Super Smuggling System

"Thank you, Duke Wei." Li Mu smiled, took the sword from Wei Zhongxian, and hung it on his waist again.

Wei Zhongxian smiled and didn't speak, with an expression of not participating in anything, he returned to the dragon case and concentrated on being his imperial pen.

Li Mu, who retracted his sword, looked at the ministers who stood up hastily and said: "I don't care about so many, I only know that you, as the cabinet and ministers of the Ministry of War, should be responsible for the abolition of Ming's military equipment. Besides, the abolition of military equipment It didn’t exist from the beginning, why didn’t the system of guards and soldiers fall into disuse during Taizu’s reign?”

"However, this seat believes that it's time for the Ministry of War to come up with a decent strategy for the reform of the military system, and the lifelong system of soldiers should be changed. Why does the army need an old man?"

Regarding the lifelong inheritance system of the Ming Dynasty's Weisuo Tuntian military system, Li Mu thought that it was okay in the early days, but in the late period, this system was simply cumbersome, more like the Land Reclamation Corps of the original plane, and even more bloated than the Land Reclamation Corps.

It is not clear whether there are more farmers or more soldiers.

After listening to Li Mu's proposal, a certain minister said, "But the reform will be obstructed by the local guard."

"It's okay, the Xiuchun Knife on Jin Yiwei's waist is not made of wood." Li Mu smiled, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be bloody, which made the hearts of these ministers tremble.

But I was very happy in my heart. Finally, it wasn't just the civil servants who were unlucky, and now the military officers were also starting to suffer. It was obvious that they listened to Li Mu's words. This meant that they were determined to reform the Ming Dynasty's military equipment, and Jin Yiwei would kill those who didn't follow suit.

2 Sixty chapters of Ming Dynasty!Ming dynasty! (two in one chapter)

The reform of the Ming military system can be regarded as an imminent matter. mianhuatang.la

The current Ming Dynasty is like a thin iron shell that looks very hard on the outside, with the aftermath accumulated over the years, protecting the shell from being easily damaged by external forces, but inside it is empty, like cotton wool.

Once someone opened a gap in the thin iron shell from the outside, they would know that the Ming Dynasty had reached the point where it was strong on the outside and dry on the inside.

All it takes is one ruthless poke, and this seemingly flower-bundled Daming will collapse with a bang, pierced with hundreds of holes, and shattered into pieces.

It can be said that there were not many Ming troops capable of fighting in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, and most of them were concentrated in the Liaodong area, engaging in a long-term tug-of-war with the Jurchens.

Most of the finances of the Ming court were also concentrated in Liaodong to maintain this huge border defense line, so that it would not collapse under the constant attacks of the Jurchens and barely maintain the appearance of a giant.

If there is a real flaw in the Liaodong frontier defense and the Jurchens invade the mainland of the Central Plains, it will be like entering the Jurchens' own back garden. On the land of the Central Plains, it will be like entering an uninhabited land, walking in and out of the state of freedom.

Let this Daming, which is already experiencing constant natural disasters, add man-made disasters and cause more people to be displaced. Under the famine and man-made disasters, the land of the Central Plains will surely float for thousands of miles, sell themselves with weeds, and exchange children for food.

To treat patients who are terminally ill, and patients who know they are dead, Li Mu believes that the only way to save them is to use a two-pronged approach, using strong medicine to heal the body, and at the same time use a sharp knife to remove the festering parts outside the body, which is the best treatment method.

Even if this puts the patient into a period of weakness, that is far better than waiting to die.

Li Mu used this method to deal with Daming. From the establishment of the inspection team, to conduct inspections and investigations on the civil servants in Daming territory, it was the first strong medicine for Daming's country.

Now it's the Ming army's turn to drink this bloody potion, speed up the tempering process of this rusty treasured knife, and make it extremely sharp again, which can be used to kill the enemy.

"Starting today, the Ministry of War will set up a statistics team for the Daming guards to conduct statistics on all guards in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, check the real number of soldiers on the register, and register the number of young and strong men." Li Mu stood in the hall and looked around the officials of the Ministry of War and warned.

"Jin Yiwei will supervise the daily statistical work of the Ministry of War from the sidelines. If there is any concealment, whether it is a local official or a statistical officer of the Ministry of War, Jin Yiwei will deal with it on the spot according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no need to escort it back to the capital for trial."

Regarding the chaos in the Weisuo at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Mu has learned a little about it through historical materials, and there will always be phenomena similar to over-reporting and private reporting in local Weisuo.

As for the deduction of military pay, it is even more common. These deducted military pay are used by those officials on private servants. That is to say, in the late Ming Dynasty, many generals used the military pay issued by the court to support their own private troops.

Li Mu will never tolerate this.

An official of the Ministry of War said: "But my lord, if this is the case, there will definitely be resistance in the local area."

"It's okay, Jin Yiwei has a knife in his hand, so he can suppress these resistances." Li Mu reiterated indifferently.

He didn't pay much attention to strategy when dealing with civil servants, but let him be reasonable when dealing with these uneducated soldiers?That is dreaming, and it is purely playing the piano to the cow. When he was in the Datang plane, he never explained half the truth to the sergeants of the Quanzhou Navy. Listen, if you don't listen, you have to listen, otherwise it's easy to say, you can either get out or be punished.

The bounden duty of a soldier is to obey orders, obey the will of the country, protect the sanctity of the country, and the people's living and working in peace and contentment, unless the order violates the above preconditions.

Seeing that Li Mu was unreasonable, the official turned to Zhang Yan after the Long case, hoping that the Empress Dowager Jian Guo would stop this unrealistic proposal, but he got a tearful answer.

Zhang Yan saw the eyes cast by the military officials, and said very trustingly: "What Li Aiqing said is what the Ai family wants to say."

This answer really made the officers of the Ministry of War feel pained, especially next, no matter what Li Mu said, Zhang Yan said the last sentence with a smile.

"Well, what Li Aiqing said is what the Ai family wants to say."

"Well, what Li Aiqing said is what the Ai family wants to say."

"I hope the Ministry of War will remember that the reform of the military system in the Ming Dynasty will definitely cause certain losses. As long as it does not harm the foundation of the country, I think the Empress Dowager will agree." After speaking, Li Mu glanced at Zhang Yan who was sitting on the dragon chair.

All the military officials also looked at Zhang Yan who was sitting on the dragon chair, waiting for the final conclusion.

"Aijia believes that Emperor Taizu was able to establish the Ming Dynasty from the very beginning. Compared with Emperor Taizu back then, Aijia thinks these losses can be borne, and the court can bear it." Zhang Yan was silent for a while and looked at the people present. everyone said.

"Thinking about it, the common people will support it when they know it. When future generations talk about today's court meeting, they will also praise Li Aiqing's proposal. They understand Aijia's current mood and the good intentions of the ministers."

"The ministers are willing to bear the burden together with the queen mother." Needless to say, Zhang Yan said so much, the only core is to express support for Li Mu's proposal, and the ministers can only bow down and accept the order.

"My dear family." Zhang Yan stood up at this time and said, "Da Ming is troubled by internal and external troubles, and the Ai family thinks that the majesty of Daming is not something that a traitor can bully at will, and that the Liaodong Border Pass is not a traitor who can come and leave whenever he wants. "

"As Li Aiqing said, Jurchen, a rebel who doesn't know the grace of the great tomorrow, can only be convinced by other vassal states if they are severely punished."

"The Ai family believes that it is acceptable to decree that Jurchen will never be recruited."

Zhang Yan's decision also officially put Da Ming and Jurchen on the table of feud, and there was no room for maneuver. It is true that even without this imperial decree, there was no room for Da Ming and Jurchen to maneuver in history.

Dynasties change, and there has never been any emotion to talk about. The losers can only accept the fate of being eliminated, swept into the garbage dump of history, and appear in the annals of history.

"The Empress Dowager's decision." The cabinet and the Ministry of War could only agree.

Next, Li Mu briefly explained the compulsory military system in his own plane and the regularization of the army, and slowly explained it to the officials of the Ministry of War.

However, Li Mu made a slight modification to the compulsory military system in this plane, that is, temporarily changed the two-year and three-year compulsory military system to the minimum ten-year compulsory military system.

After all, cold weapons are different from hot weapons. The extension of the military system is only good for the Ming army, and has no disadvantages. In addition to having more veterans, there is also a reduction in the frequency of replacement of the army. This is very important for the cold weapon army.

Of course, during the discussion, Li Mu also encountered a problem. If the army is to be formalized, it will face the problem that soldiers do not work, and they have to rely entirely on the state to support them during their tenure.

In this way, the cost of the regular army of the entire Ming Dynasty is even greater than that of a Liaodong frontier defense. Based on the tax revenue of the imperial court's Weibo, it is estimated that there is not much regular army to support.

Fortunately, there is a lot of money stored in the palace, that is, the large amount of money that Li Mu got from raiding the house, and only a small part of it was used for Jin Yiwei in the early stage.

Now it can be used to support the normalization of the Ming army in the early stage, which also makes Li Mu unable to consider how to solve the problem of Daming's tax revenue being weak at the top and strong at the bottom.

Of course, Li Mu wasn't stupid enough to impose taxes on the local area. The entire Ming Dynasty was in a precarious state, vacillating, and showing signs of collapse at any time.

If taxes are imposed by force, the local government will force these extra taxes on the people. In this way, the people will go to extremes under persecution and revolt.

The reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty was not only the Jurchen invasion of the border in the external environment, but also the vicious internal living environment, and the persecuted people set off a huge peasant uprising.

There is a saying that goes well, an uprising without the participation of the people cannot be called an uprising, it can only be called a rebellion.

The severe drought in Shaanxi was quickly extinguished with Li Mu's intervention, which indirectly solved a big problem for Daming, that is, Li Zicheng, who was working at the Shaanxi post station, would not lose his job because of the severe drought.

In Shaanxi, where the disaster is being provided, even if Li Zicheng, the historical Chuang Wang, really lost his job, he would not have the inherent conditions to incite the people to rebel against him.
