Reform policies have been established. In fact, even when the Ming Dynasty was in a turbulent state, the reform was promoted and continued to follow the original policy of south first and then north.
However, after quelling the Shaanxi Rebellion, it first became the north and then the north, and even completely turned the north and then the south!
Now that Li Xiu has returned to Beijing, the reorganization and reorganization of the Ming Dynasty military system is naturally in full swing.
In fact, looking at all dynasties, it is difficult to find that a country's military system can be as chaotic and corrupt as the Ming Dynasty.
Throughout the dynasties, the military service system was nothing more than the Wei Sui system or the Mansion system and the recruitment system. Most of them chose to go the same way. If the two coexist, they should be used together. At the same time, the proportion and structure of the Wei Sui system and the recruitment system should be reasonably adjusted according to the military and economic situation.
But this was not the case in the Ming Dynasty. When the recruitment of troops had already accounted for more than two-thirds of the military post during the Jiajing period, no major adjustments were made to the ward system.
The court repeatedly responded to the increasingly frequent peasant uprisings and foreign invasions by increasing recruitment without reducing military households and military farmland and reforming the garrison. This led to the court being able to pay the food and salary for recruitment by increasing the tax on households and civilians' land.
In this way, a vicious cycle will naturally form.
The garrison was not worth using, recruiting troops, lacking money, levying taxes, peasant uprisings, recruiting troops, lacking money, levying taxes...
There is no doubt that if this vicious cycle is over, it will definitely embark on the road to destruction of the country.
What Li Xiu had to do now is naturally impossible to remove the hanting of the ward office at once, and it is impossible to do this in a short period of time.
What you can do is to grasp the balance between the garrison and recruiting troops and adjust a healthy military ecology.
Li Xiu never expected that as what the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang said, he would raise a million troops without spending a grain of rice in the world.
The reason for the formation of the garrison system is also the integration of soldiers and farmers, solving the problem of wars and insufficient productivity in the early days of the Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty. When peace and productivity are restored, the garrison system will naturally lead to conflicts and corruption.
As the saying goes, you can get as much as you pay. The effort is always proportional to the gains. He always thinks so.
The garrison system, the integration of military and civilians, is, in other words, a military reclamation that forms a system.
Once any army involves other side jobs that do not belong to war, it will inevitably be difficult to form effective combat power.
It’s like, after going through the whole day, how can you still have time and energy to train troops? What’s more, long-term military camps and reclamation will inevitably lead to a distraction in discipline. The so-called military exercises in idle times and farming in busy times will naturally turn to form and surface, let alone combat effectiveness.
In this way, although the garrison system is retained, in Li Xiu's plan, it is regarded as a self-sufficiency guardian force and a reserve force, but it is only necessary to improve supervision measures as much as possible, enhance the social status of soldiers, and ensure that combat effectiveness is not lost too quickly.
After all, in any era, professional army is an extremely financially consuming matter.
The garrison system can be regarded as a combination of later generations of settlement corps, militia systems and military police, as a supplement to the professional army and reduce the pressure on the professional army.
Recruiting troops is the main combat force, retaining a strong recruiting force within the financial surplus, and cultivating the quality of Ming soldiers and generals through the Martial Arts Academy. If the scale of the war is expanded, the soldiers and generals of the garrisons in various places can be quickly drawn, with recruiting soldiers as the backbone and soldiers as branches and leaves, and the expansion in a short time is completed.
Of course, retaining the guard system is also a helpless move limited to national strength. After all, with the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty, if the guard system is suddenly eliminated, then, not to mention how millions of military households are placed, just as the national defense pressure is brought about, it will inevitably be a surge in military investment.
Even if the fiscal and tax reform is completed in the future, it will inevitably be a huge burden on the Ming Dynasty's finances.
Moreover, the focus of the future Ming Dynasty will gradually shift to the ocean and build a powerful navy to expand its territory.
The consumption of financial resources will inevitably be a huge hole.
Of course, if the Ming Dynasty explores the ocean in the future, plunders overseas wealth, and the national strength soars, it is okay to have the energy to establish a complete national defense system and garrison system, and gradually withdraw from the stage of history.
Before this point is achieved in the future, after the decay of the garrison system is repaired and improved, it must continue to play its historical role and continue to shine for the Ming Dynasty.
In this way, the basic foundation of the garrison will naturally be preserved, and the focus of reform is also above the garrison.
As for the recruitment, or camp, that exist in various parts of the Ming Dynasty today, it is naturally reformed and trained, and the survival of the fittest is eliminated.
Obviously, how to resettle the pensions of the soldiers and generals out of the way is also a big problem.
Therefore, even if it is only a reform of the military system, it has involved all aspects of the country. What is needed is not only the power of Li Xiu, the Duke of Qin, but also the cooperation of the entire court center and the entire Ming ruling class.
Fortunately, the internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty are temporarily suppressed, and Li Xiu also has enough time and energy to pay attention to this aspect.
Of course, reforms are in full swing and wars have never stopped.
The northern border was not just Shaanxi. The reason why Shaanxi was settled and the world was peaceful was because Shaanxi was the most serious and the most riotous.
In Sichuan, Shandong and other northern provinces, civil unrest and mutiny are all spreading, either big or small, but now the great victory is brilliant, and everything is temporarily hidden under this glory.
As the leader of everything, Li Xiu will naturally not be deceived by this so-called glory.
However, the war had just ended, the army was exhausted and the rewards were not implemented, so Li Xiu was not in a hurry.
When the reward was implemented and the army rested for more than a month, Li Xiu also sent a military order to mobilize tens of thousands of troops in Beijing and Ji to various provinces to quell the civil unrest.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, this time, the heads of the tribes launched by Li Xiu are not the veterans of the past, but the new generation of generals such as Li Dingguo, who had been trained by Li Xiu for a long time.
Leading an army alone and going out to fight is undoubtedly the best training.
Li Xiu has always spared no effort to cultivate talents under his command. In the current situation, he also needs more people who can stand alone to stabilize the situation for him.
"For the time being, I can't go to Jiangnan..."
In the study of Qin Gong’s Mansion, Li Xiu, who had just issued an order to send troops to fight the rebellion in various provinces, stood in front of the map and muttered to himself.
In the end, the biggest reason for setting a reform strategy that first south and then north is that it does not want to touch the vested interest class in the north and avoid the already decaying situation in the north from getting out of control.
But obviously, things went against my wishes, and the plan could not keep up with the changes. In the original plan, to quell the chaos in northern Xinjiang, he rushed to Jiangnan and personally took charge of Jiangnan to quell the chaos and fully implement the reform.
But now, whether it is the Korean War in Liaodong or the grassland situation, he needs to pay attention to it at all times, not to mention the chaos in the big or small places, as well as the implementation of reforms.
In this way, reform should be implemented with both the north and the south, and the north should be focused on the north.
In the Jiangnan side, we can only let the chaos continue for the time being, allowing Yan Shun to continue to fight with the officials and businessmen under him, Li Xiu, and the officials and businessmen in Jiangnan to continue to fight.
When he completely stabilized the situation in northern Xinjiang, then went to Jiangnan, military reform and tax reform went hand in hand, and then he made every effort in one battle.
As his thoughts circulated, Li Xiu slowly turned his gaze away from the map and finally settled on the reforms from various places with a mountain of land.
Some local garrisons have conducted their own inspections and reported them under military orders, and there are also inspection teams that have been reported in various parts of the Ming Dynasty.
These memorials combined together form a detailed situation of the reform of the Ming Dynasty's military system.
And he needs to summarize the general trend of reform based on these situations and adjust the direction and importance of reform in a timely manner.
In this kind of reform that involves the whole world, it is better to kill the wrong ones than to let go. This strategy will naturally never appear.
The butcher's knife has fallen, and I don't know how many lives it has been killed. The killing of the chicken and scared the monkey has undoubtedly been completed.
Now, what you want is to be guilty of no guilt!
While pacifying and stabilizing people's hearts, we will slowly advance reforms until the final success!
Once it becomes perfect, even if the fiscal and tax reform is not completed, the storm of the Ming Dynasty will be completely stable, and all difficulties will also have the confidence and foundation to face.
"It's almost..."
Li Xiu picked up a memorial book casually, and there was a faint flash of excitement in his eyes.
Since the reforms were launched in the early first year of Jingwu, it is almost the end of the year.
Even though chaos arose in the middle of the journey and backlash is revealed, reform is still unswervingly implemented.
As he stabilized the internal and external troubles of the north, it was undoubtedly a general trend of surge in reform, and the resistance to promoting implementation also suddenly disappeared a lot.
Now, the reforms of dozens of garrisons in key places where he initially used the military academy to deploy the military academy to deploy are coming to an end.
After this rebellion, the balance of reform has been completely tilted to one's own side. This military reform involving the entire Ming Dynasty and the dawn of victory have already emerged.
