Chapter 405: Militia Expansion

"Okay, they are all people of Gongzhong's country. Don't argue over trivial matters." Li Zhuang scolded in an official voice, and then rushed to the censor Chu Wei'an, "Inspector Chu should not be skeptical about one hundred households, right?"

According to the grade, if Chu Wei'an is conspiring with Lin Shixian, he will be a little bit inferior to his status. So he just said with a calm face, "I don't know how to do it," and stopped talking.

Then Lin Shixian encouraged Da Yuxi's eyes and said, "I think we might as well accept the requests of Balahu and Huollulu. In this way, we can have certain intervention methods when we are transcending."

"But if it is contrary to the will of the court, wouldn't it cause a big disaster?" As soon as Lin Shixian's words fell, someone asked anxiously.

"There is no word and certificate, and there is no one to prove it. How can those two pieces easily win the trust of the court with just one mouth?" Lin Shixian asked back.

Li Zhuang had already heard what he meant and said, "You will go to the study with me later, and I will tell you some of the inside story." Although he did not respond to his idea in person, he had already revealed his meaning.

Then Li Zhuang announced the second major event, saying: "Just received the order from above, the militia will be expanded by another 10,000." Now the militia organization in Longjiang Province has reached 30,000, which has increased sharply this year. Sixty percent of them were recruited from naturalized people who surrendered.

The Governor's Office of the Five Army was actually skeptical about these naturalized people who had just become Ming people. But at present, the majority of the army is actually non-Mongols. In the face of reality, the Mongolian generals in the army have to bow their heads.

Besides, there are nearly half of the Han people in the army now. Using naturalized people to hedge against the Han people is also a good choice.

Of course, what is more important is that the individual combat effectiveness of these naturalized people is indeed good.

Unlike the Han people who lived in civilized society, most naturalized people lived in difficult forests since childhood, and were the product of survival of the fittest under the jungle law. In terms of individual physical fitness, it is a slight difference between the central army guards who have always taken the elite route.

But they are used to being casual and need to spend more energy on following the rules.

But after almost a year of training, I can already make a move.

The remaining 40% were recruited from new immigrants from all over the country. Most of the Han people in Shandong were located, followed by Goryeo, Japan, Mongolians, Hui Hui people, Khitans and Jurchens, and the proportion was pitifully small.

Although this is not the first army that is not high in both officers and ordinary soldiers, the Mongols occupy a relatively low proportion. However, it is the most promising army among the regular army. If it can really succeed, it may be the army that has the lowest proportion of the Mongols and the highest proportion of naturalized civilians among the existing regular army.

But this situation is not good.

According to the meaning of Ulutus and the Governor's Office of the Five Army, all the troops of the Ming Dynasty should not make a single tribe account for too high proportion. This is not only to prevent certain risks, but also to promote the integration of the entire tribe.

As soon as the order to expand was issued, the generals in the army were very happy.

"Governor General, is the source of recruitment still the same rule?" A military general asked after he was happy.

The old rule is that the naturalized people account for half of the proportion, and the rest are recruited from other ethnic groups. If there is a difference, the difference will be made up from the naturalized people.

Compared with those immigrants who have been living in the north, the naturalized people who have always lived in the north have a high enthusiasm for joining the army. Because in terms of farming technology, these naturalized people are far inferior to those of the Han and Goryeo farmers. Even if they are given the same fields, they cannot grow crops like the Han people.

But after joining the army, the situation was very different. After their families became relatives of soldiers, they could choose a life that was more suitable for them within the scope of their ability. For example, to be a supervisor at a mine or an ordinary worker at a workshop. Compared with farmers with higher technical requirements, being an assembly line worker is more convenient for them to integrate into the life of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if these don’t work, you can still go to a large business to act as a guard.

Anyway, no matter how you choose, just don’t farm.

Don’t think that farming seems simple in later generations. In fact, in the absence of fertilizers and excellent agricultural seeds, it is not so easy to get a good harvest. Even with the fertility provided by black soil, it will lead to a sudden emergence of plant diseases.

When the whole family is counting on one acre of three-point land to fill their stomachs, once the harvest is not good or the harvest is absolutely impossible, the entire family is in danger of starvation to death.

The tribes in the forest make a living by fishing and hunting. It is really not a good experience to farm like those Han people. Therefore, if you have other choices, it is best not to farm without farming.

In addition, moving into the city is something that many naturalized people yearn for very much.

The Ming Dynasty is still in the stage of providing distribution. Although most of the people who settled in the city have no land, they must have a job to support themselves. A small number of people were assigned land around the city when the city was first built.

After being discovered by the security army, the truly homeless person will definitely be sent to the immigrant villages as quickly as possible to be resettled.

This is also an important reason why wandering and beggars are rarely seen in the cities and rural areas of Daming.

"Well! It's done as follows the previous example." Li Zhuang said, but he was already looking forward to the moment when the militia turned into a regular army. He immediately instructed: "It's better to lack personnel than to just fill in the numbers. If we lose the opportunity for our Longjiang militia, this Governor will hold us accountable to the end."

According to Li Zhuang's majesty in Longjiang Province now, he could really do this. Others said that when they left, relying on their close relationship with Li Zhuang, Dayu Xi approached Li Zhuang in the name of important matters and suggestions and asked: "Governor General, is it necessary to form an Eastern Army?"

Now, in the Governor's Office of the Five Army of the Ming Dynasty, there are actually only four armies in the South, North, West, and Central. When the Western Army was established in the old age, many soldiers were drawn from local militias. Now, when the militias in Longjiang Province are already full, they suddenly make exceptions to increase their organization, which is really unbearable.

When Li Zhuang heard this, he paused and said, "How can we speculate on the will of the court?"

"It's a humble prose Meng Lang!" Dayu Xi said with apologetic look on his face.

"Well! Do it well. If you have the opportunity, your benefits will be indispensable." Li Zhuang was very satisfied with Da Yuxi's attitude and added: "Your father did a good job in the position of studying politics. If possible, I wonder if he can take on the burden of civil affairs in the place?"

The civil affairs of a place are the local governor, and this is one of the three major local officials. Da Yuxi couldn't help but feel excited when she heard this. As a criminal minister, she had the opportunity to climb to a high position and become a rank like a rank-in-law official. Da Yuxi didn't dare to think further, so she tried to resist the excitement: "My father is always supported by the Governor, and he dare not have any unreasonable thoughts."

Seeing that he was so obedient, Li Zhuang felt even more satisfied and said, "Don't worry. Since this matter is out of my mouth, it's okay to think about it."
