaves who have nothing , so it must be muddling along.The more wasteland is reclaimed, the more burdened they will be. Who is willing to reclaim wasteland?

No matter how poorly the crops are grown, they will not starve to death, because what they eat is military rations; no matter how well the crops are grown, they will not be rich, the same!Because what they eat is military rations; the farmer naturally does not want to make progress, and whenever he has the opportunity, he either flees or resists. Now there is even a saying that "it is better to live in Hu than to be born in Liao". , Liaodong's military equipment is becoming increasingly disintegrated, whose fault is this?

Therefore, the minister suggested to His Majesty that, based on the current Liaodong garrison, seven out of ten are engaged in military affairs, and the ratio of one to two garrison species, salt and iron is further reduced and the garrison soldiers are increased. Although small but fine, it is enough to defend Liaodong.The so-called Tunfu turned his military status into a civilian loan, specialized in farming, and owned his own land.

Bai Gudao, if the people don’t eat, they will invade, if the scholars don’t serve as officials, they will resent, if they don’t do business well, they will hate, and if the officials don’t have power, they will leave.They must do everything they can to cultivate the land for their wives and children. The food they pay can be used for the Liaodong garrison, and the surplus grain produced by the farmers can be purchased locally, which is much cheaper than buying and transporting from within.With more Han people, our Ming government will be able to control Liaodong more effectively. Most importantly, when the Tartars try to seize Liaodong, our food supply will be cut off. "

What Xia Xun said was reasonable and well-founded, and everyone couldn't find any reason to refute it for a while. Seeing that the scene was getting colder, Luo Qian coughed and said: "Then what does this system of farming have to do with the transformation of military households into sheep?" Jin Xiaopin sorting out..."

Xia Xunruo glanced at him meaningfully, and said, "Shangshu Luo, I have just said that to do this, military settlements have to be converted into civilian settlements, and some of those who are in the military must be classified as civilians. This will inevitably lead to changes in the military household system. Besides, the military household system is not something that can be practiced for hundreds of generations and reach the frontiers."

Xia Xun knew that if it touched on the reform of the army, it would be a challenge to the generals like Qiu Fu. The country has not been established for a long time, and the military household system has not shown any major drawbacks. The old system has too much resistance, and I am afraid that even if it can be done, it will take a few years to pull the skin, so he wisely fixed the scope in Liaodong.

Because Liaodong is special, it needs to be changed!As long as it can be passed, it is a successful example.When it shows more vigor than traditional policies in actual operation, there is no shortage of insightful people in the court, and the emperor is not a faint king, so he will naturally think of implementing this method in other places.

Xia Xun even drew up a retreat for himself. If he can't get it right in one step, then the military household system and the conscription system will be mixed together, one locality, two systems, and a peaceful evolution. Otherwise, there will be major changes to the millions of troops across the country. The resettlement of those households that were abolished and converted to private households is a big problem.

Xia Xun said: "Everyone is very clear about the advantages of the military household system. The hereditary military household can guarantee the source of troops and maintain a large army in case of shortage of soldiers. At the same time, if you raise a professional army with millions of The burden on the army and the imperial court was too heavy, and the combination of soldiers and farmers and the combination of soldiers and farmers, and relatively light military expenditures were its advantages.

The disadvantage is that he has been a soldier for a lifetime, and he has been a soldier for generations. There is no other way for a soldier to succeed, and resentment will inevitably arise over time.Furthermore, the status of military households was too low, especially the land allocated during Taizu’s time. As military households multiplied, the number gradually increased, and they could no longer support their families.

Xia Xun glanced at all the ministers, and said in a deep voice: "I don't need to say more about this point, just take the statistics of the court as an example. In the third year of Hongwu, the number of fugitive soldiers reached..."

Xia Xun glanced at the wat board in his hand, and said: "Forty-seven thousand, nine hundred and eighty-six people, this is the number that was counted and announced by the imperial court. Your lords should have no objection."

This is all true. In fact, in recent years, the escape of military household soldiers has intensified, and the imperial court has paid more and more attention to the household loan system. It is not because of the emergence of these phenomena that it is necessary to strengthen the flow control of the people. How do others refute?

Xia Xun said: "Therefore, I think that it is not appropriate for the constitution to implement the military household system. Especially in Liaodong, there are more military households than in the interior, and they are far away from their hometown. From then on, they have to take root there, and they will never be separated from the hearts of the soldiers and the people. It is even more difficult for officials to decide. .And the Liaodong tribes that belonged to us are not borrowed from our Ming army, and can never serve as my Ming officers and soldiers. This is not conducive to their policy of being used by me and completely integrated. Therefore, some changes should be made in the Liaodong military household system!"

Qiu Fu asked again: "Then, how should the Liaodong military system be changed in view of Duke Fu?"

Xia Xun kept saying that he restricted the reform of the military system to Liaodong, and Qiu Fu's resistance was indeed much lighter. As long as Xia Xun didn't ride on his head and gesticulate, and only tossed about on the one-third of an acre of land in Liaodong, Qiu Fu would now He still didn't want to confront Xia Xun, who was more and more favored by the emperor, with his imposing manner.

A slight smile appeared on Xia Xun's face, and he said in a high voice: "Thinking about the strategies of building an army from the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties to the present, there are generally conscription systems, government military systems, and military recruitment systems..."

Xia Xun has done enough preparations, and this speech clearly explained the advantages and disadvantages of various military systems from the pre-Qin period to the present.The method of raising soldiers like the Fubing system originated in the Northern Wei Dynasty. It was originally a kind of raising soldiers for the minority regimes to raise soldiers in leisure time and wartime. Once destroyed, the government soldiers will disappear in smoke, and now there is no condition for implementation.After all, the most available policies are recruitment and conscription. Recruitment mainly started in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was replaced by the Fubing system in the middle, and it was carried forward again in the Song Dynasty.In those days, good men did not serve as soldiers, and the recruiting system of the Eastern Han and Song dynasties eventually led to a continuous decline in the quality of soldiers, and the corruption of military discipline, making them unbearable for a battle.

And what about conscription?In the age of distinct classes, administrative implementation capacity was a big problem. Xia Xun's solution was to adopt the conscription system as the main body, and partially take advantage of the characteristics of the conscription system to establish an elite standing corps, while partially retaining the military household system. The organizational system is similar to that of the Song Dynasty. The forbidden army and the Xiang army are not the same.

When Zhu Di raised his army to Jingnan, because of the shortage of soldiers, he implemented a recruitment system, and recruited young and strong men from the three prefectures of Beiping, Baoding, and Yongping to join the army. The common people may not be willing to serve as soldiers. This military system stopped after he ascended the throne.

In actual history, the Ming Empire's army building system was not static. Later, the civil fort changed, and the army was completely lost. Ming Jingdi once recruited volunteers from all over the world.In the future, such as the Qi Family Army built by Qi Jiguang's recruits, and the Yu Family Army built by Yu Dayou's recruits, both can be called powerful troops.The combat effectiveness of legions composed of recruited soldiers is generally much higher than that of military households. This is not only clear to Zhu Di, but also to the hearts of the generals present.

Therefore, as soon as Xia Xun said it, Zhu Di immediately understood the advantages and disadvantages of this military system reform, and he was very moved.In fact, his main psychological obstacle now is not thinking about the reform of the military system proposed by Xia Xun, but worrying about two points. One is that doing so will change the ancestral system, and at present, there is no serious situation that affects the army and its strength. , requires the court to make major changes, and another point is that military expenditures are bound to be much larger than the military household system.

Therefore, even though Xia Xun had fully explained its advantages, all civil and military officials could not come up with strong reasons for objecting for a while, Zhu Di still hesitated and could not make this decision immediately.After Xia Xun finished speaking, the other ministers did not express any opinions, so Zhu Di said: "Yang Qing's words are reasonable, but the system of the army and the major affairs of the country must not be ignored. There is no rush to make a decision on this matter. Think it over, weigh the pros and cons, and make a decision after three days!"

When Zhu Di made this concluding remark, Liu Songgeng, the judge of the Korean household Cao, had just crossed the Yalu River.

In Kaiyuan City, under the deliberate instigation and instigation of Hu Helu and others, a riot also started.

Under the planning of Amul and others, the tribes living in each fort have spread rumors, intentionally incited, and participated directly and indirectly, which has instigated the relationship between the various ethnic groups to become increasingly tense.The spies led by Zuo Dan were just a group of spies directly subordinate to Xia Xun. Although they were watching the actions of Amu'er and others, they didn't realize that some of the people from the "Huaguna" tribe participated in the incident before the incident happened. The quarrels and fights are the plots they are planning, because the quarrels and conflicts between the ministries have existed before. People from the "Huaguna Tribe" do some short-term labor, and the groups they participate in have conflicts with other groups. This kind of behavior is too hidden It is not appropriate to perceive the purpose of the deeper decision.Moreover, it is impossible for Zuo Dan and the others to meet Zhang Jun or Si Hanchao directly and let them know that there is such a secret force beside Xia Xun.

As a result, the constant friction created an increasingly tense atmosphere. Hu Helu, a man who worked for the Han merchants, deliberately provoked and angered the merchants from Hada City to export and hurt people. become a brawl.

The "Huaguna" clansmen who were mixed in it fanned the flames and fueled the flames. The traders who came from Hada City were hot-headed and rancor broke out. When people's eyes are on, the riots are out of control...Students, at the end of the month, ask for monthly tickets and recommended tickets!
