Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 210 Mother and Son Reunited

However, it is still very cumbersome to do this.Just to rectify the situation in each health center is a big project.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen didn't mean that at all, and spread it across the country at one request.The first thing he did was to build the railway from the subway mining area of ​​Gyeonggi to the capital.Therefore, the first batch of guards to be reorganized are only guards around the capital.

At this time in the late Ming Dynasty, the most serious problem of the guard system was actually that military fields were occupied by private individuals.Or local tyrants, or military generals.So much so that the emperor Taizu was proud of it, saying that it was impossible for a million troops to cost the court a penny.

In addition, the generals in the army treated the military households of the institute like cattle and horses, which was also a major drawback in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

All of these led to a large number of military households fleeing from the various guards in the late Ming Dynasty.On the books, there may be less than 300 people in a thousand-household office.

In this way, in fact, the pressure on Emperor Chongzhen to reorganize the guard system was much less.At least for him, the initial investment of money is less.

In the past, there had been a decree issued requiring the guards in various places to pay their salaries.I don't know how the situation in other places is, at least under the imperial city, it still has some effect.

After Emperor Chongzhen started the reform of the guards, he immediately dispatched two factories, one guard and military officials on a large scale, one guard and one guard to check the situation.

All the military households in the guards, who are in the army establishment, are all converted into railway soldiers and included in the roster of the railway department.If it is old and weak, the military household is required to replace it with a young and strong one.If not, draw one from the family.

This is what the original guards did. The Chongzhen Emperor's approach has not changed.

If it is the past, there will be escape situations.No one wants the young and strong in the family to serve as cattle and horses for those officials.

But this time, the imperial court made it clear: those included in the roster of railway soldiers will be paid one or two taels a month, and there will be no arrears.If there is any deduction, you can directly sue the imperial court.

In addition, the military fields of the original guards were distributed to the military households of the original guards.In principle, every household has one, but if there are young and strong members of the family who are included in the roster of the railway soldiers, more military land will be allocated.

These reforms are intended to be piloted in the guards in the capital, especially the guards around the capital, one step ahead.

If it is said that the reform is actually the distribution of benefits, it will definitely damage the interests of some people.Then, most of the people who lost their interests were the officers of the guards, such as the hundred households of the hundred households, the thousand households of the thousand households, and the higher is the capital, or the powerful who are adjacent to the military field.

If the place is remote, these people will definitely be able to struggle.However, at the root of this imperial city, the biggest tyrant is Emperor Chongzhen.Anyone who dares to fight against him will be overwhelmed.

On the surface, the second victim of this reform was Emperor Chongzhen himself.

Because the railway soldiers belonged to the newly established Railway Department of the Inner Palace, they had to be paid every month. This was a large sum of money, which was not needed before.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the emperor resisted the responsibility this time.

Now that the emperor has gone through this, the people below are even more afraid to make trouble.Otherwise, who can compare to what the emperor paid?

While many people are not reconciled, they are also secretly watching the good show.

They don't believe it anymore, if the emperor can resist the reformation of the railway soldiers in the guards in the capital, can he resist the railway soldiers in the guards of the whole country?

Also, it’s fine to pay the military salary for one month, and you will have to pay the military salary every month in the future. How much money does your emperor have, is it enough?
They believed that sooner or later, Emperor Chongzhen would not be able to bear the reformation of so many guards, and finally let the reformation of this guard be silently forgotten.

Based on such expectations, Emperor Chongzhen's reform of the railway corps went smoothly.The guards one by one are reorganized efficiently.

Of course, this matter is easy to say, but it also took a lot of energy from Emperor Chongzhen.

The reorganization of the Beijing camp, the expansion of the Yongwei Battalion, the logistics supply at the Bingzhan Bureau, and now the railway corps, preparations for the construction of the railway, the teaching of the Academy of Sciences, the inspection of the Military Academy, etc., Emperor Chongzhen I do it myself, and I dare not be sloppy.

The reason for this is that he was really afraid.I am afraid that the common problems of corruption, self-enrichment and so on at this time will appear in these aspects.

………………

While he was busy with these, two armies joined forces in Shanxi.

Seeing the white pole soldier Ma Xianglin looking at Tanma in front of him in great surprise, he confirmed: "My mother is in front?"

Although it is a question, it is actually affirmative.Because in front of him were not only scouts from his team, but also scouts from Qin Liangyu's White Army.

When the two parties met Ma Xianglin, some of them came to see Ma Xianglin.

No, Ma Xianglin couldn't wait for an answer, and immediately explained loudly to the people around him: "You lead the army and follow, I will take a step first!"

In the first half sentence, he explained to his subordinates.And the second half of the sentence was addressed to the eunuch passing the decree around him.

Ma Xianglin couldn't wait to talk about it separately, and when he was in a hurry to finish speaking, he squeezed the horse's belly with both legs, and the horse, under the pain in his crotch, jumped out with a "swish", let go of his feet, and galloped forward.

When the many white pole soldiers saw it, they all smiled knowingly.Then Ma Xianglin's personal guard immediately yelled at the horse and chased Ma Xianglin away.

Gao Shiyue, the eunuch who passed the decree, was also one of the popular eunuchs around Emperor Chongzhen, and he knew very well in his heart the emperor's trust in the Baigan Army.

Therefore, he didn't care about Ma Xianglin's relatively impolite behavior, he smiled along with it, and then boasted: "General Ma, you are really filial!"

...............

On Qin Liangyu's side, she had just received a report from her visit to the horse, saying that she was a little surprised to meet her son's army earlier.

Because in the past, she only knew that her son was suppressing bandits in the Central Plains, probably in the Xiangyang area, but because of the war and inconvenient transportation, she didn't know what happened behind Ma Xianglin.

It was a bit strange to meet him suddenly in Jindi at this time.

But whether it's strange or not, she hasn't seen her son for several years. Even if there is a grandson at home, she still misses him very much.

Especially since she already knew that her daughter-in-law Zhang Fengyi died in the battle against the bandits, she was even more worried about her son.

It is naturally impossible for Qin Liangyu to know that if the original history develops according to the original history, his son will also die in Xiangyang in a few months.

At this time, when she was thinking about her son, she saw a horse riding in the distance in front of her, galloping towards him.

Although he was far away, Qin Liangyu knew it was his son when he saw the figure.Immediately, her eyes couldn't help but become moist.

Although she is a heroine among women, she has led the army for many years and is used to seeing life and death, and has also experienced the constant death of relatives and friends.But at the same time, she is also a mother, raising her son through hardships.

Seeing his son's healthy and healthy appearance, he felt relieved, and it would be a lie to say that he was not excited.

The so-called beacon fire lasts for three months, and family letters are worth ten thousand gold!Not to mention, it is even more rare to be able to see relatives with one's own eyes when leading troops to fight all the year round and the banditry is getting worse.

"mother……"

When you get closer, you can hear Ma Xianglin's shout.

Seeing this situation, the soldiers of the Baigan Army involuntarily stopped their progress and watched their coach continue to drive the horse slowly.

Ma Xianglin galloped all the way to Qin Liangyu, then reined in the reins, immediately rolled off the saddle and fell off the horse. While kneeling on one knee, he clasped his fists in both hands, raised his head excitedly and said loudly: "My child has seen your mother!"

With one eye, he just stared at Qin Liangyu up and down, afraid of seeing any injuries.

Just as Qin Liangyu was worried about him, he was also worried about Qin Liangyu.

Unlike other family members, his mother led the army to fight for the country, but hid in a deep house compound.As much as his mother worried about him, he worried about his mother as much.

It can be said that he worried about his mother far more than his son who was at home.

When Qin Liangyu saw his son in front of him, he also got off his horse, walked quickly to his son, stretched out his hand to help him, and said with a smile on his face, "My son, is there any injury?"

"No, mother, the baby is fine!" Ma Xianglin stood up, patted his chest, and said loudly, "Look, you're just pretending!"

Seeing that her son was really fine, Qin Liangyu was very relieved.Immediately, she asked the question about her whereabouts: "Why are you also in Jindi? Aren't you in Xiangyang?"

Hearing this, Ma Xianglin didn't answer immediately, but asked with concern: "Mom, are you okay? I want my son to tell you that you are already so old, so you should stay at home and lead soldiers to fight everywhere. The child is always worried!"

When Qin Liangyu heard this, he immediately smiled, and while still looking at his son, he replied: "The affairs of the country are so difficult, and my mother is capable, so how can she sit idle at home? It is my duty to eat the king's salary and be loyal to the king. The emperor's kindness is mighty, we should be loyal to the king's affairs, and restore peace to the world as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, Ma Xianglin nodded immediately, and said to Qin Liangyu with a smile: "Mother is right! The child came to Beijing by order, and he arrived in the capital from Xiangyang."

Having said that, after a pause, he said excitedly: "Mother, guess what the emperor transferred the child to the capital?"

Seeing his son so happy, Qin Liangyu smiled and said, "It seems that you have received a lot of rewards, right?"

"Guess what reward is it?" Ma Xianglin asked excitedly after hearing this.

Knowing a son is like a mother, seeing his son so happy, Qin Liangyu knew that this reward would definitely not be low.

So, she asked curiously: "My son, don't let your mother guess wildly. The left and right are just giving you a title, or gold and silver, what else is there?"

Hearing this, Ma Xianglin smiled happily.My mother has always been wise, but now she can't guess at all.

But he didn't dare to whet his mother's appetite, so he said with a smile: "Mother will never think of what the emperor rewarded this time!"

"Oh?" Qin Liangyu became curious as soon as he heard it. Hearing what his son meant, the reward this time was unexpected, but also very good?

How unexpected and good can it be?
