The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

The recruitment system that Hu Zongxian, Qi Jiguang and others started to implement was a bold attempt to break the previous military household system, but it was an expedient measure under the Japanese invasion.

Now, Yan Song wants to elevate the Southeast's approach to a national system, and this work is handed over to Zhang Siwei.

. .

Chapter 1540 Take control of the general trend and unite all forces [6]

Zhang Siwei talked eloquently: "The lower officials have carefully studied the military system of the Qi Family Army, and determined that the strength of the Qi Family Army is based on relatively fair and generous treatment. If the experience of the Qi Family Army's recruitment system can be promoted throughout the country, the military service system must be implemented. .”

A trace of surprise flashed across Yan Song's face.

The military service system is a military recruitment system commonly used in modern countries.Young men of the right age throughout the country are obliged to perform military service.Then, based on the selection results, the specific people who will serve in the military are determined.

For modern people, the military service system is no stranger, but for an ancient man like Zhang Siwei, it is surprising that he could think of this system 500 years in advance.

Zhang Siwei said sternly: "Now, on the surface, my Daming is full of victories, and the world is invincible, but in fact, dangers are everywhere. Mongolia was injured but the "February [-]th" survived, and in recent years it has regained its vitality. The tiger, Al Da Khan, is even more ambitious. After defeating Li Chenggui, Choi Ying, a rebellious minister of North Korea, expanded her ambitions and invaded the border of our Ming Dynasty many times. After the death of Emperor Akbar of the Mughal Empire, Salim, who was newly in power, coveted my Qinghai-Tibet even more. Spain Block my Daming sea route and prevent Europeans from trading..."

Yan Song's expression became more and more appreciative.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Siwei is so familiar with the international situation.Although there are suspicions of talking on paper, it at least shows that he has an international perspective and is very careful about the situation around him.

Compared with those who eat nothing, Zhang Siwei is very knowledgeable and capable.

Yan Song smiled: "Then tell me, what should Ming do to reform the military system?"

"The first step is to stipulate that all men over the age of 16 and under the age of 40 have the obligation to serve in the military, which is known to the whole country." Zhang Siwei said: "The second step is to train new troops according to the military service system to ensure the safety of my Ming Dynasty." The third step is to abolish the original military household system and liberate all the names of military households as civilians."

Yan Song admired it quite a lot, looked at Zhang Siwei, shook his head again and said: "You still think too simple. The biggest resistance of the military household system is actually..."

"My family of military generals in Ming Dynasty!" Yang Bo opened his eyes and said sharply.

Yan Song smiled.

This Yang Bo is worthy of being the elder who is in charge of the military, and he knows the chronic diseases in the Ming Dynasty's military like the palm of his hand.

The generals of the Ming Dynasty have an intricate and deep-rooted relationship with the military household system.

Because the Ming Dynasty absorbed the lessons of the demise of the Song Dynasty from the beginning of its establishment, the generals led troops relatively fixed, and formed their own factions.For example, Mu Ying has been stationed in Yunnan for a long time, known as Lord Mu, and Zhang Ying, the assisted state, has always taken root in the three major battalions of the capital because of his contribution to the dragon in the battle of Jing Nan. There are countless examples like this. enumerate.

After such a long period of time, the military households in various places have actually become half of the private army of various hereditary military generals in the Ming Dynasty, and these military generals' families regard them as their own vegetable gardens.

Now that Yan Song wants to promote the military reform of the Ming Dynasty, he must first abolish this kind of hilltopism. How easy is it?

Some people may ask, didn't the Ming Dynasty always value civility over military affairs, and the generals were low-ranking? Yan Song used Jiajing to suppress, wouldn't it be enough?

The problem is this.

Compared with civil servants, military generals are indeed inferior, but that refers to politics!

When it comes to the military world, when a battle starts, although the civilian officials are in command, it is these generals Qiu Ba who are familiar with the battle that are really in charge of the battle.

If they are all offended, who will Yan Song expect to fight in the future?

Among other things, Qi Jiguang is a hereditary general!His Qi family has inherited the military position of the sixth rank for generations! (Of course, Qi Jiguang is now sitting at the third rank, and with special merits, the military ranks inherited by his descendants will be higher in the future.)

D.

Even Yan Song had to be cautious about this kind of reform that offended all generals.

"What are you going to do?" Yan Song asked Zhang Siwei with a smile.

Zhang Siwei said seriously: "The so-called hereditary privileges of these generals are reserved. But if they want to keep the corrupt military household system, they must be severely punished! Mr. Yan Ge, ah, Mr. Yan, I am willing to fight for this reform, Do not hesitate to die!"

Yan Song looked at Yang Bo.

Yang Bo also nodded slightly, expressing the Jin Party's full support for this matter.

Yan Song nodded.

If Yang Bo + Zhang Siwei can handle this extremely difficult military system reform for him, even if he sends the Jin Party an extra senior position, so what?

"Forget it.... Before the court pushes, I hope to see a formal memorial. The next time the old court pushes, I will arrange a grand court meeting on military reform. If the grand court meeting can pass, this cabinet boss can guarantee you to pass Ting Tui, join the cabinet!"

Yan Song said calmly.

Zhang Siwei was extremely excited, he stood up and patted his chest and said, "Thanks to Mr. Yuanfu for your praise. This time Zhang Siwei will definitely try his best to complete the task assigned by the old Haoge!"

Yan Song nodded.

Hey, it's about time to join the court this time.

Li Chunfang and Zhang Siwei, two small cannon fodders succeeded!

The reform of talent selection and the reform of the military system of the Ming Dynasty, these two important reforms that have been planned for a long time, if they can take advantage of this opportunity and succeed in one fell swoop, what is the point of taking out two elders?

Yan Song knows that Li Chunfang has Jiajing behind him, and Zhang Siwei has the Jin Party behind him, and they are not easy people without foundation.

They teamed up with themselves and contributed 120%. It is very likely that this wave of great dynasties will pass two major reform plans.

Yan Song nodded slightly.

His routine is to unite all the forces that can be united, and spare no effort to promote the reform of Ming Dynasty.

Those who obey me prosper, those who oppose me perish!

After Yang Bo and Zhang Siwei left happily 4.3, Yan Song came one after another, ushering in a large wave of New Year greetings.

Shen Yiguan, Li Sancai, all those who hope to be promoted to the cabinet have come to Yan Song.
