Chapter 470, the new military system
"Sell newspaper~sell newspaper~"

"The imperial court wants to implement a compulsory military service system in Beizhili and conduct a trial~"

"The imperial court reformed the military system and took the lead in implementing pilot projects in Beizhili~"

The Daming Morning Post in the first issue of the new year immediately released a heavy news that the imperial court will implement a compulsory military service system in Beizhili, carry out pilots, reform the military system, establish a military academy, and implement a compulsory military service system.

"Give me one~Give me one~"

In the streets and alleys of the capital, accompanied by the yelling of the newsboys, the old and young men in the capital immediately took out copper coins to buy a newspaper, and prepared to take a good look at the compulsory military service system.

Soon, as the newspapers were bought, the young and old in the entire Beijing-Tianjin area began to look carefully at the new compulsory military service system.

According to the new official report issued by the imperial court, the imperial court plans to reform the military system, changing from the original military household system to the compulsory military service system. Compulsory military service system and the establishment of the first military academy in the Ming Dynasty - the Royal Military Academy of the Ming Dynasty.

The Daming Morning Post clearly stated the content of the compulsory military service system.

According to the official document issued by the imperial court, the imperial court will abolish the military household system in Beizhili. All military households will be changed from household registration to peasants, and will no longer be restricted by military household registration. At the same time, the imperial court will send officials to measure The fields of the households are distributed equally to the military households in the guard.

While the military household system was abolished, a compulsory military service system was implemented here in Beizhili.

Under the new compulsory military service system, all adult males with household registration in the Northern Zhili area, and men aged between [-] and [-] are obliged to perform military service.

The imperial court planned to recruit [-] recruits here in Beizhili for the first time. All adult men who met the requirements and requirements had to report to the local yamen, and then undergo an initial physical examination in each local yamen.

After the initial physical examination, the local yamen will gather in the capital for another physical screening, which also requires identification information screening.

Recruits recruited under the compulsory military system are only recruited from good families, and those who have committed crimes will not be accepted. At the same time, a letter of recommendation from the village is required to prove that you are from a good family.

This is a bit the same as the imperial examination system, which requires strict screening of the identities of candidates to ensure that they are all from good families.

At the same time, the newspaper also published in detail the benefits of the compulsory military system.

First, if someone in the family is determined to be conscripted after passing the physical screening and identity screening, within four years of military service, the imperial court will exempt the family from all taxes and corvee, and enjoy the same benefits as juren treatment.

Second, during the period of military service, all the expenses of the conscripts will be borne by the imperial court. At the same time, they can also receive the moon sound every month, which is tentatively set at one tael of silver per month.

One tael of silver for a month. This level is based on the income of ordinary people in the Beijing-Tianjin area. It is not high, but it is not low. The key is that the family members are exempted from taxes and corvee service, and in addition to military service All expenses during the period were also paid by the court, which is very competitive.

The third one is that if you die for your country during military service, you can be listed as a martyr of the Ming Dynasty, and you can be exempted from family taxes and corvee service for [-] years. At the same time, you can continue to receive Yuexiang until all your children reach the age of [-].

Fourth, once you become a conscript, you can learn literacy, arithmetic, astronomy, geography, etc. in the army for free. Those who perform well can enter the Royal Military Academy of the Ming Dynasty for further studies and become officers of the Ming Dynasty.

Fifth, all conscripts who have served in the military will not be affected by their military service after they are discharged, and their children will not be affected by their military service in taking the imperial examinations.

The Daming Morning Post has written all the information about the conscription system in great detail, from the scope of conscription, the conditions for conscription, to the time of military service, the benefits that can be enjoyed, etc., it is clearly written.

"Long live the Son of Heaven ~ long live, long live ~"

"The military household system has finally been abolished. Finally, we military households no longer need to be oxen and horses for those thousands and hundreds of households. We no longer have to look at the faces of those thousand and military households. Our children can also take the imperial examination~ "

When someone from a military family saw the news, they couldn't help feeling happy and bitter.

The military household system suffers the most from these military households.

There is no status if you want status, no money if you want money, and no future if you want to have a future. Even the descendants are dilapidated military households for generations, and it is difficult to marry a daughter-in-law. No one is willing to marry their daughter to Dilapidated military households.

Military households are really suffering.

Military fields were occupied by generals Xungui, and it was difficult to support their families, and they couldn’t get enough to eat. The key was to work hard for the hundreds of households and thousands of households above, farming and doing things for them. .

And they dare not complain, because their life and death are in the hands of hundreds of households, thousands of households, generations, descendants and grandchildren.

Now that the military household system is abolished here in Beizhili, the happiest thing is the military households in various guards in Beizhili. Many military households secretly come to work in the Beijing-Tianjin area, and they are actually worried all day long, for fear of being caught. The thousands and hundreds of households in the own guard were taken back, so even the wages were lower than others.

Once the military household system is abolished, they are no longer military households, but peasants. Not only do they no longer have to endure the exploitation of thousands of households or hundreds of households, but their descendants can also take the imperial examination and learn crafts. You can do business and so on, and you don't have to be restricted because of your status as a military household.

The military households who heard the news couldn't help shouting long live, shouting for the great son of heaven, once this system came out, they would really stand up, and from then on they could straighten their backs and be a man, and they would no longer be low-spirited, run-down military households , I will never be called Qiu Ba again.

"It's over, I'm going to be a soldier~"

Unlike the joyous celebrations of the military households, the other common people of Ming Dynasty were terrified when they saw that everyone had to serve in the military.

This good man is not a soldier, and a good iron is not a nail.

Since ancient times, being a soldier is not a good thing. I have not seen how dilapidated, poor and miserable those military households are. The key is that the future generations will be affected, and they can't even pass the imperial examinations.

Moreover, the common people have always been afraid of service when they see it. The taxes and corvee will cost the lives of the common people. Military service, military service, with the word "servant" on it, the common people instinctively feel extremely terrified.

What's more, this is still military service, and it is even more frightening to be a soldier.
