When the emperor said this, the ministers in Wenhua Hall were shocked. As long as they were knowledgeable, everyone knew that the various disadvantages of the Wei system were indeed going to be changed. However, with the huge military system, it is easy to change when talking about changes, but what about actual operation? It has been nearly three hundred years since the Ming Dynasty, who dares to touch it? In fact, the military system reform is more difficult than imagined! Therefore, no emperor or minister dares to do this!

"Your Majesty, be careful about this matter, be careful about it!" Shen Yongmao, Minister of War, first came out to report.

He took the lead, and other ministers agreed, and if there is any inappropriate military reform, it will definitely be a disaster.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw this, he nodded and said, "Of course, it is because I have to act cautiously that I have only mentioned this matter today."

As he spoke, his eyes glanced at his ministers, he continued to say slowly: "Now there is no threat from Mongolia in the north of my Ming Dynasty. This is a good opportunity that has never been seen before, and this is one of them!"

"Secondly, in Liaodong, my Ming Dynasty took the strategic initiative, and now I have mastered Anshan Yibao. I can attack and retreat or defend. When the Jianlu has exhausted the food, I can only be beaten passively! Now the situation in Liaodong is the best situation in my Ming Dynasty in recent years."

"The rebellion in the southwest has basically been quelled, and the pirates in the southeast have also suffered a heavy blow. The current situation in our Ming Dynasty is becoming more stable. Besides, the army in various places is now recruiting troops, not guards!"

Hearing Emperor Chongzhen's words, Shen Yongmao couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, the military system reform of the garrison is not a difficult point!"

Many other ministers also nodded, echoing the words of Shen Yongmao, the Minister of War.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about it after hearing this, and nodded and said, "Shen Qing, let me listen!"

"Your Majesty, if the military system of the garrison is innovated, then the Ming army system will only be left with the battalion and sentry system. In this way, the imperial court's expenditure on military expenditure will increase, so where will the money and food come from? This is one of them!"

Emperor Chongzhen listened to Shen Yongmao's speech, but he did not speak immediately, but nodded slightly and signaled Shen Yongmao to continue.

"Secondly, the combat power of recruiting soldiers is actually strong and weak, not all of which are strong soldiers. Whether recruiting soldiers can be used depends entirely on the recruiter and the responsible general. If the responsible general has strong training ability, it is a strong army. If the responsible general has weak training ability, the combat power will be very low. What's more important is that since the source of troops does not come from military households, the quality of the recruited soldiers is also of varying quality. In other words, if the person responsible for recruiting soldiers has poor ability to identify, the proportion of low-quality soldiers will also increase, so that the army will be more likely to mutiny and collapse."

"Third, the number of soldiers and generals in the national garrison is so large. If one is placed incorrectly, there will be endless troubles!"

Speaking of this, Shen Yongmao looked at Emperor Chongzhen with a very cautious expression and said extremely seriously: "Your Majesty, these three points are the most important matters, and the rest can be ignored first!"

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded, turned to look at Zu Dashou, the general of the Governor's Office of the Five Army, and asked, "What do you think Zuqing?"

At this time, Zu Dashou's face was also very serious. The movement of the military commander of the garrison would inevitably affect the Zu family. However, in this court, there was no qualification to speak. When the emperor asked, he could only respond respectfully: "What my soldier said is mature and steadfast, and the last general will discuss it!"

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen turned his head and asked several ministers in succession, all of whom were in agreement with Shen Yongmao's point of view. Until this time, some ministers suddenly discovered that the emperor did not ask the chief minister's opinion, and the chief minister did not express his opinion. This seemed a bit strange. Could it be that the chief minister already knew the content of the innovation?

They were thinking, but they heard Emperor Chongzhen's tone seem to be much more relaxed, and they smiled and said, "I have considered these three points of Shen Qing..."

When all the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but straighten their waists, stretched their necks, and listened attentively.

"For the first point Shen Qing said, it is indeed a problem for the current court. However, the current military strength of our Ming Dynasty is all in the battalion and sentry system, and the military pay expenses come from this. As long as it remains unchanged, there will be no problem in the overall situation. When the treasury income increases in the future..."

When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he suddenly paused and announced a message with a smile: "Fujian Governor Sun Chuanting has reported to me that the income tax on opening the sea this year is more than one million taels. I am not afraid to tell you that after the Ming Dynasty takes control of the sea, my expectation for opening the sea in the year will be at least ten million taels. Yes, it is at least... "

Before he could finish his words, the ministers below could not help but look surprised. Although they knew that this time, taxes would definitely be more under the harsh collection of Sun Chuanting. However, based on their understanding that the taxation basis of 20,000 yuan a year, they were suddenly told that the tax revenue was far exceeding their expected amount. Even if they were very cunning, they were still shocked. Then Emperor Chongzhen expressed his expectations and said that it was at least 10 million taels, and they were all shocked.

At this moment, they immediately remembered the previous imperial edict that shocked the world, which was the imperial edict that distributed the maritime tax. They originally thought it was a drizzle, but now it seems that it is really possible to make a great contribution!

Emperor Chongzhen threw out a good news and shocked them, but he himself continued: "For the second point, I believe that my dear friends have also seen how the new army I trained performs in the war against the enemy? This shows that the new army's training method is the method of strengthening the army. I have asked the new army chief teacher to summarize the key points of military selection and training, and do this method, so as to ensure that there are no weak brigades in recruiting troops."

Although this new army, like the current army of the Ming Dynasty, seems to have not changed much and always follows Qi Jiguang's military system, in fact, Emperor Chongzhen has arranged the Ming Dynasty's primary military preparatory hall and the military supervisor at the level of the department, and the functions of the military supervisor have changed significantly compared to before. It can be said that the essence of the army has changed a lot. Emperor Chongzhen used the example of the new army to prove that this kind of military training is at least effective at the moment.

In response to this, Shen Yongmao came back to his senses and asked several questions in succession, which were answered by Emperor Chongzhen one by one with factual examples, leaving him speechless. For this point, in other words, the future recruitment system would have adopted the new army's approach. In this way, a capital military palace hall would definitely not be enough. Zu Dashou, on the other hand, also understood that the intermediate martial arts hall and advanced martial arts hall that the emperor mentioned before would probably have emerged.

In general principles, the ministers no longer had any objections. However, Shen Yongmao still reminded Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the most important thing is the third point! How should so many military generals be placed in the country?"
