Daming: I was exposed by Zhu Di's Sims life!

[You asked: "Your Majesty, the whole country of Ming Dynasty has standing troops, garrison troops, garrison troops, and preparation troops... and a series of troops add up to 800 million in total. I feel that this total force is still too much."]

【Your Majesty murmured: "Why, you Yu Qian thinks that the Ming Dynasty has too many troops and conquests too much, so you want to persuade me to rest and recuperate?"】

【You said solemnly: "In the eyes of the Ministry of War, there is no word for peace. There is only one war. In the Ming Dynasty, there was no Ministry of War for peace!"】

[Nine years ago, you once wrote "May your majesty restrain your warlike heart, reform with the people, and bestow favor on the world". Time has passed, and nine years later, you have already gone through countless trials and hardships. Wherever your majesty's sword points, the military department will kill you ! 】

Zhu Di is happy, this is right, the Ming Dynasty should be so stubborn!
The past dynasties have left different impressions on future generations.

The impression of Great Qin is the great ideal of creating a great unification; the impression of Liu Han is the hegemony of the Eastern Expedition; the impression of Li Tang is the prosperity of all nations; cowardice.

As for Daming, he always gives people a poor aesthetic feeling...

Ahem, Daming gives people a tough style!

This is me Daming!

peace talk?Talk about a fart!
You have millions of troops, how dare you propose peace with Daming?
【"I understand what you mean. You just want to say that the army of Ming Dynasty is already large enough. An army of forty to five million can sweep the world. Retaining such a large army will consume too much power of the country." His Majesty said, "I I am also aware of this matter, even though the national strength of Ming Dynasty has surpassed any dynasty, the burden of 500 million troops is still too heavy for Ming Dynasty, so I have a large-scale disarmament, reducing this number to 800 million." 】

[Indeed, even in Hengjing Dynasty, whose national power is unprecedentedly strong, the burden brought by a total force of 800 million is still too heavy. 】

[Daming continued to expand its territories, bringing twenty countries in the southwest into its territory, while assimilating foreign races, and at the same time moving the people of the Ming Dynasty to divide the land, the population of the Ming Dynasty surged. 】

[With a large population and a large army, there will be management problems.If we still follow the previous system and manage with the empty frame of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion and the Ministry of War, it is obviously impossible to manage it.With such a large number of troops, once there is a discord in management, it will cause a huge disaster. 】

[As Minister of the Ministry of War, you know very well that it is impossible for the Ministry of War to manage these 800 million troops alone, and even if it can manage it, the disadvantages of the Ministry of War's own excessive power will be revealed. The 800 million army is no longer just the spear and shield of Daming, it is a coal mine, a little spark will make the coal mine burn more and more intensely, until it burns Daming to ashes. 】

[The Anshi Rebellion brought about by the left general An Lushan and the eunuch Shi Siming during the Tianbao period made Li Tang, who was in great prosperity for a while, fall into irreparable weakness.For an extremely powerful country, the most deadly thing is not foreign aggression, but internal strife. Today's Daming in the Hengjing Dynasty is very similar to Li Tang in the Tianbao Dynasty. 】

Zhu Di nodded, this was also what worried him the most.

"A powerful army is an invincible sharp blade, but if this sharp blade is too sharp, I'm afraid it will hurt myself."

An army of 800 million, even if it is reduced to 650 million, is still an extremely large number.

The most typical example is that after Tang Taizong's "Regulation of Zhenguan", Tang Gaozong's "Yonghui Regime", Wu Zetian's "Government of Zhenguan, Zheng Kaiyuan" and Tang Xuanzong Li Longji's "Kaiyuan Prosperity", it reached its peak The full body of Tang Dynasty.

However, an Anshi Rebellion caused the capital Chang'an to fall, and the Emperor Tang fled. For a while, the flames of war raged into chaos, causing this extremely powerful empire to decline from prosperity to decline. After the Anshi Rebellion, there will be no prosperous Tang Dynasty to speak of.

The biggest factor that caused the Anshi Rebellion was the excessive power of the local warlords.

The sergeants recruited by the Fubing system were bribed by local generals, and the warlords in other provinces were intertwined and inseparable.The Jiedushi system established by the Tang Dynasty in the frontier defense made the power of the warlords more and more inflated, so that the warlords had both their land, their people, their soldiers, and their wealth, resulting in a situation that could not be lost. .

The frontier army in the Tang Dynasty continued to expand, accounting for more than [-]% of the country's military strength, and the army under the emperor's jurisdiction was not only insufficient in strength, but also far from being comparable to the frontier army in strength. It's revealed.

Although the Ming Dynasty did not have the system of Jiedushi in the Tang Dynasty, according to Zhu Di's own analysis, there were actually alternative products.

It is impossible for the army in other provinces to have no supreme commander, and there will be hidden dangers if there is a supreme commander.Previously, Lao Zhu's plan was to let the supreme commander be a member of the royal family, and it was the same reason for the vassal king to leave the town.

[In order to deal with the hidden dangers of the army, His Majesty made a drastic decision: from the third year of Hengjing, the commanders and envoys of all provinces will be transferred to other provinces to serve in other provinces, and the governors of the five army governors will be sent out, and the governors will be re-established. 】

[This is a very bold policy. The predecessor of the Five Armies Governor's Mansion was the Grand Marshal's Mansion, the Privy Council, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. The Dudu Mansion is divided into five parts. 】

【Grandfather Taizu's original intention was good. He wanted to use the Governor's Mansion and the Ministry of War to involve each other to achieve a balanced effect, so as to ensure that the military power would not be controlled by one person.The officials of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion are served by meritorious veterans, and the corpses of the officials in charge are vegetarian meals. After the death of the great grandfather, the power of the Ministry of War has surpassed the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, making the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion a complete display. 】

[Your Majesty's solution is to release the five armies, and change the original front, rear, center, left, and right armies to the east, west, south, north, and center armies. For Cong Yipin, it is under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Government.And the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion has a Left Metropolitan Governor and a Right Metropolitan Governor, which are the first grade. 】

[Although the captains of the five armies were cut off half of their ranks, their real power has undergone earth-shaking changes. They can directly manage the commanders and envoys in the provinces under their jurisdiction. . 】

[Although the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion governs the world's soldiers and horses in name, it is far superior to the Ministry of War in terms of status and power.In fact, a large part of the power of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was taken back by the emperor when it was established. In the true sense, the Zuo Metropolitan Governor is actually the emperor. 】

[In the end, a miraculously balanced situation was formed: the commanders of the provinces were under the jurisdiction of the five armies' governor's mansion, the five armies' governor's mansion was under the jurisdiction of the metropolitan governor's mansion, and the metropolitan governor's mansion was under the jurisdiction of the emperor.The power of the Ministry of War has been slashed, and the five armies' governor's office has no way to check and balance them, but now that there is a major governor's office, the Ministry of War can no longer do whatever it wants. 】

[In order to eradicate the problem of mutual protection between officials and officials after the entire system has solidified, officials in this system will be constantly transferred and adjusted. After a few years, he was transferred to the Northern Army... After a full circle, it was time to retire and return to his hometown. In the same way, the same is true for the officials of the provincial capitals. 】

[If it is in a normal period, this policy should be difficult to implement.Because this involves the mobilization of the Ministry of War, the provinces, and even millions of troops, any change will easily have adverse effects.However, His Majesty chose the time to implement this policy just after the end of the major disarmament, when the armies in various places were at their weakest, and the policy on the change of the army was easily implemented. 】

Zhu Di supported his forehead: "Damn, I don't have enough brains."

Isn't this a nesting doll?

The big ones set up the small ones, and the small ones set up the smaller ones. After the set up, the problem of the excessive power of the Ministry of War was restrained.

How did the fourth child grow his brain, and how did he come up with such a bad move?

Seeing this, the old man finally wanted to understand how Heng Jingchao's 800 million troops got here.

War is supported by war. After the annexation of the [-] countries in the Southwest, the population has been continuously migrated and assimilated to increase the population, which has supplemented the army with sufficient manpower; interlocking, the devolution of the five armies and the establishment of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and regular transfers The strategy is to stabilize the imperial power and prevent the breeding of local warlords.

At this time, Zhu Di also had to admit that Emperor Hengjing was far superior to him in terms of strategy and politics.

【You tentatively asked: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not just a simple gossip, right?"】

【You are a brain axis, but you are not stupid. 】

【"Yu Qing knows me." His Majesty smiled lightly, "I came here to discuss with you about the issue of military households and military settlements."】

【You gasped: "Does Your Majesty want to abolish the military households and military settlements? This is unacceptable, Your Majesty!"]

[The military system is the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty's national defense. The reason why the Ming Dynasty was able to support the most troops in the poorest situation was precisely because of the benefits from the military households and the military system. 】

[Sergeant guards the city with three points, and farms with seven points.There are also examples of [-], [-], [-], and middle half.All of them are poor in fertile soil and local buffering.Let the soldiers of the army farm the land to support the army. The great grandfather once said proudly: "I raise millions of soldiers, and I don't spend a single grain of rice on the people."]

【His Majesty shook his head: "It's not an abolition, it's a rectification."】

The Weisuo system was implemented when the Ming Dynasty was just founded. Sergeants had a fixed salary every month, which was called monthly rations. At first, according to the regulations, the rations were paid at the beginning of the month. The standard was two stones of rice per month for the horse army, one and a half stones for the general banner of the infantry army, and one stone for the small flag. Second, the flag army is one stone.

In addition to the monthly rations, the imperial court also distributed monthly salt to the sergeants. The standard was two catties for those who had a family, and one catty for those who did not. Supplies such as cotton.Generally speaking, serving as a soldier when the Ming Dynasty was first founded was a kind of nourishment, and it was not a problem to support a family.

However, in the middle and late period of the Hongwu Dynasty, there began to be records of discounts, that is, not all of them were given, and other things were used to distribute them.However, after the implementation of the Weisuo military settlement, the Banner Army had no salary and had to rely on the military fields to support themselves, and even winter clothes and cotton were only distributed to the Banner Army defending the city, and the Banner Army who farmed the land had nothing.

Moreover, the military households in Ming Dynasty were hereditary, and married sergeants’ wives had to live in the guards. The children and grandchildren were tied to the army. After death, the son took over and continued to work for the court.

But Zhu Di felt that there was nothing wrong with it, because Daming had always been poor and couldn't afford to support these millions of troops. If it didn't rely on military households and military settlements, wouldn't it be possible to exploit the people to death to support the army?

When the time comes, all the people in the world will be against it, so what?
【Your Majesty pondered and said: "Have you ever thought about what to do when the sergeants have no military land one day?"】

【You thought His Majesty was joking: "How is this possible? No matter how poor the court is, it is impossible to take back the military fields and destroy the Great Wall."】

【"The imperial court will not take back the military fields, but the leaders and generals and the gentry will annex land since ancient times. They will covet this rich military field and try their best to take it away from the soldiers." Your Majesty Said in a deep voice, "Soldiers don't have salaries, and they rely on military land to barely support their families. If the military land is taken away again, how will they survive? Besides, Daming's military households are hereditary. Not only can he not survive, but his descendants Of course, there is another possibility, that is, his descendants starved to death together with the sergeant before inheriting the status of sergeant. Faced with this situation, if you were a sergeant, what would you do? "]

【You fell into silence, this is something you never thought about. 】

Zhu Di was also silent, because he knew that what Emperor Heng Jing said was the truth.

The old man who has simulated history knows very well that after a hundred years, this kind of land annexation will become more and more serious, and the imperial court will become poorer and poorer because of the land annexation of local tyrants. There is no military land, and the army food cannot be paid.

After Emperor Jiajing succeeded to the throne, a Taoist official said: The frontier troops in the Xuanfu area have not been given food for several months, and their eyes are green with hunger.What's worse, some sergeants' daughters-in-law still go to the skin and meat business. There is no other way. They really can't survive. After seeing it, the officials on the border felt that these sergeants who guarded the border and defended the country for the Ming Dynasty were mixed up. It's too awful.

It is not uncommon for the banner army to be occupied and their rations deducted.

Liaodong general Xiong Tingbi found out that an officer asked Dun Jun to catch fish for him, and then guarding the pier were women and children. This man was stunned.

Is this the fucking border army?

Just pulling a beggar from the street to change clothes is more like a frontier soldier than these frontier soldiers!
【You were silent for a long time, and asked: "How does Your Majesty plan to improve?"】

【His Majesty smiled calmly, with a strategizing attitude, as if he had been prepared for a long time. 】

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes slightly, he was also looking forward to Zhu Gaoxuan's answer.

Brat, if you don’t confess to me in reality, I will expose you in the simulation!
【…】

[Yu Qian's simulation of random identity fragments ends. 】

A big question mark appeared above Zhu Di's head.

Nima's beast simulator!

Play this hand with me at the most critical moment, right?
Come on, pull this simulator out to peel the weeds, kill the ten clans, and copy the melons and vines!
Outrageous!
