The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 90 Military Reform
Sun Jie did a good job that day, and not long after, the old sows became pregnant with piglets.

Under normal circumstances, the pregnancy of old sows is about four months.

It's just started now, with Wang Bi and those swineherds taking care of her, there's no need to worry too much.

The people's residences began to be built outside the city, and the plan proposed by Sun Ling had already begun to be implemented.

Sun Jie made additions to Sun Ling's plan, and there was nothing inappropriate about it.

Some of the people in the city have already moved out.

The city suddenly became much emptier, and Sun Jie understood that this was only temporary.

All the bandits around were wiped out.

During the clean-up, some were even intentionally omitted, and they dragged the recruits over to practice.

Six thousand soldiers and horses are almost the same now, and almost everyone has seen blood. I dare not say that it is the strongest army in the world, and it will not be too far behind.

The expansion of the army did not stop, and Qin Shang brought a group of people over, and now the number of people stationed in the area has reached 8.

Sun Jie transferred some strong men to serve as recruits.

Currently, Sun Jie has more than [-] troops in his hands.

These [-] people have basically seen blood.

Under Wang Bi's management, these extra people began to grow potatoes.

Chen De, who followed Sun Jie a long time ago, has also been promoted to a farmer now.

Directly responsible to Wang Bi, in charge of farmland reclamation, grain cultivation, land crops and other matters.

It is rare for people to live to be 70 years old. Although Wang Bi is not [-] years old, when he came here before, he looked sluggish.

But now, she is living younger and younger, with a rosy face, rejuvenated by a second spring.

On the contrary, he is a responsible person who often learns culture and accounts from Wang Bi.

Today, he can already write a lot of words, and he can also settle accounts.

The surrounding fields were also slowly reclaimed.

Chen De was in the fields almost every day, teaching the newcomers the farming experts he had learned from Sun Jie long ago.

The resident has been completely spread out, and these newcomers almost all have fields.

Sun Jie didn't need to take care of the fields allocated to them.

With Wang Bi, Chen De and others, how can Sun Jie be used?

There is wasteland all around. In the past, there was no water and no one cultivated it. Now there are wells, and the reclaimed land is farmland.

The season has not yet passed, it is time to plant potatoes.

Winter wheat needs to be taken care of, and it will be harvest time in a few months.

The more people there are, the easier things will be.

These people are divided into villages according to their surnames.

The tradition of this era likes to live together in groups.

If they are forced to separate, it will cause trouble instead.

Many of their houses are built with adobe, but for them, they are already very good, much better than when they were wandering.

There is also an ancestral hall built in the village, which is indispensable and their spirit.

However, in addition to the ancestral hall, Sun Jie's ancestral hall was also built.

The Shengci Temple can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty: Luanbu in the Western Han Dynasty was the Minister of Yan, and Yan and Qi established a society for it, named Luan Commune;This is the beginning of Lisheng Temple.

During the reign of Tianqi, Wei Zhongxian was in trouble, and officials from all over the country built many ancestral halls for him in order to flatter him.

That is to say, from the beginning of him, Shengci has become smoky and has become a derogatory term.

There are two sides to the matter, Sun Jie took in these people and gave them a way to survive.

In this troubled world, it is a great blessing.

Drill wells for them, feed them, and clothe them.

Not to mention, these lands will be given to them in the future.

From ancient times to the present, where has such a person existed?It is no exaggeration to say that the stars in the sky descended to earth.

As a result, these people spontaneously built a living temple.

Sun Jie's ancestral hall is the best building in every village, with big bricks and tiles, it looks good.

Not even their ancestral halls can compare.

The common people will go to Sun Jie's ancestral hall to burn incense and bless them when they meet the season.

When Sun Jie knew this, he felt a little uncomfortable.

In modern times, there is no rule of building a shrine, which suddenly makes people worship, and always feels uncomfortable.

But Wang Bi said that this is the only means of gratitude that these people can think of.

If it is forbidden, it will be a bad thing.

No choice but to let them go.

There are village chiefs in the village, and they are all people with high morals and surnames.

Every five days, Wang Bi and Chen De would gather these village chiefs to explain Sun Jie's recent policies.

This is what Wang Bi came up with, the main purpose is to deepen the connection between Sun Jie and these people.

This was greatly supported by Sun Jie, this method is really good.

Sometimes, Sun Jie would go over in person to preside over the meeting.

In addition, Sun Jie intends to let Wang Bi prepare to build a school.

Nothing can be hard for students, and nothing can be poor for education.

Wanting to make the world a better place is not just as simple as moving materials from modern times.

Education is the most basic thing.

Without education, many things are duckweed on water.

With more people, there are naturally more children.

These innocent children should go to school to learn.

They are either too young or illiterate.

First teach them basic knowledge, let them know characters first, understand etiquette, righteousness and shame, and understand morality and justice.

After the foundation is solid, we can start some modern primary school textbooks to study science, mathematics and other knowledge.

In the future, we will also teach them physics, chemistry, biology and other knowledge, but the food must be eaten bite by bite, and the road must be walked step by step.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, take your time, don't rush.

The school is still under construction. For the convenience of management, only one school has been built.

It is precisely because there is only one school, so the floor area and the school building rooms are very large, and the construction will not be completed for a while.

As for the teachers in the school, most of them are poor and poor scholars in Xi'an Prefecture. Most of them are pedantic, but there is no problem in teaching people to read.

Ordinary people will organize themselves to learn literacy and arithmetic during the slack season.

The strategy of ignoring the people is not advisable. If you want national liberation, you must let them learn knowledge.

Those ruling classes in ancient times liked to say this sentence very much, "The people can let them know, but they can't make them know", but is this the real meaning?

Probably not.

This sentence comes from "The Analects of Confucius·Chapter 8·Tai Bo Pian": "The Master said: Prosper in poetry, establish in rituals, and succeed in music. Master said: The people can be made and let them, but they cannot be made to know them."

Confucius probably meant, "If the people can do it, let them do it freely; if they can't, let them understand the truth, let them understand the truth."

However, in order to safeguard their own interests, rulers often interpret it as "the people can let them do what they want, but they cannot make them know."

But for Sun Jie, it is necessary to open up people's wisdom and practice education.

The world today is in a time of great change.

The west has already embarked on a great voyage. If it cannot be greatly promoted, how can it stand on top of the world?
In addition to this school, Sun Jie also plans to build a military academy.

At present, there are more soldiers and horses, and the number of grassroots officers is also increasing day by day.

But they have a common shortcoming-mostly illiterate.

This is not a good thing, marching and fighting is more knowledge, and knowledge must be mastered.

Knowledge is the spiritual pillar of an army.

Not only officers, but ordinary soldiers also need to study culture and increase their knowledge.

The military academy has not yet been established, and the address has not yet been chosen.

But Sun Jie already had a plan, and when he came back from this battle, he would start to deal with it.

……

The number of soldiers and horses is too large, and the previous matters should also be considered.

A long time ago, Wang Bi told Sun Jie about military affairs.

It is necessary to build a general framework, use these people as bones, and the soldiers and horses recruited in the future will be used as flesh and blood.

Sun Jie was very busy before, and there were not many soldiers and horses, so it has not been implemented.

But this time, the total number of soldiers and horses was more than [-], which also met the requirements.

Sun Jie didn't listen or believe, he didn't pat his head and think for himself.

Gather Chen Hu, Zhao Dading, Liang Wu, Wang Bi, and those low-level soldiers in the army together to discuss this matter.

This matter is of great importance, and it is related to major military and political affairs in the future, how can we be sloppy?
In the front hall of the General's Mansion (Sun Jie's residence), Sun Jie sat in the chief seat, and the people in the lower hall sat in two rows according to the size of their official positions.

Chongzhen did not arrange for these people. Strictly speaking, they were not military officers at all.

However, Sun Jie didn't care.

It's just that there are so many people, most of those hundreds of households are standing behind.

"Everyone, today's matter is for the future military and political affairs. Now that there are [-] soldiers, how should they be reformed? I hope many people can give more advice. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. For military and political affairs, you can speak freely!"

Sun Jie opened his mouth and set the tone of the theme.

Sitting in the hall, Wang Bi kept nodding, with a smile on his face.

I hope that the Lord will understand, what Sun Jie wants to do now, Wang Bi has already considered it in his heart.

As a subordinate, I am most afraid of meeting the kind of lord who is stubborn and can't listen to what he says.

Sun Jie's approach is not unprecedented, but it can be called wise.

Don't listen to one side and believe in another, this alone surpasses many generals in the world.

In doing this, Sun Jie not only considered everything, but actually had another consideration.

That is to increase the participation of grassroots officers in the military.

Sometimes people are so weird.

It may seem like a trivial matter to increase participation, but it means a lot to these grassroots officers.

In the traditional army, grassroots officers are grassroots officers. You only need to do your own thing well, and leave the rest alone.

It doesn't matter for a short time, but after a long time, these low-level officers will become dull, even a little dull.

Like, what does this army have to do with me?Whatever the Shangguan says, it doesn't matter if he succeeds or fails, as long as my salary is indispensable.

This kind of thinking is not advisable, it will slowly corrode the morale of the army.

Increasing the participation of grassroots military officers does not dare to say that this problem can be completely solved, but it can also improve a lot.

You can develop their ownership mindset, get them involved, and allow them to grow further.

Although those hundreds of households had no seats, they were all smiling and proud.

Wang Bi stood up first.

Under Sun Jie's tent, he was regarded as a civil servant.

Beginning in the Song Dynasty, Wengui Wuqing.

Sun Jie doesn't have so many rules here, but this matter has become a habit, and it will be difficult to change for a while.

"My lord, now that the military is reforming, my opinion is that you should refer to the military system of the Ming Dynasty.

The military system of the Ming Dynasty was born out of the former Yuan Dynasty. Emperor Taizu Gao combined the advantages and disadvantages of the former Yuan military system to create the Weisuo system.

The emperor monopolized the military and political power, and set up guards in important places across the country. The soldiers continued from generation to generation, and their supplies depended on farming.

Later Emperor Chengzu improved on this basis and set up three camps, the Beijing Camp.

In my opinion, we can refer to it! "

After Wang Bi finished speaking, he sat down.

What do you say?
Can't say good, can't say bad.

A mediocre sentence.

Still can't let go, still afraid of saying the wrong thing.

Sun Jie could see it naturally, and said, "What you said is not bad, but for future military and political affairs, we can't be so rough.

No worries though.Let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the Ming military system! "

Wang Bi did not take the lead this time, and it took time to think.

Chen Hu looked around and saw no one came out, so he stood up.

He stood in the hall and said: "My lord, it's not that the last general speaks wildly. The Ming military system is flawed, and the last general has something to say!"

Chen Hu was born in the frontier army of the Ming Dynasty, so he has a deep understanding of those shortcomings.

"Bearing the brunt, the worst, the worst, and the most disgusting, is this hereditary military household!"

Immediately opened his mouth to curse, without any consideration.

When I was in Yansui Town, I wanted to scold, but I didn't dare to.

Now it's not a frontier army, so if you scold him, you will scold him.

Still feeling puzzled, he cursed again: "Although I haven't read history books, the current military system is really bad.

Laozi is a military household, his son is a military household, and his grandson is also a military household.

If my father wants to be a soldier, my son will be a soldier, and my grandson will be a soldier.

If the day is good, don't say anything.But life is getting worse and worse, and the head can be seen at a glance.

In a famine year, coupled with severe criticism from the Shangguan, life is simply worse than death.

When I was in the frontier army, to be honest, I made a lot of contributions, but in the end I was still an ordinary soldier.

There is no way out, no way out, no way forward, fighting for so many years, can't save much money, can't even get a wife, it's really not a good thing! "
