Ming politicians

() Zhu Shenxuan, full of confidence, accepted the task of abolishing the army of the Shaanxi Guard.

Su Tiancheng created the Jiangning Camp by himself. This kind of achievement gave Zhu Shenxuan a lot of motivation and stimulation. He also thought that he could build a strong army by abolishing the guards in Shaanxi this time.

At the end of March in the tenth year of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the abolition of the guard army officially began.

This is destined to be a matter that has attracted the attention of many parties.

Xu Eryi, the left servant of the Ministry of War, was in Shaanxi and coordinated the command. The emperor, the imperial court, and Hou Jin all paid close attention to this matter.

The minds of all parties are different. What the emperor needs is complete success. If Shaanxi can abolish the guard army and reorganize the army in Shaanxi within one to two years, solve all aspects of the problem, and create a complete success. It would be a blessing for the Ming Dynasty to have an army comparable to the Jiangning battalion.The ministers in the imperial court, some watched the excitement, and some hated it. They hoped that the abolition of the guards in Shaanxi would fail, so that they could impeach Su Tiancheng without any scruples.

The calmest one was Hou Jin. Huang Taiji always paid attention to it. The people sent by Fan Wencheng did not seem to have achieved any results. The guards in various places in the Ming Dynasty did not respond. After many years of conquest, he knew that the army is the foundation of the country, and the internal and external difficulties Under the circumstances, daring to take action against the army requires great courage and confidence. Although it is only an action in Shaanxi, it caused great waves. For this reason, he also discussed with Kong Youde and others, and analyzed In many cases, everyone thinks that the Ming Dynasty abolished the troops of the guards.Success that will not go is likely to trigger a new round of turmoil.At that time, the rogue bandits began to plunder again, and the Qing Dynasty could also take the opportunity to attack and weaken the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

The matter of abolishing the army of the Shaanxi Guard has just begun, and it has caused a huge sensation.

Responsible for dismantling the guard troops.It is surprising that Xu Eryi, who is the magistrate of Hanzhong Prefecture and King of Jin Zhu Shenxuan, who happens to be in Shaanxi, agreed to such an arrangement.

All of a sudden, in the imperial court, countless impeachment memorials flooded into Zhu Youjian's imperial case.

The reasons for impeachment are similar, and the vassal king has always been strictly forbidden to take charge of the army.If such a precedent is set, at least it will lead to the emergence of a separatist regime, and at the worst it will cultivate the power of rebellion.

Zhu Youjian suppressed all the impeachment memorials and did not move. He received Su Tiancheng's secret letter, which was inside.Su Tiancheng explained the situation in detail, and used a lot of space to clarify a point of view, that is, to take advantage of this opportunity to abolish the guard army to maximize the imperial power.Weakening the power of the ministers, if we talk about the abolition of the guard army this time.If you are responsible for yourself, you may encounter more difficulties. Su Tiancheng suggested that through a series of things, let the royal family members slowly start to build some meritorious service. The cabinet will become the emperor's most beneficial reliance. As for worrying about the rebellion of the vassal king, this is just a reason found by some ministers in the court. After careful analysis of the reasons for the rebellion of the vassal king, it can be found that it all depends on the emperor himself. Yes, if too much power is given to the vassal king, there will naturally be problems, and such an atmosphere and conditions do not exist today.

Inside the secret book, there is also a blood book written by Zhu Shenxuan, expressing his allegiance to the emperor and the royal family to the death.

Sun Chengzong, the second assistant of the cabinet, saw this secret letter, and Sun Chengzong's attitude was to fully support it. He suggested that the emperor can wait and see the changes. If Shaanxi abolishes the army of the guards and achieves great achievements, he can take the opportunity to promote Jin Wang Zhu Shenxuan , and can once again enable some royal family members to enter the court.

There was no movement from the emperor, Zhu Shenxuan had the greatest confidence, and began to be busy with the abolition of the guard army.

This is not a simple matter. The guards in Shaanxi include the Ningxia Guard, the former Ningxia Central Guard, the Left and Right Zhongtun Guards, and the Yulin Guard. The roster shows that there are about 30 sergeants. According to the actual statistics, there are also sergeants. There are more than 11 people, most of them are frontier soldiers. The statistics of this situation also show that the officers in the guards are starving to the point of being unable to increase their salary. In some guards, there are basically no sergeants.

The abolition of the 11 people is not simply disbanded. It is necessary to select 3 to [-] people from the middle, and reorganize them through recruitment. The focus is to be stationed at the border. It is necessary to improve and be able to fight. As for the officers, they must be strictly selected, and they must not be used indiscriminately.

Among the remaining sergeants, 2 people were selected and added to the prefectural and county inspection departments to strengthen local security forces.

As for the prefectural and county inspection departments, there are strict requirements on the number of sergeants. The sergeant of the county-level inspection department is not allowed to exceed 100 people, the state-level inspection department is not allowed to exceed 150 people, and the prefectural-level inspection department is not allowed to exceed 200 people. The inspection department is not allowed to have more than [-] people. In principle, the sergeants of the inspection department must be composed of sergeants with certain actual combat experience. As for the recruited rogues and others, they will all be dismissed.

Nursing homes in the homes of rich gentry households have uniform standards, and no more than 50 people are allowed. It is recommended that these rich gentry households, when recruiting nursing homes, try to consider the dismissed sergeants of the guards.

In this way, the abolished sergeants in the guard can absorb about 6 people.

The remaining 5 people were all converted into private households, distributed to the land for cultivation, and lived an honest life.

The newly reorganized frontier army, including the sergeants of the inspection department, will implement a recruitment system. The age requirements are above and below 45 years old. These recruited sergeants also own arable land and are farmers. It is said that after this abolition, there are no more military households in Shaanxi.

The plan is clear, if you want to do these things well, then it is not just talking about it.

Zhu Shenxuan's status was different, and the emperor issued an imperial decree. When Zhu Shenxuan abolished the army of the guard, he held the Shangfang sword. Anyone who committed a rebellion could be killed first and then played.

Therefore, the officers and sergeants of the various guards did not dare to move around at all.

The abolition of the guard army was successful because of the support of the sergeants. When they learned that they had eliminated their status as military households and became farmers, and they had to distribute farmland, most of the sergeants were elated, especially the older ones. I can't wait to kowtow to Su Tiancheng and Zhu Shenxuan, the difficulty is the arrangement of the officers.

The reorganized frontier army does not exceed 3 people, and the number of officers required does not exceed 1000. There are so many officers in the guards, and there are hundreds of households everywhere. Most of these hundreds and thousands of households are hereditary. Grandparents have been military officers for generations, and now they can no longer be military officers, so there is no way to survive. It is impossible to ask them to become farmers.

Zhu Shenxuan didn't take these officers into consideration for the time being, and made a drastic move to abolish the guard post. Time must be seized. Su Tiancheng reminded him that there is one very important point, that is, the amount of official land occupied by the guards is huge, and the cultivated land must be divided this time. To grow food, as long as the food is planted and carefully cared for, in July, the harvest season, the situation in Shaanxi will undergo fundamental changes.

Hong Chengchou was too busy to touch the ground.

What he needs to do is specific things. To form a border army of 3 people, he needs to take the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion to assess and select. Whether it is the guard army or the frontier army, he is convinced and consciously accepts the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion. Choose, you know, the newly formed frontier army not only distributes farmland, but also pays a tael of silver every month, which is enough to support the family, so, except for the sergeants who are not of the right age, the rest of the sergeants are working hard , Thinking of entering the newly formed army.

After the formation of the army, it is also responsible for matters including training.

More specifically, the establishment and dismissal of sergeants in the inspection department of Fuzhou County is a crucial step. If the local government cannot maintain stability, it will inevitably lead to major turmoil. This is also related to the local government. Financial pressure.

The Jiangning battalion was divided into more than 100 groups, with 30 to [-] people in each group, and went to prefectures and counties to guide the dismissal and recruitment of the inspection department. Hong Chengchou personally led [-] sergeants to form a new frontier army.

Xu Eryi has always been guarding Shaanxi. This time, he is very aware of the importance of abolishing the army of the guard station. The plan proposed by Su Tiancheng and others has been carefully considered. Xu Eryi has a strange feeling. Knowing so much, combining the abolition of the guard station army with the construction of the local inspection department can avoid turmoil to the greatest extent. The army and the local government will act together, and the conflict can be greatly resolved. As for the guard station officers As for the resettlement, Xu Eryi thinks that Su Tiancheng's proposal is very good. A training camp will be set up in Xianyang, and all officers will enter the training camp. After a three-month training, qualified officers will be assigned to the frontier army , or even in the Jiangning battalion, unqualified officers, then I'm sorry, go home and farm, and you have already been given a chance. You can't blame others for not living up to yourself.

Zhu Shenxuan and Hong Chengchou have their own priorities, but Xu Eryi must pay attention to the overall situation.

He had to write out a memorial every day and send it to the imperial court. The memorial reported in detail the progress of the abolition of the guard army, the achievements, the existing problems, and the solutions to the problems. <Plow up.

After the abolition of the army in the guard post, the vacant farmland must be divided, and the sowing must be guaranteed. Niu Er and others, with more than 1000 farmers who are familiar with corn and sweet potato planting, scattered to various places to guide and ask everyone to plant. There are not many paddy fields, and they mainly grow wheat, corn and sweet potatoes. As long as the drought problem is overcome, a bumper harvest of grain can be basically guaranteed, and this bumper harvest of grain is of vital significance. The mutual market needs a lot of food.
